Chapter 567 The World of Great Harmony
Ma Jun left the palace with a smile, but this time, he didn't wave his hand, because he was carrying the package with both hands, and put the package on the back of the skinny horse. Ma Jun left the palace, he had a family property in Luoyang, This family property was left by Wen Renxi, only a courtyard, not considered a luxury, Ma Jun led the thin horse all the way, walked towards his mansion, although Luoyang has experienced many expansions, There is still no major change in this inner city, and his mansion happens to be not far from the imperial palace.

Arriving at the gate of the mansion, Wenren's Mansion, and today's Ma Mansion, look more and more shabby, surrounded by various luxurious courtyards, and the vermilion gate, making this mansion look really unattractive, Ma Jun came to the mansion At the door, for some reason, I felt a little nervous, sighed, and knocked on the door. Not long after, an old man opened the door of the mansion, walked out, opened his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him.

"Father, I'm back!" Ma Jun said, he clearly saw that the old man in front of him was trembling all over, with tears streaming from his eyes, unable to speak, Ma Jun stepped forward and gave Father a hug , Looking at the rickety old man in front of him, Ma Jun felt unspeakably sad. This was his father. After Wen Rengong passed away, he took his father over and asked him to stay in the mansion and help He looks after.

After all, he is the eldest son in the family, and he has two sisters, both of whom are married.

Walking into the mansion together with Father, Father was about to be busy cooking, Ma Jun stopped him and went there in person, not long after, the father and son were sitting in the front yard, eating in silence, both of them had A lot of words, want to tell each other, but don't know how to speak, or Ma Jun put down the bowl and chopsticks, asked: "All these years, father is doing well, why don't you see the servants at home?"

"Oh, I'm not used to others coming to serve me. I bought him farmland and let him go away." The old man said, and asked, "Dalang, what about you, why did you come back all of a sudden? Didn't you say anything beforehand?"

"Gaolu passed away, I came back to worship."

"then you."

Looking at the old man who couldn't speak in front of him, Ma Jun said with a smile: "This time, I won't go back. I want to stay. Your Majesty will worship me as a general and master craftsman! I will stay in Luoyang from now on." , Hearing Ma Jun's words, the old man was very excited, "Okay, okay, my son is promising, what kind of official is this going to be? How much is the salary?"

"It's an official under Sangong's command, who is in charge of building the palace. It's worth two thousand stones!"

"Okay, okay. That's great." The old man admired, the wrinkles on his face were crowded together, and he smiled.

"My son, you are not young anymore. I have four grandchildren. When can I see my grandson?"

"Soon... soon Father, what happened to what I told you earlier?" Ma Jun asked again.

"I did what you said"

Ma Jun nodded, and the old man said: "I don't know the details. I have used up all the money in these years...but it's still not enough. Sigh, life is hard these days." Hearing what the old man said, Ma Jun nodded, and said with a smile: "This time, I got a lot, which should be enough. good deeds."

The two chatted for a long time, and in the evening, the old man left the mansion with Ma Jun.

Ma Jun still took the skinny horse with him, and a few more packages were delivered on the horse's back. The two of them arrived at the west of the city all the way. This place has just been expanded. Many places are still building houses, and some dilapidated houses are about to be demolished. The houses, these were originally outside the city, and they haven't been demolished yet. Unlike Luoyang's most prosperous north and south, there are many poor people living here, and the environment is extremely harsh.

As soon as you step in here, you can smell a stench that won't go away.

Stepping on the mud all the way, he came to a dilapidated house. This house lacked a wall, but it was still able to shelter from the wind and rain. There were still some bricks and stones around it. It was also a mansion that was about to be demolished. He got down and yelled a few times towards the inside. As soon as he opened his mouth, several thin figures walked out of the room. There were more than 20 people, big and small, and all of them were surrounded by an old man.

These people are skinny, scrawny, dirty, and disheveled. They can't even walk through the rest of Luoyang's streets. There are still a few people lying on the ground without moving. Ma Jun looked at these people , There was no words for a long time. When they saw the old man, they wanted to run over, but when they saw Ma Jun, they stopped and looked at him in horror, not daring to come. Scared, this is my son"

With his words, everyone came over and bowed to Ma Jun, calling them benefactors.

The horse didn't say a word. The old man opened the package on the horse's back, found some food, and distributed it among them. Everyone thanked him one after another and bowed to the old man. Quite a few of them stayed, walked tremblingly to Ma Jun's father, and said, "Trouble me, trouble me, I just ask God to bless you, and bless this gentleman. Long life, long life ah!!"

Only then did Ma Jun ask, "How many people are there?"

