A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 115 Picking up a Daughter-in-law
(Thanks to Xueyong Languan for the reward of [-]!)

There is a folk proverb that after the beginning of autumn, there are still eighteen autumn tigers.

The sun is still hot.

Marching along the Weishui River Valley, thousands of men and horses marched mightily.

"Damn wolf cub, you ruined the crops. The millet has been planted for more than half a year, and it is almost ready to harvest. The Turkic wolf cub ruined it all."

Hou Sanyi was wearing bright armor, riding a horse to guard Huaiyu's side, looking at the grain fields and crops that were everywhere in the Weihe Valley, but now it was a mess, he couldn't help sighing and cursing.

"These wolves, how will the people of Longyou survive the winter?"

The summer heat and the millet are ripe, and the autumn is cool and the white dew is born.

Millet stays in the ground for a long time. It is planted in spring and harvested in autumn. Although the yield is low, it is drought-tolerant. Now in autumn and July, it is originally the season for millet to bloom. In July, millet flowers are fragrant, and in August, millet is harvested.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the newly harvested millet is shelled and ground to make a fragrant, sticky yellow cake, which is the same color as the sun.

Thirty miles of oat noodles, forty miles of cakes, and ten miles of buckwheat noodles are exhausting.

Huaiyu also likes millet, millet, and millet in the northwest. Southerners may think that they are all the same millet, but millet is also called millet, and millet is also called big yellow rice or sticky rice, and millet is hard yellow rice.Millet is used to make cakes and wine, millet is used to make fried rice, and millet is used to make porridge and rice.

For the people in the Northwest, it is difficult to produce wheat and rice in the valleys, valleys, valleys, and drought-stricken plateaus, so they mainly plant millet, oats, buckwheat, etc. These are their hard work and expectations for a year. , It is the ration to support the family to survive.

Now in the fertile valley, wheat, millet, millet, etc. have all caused disasters to the Turkic people.

Even the villages in the valley that used to be connected by smoke are now dilapidated and deserted. Many people were taken away by the Turks, and some who fled early are still in the mountains or in other places.

Only a very small number of people who came back could only sigh and cry when they saw the ruined walls and the ruined crops.

Now that Hou San has become the deputy of the government army under the ninth grade, it also means that he will settle in Weizhou, Longyou, and even move his whole family here, and he will also become a part of the land here. , as himself, those remaining villages are like his home.

"We can't let those wolf cubs go."

"For sure, we will have revenge sooner or later, and it won't be too long. We will definitely be able to march northward and take Khan Court directly." Huaiyu said.

Xu Erlang rode his horse over, "Erlang, there are many hungry people ahead."

"The county seat of Longxi is in front of it. Does County Magistrate Wang care?"

"The county magistrate Wang has made great achievements in defending the city. He has been promoted to the Sima of Qinzhou. He is now at the sixth rank."

Huaiyu didn't expect that Wang Da would also be promoted.

"Then who is the county magistrate of Longxi now?"

"I don't know, there is no one at the moment, but although Longxi County is defending this time, thousands of young and strong people died helping to defend the city.

The battle was won, but the situation became more and more serious.

Lu Huai let him come over, and after listening to it, he said bluntly, "Let's leave the local affairs to the local government. We can't take care of it. The food we are carrying now has been pulled out with great difficulty. If we distribute it to the hungry people, we will have no food to eat when we arrive in Zhang County." .”

Zhang County was originally the wealthiest county in Weizhou, especially Yanjing Village, which was more prosperous than the county seat, but it was also raided and looted by the Turks before, and then Qiang Luo also took advantage of the fire to loot, and now it is also dilapidated.

When Huaiyu and the others came to the front, they couldn't help being amazed when they saw the starving people. The people dragged their families to support the old and the young.

"Master Jun, give me a stutter, I haven't eaten a grain of rice in three days."

"Officer, take my daughter away. She's thirteen. She can do laundry, cook, make beds, and make beds. All she needs is some food."

"A Lang, take me with you, give Dou Xiaomi my man, and save my children."

Looking at Huaiyu's army, the hungry people were not afraid, instead they all rushed over to block the way to beg, and some even wanted to 'send' their daughters and wives to the soldiers directly.

A bucket of millet can take away a little daughter-in-law or a big girl.

Even many young women took the initiative to sell themselves, just to exchange some food for their families to survive.

A dry man pushed a big girl into his arms, and Xu Er was a little moved.

"Erlang, can I get some food?"

"You want to buy someone?" Huaiyu asked.

Xu Erling looked at the girl in his arms, she was quite tall, about fifteen or sixteen, and she was quite strong. Although she looked disheveled now, she could tell that she had big breasts and big buttocks. Life will not be bad.

"I'm already 20 years old, and I haven't married a wife yet. This girl is pretty good, and a bucket of millet will do." Xu Erlian fell in love with the girl, and made a good plan. He became a soldier in the government, and he was going to stay in Weizhou in Longzhou If he is registered and naturalized, he will be allocated [-] acres of land immediately, but his father and brother are both in Longqiao, and his elder brother joined the Imperial Army in place of his father, so it is impossible for his family to come to Weizhou.

If a bucket of rice marries this girl, someone will take care of the new home, and if you hurry up, you will be able to hold your son next year.Settling in Longyou requires a lot of expenses, and one bucket of rice can marry a daughter-in-law, so how much money can be saved.

