Happiness Consist in Contentment

"It's not that I dare not kill you, but you are still useful to me. However, this use is not very big. At least, it is not as important as you think. So..."

Liu Fang raised her finger, shook it slightly, and said, "Don't challenge my patience. I'm very busy, and I don't have time to entangle with you. Understand?"

Tuoba Gangzheng, Tuoba Yaohong understood, Tuoba Yaoheng understood even more, the three of them froze and nodded.

"Very good. Now, go back to sleep obediently. Also, don't think about running away. Next time, if I catch you again, you will die. Understand?"

They nodded again in silence, and then Liu Fang waved his hands in satisfaction, and let someone **** them back.

She sneered in her heart: they were afraid they forgot that they still had her poison in their bodies.

"Let someone give them a bowl of ground yellow water."

Chen Fang looked at Liu Fang without knowing why, Liu Fang smiled coldly, and said, "Let them wake up!"

Although he still didn't understand, Chen Fang respectfully responded and let people prepare to go.

"Is everyone tied up?"

"It's already tied up."

"Then take them all away. In addition, all that can be used here can be dragged back, so don't waste them."

"Yes, girl." Chen Fang thought about it and said, "That's where Luo Zheng is."

Liu Fang looked calm, and said lightly: "Let him see Tuoba Yaoheng and the three of them first, and then let him come to see me."

"Yes, girl."

"There's no need to say more about him. Go ahead and explain it."

"Yes. This subordinate understands."

After that, Liu Fang rode Feng Zhi back to the barracks to deal with the follow-up.

Tonight is still a sleepless night.

...

Liucheng government office.

Murong Zhuo and his party were placed here.

He had been blowing cold wind during the day, and he started to get feverish as soon as he came back. If Liu Fang remembered him later and sent a military doctor, I am afraid he would have to lie on the bed and cover the quilt now.

"Your Highness, drink the medicine."

Murong Zhuo frowned, took the medicine bowl in Hong Bao's hand, and suffocated the extremely bitter medicine in one mouthful.

"Although this medicine is not easy to drink, the effect is very good. The servant also drank a pair of it, and immediately became a lot more energetic..."

Murong Zhuo twitched the corners of his mouth and watched him babble, "It's the people here who don't let you dump it at will, right?"

Hong Bao choked and looked at Murong Zhuo resentfully, "Your Highness, you are afraid of hardship, and so are the servants."

Murong Zhuo sneered, "Hmph, if you were in Kyoto, would you be so honest?"

Hong Bao was speechless:

Who made the guards here so fierce, slapping the table in front of him at every turn. He can smash the table with one slap. He is very delicate and expensive, so why is he afraid of being beaten?

Murong Zhuo didn't bother about this too much, and asked him, "Then the Liu family girl has come to the door?"

Hong Bao shook his head, "His Royal Highness, what time is it now? How could someone from a girl's family come here at this time?"

Murong Zhuo thought about it, too.

"Hey, by the way, you went out to see this Liucheng today, are the people okay?"

Hong Bao shook his head and said, "The slaves didn't go out today. Besides, we won't be allowed to go out here!"

When Murong Zhuo heard this, he immediately sat up straight, "What did you say? You haven't been out today?"

Hong Bao nodded, "Yes. The Ministry of Rites also wanted to check the barracks or investigate on the street, but the soldiers guarding the door wouldn't let them go out. Even if they wanted meals, they could only give them away. Come in, our people are not allowed to move around at will."

Murong Zhuo frowned, "It seems that they are guarding us. But why?"

Today's funeral, obviously, is to dispose of them! Let them take a good look at how many people died in this battle in Liucheng!

This is the second girl from the Liu family fighting for the initiative, and Murong Zhuo understands.

However, shouldn't she strike while the iron is hot and let them make a good unannounced visit in the city, and then talk to them about it?

But now, she strictly forbids them to walk around to investigate, why is this?

Murong Zhuo didn't think that the other party would treat them favorably because they were sent by the emperor, or dislike them easily: the former was to please, and the latter was relying on his current reputation in Liucheng to suppress them to achieve their goals.

