“…… Although I don't know what kind of results will be achieved in this exam, but judging from the evaluation of the past two years, the master is very satisfied with my studies, if this time the study trip table is good, maybe we can fulfill the original agreement between the two brothers, but the eldest brother has to wait for the younger brother a little, so that the younger brother also has a chance to catch up with the eldest brother's back. Sincerely, respects.

In addition, I heard that there was a bloody battle in Lian County, and the world changed color, and my brother's heart was very longing, and I looked forward to the eldest brother preparing a good story. ”

I read the contents of the letter in my hand again, and the person who read the letter had a reassuring smile on his face.

"Husband, what makes you so happy, can you share it with your concubine?"

"Ah, my brother has written to me." Raising the letter in his hand, the smile on the man's face became a little more proud.

"Is that the little ghost that the husband talks about all day long?" The woman's voice is not coquettish, but quite a bit of the straightforward and pungent of the Northland, just listening to the voice, you know that she is a very assertive woman.

"Now it's not the little ghost of the past, I haven't seen it for a few years, I should have grown into a big boy."

"Then it's time to think about marriage. Although it stands to reason that a man cannot marry without a crown, but now that the years are so chaotic, no one can guarantee what will happen in the next moment. It's like you, a stupid goose, obviously the enemy army is strong, and you have to take people to guard the front line of the city, and you almost lost your life, but you haven't left any descendants now, and I don't fight myself, but if something happens to you. How can I explain to your ancestors and ancestors? ”

There was a little resentment in the woman's voice, and it was obvious that women in this era had a natural sense of responsibility when it came to giving birth to offspring. Or in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the main person responsible for this kind of thing is the woman, not the man.

It is precisely because of this that the reason of "no queen" can be a reason for husbands to divorce their wives, and it is an important reason.

However, considering the things that ordinary men have to carry in this era - the burden of the family, the conscription that may be drafted at any time, I don't know when I will be pulled up. Unless it is like some folk customs in Guangdong, let the wife go out to work and the husband eats at home, it is understandable that such a situation occurs.

Of course. We must despise those bad men who are uncles at home, and their wives are pregnant with children and let her go to the ground.

However, if it is like the kind of existence that is almost matrilineal, it is not discussed because it is a different social structure.

"Let's wait for marriage or something, he's not me. Not the eldest grandson of the family. I'm destined to carry a lot less than I do, and if I can, I'd like to let him make his own choices, even if it's a gift from my brother. ”

"Well, the big things are up to you. But it's so late, you should go to bed. ”

"Then I will go to sleep after approving these official documents. You also know the situation in the whole county now, if you don't deal with these things quickly, it is very likely that tomorrow's spring sowing will be delayed. That's a year or two. Be sure to wait for me, though. Didn't you just say that if you want to renew the incense to our family as soon as possible, how can I not obey Madame's call. ”

"You dead ghost~ I'll go and bring you some white porridge, so that you can bully me mentally for a while."

It's probably going to be a wonderful night, although as a man, the next day will inevitably have back pain, leg cramps, and something.

It's a pity that there is neither Wellcome nor Huiren Kidney Treasure in this era, so it can only rely on young firepower to survive......

Ahem, don't continue to talk about this kind of thing, I always feel that there will probably be a lot of innocent people lying on the gun or something.

Although it was a beautiful night, when I woke up the next day, I still had to face a mountain of official documents, and I still had to send a public official to solve the problem that was not written on the official documents.

This is Lian County, a place that was devastated after a great war.

And compared to those villages and dock forts outside the county, the situation in the county town is enough to be called heaven.

At least this place has not been breached by enemy troops, this place has not been swept by enemy troops, and this place still has the ability to shelter the people in the city.

Walking hastily down the street, the magistrate of Lian County had a very calm face, although he was surrounded by ruins, all because of the war—in order to have more shields to protect the soldiers and militia on the city wall, all the door panels were torn down and made into rudimentary plates, and all the stones that could be used were transported to the city wall and handed over to the militia to attack the enemies who ascended the city, and even the archers who shot the few arrows left in their hands would join in the very risky work of throwing stones.

It can be said that if it weren't for this spirit of sacrifice that went forward and followed, Liancheng, a city that was once abandoned and now stands on the land of the Han Dynasty again, would still be under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and might once again become the pasture of the Hu people in the grassland.

