Chapter 74: Poor Child

After arranging all the big and small things, Luo Zheng became an idler.

The craftsmen and the Xu clan in the vegetable garden were also released and found a place to settle down.

There were more than 10,000 people in the city at once, and it immediately became lively.

The soldiers and civilians were busy in full swing, and a group of generals and colonels with fierce Xiliang soldiers were supervising the frozen prisoners to clear the snow and masonry from the streets, and everything was in good order.

Xun Yu was busy with his nerves, and took more than a dozen soldiers to the top of the west to arrange everything.

To make a hundred ruins to be rebuilt, everything has to be rebuilt from scratch, and all trivial matters must be straightened out and arranged.

Luo Zheng, the general, was the shopkeeper, but Xun Yu was busy.

Fortunately, Xun Yu is very good at internal affairs, even if there is no available person under him, he will arrange all things big and small without chaos at all.

The warehouse was cleaned up as soon as possible, and although it collapsed in many places, it could only barely make do with it.

The 8,000-stone military rations were transported into the warehouse, right next to the barracks, and the 300 soldiers were divided into three groups and took turns to guard them.

The remaining more than 3,000 cattle and sheep were driven to an abandoned house in the west of the city to be temporarily encircled, seeing that the forage was about to run out, the cattle, sheep and horses were also hungry and lost a lot of weight, Xun Yu was anxious and had no choice, so Li Meng and Wang Fang took people to a dense forest, picked up the snow and picked the leaves and yellow grass as fodder, and fed the cattle, sheep and horses.

There is a lot of waste to be done, but it is too difficult to start with this.

Xun Yu was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground, and in just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

Luo Zheng's official residence, the inner courtyard wing.

The firewood crackled, and the flames suddenly skewered upward.

Luo Zheng put on the stove made of earth and stone, and his brows were almost twisted into the word 'Chuan'.

On the fire kang in the room, Gan Qian and Ren Yan were sewing clothes and making jackets, whispering a few words in the boudoir.

"Master, will you have a cup of hot water?"

With a timid voice, the little girl brought a bowl of hot boiling water and handed it to Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng turned his head to look at it, then took the bowl and put it aside.

The little girl was five or six years old, very thin, wearing a sheepskin jacket, and her hair was a little yellow.

However, compared to the miserable appearance when I first saw him in Mobei, it was much better.

The little girl is one of the Han fugitive slaves in Luo Zheng's detention in Mobei, leaving only the two mothers to rely on each other, because they are really unable to make a living, Luo Zheng asked the little girl's mother to do miscellaneous labor in the house, and the little girl also did what she could in the backyard.

"Is it cold or not?"

Luo Zheng held the little girl's cold little hand and asked in a slow tone.

"Cold, not cold!"

The little girl was a little timid, and her speech was illogical, backwards and forwards.

Luo Zheng sighed, "Poor child. ”

Reaching out and hugging the little girl, she put it on her lap and roasted it.

What can a five- or six-year-old child do?

In the 21st century, children at this age are enjoying the happiest childhood under the care of their parents.

However, this child has already experienced the most tragic displacement. At such a young age, it is already a great miracle to be able to survive at the hands of Xianbei people, who are even more ferocious than evil wolves.

The little girl trembled, and was terrified.

Luo Zheng held her small hand and said in a harmonious voice: "Don't be afraid, uncle won't beat you." ”

The little girl said in a trembling voice: "Master, slave, slave will be obedient." ”

Luo Zheng smiled and said, "Don't call me uncle in the future, just call me uncle!" ”

The little girl said timidly: "But, but my mother said that the slave is a cheap person, let the slave be called, and call the master." ”

Luo Zheng said: "What your mother said is not right, just call uncle." ”

The little girl nodded fearfully, and was held in Luo Zheng's arms, not daring to move.

Luo Zheng said again: "You don't have a name yet, do you?" In this way, my uncle gave you a name, by the way, what is your last name? ”

The little girl thought for a long time before she said, "What's your surname?" ”

Luo Zheng slapped his forehead, and then remembered that the little girl's father was, even his mother didn't know, and where he had a surname, so he had to say: "Forget it, just follow my surname Luo, called, called Luo Meimei." ”

The little girl didn't know what the name represented, so she shrank and didn't say anything.

