492.Chapter 492: The People's Life
In the large iron pot, the milky white fish soup was tumbling, and almost all the foam with the fishy smell on the top was scooped up.
Wen Zhao scooped up a little fish soup, blew on it vigorously, and then tried whether the saltiness was moderate. After tasting it, a smile finally appeared on his face and he said, "Okay, everyone can drink the soup." ”
Chen Hu was already a little impatient, and directly squeezed over to fill his bowl with fish soup.
Zhang Fei's amount of rice was too large, and he hadn't completely eaten yet, so he looked at the crucian carp in the pot and immediately said, "What's the use of drinking soup?" I'd better eat fish. ”
When he had finished speaking, he ran over and caught two fish.
Wen Zhao smiled, just quietly watched everyone's performance, and didn't say anything.
Although there is a lot of fish soup, there are also many people here, and after each person serves a bowl, the fish soup in the pot is almost gone.
Especially with Chen Hu, the king of big stomachs, he didn't stop drinking three bowls in a row, and scooped up the last bit of fish soup in the pot.
Zhang Fei ate the fish in the bowl, his brows tightened, and muttered: "Although the general is good at fighting, this fish is not very good." ”
The crucian carp that has been boiled in fish soup has basically no taste. What's more, in addition to salt, there are almost no other seasonings in the pot, so Zhang Fei has a taste like wax when he eats these two fish.
"Yi Dexiu wants to talk nonsense!"
At this time, Liu Bei had already drunk two mouthfuls of fish soup. When the milky white fish soup enters the mouth, there is a faint fragrance and bitterness, and the greasy residue of the barbecue has dissipated a lot.
Even though it was a hot season, Liu Bei still felt great satisfaction while drinking the hot fish soup.
Generally speaking, almost all fish have some fishy smell. Fish soup is delicious, but if it is not handled properly, it will smell fishy, and it will be disgusting to drink.
But this pot of fish soup does not have the slightest fishy smell, and after drinking it in the stomach, I feel warm all over my body. This kind of warmth does not refer to the heat, but a kind of warmth that cannot be described.
"This soup is amazing!"
Even Liu Bei, who was moody, couldn't help but admire after drinking the fish soup. Of course, he was able to speak like this, and he did not mean to flatter Chen Xu.
"The general is cooking fish soup, and the taste of the fish in it certainly cannot be compared with fish soup. You drink some fish soup in the bowl first, and then comment. ”
Although Zhang Fei caught two fish, there was still some fish soup in the bowl. After he heard Liu Bei's words, he directly drank the fish soup in the bowl in one go.
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said, "Wow, it's so delicious, I still want to drink it!" ”
He quickly ran to the side of the big iron pot, only to find that it was empty, and immediately said with annoyance: "People say that it is better to eat meat than to gnaw bones, and it is better to drink soup than to eat meat, and it is the same for eating fish with feelings." ”
"Hahahaha!"
When everyone heard Zhang Fei's words, they couldn't help but laugh.
Wen Zhao looked at Zhang Fei's disappointed appearance and said, "If Yide likes to drink fish soup, after returning to Yuzhou, you might as well send someone to cook it yourself." As long as you simmer over high heat and scoop out the slime floating on the top, the taste of the fish soup will not be bad. ”
"Of course, fish with a strong fishy smell like carp are not suitable for soup."
A picnic, except for Zhang Fei, everyone felt very satisfied. Especially Chen Hu, eating Wen Zhao's roasted tiger meat and drinking a few large bowls of fish soup, he couldn't walk anymore.
After the meal, Wen Zhao came to the side of the hunter leader, sat on the ground, and said: "The strong man dares to lead the people into the mountains to hunt tigers and eliminate harm for the people, this is a great righteous act." ”
The leader of the hunters hurriedly said in fear: "I waited to go into the mountains to hunt tigers, just to reward money, how dare I say that it is a great righteous act?" ”
Wen Zhao asked again: "The big insect is fierce, and it is somewhat dangerous to go into the mountains to hunt tigers, is it because your family life is difficult and the food is unsustainable?" ”
Although Chen Xu had also led his children to hunt tigers in the mountains before, at that time, it was also because of the lack of food in the village that he had no choice but to make this decision.
When Wen Zhao saw a large group of hunters persistently chasing and killing the tiger for money, he couldn't help but have some other thoughts.
After all, tiger hunting is not a trivial matter, and even if they gather hundreds of hunters, there is still a great danger in them. Generally speaking, the hunters do not want to provoke the tigers unless they can't get by.
Even if the documents submitted by various counties and counties say that the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment, Wen Zhao will not fully believe this matter. Because no matter what era it is, there will be local officials who deceive their superiors and subordinates.
If he hadn't encountered this kind of thing, he would naturally turn a blind eye.
