The righteousness shown by Taoyuan Village and even the entire Daoxiang County before this catastrophe made the emperor praise the emperor several times above the court, one of which is indeed because Taoyuan Village can do this, which makes people have to be amazed; The second is to use it as an example to inspire others, so the court's reward for Taoyuan Village is indispensable.

The emperor granted the people of Taoyuan Village eternal freedom from paying taxes, military service, and conscription, and gave them a large amount of farm tools, money, books, and food.

Everything is posted to everyone's heart, not those flashy things, which fully meet the needs of the people of Taoyuan Village.

And Chang Xile and Chang Yu were both rewarded individually, the most important of which was to give the Chang family the Iron Scroll Danshu. In addition to rebellion, the death penalty will be waived and will benefit future generations.

When Chang Xile took the iron scroll Danshu, the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, this emperor is really a benevolent monarch, and it is not in vain that they did their best to support it before.

Chang Yu was famous before, although it greatly boosted everyone's morale at that time and reversed the whole situation, the reason why he won so smoothly was that Chang Yu was definitely a well-deserved hero. Without him, no one is sure what will happen in the end.

But at the same time, Chang Xile was also very worried, such a terrible assassin was cut off under heavy guard, would the current emperor also be afraid of such a person? Will you also worry about losing your life in your sleep?

He's even prepared for the worst, secretly plotting how to blow him up. But now that he has the Iron Scroll Danshu, he can at least breathe a sigh of relief, he doesn't need to be so nervous, he just needs to live a normal life as before.

The emperor gave them a gold medal to avoid death, which also showed his trust in them. And it was not given to the two of them, but the entire Chang family's three rooms, which shows their appreciation. After all, the two of them are married without children and grandchildren, so it also allows more people to benefit and makes them feel more at ease.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The Chang family worshipped devoutly and were very satisfied with the reward.

After receiving the decree, the Chang family stood up from the ground, and Chang Xile said to the proclamation: "It is not easy for my father-in-law to come from afar, if you don't dislike eating some coarse tea and light rice in the cold house before leaving?" ”

Xuanzhi's father-in-law was a little chubby and a very festive person, and said with a smile: "Just waiting for Mr. Chang to say this, I have heard that the food in Taoyuan Village is simple but very delicious, and I have long wanted to taste it." This time I came out to announce the decree, but the miscellaneous family finally won it, so naturally I can't miss it! ”

The Chang family not only got the Iron Scroll Danshu, but Chang Xile and Chang Yu were also given the names of Mr. Qingzhu and Tiger Warrior respectively, although it was just a name and had no real power, but it was a great affirmation for them.

Appreciate Chang Xile's noble character and Chang Yu's courage and good fighting.

Chang Xile naturally knew that this was just a kind word, but the willingness of these people to stay had already shown their attitude, which showed that the emperor appreciated them very much.

The Chang family was originally worried about not knowing how to receive it, although the father-in-law's official was not big, but he was the person next to the emperor, and he came on behalf of the emperor, these people ate fragrant and spicy food in the palace, although the father-in-law's words were good, but in fact, they had not eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and their rough food was definitely not uncommon.

Chang Xile directly asked them to prepare according to the usual banquet, and since the other party was going to eat a peasant banquet, they served these dishes. Besides, they are not like before, it is still feasible to make some slightly more elaborate dishes, and there is no need to worry too much, after all, it will only be different if they really let them make that kind of exquisite dishes.

And this group of people ate very happily, and the father-in-law explained: "It's the first time for the miscellaneous family to go so far out of Beijing, and it's still the same boat for such a long time, and the whole person is dizzy every day, and he can't eat anything, and these meals are just right." ”

These elves can only listen to half of what they say, but they can also see that the other party is at least not disgusted, and it is enough to not feel that they are neglected by Chang Xile and his party.

Before leaving, the father-in-law also said: "Mr. Chang is so talented, why don't you plan to join the company?" Nowadays, there is a shortage of talents like Mr. Chang in the DPRK and China. ”

Chang Xile had previously submitted the recipe for preventing the post-disaster plague to Song Bang, which was not only adopted but also played a great role. And Song Bangcheng is a sincere person and did not take the credit of one qiē as his own, but said that he was always happy in 1510.

Later, Chang Xile did so many things again, and the emperor deliberately wanted Chang Xile to enter the court as an official, but Song Bangcheng helped him refuse according to Chang Xile's previous wishes, not only Chang Xile Chang Yu but also Chang Yu.

Although now it is his father-in-law who is asking, Chang Xile understands that this is what the emperor meant.

