The soldier took out a secret letter from his bosom, carefully handed it to Han Yue, and then said: "The first batch of goods shipped is mainly a few treasures, and the other is a hundred boxes of gold and two hundred boxes of silver, all loaded with a total of thirty-five large ox carts, and General Li Chong specially sent a thousand hundred horsemen to escort ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, lowered his voice and continued: "Since His Highness has been promoted to our military rank, we can call on the Luoyang local garrison army, and in order to prevent accidents along the way, we have transferred 10,000 people from the garrison to escort them at the same time. ”

Han Yue nodded, indicating that the matter was already known.

He glanced at this Hundred Cavalry Division, and suddenly quipped: "In the future, you will not be regarded as a member of the Hundred Cavalry Division, you should be regarded as the military attache of the Luoyang local garrison. ”

The soldier hurriedly straightened his chest and said solemnly: "Being able to serve His Highness is what I hope in my heart." ”

Han Yue smiled and scolded a sycophant.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the other warrior and said in a leisurely tone, "What about you?" Do you have anything to report? ”

This warrior is also a member of the Hundred Cavalry Division, but he is not the part of the people who participated in the excavation of treasures, the Hundred Cavalry Division is the royal secret spy organization, and every province in the world has branches, this warrior is the person of the Luoyang Branch, responsible for monitoring the officialdom and people's livelihood of the entire Luoyang.

When he saw Han Yue asking, he first glanced left and right, and then took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness Qiqi, the officials of Luoyang are going to do something again, not long after you left just now, these people began to discuss the matter of the imperial examination, they want to temporarily do good deeds to please you, and they are ready to send people to various villages and villages in Luoyang to deliver rice and grain." In particular, the scholar's family may give priority to ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked up at Han Yue's face, and cautiously reminded: "The leader under his command feels that this matter is suspected of inviting people to buy people's hearts, especially when the imperial examination is about to begin, so he urgently sent a villain to tell His Highness, hoping that His Highness will make a conclusion on this matter, whether to stop them, or to take it directly?" ”

"Stop a fart, take a fart!"

Han Yue scolded with a smile, raised his foot and kicked the soldier lightly, and said, "Why stop doing good deeds?" Although the officials in Luoyang are trying to sell well to me, it is the poor people who get the benefits, so don't stop this matter, let them do it. ”

"Your subordinates understand!" The warrior bowed his hand and prepared to take his leave and turn away.

"Wait!"

Han Yue suddenly opened his mouth to stop, thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Luoyang officials do good, use the government warehouse or their own private wealth?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's private wealth!"

"Very good, the king of this book also intervenes!"

Han Yue nodded, then looked at the other Hundred Cavalry Division warriors, and said with a leisurely expression: "You go and talk to Li Chong, let him get 100,000 copper coins from the treasure, and this batch of money will be transported directly to the Luoyang Mansion, and let the officials go together to distribute it to the people." ”

"100,000!" The warrior's throat rolled a few times, obviously a little reluctant for Han Yue.

Han Yue laughed and scolded, and suddenly raised his foot and slammed it twice, and the two soldiers were all kicked away by him, but he himself turned around and continued to march towards the narrow alley.

He said leisurely as he walked: "Go back to do things, according to what this king said, 100,000 guan is not much, but remember not to be corrupt." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will be watching secretly." The two warriors bowed their hands from afar, patting their chests and making promises.

"Go ahead, I'm sure you'll wait......"

Han Yue's laughter came slowly, and his figure slowly disappeared in a dilapidated market.

……

……

This is indeed a relatively dilapidated market, hidden in a very remote corner of Luoyang City, but you can see a narrow path that curves and stretches, and there is black and smelly sewage flowing on both sides of the road.

In fact, there are not only Luoyang such markets, but also the capital of Chang'an, where there are poor people and slums everywhere.

Han Yue came all the way here, and he didn't dislike the dirty roads, he walked casually as if he was wandering, but his eyes kept looking at this square city.

Poor, very poor!

Broken, very broken!

Every house is a wooden hut with some old blackened thatch, which is so rotten and weathered that it has not been roof changed for years.

In ancient times, the family and the country were emphasized, and the residence of the family was always the first place in the hearts of the people, but these families could not even change the roof with new grass every year, and the implied poverty and hardship can be seen.

However, although the market is dilapidated, it seems to be very lively, and there are some bare-bare dolls playing in the small alleys from time to time, and they do not seem to feel sad because of poverty.

Of course, this is just a bare-nosed doll.

Because they are too young and belong to the innocent and carefree season, they can't make a conclusion from the frolic of these dolls, and they must contact adults if they really want to see the people's livelihood.

But Han Yue had an enlightenment before he came into contact with adults.

Because he saw a lot of half-grown children along the way!

