"Family? It's gone! The family was killed by the Jin people. I ran fast and ran away. Several sons were captured by the impotent king of the Song Dynasty and said they were fighting the Jin Kingdom. If they really fought the Jin Kingdom, they would have no choice but to pay my life. Unfortunately, they would only run away. Now the sons don't know their life and death, and I'm the only one left."
Zhao Ding blushed and said, "Old man, you only have one person, why are you busy with these 10 acres of land?"
"It's not easy for us to be busy! It's not easy for us to have our own land together. I came out early this morning, just try to get it and plant all the land."
Liu Ziyi said: "Old man, didn't the government arrange for each village to divide a few oxen? Are there no one here? Which county magistrate is yours?"
"Yes, why don't there be? But there are too few cattle, so I don't care! I'm also afraid that I will delay the farming season, so this time doesn't wait for anyone. I will do a little bit first. The county magistrate is a great man, and he is also anxious! Yesterday, he took all the yamen runners to help in the field for a day?"
Zhao Ding frowned involuntarily and said, "Mr. Liu, can you find a way to get some more livestock in Kaiping Army? Otherwise, the crops in the fields will be delayed."
Liu Ziyi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhao, we have done our best. There are thousands of villages controlled by the Kaiping Army. We have done our best to do it. The governments and the volunteers below have all been put down and are fully ensuring spring plowing."
Zhao Ding clenched his fists and said, "It's all this damn war. All the good people are killed. The fields are deserted."
Liu Ziyi smiled and said, "Our prince has arranged for He Quan of the Great Honglu to go to the Song Dynasty and hopes to sign an armistice agreement, but I don't know if the government agrees."
Zhao Ding and others were silent. He knew the answer, but he felt a little distressed. Will the official agree? It would be impossible to think about it!
This time, the verdict was made. When the battle was fought, no one missed the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty completely lost the hope of regaining the Jianghuai River.
Thinking of this, the few people were interested, so they said goodbye to the old farmer and got into the car and headed straight for the village.
"I also want to go and see another village!" Yue Fei continued to ask.
Liu Ziyi smiled and said, "Following the instructions of Mr. Yue, we will go wherever you say we will go."
Yue Fei seemed to be deliberately making trouble, but he just went to those remote villages to travel. Of course, the conditions here were much worse, but the situation was the same, with a prosperous scene everywhere.
"Ship Yue, the sky is over, let's do it here today! Let's go back to the village to rest, and the ox will be here tomorrow."
Their place is called Rongyuan, and now there are only dozens of families, so they can only use a few oxen with a few other villages. As time goes by, many people can no longer wait, and they all go to the field to be busy with hoes and hoes.
Yue Fei was also from a farmer family and immediately took his son to the field to help. It was not until dark that he put down the hoe in his hand at Liu Ziyi's urging.
"I'm old in the grade and haven't touched the hoe for a long time. I'm so tired now."
"Ship Yue is too modest. The work you do this day is worth the work of several strong laborers. Let's go back and rest first!"
Yue Fei had been working for a day and seemed to release all the depression in his heart. He suddenly became much happier. He put down the hoe in his hand and said, "Okay! Let's go back! Maybe I am born as a farming material. It's good to put down my weapons and pick up the hoe again in the future."
Liu Ziyi smiled and said, "Ship Yue is really a joke. If you put down your sword, it will be a big military loss, which is a bit unworthy of the loss."
Yue Fei just shook his head, as if he had made up his attention. A few of them returned to the village, talking and laughing.
Liu Ziyi's entourage welcomed them into the tent. After cleaning them, everyone felt refreshed and had a very sweet dinner.
Everyone was chatting outside when they suddenly heard Lang Lang's reading sound. Zhao Ding and others were stunned and said, "Where is the sound of reading sound? Is there anyone studying at this time?"
Liu Ziyi twisted his beard and smiled and said, "This is the order of the prince. There will be such a primary school in every village. The teacher is invited by the government. Anyone in the Kaiping Army can come to study. Of course, the children are required to participate.
This elementary school does not teach very profound knowledge, just to let everyone know a few words and understand some truths. Now it is the busy farming time, so you can only do it at night, and there are not many people. It is still very popular if it is free."
Zhao Ding and others couldn't speak even more. "We are so ashamed of our great master! Since we have come, we have to go and take a look, which is worth the trip."
"That's right, just let's go and have a look!" Everyone stood up and ran over.
