Traveling through a doctor's daughter to marry a virtuous man

Chapter 805 Goodbye Suddenly Like a Dream 9
As Jiang Rong guessed, the fact is indeed the case. Lian Guanlang and the others did not leave the Kingdom of Jin in a hurry after Daniel and the princess got married.

The year of the Jin Dynasty is different from that of the An Dynasty. Although they both fall on this day, the customs are much different.

In the year of the An Dynasty, every household closed their doors and lived their own lives, but it was not the case in the Kingdom of Jin. On the night of the first day of the new year, all the people left their homes, went to the open space, and set up a bonfire. Men and women Singing and dancing around the campfire.

However, the year of the Kingdom of Jin this year is different from the usual ones. Things like bonfires were originally done by men. Now, all the strong men in the common people's families have joined the army. Such things naturally fall on women. After a busy day, the women were all tired sitting in the open space. No matter how hot the bonfire was, there was no one who sang, and the dancers were all the little children. They looked very depressed.

"Or Prince E, you can see that this is the year that your people will celebrate." Even Guan Lang pointed at the old, young and young women sitting around the campfire, not to mention him, a foreigner, looked sad , Is it a year when the family is not reunited?
"You asked me to come out just to see these?" Maybe Prince E was surprised, this kind of picture is indeed different from the year he remembers, not to mention how lively it was in previous years, at that time, Jin Nazha was also the happiest, Singing and dancing around the bonfire, not to mention how lively it is.

Lian Guanlang glanced at Prince E, then bent down, sat on the grass with an old man, and asked softly, "Ah, it's Chinese New Year, why are you unhappy?"

"What are you happy about?" The old man sighed and shook his head, "The son is not here, and the grandson is not here. This family, just me and my daughter-in-law, what a year!"

"Your son and grandson are going to fight and protect the great interests of the Great Jin Kingdom. Tax, isn’t it good?” Lian Guanlang asked.

"What's so good! Just for a little tax, how many of us have no children? Although An Dynasty wants us to pay tribute every year, they protect our Jin Kingdom. If other countries bully us, An Dynasty can't help us." Us? We pay some protection fees to the An Dynasty every year in exchange for our people’s happy life. Why is it not good? For us people, this is a tax. However, as long as the weather is good, we will pay the tax From the beginning, as long as the family is together in peace, it will be fine. In the future, even if the battle is won, the relatives are gone, and the taxes are less paid, what is the use? Can the money be exchanged for the lives of the relatives? Poor grandson, who is only 16 years old, is engaged, and has not had time to get married! If he dies on the battlefield, our family will be ruined!"

The old man managed to find someone who could complain about his grievances. He was full of brains, and he could say whatever he wanted. Seeing that Lian Guanlang was still sent to the military camp at this age, he kept praising Lian Guanlang's good fortune. At home, he must Cherish, be filial to your family, spend more time with your wife and children.

The bonfire party, which was supposed to be an all-night carnival, broke up after more than two hours in the clear and cold. Even Guan Lang and Prince E returned to the palace and were directly taken to the study by Prince E.

"Strong man, what do you want to say to this king tonight?"

"At the beginning of the war, I remember my daughter-in-law once said to me that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The water refers to the people, and the boat refers to the king of a country. There is really a king who really cares about the people. Only then will the people sincerely support them." Lian Guanlang said calmly, "Although the current ruler of the Kingdom of Jin, on the surface, wants to make the people of the Kingdom of Jin pay less tax, but in fact, he is only eager to make contributions. The Lord is getting old, and he wants his name to be immortalized in the annals of the Kingdom of Jin, and he wants all the people to remember his merits for a lifetime. Therefore, he thought that after defeating the An Dynasty, with the guarantee of Emperor Anxian of Mocheng, the Kingdom of Jin would be immortal from now on. It’s not An Dynasty’s attachment to a small country, and there is no need to pay tribute to An Dynasty every year.”
