    The southern patrol team went all the way south and arrived in Sizhou. Yang Guangnai decided to stop here briefly.  Huang Mingyuan rarely had any leisure time, so he took his son Huang Weiyang to the grass market at Sizhou Pier to explore the customs of Sizhou.

    Sizhou was an important place on the Huaihe River until the Qing Dynasty. In the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1680), the main city fell into Hongze Lake and was unknown to future generations.  But at this time, Sizhou was extremely prosperous due to the excellent location due to the construction of the Grand Canal, which connected the two Huaihe Rivers.

    Along the way south, wherever Huang Mingyuan went, whenever he had the opportunity, he would take his son to visit the people and understand the current social situation.  At this time, due to unbalanced and inadequate development, there was a huge gap between the north and the south, and the life of the people and the wealthy were even more different.

    Just like Emperor Hui of Jin could not understand why the people did not eat meat when they had no food to eat, it is difficult for upper-class people who have not experienced the lives of the common people to truly understand the sufferings of the lower-class people.

    Huang Mingyuan has great expectations for his eldest son Wei Yang, and has always trained his eldest son as the future emperor. Therefore, he hopes that his eldest son will know the hardships of the people's livelihood from an early age, know how to be close to the people, love the people, and develop an open, enterprising, positive, and  overall view of development.

    On this morning, just after Mao hour, Huang Mingyuan and his son brought only a few guards to the grass market in Sizhou.  Although it was early at this time, the vendors in the grass market had already left their stalls, and there was constant shouting and shouting.

    ??Business in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was not too developed, and the markets were fixed in the lanes, with prescribed opening hours.  Only wild roads like the Grass Market by the ferry can develop to such a prosperous scale because of the large flow of people and the lack of location or time restrictions.

    Later, most of the famous ancient towns in the Tang and Song Dynasties developed from this kind of grass market.

    Huang Mingyuan found a clean stall on the roadside and ordered two portions of shredded chicken tofu and a plate of fried spinach. These are local specialties, and the father and son started eating.

    Although Huang Weiyang is not yet five years old, he is the eldest son of a wealthy family and became the head of the family earlier.  He traveled from Fengzhou, Chang'an, Luoyang and then Sizhou. Although he was young, he traveled all over the north and south. He had rich experience and grew up very quickly.  In addition, he was accompanied by more parents than people of this era and enjoyed sufficient parental affection. Therefore, he had a sound personality and favorable growth conditions. He was no longer an ordinary child.

    The father and son sat opposite each other and ate their meal quietly, not to mention how comfortable they were.

    Although Huang Weiyang is young, he is still willing to follow his father's side, even if it is just to have a quiet meal.  For more than a year, Huang Mingyuan has been extremely busy traveling north and south, and the time he spends with his son has also been drastically reduced. Therefore, both father and son cherish the opportunity to spend time together.

    Weiyang is still young after all, and although he enjoys the novelty of food, he still can¡¯t eat a bowl of shredded chicken and tofu.  So he only ate half of it, and he couldn't eat the tofu nao anymore.  Children of this age should not eat too much, so he put down his chopsticks and prepared to watch his father eat.

    As soon as Huang Weiyang put down his chopsticks, he looked up and saw a little boy not far away on the street opposite his father, looking at him eagerly. To be precise, he was looking at the tofu puffs and oil spinners on his table, his eyes full of excitement.  fiery.

    Huang Weiyang also stared at the little boy curiously.

    Huang Mingyuan saw his son looking behind him, turned his head and saw the little boy across the street.

    The little boy was not very old, only about eight or nine years old. His clothes were in tatters and he was dirty.  He stared at You Xuanzi, his eyes shining brightly, his hands tightly holding a corner of his clothes. When he saw someone looking at him, he lowered his head but refused to turn his head.

    Huang Mingyuan was very curious when he saw the boy, and wanted his son to know about the life of children from poor families, so he asked Su Yong on the side to call the boy over.

    At this time, the boy¡¯s father, who was not far away, was alarmed. Seeing Su Yong taking his son away, the boy¡¯s father thought that his son had gotten into trouble, and immediately took another boy of 14 or 15 years old to kneel on the ground and cry for mercy.

    Su Yong persuaded the three people to bring them here, but these three people didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for noble people to recruit each other, so they were all frightened and out of their minds.

    The three of them, father and son, seemed to be honest people at first sight, and Huang Mingyuan would not embarrass them, so he had three bowls of shredded chicken and tofu puffed up, and some fried spinach for the three of them.

    At first, the boy¡¯s father was timid and did not dare to use his chopsticks. Later, when he saw that the noble man opposite had no ill intentions, he dared to accept his kindness.  The three of them were probably very hungry, so they immediately started to eat voraciously. It looked like they hadn't eaten in a long time.

    After talking to Huang Mingyuan, he learned that this man¡¯s name was Du Laosi, who was from Zhangqiu, Qizhou (Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province), and was from Yunhe River.?Conscripted laborers.  The older child was his fellow countryman Fu Gonger, and the younger one was his son Du Yao.

    Hearing these two names, Huang Mingyuan was stunned. It was hard to say just one person, but these two people together could be Du Fuwei and Fugong Er.  After all, the surname Fu is a rare surname. In addition, both of them are from Qizhou, so it seems that they are inseparable.

    But Du Fuwei should be younger than Fugong'er, otherwise he wouldn't be called his brother. This Du Laosi is obviously much older than Fugong'er.

    Looking at Du Yao who was fighting with Tofu Nao, Huang Mingyuan thought to himself that if it was this child, he would be right.

    It was fate that they came thousands of miles to meet each other. Seeing that the other party was Du Fuwei, one of the three peasant armies who later became famous all over the world, Huang Mingyuan also became somewhat interested in these two people.

    Huang Mingyuan smiled and said to Du Laosi: "Du Laosi, let me ask you, aren't you all from Qizhou? You are thousands of miles away from here, how can you come to Sizhou to seek life?"

    Du Laosi's face darkened, and he quickly said: "To tell you the truth, I don't know why the officials would let us come to this place. Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching in the countryside, and the wheat will rot in the fields, we can't go home.  We are also very anxious. This time, tens of thousands of us from Qizhou came, all of whom were sent to dig the canal."

    Huang Mingyuan asked again: "Then do you know where the locals have gone? In addition to guarding the border, shouldn't they be doing labor service nearby?"

    "Noble sir, who says it's not the case? I heard that all the strong men here have gone to the Eastern Capital, and there are no one left. Then we came to fill the vacancy here."

    Huang Mingyuan immediately understood that there were not enough local servicemen, so the local government began to implement cross-regional service.  Although this made up for the shortage of labor, it actually increased the mobility of manpower and increased the difficulty of government management.  And because these servants had left their hometown and could not return home for a long time, they were frightened, which increased the possibility of causing rebellion.

    Du Laosi also didn¡¯t know Huang Mingyuan¡¯s identity. Seeing Huang Mingyuan¡¯s appearance, he was full of fear and did not dare to speak.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
