Fighting at the border means burning money. Even though Emperor Liang Yan ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds more than once, it was hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice and there was nothing she could do to help.
Mopanshan, which was simply wiped out, had a solid foundation, and Emperor Liang Yan was also thoughtful at the time, so it can be maintained to this day.
Fast forward to February 2, and spring plowing has begun in various places. Although the temperature in the northern state capital is still not high, people are still starting to plow the ground and other things.
Li Hui takes people out for inspection every day. If he encounters those who do not work well, the young people will be dragged to the ground and whipped. The old people will catch their sons and be whipped as punishment. Anyway, the execution is done in front of everyone. Since the good words have no effect,
Then just call.
Naturally, you will be obedient when the beating hurts. If you get through this year and watch for another year next year, you won't have to be so tired the year after that.
Watching the government officials applying ointment to each other every night made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
If a person lives his life by letting others supervise him, then what’s the point of that person? A few here and there can be left to their own devices, but if the whole county is like this, then we can’t just leave it to fate. As long as a few people live their lives well, others will also
That would be easier to handle.
"Sir, let's eat dumplings, stuffed with sauerkraut and pork. It's your last meal. It won't last until winter."
Shen Jue's voice brought him back to his senses. Looking at the uniformly sized pickled cabbage stuffed dumplings in front of him, he missed Cheng Xue again. They separated on the night of the first day of the first lunar month and have not seen each other for more than a month. Except for Li Tian and Li Huai.
At the back of the government office, the other three children were also in the military medical tent.
It has been a long time since the family gathered together to eat stir-fry.
"Thank you. No need for today. I have to go back and eat with the children." Li Hui declined his kindness and stood up, rubbing his temples.
Seeing this, Shen Jue put the plate in the food box, stuffed it into him and said:
"Then take it back and eat it with the children. Mrs. Li is not at home now. You must take care of yourselves and not let Mrs. Li get upset."
Li Hui looked at the food box in his hand and nodded gratefully. He knew what Shen Jue meant by doing this. He simply wanted to stay here and did not want his faction. The three cities occupied by Wutanxia and others have not yet said anything. What if?
If it is not returned, someone will definitely have to be sent to temporarily act as county magistrate.
This is where he gets upset!
Beiqi people are nomadic and don't like to be restrained. If they really return to the capital, the government officials will definitely be troubled again.
Returning to the back house, I looked at the dark main house and sighed. My "loneliness" has become more and more obvious recently, especially when I wake up in the middle of the night, I miss him even more.
"master."
"Take the dumplings and heat them up. Master Shen gave them to you."
"Yes." Tiandong took it and opened the door of Li Tian's room, "The second lady and the young master have been preparing all afternoon and are waiting for you."
Li Hui nodded, opened the door and entered the house.
Hearing the voices of the two children calling "Daddy", most of the day's fatigue disappeared immediately. This should be the origin of "Safe Haven".
"What did you do today? Did Sidan disobey your sister?"
"No." Li Huai shook his head hurriedly.
Li Tian also smiled and said "no" and patted the top of his brother's hair.
Since their mother left on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the siblings have grown up overnight. She and her brother used to always fight, but recently there were only two of them at home, and she realized how lovely her once noisy brother was.
Today's younger brother is so well-behaved that it makes her feel bad.
Li Hui felt distressed. He sat at the table holding one in each hand and looked at the bubbling copper pot, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
The two children were sensible and found their own stools. Li Tian stood up, filled a bowl of soup, and said:
"Dad has been very tired recently. Si Dan and I made mutton soup in the kitchen in the afternoon. You drink the soup to warm your stomach first, and we'll rinse the pot later."
Today is Li Tian's birthday, otherwise he would not have come back from the Yamen early.
He took out the things Cheng Xi had prepared in advance from his pocket, opened the box and said:
"This is your birthday gift from your mother and I. When they come back from the north, we can celebrate your birthday again."
Li Tian shook his head sensibly and took the things with both hands.
"It's already good to have a father and brother to celebrate my daughter's birthday. There is no need to make up for it. My daughter and brother just hate that they are young now, otherwise they could go to the north and contribute."
How a child grows up is closely related to the family. After all, "bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots" is just an individual example.
"Dad, can I join the army in the future? I also want to protect my family and the country. I heard from Tiandong that my eldest brother has gone to the battlefield with me. Isn't it tiring and dangerous?"
Seeing Li Huai's serious questioning look, Li Hui smiled, picked up a piece of mutton, and fed it to his mouth.
Every time he saw the child eating with his cheeks puffed out, he felt that he had been healed.
"Your brother went to the battlefield to help carry the wounded, not to fight the enemy. There is definitely danger, but it is still worse than those soldiers who fight hard. It is good that you want to protect your home and country, but if you work hard to practice martial arts in the future, only your
Only when you have sufficient self-protection ability can you protect your home and country. Otherwise, if you are injured and waste medicinal materials and military doctors, the gain will outweigh the loss."
"Well, I will definitely work hard. Now I can even stick to a stick of incense while standing in a horse-stepping position."
"Well, then my son has made some progress." Li Hui encouraged the child enthusiastically, but he did not forget to pick up food for his daughter...
…
Half a month has passed, and the battle situation in the north is still deadlocked at Wadalu, but it is obviously just a waste of time. After all, Xiao Song has a lot of supplies, and the wounded who were infected with the cold are gradually getting better and returning to the battlefield.
In this alien world without high technology, fighting for money means fighting for people.
Li Hui gave the military camp in the north all the conveniences, doctors, medicinal materials... everything he could.
Regardless of whether the doctors in the city are willing or not, only two doctors are left in each medicine hall for consultation, and the rest are sent to the military camp. With enough people and enough medicinal materials, the natural wounded can recover well. On the other hand, in Wadalu, the cold syndrome in the city is increasing day by day, especially
This kind of hot and cold weather is even worse.
Some Beiqi soldiers even coughed during the battle. In comparison, the destruction of the city was just around the corner.
At the beginning of March, all the people in Wutanxia who were infected with the cold disease were cured. Cheng Xue asked Tian Feng to deliver letters to the front line and then take people to plow the fields.
The recovered city will definitely not be returned. In this case, we must prepare for spring plowing and cannot waste time.
I know that this process is more difficult than in the northern state capital, but fortunately, Cheng Xue is their savior. If she hadn't been diagnosing their pulse day and night, the grass on these people's graves below would have grown very tall.
On this point, everyone has to cooperate and plow the fields.
Wutanxia was busy with spring plowing, and Wadalu City, which had been in a stalemate for two months, was finally broken.
The general who defended the city committed suicide and apologized. Eighty people in the city were infected with the cold. He gave up resistance just to give the people and soldiers a chance to survive. Even if King Beiqi had given supplies, he would not go so far as to send them...
