After arriving at the Eastern Zhou Camp, Zhou Yiyun first met with the generals who were stationed here, and Liu Xu and others were arranged in Yunjianzhai, which has a hundred families. Farming, mostly the elderly and children, and most of the adults went to work in the town.The soldier who led the way welcomed the group of people into a building similar to a modern courtyard. There were three main rooms on the opposite side, and four wing rooms on each side. Liu Xu was very satisfied with the simplicity and elegance, and the soldier hurried forward: "Prince, concubine, The yard has been cleaned up, and the villain will help you move your belongings now."

Liu Xu has a good impression of this kind of person who saves her troubles: "Who arranges this?"

The soldier replied respectfully, "It's the county magistrate."

Liu Xu carried her sleeping bag into the main room, other people were busy moving things, Tao Ye and Xiao Ya also wanted to help, but Liu Xu gave her a stare and decided to listen to the master's arrangement after entering the main room.

In the Eastern Zhou camp, Chen Jiangwei invited Zhou Yiyun into the barracks. The five-year-old man, with sweat dripping from his brow, brought a cup of tea from somewhere, put it on the table and stood aside, blushing and choking out words: "The eleventh prince, I... I'm a rough person and I don't know how to behave, you... don't mind."

Zhou Yiyun waved his hand: "Okay, my prince doesn't have so much to say, tell me if you are the biggest here, and if so, just sit down and answer."

Chen Jiangwei sat on the corner of the chair cautiously: "Eleventh Prince is what I say." After speaking, he jumped up and knelt down as if he was frightened: "No... no, the Eleventh Prince is the biggest, please...please give me your favor." crime."

Zhou Yiyun twitched his lips: "Why don't you take a rest and find someone to talk to?"

"Eleventh Prince, how can I do that? They can't get the chance to talk to you."

"Well then, tell me what your name is, what position you are in charge of, how many people are stationed here, what's going on here, get up and answer."

"My name is Chen Tiezhu, and he is the general guard here. It turned out that there were 10 people looking for their own way, and only [-] were left." It's been two generations, and the inside and outside of the room are the same in the wind and rain."

"Why not rebuild or fix it?"

Chen Tiezhu's voice became louder: "Reconstruction requires money. We are very poor. If it is windy and rainy, we can go up the mountain and pull two handfuls of hay to cover it. It will be the same if the hay rots." He sat on the chair boldly: " To tell you the truth, in the past, the soldiers who came here ran away quickly after hitting their sticks, because they were afraid that there would be no money to fish if they stayed. I think this place is very good, simple, and has no evil intentions."

Zhou Yiyun glanced at him: "It's the poor who are not evil."

Chen Tiezhu slapped the table down: "You have a good brain, don't you? Those rich people are so fat, their foreheads are so bright, and their stomachs are full of water. If it weren't for my business here, I would miss Killed those bastards, they are so fucking inhuman, they only bully honest people. Eleventh prince, let me tell you..." Plop knelt down again: "Eleventh prince, this is how I meet someone I can talk to , it's just... a bit out of order."

Zhou Yiyun laughed loudly and helped him up: "You can sit firmly on this chair, and keep your head in front of this prince. I like your character, and I won't blame you for anything you say."

"Ah." Scratching his head: "Eleventh Prince, what else do I have to say?"

"Just tell me what you know, the prince will reward you for what you say."

Chen Tiezhu stared dumbfounded and asked: "Reward? Reward...reward for what?"

"What reward do you want?"

Rolling his eyes, he begged for a reward without confidence: "The eleventh prince, why don't you reward a few barracks?"

"Okay, what you said is good, my prince will give you money to rebuild the barracks."

Chen Tiezhu rubbed his hands, turned around with a silly smile, and brought in a large teapot and a rice bowl from the outside, filled the bowl with tea and drank it, and planned to have a long talk: "I heard from my father that this place was once the Holy Majesty In order to strengthen the control of the eastern region, 10 officers and soldiers were stationed. It was a good start. The officers and soldiers received their salaries, the weather was good, and the crops were harvested. I have been beating them intermittently for three years, and this one dozen grain and tax collections have harmed these people." He slapped the table angrily, and the pots and bowls slammed with force: "The most abominable thing is that Wang Batou county magistrate, the enemy army When the call was about to come in, he was rolled up and ran away. Those few years were simply not human life. Later, when the county magistrate Liu came, he began to govern. Let me tell you, this county magistrate Liu is Good official, he passed the exams before, even the senior officials in Beijing wanted to recruit him to be his son-in-law, but he was reluctant to let his old lady in the country refuse. Unexpectedly, the senior official sent him here, tsk tsk, he cheated on his old lady I was the one to pick him up when he took office, and after he came, he moved the people in the vicinity to a village not far from the town on a large scale, and then he settled down."

"Why is there no one plowing the fields I passed by when I came here?"

"What kind? What kind, who knows when the staff will fight, even some soldiers are hiding, can they beat it? I'm not afraid of your prince's jokes, most of the soldiers here are the second generation sent by the previous saints. Stick, I can’t walk away, and my loyalty is also my last wish. Once this stick is beaten, [-]% of them will not survive. There are also some old people from the past. Those with arms and legs, they simply set up some houses next to the village to raise them. □□It’s done, and it’s considered as being loyal to the Holy One.”

Zhou Yiyun pondered for a moment: "The court will pay the salary..."

