I want to ruin the country

Yining understood in his heart that the rich people who could afford to wear brocade hats and sable furs were still sleeping comfortably in their beds. Only the poor people who had to earn a living would get up so early!

The fields on both sides are full of winter wheat, but last winter was dry and snowy, so the wheat seedlings turned yellow and withered, and no one knows what they will look like after they turn green again.

Yining was overwhelmed with thoughts. This vast territory belonged to him. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of 450 million people were all on his shoulders. This burden was too heavy. Could he carry it on his shoulders?

Then I thought, am I worse than the protagonists in other time-travel books? They can make guns and cannons, but I can't. They can use technology to save the country, but I can't?

It’s just that I traveled through time without a system and without a cheat code. God is so unfair!

There is nothing you can do about the injustice, there is no place to seek justice. The damn bird is facing the sky, and it will live forever, so what is there to be afraid of!

Thinking this way, I felt much more open-minded. Although I still felt a little guilty and short of breath, I felt that the air was fresher and a lot of the turbid air in my chest had been removed!

After walking more than 20 miles in one breath, it was almost eight o'clock.

"Master Du, the master has just recovered from a serious illness and is weak. Let's find a place to rest!"

Du Shoutian Road,

"Master Yi, what Butler Yi said is right. Let's find a place to stop and rest for a while!"

Yining nodded in agreement and saw a small village ahead. Smoke was rising from the chimneys on the roofs of most of the dilapidated houses.

Yining said,

"Let's go to the village and find some families to beg for some vegetarian food. Don't let them in. It's not good to disturb the villagers!"

Yi Guofang laughed secretly in his heart. The emperor thought he was a monk begging for alms, and he even asked for some vegetarian food!

In fact, this is the sequelae left by Yining after watching Journey to the West, and he just blurted it out!

Du Shoutian didn't care. He just begged for alms. As long as the meaning was understood, it would be fine. Whoever said something was right all his life!

Yi Fangfang handed the reins to Yi Gaige and the others and said,

"You guys just protect them secretly and don't make any trouble!"

Yining, Du Shoutian and Yi Guofang entered the village.

The street was deserted, with only two people carrying water.

They walked to the center of the village and saw the door of a house on the north side of the road was open. Yining pointed and said,

"That's it, after you go in, you have to pretend to be dumb and not speak!"

Yi Fang was so anxious to commit suicide, why did he pretend to be mute?

There is no way, the emperor has said it, so we can only listen!

He walked to the door and stopped. Although the door was open, Du Shoutian still picked up the chain on the broken door and knocked on the door three times, and asked,

"Excuse me, is anyone home?"

The yard was not big, only about seven or eight meters. A middle-aged man in his forties came out of the house, followed by a middle-aged woman.

Both of them were wearing black coarse cotton coats with patches on the elbows and knees.

It seems that this family must have a very difficult life.

The old man looked at the three of them and saw that Yining was dressed like a rich young man, Du Shoutian looked like a housekeeper, and the one behind him was a servant. He asked,

"Is there anything wrong with this housekeeper?"

Du Shoutian Road,

"Fellow villager, we are hungry after walking here and can't find a place to stay. We would like to ask for a meal at your house. I will pay for the meal. What do you think?"

When the old man heard this, he felt bitter and bowed in shame and said,

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to entertain guests, it's just that I don't have any good food at home. I'm sorry, please try another place!"

Yining said with a smile,

"Uncle, we're not picky, as long as we can eat our fill!"

As he said this, he winked at Yi Fangfang, meaning, "Take the money!"

Yi Guofang certainly understood, so he took out some change from his sleeve and handed it over. He was about to speak, but then he stopped himself. He was a mute, so how could he speak?

The old man saw that the silver piece was worth about two or three coins, so he quickly waved his hand.

"Sir, you're being polite. This money is enough for a meal at a restaurant. It's not about the money. I don't have rice or flour at home. I really can't entertain you. Let's go somewhere else!"

The middle-aged woman behind the old man saw the silver and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Yining took the silver and handed it over, saying,

"Uncle, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as we have enough to eat, this money is all yours!"

The old man was in great difficulty.

"Since you insist on eating at my house, I'll have to use your money to buy some rice and flour to make some fresh food. But I can't take the extra money!"

Yining Road,

"Don't bother, just eat whatever you have!"

The old man said,

"That won't do. The food we eat is really not good enough!"

Turning to the woman, he said,

"Mother, please boil some water to entertain the guests. I'll go to the east end and get some rice and flour from Mr. Liu's house!"

The woman was overjoyed and said hurriedly,

"Go ahead, the water in my pot is almost boiling!"

The old man said,

"Sir, please come inside first. The room is small, so please make do with your seat!"

Yining smiled and said,

"Just do your thing and don't worry about us!"

When Yining and his friends entered the house, they saw that it was a three-room earthen house with one bright room and two dark rooms. There was a stove on the east and west sides of the door.

There was still a fire burning in the stove on the east side, and steam was already coming out of the pot.

He asked,

"Auntie, what are you preparing to cook?"

The woman couldn't open her mouth and said timidly,

"It's cornmeal porridge made from wild vegetables!"

Yining looked and saw a basket next to the stove with some shepherd's purse in it.

I thought to myself, at this time of year there are only newly sprouted shepherd's purse in the fields, what else is there? So I asked,

"Auntie, don't you want to eat dry food?"

The woman said embarrassedly,

"At least some dry food!"

Yining asked,

"Is it steamed bread?"

The woman's eyes were a little evasive, and she said,

"Yes, yes!"

Yining glanced around the room. There was a shabby wooden cupboard against the north wall. On top of it was a basket covered with a piece of white coarse cloth. There should be dry food inside the basket.

He went over and picked up the white cloth to take a look. Sure enough, there were five or six fist-sized pieces of dry food in the basket.

But these dry rations are all bite-sized pieces. Some are made of corn flour, some are made of black sweet potato flour, and some are mixed with some unknown wild vegetables. Every piece is different!

When the woman saw Yining lifted the cloth, she quickly came over to hold it down, and said with a evasive look in her eyes,

"Sir, please come inside. It's cold outside!"

Yining understood instantly that these dry food were obtained by begging from other people's homes!

The woman lifted the door curtain, and Yining and the other two entered the inner room. It turned out that there were four children sitting on the edge of the kang. The oldest one was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old, with clear snot hanging from his nose.

The woman said to the children,

"There are guests at home. Go sit in your sister-in-law's room!"

The children ran away in an instant.

The woman picked up the broom and swept the kang.

"Sir, the house is not clean, please make do with it!"

Yining Road,

"That's fine. Just go about your business and leave me alone!"
