Chapter 177: Return to the Imperial City

Xiao Jiu completed the scheduled study tour plan after two years this time, and looked at the approaching city wall, and everyone showed a cheerful smile on their faces. Xiao Jiu and the three little girls had already come out of the big sedan chair and ran on the grass beside the road.

In the field of crops in the distance, a few peasants were turning the ground, taking advantage of the fixed eyes in each fixed movement, looking at the children running on the grass by the side of the road in front of them, looking at the children's clothes, they knew that these were the dolls of the rich and powerful families who returned to the imperial city. Sure enough, after a while, I saw soldiers walking on the road and men carrying sedan chairs. The people in the field praised the good fortune of these dolls, who were born in wealthy families and did not worry about food and clothing. At the same time, I also sighed how these dolls at home are so beautiful, all like flowers. While he was sighing, a snow-white tiger suddenly appeared, and the frightened people working in the fields ran away in shouts, and two of them fell in a panic. Just when people were panicking, they saw the white tiger come to the child dressed in white, rubbing the child with his head affectionately, and the child was very unhappy and pointed to the tiger's head and said something, the tiger actually lowered his head as if he knew that he had done something wrong, and listened to the doll's lesson.

When everyone watched such an amazing scene, they all felt incredible, the little doll came over, followed by three very beautiful little girls, came to the crowd The little doll hurriedly helped the fallen person to see if he had fallen injured, and apologized and apologized, and then the tiger also came to admit his mistake. Everyone was honest peasants, and even if they fell, they were fine. Seeing that such a small doll is so sensible and reasonable, I am really blessed to admire and envy the people of this family.

At this time, Xiao Jiu paid some money to the person who fell, and the people said that they would not accept anything. Everyone said that how could this adult get the children to give money, this is absolutely impossible. Xiao Jiu also took advantage of this to take a closer look at the tools used by everyone, at this time, because the amount of iron is not very large, and there is the amount of army demand, most of the farmers still use tools made of hardwood, and the harvest is relatively low, Xiao Jiu asked after reading this: "Look at the shape of the land here, it was moved from outside." ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Jiu in amazement. I can't figure out how such a young child could know so much about them. When he was surprised, a person in the crowd said: "We are fleeing, and someone will take care of us and give us houses and land." That's what keeps us alive. Thanks to the Emperor. Thanks to the Ninth Prince. We remember the love. ”

Xiao Jiu asked strangely, "What does this have to do with the Ninth Prince." ”

Everyone said that these methods were all from Jiugongzi, and they were all paid by Jiugongzi, not only to buy the products we harvested. Paying for us to build a house so that we can survive and live is really a good person. Even those who work for other families envy our freedom and the way we are treated. Everyone is talking about how to rent land and hand over grain, so that as long as you can endure hardships, except for what you have handed in, there is no such condition there, and you will even be given seeds, how many seeds you will be given, and how much you will use the harvest when you harvest, the key is that after the harvest, you will come to buy at a reasonable price to ensure the income of farmers after harvest, which makes everyone feel extremely moved. A person said that he fled with himself, and saw that he had just started to open up the wasteland by himself, although there was a subsidy but felt that he could not endure such hardship, so he went to the gravity home to rent land, where it was all good land, although it saved effort, but the rent was much more expensive, and now no one cares about what is harvested, and the owner of the rented land does not care, just collect the rent, and the things he buys are not even enough for the rent, let alone eat for himself, and he doesn't know what to do in the future, and he is still crying here just now, which is really pitiful. We have really met a nobleman, and we bless our sons with many sons and a long life.

When the three little girls heard the prayers of the people, they all smiled and leaned back, and even laughed with tears, and when everyone was wondering, the little girl said that we are very familiar with the child, and we will definitely convey the blessings of everyone. Who knew this, but it caused trouble, everyone heard that it was an acquaintance of the childe, hurriedly kept a few little guys, must wait for a while, then the general and the big men also came to see what was going on, everyone said that the little guys and the son were familiar with each other, the general jokingly said, this is the relatives of the childe, everyone is even more lively, after a while, a large group of people came out of the village, as if fleeing the back of the bag of things, and when they came to the front, they knew that it was for themselves and let the things that were brought to the childe.

Xiao Jiu said to everyone: "We have received everyone's wishes, and thank you for your son, but everyone's things must not be accepted, please understand." ”

Seeing that the people who spoke were children, they blamed the generals who followed, saying that the discipline of the army did not control the army, but the little dolls were not close to the people, Xiao Jiu saw that he hurriedly said goodbye and left, and did not take the same things, and now everyone surrounded the cart guarded by the soldiers, and after a while, they put the things on the cart loaded with supplies and left, no matter what the general said, no one cared about him.

The general said to Xiao Jiu with a bitter face: "Son, you see how to deal with it, I don't dare to pull these things back to the barracks, the general has to pick my skin when he sees it, you can deal with it, even if I beg you." As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu said: "That's on your car, you can take it." Seeing the general's bitter face, he was really embarrassed, so he continued to the general: "Then take half of it, and tell the general that I gave it, so let's do it." Who knew that the general still shook his head and refused, so Xiao Jiu had no choice but to accept it all and send it to his own yard.