"Don't mention the salary, you can get a few coins in your hands after being handed out layer by layer. More than ten years ago, there were high-ranking officials, and you could get a couple of liang of salary, as well as weapons and food. Now you can get it It’s only a few copper coins. Look at the land behind the barracks. You eat so much food every year. Who dares to take more from the common people? Those who have families will give some, and those who have no homes will find food for themselves. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Well, to file a complaint is to leave your post without authorization, whether you can see the Holy Majesty when you escape is still a matter of opinion, even if you see the Holy Majesty, you may believe it or not. What do you think is going to happen?"

Zhou Yiyun was eating rough steamed buns in the barracks, choking and rolling his eyes. Chen Tiezhu hurriedly poured tea for him to eat, and slapped all the way back to Yunjiansai. The rare and gentle catkins beat his back for him. Satisfied, Zhou Yiyun squinted his eyes and smiled. Liu Xu slapped him on the back. Zhou Yiyun retched and stopped snoring.

"Look at your rich voice, you can't even taste good grains." Liu Xu mocked Zhou Yiyun who was pouring tea.

"Xu'er, don't mention this, my father still feels like there is a stone in his throat."

Liu Xu asked with great interest: "Father knows the poverty in this place, should I let you come here, is it really for training to make you more powerful, or to use your hands to eradicate some crooked practices?"

"Let's improve it first, and take care of other things when the master has free time. By the way, why do you live in the wing?"

"Living in the wing with Taoye and Xiaoya set an example. This is no different than in the mansion. I don't want to be treated differently if I come here together."

Zhou Yiyun focused: "Set an example, build a barracks for them tomorrow, first take 1000 taels as a base, and then bring some of the high-quality tea that brother ten gave me when I left Beijing, let them try it too."

Liu Xu refused: "Forget about tea, how many people can get it for so many people? You might as well dig a well with everyone."

Zhou Yiyun nodded his head: "Yes, it's good to do this." His face was flushed as if he was shy: "Today, I don't have the nerve to ask Chen Tiezhu out of face. Some words in his words are not very clear. I will tell you. Joint research?" Liu Xu wondered, does this person also know other languages?My job requires English to pass the test, but I don’t know if it’s the difficult vocabulary he said: “Speak, I’ll listen.”

Zhou Yiyun giggled twice: "What do you mean?"

"What?" Liu Xu reflexively asked.

"What?" Zhou Yiyun patted his forehead: "Ah, what Chen Tiezhu meant by Zhazheng, I can't figure it out."

"Oh, it means what to do, it should belong to the dialect, isn't that person very bold?" Liu Xu couldn't help laughing, and made a second reaction for herself.

"Well, outspoken, a little silly."

"Such talents are available, Zhichangzi."

Zhou Yiyun said unhappily: "Then I have to help him take the blame every day." He tapped his finger on the table and said, "But, the horse is well-raised." After speaking, he whispered to Liu Xu for a while.Liu Xu's eyes widened after hearing this: "Really?" Zhou Yiyun nodded, revealing a meaningful smile.

The fresh air in the morning refreshes the heart, making the catkins running along the narrow road in the morning feel comfortable and comfortable. In the village composed of hundreds of families, you can occasionally hear a few crowing roosters, and the smoke from the roof is curling up, and the smoke and fog are integrated. Together, hovering and floating, a humorous scene.Running to the edge of the reclaimed field, I saw an adult carrying a pair of farm tools on his shoulders, struggling to walk the ditches, and the little baby behind him, his face flushed, helping push with all his strength. Fake, this scene should be seen by the two young masters who are still sound asleep. The food they eat is cultivated with blood and sweat.As the sun rose slowly, Liu Xu jogged back to the courtyard, surrounded by four or five children chatting at the entrance of the courtyard: "You are the young master of a high official's family, I heard from my father that a high official lives here. .”

"The young master's clothes look really good, the best I've ever seen. Where did you come from? Is the official fierce? Can I always come to play with you in the future?"

Baobao straightened his chest: "Father is very nice, he is not fierce at all." After thinking for a while, he said: "I still want to lead the army with my father, and I will play with you when Baobao is free."

These little kids were very surprised when they heard it: "Wow, you are really good." "Is it riding a big horse to beat bad guys?" "My father said it was a general."

Listening to the praises, Baobao raised her head high and put her hands behind her back, enjoying their admiration.Liu Xu laughed out of her sorrow, and hugged her bag lightly: "My son found a playmate so quickly? It's really good."

"Bao Bao couldn't see his father when he got up in the morning, but he saw them when he went out to look for him." He pouted and expressed his dissatisfaction at being left behind.

Liu Xu nodded his mouth: "Take your little playmate into the courtyard, you are responsible for entertaining guests."

Until the figure of Liu Xu could not be seen, the little baby praised again.Baobao's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he asked Xiaoya to bring food and drink, and then took out his own little toys, really looking like a master of the house.Seeing Zhou Yiyun who was desperately about to sleep in the wing room last night, Liu Xu stepped forward and pinched the nose of the sleeping man, his breathing was blocked, and he stretched, Liu Xu let go, Zhou Yiyun was wronged: "Xu'er, next time we Can you tell your husband to get up in another way?"

"What time is it?" Liu Xu clasped her arms together, "Are you going to just talk about the heroic actions you talked about last night?"

Zhou Yiyun got up swiftly, and narrowed his bright eyes with a smile: "How could it be, I left for the barracks after breakfast for my husband." Then he took a nap and rushed to wash up.
