Chapter 285 Chapter 285: Poor and poor [seeking a monthly ticket]
Ha Yin's winter begins with the first snow.
The snow came earlier this year than in previous years. The north wind howled and swallowed faintly. Just listening to the sound gave the illusion of chills all over the body. Fortunately, the snow was not too heavy. But there is a chemistry exam question that says it well-it is not cold when it snows, it turns snow cold.
The warm clothes that the common people carry are limited.
There is plenty of food in the valley, but it is not suitable for winter. Therefore, knowing that it is not a good time, Shen Tang and Qishan discussed a few times, and then prepared to lead troops to enter Heyin ahead of schedule.
After nearly 20 days of secret raids, recruitment, and drills, plus the original troops, the force barely increased to 2,000, plus the 1,000 people that Zhao Feng assisted with friendship, the scale of 3,000 is not too shabby. can see.
Preliminary completion of expected indicators.
He Yin official way.
On this day, there was fine snow in the sky.
As noon approached, thousands of people appeared on the official road.
These people are a little strange.
The outermost circle of people is uniform, most of them are dressed in uniform or similar young and strong, there are occasional glints in the eyes, and there is a faint evil spirit in the eyebrows. Either riding or walking, wearing half-new cloth armor and holding various weapons.
Always be alert to possible unexpected accidents from the outside world.
The people in the middle circle are thin and haggard old and weak women and children, whose clothes have been mended several times.
The whole team is like slow wriggling insects, slowly moving forward on the official road. Except for the sound of footsteps and horseshoes, the whole team has only occasional whispers, and it is barely orderly. Perhaps it was about to arrive at the destination, seeing hope, the faces of this group of people gradually showed a little joy, and even the heavy and tired steps were three points brisk...
That's not the weirdest thing, though.
It was clear that there was a little bit of snow, but none of it fell on everyone's shoulders; it was clear that the cold north wind was blowing, but even the infants in the team couldn't feel the coldness... Those snow and wind were all seen by one layer. Unseen forces resist outside.
Not to mention the ice and snow destroying people, even the wind blowing on their bodies has traces of lazy warmth.
"Hey, the word spirit is really easy to use."
The front of the line.
Shen Tang took out a few caramel candies from the purse at his waist and threw them into the air. The motorbike under his crotch raised his neck and opened his mouth, and swallowed it.
She stuffed one into her mouth.
And generously shared it with Lin Feng and Tu Rong.
"Come, have a taste."
Chu Yao: "Eating too much can easily damage your teeth."
Goro feeds caramel to the two children when he has nothing to do. Which child can resist the temptation of sweets? Even if you wipe your teeth with tooth wood twice a day and rinse your mouth, it is easy to damage your teeth. Shen Tang didn't think that these two children kept their filial piety and were poor, so they should avoid eating this and that. It's okay to eat two more caramels to slow down their cravings.
Even if the teeth are broken—
Perhaps there are still words in the world that can cure toothache.
Everything is possible.
The focus of praying for good is not "bad teeth".
"The speech spirit is easy to use, but it is not used like this."
He found that any speech spirit would be "abnormal" in Shen Xiaolang-jun's hands. For example, now, he even proposed to let several Wenxin scribes take turns to use speech speech to maintain the temperature of the marching environment.
Although in order to alleviate the pressure on Wenxin scribes, the team has been tightened as much as possible to reduce the area, but the soldiers plus common people have a scale of over 6,000! No matter how it shrinks, it is quite impressive.
If it wasn't for Zhao Feng's "unbearable" seeing this, he took the initiative to suggest that the thousand people under his account have good ability to keep out the cold, which would be really embarrassing.
Shen Tang touched his nose.
I also feel guilty that I have "squeezed" too hard.
But she can't help it.
Firstly, she was poor and did not have the financial means to buy enough thick winter clothes; secondly, the old and weak women and children who followed them did not carry much warm clothes. If this method is not used to maintain the temperature, many people will be dragged to death just by marching in the snow.
Shen Tang spoke plausibly.
"It doesn't count whether it is a literary spirit or a brave speech spirit. As long as it can effectively solve troubles, it is a good speech spirit. Who stipulates that the "rinuanfenghe" cannot be used in this way?"
It's useless.
Such as "the warm rain, the clear wind, the first thaw, the willow eyes and plum cheeks, the heart of spring is already felt", "the late sun is beautiful, the spring breeze, flowers and plants are fragrant", these words are not impossible. It is very cost-effective to consume a little literary energy to save a lot of expenses on keeping out the cold.
Pray for goodness: "..."
He already knew Shen Tang's temper, and he was used to certain things, but Mr. Shen Xiaolang can always play tricks with his words.
Qi Shan knows that this is by no means the last time.
Hehe, his guess is right.
