Chapter 1755

General Liang also said excitedly: "Mrs. Gao's strategy is very good. I ask Ban Shilang to facilitate the relocation. The northwest can no longer be empty. There must be people, otherwise there will be no source of troops in a few years!"

Ban Shilang nodded: "Don't worry, General Liang, I will write the memorial tonight, and I will send the memorial to the capital as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow!"

He didn't eat the banquet anymore, and took Zhifu Hao and General Liang to ask them about the relocation of the people in the northwest, the lack of people, and the abandonment of land.

It is better to write a memorial if you ask clearly.

General Liang and the others had no choice but to talk to the waiter about the situation on an empty stomach, and they talked for an hour.

Ban Shilang was afraid of forgetting, so he wrote down everything they said, and said after finishing the matter: "I will go back to the room first and organize these, so as not to delay the delivery of the memorial tomorrow, everyone, take it easy."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Zhifu Hao and the others were already extremely hungry, so they hurried to eat after hearing this.

But the food on the table was already cold, and they were all vegetarian dishes, so there was nothing delicious, and after filling their stomachs, everyone dispersed.

……

When Qin Sanlang returned to Lei's other courtyard, washed up and went to bed, Gu Jinli had already woken up after a nap.

Smelling the scent of soapwood after his bath, he said with a smile: "What good food did you guys eat? This reception feast will last longer than the cleansing banquet a few days ago. Could it be that there are beauties serving you?"

Qin Sanlang hugged her tightly and kissed her chattering mouth: "I will be vegetarian tonight, no wine, no meat, no beauties."

He doesn't want any beauties.

Gu Jinli smiled: "I'm just kidding you. Not long after you left, the patrolling yamen servants beat the gong to inform everyone that there will be a sacrifice tomorrow to pay homage to the dead soldiers. I guess you must be vegetarians, after all, there is a servant of the Ministry of Rites. "

The Ministry of Rites is the most important rule.

He asked again: "Will Ban Shilang want to stay in the Northwest forever? How is he? But he is as kind as he showed during the day?"

If a high-ranking official from the third rank will stay in the northwest for a long time, he had better be a good one, otherwise everyone will suffer.

Qin Sanlang talked about the events at the reception banquet and Ban Shilang's family: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu. Ban Shilang doesn't show his background. He is a person who has endured hardships and really read the books of sages. He stays in the northwest and treats everyone well." There are benefits."

Gu Jinli felt relieved: "That's good."

Thinking that the yamen will hold a sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, he said: "Sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."

Qin Sanlang nodded, said yes, leaned over and kissed her, wrapped his arms around her waist, but felt that it was not enough, touched her silk clothes, and stroked her back.

Gu Jinli's back felt numb, he twisted his body, and pinched his waist in dissatisfaction: "Don't make trouble, sleep!"

Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, Qin Sanlang won't make trouble with her, but when his palm touches her, he can't help it... His arm is still on her waist, but his palm is closed into a fist. After enduring it for a while, he finally calmed down, Looking at Gu Jinli who had closed his eyes, he smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, good night."

After saying that, he let go of his fist, clasped her waist, and pulled her closer to him.

Gu Jinli moved his body, but did not get angry, and fell asleep in his arms.

Qin Sanlang smiled: "Xiaoyu is so good."

The voice was as gentle as the night wind, wrapping around her, making Gu Jinli blush, and said angrily, "You talk too much, go to bed quickly, or you will be disrespectful if you wake up late tomorrow."

After hearing this, Qin Sanlang stopped making trouble, hugged her and fell asleep.

……

Boom boom boom!
As soon as Maoshi arrived the next day, there was an orderly beating of drums in the government office.

Then, drums sounded from the towers on all sides, thump, thud, dull and solemn.

Everyone who heard the sound of the drum got up, the man in charge prepared the things for the road sacrifice, and the woman in charge took out a white cloth and hung it on the door.

Poor families who cannot afford white cloth will hang sackcloth by the door.

Lei's other courtyards were also busy. Gao Lei sent white cloths to each courtyard, and asked the big guys to cut them and tie them around their waists.

