The people's demands are actually very simple. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wen just grazing the poultry with small flowers for a few days, and all kinds of complaints have disappeared.
In the eyes of the villagers, a lord can work tirelessly to personally participate in poultry breeding, and he has nothing to complain about these mud legs. I also got along with this little lord for a while, and although his temper was not very good, there was no evil thing about bullying men and women. But I just want to eat some eggs, and the big guy tightens his belt and passes.
At this time of year, as long as the fields are cultivated, the villagers are basically idle.
But this year's Guanlou Village is very lively.
The little ladies and daughters-in-law, who had been hidden in the house for several months, all joined the ranks of free-range poultry after discovering that the new little lord had not caused trouble to the women of the good family everywhere.
Wen, who was leading Xiaohua to raise poultry in the field, had a puzzled expression on his face.
"It's strange, there seem to be a lot more little ladies in our village recently?" Smelling a little lady in a floral cloth shirt shouting chickens, ducks and geese, Shi Shiran passed in front of him.
"Sir, this is a good sign, it proves that the villagers are beginning to recognize you." Zheng Zhutou said with a smile.
Wen wondered: "Yunying's unmarried woman can also go out at will?" ”
"The daughter of the peasant family is not so delicate, the so-called door does not go out of the second door, it is the little lady of the rich and noble family, she cannot go out at will without the company of her family, and she can also go out if she is accompanied by family servants." Zheng Zhutou explained.
"Sure enough, it's better to believe in books than to have no books." Smell the senses.
Now the society has developed to the period of prosperity of Cheng Zhu Lixue, the folk women basically continued the customs of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the women of the rich and noble families are accompanied by family servants, they can easily go out to go out for outings, worship Buddha, and meet the elders in a carriage, and the women of the peasant family are the important labor force in the family.
This kind of thing is very rare among the people.
Zheng Zhutou was puzzled: "What book records that women are not allowed to go out at will?" ”
"Do you know about "The Female Rule"? Written by the eldest grandson of the famous eternal one. Wen said.
“....... Sir, you have also studied this woman's affairs? Zheng Zhutou said in surprise.
Wen He said with a smile: "It's not women who study the most for men, but it's not men who can't." Lao Zheng, your orientation is a bit dangerous. ”
“.........”
"Dengzi!"
The little nun Jingyuan's coquettish voice sounded, she rubbed her swollen temples and said helplessly: "Jingyuan, what have you been staring at me all the time these days?" ”
"I'm afraid you'll make a mistake." The little nun Jingyuan said confidently.
"What mistake can I make?" Wen wondered.
"Haven't you seen that there have been more little ladies in the village lately?" The little nun snorted.
Wen Qi said: "Do I look like a pervert?" ”
"What is a pervert?" The little nun Jingyuan wondered.
"........" Wen exhaled and said, "I'm too lazy to be like you." Lao Zheng, go to your new home to see, the three-story building has been built, see what is not suitable and quickly rectify it, your family will be there soon. ”
"Really, sir." Zheng Zhutou rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
It's been almost half a year since I left my family, if I usually don't miss it so much, but with Wen, it's not easy to live, and I have to worry about my life every day, Zheng Zhutou is especially nostalgic for the kind of peaceful life in Yanshen County.
"Well, Mrs. Sister-in-law, old lady, old lady, your baby, there are a lot of them, and they are all here. In the future, I will settle here, and if I lack anything, don't be polite to me. Wen smiled.
"Then there's Lord Law." Zheng Zhutou said with a smile on his face.
In the west of the village, not far from the Jue's Mansion, a new three-story building was built, not the usual wooden structure now, but made of brick and stone. The wall of the courtyard is made of a half-person high flower wall, and all kinds of flowers and plants are planted in front of the flower wall, and the red brick paving, the green tile roof, and the white plaster wall reveal the cleanliness and delicacy of a small farmhouse courtyard.
Zheng Zhutou surrounded the courtyard and the small building, inside and out, and carefully inspected it several times, and the smile on his face was almost out of the folds: "Sir, this is the first time I have seen this kind of house Lao Zheng." ”
"Do you like it?" Wen asked.
"I like it." Zheng Zhutou's big head is like a chicken pecking rice.
"It's good to like it, it's a home, if someone likes it and wants to visit, you can't refuse. Sir, I'm going to make a model of your house, and then build a set for each of them. Wen looked at this small building and said proudly.
Zheng Zhutou smacked his tongue and said, "How much money does this cost?" ”
"Take your time, it will happen."
........
Wen was busy with construction in Guanlou Village, but Zhao Laoer, who was personally driving, was busy destroying it.
"East and West Villages, when will they be captured." Zhao Kuangyin in the big tent asked in a deep voice.
100,000 forbidden troops joined the battlefield in southern Jinnan, and everywhere they passed, they routed Li Yun's army on all fronts, but when the army arrived at the city of Zezhou, it encountered stubborn resistance.
"Back to Your Majesty, now the east and west villages and Zezhou City are each other's Olympic aid, and it is extremely difficult to overcome. Limited by the number of our troops, it is difficult to besiege all three rebels. Gao Huaide said with a speech.
"What does General Shi think?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Shi Shouxin with slightly gloomy eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty, the only way to do this now is to transfer General Guo to lead the army to Zezhou to support." Shi Shouxin replied cautiously.
In ancient times, siege warfare was actually a fight for the number of people, and Sun Tzu's art of war was cloudy: ten were to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple to divide it.
Li Yun led the army to raid Kaifeng's 30,000 troops, and after encountering the superior forces of the imperial army, he immediately changed his strategy, contracted the defensive line, and retreated into Zezhou City and continued to hold on to the east and west villages that guarded Zezhou City.
Zezhou City had previously garrisoned Li Yun's 20,000 horses, and now it has been merged into one place, and the number of soldiers has reached more than 50,000.
Only 100,000 horses and horses arrived in Zezhou by the imperial army, and it was obviously unrealistic to besiege all three places.
"General Guo is leading the army to fight against the Northern Han Dynasty, and the army is difficult to mobilize for a while. We have to think of another countermeasure, and now the Jingshi is an empty city, and there are no troops to adjust. The Huainan Jiedu made Li Chongjin intend to advance northward, and if we can't do it quickly, it is very likely to trigger an even greater rebellion. Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice.
There was a moment of silence in the tent, and everyone standing here understood that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the war. If the nascent Great Song Dynasty could not quickly quell this rebellion, the various forces that were about to move would show their hideous fangs.
Today's Battle of Zezhou has become a whetstone to measure the strength of the Great Song Dynasty.