At this time, the general let go of his smiling face, and Xiao Jiu said: "Look at your smile now, who made you talk like that just now, if it weren't for your mouth, there would be such a thing." ”

The general said: "I just watched everyone face me and didn't know it, I thought it was funny and watched a joke, who knew that the prestige of the son was so high, so I was ashamed." ”

Xiao Jiudao: "Actually, everyone misunderstood, these people who work are not very demanding, they only need a stable environment, and land that can be cultivated, as long as this need can be met, people will be extremely grateful to you." It's this requirement that we often ignore, which shows that we're not doing well. ”

As he spoke, he saw a large number of people waiting in line to enter the city. Xiao Jiu and the general followed behind everyone, waiting to enter the city. But after waiting for a while and there was no sign of any movement, the general was very surprised, so he sent his soldiers to the front to check it. After a while, the soldiers came back and said that the sergeant of the city defense had forcibly blocked the city because he had encountered a fleeing man who could not pay for the entrance to the city, causing the city gate to be crowded. The soldiers, annoyed by the accusations of the crowd, simply did not let anyone in. At this time, they were arguing with everyone, so that everyone was waiting, and the soldier said that he was from the Shangtu family, so no one cared about it. Let the soldiers stand in the way.

Xiao Jiu thought for a moment. Eyes rolled. said to the general: "It's good for you to trouble this matter once, let someone from a big family act as a soldier, and only lead the army's salary." And there is no use at all, whenever there is a war, it is often these people who desert and ruin the reputation of the army, and such people should be cleared out of the army as soon as possible, so as not to make mistakes. ”

The general nodded and said, "I haven't been used to it for a long time, what do you say, Childe." ”

Xiao Jiudao: "You said that you were transporting important supplies for the forbidden army and needed to enter the city immediately, if he gave way, it would be fine." If it doesn't work, we will have a few big arguments with him, and then we will arrest him directly, send him to the general and lock him up, and then we can do it. After handing over the documents of the emperor and the military department to the general, he said: "The people who came to ask for people have also been detained, and if there are people from the army, they will not let go of all of them." After the rest of the matter, I will handle it, and after arresting the people, I will go directly back to the barracks and leave here. ”

After speaking, the general nodded in agreement, and led the soldiers and vehicles to the city gate. As Xiao Jiu expected, the soldiers were angry, and they didn't buy it at all, and even the four or five soldiers in front of them were all angry. After the general said a few words, with the help of the big men of the Xiao Jiu faction, he arrested these soldiers together, and let the two big men follow them to the barracks and then come back. These two big men have already followed the soldiers according to Xiao Jiu's arrangement, these soldiers who were arrogant were still shouting and scolding when they were just caught, and the two big men according to Xiao Jiu said, regardless of the three seven twenty-one mouths, they hit beyond recognition, and their teeth were all spit out. These few people who had seen such a fierce man there, and then followed the general to the camp honestly. The general told the general that Childe had returned home and handed over the captured people to the general. The general thought for a moment and said, "These fools, this time the prince is going to use them again to ask questions." ”

The general asked puzzledly, "These soldiers can still influence the affairs of the big family." ”

The general said: "Through dealing with Childe in the past few years, I know that as long as Childe wants to calculate whom, then he will definitely be unlucky, no matter what it is, as long as he has a little side with the calculating person, then he will not run." If not, just wait and see. As long as the person who comes to speak is caught and detained, the matter will be big, and the eldest prince will take the opportunity to fish, and the result is that the big family will suffer a loss and can't say it. ”

After speaking, the two walked into the big tent and listened to the general talk about all kinds of things along the way. When he heard that Childe had to go out every night and rush back before dawn, the general sighed and said, "Childe took the risk out of his own because of your safety." Looking at the general's puzzled eyes, the general said: "With the ability of the son and those palanquin drivers, there is a place where you can't go, but once it is leaked, it will inevitably cause many people to intercept and kill, you think, if that's the case, how many of you can come back." ”

The general thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the matter of Tugang, so he nodded and said that the mystery of the son and all the things he had seen, and only then did he sort out a lot of things that he did not understand at that time and did not realize at all. The general ordered the general to keep the matter of going out secret, let alone being with his son.

Xiao Jiu returned to his residence, and the ancestor had already known the time of Xiao Jiu's return through the letter, and was already waiting for Xiao Jiu in the courtyard at this time. As soon as Xiao Jiu came out of the sedan chair, he hugged Xiao Jiu as if he was a child, hugged Xiao Jiu to the small table in the courtyard, hugged Xiao Jiu on his lap, and said continuously: "Child, I'm sorry for you." It is the incompetence of our adults that has caused you to suffer such a great sin. Blackened, thinned. As he spoke, he couldn't care about the old tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes. Then he beckoned the three little girls to come over, and asked everyone about their suffering. (To be continued......)
