Zhen Guo Princess GL

Going out today is really different than in the past.Except for the three or five officials, there were only sixty attendants—these sixty people were all wearing white cloth armor, white cloth Shu shirts, green silk half-arms, hakama slaves, Futou, and black leather boots. They are all tied with belts around their waists, with short knives and other things hanging on them, and they can be seen as sergeants at a glance.Li Sheng took me in a car, and the officers and entourages rode donkeys, and stopped at a secluded place. The sergeants were divided into two groups, and 60 people stayed in the same place to watch the cars, horses and mules. After walking for a while, another 20 people dispersed. Among the crowd, there were only ten people left and the officials of the East Palace Wei Chengqing, Cheng Xuanyi, and Ge Xiyuan escorted Li Sheng and me to one side.

Li Sheng has always abided by etiquette, and although he treated me affectionately, he was not as polite as Li Rui, who hooked his shoulders and put his back on his back at any time, but today, perhaps because he was out of the palace, he kept asking me to walk by his side, holding my hand tightly. From time to time, I told him to "follow me", and several guards around him also clamped me several times, and even Wei Chengqing and others also guarded us.

Because of Wei Chengqing's surname "Wei", I accosted him unconsciously and said, "Where is Duke Wei looking?"

Wei Chengqing cupped his hands and said: "A certain grandfather and father live in Hanoi, so they dare not use the county name in vain."

I heard that he didn't mention his ancestral home, so I wanted to ask Jingzhao Webster if he had anything to do with him. After thinking about it again, Jingzhao Webster called "Wedu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu". Wei Huan came from such a big family. She was afraid that if she threw a stone at the sky, it would hit a few relatives, and her father and brother treated her like that, so she found one more distant relative for her, so what?He stopped asking, but Li Sheng laughed and said, "Duke Wei is the son of Duke Siqian, the official censor. His ancestral home is Jingzhao, and his ancestors moved to Hanoi County, which is also a grand gate."

Wei Chengqing cupped his hands and said, "The crown prince is too flattering."

The two sang together, flattering each other, and after a while, even a few people around them were brought in.Li Sheng is very humble. Cheng Xuanyi and Ge Xiyuan were little-known schoolboys, but he also remembered their family names clearly and introduced them to me one by one. The other surnames were not interested, so he was perfunctory, dragged him and asked, "Where do you want to take me, brother?"

Li Sheng said helplessly, "Go to the market."

I thought about thousands of places, but I never thought that he would take me to the market, so I said nervously, "Yeah, don't you really like us going to those places?" Last year or the year before, a foreign official didn't understand the rules when he visited , went to Chang’an Dongshi, and bought two steamed cakes, both father and mother were very displeased, and demoted him a few levels. If I let my mother know, wouldn't it be uncomfortable?

Li Sheng said: "That's why I asked you to change your clothes. Wearing an official uniform is disrespectful. If you wear casual clothes, it doesn't matter." Seeing that I didn't believe it, he smiled and patted my head: "It's okay, if Your Majesty blames it, and I will bear it for you."

As long as I heard his words, I felt relieved and looked around while walking.

In the past, when I went out, there were guards clearing the way, and I couldn't see any scenery. When I went out with Wei Huan, I was chased by Chang'an Order. I was really not in the mood. Now I am going shopping at the order of Prince Jun. Instead, I have time to look east and west. look.Li Sheng was also very conniving, and asked someone to bring me a string of money: "Do you know how much this is?"

I was despised by him, and I was very annoyed: "A string is consistent, and a consistent value is one thousand, what's wrong with that?" Who knew that Li Sheng and Wei Chengqing laughed as soon as he said this, and Li Sheng He smiled and said, "Liu Lang answered the same way at the beginning, you can look again."

I saw that he was just showing off mysteries, so I walked up to the sergeant carrying the money and counted on tiptoe for a long while, before I finished counting, I saw Li Sheng shaking his head and laughing: "Don't count, it's 950 renminbi, which is always less than [-] renminbi on the market today." , or nine hundred, or nine hundred and five, just use it consistently."

I, Fang Ming, went in and saw that the string was very big, so I tried to pick it up with my hands, but it was extremely heavy, at least it weighed four or five catties, but Li Sheng still said: "This is bad money, a thousand cents is less than six catties The Kaiyuan Tongbao should weigh six catties and four taels, and the newly made Lindequanbao counts one as ten, so there are about ten taels." When he said that, Wei Chengqing took out another string of money from his bosom, which was less than this one. A lot, but it is a full amount of new money. Because it was printed last year, it was named "Linde Quanbao". I've seen it, but I don't know why Li Sheng asked me to watch it?

I looked at Li Sheng puzzled, but he refused to explain. He just ordered someone to give me dozens of coins, and said, "If you want something, you can go and buy it yourself. Have you never spent money?" Ever bought something?"

It turns out that we have already reached Dongshi Fangmen, and the road was already lively just now, but here it is several times more lively. Originally, there were wine shops, food stores, cloth shops, etc. in each square. There are workshops, wine furnaces, restaurants, and restaurants. Those who sell food include bakeries, pastry shops, oil cakes, sesame cakes, Tanahu, and Helu City. Cloth sellers sell silk, silk, silk, silk, satin, and silk. Brocade, embroidery from all over the country, the rice market has rice, millet, wheat, rice, fine white rice, white rice, flour, noodles, and horses, donkeys, cows, mules, and camels. It is said that sometimes you can buy large Elephants——I have no interest in buying elephants, but I am surprised that human beings are sold together with livestock in a horse shop. The few standing outside the door for attracting customers are almost all naked and skinny. Resisting it, I walked in and saw many slaves, Hu people, Tubo people, Turkic people, Yue people, and dwarf slaves who were about the same age as me, or even younger.

