Xia Yang stood outside the manor and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and the man in the blue robe stepped out, and as he strode out, the corners of his clothes flew up, his hair was pulled up, and his eyebrows were full of heroism.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he was slashed by Xia Yang's sword swing and hit his head.

This person's expression was awe-inspiring, and he immediately dodged sideways, Xia Yang's long sword approached straight up, this person turned over and grabbed Xia Yang's wrist casually, I don't know what technique was used, but Xia Yang's long sword almost shot.

Immediately, one arm was behind his back, and one palm was like the wind, approaching Xia Yang, Xia Yang danced a sword with one hand and waved a palm with the other, and this person was a tie.

Jiang Ziyan turned around to look and saw that this person had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking Xia Yang.

In the blink of an eye, the two fought dozens of moves, evenly matched, regardless of victory or defeat.

Xia Yang jumped out of the circle, hugged his fists and said: "I didn't expect Brother Bai's kung fu to be better than before, Xia Yang admires it." ”

"Haha, Brother Xia is polite."

The person who came turned to look at Nangong Hao, bowed down and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and I have seen the Princess of Chu." Everybody inside please. ”

Nangong Hao nodded and entered the manor with Jiang Ziyan.

Inside are rows of houses, built like military camps, the same houses, the same structure, no courtyards, and the open space in front of and behind the houses is full of vegetables.

There were people working in the vegetable field along the way, and when they saw the surnamed Bai nodding their heads, and when they saw Nangong Hao and Xia Yang, they stopped their guys.

Nangong Hao waved at them and motioned for them to continue.

Jiang Ziyan saw that they were all missing arms and legs, and they were all crippled. Even this surnamed Bai is also missing a hand.

Isn't this the welfare home of the Northern Jin Dynasty? Specifically for the adoption of people with disabilities?

There are many beggars and lonely old people in the capital, why don't they all come here?

The front surnamed Bai led the way, greeted the people in the vegetable field, and turned back from time to time to introduce vegetable varieties to Nangong Hao.

When he arrived in front of a larger building, the man surnamed Bai flashed to the side and said, "Lord and princess, please." ”

Nangong Hao raised his feet and carried Jiang Ziyan in.

Inside was an empty hall, with a large table at the very back, surrounded by wooden benches, like a conference room.

Nangong Hao sat on the main seat, Jiang Ziyan sat next to him, and Xia Yang and the surnamed Bai sat at the bottom.

Nangong Hao said: "Yan'er, this is the king's former deputy general, Bai Yixiong, who lost a hand in Xiliang and managed Zhuangzi here. ”

Bai Yixiong stood up, bowed down, and saw Jiang Ziyan again: "My subordinates have seen the princess." ”

Jiang Ziyan has always respected the heroes, not to mention that he lost a hand for the sake of the country.

Jiang Ziyan also stood up and said, "Master Bai Zhuang doesn't have to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

"Yes."

It can be seen that Bai Yixiong also respects Jiang Ziyan.

Just as he was about to speak, the door opened, and a boy of five or six years old ran in, followed by a girl in her teens.

The little boy ran to Bai Yixiong's side, threw himself into Bai Yixiong's arms and coquettishly, and the girl behind chased after him, pulled the boy, and said, "Go out with my aunt, Daddy has something to do." ”

The little boy looked up at his little face and said, "Is Daddy serious?" ”

Bai Yixiong's face was tender, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he said, "Be good, play with my aunt, and take you to your mother when my father is done." ”

"Daddy is not allowed to deceive people."

The little girl pulled the little boy hard and said, "Let's go quickly, the third brother has gone to catch rabbits, let's take a look." ”

He dragged the little boy away.

"Feng'er is five years old, right? It's time for enlightenment, have you invited an enlightenment teacher? ”

Nangong Hao actually knew the child's name.

"Thank you, master, I haven't taken care of it yet, there are a few people here who are about the same age as Feng'er, and my subordinates want to ask the master to set up a school and send all the children here to the school, I don't know if it's okay."

"Quasi, Xia Yang will do this thing, go to the capital to invite the best master, give the highest treatment, ten years later, the children here, regardless of gender, will be sent to the Hanlin Academy to study, so that they can become the pillars of the country, and their fathers and brothers will not be crippled or even sacrifice their lives for the country and the people."

Jiang Ziyan praised his Haozi's righteousness.

It seems that this is really the welfare home of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and Nangong Hao is here to donate his own silver?

Bai Yixiong knelt on the ground and said, "My subordinates thank the princess and princess for these children." ”

Knock knock! Three rings, the floor trembled slightly.

"Get up, if you have any difficulties in the future, you must report them in time, and don't neglect these children."

"Yes." Bai Yixiong stood up and sat down.

"Is the situation in the northwest implemented?" Nangong Hao asked.

Xia Yang got up and stood at the door, Jiang Ziyan listened with his eyes down, knowing that this was a secret, and he couldn't ask questions casually.

"Back to the prince, there have been frequent recruitment of troops recently, and now there are about 100,000 people, all gathered in the Jiulong Gorge, and there are guards at both ends of the gorge, if it is not for the perennial medicine farmers who go down to the bottom of the valley, it is difficult to find."

Nangong Hao didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, Nangong Hao said: "Continue to investigate, pay attention to safety, and don't venture close until you have to." ”

Subsequently, Nangong Hao told Bai Yixiong a few more words, discussed some details, and then stood up: "There is Vice General Lao Bai, and this king will leave." ”

Xia Yang came over and handed Bai Yixiong a stack of silver tickets.

