Fuya cleaned up the guest room, and Chenyang went back to have a rest early in the morning. After a while, the servant girl of Fuya sent food, including black chicken soup, sauce beef, braised pigeon and a bowl of crystal clear white rice, which was better than what they ate in the inn.
Chen Yang looked at a table full of meat and fishy straight shook his head, "people are starving outside, how can you still eat meat here?"
Shangmei said, "how about the government forcing the people to revolt? These officials are all good at exploiting and squeezing. They are the cream of the people. Even lean meat can give you two liang of oil. These are nothing. "
As soon as she heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks. "Then I won't eat."
Shangxiang advised her, "you should eat, and it has nothing to do with you. It's them who will be punished in the future. They won't hinder you at all."
Shen Yang stood up, walked to the door, looked at the lonely moon in the sky, and couldn't help expecting Ai Ai's worry. "They haven't been hungry. They don't know how hard it is to be hungry. How can these people be like this? There are many complaints outside. They are starving. How can these parents swallow their food with ease? "
Feng Yebai told her not to worry. The emperor even ignored the life and death of his own people. It was useless for them to worry about it.
It's not her turn to worry about it, but she just felt uncomfortable. There was a famine in her family. It was the longest time that she was hungry. After three days without eating, her father had to cut off the meat to feed her. So she knew the taste of starvation. She really wanted to eat herself, but what about here? Outside is purgatory, inside is yaochi fairyland, these officials Bai Long eyes, all full of blind, people's life and death in their eyes is worthless.
Shangmei Shangxiang advised her to have some, but she was stubborn. Ten cows couldn't come back. She stood by the window facing the wind, waiting for Feng Yebai to come back.
The two of them couldn't persuade her, so they had to go up and close the window. They added a gauze to her and helped her to sit on the bed and wait.
But in that chamber, after drinking two cups of wine, Feng Yebai asked a few questions, and after digging the bottom, he refused to sit again.
It's really not easy to deal with so many victims. It's not a long-term solution to rely on aid alone. They have left their homes and rushed to the north. The south is empty and many places have become dead cities. In the final analysis, we have to solve the problem from the root. Otherwise, these people will have to eat up the national treasury sooner or later.
Li Changyong saw that he was not worried about his face. He thought that his service was not good enough. He clapped his hands. At the bottom, someone came with a square box of Nanmu. He opened it and found a box of golden gold.
"Mr. Wang, you've been working hard all the way. These are the gifts from my lower official. You see, my lower official has been here for so many years, and I don't know how much discount I've given you. I want to serve the imperial court better, but when the discount comes to Beijing, it's all gone, so..." He pushed the gold in front of Feng Yebai's face. "I want to ask the king to give me some good words after he returns to Beijing."
He just got here and was in a hurry to get him back? Look at this, it means that there is no money left in this place. I'm going to donate money to become an official. Look, this is his father and mother's official under Yu Wenchang. They want to get promoted at this time.
