Lin Mo looked at everyone: "I have a silver ticket here, and there are four thousand taels of silver in it, which was given to you by the horsemen before, these are what I promised to you at the beginning, please accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy." As he spoke, he handed the silver ticket to Zhao Pu.

Seeing this, Zhao Pu waved his hand and said: "We can't accept this silver, we have already received the silver outside the horseman, how can we accept you again, besides, we are acting on orders, not because of your personal reasons, I don't think you should think about this matter anymore." Although Lin Mo was moved in his heart after hearing this, he was also determined to give the silver to Zhao Pu and them.

Zhao Pu and the others resolutely don't want Lin Mo's silver, in their opinion, they are acting on orders and fulfilling their duties, Lin Mo doesn't have to mind so much, and they have already received Ma Zhiyuan's silver, so they shouldn't accept Lin Mo's silver. Lin Mo looked at these officials and finally reluctantly took the silver ticket back. Lin Mo asked, "Are those brothers buried?" ”

Tao An on the side said: "Naturally, the burial is good, and our brothers each gave some silver to help them do the funeral in a beautiful manner, so that they can finish the last journey in a beautiful way." Lin Mo sighed with emotion in his heart after hearing this, and then said to Zhao Pu: "Zhang Zhutou, you can lead me to their grave to pay respects." ”

Zhao Pu shook his head and said: "Everyone is buried, so you don't have to go, besides, those places are unlucky, what are you doing there as a scholar, what if you get dirty things?" Lin Mo shook his head and said: "I should go to this reason, I grew up at the foot of Bishan Mountain when I was a child, and I went to a lot of mass graves, and I even carried dead bodies, so why care about these unclean things." When Zhao Pu heard this, he knew that he couldn't beat Lin Mo, so he had to take Lin Mo to the cemetery.

Lin Mo and the others came to a wasteland, which was full of graves like the mountain, but compared to the simple graves on the mountain, at least most of the tombs were surrounded by bricks. Zhao Pu led Lin Mo to a cemetery, where there were three newly raised tombs, all three of which were made of bricks and tiles, and at a glance, he knew that he had spent a lot of silver.

Lin Mo looked at the three new graves and his heart was full of self-blame, although he knew that this casualty was inevitable, but this incident started because of him, even if others did not blame him, Lin Mo's heart was still full of guilt. Lin Mo respectfully folded his hands in front of the grave, bent down, and bowed to the tombstone in front of the grave three times, and Zhao Pu and others on the side hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Lin Mo, you are a talented person and a literati now, you can't do this, otherwise it will be spread out and people will laugh." Lin Mo ignored it, and went to the next grave to bow three times, followed by the third grave.

After Lin Mo finished bowing, Zhao Pu on the side said: "Lin Mo, why are you doing this." In Zhao Pu's view, Lin Mo is famous as a showman, although his group is an official of the government, they are actually lowly, Lin Mo will damage his identity by doing this, and it will definitely have a bad impact on him if it is passed on. Lin Mo didn't pay attention to it so much, he felt that he owed these people, and he had to pay it back, this was his code of conduct.

At this time, a woman came over with a six or seven-year-old child carrying a basket, and when she saw Zhao Pu and the others, she hurriedly said, "Brother Zhao, why are you here today?" Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "Here Lin Gongzi came to worship a few brothers, and we will accompany him here."

Worship, sister-in-law of the Zhang family, why are you here too? ”

As soon as the woman heard that it was Lin Gongzi, she immediately became restrained, and Lin Mo naturally saw that this woman should be the wife of one of the dead officials. Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Under Lin Mo, it's polite." When the woman saw Lin Mo saluting to herself, she panicked, and hurriedly bowed her knees with her legs bent and bowed to a blessing salute. The children on the side hid timidly behind their mothers, looking at Lin Mo with doubts in their eyes.

Lin Mo said: "This time I was careless, let Brother Zhang give his life, Lin Mo has a loss in his heart, if he can use Lin Mo's place, but please command, Lin Mo is duty-bound." When the woman heard this, she hurriedly shook her head and said: "Lin Gongzi is serious, this time our family is on a mission, this loss of life is fate, I can't complain about others." ”

As soon as the child on the side heard that his mother had mentioned his father, he immediately whispered, "Mother, I miss my father." When the woman heard this, her eyes were full of tears, but she resisted the crying and rebuked, "Children, don't talk nonsense. Lin Mo squatted down and took the child's hand, and said, "Your father has gone to a far, far place, and it will take a long time to come back." ”

When the boy heard this, he was immediately displeased, and pointed to his father's grave and said, "My father is lying there and sleeping, and if he has gone far, I will go and wake him up now." As he said that, he was about to go to the grave, and Lin Mo took his hand and said, "Your father has really gone to a far place, you can't call him." When the boy heard this, he said timidly, "Is my father dead?" When Lin Mo and the others heard this, they were shocked, and Zhao Pu and the others also had tears in their eyes.

