"Sir, if you don't mind, why don't you go to the humble residence for a rest first? The Lord Prayer Book has been very busy recently, and I'm afraid that if you come to visit now, you will be disappointed." The young man suggested kindly, as if he was afraid that the other party would run away, and his warm and hospitable attitude annoyed the Zhao family.
The young lady was secretly suspicious.
Do young scribes believe everything they say?
What if the other person is lying?
Little did he know that the young man was not worried about this at all.
Who in Longwu dares to deceive the government?
"If that's the case, it's going to be annoying."
The young scholar nodded and accepted the invitation.
The young man smiled brightly and threw the unconscious man onto the horse's back with one hand. He held the reins and led the way with the two young ladies from the Zhao family.
Along the way, they did not forget to brag about the recent construction achievements of the official office, such as the large road extending from the government city under their feet! This road can accommodate three carriages in parallel. It not only connects the official road, but will also be paved to the road in the future.
The villages and towns surrounding the government office.
It greatly facilitates people in villages and towns to travel, and also helps them sell their own specialties, exchange what they have, and save time and manpower.
The young scribe frowned slightly when he heard this.
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do such corvee work."
Whenever the government office needs to carry out any project, it will recruit corvee labor from the people, and every household will force people of suitable age to participate in unpaid labor. Looking at the construction progress and scale of this avenue, it is definitely spring plowing and even Shen Tangping's Long Dance started last year.
The people born from the common people are the main labor force of each family.
How can they take care of the farmland at home while they are doing corvee work?
When I thought about it again, I felt conflicted.
This avenue was built flat and wide, making it smooth all the way, and the spring plowing in Longwu was also completed very well without any delay.
The young lady of the Zhao family whispered: "It's not a corvee."
The young man who was about to explain looked at her in surprise.
"How does Xiaolang know?"
The young scribe also looked at her: "Isn't she a corvee?"
The young lady of the Zhao family coughed slightly: "It's... my family said it. There is also a relative in the family who went to Heyin to do business. When he came back, he told him that there were few corvees in Heyin. Even if there were, they would pay the common people the same amount of money and food. Some of them took a long time.
Most of the heavy physical work is done by the warriors under Lord Shen, and the rest of the lighter work is done by the common people so as not to delay the farm work of each family."
It can even supplement household income and improve life.
Works such as land reclamation are done directly by Wu Dan warriors. If there are not enough agricultural tools for spring plowing, warriors will be asked to do it. Wu Dan warriors can do anything. When the young lady of the Zhao family saw that Longwu County's spring plowing was not delayed, she guessed that it was
What can I do?
This is also due to my father’s hard work!
In fact, when she first heard about this, she was a little unhappy.
My father is a general who is good at fighting!
How to do muddy work in the fields?
My father didn’t think so, and even told her with a smile that the past two years were rare peaceful days in his life: “Is killing on the battlefield more noble than farming on the farm? The former relies on killing to support his family, while the latter relies on farming to feed his family.
"
Zhao Feng sat and squeezed his sore feet: [Whether it is a general or an old farmer, which one is not making a living?]
He raised his finger again and pointed at his house, which could be regarded as a mansion: [There is a saying that 'if your fingers are not stained with mud, you will live in a mansion with scales'. Is this right? You can get used to this, but you can't think that my father
It is wrong to work in the fields.]
【My father is not so noble.】
Zhao Feng knew that his daughter felt sorry for him.
I feel more and more warm about this little cotton-padded jacket.
The young lady of the Zhao family didn't understand it at first, but her father has always been a hero in her heart. She will remember whatever he says. After running away from home for a while, she saw many scenes of troubled times along the way, and she can vaguely understand what her father said when she said that.
Mood……
The young scribe was shocked.
He looked to the young man for confirmation.
The young man nodded and said with a smile: "That's true. I feel sorry for the difficulty of governing the people, and I am also worried that delaying farming will make it difficult for the people to eat in the coming year, so I took this policy. Fortunately, several generals are understanding. The people under my rule are all grateful..."
