Chapter 845: Reward
this day.
Li Zhong got up early in the morning, first listlessly went to the field he was responsible for, and after making sure that there was no problem, he went home to cook.
Just as Li Zhong felt strange, there was a loud shout outside: "The second child of the family by the stream, hurry up and come out to greet the nobles, the patriarch of the Liang clan of Kuzhu County has come to visit your mother and son." β
"Liang." Li Zhong was shocked, and then the mother and son looked at each other, all of them showing shock.
Kuzhu County is a Liang family, or his mother's own clan, but it is a big family in Kuzhu County and the Chen family.
At this time, when Mother Li heard that the patriarch of her clan had arrived, she showed excitement and excitement, and hurriedly said, "Quick, little two, quickly help Weiniang to go out to greet the nobles." β
"Yes, mother."
As soon as the mother and son went out, they saw a large group of people gathered outside the house, among which in the center was a group of nobles dressed in brocade, and on both sides were nearby neighbors.
"Big brother!" Mother Li said excitedly.
She didn't recognize which nobleman was the patriarch of the Liang clan, but the eldest brother on her noble's side recognized it at a glance.
"Two... Sister,ThisΒ·Β·Β· It's the patriarch of the Liang clan, come and meet the nobles. Mother Li's brother also recognized his sister, and did not reminisce about the past, but immediately stammered and pointed to a noble person to introduce.
Soon, after Li Zhong's mother and son knelt down, Liang Liang, the patriarch of the Liang clan, helped the two up with a smile, then looked at Li Zhong's mother who was unable to move, nodded, and praised: "It's good, it's worthy of my Liang family style, and it's really filial." β
As he spoke, Liang Liang looked at the people around him, shook his head and said loudly: "Li Zhong is filial piety, and his reputation was passed on before the king, and he was praised by the king as 'good', and let the county Yin reward Li Zhong." Because the county Yin didn't know where Li Zhong's family was, he asked the old man to explore the way first. β
Liang Liang said, secretly happy in his heart.
He knew that the county Yin asked him to explore the road, not because the county Yin didn't know the road, but because this group of people didn't know the county Yin at all, and they didn't know what the county Yin was. Therefore, the county Yin knew that Li Zhong's mother was a member of the Liang family, so he came to promote the prestige of the county Yin in advance.
County Yin has a life, he naturally has to follow, and the county Yin asked him to explore the way, which is a great opportunity to curry favor with County Yin.
On the other side, although the surrounding people didn't understand what Liang Liang said, the king still understood what the king appreciated about Li Zhong.
"Oh my God, King!"
"The king knows about Li Zhong."
"Who is Li Zhong?"
"It's the second child, he is in the army, and his name is Li Zhong."
Β·Β·Β·
In the discussion of a group of people around him, Yin Aiqun of Kuzhu County took a large group of people to the nearest place.
At this time, Liang Liang saw the arrival of the county Yin, and immediately led the people around him to greet him, and let the other people on his side all bow to the ground, and then came to Ai Qun to salute, and then pointed to Li Zhong's mother and son who knelt in the middle of the crowd and said, "County Prince, he is Li Zhong." β
At this time, the surrounding people were surprised when they saw that the patriarch of the Liang clan, a great nobleman, was going to salute the county official.
I didn't expect that the county Yin was even more noble than the patriarch of the Liang clan!
On the other side, Ai Qun nodded after receiving Liang Liang's signal.
Although this Li Zhong was recommended by him, he had never seen this Li Zhong in advance.
At the beginning, dozens of people were reported to him from all over Kuzhu County, and after he repeatedly screened the truth, he selected Li Zhong from dozens of people.
His status, wealth, and behavior all met the requirements of the King of Chu, so he gave Li Zhong the quota of benevolence and filial piety. Sure enough, not long after he reported to the meeting, he got Sima Tangyu's reply, and the quota for benevolence and filial piety was this Li Zhong.
Then, Ai Qun remembered the purpose of his trip, showed a smile, coughed lightly, and said loudly: "There is Li Zhongqi, who is happy to live in poverty, serving his sick mother, and has been consistent for several years, without complaints. β
After speaking, he beckoned his hand and asked people to send the reward they brought to Li Zhong.
