Chapter 1387: Do you think this is right? (Part 2) [Please give me a monthly ticket]
"Run errands for others."
Wu Xian observed the decorations in the courtyard without hesitation.
At first glance, it looks very simple, and every inch of land is valuable when you look closely.
From outside the house to inside the house, from the beams to the tea table, all the stone and wood used are precious. They are not deliberately carved and polished, and the whole remains the original simplicity. Wu Xian secretly scolded this old guy for being very good at enjoying it and didn''t know where the money came from.
Can he hide this change in his expression than Wei Lou?
"I am the elder of the Eternal Life Sect after all, and I still have this family background. Even if it is not enough, can Chen Youli treat me harshly?" Wei Lou has a clear understanding of the destructive power and value of himself and his eldest nephew. Even if he is still a prisoner in the labor reform stage, Chen Tang has to ask him to be at peace and not to make trouble everywhere, which will make him have difficulties in life?
"Your retirement life is quite comfortable."
"I have to ask your lord."
Local officials come to visit and condolences during the four seasons and eight festivals.
Either the county magistrate or the county magistrate, he is very diligent and enthusiastic every time he comes here. He not only brings rice, flour, grain, oil, cloth, silver and money, but also cleans up his house. Before leaving, he can make a table of good wine and good dishes. If you should say it or not, isn’t this more filial and considerate than your biological children?
At the beginning, Wei Lou looked down on this kind of flattery.
However, it cannot withstand the misunderstandings of neighbors and neighbors.
The common people all thought that these officials were descendants of Wei Lou’s uncle and nephew.
Who wouldn’t envy them when they became high-ranking officials and still serve their elders so hard? Maybe they wanted to use Wei Lou’s connections to get to Mr. Guan. They were very enthusiastic about Wei Lou’s uncle and nephew—such as “Your son/daughter is more promising, more filial, more considerate and considerate, unlike my family’s **”—and to point to others, which elderly person doesn’t like flattery?
Happiness is a comparison.
Wei Lou saw through these common people''s thoughts. At first, he didn''t explain because he was too lazy to explain, and then he didn''t explain because he wanted to watch the fun. Now he doesn''t explain - more or less because the praise of these people can really make the elderly happy.
When he was in a good mood, he was happy to take care of the local officials who came to visit him all year round. These officials were all flattered. Most of them don’t know the identity of Uncle and Nephew Wei Lou, but they only know that these two are tricky people who are both tricky.
Uncle Wei Lou successfully appeased his uncle and nephew. Their assessment results in the Ministry of Personnel were also better, and it was also considered a two-way trip.
As long as it is a reasonable demand, all those who can make decisions will be met.
Fortunately, Weilou’s needs are not difficult.
It''s nothing more than which road is difficult to walk around, which family''s roof collapsed and no one repaired it, which old man and old lady who sell vegetables without children were snatched away by the unruly city tyrant, and which old man was blackmailed... As time goes by, the officials have also recalled it one by one.
Therefore, the local government offices regard "treating the elderly and respecting their parents" as the focus of publicity, encourage young and strong people to care for their parents, and at the same time conduct investigations in the public, registering the elderly one by one, focusing on taking care of the elderly who are still unattended.
In addition, many benefits are provided.
The elderly usually prepare shrines and longevity materials in advance, and the government has also made the poor elderly. If the old man dies at home, the government will bury the corpse and the cemetery will be unified. Every year during the Qingming Festival, the government will arrange for unified incense burning.
In other words, the government will provide them with the support of their life after death.
There is no need to worry about not having any incense to eat.
As soon as the news came out, the old men shouted at Master Qingtian.
I wish I could jointly create an umbrella for my parents!
Over time, these old men gradually discovered that all this was related to Uncle Wei Lou and Nephew. They were grateful to the uncle and nephew. If they were happy, they would not have money to smash them, giving them enough emotional value.
When it''s okay, a group of old men and women gather nearby to bask in the sun, play sweaters and play chess, and chat with family matters. No matter what the topic starts, they can end with "Old Man Wei''s children are filial and have a good life."
Wei Lou used literary energy to heat the tea and stretched out his hand.
"Where is my letter?"
I really don’t have the strength to see.
Wei Lou didn''t ask Wu Xian to sit down, he could only take the initiative.
Remove the hot paint and get the letter paper.
Wei Lou initially thought that the letter was written to him by his nephew Wei Cheng. He knew it was not, it was from Shen Jun when he saw the handwriting.
For so many years, he had almost no contact with Chen Tang, and he had to let his nephew Wei Cheng convey anything on his behalf - he still had a little bit of a problem with her. It’s not that Wei Lou doesn’t appreciate Chen Tang, but that he admits that appreciating Chen Tang will make him ashamed.
Today, I took the initiative to write letters. Could it be that the situation has worsened?
Chen Youli had to put down her figure and beg for herself?
