I saw that the mansion was full of old people and young children who were over sixty years old, and occasionally a few middle-aged people were also disabled. www.biquge.info Seeing that Ziren actually built the workhouse more magnificent than his own mansion, Li Runan was shocked and praised Ziren's character a little more.

In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Taizu issued an edict that "all widows, widows, and lonely people, disabled and unable to support themselves will be compassionate to the officials." In the fifth year of Hongwu, he once again issued an edict to "edict the county orphanage of Tianxia County", and soon renamed the orphanage as a nursing home. In order to ensure the implementation of this benevolent government, Taizu included it in the "Da Ming Law", and many prefectures and counties successively set up almshouses. During the Chengzu period, the construction of the nursing home was perfected, and almost all prefectures and counties in the world were available.

However, Liaodong Town is located in the border pass and does not have a state capital, coupled with the continuous wars and turmoil over the years, the silver resources of the imperial court are tight, except for several towns and cities such as Guangning, Liaoyang, Kaiyuan, etc., most of the remaining guards have no time to take care of this matter. Ziren was deeply touched by the words of a warlord surnamed Liu in modern Chinese history, "If anyone's county yamen is better than the school, the county magistrate will be executed on the spot." For this reason, this large mansion covering an area of several acres was specially built, and it was divided into two courtyards, half of which was reserved for opening a school, and half was used to house the 'freak households' in the fort.

"Brother Runan, these are the orphans of the soldiers in my fort, and in order to make them live more comfortably, I specially built this big mansion." Seeing Li Runan's surprise, Ziren glanced at his mansion and continued disappreciably: "Changning Fort has been repeatedly invaded by Mengnu, and the soldiers are poor. ”

"Ziren, it's rare that you can understand these things at a young age." Just when Li Runan was stunned, Li Chengcai also saw the scene in the courtyard clearly. Thinking of when he was young, he would follow his brother to fight everywhere and share weal and woe with the soldiers, and most of the rewards from the imperial court were transferred to the meritorious soldiers to boost morale. Now that both of them are in high positions, their lives have gradually become extravagant, attracting their subordinates to follow suit. Seeing that Ziren understood the righteousness so well, he couldn't help but praise it. "Dad, don't fall for this kid, maybe he deliberately pretended to show us." In order to retaliate against Ziren, Li Ruliu has ignored himself in the past few days, and deliberately found fault and said on the side.

"Miss Li, what do you call that?" Seeing that Li Ruliu didn't like what he said, Ziren immediately opened his mouth to fight back, and after glaring at her, he said: "Who knows that your Li family will push the door when they see it, this official is the guard of Changning Fort, and it is the duty to help the orphans and widows in the fort, and it is necessary to use it...... Ah~ Who is this child! ”

As Ziren was talking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his toes, and when he looked down, he saw a girl with two pigtails combing her toes. "You hate it, why are you glaring at my aunt!" The little girl didn't panic when she saw Ziren notice her, and said angrily with two little tiger teeth exposed.

"Nianjiao, don't make trouble" At this time, Li Ruzhi hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her daughter into her arms. Earlier, Han Nianjiao saw that Li Chengcai's family was going out, thinking that they were going to play outside the city, crying and arguing to follow, Li Ruzhi also wanted to see her future brother-in-law, so she took her with her. Don't look at this little girl, she likes to talk to Li Ruliu on weekdays, but when she saw that Ziren had a dispute with her own family, she immediately rushed out to stand up for her aunt.

Although Ziren was kicked on his toes and hurt, he was not so unproductive as to worry about children, so he wanted to give up. "Who are you, why did you beat us Lord Ding?" After hearing Ziren's cry, Li Ku'er brought a group of children in the nursing home to surround him. Ziren takes good care of these children on weekdays, and every time he goes out, he will bring them some sweets and pastries, seeing that his general has suffered a loss, Ku'er pointed at Han Nianjiao and said.

"Ku'er, it's all a misunderstanding, you guys go play." Ziren was very relieved to see that the children in the castle were willing to stand up for themselves, touched Li Ku'er's little head and persuaded him, and then glanced at Li Ruliu with a smile, and said: "I have already seen the ability of the daughter of the Li family, and this little trouble can be endured by the official. "Auntie, is he talking about you?" Han Nianjiao seemed to hear Ziren's words, and pointed her little finger at Li Ruliu, and as soon as the words fell, Li Ruzhi covered her mouth.

"Ziren, didn't you say before that you wanted to fulfill the friendship of the landlord? When is the meal opened? Li Rucai was worried that the misunderstanding would deepen, so he pretended not to hear the meaning of Ziren's words, and touched his stomach and said. Let's wait a while, the food will be good later, but my Changning Fort is poor in products, and I hope that Lord Li will bear with me. Ziren looked at Li Ruliu's face flushed, but he was held back by Li Liu's and Li Runan, and he couldn't have a seizure, so he was happy and replied with a smile.

Then Ziren brought Li Chengcai's family to his house, and at this time, Ding Youcai had already asked people to slaughter some chickens, ducks and fish meat and was roasting. On the staple food, he ordered someone to make some 'spring cakes' (called spring rolls in the south), and then served with shredded green onions, fried shredded pork, fried bean sprouts, shredded radish and other seasonal side dishes and sauces, so that everyone in the Li family can choose and match at will. Li Chengcai's entourage sent a few baskets of pancakes and broth.

Although the dish is ordinary, this spring cake has the meaning of welcoming spring and praying for a good harvest. After the dishes were all set, Li Chengcai's family was really hungry along the way, and they were not polite to Ziren, so they immediately started. Ziren called Zhou Daqi, who was from the Li family, and the two accompanied each other, chatting without a word.

It is also strange to say that the Li family almost never touches the big fish and meat on this table, but is very interested in spring cakes. Especially when Han Nianjiao saw that there was sweet noodle sauce, she was so happy that she was like a little flower. I don't even want a side dish, I just reach out and pick up the spring cake, dip it in the sauce and put it in my mouth and chew it.

"Brother-in-law, in the past few days, no one has invited me and my father to a banquet, and this meal is the most comfortable." The Li family's protégés are all over Liaodong, and after Li Chengcai and his brother came to Liaoyang, they naturally had a constant banquet, so that Li Chengcai's family is now tired of seeing fish and meat, and Ziren's spring cakes with side dishes just relieve their greasy. Li Runan paused at this time, glanced at his father quite jealously, and said: "It's just that this is not a banquet without wine, it would be better to have some wine." ”

"Drink and drink, you will know how to drink all day long, and how many things you have mistaken after drinking will not increase your memory." Li Chengcai saw that his son wanted to drink again, and said with an unhappy face. "Old man, if you are happy today, let your son drink some." Li Liushi felt sorry for his son and hurriedly helped on the side. "Master Li, let Brother Runan say that my alcohol addiction has also come up, so let him drink some with me." Ziren heard from the words that Li Runan was a drunken master who spit out the truth, and wanted to extract some of the true intentions of the Li family from his mouth, and said with a smile.

Li Chengliang saw Ziren speak, and he couldn't wipe off his face, so he had to agree to his son's request. Ziren deliberately drunk Li Runan, and for a while, the cups on the table went back and forth, and he drank about a pound before he could be considered to have some meaning.

Li Runan drank a little too much at this time, pointed at Ziren with red eyes and said: "Ziren wants me to say that you are too uninteresting, my father and mother see you more than I see me, what's wrong with my sister-in-law, is it so difficult for you to marry her!" Speaking of which he was excited, he actually slapped the table and stood up.