The hundred households like Qin Sanlang who were going to participate in the ceremony took a bath, changed into sackcloth, tied white cloth, drank a bowl of cold water, gathered in the front yard, and prepared to go to the main gate of the city.

"Four golds, five golds, six golds, follow your father closely, don't run around. When you see your father kneeling, kneel down, cry when you can, if you can't cry, you can't laugh, anyone who dares to laugh will be beaten!" Kuang explained to the Jins who were going to attend the ceremony.

The relatives of other soldiers and soldiers also told their children to follow Qin Sanlang and the others, don't run around, don't laugh!

"Mother, don't worry, Mrs. Gao taught us yesterday, we understand, we can only cry, we can't laugh." A group of little guys assured us with pats on their hearts.

Mrs. Gao said that many of the soldiers who died in the battle were poor people whose sons were not in the northwest, or who were not married. Filial piety, to comfort the heroic spirit, with the affection of the whole robe.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Zhang Tu knocked on the gong and shouted: "Young gentlemen, hurry up and line up, we are leaving."

Lin Erying was young, touched her belly, and said aggrievedly: "I'm so hungry, can I go after breakfast?"

"No, today is the sacrificial ceremony. Before the sacrificial ceremony is over, you can only drink water, and you can only eat cold food after the ceremony." Zhang Tu coaxed a group of little guys: "Young gentlemen, bear with it, and I will give you candy and meat in three days. "

"Ah, it won't be posted until three days later, can't it be posted tomorrow?"

With two slaps, the person who asked the question was slapped on the head twice by his father, and scolded: "Why are you so greedy? Hurry up and queue up, and keep babbling, don't talk about eating candy and meat in three days, I will eat it now." Let eat rattan fried meat!"

The little guy was beaten to the point of crying, and his father said, "Hey, that's it, keep crying."

Wow, the little guy felt that his father was laughing at him, and cried even harder.

With this cry, the other younger ones also cried, and when Qin Sanlang took the big guy out, there was a lot of crying in the team, which matched the sadness of today's ceremony.

Today's sacrificial ceremony was very grand. Except for the soldiers who brought their sons to participate, men from every household in the city wore white cloths and came to the main gate of the city.

Boom boom boom!
The big drum in the city kept ringing until after midnight before it stopped.

Maybe God was also sad for those soldiers who died in battle. It rained heavily that night and lasted all night until dawn.

The people were very happy to see that it was raining. There is less rain in the northwest, so one more rain will reduce the drought.

For the next three days, the whole city became a vegetarian.

Three days later, Ban Shilang and the others were about to leave and rushed to Long'an Mansion.

General Liang was very depressed, that carload of money was not distributed to them, and had to be taken to Long'an Mansion!
But he didn't dare to complain, and he had to appease the soldiers under his command, telling them to wait a little longer, General Xu would not forget them, and would definitely send back the military pay they deserved.

The soldiers of Xing'an Mansion are dying, but fortunately, the garrison camp of Xing'an Mansion has obtained [-] carts of supplies, including armor, swords, bows and crossbows, food, meat, vegetables, and medicinal materials, and the depression in their hearts is finally less.

Imperial Physician Shi and Imperial Physician Xiao Liu have been busy in the yard of the medicine store these days, and they would not want to leave if they hadn't been ordered by the emperor.

However, each of them got a booklet of pharmacology, three packs of anti-worm medicine, and the research letters of old doctor Xu and old doctor Fang over the past few days, which can be regarded as comfort.

Doctor Xiao Liu made an agreement with the two old doctors: "Let's communicate with each other every half a month to exchange research and development results... If the two old doctors have any new progress in the anti-worm medicine, I hope you will send a letter to inform me immediately. The younger generation is grateful." Endless."

After saying that, he gave a solemn salute to the two old doctors Xu Fang, which made the old doctor Xu feel more honored.

At noon the next day, Ban Shilang and the others set off to leave, and Zhifu Hao took all the government officials to see him off.

Qin Sanlang and the others also went to see him off. After all, there were people from the military department in the team, and these hundreds of households led the troops ten miles away before riding back to the city.
