Chapter 730 The Righteous Hero

After leaving the door and getting into the car, the smile on Xun Yu's face quickly dissipated. He lay on the carriage, squinted his eyes, and looked at the pedestrians on the side of the road.

As the New Year is approaching, pedestrians on the road are walking very fast and walking in a hurry. Most of them are ragged and have a good face, but they are very calm. A few months ago, when he first arrived in Chang'an, the people at that time did not see hope, and they ran around for the next meal every day. In order to survive, they took risks. The eyes of people look similar to those of wild animals, full of dangers. Jingzhao Yin sent people to drag away those who died of starvation every day, at least a dozen people, and at most hundreds of people. The establishment of the workshop solved the problem of making a living for many people. They could eat and have a stable heart. Jingzhao Yin had not met anyone who died of starvation for a long time.

Xun Yu's mood became lighter unconsciously. No matter how many problems there were, hundreds of thousands of people could eat, this was the achievement. If not, how could Chang'an be stable and how could it become the foundation of the Han Dynasty's revival? He was hungry all over the world and changed his son to eat. It won't take long to Chang'an to become a mass grave.

"Don't run, don't run." A scream came from the roadside. A young man rushed past the car and almost hit the horse. He shortened and drilled under the horse's belly. A woman chased after him, screamed in fear, but she didn't dare to drill like a boy. She stopped quickly and hurriedly bowed to Xun Yu on the carriage. The carriage drove over, and Xun Yu heard the woman shouting from afar: "What's the use of reading? Can those empty words from Zi said to Shiyun be used as food? Go to the Jin Family Workshop tomorrow to find something to do and learn a craftsman. If you become a craftsman in the future, you will earn no less than the county magistrate..."

Xun Yu's mood just got up suddenly disappeared, and his heart was as heavy as a big stone. He turned around, glanced at the woman, and sighed. The driver who was driving smiled and said, "Ling Jun, don't have to read it anymore. This kind of thing is normal. Whether it is reading or working, it is all for the sake of eating. Few people can care about the world like Ling Jun. Instead of letting them study, it is better to let them work."

Xun Yu was surprised and glanced at the coachman. "Do you think you don't want to study?"

The coachman raised his whip, and the whip made a crisp explosion, but the tip of the whip did not touch the horse. The horse trotted and pulled the cart forward.

"Lingjun, I don't mean that. Of course, I still need scholars to govern the world. Without Lingjun, how could Chang'an settle down? But for many people, even if they read books, they would not be able to become Lingjun. Reading is the way to make a living. The difference between workmanship is relaxed and face, and the way of a saint is just to say it. This is still good. When encountering those with poor character and have power in their hands, not only can they not serve the king, but they may also bully the common people. Such people may be better if they don't study. Letting them work hard and support themselves is somewhat useful."

Xun Yu felt it was reasonable. "Have you ever read a book?"

"I can recognize a few words, but I dare not say I have read books." The coachman laughed and said, "I'm going to hide it from Lingjun. I did a lot of evil things to survive a few days ago. Lingjun reformed the law and built many workshops. After I had a way to survive, I abandoned evil and went to good. My mother at home was grateful to Lingjun for her kindness and asked me to come to Chang'an to be a coachman. She said that if she had the opportunity to drive for Lingjun, she would never charge money, so you don't give me money later, otherwise I would not be able to explain to my mother, and I would definitely be scolded when I go back."

Xun Yu looked at the driver. The driver was about thirty years old, tall and burly, with a rough face, and indeed a little brave. "I am already an adult, and I am still afraid that my mother will scold him?"

The coachman raised his eyebrows. "Even if he is old, his mother is still my mother. Although I am less likely to study, I still understand this truth."

Xun Yu was deeply moved. "A city of ten families must have loyalty and trustworthiness. I dare to ask for the name of Gao's surname."

The coachman laughed loudly. "I dare not, I dare not. Lingjun, you are so proud of me. How can I have any big name in Gao? My surname is Bao, and my name is Wencai. I am from Xinfeng County. If you have been to Xinfeng, you may have heard of my name."

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. "So it's you. Although I have never been to Xinfeng, I have heard your name, but I have never seen it. Fortunately, I will do it."

"Haha, I am humiliating and ashamed of Junqing."

Xun Yu and Bao Chu started chatting and asked Bao Chu about the situation in the monk. Bao Chu's father died early, and his widowed mother raised the five brothers. He was the third brother. Originally, the family was in trouble and the land had been sold long ago. The widowed mother helped the family wash laundry and repair the days. When the two brothers grew up, they did some odd jobs, so their lives were better. Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, and Chang'an was in chaos. All the rich people ran away. They had no chance to do odd jobs, so they had to pick wild vegetables and pick pan rice. Later, more and more people in Luoyang were, wild vegetables and pan

The rice was gone, so they had to be thieves in order to survive. Bao Chu was a famous raid in Xinfeng, with a prestige and was under the control of his widowed mother. He did not dare to do anything to make money and kill him, so he organized a group of people to eat bad things. Recently, Chang'an reforms have been made, and many workshops were built. The five brothers all went to the workshop to work, so life was settled. The widowed mother was grateful to Xun Yu, so she asked Bao to come out to Chang'an to catch a car. When she found out that Xun Yu was working in the palace, Bao Chu was guarding at the gate of the palace, hoping to have a chance to serve Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was deeply moved and didn't know what to say for a moment. His original intention of reform was for the court. He had never thought about these ordinary people, but the people who were most grateful to him were these people. Bao Chu actually rushed from Xinfeng to Chang'an to catch a car. Xinfeng was not close to Chang'an, so Bao Chu was guarding the palace gate again, giving up a lot of opportunities and earned a lot of money.

"Jun Bao, how can I bear it if you do this..."

"Lingjun doesn't have to do this. It is my honor to be able to drive for Lingjun. There are so many people in Chang'an City who want to serve Lingjun, but Lingjun doesn't leave the palace very much. Not everyone has this opportunity. Haha, this time, I, Baochu, have become famous in Chang'an. I wonder how many goons are willing to make friends with me. Lingjun, don't be polite later. If you take your money, I will be scolded."

Xun Yu smiled, was silent for a moment, and said, "Mr. Bao, are there many righteous heroes like you in Chang'an?"

"Yixia?" Bao turned his head and looked at Xun Yu, and laughed out loud. "Lingjun, you are too polite."

"There is still a good thing about the thief, let alone the hero." Xun Yu said lightly: "Mr. Bao, I want to ask you to be my servant. Are you willing?"

"really?"

"Of course it's true. I want to find some righteous men like you to go out to the market and understand people's livelihood. You also know that I spend most of my time in the palace and have limited knowledge of outside things. If you can help me collect some information, let me know more about people's livelihood, and have a clear idea of ​​what decisions to make, and think more carefully."

"Okay, I can't ask for help from Lingjun. Within three days, I will reply to Lingjun. I dare not say that there are too many, there are always twenty or thirty people."

Xun Yu nodded and raised his waist unknowingly. Bao came to pull the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped. Situ's mansion arrived.
