After the old man's birthday, everyone's purpose of coming back has been achieved, so they each arranged their own things and were ready to set off.

On the morning of the 26th, Zixuan and Jinghan took their people back to the village, and then Jinghan told them to pack everything and prepare to return to Xizhou. Qian and others went back to pack their own things, and they all had everything they needed to pack and pack, and they were all neatly prepared.

When the old man heard that Zixuan and the others were leaving, he called Zixuan over. "Zixuan, are you leaving now?"

"Well, grandpa, we have been back this time for a while. I'm afraid that there has been a lot of things in Xizhou. We have to go back quickly, after all, it's too close to the Northern Yuan Kingdom." Zixuan sat next to the old man and said with a smile.

"Oh, it will take several years for you to come back now, right? I don't know if I can see you again." The old man sighed.

"Grandpa, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't you still have to see how happy you get married in a wife in Qingyuan?" Zixuan quickly spoke out to comfort the old man. "Grandpa, think about it, by that time, our family will be so lively. Don't grandpa just want the lively house?"

The old man was attracted by Zixuan's words and nodded constantly, "Hey, that's the way it is. Grandpa is looking forward to this day. Zixuan, after he goes back, you should also take care of your family. You are a man, and you can't just follow your wife in everything." This old man can't let go of this matter.

The old lady next to her reached out and poked her husband, then smiled at Zixuan, "Zixuan, don't listen to your grandfather, your grandfather is a little confused. You two live whatever you love, don't worry about what others say. Jinghan is capable and has never gone to outsiders to earn money."

Zixuan nodded and did not take the old man's words to heart, but Zixuan was a little worried about the old man. The old man used to be a very sensible old man, what's wrong this time? Why did he start to mess around? Is it really because of his age?

When Zixuan came out of the old man's house, he went to find Xingjia, "Dad, my son is leaving tomorrow. Take care of you and your mother at home. I looked at Grandpa for a while. You have to pay more attention. If something happens, please tell me quickly." Zixuan was a little worried, so he specifically instructed.

"Yes, your mother and I also feel that your grandfather has been sick for the past two years and is a little confused. You also know that your grandfather was injured when he was young, and his health has been bad for the past few years. He has to take medicine all year round. Okay, we will pay attention, so you can go back to Xizhou with peace of mind." Xingjia patted his son's shoulder, "Son, this emperor is good to you. You have jumped from the magistrate to the magistrate, and you have jumped several levels at once. You are in Xizhou, so you have to defend this border and be able to keep the emperor's trust."

Xingjia is a real farmer. In his simple concept, if someone is kind to you, he should give you ten points. That's why he reminded Zixuan like this, this is also a father's expectation for his son.

Zixuan smiled, "Dad, don't worry, my son understands. My son has been deeply favored by the emperor and will definitely not let the emperor down."

He from the other side also spoke, "Son, I don't understand the major issues of the country, so I won't talk about it. My mother is just a requirement to get along well with my wife, and it's better to have a few more children. Qingyuan and Qingyao alone are too few. Our Lin family is already a little thin, so you have to have a few more girls. It's better to have two little girls. Mom, I want to have a few granddaughters."

As soon as He said that, Zixuan and Xingjia both laughed, "Mom, I want to have more children, but this is a matter of giving birth to a child. Let's leave it to fate. If God feels sorry for me, he will definitely give me more children."

The father and son are together, and the relationship is endless, and they are chatting until dark.

On the morning of the 27th day of the first lunar month, Zixuan and the others packed everything. An Fu and others stood in front of the carriage, waiting for Zixuan and Jinghan to get on the carriage.

Zixuan and his wife took their children and knelt down to the old couple and Xingjia couple, and then got up and said goodbye.

He held Jinghan's hand, and tears rolled in his eyes, "Children, when you get there, you must be careful and take good care of Zixuan and the child. I won't say anything about other mothers. Your grandfather is in a bad health and she can't go over to accompany you. You should pay more attention to it yourself."

Jinghan felt a little uncomfortable. This mother-in-law has always been very nice to herself. There is no conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the relationship is very harmonious. Jinghan held a purse in her hand and stuffed it into He's hand. "Mom, there are 1,000 taels of silver bills, please hold them well. Now you and your father are getting older. Don't do so much work and take good care of your body. If you have any expenses at home, just use the money I give you. After a while, I will send some back."

