　　 "Does Huaibei also eat rice?"

　　 Zhao Jiu walked out of a thatched adobe house, holding a rice urn in his hand, followed by a nervous old man, but made an empiricist error when he spoke. "I think the surrounding area is obviously full of wheat piles, bean stalks, and very few rice stalks. But why do you see less beans and less noodles than rice?"

　　 "Give it back...receive the king."

　　 The old man was trembling and nervous, and Li Zheng, who had clearly seen the identity of the king, would simply lie on the ground and push his ass, helplessly, the know-it-all Yang Yizhong and Yang Yihou could only get off the court himself. "The north of the Yellow River is transported by the river. Huainan rice and cloth are all transported to Tokyo. Therefore, most of the rice to the north of the Yellow River can be eaten. In addition, wheat is poorly stored, and beans are precious, so Huaibei people are early First eat the wotou made of noodles, and then sell the soybean material. When grain storage is needed, corn is used for remote storage and rice is used for near storage."

　　 Zhao Jiu suddenly realized that combined with the previous data of the 120 million population of the Song Dynasty, he still did not understand that this is the division of labor after the population has reached a certain level, and then the commodity economy has developed!

According to Yang Yizhong’s statement, it is obvious that due to the large yield of rice in Huainan, it is naturally circulated and replenished to the Huaibei area. Soybeans are more like cash crops at this time and are used to exchange money; corn, that is, Millet, regardless of its output, value, or even taste, is actually far inferior to rice, white noodles, and soybeans, but because of its high storage durability, it has maintained a certain value for a long time.

　　 "Is there millet in the old man's house?" At this point, Zhao Jiu turned his head and faced the old man directly.

　　 "No, no!" This old man was already two-pointed old and confused. After seeing the ‘king’ guarded by dozens of cavalry, he was even more horrified, so that he couldn’t even speak the words properly.

　　 Fortunately, here is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the accent is still local to Zhao Jiu, so the communication is still reluctant.

　　 "Prepare some!" Zhao Jiu sighed slightly when he saw it, and then returned the rice urn in his hand.

　　 "Thanks, thank you, King." The old man hurried to hug him in shock, not knowing if he noticed the other party's reminder.

　　 Zhao Jiu returned to the Mi-urn without saying much, and went straight on the horse, ignoring Li Zheng, who had already been trembling and struggling, and slowly walked out of the second visiting village under the guard of the red-hearted knights.

　　 To tell the truth, Zhao Jiu's mood at this time is very complicated.

First of all, I visited two villages next to each other today, and the scenes in both were not as bad as he had imagined...According to his sense of superiority as a modern man, and his brain supplement to the low productivity and severe class contradictions in ancient times. , Plus the so-called cruel rural environment in the war years that we know from those web articles.

　　 Therefore, the village here should be ‘blank bones in the wild, no **** crowing in thousands of miles’, plus ‘the old man walks over the wall, the old woman goes out to watch’.

　　 However, reality is half and half.

There are indeed no **** crows in thousands of miles, but it is true that there are no bones exposed in the wild; old women do have them when they go out to watch, but the old man really has not walked over the wall, and also went out together to watch...Among them, there are no **** crows, only the old man, The old woman went out to see it, obviously because the place was too close to the military camp where they were walking, and the people all left in order to avoid possible military disasters.

But at the same time, the roads in the village are tidy, and although the thatched mud houses with local characteristics are particularly dilapidated, they imply the complete bankruptcy and escape of the host’s family. Generally speaking, the colors of the old and the new are different and most of the houses are in the courtyard. The anger that can't be concealed still shows that the two villages are still healthy.

　　 In addition, the coarse cloth clothes of the old and the weak in the left-behind village are also clean. Just now, they are wearing a neatly dyed silk cloth with dark patterns.

All in all, there is low productivity, because the increase in internal oppression caused by the Northern War also exists. The gap between the rich and the poor is even more obvious. The people at the bottom have seen their lives by counting the rice in the urn... but the war has not spread over the whole day. , This is still a normal country after all.

Let’s also say that Zhao Jiu didn’t go out to see it before in Mingdao Palace, but it may be that it is more northerly, and the surrounding area is mostly Mingdao Palace’s "Imperial Village". He also rode horses in the early morning on several trips. Turn back in a hurry. Therefore, it is difficult for this Zhao official's family to have access to the real basic-level features. So much so that in his heart, the Daoist Emperor Taishang emperor ruled the Great Song Dynasty for decades, as the scene after Wanli's death, that is, the last days that can seem to be fooled, but in fact can be broken with a single poke.

