Chapter 1041 Grain Festival
Why would brother ask such a question?
Jiang Liu looked straight into his brother's eyes and replied seriously, "Of course not! I was a little surprised to hear his brother say that after Teng Li was redeemed by his father with 150,000 stone of grain, he might have killed his father to seize power. King Changhe borrowed the road to Mohe to grab our disaster relief food first. Yilik and Tengli learned that we had found the hidden food, and brought troops to grab it later. If we hadn't found the hidden food, Suzhou would meet this winter. Thousands of people died of cold and starvation! They are not benevolent and unrighteous, why should we talk to them about benevolence, righteousness and morality? Let them kill each other, and we can take Yongchang without a single soldier, yes Brother is resourceful."
What kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality to the enemy? Regardless of conspiracy or conspiracy, as long as it can strike the enemy without hurting oneself, it is a good conspiracy!
Jiang Ling had a light in his eyes and said with a bright smile, "Liu'er is more resourceful if he can find hidden grain to solve the danger in Suzhou."
Jiang Liuxiao, who was eating candy, rolled his eyes, "With this food, I can stay and spend the New Year with you and Daddy!"
Jiang Ling happily agreed, "Now we have food, I will cook maltose for you during the Chinese New Year."
According to the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, when the Stove King ascended to the sky, every household would put maltose on the stove to "block" the stove lord's mouth, so that after listening to the gossip on the stove for a year, the stove lord would not be able to open his mouth. Open your mouth and speak ill of each family in front of the Jade Emperor.
Jiang Liu laughed out loud, "I'm not the stove king, so I don't need to eat maltose. Big steamed buns with white flour are enough, I can eat two in one go."
These days, Jiang Liu only eats two meals a day, and the taste of hunger is very uncomfortable.
Looking at his sister's slender fingers, Jiang Ling felt even more distressed, "Okay, let Nanny Zhao cook steamed buns for you tonight."
Steam for me? Jiang Liu's smile froze on his face, "Brother is going back to Border Town today?"
"I'm here to see you off, and there are military affairs at hand, so I have to rush back as soon as possible." Seeing Jiang Liu's reluctance, Jiang Ling coaxed softly, "These 500,000 stone grains can greatly boost the military's heart, and it will soon be Can defeat the Khitan Army. When they retire, I will come back to accompany you to prepare for the New Year and the New Year."
Jiang Liu nodded vigorously, "Okay! Brother, go to retire the Khitan Army, Daddy will deal with the Yongchang Army, and I will continue to look for hidden supplies!"
Seeing her energetic and lovely appearance, Jiang Ling laughed out loud, "I don't know if today's matter reaches Kang'an, whether Mr. Storyteller is included in "Jiang Xianxian Thousand Mile Kills" or "Jiang Liuniang Picks Huangyan Village alone". "
When she was in Kang'an, Jiang Liu put Zhang Wenjiang's efforts in finding the remains; this time, her efforts in finding food in Suzhou could not be dismissed, because Suzhou officials and people saw it in the eyes. Add intelligence on top of beauty, Jiang Liu will be more dazzling, and there will be more men who want to marry her like crucian carp crossing the river.
Jiang Ling clenched his fist, he must kill Yelu Hulu with his own hands, and then capture the King of Khitan and hold him in front of his adoptive father before he can open his mouth and propose to his adoptive father.
After sent Jiang Ling away, Jiang Er Ye was busy arranging for people to deliver the grain, and Jiang Liu was busy looking for another 500,000 stone to store grain. Until the sun went down, she couldn't find the third granary, so she had to set off with her father to bring the grain back to Suzhou.
Outside Wanggangling, which was guarded by officers and soldiers of the Zuowu Guards, densely packed with people. Seeing Jiang Erye come out, the yellow-faced and skinny people rushed forward, full of hope and cautiously asking when the food would be distributed.
Jiang Erye raised his arms high, clasped his fists in the direction of Kang An, and said loudly, "Long live, this batch of military rations will be used for disaster relief. At the latest five days, this official will honor the emperor's order and will provide disaster relief. The food is distributed to every household.”
