I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 223 How Easy Is It To Destroy A Man?
"What the old man said is true!..."

Looking at the doubtful eyes of the common people, some of whom were baring their teeth, Old Dong suddenly felt like a monkey in a zoo.

No, monkeys in the street.

These peasant uncles are just watching the crowd, purely using themselves for entertainment.

"I'm just telling the truth. Relevant policies will be introduced soon. You have to trust me!" The more he was silently questioned, the more old Dong couldn't help explaining.

But the more you explain, the people... seem to be happier.

Human nature is so complicated.

When you tell the truth, no one will believe you.

"My husband not only wants to encourage more land reclamation and farming, reasonably collect taxes, reduce corvee, but also introduce more welfare policies one after another."

"For example, there have been years of chaos, people have been displaced, and the elderly, weak, women and children are the most miserable."

"The county can set up homes for the elderly and orphanages, so that the elderly can have something to support and the young can rely on... Of course, the premise is that you must have registered households for all the people."

"Hmm..." Old man Li Kui nodded repeatedly, almost saying 'ah, yes, yes, yes', and his eyes were more obvious: "Taiwei, what else is there?"

Old Dong wanted to get angry: These people were clearly teasing him, they just smacked their noses!

But when he looked at them again, his eyes were clear and sincere, and his expressions were respectful and expectant. Where was the look of joking just now?
Especially that old Li Kui, who was still a little timid in his anticipation.Occasionally lowering his head, as if he didn't dare to look at himself, it just makes people feel distressed.

Could it be that the old man was dazzled just now?
"Well... there is also the need to set up a school. All the children of tax-paying households can enter the school to read and read, and have the qualifications to be recommended as officials."

After finishing speaking, I was afraid that these words were not rigorous, and added: "Of course, in the future, the examination and examination should be included in the scope of the imperial examination, parallel to the expropriation system."

"Father Taiwei, can I still be an official in the future?" At this moment, the voice of a young child came.

When Old Dong heard it, he felt very familiar: "The person who discovered the old man's carriage just now, is it you?"

"Ok!"

"If your parents are Qimin registered households, and you are both good in character and learning, you can naturally pass the imperial examination to become an official." Old Dong replied with a smile, and then asked: "After becoming an official, what do you want to do?"

"Eat meat!"

"Uh... besides eating meat?"

"Live in a big house!"

"and then?"

"Marry a wife!"

"and then?"

"Let my son eat meat too!"

"Damn you..." Old Dong couldn't help laughing at that time, and said, "It's quite real!"

Children can't stand other people's compliments, and when they are praised, they are easy to go, and if they are flat, they are easy to tell the truth: "It's not as good as Father Taiwei, who doesn't say a word of truth, hahaha..."

Children's laughter is very clear in the field.

The next moment, he found it very abrupt: Usually at this time, don't everyone laugh together?

Why are my father, eldest father and all the uncles and neighbors looking at me with strange eyes?

Could it be that I didn't learn well enough, didn't understand the essence of teasing people?
At this time, Old Dong was finally convinced: the common people were just tired of working, and they listened to him talking about policies that they dared not expect, so they just listened to jokes for entertainment.

It has to be said that their acting skills are quite superb.

"I killed you!" A farmer suddenly raised the plow in his hand, aiming to hit the child: "What nonsense!"

The child was so frightened that he stood there motionless in a daze.

Old Dong understood why the farmer did this, grabbed the plow rake with his hands like lightning, and said sadly: "Why, do you think that if you kill him, the old man will spare you?"

Immediately, he became furious and shouted: "How dare you molest the old man, you muddy legs are so daring!"

"This old man is sincerely thinking about you, and what you say is what you want to do in the future. But you guys are treating this old man like a monkey, you really don't know what to do!"

"Come here, I will kill all of them, and leave no one behind!"

The enraged old Dong hated him endlessly: "After killing them all, we will break into their house, even the chickens and dogs will not be let go, and we will set fire to burn them all!"

Dian Wei's color changed instantly.

But looking at Old Dong's angry red eyes and the awe-inspiring murderous aura around him, after hesitating, he clasped his fists and responded, "Wei!"

In an instant, the personal guards surrounding Lao Dong raised their spears horizontally, and their swords slapped their shields, all threatening the people together.There are bowstrings behind him being tightened by both hands, making a creaking sound, like countless nooses that are gradually tightened.

