After a few days of walking, the crowd switched from land to water.

The ships are all merchants who come and go, and they are all doing business with Lixian.

The boat was not interesting because several people were seasick and could not enjoy the scenery.

Mo Xuan stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the terraces on both sides, and Yun Sheng walked up to him and held his hand.

The waterways have widened a lot, the surrounding mountains are no longer bare, and there are many cattle and sheep living on the terraces, and some of the mountains are even full of fruit trees.

Occasionally, you can see the waterwheel, the waterwheel is not the original version, it is more convenient, there are big and small, and Yunshang even sees the shadow of modern craftsmanship from it.

This is a rich place that I have built myself.

Mo Xuan sighed with pride in his heart, and a sense of pride suddenly rose.

After another two days, the big ship docked, and the wharf had changed its appearance greatly, and it was full of shops and people, and Yunshang even saw the clothes of the Gentiles.

A few little guys looked curiously at everything around them, and everything was new.

"Father, is this Lixian?"

An An said curiously, she had long heard of Lixian, Lixian was very poor before, and her father was the county master here for three years before he changed the poor mountains and bad waters into Jiangnan water towns.

Mo Xuan nodded, "Yes, this is Lixian." ”

At this time, there was already a city in Lixian County, and the city was on a mountain very close to the water's edge, occupying several mountains.

In the past, Lixian County was afraid of floods and droughts, but now the grain is full of mountains, waterwheels are everywhere, and the people are full of food and clothing, so they are naturally not afraid of anything.

They came to the streets of the city in horse-drawn carriages, and the streets were very wide and full of people, and they looked like they were coming from other places, and they always wanted to take a few glances as they passed by.

The main problem now is to solve the problem of accommodation and food.

Mo Xuan led the horse to avoid the crowd, and suddenly heard someone shouting, "My lord, are you Lord Mo?" ”

Mo Xuan turned his head and saw a familiar figure walking forward quickly, looking at Mo Xuan excitedly.

Mo Xuan searched for a familiar figure from his memory, and suddenly smiled, "Li Er? It turned out to be you, do you remember me? ”

Li Er, the person who fought against Mo Xuan back then, looks a little older now, after all, it has been more than ten years, and people will definitely be old.

Li Er's excited eyes were slightly red, and he was about to kneel and kowtow.

Mo Xuan hurriedly stopped the person, "Li Er, don't do this now, I'll lead my family back to take a look." ”

Mo Xuan wanted to keep a low profile, but it backfired, and Li Er's shout alarmed the surrounding crowd.

"Lord Mo? Which Mo-sama? ”

"Who else? Is there a second Mo Master in Lixian? No, I'm going home and tell my father to go, Master Mo is back. ”

"Lord Mo, it's really him, haha, Lord Mo is back."

Almost half an hour later, Mo Xuan was surrounded by the crowd, he didn't even sit down, he came up excitedly, and wanted to say hello to Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan didn't expect that more than ten years had passed, and the people still remembered him.

Mo Xuan patiently answered everyone's questions one by one, the carriage couldn't move forward, Yunsheng and An An and the others opened the window and saw that people like stars holding the moon were smiling and saying something.

"Mother, father is amazing!"

An An starry eyes looked at his father, his eyes full of admiration.

Soon, the crowd parted on both sides, and a man walked over.

This person was the head of a village back then, who used to be in the prime of life, but now he can see that he is old.

"Lord Mo!"

The person who came held Mo Xuan's hands and spoke incoherently excitedly, "Great, we finally waited for Lord Mo to come back." ”

Mo Xuan was helpless, looked at the crowd and said to the old man, "Uncle, you let the crowd disperse, don't gather around here to affect everyone's business." ”

Thinking about it like this, the person who came waved his hand and raised his voice, "Everyone disperse quickly, Master Mo will definitely stay for a few days, and everyone will still be able to see you." ”

The people were reluctant to disperse.

Mo Xuan then said, "Uncle, I didn't want to cause a riot, I took my family to save my relatives this time, and I want to find a hotel." ”

"Hey, what kind of hotel are you looking for? Let's go, go to my uncle's house, and ask your aunt to cook food for you. ”

"Uncle, this is not good, it is too disturbing."

"Don't bother!"

Mo Xuan was dragged by his arm, and it was difficult to break free, so he could only signal Zero One and them to follow.

When he arrived at the large square in the center of the city, Mo Xuan saw the statue standing in the center of the square at a glance, the statue was him, about three meters high, standing on a huge stone pedestal.

The uncle followed his gaze and said with a smile, "When Lord Mo left, the people asked to erect a statue for you, and many squires donated money, and with the consent of their parents, they stood here. ”

Mo Xuan was embarrassed, how did he not expect to see his statue one day.

Yunshang was moved for a while, but she didn't expect Lixian to be so grateful to her husband, and she still remembered him for more than ten years.

Everyone came to the uncle's yard, which was very large and had many rooms, and they locked the carriage in the yard.

When the hostess of this house heard that Mo Xuan's family was coming, she greeted her warmly, prepared hot water and the room, and at the same time asked the kitchen to prepare food.

Yunshang also thought that if there were young girls in this family, there would be a misunderstanding, but she didn't expect that the girls in this family were very sensible, and only occasionally looked at Mo Xuan with admiration, and at other times she knew the rules very well and would not make up for men.

Yunshang sighed, I didn't expect Lixian to be rich, and even the spiritual outlook of people has changed, in the past, they were more rural villagers, but now they seem to be literate and learning.

"Mrs. Mo, over the years, Lixian has also learned from the capital and set up a college and a girls' school, and the girls have also learned a lot of things."

The hostess saw Yunsheng's doubts and opened her mouth to explain.

Yunshang nodded, "That's right, at least learn to read and write, so as not to be deceived by people when you go out to see short-sightedness in the future." ”

"Yes, we also think so, if in the past when there was a flood, men who were literate could at least go out and find some work, why should they be displaced?"

The two were chatting, and Yingying and An An chatted with the girls in this family.

At first, the girl was very careful, but later saw that the two were so kind, she quickly let go of her hands and feet, and the few people chatted happily.

Everyone was greeting, and suddenly someone came in to deliver a message, and the uncle led Mo Xuan to welcome a person in, who was the current county master of Lixian.

Although Mo Xuan explained that he was just here to play, after all, the official position was there, how could the county master dare to slack off? I just got here to accompany me.

The county magistrate originally planned to let them live in the county magistrate's mansion, but Mo Xuan refused, and said that he would not see guests in the next few days, which made the county magistrate dispel his thoughts.

It's a pity that in the next two days, there are always people who come to visit, but fortunately, these people are measured and won't bother too much.

During the day, Yunshang Moxuan led a few children to play around and buy some strange and interesting things.

Xiaoyu saw her childhood playmates, who were already married, but unfortunately they lacked the purity of their youth.

After staying here for five days, Mo Xuan had to say goodbye and leave, and the people sent Mo Xuan to the dock as they did more than ten years ago, watching the ship leave.

Xiaoyu sighed and said, "It's good, father, I will be a good official like you in the future." ”
