Chapter 1867 Keeping the Soul

I wish book friends a happy Lantern Festival! This year is going smoothly, all the best!

 …

"Those Halle people are watching out for us. They often send out scouts to spy on us, to see if Da Ming wants to attack aggressively."

Zhang Yu was drinking, Harlei was far away, Xinghebao was safe, and his life was much easier.

Zhong Ding took a piece of mutton and ate it, then took a sip of wine, frowning at the hotness.

"They were broken by Emperor Wen. Unless they found a big backer, how could they dare to provoke again?"

Zhong Ding said happily: "In the future, this will be Jiangnan outside the Great Wall! Master Zhang, this side will definitely expand its army in the future, and you will also be promoted at that time. Let's work together to make this place Jiangnan outside the Great Wall."

Zhang Yu sighed and said, "Nobody, what should I do? All I see every day are military households, captives, and those Tatars. Atai only wants to go to Beiping to live a peaceful life, and says he doesn't want to blow the wind outside the Great Wall any more. Without enough immigrants, who will own this place in the future?"

Zhong Ding smiled and said: "The last time I wrote to Xing Hebo to ask about this matter, he said that he wanted conditions, and the government would provide better conditions for the people who immigrated outside the Great Wall, and ensure that their lives outside the Great Wall are better than those inside the pass. many."

Zhang Yu said happily: "That's good, the life of immigrants will be easier, and our life will not be sad."

Zhong Ding nodded, touched the rough skin on his face, and said, "Time is rushing, you and I are getting old."

The two have worked hand in hand outside the Great Wall for many years, Zhong Ding's words evoked Zhang Yu's memories, he raised his glass and said, "I won't push what should come, I will get old when I get old, but every time I see that Grand Beijing Temple, I feel Thinking that I am still a kid, I can kill the enemy for another hundred years."

The two smiled at each other. At this time, someone outside was probably too drunk and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"...Hai Ri Sheng Remnant Night, Jiang Chun...Jiang Chun enters the old year, home! home! Where is home? Hahahaha!"

Zhong Ding put his face in his hands, then rubbed it vigorously, and said in a low voice, "Where is home?"

...

"where is home?"

Jiang Di stood in front of Jingguan and lowered his head slowly.

The long and narrow eyes on the Beijing Observation Stone looked at him quietly, with reddish pupils.

Standing beside him, Chen Bi was startled by this strange eye. He took a step back and said, "Jiang Di, there is something evil here, I think it's too cold. These eyes are even more evil. I heard that they are used by Xinghebo to suppress Jingguan..."

"Mom, I'm a little pig."

When Chen Bi saw Jiang Di kneeling in front of the Jingguan Stone, he couldn't help being startled, then he went over and grabbed his shoulder, and said anxiously, "Are you crazy?"

Jiang Di whispered: "These are my mother's eyes."

Chen Bi was terrified, he turned around and looked around, but there was no one.

"Are you stunned? What the hell? Get lost!"

"Mom, I'm here to see you."

Jiang Di looked at the long and narrow eyes, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I went to Jinling to pay homage to you, and I went with my father."

Chen Bi let go of his hand, took a step back, and said in a trembling voice, "You...you are Yanniang's son?"

"yes."

Jiang Di stroked the stele and said, "I was so stupid at that time. After I went to Jinling to worship my mother, I felt that I had grown up suddenly when I came back."

"My father never allowed me to mention my mother's affairs outside... I felt suffocated and panicked, so I followed here."

"Your mother is buried in Jinling, why don't you go there to worship?"

"It's very expensive to stay and eat there. Last time, my father saved a lot of money to go there once."

Jiang Di touched the stone tablet and said in a low voice: "Mother, Jinling is so expensive, can I come here to accompany you in the future? I'll be right here, visit you every day, and talk with you..."

"Father doesn't agree, saying that I'm stubborn, and you can follow me after I'm sixteen. Mom, I want to study well, and then you can see me every day."

Hearing the sound of sobbing, Chen Bi stepped back sadly, remembering that when classmates talked about family in the past, one said that his mother often made delicious food, and the other said that his mother would secretly give him money,

Only Jiang Di, he never talked about his mother.

