I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 820 Want to stay

Ziheng closed the window, and the temperature in the room rose in a short while. He kept looking at his cousin, and when he saw that his cousin wanted to find a crack in the ground, he looked away.

Zilu wanted to tell the story, but Zhenyuan quickly covered his hand, and then realized that he was too aggressive, so he let go of his hand in embarrassment.

Ziheng signaled his two younger brothers to sit down, "Let's eat first."

The dish on the table was a casserole, and a small charcoal stove was put on the table together. The casserole was steaming, and the room was full of the aroma of the food.

Zilu was already hungry, "The pickled cabbage fish pot is really delicious."

Zhenyuan also likes sauerkraut, "I eat frozen tofu in winter."

He likes stewed frozen tofu with sauerkraut, but sauerkraut and fish are also good.

The three brothers were steaming from eating, their stomachs were warm and they were warm all over. The half-children ate poor old men. Although Zilu was young, he had a lot of food. The three children were all tall.

After eating and drinking tea to relieve his tiredness, Ziheng saw his cousin's eyes dodging, "Tell me, why are you late?"

Zhenyuan scratched his face, "The Tongpan family's girl's carriage broke down, we happened to meet and helped."

Zilu had already snickered, and Zhenyuan glared at his cousin before faltering: "I accidentally touched the girl's hand."

He really didn't do it on purpose. At that time, he stretched out his hand reflexively, but he didn't expect to catch it so accurately!

Ziheng raised his eyebrows, "What's the girl's reaction?"

Zilu answered quickly, "The daughter of Tongju didn't care about it so generously, the girl left after the carriage was repaired."

Ziheng has a very good impression of Yunzhou Tongsan. It is not easy for Yunzhou Tongsan to come from a poor family step by step. The situation in Yunzhou has improved a lot this winter, and Tongsan's family members came to Yunzhou.

He also went to the Tongsan's treat last time, because he was not engaged due to his age, so he didn't see Tongsan's female relatives.

Ziheng looked at his little cousin. The cousin's eyes were bright enough to let him reach out to help. Obviously, the girls from the Tongpan family were of good character, so he got the point, "Do you know the girl from the Tongpan family?"

Seeing Zilu's eyes widen, Zhenyuan nodded slightly, "I saw her in Texas, and she was fighting with someone?"

That's right, it was a fight, and a fight with a man who was much older than her. He and his mother were both at the scene at the time, and the little girl had a very sharp mouth!
Ziheng snorted, "Tsk, the judge told me that my wife and daughter are weak."

Zhenyuan's eyes widened, "Huh?"

Ziheng chuckled, "Yuan Tongpan's original words."

Zilu laughed out loud, "Brother, that girl is not weak, she was carrying boxes when we were helping!"

Zhenyuan couldn't help laughing, what kind of eyes did Yuan Tongpan look in?

Ziheng looked carefully at his cousin Zhenyuan, tsk tsk, this is also fate, obviously his cousin has a good sense of this girl Yuan.

Ziheng rubbed his chin. My cousin prefers strong-minded girls. Well, it would be better if she could be stronger. However, my cousin is still young, although he is a bit impatient.

When it comes to height, Ziheng is a little depressed. Is my cousin growing up too fast?Now only half a head shorter than him.

After the second snowfall in winter, the construction of the capital stopped, but the captives continued to work, from construction to accumulating building materials, transporting stones into the city every day.

Yang Xi and his wife were visiting the capital city in the snow. The construction of their mansion was very fast, and the courtyard had already begun to be built. According to this speed, it would be completed in the next year.

The imperial palace is too large, and the palace has not been built yet. The wall of the imperial palace was built first this year, and it has not been completed yet. It will take too long to wait until the imperial palace is completed, so we can only build the administrative palace first as Xixuan wanted.

Yang Xi was walking on the streets of the capital, and she sighed, "The speed is faster than I expected."

Seeing the reconstruction of a huge city with her own eyes, she felt too much.

Now the capital has a floating population of 18 people, not including the number of captives. When the capital is moved back to the capital, the population of the capital will skyrocket.

Zhou Yu looked at the shops on both sides of the street, "The merchants brought a lot of manpower to the capital, and they also accelerated the construction of the capital."

Yang Xi looked at the shops that opened. Even if it snows today, the business of the shops is good. Rebuilding the capital provides the people with opportunities to make money. As long as they work hard, they can save money for a year. alright.

Zhou Yu talked about the captives, "The military officer in charge of the captives said that some captives asked if they could stay in China."

Yang Xi raised his eyebrows, "This is a good thing."

Why didn't the captives be abused, not only to ensure labor, but also because they wanted to assimilate them. Sooner or later, the land of the northeastern tribes would be annexed.

The captives are the pillars of the family, and their opinions can influence the family.

The work in winter is not heavy. Last winter, the captives were taught Chinese characters and etiquette. As long as they behaved well, they were rewarded with copper coins and food.

Last year, the captives were still unwilling to work, and they suddenly resisted several times. This year, no one resisted again. Instead, they worked hard to learn Chinese characters and etiquette culture.

Yang Xi and his wife talked about the captives, and the two turned to the temporary camps for the captives. There were a total of forty captives in the temporary camps, because there were too many captives and they dared not lock them all together.

Therefore, after repeated screening, they were detained separately, and the stabbing and shaving were held together, honestly, in one place.

But now there are no thorns, and the thorns are held in one place in the hope that they will make trouble, and the result is that they are all dealt with.

When Yang Xi and his wife arrived, it was time for dinner. The prisoners took turns working in winter, and those who stayed in the camp needed to learn knowledge.

The two were watching the captives cooking from a distance, and each person managed their own rice bowls. At a glance, they all cooked honestly.

Yang Xi looked at the prisoner's face, "It's quite energetic."

In order to let the prisoners get used to the command and management, the camp is very strict. Their beards and so on will be taken care of. Because of the water problem, they can't take a bath frequently, but they can ensure that they are not sloppy.

Today's meal includes salted fish, and each person can have palm-sized fish. The other dish is fried pickled wild vegetables, and there are several pots of wild vegetable soup. The staple food is multigrain pancakes.

Zhou Yu saw that the miscellaneous grain cake was dark. The cake was not made of pure grain. It was mixed with rice bran and bean dregs, but some oil was added, so the prisoners ate it very delicious.

Yang Xi, "This food is pretty good. In previous years, they didn't have a good time in winter in their hometown."

Whether it is the grassland or the northeast tribes in winter, many people die every year.

Zhou Yu, "So they want to stay in Huaguo."

"Not yet."

Yang Xi's tone was a little pity, but at the same time he was very happy in his heart. When the land of the Northeast tribes was taken, they would be several ethnic groups in the court in the future.

The captives noticed the arrival of the two. They were not allowed to communicate with each other when they were eating, and they could only peek at them from time to time. The captives also heard a lot of news that Yang Huang's sister and brother-in-law were in the capital.

The captives who resisted last year had the idea of ​​holding Yang Huang's sister and brother-in-law hostage, but they were wiped out before they escaped.

Yang Xi and his wife went to see the captives to study again, teaching etiquette, righteousness, integrity, etc., and the effect of this year is very remarkable.

Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, "Very good."
