Chapter 549 Chapter 549: Enemies meet again (Part 1) [Please vote]
"Sir, if you don't mind, why don't you go to the humble house to have a rest first? The Lord Prayer Book has been very busy recently, and I'm afraid he will have to come to your door now. Fight." The young man suggested kindly, as if he was afraid that the other party would run away, and his warm and hospitable attitude made the young lady of the Zhao family secretly suspicious.
Young scribes believe a word?
What if the other party is lying?
Unknown to everyone, the young man was not worried at all.
Who in Longwu dares to deceive the government?
"If so, I'm sorry to bother you."
The young scribe nodded and accepted the invitation.
The young man smiled brightly and threw the unconscious man onto the horse with one hand. He held the reins and led the way with the two young ladies from the Zhao family.
Along the way, they did not forget to brag about the construction achievements of the government office in recent times, such as the large road extending from the government office city under their feet! This road can accommodate three carriages running in parallel. It not only connects to the official road, but will also be paved to the villages and towns surrounding the government office in the future.
It greatly facilitates people in villages and towns to travel, and also helps them sell their own specialties, exchange what they have, and save time and manpower.
The young scribe frowned slightly when he heard this.
“I’m afraid this kind of corvee is inappropriate.”
For any project that the government agency needs to carry out, corvee labor will be recruited from the private sector, and every household will force people of appropriate age to participate in unpaid labor. Looking at the construction progress and scale of this avenue, it is clear that spring plowing and even Shen Tang Ping Tiao Long Dance started last year.
The people born from the common people are the main labor force of each family.
How can they take care of the farmland at home while they are doing corvee work?
On second thought, I felt conflicted.
This avenue was built flat, wide and smooth all the way, and the spring plowing in Longwu was also completed very well without any delay.
The young lady of the Zhao family whispered: "It's not a corvee."
The young man who was about to explain looked at her in surprise.
"How does the young man know?"
The young scribe also looked at her: "Isn't it a corvee?"
The young lady of the Zhao family coughed lightly: "It's... my family said it. There are still some at home. A relative once went to Heyin to do business and came back and told him that there were few corvees in Heyin. The common people will also be paid equal amounts of money and grain. Some of the time-consuming and heavy physical work is basically done by the warriors under Shen Jun's account, and the rest of the lighter work is done by the common people so as not to delay the farm work of each family. "
It can even supplement household income and improve life.
Work such as land reclamation is done directly by brave warriors. If there are not enough farm tools for spring plowing, warriors will be sent to do it. Warriors are brave enough to do anything. The young lady of the Zhao family guessed what the plan was when she saw that the spring plowing in Longwu County was not delayed.
There is also my father’s hard work here!
Actually, she was a little unhappy when she heard about it.
My father is a general who is good at fighting!
How to do muddy work in the fields?
My father didn't think so, and even told her with a smile that the past two years were rare peaceful days in his life: "Is killing people on the battlefield more noble than farming on the farmland? The former relies on killing people to support their families, while the latter They rely on farming to keep themselves fed. ”
Zhao Feng sat and squeezed his sore feet: [Whether it is a general or an old farmer, which one is not making a living? 】
He raised his finger again and pointed at his house, which could be regarded as a mansion: [There is a saying that 'if your fingers are not stained with mud, you will live in a building with scales'. Is this correct? You can take it for granted, but you can't think that it's wrong for your father to work in the fields. 】
【My father is not so noble. 】
Zhao Feng knew that his daughter felt sorry for him.
I feel more and more warm about this little cotton-padded jacket.
The young lady of the Zhao family didn't understand it at first, but her father has always been her hero, and she would remember whatever he said. After running away from home for a while, I saw many scenes of troubled times along the way, and I could vaguely understand my father's mood when he said those words...
The young scholar was shocked.
He looked at the young man for confirmation.
The young man nodded and said with a smile: "It is true. I feel sorry for the difficulty of governing the common people, and I am also afraid that delaying farming will make it difficult for the common people to eat in the coming year, so I came up with this strategy. Fortunately, several generals are understanding. Governing the common people I am all grateful..." Her expression was filled with——
[Look, my lord is hot—so good! 】
Young scribes have strong receptivity.
