"...Although I don't know what the results will be in this exam, judging from the evaluations in the past two years, Master is very satisfied with my studies. If I perform well on this study trip, maybe we can achieve the goal of two brothers." As agreed at the beginning, the eldest brother has to wait for the younger brother, so that the younger brother also has a chance to catch up with the eldest brother's back. ※% Top ※% Point ※% Small ※% said, Sincerely, salute.

Also, I heard that there was a bloody battle in Lian County that changed the color of the world and the earth, and I am very disappointed. I hope that my elder brother will prepare a good story."

He read the contents of the letter in his hand again, and the person who read the letter showed a reassuring smile on his face.

"Husband, what makes you so happy, can you share it with me?"

"Ah, my brother gave me a letter." He raised the letter in his hand, and the smile on the man's face became a little more proud.

"Is she that little devil that your husband keeps talking about all day long?" The woman's voice was not coquettish, but rather frank and aggressive. Just by listening to her voice, you could tell that she was a very independent woman.

"He is no longer the little brat he used to be. I haven't seen him for a few years, and he must have grown into a young man."

"Then it's time to think about marriage. Although logically speaking, a man cannot get married without a crown, but these days are so chaotic, and no one can predict what will happen in the next moment. Just like you, a silly goose. , the enemy army is obviously strong, but you still have to lead people to guard the front line of the city. As a result, you almost died, but you have not left any descendants. Speaking of which, I am not living up to expectations, but if you come out What kind of accident happened? How can I explain it to your ancestors?"

There was a little bit of resentment in the woman's voice. Obviously, women in this era have a natural sense of responsibility when it comes to giving birth to offspring. In other words, in the eyes of most people, the main person responsible for such things lies with the woman. , not the men’s side.

It is precisely because of this that the reason of "having no offspring" can be openly used as a reason for husbands to divorce their wives, and it is an important reason.

However, considering what ordinary men have to bear in this era - the burden of the family, the possibility of being drafted into corvee at any time, and who knows when they will be drafted. Unless, like some folk customs in Guangdong, the wife is asked to go out to work. My husband is at home having a leisurely meal, otherwise it would be understandable for such a situation to occur.

Of course, we must despise those terrible men who pretend to be uncles at home and even let their wives go to the ground when they are pregnant with a child.

However, if it is something like a matriarchal society, it is not included in the discussion because it is another social structure.

"Let's wait for things like marriage. He is not me. He is not the eldest grandson of the family. He is destined to have far fewer things than me. If possible, I hope to let him make his own choices, even if he is the elder brother. The gift for him is ready."

"Okay, everything is up to you. But it's so late, so you should go to bed."

"Go to bed after approving these official documents. You also know the current situation in the entire county. If these things are not dealt with quickly, it is very likely that tomorrow's spring planting will be delayed. That is a matter of one or two years. However, You must wait for me. Didn't you just say that if you want to renew our family's incense quickly, how can I not comply with my wife's call?"

"You damn ghost~ I'm going to get you some porridge so that you can bully me for a while."

This will probably be a wonderful night, although as a man, there will inevitably be back pain, leg cramps and so on the next day.

It's a pity that there is neither Welkang nor Huiren Shenbao in this era, so we can only rely on young people and strong energy to survive...

Ahem, don't go on talking about this kind of thing. I always feel that there will be many innocent people shot.

Although I had a night that could barely be called a beautiful one, when I woke up the next day, I had to face a mountain of official documents, and even though they were not written on the official documents, I still needed to send officials from the government to handle the matter.

things.

This is Lian County, a place devastated after a great war.

And compared to the villages and Wubao outside the county town, the situation in the county town is enough to be called a paradise.

At least this place has not been breached by the enemy, it has not been raided by the enemy, and it still has the ability to protect the people in the city.

Walking hurriedly on the street, the magistrate of Lian County had a very calm face, even though there were ruins beside him, all due to the war - in order to have more shields to protect the walls.

Soldiers and militiamen, all door panels have been torn down

Very simple wooden rafts were made from them, and all the usable stones were transported up the city wall and handed over to the militia to attack the enemies who boarded the city. Even the archers who had shot all the arrows they had left in their hands would join in.

