I was a famous teacher in ancient times

The next day, not long after Ziheng was on business, he saw an old man being brought over. The old man was hunched over with extremely vigilant eyes. After seeing Ziheng, the old man slowly straightened up.

Under the eyes of everyone, the old man took out a piece of gold from his pocket. The gold was the size of a palm, and it pressed his hand very hard when he saw it.

Ziheng frowned, "What does this mean?"

The old man had never owned gold in his life, and his hands were shaking after putting down the gold, "My lord, I discovered the cellar when I was cleaning a yard."

Ziheng understood, "Did you find the gold in the cellar?"

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the cellar collapsed. When the villain was digging, he thought there was a snake's nest, so he dug along the hole."

He swallowed his saliva while speaking, "The villain saw that it wasn't a snake's nest, but a few boxes, and the boxes were full of gold."

Ziheng stood up, "Take me there."

The old man said excitedly: "Yes."

The capital city was cleaned up from the periphery, which was the residence of ordinary people. Even if there were small officials living in the periphery, there would not be much money in the family.

Apparently the old man discovered that there was something wrong with the house. When Ziheng and his party arrived, the soldiers continued to dig along the old man's excavation site, and the dark room that had not completely collapsed was exposed.

A total of more than a dozen boxes were brought up, all of which were gold and silver. There were five boxes of gold and eight boxes of silver.

Ziheng led people to patrol the vicinity again, and finally confirmed that it was unknown who's escape route here, but now all of them have been confiscated.

The old man found that the property was meritorious, and Ziheng was clear about rewards and punishments. He rewarded the old man with a house with two entrances and [-] acres of land. The house had not been completed yet, and Ziheng wrote a deed. The house is the gold and silver reward in the end.

The old man is lucky, there are many family members alive, and because the money touches people's hearts, the old man only leaves a little gold and silver after weighing, and replaces all the rest with fields.

However, the fields in the capital have not been counted yet, and the people who fled have not returned home, so Ziheng cannot directly distribute them to the old man. He still wrote the land deed. After the population and fields are counted, the old man will exchange the land with the land deed.

The old man's deeds could not be concealed, and soon everyone in the capital knew about it.

When the people clean up the capital, it is inevitable that they will find some copper coins and hidden silver coins.

Regarding the matter of the old man, the people in the capital wanted to dig through the ruins again. As a result, the already meticulous people became even more frantic. If they found something wrong, they must dig it out and have a look.

Although no large sums of money were found, many antique calligraphy and paintings were also found.

Ziheng receives several boxes of things every day.

As for furniture and other wood, it is the least. This is Zhang Min's pot. The people in the capital lack firewood and can only rely on themselves. Many broken furniture have been burned.

When Ziheng set up a temporary orphanage, Yang Xixuan arrived in Jeju smoothly.

Yang Xixuan went north and spread it all over the northern states. All the way to Jeju, Yang Xixuan felt the welcome of the people.

The people who got the news waited by the roadside, kneeling down to welcome Yang Xixuan's arrival.

Long live the emperor soared into the sky, Yang Xixuan helped the people in the north several times, and now he has ended the troubled times. At this time, he is the belief in the hearts of the people.

The common people kowtowed sincerely, some of them broke their heads because they knocked hard, as if they couldn't feel the pain, their eyes were chasing Yang Xixuan, that was the light of the common people.

Even if the team goes far away, the people will see them off from a distance. They have been sent for several miles, and the people will disperse and go home until the team is no longer visible.

Zhou Yu looked at the silent Xixuan, "Are you moved?"

Yang Xixuan's chest felt uncomfortable, "Brother-in-law, they are my responsibility."

This is what Zhou Yu admires most about Xixuan, the whole world would be inflated for another person, but Xixuan didn’t, he went all the way to Jeju to observe the lives of the people with his heart, his notebook was almost full.

Zhou Yu poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "I believe you can."

Yang Xixuan only felt that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy. Since he crossed the Nanjiang River, all he could see was the suffering of the people in the north. Even with the relief food and grain seeds he gave, the life of the people was still hard.

The lack of strong labor in the north is more serious than in the south. Most of the families are old and weak, women and children. Even if there is food to cultivate, there is no labor to cultivate the land. It is God’s fault to farm these years. The yield per mu is not high, and the people still can’t fill their stomachs all year round. .

Yang Xixuan sighed, "There have been many years of troubled times, the fields in various states have been abandoned, the hydraulic power has been in disrepair for a long time, and the lack of cattle for farming has made it even more difficult for the north to recover."

Zhou Yu followed Xixuan on a private visit. Because of the lack of labor, large tracts of land are still deserted, the population has dropped sharply and the towns are depressed. There is not even a barefoot doctor in a town, and the people rely on hard work when they are sick.

Zhou Yu also felt uncomfortable, he could only comfort, "Take your time."

Yang Xixuan was really anxious in his heart, countless people died in one night, but it was useless for him to be anxious.

All the way to Jeju Prefecture, General Liu greeted him ten miles outside the city. Today not only Jeju officials arrived, but also countless people.

The people want to see Emperor Yang in person, no, it should be the emperor, they are already the emperor's subjects.

Yang Xixuan stood on horseback, General Liu and others greeted him, saying Long live the emperor, Yang Xixuan only felt that his shoulders became heavier and heavier.

Including the well-preserved city of Jeju, the people are still short of food and clothing. At a glance, there are not many people with ruddy complexions.

Yang Xixuan signaled to the common people to live in peace. He didn't draw big cakes for the people.

The people waited for Yang Xixuan to enter the city before they dared to discuss it in private. Some people said that the emperor was worthy of being a god who came down to earth, some said that the emperor was really young, and some excitedly called Mingjun.

When Yang Xixuan arrived at the palace, he was not in the mood to visit the palace, instead he murmured to Zhou Yu, "Zhang Min has a frugal attitude, tsk, he built the palace!"

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, knowing what Xixuan wanted to hear, "Zhang Min is hypocritical, only you are afraid of hurting the people."

Yang Xixuan raised his chin, he should be proud, "I have so much money, I didn't even build a palace!"

Zhou Yu laughed out loud, "Yes, so you are a wise king who loves the people."

Yang Xixuan was overjoyed, and his footsteps became a bit brisker. General Liu accepted it well. He was one of the first few people to follow the emperor. He had seen too many interactions between the emperor and Mr. Zhou, so he looked calm.

The officials who came over later and General Zhao and others stared wide-eyed. They were afraid of Emperor Yang from the bottom of their hearts. All these years, they have been decisive and decisive about Emperor Yang.

Seeing that Emperor Yang was happy because of Mr. Zhou's praise, as if he was a child approved by his parents, they couldn't help but be surprised.

At the same time, I warned myself in my heart that Mr. Zhou is someone who cannot be offended.

Zhou Yu felt the scorching gaze, he could guess what the official was thinking, and clicked his tongue, luckily he didn't meddle in government affairs!
