The first to respond to Jarley was the sound of a crutch falling.

can give Yu Qinniang's uncle a lot of fright.

Because Xu Tianxin showed the crutches that could be used as a stool, when he saw that Tian's son-in-law was curious, he handed it to Tian's son-in-law and asked him to sit and try.

When the senior official came in, Tian's son-in-law saw that everyone stood up, and he hurriedly stood up, and then was called by the senior official's "Tian Xin", Tian Qingwen was stunned, and forgot to hold on to the crutches.

Obediently, it's one thing to have heard of it, and it's a different kind of excitement to see it with your own eyes, but there are too many topics to talk about with your parents on this trip.

Uncle Yu's face turned red, and he bent down to help his son-in-law pick up crutches, as if it was not right to kneel down and say that the grass people were guilty, it was quite ruinous to ruin the atmosphere, and many people were watching them.

Xu Tianxin took two steps forward, shielded the duo of picking up crutches, and saluted Jia Lai: "General Jia." ”

Jia Lai pointed at Xu Tianxin and said with a smile:

"In the letter, you also know that if you call me Grandpa Jia, it's better to meet than to see each other? Speak well. ”

"Grandpa Jia, I didn't think this was a formal occasion."

"It's a formal occasion that you should call Grandpa Jia even more. You are still the old general Jia. Forget General Jia, you little girl, what's the matter with the old words. ”

Jia Lai complained about Xu Tianxin, walked in front of Mrs. Xu in a few big steps, smiled and waved his hand to prevent him from saluting. It was precisely because he was afraid that the people would not stop saluting when they saw these generals, so he came down now, otherwise he would have shown up a long time ago.

Greetings:

"Last time, I said goodbye, I really haven't seen you for a few days, big sister, how is the family now?"

Mrs. Xu smiled and thought:

But no, the last time I saw General Jia was in the cave, and then I saw Lu Yan, met Shan Shao, and even met General Huo Da who was privately interviewed by Weifu, but I never saw Jia Lai again.

But the family buys and sells, the mutton eaten at home, the seafood and hairtail eaten during the Chinese New Year this year, including the wild boar skin and sheepskin boots worn now, there is the shadow of General Jia everywhere.

Listening to her granddaughter, she was taken to the col to make cannonballs that time, and she dared to let go of her hands and feet to do it, and in those few days, from food to clothing, she was taken care of by Lu Yan and Jia Lai in all aspects.

"General Jia, thanks to you, the family is very good right now. When I came, I still thought, I don't know if I can see you when I come here, the child said to write a letter to try, but I didn't expect to really meet...... "Mrs. Xu introduced her second son to Jia Lai again.

Because people asked, "This is not the one we saw last time, right?" ”

"This is the second, the third is at home, and he didn't come this time."

Xu Tianxin also introduced beside him: "Grandpa Jia, this is my second uncle. ”

Jia Lai is deeply impressed by Xu Youcang, he has a lot of strength, he is a good material for a soldier to hold a spear, and he may be able to be reborn if he practices well.

But the Xu family has no one, and people may not be willing to do it.

At this time, seeing Xu Youliang, although he didn't look as tall and strong as the one, Jia Lai still instinctively thought about whether he could be a soldier when he saw anyone.

In fact, this is okay, this calm is suitable for being a fixed-point gunner.

Since Jia Lai entered the tent, he deliberately chatted with the Xu family first.

When the guards arranged the seats, they motioned for Mrs. Xu to sit under General Jia's right hand, and Xu Youliang to sit under General Jia's left hand.

Xu Youliang sat down and thanked the guards for bending down.

Because the soldiers specially brought him a chair, and moved it for him to make a gesture of invitation, he had never received this treatment before. After sitting down, he looked at his mother opposite him, and he barely calmed down.

Then there are the head of the academy, Mr., the famous students, the money clerks, the insiders, and the elderly people.

As for Miss Hui...... Miss Xu took the initiative to say that she was not enough to sit, so she had to stand.

Xu Tianxin was standing behind Jia Lai, standing with the two guards.

Outside, the drizzle was fluttering, and the red lanterns were swaying by the north wind of the city gate.

There were already soldiers feeding fodder to the mules and oxen of the people's convoys.

In the long makeshift oil shed, everyone was listening to Jalai's speech.

Jia Lai pointed to Xu Tianxin, who was standing next to him, and first told everyone that in the letter Tianxin gave him, he wrote about how busy everyone was on this trip.

Therefore, the general specially ordered him, on behalf of the general and the Zhenbei Army, to express his gratitude to the people.

Everyone followed Jia Lai's speech and glanced at Xu Tianxin, which was never expected.

