Chapter 177 The Green Tea Sniper

approached the thatched shed. The boys unloaded the grain from the cart and pulled it into the thatched shed, while the maids were responsible for cooking porridge.

The refugees listened and lined up at the fence outside the tent, waiting for soup.

There is a row of guards holding sticks in front of the fence to intimidate the refugees.

In less than a stick of incense, the first batch of porridge was cooked. A young man was beating the gong nearby, "Let's line up, in groups of five, take the porridge and leave in turn!"

After saying this, the refugee stretched out his bowl. Receive porridge.

Su Mingjue followed Wang Ruofu, scooping porridge with a big spoon.

The first few were fine, and he scooped up porridge when someone came forward. But as more and more people came forward, he frowned slightly and looked into the crowd.

Most of the people in the front were young adults or teenagers. It was rare to see an elderly person, let alone a child. Even a woman was only seen after dozens of them.

Su Mingjue gave the spoon to another boy instead, and stood in the hut to observe. The situation at the scene was a bit bad.

Although no one jumped in line and the queue was neat and tidy, it was only limited to the soup kitchen. A few meters away, people were pushing each other and trying their best to squeeze in. Only the stronger ones could get in. Women, children and frail old people simply couldn't squeeze in.

Su Mingjue thought for a moment, picked up a thick hemp rope for tying grain from the hut, and stretched a rope from the middle of the hut until it was tied to the fence.

The hut that was so spacious just now was split into two halves. After doing this, Su Mingjue turned around and gave a few instructions to the porridge cook. He grabbed the gong from the hand of the gong knocker and knocked it:

"Everyone, please be careful, everyone should line up again ." When dividing the porridge, according to the direction of the porridge shed, the men line up on the left to receive the porridge, and the women, young and old people stand on the right to receive the porridge."

As soon as these words came out, the refugees below started talking a lot, and a man standing in the front said: "Who are you? Ah, you, we are following the rules of the palace, why are you making trouble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ruofu stopped, glanced at Su Mingjue, and said to the person below: "This man is my son, everything is as he said. Let's go and do it."

When the man heard that he was Wang Ruofu's son, he immediately lowered his head and apologized. Su Mingjue waved her hands to show that she didn't care, paused and said,

"It was a bit confusing to give porridge like that, old people, children and women. It’s difficult for everyone to get the porridge. The reason for the separation is to better take care of everyone.”

After a brief explanation, some people understood, and some people didn’t understand but they followed the rules in order to get the porridge.

After queuing up again, the situation improved a lot, and both women and children had porridge.

Su Mingjue clapped her hands and was about to walk back when she saw an old man with a cane lying on the ground. Just as he was thinking about whether to go up and have a look, a clear voice came from his ears:

"We still need to set up a boiler here ." Those who use medicinal materials will suffer from diseases after being hungry and need medicine to treat them."

Su Mingjue heard the voice sounded familiar and looked up. A man wearing a moon-white robe stood in front of him and looked at him with a smile. Su Mingjue was surprised and said: "Baili Xi, why are you here?"

Before Baili Xi could respond, Wang Ruofu, who was serving porridge on the side, heard them talking and looked at Su Mingjue in surprise: "You know Xiao Xi?"

Xiao... ..Xiao Xi, you called him so affectionately. Su Mingjue was stunned when he heard this. Su pursed her lips for a moment: "He is my classmate."

After a while, he was shocked again. Let's not say whether Baili Xi was surprised or not, his mother How come I met Baili Xi?

He looked at Wang Ruofu and said, "You two know each other."

Wang Ruofu said, "When I was giving porridge a few days ago, I didn't notice that the refugees were in danger, so I didn't bring so many guards. When I first transported the food, The group of refugees surrounded me and almost pushed me down. It was Xiao Xi who saved me."

Su Mingjue nodded and said to Baili Xi, "Thank you for helping my mother."

Baili Xi said. He curled his lips and said, "It's just a little effort. Mrs. Su's giving of porridge is an act of great kindness."

Wang Ruofu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled when he heard this, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can help people."

Baili shook his head. Shake, "Although it is to help others, it is because of the kindness of my wife that she does this. After all, she is a good person. Mingjue is really proud to have a mother like you."

Su Mingjue felt that he was also sweet-mouthed, which made him amused. His mother was smiling brightly, but compared to the man in front of him, he was really ashamed of himself. How could he make his mother burst with joy with just a few words? He would take a long time to say anything.

After hearing this, Wang Ruofu had a smile on his face, "Are you still here to help today?"

Bailixi nodded, "That's exactly what I meant."

Wang Ruofu was very happy after hearing this and asked someone to let him go. When he came in, he specifically asked the boy next to him to hand the spoon to Baili Xi.

Su Mingjue walked inside, feeling a familiar feeling lingering.

The last time his mother ignored him was when Rong Zheng was around!

Why, in just a few days, a new one came.

Su Mingjue took a look at Baili Xi's pretty face, and wondered in her heart whether her mother would be so enthusiastic because she liked her face!

Her mind was still wandering, and she heard Wang Ruofu in her ears. He praised Baili Xi, "Xiao Xi still knows how to do things. Look, you scooped out the porridge just right, not too much or too little, unlike Ming Jue who almost spilled the porridge when he had two spoons less and then too much. "

Su Mingjue: "..."

He glanced at Baili Xi's porridge scooping action. He was indeed better than him, but it's not like his mother disliked him so much!

Baili Xi pursed his lips and said with a smile . : "Mingjue just has no experience, and he will be able to do it the more he does it."

Seeing Wang Ruofu continue to talk, Su Mingjue stood aside and asked: "Where did these refugees come from? Could it be that the water bandits came ashore.

Wang Ruofu pursed his lips and said, "The navy is blocking the way from the south. It's not that easy to fight. These refugees came from the north." "

Northern" Su Mingjue came all the way from the north and didn't see anything coming from the north. Things, I was a little confused for a moment.

Baili Xi responded calmly while scooping porridge, "If you don't have land to cultivate and can't pay taxes, you'll naturally run away."

"How come you don't have land to cultivate?"

Baili Xi lowered his voice and said, "The land is occupied by others, so of course it can't be cultivated. "

Su Mingjue was startled when he heard this. He was about to ask why Tian was taken over by someone, but he realized it after a moment.

The Daxing Dynasty had always valued culture over military affairs, so the people's willingness to join the army was not high, but the army was indispensable. Forced conscription would cause resentment among the people, so Emperor Anqing proposed a "military system."

The so-called military system means that as long as one member of the family serves in the military, he can be allocated a piece of land. In order to ensure that this plan continues to be implemented, as long as he joins the army, he will be listed as a military household registration.

After people with military household registration get land, they can only farm the land and cannot engage in other businesses. At the same time, they also need to pay military household tax on time.

Nowadays, the officials and gentry are buying a large amount of land, which has led to the deprivation of the original land. These people have no farmland and naturally cannot pay taxes. If they cannot pay taxes, they will face jail. They don't want to go to jail, so they escape.

All in all, it was the result of the intensification of social conflicts, and Su Mingjue could not judge anything about it.

He could only give these refugees as much porridge as possible so that they could fill their stomachs temporarily.

Just when he was lamenting his own incompetence, Baili Xi's clear voice came from the side: "Mingjue, my belt is loose, can you help me fasten it?"
