Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update my princess is Doubi!

For breakfast today, I made millet porridge. Beibei looked at the millet porridge and raised his eyebrows: "Eat it quickly, my aunt made a lot this morning, did you plan it?"

Qingyue was a little amused: "Didn't you say you were going to see the mother who gave birth? The people here are poor, so you can bring some food there. I will be cracking two eggs later. This egg is this morning, go to the villager's house bought."

In other words, Qingyue woke up very early and went out for a while. Beibei patted his head, a little embarrassed: "I have made my aunt suffer again."

While eating breakfast, Qingyue laughed: "For you, I am very willing. Eat quickly, and I will go with you after eating."

After the group had breakfast, Qingyue accompanied Beibei to visit Chunni, and walked towards Chunni's house with the breakfast Qingyue made in the morning.

When they arrived at Chunni's house, Beibei went to knock on the door: "Is Chunni there? I'm the doctor who treated you yesterday, can I come in?"

It was Chunni's husband who opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qingyue and Beibei standing at the door, holding a food box in their hands, and couldn't help raising their eyebrows: "What are you doing here?"

The food box in Beibei's hand showed Chuni's husband: "I'm here to see Chuni, she just gave birth yesterday, I'm a little worried, can I go in and have a look?"

Chunni's husband looked at Beibei: "You are a benevolent doctor, so can you help me persuade her not to seek death. She hasn't eaten anything since yesterday and today, and she doesn't care about her children."

The man's face was a little pale, probably because he hadn't slept all night, and he was a little tired. Qingyue also looked pitiful, and walked towards the room together with Beibei.

In the room, Chunni was lying on the bed. If it wasn't for the slight blessing on her chest, she would have thought she was a dead person if she casually looked at it!

Qingyue could see that this Chunni had a will to die. With a sigh, the milk baby next to her began to cry again, but Chuni really didn't respond.

Beibei had never encountered such a situation, and for a while, he didn't know what to say and what to do. Qingyue sighed, stepped forward, and picked up the child: "This child is probably hungry."

Beibei frowned, looking at Chunni's appearance, she was afraid that there was no milk for the child. Walking to Chunni's side: "I brought you some breakfast, you can eat some first. You gave birth to this child after a narrow escape, do you really care?"

Chunni still didn't respond, Beibei was a little overwhelmed, this person really has the will to die, what should I do? Glancing at Qingyue, Qingyue shook her head, for a person who wanted to die, it was useless to say anything.

But Beibei didn't believe in evil: "Don't ignore me, maybe I can help you! If it doesn't work, I'll buy you away, and give your husband-in-law enough money to buy two daughters-in-law. If he buys you away, he would like to."

Hearing this, Chunni's eyes moved on the bed, she looked at Beibei: "Why?"

Beibei was taken aback, why? yeah, why? Beibei frowned, is she kind-hearted?

"You just think I want to do a good deed. You are the person I rescued, proving that we are destined. Since you don't want to live here, then I will take you away and help you find the life you want. You want What is your life like?"

Chunni's eyes fell into confusion again, what life did she want? The life she wanted since she was a child, she didn't care about having a family, being able to eat and clothe herself, and having a few lovely children. But the child, she really didn't want to have another child.

"Do you know? I have been sold here by my family for a bag of grain. When I first met my husband-in-law, I was very satisfied. He is very nice, but he has three brothers. I have to do a lot of things every day. I Five children have been born."

five children? That's a bit much. But outsiders would normally have five children. Qingyue looked at Chunni, and suddenly said, "How old are you this year?"

Chunni glanced at Qingyue: "Who are you?"

Beibei introduced: "This is my aunt. Her name is Qingyue."

Chunni said, "I'm 20 years old, and I was sold here when I was 16 years old. In fact, my couples are all very good. It's me, I can't keep going. No matter how many children I have, they won't be able to eat enough , what's the use if you don't wear warm clothes?"

Speaking of which, Chunni burst into tears: "This is my fifth child. I don't even know if he can survive. If he can't survive, why should I continue to have children?"

When Beibei heard this, he immediately heard the critical moment: "Can't you survive? This child is very healthy. As long as you eat and breastfeed properly, why can't you survive?"

Chunni grinned bitterly: "Of my five children, only one survived. This is the second one. I'm not even sure if she can survive. I have three husbands, and now I have one left. They are all Starved to death."