At this time, Gan Qian came out of the inner room and said with a smile: "How did the husband name other people's children?" ”

Luo Zheng said: "This child is pitiful, it is not easy to survive in the desert, she is distressed for her husband, her mother is quilted, you also know this, what will happen to a Han woman who is captured by Xianbei people, and I don't know who her father is, so I have my surname." ”

Gan Qian's motherhood was furious in an instant, and her eyes softened a lot when she looked at the little girl.

Luo Zheng said again: "Pay attention to your diet in the future, get more food for this child, make up for it well, see that this yellow ground is like dry grass, and if you don't make up for your body well, it is a question of whether you can grow up." ”

Gan Qianyan said: "Husband, don't worry, give it to the concubine!" ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and handed the little girl to Gan Qian.

Gan Qian took the little girl, but did not go back to the inner room, she sat down next to her, and asked with concern: "Husband has been frowning for the past few days, but if there is anything difficult to decide, can you talk to the concubine?" ”

Luo Zheng said: "The army is short of food, nearly 20,000 people want to eat, this day is cold, where to get grain and grass." However, the woman does not ask about the affairs of the state, so you should not ask about these matters in the future, and just take care of the affairs of the inner court. ”

"The concubine obeys."

Gan Qian sighed, didn't ask any more, and went back to the inner room with the little girl.

Women don't care about state affairs, but it's not machismo.

In this era, the only responsibility of a woman is to teach her husband and children.

It is never a good thing for a country that women are in politics.

The Eastern and Western Han Dynasty is the most typical example, there are a number of emperors who ascended the throne at a young age, their prestige is not enough to serve the public, and their ability is not enough to deal with national affairs, and the power of the court falls into the hands of the queen mother, which often triggers the struggle for power between relatives and bureaucrats.

For the imperial court, such struggles would only be a waste of national strength and would not do anything good.

Luo Zheng didn't let Gan Qian ask about these things, because he didn't want to bury hidden dangers for his children and grandchildren.

Not only should you not ask too much, but you must not even have any signs, otherwise it will only be bad and will not do any good.

Fortunately, Gan Qian only cared about herself, and didn't really want to ask about important military and political affairs.

Luo Zheng sat for a while, and was really irritable, so he got up and came to the official residence.

In the yamen, Xun Yu was discussing with a group of generals how to distribute the fields after the beginning of spring and raise troops in the fields.

Luo Zheng glanced at it and was surprised to find that Wu Yi and several Wu clan members were also there.

This guy was kidnapped by Luo Zheng, first under house arrest in Luoyang for nearly a month, and now he has been kidnapped to the bitter cold land of Liangzhou.

"General!"

"My lord."

Seeing Luo Zheng come in, everyone stood up.

Luo Zheng nodded, walked straight to the top and sat down, pressed his arms, and made everyone sit down, before he looked at Wu Yi and several Wu clan people present, and asked with a smile: "How is the scenery of Liangzhou, are you still satisfied?" ”

Wu Yi and several clansmen were silent, all a little embarrassed.

Luo Zheng said again: "Since you plan to go out, then do it well, the army has always been very generous to meritorious subordinates." ”

Xun Yu hurriedly said: "General, there is no one available in Lingju, and the generals and soldiers in the army are illiterate, Yu is really too busy, but fortunately, Brother Wu Yi has been passing down poems and books for generations, so he helped a lot in the field." ”

Luo Zheng nodded, "If these things are in charge, this general will not ask." ”

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The lord is magnanimous, Yu admires." ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand, and asked Xu Chu, who was standing on the side, "Zhongkang, the Xu family is also a wealthy family in Qian County, although it is not a family heirloom of scriptures and poetry books, but there are many people in your clan who have studied books, why don't you come over and listen to it under Wen Ruo?" ”

"This ......"

Xu Chu was stunned and said, "I forgot about it, and when I turn around, I will find someone to call Mr. Wen Ruo." ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "I am also a general, and I am not a servant and miscellaneous servant in the ground, how dare Yu call it!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Yun, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wu Yi's people also smiled, and swept away the somewhat depressed atmosphere.

Xu Chu let out a 'hey', stared at Zhao Yun and Li Meng and the others.
