Chapter 90 The Strange Anling Village

Ruimiao said: "Your Highness, I have been here before. The most famous one here is Changqing Temple. There is a spiritual spring in Changqing Temple. It is said that the spring water can cure diseases and reduce disasters. The scenery in the temple is also very good. Once you arrive, In autumn, the maple leaves all over the mountains turn red, and now is a good time to appreciate the maple leaves.”

Ah!Evergreen Temple?Take the meaning of evergreen?
It's a good idea, but those things done by the Changqing Temple in the previous life, I'm afraid they will not last forever, but will last forever!

In her previous life, Qin Shuhuang was a little in awe of these Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.

She once sincerely prayed for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, to bless her husband and wife, to bless the royal inheritance, to bless the success and well-being of the emperor's brother and aunt... but none of them came true...

Only in this life did she understand that it is useless to pray to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples for what she wants to obtain and protect, and she can only rely on herself!

Evergreen Temple!
When that happens, she will be the first to settle the score with Changqing Temple!
Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "I won't go to Changqing Temple today. If you want to go, we can go and have a look some other time. Today we leave Zhuangzi and go to the nearby villages."

When Qin Shuhuang said this, everyone didn't feel disappointed. Originally, the purpose of this trip was to let the princess relax. Naturally, the princess can go wherever she wants.

The nearest county town here is called Guangping County, which is about fifty miles away. The nearest village is Anling Village, which is also twenty miles away.

Since we want to visit nearby villages and counties, the nearest ones are naturally Anling Village and Guangping County.

Fortunately, it's not far. It takes about half an hour from Hot Spring Village to Anling Village.

Outside the range of Hot Spring Village, there are farmlands on both sides of the official road, neat and orderly, and the rice has turned from green to yellow, and it will be harvested in about a month.

When Rui Miao was in charge of Qin Shuhuang's Zhuangzi, she came to inspect the vicinity of Hot Spring Zhuangzi. She introduced, "Your Highness, the farmland we passed just now belonged to Hot Spring Zhuangzi. This is all imperial land. The fields are fertile and the crops are rich. The best fertile land. This year’s crops are growing well, and it must be a good year!”

Qin Shuhuang opened the curtain and looked outside. Sure enough, there were layers of grain and it was almost ready to be harvested.

From time to time, there are tenant farmers carrying hoes to check in the fields. During the harvest, they dare not be sloppy in the slightest. This is related to whether the farmers have food to survive the cold winter.

But as the carriage moved forward, the scenery gradually changed.

The fertile and tidy farmland is no longer there, and the high-yield crops are no longer there. Instead, there are patches of irregular and barren fields.

Although there are crops in the fields, the growth is much different from the royal fields, and the rice and wheat are much sparse.

Seeing His Highness staring at the farmland outside, he couldn't help frowning, Rui Miao continued: "Your Highness, most of these are the properties of the nearby villagers, and the soil quality is far inferior to the royal fields, and the location is not very good. Medium field."

The people who can own these fields are considered to be well-off families, and most of them are landless people. They either make a living by being tenant farmers for others, or they open up wasteland and farm their own land.

However, there is only three years without taxation on land that has been reclaimed. Once the three years have passed, the people will not be able to pay the tax, and the fields that have just been reclaimed will be taken away.

On the way to Anling Village, Qin Shuhuang saw with his own eyes the lower-grade fields and the fields that had just been opened up.

The crops in the lower-class fields are barren and sparse. It is foreseeable that the harvest may not be half of that of the first-class fields. As for the reclaimed wasteland, there is even less. In the past two years, no rice or wheat can be grown at all, and only some healthy vegetables can be grown. and whole grains.

Even so, these barren crops are also the people's future expectations and the basis for survival!

If all these were gone, would the royal family still have the nerve and ability to rule them?

Qin Shuhuang suddenly felt that the burden on the shoulders of himself and the emperor's younger brother became extremely heavy, and if he had an opportunity, he should let the emperor see the people at the bottom.

From Hot Spring Zhuangzi to the vicinity of Anling Village, it seems to have returned to the cruel world from the Peach Blossom Spring.

Perhaps this small village rarely has outsiders visiting. As soon as they arrived at the village, many children wearing rags and snotty noses gathered around them and ran behind the carriage. If it weren't for the cold-faced Xuan Cang and Xie beside the carriage, Cheng Huyou, these children will be pushed to the edge of the carriage.

The carriage stopped beside a big banyan tree at the head of the village.

Qin Shuhuang was helped out of the carriage by Shi Yu.

Looking around, there are about dozens of households in this small village called Anling, and each household is built with a thatched house with a thatched roof, and there is not a single tile.

Many of the children gathered around were still naked in the weather like early autumn.

Qin Shuhuang was about to look around in the small village, when he saw two people walking quickly not far away, an old man with gray hair, and a dark and thin young man.

The old man still had a hoe on his shoulder. He had obviously just tended the crops in the field.

After the two came to the front, they immediately handed over to Qin Shuhuang who was standing in the middle.

The lacy-haired old man asked cautiously, "Madam, why did you come to our village?"

It turned out that the old man was the head of Anling Village, and it was estimated that when they arrived at the village, a child quietly went to inform them.

Qin Shuhuang was just looking at it at random, without any particular purpose, so he told the truth, "Don't worry, old man, I was just passing by and saw a village here, so I got out of the carriage to take a look, it wasn't for anything."

Li Chang saw that the young lady in front of her had an extraordinary temperament. Although she was dressed plainly, she was surrounded by maids and guards. She must have come from a rich family. The poor in Anling Village couldn’t afford enough to eat. They didn’t let this young lady plot against her at all. Seeing this, I feel a little relieved.

Qin Shuhuang saw that all the children around them were thin and weak, but some of them had huge stomachs. She frowned. This was a sign of malnutrition and disharmony of internal organs, and she had to take medicine immediately.

Qin Shuhuang brought a lot of things in the carriage today, all of which she asked Shilan to prepare.

Seeing this big banyan tree, Qin Shuhuang said to the chief: "Old man, I know some medical skills. I wonder if I can set up a free clinic stall here and let me extract some medical records. Don't worry, I won't worry about the people who come here to see the doctor. For one copper coin, I will also provide you with the medicinal ingredients for free."

The village head looked at the young lady in front of her with a dignified speech and demeanor, and said that it is a good thing to see a doctor and save people, and the medicine is delivered for free. If they go to the county to see a doctor, they can't afford the medicine. There are many sick patients in the village, just for this lady to take a good look at .

The chief quickly agreed, and after he thanked Qin Shuhuang, he asked the dark and thin man beside him to bring Qin Shuhuang an old and worn-out table to serve as Qin Shuhuang's consultation table.

The gray old man drove away the children who were watching nearby, and asked them to go back and tell their family members that there was a lady under the big banyan tree at the head of the village who gave free clinics and provided free medicine.

Many children ran away and went back to inform their parents and brothers.

Qin Shuhuang asked Xie Cheng to move the low stools and tables from the carriage and place them next to the old table. He also took pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and placed various medicinal materials beside them. A simple free clinic stall was set up.

Qin Shuhuang sat behind the table and waited for the patient.

But the strange thing is that after a quarter of an hour, no one came!
