Chapter 78: A short-lived big pot meal!
It was already bright when Yun Zhao returned home.
On cold days, there are still people carrying children in baskets to Yun's.
After asking, I found out that for things like selling children, it is better to go to the Yun family. The family with the best offer in Lantian County is the Yun family.
The price of selling a child in Xi'an Fucheng is only 30 pounds of millet.
Pretty girls and boys are sold more expensively, and the stupid ones are given away for free and no one wants them.
Seeing those people walking staggeringly carrying their burdens, Yun Zhao's heart felt like a knife!
He didn't even know where this emotion came from, he just felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to shout.
Mr. Xu stood under the large locust tree with all its leaves at the entrance of the village, as cold as a dry locust tree branch.
"Give these children to me without any contract of betrayal!"
Hearing what his husband said, Yun Zhao smiled, pointed at Qian Shao Shao and said: "I really want to make an appointment with him. He refused to sell himself."
Xu Yuanshou waved his broad sleeves and said: "The other children also refused."
Yun Zhao said with a wretched smile: "I agree. ”
Xu Yuanshou’s stern face gradually thawed, and he leaned over and pressed Yun Zhao’s shoulder: “If you can’t achieve great things, it’s God’s fault!”
Yun Zhao looked at Xiang. Qing Xiang Qing Tian said: "I just hope that the gods can give me a spring rain after the thaw, so that I can plant all the seeds into the ground."
Xu Yuanshou smiled and said: "General There will be a way."
Looking in the direction of Xu Yuanshou's finger, Yun Zhao saw a scene that made his heart break.
I saw people everywhere in the fields, and the rivers and ditches were also full of people. People in the rivers and ditches were using hoes to shave ice, and the shaved ice would be put into baskets and carried far away. In the farmland.
“The method these people came up with on their own...they prepared to cover the fields with ice. Even if there is no rain in the spring, there will be enough water in the fields to complete the planting.
Now I am worried that the weather will heat up too quickly and the ice will melt too early..."
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "It is true that I am worried about the cold weather!"
Mr. Xu nodded and said: "The famine is not terrible. What is terrible is that people bow their heads in front of the famine.
The streams flowing out of the mountains were dammed by farmers and formed into ponds. As long as There are enough ponds to irrigate the fields.
This family has not seen this kind of scene for a long time. Yun Zhao, you see clearly, this is the power of people.
Officials in other places will ask for rain and food from the court at this time, thinking that they have fulfilled their duties. However, they do not know that praying to the sky for rain or asking for food from the emperor will not give the people a way to survive.
< p>At this moment, I hope you will temporarily forget your grand ambition and focus on saving these people first.I believe that you have saved these people.After you become a person, you will get twice the result with half the effort if you pursue your grand ambition and hegemony. "
Yun Zhao nodded silently and returned home.
He sat in the study and wrote for a long time. It was not until evening that he called Mr. Qian in and said: " Invite mother, Uncle Fu, and Uncle Meng all over. I have something to say! ”
Seeing Yun Zhao’s unprecedented calmness, Mr. Qian went out to call for people.
After a while, everyone arrived.
Yun Zhao Standing in the middle of the room, he knelt down and kowtowed to his mother. After kowtowing three times in a row, he stopped the help of others and said to his overwhelmed mother, "Mom, this time, Yun may really bleed.
If I, the Yun family, are really in need of food and clothing, my son will take his mother to escape and beg for food. "
Yu Niang said in a trembling voice: "Son, what do you want to do?
Yun Zhao kowtowed to Yun Meng again, and the three of them laughed and said: "Now in Lantian, we have nothing to grab, right?"
Yunmeng nodded silently and said: "Only the four groups of Shangnan's Shengshi King, Guabei King, Yiyi Fei, and Zhentian King can't defeat them with our family's current strength."
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "This is the real end of the road. Uncle Meng, I want you to invite the heads of the big families in Dongxiang, Xixiang and Nanxiang to come to the Yun family."
I am going to burn all the IOUs and IOUs on fire, and first make Lantian County a place where no one is in debt. "
"What? Yun Fu was startled, stood up from his chair, looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Think clearly, without these IOUs, the Yun family will not be able to control the villagers!"
