Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 133
Only Feng Yao, Mrs. Feng and Gong Yinglian were left in the room. After the three of them knelt in a circle around the table, Feng Yao said, "Now the population of Pingyu City has increased sharply, and there are more soldiers stationed in the city. , the city is already too small. I want to expand Pingyu City. In the future, as the prefect of a county, we must settle in the city. This cave will definitely be deserted, but I don’t want it to become like this! So I plan to Expand Pingyu City to the north, enclose this place in the city, and then build a large courtyard here, and build barracks, academies, medical centers, etc. nearby!"

Feng Yao's words made the two people's eyes shine brightly, especially their mother Mrs. Feng, who asked in surprise: "Yao'er, do you really want to enclose this place in the city?"

Gong Yinglian also seemed to have something to say, but seeing that Mrs. Feng had already spoken, she smiled and nodded, expressing the same question.

"Of course, otherwise, why would I say this here first, instead of talking to my generals!" Feng Yao smiled.

Madam Feng nodded repeatedly, looked at Gong Yinglian, and the two looked at each other with a smile, Madam Feng understood that Gong Yinglian had the same idea, and said happily: "Yaoer, it's great that you have this idea, my mother likes this place very much, and according to the Art of War In other words, those who are connected to the shape first live in Gaoyang, benefiting from food and roads, and benefiting from war. Pingyu City is surrounded by Yingshui, and Taolinju is higher than Pingyu City. The taller is respected as Yang, and Yingshui can or cannot It is convenient to transport grain and grass, but if the current Pingyu City is besieged, it is easy to cut off the grain and water in the city. The strategy is great! Yao'er, it seems that you really work hard at ordinary times, and you have already mastered the art of war of our grandson of the Feng family very thoroughly!"

Feng Yao felt ashamed. Although he had seen Sun Tzu's Art of War a few times, he was too busy since the attack on Runan, so he never cared about it. Moreover, the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" with his ancestors' annotations was still stored in the In Ruyin City, I didn’t bring it with me. The idea of ​​expanding Pingyu City was only after considering various factors. I thought it needed such a transformation, but I didn’t expect it to coincide with the Art of War!
However, Feng Yao did not admit or deny the matter about the art of war. If he directly denied that he had not read his grandson's art of war, his mother would be disappointed. If he lied to his mother, he would also feel uneasy, so Feng Yao changed his mind and immediately transferred topic.

Feng Yao took a few steps on his knees, moved a little forward, took the hands of his mother, Madam Feng, and the hand of his soon-to-be wife Gong Yinglian with the other, and folded the hands of the three of them together, saying: "Mother, Yinglian, as long as we Everyone is united. I don’t think there is any difficulty that cannot be resolved. Regarding the renovation of Pingyu City, I will discuss with the generals in detail, but I think it is up to Niang and Yinglian to decide on the renovation of Taolin Residence. Bar!"

Gong Yinglian nodded excitedly, and looked at Feng Yao with strange eyes, but she was too embarrassed to say anything more. Now she was asked to call Feng Yao "husband" in front of Mrs. Feng, how could she say it out loud? He also worried that his aunt, Madam Feng, would be displeased, so he tried not to address Feng Yao directly.

Feng Yao looked at the expressions of his mother and Gong Yinglian. There were some similarities between his mother and Gong Yinglian. They both had high martial arts skills, but they got along very well!This made Feng Yao very happy.

After the three of them paused for a while, they nodded their heads and took their hands back. Mrs. Feng said, "Yaoer, mother, I have an idea. I don't know if it is suitable or not. Let me take the days when mother was wandering around looking for you all these years." During the period, I often sleep in the wild, sometimes sleeping on trees, sometimes hiding in caves, sometimes meeting kind-hearted people, I just borrow a night, although I have suffered a lot as a mother, but relying on my martial arts, I can hunt You can eat enough to fill your stomach, but when you are away these years, you see more poor orphans and widowed mothers, and those who are a little bit beautiful are forcibly snatched back as wives or sold to others as concubines. The best ones are even worse, and there are those orphans, many of whom died in the wild due to cold, hunger or disease, and the better undead became slaves, and some were even killed for food!"

Speaking of this, Madam Feng's eyes almost burst into tears. Feng Yao stared blankly at Madam Feng, deeply moved in his heart, knowing that what his mother said was true. When he first met Madam Feng, those scenes came to mind one by one.

Seeing that Mrs. Feng was sad, Gong Yinglian carefully snuggled up to her and leaned gently beside Mrs. Feng. Mrs. Feng lovingly stroked Yinglian's hair a few times, and she felt much better. There was a smile on the face again, she patted Gong Yinglian on the back with satisfaction, and then said: "Yaoer, when I was with Shi Sanyi these two days, my mother suddenly had an idea, why can't we build a special adoption house?" As for those orphans and widowed mothers, just like you adopted Shi Sanyi at that time, gather them together to teach them to read and practice martial arts, and they can be used by you in the future, and they will not end up in a sad end. Those widowed mothers are taking care of them. At the same time as my own children, I can also take care of other orphans by the way, if I give them some wages, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?"

When Feng Yao heard this, he nodded immediately, and said happily, "Mother, this idea is great! I will definitely build such a place!" At the same time, Feng Yao was also very surprised. He didn't expect his mother, Mrs. Feng, to think of this. , Isn't this an orphanage, an orphanage or something in future generations?But mother's idea is better, not only to adopt real orphans, but also to adopt those families where mother and child depend on each other! !But like this, it is inappropriate to call it an orphanage, and it is also a bit inappropriate to call it a welfare home. After all, Feng Yao will not only raise those who are not enterprising and want to eat for free. The word "welfare" is obviously not appropriate. In line with Feng Yao's thinking.

After thinking for a few times, Feng Yao couldn't think of a good name, so he stopped thinking, and said to himself, "Let's discuss these matters with the generals. Brainstorming is the best solution!"

Finally, Gong Yinglian couldn't help but spoke, but she didn't speak directly to Feng Yao.

Now that Feng Fu's mood has become better again, Gong Yinglian no longer cuddled up to Mrs. Feng, but sat up straight, took Feng Fu's hand, and said: "Auntie! In the future, Yinglian wants to teach those girls to read Practice martial arts!"

Mrs. Feng smiled and said: "Yes, it is possible, but Yinglian, you have to have a few children before your aunt will agree to you!"

Gong Yinglian's face turned red immediately, and her voice was so soft that only mosquitoes could hear, "Auntie, Yinglian can't teach at the same time..."

As soon as Feng Yao heard Mrs. Feng talking about this topic again, he immediately felt very embarrassed, thinking that those slaves should have lunch ready by now, so he said: "Mother, lunch is almost ready, the servants may be waiting for us to have dinner !"

Mrs. Feng didn't know that Feng Yao deliberately changed the topic. Although she nodded with a smile, she still said something sincerely: "Yinglian, you are still young, and you have never taken care of children. You know the difficulties and responsibilities of raising children!"

The three of them went out of the cave. As expected, the servants had already prepared their lunch, but they didn't dare to disturb the secret conversation of the masters. Seeing Mrs. Feng waiting to come out, she immediately greeted her.
