Chapter 22 Xiuchi Road meets a slave, and Lu Di cries
Seeing this, Qi Jinggong laughed and said, "I didn't expect Dr. Fan to have this ability, you can accompany the widow to take a look." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone laughed when they heard this, Yan Ying quietly grabbed Zai Yu and gave him some instructions, and Zai Yu nodded. Of course, this did not go unnoticed by others.
"Doctor Fan, the widow only thought that you had a talent for internal affairs, but I never thought that you would be able to do this? The widow underestimates you, and the sin of the widow is also" Qi Jinggong Yu deliberately wanted to bow.
As soon as Fan Li saw his own gentleman coming up, he hurriedly took off his apron and dressed up to ask for gifts, looking at everyone's kind smiles, he also blushed and smiled.
Seeing Fan Li's appearance, everyone smiled even more, and Qi Jinggong shouted repeatedly, "The widow hasn't been so happy for a long time!" ”
"Brother Fan Li, what are you doing?" Lu Di smelled the fragrance in the soup and swallowed. After Lu Di's reminder, everyone also came back to taste, it was really fragrant! Yan Ying opened her eyes and said happily, "Isn't this Bayu Tanghu?" ”
Bayu soup? Everyone looked at Yan Ying suspiciously. Yan Ying licked her lips, as if she was in the aftertaste, "When the baby went to the Chu State, Chu Hou used this soup to entertain the baby, that delicious!" "Anyway, he completely disregarded the etiquette of a country.
It was the first time for everyone to see Yan Ying like this, and they were looking forward to this so-called Bayu soup even more. Qi Jinggong looked at Fan Li, wanting to determine whether what Yan Ying said was true, Fan Li smiled and said, "What the minister said is very true, this is Bayu soup, Li once followed a master to learn this art..."
"Good!" Qi Jinggong was overjoyed. Zhong You, who was serving on the side, saw that he hurriedly took the pottery bowl and spooned a bowl from it and handed it to Qi Jinggong, who didn't care how hot the soup was, he sent it to his mouth in a daze! Everyone looked at the black lines all over their heads.
"Delicious!" Qi Jinggong smashed his mouth, and his mouth was scalded with a layer of white skin, but he was still amazed, this was the best soup he had drunk so far!
Qi Jinggong saw that everyone was looking at him, obviously saying that he would give us a taste, Qi Jingcheng wanted to agree, and Lu Di spoke, "Daddy, Tu Tu is thinking about a problem."
Well? Everyone looked at him suspiciously, Lu Di pointed to the sky with small steps, and then pointed to the slaves and scholars who were working to burn earth and build roads, "Daddy, they are so hard!" Can you let them taste it too? ”
This? Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Lu Di's small body, their expressions gradually changed, some were happy, some were sad, some were cold, and some were cold! Nakayu said happily, "Childe is really merciful!" ”
Qi Jinggong was very happy, he looked at Fan Li, Fan Li was embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the materials for making Bayu soup are all used in this ding, so... So..."
When everyone heard this, they saw that the only Bayu soup glowed green, as if anyone dared to distribute this soup to others, they would fight desperately. Of course, Qi Jinggong knew the thoughts of the group of doctors behind him, and sighed, "Tu'er, look..."
Lu Tu's mouth pouted and he was about to cry, "Hmph, no matter how good the Bayu soup is, it's just Bayu soup, Daddy, Tu Tu wants to let all those who build roads for Daddy eat broth, huh?" Right! And the big white film! Isn't there a cold sheep in Daddy Dr. Chen's family? Pull over and kill a few, cook mutton soup for them, and then let Zhuang Jia send someone to make a white mask, and Tu Tu wants them... They eat mutton steamed buns! ”
Everyone was scorched and tender by Lu Di's words, and the mutton was soaked in buns? What is this? looked at Qi Jinggong suspiciously, Qi Jinggong was stupid at the moment, one breath, two breaths, he suddenly shouted, "Oops, oops, oops, why didn't the widow think of it, didn't expect it?" Zhuang Jia, Zhuang Jia, you go quickly, send someone to build a food shop here, the widow wants to eat Bayu soup steamed buns, no, no, mutton steamed buns! ”
Zhuang Jia didn't say a word and got on his second horse cart and ran to the city, Chen Qi saw that he had escaped, so he let his son go home to pull sheep and slaughter them.
At this time, Lu Di said again, "Brother Fan Li, how many scholars and slaves are there who are working?" ”
Fan Li was stunned, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth for a short time, and then he said righteously, "Yu Gongzi, there are more than 2,000 people in total!" ”
"Two thousand! Dr. Chen: How many sheep do you have? Lu Di pouted, very cute.
Hearing this, Chen Qi guessed the impending disaster, gritted his teeth and said, "Childe, although Chen Qi has a lot of sheep, there are only a hundred that can be raised now, so if you want to supply so many people to eat, I'm afraid you can only keep one meal!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Di cried and said, "Daddy, Tu Di wants all those people to eat mutton and steamed buns every day until the road is repaired, and the repair is completed!" ”
Although Qi Jinggong was also distressed about money, when he saw his beloved son crying, his heart suddenly melted, and he hurriedly said, "Tu'er, don't cry, don't cry, Daddy paid for Zhuang Jia to buy sheep, buy sheep, and ensure that they can eat a meal of mutton steamed buns a day, oh, obediently, don't cry..."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Fan Li took the initiative to ask for an order, "Your Excellency, although Fan Li is poor, he still has 100 gold, and he is willing to donate all of it to the monarch for capital use."