This elementary school is a small fenced courtyard with three thatched houses on the front; usually the teacher lives here, and there are also tables and chairs that can accommodate dozens of people to study together.
There are not many people sitting in it now, most of them are children, and they are following an old scholar to pronounce it word by word.
There was a black wooden board in the middle of the house, and the teacher used white lime to write on it. Each of the children below was a wooden plate, full of sand and soil, so they used branches to practice writing on the sand and soil.
Yue Fei's eyes were a little wet when he was young. This is how his mother taught him knowledge. Seeing these children, he thought of himself and couldn't help but sigh.
Many children in the world are like themselves and cannot afford to go to school at all. If it weren’t for their mother’s persistence, they would have become the same as everyone else. How much hope does Gao Chong give these children to do this!
No wonder these people support Gao Chong so much. This guy is not old and is used to buying people's hearts.
The gentlemen on the stage talked about enlightenment books such as 300,000, and their understanding of these classics is far from the same as these people, but they listened very seriously.
"Forget it, just this thing is worthy of our good assistance." Huang Guinian is a Confucian scholar. He is determined to educate the people. Now that he sees that his hopes are possible, he immediately surrenders.
The others sighed after hearing this. Yue Fei gritted his teeth and said, "You are not too anxious to make a decision. Let's go to a few more places to see how?"
"What Mr. Yue said was that he was old and upright to hold the country. This should be the case, and this should be the case!" Everyone nodded and praised.
Yue Fei insisted on going to another place to take a look, but Liu Ziyi did not refuse and took them all the way to check it.
This thing is simple to implement in a village, but it requires countless manpower and material resources to promote it on a large scale. So everyone knows how powerful it is, but no one dares to implement it.
However, the results they saw along the way surprised Yue Fei, Zhao Ding and others. All the villages they saw in the Kaiping Army had begun to be implemented.
Liu Ziyi smiled and said, "Let everyone laugh. Our method is very simple and the effect is not very good. However, our prince said: It is not an excuse to do it, nor does it mean not to do it, so these expedient measures have been made. But please rest assured that with the development and strength of our Kaiping Army, a day of implementation will definitely come."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and Zhao Ding sighed: "Today I know the heart of Prince Gao, which makes me ashamed! I am ashamed!"
Liu Ziyi knew that this was a good phenomenon, so of course he would not miss this opportunity. He combined the actual situation along the way and introduced them a series of policies of the Kaiping Army.
There are many things in this that are incredible. For example, the Kaiping Army stipulates that officials are no longer parents of the people, but leaders, and serve everyone. This makes everyone full of doubts. This is not that there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors, and then society is still in chaos?
However, this is not the case, but the operation of the government has become more concise and efficient; and the laws of the Kaiping Army have been supplemented well, allowing everyone to know what should be done and what should not be done, and everything seems orderly.
What made them most gratified was that the officials were all very active and knew the situation of their subordinates, which made them feel a little incredible.
"This is the assessment system set by our prince. The satisfaction and prosperity and stability of the people under the rule are the main indicators for assessing these officials. They dare not do anything to do their best!"
Zhao Ding and others nodded again, shook their heads, sighing and admiring, and their views and tendencies were slowly changing.
Soon they arrived at Jingji Road, Central Plains, which was the center of the Song Dynasty in the past, but now it was controlled by the Kaiping Army. This result was a bit unacceptable to everyone.
"Boom!" A sound of horse hooves kept rushing over. They arrived in front and stopped with a loud bang. Then the two dragons came out of the water and slashed to both sides, and three war horses ran out of it.
The leader was a man with silver helmet and silver armor, a white dragon horse under his crotch, and two old and young people next to him, riding two red horses was majestic.
When Zhang Xian saw them, he quickly turned over and dismounted. Guan Sheng, who followed behind him, Guan Ling and his son also dismounted; then quickly walked to the convoy.
Zhang Xian is now 26 years old, and it is the time of high spirits. As the deputy commander of the Kaiping Army's South Road, he has always been in a high position and powerful position, and is even more imposing.
"See Master!" Zhang Xian once learned military tactics from Yue Fei, and could also be said to be a master and apprentice. So he treated Yue Fei as soon as he saw him.
Yue Fei sighed. The Kaiping Army is now full of talents. The younger generations such as Zhang Xian, Wei Sheng, and Zhang Jie have also grown up, and they can even stand alone. From this we can also see how difficult it is to defeat the Kaiping Army.