βΒ·Β·Β·β
After Ai Qun finished speaking, he took three breaths in a row, and there was no sound around him.
The people around him couldn't figure out what he was talking about.
Seeing this, Liang Liang immediately spoke: "Li Zhong, Li Mu, don't hurry up and thank the king!" When the king heard that Li Zhong had honored his mother, he praised him and decided to reward you with an ox and a brand-new iron plow. β
When Li Zhong heard this, he was surprised and said, "When the king heard that I was filial to my mother, he rewarded me with an ox and a plow?" β
At this time, Ai Qun also reacted, and immediately responded: "Yes, that's it." β
"Honoring your mother will be rewarded by the king?" Li Zhong was still incredulous when he heard the confirmation of this county magistrate, who was more expensive than the patriarch of the Liang clan.
Many people have heard of the fact that the king wants to reward the people of Yuedi before, but because there are only two people in each county, Li Zhong originally thought that the king of Chu would reward the Liang family and other nobles, just like the previous Yueguo, all the rewards went to the nobles, and there was no share of them. He didn't take it to heart either.
But he never imagined that this reward would fall on him.
At this time, Ai Qun saw that Li Zhong and the other people were all in disbelief, and smiled and said: "Li Zhong, your family is poor, and you have worked hard to cultivate for five years, but you can't even marry a wife, and your family is very poor. And your mother is paralyzed and unable to work, but you can serve your mother for five years and take good care of her. This kind of filial piety can be done by very many people, and it is really commendable.
Therefore, when the county prince heard of your filial piety, he reported your deeds to the king, and the king also praised your behavior when he heard about it. In addition, the king does not want to see people who are poor and miserable, so in order to allow you to serve your mother better, he specially ordered the county prince to send you a cow and a plow, hoping that you can continue to serve your mother and fulfill the filial piety of the son of man. β
"Oh my God, the king rewarded the second child with a cow."
"We here, except for the Li family, who has a cow, and now the second child has his own cow."
"No, there's a plow."
"This... In the future, the second child will not have to wait for Li's oxen to plow the land, nor will he have to pull the plough himself. β
"The second child is responsible for less land, maybe our family can borrow cattle in the future..."
At this time, Ai Qun was amazed when he saw the people around him, and at the same time looked at the ox and plough in front of Li Zhong, showing envy, and said loudly again: "Li Zhong, from today onwards, this ox and this plough are yours, don't accept the king's reward soon!" β
"This cow is mine!" When Li Zhong heard this, he looked at the ploughing cattle that were close at hand, and he didn't react for a long time.
It wasn't until Mother Li pulled his hand that the mother and son nodded to Ai Qun again and again.
Ai Qun immediately took three steps forward, helped the two of them up, and said, "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank the king!" This is a gift from the Great King. β
When Li Zhong's mother and son heard this, they didn't know how to thank the king, so they could only say to Ai Qun again and again: "Thank you, the king... King Xie..."
Ai Qun shook his head slightly, and then saw that hundreds of people had gathered around him to watch the excitement, he immediately coughed loudly twice, and then said loudly: "Fathers and brothers, the king has not only rewarded Li Zhong, but also all of you. The king has an edict, and the tax exemption promised half a year ago is still in effect.
In other words, after the Li family's fields were returned to the king's fields, after the autumn harvest this year, all the grain harvested from the fields you were responsible for cultivating will belong to you, and you don't have to carry the grain on your back to hand over the grain. β
When the surrounding people heard this, they were in an uproar.
They didn't believe what the others said, but now that there are nobles of the Liang clan as a guarantor, the county that is still more noble than the patriarch of the Liang clan openly spoke, and immediately believed more than half of it.
Especially after seeing the real ploughing ox and plough in front of Li Zhong, he immediately believed it in his heart.
Seeing this, Ai Qun made persistent efforts and continued: "Not only that, the king saw the waves on the bank of the Qiantang River not long ago, and the people suffered greatly, so in order to let the people recuperate, he also decided to tax exemption for one year next year. β
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly burst into joy, and the feeling in their hearts was indescribable, and they paused, and said in unison: "The king is benevolent..."
At the same time, the same situation was also playing out in other parts of the 26 counties of Jiangdong, and Yin, the 26 counties of Jiangdong, was working hard to promote the benevolence of the king of Chu to the people.