He Yin is poor, and Shen Tang has no one to use. We don't expect capable and capable scholars, warriors and warriors to work hard. Do we expect those common people who are suffering from hunger and poverty, and have not even realized the freedom of farming to work? Son?
Shen Tang had already figured out how to use Zhao Feng and the others in his stomach, but she didn't say anything, and neither did Gu Chi.
The area of Heyin is small.
It is said to be a county, but it is actually a little bigger than a county.
The government is located in a small place called "Fugu".
Shen Tang had already sent someone to inform Fugu with his seal. Just after entering Fugu's territory, Fugu's few officials had been waiting for a long time. Compared with Shen Tang and others' leisurely, these officials' hearts are beating up and down.
He Yin's news is blocked.
They don't know much about Shen Tang.
At first glance, several people were in trouble.
Looking at the several young scribes beside Shen Tang, he murmured in his heart, which of them is the new county guard Shen Youli?
Each temperament has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it seems that they all look alike.
Until Shen Tang came out and revealed his identity.
Several people:"…"
Shen Tang didn't know how many people were thinking, and said: "Don't be too polite, first find a place to settle these people under my tent."
She looked at the starched and washed white official uniforms of several people, and the clothes were patched with similar colors, and she also murmured in her heart - Heyin is a poor country, the place is poor and small, the wicked are rich and there are many, but the officials are so poor, right? Not too scientific?
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.
Shen Tang looked distressed when he saw them.
asked: "What's the problem?"
One person's heart was crossed, and he said: "Mr. Shen doesn't know something. Fugu's treasury is empty. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to settle so much."
Shen Tang said: "I brought food and grass."
I thought it was a big deal.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Fu Gu is even poorer than what they said, not to mention feeding thousands of people, even hundreds of people are enough.
On the road, Gu Chi and Shen Tang whispered.
smiled and asked: "Master, do you know how poor Fu Gu is?"
Shen Tang rolled her eyes inwardly. There were a bunch of dilapidated houses on the street, and there were not many people. The average person had more than a dozen broken patches. She was somewhat prepared to keep out the cold by trembling and faith... how poor she was. Unexpectedly, Gu Chi said, "It's more than that."
oh?
More than that?
Isn't that poor enough?
Shen Tang has done some homework, she learned a lot about the situation under He Yin's rule from Bai Su, especially Fugu, the government office. But when Gu Chi said this, she felt a drum in her heart.
But Gu Chi looked determined, with a teasing smile on his brows: "These officials will get sick in a few days."
The so-called "misplacement" refers to asking for leave due to illness.
Of course, this is a euphemism for resignation.
Shen Tang: "???"
Gu Chi sighed: "Three of them haven't received any monthly salary for thirteen months..."
The rest are also miserable.
The family is so poor that they can't get rid of the pot.
Still staying in the post depends on a little sense of responsibility.
The treasury is so poor that even mice don't want to patronize it.
These officials intend to make insinuations to see if Shen Tang is willing to help pay off the arrears of monthly salary out of his own pocket. As for "transferring disease", it is because they are too poor and want to find other means of making a living.
In addition, there are quite a few people brought by Shen Tang, and someone should take over the work of their "transferred disease", and their ideas are more determined.
Shen Tang: "..."
This is too miserable...
But wait until she sees where she's going to move in.
She realized that she had thought earlier.
"Ahem, cough—how long has it been since this has been cleaned?" Shen Tang wiped a handful of dust casually, good guy, it's a thick layer.
Look up and look at the beams—
"Is this a dangerous building?"
Shen Tang is poor, and his family is poor.
When these two meet together, they are poorer and poorer.
She suspected that if she kicked the pillar, the whole house would collapse and bury them alive. Shen Tang felt that the most urgent task was not to think about how to solve the survival crisis, but to find some people and some wood to strengthen the dilapidated house.
Otherwise, she would not sleep well at night.
The officials looked at it, and their hearts were beating drums.
I was afraid that Shen Tang would be unhappy because of this.
"It's really... poor and poor..." Shen Tang covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve to breathe, and then he felt a little better, then turned his head and asked a few officials who followed, "Do you usually handle the government affairs of the government? Do you have a file? Where is the treasury key?"
If it was a rich place, Shen Tang, a new official, would "seize power" as soon as he came up. The original team would be somewhat unhappy and would not cooperate in action, but Heyin is really too poor. Trying to escape.
When Shen Tang mentioned this, they readily handed it over.
Then-
Gu Chi heard Shen Tang covering his head and screaming inwardly.
【Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck—】
He subconsciously raised his hands to cover his ears.
However, it is useless.
Gu Chi said: "Master!"
Shen Tang's color is about to fade.
Listlessly said: "Leave me alone."
She just wants to be quiet now.
Good guy, several rooms are full of unfinished government affairs, and various bamboo slips are almost piled up to the beams, and there is almost no room for anyone to set foot. For a moment, she didn't know whether to rejoice that the beams collapsed and not be able to hold her down, or lament her foreseeable social life...