Qi Jinggong applauded when he heard it. When everyone heard this, they immediately scolded Fan Li, you are so vicious! The first sword in office got rid of a large number of doctors, and now the second sword actually cut at himself, but seeing that Yan Ying also said that he would donate a thousand gold, he obviously couldn't lose face, so he donated money one after another. Chen Qi is a gold owner, so he naturally pays the most.
When Lu Di saw that his wish had been fulfilled, he laughed and threw himself into Qi Jinggong's arms, and Qi Jinggong raised his eyebrows with affection.
Zhong You struck the big gong and loudly publicized what Gongzi Tu had done, and it was the first time that a group of slaves and scholars had heard that they had actually taken care of the food, and they also took the mutton steamed buns that they had never heard of, and they knelt down in front of Qi Jinggong and Lu Di, shouting long live, long live!
As the sun set, the slaves and scholars all washed their hands at Lu Di's request, lined up with uniform pottery bowls, and began the first collective meal in Chinese history.
The scholars were shocked when they saw some yellowed steamed buns, what is this? It was the first time they had seen it, but the smell of wheat from the soft, hot thing told them that it was a beautiful thing to eat. The mutton soup in the pottery bowl exudes an incomparable fragrance, and there is also the wild vegetable that belongs to spring!
The scholars were stunned, not to mention the slaves, they looked at Lu Di and released the heat, and there were tears rolling in the heat, the first time they were seen as people! What's more, that man is still a high-ranking son! He must have been sent from Heaven to save us!
Suddenly someone was eating and crying, and then a whole crowd was crying, and finally all of them were crying. Qi Jinggong was very puzzled, although the mutton steamed bun was delicious, it wasn't like that! He hugged Lu Di and came to an elder and said, "Old man, why are you crying? ”
The old man said, "Your Majesty, I, I was originally from the Jin Kingdom, and later I was defeated and became a slave of the Qi Kingdom, so it's been almost thirty years since I think about it!" Your Majesty, do you know how I've lived for thirty years? I eat worse than cows and horses in these doctors' houses, but you cows and horses are even more tired when they work, we will not be dissatisfied, because we are slaves, and slaves have to pay with their lives for the mistakes they made before becoming slaves, but your lord, slaves are also people, and the pigs and dogs we eat are not as good, we don't complain, but if we don't even have the dignity of being human beings, then we... Only... Your Majesty, today you and Childe have given me dignity that has disappeared for thirty years, so I... I'm crying! ”
Qi Jinggong was sad when he heard this, and tears fell straight down, and Lu Di whimpered, "Grandpa, is it your grandson behind you?" ”
When the old man heard that Lu Di actually called him the old man, he trembled and lay on the ground, "Childe, don't call me that, I'm just a slave, just a slave..."
Lu Di broke away from Qi Jinggong's arms and helped him up with all his small body strength, "Grandpa, okay, Tu Tu won't call you grandpa, don't knock it, Tu Tu beg... Please..."
But the more the old man listened to Lu Di like this, the more he kept kowtowing, and Lu Di was in a hurry, bang, and knelt in front of the old man.
Surprised, surprised, stunned, stunned! A dignified prince of a big country actually knelt down to a slave, the onlookers stopped breathing three times, and a slave suddenly knelt down to Lu Di, and then two, three... All the slaves knelt in the direction of Lu Di.
Seeing this, the old man hugged his two grandsons and howled.
Lu Di understood, he turned his head and became a tearful person, "Daddy, why did the ancestors commit a crime and let the younger generations bear it; Why should the state bear the burden of its people when it has sinned? The Jin State is guilty, what is the guilt of the old man; The old grandfather is guilty, but what is the guilt of his grandchildren? ”
"Daddy, they are human beings, they are human beings like Tu Tu, they should lie in their father's arms and enjoy their father's doting, but what have they suffered now? Daddy, why are there so many wars and injustices in this world, why, why? Lu Di cried loudly in the quiet wilderness.
When Qi Jinggong saw his beloved son's appearance, he also knelt down and hugged Lu Di tightly, as if he was afraid that his next breath would disappear. Nakayu cried and knelt down; Yan Ying cried and knelt down; Fan Li cried and knelt down; Jae-yu cried and knelt down... Sun Wu cried and knelt down... Everyone fell to their knees...
In the whole wilderness, the spring breeze is whistling, whistling out of prosperity, and whistling out of the joys and sorrows of the world! The mistakes made by the ancestors should not be borne by the younger generations; The mistakes made by the country should not be borne by the people!
Qi Jinggong looked at his son, looked at everyone kneeling, he stood up tremblingly, and shouted, "From today on, all slaves in the Qi country who have served for ten years will be removed from their slave status; All those who have made meritorious contributions are removed from the status of slaves; Where..."
Hooray, hooray, hooray... The slaves woke up and cried and shouted excitedly, they didn't know what words to use to express their feelings at the moment, they only knew, hooray, hooray, hooray...
Qi Jinggong took Lu Di's little hand to meet the sunset, and slowly walked towards his horse's cart... Lu Di's small figure at the moment was stretched very long, very long under the light of the setting sun...
The slaves looked at the backs of their father and son, with tears in their eyes, bangbang... kowtowed. The old man said to his two grandsons, "Meng Tan, Boyan, grandfather wants you to swear an oath that you will be loyal to the king and the prince for the rest of your life..."
The two grandchildren were ignorant, but looking at their grandfather's appearance, they solemnly swore an oath, "Grandson Zhang Mengtan, Zhang Botan swears..."
