I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 341

Wang Zi'an got up silently and changed into plain clothes.

"Don't wait for me tonight—"

Wang Zi'an stopped in his tracks, briefly explained to Qingzi, and then followed the man who came to deliver the message, whipping his horse and whipping away.These victims, apart from the officers and soldiers who accompanied him for protection, were the medical staff who followed him to the disaster area.

Because of one of his suggestions, some young students temporarily drawn from Chang'an County School, Wannian County School and Guozijian are mostly between the ages of fifteen and sixteen to eighteen or nineteen, and the oldest is only in his early twenties .It is the age of prime and prime, if it is not because of his suggestion, they should be studying in school at this time, imagining that once they are in high school, they will be glorious.

But now, they have become a handful of ashes.

"I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me."

Although no one blamed him, he couldn't get around that hurdle by himself, and he felt that he owed them an explanation.

However, the people who burned Bowangpo are still at large, the remnants of the Yin family who blocked the river and killed them have not yet been brought to justice, and the promises I made to them cannot be fulfilled one by one.Originally, he wanted to personally escort the ashes of these people home, but the situation changed later, and he went to Bianzhou in the middle, and hurried back to the capital from Bianzhou, but he never or forgot about this matter. .

Today, the team he sent to escort the ashes and spirit tablets finally returned, bringing back the wanderer who died in a foreign land.

"The heroic spirits are not far away, and the souls have returned to their hometowns. I will do my best to avenge you all."

The sky was covered with leaden clouds, and it seemed that winter snow was coming.With a heavy heart, Wang Zian walked into the Yi Zhuang where everyone's ashes were parked, and offered incense to all the spiritual seats one by one.Now that Li Yuanxin died, it was impossible for their bones to enter Chang'an without incident, so they had to temporarily settle down in this Yizhuang outside the city.

The north wind howled, and at dawn, the sky had already begun to float sporadic snow particles.

"Master Hou, it's snowing, the weather is wet and the road is slippery, please go back, the little ones must entrust the brothers to their families one by one."

Wang Zian shook his head silently.

"Let's go, I'll give them a ride."

The middle-aged man in charge of this matter looked at Wang Zi'an's face, he didn't dare to persuade him any more, he turned around and ordered the team to set off.

"I used to go, Yangliu Yiyi, now I come to think, rain and snow..."

The deep singing echoed in the first heavy snow in early winter.

The families of the victims had received the news a long time ago, and they all waited at home early, waiting for the children whose souls returned to their hometowns to return home.Although more than two months have passed since their deaths, and their family members have already accepted this reality, many of them still couldn't help crying when they saw the ashes.

When he left in the past, he was still a living young man, but when he came back today, there was only a handful of cold ashes left.

"Thank you Hou Ye for sending the dog home—"

A gray-haired old man knelt on the ground trembling with tears streaming down his face, insisting on kneeling to thank Wang Zi'an.Wang Zian avoided the figure and helped the old man up from the ground.

"I didn't take good care of them, I'm sorry—"

Wang Zi'an looked at this frail old man with extremely complicated emotions.He knew that this old man had a son in old age, and there was no one else in the family except this son.He was alone, saving money to raise the child, and then gritted his teeth and sent the child to the county school to study.

However, I couldn't bring him home safely.

Most of the young people in the medical team came from poor backgrounds.The son of a rich family, the son of a noble family, who would join such a medical team and do that kind of dirty and tiring work?

It's not easy for a poor student to get ahead.

Therefore, when the imperial court called for a medical team, many people would be willing to participate.Even he himself thought that he was giving this group of poor students a chance, but he never expected that this group of young people would die in a foreign land.

"Master Hou is serious. The dog once asked someone to send a letter home, saying that Lord Hou took good care of them along the way. This little old man's gift is to thank Lord Hou for his kindness on behalf of the dog..."

Prince An silently looked around at the dilapidated house of the old man and asked in a harmonious voice.

"Isn't the imperial court's pension still available?"

"When I came down, I was given a piece of silk, a coffin, and I was exempted from taxation for two years..."

Wang Zi'an couldn't help frowning, with anger in his expression, he looked back at the man leading the team.

"Why are there so few? Could it be that some of them withheld money?"

It's no wonder that Wang Zi'an was angry. These people, after all, died in the line of duty, so they were given such a small amount of compensation?The middle-aged man stepped forward with a wry smile and explained in a low voice.

"Master Hou, there is nothing wrong with these pensions. According to the "Tang Laws and Discussions", from Xing Xing's body to death, [-] paragraphs will be broken, [-] paragraphs will be made, and [-] paragraphs will be made, and a spirit will be built and delivered back to the government. Team deputy and above, each will be given two pieces of silk, and the guards will be given one piece of silk to fill the funeral clothes, and also give the coffin, and order it to be delivered back home. Restore (exempt from class service) to his family for two years."

Wang Zian was dumbfounded, in this fucking era, human life is really worthless!
He suddenly felt a little blocked, looking at the old man's old face, he felt that the extra twenty copper coins he added were so flimsy and powerless.

"Every household who dies will receive [-] acres of Yongye farmland..."

Walking out of the old man's low house, Wang Zi'an sighed and gave instructions in a low voice.

"Master Hou, the imperial court will not agree..."

The middle-aged man smiled wryly and shook his head.

Is the court's pension thin?

It is naturally thin, but hasn't it always been like this since ancient times?Now that the imperial court is clear and bright, it is not bad. These pensions can be fully distributed. In the past, where can you go to reason without a penny?

The imperial court has its own rules for pensions, and it is impossible to break the rules for someone else.

"From my manor - even if it is an extra favor from the court -"

The prince settled down and added.The middle-aged man froze for a moment, then nodded emphatically.He suddenly understood why Uncle Geng and Chief Xu, their majestic Tianzi Nine Guards, would half-truly become his servants.This young Lord Hou really has a convincing charm.

Twenty pennies and twenty mu of land are naturally not worth the preciousness of life, but they can somewhat reassure the dead and ignite some hope for the living. This is the only thing he can do now.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger.

Countless villages and rice paddies are shrouded in this vast expanse of snow.It took Wang Zi'an and his party two full days to deliver all the ashes and spirit tablets to their relatives one by one.After stepping on the snow, I returned to Gao Laozhuang's house, and it was already two nights later.

Miss Haruko hurriedly helped him change his coat and served him hot soup.At the stall where Wang Zi'an washed and ate, Haruko introduced him the situation of the past two days.

Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and Yan Shigu have already sent people over twice, saying that they have contacted a group of people to compile a dictionary, and asked him to take time to come over and meet everyone.Qin Huaiyu sent new textbooks, which were all engraved and printed, and they were very neat.Li Ke also sent someone to look for him once, but he couldn't find anyone, so he went back without saying anything.Cheng Chubi, Li Siwen, Wei Chi Baolin and Fang Yiai also came once, but they went back when they couldn't find anyone.

"By the way, Steward Wang of the Grange is here again..."

PS: I struggled to write this kind of plot. I revised it several times, but the effect was not satisfactory. I originally planned to write two chapters, but it took more than three hours for one chapter. Let’s just have one chapter today and three chapters tomorrow.