He quickly refused to refuse, but couldn't twist Jinghan, so he accepted it.

Jinghan held Qingyuan's hand, Zixuan hugged Qingyao, and the family walked towards the carriage. When they put Qingyuan and Qingyao on the carriage, Zixuan and Jinghan turned around and waved their hands to their families, and got into the carriage.

The coachman waved his whip and the carriage walked forward.

The Lin family watched the carriage leave until they can't see it, and then went home. Everyone felt uncomfortable, so there was no need to say anything.

The carriage was moving forward all the way, waiting for the town to arrive, just as Wen Han and the others were leaving. Everyone happened to go to the county together, and when they arrived at the county town, they separated. Zixuan and the others went north, Wen Han and others went south.

Jinghan and his team walked north and took five days to return to Xizhou. As soon as Zixuan returned to Xizhou, he quickly gathered everyone in the yamen to understand the situation in Xizhou during this period.

"Sir, there is nothing in our Xizhou, but there is a lot of movement in the Northern Yuan Dynasty." The Tongzhi next to him said. "It was too cold last winter. The herdsmen here built a pen to live with the help of the yamen, so there was no loss in the animals. However, in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, a large number of cattle and sheep were frozen to death last winter. The adults also knew that the people on the grassland were just pointing to cattle and sheep to live. Now, life is not easy in the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"That's all, the weather outside is still quite cold now, and meat can be preserved for the time being. Those frozen cattle and sheep should be able to serve for food. When the weather gets warmer and the meat can no longer be stored, I'm afraid that the Northern Yuan Kingdom will start to send troops to steal things. They will never let the people starve to death. And our Daqi will suffer." Another person also said.

Zixuan nodded after hearing this, "So, let's go check the city defense from tomorrow. I think we have to prepare in advance. People from remote areas will find ways to gather them together. The population in our state is not large. At that time, the city was expanded and there were still many places. Let the people next to the border move to the city first. With the protection of the city wall, it is always much better than if they were scattered outside."

"There is also the problem of defense. Although there are some garrisons here, there are not many. It is still the same as before. The villages organize young and strong people to patrol and train. Send more veterans to help, and be sure to pay attention to the situation of the Northern Yuan Kingdom at all times." Zixuan took this method when he was in the east of the town. During the slack season every year, he organized young and strong people in various villages and towns to train. In this way, if there is really a situation, these young and strong people will also be a force that cannot be ignored.

Most men in the north know how to make some fist and foot skills. Especially the herdsmen on the grassland usually start to learn archery, horses, riding and shooting at the age of seven or eight, and are very brave. Zixuan sent those veterans to train, not to train their kung fu, but to fight the formation. The most effective way to deal with the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is not to compare kung fu, but to unite. As long as they gather into the state of a battle formation, the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will have no choice.

This is the key that Zixuan has seen countless records of the Great Qi and Northern Yuan wars, and then found out from it, so Zixuan pays great attention to these. Fortunately, the generals stationed here all have a good relationship with Zixuan. They all agree with Zixuan's approach and cooperate very well, and often send their subordinates to help.

When you go out, you will be a soldier, and when you go in, you will be a civilian. Zixuan's approach is quite consistent with these two sentences.

Jinghan was not idle either, so he asked someone to find a manager from the workshop, and everyone was talking about some recent situations.

"Madam, since the cattle and sheep in the Beiyuan region were frozen to death, we will not be able to collect much wool in the spring, so the output of the weaving workshop will decrease in the next step." said the weaving workshop.

"It's okay, we have our own ranch now. Madam, on the ranch, we can produce a lot of wool this spring, so we can fill it up to avoid too much loss." The manager on the ranch said quickly.

Jinghan nodded, fortunately, she kept a hand and set up several ranches, but now she is used. "Okay, since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about. Everyone, everything has been going on here in the past two years. There was a flood last summer and the winter was so cold, so the profits of these industries have also dropped a lot. Natural disasters are inevitable after all, and we don't need to be discouraged. Let's cheer up and work hard to do what we have to do. I understand all your efforts. As long as we grit our teeth and survive this time, we will get better in the future."
