Wen Family Has a Wife

Wen Youshan's saliva was almost drooling, and he ordered a roasted lamb and something similar to flatbread. From the mouth of the dark guard, he knew that this thing was called naan, and it was made of white and black noodles.

He knows white flour, even wheat, and Daqi also has it, but it's too expensive to make white flour, and everyone can't afford it. Most people still grow corn, so he doesn't understand what black noodles are.

Under Xiao Er's enthusiastic explanation, Wen Youshan knew that the black noodles were ground with a kind of grain called wumai, and what it looked like. According to the direction of Xiao Er's finger, the group of people had a good meal and set off in that direction .

It was the farming season at this time, and their goal was the countryside. After only one day of walking, they came across a farmland that could not be seen at a glance, and Wen Youshan was stunned.

Stepping on the sandy ground for a while, looking at Yuanyuan for a while, he murmured: "This is Wumai?"

The hidden guard was obviously a little excited, and urged: "Master, should we ask someone?"

Wen Youshan had this in mind, and was thinking about finding that fellow villager, when they came across an old farmer who was sitting on the ridge of the field wiping his tears.

The people of Tubo are originally dark, and the peasants face the loess and their backs to the sky, and they are tanned like non-chiefs. They look like fifty or sixty in their early thirties, and those in their fifties and sixties look similar to those who have buried themselves in the soil.

The man in front of him was dressed in tatters, crying with despair on his face. For a while, Wen Youshan didn't know how to address him, so he stepped forward and asked, "Old man, what's wrong?"

The man raised his head, his eyes were extremely bright against the background of his dark skin, and he said in Tubo dialect: "Aren't you local?"

The dark guard was depressed for a while, and stepped forward to negotiate: "Master, we are from Daqi, we passed by here, and saw you crying sadly, but are you in trouble?"

When this matter was mentioned, the man continued to wipe away his tears, and sighed: "My family's land was taken back by Mr. Kurban. Without the land, we can't grow food. If we can't pay this year's taxes, our family will become slaves." , woo woo woo..."

Wen Youshan couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this, "Why?"

Under the translation of the hidden guard, the man said sadly: "Master Kurban fell in love with my daughter last year and wanted to marry back to be the concubine of the sixteenth room. Coaxing my daughter to elope with someone, I lost my daughter, and Master Kurban is not happy, so he will confiscate my land."

Wen Youshan was even more puzzled, "If you don't plant his family's land, you can also plant other family's land, and you won't become a slave no matter what."

The man shook his head and burst into tears, "It's useless. There is only one manor owner in the whole county, Mr. Kurban. The nearest manor owner takes three days and three nights in a bullock cart, and it takes less than ten and a half days to walk." The moon can’t be reached, and the spring plowing is over there, so why would they want us!”

Wen Youshan was stunned, he really didn't think of this question, when he came back to his senses, he asked with a serious face, "How is Master Kurban?"

The man looked at Wen Youshan's group and saw that they were not locals, and there was no spy from Mr. Kurban here, so he said, "Master Kurban is not human at all! His family is rich He is so rich that he can rival a country, and he pays countless gold, silver, treasures and women as tribute to the king every year, but he is extremely harsh on us tenant farmers. It doesn't matter, everything is done according to the rules.

That's not a rule, it's clearly an excuse for him to oppress us! Everyone said that Mr. Kurban just pointed at embezzling us to get rich and curry favor with the king. Not only that, but any decent-looking women in our family would be taken into consideration by him. I can't resist, I have to be grateful to Dade, woo woo woo... Why is our life so hard! "

Wen Youshan was furious when he heard this, and kicked a stone hard.

The man was still crying, and the dark guard hurriedly asked: "Master, what should we do next?"

It's just busy farming, and the field is still bare.

They wanted to know about the grain in Tubo, so they probably had to go to the grain shop in Beijing to check it out.

Wen Youshan also knew about this situation, so he asked the hidden guard to ask the old man, but he said: "The grain store in the city also belongs to Master Kurban, and the whole city belongs to Master Kurban! You are outsiders, Master Kurban will not sell you grain."

"Why?" the dark guard asked, frowning.

The man wiped his tears and looked towards the border, "This is the city closest to Daqi. The king has specifically explained that you can't trade with Daqi people easily. You can buy their things with silver, but you can't sell them to others." them."

The dark guard translated the words, and Wen Youshan's brows slowly tightened.

The dark guard hurriedly asked: "Is there no one from Daqi doing business here?"

The man shook his head, expressing his ignorance, "Maybe there is, but the only thing they can take away is silver, and they can't take away Tubo's Gachao or Yimu."

"Fuck!" Wen Youshan cursed angrily, with such an order, no matter where they went, no one would sell them food.

Agitated, Wen Youshan thought of the seeds in the kit, and said hesitantly: "We just bought some cantaloupe on the way, and the fruit grower didn't say we wouldn't sell it."

But the man said straightforwardly: "It's okay to eat cantaloupe, you can't take it away, let alone the melon, you can't even take the melon seeds, you can't get out of the gate."

What he said made everyone's hearts go cold. At this moment, Wen Youshan finally understood why no one had brought crops from Tubo back to Daqi for so many years. The feeling was not that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't do it.

Wen Youshan gritted his teeth, took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket, stuffed it into the old man's pocket, and said, "Thank you for today."

The eyes of the old man holding the silver stared like a copper bell for an instant, and it was not until Wen Youshan and the others walked away that he came back to his senses. He excitedly put the silver in his mouth and took a hard bite. After confirming that it was true, he jumped up happily Three feet tall, running wildly home with money in his pocket.

As night fell, the group of people found a hotel at random. Tubo was similar to Mobei, and the wind and sand were so strong that the hotel didn't look very clean. Ten people asked for two rooms. After entering, Wen Youshan immediately gathered them together, whispering discuss.

"What should we do now?" The dark guard stared at Wen Youshan, as if resigned to orders.

Wen Youshan turned his head and looked at Anwei Er.

Dark Guard Two also seemed to be listening attentively.

Looking ahead, everyone seemed to be doing nothing but talking, and he was speechless for a moment, regretting that he didn't bring a think tank.

After thinking about it, Wen Youshan pondered: "We still have to start with Master Kurban. Tomorrow, the two of you will go out and inquire about the situation of the Kurban Manor, including the patrolling guards and who is in the Kurban family. Breakthrough, the other two are going to inquire about Fan Qirui's whereabouts, I always think they will come in handy!"