When the old man heard this, he said: "There are hundreds of people, not many, only us, the old, weak, sick and disabled, are left here. Thanks to the help of us, we survived. It is all thanks to the kindness of the emperor." The old man said, with tears in his eyes, Ma Jun sighed, and asked: "Hundreds of people? Can’t even feed it???”

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters. Helpless, how can we blame the big man?" The old man said, and then said: "We are either old or young. Now Luoyang is not allowed to beg, so we can only shrink here."

"Where is the relief house?? Where is the relief house opened by the temple??"

"Lang Jun was joking. They are all for the people who are famous in their household registration and have arable land. We don't even have a pavilion to settle down."

Ma Jun sighed again, without words, but the old man said with a smile: "The world is good today. I lost my cultivated land due to a disaster 20 years ago. People thought I was old and refused to use me. I can only work in Luo Yangnei was begging for the day, but at that time, he met a great benefactor, who also said his name, and every two or three days, he would come to help the beggars in Luoyang. At that time, there were thousands of beggars in Luoyang. It's all up to him"

"He is a good man, a good man, what a pity. I don't even know his name now. He hasn't appeared since then, and I don't know if the good man is still after him. It is this benefactor who often helps us , and also helped us find errands and enter the household, the emperor also implemented benevolent government, and it has been much better, but I don’t know if that great benevolent man is still alive.”

Looking at the old man's words, Ma Jun said: "He is still alive, so I will follow his order and let my father do the work for you to help the kings."

Hearing Ma Jun's words, the old man's eyes widened, he took Ma Jun's hand, and asked: "Is the good man okay? Maybe let me go to thank you?" Ma Jun said: "Old man, don't be like this , he is very good, he is a person who does not like to talk to others, so please don’t bother me.”

"Okay, that's enough, that's enough"

Ma Jun looked at the money in the package, thought for a long time, and then said to the old man: "Old man, I have an errand here, maybe you can all help me."

"Although the benefactor asks, we will never refuse"

"Well, you wait for a few days. I will come to find you again in five days. I will definitely find you a job. Also, you can use the money to buy some good clothes, and you are ready to prepare." Ma Jun took a lot of money and put it in front of the old man. At that moment, the old man's eyes were red, and he started to cry. He grabbed Ma Jun's hand and cried, "Thank you, thank you, God bless you!" Benefactor, God bless you thank you"

Ma Jun shook his head, smiled, and watched many beggars eating big mouthfuls. The tears in his eyes deeply hurt Ma Jun's heart. Rescuing these people, he stayed with Shijun for a long, long time, but he never discovered these things. It was not until Shijun fell ill and was about to die that he pulled him to his side and told him all these things.

He still can't forget the shrunken body, sticking out his twisted hands, tilting his mouth, tears streaming down his face, and talking indistinctly. After listening carefully for a long time, Ma Jun finally understood what Shijun said. what.

"Meng Ping, my family was poor when I was young, and the whole family broke up because of gifts. There was no 35 yuan in my family. I have been begging everywhere since I was a child, sleeping on the street, being bullied, and at least survived. Good people, good people and my money let me buy arable land, but I didn’t buy arable land. I looked at the group of begging people around me. Finally, I used the money to buy meat and went to Hejian Prime Minister Zhang’s mansion. Mr. Zhang, whose name is Yuheng and styled Pingzi, was a great sage at that time."

"I took the meat strips and knelt in front of his mansion for two full days before he recruited him into the mansion. However, he had no intention of accepting me as an apprentice, so he let me work in his mansion. He taught I read, he has a lot of books, I can read as I like, I read day and night, and this is how I am today. Zhang Gong’s kindness, my disciples will never forget it.”

"After I became an official, I also learned from that good man and used the family's money to help beggars. However, my salary is only so small. I can't save so many people. I can only find ways to earn money and save money for the national treasury. Money, save money for myself. Over the years, I have no servants or furniture in my family. I have used all of it to help others. I am leaving. I can’t help them. You take all the money I have left to help them , just leave me 35 yuan and 35 yuan."

"I don't ask you to help those poor people with all your strength. I only hope that when you have the strength, you can help me and take care of them. Among them, there may not be any Sangong of tomorrow."

Thinking about this, Ma Jun couldn't help looking at his clothes, gritted his teeth, and said, "This world will definitely get better day by day."

"The way of the great way is also that the world is the public, and the talents are selected and capable, and the trustworthiness is cultivated. Therefore, people should not only kiss their relatives, not only their sons and sons, so that the old will have an end, the strong will be useful, and the young will be good."

ps: I'm sorry, Laolang is going to watch the football game, I hope the national football team can ravage the Maldives, if the goal difference is more than two, Laolang will update it like crazy tomorrow! ! ! !Come on Chinese team! !