But now it seems that this place can be regarded as the Jiajing period at most. The so-called Jiajing Jiajing house is clean. Because of the exploitation of the self-righteous Taoist emperor and the corruption of the bureaucrats, it is good for the people to struggle on the verge of bankruptcy, but the whole society is out of control and bankruptcy is hopeless. It seems that there is still a little distance.

　　 Can you say that, doesn't it appear that the Taoist Emperor Taishang is more capable of doing it? There is also a Jing in Jiajing's name, and he can do it, but they haven't made a Jing Kang shame? !

　　 Of course, considering the poor historical level of this official, and the rough imagination of Da Erhua, plus that he has not passed through Jiajing and Wanli, it can't be said to be wishful thinking!

　　 "The official family is really the kindness of the holy emperor."

　　 Looking at Zhao Jiu while thinking wildly, he unconsciously walked into the boundary ditch, Yang Yizhong finally couldn't help but speak again. "Knowing that there are thieves ahead, Yingshui and Huaishui will be cut off during the fighting in winter, and the ice will be cut off in winter. If it is inconvenient, it will be difficult to transport in winter, so I reminded the old man to reserve some corn."

"The old man may not listen, and the world wars have sprung up, and Hebei and Hedong have basically fallen. You said that Dasong has a population of 10 million and 20 million. At this time, more than 10 or 20 million are suffering from military disasters? In the future, there will be more military disasters. Thirty or forty million?" Zhao Jiu returned to his senses immediately, but he said without looking back. "So as an emperor, doing this kind of goodness is like a joke..."

　　 "No way!" Yang Yizhong hurriedly corrected it. "It is said that a gentleman can't bear to eat his flesh when he hears his voice, and he can't bear to see his death when he sees his life. The officials investigate the people's feelings and know the people's sufferings. Although they are just casual and kind words, it is the gentleman's benevolence, and the gentleman is kind. Where is the difference between the emperor and ordinary people?"

　　 Liu Yan was by the side. He wanted to keep up with the flattery, but he couldn't turn around for a while. He could only bite the bullet and add: "The officials and the ministers think so too."

Zhao Jiu heard the words in front. He couldn't help but laugh, and tears of laughter came out. Then he turned his head and squinted at the two of them: "Pingfu (Liu Yan) can't say it, don't say it, Zhengfu (Yang Yi) (Middle) I would say that I might as well say more... Zhengfu, are you worried that if I really go to the Jiegou market, will the Li Xianggong reprimand and even condemn you? That’s why I gave a tactful reminder and wandered around the countryside. That's all, don't really go into the ditch, because as an official, it is meaningless for me to do this kind of thing, so it's not as useful as playing a puppet."

　　The majestic Yang Yizhong rarely gave a dry smile, did not refute it, but took another shot immediately, and immediately returned to his normal majestic posture:

"Officials! Ministers are not only afraid of the prime minister, but also worried about the safety of the official...In the market, it is not possible to run horses, it is not easy to show off, not to mention the turmoil of the current situation, if there are really bold people, there will be elbows and arms. It’s not enough to say that officials are dressed up in a round-necked red robe, pretending to be a prince, and coaxing the savages. When they arrive in the market town, they will inevitably startle the caring people. When their identities are revealed, there will be too many people, good and bad, and there will be problems. It's impossible to see anything at home."

　　 The Zhao official's house slowly nodded, serious: "I understand, Zhengfu is persuading me to take off this dress and go again!"

　　 Yang Yizhong couldn't laugh or cry immediately.

At the same time, Liu Yan and Liu Pingfu, who couldn't keep up and couldn't put their mouths in the mouth, also looked at the two people in front of them with weird faces...In other words, Zhao Guan's family is an official family, and he has both civil and military skills. It's an official, so I can't think about it. But in the past few months, Liu Yan has been attending the emperor for a long time, but Liu Yan discovered that Yang Yizhong, who he had always thought to be a majestic figure, was truly remarkable.

Think of this Yang as a general for six generations. He is considered a general from the world, with a majestic appearance, a tall stature, a rigorous management of the army, and a great archer. At first glance, he is really a figure like a famous general in ancient times, but how did he learn this? What about the skill of a civil official? And he was a Jinshi (even a Jinshi from Liao Kingdom), but he didn't understand this at all, so that the official said that he was afraid that Liu Pingfu would not listen well.

And just as Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan were thinking about each other, after Zhao Guanjia over there said a cold joke, watching the two people beside and behind them were thinking about it for a while, they suddenly seized the opportunity to speed up, and ran out in an instant. A hundred steps away, they headed straight to the direction of Jiegou... Yang and Liu were startled for a moment, and then yelled secretly, so they both speeded up and tried to keep up.