After that arduous battle, the county magistrate, who was always on the front line of the battlefield and fought together with the soldiers and civilians in the city, was unanimously affirmed by the whole county, and even if it were not for the fact that he still needed to stay in Lian County to preside over the post-war recovery work, he was also one of the most dazzling group of people in the Winter Festival.

Of course, another important reason why the county magistrate Lian couldn't return to Jinyang was because of his father's efforts to stop him.

"You are the county magistrate appointed by the state pastor, and now Lian County needs you, and the state pastor needs you in Lian County, you must not leave at this critical time. If you give up the battlefield that belongs to you, don't call me dad in the future, I don't have you as a son. ”

Well, that's all there is to it in the letter, and it's put at the end, all of which are about missing his son and for his family's "stinky boy" who has been able to make contributions to the state pastor and make his father have more face in front of his colleagues.

However, the county magistrate knew very well that if he disobeyed his father's request. Even if Li Shushi, the state pastor, may not say anything, his father, who is a staunch supporter of Li Shushi, will definitely do what he says.

So even when he was resting, the county magistrate was still working on the front line. Trying to practice his father's teachings.

Of course, when the winter festival comes, he will be somewhat jealous that his younger brother can be filial in front of his father, but because his current work has his own will in addition to his father's "teachings", it is not too difficult.

After talking for a long time, who is this county magistrate. Why are father and son so loyal to Li Shushi?

"Yo~ Isn't this the county magistrate Li Yun, do you want to go to the slave house and sit here, I have prepared a hot mare's milk wine here~"

It wasn't a wandering girl who greeted this young county magistrate. Rather, it is the grassland Hu people who live in Lian County.

Many of these steppe Hu people were Qiang people who had moved inward during the time of Emperor Huan, and a small number were Hu tribes who later entered this place with the weakening of Han rule, and then when Huang Zhong's troops appeared in the north and even the whole of Liangzhou, they did not choose to leave. Instead, settle here. Perhaps because he felt that although Li Shushi and the officials he appointed were tough on many matters, there were no discriminatory provisions in legislation, and as long as they obeyed the orders issued by the state army, their lives and property could be guaranteed the same as those of the Han Chinese.

After some fierce run-ins in the early days, these alien races have basically agreed with the rule of the state army.

Even many tribes thought that they were already serious Han Chinese, and they shed their blood for the rule of the Han people - it is not wrong to say that, because these Hu people played a significant role in the defense of Lian County.

At least they did not rebel under the temptation of the Xianbei people, and they did their best to defend the city. It can be said that their appearance is even more satisfying than that of those Han people, and they are really good citizens of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that the only thing that gives Lian County Magistrate Li Yun a bit of a headache. It is because of the extremely harsh living environment of these Hu people, in order to be able to obtain more offspring and continue the entire tribe, the folk customs of these Hu men and women are quite open.

In contrast, Hu men may have been easier to manage, and they could not violate Han Chinese law to force Han women to marry them, and the results of this were often quite severe, and Li Shushi and the powerful coal kilns never lacked enough slaves to mine, and such punishments were even more famous and frightening than confiscation or death.

But for those Hu women who are open, it is a very headache - this is not to say that those Hu women will cheat after marriage, in this regard, even the grassland people have become very taboo with the consolidation of patriarchal society, but if there is no constraint of marriage, they are very open, just like now, for men who look pleasing to the eye will never be stingy with their smiles and words, if the two sides meet each other, even if there is no marriage rolling sheets will not be taboo, Anyway, even if there is a cause for death, the tribe behind the woman will bear it, and even these tribes welcome children of Han blood, because it is said that those children with mixed Han blood will be more intelligent than pure-blooded Hu people—the reproductive advantage of mixed blood is so willful.

Although the relationship circle of Hu Feng women before marriage will be more chaotic, at least after marriage, they can basically guarantee their loyalty to their husbands, in fact, if they can't guarantee this, the Hu tribe that has begun to integrate into Han society will not interfere too much with the women who have already married.

Because of this, it is not surprising that Li Yun, the county magistrate who can already be called the "star figure" of Lian County, will be favored by those bold and unusually open Hu women.

"It turned out to be Lan Luo, I heard that your tribe has lost a lot this time, and the rewards from the county should be issued, can you make up for some? It's a pity that the treasury of Lian County has been squandered by me during the war, otherwise I can compensate you a little more......"