Judging from Liu Fang's previous great achievements, she is not a short-sighted person, and her thoughts and thoughts are very meaningful, even the kind that kills many birds with one stone.

If she was so flippant in her attitude towards their group, she would have let him down too much.

Murong Zhuo looked at the moonlight outside the door, so what did she want? What the **** is she doing?

He thought about it for a while and said to Hong Bao, "You let people pay attention to the movement outside."

Hong Bao looked blank, "Your Highness, why are you paying attention?"

Murong Zhuo was annoyed, "Is it possible to listen to the corner of the wall?"

Don't let them move around at will, then just don't move around, and listen to the movement next to the wall, and they don't get in the way.

Hong Bao was stunned, hurriedly responded, and went out to arrange

.

Murong Zhuo watched him go, lay down, and looked at the curtain on the top of the bed: Hope, she won't let herself down.

Early the next morning, Hong Bao came over to report, "Your Highness, last night, it was lively outside."

Murong Zhuo was instantly refreshed, he sat up, looked at Hong Bao, and said, "Come on."

"What's going on, our people didn't see it. However, they all heard the sound of carriages and horses, and they seemed to arrest people, and they didn't stop all night."

Murong Zhuo suddenly understood: he just said it!

Funeral in the whole city, when can't it, have to wait for him to come before sending it?

It is so! It is so!

He grinned, this second Liu family girl is really amazing!

A funeral not only made them, the imperial officials, completely shocked, but also made the barbarian troops outside the city relax their vigilance, and then she was caught cheaply...

As expected of a heroine who dared to go into battle alone at the age of thirteen, slashed and slaughtered the strong of the barbarian tribe, resisted the army of 500,000 barbarians, and defended the three cities in the frontier land!

It really lives up to its name!

Murong Zhuo still doesn't know, Liu Fang is not only like that, she also cleaned up the spies in the Liucheng guards, and once again arrested Tuoba Yaoheng and others, completely destroyed their belief in escape!

It even defeated Tuoba Yaoheng's self-confidence!

In other words, the last one is Liu Fang's ultimate goal.

Even if he didn't know all Liu Fang's plans, Murong Zhuo was still agitated, and said to Hong Bao, "Quick, wait for me to wash and eat, I want to go see our heroine quickly!"

Hong Bao hurriedly responded and let someone come in to wait on him to wash and change his clothes. After breakfast, he went out briskly.

Unfortunately, when I walked to the door, I was stopped by the guard sergeant.

Murong Zhuo was not unhappy, he just said to the sergeant who stopped him: "I want to see your girl, go and report it."

The sergeant guarding said with a cold face: "The girl is resting, everyone must not disturb! Wait!"

Murong Zhuo: …

Hong Bao looked at his master's face, and was about to step forward to reprimand the sergeant, but Murong Zhuo raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, I'll wait."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back.

On the way, Hong Bao looked at him and said cautiously, "Your Highness, these soldiers are all rough people. Don't have the same knowledge as them and make yourself angry."

Murong Zhuo shook his head and said, "I'm not angry. I just feel..."

He stopped and looked up at this high place, which was completely different from Kyoto.

The sky felt the cold wind.

"I just feel that they are so simple-minded and so pure."

Just because the other party saved Liucheng and the frontier land, they admired from the bottom of their hearts, respected from the bottom of their hearts, and considered her all the time, even at the expense of offending high officials and dignitaries, even at the expense of their own lives!

This kind of emotion shocked him!

It also makes him ashamed: as the prince of this country, he seems to have never done anything for these simple people.

They were right to be scornful of him, and they were right to worship her the most: because she was the one who saved them when they were in danger!

And he? Oh, at that time, it was still far away in Kyoto, with a high bed and soft pillows, and I was drunk and dreaming!

So, what right does he have to be angry?

It was he, the crown prince of a country, who did not do well!

He has no face to face his people! He is ashamed of them!

...

Liu Fang's body really reached a limit. After a busy night, she couldn't stand it crookedly on the couch and fell asleep like this.

