The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 615 Yanfeng County

If they are hungry and full, this is tantamount to saying that the government office did not take good care of them.

If this is passed back to the palace, what's the deal?
"My lady, actually..."

Seeing that these officials' wives were about to interrupt, Xue Baoyun turned his head and said calmly: "I didn't ask you!"

"Yes... my concubine talks too much!" The woman who spoke repeatedly accused her of sin.

Only then did Xue Baojun turn his head away, and said to Xu's daughter-in-law with a smile on his face, "You go on..."

Then, Xu's daughter-in-law continued talking.

Before Xue Baoyun came, the officials' wives had given lessons to Xu's daughter-in-law, but now that she was nervous, she forgot all about it, so everything can only be told truthfully.

Listening to Xu's daughter-in-law's narration, Xue Baoyun was extremely shocked.

She never expected that the family lived in poor clothes and poor clothes, but they didn't know that the food was also so "poverty".

While listening, Xue Baoyun was not idle. Accompanied by Yu Zhu and others, he came to Xu's kitchen.

The environment in the kitchen was extremely bad, and there was a strange smell, but Xue Baoyun resisted the urge to run away.

"Take the lid off!"

Hearing this, Yuzhu winked at the maid beside her, who immediately lifted the lid of the pot on the stove.

There are white flour steamed buns in the pot.

At this time, Xu's parents and daughter-in-law said: "Your Majesty... this was sent by the government yesterday!"

Hearing this, Xue Baoyun turned around and asked: "Send it yesterday? I remember that the government's New Year's greetings should have been sent years ago. Why did they only send them yesterday?"

This can only show that either the errands were not completed years ago, or the people in the government office took temporary remedial measures to deal with today's condolences.

It seems that this sympathy, I can't feel anything... Xue Baoyun secretly said.

Facing her questioning, all the officials' wives at the kitchen door were extremely embarrassed.

The Xu family has more children and less labor force, so even if they have pensions, they will live a poor life. There is no way around this.

In a normal age, this family would not be able to live at all, but they are doing pretty well right now.

But the concubine wanted to come to condolences, and the people in the government office made some temporary "modifications" in order to show peace, but these words are not easy to say clearly.

Xue Baoyun also knew that it would be meaningless to clarify these matters, so he didn't ask any more questions at the moment.

Next, she looked at the rice vat and other things about the Xu family.

Even the situation that had been "retouched" still made Xue Baoyun startled, and even made her feel hopeless.

Only now did she truly understand that there are two worlds inside and outside the high walls of the palace.

In order to see it more clearly, after condolences to the Xu family, Xue Baoyun also went to the next door, which refreshed her cognition again.

It turns out that the life of ordinary people is so hard and difficult... When Xue Baoyun got into the carriage, all he could think about was this.

Xue Baoyun couldn't imagine how much endurance it would take to live without interest in life like this, anyway, she felt that she couldn't live on.

It is indeed difficult for people who have lived in ivory towers since they were young to imagine the lives of ordinary people, so it is not surprising that the joke of "why not eat minced meat" appeared in history.

When Xue Baoyun was feeling sad, in Yanfeng County in the north of Longyou, Zhao Yanxun had finished reviewing the army.

In the first battle a year ago, the garrison of Yanfeng County resisted tenaciously and blocked the attack of the two guards of the imperial army, which made the whole palace re-understand the combat effectiveness of the guards.

Years ago, the Privy Council had commended the Yanfeng County Garrison, and Zhao Yanxun's personal presence this time was a great recognition of them.

At the end of the review, when Zhao Yanxun was about to leave the school grounds, the sound of "Long live" came and went one after another on the school grounds.

It is a great honor for all Yanfeng soldiers to be recognized by him.

Accompanied by a group of civil and military officials, Zhao Yanxun passed in front of the soldiers lined up, and he kept waving to the shouts.

His prestige is incomparable, so every time he waved his hand, there was a huge wave of noise from the scene.

The atmosphere at the scene was warm, and Zhao Yanxun smiled, and said to the accompanying officials: "The troops stationed in Yanfeng County are full of energy, Ma Shan...you are really good as a thousand households!"

Ma Shan, who was following behind, stepped forward quickly, hooked his waist and said: "My lord approves...my minister..."

Ma Shanna, who was born as a butcher, could have imagined that he would be praised face to face by Zhao Yanxun, so he didn't know how to respond to the compliment at this moment.

Looking at Ma Shan's incoherent speech, Zhao Yanxun said with a smile: "Okay, if you have meritorious service, you are meritorious. If you lead troops well, you are good. After a while, the second phase of the lecture hall will start, and I will let you be a professor!"

This sentence surprised everyone present, but it made sense after thinking about it.

The first session of the martial arts lecture hall has started. In addition to the officials of the Privy Council serving as professors, there are also commanders and thousands of households selected from various guards and military divisions to teach.

Ma Shan said in embarrassment: "My lord...the minister will give me a lecture at that time!"

Continuing to walk forward, Zhao Yanxun said: "Don't be humble!"

At this time, Fang Tong, the commander of Tianjinwei, reminded: "The prince values ​​it, why don't you hurry up and thank the prince?"

"I thank you, my lord!"

Next, Zhao Yanxun didn't say anything more.

Soon, Zhao Yanxun left the school grounds, and the rest of the officials followed. Ma Shan wanted to arrange his subordinates so he stayed.

"Brother, you have already entered the eyes of the prince, and you have a bright future in the future... Congratulations!"

Hearing this, Ma Shan turned around and said, "Brother, I didn't expect this, as the old saying goes... I'm a blessing in disguise!"

Meng Hai nodded and reminded: "Today's glory is the achievements of the past. In the future, don't be complacent and be careful of stumbles!"

Only brothers who really have a good relationship will talk to Ma Shan at this time.

Ma Shan nodded, and replied: "We were a butcher who sold meat back then, the prince can appreciate us, but we won't float to the sky, brother, don't worry!"

Ma Shan's words proved that he thought clearly, which made Meng Hai feel relieved.

On the other hand, after leaving the school grounds, these people went to the county government to fully understand the post-war recovery situation of Yanfeng County.

After a great battle, many people were killed or injured in Yanfeng County. Zhao Yanxun must personally take care of the resettlement and compensation of these people.

Today he has a lot of tasks for himself. After understanding the situation of the people, he has to go to the grassroots to check for himself.

Although the officials didn't dare to make troubles, he had to see it himself before he could rest assured.

Of course, going deep into the people like this can also spread his virtuous name as King Yong and strengthen the cohesion of the army and people in Longyou.

When the sun was setting, Zhao Yanxun was busy with everything in Yanfeng County, but this did not mean that his mission was over.

Leaving from Yuanyang this time, he went all the way from Liaoping to Tianjin, and then he had to go to the front line of Beidi County to see.

In order to save time, Zhao Yanxun will continue on his way today, and tonight he will stop at the pier in Changyou County to see the situation at the pier.

Zhao Yanxun hurried on, accompanied by [-] palace guards, led by the general banner Hu Dabiao.

Before leaving Yanfeng, Zhao Yanxun solemnly warned: "Recovery after the war, you must pay more attention to it, and you must not let the people shed blood and tears!"

Liu Jinghui, the prefect of Tianjin, stepped forward and replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely go all out to resettle the suffering soldiers and civilians!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun said: "You are an official and a person, you can still trust me alone, don't let the king trust you!"