Besides, the Zhengshitang meeting in the Buddhist hall only ended in the afternoon. When I came out, it was already in the afternoon. I saw two villages and it was almost evening at this time, so Yang Yizhong's real thoughts were to keep saying' It sounds good' to hold the Zhao official's house and let this matter go away.

　　 However, after getting along for a long time, although Zhao Guan's family may not understand Yang Yizhong's Huahuachangzi, they are also alert. Moreover, as an official, he can open the table and willful at any time...Of course, it is also possible that Li Xianggong was forced to become a Duck Dang and tired...So suddenly, he was playing tricks.

Going back to the front, not to mention that Liu Yan couldn't figure out why the official family who grew up in Bianliang, the most prosperous place in the world, wanted to go to play in such a wild town so much; also did not mention the Yangyi Center Zhongzheng. I am afraid that the officials are tired of his welcoming... I just say that this Zhao official family has always been good at horseback riding, and it can also be the first to ride on the plains. But because of their own armor, the two men and the cavalry behind them were unable to catch up with the good horses under the crotch of the official. Instead, they pulled farther and farther, so that when they arrived, they didn't dare to think about it, they just chased them desperately. Up.

It was not until sunset that the two of Yang and Liu led dozens of horses to catch up with Zhao official’s house, but they were shocked to find that this official had not entered the market town, but stationed on the Yingshui River embankment on the southwest side of the market town. Then, condescendingly, looked at the small town of Jiegou in awe.

　　 Yang and Liu did not dare to disturb the officials, so they immediately followed and looked around together.

Besides, I saw this small town of Linhe in the Central Plains. There is a ferry connecting Yingshui in front, and a polder built with wooden fences. The radius is no more than a few hundred steps, and there are no more than dozens of serious large houses. There are also shacks built by vegetation. The open-air market is quite simple.

Only at this time, the journey stopped a few miles away. In the middle villages, young men and women all came here to take refuge, and some were walking in officials’ families and servants, selling gold beads and other things here, and purchasing cloth, food and other scarce things. , So it does appear to be more crowded and lively.

At this time, the setting sun was gradually lowering, and the market was about to be closed when I watched. Some of the daring villagers dressed up in short jackets remembered their homes. They came out in groups, talking about what they saw today, and proceeded to the village carefully. ; However, some merchants and people repeatedly called for the fishermen at the ferry port and the men to ask for help to cross the river to the west, as if they were coming from the opposite bank of Yingshui, and at this time they had to return to their homes on the other bank.

After I turned my head, I saw that the last group of people who came out of the Weizi was obviously the person in charge of the purchase. I saw a few small servants yelling five and six, asking Lifu to drive the cart out, actually following the river embankment. I came here, and when I came closer, I could see clearly through the faint light of the setting sun, but I was going to send several carts of winter vegetables to the place.

　　 Zhao Jiu stood for a long time, watching the distance and distance of the team, when the leader found something wrong when he approached him, he knelt down to greet him, UU reading www.uukanshu.com couldn’t help smiling and asking:

　　 "Daguan Zhang, let me ask you, what kind of dishes are you buying? Can you give me money?"

"Returning to the officials, Li Xianggong is very serious and dare not give the money, but this place is too poor and wild, except for winter vegetables, there is no time!" The servant surnamed Zhang heard the official calling him an official, the soul of joy It's going to disperse, quickly get up and show your work. "However, the minister did not dare to let the official family and Pan Niangzi be wronged. After searching for a long time, he first searched for some local fish, and then he found a family that sells **** beans in Shunhe! The minister asked clearly that this is Tokyo. The ones who escaped from the city have authentic taste. The official family and Lady Pan have a good time tonight!"

　　 Zhao Jiu didn't know what Jiang Yan was, but he laughed and urged him to return to the temple where he was.

　　 However, when he watched the team disappear under the fading early winter setting sun, the next moment, the setting sun completely set, but in the twilight, the Zhao official suddenly stopped laughing, and then became sad.

Liu Yan and Yang Yizhong, who have been paying attention to officials, noticed this almost at the same time. However, just as Liu Pingfu became more and more at a loss, Yang Zhengfu, who was good at observing words, and who had become more familiar with the official, suddenly awakened in their hearts. The family is still worried that the Jinren will make the main effort to chase them, and once the Jinren goes south to the Central Plains, this is not perfect and the situation of Huafu will no longer exist.

how to say? Yang Yizhong remembered his personal experience when he was fleeing in Hebei, and when he thought of the destruction of his family, he couldn't help but feel sad... It can only be said that from the perspective of Yang Yizhong, who was thinking about the ninth revolution, after the official fell into the well, he was really taken away by some monster. Give up, it can be regarded as a good demon of a gentleman's benevolence.