She'd better be a bandit.
Hold yourself tight.
Several officials looked at Shen Tang's face that turned green and pale, and felt more and more nervous. They were afraid that Shen Tang would get into trouble because of this, and would throw a hat of "dereliction of duty" in order to establish their prestige. They didn't want to, but the law and order in Heyin was extremely chaotic, and various things happened every day, and the manpower in the office was getting smaller and smaller, and they were unable to solve it even if they wanted to.
can only be piled up day by day.
Then-
The more piles, the more piles.
At present, these are still the result of the severe winter of the predecessor, and there is no charcoal fire to burn, so I secretly took some of them as firewood to keep warm, otherwise there will only be more. Shen Tang just sighed, and that sigh was heavy and sad, with heart-rending complexity.
"Let's go to the treasury again."
She never gives up.
Perhaps it is an exaggeration to say that none of the mice visit.
However, when she saw the dusty treasury, the air was filled with a rotten smell that had not been seen for a long time, and she was completely desperate.
this-
It's a complete mess.
Shen Tang put his hand on his forehead.
She felt that she had thought too much before, and there was no need to go to Heyin to collect bandits first, because poverty is the greatest survival crisis. He Yin who is so poor, as the governor of He Yin, will not be feared by those aristocratic families at all.
"Shen Jun, the account book has been moved."
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang, several baskets.
Shen Tang knew that the deficit was an unimaginable number without looking at it, but she still didn't give up and took a look—she endured a headache looking at the complicated records she was not used to, and quickly and roughly calculated in her mind—then, her heart became even more dead.
The pacemaker doesn't work when it comes.
Looking at Shen Xiaolang who looked ashamed, he prayed for relief: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, even though you are a little poor..."
Shen Tang corrected his wording.
"Not 'poorer'."
Not only poor, but also in debt.
Pray for goodness: "—But think about the good, it is more suitable for us to display it just because we are poor and have no way out."
The only advantage of a place that is so poor is that there are fewer people who get in the way and more people are brought in by itself. It would be troublesome if you took over a county with old people pointing fingers.
Shen Tang could only comfort himself in this way.
Anyway, it's not her part to enjoy the blessing.
Led by several officials, Shen Tang walked around the small Fugu City. While walking around, he silently recorded what needed to be repaired, and where it needed to be demolished and rebuilt. After a while, a general brand-new Fugu City emerged in my mind.
Fugu city wall is not high, part of the wall has collapsed and peeled off, and the gaps are covered with dead vines and moss. There were only a few gray-haired old soldiers standing guard at the city gate. The wind was very cold, and the clothes on their bodies could not keep out the cold, so they could only hide behind the dilapidated gate and stomp their feet to keep warm.
Seeing Shen Tang and his party, his face turned blue with fright.
Looking at him, Shen Tang didn't speak harshly as he imagined, but waved his hand to signal him to do his own thing. Seeing this, the official believed that Shen Tang was a good-tempered person, but felt that she was too young.
Ha Yoon's problem is not just poor.
If it is just poor, although these officials are mediocre, they dare not say that they are well-off, but they will never be so poor. After all, the big guys are also born in poverty, and understand the suffering of the common people. It can't bring happiness to the common people, but it can't do evil either.
"Shen Jun, be careful where you step."
The steps of the city wall are of different heights.
In some places the masonry is still loose.
Step on it with one foot, and it is very easy to lose the center of gravity.
Shen Tang climbed to the highest point easily as if he was walking on the ground, and looked at the entire Fugu City, which exuded a sense of poverty, and soon noticed that the buildings in the city were a bit strange.
If Fugu City is centered on the central axis, it is divided into nine blocks in a criss-cross pattern. The building complex in the northeast area is close to the core position, with neat and thick tile eaves and exquisite door layout.
The promenade is winding and winding, with rockery and flowing water.
Low-key reveals a little luxury.
Besides this, it is messy.
are clearly two completely different worlds.
Shen Tang had a guess in his heart, and still stretched out his finger.
"Where is that?"
The expressions of several officials changed drastically, and they faltered.
Shen Tang said: "There is nothing that cannot be said."
They thought that sooner or later Shen Tang would know everything about Fugu City, and Shen Jun would know it even if he didn't tell him.
They all confessed.
However, they don't want to offend local snakes.
Fear of retaliation.
One by one to put it mildly.
Just say that those few households are rich households in Fugu City.
Alas, I forgot the 48-hour limit for ordering girls...
Add more will stay until the end of the Saturday limit.
PS: In addition, it’s the end of the month. Let’s ask for the monthly pass in everyone’s hand. Now the monthly pass is 5286. Let’s make this month’s monthly pass 6666. Let’s give 2022 a good start! Hey hey.
