Chapter 30

Qin Murong got up and struggled. Cui Baihe stopped him and said with a smile, "I heard that you were injured, but I didn't expect that you were so hurt! I should have come to see you, but Ah, I'm so busy that I can't separate myself. "

Qin Murong didn't get up, straightened his hands and bowed his hands. Then he asked with a wry smile, "old Cui has long been dead. How can he be a senior official now?"

"Ah Cui Baihe said bitterly, "it's not the Wei City chaos Alas, the officials can't get good treatment for the death and injury of the common people. Moreover, they have heard that there are many sharp people. After this clean-up, whether he is guilty or not, most of them are gone anyway! Fortunately, I left my old age early. Otherwise, I would have been led by the political enemies. "

"Old Cui, be careful!" Qin Murong can't laugh or cry. He really doesn't dare to take over. This kind of discussion is at the top of the limelight. Being poked out is the crime of killing his head and killing his family.

Now this kind of joint, everyone is sensitive, including officials!

"Ah, it's the same. Don't say it, don't say it..."

Cui Baihe is also dull, the key is helpless, unable to return to heaven.

Qin Murong then asked: "so I invited you out? However, according to your temperament Hey, hey. "

"How do you know I'm idle?"

I'm not convinced.

Qin Murong said with a bitter smile: "we are all official fans in Daliang! Which parents will fill in the word "crane" when they name? It's always bad to get caught in the bad luck of idle clouds and wild cranes. It's clear that the name of the white crane was chosen by Mr. Cui himself. Isn't it to tell people all over the world that you want to be a wild crane? "

"You

Cui Baihe was stunned for a moment. Then he pointed to Qin Murong and said, "tell me about you. This way is for those old people in Chaoli. You little boy can understand it. I'm afraid you have an old fox in your heart!"

Qin Murong said with a bitter smile: "it's the kid who is abrupt. I have to practice more about pretending to be stupid."

"Well! You have to practice hard! You're smart, you little fellow. You're smart. You don't have a doorkeeper. You don't have a city. "

"Is there a city? Or not as good as the city government? "

"If it's a little friend, it's not as good as Chengfu. But if it's children and grandchildren, some cities are better. "

Cui Baihe looks at Qin Murong with a kind face. He doesn't know how. He is very close to this boy, just like I have a grandson.

Qin Murong was stunned for a moment, then could only smile bitterly.

He changed the topic and said, "you haven't said yet, how did the officials let you become an official again, an idle immortal who regards himself as idle clouds and wild cranes?"

"Officials? The official family is much simpler, so he gave me a secret order with only four words written on it. "

"Four words? Can you change your original intention? An official is an official. A word is a thousand gold! "

"Fart! And it says, "are you dead or not?" Cui Baihe was obviously angry when he thought of these four words. He rolled his eyes and said, "you say, how dare I be idle?"

"Ha ha ha! This official is really interesting! "

"It's interesting, but also Cruel

Qin Murong restrained his smile and nodded: "indeed It's cruel. "

After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "but as soon as I took office, I didn't go to Daliang city to resume my job. I've been busy in Weicheng. It's really It doesn't make sense. "

Cui Baihe said, "who says it's not? But there are many things. It's not just Weicheng. The key is Oh, how to say that? I came to see you and asked about you. As soon as I entered the room, I told you about my husband. "

"It's nice to have someone to talk to."

"Hey! Or you can talk! "

Two people are very happy, but the side of Xiaobai Xiaolan obviously Dudu mouth, in the heart don't know recite his uncle several times is not.

Want to chat, two days did not accompany you to chat?

"If you want to talk about many things, it's just one thing, but I'm tired to death. I can't help it! In this respect, the officials are particularly tormenting. "

"Oh? Tell me about it? "

"It's not farming? Now, the autumn harvest is over, but the winter millet in the south is about to start sowing, but now there are not enough people! It's also that there are always small moves and constant friction in the Northern Qi Dynasty, which makes it necessary to send more soldiers to garrison in the past, but there's no reason why there's only a thousand days to be a thief? How many people will this garrison cost? They are all from strong men. Who will plant the farmland? Ah! You don't know how many people are lacking in the south of the prefecture! There's a lot of money and taxes from the top to the bottom, which This is a dead end at all. Anyway, I can't get out! "

Qin Murong's eyes brightened after listening.

What is a businessman?

Other people's difficulties are my business opportunities!

Qin Murong thought for a moment and asked: "but this kind of thing, originally is to wait for opportunities, just busy but no effect, Cui Lao you make yourself so tired, the gain is not worth the loss.""That's busy! It's a big deal to be busy even if you're too busy! "

Mr. Cui was very excited.

It's very abrupt.

Qin Murong was stunned and worried.

Cui Lao Leng for a moment, then a wry smile, said: "if this goes on for a long time, the national treasury grain shortage, say no one day there will be famine..."

When it comes to famine, Cui Baihe's lips are shaking.

Qin Murong doubts: "famine?"

A guy who lived in modern times in his previous life has only heard about famine, but he really can't understand it.

It's a kind of happiness.

Cui Baihe gave a bitter smile and said, "famine It's terrible. When a man is hungry, he will eat everything he can see, and everything becomes less precious. Even his own children, if they can't do it by themselves, will exchange it with their neighbors, chop them to pieces, cook them in a big pot, shed tears when they cook, but feel happy when they eat There was a young man who was poor at home. He was helped by his neighbor's family when he was young. There was a sister in his neighbor's family who was gentle, kind and beautiful. Young people like her very much, and they can't say whether it's love or any other feelings. Young people just want to grow up quickly and marry her when they make money. They don't think about the seven-year-old gap between them at all. "

Cui Baihe narrowed his eyes and said with no focus: "as a result, there was no food to collect in the field, no food to sell in the shop, and no food to be provided by the State Treasury for two years in succession The famine came. People eat everything they can. Some end up thinking about eating people, but some don't. The young man's neighbor's sister didn't eat it. No matter how others tried to persuade her, she just didn't eat it. So the young man could only watch her lose weight day by day. The young man was so cruel that he searched all over the field and finally found a pocket of grass seeds that he could barely eat. When he came home happily, he found that his sister had died and starved to death, just like that Thin face, frowning tightly, lying there straightly.... "

Cui Baihe opened his eyes wide with fear: "the young man picked her up It's so light. It's scary. He tried to wake her up and put grass seeds in her mouth, but it didn't work. His sister really died. The people who died in the famine want to be food, but the young man refuses. He carries his sister out of the village, grabs a cart, and takes her to the top of the mountain. Her sister once joked that if one day she dies, she must be buried in the most beautiful place, the hillside full of flowers... "

"But at that time, there were no flowers on the top of the mountain, even the poisonous ones were eaten, and the soil was turned over two or three times, no matter it was grass roots or insects. The young man always fantasizes that as soon as he turns back, his sister will wake up and lie there looking at himself It's a pity that I didn't. I turned back 1367 times and couldn't get a pair of open eyes... "

"The young man dug the hole, but he still didn't give up. He thought that maybe sister Caozi didn't like to eat meat, but she should eat meat. So the young man cut off the meat on his arm with a knife, gave her blood and stuffed the meat, but naturally, his sister would not wake up..."

Cui Baihe suddenly brightened his eyes, raised his head, looked straight at Qin Murong and said, "this is famine! So that you can see with your own eyes all good, all kind, a little disappeared from the eyes, but powerless hell! As long as it doesn't happen again, old man, I can do anything, even death

Qin Murong's eyes twitched a few times and asked, "is that young man..."

Cui Baihe sighed and said, "I used to be an old friend of mine."

"Oh..."
