14. Children have clothes

The Anxi camp stipulates that when soldiers are forbidden to be flailed, their families are not allowed to visit.

Therefore, Shi Fu was very worried that his wife and children would not be taken care of during the ten days of being in the yoke, especially when he was given monthly rations before, since Xingying did not give it to him, he did not know whether it was sent to his home.

Shi Fu's cottage is on the side of Gongchi Lake in the north of the city, surrounded by a few crooked neck trees and a front yard.

After getting close to his house, the rickety Shi Fu saw the smoke coming from the stove of the hut, and his heart couldn't help but feel steady, and the bruise on his buttocks didn't seem to be so painful, so he quickened his pace and pushed the courtyard open.

I saw one of his sons and daughters standing in the courtyard, kicking each other's half-worn juju, and when they saw him, their eyes were dripping, and they seemed to be full, and they no longer cried, and they were more energetic, and said, "Father, you are back." ”

Shi Fu could see that his son and daughter were each wearing a newly picked up crotch, and usually in the cold early winter, the children's hips (thighs) were always frozen black and purple because there was no cloth to cover their bodies, and they couldn't stop crying, so they could only stuff some thatch into it to keep warm.

At this time, his wife also came out of the kitchen and scolded you for being a lazy man, you don't contribute to the tuntian, and you deserve to be shackled for ten days.

Shi Fu saw that his wife also had a red skirt on her body, so he hurriedly walked to the kitchen, looked around to see if there were any men hiding behind the firewood pile, or the traces of turning over the window, and found that there was none, and then opened the pottery urn in the corner, only to see that there was still half of the new corn left inside, and then asked his wife, where did all these cloth and grain come from?

"It was Gao Kongmu who asked the military officials to send it, and the grain was your ration for this month, and he sent ten extra horses of silk cloth and five hundred coins, saying that he would make clothes for me and the children, and a dog skin said that he would make winter socks for you."

The next day, on the side of the Tuntiangou ridge in Baiquan Fort, he was limping, and Shi Fuyi, who was weeding in the rake, saw Gao Yue who was riding a horse to inspect, knelt on the ground with a bang, and then climbed to Gao Yue's horse with a string of smoke, and kowtowed again and again, saying "Confucius is a great grace, Shi Fu will never dare to forget!" ”

"Shi Fu, let me ask you, do you dare not plough the fields in the future?"

"Don't dare!"

"It's your turn to be idle?"

"Don't dare!"

"If you dare to break the ban again......"

"Kong Mu will shackle me for a hundred days, and we who are soldiers will either not say it, or we will definitely do it when we say it!" Shi Fu didn't dare to raise his head.

Gao Yue nodded and said very good, "You don't have to thank me for the cloth and money given to your Run's family, it is advanced from your reward, from now on, you do it well, and you will receive the reward for meritorious service in the future, and there is still a surplus - remember, this hole is waiting for you to get the reward." ”

"Whoa." Shi Fu kowtowed like garlic and hurriedly agreed.

At this time, Gao Yue rode on horseback and looked along the entire Baiquan area, where there were keel waterwheels erected at the springs and stone wells, and the camp athletes stepped on them, continuously pumping water from the ground and watering the wheat fields on all sides; The fields, separated by long gray-white ridges, divide the whole field in an orderly manner, and the soldiers who are in charge of cultivating are driving the oxen back and forth slowly.

At the end is the sky of Longshan, against the backdrop of the vast earth, it seems extraordinarily low, the lead-gray clouds are gathering, it seems to usher in a light snow in the early winter, which is a very good thing for the overwintering wheat seedlings, the snow can wet the wheat roots, keep their heat, as the so-called "three degrees of snow in winter, farmers rejoice in the year".

More importantly, through the bloody battles of the Jingyuan camp and the reinforcements of Changwu City, Xifan's plan to destroy Jingyuan's tuntian and trample on wheat seedlings also went bankrupt, and then when the winter snow covered the peaks of Longshan, Liupan Mountain, and Huangshan, even Xifan's army would be struggling: snow, river valleys, and Chongshan protected the three places of Jingzhou, Pizhou, and Fengxiang, and also protected the tuntian that Gao Yue advocated for reclamation.

"Next year, I will be able to stand here and see the weather of Baiquan and 800 acres of military tun Fengni!"

The cold wind blew in his face, he frowned, looking at the Alanta Temple on the edge of the Kagawa River, in the previous military disaster, most of its Jialan had been burned, but the presiding monk Mingxuan was unmoved, and still insisted on chanting under the collapsed half of the Buddhist hall, "Wait, when the next year the temple can also be abundant, then I will start to repair this temple, one year, two years, three years, even if I exhaust my life, I must complete this grand wish." ”

In the evening, the light snow really fell in the courtyard of the Confucian Temple, and the eaves had begun to slowly condense into ice hanging, getting longer and longer, Zhi Hui and Ah Cuo were wearing new jackets and skirts, giggling and clapping their hands, looking at the six snows that kept falling in the sky, Wei Daotian was stacking the hay in front of the stable, and then there bare-chested.

After Gao Yue sat on the seat, Yun Shao greeted him with a mysterious and somewhat smug smile, "Songqing, take a look." ”

Oh? Gao Yue looked fixedly, and there was actually a golden crispy paste ring on the food plate, so he picked it up and took a bite, it tasted good, so he nodded again and again, looking at Yun Shao with a smile.

Yun Shao blinked with a "come and praise me" expression.

"The plaster ring made by Ah Ni himself is already worth the Qingwu store in Chang'an."

"That's it! In the future, Song Qing will only have peace of mind, and Ah Ni will make all kinds of delicious food in the back kitchen to take care of Song Qing. Yun Shao seemed to tilt the tip of his small nose, "It's just that Chang'an's ointment ring is four pennies a piece, I heard that Wu Di only has a penny a penny, and when you get to Jingzhou, you have to make it for fifteen yuan." ”

"Life in the northwest border town is hard, and there are still many athletes in the Jingyuan camp whose families are not well fed and clothed, so I advised Duan Envoy Jun to open the tuntian, when the athletes are well fed and warm, the children have clothes, elite equipment, war horses on the battlefield, and there are no worries about the family, then the situation in the border area can be reversed."

Who would have thought that Gao Yue's simple words actually made Yun Shao cry, "Song Qing is really different from those ordinary Jinshi, in this season, I am afraid that they only think about eating ointment with red lips in Chang'an City, thinking about when they can cling to the ivory wat board and the purple belt of Zhu Yi, how can they think of the Tushantou athletes who lack food and clothing?" ”

Gao Yue shook his head and laughed, he just wanted to gain fame, and mentioned the issue of the northwest frontier defense in his consultation with Liu Yan, but he would not leave it behind after speaking, "I have to do something to make things better little by little, I also hope that one day the Tang army will be able to trek to the Western Regions again, Jingzhou, Yuanzhou and other places where Eastern and Western merchants gather again, and the surrounding countries will come to make a pilgrimage to the Weishui again." ”

Speaking of this, Yun Shao said "yes" again, then turned around and took out some letters from the cupboard, saying that those from the capital were all sent to Song Qing.

"There is a letter from Xingyang Zheng Wenming." Yun Shao had seen the payment beforehand, and before Gao Yue could answer, she took a knife to cut it open, and then pulled out the letter paper.

"Ani, read it......"