Throwing stones is a risky business.

It can be said that if it had not been for this spirit of sacrifice, Liancheng, a city that had been abandoned and now once again stands on the land of the Han Dynasty, would still be under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and might once again become a grassland barbarian.

People's pasture.

Along the way, we can often see pedestrians on the roadside taking the initiative to salute the County Magistrate Lian. After that hard battle, the County Magistrate, who is always on the front line of the battlefield fighting with the soldiers and civilians in the city, won the victory of the entire county.

It was unanimously affirmed by everyone. Even if it weren't for the fact that he still needed to stay in Lian County to preside over the post-war recovery work, he was also one of the most dazzling people in the Winter Festival Medal.

Of course, another important reason why County Magistrate Lian was unable to return to Jinyang was because of his father's efforts to stop him.

"You are the county magistrate appointed by Mr. Zhou Mu. Now Lian County needs you. Mr. Zhou Mu needs you in Lian County. You must not leave at this critical time. If you give up the battlefield that belongs to you, you will not be able to leave in the future.

Call me daddy, I don’t have a son like you.”

Well, there is only so much content related to this in the letter, and it is placed at the end. The first part is full of longing for his son and the fact that the "stinky boy" in his family has been able to make contributions to Lord Zhou Mu and let his father

It gives me a lot of face in front of my colleagues.

However, County Magistrate Lian knew very well that if he violated his father's request, even though Li Shushi, the state pastor, might not say anything, his father, who was a staunch supporter of Li Shushi, would definitely do what he said.

Therefore, even when he is off, County Magistrate Lian is still working on the front line, working hard to practice his father's teachings.

Of course, when the winter festival comes, he will be somewhat jealous that his younger brother can be happy and filial in front of his father, but because today's work, in addition to his father's "teachings", also has his own will, so

It's not too difficult.

After talking for a long time, who is this County Magistrate Lian? Why are the father and son so loyal to Li Shushi?

"Hey~ Isn't this County Magistrate Li Yun? Do you want to come and sit here at the slave's house? I've prepared hot kumiss here~"

The person who greeted the young magistrate was not some wandering woman, but a grassland barbarian living in Lian County.

Many of these grassland Hu people were Qiang people who had already migrated inland during the reign of Emperor Huan, and a small number were Hu people tribes who later entered this area as the rule of the Han Dynasty weakened. Then when Huang Zhong's troops appeared in the north and even

After visiting Liangzhou, they did not choose to leave. Instead, they decided to leave.

Living here, perhaps I feel that although Li Shushi and the officials he appointed are very tough on many things, there are no discriminatory provisions in legislation. As long as they abide by the orders issued by the Bingzhou Army, their lives and property will be at risk.

Safety can be guaranteed the same as that of the Han people.

After some intense struggles in the early stages, these alien races have now basically agreed with the rule of the Bingzhou Army.

Even many tribes believed that they were already serious Han people after being treated in this way, and they shed their lives and blood for the rule of the Han people. This is not wrong, because these Hu people played an outstanding role in the defense battle of Lian County.

Small effect.

At least they did not rebel under the temptation of the Xianbei people, and they tried their best when defending the city. It can be said that their performance was even more satisfactory than those of the Han people. They were really good citizens.

But the only thing that gives County Magistrate Li Yun some headaches is that because of the extremely poor living environment of their ancestors, in order to obtain more descendants and continue the entire tribe, the folk customs of these Hu men and women are quite open.

Comparatively speaking, Hu men may be easier to manage. They cannot violate Han laws to force Han women to have sex with them. The results of doing so are often quite severe. Anyway, Li Shushi and various powerful coal mines have always

There were not enough slaves to mine, and such a sentence was even more famous and feared than exile or death.

But for those Hu women with open folk customs, it is a big headache - this does not mean that those Hu women will cheat after marriage. In this regard, even the grassland people have changed with the consolidation of patriarchal society.

It is very taboo, but if there is no constraint of marriage, they are very open-minded, just like now, they will never be stingy with men who like them.

