Volume 1 Chapter 207 The Unruly Northern Barbarians

"Don't worry, the county lord, I will definitely let the people return to normal life sooner."

Xia Zhengbo said with a straight face.

"I am relieved that Lord Xia will do things, and I will definitely ask Lord Xia for credit when I go back."

Xu Yunjin admires Xia Zhengbo very much, although his talent and family background are not obvious, he is indeed a good official.

Daqi needs more officials who can hear the voices of the people, so that the people at the bottom can live a better life.

"The county lord praised it falsely, this is what the lower officials should do."

Xia Zhengbo was still a little embarrassed, he knew his ability, and he was still in the position of county commander in his thirties.

But even so, he has never forgotten his original intention of becoming an official.

The two of them were polite at the city gate for a while, and Xu Yunjin and the others were really about to leave.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the settlement, the people were standing at the intersection waiting to see them off.

Xu Yunjin got out of the carriage.

"County Lord, all the kind doctors, and all the little doctors, you should be careful all the way.

Thank you for coming all the way to help us, we didn't have any good things, so the family scraped together some money to buy some food in the county.

If you have the opportunity to come to Baohe in the future, you must come to our village to sit down, and we will definitely entertain you well."

Old lady Fu was carrying something in her hand and had to stuff it into Xu Yunjin's hand.

"Old lady, we have food all the way back, you can keep these things.

It's no longer snowing, but you can't farm or build houses.

It's good that you keep it for the children and the elderly, and we won't go hungry along the way."

Xu Yunjin pushed the things back into the hands of the old lady Fu, but this stinky old man was still a little stubborn.

forced Xu Yunjin to accept the bag of things, Xu Yunjin had no choice but to accept it.

"Folks, don't send it, it's freezing outside, go back.

When you rebuild after the disaster, you must listen to Lord Xia's arrangement, he is a good official, and he will definitely try his best to help you."

Xu Yunjin walked and admonished, and then got into the carriage, and some of the women were very sensationally red-eyed.

Xu Yunjin couldn't see such a scene, so he fled quickly.

"Greetings to the lord of the county and all the righteous men."

Old lady Fu shouted angrily, and then there was a grand scene of two thousand people bowing at the same time.

made Xia Zhengbo, the parent official, feel that no matter how hard and tired he is, as long as the people know that it is worth it to return and be grateful.

Everyone watched the carriage go farther and farther at the city gate, and when they were about to go back, Xiao Wu rode back again.

"Little Wu, why are you back? Is it the county lord who has fallen?"

Xia Zhengbo asked with some confusion.

In the next second, I saw Xiao Wu dismount with lightning speed and stuffed a purse into Old Man Fu's hand.

After that, he turned over and ran as fast as he was afraid that someone behind him would catch him, and after a while, he only saw a small black shadow.

"What is this?"

Xia Zhengbo turned his head to look, but saw that Mrs. Fu's eyes were red.

"It's silver, the lord of the county is kind, and he has returned to us double the amount of money he bought for those grains."

Old Man Fu untied his purse with trembling hands and saw that the two big silver ingots added up to more than ten taels.

"Hey, the county lord is a kind person, you must remember the county lord's kindness in the future, I heard that the county lord said that this volunteer was proposed by the county lord to her brother.

Later, her brother told Taishi Zhao that the saint issued a notice to recruit volunteers, and the county lord even led by example to rescue the disaster at a young age.

Not to mention a twelve-year-old girl like the county lord, even a man of my age may not be able to do such an act of kindness."

Xia Zhengbo admired Xu Yunjin very much, this woman is not ordinary.

When the people heard this, they were worried about Xu Yunjin and the Xu family

Even more grateful, they were disdainful of the volunteers when they first arrived.

I don't know what to do if I don't make money, if they don't do it, they definitely won't do it.

But now everyone's mentality has changed so much that many years later, wherever there is a disaster, you can see volunteers from all over the country.

And Xu Yunjin doesn't know these things at the moment, and she is now having a headache in front of these people, how to arrange them.

After Yuen Long left Baohe County, he asked people to find out whether what Tian Dong said was true.

The result is that Tian Dong's family is indeed being monitored, and unfortunately, Tian Dong's terminally ill old mother still did not survive this winter, and it can be regarded as paying for the life of the soldier who was killed in Baohe County.

But Tian Dong's wife and their son and daughter were rescued.

Two of Yuen Long's subordinates waited with them on the way back to Hui Yunjin and the others today.

Knowing that his old mother had passed away, Tian Dong cried and fainted with sadness, but Yang Yan gave people a few stitches to recover.

"You can't go back to Annan Mansion City now, and Baohe County is too, you will definitely be watched, and the best way now is for you to leave far away.

When this matter is dealt with, there is no danger before you come back, and if you have nowhere to go, follow the convoy to the south.

I have a few granges over there, and you can also do some work in the village to support yourself and earn some money to return home in the future."

Xu Yunjin also learned about the cause and effect just now, and expressed his understanding of Tian Dong's filial piety.

If she was in a desperate situation, she might have made the same choice.

