Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

I saw the people shouting sympathetically: "This Shangguan, spare these young people, there are not many young people on the grassland.

If it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't get rid of the pot, no one would come out to grab things desperately.

It’s not just his family. Our family is basically short of food. We haven’t eaten a full meal for almost a month. Just saving food and expenses like this may not be able to survive the famine. "

What? ? ?

Is this really the case?

Erhu asked the detained young man in surprise.

There was a trace of sadness in the man's eyes, but he replied angrily: "Don't be hypocritical here, if you didn't keep raising the price of food, how could we have fallen into this situation? It's all caused by you bloody businessmen!"

"Young man, why are you so extreme?

You only know that we raise the price of food, but you don't ask why we raise the price of food, so you conclude that we are doing it to harm people?

The Chamber of Commerce has been rooted in Fuyu City for several years, and has been doing business with you all. We have a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship. If we killed you, what good will it do us? " Erhu's image at this time is like a black-bellied and cunning profiteer fooling people.

After all, the young man was too young, with limited knowledge, so he couldn't answer, so he just stuck his neck and argued forcefully: "Who knows what benefits you have?

My grandfather said that the Tang people are our enemies and always try to trick us, and you businessmen, who only care about making money, don’t care about our lives? "

At this time, the guard was dissatisfied and said: "Presumptuous!

When did Datang become sworn enemies with you?So, why was it that everyone joined forces to attack Goguryeo before?

It shows that we have always been allies.

After the war, the leader of the Hu people of your three tribes saw that my Tang Dynasty was strong, and in order to make the Hu brothers get rich quickly and let everyone escape the hard life of the past, he deliberately proposed to join the Datang.

Our Majesty is benevolent and willing to accept it, so since last winter, no matter whether they are Hu people or Han people, they are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty. How can we distinguish between you and me?

Why do you promote hatred like this?Do you want the Hu people and the Han people to continue to kill each other from generation to generation? "

As soon as the guard said this, the people around him immediately pointed and criticized the young man. Everyone is a hard-working low-level people, and everyone hates fighting. Every year in the war, people die every year, and the more they fight, the poorer they are. Life is not easy at all.

You, your young man, turned pale and could no longer speak.

"Okay, okay, general, he is still an ignorant child, how can he know the difficulties of the world, we have to give him time to grow up." Erhu persuaded, this move attracted applause from the surrounding people, and they all said Shopkeeper Du is benevolent and righteous.

Erhu stepped forward to help the young man himself, and said earnestly like an elder teaching a junior: "Young man, do you know why the price of food has increased?

Every year in winter, food prices will rise. This may not be familiar to the Hu people on the grasslands, but the Goguryeo people here must be familiar with it. "

As he spoke, he looked at some common people in the crowd who had passed on the Goguryeo costumes, stood up and agreed with some enthusiasm: "Yes, it has been a practice for many years to raise prices in winter. clear.

Because in winter, the roads are blocked by heavy snow, and the transportation of food becomes more difficult. The original one-day journey may take three days. The food supply is tight, and the price increase is natural. "

Oh, it turned out to be the reason.

Many Hu people suddenly realized, and some even whispered: "I remember when the price of food here rose at the beginning, the buddy explained the reason, but no one believed it."

Erhu didn't expect that there would be enthusiastic people to help explain it, so it would be much easier now.

Following the man's words, Er Hu said: "This uncle is right. The difficulty of transportation is only one of them. The most important thing is that the consumption of food transportation has doubled. The original consumption of one day has become three days. The cost of long-distance transportation of food is not high. imagine.

Our chamber of commerce has calculated that if grain is transferred from Chang'an in the inland to here, and people eat horse chews along the way, [-]% of the grain will be consumed [-]% on the road. "

What? ?[-]%?so much?

Erhu said affirmatively: "That's right, it sounds a bit appalling, but it's true, because the grain produced in the Liaodong area of ​​the Tang Dynasty can't be supplied here, and they can only get the grain that the local people are self-sufficient and sell here. , must be mobilized from the grain-producing lands of the Central Plains.