Beibei's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized that this Chunni didn't hate life here. She was just afraid, afraid of having children endlessly, and then losing them one after another.

She has experienced the pain of losing her child three times. So it's not something that can be changed by taking her away. For a moment, Bei Bei didn't know what to say.

He could only mutter to himself: "I never thought that there would still be people starving to death in our Great Zhou Dynasty. How could it be possible? Even growing sweet potatoes can feed your family well."

Chunni chuckled, her face was a bit ferocious: "The taxes in the Great Zhou Dynasty were so heavy that they were almost reaching the point where they were driving people to death. How could they allow people to eat their fill!"

When Qingyue heard this, she finally felt that something was wrong: "The taxes in the Great Zhou Dynasty were not heavy at all. Wherever we went, even if we were poor, we could still have enough food and clothing. And your village is the first people, and people who died of starvation."

"Speaking of it, what's going on? How much did your village collect in taxes during the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Qingyue put her hand on Beibei's shoulder, signaling Beibei not to continue talking. She glanced at this Chunni, Chunni's hands were calloused, which proved that she was a hardworking person.

Qingyue, Chunni's husband, also observed it just now. Although he looks a bit fierce, his hands also have calluses, which are caused by working all year round. The whole family is hardworking, and it is impossible not to have enough to eat.

She came out with the village head to inform people yesterday, and also took a look at it. The things grown in this village include sweet potatoes, which are similar to those outside. There is no such thing as insufficient food, let alone heavy taxation. Unless the people here pay different taxes.

Chunni looked at Qingyue with some puzzlement. These two women seemed to be different from the people in their village. Chunni didn't hide it either: "The tax here is five stones per mu, and it also requires rice in addition to sweet potatoes. Do you think we can eat enough?"

Five stones per acre? One stone is one hundred catties, and one mu of land harvests five hundred catties of grain, even if it is sweet potatoes, it is half of the harvest. How can it be?

"Who are you collecting here? I remember that the taxes in Dazhou were collected from the grain of an acre and two stones, and there were things to look at. Most of them were left in the people's homes."

That's right, the taxes of the Great Zhou Kingdom are all collected according to the harvest, only two-fifths are collected, and the remaining three-fifths are reserved for the people's families, in the hope that the people can live a prosperous life.

Qingyue's complexion changed a bit: "There are people here who dare to collect money in the name of taxation. Beibei, this matter is not a trivial matter. I don't know whether it is this village or the nearby villages. It seems that we are going to spend more money here. We walked a few villages."

"Chunni, which village did you marry from? Is the tax in your village the same?"

Looking at the serious faces of the two, Chunni couldn't believe it: "You said that Dazhou's tax is two stones per acre? How is this possible? We have paid different things for so many years."

Beibei snorted: "What a guts, the most important thing is that no one has discovered this problem in all these years?"

Such a big thing, no one found out, it really shouldn't be. Maybe someone discovered it, but the people who discovered it all died!

Chunni looked at the two of them and shook her head: "I don't know, anyway, since I was born, I have paid so much in taxes, and the people in this area have a hard time."

This place is almost a month away from Kyoto, so it is considered a remote area. The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is normal for anything to happen.

Beibei looked at Chunni: "Don't even think about dying, just take a look at the newborn baby, for your sake, Mr., continue to live. I'll wait until the day I'm full. Don't worry, I'll take care of this. After this incident, I left."

Qingyue nodded: "And what we said to you just now, don't tell anyone. We will stay here for a long time! Don't worry, we will figure out what's going on here before we leave of."

For some reason, Chunni felt that Qingyue's words contained a life-giving force: "Can you really guarantee that we will all be full in the future?"

Qingyue nodded: "Don't worry, I keep my word. I will definitely settle the matter here and then leave. In fact, we are the spies of the imperial court, and we are ordered by the emperor to come out to look around. Live and work in peace."

"This is a token given by the emperor. I didn't expect that we would actually find such a place. Helping you is also our meritorious service. We will not give up."

Chunni looked at the token and was dumbfounded. Qingyue was still talking: "There are also things about our origins and tokens, we can't tell anyone, you know?"

Chunni nodded: "Understood, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Thank you, thank you for coming, let me see the hope of living, thank you."