When Chen Fang and Lin Ya met, they couldn't help feeling distressed. They didn't dare to disturb her. They covered her with a quilt and lighted a charcoal fire.

When she woke up, it was already noon. Lin Ya was cooking hot food. Seeing her wake up, she quickly said, "Girl, the food is hot, so hurry up and eat."

Liu Fang raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "What time is it now?"

"It's time to eat." Lin Ya twisted the hot cotton handkerchief and handed it to her, "Girl, don't think about it so much, just eat quickly. Eat as you wish."

Liu Fang's heart warmed, she reluctantly took the cotton handkerchief, wiped her face, and ate a hot meal obediently.

"It would be nice if girls were so good in the future."

Lin Ya looked at Liu Fang with emotion and made Liu Fang almost spit out the rice in her mouth.

"You seem younger than me, don't you? Lin Ya."

Lin Ya pouted, "Yes, I'm one year younger than the girl, but girl, you are less obedient than my four-year-old brother when you are busy."

Liu Fang shook her head and laughed, "I'm busy with something."

"I know, but, girl. You can't eat, drink, or sleep, right? You're human too, and you'll get tired. If you're exhausted, what should we do? What about Liucheng?"

Lin Ya's eyes turned red as she spoke, "Girl, if it wasn't for you, my brother and I might have died. So, you must not be tired. I'm afraid!"

Liu Fang looked at Lin Ya, sighed, and nodded solemnly, "Okay, I will listen to you in the future. Is this the head office?"

Lin Ya then burst into tears, wiped her tears, and said, "Well, just be obedient girl."

Liu Fang smiled and hurriedly finished the rice in the bowl, and drank a large bowl of mutton soup. This was specially cooked by the guys in the barracks, just to make up for Liu Fang.

After Liu Fang drank the mutton soup, she said to Lin Ya, "Didn't you bring the barbarians' food and grass back last night? Are there sheep in it?"

☆、Other types are content and happy to wear

Lin Ya nodded as she cleaned up the dishes, "Yes!"

Liu Fang suddenly laughed and said, "Then let them all kill, let's drink mutton soup today, let the whole army and the whole city taste it, the barbarian's mutton is not fragrant!"

Lin Ya happily agreed, packed her things and went out to tell the guys.

Chen Fang then opened the curtain and walked in, "Girl, everything has been dragged back. There are 80,000 good war horses alone, and there are countless other grains. Our granary is full. It’s still not enough. According to your wishes, food has been distributed to the people in the city. This year, we can all have a good year in the city!”

Liu Fang smiled and nodded, "Of course, there is more food and grass for half a million people. That's fine, so that the people can be happy too."

Chen Fang smiled and nodded.

"By the way, are those people arranged?"

Chen Fang bowed and replied: "It's all arranged. They were all dragged to the army field to open up wasteland. The girl's medicine is very good. Some resisted, and they immediately became poisoned, and the death was tragic. The rest Those people are honest now."

"By the way, don't give them food, only water. These people will die when they die, and it's useless anyway."

Liu Fang said indifferently, "What about the third prince and the others?"

Chen Fangdao: "I'm all honest. I had pain all night after I poured Dihuang water yesterday. Now I'm honest."

Liu Fang nodded with satisfaction, "Where's Luo Zheng?"

Chen Fang paused before saying, "He, almost committed suicide, was stopped by Liu Ping, and is now kneeling outside."

Liu Fang looked calm and said lightly, "Where is the imperial envoy?"

"Last night they listened to the wall all night. This morning, the leader of the team said they wanted to see you. Girl, my subordinates heard that this time the prince came in person."

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows, oh? Yeah?

She remembered the little white face she saw yesterday. Could it be him?

Is he the Prince of Dayan?

Interesting.

Liu Fang tapped her knees with her fingers, "Let's meet you later."

"Yes, girl."

...

Murong Zhuo was having lunch, and was listening to Hong Bao talking about the fact that the soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtering the live sheep brought back by the barbarians together, and when they were preparing to cook mutton soup, they heard that Liu Fang came to visit.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, finally seeing this busy man.

He made tea himself on the couch and waited for Liu Fang to come in.

