I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Yang Xi's home in Shanghe Town has also changed a lot. The area of ​​the house has not been expanded, the house has been renovated, and a lot of scenery has been added.

On the first day they returned home, Yang Xi and his wife were surrounded by villagers. The children held flowers in their hands, and the faces of the adults were excited. Even Liu Lizheng was a little incoherent.

Who would have thought that the family who settled in Shanghe Village back then would become an emperor, and the Zhou family would also change their identity.

Liu Lizheng's mouth was trembling when he spoke, "Ai, ai yo, the old man really knew people with his eyes back then."

He can brag about it from generation to generation. At the beginning, Shanghe Village accepted foreigners to settle down.

The people around Liu Lizheng said flatteringly: "You always have the foresight."

Liu Lizheng has long been no longer Lizheng. He is the mayor of the town and has great power, but the villagers are still used to address him as Lizheng.

Now Zhou's house is like the must-check-in scene in Shanghe Town. The villagers come to check-in every day, and foreigners also come to Zhou's house, as if they are lucky.

Yang Xi and his wife rested at home for a few days, and the people in Shanghe Town returned to normal. The couple were relieved at the same time, and they were not used to being stared at all the time.

There are not many changes in the Zhou Family Academy, the only change is that the students have worked harder, and at the same time, they have become more arrogant. Who made one of their husbands a princess and the other a Lord Marquis.

This also caused more people to take the Zhou Family Academy, and they all wanted to have a teacher-student relationship with Yang Xi and his wife.

Yang Xi and his wife had expected it, and they decided to set up a new level in the Class A class. They will only teach students at this level, and it is not easy to pass the exam, at least one subject is top-notch.

To put it bluntly, these students are all talents engaged in research, and their minds are all on research and the pursuit of truth.

After the husband and wife arranged a school, the old Zhou family who had migrated to Ruizhou found the couple.

Not all the elders of the Zhou family came to Ruizhou, most of them stayed in the north to take care of the rest of the clan. Two clan elders came to Ruizhou. They said that the clan elders were actually young, less than 50 years old, just because their seniority was high enough.

The two found Zhou Yu, and the older Zhou Hai said first, "The Zhou family depends on Lord Hou for today's success, and the family can't help much. It's really a shame."

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Back when my father was in the capital, the tribe gave me a lot of help. I and the family complement each other, and my uncle said that I have a serious shame."

Zhou Hai regretted that Zhou Huai was gone, but Zhou Huai's branch was still glorious, "We have questions in our hearts, and we want to ask Lord Hou to answer us today."

Zhou Yu had a guess in his heart, "Please tell me, uncles of the two clans."

Zhou Hai cleared his throat, "Do you want to take root in Ruizhou?"

He was really nervous, the Zhou family had been separated a few years ago, and then slowly reunited, he was really afraid that the family would split up again.

From the perspective of interests, the Zhou family cannot do without Zhou Yu and his wife. From the perspective of the clan, no one wants the family to be divided.

Zhou Yu's tone was firm, "Only the Huizhou Zhou family."

Zhou Hai couldn't help grinning, "Okay, okay."

Zhou Yu also laughed. Not only because of his father's last wish, he also wanted to return to his ancestral home. Huizhou is the real root, and Shanghe Town in Ruizhou can only be regarded as his second hometown.

Zhou Hai can't wait to reply to the patriarch's letter now, but he has more important things to do, "You and the princess are back, and the clan wants to have a big event, so just take this opportunity to bring the clansmen in the south together."

Zhou Yu understood the clan uncle's thoughts, their husband and wife were enshrined, and it was a big happy event in the clan, "Okay."

Then he talked about this year's imperial examination. In the first year when the emperor proclaimed himself emperor, Enke needed many officials, which was also an opportunity for the Zhou family.

This is the advantage of people in the clan. The Zhou clan can get more information from Yang Xi and his wife, such as how many officials are needed in which part. Although the questions cannot be missed, it can also allow the clan members to study in a targeted manner. High judicial scores are preferred. etc.

At this time, outside the capital city, under the scorching summer, the young and middle-aged people are carrying stones with their arms bare. They are working under the scorching sun. The lips of the people are cracked. Still cooing.

The eyes of all the men are numb. They hope that God can save their lives, but unfortunately God cannot hear the prayers of the people.

The whip that broke the wind hit the person, the sound of wailing and cursing, the hot weather made people feel irritable, and the whip kept beating the old man until the old man who was hiding was silent.

This scene did not stimulate the numb laborers, they still moved the stone with difficulty.

They were not allowed to leave until night fell. No one prepared water for the people, only a few bags of wheat bran. If they wanted to eat, they had to collect firewood and fetch water by themselves.

Waiting for the throat-throwing wheat bran to enter the stomach, still did not relieve the hunger in the stomach, and could only fill more water to satisfy the hunger.

In the tent in the distance, meat was roasted on the bonfire, and the aroma of the meat wafted far away.

Among the people lying on the grass, someone finally spoke up, "When will General Yang call?"

After many years of troubled times, they knew that it was useless to pray to God, so they could only ask for someone who could save the world. A lot of news spread from the south to the north, and the people in the north also wanted to live a stable life in the south.

Another old man said, "I heard that General Yang's soldiers don't grab food, and that the people in the south can eat enough."

As soon as the words fell, the grass fell into silence again.

The man who spoke first spoke again, "It's all old news about you. My cousin sold himself to be a servant in a high official's house. I heard from my cousin that General Yang treated the people, distributed high-yield grain, and exempted a lot of taxes. .”

On the quiet grass, the lying men all turned over, trying to see who was speaking clearly, but they couldn't see their faces clearly in the dark night.

They've had enough of this world, they only have one wish left, to live and let their family live too.

Suddenly someone said, "Zhang Huang is about to conquer the capital. Instead of looking forward to General Yang, it is better to hope that Zhang Huang will take the capital back."

Another person muttered, "Didn't you say that General Yang unified the south and proclaimed himself emperor?"

All the men fell silent, at this moment they were envious of the people in the south.

Yang Xixuan's spy was lying on the grass with a piece of grass in his mouth, listening to the whispered discussions around him, he grinned, so what if Zhang Huang took the capital, if he couldn't provide the living standards of the southern people, the northern people would feel Despite the gap, the last hope is still for Emperor Yang to unify the world.

Zhang Min didn't know that Yang Xixuan had sent a lot of soldiers and spies to the capital. Zhang Min was staring at the map and wanted to take the capital, but in reality it was very difficult to succeed. Several attacks ended in failure.

Hu Lechi was short of food, and Zhang Min was also short of food. The protracted war was fighting for food and grass. Zhang Min did take Bozhou and Jiangzhou, but what he took was empty shells. gone.

Only the empty cities and the people are left to Zhang Min, not to mention food supplies, Zhang Min has to distribute food and grass to appease the people in the two prefectures.
