Looking at those who escaped, Yang Yuanzu could only remind everyone to be careful in the mountains to avoid being left alone and being caught by the fleeing bandits and taking revenge.

The bandits' hideout was hidden in a strategic location, at a north-south transportation hub, with information flowing in and out quickly. In addition, the bandits had accumulated a lot of wealth, so Yang Yuanzu and the accountant discussed it and decided to stay.

Although Yang Yuanzu took the lead in conquering these riches, he did not keep them all to himself. Instead, he divided the wealth equally among the people. People immediately admired Yang Yuanzu.

Everyone felt that Yang Yuanzu was not only brave and resourceful, but also very loyal, and they all wanted to follow him in this chaotic world.

But Yang Yuanzu was essentially a lazy person, and he only agreed to take everyone in temporarily.

Yang Yuanzu now stays in the mountains and is considered an alternative mountain king. Lin Ting'an never thought that he would become the king's wife one day.

The food reserves left by the bandits were enough for them to survive the cold winter. The warehouse contained not only food reserves but also many mountain products.

This place is backed by a lake, and the fish in it are all fresh and fat, as good as those raised by Yang Yuanzu himself.

No wonder the bandits were able to thrive here; it turns out there is no shortage of food in the mountains.

Aunt Chen is an expert at planting and breeding. These days, she takes the lead and holds meetings with some people who have planting experience. Everyone discusses what to plant for self-sufficiency in the spring.

There were always rumors about war outside, but the war never broke out. In the spring of the following year, when Aunt Chen and everyone were busy reclaiming wasteland in the fields, Fei Maotui found Yang Yuanzu and the calculator after many twists and turns and asked them to go back to their posts.

Feimaotui couldn't find such a secluded place at first, so he was brought back by the people Yang Yuanzu sent out to gather information.

When Fei Maotui saw Yang Yuanzu and the Suanshuguan, they were squatting on the ground digging a hole. After each hole was dug, they buried a vegetable seedling in it.

Yang Yuanzu learned from Fei Maotui that after the emperor died, the third prince took the throne.

Unfortunately, this position was precarious and within a few days he was overthrown by the alliance of other princes.

The eighth prince came up next. The tutor behind the eighth prince joined forces with the court officials to make him a puppet emperor.

When the other princes saw that the family business was about to fall into the hands of outsiders, they no longer dared to act recklessly and began to work together to fight against outsiders. They beheaded the Eighth Prince on the Dragon Throne and put an end to the path of the Grand Tutor and others to become puppets.

The throne became vacant, and other princes started a new round of fighting for the throne.

The civil strife during the Da Ning Dynasty consumed the country's military strength. As the country was without an emperor to lead it, foreign nations took this opportunity to launch an attack on the Da Ning Dynasty.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this. If the fighting continued, even the Da Ning Dynasty would be gone. So everyone began to discuss choosing an emperor, preferably one who could lead troops into battle.

At this time, the Sixth Prince, who had always kept a low profile, was nominated.

The Sixth Prince also understood that everyone wanted to use him as a gun, but it depended on whether he agreed or not. Now that he had sat down in that position, don't expect him to give it up so easily.

The first thing the Sixth Prince did after taking the throne was to get rid of the rebellious ministers and resolve his own worries first.

Many positions of ministers in the court were left vacant, and the court was short of people, so the Sixth Prince ordered his subordinates to find back all the former ministers who could be found, and those who could not be found would have to wait for the imperial examination to fill the vacancies.

Newcomers are always not as skilled as the old ones. The old ones have experience and do not need to be taught from scratch. The Sixth Prince also pays more attention to recruiting people.

Of course he would be willing to return to Changjing and continue to be an official with a salary. However, these days, he was working in the fields and missed the days when he received his monthly salary on time.

"I plan to go back, what about you, Brother Yang?"

"It's good to be able to go back, but I hope the court can be stabilized." Yang Yuanzu paused and continued, "But after the war outside, we should not have so many troops to continue the civil strife in Daning Dynasty. I think we can go back. Even if there will be trouble again in the future, it will not be to the point of having to fight a war."

They can still withstand small-scale conflicts.

After discussion, the two decided to go back.

Aunt Chen was so happy to hear that she could go back home. She walked briskly these days and worked with great enthusiasm.

The others were naturally happy to learn that they could go back. However, Lin Ting'an and his group felt that life in the mountains was inconvenient and many things were not available.

The passers-by who stayed here also packed up their things early and left one after another. No one was willing to give up the family business they had worked hard for decades or even generations in Changjing City.

Everyone was happy to leave, except the children they brought with them.

These days, the children have a lot of fun in the mountains, hunting game and having picnics. Most importantly, they don’t have to do homework assigned by teachers, needlework tasks or parents’ supervision, and they live a good and free life.

When they heard that they had to go back, the children gathered together and were sad for a long time. Tiger Boy also followed his brothers and sisters to join in the fun.

"Go away, go away. Why are you, a baby who doesn't have to go to class, joining in the fun?" Tiger Boy was excluded by his older brothers and sisters.

He waved his chubby hands unwillingly and argued loudly: "Little Tiger has to go to class too. My father will teach me how to read!"

"No way, you are so young and Lord Yang lets you take classes? And your father teaches you personally?" This must be stricter than the teacher!

"It really deserves to be the home of the top scholar."

"Brother Shuxiang, you are so ignorant. Not to mention that he has to go to school when he is only three or four years old, I see many children in Changjing City start attending classes as soon as they are born."

"Do you understand?"

"Of course we don't understand. Just treat the article the teacher reads as a soothing song. With a soothing song, the children will sleep better!" After that, all the children started laughing. Hu Wa didn't understand why, so he laughed along.

"Tiger boy, stop laughing over there and come back quickly to pack your things. Daddy doesn't know what you want to take back!"

When Hu Wa heard Lin Ting'an's voice, he ran back and said as he ran, "There's something, Hu Wa has something to bring back!"

Hu Wa brought Lin Ting'an to his room, where the clothes and dolls had already been packed.

Hu Wa took out a dozen sticks, some dead leaves, and a few large live bugs from the cupboard. Lin Ting'an was so scared that he took a step back and said seriously, "You can take those sticks and leaves, but not this bug. Throw it away!"

"But this is Hu Wa's pet. Didn't Little Daddy also raise insects when he was in his hometown? Grandpa Yang next door also raises a lot, as does Grandpa Lizheng. There are also a lot in our hometown village. Everyone raises a lot!"

Lin Ting'an held his forehead helplessly, then patiently explained to Hu Wa: "The insects that adults raise are called silkworms." Then he took out a piece of clothing made of silk material from the package, "The silk spit out by silkworms can be used to make beautiful clothes."
