Chapter 540: The Finale

The world is unified, although there are people who have lost their interests and are not angry in their hearts, but for more people, this is a good thing.

Emperor Liang redivided Daozhou, appointed officials, and added Enke to recruit talents from all over the world.

Not only was the Shu region, which had just gone through the war, exempted from taxes, but other Daozhou prefectures were also exempted from some taxes.

The people who were displaced by the war either settled in the local area or began to turn around and return to their hometowns.

Among them, the soldiers and people who died because of this, and the living people were not able to grieve much for them, so they had to start running for a new life.

When they can finally breathe a sigh of relief and remember to be sad, a long time has passed, the burden of life is on their bodies, sadness has turned into exhaustion, and it is difficult to cry out again, but a kind of sadness and regret has been haunting their hearts.

But looking at the children running around the house and in the alley, no matter how tired they were, they couldn't help but lift their spirits and smile slightly.

It's as if the whole person is filled with vitality.

The world is unified, and there will be no more calls in the future, right?

Their children should no longer suffer from the chaos and should be able to live a peaceful life, right?

With this glimmer of hope, they worked harder to live, and by the time they could hold their grandchildren, war would only exist in the mouths of storytellers for the children of the family.

They only knew that there were occasional clashes on the far north or west border, but it was too far away for them to be a legend, at least they hadn't seen a war since they could remember.

So when they heard that Da Liang was bullied by the barbarians, they rolled up their sleeves angrily and scolded, "What are we Tang Tang Da Liang afraid of, fight back?" ”

"The soldiers on the border are all vegetarians, they don't have any blood, and they are all bullied to the head but they don't do it!"

"Why are the adults in the court so cowardly? If I had given the order to fight back, and if I hadn't fought back if I had been bullied, they would have been easy to bully in the future......"

When their father or grandfather heard these words, they were beaten out with a stick before they entered the house, and said angrily: "You want the soldiers at the border to die when you touch your mouths, do you think the battle is so easy to fight?" When there are not enough soldiers to be conscripted, do you go to be a soldier, or do you and I go? ”

The young man in his twenties stiffened his neck and said, "What if I go?" I won't be as greedy for life and afraid of death as they are! ”

"You," the father glared at his son, tears rolling down, "you bastard, the world has only been stable for twenty years!" Back then, your uncle and sister-in-law didn't have them on the way to escape, do you think it's so good to fight? ”

The old man sitting under the porch sighed slightly, wiped his red and swollen eyes, and said: "It's still too little to suffer, so it's okay to say whatever you want, Ming'er, you take their brothers to the field and open up the wasteland at the foot of the mountain." ”

The young man's eyes were dark, there was a lot of wasteland, at least seven or eight acres, "grandfather ......"

The old man waved his hand and said: "Your brothers have also grown up, and you will always have to divide the family in the future, and there is only so much land at home, where is there enough, since you are too idle to go to the teahouse to fight mouths, then go to open up the wasteland." ”

The father felt that his father was right, wiped his tears and said hatefully: "Ming'er will go, from morning to night, and I will go to report to the yamen." ”

Twenty years ago, after the Great Liang unified the world, he returned to the displaced people, in addition to dividing their Yongye land and Kou land, he also made a provision that the ownerless wasteland peasants and displaced people could be reclaimed, and after opening up, they would report to the yamen, hand over half of it, and the remaining half would belong to themselves, and the first three years would be exempt from tax.

However, wasteland is generally raw land, not only mixed with weeds and trees, but also a lot of stones, and some people may not be able to open two acres a year.

Then you have to hand over one acre, and the remaining acre may not be able to raise much better for three years, so except for those who are particularly motivated and have many brothers, most people will not think about opening up wasteland.

It's so tiring.

Their family has always felt sorry for their children, and the young man only opened two acres of land when his family was relatively poor in his teens, but it was also his grandfather and parents who contributed a lot, and most of them helped.

But now they want to come on their own.

Not only him, but even his younger brother couldn't help but glare at him, blaming him the most, which made his grandfather and father angry.

The young man also blamed himself for not keeping his mouth open, but today he had a good time chatting with his friends in the teahouse, and he didn't keep his mouth shut when he got home.

Like young people's homes, many young people today are beaten or punished by their parents and grandparents when they go home.

These young people no longer remember the war, but they old people always remember the chaos and panic of those years.

Rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person, this is not just talking.

Of course, the current monarchs and ministers of the Liang State did not know that twenty years later, there would be a thirsty young man who was fighting to die, and at this time they were immersed in the ecstasy that the world had finally been pacified.

Emperor Liang also wanted to have fun with his subjects, so he made a great meritorious minister, and then finally waited for Chinese New Year's Eve, and he took his brothers and sons to the imperial tomb to worship on the first day of the new year and told his father the good news.

Lin Yubin monk Mingjie is also standing in front of Lin Qingwan's grave, they are celebrating the New Year in Yangzhou this year, in order to worship their aunt and uncle on the first day of the new year.

Tell them the news that the world is unified.

Lin Yubin knelt on the ground, let the children kneel beside her, she slowly burned the millet stalks, and said softly: "Auntie, the world is stable, your wish has been fulfilled." "It's a pity you didn't see it......

Lin Yubin lowered his eyes, and his eyes were a little red.

Shang Mingjie is taking a hoe to clean up the weeds next to the grave, although there are people from the Xie family guarding here, and they also come to sweep the grave every year, but now there is still a lot of grass next to the grave.

Fortunately, it didn't last long, so he cleaned it up.

When Shang Mingjie wiped his sweat and stepped forward, Lin Yubin also whispered to his aunt, and the family began to worship.

Shang Mingjie said: "Let's rest early after we return to the city, and we will leave for home tomorrow." ”

"Good!" Although she has to come to Yangzhou once a year, Lin Yubin is still not very familiar with Yangzhou, and she still prefers Suzhou.

It was the Chinese New Year that she was also homesick.

The two snuggled together, and Shang Mingjie brought up the old matter again, "After returning to the clan to worship, let's go to Hangzhou to live for a while, you asked people to buy a courtyard on the edge of the West Lake, which should have been arranged at this time." ”

Lin Yubin has always wanted to go to Hangzhou, but after so many years, he has not been able to make the trip, Shang Mingjie has always remembered it in his heart.

Lin Wenze walked behind with his younger brothers and sisters, looked at the parents in front of him talking and pulled together, and when he heard their words, he sighed faintly, turned around and said to his younger brothers and sisters: "I'll take you for the New Year this year." ”

The youngest sister asked in surprise, "Big brother, are my father and mother really not celebrating the New Year with us this time?" ”

Lin Wenze thought that every time his father and mother wanted to go out, he would encounter an emergency, and couldn't help but hesitate: "It should be." ”

The little girl put her hands together and made a wish, hoping that the gods and Buddhas would bless her father and mother to go out smoothly this year.

Lin Wenze looked at his six-year-old sister and silently didn't speak.