As soon as Liu Fang entered the door, she saw Murong Zhuo, dressed in white, with an excellent appearance and a godlike appearance.

He brewed tea leisurely.

"Little girl Liu Fang, meet the Crown Prince, Your Highness Wan'an."

She bowed her hands.

Murong Zhuo looked at it, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to signal, "Miss Liu is very polite, please take a seat."

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows, this prince is a bit interesting.

She met for the first time, and she didn't give a big gift, and the other party didn't feel any pain or itching, which was something she didn't expect.

However, in no hurry.

Liu Fang walked leisurely across from Murong Zhuo, sat down calmly, and watched him slowly make tea.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

Hong Bao stood aside, looked at his master, and at the beautiful woman, then stood with his head bowed, as quiet as a chicken.

It's not something he can conjecture in the minds of these adults, he just needs to be honest.

Murong Zhuo poured two cups of hot tea and pushed a cup to Liu Fang, "Miss Liu, try it and see if it suits your taste?"

Liu Fang picked up the teacup and put it under her nose to smell it. The fragrance was fragrant and the aftertaste was long. It was a rare good tea.

As expected of the prince, there are many good things.

She took a slow sip from the teacup, and relaxed her body and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Murong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think of Miss Liu?"

Liu Fang replied leisurely, "Good tea, good water, and the brewing is just right! Your Highness is highly skilled, and the little girl admires it."

It's utterly perfunctory and insincere.

Murong Zhuo smiled slightly, "Really? But looking at Miss Liu, she doesn't seem to agree."

Liu Fang shook the teacup in his hand and said, "One or two of this kind of tea is worth a thousand gold. And a thousand gold, here, can feed and clothe a hundred people. Your Highness, just now, the little girl will take the money of these hundred people. The rations and clothing are all eaten into the stomach. Moreover, it is just a sip of tea."

Of course, the statement is exaggerated, but it is also true.

Murong Zhuo was silent, looking at the still steaming tea, he said quietly, "Did you come here this time to cry and be poor?"

Liu Fang shook her head. She looked at the white snow outside the window and said to Murong Zhuo, "Look, Your Highness, it snows here almost every day. And how long does this weather last, Your Highness?"

Murong Zhuo turned his head and looked out the window, "The topography says that the winter snow in Western Xinjiang will not end until April next year."

Topographical records, the geographical book of Dayan, are specialized in describing the topography and weather and customs of all parts of the country objectively.

Liu Fang nodded, she looked at the snow outside the window, and said quietly: "It will stop in April next year, but it will take May to completely melt the snow."

She looked back at Murong Zhuo and said, "That temple

Let us know, how much grain can the people here harvest in one year? "

Murong Zhuo looked back at her and shook his head silently.

Liu Fang lowered his eyelids and said softly, "We plant two seasons a year, one harvest in summer, and one in winter, but one mu of land has only 100 catties of dry food per season, 30% pays taxes, 50% supports the soldiers in the city, and only 20% remains. , eat at home."

Murong Zhuo's eyes widened in disbelief, "This, the law does not require the people to pay military rations!"

Liu Fang looked at the clear tea soup in the teacup in his hand, and said quietly: "There is no law. Neither do the officials here.

However, in order to survive.

To keep my family and children alive.

The people here drag most of the food and forage saved by their families to the military camp every year and give them to them.

Just so that when winter comes, these soldiers can have enough to eat and have the strength to resist the barbarians outside the city. "

Murong Zhuo was silent, as if there was a ball of cotton stuffed in his throat, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Hongbao was also shocked by such a cruel reality: this, only 100 catties of dry food per mu, crushed only 70 catties of grain. This, this has to support the guards and soldiers, this, this, how should these people live?

Liu Fang's voice was still calm, but what she said seemed to be bloody, cruel and sad.

"Here, people start to eat dry biscuits every winter month.

Your Highness probably doesn't understand what a dry biscuit is.

Dry cakes are: every year they grind up the dry food, and the leftover slag, shells, and crumbs are mixed together and re-ground with a stone grinder over and over again until they can be mixed into a cake.

