Stayed overnight in Huiluocang. Li Xiang set off and continued to move towards Tiger Pass. Out of town. Yang Zongze asked Li Xiang to speak alone. Got to a place where no one was. Yang Zongze took out a letter and handed it to Li Xiangdao: "My lord." This is a letter written by the last general to Zhang Gongjin (Note 1), the general of the Tiger Prison. He and the last general were friends with each other. Adults are useful enough for him to be outspoken. ”

Li Xiang took the letter and looked at Yang Zongze and said with a smile: "Then I have to thank you." There's something I really need to use him for this time. What is the origin of this man? Is it reliable. ”

Yang Zongze heard Li Xiang ask. knows that what Li Xiang wants to do must not be able to see the light. So he said, "Don't worry, sir." This person must be reliable. As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his arms and handed it to Li Xiangdao: "If he hesitates." And the lord gave it to him. He knew that I was already an adult. I'm sure I'll do my best to help the adults. Be the first to update"

Li Xiang took the dagger and looked at it again. Very ordinary. I guess it's a bit old. Didn't ask Yang Zongze. Laughing: "Okay." This time it really saved me a lot of effort. So be it. Remember what I say. It's good to be safe here. There will be a place for you in the future. ”

Yang Zongze saluted and agreed. Li Xiang turned around and waved his hand. The brigade behind him followed Li Xiang towards the next station.

Meng Jin is right in front of him. Take a look at the looming city walls. Li Xiang was full of emotion in his heart. A lot of things happened here last time. The father was kidnapped. Li Shimin is missing. I don't know what the situation is until now. Now come here again. Think of my father who hasn't seen him in months. It's really embarrassing.

It's almost evening. The brigade arrived at the gate of the city. Li Yi had already taken his men out of the city to greet him. The first update surprised Li Xiang. And many people came out. I saw him coming. Hurala fell to his knees. They all called Chincha-sama.

Li Xiang saw that Li Yi was also kneeling there. Dismount quickly. Lift my father up. I saw that there were some tears on Li Yi's face. I can't bear it. said, "Father." I'm coming. It's just a matter of being happy. Hehe. Let's go. Let's go into town. ”

Li Yi said, "Xiang'er, wait a minute." The people here have something to say to you. ”

Li Xiang was stunned. Turning his head to look at the people. An old man was supported by several people. Walked over slowly. Kneel down for Lee. Li Xiang hurriedly held him up and said, "Don't kneel, uncle." Say whatever you want. ”

The old man trembled and said, "Lord Qincha." On behalf of the 5,000 households in Mengjin, I thank you for coming. More and faster chapters are here. As he spoke, he took a white cloth from the hand of the person behind him. Ask someone to help unfold it. I saw a long roll of cloth. Densely pressed handprints. There are places where names are written.

Li Xiang looked at it and asked, "Uncle." What is it. Why thank me. ”

The old man said: "Last time, it wasn't Qin who came over to kill the corrupt officials. Give us bread. We're all dead. Don't say you're gone after. He also asked Li County to teach us to farm and do business. Now some of the little babies have started to read. It's all the work of adults. ”

After speaking, he turned to the people and said, "We have nothing else for you." We can only put all of our handprints on it. Give him to your lords. It's a blessing from all of us to adults. We all have immortal tablets for adults in our homes. Bless you with many blessings and long lives. More and faster chapters are here. We can save more people like us. ”

After saying this time, the old man insisted on kneeling down and kowtowing to Li Xiang. Li Xiang couldn't help it. I could only accept a salute and quickly pulled the old man up.

Then look at the roll of white cloth. Li Xiang's heart seemed to be grabbed by something. This is how the people are kind and simple. They don't understand what politics is, what economics is. There is only one kind of good official in their hearts. An official who can keep them fed, clothed, and warm, and live a good life. They are all good officials.

Li Xiang just thought simply. Nothing can make them starve to death. I came to Mengjin in a hurry. Unexpectedly, I also gained so many people's hearts. Look at the handprints on the cloth. Big and small. Each one is a hundred faith hearts. Li Xiang couldn't control his feelings. His eyes were red and he said, "Uncle." Thank you so much. This is the most valuable gift I have ever received. More and faster chapters are here. I love it. As long as you're doing well. It's better than giving me any gift. ”

The people behind the old man all knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Chincha." ”。 Li Xiang also bowed solemnly to them.

Wei Zheng stood behind him and said to Zhang Fangluo: "Du Wei is amazing." Popular hearts are available. Zhang Fangluo also nodded and said, "I remember what the adults said." The benevolent are invincible. I didn't understand it at the time. I don't know until now. It turned out that it was not the adults who were invincible. It's these people. ”

Wei Zheng suddenly looked at Zhang Fangluo. There is a feeling of some unrecognizance. This bold man seems to have changed. Could it really be the reason for following Li Xiang. How everyone who followed him. They all seem to have become wiser and smarter. It's really magical.

Passing through the city gates. Li Xiang and his entourage finally entered Mengjin. Although it was already evening. Li Xiang was still surprised to see a Meng Jin who was different from last time.