The people who were besieged inside and outside fell into despair in an instant. Lao Likui kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy: "Taiwei, please forgive me, Taiwei, please forgive me, I will never dare again!"

"Kill!" Dian Wei roared with red eyes!
Cai Yan was like crazy, ready to rush out of the carriage.

At this moment, Old Dong, who was still furious just now, suddenly raised his hand high and shook it twice.

The chilling atmosphere immediately dissipated like hot soup and snow, the gathered guards put away their spears, the soldiers with their large shields retreated step by step, and the tensed bowstrings were also put away.

Old Li Kui, who survived the catastrophe, looked at Old Dong in confusion, and saw Old Dong leaning over narrowly and said, "How about it, is it unexpected or exciting?"

"Captain?..."

"Why, you are only allowed to tease the old man, and I am not allowed to scare you?" Old Dong laughed loudly, and said, "Okay, let's make it even."

"Oh..." Cai Yan, who was almost sprained in the carriage, couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and his eyes shot fire: I really want to beat that old thing to death!
"Don't be dazed, let's all go back to work."

Seeing that the common people were still in shock, and some were still trembling with fright, Old Dong said softly, "I understand, why don't you believe me."

"If you can't even meet basic food and safety, how can you have the courage to fantasize about belonging, respect, and high-level spiritual needs for self-realization."

"Only when the warehouse is solid can one know etiquette, and only when food and clothing are sufficient can one know honor and disgrace."

"The most important thing is, don't care whether you believe it or not, it doesn't affect whether I do it or not."

"As long as taxes and corvee are actually reduced, welfare benefits are improved, and orphanages and schools for the elderly are built, you will believe it if you don't believe it."

"Father, Father Taiwei..."

That child is really big-hearted, just now he was almost hugged on the head by his own father, but now he said again: "So, maybe I will really go to school?"

"of course."

"But..." He panicked, he really panicked: "I don't want to go!...Sitting in the same room all day, unable to move, and being slapped on the palm by my husband, what good is it?"

Upon hearing this, Old Dong shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "Look at what you're talking about? How could the school be like that..."

"No, it's not like that?" the child asked Xiji, speaking quickly.

"Of course not." Old Dong said with a serious face, "In addition to those, the school also assigns homework every day, and parents don't let them eat or sleep if they can't finish."

"There will be an exam every six months. If the ranking is low, it is estimated that a meal of bamboo fried pork will not be able to escape..."

The child's eyes dimmed, and the whole world collapsed in front of his eyes. He cried loudly, "No, I won't go to school, even if I'm killed, I won't go to school!"

Old Dong looked at his own father, and said leisurely, "As long as you are registered as a registered householder, you can reduce or exempt your children from going to school. If your grades are good, the county government will also give you a certain amount of subsidies..."

The farmer blushed when he heard this, and the veins on his forehead twitched. He grabbed the plow rake from Old Dong and shouted at his son, "If you don't go, your legs will be broken!"

His elder father, that is, the old man there, was also so angry that his beard twitched wildly: "It's fine to kill him directly, at worst, there will be another one!"

"Wow woo woo..."

This time, his crying was not abrupt at all.Because the people in the whole field were laughing loudly, and the field was full of joyful air.

Accompanied by miserable cries and pleasant laughter, the carriage started slowly again.

The corner of Old Dong's mouth also curled into a smile: "Heh... a man is a creature that is too fragile and can be easily destroyed."

"Traditional arts such as homework, exams, and academic performance, of course, must be grasped from the Han Dynasty, and passed down from generation to generation forever."

Cai Yan, who was gently rubbing her ankle, became more and more unpleasant.

With a slight blink of her eyes, her plump lips smiled: "Is what you said just now true?"

"nature."

"However, no matter building public schools, orphanages, nursing homes, or reducing taxes and corvee, money is needed...Where does this money come from?"

"Of course it is..." Old Dong, who was still smiling just now, froze suddenly, and his whole body was in a bad mood: "Of course it was the old man..."

"My son has been digging for half a year. Lang'er is so old and he didn't have a family, and this old man snatched it from the princes of the Kanto region only after he was born and died!"

Seeing his distressed appearance, Cai Yan nodded and agreed: "You are right, men are indeed easily destroyed..."

　Thanks to Mysterious Kai Qiqi for her support, thank you!
