"But...but why didn't they just say it?" Pu Er's wife was silent for a moment and said.
"What other reason could there be? Because we are from Silla, not from the Tang Dynasty. Silla is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty must take care of Silla's face! If the Tang Dynasty directly distributes things to us, those nobles of Silla Can you let me? I'm afraid they will ask Datang to give them the things directly, and then they will distribute them to us!"
"Those noble officials, don't they have food? The disaster relief food allocated by the queen has been embezzled by them." Pu Er said with some hatred.
"Shh, are you crazy?!" Pu Er's wife was startled and quickly lowered her voice.
"What are you afraid of? I don't trust the people who live here and those who speak for those nobles." Pu Er took a deep breath and said.
"Then what if you get money if I report him?" Pu Er's wife whispered.
Pu Er was silent for a while and stopped talking. After a long time, he finally said: "I'll try on the clothes. If they don't fit, please help me change them."
His wife didn't say anything and quickly took out the suit. But when the suit was taken out, his wife and Pu Er were a little shocked. The main reason was that the clothes... were a little too big.
It is estimated that it can fit two Pu Er. In other words, if there is enough time, the clothes that can be completely cut out will be enough to make another set of clothes for their older children.
You don't need to think about it to know that Datang just wanted to give them as much cloth as possible. Although the cloth after trimming the clothes turned into pieces of cloth, she could always find a way to use it.
"There are no scissors at home. I have to borrow them from Aunt Xu. I will go over and make them with them. There are people working at Aunt Xu's house, and they must be making clothes." Pu Er's wife said.
"Okay!" Pu Er said nothing and agreed directly.
It is not difficult to simply make the clothes smaller, and it does not require them to look good. What's more, Datang also provided each of them with a roll of twine, which is more than enough to make several sets of clothes.
Pu Er's wife came back very late. They lit a fire, and the people who worked at home overnight changed their clothes to fit them. They also brought back a large number of scissors for cutting.
"Dad, this cloth from Datang is so good. It's so thick that it won't wear out even if you wear it for seven or eight years." After coming back, Pu Er gave the modified clothes to his boss to try on. After confirming that the size was suitable, Pu Er The wife said excitedly.
"Yeah. Make these clothes for yourself, then make one for the boss, and then make one for the second one." Pu Er gritted his teeth.
"What are you doing for the second child? He is so young and grows so fast. If you do it for him, he will be smaller soon." Pu Er's wife shook her head.
"Let's get him dressed. He is over a year old now, and he is no longer honest when sleeping. If he is just wrapped in a quilt, he will catch a cold easily. If he catches a cold in this weather and is infected with the wind..." Pu Er didn't say much more, but Pu Er's wife had already Now I know what it means.
"Anyway, when the time comes for his little clothes, the cloth can be used to make shoes or as patches. My clothes always have frayed spots when I work." Pu Er said.
"I understand, let's do it." Pu Er's wife nodded.
"Go to sleep. I have to work tomorrow. I will save the steamed buns I brought back for you to eat tomorrow. Tomorrow's food will not be distributed until work is over." Pu Er said.
"I understand. Don't worry. We came here during such a difficult time. Now that we have food, we won't starve to death."
Everyone rushed to Datang's camp early the next day, and then under the command of Datang soldiers, they began to cut trees in the surrounding mountains, while another part of the responsibility was arranged to lay the foundation inside the camp.
After all, the land was already frozen, so it was not easy to dig a hole in the land. The only way was to slowly knock it with a pickaxe. Fortunately, Datang had enough pickaxes, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to build a house.
But what Li Daozong and the others didn't expect was that as the Tang military camp in Hanluo City began to take action, some things had changed.
The situation in Baixin City, which is more than 40 miles away from Hanluo City, is even more serious than that of Hanluo City. Although there are troops from the Tang Dynasty stationed here, there are only a thousand people, so the military camp of the Tang army is not large. And they are stationed directly outside the city, because this is not the front line.
And there are two villages on the two only roads more than ten miles away from Baixin City, but now the villagers in the villages have run away, and they have been transformed into outposts, each with fifty soldiers from the Tang Dynasty stationed there. .
If the enemy arrives, these soldiers will naturally serve as an early warning.
The number of refugees gathered here in Baixin City is no less than that in Hanluo City, but because this is not the first front line, these refugees carry more things and food when they flee.
So the people here can get by for the time being, but because they can go, several nobles here are more unscrupulous. The people don't bring anything except food, and here, whether it is salt or other supplies, they have been sold for more than a dozen times. Times as much.
The point is that there was originally food for disaster relief here, but it was directly embezzled by the nobles in the city. Li Daozong and other major Tang generals are not here, and the Tang captain here has no order to only take care of his own three-acre land. .
For several months, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not care about the affairs in their city, which made the nobles in the city even more unscrupulous.
Finally, the conflicts that had accumulated over the past few months completely broke out, and the reason why it broke out here was because the relatives of several small leaders of the Silla garrison in this city were killed by these nobles, and there were also many relatives of the soldiers. these refugees.
Due to various reasons, about 500 Silla soldiers united with the refugees outside the city to directly rebel. When these refugees captured a city gate, many people living in the city who had complaints against these nobles also joined in. Come in.
A noble family living here was completely killed by the angry refugees, and almost half of the branches of another noble family were killed, and all their belongings were robbed. But the refugees are just refugees after all, and they cannot possibly wipe out all the Silla soldiers.
When the escaped Silla soldiers mobilized more than 3,000 soldiers from another city overnight to quell the rebellion, both sides eventually occupied almost half of the city and fell into street fighting.
The refugees snatched the weapons of the original Silla soldiers, and also grabbed a lot of kitchen knives and other weapons in the city. They were more numerous, while the Silla soldiers were smaller in number, but they were all professional soldiers after all, even if they There was no way to compare with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and then both sides fell into anxiety.