"Don't be harsh brothers, spend what you should spend, remember that you are doing things for the country, and it is natural to spend the money of the court."

Before leaving, Nangong Hao didn't forget to tell him.

Bai Yixiong said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "The prince has been helping us all these years, and it is difficult for his subordinates to repay the prince even if they are broken." The subordinates are willing to smear the liver and brain of the prince. ”

can make an eight-foot man have tears in the corners of his eyes, and Haozi's charm is really endless.

Nangong Hao carried Jiang Ziyan and walked towards the outside of the village along the road he came.

Jiang Ziyan saw that the people in the vegetable field were really old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were also some underage children.

When he arrived at the door, Bai Yixiong smashed his fist on Xia Yang's chest and said, "You stay by the master's side, don't be lazy, you are the only one left in our brothers, and everyone points to you to protect the master." ”

Xia Yang didn't guard against Bai Yixiong's hand, and he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Brother Bai, don't worry, with my Xia Yang, I will block the knife and gun for the master." ”

Bai Yixiong faced Jiang Ziyan again: "I heard that the princess is also a heroine, and she has been on the battlefield with her master, and her subordinates admire her." ”

Jiang Ziyan didn't understand Bai Yixiong, so he flattered him face-to-face, but seeing the relationship between Nangong Hao Xia Yang and this person, he should not be a young man.

"Vice Admiral Bai is overrated."

Bai Yixiong wanted to say something, but seeing that Jiang Ziyan was not a good talker, he shut up, and turned to Nangong Hao and said: "The prince also has to take care of himself, we homeless burdens and the hope of the entire Northern Jin Dynasty are on the shoulders of the prince, and the prince must take care of himself." ”

If such words are heard by some well-intentioned people in the court, Nangong Hao will have to be impeached, and in this far away place of Emperor Gao, it is just a heartfelt feeling from the heart of a disabled man.

"Well, this king will, you also have to take care."

After Nangong Hao finished speaking, he walked to the carriage without looking back.

Xia Yang untied the horse's reins, jumped into the carriage, the horse ran fast, and after a while, the figure of Deputy General Bai looked at the carriage here, and it became a small black dot, which looked abrupt in the sun.

Everyone was silent for a long time, Jiang Ziyan leaned on Nangong Hao's shoulder, and felt that something heavy in his heart was growing.

In the past, in Jiangfu, I only thought about how to get back my own things and get my own things back.

Later, when I was with Nangong Hao, I devoted myself to Nangong Hao and the people around me.

Seeing these disabled people who are disabled in order to protect their families and defend the country, even so, they are still working hard for the country and the nation, without asking for anything in return, and they are grateful for the slightest benefit.

The suffering and grievances he has suffered are simply not worth mentioning in front of these people.

All people and things are as light as a feather in the face of the interests of the state and the nation.

Nangong Hao took Jiang Ziyan's hand and said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" You shouldn't be allowed to see that. ”

"It's okay, I'm not so pretentious."

Jiang Ziyan sat up straight and said, "Is this a welfare home in the Northern Jin Dynasty?" Do these people live here, and are they raised by the Northern Jin Dynasty? ”

"This is the king's fief, and these people are being raised by the king."

These people were wounded on the battlefield and would receive a pension, but after layers of exploitation, in their hands, they didn't even have the cost of settling in, let alone supporting their families.

Nangong Hao went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, as long as it was his own subordinates, and if he died, in addition to the pension issued by the imperial court, Nangong Hao would also paste another copy and send someone directly to the martyr's home, so that their wives and children could live.

Later, there was a fief, Nangong Hao directly took the wives and children of those disabled soldiers and soldiers who died on the battlefield to the fiefdom, and on the basis of their self-sufficiency, he would send a sum of silver every year to help these people.

Today's fiefdom is managed by Bai Yixiong, of course, some lightly injured soldiers can still do what they can.

For example, listening to intelligence and spying on military intelligence.

So it was.

No wonder Vice General Bai is loyal to Nangong Hao.

This topic is too heavy, Jiang Ziyan feels that he is not suitable to talk about national affairs, and it is easier to care about the people around him.

Lift the curtains and see the endless grassland, the breeze blows, and sheep appear in the distance.

The shepherd was on horseback, and there were two or three shepherd dogs running beside him.

"Haozi, the scenery here is so beautiful, when we are free, we will come to the fiefdom. So beautiful. ”

Jiang Ziyan couldn't stop admiring, causing Nangong Hao to also lean over: "This is also suitable for grazing, the war horses in the Northern Jin Dynasty army are all from here, and seventy percent of the beef and mutton in the capital of the Northern Jin Dynasty come from here." ”

"Oh, so to speak, my family Haozi is still a rich man, that is, the second generation of officials, or the second generation of rich, worthy of the name, rich and handsome." Jiang Ziyan turned his head to look at Nangong Hao, the tips of the noses of the two were facing each other, Nangong Hao smiled, and the warm breath sprayed on Jiang Ziyan's face.

"You ......, what are you staring at me? Do I have flowers on my face? ”

Obviously, he stared at others first, and he could still beat him upside down.

"Haha, if you don't look at this king, how do you know that this king is looking at you?" Nangong Hao put his arm on Jiang Ziyan's shoulder and took Jiang Ziyan into his arms.

Jiang Ziyan took Nangong Hao's hand and gently rubbed the thin cocoon in his palm.

"Don't be naughty." A pair of small hands were clenched tightly.
