MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 1395 Extra 范子 衿 (12)

   Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran stood at the entrance of the town and looked at the victims sitting on the ground in surprise.

  This is a pretty big town. Nearly 200 disaster victims gathered here at the town entrance, which can be seen elsewhere.

  The two walked in with a frown and found an inn to rest.

   They didn't sleep well last night, and they didn't have breakfast and lunch today. They were too hungry to walk, so they decided to stay and rest for a day, and then left after they had eaten enough.

  Because they had a lot of money, they slept in the best guest room and ate the best meals. After they were full, they remembered and asked the shop assistant, "Why are there so many disaster victims outside? Is there another flood?"

   Drought and flood are the most common natural disasters in the south of the Yangtze River. Drought is impossible this month, but flooding is possible.

Xiao Er glanced at the two of them, and saw that although their clothes were wrinkled, they were made of brocade, and the two of them were skinny and tender. At first glance, they looked like a rich boy. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Those in Zhenkou are not us. People from the south of the Yangtze River came from the north. I heard that last winter, Dajin went south to dig grassy valleys, burning a lot of villages, and some entire towns were slaughtered. These are all refugees who escaped from the north."

Seeing that the two of them couldn't bear it, Xiao Er said, "We're pretty good here, after all, it's close to the capital, and if you go further north, you'll encounter more refugees, and you'll have to bring your family with you, and listen to the merchants who come and go. Some refugees are so hungry that they eat human flesh, and when they leave Lin'an Mansion, bandits are rampant, and most of these refugees are forced to become pirates."

   Qi Haoran widened his eyes and asked, "Don't the court have no countermeasures?"

   "Hey, the little son still counts on the emperor? He even lost half of the land left by his ancestors, and now he is so drunk in the capital, how can he care about the lives of the common people?"

  Little Er wiped his hands and left.

  Qi Haoran exhaled in anger, "What's the difference between the emperor and the emperor?"

Fan Zijin knew more because he was trained by his husband and said: "Actually, the imperial court has allocated food for relief, although not much, but it is not completely ignored, but the sage is extravagant, the upper and the lower are effective, and the officials below are also greedy and cruel. , The money allocated for this grain began to be embezzled from Prime Minister Qin, and when it was in the hands of the common people, there were not one out of ten, so there were so many refugees who fell into trouble."

   "Then the emperor doesn't care?"

Fan Zijin said indifferently: "What to do? He is the biggest corrupt leader. Since the capital was moved to Lin'an, the palace in Lin'an has been expanding. The project just ended last year. To build a palace on it, to keep warm in winter and to escape the heat in summer, these households have to pay part of the money, and part of it has to come from his inner treasury. In recent years, the emperor has made great construction projects and selected beauties. Do you think his inner treasury still has How much?"

Fan Zijin is naturally sensitive to numbers. Although he doesn't know the inside story of the emperor's internal library, he must have been in Lin'an for only more than ten years. What's more, his father was an official of the Ministry of Household before, so he could always get some information, and after a comprehensive speculation, he said: "Part of the food money for the relief went into the emperor's inner treasury, but he found a way to take the money from the Ministry of Household and transferred it to the inner side. Ku, he is greedy himself, so naturally it is not good to take care of the courtiers below, otherwise they would not dare to be so blatant in the vicinity of Lin'an Mansion.

   Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide, as if a stone was blocked in his heart. Is this his country? Will he also be loyal to such an emperor and such a court in the future?

   Fan Zijin saw that his eyes were red, he sighed slightly, and patted his shoulder without speaking.

When he deduced this matter, he was also very sad and confused. For a moment, he felt that studying was useless, because even if he entered the imperial examination, he would be loyal to such an emperor and such a court. thing.

   But seeing his father oppressing his mother so much, making his mother and him angry, and seeing his uncle bullying Haoran so much, his heart was always on fire, and he couldn't hold his breath.

Both my father and my uncle are people who are weak when the enemy is strong, especially my uncle. It's not that Fan Zijin looks down on him, but in his opinion, my uncle is a mercenary villain. If one day he holds more power than him Big, then he will definitely submit to him, then he will give Haoran a head start and see how he bullies Haoran.

   With such a goal in mind, Fan Zijin, although he hated it, was determined to study hard.

   But now that he has run away from home, it seems that he is very far away from the imperial examination and officialdom. Fan Zijin no longer comforts himself blindly, but begins to face the problems of the empire.

  Fan Zijin looked at the refugees passing by in the street outside, and said to Qi Haoran: "If the court does not resettle these refugees, I'm afraid it will cause a catastrophe."

   He lowered his voice and said, "War disaster!"

   Qi Haoran was immediately worried.

Fan Zijin knocked on his head and got up and said, "Okay, no matter what happens in the future, let's take care of ourselves first. After riding a horse for more than a day, my bones are about to fall apart, so let's go buy two Put on your clothes, come back and take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep."

  Qi Haoran nodded thoughtfully, followed Fan Zijin to the ready-to-wear shop to choose two sets of clothes for a change of clothes. They didn't bring anything when they came out.

  The clothes need to be bought new, and the shoes and socks need to be changed. The two teenagers who visited the clothing store for the first time said they were exhausted.

   It was past noon when the two finally bought everything and went back to the inn. They called Xiao Er and asked him to prepare two buckets of hot water. They wanted to take a bath.

  Xiao Er widened his eyes to look at the two of them, then turned his head to look at the bright sun outside, and asked in surprise, "Now?"

   Qi Haoran nodded solemnly, "It's now."

  Little Er twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You two young masters, now you sleep at noon, what should you do if you can't sleep at night?"

  The two teenagers said that this kind of thing would not happen, Fan Zijin said solemnly: "Master, I can sleep for three days now, do you believe it?"

  Little Er suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and responded: "The two wait, it's not too busy now, two buckets of hot water will be delivered immediately."

  Fan Zijin nodded with satisfaction, took out a dime of silver from Qi Haoran's arms and threw it to him, saying, "The reward for you."

  Xiao Er was overjoyed and said again and again: "Wait, hot water will be delivered to you two immediately."

  The two teenagers took a shower and immediately fell on the bed. Fan Zijin kicked Qi Haoran and said, "I'm sleeping, please wake up and don't ask anyone to tie us or take our money away."

  Qi Haoran tucked the oil paper bag wrapped with the banknote under the pillow, turned over sleepily and said, "Don't worry, with me here, who would dare to be a thief?"

Fan Zijin slept peacefully, and Qi Haoran started snoring shortly after. The two of them were hungry and tired last night, and they were in the wild, so they couldn't sleep well at all. Now that they arrived at the warm inn, they naturally slept open. .

   When they slept darkly, the people sent by Xia Tong and Fan Siwen to look for them rushed in front of them and went north all the way, and successfully missed the two teenagers.