If these hunters in the former Wu County were still living very hard, so they had to go up the mountain to hunt tigers for money, Wen Zhao would not ignore this kind of thing.
Now there is no war in Guanzhong, and even when there is a war, Wen Zhao is very sympathetic to the people and does not dare to recruit too many soldiers to destroy production. Otherwise, with the huge population base of Guanzhong and Bingzhou, even if Wenzhao conscripts one million, it will not be a problem.
Moreover, Guanzhong's policy for the people is very generous, and the wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, but all the people under Wen Zhao's rule, as long as they work hard, life should not be too hard.
Therefore, when he saw a large group of people who were not afraid of life and death, and went into the mountains to hunt tigers, he had some doubts in his heart.
The leader of the Orion seemed to know what his lord was thinking, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the lord, now my life is much better than before, and the surplus food at home is also very sufficient. ”
"We went up to the mountains to hunt tigers this time, purely to earn some reward money, so that our family life is more comfortable and comfortable. What's more, we heard that all the people under the rule of the lord can enter Taixue to study after passing the selection. ”
"Although I don't have any skills, I also want future generations to be able to make a difference. Let's think about it, save more money, and wait until Taixue will enroll students later, and send our cubs to try their luck. ”
"If the criminals can be lucky enough to be chosen, they can be regarded as honoring their ancestors."
Speaking of this, the hunter leader looked excited, full of hope for the future.
After listening to the words of the hunter leader, Wen Zhao understood what they were thinking. Although the government has a policy, for those poor students who study in Taixue, they can be allowed to obtain living expenses through work-study.
However, there are many more who were not selected, and some even came all the way to study in Kabasaka. For them, even the cost of going back and forth will be an extremely large number.
After all, the Han Dynasty was not as convenient as later generations, and for a small fee, you could reach any part of the country by train or car.
In the Han Dynasty, people traveled far away, sometimes for several months, and the accommodation and food expenses they spent along the way were not affordable by ordinary families.
It is precisely because of this that these hunters of Yuanwu want to save more money so that they can send their children to study in Pusaka in the future.
What's more, for these people, even if they send their children to Kasaka, they may not be selected.
Wen Zhao pondered for a long time, then suddenly got up and said solemnly: "In the past, I didn't think about it well, but after I return to the capital this time, I will definitely discuss a strategy with my subordinate Wenwu, which can also create convenience for students from other places who are interested in studying Taixue." ”
"In the future, the government will take into account the time for students from other places to enter Beijing, as well as the travel expenses."
The leader of the hunters also hurriedly got up, and said with some confusion: "It is already a great thing that the government can give everyone the opportunity to enter Taixue. Our lives are slowly getting better now, and it's okay to scrape together some travel expenses. ”
Wen Zhao didn't continue the topic, but began to talk to the hunter leader about some household chores. After talking with the leader of the hunters, Wen Zhao also learned a little about the life of this man.
This person was originally a native of Runan County, Yuzhou, and after Yuan Shu became emperor, he snatched food everywhere and requisitioned the people to fill the army.
In order to avoid military service, the leader of the hunters led his family to hide in the mountains and make a living by hunting, relying on his identity as an old hunter. In the mountains and forests, although the family has an extremely hard life, they can barely survive.
Later, after the defeat of Yuan Shu, the hunter leader's hometown returned with many defeated Yuan soldiers. They desperately preached the benefits of Guanzhong and gathered their neighbors to migrate to Guanzhong.
At that time, due to the severe famine, many people poured into the mountains to hunt, and the prey in the mountains became less and less.
Seeing that life was getting more and more difficult, the leader of the hunters gritted his teeth and led his family down the mountain to migrate to Guanzhong with the others.
Their group of people were arranged by the government in the former county seat of Wu. The government did not break its promise, not only distributing food so that the people who had migrated to prevent them from starving to death, but also distributing houses and fields to them.
In this way, the leader of the hunters took root in Yuanwu.
"In the past two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, coupled with the government tax exemption for three years, our life is getting better day by day. When I dragged my family and came to the rule of my lord far from home, I really did the right thing. ”
At this, the leader of the hunters raised his head as if he was proud of his choice.
In fact, it is true that the Chinese people have an extremely strong sense of the countryside, and no one is willing to leave their hometown unless they are forced to do so.
If he hadn't been able to get by, he wouldn't have made this choice.
Wen Zhao just smiled and listened quietly to the words of the hunter leader, and felt extremely happy in his heart.
Liu Bei looked at the hunter leader, full of happiness, satisfaction, and gratitude to Chen Xu, and his heart was suddenly touched.
"In any case, it is a great thing that the general can let the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, and can be truly loved by the people."
Thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Xu with mixed feelings.
