241 Cessation of War
Fantasy fans, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the small landlord of the attack!
"I'm afraid you're going to attract the prying eyes of those old fellows," the old man squinted at the cistern at the top of the mountain, "I can't cover it anyway, so I might as well take the opportunity to make a fortune from them." ”
Ye Jingqing blinked: "How to earn?" ”
"I'll leave this matter to me," Pei Yanzhi took her hand and said with a smile: "First implement it in Shi'an City, and then offer it to King Yujun as a favor." ”
The eldest lord naturally knew that he had met the king of the county, and sooner or later the waterwheel would benefit the people, and it was best to hand it over to the king of the county, after all, it was good to come and go, and the two sides could go on for a long time.
"You can do it yourself, let's say okay first, I will only stay in this Shi'an City, and I won't interfere in the affairs outside." The eldest lord squinted at Pei Yanzhi.
The unfilial son is so old, and he doesn't know how to share the work for his father, and he still doesn't know the importance in front of him? "What's wrong with the hand? What a system to pull and pull outside! ”
"......" Ye Jingqing silently withdrew his claws, the eldest lord was afraid that he couldn't stand others showing affection, and he often held the eldest lady's hand in front of the juniors.
The harvest of Jiuli Mountain shocked the entire Shi'an City, as the nursery rhyme says, the mountains can be cultivated paddy fields, and there is not a big winter melon in the stone!
Although when they saw the waterwheel, they vaguely felt that this was going to happen, but in any case, they did not directly present the amazing results in front of them.
Compared with the discussion of the people who eat melons, the group of refugees on Jiuli Mountain is even more touched, they participated in the whole process, wielding hoes and sweating with their own hands.
If you still have the intention of messing around, you will see that life is full of hope, and you will inevitably have a steady stream of motivation and hope. Among them, Chiang stammered the most actively.
Because he was born with a big tongue, he was rejected everywhere to find work, and those proprietors disliked him for not being able to speak well, and how good could he be in doing things. Even in this group of refugees, they have also been ridiculed, and the surname Jiang can't speak, and there are endless words such as ruining this surname in vain.
When war had not yet broken out in the southwest, he guarded a few acres of land and worked hard to support his family. Unfortunately, the war raged later, and he had to move with the villagers.
Those days were really hard, there were two children and an old mother in the family, and there was no money left over all year round. Now I am on the road in a panic, what to eat and drink on the way? What's more, I don't know where to move, I have no destination and no hope, and my heart is empty.
The child's mother couldn't stand the suffering, so she ran back to her parents' house, but she ruthlessly left the two children alone. Jiang stammered and secretly wiped her tears twice, and he didn't complain about her in his heart, because he was incompetent.
He gritted his teeth, and took his two children and his old mother to Shi'an City together, and he didn't plan to go so far, but unfortunately at that time, the war was lost again and again, and the people of the two cities were disheartened, and everyone hated to go as far as possible.
By this time they were no different from beggars, ragged and hungry, and he mustered up his spirits to look for work everywhere, as long as he could eat, he could do anything. However, at this time, there are more people looking for work, how can he compare with others with a big tongue?
When he thought that his family would not be able to survive that winter, the summoning of the young lady of the Pei family saved him. Life suddenly ushered in a big turnaround, not only some eat and some live, but the old lady was sick and treated! Where can I find such good things?
At the same time, he still had silver on hand, and after Jiuli Mountain was cleared, Steward Li paid everyone wages. He pinched the more than two pieces of silver and signed a long-term work contract with the young lady of the Pei family, and he had monthly money for plowing the field every month, and it was not a problem to live.
Now looking at the sacks of rice collected in the field, piled up like a hill, Jiang stammered and felt a fire in his heart. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will have your own house, and if you have your own cottage, you will be considered a complete home.
Even if the child runs away, he can still raise his two sons to adulthood, not to mention that Da Luo has already reoccupied the lost city! Maybe...... The war is coming to an end, and he can go back and find his land and hometown.
It happened just as many had hoped for it - when winter came, the enemy country raised its flag and surrendered. Once again, he was a vassal to the head of Daluo Mansion and paid tribute every year, and the war that lasted three or four years was finally over!
Although the enemy army came prepared, it was indeed caught off guard at first, but Daluo is a big country with solid reserve forces in the rear, how can it be easily swallowed up by a small pot. Even if there is a change of power within the country and turmoil in the imperial court, the external enemy is currently in force, so it is natural to work together to resist it first.
In this peace negotiation, many people in Daluo were unwilling, believing that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue and teach the enemy country a big lesson, and see if they dare to easily cause trouble.
However, the idea is good, but the reality does not allow them to do so. The enemy country had to withdraw its troops because the military supplies could not keep up, and Naluo was not the same. After years of fighting, there were many losses, what an astronomical account it was.
The granaries reserved in various places have long been emptied, if they do not cultivate and recuperate, and there will be another natural and man-made disaster, how can the people cross?
Peace can usher in a prosperous era, and the people are all eager for a stable day, when the war stops, the whole country rejoices. There is no happiest place for those who have been displaced and those who have been drafted into the army.
Once the success is done, the bones are dry, the swords and guns on the battlefield are eyeless, and the relatives can come back soon!
