So the salary of the manure pickers was finally recruited at one hundred coins per day. Even so, the income was three copper coins per month, which was comparable to the monthly salary of a fifth-rank court official.

The dandies asked Yang Zuan to let the yamen servants go to each village to inform them.Hearing that one hundred wen per day and three monthly salaries, even many yamen servants were tempted, and wished they could just take off their clothes and sign up by themselves.

This news shocked more than 100 villages and villages in Huxian County. On the day of registration, thousands of people flocked to the Huxian County Government to register.

If it wasn't for Yang Zuan's early preparations for this, when he asked the yamen servant to notify him, he asked to only recruit middle-aged men who were able-bodied, able to drive a horse-drawn carriage, and those from poor families would be given priority, otherwise more people would sign up.

After a few days of busy work, I finally arranged things almost.

The first batch of nearly a hundred farmers picking manure has also been arranged, ready to drive the manure truck into Chang'an City to pick manure.But these hundred farmers drove the dung truck into Chang'an City to pick up the dung on the first day, and something happened...

This day Li Wangyou fell asleep again until he woke up naturally, he had nothing else to do, so he simply called Niu Wu, and the two of them rowed a small boat, leisurely fishing in the lake of his mansion to pass the time.

As soon as he caught a lively red carp, he heard someone on the shore calling him loudly.

"Ziyou, something has happened, don't go fishing anymore, come back quickly!"

"You kid! We're all dying of anxiety, you're still in the mood to fish, come back quickly, something happened!"

Those jumping and shouting on the shore were the playboys and their party.

Li Wangyou was baffled, what happened to this well-behaved one?

Seeing the anxious look of the dudes, he didn't dare to delay, he threw the red carp back into the lake again, and told Niu Wu to row a boat to the shore.

As soon as the boat reached the shore, Cheng Chumo jumped up directly: "Ziyou, you are still in the mood to fish, something has happened! Quick, come with us to Chang'an City!"

Li Wangyou hadn't stood still on the boat, and he jumped onto the boat so suddenly that the boat swayed from side to side on the spot. If it wasn't for Niu Wuyan's sharp hand, he quickly supported him, so that he wouldn't fall into the lake go.

"Brother Chumo, what are you panicking about? The sky won't fall, so you should make it clear first." Li Wangyou gave Cheng Chumo an angry look.

Cheng Chumo was angry, and before he had time to speak, a group of dandies surrounded him, explaining to him what happened today, which made Li Wangyou feel dizzy, and finally figured out what happened, so that the dandies Such a rage.

Today is the first day for the farmers recruited from Hu County to enter Chang'an City to pick manure.

More than a hundred farmers drove forty or fifty dung trucks into Chang'an City early in the morning.

These dung carts were rebuilt by craftsmen based on four-wheeled carriages.Each dung truck is equipped with two farmers. They not only pick up the dung, but also clean up the road toilets, and then drive the dung truck to the counties and counties around Chang'an City, and sell it to the agricultural officials.

Things are not complicated, and the farmers naturally don't think this is a hard job.Compared with facing the loess in the ground with your back facing the sky, and breaking a drop of sweat into eight petals, it is really an easy job.

Picking manure is smelly and tiring, but compared to the income of three consecutive monthly salaries, the farmers don't dislike it at all, but enjoy it.

Those peasant households were envied by many people who were selected to pick up manure in Chang'an City.Even those who could not be called daughter-in-law because of poverty in the family, after being selected to help the Hu County uncle pick up excrement, there are not a few of them who take the initiative to come to say kisses.

This made the honest and honest peasant households in Huxian County so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Today, I have to drive into Chang'an City to start work, which made many farmers lose sleep last night.Although Hu County is next to Chang'an City, many peasant households entered Chang'an for the first time and were extremely nervous.

Forty or fifty excrement trucks lined up for public inspection, and after entering Chang'an City from Mingde Gate, they spread out in accordance with the areas assigned to them by the dudes, ready to go to the road toilets on the streets and streets. manure.

But before the farmers drove the dung truck to the road toilet, something happened.

Liu Shishi, the eleventh in the family, has ten older brothers and sisters, so he was named Liu Shishi.

Most of the ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty were illiterate, and most of them were named after their families.He chooses the name casually, and even thinks that the lower the name, the easier it is to support him.

