Chapter 11

The next day, Yang He and his men woke up very early, but he never opened the door.

After breakfast, Yang He practiced bows and arrows, while Minister Yang cleaned and organized the courtyard, and worked hard. After that, Minister Yang practiced bows and arrows, waved his waist knife, and Yang He taught his younger brothers and sisters to learn a few words. Although he was on the way to escape, his homework could not be left behind.

At noon, Yang He opened the door and saw the lazy scarf and corrugated hat standing not far from the door. When the door opened, Yang He came out, both of them were shocked. They looked restrained and wanted to go up to speak, but hesitated.

Yang He looked at them a few times and said lightly: "I am Yang He, a Luyi student, who are you?"

When they saw the two of them were shocked again, they all looked solemn on their faces. They were indeed students, such a young scholar.

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you. Maybe the lazy scarf was a scholar. He said first. He bowed solemnly: "It turned out to be Yang Xianggong. His student's surname is Yan, and his name is Dezheng. He was originally from Bozhou, Fengyang Prefecture, and this is Qi Youxin, the head of the villager of Qi.

The corrugated hat hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The villain Qi Youxin, I have met my husband."

He took out something from his arms and handed it to Yang He to watch, "This is a villain's household letter."

Yang He took it and looked at it. It was indeed a letter from the Ministry of Revenue, which contained a half-printed joint of the Ministry of Revenue: "The head of the household: Qi Youxin, eighth. A native of Wuma, Bozhou, Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhi, was naturalized in the 48th year of Wanli. A man with three children, a man with two children: he was forty-two years old, a man with 18 years old. A man with 10 years old, a man with 15 years old, a man with 15 years old, a man with 17 years old, a woman with 15 years old, a man with 17 years old, a woman with 15 years old, a woman with 15 years old, a woman with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 years old, a man with 16 people. The right household post was paid to Qi Youxin to collect it, and this is the case."

Below are the secret names of the Ministry of Revenue, the Left Minister, the Langzhong, the Yuanwailang, the Chief Officer, etc., and the official officials of the prefecture and county, the official officials, the official officials, the seal officials, etc.

This is the style of household posts that have been popular in Hongwu in three years, but they cannot be faked.

Yang He's expression was slightly clear and he returned the household letter to Qi Youxin.

Qi Youxin quickly took it with both hands, but his expression was a little sad. His family of eight, but his eldest son and daughter-in-law died on the way to escape.

Yan Dezheng also quickly showed his account to Yang He. After reading it, Yang He looked at the two of them.

Qi Youxin's image was pretty good. Although he was covered in dust and ragged clothes, his skin was at least a little shiny, his expression was shrewd, and he wore a corrugated hat and had a bit of civil servant temperament.

If Yan Dezheng hadn't worn a long robe, he wouldn't be able to see the appearance of a scholar at all. A man who was only forty years old had wrinkles on his face and his hair in his lazy scarf would be white. The robe on his body was full of holes, densely packed with patches, and his eyes were indescribable to describe the vicissitudes of chaos.

"Come in and sit."

Yang He finally said.

He led the two into the house, and Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng followed respectfully.

At this time, Minister Yang was practicing bows and arrows, and his younger brother and sister were reading the Three Character Classic in the hall. Seeing Yang He and the two of them walking in, they all seemed curious.

"Ying'er, Qian'er, don't be distracted."

Yang He said, kneeling down at the front of the hall, pointing to both sides: "Please sit down."

Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng quickly knelt on the ground, and at the same time they secretly praised him. It was indeed a scholarly family and had a rigorous family tradition. Even on the way to escape, they did not forget to teach their younger brothers and sisters to read and read, and urge their servants to learn martial arts diligently.

At the same time, a warm feeling came towards us, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed.

At this time, a fire pit was burning in the middle of the hall, and charcoal was in full swing, and heat was spurting out.

There was still a pot of pottery on the fire pit, but the porridge in the morning was not finished, so it was set on the fire pit and kept warming.

