"Brother, why are there so many barren people outside Yulin Town?" Jin Jincheng turned his horse and looked back at his brother, "These barren people have always been there in autumn and winter, so why are there in this summer?"
Jin Jinming recalled the famine that plagued the government last autumn, and replied: "Some areas in the south have been plagued by locusts for several years in a row, and the crops have been destroyed to varying degrees. Some families can survive, while others have no harvest. Think about it. It should be because they couldn¡¯t survive there, so they fled all the way here. Maybe they didn¡¯t come out in summer, but it was summer when they arrived here.¡±
"But why did you choose Yulin Town, which is not rich?" Jin Jincheng asked strangely.
"Second brother, there is Xinghua Village in Yulin Town." Jin Jinming said: "The Xiong family offered the method of pan-kang, and the official Quan Yuchao promoted it. People in Yulin Town will naturally think that Yulin Town is a good place. The people in Yulin Town can live in warm kangs long ago, and they don¡¯t have to worry about freezing to death in winter. How rich and prosperous it should be, even the officials want to reward them , put it on your lips."
"Because of this, those people who were severely famine and couldn't survive came here?"
"Yes." Jin Jincheng said lightly.
"Yes, but Yulin Town is a poor town. How can Yulin Town support these hundreds of people?"
"So they were all kept out of the city." Jin Jinming looked at the mourners on both sides of the official road with indifferent eyes, without any disturbance.
However, his younger brother, Jin Erlang, already showed his unbearable expression. He reached into his bosom unconsciously and took out a beautiful money bag, but was stopped by his elder brother.
"Erlang, don't cause trouble."
Jin Jincheng looked at his elder brother's indifferent face, and for some reason there was a surge of anger in his heart, "Brother, you have been sitting in an official position in Tokyo for a long time, and your heart is hardened like a stone after learning from those old men. , our family is not bad, if you can help me, why not, why did it become trouble in your mouth?"
Jin Jinming looked at his only one-mother brother and sighed deeply. After all, his brother was protected too well, he didn't understand anything, and had to experience things.
Jin Jinming sighed, compromised and said: "Second brother, outside this city gate, if you give them money and they can buy anything with it, isn't it different from stones." He turned his head and said to the dozens of guards behind him: "Give them all the food we have left, and we can buy more when we enter the city."
"Yes." The guard responded and distributed all the remaining rations to the desolate people on both sides of the official road.
The desolate people looked haggard and seemed to have no strength to breathe. However, when the guards came forward with food, they squeezed forward like lunatics with strange strength. A skinny old man couldn't compete with an adult, so he snatched the dry food given by his parents in the hands of a four or five-year-old child, and stuffed it into his mouth instantly.
The child couldn't grab the old man and cried loudly. When his parents saw it, they went crazy and wanted to grab it back. They just grabbed that little bit, and the old man snatched it, what else would the child eat. But even if the old man was knocked down to the ground, he threw up his hands and held the dry food and refused to let go. He stuffed it into his mouth desperately, stretched his neck and swallowed, and rolled his eyes from choking.
Jin Jincheng couldn't bear it, he didn't want to watch, so he turned his eyes away.
"What are you going to do!" The sword came out of its sheath with a few 'swish' sounds, and the guards of the Jin family pulled out their sharp swords instantly, protecting Jin Jinming and Jin Jincheng in the middle.
Jin Jincheng looked up, and found those desolate people who didn't get it, or who got it and didn't have enough to eat, looking at them with green eyes. Those eyes are no longer the eyes that humans should have, but the eyes of a very hungry wolf.
When had Jin Jincheng ever seen the sight of a beast shining in the eyes of a human being, he was so frightened that he froze on the horse.
However, Jin Jinming seemed to have expected this to happen a long time ago. His voice was surprisingly cold and calm, "Whoever dares to offend will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
There was a sound of reply, and a guard drew out his sword, and stabbed the man who was trying to reach out to Jin Jincheng with his sword. The man screamed, covered his wound and retreated resentfully. The splattered blood temporarily drank the desolate people away.
Jin Jinming shouted, "Go!"
The group ran quickly, leaving those desolate people far behind. Jin Jincheng looked back immediately, there were still some desolate people unwilling to catch up with the official way, but they were too fast, and quickly threw them away.
There are several groups of running merchants behind them, and those merchants automatically form a group and face the desolate people on guard. If they dare to charge up, they will kill them immediately. No one is as stupid as he is. Come down and give something.
City Gate Tower??It is cheap, and this kind of packaging can keep at least one to two months longer. "
Jin Jinming looked at Tang Shou as if he saw a treasure, and ordered 500 packs on the spot.
The brothers of the Jin family lived in a small building in a private courtyard. At night, Jin Jincheng woke up from his dream and went to pick up his elder brother.
Jin Jinming said sleepily, "Second brother, what's the matter, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"
Jin Jincheng said nervously: "Brother, tell me the truth, do you have a crush on Xiong Fulang? I just said that your eyes are not right. After a nap, I really figured it out."
Jin Jinming laughed softly, "Just ask this, don't you think that Xiong Zhuangshan is not worthy of Tang Shou at all?"
"You are not allowed to call her by her boudoir name, that is Mrs. Xiong." Jin Jincheng said angrily, "I don't think it's unworthy, but I think I shouldn't bring you here."
"Little brother, you are still too young. Don't you see that there is something wrong between Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan? The butcher really liked him, but Tang Shou seemed to have other ideas." Jin Jinming thought of Jin Jincheng's accident during the day Tang Shou pondered strangely. "Also, if Tang Shou goes with us and uses him for me, with his ability, our Jin family may achieve unprecedented glory."
"You don't like Xiong Fulang, but you just want to use him?"
"No, I also like him very much. He is different from other little ladies with twin children. But this does not conflict with his continued business operation. He likes him. Isn't that what he is doing at Xiong's house?"
"If he wants to leave, I am willing to help him."
