Not to mention the situation of the Jin Kingdom, at this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since the snow fell a few days ago, it has been a good day in the capital for a few days, but it is a pity that the haze in the court has not been dispelled.

Shang Kelin, the general of Zhenguo, and Tie Niu, a hussar general nominated and canonized by the cabinet ministers, led their troops to fight at the junction of the Jin State and the Great Zhou Dynasty, although they only took away some of the troops in the capital, but still caused panic in the city.

On the street, a man in green clothes walked among them, holding a book in his hand, looking like a gentleman, looking no different from Mr. Teach.

"My lord, where are you taking me?"

A young but calm voice sounded behind him, and he saw a child who was just up to his thighs by the side of the man in green clothes, this child had a fair complexion, and although his facial features had not yet grown, he had already seen a sense of delicacy.

He was only five years old, but he did not smile, with a hint of majesty between his eyebrows, and a black tunic brocade was worn on him, so that people could not feel the slightest sense of disobedience.

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi shook his head, withdrew his gaze from the deserted streets, tilted his head slightly to look at him, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, you have grown up in the palace since you were a child, you have never been in contact with civilian life, and today the minister wants to take you to see how children of the same age as you survive in civilian families." ”

Seeing that Chen Yusong used the word "survival", the serious look on Jin Qilan's face deepened a little.

"Got it, sir."

Jin Qilan nodded to Chen Yusong, then looked ahead, followed him straight, and did not let Chen Yusong lead him.

Chen Yusong glanced at Jin Qilan deeply, and felt some emotion in his heart.

Although His Majesty has no intention of ruling at present, fortunately, His Majesty's children are also dragons and phoenixes among people, and if they are cultivated well, they will definitely be able to lead the Great Zhou Dynasty to prosperity.

Gradually, Chen Yusong's heart to assist Jin Qilan deepened a little.

Along the way, there were occasional pedestrians passing by on the street, and they also passed by the two in a hurry, and did not stay on the street.

Jin Qilan glanced at them, then retracted his gaze and frowned slightly: "The two countries are at war, and the people are panicking. ”

"I have ordered the local governments to strictly curb this momentum, otherwise many people will choose to go up the mountain to become bandits and robbers just to fill their stomachs."

Chen Yusong was not surprised that Jin Qilan would make such a policy, but agreed: "Your Highness's move is very good, but long-term containment is not a good plan, and this war needs to be fundamentally quelled." ”

"Well, I know that as for the supply of soldiers, we still need to follow the previous method of recruitment, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely set up a place to cultivate soldiers."

Although there are also places in the court that specialize in training the army, they still use the method of the first emperor seven years ago, although Jin Yantang has reformed it, but as far as the current situation is concerned, only a very small number of commoner children enter it, and most of them are aristocratic sons who enter to gild.

On weekdays, these people only eat, drink and have fun, and when it comes to critical times, they are the fastest runners.

After learning about these situations from the Ministry of War, Jin Qilan had this idea in his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice from his head: "It's here." ”

Hearing this, Jin Qilan stopped and looked up.

I saw that after the two turned a street, they came to a secluded alley.

At this moment, the two of them were stopping in front of a door that said "Shantang", the wooden door was simple, and some cracks appeared in it.

Chen Yusong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man came over and opened the door.

The old man's skin was as dry as tree bark, his face was wrinkled, but he smiled kindly: "You are?" ”

Chen Yusong took a step back and bent down to him: "Old man, the late life is the person introduced by Brother Tie Niu to take care of this good hall, your surname is Chen, your name is Yusong, this is my student, named Qilan." ”

The word Jin is the surname of the royal family and nobles, and the entire Jin family was almost slaughtered by the first emperor, leaving only the Jin Yantang family, so the surname Jin is a rare and noble surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In order to avoid any sensation caused by Jin Qilan's surname, Chen Yusong only said his name.

As for the identity, it is not revealed.

When he spoke, Jin Qilan was also like him, and greeted the old man.

Hearing this, the old man hurriedly opened the door and smiled respectfully: "It turns out that the person who the kid Tie Niu found is you, please come in, please come in!" I'm the grandfather of those children in Shantang, just call me Lao Li. ”

"Uncle Li is serious."

While the three of them were talking, they all entered the good hall.

In the courtyard, a group of old-fashioned children were playing around a woman in pink, who was delicate, holding a basket, and was handing out the candy in the basket to everyone one by one.

"Sister Wanqin, will you play for a few more days this time?"

"What is the palace like? Can you take us to see it? ”

"Go, go, don't make trouble for Sister Wanqin, you don't want to eat sugar, give me sugar!"

A skinny boy scolded the noisy children, and the children's attention immediately shifted to him.

On the side, Jin Qilan saw this scene in his eyes, and saw that although the people were dressed in old clothes and lived in very simple places, they had a kind of liveliness that was not found in the palace, and it looked very humane.

You can see that they are having a good time here.

The old man saw Jin Qilan's expression in his eyes, and saw that his eyes showed a slight softness, so he bowed his body slightly, bowed his head and said to Jin Qilan: "Child, can you also play with them?" Otherwise, how lonely it would be to be alone! ”

"I ......"

Jin Qilan looked at him in some surprise, with a slight hesitation in her eyes.

At this time, Chen Yusong gently pushed him and smiled at him: "Don't worry, you have to integrate into the circle of peers in person to know what they are thinking." ”

Hearing this, Jin Qilan's eyes flickered, and after being silent for a moment, he nodded to the old man.

Seeing this, the old man waved his hand to the thin monkey-like young man: "Da Zhuang, come here, take this child to play!" ”

When the young man heard this, he looked over and looked at Jin Qilan with a look of concern in his eyes.

In front of the gate, under the fence wall, Jin Qilan's unsmiling appearance fell into the eyes of the young man, and suddenly, the young man's face showed a look of doubt.

I saw him turn his head, and landed in front of Jin Qilan with a "sigh", touched his chin and probed him: "Which child are you?" Why do I seem to be where are you? ”

Jin Qilan glanced at him lightly, didn't answer him, just bypassed him and walked towards the children.

Seeing this, Da Zhuang was not annoyed, stood in place and watched his back for a while, then suddenly chased after him and said: "I remember, there was a Lord Jin who came to Shantang to talk to Uncle Tie Niu before, and you look very similar to that Lord Jin!" Eh, you're his son, aren't you? What is your name? ”

"Qilan."

Jin Qilan's expression did not change, and he did not stop because of his words, only lightly spit out two words to him.

Chen Yusong didn't pay attention to the two talking, but after hearing Lord Jin in Da Zhuang's mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he suddenly thought of something.