It is then boiled and cooked, and then exposed to the hot sun. It's dry, hard, and almost ready to be used as masonry, and that's it.

Finally, these dry biscuits are their winter rations.

If they can survive, they can survive the difficult winter months, and they can also escape with them, so that they will not run out of food on the road. "

Murong Zhuo listened, and slowly and tightly clenched his hands. He lowered his eyelids and asked quietly, "Don't they have any other way of living?"

Liu Fang raised his eyelids and looked at him, "No more. Here, they only have this way of living, and there is no other way to live. Even if it is such a difficult way to live, sometimes they can't keep it. This time, They almost didn't save their lives."

If it weren't for her quick response and her follow-up series of arrangements, even if Liucheng could keep it, it would still be quite tragic, and the survivors would definitely be less than 20%.

this is the truth!

It's not that Liu Fang is so good, but the fact is: she has lived a carefree life since she was a child, and she has no worries about eating and drinking. If you have the strength, there is a ghost.

Even if everyone is talented, it's no use if they can't eat enough.

How powerful is Liu Fang?

perhaps.

But what really highlights her so defiant is that the military and civilians here are all malnourished and lacking in strength, not really how strong Liu Fang is.

She just entrusted her with a good family and a good father. She has been well nourished since she was a child.

—There is nothing that can really be achieved overnight. There must be a process to cultivate from a mortal body/mortal to an immortal. If you are constantly hungry in the middle, you will only starve to death, and you will not be able to cultivate anything.

Not to mention that what Liu Fang possesses is only primary martial arts, entry level martial arts, and she is only a mortal.

If she had been hungry and malnourished since she was a child, she would not be as good as she is today.

Therefore, Liucheng's military and civilians are so vulnerable. The fundamental reason is that they cannot eat enough, their nutrition cannot keep up, they do not grow well enough, and their bodies lack strength. It should be said that their strength does not match their bodies.

Just like a computer, if the motherboard doesn't match the host, the monitor is useless, no matter how good it is.

The fundamental reason for such a situation is the greed of the officials in the capital. Under the layer-by-layer exploitation, the military rations and armaments are here, and there is almost no one in ten. How can such a terrible **** not be defeated? How can the people here have a way to live?

Seriously, it's amazing that they can stick to this land from generation to generation!

So, to be honest, even if Liu Fang allowed them to go out and walk around the city, the military and civilians in Liucheng would not be very welcome to these so-called imperial officials.

The people living here, who do not know that it is because of the high officials in Kyoto that the soldiers here have no food or clothes to wear. So much so that they have to take out food from their own rations to support them, otherwise, they will wait for all the people in a city to die.

The people can bear it, but they are not all fools, okay? Even if you have never read a book, have never traveled far, or have seen the world, you still have a brain and an IQ.

The nobles above think the bottom

Idiots are really stupid, and their ideas are really stupid.

The people of Dayan can still survive now, but what if they can't survive any day...

Then these so-called fools, they will not be so obedient, let these people trample them, trample them - who will not rebel? Anyway, it is also death. Wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to kill these corrupt officials and then die?

So, ah, how many slave revolts and peasant revolts in history, these are all because of survival.

If you can live in peace, the people's requirements are actually very low: you can live, you can live a good life.

Unfortunately…

Liu Fang lowered her eyes, most of the nobles do not understand this truth.

Maybe they understand, but they will never despise those so-called fools.

The contempt in their hearts allows them to treat them at will, trample them until they can't bear it, until they resist and break out!

Liu Fang sneered, these so-called nobles, what they eat, drink and wear, are all the humblest and most despised commoners who cultivate with their own hands and work hard.

But they wear brocade clothes and eat delicious food, but they will never remember that it is the people who support them, so they can enjoy luxury and enjoyment, and they can only enjoy brocade clothes and jade food!

To tell the truth, the administration of officials like Dayanguo will have to be finished sooner or later.

The author has something to say: New Year's Day plus two chapters!

Happy New Year! Ladies and gentlemen.

I hope your new year will come true, healthy and happy!

thanks for your support! love you oh!
