It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 270 270. The Past of Licheng
When Xiao Yue talked about the little daughter of the Yuan family, it was not on a whim.

The main reason is that the life experience of the orphan of the Yuan family often reminded him of Xiang'er. Now Xiang'er and Nanheng have a good understanding of each other, and they are in love with each other. They are just waiting for the time to get married.

On the contrary, the experience of the orphan daughter of the Yuan family was even more difficult. No matter what Xianger said, she was loved by her parents, but the youngest daughter of the Yuan family was not loved by her relatives.

Xiao Yue sighed, every time he saw the little daughter of the Yuan family, he would try his best to help her, the little girl was high-minded and unwilling to accept other people's sympathy and alms, he probably asked her to do some odd jobs, and then gave her clothes and so on.

When Ji Shaoyuan heard this, he became interested, "How does her parents treat her?"

"In the past, I thought it was her parents who died young, but after careful investigation, I found out that due to various reasons, her parents have a new family with each other, and no one is willing to raise her."

When Xiao Yue talked about this matter, his heart was all heavy.

Such irresponsible parents always reminded him of Bo Keshan.

Bo Keshan also didn't like him, his mother, oh, poor girl, don't mention it.

Ji Shaoyuan frowned, "The little girl is too unlucky, why did she end up with such irresponsible parents?"

Not all parents are loving and gentle, and some parents are cold-hearted and show no mercy to their children.

The experience of the young daughter of the Yuan family is also the same.

"Because of this, I often ask Lao Hou to visit him. The two of us are old acquaintances, and we can talk freely."

Xiao Yue understands that when a high-ranking person like him communicates with the young daughter of the Yuan family, the young daughter of the Yuan family feels alienated and unfamiliar in her heart, so she is unlikely to tell the truth, so it is better to send Steward Hou to communicate, but the two are equal in status. We can chat.

Ji Shaoyuan nodded, "Old Hou is also the appearance of an elder that children are more likely to believe in. It is indeed very convenient for the girl from the Yuan family to talk to him."

After talking for so long, Ji Shaoyuan didn't even know the other party's name.

So he asked Xiao Yue, "Does this child have a name?"

"Never." Xiao Yue became even more angry when he said this, "It is said that the girl does not need to be named, just call her Da Ya."

What about girls?Don't you deserve to have a name dignifiedly?

Ji Shaoyuan also became angry, "What about girls? They can still stand up to five men."

She does not believe in the absurd saying that women are inferior to men, she is very happy to be born a woman, she is not inferior or proud, she has her own happiness and worries, and she can do many things, which is far beyond what men can imagine.

Women have the delicacy and sincerity of women, and they are stronger and more tolerant than others think. Why do men erase everything about women in a few words?

"That little girl, when I open the school, I will let her go to study. She is able to read and read, and she has extraordinary courage and confidence to face all storms."

Ji Shaoyuan smiled.

Originally, opening a school was just an idea, but after hearing about the experience of the little daughter of the Yuan family, she felt that opening a school would benefit the country and the people.

— especially those women who have been deprived of all rights from birth, need to read and write more than men.

Thinking of this, Ji Shaoyuan clenched his fists.

Xiao Yue suggested, "You and I discussed together the school's rules and regulations. The admission requirements are mainly for children from poor families who cannot afford to go to school, especially girls. It is better for boys and girls to study separately. At this stage, men and women are in contact with each other. , easily lead to gossip."

Eloquent and eloquent, well-founded, Ji Shaoyuan took it seriously, "Children from rich families do not worry about having books to read, but for children with cash-strapped money, it is equivalent to a ladder to the top. I am willing to be their guide. "

There was never a moment when Ji Shaoyuan had such a strong belief in his heart.

If it is said that the rebirth of the first life is for revenge and repayment, then she must do something within her capacity on this basis.

That's right, she is luckier than most people in the world, having a pair of parents who really love her and a husband who treats her sincerely, but looking at Daxing, and even Nanqi Xixia and other places, are there so many women as lucky as her?

The answer is rather questionable, it is impossible.

She is not the master of Qingtian or Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, and she doesn't have that much compassion, but she is willing to do something to help, so she is doing her best.

Xiao Yue smiled, "Yuan'er is really smart and kind-hearted. I have thanked the princess for those children."

In business affairs, there should be no less courtesy.

Seeing this, Ji Shaoyuan jokingly said, "You thank me, then how are you going to repay me?"

"Serve the king attentively, dare not disobey."

Xiao Yue replied.

"..." Ji Shaoyuan died, she was digging a hole for herself.

Ziyan Biyue was delighted to hear this scene, and when she came to the northern border, if Her Royal Highness and the son-in-law had trouble, it would be quite difficult.

……

After Xiao Yue accompanied Ji Shaoyuan to finish the meal, they went to the study together to talk about the situation of Licheng and nearby cities.

"According to my investigations over the years, people in Licheng often commit infanticide, especially female infants."

With a heavy heart, Xiao Yue put an account book in front of Ji Shaoyuan.Ji Shaoyuan turned around and found that Licheng's annual tax revenue was the lowest in Daxing, and the number of drowned babies was also among the top few in Daxing.