I feel a little regretful.
What’s a pity?
It’s a pity that Qi Yuanliang’s lords all had short lives!
This unconventional Mr. Shen was indeed kind and loving to the people. He did not hesitate to bear the blame of outside warriors but also protected the common people. However, he was targeted by Qi Yuanliang. In a few words, the young man had thrown the captured man to his colleagues who came to rescue him.
She placed her order in advance today.
The young man is the daughter of the former Luxia County Sheriff.
Last year, Luxia County was robbed, and both her father and brother were killed in the battle. She was the only orphan left in the family and her brother's infant son, her nephew. Their aunt and nephew were entrusted to Shen Tang. After careful consideration, she chose to follow, but she unexpectedly found a way out.
Now that she is training in the military camp, her nephew is taken care of by her old housekeeper, wet nurse, and maid. The "family of five" relies on her salary, the assets she brought out, and the additional money allocated by Shen Tang. . The house is simple and fully equipped.
The wet nurse opened the door with her nephew in her arms.
"Mother...ah, the husband is back..."
The wet nurse wanted to call her "Mother", but when she saw two unfamiliar faces behind her, the name came to her lips. It was changed to "Lang Jun". The little nephew also opened his arms enthusiastically and wanted to be hugged by her. Who could refuse the invitation of a fat, white human cub?
“I haven’t seen you for a few days, and I’m a little heavy again.” She weighed her nephew with satisfaction and returned the child to the wet nurse. “Does the east kitchen have good wine and good food? If not, let Uncle De run away. One visit. A distinguished guest is here today and needs to be treated well. "Sir, please come in."
Most of the buildings were destroyed after the previous administration was robbed, and now these houses were re-planned and rebuilt.
Neat and uniform, it makes people feel comfortable.
The two were arranged to stay in two guest rooms.
The conditions at home are simple, but they did not make the two young people feel neglected at all. Uncle De and the others even entertained them with great effort, which made the thin-skinned young lady from the Zhao family feel a little embarrassed.
On the second day, the boy got up early to warm up with the hammer dance in the courtyard.
After that, go to the military camp outside the city to order Mao.
I came back not long after and brought breakfast.
As soon as I came back, I happened to see the young lady of the Zhao family dancing with a gun in a crudely built martial arts training ground. She stopped and admired it until she stopped. She applauded: "Good marksmanship, I have never seen it before. Is this what Xiaolang learned?"
The young lady of the Zhao family wiped her sweat.
Panting slightly, he said: "It doesn't count..."
It was taught by her father's generals.
"You haven't eaten the morning meal yet? I brought some back from outside. Where is sir? Why haven't you seen anyone so early in the morning?" The young man didn't know enough to ask.
The young lady from the Zhao family pouted: "She must be lying in bed."
Unlike her who danced after hearing the chicken, that gentleman was very lazy and always had to be urged three times before he would get up. During these days together, she had to wait for him until the sun rose. After simply finishing the morning meal, the young scribe came over rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"I just went to the government office to inquire. They said that I will not return until after noon. How about you two traveling with me to Ruyao?"
Look at the development potential of Ruyao!
When the time comes to see my lord again, he will definitely be impressed!
“It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. I’m sorry for bothering you.”
The Ruyao city, based on the re-planned city distribution based on the ruins, gave the young scribes the first impression that it was spacious, clean and simple. , but there is vitality in the depression. Scattered shops can sometimes be seen on the streets and alleys.
The young man took them to visit the most well-constructed part. When they were tired, they chose a restaurant with a good reputation for cooking. Just as she was about to inquire about their taste, she saw the young scribe's eyes falling into the distance at some unknown moment, and she followed her gaze.
A scribe with a familiar silhouette, a cat crouching on his shoulder and cheek to cheek, was stopping in front of a dry goods stall.

It’s not good to take the master out to buy rations in such a busy schedule. Have you noticed the cold eyes behind him?
