Lin Shu was stunned.

He looked at Li Gomao.

The girl tilted the door frame, her eyes wide open, and she looked behind him in fear.

He turned around and there was nothing behind him, only an empty village.

The aunt said, "Don't be afraid, girl, they won't catch this brother."

After this conversation, Lin Shu finally knew what was going on.

He originally thought that the situation in the academy was already extremely steep, but he didn't expect that outside, the world of mortals, had reached this point.

The war is coming, the army needs to be expanded, and various fortifications also require a large amount of manpower. The government began to recruit soldiers and recruit civilians in a crazily manner.

According to Ling Fengxiao's previous statement, Nanxia originally implemented the "Employment Service Law", which means that each family has the number of places and years to perform labor service, but they can be exempted from labor service by paying the corresponding money and grain. The government used part of this money and grain to recruit other people who were willing to perform labor service, and the remaining part was used to fill the treasury. However, after the "Service Law" was restored, the people could no longer be exempted from labor service by paying money and grain, but had to leave people.

——What's more, even if the "Employment Service Law" is still implemented, and there is no harvest in the drought period, how could the people hand over enough money and grain to exempt corvee?

Seeing the girl's extremely fearful appearance, she obviously had a deep psychological shadow. From this, she could imagine how fierce and evil the official officer was when arresting people.

Their family was originally a harmonious and happy family of five, but now only the aunt and the young girl are left. How can we survive in this war-torn year?

Think more about it, how many such families should be there in Nanxia?

I'm afraid there are countless.

In this case, Lin Shu only read related poems in Chinese class.

There are countless specific words and sentences. Even though the war had not yet begun, he thought of the word "the devastation of life".

When he was in school, he just memorized the book, and no matter what, he never thought that he would be in it one day.

The aunt said, "Duck Feather is still looking forward to learning immortality in the coming year..."

Her eyes were covered with blood, and her hands holding Lin Shu's shoulders were trembling, and her eyes were filled with pain.

Lin Shu gently patted her arm, took out a bottle of fasting pill from the mustard seed sack, and said, "Eat one for thirty days without eating or drinking."

The aunt was stunned for a moment, then reacted, picked up the bottle and stuffed it into her arms, then looked out again, confirming that no one saw it.

Lin Shu was led into the door by her.

The aunt poured him a bowl of turbid water and said, "Don't dislike it if there is no good water."

Lin Shu said: "It's okay."

This is true for Li Yamao's family, and it must be the case for other families. Eating and drinking water are all problems.

The old lady looked at him drinking the water in small sips, wiped her tears, and said, "Duck Feather was looking forward to studying immortality a few days ago, but I didn't expect..."

Lin Shu asked: "Are they leaving?"

Auntie: "What?"

Lin Shu said: "The Army."

"No," said the aunt, "and you have to go to other places to recruit soldiers, saying that you will go to Mule and Horse in five days to deliver them."

Lin Shu said "Yes" and said, "You can wait a moment."

After saying that, I picked up the jade soul and went to the dream.

Mr. Meng turned around and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are here. Do you want to practice swords?"

Lin Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "There is one thing."

Mr. Meng said: "What's the matter?"

Lin Shu said: "Do you know Li Yamao?"

Mr. Meng smiled gently: "Fellow Daoist, do you know him? He should have come to the academy this year. When I presided over this mausoleum test, I felt that I didn't see him, so I searched for him. If you recognize him, please remember to come next year."

Lin Shu said: "He is sick this year."

Mr. Meng suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Lin Shu continued: "He was arrested after recruiting a few days ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Meng frowned: "This..."

He continued, "Why is this?"

Lin Shu said: "Can he come to the academy?"

Mr. Meng said: "He is not bad at talent and is already considered a person of immortality. I am just afraid that he will not be able to keep up with the course, which makes him learn more words in the mortal world."

Lin Shu thought about the word "王" written as "王". Although he wrote it wrong, he wrote it partly correctly. From not knowing one of the big characters to being able to write, he really learned it seriously.

"Fellow Taoist, if you haven't opened yet, go to their garrison and look for the official position of the Lizhi, and I will show up to ask him for help."

Lin Shu said: "Thank you."

"Fellow Daoist, what is the situation? Let me tell me in detail."

Lin Shu told Mr. Meng about the situation in the village.

"Why is this?" Mr. Meng said again.

