Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

  Danshan Village is only a small village with about 30 households. They are the only village within a radius of 20 miles. There used to be two small villages near their village, but they were all relocated a few years ago.

  Because it’s almost all mountainous, it’s too difficult to farm to fill your stomach.

   They also left many people from Danshan Village, and there are only about 30 households in existence.

   They may not have seen a stranger for a few years, except for two horse riders who ran over some time ago and bought them some corn and cabbage.

It was snowing heavily in the past two days, not only the road from their village was blocked, but even the official road two kilometers away from them was blocked by snow, but the villagers were not anxious at all, except for the dilapidated houses at home. Those who braved the snow to repair, most people are leisurely cats and winters.

  If the road is closed, the road will be closed, and they will not leave the village again. It will be fine when the sun comes out and the snow melts.

   So when they saw a group of people shoveling away the thick snow piled up at the entrance of their village, leaving only a layer of snow close to the ground, the villagers' eyes widened.

   Who is this one who is full and has nothing to do to shovel snow?

  The villagers looked at the group of people with wooden shovels in a state of embarrassment with the eyes of "neuropathy", but the chivalrous warriors on the opposite side couldn't help but burst into tears after seeing the villagers.

They were forced to shovel snow by Yuan Shanting and others, because they heard that there is a small village on the trail about 2 miles from the official road that goes down southward for 15 miles, in order to get rid of Yuan Shanting and others. The threat of people, everyone unanimously decided to dig to the small village.

   When the road was dug through, they bought several hundred catties of grain from the villagers, and they ate one bowl over another to see how Yuan Shanting and the others threatened them with grain!

  The knights swarmed up and took out silver to buy food.

  The villagers looked at the silver in their hands with envy, but still shook their heads, "There is no food in our village!"

   Heroes:  …

A relatively honest-looking chivalrous man was pushed out. He smiled and said to the old villagers with frowns: "Big brother, we are sincere to buy food from you. You also saw that it snowed heavily two days ago. , We have been trapped in the mountains for several days, and I heard that there is a village here, so we shoveled the road over here, just to buy some food."

  The villagers hesitated, but after thinking about it, they ruthlessly rejected their request.

  The knights gritted their teeth and took out some silver, and one of them even took out a small ingot of gold.

  The eyes of the villagers were red, but they still did not dare to agree.

  The morale of the heroes fell, and they felt that these villagers were not honest at all, and they were not raising prices like this.

   In the end, it was an old man who was trembling with a cane and was helped out: "My dear guests, forgive me, it's not that we have the heart to raise prices, it's just that we really have no food."

   "It's only been two months since the winter, and how long does it take for the autumn harvest? Who would believe that there is no food?" A knight blushed and shouted, "If you don't want to sell, you won't want to sell, why bother lying to us?"

  The old man turned his head and said to the man behind him: "Jinzi, go and bring out your pot and bring out the grain bag."

  The young man named Jinzi glanced at the menacing chivalrous men across from him, replied softly, and immediately turned back to his house—his house was at the entrance of the village, and the house behind the villagers was his house.

   Soon he came out with his mother-in-law, he was carrying the grain bag, and his mother-in-law was carrying the pot.

  Under the old man's gesture, the two opened the pot and the grain bag.

   There was a dark mass in the pot. The chivalrous men didn’t understand what it was when they saw it. The first impression was that the cooking skills of this restaurant were very poor. Did they make the stuff mushy?

   And the grain sack is ground to shreds. Most of the knights still recognize this, and they frown slightly.

  The simple and honest chivalrous man reached into the grain bag and grabbed a handful of bran, only to find that there were some rice grains mixed in the bran, but there were only two or three grains of rice in the bran in one paw, which was almost negligible.

   But the peasant family cherishes food, not to mention these poor peasants who are wearing patches and tires, even the rich peasants will not let the pig-feeding Conley mix rice grains, so this is their food!

  The warriors fell silent, silently looking at the bony, yellow-faced and skinny villagers across from them.

"After paying the tax, you won't have much food left. If you had said a few days earlier, you might have been able to evenly distribute it for you, but a few days ago, two men on horseback came to buy some corn from the village, and they also followed suit. You also paid a high price. We only collected two bags for the 30 or so households in our village. Now the rest of the rice has been mixed into the chaff. Not to mention that it is difficult to pick it up. We have to save it for the elderly and children in the family. You can't eat all the bran all year round, and the taste of rice grains mixed with 20% is much better."

   Always unrestrained and unrestrained, the chivalrous warriors who were happy with their revenge suddenly felt depressed, as if a stone had been pressed against their hearts.

   Determined to be a good official, and already famous, Zhao Ning was even more sour in his heart. He whispered to Gu Jingyun standing in front, "Sir, are some officials greedy and cruel?"

  Gu Jingyun looked at Bai Yitang.

   Bai Yitang shook his head and said, "No."

