Lin Haifeng did not enter the Gu Mansion. Seeing Gu Tonglin being taken into the house by his family, he took Su Sanniang out of the east gate. He walked slowly and looked at Su Sanniang beside him, "Zhenjiang is a good place, Sanniang, do you know the origin of this Zhenjiang?" ”

Su Sanniang's face flushed slightly, "Your Highness, Sanniang remembers Liang Hongyu's drum battle against Jinshan, and I don't know anything else." ”

"That's not bad, but Liang Hongyu back then was not as powerful as the eight hundred female troops of our Heavenly Army. She just beat a drum to boost the morale of the army, but the female army of General Su is a sword to the city, which makes countless men ashamed. Lin Haifeng said seriously. Seeing that Su Sanniang lowered her head and stopped talking, he smiled hehehe, "The earliest name here is 'Yi', which is the fief of the Marquis of Shiyi, King Kang of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Spring and Autumn Period, this is the territory of Wu State, according to legend, Dan Zhu, the son of Feng Yao of the Yu family, is here, because it is located in the east of the country near the river and the sea, so it is also called 'Zhu Fang'. Later, the state of Wu was wiped out by the state of Yue, and the state of Chu destroyed the state of Yue, and Chu changed the name of Zhu Fang to 'Guyang'. This is because it faces the river on one side and is surrounded by mountains on three sides, like a valley bottom, and it is located just south of Beigu Mountain. The ancients had the saying that the north of the water is the yang, and the south of the mountain is the yang, so the name is Guyang. Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, once toured to the south, and saw that the terrain was majestic and dangerous, so he sent 3,000 red-clothed prisoners to chisel Jingxian Mountain to break the king's spirit, so he changed Guyang to 'Dantu'. Later, the name was changed many times, and it was not until the third year of the Song Huizong reform that the Zhenjiang Mansion was officially set up. This is because the south of the town is high in the south and low in the north, and the terrain in the north along the river bank - belt is relatively low-lying, and it is often affected by water in ancient times, so an auspicious word is added before the name of the water to show hope and get the name. ”

Su Sanniang looked at King An enviously, a simple place name would have so many stories. "It's a lot of trouble to change it, and once you get used to it, it's very inconvenient." She shook her head.

"Yes," Lin Haifeng led the horse over a ditch and looked back at Su Sanniang who came up, "A place name is like a person's name, sometimes it is not only a code name, but also has some commemorative significance. But superstition alone is too much. Let's just say that Qin Shi Huang, he was afraid that his country would not be protected, not only built Dantu, but also renamed Ruishan as Yuanshan, which meant to trap the qi of Wang Rui here, and nailed a stone pillar on each of the two front paws of the white stone tiger stone under the mountain, so that it would never be able to escape the majesty of the king of beasts. Although he took many measures to consolidate the country, he still failed to keep his country, and just passed to his son Qin II Huhai, he died in the country. And there are many prominent figures in this area, I heard that the descendants of Xiao He, an important adviser to the destruction of Qin, lived at the foot of the mountain, and the descendants of Zhao Guangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, as well as the descendants of the so-called physicist Zhu Xi, also admired the mountains and rivers here and moved here. ”

"Your Highness has a really good memory," Su Sanniang said admiringly, "Your Highness is right, that Song Taizu's imperial tomb is not far from our Yuanshan Fort." ”

It's already seven or eight miles away from the city, Lin Haifeng looked at the few people outside the city who went to the ground to do work, and couldn't help frowning, he waved his horse whip, "Sanniang, Yangzhong and Danyang have been controlled by the Heavenly Army, why haven't the people here been organized?" ”

Su Sanniang sighed, "Sanniang asked all night last night. Since the Heavenly Army had not yet taken Yangzhong and Danyang some time ago, the Qing army continued to harass on a small scale. Prime Minister Xu and the others suspended the stationing of lower-level officials in the east of the city, so"

"Hulai!" Lin Haifeng snorted angrily, "If there are Qing demons, the common people won't farm?" Can you skip eating? ”

"However, things are not so bad," Su Sanniang thought for a while, "The Heavenly Army has been building fortresses in Zhenjiang New Town, Yuanshan, Yandun Mountain, Zhaoyin Mountain and other places, and the people who have no fields nearby will all contribute labor and some income. ”

"Can you feed the people like this for the rest of your life?" Lin Haifeng glanced at her, "The field is the foundation of the peasants, if the peasants don't solve the problem of the fields, who will come to war?" He took his horse and galloped towards the village not far ahead.

At the deserted entrance of the village, Lin Haifeng dismounted. He handed over the reins of the horse to Wang Haiyang, motioned for him and the guards to stay, and took Su Sanniang towards the village.

"This house is not sheltered from the rain in summer, and it is not sheltered from the wind in winter, and the weather is getting cooler day by day, think about it, how can you let people spend the winter?" Lin Haifeng pointed to the two dilapidated thatched houses on the side of the road and shook his head.