Li Yun did not directly refuse the other party, but talked with the other party on the side of the road, and the things they talked about were all related to the life and development of the tribe, so that the Hu Nu had to respond with her heart, otherwise if the supreme magistrate of Lian County misunderstood something and lost the good things that might be in her hands, it is estimated that the tribal patriarch would definitely hang her upside down to calm down.

Here is the short-sighted, but very realistic wisdom of the steppe people. However, it is precisely because of this that the county magistrate Lian has used this method to get rid of the woman in front of him who is likely to cause trouble—at least tonight's public grain will be a normal portion rather than an excess.

Getting rid of the enthusiastic Hu Ren girl, Li Yun inspected various areas of Liancheng again. It has solved many problems that cannot be said to be tricky, but can add up to a lot of troublesome problems, making the reconstruction of the entire Loulian County smoother.

Of course, the most important thing is the repair and reinforcement of the city wall of Lian County, as well as the resettlement of the residents of the houses during the war.

Simply because this battle was too fierce, it made it easier to solve the latter problem, and by the way, it provided a lot of raw materials for the former. It's just that because it's still winter, the progress of the project is still not satisfactory.

"County Magistrate Li, take a break. Xiao Lao'er didn't have anything good to entertain County Magistrate Li, only a cup of hot water to express his heart. ”

"Uncle, you are too polite, you cut off twenty-three enemy heads in the previous battle, which is amazing! If you really think kid, I'm doing pretty well. The kid hopes that you can take up a position in the county government after the beginning of spring next year. Mentor us young people, if we can learn the three things about you, this battle will be much easier. ”

"Hehe, it's rare that Xiao Lao'er's old bones can still be seen by someone, there is no problem, Xiao Lao'er will look at you Master Li. As long as he sees Lord Li, it will remind Xiao Lao'er of the days when he served under General Li Yan Li. ”

"Oh~ Uncle, the general Li Yan you said is the ...... from the Li family."

"That's right, that's right, it's the grandfather of the current state pastor. Speaking of the county magistrate, your surname is also Li. Could it be that there is some kinship? ”

"That's right, Master Li Junshi is the Great Ancestor of Xiacong."

"I see. I see. is worthy of being a person from the Li family, he has courage and courage~! ”

Yes, Li Yun is also from the younger generation of the Lishi Li family, and more precisely, he and Li Bai also belong to the third generation.

This is a matter of course, after all, the younger brother who wrote to him is called Li Bai, and his father is called Li Ke.

Yes, it is the uncle who is hidden in Li Shushi's personal guard unit, of course, his thick hair is definitely not bald.

Speaking of the lawn mowing game that is popular in modern society on another plane, most of the male characters are washing, cutting and blowing, and our Dian Wei children's shoes are a shiny big bald head, but those shapes are definitely rebellion in rebellion in this world, even if it is burned at the stake, it is not too much rebellion, and even a punishment in this era is to cut hair.

It is conceivable that if a modern person physically travels to this era, unless he describes himself as an overseas person, it is very likely that he will be "killed by demons" by the old farmers in the township with a hoe. Even if the old peasants did not dare to be enemies with those traversers who were equivalent to the "Jiangyang Thieves" in their eyes because of their timidity, they would take the initiative to hide far away.

Although it is said that the sentenced people are not necessarily bad people, for the countrymen, staying away from these people can definitely be equated with "staying away from trouble", at least they don't have to worry about being misunderstood and imprisoned for talking, giving food, clothes, etc.

Well, as a beneficiary of Li Shushi's naturalization and departure from the Shi Li family, you should know the reason why Li Yun worked so hard for Li Shushi.

"However, now I admire the state pastor even more. When I was leaving the stone, it was clear that Lord Zhou Mu was not much older than Zaixia, but he was already able to fight the murderous enemy on a beautiful horse, but I could only stand in the crowd and watch the figure of Lord Zhou Mu departing from a distance. From that time on, I vowed to be like the state pastor, and even if I didn't reach the height of the state pastor, I would be able to catch up with the state pastor. So it's not enough to do it now! ”

"It's really a good wish, Xiao Lao'er supports the idea of adults, and I believe that adults will be able to do it."

"Haha, then borrow your auspicious words from uncle. But I'm going to continue patrolling now, and I'll come back to discuss with you, uncle, about the formation of our Lian County Border Patrol Team in the future. Uncle, if you have any powerful old times, you must also recommend it to me. ”

"Master Li, go get busy, Xiao Lao'er really needs to think about it, but so many years have passed. Many old friends have dispersed, and it is not known if they are still alive or if they can be contacted. But the little old man will definitely do his best. ”

He inspected the situation in Liancheng again, but Li Yun found that he couldn't seem to enter the previous state.