   He looked around and said: "This place is full of mountains, and there are hardly a few acres of arable land. Most of them are poor because there is too little land, and the late emperor has increased taxes year after year..."

   Bai didn't finish his speech, but everyone already understood, so they could not help clenching their fists secretly.

   Gu Jingyun said: "Go and call the people behind, we will camp here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow morning."

  The warriors in front of the rivers and lakes heard the words and honestly drooped their heads to move things and set up camp. There was no way, they couldn't buy food, they had to be controlled by Gu Jingyun and others.

  Gu Jingyun beckoned to Zhao Ning, "Come with me to see the village chief."

  The village chief was the old man who was on crutches just now. Seeing so many people stationed at the entrance of the village, he could not help clenching his crutches, his eyes full of worry.

   They are short of food. He has been hungry, and he has seen hungry people. If it is not good, their village may be completely destroyed.

   The village chief was worried when he looked up and saw a young man leading a young man towards him.

  The boy politely gave him a bow to the end, and said, "Hello, old man."

   "Young master is this?"

  Gu Jingyun straightened up and smiled and said, "Old man, I brought my students out for a study tour. Every time I go, I like to ask about customs and customs. Please forgive me if I disturb you."

  The old man's eyes swept from Gu Jingyun's body to Zhao Ning's body, and he was slightly surprised when he saw him standing behind the boy with his hands respectfully folded, but he quickly recovered.

   So many people suddenly appeared, he also had to inquire about the news, and the two also needed to know some news from him, and the two sides could just exchange.

  The old man immediately smiled and said sideways: "Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

  The old man expropriated Jinzi's house and led two people in. First, he had to sit here, and secondly, he didn't bother to go to his house in the center of the village.

   The smile on Gu Jingyun's face became more sincere, and he followed the old man into the room.

   "I think the son is a scholar, and those with weapons seem to be from Jianghu. How did the son walk with them?"

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "We are all trapped in the Temple of the City God. There are people from all over the world, even those who are officials."

  The old man was startled, "Is there still an official?"

   "Yes, they escorted some things to pass here, but unfortunately they were also blocked in the Chenghuang Temple," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "Fortunately, they have a lot of food, otherwise everyone would have made trouble earlier."

   "Then why do those people still buy food from us, just buy some from the officials."

Gu Jingyun laughed and said: "They don't sell it, but they are willing to take out food for everyone to eat together, but everyone has to listen to them and shovel the snow away so that the carriages can pass. Jianghu people are used to being unrestrained, how have they ever suffered With such constraints, they all think about going their separate ways after buying food."

   The stone hanging in the heart of the old man was loosened. With officials present, those people in the rivers and lakes should not be able to kill people and steal goods, and they have food!

   Few people will do unconscionable things if they are not hungry.

Seeing this, Gu Jingyun raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Old man, we have seen a small village along the way, but it only looks like seven or eight families, but it has already disappeared. The Temple of the City God is so big, we thought there would be a village nearby. There are quite a few villages."

   Generally, the temples used for this kind of blessing are not built far away from people, so it is not normal for this official road to have such a long distance to have a small village.

   The old village chief sighed: "There used to be several villages here, but everyone dispersed."

The village chief pointed to the lush green mountains and jungles outside and said, "Young master also saw that we are full of mountains, the dense forests in the mountains are dangerous, and the wasteland for reclamation is really too little. In the past ten years, the taxation has increased year by year. Seriously, everyone left after they couldn’t survive, and it wasn’t their hometown anyway, so if you leave, you can change to another place.”

   "Not your hometown?"

The old village chief nodded, "Except for the few households that are still in our village, the rest are all refugees arranged by Emperor Qianyuan. At that time, there were wars at the border and many people from the north went south. Emperor Qianyuan ordered the government to arrange refugees on the spot. There are only a dozen or so households in our village, and more than half of them are hunters, and most of the family is young, so it is too difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.”

"My grandfather was the head of the village at that time. When the head of the village asked him if he could arrange refugees, he nodded and said yes, and chose nine families with many daughters to live in. In order to integrate into the village as soon as possible, those people from outside were willing to join the village as soon as possible. Let your daughter marry in the village, and if you marry close enough, you can take care of it." The village chief sighed, "Who would have thought that the county would be moved by this, and all the refugees dispatched by the county would follow this official road. It was arranged that if there was no village, the refugees would form a new village. The surrounding area was full of mountains. To cultivate the land, it was necessary to open up wasteland first. It was not bad at the time of Emperor Qianyuan. There were regulations at that time. The refugees who settled down were also exempted from tax and servitude for two years. After that, they had to pay very little tax. The highest tax was only thirty-one tax, and the low one could be as low as fifty-one tax. Although the land was poor and the land was scarce, Everyone can live a good life, but since Concubine Lan was favored, the taxation of the imperial court has become heavier by the day."