"Mother, there is a younger brother in the family. They said that I will have children in the future. Mother, I don't know this, no one taught me..."

The immature Jiang Di whispered in front of the stele, while Chen Bi, who was two years older than him, slowly raised his head and looked at the bones that were exposed after being sealed with soil.

The setting sun left only half a circle on the horizon, and Jingguan gradually became gloomy.

That eye was watching, looking at Jiang Di.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Bi saw in a trance that those eyes became softer.

"Mother, they say that those who are not sacrificed are lonely ghosts, and they will slowly disperse in the future... Don't disperse, I will come to accompany you, and my children will also come to accompany you in the future..."

Jiang Di unwrapped the burden he had been carrying all the way, untied a few layers of homespun cloth, and took out an unfinished child's clothes from inside.

"Mother, these are the clothes you made for me, father gave them to me, and the jade pendant given by Xinghe uncle, if I can stay here, I will definitely be able to..."

...

"You open up wasteland and farm land as much as you like, and you can graze as you please. No tax will be collected, and no tax will be collected for ten years."

Outside a county government office in Shaanxi, a small official was shouting at the people gathered around him at the top of his lungs.

"It doesn't cost money to travel along the way. The government manages the food and housing. In the past, the farm cattle were distributed and houses were built for you. What are you waiting for?"

"It looks gray here, but I heard that there are grasslands everywhere, and a few sheep can support a family. I don't want to go now, but I said to the court, because some places outside the Great Wall are not suitable for farming, and so on. When it’s full, you have to go elsewhere.”

The little official said that his throat was hot, he took the bowl from his colleague, raised his head and drank the water, and then wiped his mouth comfortably.

An old man below suddenly asked: "My lord, where is the other place?"

The little official was stunned, he didn't know where it was, so he made nonsense: "Nuer Gandusi, you have to pee with a stick in winter over there, and there is Myanmar, where the mosquitoes are as big as our heads, do you want to go? "

The old man shook his head like a rattle and said: "Then you can't die if you get bitten? Don't go, sir, what are you doing with a stick when you pee?"

The little official showed off proudly: "It's terribly cold over there, and the urine that spills out will freeze immediately. You have to break it with a stick, or you'll just wait for the guy to be frozen into a stick!"

The old man thought for a while, and then asked: "Sir, if the whole family goes there, it will be winter over there, and there will be no food to eat!"

The little official snorted lightly, and said contemptuously: "It is said that the government is in charge all the way, and will distribute rations when you get there, until the grain you planted is harvested, or the sheep you raised grow up, do you understand?" Understand? It’s all under the government’s control!”

The old man nodded and said: "Your Majesty is a good emperor, he keeps his word. The young man will go home immediately and ask some of his sons. If he wants to go, he should go early, lest all the good land be robbed."

The old man squeezed out of the crowd and hurried towards the city gate.

The little official jumped down the steps and said, "Let's all go back. Those who are willing to sign up can come here to register. Once registered, go home and pack your things. When the time comes, read the notice and wait to set off together."

The crowd gradually began to disperse, leaving more than a dozen people behind. Seeing this, the clerk said calmly, "You can still have a good meal before you leave."

A man in tattered clothes sniffed and said, "I'm afraid that everything in my house can only be used as a delicious meal. If I stay here, I'm half dead. Go!"

It would be easier if someone took the lead. With the mentality of following the crowd, only one of the ten or so people did not come to register.

After these people go home to pack their things, it will definitely affect many people, and by then...

After registration, the petty official went to the back door of the county office. As soon as he went out, he saw the old man who talked the most before waiting, so he took out a handful of copper coins and counted them carefully.

"I've been hoarse after shouting for a long time, so I will keep ten copper coins, and the rest will be your reward from the adults. Count it yourself."

Holding the copper coins in both hands, the old man squatted on the ground and counted three times in a row, then put the copper coins into a cloth purse, stood up and smiled and said, "My lord, I can bring you a few more times. "

Seeing that he was deducted ten copper coins, the little official didn't say a word, so he thought for a while and said, "Remember to wipe your face next time you come here."

The old man happily went away, and when he was far away, he said to himself: "A few more times, I will take the boss to the outside of the Great Wall, and give all these copper coins to the second son who stayed at home..."