Hearing it, even the general knew about it, and thanked them, and everyone was a little excited.

And there are still many people pondering: Tian Xin'er, this child is worthy of deep friendship, you see that she really writes good things, and she doesn't take credit at all.

However, Jia Lai's next words made everyone even more stupid.

Jallai announced two happy events.

One is something that will make them cry with joy for all the students who will participate in the imperial examination in the future.

That is the Zhenbei Army, which integrates the military and the government, and will provide the academy with a collection of scriptures on current politics in the future.

The head of the academy was first stunned by this happy letter, and then he was so out of shape that he had to stand up and slam Jia Lai to the ground.

Bai Muyan and the other students were also stunned for a moment, and with tears in their eyes, they followed the mountain chief to salute Jia Lai.

Because there are still a lot of children in the north, but the reason why they can no longer go to the imperial examination is because of the lack of knowledge in this area.

For example, the white-haired floats in the air, and the anthurium dials the empty waves, and they can write all the basic questions that can fill the blanks by rote memorization. So they can get into the middle school children's exams.

However, if you take the test higher, it will become a topic of white hair floating in green water, and discuss the relationship between local culture and cultivating talents. Bai Muyan, who was talented in the exam, can be regarded as having passed the test.

For example, let's take the topic of white hair floating in green water to discuss the relationship between regional economy and local governance.

Again, it is still this topic, so that the criteria for writing the selection of talents for the imperial court are written.

There is also the need for autonomy and obedience in the administration of officials.

It can be seen that the higher the examination, the more you have to keep up with the law, official documents, mathematics, current affairs, especially all aspects of current politics.

The four books and five classics are well cooked and can write a good calligraphy is already the most basic.

And how can they have official documents to read, not even copy newspapers, not to mention that the north is far away from the capital, a government decree for a while, and when the daylily reaches the north, it will be cold, where to get the literary everyone's collection of explanations of current affairs.

But they are the general of the Northland, Huo Yunqian.

So Jia Lai signaled to the mountain chief and the students, don't thank him, this is the general who took over the north, and discovered the difficulties of the students.

There is only one point, the head of Wanwang Academy should not only accept students from the north, but also accept students from other places in the future.

The mountain chief solemnly responded.

As for the second happy event, it is about compensating five acres of wasteland and supplying the families of those strong men who died in the Northland Chengguan.

Even Mrs. Xu was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at General Jia.

Not to mention others, it will only be more unbelievable.

There were many old men who were squatting in the dark, and they wondered if they should not pollute the eyes of the nobles.

At this moment, he couldn't help but slowly stand up and stare at Jia Lai.

To be honest, I've seen people bullied to death, but I've never heard of people who can still see money back after so many years.

Even if you know that the new army in Zhenbei is different from the previous garrisons elsewhere, it can't be like this? This is not in line with reality, this is all necessary.

However, it is true that the 12 villages that have arrived at the border today will be the first to implement them, because Jalai will personally supervise them. The rest of the villages, as soon as the government decree comes out, can be reclaimed this year if it is fast.

Jia Lai can't say it directly, the imperial court has never said anything, so the new army in Zhenbei who took over this city pass will make up for everyone. It stands to reason that it's too late, maybe after so many years, the family has lost its breadwinner and can't stand it for a long time, and the family is gone. It's not impossible.

At this time, Jia Lai randomly ordered a Lizheng and asked him to answer how many people were in the military service that year, and how many people came back.

Sun Lizheng was very nervous, why didn't he name Liu Laozhu, his legs and stomach were tendons: "Hui, General Hui, there were ninety-two households in our village that year, and seventy-four families were requisitioned, and none of them returned." ”

Sun Li is relatively young, and his son is not old enough when he was conscripted.

But the other leaders panicked, even Liu Laozhu's palms were sweating, and Liu Jingdong's face was flushed.

These people are really afraid that General Jia will continue to name them, and then their reply will become: "There are 110 households in our village, and there is one person who comes back, and that person is my son." ”

How can it be such a coincidence, none of the sons of the Li Zhengmen died. All of them are a little tired of the short-lived ghost king and the previous Zhenting.

In fact, the people know it or not, and slowly they can see it, and they know that no one is stupid.

Some villagers think like this, that person should be back to the inside, the size is an official, and whoever changes will let his family borrow some light, which is called a matter of life and death. Who let us not be Lizheng. I still blame myself, I'm not a capable father.

No, before Jia Lai could say anything else, the Li Zheng's face turned red.

Even Liu Jingdong was thinking: I really shouldn't worry about eating. Obviously, the second brother (Xu Youliang) was the same as him, and he didn't eat anything along the way, but he said that he was not hungry.