Everyone was looking forward to it, and the Pei family was naturally no exception, the second lady and the Qin family were almost at eye for the whole night. They hadn't received a letter for a long time, and they didn't know if Pei Junzhi was safe.
"I heard that some people will be left over there to defend the city," the second lady was a little uneasy, and frowned, "I don't know which general Junzhi is under him." ”
"It's okay to defend the city, as long as the people are okay." Qin Shi pulled his handkerchief, his eyes straightened, "The son of the neighbor of the nurse's cousin, the son of the neighbor, wrote that her cousin's son died on the battlefield...... I heard that after a battle, the death of a thousand people is a big deal. ”
"Bah, can you say something auspicious?" The second lady didn't like to hear this, and glared: "Can your nurse speak?" Something bad happened to her cousin's house, and Baba came to tell you! ”
The scolded Qin clan came back to his senses, "It's my magic barrier." After speaking, he lowered his hair and was stunned.
The second lady shook her head at her trance-like appearance and sighed: "Don't think too much, take the child well, Junzhi will come back." ”
There are so many brothers in the family, even if Shao Zhi is a sesame official and can't say anything, but their family wants to dig Junzhi back even if they spend money, how can they allow their son to suffer outside.
Over the next month, many of the city's men who had been fighting outside the city began to return. A few families are happy and a few are sad, and those who receive the return of their relatives are naturally extremely happy, setting off firecrackers, rewarding the gods, and thanking God and earth.
And those who have not yet waited for their relatives to come back are entangled and looking forward to it, not knowing if he is okay and whether he is on his way back.
Fortunately, Pei Junzhi didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and he came back alive! He lost a lot of weight, but his whole person was in good spirits, and he was so good that he made the second lady and the Qin family cry and laugh.
"Go and fetch water for the fourth young master and wipe his face." The second master was also relieved in his heart, it's good to be back, it's good to be back! As soon as he turned around to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with tears rippling, he couldn't help frowning: "Hurry up and clean up Junzhi, people are fine, why are you crying?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The second lady and the Qin family were reminded by him, and they no longer dragged people to let go, and asked him left and right if he was thirsty and hungry, whether he was injured, and so on.
This gossip made Pei Junzhi very busy, and it was the brothers Pei Yanzhi and Pei Shuzhi who helped persuade the second lady and the Qin family.
The eldest lady had already ordered to go down, get a table of good wine and food, and wash the dust for the fourth young master, and they were not immune to setting off a firecracker at the door, and thanking the ancestors and the gods for blessing.
"I'm not here, I'm really bothering the second brother and the third brother to deal with family affairs." At the dining table, Pei Junzhi toasted them with a glass of wine, and the three brothers clinked glasses and drank them all.
The old man on the side shook his head and said, "Where do they have it?" It's not me and the second child, the two old men are doing it, next time you can't be arbitrary, it's time to think about us. ”
Pei Junzhi could have avoided this conscription, but who knew that he asked to go to the battlefield, so he was registered and had to go, but he suffered the worried relatives at home.
Pei Junzhi looked at the second lady and Qin's who had red and swollen eyes, felt in his heart, nodded and said, "What Uncle said is that Junzhi's unfilial piety makes his family frightened, and he won't dare next time." ”
The second master also said: "Although the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, you can't retreat when you should go to the battlefield, and we don't need to force ourselves, it depends on the situation."
The family had a lively meal, and then the people in the big room went back to the courtyard, leaving them in the second room to talk carefully.
Ye Jingqing saw the joy of the family today, and his heart was also a little moved, the war is ruthless, how many people can't come back when they go out? She suddenly remembered Hu Liuming and Ye Zhige in the village, and wondered if they would come back safely.
Thinking like this, she couldn't sit still, and just when she was free, she said to Pei Yanzhi and went out to inquire. Pei Yanzhi and Hu Liuming also have a little friendship, which does not hinder her from going.
Ye Jingqing went to the stable to lead the horse and rushed to the west of the city, presumably at this time, Su or Ye Zhifeng were in the workshop and would not be empty.
As she expected, it was in full swing.
Yang Liu, who was in the outfield, was quite surprised to see Ye Jingqing, and ran over with a smile: "Qingqing is finally willing to come, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
"It's been a long time." When Ye Jingqing returned to her parents' house, Yang Liu was not there, and she was the first time she came back to this workshop.
Jin Lan also saw her, and hurriedly said that she wanted to make tea for her to drink, "I've heard about Miss Qin's Jiuli Mountain, and I must go to see it with my own eyes if I have time." ”
The three of them went inside together, a separate hut, and Su was reconciling the ledger. The Tairan Firm opened the shop to the Qing Shi Building, and the goods taken from her were increasing day by day, and the account books were naturally more complicated, but it hurt her, an illiterate woman.
"I'm afraid you're going to attract the prying eyes of those old fellows," the old man squinted at the cistern at the top of the mountain, "I can't cover it anyway, so I might as well take the opportunity to make a fortune from them." ”
Ye Jingqing blinked: "How to earn?" ”
"I'll leave this matter to me," Pei Yanzhi took her hand and said with a smile: "First implement it in Shi'an City, and then offer it to King Yujun as a favor." ”
