Chapter 1916 They just want to live well

No wonder, this dog is obviously ten years old, but he looks only six or seven years old. It turns out that the reason is that he has not had enough to eat all year round.

And this old man, even though he didn't have enough wheat in his house, he managed to bear such a big bag (it seems that there are thirty catties if there is no fifty catties), and he came to give them...

Thinking that this might be half of their family's remaining rations, Xiao Yichen felt his eyes a little sour.

In fact, the common people's requirements are really low. When it is safe and sound, as long as they can eat enough, when the plague comes, they just want to survive. Shui Lingyue saved them, and the court saved them, so they are willing to send Give what you have.

Xiao Yichen's face was gloomy, and he said in a bad tone: "Whose land are you renting?"

The people in front of them all sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and all turned their eyes to the old man.

Suddenly being stared at by so many people, the old man seemed to have sensed the change in the atmosphere. He was taken aback for a while, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not the fault of the people who leased the land to the old man. Before this year, the annual rent for one mu of land was only Thirty catties, this year, the previous emperor had just ascended the throne, and he issued an order to increase the rent per mu to one hundred catties, and rent the land to the old man Lu Yuanwai, the poor old man is afraid that the old man will have nothing to eat, this year No rent was collected from the old man, and the rent of one hundred catties was all handed over to the previous court."

It turned out to be Chu Yi!
Xiao Yichen originally thought that Chu Yi just liked fighting for power, but he didn't expect him to be so mad.

After hearing what the old man said, the others also began to pour out their bitterness, and began to cry about how much land rent Chu Yi had collected when he was in power.

The more Xiao Yichen heard it, the more frightened he became. In just one Lihua village, many people were about to starve to death.

The big guys sighed while communicating: "It's fortunate that the emperor kicked that blood-sucking guy off the throne in time, otherwise we ordinary people would have suffered a lot."

The crowd joined in.

At this time, there was the sound of uniform footsteps on the palace road, everyone was curious, and turned their eyes to the other side, and saw countless soldiers, surrounded by Di Tuo, walking slowly.

It was Dongfang Lingyu who came.

Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue stood up, bid farewell to the people of Lihua Village, and then walked slowly towards the palace road.

The common people were reluctant to part with the emperor and queen, and followed them all the way to the front of the palace road.

Xiao Yichen sent Shui Lingyue to God first, then turned his head to look at the crowd, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

After Xiao Yichen was kicked out by God, the huge team began to change directions in an orderly manner and return to the way they came.

The common people watched Di Tuo off and refused to leave for a long time.

The emperor stepped forward, Xiao Yichen held Shui Lingyue's hand tightly, and sighed softly: "I never thought that the life of ordinary people would be so miserable."

Shui Lingyue nodded, and said: "Although they are poor, they are willing to take out the only things at home and give them to us, which shows their kindness and gratitude." Having said that, Shui Lingyue turned her head and looked at Xiao Yichen tenderly, Said: "Actually, the common people's requirements are really not high, they just want to live a good life."

Xiao Yichen nodded, and said: "Yueyue, I have a decision. After we return to the palace, I will order someone to count and return all the rent that Chu Yi collected to the common people, so that they can Live in peace until the next harvest of grain."