Fortunately, Djarai asked this question for the soldiers, and he did not continue to call names.

None of them returned, and the souls of so many soldiers were also buried in the northern city pass.

When Jia Lai came, he saw the students carving ice sculptures, and he said that this was an iron-blooded ice sculpture, so he changed it to: "Heaven and earth are heroic, and the wind and snow welcome back people." ”

Back then, those heroic souls braved the snow to meet the enemy, and now on this day of reunion, it just so happens that their families have also come to the northern city pass, and they will return as if the snow has fallen.

Therefore, after Jalai announced these two things, he arranged to visit the border camp.

"Can we go in?" This time it was Xu Tianxin's turn, and it was unbelievable.

……

A group of bewildered civilians and students were led by two rows of officers and soldiers into the gate of the camp.

They saw the border city on the left and the dense forest North Ridge on the right, and heard that the mountain road was very rugged, and it was impossible to get up the heavy cart, and it was even more difficult to ride on the iron.

Due north of the highlands is the garrison military station, and in the northwest direction, there are dozens of school fields.

There are three large stone walls and dozens of small stone walls in Chengguan.

Xu Tianxin demonstrated the road she had traveled backwards in her heart, that is, if the enemy army attacked the city gate, it would be downhill when it came in, and arrows would be released on dozens of slightly lower city towers in all directions.

Dodging these dense arrow feathers, even if it is the second gate, you have to go to the low-lying area, because there is still a gate here.

Xu Tianxin has seen those ancient city passes in combination with modern times, and she guessed that it should be a large reservoir, and then release water to drown the enemy army. Either that, or firing the artillery, there will always be people who stick to this place and end up with the enemy army anyway.

The people finally came to the last gate, and the North Ning Pass was written above.

Today, Huo Yunqian specially approved that the city gate will be opened for the people.

Lu Yan is leading the team to look at Xu Tianxin here, and the soldiers will use lanterns to illuminate you.

Lu Yan thought to himself: Tian Xin'er, go, there is the battlefield ahead, and your father is here......

I heard that the officials who sued for peace with the enemy army in those years asked their subordinates to burn those loyal bones in batches, and the sky was full of flames, and it was burned for seven days and seven nights before it was burned.

Later, the previous general, General Yan, ordered the largest pile of ashes to be buried, and buried it in the place where the guards could see it on the city tower, and a monument was erected there.

In front of the monument, the head of the academy took Bai Muyan and other students to kneel and worship.

Without you, where would I be able to study safely?

The ancient pass is still in the north, and the gatekeeper is not seen.

I didn't see his face, but I was deeply gracious.

And the people's team, how many old men and old ladies looked at the tombstone and suddenly bent their waists, and the dust settled, knowing where it was not there.

Uncle Yu was the first to cry: "Second baby, this time my father knows where you live, don't worry, in order for you to stop living here, I will also give more things to the army in the future." ”

Tian's son-in-law was supporting his father-in-law, and he also cried and said, "Brother Spring Duck, Brother Flying Duck, Brother Black Duck, I am your youngest cousin Qingwen, I came to see you......"

He lost several cousins.

Tian's son-in-law was very glad to have come with him this time, and he went home to tell a few uncles and aunts that he had helped them see a few brothers.

Xu Youliang is crying while covering his eyes with one hand, will this be the only time he can be so close to his eldest brother? While pulling Xu Tianxin's arm, he seemed to want to say to Xu Youtian, big brother, the opportunity is rare, you can take a look at your daughter.

Xu Tianxin sniffed and thought: How did things become like this? Look at her milk and the second uncle crying.

Didn't they come to give a show, how could they in turn be presented with dumplings stuffed with beef and radish, visit the camp, go outside the city gate, and prepare paper money for them.

And the twelve are burning paper.

At this moment, regardless of whether there has been a cat in his heart, he feels that in the future, during the New Year's Festival, the incense in their villages will be burned to those children who have not come back.

Yes, something should be done.

On the tower of the city, there are many guards standing there at the city gate, and these people are all thinking about this scene:

Listen to the cries of the people, and then step on the city gate guarded by the bones, how dare you forget, and comfort the heroic soul, it should be a complete turnaround.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, the common people's team left the border.

Don't look at the crying before, but the spirit is different.

In the dark sky, with torches lit, I couldn't see which old man shouted, "Soldiers, go back. You can rest assured, this time I will not pay taxes and grain to the county office, I know that it will be handed over to you, and the rice I picked will be handed over this autumn. ”

Yes, everyone will go back and publicize with their relatives: "Farming and fighting." We understand the truth that farming is to feed more people to fight, and to fight is to have more land to cultivate! ”