If Tian Dong is allowed to drift around like this, he will be discovered by the other party's people at that time, and their family of four will be killed.

She still couldn't be indifferent to the four lives, the south was so far away, it was unlikely that it would be discovered.

It happened that some time ago, when the family bought a grange to buy a property, and gave Du Jiahui a dowry.

She also joined in the fun and bought two, which was regarded as saving people's lives and accumulating blessings for their families.

"Thank you, Lord, thank you."

Tian Dong knelt down in front of Xu Yunjin when he heard this, he really regretted this matter at this moment, if he had a long brain.

Wouldn't it have caused the soldier in Baohe County to lose his life, and he would still be able to accompany his old mother on his last journey, so that he wouldn't even dare to go home to worship like now.

"Thank you for the great grace of the county lord, if it weren't for you, we'd be afraid, kid, kowtow to the county lord quickly."

Tian Dong and her daughter-in-law also pulled their two children to kowtow to Xu Yunjin:

"Thank you, Lord Shire."

The two children were not big, they were thin and dry, and they were wearing clothes that did not fit well and were not warm, Xu Yunjin felt sour when he saw it.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground."

Xu Yunjin stretched out his hand to help the two children up, and then said:

"Go ahead, I will explain to the people below, if you go to the Zhuangzi, I will find you some work to earn money."

After Xu Yunjin finished speaking, Xiao Wu took the person to the empty carriage behind.

The carriage full of medicinal herbs came back to time and space, and it happened that a family of four had a substitute.

"Senior sister, are you really not going back with us? Do you need me or Zhuang Ning to accompany you?"

After seeing a few people get into the car, Yang Yan said with some worry.

"I went to Nanyun County for some business, and if I was fast, I would be back in a month and a half at most, and the medical school students had not attended classes for a long time.

You go back first, don't worry about me, there are so many people around me, if my family comes to ask me, they will say that I am going to do something big.

Besides, Senior Brother Yang hasn't seen Sister Fang Ya for so long, isn't he thinking about it in his heart?"

Xu Yunjin joked that Leng Fangya and Yang Yan didn't know how to look at each other during their medical treatment.

At first, everyone didn't know, until Leng Fangya recovered from her illness, and some people began to go to Leng Niangzi to talk to the matchmaker.

Yang Yan was in a hurry, and a letter flew to Jinping, and Yang Qu heard that his old son wanted it

Kissed.

Hurriedly put down the work of the hospital and came to Jiujiang overnight, the two and Xu Yunxiang Muxu were engaged to each other, and the wedding date in April this year.

"You, well, we know you're measured, but you have to be careful.

Come back as soon as possible, or Uncle Hua won't see you when he comes back, and we're afraid we'll suffer."

Old Man Hua and Old Man Zhuang are so precious that they know how precious Xu Yunjin is, if Xu Yunjin leaves alone and doesn't come back completely, then they are afraid that they will be cut off.

"Don't worry, I'm not in danger."

Xu Yunjin swore an oath, but what she didn't know was that the plan would never catch up with the changes.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Yunjin and his entourage walked to the junction of Anyi County and Nanyun County.

Xu Yunjin was always worried that someone would use disaster relief to make a fuss, so he went around several county seats.

They have only heard about the people making trouble and killing and wounding officers and soldiers, but they have not heard of anyone taking medicine and drinking porridge and causing accidents.

It seems that Yuen Long's words still shocked the officials below, and Xu Yunjin and the others found that several counties were very tightly controlled.

Almost everywhere you pass, there are settlements of different sizes and shapes standing at the gates of the city.

In this way, the distance that could be reached in three or four days was originally completed, and everyone had to walk for seven days to get to the place where Xiaoyi said.

At this time, there was not much snow on the road, and as soon as everyone arrived at the Nanyun County Inn to meet with the twenty people sent by Yuan Xuan to find the coal mine, they got a very bad news.

"What, it's fighting again? Isn't there usually a truce in winter, and the Northern Barbarians are crazy, ignoring the casualties of their own people?"

Xu Yunjin jumped up angrily when he heard the report of the two little soldiers.

When Old Man Zhuang and Old Man Hua went back, they said that the weather was very strange this year.

Therefore, after recovering Yuzhong County, Daqi and Beiban reached a tacit understanding of a winter truce.

Originally, this was very normal in marching battles, and fighting in winter itself consumed more soldiers, with more casualties.

Therefore, everyone is very moral, and during the armistice, they generally do not launch large-scale attacks, who knows that the northern barbarians are so shameless.

Five days ago, they attacked Daqi on a large scale, and they were caught off guard by the old general.

Although the Northern Barbarian soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties, they were a drop in the bucket compared to Daqi, after all, the geographical location of the Beiban was higher than that of Daqi.

The Northern Barbarians are also more hardy, and they are very comfortable with this kind of fighting in the snow.

In the past, it was not without a truce that soldiers were sent to harass the Daqi army, but this was the first time in history that the enemy army attacked regardless of life and death.

General Xiang and Yuan Xuan didn't want to have extra casualties, so they had been only defending and not attacking recently, but who knew that the Northern Barbarians were getting more and more excessive.