There seems to be something more in my heart.

I guess it's a feeling of memory.

Because of the veteran who had followed the battle from his great-grandfather Li Yan, it evoked some memories of his youth.

Until now, I still vaguely remember that he was just a hairy boy at the beginning, a hairy boy who listened to his father and clan elders tell the story of the ancestors who fought hard and created the family story of the Lishi Li family since he was a child.

Among those stories that may be exciting, desirable, or sad, Li Yun and his younger brother Li Bai's favorite story is the legendary story of his great-grandfather Li Yan, including his strange anecdote about his journey around the world from his great-grandfather and his senior brother Tong Yuan. There is the passionate passion of the two brothers who fought on the battlefield to defend the country, and of course, there are some children who can't understand it, but when they grow up, they will smile and the lingering sympathy between the brothers and the Yan sisters.

Therefore, not only Li Yan, the great-ancestor, is so tall and heroic in the hearts of Li Yun and Li Bai. Even Tong Yuan, the senior brother of the great-grandfather, was portrayed as a hero in the story, and he was really a generation of heroes.

Well, even if the ranger or something is really not a compliment in the Han Dynasty. But a successful hero is still quite recognizable among the people. Especially those Jianghu people who are trustworthy and trustworthy, they can still get a good reputation in the township.

And Li Yun and Li Bai's parents heard almost the same story, and even because they experienced the process of the prosperity and decline of the Li family from Shishi, their admiration for the glory of their ancestors became even stronger.

It is conceivable that under this kind of influence, when Tong Yuan strongly intervened in the Lishi Li family, he faced the old men who could not make the family decay on the one hand, and the heroes who grew up listening to their deeds since childhood. These young people from the Shi Li family will not have any choice phobia at all.

As Li Yun himself said, for Li Yan's legendary deeds. He just listened with his ears. But Li Shushi's story happened in front of him - from an ordinary little person, after countless people to reach a high position of 2,000 stones, but was thrown into a decaying place, inside is the disgruntled clan elders who control a lot of power and resources in the clan, and the local Haoqiang who lacks trust in him, surrounded by a group of enemies who are eyeing him.

Then Li Shushi succeeded.

This success was not entirely smooth sailing, because Li Yun still remembers the battle to defend Lishicheng, and the tragic Cheng dù was no less than the just-concluded battle of Liancheng, and it can even be said that in addition to the fact that Li Shushi had more troops and stronger generals at that time, the battle of Lishicheng was more difficult than Liancheng, which only had to face a partial division.

In terms of scale, the Battle of Liancheng was more like the Battle of Zhongyang City that Cao Ren commanded at the beginning.

I'm afraid few people will know that in the battle that took place in Lishi City, Li Yun and Li Bai brothers also came to the front line in person, but it was obviously just a big adventure of two bear children, and it was only during the interval of the war that it was possible to sneak into key protected areas such as the city.

But even so, Li Yun will not forget the scene that shocked him:

A young man covered in blood but exuding a sense of immaturity was pulling out an arrow stuck in his body for an ordinary soldier, and although the young man looked tired, he still tried to control his body, careful not to let his hands tremble from the intense exhaustion. After that, I would talk to the wounded people, or make fun of each other, or encourage each other, or use some of my own experience to encourage each other.

Behind him, on the left and right, are the indifferent men who protect him and provide him with all kinds of battlefield knowledge answers, and the beautiful maidens who help him heal the wounded soldiers.

The three people, the iron triangle, seem to constitute an impregnable iron gate, and it seems to have become the sharpest blade.

"Maybe from that moment on, I was determined to follow that figure."

Turning around to look at the county seat of Lianxian County, which was like a big construction site, Li Yun couldn't help but open his arms slightly.

"And now, at least this time, I should be doing pretty well."

The former bear child has grown into a young Erlang today.

What was once a little kid who could only hide in the corner and watch his family fight has grown into a leader who can bring security and confidence to those around him, and he feels that his limits are much more than that.

"I remember that I liked a certain sentence of Uncle Clan at the beginning, but why did I forget it a little when the words came to my mouth......"

My goal is the sea of stars! (To be continued......)
