I was a famous teacher in ancient times

The next day, Ziheng was preparing to have breakfast when the soldiers came back from checking the surroundings. The soldiers did not carry a snake in their hands, but a bundle.

The soldier reported, "There are traces of life in the village three miles away, and the traces were found half a month ago."

Ziheng was not surprised. Now that the war is raging in the north, it is normal for people to flee to Huizhou, but he pays more attention to the materials used for the bags. "Silk and satin?"

This is not something ordinary people can afford.

The soldier opened the bag, and inside the bag were some jewelry and silver coins that he had not taken away. There were several large strings of copper coins, and the soldier didn't even let the inkstone go.

Ziheng stretched out his hand to pick up the inkstone, "I can read and write, the people who escaped are not ordinary people, can you find other traces?"

The soldier replied, "It can be seen that he left in a hurry, and he probably encountered some danger. The villain checked the surroundings and found no trace of any corpse."

Ziheng twitched his lips, Huizhou is going to become a place where wild animals live, wild wolves and other beasts are everywhere, don’t even think about surviving in Huizhou without guards, if you really encounter wolves, let alone corpses, no bones will be left for you Down.

Ziheng said to the investigating soldiers: "The property you found, you should divide it."

The soldiers were very happy. It was the generals who led the soldiers who really made a fortune in troubled times, not the low-level soldiers like them. There were too many soldiers and it was difficult to get a lot of money, and even if they got it, they dared not hide it.

Ziheng didn't care who lived nearby. He had breakfast and took a sickle to open the road until the afternoon. The ancestral tomb was so desolate that he could only clean it up after the funeral tomorrow.

Ziheng lived in the ancestral land for three days before he tidied up the ancestral grave. In order not to attract attention, he did not cut down the nearby saplings.

The night before Ziheng left, he had a dream. In the dream, he saw many people smiling happily, as if he had honored his ancestors. Ziheng thought it was right to come back to pay homage.

However, the news of Ziheng's arrival in the north still spread, but unfortunately Ziheng disappeared after a few appearances in Jizhou.

Only when Yang Xi and his wife received Ziheng's letter did they know that their son had gone to Jizhou.

Yang Xi was a little anxious, "This kid is really brave."

Zhou Yu was very steady, "The child has grown up, we can't control it anymore."

Yang Xi, "The idea is too big."

Zhou Yu read his son's letter twice, comforted by his son's courage, but also very helpless, "This kid's wings are stiff, forget it, don't be angry, Zhang Min and Hu Lechi are dead, Yizhou very safe."

Yang Xi wrote a letter to his son, and his mother was worried when he traveled thousands of miles, let alone went to the north full of enemies.

Zhou Yu made a few final additions before sending someone to send the letter to Jiaozhou.

Zhou Yu waited for his daughter-in-law to calm down before talking about other things, "Zhao Jiang was injured, and he is coming to Shanghe Town to recuperate."

Yang Xi, "He is really stable. This time, he pulled out the spies from Jinzhou in one fell swoop, and it can be regarded as revenge for his wife."

Zhou Yu sighed, "He has been refraining from fishing, and finally he caught the net, but unfortunately he was still injured."

Yang Xi, "Will he continue to be the prefect of Jinzhou?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "I see Zhao Jiang's hint that he will be transferred this time, but I don't know which department he will be transferred to."

Seeing that the hot water was ready, Yang Xi prepared to make a pot of tea, "The girl from the Geng family that Ye Shun brought back, I heard from Geng Liao that Ye Shun proposed marriage for Qiming."

Zhou Yu chuckled, "This is a happy event. I have heard Ye Shun say that the girl from the Geng family is pretty."

Yang Xi, "Qiming can be regarded as a big problem. Now my father is not only back, but also brought him a daughter-in-law he likes."

Back in Shanghe Town, Geng Liao took Geng Ningxi to visit several times, and Yang Xi had a good impression of Geng Ningxi.

Zhou Yu laughed and sighed, "I thought Zhou Lin would have a follow-up, but in the end, Xixuan opened the Enke, and that Ji girl was thinking about the imperial examination all her heart."

Yang Xi also felt a little regretful, Ji Ran had a good feeling for Zhou Lin, and even made a chance encounter, but unfortunately there was no follow-up, "Take your time."

She is already Buddha to Zhou Lin's marriage.

The Zhou Lin mentioned by the couple was in Ezhou at this time. He was in charge of the reform of military households. Only women and old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers were left in the military households in Ezhou.

Everywhere Zhou Lin went, there would be women asking when the soldiers who had been brought to the Northland would come back.

There are many people who are reasonable, but there are also some who have gone to extremes. No, Zhou Lin just sent the relief food to this old couple. The old woman who was smiling suddenly slashed at Zhou Lin with a knife.

Zhou Lin was an adult, and it was easy to avoid it after many years of martial arts practice. When the soldiers subdued the old woman, the old woman muttered that she would never see her son again, and the only son left would never see her again.

There were many people who heard the sound, and many people gathered around the door, and many women secretly wiped their tears.

Compared with the people in Ezhou who are slowly returning to normal, the military households are still in grief.

Zhou Lin sighed and signaled the soldiers to let go of the woman. He had a deep memory of this family. The couple seemed to be very old, but in fact they were only in their early 40s. They had three sons. No more, and the last youngest son, who was only sixteen, was also taken away.

The pain of successive bereavements made the couple grow old rapidly. The only thing they thought about was the youngest son, but the youngest son was taken to the north.

Zhou Lin walked out of the courtyard silently. Compared with the common people, the military households were even more miserable. The laborers recruited from the common people returned home after being rescued, and the recruited soldiers rarely took them to the north, and the military households obeyed orders even more. The value of all military households.

In a gathering place of military households, there are only a dozen or so men who are adults, most of them are elderly, only a few younger ones are still disabled, and young boys are rare. Zhou Lin heard that some military households strangled to death baby boy.

Zhou Lin's heart was heavy. He heard the footsteps following him, turned his head to look at the women, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, military households will not be forced to recruit soldiers in the future. Military households have been reformed, and your future is no longer gloomy and hopeless." .”

After a pause, he continued: "In two days, the districts will be re-divided, and schools will be built in each district. As long as they are old enough, regardless of gender, they can enroll."

As soon as the news came out, the women's eyes widened. They were indeed better off when Emperor Yang conquered Ezhou, but they were still fighting. Their sons would still go to the battlefield when they grew up, and they were afraid.

They don't know much about the reform of military households these days, but they know the significance of going to school, but the women have encountered difficulties again, and life at home is still difficult.

Zhou Lin saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, "Don't worry, everyone, the military fields have all been planted with food, and the re-divided military fields are yours. All the fields are tax-free this year, and the grain harvested in autumn is yours. , the first year of admission is exempt from coursework."

Only the military households have the policy of exempting from repairs, and the common people in Ezhou cannot enjoy it. In the final analysis, the military households are indeed miserable.

Zhou Lin was busy until night before he rode back to the capital city of Ezhou. Zhou Lin was a bit overworked today, feeling that he was still short of manpower.
I plan to chat with the prefect tomorrow and recruit some people to come on top.
