“…… In recent years, there has been a severe drought in the world and a large number of refugees in various places, so it should be that the people of all counties across the country should work together to tide over the difficulties, but how can the counties in the Rushui area stay out of the situation and stand by and watch the disaster of refugees in Luyang County? Aren't those counties the cities and counties of my Great Jin? If the counties are willing to allocate money and food to help, then I, Luyang County, are also willing to stabilize the refugees in the territory for them and prevent them from flowing north, otherwise, our Luyang County will not care where those refugees like to go! ”

At noon that day, in the main hall of the county government of Luyang County, the Marquis of Luyang and the county magistrate of Luyang County, Liu Wei, sat at a table, and verbally said the above paragraph to Liu Wei. Yes, extremely! What the townsman said is extremely true, this is not the internal affairs of a county in Luyang County, even if the counties around Rushui are unwilling to help, how can they be allowed to stay out of the matter? ”

Saying that, this Liu Xian and Liu County Commander looked at the Luyang Township Marquis with admiration, and praised sincerely: "The Township Marquis is worthy of being a hero in my Luyang County, so that the money and food problem that has plagued you and me for a long time has finally found a solution." Some time ago, Liu sent people to Rushui counties to seek assistance, according to the sent messenger back to report, the counties around Rushui are not seriously affected by the drought, and they are not affected by the refugees for the time being...... The money and grain subsidies in several counties should be worth the official warehouses in our county, right? In this way, the canal that you and I have discussed can finally start construction......"

"yes." The townsfolk of Luyang were also in a good mood.

Out of joy, although the Marquis of Luyang was ready to return to the mansion, the county magistrate Liu Wei insisted on inviting him to his home for a drink, and he should celebrate the incident.

Liu County's home is not far away, it is in the backyard of the county government, but he can't resist the kind invitation of this Liu County Order, so the Luyang Township Marquis has to agree to the appointment and sit down to eat and drink.

After drinking the three rounds of wine, Liu Wei suddenly said regretfully: "It's a pity that the townsman came up with this trick a little late, if I can get a month earlier, maybe the farmland in my Luyang County can still have some harvest left from the hands of the refugees......"

『…… I'm really sorry, Zhao only heard my son say this trick this morning."

The townsman of Luyang snorted twice, his face expressionless.

As if he realized the loophole in his words, Liu Wei hurriedly remedied: "Don't misunderstand, Liu didn't mean to blame the township, but just felt sorry for this year's harvest in my county." ”

"I understand that the fields in my house have also lost a lot this year."

The Luyang townsman nodded and did not pursue it.

Indeed, in view of the fact that he did not dare to open the official warehouse in Luyang County, the farmland in the county was inevitably stolen and robbed by the refugees, and the unripe grain and wheat in the fields were pulled out by those refugees even the poles, even the fields belonging to the Luyang Township Marquis's Mansion were also the same, although the Luyang Township Marquis had some resistance, but he could not stop so many refugees, so he could only retreat and send the servants and guards in the government to guard the barns between the fields, at least to keep the old grain piled up in the barns.

As for the grain and wheat in the field, the Luyang townsman could only choose to give up.

Fortunately, his township marquis mansion has the honor of "eating 2,000 households", even if the loss of crops in his own fields that year is not too serious, but if this matter is magnified to the entire Luyang County, Luyang County has really suffered heavy losses this year, not to mention the taxes set by the imperial court, I am afraid that even the two thousand households handed over to the Luyang Township Marquis Mansion may not be able to make up for it.

But the problem is that Zhao Yu only told the Luyang Township Marquis this trick this morning, and the Luyang Township Marquis couldn't help it.

After hesitating for a long time with the wine bowl, the Marquis of Luyang put down the wine bowl and said to Liu Wei with a somewhat tangled expression: "Liu Gong, I really don't hide it, in fact, it was not Xiaohou who thought of this trick to 'coerce the counties', but the youngest son of Xiaohou's family. ”

Liu Wei was pouring wine for the Luyang townsman, and was stunned when he heard this: "As far as Liu knows, the townsman has two sons under his knees, but they are only about ten years old......

"Hmm." The Marquis of Luyang nodded slightly, indicating affirmation.

Seeing this, a strong surprise appeared on Liu Wei's face, and he asked in disbelief: "Xianghou, you mean that the person who came up with this trick was actually a ten-year-old child?" ”

The Marquis of Luyang nodded and said: "These days, Xiaohou is also troubled by raising money and food, but he can't do it, until yesterday, my youngest son Zhao Yu proposed to me, let me discuss with Liu Gong, see if I can get some money and food, so that those refugees can work for food......

"Huh?"

Liu Wei's eyes widened again: "Isn't this the method you came up with in the first place, the villager?" Ling Gongzi even thought of this trick? ”

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and asked curiously: "Wait, the young son that the townsman said, but the son who accidentally fell from a tree in the townman's mansion a few days ago, causing him to lose his past memories?" ”

"Huh?"

The Marquis of Luyang was slightly stunned, frowned and asked, "Liu Gong, how do you know?" ”

"Don't get me wrong." Liu Yi explained with a smile: "It was said by a goddess surnamed Sun in the city, these days, the old woman has said that even the townsman knows her fame, and asked her to go to the townman's mansion to exorcise evil spirits for the son......"

The Marquis of Luyang frowned when he heard this, and he looked very displeased.

Obviously, he had paid the goddess a rich gift, and specially told the other party not to spread the matter, but he didn't expect that the old woman's mouth was so lax, and she used this matter to increase her fame, which is really hateful!