Chang Xile bowed his hand and said: "Thank you father-in-law for your love, I have a specialization in the art industry, and becoming an official in the court is not just about these little cleverness, I am more suitable to be this idle and loose person." If the country is in trouble, I will do my part, and I will do the biggest thing I can do to ensure the prosperity of the people in my hometown on weekdays. And Chang Yu is different from ordinary people, and it is difficult to fit in, so he is more suitable for this mountain wilderness. ”

Chang Yu's life experience can't be hidden from the emperor, and there is no need to hide it, so that everyone can know that such a character is unique, and there is no need to worry about the fact that there can be many more in Taoyuan Village, which is a little scary.

Hearing this, the father-in-law nodded, knowing that these two people had made up their minds, and he had just stayed not only to eat, but also to see the appearance of the Chang family's compound, but also to know what the mentality of these two people was.

The Changjia compound is not luxurious, not to mention that compared with the palace, it is slightly shabby compared with large households. But the interior is particularly comfortable, so that people can see that the owner is a person who enjoys peace and tranquility. Not only the Chang family, but also the entire Taoyuan Village. The soldiers who had been fighting bloody battles on the battlefield a while ago had just returned to the fields and began to work like ordinary farmers.

If it is an ordinary soldier, many soldiers who have made a lot of military exploits will let it go, and there is no nostalgia at all. And you can clearly see on their faces that they like it very much and enjoy this kind of life. Even if they knew that if they were officials, they would be prosperous and rich, but they couldn't impress them.

It's no wonder that when the court was thinking about what to reward before, Master Song would propose such a plan, and looking at their expressions when they received the reward, they knew that it was very much in line with their hearts.

He also read the village rules, the rules and regulations of the workshops, etc., as well as the village library, etc., and couldn't help but be amazed, and even ordered people to copy down those rules and regulations, and also took away a few of the reading experiences in the library.

No ambition, loyalty, kindness, and diligence are the emperor's favorite examples of the common people.

Chang Xile knew what his father-in-law had done in the village, and he also consciously let his father-in-law see it. All of them show that they are good people, great good people, and will never rebel, and the emperor must not have paranoia about being killed, let alone overestimate their strength.

What I didn't expect was that it didn't take long for a new reward from the imperial court to come again, this time it was awarded to Taoyuan Village as the title of 'the first village in the world', calling it an example for people all over the world to learn.

When the title of 'the first village in the world' was given, the entire Taoyuan Village was stunned, and everyone cheered, this is a great glory, and money can't buy it back!

Ten miles and eight towns all got the news, and they came to congratulate one after another, and the county magistrate also came to the village in person, and also sent the plaque that was made to the village, and the Taishou in the house also gave words of encouragement.

That night, another great banquet was held, this time with the reward of the previous court, so it was held extremely lively, and it was able to reach the level of the former rich days. Everyone jumped and jumped to tell their joy, and they were even more glad for what they had done before. Sure enough, there will be a report for paying, and the ancients did not deceive me.

And Li Zheng also said very strictly before the banquet that night: "We have to be loved by the emperor to be like this, as long as we are the people of Taoyuan Village for a day, we must abide by our responsibilities, don't forget what your name is when you get praise." If anyone does not follow the rules and commits a crime, even if the court does not pursue our past contributions or gives us a light punishment, we Taoyuan Village people will also be severely punished! Whoever dares to insult the name of our Taoyuan Village will be severely punished! ”

As early as the previous reward came down, the village made a lot of rules, mainly for the field personnel. In order to prevent Taoyuan Village from constantly annexing fields in other places due to the tax exemption benefits granted by the imperial court, resulting in monopoly and scourge, it was decided at that time that in addition to the existing land, unless new land was opened up in the future, foreign fields would not be regarded as Taoyuan Village's land. Whether it is a purchase or compensation or gift from others, it cannot be incorporated, and this item is not only included in the village rules, but also directly sent to the imperial court to set its rules, so as to save future generations of people who are short-sighted or bullied by people with intentions.

Second, there are strict regulations on naturalization in Taoyuan Village. Generally speaking, only marriages are allowed to enter, otherwise outsiders are not allowed to enter.

It was decided that the victims of the wharf would not be included in the household registration of Taoyuan Village, and the people who governed them were also elected from among the victims, and the people of Taoyuan Village were only responsible for supervising.

This is not because they are wary of these victims, for fear that they will have different intentions. Instead, there were thousands of people left behind, and if they were to join in privately, the whole village would be as large as a small county town. According to the management method of Taoyuan Village, it can be called a hegemon, which is not appropriate after all.

No matter how beautiful it is now, everyone has a long-term perspective. No one knows what the future holds, so it's best not to leave someone else in control.

"Lizheng, don't worry! Whoever dares to make a mistake, ask my fist first! Dayingzi shouted with a fist, menacing.

Someone laughed and said: "Dayingzi, you are pregnant with a child now, don't make yourself like a female rakshasa and don't affect the child." ”

Speaking of Dayingzi's pregnancy, Chang Xile was a little embarrassed.