The family I entered had clearly marked prices, each person had a sign on his head, the cheapest were the elderly, one or two pennies could buy one person, followed by children, ten years old were only worth a few bolts of silk, the older they were The taller and more majestic the more expensive, but the most expensive are orchids, dwarf slaves and Kunlun slaves, all of which have tens of thousands of pieces of silk.

When Li Sheng saw these people, he also showed compassion, and sighed to me: "There has been a great hunger for many years, and rice nobles are cheap. This year's price is only half of last year's, and last year was only a tithe of the year before last. Dwarf slaves, Kunlun slaves and Hu Ji's price has been rising year after year, alas."

I was inexplicably angry, and said in a low voice: "Brother, when he saw them, he only thought of the high price and the cheap price. Didn't he think of anything else? They are also good people, and they are sold here as livestock. Brother thinks so." Reasonable?"

Li Sheng was stunned, frowned and said: "The people who are sold here are not good citizens, not slaves, or concubines. Buying and selling is a common thing."

Wei Chengqing was afraid that I didn't understand, so he smiled and explained: "The sage agreed on the laws of the Tang Dynasty a few years ago, and he stipulated that everyone below the concubine can be bought and sold. Hakka women are like the daughters of trilogy, and the same goes for slaves and maidservants."

This sentence hurt me deeply.

My mother forbade Wei Huan and me to get too close, and used the term "slaves". Naturally, in my mother's eyes, whether it was Cui Mingde, Wei Huan, or even Tuan'er and Wan'er, these people, no matter their origin or appearance, Talents and talents are all the same "things" that come and go, but this can't prevent them from being classified by the world according to family background, good and bad, and Wei Huan is bullied at home. Being in the early stage is looked down upon by many people, isn't it all because of this damn background?My good father formulated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, saying that "concubines can be bought and sold" and "servants are the same as livestock", so concubines like Wei Huan have children who are half masters and half slaves.After all, my Li family may not have a good background going back to the earliest ancestors, and won the world in the end?My grandfather's family sold wood, and my mother also started as a "concubine" of the royal family. Didn't she also become the queen of heaven, and she might become the empress of Zetian in the future?Father established the clan records, five surnames and seven surnames immediately fell from the first class to the third class. After dozens of hundreds of years, they are just ordinary people. What is there to show off?Prefer to abuse others like this.

It's because of people like them, always and everywhere, that they want to be powerful and concubine, so that A Huan is forced to come here. A Huan treats me very well, and it's all because of them that I became like this.

Probably my expression was too obvious, both Li Sheng and Wei Chengqing were taken aback, Li Sheng wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort me, but I turned my head away - if it was not him but Li Rui who was beside me at the moment, I am afraid Already ran away.

Li Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "Brother knows that Sizi is kind-hearted, and I brought you here specially to do good deeds, so don't worry." He winked at Wei Chengqing as he spoke, Wei Chengqing understood, and called Ding Kouxing The person said a few words softly, and bought all the Dingkou in the whole line, except dancers, aliens, dwarf slaves, and Kunlun slaves.The transaction amount was large, but Li Sheng didn't want to make it public, so he didn't bring any silk, and only paid with gold and silver ingots.Na Dingkou saw the gold and silver ingots made by the government, and knew that Li Sheng's status was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to cut the price ruthlessly. When he released them, they gave each of them a bag of corn, and Li Sheng sent two soldiers to lead them. I went out, took me to another house, and bought everyone as it was.

When I saw him like this, it seemed like I was making trouble out of no reason, and I asked again with an embarrassing face: "Brother bought so many people, where do you want to take them?"

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Most of them are refugees who were affected by the disaster. Nowadays, rice is expensive and cannot be sold. Even if they are sold in Dingkou, many of them will die of starvation. Sometimes I go around and buy them here. Now, send them to temples and other places for resettlement, just as accumulating virtue."

I said: "Brother, you are the crown prince. If you preside over the affairs of the court and do a good job in disaster relief, how many people can you save? Why bother to do these things? How many people can you save by yourself?"

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "Disaster relief is disaster relief. I...although I alone can't do anything, saving one person is better than doing nothing."

While he was talking, I saw that the sergeants scattered into the crowd bought corn in Dongshi, carried them outside, and gave some to beggars they met. Fortunately, there are not many refugees in Dongdu City, and the beggars in Dongshi will quickly give relief arrive.

Then Li Sheng led me to the Temple of Mercy and gave all the money, food, corn and corn left over in the temple. Seeing his generosity, I also said: "I will pay some money to brother when I go back, and brother will also give it for me. .”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "How much money do you have? What's the use of it? You don't need it."

I think he suddenly asked me to come out, and looked around again, there must be no reason, so I held his hand and said: "As brother said, you can always do a little bit, or... brother Want to ask me to do something else?"

Li Sheng didn't notice my narrow-mindedness, he glanced at me, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Si... If you want to do something for these refugees, then tell your father and mother to stop building Shangyang Palace—it doesn't matter what you do Advice, as long as I speak, you say a word or two of 'poor refugees', my mother has always spoiled you, I have begged, you can say a word or two for me, or... it can be done."

I don't know how to answer.
