Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 311
If he hadn't heard the news on the road that something happened to the river worker, Lu Yange wouldn't have made such an extra trip.

Just three days ago, in Nanyang, a group of river workers ate moldy food and vomited and diarrhea.

It might have been better if he had been sent to a doctor in time, but the people in charge of the river work not only ignored him, but also forbade him from making any noise, and it is said that he even used a whip.

That night, more than a dozen river workers were unconscious.

By the next day, when the errand found out that something was wrong and called the doctor again, it was already too late.

Four or five of the dozen or so river workers who were in a coma the night before had lost their breath. Despite the doctor's best efforts to save them, the last batch of river workers who fell down have died so far, and dozens of others are still alive. Not out of danger.

This time, the moldy food caused nearly a hundred people in a village to be injured to varying degrees.

In order to evade responsibility, these poor men who committed crimes actually wanted to send these corvees back to the village, so that they could send them back to continue to serve in corvee.

"You mean, they only found a doctor, boiled the soup twice and left it alone?"

Winter Solstice bit his lip, and nodded with difficulty: "Yes, I also heard that there are dozens of people who are very sick, and now they can barely stop their diarrhea after taking medicine, but they haven't recovered yet. If they are sent back If you don’t have money to take medicine, if you can’t bear it, maybe sooner or later... you will die.”

"asshole."

Lu Yange pursed his lips, suppressing the anger in his heart: "It's okay, I know."

Lu Yange walked over and asked with a local accent, "Are you from Zhangpu Village?"

Watching Xiao Si's carriage heading towards the Nanyang section of the river embankment, Dong Zhi slapped his head suddenly and ran back.

Now Xiao Si is so cruel, the servants he brings are all armed with knives and whips.

The grain is allocated uniformly by the county. Although it is old grain, it is two years old and will not last longer.

However, if there is mildew in the grain, it is only possible that the grain will have such a situation for at least three or even four years.

One of the young men in good spirits spoke up and asked, "Yeah, who are you looking for?"

Lu Yangge was thinking about things all the way, and when they reached the embankment, she still led Zhexue, and the two walked up to the embankment as if they were taking a walk.

If something really happened, the dog skin of his yamen servant might come in handy.

The food is allocated once every three days and distributed according to the head.

Lu Yange didn't speak, but Zhexue couldn't listen anymore.

In the previous dynasty, the corvee workers did not provide food. They brought food from home, and each place sent people to take turns to cook.

What I am most afraid of is that people are too greedy. Not only will they not be able to eat enough, but they will also replace the food distributed from above with worse ones, such as the mildewed food this time, which caused problems when they were replaced by others.

Everywhere on the embankment was busy cooking and eating, and there was a long queue of people waiting to eat.

If you run into an errand, you have a good heart, don't exchange food, and don't be greedy. There is no problem for everyone to eat two full meals.If you meet someone who is a little bit greedy, if you get a little greedy, you can get half full, which is not bad.

During the period, the driver was replaced by Zhexue, and Chunhua rode a horse and went to nowhere.

It seems that Xiao Si must have gone to the embankment where the accident happened. Why hasn't he changed his meddling temperament since he was a child!
Although Dong Zhi didn't want to cause trouble, but because of his friendship with Xiao Si, he couldn't just watch him cause trouble.

When Lu Yange led Zhexue back to the carriage, Dongzhi stood on the embankment for a long time.

At worst, at worst, he would take off his dog skin and go home to farm.

The Great Shang Dynasty provided two meals for corvee service, two meals for breakfast and lunch, porridge and dry buns in the morning, and dry rice and hot dishes at noon.

The embankment of the Nanyang section is not far from them, only about ten miles away. The news is tightly concealed, and everyone has only vaguely heard about it. As for more, everyone has different opinions, and most people don't know much.

"What's your grandma's name, I'll find out for you later."

Just for these two meals, corvée service has become less difficult.

"Look for my cousin." Lu Yange frowned and thought, "My cousin's surname is Zhang, and he is from the Zhang group. My grandma said that my cousin is called Er Zhuzi or something, but I forgot. I heard that the Zhang group dug the river here. Di, my grandma misses her natal family, so let me ask."

There were not many people in front of one of the shacks, and not only were there not many, but even among the dozens of people who lined up, many of them were pale and crumbling as if they were seriously ill.

Please ask for leave first and then go and have a look. If there is something really going on...

It is precisely because I have suffered that I can empathize with these people more and more.

"Zhang Erzhuzi?"

The reason why Dongzhi was clear was because he had a conversation with the officers and soldiers who brought food, and because he was a yamen servant, no one was on guard against him, so he said more.

He was poor since he was a child. He didn't have enough food and clothing, and he suffered a lot.

Dong Zhi's eyebrows twitched, seeing the whip in Zhe Xue's hand subconsciously moved aside.

Driving on the embankment is not allowed, so you have to detour from below. When you reach the embankment in Nanyang, it is already noon for lunch.

Before the young man could speak, an older man in front of the young man answered, "We have no surnames in the Zhang group, there are only three old ones named Erzhuzi, and at least seven or eight named Zhuzi. , which family's pillars are you looking for?"

Lu Yange didn't stop after getting into the carriage, and led the people directly to the Nanyang section of the river embankment.

Although Winter Solstice was a bit jealous of Zhexue, he still didn't forget to tell Lu Yange: "Xiao Si, you can't control this matter, don't get caught up in the fire at that time."

He felt that Xiaosi seemed to have changed, but he couldn't tell what had changed. The previous Xiaosi was not quite the same as them, but the current Xiaosi had an indescribable feeling.

Lu Yange's eyes widened, his expression was at a loss, "Then what should I do? I have to go back and ask my grandma? It's just that the old man is old, and his memory is not good. I went to find my natal family, and said that my natal family couldn't find it, and if I died, my natal family wouldn't come to bury her!"

Anyway, it is getting better and better, more and more powerful.

"Ah, so many?"

When the older people heard this, their hearts softened. In the past few decades of fleeing famine, no family has many relatives outside.

Zhuzi's name is, don't mention the Zhang group, just stand here and shout, at least a dozen people must agree.

"My grandma's name is Zhang Erya, and her real name is Zhang Hongying, but my grandpa took her nickname, so no one probably knows about it. It happened more than 50 years ago, and my grandma ran out with the family to beg for food, and was later sold to my grandpa as a child. , adoptive, and daughter-in-law, and haven’t been home for decades. I asked someone before, and said that most of the family members are gone. When my grandfather was alive, I asked many people to inquire, and I knew that my uncle was still alive, but not When my grandfather took my grandma to find my natal family, my grandfather passed away, and then my family moved to the capital, this time I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and I just heard..."

"Hey, who are you, who asked you to come."

Lu Yange was trying to remember, when he saw a man in an official uniform approaching aggressively, and started shouting from a long distance away.

"Idle people are not allowed to come in or out here, who told you to come."
