I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 803 Taxation
Yang Xi and his party needed to stay in an inn in the county seat, and the owner of the inn returned to his hometown. Because the north was still in depression, the inn did not pay much attention to maintenance.

Not to mention that the inn is dilapidated, the bedding is a little yellow, giving the impression that it has not been washed for a long time.

Yang Xi took a look around in the upper room, and he could barely see the upper-class room. Yang Xi hated the trouble of changing all his supplies, so he might as well live in a carriage for comfort and trouble.

The owner of the inn regretted it to the point of death. If he knew it earlier, he would have done a good job of decorating it. Now it is useless to regret it.

Ye Shun didn't want Yang Xi and his wife to suffer along with him, so he arranged for people to buy supplies for the sacrifice, and returned to the village early the next morning to worship the ancestors, and the group left the county before noon.

When Ye Shun's father chased him to the county seat, the team had already walked ten miles away, and Ye Shun's father was crying, his glory and wealth were gone.

Today when Ye Shun offered sacrifices to his ancestors, the clan heard that Ye Shun said that he became an earl and would honor his ancestors in the future. Only then did the Ye family know that there was smoke from the ancestral grave.

Ye Shun's father and brothers only had wealth and honor in their eyes. Greed overcame fear, but it was a pity that it was still a step too late.

Ye Shun's father couldn't bear the stimulation and passed out. When he woke up, he saw that it was a straw shed, and hurriedly sat up and touched the purse in his arms, but there was no purse there.

Old man Ye didn't come up in one breath, no matter how much he had, he was also Ye Shun's father, his son gave him a bag of silver when he left, but now it's all gone, the old man regrets, regrets that he favored the eldest son and the youngest son.

It's a pity that it's useless for the old man to regret, the most filial child was injured and gone, and now only the selfish child is left by his side.

Ye Shun went back to his hometown to untie the knot in his heart, and he smiled more.

Yang Xi secretly said to Zhou Yu, "Ye Shun must have dreamed of going back to his hometown."

Whoever was treated like this by his parents would go back and slap him in the face if he wanted to be famous, and Ye Shun's resentment was completely calmed down by the Ye family's regretful appearance.

The team didn't move fast all the way, and when they arrived in Bozhou, Yang Xi and his wife sighed a lot.

The spring plowing in the north is not optimistic. In the era of only manpower farming, manpower decided to cultivate the land. Many fields in the northern states were abandoned. Even if people moved to the north, they still did not get much relief.

Because manpower is limited, a family can't work hard enough to cultivate many fields. Now as long as children who can walk are laborers, children who can't do heavy work have to pull weeds all over the ground.

Yang Xi saw many people working in the fields with three or four-year-old children, and the children worked very seriously when they were young.

When the team arrived in Bozhou, Bozhou was even more desolate. Although it was a prosperous state, it was ravaged several times, and the population dropped the most.

Even if a lot of people moved into Bozhou, it is a pity that Bozhou is still a drop in the bucket.

When Yang Xi saw the wasteland, his heart ached. These wastelands were formerly high-quality fertile land. Yang Xi suddenly said: "I heard that many of the refugees who fled to the island wanted to return to the north."

Zhou Yu handed his daughter-in-law a bowl of pear ointment water, "Although the island is developing well, they still want to go back to their hometown."

He knew what Xixuan was thinking, and he managed to develop the island well. He was reluctant to let the people go back to the north, but the people had already petitioned, so Xixuan could only send a boat to escort them.

Yang Xi sips pear water. The islands have been built very well in recent years. The few islands that are not naval bases have now become supply islands for merchant ships. Even if they only farm, the common people have saved a lot of money.

However, no matter how good the island is, it is neither hometown nor roots.

When the team arrived at Fucheng, Qin Bing and his wife went to pick them up at the gate of the city. The couple returned to Bozhou and lost a lot of weight. Qin Bing's eyes were blue, which showed that he hadn't slept well after returning.

Many people in the city paid attention to the Qin family. When the Qin family was wiped out, everyone in Bozhou sighed. Who would have thought that a son of the Qin family would escape and return home as an earl.

Yang Xi and his party arrived at the house where Qin Bing lived. Qin Bing explained: "The ancestral house at home has piled up the bones of the ancestors. I don't want my ancestors to disturb my ancestors. I have always lived in the house rewarded by the emperor."

Yang Xi looked at the house, the house was simply repaired, because Qin Bing and his wife had no energy, the house was not well furnished, and the whole garden was extremely desolate.

Seeing everyone looking at the garden, Geng Liao explained aloud: "I just asked my servants to clean up the garden, and the ordered trees haven't been delivered yet."

The mansion bestowed by the emperor was too big, with more than a dozen courtyards in various places, including various landscapes and artificial lakes, this mansion was not the emperor's compensation for them, and they would not be able to buy it at all.

The yard where Yang Xi and his wife lived had already been cleaned up, and the two of them didn't need to rest. Zhou Yu pulled Qin Bing to ask, "Have the affairs of the Qin family been dealt with?"

Qin Bing's nose is sore, and now he wants to cry when he mentions it. He stood up and was about to kneel down to Ye Shun, "I knew from the letter that my ancestors were disturbed, and I didn't see it with my own eyes. The intact tomb feels like my heart has been cut by a knife, without Brother Ye's help back then, the souls of our Qin family would not be able to rest in peace."

Ye Shun hurriedly reached out to help Qin Bing and his wife, "If you want to thank, thank the emperor. I can't afford your big gift. Hey, you have to look forward. You have sons and daughters now, and the ancestors of the Qin family can do it too." rest in peace."

Not only can the family continue, but all the properties of the Qin family have also been returned. The emperor really appreciates his kindness.

Qin Bing was still wiping away his tears. He had cried so many times these days. Not only was the ancestral grave dug up by King Jiang, but all bandits who passed by would have to dig it up, as if he wanted to squeeze coins out of his bones.

Qin Bing was even more sad when he thought of this. The coffins were made of good wood, but there was nothing left. Many coffins were burned as wood!
God knows how he survived when he saw the ancestral grave being destroyed.

Yang Xi looked at Geng Liao and wiped away tears, and handed the handkerchief to Geng Liao, "I remember the Geng family went back to their ancestral home, have you ever gone back?"

Geng Liao shook his head, "I didn't go back, the people from my ancestral home came to find me, and they invited us and my wife to go back."

After hearing this, Yang Xi asked, "Is there anyone else alive in the Geng family?"

Geng Liao nodded, "Yes."

Seeing that Geng Liao didn't want to say more, Yang Xi didn't ask any more questions. From Geng Liao's expression, he could tell that he was unhappy with the Geng family members.

Yang Xi changed the words, "How is your brother?"

Geng Liao thought of his younger brother's face with a smile, "He is an unyielding character. The emperor sent them to the north. They fought hard to get a good comment. When I saw him last time, I almost didn't recognize him. He was unshaven. The image of a rough guy."

There was a smile on the corner of Yang Xi's mouth. Brother Geng Liao was very proud, because Geng Liao's direct uncle was not good enough. Brother Geng Liao worked hard to study for the Geng clan, and the young man wanted to win the reputation of the Geng clan!
Qin Bing has already talked about the property of the Qin family, "The property is too rich, just repairing the house is a lot of money, I want to sell some unimportant property, but there are many people who want to buy it, but the price is very low. "

Bozhou is very sluggish now, and now he buys it just to take advantage of it, and he doesn't want to sell the property at a low price.

Qin Bing looked at Brother Zhou, "I heard that the court is clarifying taxes?"
