    No, 276, after all, there is still some way

    "Oh? What about last year's harvest?" Huang Junming asked as he walked.

    Ordinarily, last year's harvest was considered low. Under the government's various low-tax policies, there should be a lot of food left after changing the farming methods and farm tools. Why is this young man now saying that if he didn't have a family, he wouldn't be affected by locusts this time?  Will the land be hungry?  Huang Junming took a careful look just now. The land that the young man said was not affected by locusts was at least twenty or thirty acres.  This is a considerable piece of property at any time.

    Hearing Huang Junming ask this question, the young man smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Actually, there was a lot left over from last year's harvest, but my family didn't expect the locusts to come so quickly and in so many quantities. Last year's grain reserves were enough for the family.  Except for the autumn rations, everything was bought by my father in exchange for money" As he spoke, his voice became quieter and quieter until he could no longer hear it.

    "Didn't I tell you that there is a big locust plague?" Taoist Wenrang asked.

    The young man looked at Taoist Wen Rang up and down, and then replied: "This Taoist brother, it seems that you are not much older than me. I am already fifteen this year. It is time to get married and have children. But my family has never been rich.  , my father wants to take advantage of the high price of food to sell some food and keep it for his younger brother to build a new house and get a wife."

    Wen Rang wanted to ask something else, but Huang Junming stopped him with a look. Although Taoism does not prohibit Taoist priests from marrying and having children, in Huang Junming's Tianxian Palace, except those who entered the Tianxian Palace, they were required to marry wives and have children.  The age for getting married and having children is still set as four years after becoming a Taoist, but the age for being allowed to be listed in Tianxian Palace is fourteen years old.  So after all calculations, the Taoists of Tianxian Palace are not allowed to take marriage leave until they are eighteen years old at the earliest.  And the Taoists of Tianxian Palace are never short of money. Even the Taoist priests of the younger generation have a considerable amount of savings, which is as much as the sky and the earth for poor farmers.  These twists and turns of poor peasant families are naturally difficult to understand by Xiaodao

    "Brother, apart from your family, are other families like this?" Huang Junming asked.

    "It's probably the same for other families." The young man tilted his head and said.  "Everyone saved some grain last year. However, from the end of last year to now, grain prices have been rising, and few companies can resist the temptation to exchange grain for money. Before the locusts were discovered, those who sold grain too early were still there.  I regret not buying at a high price, but those who are still waiting for a higher price can still choose. Although they can't afford it, they won't be hungry." After saying this, a look appeared on the young man's face.  Different from the loneliness of peers, perhaps the old saying is true, the children of the poor will be in charge early, and if the family is not rich, the children will naturally mature early and naturally think about their families.

    Huang Junming nodded imperceptibly. He could understand what the young man said, even if someone told everyone that there would be a locust plague this year.  Everyone kept a lot of food in their hands.  However, this will cause the price of food on the market to soar. If the price rises a little, farmers may still be able to keep the food in their hands. As long as the price is higher than the farmers' psychological bottom line, compared with an illusory locust plague prophecy, it is still a heavy Kaiyuan.  Tongbao (Kaiyuan Tongbao was issued in the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty. Kaiyuan Tongbao was not issued only during the Kaiyuan year.) It is more realistic.  If we weren't still a little worried about the coming locust plague, I'm afraid everyone would have sold all the grain in their hands.

    "Now that the locust plague is coming, do you regret it?" Huang Junming looked at the young man with a little pity and a little helplessness in his eyes.  The boy's current appearance is ultimately related to Huang Junming, even if Huang Junming didn't release the news about the locust plague.  This year, the young man in front of me is likely to lose his family and starve to death on the roadside.  But the boy's current appearance was not what Huang Junming expected to see.  Why didn't you think about rising food prices when you first set your sights on agriculture?  Why not remind Li Shimin to issue legal orders through the palace and the government to prohibit the rise in food prices?  This is not something that can be excused by just a few words.

    Hearing Huang Junming's culture, the young man responded with bursts of wry smiles: "Regret? I don't know if I should regret it, yes! After selling grain, my family can build a new house, and I can marry a wife. But because my family is very poor,  I might be hungry, so I should regret it. However, I am looking forward to the new house and my wife. Taoist priest, do you think I am heartless?" The young man stopped, turned around and said calmly  Huang Junming said, but whether it was Huang Junming or the three Xiaodao members of the Fang generation, they could clearly see the ferocious color in the young man's eyes.  I also feel sad for the poor people like the young man in front of me.

    The world is like this, this is the bottom of the Tang Dynasty!  Huang Junming stepped forward and patted the young man's shoulder with trembling hands, but he kept roaring in his heart.  What's the use of nourishing Qi at this time?  Can nourishing qi be used as food?  Can the young man in front of me live in a new house, marry, have children, raise children and farm the land without feeling guilty?

      Perhaps it is his happiness that this young man lives near Chang'an. At the foot of the imperial city, there cannot be too poor people.  And in this great Tang Dynasty, how many people were not as well off as him?  Thousands?  The family endured the pain of hunger and exchanged the little food they had worked hard to save for a year into money, but it was for the sake of continuation for future generations.  As for the younger generations, they are repeating the sad and painful path that their predecessors have walked.  At the end, I was holding a bowl of clear porridge and spent the rest of my life shivering.  Huang Junming didn't dare to think or look. After thinking about these scenes, Huang Junming was afraid that he would have nightmares and that he would not be able to lift the bowl of porridge. Even if he did, he would be frightened by the scene in his mind.  Sprinkle bowl of porridge on pants.

    There were no words to say all the way. Following the young man on this path, whether it was Huang Junming or the three writers, it was extremely difficult. This place is not difficult to walk, but it makes it difficult to move forward.

    I don’t know how long they walked, but the young man squatted down beside the field, untied a piece of land, moved his body, and motioned to Huang Junming to take a look.  The densely packed insect eggs on the ground made Huang Junming, who was already quite irritable, almost nauseous. He patiently looked at it and found that a small number of locust eggs were clearly about to break out of the ground.  Presumably it won't be long before locusts all over the sky will take away the greenery on the earth.  Regarding this, Huang Junming was helpless.

    He crushed the piece of earth in his hands heavily and repeatedly. The dry soil was a bit irritating to his hands, but Huang Junming still crushed the piece of soil and the insect eggs into dust and scattered them far away.

    Suddenly, Huang Junming discovered that there was something different about a piece of land not far away. Although it was as dry as the land in front of him, it was very loose.  Out of curiosity, Huang Junming walked towards the unusual field.

    I fainted. The second brother in the dormitory had an argument with his partner. I couldn’t calm down by writing. I wiped it out.  That’s it for today, and we’ll continue tomorrow.