The people were overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed and cheered.
From Wanggangling back to Suzhou for more than 50 li, wherever the grain-carrying team passed, the roadside was full of people. The same words, Jiang Erye tirelessly said over and over again, and the people cheered one after another. After dark, the people spontaneously lit torches and stood by the roadside to illuminate the road for grain trucks.
The road illuminated by torches can't see the end when looking back, and can't see the end when looking forward. Jiang Liu was shocked by such a scene. She deeply felt that the fire dragon formed by the torches was a thousand times more beautiful than the lanterns on Kang'an's New Year's Day, because the torches were full of vitality!
Although the weather is cold and the moon is cold at the moment, although the earth is thirsty and cracked, Jiang Liu just feels that Suzhou has passed the famine. Jiang Liu was not the only one who felt this way. The people holding torches sang, danced and laughed heartily.
This scene was not only written by Wang Wenqiao, who went out of the city to watch the food team, in "Jiang Xianxian Thousand Miles Killed", but also written into poems and songs by Suzhou scholars, and was also recorded by Suzhou officials. In the state annals, county annals.
Wanggangling's 500,000 stone of grain took three days to complete. The fifth day of the eleventh lunar month in the tenth year of Jinglong was remembered by the people of Suzhou. After that, the people would light torches and sing and dance on the roadside to celebrate their rebirth. On the fifth day of the first month of November, it has become a festival that belongs to Suzhou: Grain Festival.
There is the liveliness of the Grain Festival, which is not lost to the age of Asia.
Of course, these are for later.
The elated Jiang Erye brought food and a daughter, and was sent back to the county seat by the people holding torches all the way to the county seat.
In the secret letter, Jiang Erye explained in detail how his little girl found out about the hidden grain, how Yilik and Tengli came to **** the grain, what kind of strategy his son had made, and how he planned to get back what was stolen by Mole. Disaster relief food, disintegrate the alliance between Mole and Huihe.
Finally, Jiang Erye described in great detail the joy of the people of Suzhou when they saw the food: the people held up the torches, and the mountains shouted long live, the sound of which was loud.
Finally, Jiang Erye wrote emotionally: Long live, no need to worry about the people of Suzhou. The minister Jiang Feng guarantees with the head of the item: From today to March next year, no one in Suzhou will die of starvation again.
Jiang Erye put down his pen, wiped away the gushing tears, and solemnly handed the secret letter to Qing Yan, "Send it to Kang An as soon as possible, so that Long Live will be happy with you."
After taking a bath and changing clothes, Jiang Liu happily held a plate of steaming steamed buns, and was about to deliver it to his father, but was stopped by Jiang Houer who rushed over: "Liu girl, the second master has been overworked these days, lying on his back. I fell asleep on the table. The villain thought, why not let the second master sleep for a while before having dinner. "
Jiang Liu, who was holding the steamed bun, was full of heartache.
Five days later, the thick letter was delivered to Emperor Jinghe. Seeing that there was no Jiang Feng's seal on the lacquer seal of the secret letter, Jing Hedi was heartbroken, hurriedly opened the seal, and took out the letter. After seeing the familiar Xiaozhuan on the letter paper, Jing Hedi's loosened brows quickly dyed with joy, and after saying a few "good" words, he slowly restrained his expression. When he saw the last page, Jing He Di actually got wet eyes.
A secret letter. Long live, I can read it with emotions. Curious Yang Feng stepped forward to pour tea, glanced at the letter, and found that the letter was not in Jiang Feng's Xiaozhuan, but in neat italics:
Chen Qing Yan bowed: Lord Jiang returned to the city with grain and immediately picked up a pen to report the good news. After handing the secret letter to the minister, Lord Jiang fell asleep at the desk, but the minister called him three times, but failed to wake him up. Therefore, this letter is sealed by the minister and cannot use the seal of Lord Jiang. Please forgive me long live.