Mr. Meng has always had a gentle temper, but now he frowned and scolded him gently, his tone was stern, and his eyes were filled with worry.

After a while, he said, "I knew this was a helpless move...but the situation was so severe that it was ultimately my fault."

Lin Shu didn't know who this "we wait" refers to.

Mr. Meng sighed and said, "Fellow Taoist, don't worry, the official in the mortal world will still give this face to the immortal."

Lin Shu said: "Thank you."

"No need to thank you," Mr. Meng looked at the sea of ​​clouds, "Fellow Taoist, go and find Lizheng. I will first talk about this matter with Shangling. The strategy of recruitment must not be like this, otherwise the national strength will decline within three years. Although he does not care about the affairs of the mortal world, he can still speak in front of His Majesty."

After saying that, Mr. Meng bowed to Lin Shu and his figure disappeared immediately.

Lin Shu left the dream and saw the aunt looking at her, with twelve-point expectations in her eyes.

"I told the school." Lin Shu said, "You are waiting at home, I'll go find Lizheng."

The aunt's lips were stammering, unable to speak, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

Lin Shu didn't know how to comfort him, so he just said, "Don't worry."

After saying that, he asked where Li Zheng was and went out.

Nanxia set up one hundred households as one li, each of which was the chief position, responsible for household registration and tax service.

The aunt only knew Li Zheng’s residence and the yamen, but she didn’t know where Li Zheng was at this moment. Lin Shu gritted her teeth and asked several times, and then she found Li Zheng and Li Zheng’s subordinates in another village ten miles away from the village.

Two subordinates were pulling out a young man from a yard of a family. There was a fat and white middle-aged man, spat on the ground and said, "Hide in the cellar! Cellar! I have seen a lot of this trick!"

The man's family held the child who could not walk and sat on the threshold and cried: "Sir, we orphans and widows cannot do our jobs. Will we drink the northwest wind in the future?"

Li Zheng said: "It's not your only family who drinks the northwest wind!"

The woman burst into tears, and was about to hit the door with her head, and the man also looked in pain.

Li Zheng said to her viciously: "You hide your man today, and you won't be able to fight a good war tomorrow. Then you want to drink the northwest wind, and you're afraid you won't have life!"

After saying that, the opponent said, "Go!"

Turning around, I looked up and saw Lin Shu.

Lin Shu knew that the clothes he was wearing were not in the style of the mortal world, so he did not unexpectedly look at him and bowed to him properly: "Sir."

Li Zheng took a few steps back and returned a greeting: "What advice do you have for the immortal?"

Lin Shu said: "There is something."

As soon as he finished speaking, the jade pendant on his waist flashed. After a trance in front of him, he saw Mr. Meng's phantom appearing in front of him.

Mr. Meng bowed to Li Zheng, his words were polite, and he explained the whole story. The general idea was that Li Yamao was a disciple of Shangling Academy and had to go to Shangling Academy and ask Li Zheng to release him. The rest of the procedures will be handed over by the Academy, so Li Zheng did not have to be afraid of his superiors' harsh criticism.

I was looking at them for a long time and said that the immortals naturally have the truth, but I, a mortal, have the difficulties of mortals, and I must report this to the higher authorities.

Mr. Meng said: "Okay."

Lin Shu knew that there were rules in the mortal world, not to mention that the disciples of the immortal Tao have never attacked mortals. Even if Mr. Meng came in person, he had to follow the rules in the mortal world and could not rescue people immediately.

The righteous path of Li, this immortal chief will go back to the camp with us.

Lin Shu responded and was about to follow, but he saw one of Li Zheng's subordinates suddenly kneeling to the ground, his voice trembling: "General!"

He shouted "General", but his eyes were looking at Mr. Meng.

Mr. Meng looked at him a few times and said, "I've seen you."

"Quyang City!" The man walked a few steps and came to Mr. Meng, "General, you are still... you are still here!"

He reached out to grab the corner of Mr. Meng's clothes, but his hand went straight through Mr. Meng's phantom and grabbed a hole.

——I saw him looking up at Mr. Meng.

Mr. Meng is wearing a blue dress, wide robe and wide sleeves, and has a fairy-like appearance. Judging from his appearance, he looks only in his twenty years old, and his subordinates have wrinkles. He is a man in his thirties or forties.

Mr. Meng said: "I was just a false position back then, so I'll call me husband."