Cherish her smile and flirtatious talk. If the two parties meet each other's eyes, even if they are not married and have sex, there will be no taboo. Anyway, even if someone is killed because of this, the tribe behind the woman will bear the responsibility. These tribes even welcome children of Han descent.

Because it is said that children with mixed Han ancestry will be smarter than pure-blooded Hu people - the reproductive advantage of mixed blood is so willful.

Simply speaking, the folk customs of the Han people at this time were not as rigid and restrictive as those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although the relationship circle of Hu Feng women before marriage was relatively chaotic, at least they could basically guarantee their loyalty to their husbands after marriage. In fact, if they could not guarantee

In this regard, the Hu tribe, which has begun to integrate into Han society, will not actually interfere too much with married women.

Because of this, it is not surprising that Li Yun, the county magistrate who can already be called the "star figure" of Lian County today, is favored by those fierce, bold and unusually open-minded Hu women.

"It turns out to be Lan Luo. I heard that your tribe suffered a lot this time. The reward from the county should be distributed. Can it make up for it? It's a pity that Lian County's treasury has been squandered by me during the war. Otherwise, otherwise

I can compensate you some more..."

Li Yun did not reject the other party directly, but instead started chatting with him on the roadside, and the things they talked about were all related to the life and development of the tribe, so the Hu girl had to respond carefully, otherwise the top official of Lian County would

If the chief misunderstood something and lost a good thing that he might have obtained, it is estimated that the tribe leader would hang her upside down and calm down.

This is the short-sighted but realistic wisdom of prairie people. But precisely because of this, County Magistrate Lian used this method to get rid of the woman in front of him who was likely to cause trouble - at least tonight's public grain meeting

It's a normal amount, not an excess.

After getting rid of the enthusiastic Hu girl, Li Yun visited various areas of Liancheng. He solved many problems that were not difficult to say, but would be quite troublesome if they were accumulated, which greatly improved the reconstruction of Loulian County.

Work becomes smoother.

Of course, the most important thing is the repair and reinforcement work of Lian County city walls and the resettlement of residents in wartime houses.

Simply because this battle was too brutal, it made the latter problem easier to solve. By the way, it also provided a lot of raw materials for the former. However, because it is still winter, the progress of the project is still unsatisfactory.

"County Magistrate Li, please take a rest. I don't have anything good to entertain Magistrate Li. I only have a cup of hot water to express my feelings."

"Uncle, you are too polite. In the previous battle, you cut off twenty-three enemy heads. That's amazing! If you really think I did a good job, I hope you can go to the county government next spring.

Take up a position here. Guide and guide us young people. If we can learn the three basic things from you, this battle will be much easier to fight."

"Hehe, it's rare that someone can appreciate this old man. No problem. I just like you Mr. Li. As long as he sees Mr. Li, he will be reminded of the time he used to serve under General Li Yan.

The days of serving under my command.”

"Oh~Uncle, the General Li Yanli you are talking about is the one from the Li family in Lishi..."

"That's right, that's right, he is the grandfather of the current Lord Zhou Mu. Speaking of which, Lord County Chief, your surname is also Li. Is it possible that you are also related?"

"Yes, Mr. Li Junshi is my great-grandfather."

"I see. I see. As expected of someone from the Li family, he has courage and courage~!"

Yes, Li Yun is also from the younger generation of the Li family in Lishi, and to be more precise, he and Li Bai also belong to the third generation.

This is natural, after all, the younger brother who wrote to him is called Li Bai, and his father is called Li Ke.

Yes, he is the uncle hiding in Li Shushi's personal bodyguards. Of course, thick hair is definitely not a bald head.

Speaking of the lawn mowing game popular in modern society in another dimension, most of the male characters have one head washed, cut and blown, and our Dianwei children's shoes have a shiny bald head, but those shapes are different in this

But the world is definitely one of rebellion among rebellions. Even being burned at the stake is not an exaggeration for rebellion. Even one of the punishments in this era is to cut your hair.

It is conceivable that if a modern person travels to this era, unless he describes himself as an overseas person, there is a high chance that an old farmer in the countryside will "take out the demons" with a hoe. Even if the old farmer is timid and