The so-called half-grown children, in the later life, that is, the age when they have just entered junior high school, and some are even younger, about seven or eight years old, but it is these seven or eight-year-old children who have begun to help their families do things.

For example, Han Yue saw two children, half-squatting at the door of his wooden shed, sweating profusely, obviously only seven or eight years old, but their palms were already full of calluses.

They're smashing dirt, smashing a kind of dirt that can become clay.

One child is responsible for crushing large chunks of earth and carefully checking them for doped stones, while another is finely processing, twisting the clay into powder from a broken wooden board.

When the clay had been twisted, the child would carefully carry it into the hut with both hands, as if the family was poor and lacked tools, and the child could only transport the clay by hand rather than with a shovel or anything else.

Han Yue's heart moved, and he walked over, he poked his head into the wooden shed to take a look, and found that there was a person inside who was busy working.

At this time, although it was a blue sky and a white day, the light of the wooden shed was very dark, and Han Yue could vaguely see that the person was a woman, but he was smeared like a coal black.

This is supposed to be a young woman, and it is her child who works at the door. There is a small bed on the edge of the wooden shed, and there is a little doll lying on the bed who keeps kicking her legs and playing, the doll is estimated to be a year old, and it is strange that no one takes care of her and does not cry or make trouble.

"Sister-in-law, the little doll is lying on the bed casually, not afraid of rolling down and falling?"

Han Yue stood at the door and shouted, using this way to start the topic, he knew that if he wanted to integrate into the people, the easiest way was to talk about children.

It's a pity that the woman in the room didn't raise her head, and her hands were still busy.

She laughed as she worked, and said, "It's not in the way, get used to it, poor people's dolls, where are so many exquisite?" Besides, the bed is not high, even if it falls, it is not a big deal, at most cry a few times, just a mouthful of milk, her two brothers have fallen countless times, and now they are not still helping the family......"

It's okay to fall down, at most a few tears.

Just this sentence instantly made Han Yue's nose a little sour.

Since ancient times, maternal love is great, there is no mother who does not love her children, but for the sake of family life, she can only let go of her children first.

It's not that I don't want to be coaxed in my arms, but I need to free my hands to do the work.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a peddler from Chang'an, I'm going to find some money-making business, I see that your family is making clay and scooping water and mud, is it to make pottery?"

Han Yue continued to speak, and entered the wooden shed in a self-cooked manner.

He scooped out a scoop of water from the water tank at the edge of the wooden shed, pretending to be thirsty and said: "After walking all morning, I feel a little thirsty, sister-in-law, I will ask for a sip of water to drink, and after drinking, I will help you do some work to pay the bill......"

"A scoop of cold water, what do you say about offsetting the account?" The woman laughed, but kept her head down.

Han Yue chuckled, picked up the water scoop and wanted to drink water, only to find that the water quality was turbid, and there were obviously fine particles floating there.

"I'll go, can I drink this water?" Han Yue frowned, although he didn't say it, he felt a little worried in his heart.

The woman suddenly looked up at him and said with a smile: "Look at you, this little brother is not like a poor man, he is so thirsty that he refuses to drink raw water?" Put the scoop down, there's a good one in the pot over there. ”

Han Yue smiled, touched his nose and explained: "The main reason is that the water quality is too muddy, and I am afraid that I will have a stomach trouble if I drink it, I am a peddler, and I dare not fall ill in the field......"

"That's right!" The woman giggled, her eyes brightened. She wiped her black palm, turned over and filled a clay bowl with some hot water for Han Yue.

Han Yue wasn't actually thirsty, but he still took it and drank it slowly.

The woman's eyes lit up again for some reason, and she giggled and asked Han Yue if she wanted to drink it.

At this time, the two children finished smashing the dirt, and sent the last clay in their hands, and they didn't seem to be curious that there were guests at home, but said to the woman: "Mother, the work is done, we want to go to the front street, today there are artists in the wine shop to talk about the ancients, a talk in the middle of the night, you can learn a lot of things......"

The woman nodded hurriedly and said solemnly: "Then hurry over, remember to listen more and remember more." ”

The two children said yes, but did not leave immediately, one of them stood at the door of the wooden shed, and the other pretended to pick up a scoop of water and drink.

No matter how much the child pretended, he could never hide the central thing in his heart, Han Yue's heart moved slightly, and he felt that there should be something in it.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the child who was rubbing at the door to open his mouth, he looked Han Yue up and down carefully for a long time, and finally said vaguely: "You are kind to my mother tonight, she still has to work tomorrow, don't be like those bad guys, all the strength of several lifetimes has been used......"

Han Yue was slightly stunned, and opened his mouth to ask, but the two children suddenly left, and before leaving, they glanced at Han Yue again, there was a very satisfied taste in their eyes, and they even smiled and nodded to Han Yue.

Han Yue's heart was even more strange, and he vaguely felt that he was in trouble.
