Warring States Eagle

In the morning, the sun is shining brightly, and a busy day of life is about to begin again.

The 23-year-old Ye Zi just opened the door of the cloth house, and then picked up the broom and cleaned every inch of the house very carefully.Ye Zi is a widow of the Roche family.Her husband died in a battle, leaving her with two children, a boy and a girl.

Under normal circumstances, in such a situation, a woman like Ye Zi would probably have to remarry in order to survive, otherwise Ye Zi alone would not be able to raise two children.Fortunately, when she was facing difficulties, the Luo family's military pension law appeared.

As a pension for her husband who died in the war, she received the land of the Five Anti-Anti-Factions (the three anti-anti-landscapes were paddy fields), and at the same time received a certain amount of food subsidy every year until her son and daughter grew up in Yuanfu (15 years old). until.In the Luo family, farmers and soldiers, regardless of whether they are standing or temporarily recruited, will receive compensation after they are killed or injured in battle, but the higher the level, the greater the intensity of the compensation.Therefore, in the territory of the Luo family, many people are willing to serve as soldiers, and as long as they serve as soldiers, they hope to make contributions and improve their status.In this way, even if you are unfortunate enough to receive lunch on the battlefield, your family members will receive good pensions.

Since she was unable to cultivate the fields of the Five Antis by herself, with the approval of the local cabinet and the witness of the village head, she handed over the fields to her younger brother and his family for help (of course, the fields still belong to her) , It is enough to take back some harvest from the younger brother's family every year.

Then she worked in the pension center run by Mrs. Guozhu (the territory is responsible for the distribution and implementation of pensions for military orphans, and is jointly managed by Zhengliang's women Matsumiko, He, Die and others. The clerks in the institution are all military orphans. This organization has been established since the beginning of the Luo family, until today, it has spread to almost every corner of the Luo family’s territory), and found a job in a cloth house under the Luo family. Work.Responsible for selling cloth.

Her son and daughter joined the boy scouts organized by the castle town for free, and learned some cultural knowledge while participating in military training organized by the town head.The scout organization in the territory is equivalent to the elementary school of later generations.In a town, the head of the town is generally held by the retired Luo family. There are at least three heads of the town in a town. One person is responsible for the civil affairs of the town, one is responsible for farming, and one is responsible for the daily training of farmers, soldiers and boy scouts. These are managed by the Cabinet of Ministers.Similar to this, there will be two retired Luo family standing or peasant soldiers in the village as the head of the village.One person is in charge of civil and agricultural affairs, and the other is in charge of military training.The cultural knowledge of Boy Scouts is taught by students who are about to graduate from the Roche Institute as teachers.Of course, the construction of the Roche Academy has not yet been completed, so the students and teachers who are about to graduate generally refer to the former Boy Scout students in the local area who have only one year to go.This is as a graduation test for these students who are about to enter the service.After these teachers have passed the service, the Cabinet will assign jobs to these students based on their conditions and their performance as teachers in the last year.

According to her children, they revealed during a private chat with her at home.They all intend to continue their studies at the Roche Academy in Saka County recently.The son's ambition is to become a general of the Luo family in the future, galloping on the battlefield like his father.And the daughter seems to have some new ideas.But her daughter's problem is the most headache for her.According to Ye Zi's original idea.I plan to find a good husband's family for my daughter when she grows up a bit, so that she can spend the rest of her life in peace, but the daughter seems to disagree with this arrangement, and the daughter seems to have her own thoughts in her heart.

Although her daughter's affairs bothered her a bit, no matter what she said, her current life made her feel very satisfied.If we go back to the era when she was a young girl.In such a situation, as parents, they may even sell their children in order to survive.Leaf is such an encounter.Due to the death of the father, the family was unable to support the three children.The mother had to remarry and sold her as the eldest daughter to her current husband as his wife.

Now, she suffers a similar fate to her mother who died of poverty, but with a completely different fate.Although someone introduced a new man to her recently, this time she didn't need to wrong herself and her children in order to survive, and no one came to force her to submit.She can choose by herself, whether to marry or not, who she plans to marry, she can choose by herself.If someone dared to force her, as long as she went to the town or the nursing home to file a complaint, the person who forced her would be subjected to hard labor or even reduced to slavery, which violated the laws of the territory.

While she was still cleaning the house and thinking about the family affairs, with a "shua", the curtain of the cloth house was suddenly pushed open. A man who looked only in his 20s was wearing a white cloth. , the two arms and the neck are intertwined like the roots of an old tree, and the power contained in it can be clearly felt even through the clothes, the two eyes are clear and bright, and the whole face is full of serene young people walked in .Behind him were two strong men who looked a bit vicious.

"Welcome, what do you want, sir?" Although she was afraid of the two people behind the young man, Ye Zi still habitually received the young man with a smile after training.

"Hmm! I want to buy some..." The young man scanned the shelves, and then continued, "Silk! What kind of silk do you have? Please show me."

"Please wait! We have some good Tango silk in our store!" Ye Zi immediately climbed up the shelf and took three rolls of silk from the top, one yellow, one green and one purple. This is from the Amada house in Kyoto. Purchased.

"May I ask if you bought it for Madam or Miss? Hmm... Also, what is your stature?" After putting down the silk, Ye Zi took out a ruler while talking.This ruler is a unique ruler in the territory of the Luo family. It is the ruler that Zheng Liang unified in the territory after he unified weights and measures.

"What? Don't you have silk from the Ming Dynasty here?" After looking at the silk on the table, the young man suddenly asked.It seems that he is not very satisfied with these silks.

"Is it Ming country silk? Yes, we also have it in our store." Ye Zi hurriedly bowed, and then quickly took out several pieces of Ming country silk from a well-kept wooden box on the central shelf of the room.Ming country silk is the most precious fabric in the cloth house. They were purchased by the merchants of the Ming country from the merchants of the Ming country, and the quantity is not large, so they are all kept properly.

"Ming country silk is really smooth and silky, and it is the best product for making winter clothes. If it can be lined with precious animal skins, such as fox skin from the Ming country, it will not be inferior even if worn on the emperor's nobles. But... if If you are making summer clothes, nothing compares to the light and elegant Tango silk! And Tango silk is much cheaper..." Ye Zi introduced the advantages of silk from various places to the young people in detail.

This young man was naturally Zheng Liang himself.Speaking of it, I am ashamed. Although I have lived in Mount Kishigake for several years, Masara doesn't even have the time to take a good tour of the renovated castle town once.Now that he was about to move, he naturally planned to come down to inspect it before leaving.

Originally, he planned to bring his daughters to go shopping together, but because they were all busy with the management before moving, they didn't have much free time, and as the behind-the-scenes bosses of many commercial houses in the castle town and the control of many charitable organizations in the territory People, spokespersons, they are quite well-known in the town.In addition, they often help poor citizens in some towns, which makes them almost the most popular people in the local area.The residents are even more familiar with him than Zheng Liang, who is a daimyo. If Zheng Liang takes them shopping, they will definitely be recognized by the residents soon, and they will no longer want to go shopping freely. .

As for the little girl Meiji, she clamored to follow, but her name of "Ghost Girl" in the town was enough to scare away many people.And the other Nohime, who is as famous as Mihime, has lost interest in following out because she has studied many things in the town thoroughly.

So in desperation, Zheng Liang had no choice but to disguise himself as a civilian, and then quietly came out for a private visit with the bodyguards who closely protected him. (To be continued..)