This idea was instantly denied by him.
The place where he lived in seclusion was originally from Gaoguo. From a geographical point of view, it is not the hinterland of Kangguo''s vigorous economic development in recent years, and is closer to the border counties. When there is any disturbance outside, the people will be greatly affected. During this period, Weilou went to the market to purchase, and the prices of daily necessities have almost no fluctuations.
After reading the ten lines at a glance, Wei Lou''s face was low and could be seen with his naked eyes.
"What the letter said above is true?"
Wu Xian told the truth: "I haven''t read the letter."
God knows what is said in the letter.
Wei Lou endured the urge to scold the "reckless man".
He is a literary scholar, and he cannot be demanding that these brave warriors have their brains: "Some Chinese communities secretly implement the evil magic of immortality."
Wu Xian nodded like pounding garlic: "It''s true."
He also added an annoying sentence: "However, what I know was also told by Mr. Shen, and asking me is not very meaningful."
If you ask him, he will definitely be able to say it is true.
Wei Lou: “…”
Wu Xian whispered: "Can human beings really live forever?"
Wei Lou sneered and said, "What daydream are you doing?"
Not to mention not, even if there is really, he will kill the other party even if he tries his life! Some people in the Central Society have hidden deep. They have been shopping for Chen Youli before and ignored these demons and ghosts: "Qin Shaoyou is also a complete waste. His brain is against his descendants, right? These demons and ghosts are just under his nose. He is shopping for the gentle land and deserves to be deceived to death!"
"Qin Shaoyou?"
"A dead idiot who was designed to [revel in the air]."
Wei Lou felt that it was a good thing for the first time that the other party died early. If he really wanted to live until now, wouldn’t he be angry to death? Qin Shaoyou has been suppressed by the central continent for many years, and his body cannot leave, and his incarnation can always run around. After so many years, I haven’t found any broken things about the branch?
Are you just a handsome man and beautiful woman who enjoys the tribute from Qiguo?
Wu Xian: “…”
Wei Lou kneaded the letter paper into a ball with one hand and threw it into the brazier.
Wu Xian carefully tempted: "What do you mean by sir?"
Wei Lou said happily: "I have settled this matter."
It’s not because of Chen Youli, but because of the crazy behavior of some Chinese society, the group of people, touched his bottom line. Even the first lord cannot forgive those who touched his bottom line, let alone these demons and monsters. Because of his targeting Chen Tang, he would naturally be with the idiots in the middle for the same reason.
But—??????????????????????????????????????????
Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "This is natural."
He thought he would be troubled by Wei Lou, so he didn''t even finish writing the draft. Wei Lou took the initiative to speak out, which was exactly what he wanted and was relieved. Wu Xian thought that the "wire wrapping" in Wei Lou''s mouth was something big, but he expected that he just brought a box of gold and silver to the local government office. The officials who received the news were scared out of cold sweat.
Wei Lou was too lazy to pay attention to the other party’s psychological activities.
He threw the box of gold and silver.
"I will go out tomorrow. These are for the local young people. Don''t treat them badly. How much things are there and how much they spend, I will see a book that is not bad when I come back. If you dare to be greedy for a little, Chen Youli will not be able to protect your head!" He said this, leaving behind a confused and trembling official.
The official is curious: "The younger generation? The descendant of Mr. Wei?"
The official glanced at his unwise subordinate.
Uncle and nephew Wei Lou have lived in the local area for many years, and no descendants have ever appeared in his family? The "younger" mentioned by the other party naturally refers to the group of old men and women who play well with him. The old man and the old lady are the treasures in their palms. Yes, how can there be an atmosphere group that is not likable?
In fact, Wei Lou''s move was purely redundant.
He did not remind him, and officials did not dare to slackew.
The official was even more confused and said, "Old Wei looked much younger than those old people, why did he call them ''younger''?"
The oldest old men and women is over 80 years old.
Mr. Wei is no more than a hundred years old?
"Lister more, read more, ask less, do your errands."
The officials were bored and went to work hard in shame.
Although Wei Lou is an older literati, he is more decisive than a young general. Arrange everything, meet with Wu Xian at the agreed time, and use his words and actions all the way, almost without touching the ground. The return time was shorter than that of Wu Xian.
Wei Lou was very dissatisfied with Wu Xian''s panting look and said harshly: "Chen Youli used pig farming methods to raise you over the years?"
Pigs are more capable than Wu Xian.
Wu Xian: “…”
Although he has neglected martial arts over the years, he is indeed not as brave as he was when he was young, but he is not as unbearable as Wei Lou said, right? Why is the old guy so dirty when scolding people? I have a lot of resentment in my heart and dare not express it.
Wei Lou sneered, everything was indifferent.