Su Sanniang couldn't answer anything. She has been responsible for the defense of Zhenjiang, and her mind is full of how to make Zhenjiang City into an impregnable fortress, and she really hasn't thought much about these folk things before.

Lin Haifeng looked at the silent Su Sanniang with a gloomy face, and turned his head into the small courtyard surrounded by jagged branches. He came to the door and shouted at the open door, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”

"Who is it?" After a while, an old woman in shabby clothes came out of the room.

"Old woman, we are passing by, and we want to ask you for a drink." Lin Haifeng said casually.

"Okay," said the old woman, squinting at a man and a woman in front of her, and pointing to a few stones at the door, "to make the guests laugh, the family is so poor that there is no place to sit, so you two can sit together, and I'll pour water." It just so happened that there was freshly boiled hot water in the pot. ”

"Thank you," Lin Haifeng smiled and arched his hand. Watching the old woman enter the house, he came down from the stone, and his face became melancholy, "This area is not far from the city, and it should have been rich, but because of the war and our own reasons, it has been so dilapidated. ”

Su Sanniang nodded and didn't speak. Her face was still a little feverish, this old woman was really interesting, how could she recognize King An and herself as two people. She secretly glanced at His Royal Highness King An, His Royal Highness's face was a little yellow, his eyes were also dark, and he seemed to be older than herself.

"Come, there is still a little bit of tea left over from the Chinese New Year at home, and the guests drink it to eliminate their fatigue." The old woman returned to the courtyard with an old teapot with a mouthless mouth in her arms and two large bowls with broken edges.

"Thank you, old woman." Lin Haifeng hurriedly took the teapot and bowl, poured a bowl for Su Sanniang first, poured it again, blew it gently, and drank a few sips, "Well, the taste is not bad." He smacked his lips and smiled.

"It really made the guests laugh." The old woman smiled embarrassedly, "Looking at the appearance of the two of you, you must be from a big family, you can drink my wife's tea, and my wife's face is also bright." It's just that the tea is not good, and it's hard for you. ”

"Old woman, you are too polite, travelers, it is also a blessing to have a bowl of raw water when you are thirsty, not to mention your hot tea." Lin Haifeng smiled and took another sip and looked at the empty small courtyard, "Old woman, how many people are there in the family?" ”

"Just two," the old woman said, with her finger outstretched, "and a son, who has gone into the city to help, and will not return until night." ”

"Oh!" Lin Haifeng smiled and asked again, "My son shouldn't be young, why didn't he have a family?" ”

The old woman stroked her messy hair and sighed, "Yes, they are all in their thirties, and the family is so poor, how can a girl dare to come to the door?" Alas, it's the old woman who dragged him down, this army is in chaos, if it weren't for my useless old thing, I would have already joined the holy soldiers in the city, so I don't have to accompany me to suffer. ”

"Yes," Lin Haifeng asked seriously, "Is it necessarily good to vote for the Holy Soldier?" ”

"Yes," said the old woman, with a smile on her face, "of course it is. My son helped the holy soldiers repair the city wall some time ago, and they built some fortresses, and they treated my son well. Every day I come back, I get money from the Holy Soldiers. It's not like in the past when you went on a business trip to the government, no matter how hard you work, it was all for nothing. Listen to my son, if you vote for the holy soldiers, everyone will be equal, have clothes to wear, food to eat, and nothing to worry about. You say, "If that's the case, how nice it would be." ”

Lin Haifeng glanced at Su Sanniang, looked at the old woman and shook her head, "I don't think it may be." They've been here for so long, but not all of them are poor in this village. ”

The old woman shook her head, a little unhappy, "Don't you dare to say that, the holy soldier has a lot of things." Besides, in our village, only these dozens of families are left who have deserted, and the rich man has already fled, and the land is deserted. There's no way, who knows when the war will start again? ”

Lin Haifeng shook his head distressedly, "No matter what, this land should still be planted, if we don't farm, where can we still support our families." Seeing that it is about to be the day of wheat planting, why don't you plant it quickly, what can you do next year? ”

The old woman nodded again and again, "Who said no, alas, it would be good when the holy soldiers could also live in our village!" ”

Lin Haifeng drained the tea in the bowl and wiped his mouth, "Old woman, have you ever seen a holy soldier?" ”

"Nope." The old woman looked back in the direction of Zhenjiang City, and her words were mixed with regret, "The old woman's legs and feet are not good, and she doesn't have that blessing!" ”

Lin Haifeng suddenly had a trace of sadness in his heart. He slowly stood up, looked at the open road in the village, and looked back at the old woman, "Tomorrow tell your son and all the people who go out to help, don't go to the city first, we will come to your house early in the morning to discuss some things with the people of the village, are you welcome?" ”

The old woman smiled, "Of course you are welcome, but" she thought that they must be people who could not be offended, and she looked embarrassed again.

Lin Haifeng smiled, "It's okay, what are you doing, old woman, we can eat whatever we want." ”