Her expression is full of——
[Look, my lord is hot—so good!]
Young scribes are quite receptive.
I actually felt a little sad.
What's a pity?
It’s a pity that all of Qi Yuanliang’s lords were short-lived!
This unconventional Mr. Shen was indeed kind and loving to the people. He did not hesitate to bear the blame of outside warriors but also protected the common people. However, he was targeted by Qi Yuanliang. In a few words, the young man had already thrown away the captured man.
To colleagues who came to help.
She placed her order in advance today.
The young man is the daughter of the former Luxia County Sheriff.
Last year, Luxia County was robbed, and both her father and brother were killed in the battle. She was the only orphan left in the family and her brother's infant son, her nephew. Their aunt and nephew were entrusted to Shen Tang. After careful consideration, she chose to follow.
Unintentionally found a way out.
Now training in the military camp, her nephew is taken care of by her old housekeeper, wet nurse, and maid. The "family of five" relies on her salary, the assets she brought out, and the additional money allocated by Shen Tang. The house is simple and fully equipped.
.
The nanny opened the door with her nephew in her arms.
"Mother...ah, Lang Jun is back..."
The nanny originally wanted to call her "Ms.", but when she saw two unfamiliar faces behind her, she suddenly changed the title to "Mr.". The nephew also opened his arms enthusiastically and wanted to hug her. Who can refuse one?
Where are the fat white human cubs invited to pet?
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and it's a little heavy." She weighed her nephew with satisfaction and returned the child to the wet nurse. "Does the East Kitchen have good wine and good food? If not, let Uncle De make a trip. A distinguished guest is coming today.
, I need a good reception. Sir, please come in."
The former government office was robbed and most of the buildings were destroyed. Now these houses were re-planned and built later.
Neat and uniform, it makes people feel comfortable.
The two were arranged to stay in two guest rooms.
The conditions at home were simple, but they did not make the two young people feel neglected at all. Uncle De and the others even entertained them with great effort, which made the thin-skinned young lady from the Zhao family feel a little embarrassed.
On the second day, the boy got up early to warm up with the hammer dance in the courtyard.
After that, go to the military camp outside the city to order some.
I came back not long after and brought breakfast.
When I came back, I happened to see the young lady from the Zhao family dancing in a crude martial arts training ground. She stood and admired it until she stopped. She applauded: "What a good marksmanship, I have never seen it before. Is this what Xiaolang's family learned?"
The young lady from the Zhao family wiped her sweat.
Panting slightly, he said: "It's not really..."
It was taught by her father's generals.
"You haven't eaten the morning meal yet? I brought some back from outside. Where is sir? Why don't you see anyone so early in the morning?" The young man didn't know much to ask.
The young lady from the Zhao family curled her lips: "She must be lying in bed."
Unlike her who danced after hearing the chicken, that gentleman was very lazy and always had to be nudged three times before he was willing to get up. During these days together, she had to wait for him until the sun was up. After simply finishing the morning meal, the young scribe came over rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"I just went to the official office to inquire. They said that I will return home in the afternoon after praying to the Lord. Why don't you two go to Ruyao with me?"
Take a look at Ruyao’s development potential!
When I see my lord again then, I will definitely be impressed!
"It's better to obey orders than to be respectful. I'm sorry."
The city of Ruyao, with its re-planned city layout based on the ruins, gave the young scribes the first impression that it was spacious, clean, and simple. It was desolate but contained vitality. Scattered shops could be seen from time to time in the streets and alleys.
The young man took them to visit the most well-constructed part at present. When he was tired, he chose a restaurant with a good reputation for cooking. Just as he was about to ask the two about their taste, he saw the young scholar's eyes fell into the distance at some unknown moment.
She looked along.
A familiar scribe with a familiar silhouette, a cat crouching on his shoulder and cheek to cheek, was stopping in front of a dry goods stall.