Dayingzi's belly is already very big now, and the melon is about to ripen and land. So when he was a bodyguard before, Dayingzi was already pregnant, and she fought with the assassins several times at that time. And the most amazing thing is that with such a strenuous exercise, this child turned out to be fine, and Dayingzi, a careless mother, waited for her stomach to bulge. It was Ding Ning who found out that something was wrong, and then she knew that she was pregnant, and she almost scared everyone to death.

But Dayingzi also happily said that this baby is solid, and it will definitely be the same as her when it is born.

Dayingzi patted her stomach, "You have to start teaching from the stomach, my eldest girl has picked up her father, and she has to pick me up this time." ”

The belly slapped with a crackle, making everyone's eyebrows twitch and twitch.

"You can take it easy." Ding Ning wanted to cry without tears, if he could have a child, he would definitely not let Dayingzi come. He would rather die in pain than see Dayingzi take it seriously.

Dayiko smirked, "I, I just forgot." ”

Everyone didn't dare to look at Dayingzi, for fear of being so frightened that their hearts jumped out of their throats.

Although the pregnant women in the village are not as noble as the ladies in the city, at this time, they are mostly allowed to take care of them and not to do heavy work. This is especially true when the days have started to get better. If you are very happy and say that the pregnant person must also move, otherwise it will not be easy to give birth, and you will be eager to make offerings and not let you move.

In this world, even if the survival rate of Taoyuan Village is relatively high, but giving birth to a child is still closed by the ghost gate, and an adult or child cannot be saved if he is not careful.

The news that Taoyuan Village was named the first village in the world soon spread everywhere, and I learned that there were unmarried men and women in Taoyuan Village, and the threshold was about to be broken by the matchmaker, even if it was an old widower and widow in his forties or fifties, there were many people who fell in love with it. Especially men, after all, although they can still enjoy the benefits of Taoyuan Village when they get married, according to this secular rule, they can't enjoy the benefits of the imperial court if they marry and move away. And if they don't live in the village, it is difficult for their families to enjoy the benefits of the village.

Therefore, there are some people who are willing to be sons-in-law, and these people are often not in very bad conditions. This life is still a typical male world, and sons-in-law are looked down upon, and most of them are not very good at home, so it will be so. But now it is different, there are many conditions that are still quite good, they are all coming for the name of Taoyuan Village, hoping to become naturalized Taoyuan Village.

Of course, most of these are also farmers or small traders, and those who have some assets in the city or large landowners are still not enough.

However, now the people of Taoyuan Village are not as difficult as it was to marry a daughter-in-law when they were poor before, and they have already enjoyed such treatment when they were rich before, but they are not so exaggerated, so they are more calm when they face it again. Everyone pays more attention to character, otherwise if you can't marry a person, even if the village can be used as a backer, or even if you can't get by, you can promote reconciliation, but in the end, marriage is not a child's play, and this toss is always very hurtful. And if you marry someone who is not troublesome, it will be even more troublesome, and it will directly affect the whole family.

You must know that Taoyuan Village must actually practice joint sitting, and if one person behaves inappropriately, the whole family will suffer. It's like this was the case with a foreign daughter-in-law before, the man only looked at the other party's appearance before, but where did he know that he would do this under the delicate face. Always thinking about being cheap and not doing things, but because of laziness, there was a mistake in the workshop, which caused a lot of losses, and he also shirked his responsibility and blamed others, and the whole family was burdened after finding out the truth.

All the people in the workshop in the family had to be pushed down one level, and the woman was fined and not allowed to enter the workshop again for ten years.

The principle of Taoyuan Village has always been that you can make mistakes and make mistakes, as long as you have the courage to take responsibility, although there is a punishment, it will not harm the whole family. But if you make a mistake and don't repent, or even frame others, then the whole family will bear the pot together, and this is also to make the family members become supervisors.

And the husband was obedient to him because he married a beautiful girl, and even forgot the principles of being a man, at that time there was a process in the whole thing, and there was a day between the incident and the result, but the husband never explained the truth. Although there is a possibility that the husband is deceived, the person next to the pillow does not know how to be a husband, and he deserves to be punished for being so confused.

And it is not enough to punish the husband, there are other people, since the husband is soft-hearted or cannot supervise his wife for other reasons, then the whole family supervises together.

This effect is also very effective, and the little daughter-in-law will never dare to produce a moth again. The former high position in the family is gone, and what should be done is what it should be. After all, if she did this, the loss was very heavy. And there is a case record, which is a black spot that cannot be erased.