Faced with such a situation, Ji Shaoyuan said solemnly: "Infant drowning among the people continues. In the final analysis, it is poverty. The laws and taxes designated by the imperial court are too strict, and the people in Licheng can't afford it. They have to cruelly choose to drown infants. Being killed is actually because there are more men than women among the people, which widens the gap between the rich and the poor, and they can't afford the expensive dowry."

Pingjing is at the foot of the imperial city, and infanticide is unavoidable, let alone a border city like Licheng.

Even though Licheng looks like a tough folk, with lax rules, there should not be too serious patriarchal behavior, but in fact, Licheng cannot develop, wars happen frequently, and the government tax is definitely not a burden that the people can afford In desperation, infanticide has become a way for the common people to evade taxes.

Babies are frequently drowned. Although there is a deep-rooted thought that men are superior to women, but after careful consideration, the people of Licheng are still too poor.

In poor mountains and bad waters, eating has become a long-standing problem.

"Although I have intervened in these years, the lives of the people in Licheng have become better, but it is only a little bit. Licheng is short of resources and wars continue. If it is not close to the tribes in the north, Licheng would not be under the jurisdiction of the court."

It was also Licheng's experience, which further contributed to Xiao Yue's frustration.

When Ji Shaoyuan heard this, he didn't take it seriously, "It's impossible to have nothing in poor mountains and bad waters. You know, Licheng was not a thatched house at first, and there were not many roads to walk. Without you, Licheng would not be what it is today. The method is thought up by people, and a short-term charity and sympathy will not be able to beat them at all. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them to fish. All this depends on the efforts of the people of Licheng."

"Some things cannot be achieved through hard work."

Xiao Yue pointed out something, "I spent a lot of effort and tried my best to persuade them to follow me, and then I got rid of the old customs step by step. But this is only the first step."

As an official of the imperial court, it is their duty to ask for orders for the people. Since he came to Licheng, he has been working hard, investigating Licheng, visiting people's feelings, and prescribing the right medicine. He also tried to solve it.

However, the effect is obvious to all.

Ji Shaoyuan smiled calmly, "Efforts may not necessarily lead to success, but if you don't work hard, you will find yourself dead. How will you know if you succeed or fail if you don't try? Doing things sometimes doesn't necessarily require results. It's just a process, or as a reference for experience, that's what we meaning."

No matter how difficult the issue of Licheng is, it will definitely not be more difficult than unifying the world anyway.

Furthermore, Li City is equivalent to Xiao Yue's territory, what does he want to do, can the common people still refuse to follow?

When Xiao Yue heard this, he smiled wryly after a long time, "Yes, I have a clear conscience, but I want to work hard. If I try hard, I'm afraid that they will remain the same. Then, as a great general, wouldn't it be useless for me?"

He blamed himself for not being able to help the people of Licheng.

Ji Shaoyuan patted Xiao Yue's shoulder, his eyes were gentle, "A husband and wife are united, and their benefits can cut through gold. There are indeed many problems in Licheng, and they are difficult to solve. We can take our time. The most urgent thing is Chu Lan's remnants, we have to pick the time One or two solved."

To fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled first. If Chu Lan and those people are not resolved, the development of Licheng will not be easy?

"Yes, I have the latest news about Chu Lan. They are planning to attack Licheng three days later in the evening, and they are going to give us a big blow."

Chu Lan was ready to intercept and kill Xiao Yue, and Xiao Yue was also ready to wipe out Chu Lan's remnants.

Ji Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows, "Evening three days later? So soon?"

Cars and horses were exhausted, rushing all the way, Ji Shaoyuan and Xiao Yue's group estimated that the location of Licheng would not be hot, so they simply took a blow and were harassed by the enemy to attack the city.

Xiao Yue showed a meaningful smile at this time, "It was Liao Changfeng who told Chu Lan that Licheng was empty of soldiers and horses, and the defense was less than 3000 people. Once Licheng is captured, Daxing's morale must be dealt a blow."

No matter how poor Licheng is, it is still the city of Daxing, not to mention the symbolic meaning of Licheng.

Ji Shaoyuan had an epiphany, "Since Liao Changfeng suggested it, Chu Lan believed it."

Before Xiao Yue sent Liao Changfeng to ambush Chu Lan, it should be said that it has achieved some results so far.

Chu Lan is conceited and arrogant, and is 12 wary of Xiao Yue, but thinks that Xiao Yue is not as good as him. Liao Changfeng used his mentality to successfully gain the trust of Mr. Chu Lan.

Liao Changfeng blew himself up that he had worked for Junran before, and Junran treated her kindly before, but Xiao Yueji Shaoyuan was cruel and dealt with Junran, and Junran died unexpectedly.

They have a common enemy. She stayed with Xiao Yue for a while and knew him very well.Therefore, Liao Changfeng, the eyeliner, with the title of being the most familiar with Xiao Yue, infiltrated into Chu Lan's confidant area.

Ji Shaoyuan was deeply moved, "Liao Changfeng has changed."

After having nothing, Liao Changfeng is cuter than the domineering Miss Liao Wu before.

Xiao Yue looked at Ji Shaoyuan, "I'm going to catch a turtle in an urn."
