Chapter 53: The old man cave and the death ditch (1)

A county magistrate can hire many divisions.

Among them, the most important one is money, grain, and the master of criminal justice.

When they saw Zhu Cijiong's magical method, why did the two of them let him go?

Not to mention anything else, just this skill that turns decay into magical medical skills is enough to make the two of them fall in love with each other.

What Zhou Changqing got was Master Xing, which is the most important position. Zhou Changqing opened his mouth to give in to this position...

Zhu Cijiong repeatedly stated that he was unwilling to get involved in the officialdom, either just listen to him or continue to travel around the world, and Chen Mei and the others had to give up.

The seal from Master Qian and Liang was given to Zhu Cijiong.

Zhu Cijiong accepted the title of Master Qianliang. He said that although he would not be in the county government office, he would help Chen Mei to manage the townships in Beishan District, Neixiang County.

With this, coupled with Zhang Shili's position as a county magistrate, the countryside of Neixiang is already the world of Zhu Cijiong.

...

The Dashan Village is located in the southeast corner of the Danjiangkou Reservoir in later generations. It is surrounded by mountains and has the remains of the Chu Great Wall, with a lot of ancient sites and a terrain.

Zhang Siyuan quickly came up to him: "Your Highness, how about you?"

On the first day after the county magistrate's son got sick, Zhang Siyuan received news.

For Zhang, Baishui, as long as they want to know, a master in the local government farts, the Zhang family will get the news within an hour.

In fact, many old Chinese doctors know how to treat earthworms...

But - Zhang has put down his words, which doctor dares to be unable to get along with the Zhang family?

The Zhang family is not only a big family in this generation, but also awesome for generations!

And the county magistrate...

If you work for two jobs in one place, you will have to roll the bed and get out of here!

"It's time to capture it." Zhu Cijiong smiled and took out the seal in his arms.

"Good! Good!"

Zhang Siyuan sighed with a high high, but frowned and said, "Your Highness, this trip is too dangerous after all. If your Highness is seen through..."

Zhu Cijiong took off the winter warm hat from his head, held two fake whips on the hat, and played with it in his hands.

Hearing this, he laughed:

"My uncle was too worried. Those who followed me were all good players from the Zhang family, and the nineteen knights who followed me all the way back were secretly guarding me. Not to mention a small county magistrate's office, even the palace was still free to enter and exit!"

"Your Highness loves to take risks too much, this risk is too great!" Zhang Siyuan was still a little worried.

"Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong!" Zhu Cijiong threw his hat to the old eunuch who came up to him: "I'm waiting for a while, even if you let me take risks, I won't go!"

Zhang Siyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, the caravan has brought back the sweet potatoes and other items you asked me to find, and there is also something called pumpkin."

"Pumpkins are a good thing!" Zhu Cijiong smiled and said, "Uncle, this is a treasure. This pumpkin can be planted along the ditch, regardless of the size of the plot, and the yield is not low!"

He pointed to the foot of the mountain: "Before, I was deeply saddened by the fall of my country, and I was confused every day, and I actually ignored the people's livelihood under my feet. Today..."

Zhu Cijiong sighed: "The people's livelihood is hard!"

He sat in the sedan chair, and the people along the way, and those wearing shoes, only eleven, more than 90% of the people walked barefoot...

Even, including the heavy burden!

From the point to the surface, you can infer what kind of living standards the local people are.

Speaking of this, Zhang Siyuan's face was not good-looking either.

"Your Highness, this neijing is pretty good. If you pass the Zhejiang River and enter the Yunyang territory, the people's livelihood will be difficult there!"

Zhang Siyuan lamented: "After passing Zhejiang River, the mountains there are even bigger, and they are known as seven mountains, two waters and half apart land..."

He took a deep breath. A man in his forties had tears in his eyes:

"There are few fields there and the resources are not abundant. I worked hard for a year and couldn't even get a full one. Once the elderly in the people can't do their jobs, they will look for a cave on the mountain and place people in it..."

"It is called Lao Ren's Cave, but in fact..."

Zhang Siyuan lamented: "When outsiders asked, they said, "I will give you a meal and add a brick and stone, and when will I die of old age before I seal the hole, but in fact..."

"If it is an ordinary family, they will send three meals before they can block the entrance of the cave and let the old man starve to death. If it is a poor family..."

He wiped his tears viciously: "After a bowl of porridge, the hole door will be sealed!"

"During the Ming Dynasty, Yunyang was included in the capital during the Chenghua period, and he also visited the door to worship households to create a civil book. During this period, officials asked - why are there no elderly people in the village?"

"The villagers dare not tell the truth, and say that the mountains are large and dense forests are dense. The elderly are lost in the mountains and forests. During the period of being lost, the famous people die in the ditches..."

Zhang Siyuan lowered his head and prevented Zhu Cijiong from seeing his face. His voice had already changed. His nasal sound was very heavy, and he even continued to choke:

"These old people are not able to do so. In order to save food and let the next generation survive, they have to die and inherit their father and son. The ancestors have committed suicide for generations!"

"I've been suffering for a lifetime, but in the end I'll lose my life!"

“…”

Zhu Cijiong was shocked.

He's heard of this story.

In his previous life, he had heard this story at a friend from Danjiangkou, and even the grandmother of the buddy's wife was put into the old man's cave.

If his father-in-law hadn't been able to get over his conscience, and had carried it back to the old man, and went out to work the next year, saving food and earning money to support the family, his grandmother would have been gone in the past nineties...

This guy said that his grandmother is over 90 years old and she is still very strong and can feed chickens to her family!

My friend said this story with a smile and said that the current policy is good. His father-in-law was arrested without a license and lost to 80 kilograms in three months...

...

land!

It's land again!

Damn land!

...

After all, why did this custom disappear in the future?

In the final analysis, it is the prevalence of working.

In some places, even if the yield per mu is 10,000 kilograms, it is difficult to support the people - because they are less than five cents of the land per capita!

...

"My uncle will choose some young people from the family and then look for some helpless young men from the street."

Zhu Cijiong was a little excited.

He could foresee that for a long time, he would be unable to change this situation, and at most he would make one or two improvements...

Zhang Siyuan covered his face and left.

Your Highness has grown up...

However, he must know the people's livelihood!

This is what Zhang Yan asks him for.

It was also Mr. Chongzhen's dying instructions...