Seeing that the township marquis of Luyang was angry, Liu Wei was relieved: "The township marquis is angry, and when I turn around, Liu asked someone to warn the old woman, telling her to stop talking nonsense...... In contrast, the young son of the townsman who is more curious about the lower is true, if what the townsman said is true, this son's intelligence is afraid that it is unusual. Has Ling Gongzi been brilliant since he was a child? ”

"This ......"

Since he had not personally taught his two sons in the past, the Marquis of Luyang was not sure whether his youngest son Zhao Yu was so smart.

Maybe it's possible that he fell from a tree that day and opened his mind?

This is not an unfounded speculation, after all, the alchemist told him that his young son would be doomed when he was ten years old, and he would die if he could not do it, but if he could pass it, his future future was limitless.

If what the alchemist said back then was true, then, after his young son had passed that catastrophe, I am afraid that he would no longer be able to look at it with the eyes of the past.

"Probably." The Marquis of Luyang said vaguely.

Hearing this, Liu Jian couldn't help but be happy: "Why is the township so vague? Is Ling Gongzi very smart, and the townsman, as his biological father, doesn't even know? ”

This made the Luyang Township Marquis a little ashamed: "Xiaohou rarely teaches my son ...... in person on weekdays."

"Ahh

When Liu Wei heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Xianghou, how old is Liu Mouxu, how old is you, and I have a little experience in this regard." …… In order to seek officials and make a living, Liu also neglected to teach the dog, and even once regarded it as a burden and a drag, but now that he is getting older, he misses the days when he was pestered by the dog, but my son is now an adult and has his own ambitions, and I can't stop him as a biological father, so I can only let him go on his own and leave my wife in Luyang County...... The two sons under the hands of the townsman are still young, and there are still nearly ten years before the brothers grow up, and the townsman still has the opportunity to taste the love of father and son, don't miss it, wait until Liu's age, and then regret it......"

“……”

The Marquis of Luyang was thoughtful.

After two o'clock that night, the Luyang townsman returned to his mansion.

At this time, Zhou had already had dinner with the brothers and Jingnu, and waited for her husband to return in the couple's bedroom.

When he saw the Luyang Township Marquis return to the house, Zhou said with a little complaint while loosening his clothes for him: "I went to the county seat today, why did I come back so late?" Although there are guards accompanying him, he has been unstable outside recently, and his husband should be vigilant. …… Not? Such a big smell of alcohol, drinking? ”

"Ah, I'm happy today, so I drank a few bowls of wine with Liu Gong and delayed the hour."

"Happy?"

Zhou poured a bowl of water for her husband and delivered it to him, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"Huh."

The Luyang townsman, who was a little drunk, stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of his wife's nose, and said with a smile: "The problem that plagued the husband and Liu Gongyueyu finally has a way to break the situation today!" ”

"Huh?" Zhou was slightly stunned, and then asked in surprise: "What the husband is referring to, is it the problem of money and grain for the construction of the canal?" ”

"Exactly!" The Luyang townsman nodded and took a few sips from the bowl.

"Husband has figured out a way?" Zhou's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "It is worthy of being a husband!" ”

"Ahem, ahem."

Hearing Zhou's words, the Marquis of Luyang, who was drinking water, choked for a moment, glanced at his wife with admiration on her face, and said vaguely.

"How come you can choke on water like a child?"

Zhou stepped forward and gently patted her husband's back, rubbed it again, and then asked curiously: "I don't know what the husband has come up with, can you tell the concubine?" ”

The Marquis of Luyang hesitated, and then told the Zhou family the method proposed by his youngest son Zhao Yu.

After listening, Zhou also praised it: "This plan is wonderful, worthy of being a husband!" ”

"Hmm...... Well, it's nothing. ”

The townsman of Luyang turned his head a little weakly and pretended to drink a saliva.

Seeing this, a little doubt flashed in Zhou's eyes.

She knows her man too well, and in her cognition, her husband is sometimes as naïve as a child who has not grown up, for example, after she came up with a way to let refugees 'work for food' a while ago, although her husband did not disclose it to anyone other than Liu Xianling, he was very proud in front of her.

Of course, at that time, she also praised her husband with interest, which made him very useful.

Today...... What's going on?

Zhou's fox looked at her husband suspiciously, which made the Luyang Township Marquis more and more weak, and immediately changed the topic and said: "By the way, Yin'er and Yu'er, what did you do today?" ”

Zhou couldn't see any clues from her husband's face, and replied when she heard the words: "Yin'er is still studying in Mr. Ram's house today, and as for Yu'er, he accompanied the concubine to say something in the afternoon." ”

"What did you say?" The Luyang townsman, who pretended to drink water, secretly glanced at his wife.

Zhou replied with some doubts: "It's nothing, the concubine just told Yu'er something about his childhood......"

"Oh."

"But the concubine found that Li'er was really smart, and after falling from the tree that day, she felt that Li'er had grown up a lot all of a sudden, and her words and deeds became like a little adult, hehe, very interesting. …… Didn't the husband talk to Yu'er yesterday, does the husband also think that Yu'er is getting smarter and smarter? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, that's it, compared to when my husband was young, it's still a line away......"

The townsman of Luyang gestured with some weakness in front of his wife, "one line worse".

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and said to Zhou seriously: "By the way, from tomorrow, ask Yu'er to stay with me for a few days, anyway, that kid can't stay in the house, I'll take him out to gain some knowledge." ”

"Huh?"

Quite surprised, Zhou turned her head to look at her husband, but saw that his husband had avoided her gaze for some reason.
