On the way back from the county seat, Song Dafu and Li Zheng and others looked at the houses outside the village from a distance, and several houses that looked a little dilapidated were located alone at the entrance of the village, looking a little desolate in the slightly dim dusk.

"I really hope that one day, all of us in Songjia Village can live a good life, and the troubled times are difficult!" Li Zheng sighed, every time he saw someone in the village who couldn't live because of poverty, Li Zheng's heart was very uncomfortable, but fortunately, after several years of hard work, the situation has been improving, at least there is no situation of selling children and daughters like other villages.

Song Dafu also sighed.

As long as the war does not stop for a day, the lives of the common people will not be really better.

"Our village is pretty good, although there are mountains around, and life is a little harder, but it will not be affected by the war, the world outside, that's called a chaos!" Li Zheng said with some emotion.

"yes!" Song Dafu nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"This new county magistrate looks good, he shouldn't be a person who will arbitrarily apportion exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and our life should be better." Song Dafu thought of the county lord he saw in the yamen today, compared to the previous old county magistrate who was greedy for money, this person seemed to be quite clear.

Li Zheng smiled noncommittally, the new official took office three fires, this warden who cleaned up the old county order as soon as he came up, the day of the yamen must change all of a sudden, whether the new county commander is a Qingming person He doesn't know, but this must be a person with means, see him act so neatly and neatly, you can know a thing or two.

Li Zheng turned his head and glanced at Song Dafu with a simple expression, he is really a fool with a foolish fortune, this one is just unintentional today, but he inexplicably let the new county magistrate take a look, this blessing, ordinary people really can't compare.

Why not your own daughter? Li Zheng sighed in his heart again, and his attitude towards Song Dafu became a little closer.

Song Wan'er has been listening to the conversation between Li Zheng and Song Dafu, and has repeatedly heard them mention the war. But in my memory, it seems that it has never appeared......

"Dad, is it messy outside? Is there a war going on everywhere? Song Wan'er looked up at Song Dafu and asked, the expression on her little face was a little innocent and curious.

She still knew what it meant to fight. But the situation I have seen in the past few days is not like it at all, the common people still have to pay food and taxes on time, and pay forced labor, she has always thought that she was reborn in an era of peace.

If there is also war. She has to prepare early, many things have to change, human life is not much guaranteed in this era in ancient times, let alone in the era of war, it is even more impermanent.

"Dad, is war terrible?" Song Yu couldn't help but ask.

Song Dafu glanced down at the two children beside him and sighed lowly.

Oh, yes! The war was terrible, the bones were piled up, the dead were everywhere, the wives were separated. The days of hunger and cold, although many years have passed, are still deeply left in the memory, and they have never really forgotten for a moment.

"Fighting is terrible, the most offended is our people, as long as there is a war, many people will die, and the food at home will have to be handed over, and when it is cold in winter, many people in the family will not be able to survive." Song Dafu said with emotion.

"Ah......h Can't get through it, is that what he thinks? often runs around the village, and Song Yu, who is already somewhat sensible, was stunned.

Song Wan'er rolled her eyes and raised her eyes to look at Yunmo.

Yunmo looked down as if he was perceiving. Facing Song Wan'er's thoughtful gaze, some inexplicable light flashed under her deep eyes.

I don't feel like a person with simple amnesia! Song Wan'er muttered to herself.

"Grandpa Lizheng, tell us about the outside world. What dynasty is it now, who is the emperor, and what is the era name? Song Wan'er couldn't resist Yunmo's gaze, and took the lead in looking away. Turning his head to look at Li Zheng, he asked.

"O dynasty!" Li Zheng sighed, thought about it, and then slowly spoke: "We are the Tianyuan Dynasty, about eight years ago, at that time reigned Emperor Longqing, in the winter of the third year of Emperor Longqing, the legendary Shenwuwei suddenly appeared in the source city of Kyoto in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and then there was a war in the sixteen states of Youyun, and then, the grassland tribes outside the Saiwai also seemed to have discussed, invaded the Central Plains in a big way, and knocked on the door of the border stopper. ”

"The war then burned from the border pass to the entire Tianyuan Road, the border pass was lost, and there were rebellions in various places, and the people were not able to make a living, until five years ago, the situation in various places became clear, and the tribes outside the border occupied the vicinity of the border pass, and they did not go away, and they had to burn and loot every year, and even attacked other state capitals in winter."

Speaking of this, Li Zheng sighed, his expression was a little unbearable, although the border pass was far away from Songjia Village, he didn't have to worry about the war over there affecting this place, but every time he heard how many people were killed, how many towns were looted, and how many people were displaced, he still couldn't avoid resentment in his heart.

"Three years ago, the war in the sixteen states of Youyun was initially decided, as well as the Yan King of Liuzhou, the Jin King of Chuzhou, the Jing King whose power was all over the south of the Yangtze River, the Wu King who sat in the source city, and the five forces divided the entire Tianyuan Road, plus the grassland tribes outside the Saiwai, and the wars between several forces continued to ...... year after year."

With Li Zheng's words, Song Wan'er seemed to see the scenes of war and displacement, one by one, human lives were as low as mustard, and what was never lacking on the battlefield was killing.

"In recent years, it has been much better, leaving aside the border gates and plugging for the time being, there is basically a consensus between the forces of all parties that they must first expel foreign enemies, and although small-scale wars and frictions between various forces occasionally occur, there are no large-scale battles."

"Wow, Grandpa Lizheng is so powerful, he knows so many things." Song Wan'er exclaimed, as for Song Yu, she was bored listening to it for a long time, and turned her head to look at the scenery on the side of the road.

War, power, secession, strife......

These things are still a little far away for a child who grew up in a small rural area, except for the curiosity at the beginning, he doesn't care much about the things after that, but Song Wan'er's focus makes people feel special.

"What does the little girl know? That's a big deal. Li Zhengle said, "These things, those who have the heart to pay attention to them know, after all, our Tianyuan Dynasty has been in war for many years, and these major changes in the situation are not a secret." ”

Isn't it a secret? Even so, to be able to know so much, you have to be a person with a heart! (To be continued.) )
