I can’t tell you that Tang Niu and Lu Jun went out of Beijing in disguise. They have been here seven days ago. They didn’t go to the county seat according to Lin Feng’s orders. When they got there, they couldn’t find out what would startle them. They just went to remote places. Only when the government didn’t want to go can they truly reflect the sufferings of the people.
"Someone is coming."
Two people quickly flash to one side and hide behind the stone, just to see a group of people coming over. The first person is the county main book, and the last one is the cart driver. It is the food that was forcibly collected from the village, and the face is proud. I didn’t notice two people hiding behind the stone.
"It’s not a good thing to see that person without a look."
"This is the right time. They came from here, so let’s go from here. There must be a lot of articles in it."
"Go"
The shape of the two men flashed along the car prints until the present situation could be miserable and shabby. The old people and women sat down and lost their minds. Most of the young people in the village hid in the mountains and left some old people, women and children. No matter how fierce the government people were, they could not catch these people.
"I’ve already given it to you and my old bones." Just two people approached the village and an old man rushed out of his hand with a wooden stick and called Tang Niu on the shoulder.
After all, Tang Niu, who is old, sticks out his hands to hold the old man and hits him with a stick. It’s just a moment of anger. I didn’t expect to really hit someone.
Chapter three hundred and ninety-four Remote villages
When Tang Niu and Lu Jun entered the Taiping mansion, they simply walked towards a remote place. They were hungry, took a bite of dry food with them, thirsty and took a sip of spring water. I didn’t know how far it was to go out. On this day, they finally found the dilapidated village and just left the chief.
Suddenly, I rushed out of the old man’s hand, raised my club and slapped a dozen Tang Niu’s body. Not only was the old man Lu Jun, but I couldn’t believe that Tang Niu’s skill could be hit.
After all, the strength of the old man is limited, even if it is a blow, it is just an extra red mark. If you avoid the old man, you will inevitably fall down at this age, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Daddy"
A woman quickly ran out, followed by a seven-year-old child who also carried a short stick and stared at Tang Niu with hostile eyes.
"Does the old man care?"
Tang Niu holds the old man with a face of embarrassment and finally sees that these two people are not just breaking into the village. Didn’t those people call the wrong person?
"You are not sent by the government to rob food?"
Tang Niu shook his head. "The old man misunderstood and happened to pass by here."
"Does it hurt to be wrong?"
"Don’t hurt, don’t believe me, play a few more times." Tang Niu Yi came out of the village with a naive face. Those people also let their guard down. Even so, the stick still carries their hands.
"What is this place, old man?"
"All the men in Mijia Village are surnamed Mi, and others call me Papa Mi."
"Dad, slow down."
Before several people came to the village, a woman squatted in front of her door and kept picking up the fallen rice with some mud, or picking it up and letting it go, or eating it. Don’t look at it as a small handful of boiled rice porridge.
"Those who just left are all government officials?"
"Take the lead is the county main book to bring people to urge food. This year, the land harvest is not good, but there are more food. Even if you don’t eat or drink, you can’t afford to pay so much. There is no way for a large family to make a living." M Torre said and shook his head and took two people to sit in front of his house. At this time, it was near dusk, and there was almost no smoke coming out of the village chimney.
The child is slightly thin behind him and still looks at the two with a stick.
"Are you hungry?"
The child did not answer, but shook his head. The expression in his eyes was that at this age, children should not have poor families. The situation is that they live in such an environment that even the most basic things can’t be guaranteed not to be taken away by the government. The adults in the village can hide in the mountains
"Take it"
Tang Niu took out a large piece of dry food from his pocket and stuffed it into the child’s hand. When he passed through the county seat, he bought some. Perhaps the child here had never eaten this kind of thing. He snapped his hand and looked at it and didn’t take a bite at once.
"Let’s eat," Torre said with a sigh. It’s just that adults suffer some hardships. The most unbearable thing is that children look at people’s hearts.
Carefully bite a piece in your hand and lick it for fear that the noodles will fall to the ground. "Is it delicious?" Children nodding their heads should be hungry and eat up a piece of dry food quickly.
"How much food does the old family have to pay?"
"It’s not too much to have two fights for an acre of private land here. It’s the same practice every year. Because of the drought this year and then the flood, the harvest in the field is limited. I didn’t expect the government to intensify it. I have to pay the grain tax, pay the silver, pay the silver, make up the grain, and settle the money without it. Where can I get the village silver in a place like ours?"
The old man said that a bucket is an official bucket. Almost 20 Jin is ground grain. Almost 40 Jin has been harvested for an acre of land for a long time, but more than 100 Jin. If there is a good year, a few people in a family can eat enough on a few acres of land. Once there is a famine, they will tighten their belts until next year.
"If this happens, you can’t be flexible?"
The old man sighed, "Those officials who care about the lives of the people are looking forward to collecting all the food as soon as possible. Every day, they think of ways to make you pay. If anyone really wants to hide every day, some ration chiefs took people to take a trip, which doesn’t make people beat up."
"If you don’t pay, how can you still force people to death!" Tang Niu listened and rubbed together, and the sound became higher and higher. In addition to the old man, there were other villagers at the edge of the village. Several children looked envious and looked at the small piece of dry food left in their hands. What was the taste? It must be very delicious.
"If you don’t pay the government, you will be young and strong to do coolies. If you don’t have enough to eat every day, you will be beaten and finally come back. There is no way. But if you have any way out, you must think of ways to pay the food so that people can come back." The old man said with a faint sob.
"What happened to them?"
"All the men in the family have been taken away. I haven’t seen it for more than ten days. I can sell it all or I can’t make enough money to redeem people!" When the old man finished, he couldn’t help sighing and looking at the whole village, but dozens of people attacked Tang Niu, and his position in the village should not be low.
"So oppress people not to tell on? Taiping officials, regardless of the capital and the emperor. "
The old man shook his head. "The original rule is that the court has made a declaration, and it is also a white confession. I have to pay the food in the future."
"Dad, dad, go and see Mi San, even dying."
"Yesterday was fine."
M Torre quickly got up and a line of people followed the woman and ran straight to the village to push the wooden door. A strange smell came out of the fire, and the pot for boiling medicine was held. I didn’t know what was in the dark bowl by the faint light. That strange smell came from the pot.