We paid [-]% of the grain to buy the grain, but only [-]% of the grain was left after shipping. It stands to reason that the price should have increased by five times, but how much have we really increased the price?Everyone should be clear. "

"Impossible, the price of grain rises less than three times in winter, so you can't lose money in business, right?" some smart people questioned.

Erhu sighed: "Although it is not a loss, it is almost the same. It is only enough to keep the principal of the purchase. If you count the accident loss on our way of transporting the goods, it is really a loss."

Many people shouted: "Stop bragging, have you ever seen a businessman in this world who doesn't make money, and trades at a loss? Who will believe it? What do you eat when you lose money?"

Erhu raised his voice and said solemnly: "Then have you ever seen when there was a benevolent country like Tang Dynasty in this world? When was there a chamber of commerce like Du's Chamber of Commerce that traveled all over the world and traveled all over the world?

Our chamber of commerce exercises the right to half of the treasury in the Tang Dynasty. The first priority is not to collect money, but to protect the people, to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, the Han people and the Hu people belonged to different countries, and we would never sell so much food to others. You, after all, we also lack clothing and food in many parts of the Central Plains.

You can ask the Goguryeo brothers present here, they know best that in the past, they had to limit the supply if they wanted to buy food. After all, businessmen cannot be charged with being an enemy. "

Many Goguryeo people lowered their heads one by one, as if the two countries were against each other before, and the suffering everyone endured in Fuyu City was an unbearable memory. This scene let everyone know that what the shopkeeper of the Du family said was all the truth.

"But it's different now. This year we have never limited the supply, because you and I are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty. No matter the Hu people or the Goguryeo people present, they will all be Datang's own people and brothers. It is impossible for us to see death. Save, it is impossible for Datang to ignore the life and death of the people.

If you still don't believe me, please wait a few days, we will report the situation here to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely give a response to help everyone. "

Really?There was hope in many people's eyes, the family was almost in trouble, and the big bosses were not around. Even if they were still there, according to the situation in previous years, it would be good if these noble gentlemen didn't exploit everyone's breeding stock. Don't count on them at all. relief,

Many elderly Hu people were infected by Er Hu's words. Although they really wanted to believe what Er Hu said was true, they struggled even more and couldn't believe it.

Because the barbarians in the prairie have a custom to abandon the elderly and keep the young and middle-aged and children in the winter of a disaster year.

Now the people of Tang Dynasty say that they will help the people who cannot survive

Why not sooner?If it had been earlier, there would have been no need to abandon so many close relatives.

At this time, the guard general of Fuyu City stood up and said, "Everyone, this general has neglected his duty. I just found out today that everyone has encountered such a big difficulty. I will send someone eight hundred miles to send an urgent letter to Chang'an to ask for help. As long as we last for a while, the imperial court There will definitely be support."

Everyone applauded, although they didn't know the truth, but at this time the city guard general spoke very sincerely, regardless of the outcome, it is still worthy of everyone's thanks.

"Come here, take all these people to the prison!" The guards said one after another.

"Wait a minute, general, it's all a misunderstanding, or else" Er Hu interceded again.

The guard said: "Treasurer Du, one size belongs to one size, children are ignorant, but no matter who they are, old or young, sensible or not, they must be responsible for their actions.

You sympathize with their suffering, but when you look back, these folks from the grain store were slightly injured or seriously injured, what's wrong with them?How can an innocent be beaten like this?Who is responsible for this?

You have to sympathize with them too. "

The two tigers didn't expect that the general guard would seize this matter and object.

But the onlookers were persuaded by the guards. This is indeed the truth. If they are beaten up for no reason, they are also the ones who suffer.

"General, we're fine. They're hungry too. It's only natural for us to recover from our injuries for a few days." The injured men stood up and said that they knew what the shopkeeper meant and asked for a settlement.

Erhu took advantage of the situation and said: "Look, general, there is a saying that people don't hold officials accountable. It doesn't matter if you take this group of young people, but they are the pillars of the family. After being asked about their crimes, the old and young in the family will probably be killed." Can't live anymore.

For the sake of their youth, let's make a difference. "

This guard will be in trouble.