"Have you thought about it? You are also a soldier of the government now, and you will be able to divide a hundred acres of land immediately, and your family is an imperial army. It is not difficult to find a wife."

"I've thought about it, this one is pretty good." Xu Erlianzi had already grabbed the girl's hand and refused to let go, but the girl just stood there and let him hold her hand, and her father kept pushing the girl into Erlianzi's arms. , especially after hearing that Xu Er's fool is a soldier of the government, but willing to marry his daughter, he is even more unwilling to leave.

It is definitely a hundred times better for a daughter to be a wife for a soldier than to be a slave.

Huaiyu asked the old man and the girl a few words, and they all expressed their willingness to marry Xu Er, as long as they wanted a bucket of millet.

The old man's family was originally in Xinxingchuan, but in a sudden battle, the old man's two sons died under the Turkic horse, and his two daughters-in-law were taken away by the Turkic people. My two daughters are now dizzy and dizzy with hunger. Although the Turkic people left, the house was burned and the crops were gone.

It is also a helpless move to exchange the eldest daughter for one or two buckets of millet.

There is no way out.

Huaiyu sighed, and said to the old man: "Xu Erlianzi's big name is Xu Siye. His father and brother are the emperor Yuan Cong, who settled in Sanyuan, Weibei. Fubing, he will settle down in Weizhou in the future. He is 20 years old this year, and he also wants to find a good spouse to start a family together here.
If you don't dislike him, then I'll be a matchmaker for him, and the conditions are poor for a while, so I'll be frugal for the time being. "

"Nowadays, the houses here are destroyed, the crops are ruined, and it's difficult for you and your family to survive. Why don't you just follow us to Yanjing, Zhang County, where it's convenient for the fool to take care of you nearby, and secondly, you can still have some work there."

"I'll give you two buckets of millet first, and when Zhang County is settled, I'll give the second fool and the girl the officiant marriage. At that time, the three books and six servants will follow the rules, and there will be no shortage."

After the old man heard this, he pulled his daughter and knelt down, and his old wife and young daughter also knelt down with his young grandchildren.

"Please get up."

Xu Erlang also agreed with Huaiyu's decision, "I didn't think carefully just now, so I will do as Erlang said, and I will make up for Pingli later."

"Siye, you married this girl, so you have to help take care of her family, can you do it?" Huaiyu asked.

"Erlang, don't worry, we don't understand the basic principles of life. From now on, we will be a family. If I, Xu Erleng, eat a bite, I will never starve them. It just so happens that I will be able to divide the land right away." Land, when the time comes, the men and women weaving in our family, are we afraid that we will not be able to get enough food and clothing?"

These words were generous enough, and it made the girl feel warm in her heart, and immediately recognized the young man in her heart.

"Okay, this can be regarded as a good match arranged by God, Er Leng, hurry up and get some dry food and water for them, and arrange to accompany them."

Xu Er Leng was very satisfied with the girl, and picked up a daughter-in-law directly, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and went in a hurry.

With the example of Xu Erlianzi, many hungry people will marry their daughters to the soldiers in the hospital.

The soldiers from the hospital, as well as many soldiers from the former hospital battalion who entered Pinglefu, were basically children of volunteer soldiers, or trilogy, etc. Many of them were young people in their 20s, and most of them were not married yet. Countless girls will be sent into their arms, which makes these young soldiers laugh from ear to ear.

"It's a good thing." Ma Zhou looked at the scene and said to Huaiyu with a smile.

"Well, Xindian Fubing, settled in Longyou, and can marry a wife here, isn't that a good thing." In the current situation, these big girls in Longyou don't mention any gifts, just give some food to save their lives That's it.

"Tell everyone, if you have a wife at home, don't join in the fun," Huaiyu confessed, "You shouldn't take advantage of the opportunity to treat a good man as cheap, and take them into slavery, etc. If there is any violation, the military law will be followed."

These Longyou people are also suffering people who suffered from the war. At this time, buying good is cheap, and there will be a department to hold them accountable, and the consequences will be serious.

"Whoever wants to go to Zhang County can go with the camp."

"Bring out some food, cook porridge here, and let everyone eat some hot food to fill their stomachs." This kind of disaster relief is originally a matter for local state and county governments, but they have to do something when they encounter it.

Chen Xing, the cheap brother-in-law, leaned over to Huaiyu, "Erlang, some people asked me to send their daughter to you just now."

"Don't you know my situation?" Huaiyu smiled.

Naturally, Chen Xing also knew that this brother-in-law was secretly messing with the mother of General Fan's family. The location of the main room had already been reserved, so he said immediately: "Erlang, you are also famous now, pick one or two young and beautiful ones. It's good to be a concubine, and it's considered saving a family."

"Chen Xing, turn around."

As soon as Chen Xing turned his head, he saw Fan Xuanfu behind him, and his hand was already touching the sword that cut the horse. Chen Xing lost his fright, his face paled instantly, and he stammered: "Fan Da... Fan Lang Jun, I'm joking," he said, and fled with his tail between his legs.

Fan Xuanfu came to Huaiyu, "Chen Canjun is right, there are so many girls, if you don't pick two, it's considered a good deed."

Huaiyu hehe, Fan Xuanfu is still holding the horse-chopping knife on the handle, it is hypocritical to say this.

Woman, that's how hypocritical it is!
