Chapter 762 The King of War Descended from the Sky
Long Chengye stared at her, his eyes fixed on her.

"Xiaoyan, you still have this skill."

As everyone knows, many years later, he still deeply remembers this scene.

"Look at how many times my mother has baked it, and I'm groping for it."

Yan Xiaosi replied while sprinkle salt and cumin powder on the almost roasted fish.

The scent of cumin fills the air.

After eating corn paste and wheat paste for several days in a row, the few people swallowed involuntarily.

"Brother Xiaoyan's grilled fish is very fragrant."

Niu Niu was already so greedy that her saliva flowed to the corner of her mouth.

The first fish was grilled, and Yan Xiaosi didn't put chili on purpose.

"This is Niuniu's."

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoyan."

Niuniu was about to reach out to pick it up, but was stopped by the old man.

"Girl, let the guests eat first."

Niuniu pursed her mouth.

"Brother Xiaoyan is hard at catching fish, and grilling fish is hard work. Brother Xiaoyan eats first."

The corners of Yan Xiaosi's mouth twitched.

What a sensible kid.

"This one doesn't have chili peppers, brother Xiaoyan roasted it specially for Niuniu."

The old man reached out to take it.

"Young master, you are used to Niu Niu."

Yan Xiaosi picked up another fish and continued to grill, while calmly answering the old man: "Niu Niu is a cute and sensible child, I like it."

Thinking of living here for several days, I have never seen Niuniu's parents.

Long Chengye suddenly asked: "Old man, did Niuniu's parents go to work in Xijing City? How often will they come back?"

Speaking of Niuniu's parents, the old couple couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Huang, Niuniu misses her father and mother too."

When Niuniu got the grilled fish, she had a bright smile just now, but when she heard Long Chengye say her parents, the little girl immediately pursed her mouth, and her big eyes were also wet.

"Only during Chinese New Year, my father and mother will come back to see Niuniu. Wow, Niuniu really misses my father and mother so much."

I didn't expect that I asked a word casually, which made the little girl cry sadly.

A trace of guilt flashed in Long Chengye's eyes, and he continued to ask in embarrassment: "Your village is only a day's walk away from Xijing City, why does Niuniu's parents come back only after the Chinese New Year?"

The old man sighed and replied: "There are five people in the family, and there are only two people's fields, and the food grown is not enough to eat. In order to support the whole family, Niuniu's father and mother can only go to Xijing City to find something to do, but outside things It’s not easy to do, the boss is harsh, and only allows holidays during the Chinese New Year, so Niuniu can see her parents all year round, just during the Chinese New Year, hey!”

Hearing the old man's complaints, Long Chengye subconsciously clenched his fist, and several veins appeared on the back of his hand.

The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven are living in such misery, let alone the people in other places.

"Old man, is this also the case with other families in your village?"

The old man nodded weakly.

"Yes, the situation of every family is roughly the same. Good fields are surrounded by dignitaries in Xijing City. If ordinary people want to have enough land to grow, they can only rent from those dignitaries. At the end of the day, there is not much harvested food except the rent, so it is better to go out to find a job."

The more the old man talked, the more Long Chengye felt that he was a useless emperor.

"Old man, how much rent do those high-ranking officials usually charge tenants?"

In the past few years, the son and daughter-in-law have been doing a certain job outside, and there is no land to rent. The old man recalled it carefully before answering: "If you have a conscience, you will receive [-]% to [-]%; if you have no conscience, you will receive [-]% to [-]%. "

"In other words, the common people who rent land to grow grain can only get at most half of the grain after a year of exhaustion."

Long Chengye was already gnashing his teeth in resentment.

"According to the laws of our Great Chu Dynasty, landlords can only collect [-]% of a year's harvest from tenants. Those landlords collected rent indiscriminately. Didn't anyone go to the Yamen to file a complaint?"

"The yamen are all working for the officials, so they don't care about the lives of the people."

This time it was Yan Xiaosi who spoke.

Yan Xiaosi sprinkled cumin powder on the fish while talking lightly.

"Besides, the landlords in Xijing City, if they are picked out randomly, they all have rich backgrounds. Let alone ordinary yamen dare not intervene, I am afraid that even the Jingzhao government yamen dare not intervene."

"hateful."

Long Chengye took a deep breath.

"A group of corrupt officials who are fish and meat."

After getting rid of the Queen Mother Wei's party and the power of the two major vassals, he must rectify the court order so that the people of the Great Chu Dynasty have clothes to wear and food to eat.

Yan Xiaosi was afraid that he would get angry and reveal his identity, so he quickly stuffed the grilled fish in front of him.

"We can't handle the affairs of the world, so hurry up and eat fish."

Long Chengye calmed down his anger, took the fish handed over by Yan Xiaosi, took a breath, it was quite fragrant, even more fragrant than the fish grilled in the imperial dining room.

Hungry, he opened his mouth and took a bite.

The tip of his tongue suddenly became hot, hot and hot, which made him burst into tears.

"Yan Xiaosi, how much chili powder did you put in?"

Yan Xiaosi grinned.

“Grilled fish needs to be spicy to be delicious.”

"You are changing, you are hot."

"Isn't it delicious, then return the fish to me."

Yan Xiaosi stretched out his hand to return the fish, but Long Chengye glared at her.

“Although it is quite spicy, it is delicious.”

As everyone knows, many years later, he still remembers the taste of the fish that Yan Xiaosi grilled for him.

Eat and drink enough, the bright moon is already shining in the sky.

Yan Xiaosi sat lazily on the wooden chair, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

The little emperor sat beside her, taking the same pose as her.

"Xiaoyan, what do you think of me?"

Yan Xiaosi didn't look at the little emperor beside him, and replied to the splendid starry sky: "Very good, noble, good-looking, and good-natured."

Receiving such high praise, the little emperor jumped for joy, turned his head, and stared at Yan Xiaosi expectantly.

"Xiaoyan, if you were a girl, would you fall in love with me and marry me?"

Yan Xiaosi was about to answer no, when a black shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and then, a tall and tall man appeared in front of her.

"She won't marry you, you should die as soon as possible."

Long Yu rushed over just in time to hear what the little emperor asked Yan Xiaosi.

This little bastard actually poached his uncle's corner behind his back, luckily he arrived in time.

Long Chengye stared at Long Yu with his eyes wide open, before he spoke for a while: "Uncle, why are you here?"

"If I don't come again, your aunt will be poached by you."

Long Yu took a step forward, stretched out his hand to pick Yan Xiaosi up from the wooden chair, and in front of Long Chengye, hugged Yan Xiaosi's waist tightly with his big hands, and pressed his thin lips against Yan Xiaosi with jealousy. Yan Xiaosi took a hard bite on his lips, swearing his sovereignty.