Chang Xile sometimes felt that the rules were too strict, but Li Zheng and the clan elders insisted that only in this way could the entire village be managed. The village is different from the outside, everyone is a relative, not afraid of being strict, but afraid of being too affectionate, but not doing things well. And Song Bangcheng, who Chang Xile also wrote to ask for advice, Song Bangcheng also said that there was no harm in doing so, and it was not too harsh in Taoyuan Village, because they were only punished financially and honorably, while corporal punishment was used elsewhere.

Seeing that Song Bangcheng had no objections, Chang Xile was relieved. He has a lot of theoretical knowledge but little practical knowledge, and most of the people in the village follow his opinions, and if there is no guidance from outsiders, they are very worried that they will go into a misunderstanding. This is also the reason why although he seems to know more than many people in this life, he still continues to enrich himself, because if he does not advance, he will retreat.

"Uncle, look, this watermelon is not big!" Yang Zi led a few small dots back from outside, holding a watermelon bigger than his head in his arms.

The watermelon was also brought back from overseas by Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun, the watermelon grown in the first year was very small and not red, and the taste was not very sweet, this year's look like it is much better, but everyone has not tasted it yet.

Chang Xi was also very happy to see it, "I just went to see it a few days ago, is it ripe now?" ”

"Familiar, listen to this voice." Yang Zi patted Chang Xile's ear.

"Listening to this movement, it must be red." Always rejoice. He has always liked to eat watermelon, especially in the hot summer, and nibbling a few slices every day quenches his thirst and hunger.

"Uncle, you wait, I'll go find a knife to cut ......"

Before Yang Zi finished speaking, Chang Yu directly broke it with his hand, and it was indeed a red scoop!

Chang Xile was a little speechless at Chang Yu's roughness, but he didn't say anything and just said that.

Everyone applauded after taking a bite, and Chang Xile wanted to cry silently, but he could be regarded as finding the taste of watermelon. When it was planted last year, he almost wanted to cry, and he wanted to cry, what the hell is this. Fortunately, everyone hasn't eaten it, they all think it's good, there is a lot of water, and when I went to work, I ate one and put it in the well to be chilled, which was very thirst-quenching, so I didn't let those watermelons go to waste.

"It's so much better than last year!" Yang Zi shouted.

"I just heard what you guys are talking about outside, what's going on outside?" Chang Xile finished eating a slice of watermelon before asking.

"It's nothing, it's just that the Dafu family who left the village before came back, kneeling at the entrance of the village and wanting to return to our village, saying that they were wrong before, and nothing is as good as their hometown."

Chang Xile almost forgot about this person, he was resolute at the beginning, leaving no way back, but now it is not so easy to come back.

"Did their family do something?"

Yang Zi was reluctant to raise his head from the watermelon, "Uncle, you are really like a god!" I don't know exactly what happened, and they didn't say anything. However, seeing that the family was very wolfish and dressed in tatters, the second aunt said that their clothes were still the same as when they were in our village before, and Dafu's son's hands were gone. It must be miserable outside, and there is no way to do it, so I can only come back with a thick skin. ”

Chang Xile nodded and stopped asking, as for how to deal with the presence of his own Li Zheng and the clan elders, this kind of thing usually does not bother him.

It didn't take a few days of daily joy to know what happened, but it was not difficult to guess, at the beginning Dafu left Taoyuan Village to go out to do business, and he dared to leave like this before, so it was very smooth at first, and the family lived a good life for a while. It's just that Daifuku's son later began to mix with the people in the city, and began to gamble again, and the temptation in the city was even greater, so he fell into it.

At first, the family could afford it, especially when the natural disaster first began, Daifuku took the opportunity to make a lot of money. But no one cares about Dafu's son's gambling, at most he just said a few words and finished it, but the gambling got bigger and bigger, but the court began to rectify again, and this way of making a fortune not only did not work, but also trapped a lot of money into it.

As a result, the family collapsed directly, and it was not that there were still some savings, but the business was more difficult than before in the future, but Dafu's son's gambling made the last bit of his belongings gone, not to mention, and later he owed a lot of debts, and Dafu's son was also cut off by the debt collector. They were still in debt outside, and they managed to find a way to run back to the village, because this was the last refuge, otherwise the whole family would have to be sold.

The Chang family shook their heads when they heard this, and Father Chang said: "Let's just say that this gambling is unacceptable, and Dafu didn't listen to the training at the beginning." You see that the three who gambled with his son before, they didn't dare to touch it anymore after being taught a lesson, and now they are all very promising, look at them again! ”

The shock of this incident to the people of Taoyuan Village was very direct, especially when he saw that Dafu's son had no hands, and the whole person became sick, and he didn't know how many sins he had suffered before. Looking at the other three people they gambled before, all of them were strong and very capable, and they even lamented that gambling was harmful. This also made everyone even more afraid to gamble, and the trend has been spreading.