The woman on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and hugged the child and cried bitterly. Lin Mo looked at the poor mother and son, and was ashamed in his heart, because of his own behavior, the three of them died, the family lost its pillars, the mother lost her son, the wife lost her husband, and the child lost her father. The woman cried for a while, and then she reacted, and there were Lin Mo, Zhao Pu and others around. Lin Mo looked at the child and asked with concern, "How old are you, is it time to go to school?" ”

The woman hurriedly said: "Xiao Zhuang is just six years old, how can we people be qualified to study, his father originally planned to wait for him to be sent to a private school as a scholar, so that he can read and write, lest he can't even write his own name like his father." Lin Mo felt a pain in his heart when he heard this.

This era divides people into Shinong industry and commerce, three, six, nine, etc., as soon as he was born, he is destined to fate, some people can change their fate through reading, but more people do not even have the qualifications to study, for example, this Zhao Pu a group of officials, although they are on an errand for the government, but their status is extremely low, and they do not even belong to the "Shinong industry and commerce" but the same "lowly status" as the advocacy, only those who can't survive are willing to do the government.

Zhao Pu because they belong to the military household, the status of soldiers in this era is similar to that of advocacy, so these people became government officials in desperation, this became a government service, although they can have some status in front of ordinary people, but they are not worth mentioning in front of a little ability or the most ordinary scholars, this is the class, no matter how hard it takes to cross the gap.

It is precisely because of this identity that Zhao Pu's descendants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination (three generations) and are not allowed to donate

This made them stop thinking about studying and serve others with peace of mind.

Lin Mo looked at the cute child and had an idea brewing in his heart, he touched the child's head and said: "Even if you don't take the scientific examination in the future, reading and literacy is also a must, your father is gone, but I will be responsible for you, I will decide this matter." ”

Lin Mo took Xiao Zhuang to the tomb, and said seriously: "Brother, although we are only a few faces, but you have a life-saving kindness to me, I can't help but repay this kindness, now that you are gone, I will take care of your family for you, as long as I Lin Mo still have a bite to eat, I will not let your family endure freezing and starvation, heaven and earth are proof, I Lin Mo will never break his word." Then he solemnly arched his hand.

Zhao Pu and the others on the side were moved by Lin Mo's words, their eyes were a little red, they were five big and three rough men, even in the face of death, they would not say anything, but Lin Mo's words warmed their hearts, although Lin Mo was the head of the case and the young man from Yunzhou, but he really cared for these rough people and did not look down on them, which made them very moved. Zhao Pu looked at Lin Mo and said, "Lin Mo doesn't have to mind so much, with our group of brothers here, they won't let their parents, wives and children endure the cold and starve." ”

Lin Mo said: "This is what I should do. Then Lin Mo turned around and hugged Xiao Zhuang and then led Zhao Pu back to his house, the Zhang family looked at Lin Mo and said secretly in his heart: "Master, you have met the right person." ”

Lin Mo gathered Zhao Pu and the others together and said: "This time I came back, I made a special trip to express my gratitude, you did not hesitate to sacrifice your life for Lin Mo, Lin Mo has nothing to repay, this time I have some plans in my heart, I want to discuss with you." Zhao Pu smiled when he heard this: "Lin Mo, don't be polite, if you have something to say, if you can help, we will not be ambiguous." ”

A group of people laughed coaxingly, most of these people are thirty or forty years old, some are veterans who have retired from this battlefield, some are shabby military households, they are all the biggest people at the bottom of this society, although they have the skin of a layer of servants, but they can't change the prejudice and discrimination of others against them, this Lin Mo, as the head of the dignified Yunzhou case, has no prejudice and discrimination against them, and getting along with them on an equal footing makes them feel moved from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Mo smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I plan to buy land in Qiannan and open a workshop." Zhao Pu on the side was a little puzzled, he didn't understand what Lin Mo meant, now that Lin Mo is rich, he should naturally buy land and land, this is normal for people. Lin Mo said: "I plan to build an industrial park here. ”

"Industrial parks?" Zhao Pu was a little puzzled.

Lin Mo smiled: "Actually, there are a lot of workshops here, and you must help more when the time comes." ”

Zhao Pu said with a smile: "If you really want to open a workshop, I will definitely help you recruit a lot of helpers here, and I am most familiar with the ten miles and eight villages in this vicinity." Lin Mo smiled: "This industrial park is one thing, what I have to do is to take you to get rich together." ”