Yun Zhao sneered and said: "There has been a little bit of snow this winter. Even if there is spring rain in the spring, the moisture is still insufficient."
We can only survive this disaster by working together.
The wealthy households in Lantian County need to make the people feel that they have the last resort, and that the wealthy households are prepared to share the joys and sorrows with them, so that they will not drag their families to become refugees.
Besides, where can we go?
These are some plans I made. Take a look. If you think it is feasible, follow this plan!
If we survive the famine, the Yun family will be the most powerful person in Lantian County in the future. Even if I stop being an official, the Yun family will still be the real ruler of Lantian County in the eyes of the people.
If we fail, we will take the people here to fight to the death with King Shengshi, King Guabei, Yiyifei, and King Zhentian. After eating all these people, we will go to Xi'an. Mansion, if we eat all the food in Xi'an Mansion, we will go to Fengxiang Road. If we eat all the food in Fengxiang Road, I will dare to take you to eat in Beijing!
Let me tell you, I am so anxious that I dare to eat human flesh! "
Yun Zhao's words stunned everyone present, especially Yun Niang, as if she was meeting her son for the first time.
"Burn the IOU, just This is the first step. Next I want toAll the food in the county has been collected for me and I will distribute it uniformly. Of course, the rich households can keep enough food for their own families.
The third step is to unite all the people in the county, listen to the command, and eat together. Even if we carry it to death, we must carry it until the new grain is mature! "
Yun Fu said numbly: "The rich people will not agree. "
Yun Zhao looked at Yunmeng.
Yunmeng gritted his teeth and said: "We can't help them! "
"In this way, the Yun family will offend all the wealthy households in Lantian County, and there may be backlash. "
Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "The next step is for the soldiers to come and cover up the water and earth, and tell them clearly.
This year, we are facing not only famine, but also bandits and refugees. If he thinks that each family can survive it by hiding in the fort, he doesn’t have to come! ”
Major Qian distributed the plan written by Yun Zhao to Yun Niang, Yun Fu and Yun Meng.
After Yun Niang read Yun Zhao’s plan carefully, she told her son Said: "You come with me! "
Yun Zhao gave a wry smile and followed his mother to the inner house.
For a long time, Yun Niang didn't say a word, just looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "If you don't understand, just think you gave birth to a prodigal son!
Yunniang sighed and said, "Why must we destroy the family and cause trouble?" This is the foundation that your ancestors of the Yun family built over hundreds of years. Don’t you think it’s a pity? "
Yun Zhao pointed to his chest and said, "I feel uneasy! "
Yunniang said again: "Is it really a pity? If we really do what you said, we two will really go begging for food.
Yun Zhao frowned and said: "It's impossible. Even if you go to beg for food, in a year or two, the child will return to his mother a more powerful Yun family!"
Yunniang moved to her son, hugged his round head and said: "You really feel sorry for those refugees, not because you always want to be a robber and want to turn all these people into Your subordinates?
Yun Zhao smiled hard and said: "It's true that your son has great ambitions in his heart, and it's true that he wants to dominate the world. The problem is, he can't take care of it right now."
Yun Niang took a deep breath, kissed her son on the forehead and said with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good. This means that my son is my son, not some wild boar spirit!"
Yun Zhao frowned and said: "Why do you always think that I am a wild boar spirit?"
Yunniang smiled and said: "It's not because you are so capable. The stupid kid a year ago became omnipotent after enlightenment. How could I not worry about it?"
Since you are my son, you can do whatever you want, no matter what Uncle Fu thinks, after all, this family belongs to both of us.
It has nothing to do with outsiders.
Yun Zhao hugged his mother's waist and looked up at her and said, "How lucky am I to have a mother like you."
Don’t worry, the method I am implementing now has been implemented by others before.Yes, the effect is great, but it doesn't last long.
Yunniang touched her son's head and said, "In this case, you just do it. As you said, we, mother and son, can just go begging for food." "
With the support of his mother, Yun Zhao felt much more confident when he returned to the hall. Seeing that everyone had not dispersed, he found a seat and sat down, smiling at everyone: " Believe me, we will definitely succeed, and the Yun family will become the most virtuous family in Lantian County because of this incident. ”