The streets are clean and tidy. The shops and houses on both sides are scattered. There is no trace of the aftermath of the war. Many people were standing on both sides of the road waiting for them to come. knelt down and kowtowed one after another. Words of thanks are spoken in his mouth.

Li Xiang suddenly felt that this place was like a home that had never had any disaster. Look at everyone with a sincere smile on their faces. I couldn't calm down for a long time.

The lights are on. The whole city is quiet and peaceful. Many homes have their doors open. You can clearly smell the aroma of the food. Hear the happy laughter of children. Li Xiang showed a heartfelt smile. That's what he wants to see.

Wei Zheng didn't come last time. Zhang Fangluo experienced that tense time. Looking at Meng Jin like this. Zhang Fangluo said to Wei Zheng: "I would never have thought of it. It's only been a few months. That's what it looks like here. If the whole world calls us all lieutenants to manage it. Isn't that the great prosperity here again? ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Yes." I don't think that day is far off. ”

Walk through this section of street. Finally arrived at the county office. At the door, a bunch of half-sized children in new clothes were waiting for Li Xiang there. I saw him arrive. Another prostration. Li Xiang called them up. I saw the beggar bean that I saw when I came to the city.

At this time, she changed into women's clothes. Delicate standing in the wind. Like a bean sprout. A shy smile on his face. Li Xiang realized that she was a girl.

Li Xiang reached out and touched her head and said, "Dou'er has grown taller again." Is it okay here. ”

Dou'er smiled brightly and whispered, "It turns out that the big brother still remembers my name." More and faster chapters are here. Beans are very good here. I was able to eat enough every day. And school. ”

Li Xiang was called by her big brother, and her heart was sweet. smiled and said, "Dou'er is all going to school." What did you learn? ”

"I learned the Analects. None of them were as fast as I was. Dou'er raised her little head proudly. Pointing to the beggars behind him. Said vigorously.

Li Xiang smiled happily: "En." I knew that Beans were the smartest. Learn more in the future. Wait until you've learned. Big brother, please go to my academy to be the first female gentleman. Isn't that good? ”

"Really." Bean'er's eyes are brighter. All of a sudden, I was excited. Clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay." I'm going to be the first lady in the future. More and faster chapters are here. Who wants to be disobedient. Just beat him on the board. ”

Dou'er's words made everyone laugh. Li Xiang took her hand. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's go." Let's all go inside. He led everyone into the county office.

The dilapidated county government has long since disappeared. See the newly renovated room. Li Xiang asked Li Yi: "Father." Is there enough manpower here? ”

Li Yi smiled: "It's not enough." There's still a bunch of people waiting outside to come in. ”

"Yes. What's going on. Isn't there not so many officials who are on duty? How many more people are there. Li Xiang asked puzzled.

"That was once upon a time. Now there are many children in the people's families. I didn't come to Yali on an errand. It's about finding a way to get into business. It's all very positive. You those ways. but it gave the people a good life. Update as soon as possible," Li Yi stroked his beard and said with a smug smile.

Li Xiang thinks about it. The people saw hope. Of course I want to live a better life. Errands are also a good choice. Take the rations. Eating Yulu. It's an ancient civil servant.

The two talked. All entered the lobby. The beggars were doing their own work. Scattered. Dou'er came out from behind with a teapot. Pour water on the people. stood behind Li Yi.

Li Xiang asked Li Yi with a smile: "Father." These children are now in school. Why are you still in the county office? ”

"The school is in the county office. Not only did they go to school. At leisure. I also assign tasks to them. There will be a reward for doing it. Stretching out his hand, he pulled Dou'er into his arms and said, "Like Dou'er, you get the most rewards." He lowered his head and asked Dou'er: "Tell the big brother quickly." How many rewards do you have now. ”

Douer is a little shy. "I have ...... now," he whispered, thinking about it. He pinched his hand and counted a few words: "There are more than three coins of silver." There are sixty-three coins left. ”

Li Xiang looked at her cute appearance. couldn't help but touch her head again and said, "Dou'er is amazing." Keep up the good work. Only then did he say to Li Yi: "Children can't be with their parents." Beans are so intimate. Simply her father will take her as a righteous daughter. can also accompany my father and mother to chatter. ”

Li Yi laughed and said, "We don't want you when you're not there." Your mother has long regarded Dou'er as her daughter. I won't see you for a while. I just can't think about it. I don't think you're as important as beans now. After saying that, he laughed again.

Li Xiang also smiled and said: "As long as my father and mother are happy." I was happy. I don't have a sister anymore. ”

Li Yi suddenly blushed a little and said, "Actually, it will be a few months." I guess you're going to have a sister or a younger brother. ”

Li Xiang was stunned. Then there was a reaction. Say loudly, "Dad." Mother has. ”

Li Yi nodded. Still a little proud.

Later, Wei Zheng and Zhang Fangluo also congratulated Li Yi at the same time. A room full of people laughed.

Li Xiang heard that his mother was pregnant again. I couldn't sit still. got up and said that he was going to see his mother. A puff of smoke ran to the back.

Li Yi and Wei Zheng talked for a while. Tell your men to take the people to rest. I also went to the back to see Mrs. Wang.
