“Alright, alright, alright.” Zhang Dazhu hurriedly agreed. He was extremely happy.
“Father!” Zhang Shoushou was happy, but he was also a little worried. “They wouldn’t lie to us, would they?”
“Why would they?!” Zhang Dazhu said angrily. “Besides, there’s nothing we can do if they want to lie to us. We can’t beat them!”
Zhang Dazhu was very clear-headed. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were impressed.
Zhang Shoushou felt that his father was right this time, so he stopped talking about whether they were lying or not. Instead, he asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan eagerly, “Can you give me extra? Don’t just give me a meal that’s enough for my father and me. Give me a little more… Then my father and I won’t just eat big white steamed buns and big meat buns. We don’t have meat anyway. We can cook a pot of noodle soup and give a bowl to every family in the village. The thin one tastes better than the wild vegetable soup, and it’s better than the wild vegetable soup.”
Only then did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan know that Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou thought that they would only give them one meal. Jiang Yue was still expressionless; Xue Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
They didn’t say anything.
Seeing that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t say anything, Zhang Shoushou thought that they were unwilling. He was a little disappointed.
“It’s better than nothing,” said Zhang Dazhu. Even if it was a small amount, it was fine. He added, “We’re reaping without sowing. It’s already good enough that we can eat a meal. It’s all thanks to God’s blessing.”
Only then did Zhang Shoushou huff and puff again, feeling very happy.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan felt that Zhang Dazhu was quite good at comforting his son, Zhang Shoushou.
After that, Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou happily went home. They planned to go to the place where they met Jiang Yue and Xue Yan in ten minutes to see if they could get food.
Only then did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan walk out of the village.
It was only when they were about to leave Stone Village and no one was around that Jiang Yue said to Xue Yan, “A monarch who can unify the world is not simple. And after unifying the world, they didn’t grow their foundation in time. At this time, even the most foolish monarch knows that even if he doesn’t reduce taxes, he can’t increase taxes. Once that happened, it would easily anger the people and they might rebel. Other people who do not want to sincerely submit would also be more restless… This can make the foundation of unifying the world even more unstable.”
Xue Yan nodded and agreed. “Didn’t Tao Zhen say it too? He heard the people secretly say that the heavens are high and the Emperor lives further away from it every day. There’s a possibility that there’s something fishy going on. But we know this place better now-”
“Someone is coming.” Jiang Yue suddenly stopped, interrupted him, and looked back.
Xue Yan didn’t say anything more and also turned his head to look.
Sure enough, after a while, someone came. It was Tao Zhen.
Tao Zhen was panting.
After Jiang Yue and the others left his house, he had already started to cook lunch. However, as he cooked, his mood became more and more unstable. He simply put down the spatula and chased after them.
Tao Zhen ran over and panted a few times. He felt that he should be able to speak after a few more breaths. His eyes lit up and his face was filled with anticipation and excitement as he asked, “Are you the Emperor’s men? Is the Emperor not a tyrant? Did the Emperor hear what happened and send you to investigate?”
Otherwise, why did the two people before him look like they were not from this world? It was so strange. They were using this as a cover to investigate this place, right?
It was all the work of corrupt officials, right?