After entering the city, Wu Xian clearly felt that the atmosphere in the city was different from when he set out. Pedestrians on the street were in a hurry and soldiers looked alert. He rode his horse straight to the palace. Wei Lou looked up at the sky in that direction and said lightly, "Mr. Shen is not here."
The breath of Chen Tang remains in the city.
But it is certain that the person has left.
Sure enough, the palace servants were gone and the building was empty, leaving only a few guards and guards. Not only the palace, but also the troops stationed outside the city have already set up camps and disappeared. Seeing this, Wu Xian just wanted to curse himself, and he didn''t remember to send someone to notify him?
This is wronged Chen Tang, she kept someone.
Wu Xian got the news from the other party, and then he realized the whole story - this matter started with Xun Ding leading his troops to pay the ransom and bringing back the prisoners. As we all know, the warring parties agreed to exchange the ransom prisoners, and the war was suspended during the exchange.
The war will continue to begin when the two sides complete the transaction.
Those who want a little bit of face will not take advantage of others'' danger.
Stay at the forefront of your life and meet again in the future. If you do things perfectly, maybe one day the boomerang will slap yourself in the face. The chaotic times last as long as this gentleman''s agreement lasts, and no one rashly becomes the first person to break the agreement.
But the "warrior" was born.
Xun Ding arrived one day in advance with his troops ransom.
On the enemy side, the enemy general was born with a vicious face, with a black cloth obliquely covered with his right eye and several interlaced brown scars on his left face, like several centipedes lying on his head, making people afraid to look at him for a long time. This person''s mount is a single-horned cow with a horned body, covered with thick and airtight armor. When moving, it looks like a small island, and its huge head brings a strong sense of oppression.
On the other hand, Xun Ding''s face became a little tender.
The enemy general has a very loud voice, and one person can achieve the effect of shaking the sky and the earth. He asked: [Why is a person with no hair on his mouth? 】
Xun Ding did not respond to the other party''s provocation. For some reasons, young officials in Kangguo did not have the habit of growing beards, and the upward and downward effect was effective. This trend also affected the people. There was another reason why Xun Ding did not grow a beard, and his daughter Adou didn''t like it.
A Dou likes beautiful colors.
The beard obviously does not meet her aesthetic standards.
Xun Ding winked at the deputy general, too lazy to give alms and extra eyes to the enemy general, but just blindly signaled the start of the transaction.
Rules in troubled times, one hand is given to others and the other hand is paid for ransom.
Food is more precious than money. Among the many conditions offered by the enemy, one is to exchange 70% of the ransom for food - this is also one of the main reasons why Luan Xin promised to have a premium of 30%. Seventy percent of the gold, silver, copper and iron circulated in Kangguo are produced in Wuzhou, Beizhou, Mozhou, and other places have poor output. The southwestern continent has just been confiscated, and the situation in the country still needs to be investigated and investigated.
The whole country is so poor that there is only food left.
The remaining 30% is supplemented with tea, salt and other substances.
These things can be collected in the short term by the Ministry of Revenue.
Xun Ding asked: [Where are our people? 】
The enemy general replied: [Don''t worry, most of them are alive. 】
A few died on the way to come.
Everyone is chasing through troubled times, so it should be understood.
Food is precious and there is not enough supply to your own troops. How can you take out extra preferential treatment for prisoners? It would be nice not to make the prisoners into human jelly to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, no matter which warlord fights, it will not end well if it becomes a prisoner. Before being redeemed, the prisoners had to face not only heavy physical labor, whipping and abuse that fell down anytime and anywhere, but also hunger caused by scarce daily necessities. Death from starvation, death from illness, death from exhaustion... death was silent.
Xun Ding ordered people to check the prisoners.
They were ragged, skinny, and their eyes were green because of hunger. In such a cold day, there are only strips of cloth that barely cover the key parts of the body, and there is not even a pair of straw sandals on your feet. They just walked like this, and countless blood blisters were ground into the soles of their feet.
You should know that the guards in several enclaves were not as good as those of Kang Guo’s direct soldiers, but they were not treated unfairly. They also had two winter clothes and thick and warm shoes and socks in a year, and they had no cuts in daily life.
These are in front of you—
Xun Ding was angry and could only endure it.
The enemy general ordered someone to send a message.
The people have finished checking, and it is time for them to check the ransom.
Each grain inspector has a sampler with one stick. Each bag of grain is inserted into one or two holes, and the food taken out is fine.
The salt block tea cakes are all of good quality.
[It''s OK, no problem. 】
The prisoners were slow to walk, and even if they were pushed away, they were not as fast as the baggage trucks pushed from the opposite side. The former is not yet halfway, and the latter is only one-quarter of the way. The enemy general pinched the time, looked at the opposite side, raised his hand with a sneer, and then fell down: [Done it all. 】
_(:3”∠)_
I went to have a hairstyle today, and my **** hurt even when I sat down.
The ugly hairstyle is the level of wanting to call the police. How dare you take me so much money?
