"Happy New Year!"

When Jin Yan shouted this sentence in a childish tone, everyone was slightly stunned.

Then Xiao Jian and Princess Jinyang and others were the first to react, and they immediately followed her example and toasted to each other.

In the past year, Xiao Jian led his army to fight against the Xiongnu, winning successive battles, beheading more than 70,000 Xiongnu, so that they did not dare to harass the border again.

In the past six months, Jinyan took out compost, papermaking, printing, and quyuan plows, etc., which made the economic agriculture of Beidi have been greatly developed.

With the concerted efforts of the officials, soldiers and people in the north, at the end of the year, ninety percent of the people in the north had already used the ondol, and the rest of the people's ondols had not yet been prepared, but double the amount of coal had been sent to their homes.

For the people, this year, this cold winter, is the warmest winter they have ever spent in their lives.

In the north, the conditions of the common people's homes are naturally not comparable to those of the royal palace, but there are also surplus grains in the family, and some meat and pickled vegetables have been accumulated.

Far away in the northland and on the border with the Xiongnu, there were some families living there, including a family surnamed Li.

"Lotus, go and call your father, we're going to eat."

The old woman had a gentle voice, gentle and loving eyebrows, and was smiling at her little granddaughter who was squatting by the fire and eating meat.

Before the change, when it was cold at the end of the year, let alone eating meat, it would be good for them to survive!

But in the past year, many reforms have taken place in the north, not to mention reducing taxes, giving them good seeds, teaching them how to farm and breed, and now they are making kang for the people, and distributing coal that can replace firewood to every household......

The little granddaughter ran out obediently, and after a while, she hurriedly ran back, "Mother, father, he's kowtowing!" ”

When the old woman heard this, she had a number in her heart.

She put the firewood away, and then walked out with her little granddaughter in tow, and sure enough, she saw her old man kowtowing in the direction of Northland City.

"You also knock one."

Old man Li said.

Originally, when he was allowed to migrate, he didn't want to come at all.

His son died in battle, and their old half-cut old thing migrated to the Northland with a five-year-old doll, so didn't they send them to death?

But now, he had to thank the villains who had forced them here in the first place.

The old woman took her granddaughter and kowtowed, and then saw a fire flashing not far away, and the old woman was startled, and subconsciously wanted to get a stick to beat the jackal.

"Don't be afraid, it's from the government!" The old man said.

He had good ears and heard the voices of acquaintances.

Really.

The young official led the people to their house, knocked on the door and greeted them, and then said, "Old man, according to the general's orders, we specially sent coal and meat to the people who emigrated to the border. ”

Old man Li took a closer look, his pupils shook slightly, "Officer, is the amount of coal and meat wrong?" ”

One of the grumpy officials immediately shouted, "What, you mean that we have taken away your meat and coal?" ”

Old man Li hurriedly shook his head and explained: "No, no, the villain is saying, is this coal and meat too much?" ”

The chief official said: "No, all the people who have migrated to the border like you have received meat and coal according to the population of their families, and as for the part that you think is extra is the general's condolences to the relatives of the martyrs who died in battle, and this part of the money is from the royal palace." ”

In the end, he said that the fire kang had been arranged to their side, and it would be the turn of the old man's house in two days, so that they should not be in a hurry, wait with peace of mind, everything promised by the general will be fulfilled!

The officials took the coal and meat to the next house, and the old man was still stunned.

"Old man."

The old woman stepped forward, but found him in tears.

The old man's voice was choked and hoarse, "It turns out that someone remembers that my son died fighting for the country!" My son didn't die in vain, he didn't die in vain! ”

……

Northland.

Chen.

Chen's father, Chen's mother and their two sons all gathered around the charcoal fire, eating meat while watching the snowflakes falling outside, and their hearts were warm.

"It's so late, and Sui'er doesn't know when I'll be back!"

Before the woman could say this, the man next to her said dissatisfiedly, "What do you know? Sui'er is now reused by the general, and the less he goes home, the more the palace attaches importance to him! ”

Their eldest son couldn't help but remind: "Father, younger brother, he just followed the general's nephew, Lord Zhong......"

"Lord Zhong is with the eldest prince all day long, and the eldest prince is the heir of the palace, so Sui'er is doing things for Lord Zhong, isn't he doing things for the heir of the palace, and doing things for the general and the prince?" The man said confidently.

His wife and children fell silent.

Though.

But.

Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?

Fortunately, they did not wait long before there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, followed by a knock on the door, and the man immediately got up to open the door, but heard the old wooden door of his house creaking like a donkey's bark.

"Sui'er?"

Before the man could speak, Chen Sui's voice sounded from the door, "Father, it's me, you don't have to come over, I'll close the door." ”

Soon, the family sat down by the charcoal fire again.

On the small table on the side were some wine, meat and dried fruits, which Chen Sui brought back from the palace.

"Sui'er, is this really meat? Why is it different from the color of the person we cooked? Mother Chen asked curiously.

Chen Sui said: "It's meat, these meats are cooked in a special way invented by the lord of Weng, delicious and not firewood, mother, you will know if you taste it." ”

As soon as they heard this, the Chen family no longer doubted it, and immediately took a knife, slice some meat and started eating.

Father Chen said happily while eating: "It's still my son who is so powerful, and he can get so many rewards from the general, which shows how much my son is valued in the palace!" ”

Chen Sui knew that his father was just showing off, but he still said: "Father, all the guests of the palace are rewarded, I am young, and I have not made any meritorious contributions......

He wanted to say that his reward should have been minimal.

But Father Chen immediately answered: "What's this, my son is so smart, he will definitely be able to make suggestions for the eldest prince and establish great achievements!" ”

Chen Sui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

He looked in the direction of the palace and said respectfully: "I will make meritorious service, I will make great meritorious service, and repay the eldest prince for his appreciation of me!" ”

At this time, in the palace, the New Year's feast was almost over, but the happiness belonging to Xiao Jinan had just begun.

From the moment Jin Yan threw a firecracker smaller than his finger, Xiao Jinan became obsessed with this kind of thing, which not only has a sound after being thrown, but even has some special colors.

The others stared at Jin Yan with burning eyes, and Xiao Jian asked, "This is what you've been doing these days?" ”

Jin Yan nodded.

Zhong Xing, who guessed what Xiao Jian was thinking, had already shown a crazy expression, "An, if this thing is bigger, will it be able to increase its power several times?" ”

The corners of Jin Yan's mouth twitched, and he nodded again.

I can only say that it is worthy of you, and you really talk about rebellion every day! (End of chapter)