Liu Shishi is the youngest in the family, but after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the only survivors in the family were a lame elder brother who couldn't work, and four older sisters who were married.Both parents have passed away, only Liu Shiyi leads his lame elder brother to depend on each other, and life is very difficult.

Although the four elder sisters also often subsidize their younger brothers, their own family life is also very tight, and they can't help much.

This time Li Wangyou asked the dandies to recruit dung-picking farmers in Hu County. Liu Shishi also applied for it with a fluke mentality, but he didn't expect to be selected, which made his family overjoyed and felt that the good days finally came. Looking forward to it.

It was the first time he entered Chang'an City to pick manure today, and Liu Shishi was excited and nervous at the same time.He was so engrossed in driving the dung truck that he didn't even dare to speak to his companions, for fear of getting distracted and causing an accident.

But the more you are afraid of accidents, the more unexpected you will be.

The dung truck had just turned a corner and was about to drive into the Lifang, when Liu Shiyi heard a scream from the side of the carriage.

He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating, he quickly reined in the horse, stopped the dung truck, and looked for the sound with his companions.

But he saw an old woman lying down next to the dung truck, her head was covered with blood, and she was holding tightly to the shaft of the dung truck with one hand, as if she was afraid that they would run away.

Liu Shiyi's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, I hit someone...

Datang has clear legal regulations on traffic accidents.

"Tang Law Shuyi" clearly stipulates: "In the streets and alleys of the city and among the crowd, those who drive horses and horses for no reason can be whipped fifty times, and those who kill for a reason will be reduced by fighting."

Fighting and killing is intentional homicide, and the maximum penalty is death, which is one class less than that, which means exile for three thousand miles.This is the highest level of exile, one of the five punishments of the Tang Dynasty. Generally, there are additional punishments. Three years of "living work" means three years of labor in shackles.

In other words, if there is a traffic accident in Datang, the driver driving the vehicle will be whipped fifty times.If you hit someone to death, you will travel three thousand miles and work in chains for three years. The punishment is quite severe.

Seeing that the dung truck he was driving hit someone, and even hit the other person's head with blood, Liu Shishi's whole body trembled and he was speechless.

He didn't know how he bumped into this old woman. He was already very careful when the dung truck turned a corner just now...

The other companion on the dung cart was also frightened so that his hands and feet were cold at this time, but he still had some composure. He quickly jumped out of the carriage and helped the old woman.

"Grandma, how are you? Is there something wrong? Grandma, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wait, I really didn't see you."

This movement naturally attracted the surrounding crowd to gather around.

It's not that everyone wants to watch the excitement, but in Datang, if passers-by turn a blind eye to what is happening around them, it is also "illegal".

"Tang Laws and Discussions" clearly stipulates that "the person whose walking power can help but does not help will be eighty sticks."

There are many similar laws, such as "If you see a fire, you should report it or not, and you should save it or not, and the crime of fire will be reduced by two." Anyone who hears about it and refuses to help them will be given a lower class, and those who are unable to go to the rescue with their own strength will immediately sue the neighbors for a lawsuit, and if they do not report, it will be regarded as not helping.”

In the face of fire, crime, etc., neighbors and passers-by have the obligation to help in time, otherwise it is illegal.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty punished those indifferent people who could have helped in times of crisis, but turned a blind eye and stayed out of it.

So when the dung truck knocked down the old woman, passers-by immediately gathered around and asked if they needed help.

The old woman's head was bleeding, and she looked seriously injured. She pulled the shaft of the car and shouted: "Come on, I hit someone! The goddamn driver, I hit someone! Help!"

Liu Shishi and his companions were so frightened that they were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

On the contrary, some passers-by hurriedly found Marquis Wu who was nearby, and escorted Liu Shiyi and his companions to the county government office, waiting for disposal, and the old woman was also sent to a nearby medical office for treatment.

Liu Shiyi and his companions had a bad start and were imprisoned in a prison in Chang'an County, waiting for Cui Zhuo's trial.

But when Liu Shiyi was put into prison by the Yamen servants with a mournful face, he was surprised to find that there were already several companions who had been recruited to pick manure in the prison.

After questioning, I found out that these farmers in Hu County had encountered similar things to Liu Shiyi after they entered Chang'an City today.