It seemed that when he smelled the porridge, Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng couldn't help but roll up and down the Adam's apple.

"Sir, bring a bowl of porridge to the guests."

Minister Yang said oh, put down his bow and arrow, and he looked at the two of them again and again, but according to Yang He's instructions, he put a bowl of hot rice porridge for them.

"Thank you for your kind gift."

The two of them were overjoyed and thanked each other for a big week. Seeing the steaming rice porridge brought to them, they both looked very excited, especially Yan Dezheng, and tears flowed down their eyes uncontrollably.

The two of them swallowed the rice porridge regardless of the hot rice porridge. Yan Dezheng hesitated for a while on the way. Maybe he wanted to keep half of the rice porridge for his family, but this bowl was not his own. He could not take the other person's bowl away.

After drinking the porridge, the two of them thanked each other again. Yang He waved his hand and asked Yan Dezheng: "What books have you read?"

Yan Dezheng said carefully: "Reply to the words of the senior, I read the Four Books and Five Classics all over again, but the students were stupid and did not seek much understanding, so they never entered the school."

Qi Youxin listened respectfully, but the scholars here were talking but he didn't have the same amount of interruption.

Then Yang He asked Qi Youxin about why they fled.

It turned out that their escape situation was similar to that of the Yang family. After Fu Zonglong was defeated in Xiangcheng, it was rumored that the thieves were advancing eastward, and Fengyang Mansion was in a state of thieves. Therefore, the people from their village were led by local wealthy families and intended to escape to Huai'an Mansion.

Their initial route was to pass Suzhou from Bozhou, and then travel to Lingbi, Hongxian, Taoyuan, Qinghe and other places to reach Huai'an Prefecture. Unexpectedly, although the thieves did not advance eastward, there were countless bandits along the way, posing a serious life threat to their group.

In May of this year, the local gangster Yuan Shizhong gathered another 200,000 people to attack Fengyang and Sizhou, and was defeated by the Governor Zhu Dadian. Yuan Shizhong only fled with a few hundred horse thieves, but left countless bandits of all sizes in various prefectures and counties in Huaibei.

General Liu Liangzuo was also the victorious side in this battle, but there were also defeated soldiers and deserters remaining in each township and every village.

There are also bandits from Gerzuo in prefectures and counties in Huaibei.

So after arriving in Suzhou, the group could no longer move eastward, so they crossed the Sui River northward and prepared to go to Huai'an via Suining, Suqian, Taoyuan and other places.

However, the north bank of Sui River was not peaceful. At first, there were hundreds of people in their group, but after setting out from Bozhou, they died and scattered, and in the end they were only a few dozen people left.

Moreover, these dozens of people were not the first Zhuangzi person, and at least half of them were people who fled famines or fled in the countryside of Guide Prefecture. Because Yan Dezheng and Qi Youxin were one of the village chiefs and the other were scholars, they were somewhat worthy of the people's hearts, so the refugees gathered together and supported each other to walk.

As for Qi Youxin, the village chief, it was not that he was willing to be, but that he was a ancestral profession, which was a bit similar to a military household and could not even get rid of it.

So after he talked about it, he not only did not feel glorious, but he felt a little inferior and humble.

Yang He shook his head. In the early Ming Dynasty, Lijia Chang was quite honored and even had the opportunity to meet the emperor. The so-called people who did not move out of their hometowns were all governed by Lijia. At that time, the father and brother were in charge of the children who could replenish grain as virtuous people, but did not admire the honor of tribes.

Then it gradually changed, with the armored heads growing inside, and the elderly inside became a kind of lowly servant, and everyone was ashamed of.

It’s not okay if the village chief doesn’t want to be the village chief. Once it is the village chief, it will be the village chief for life, and for generations to generation.

Even the village chief who has changed from a wealthy family to a poor family is difficult to get rid of the shackles of identity, because rich families often use their wealth and power to collude with their books and lower their households, thereby avoiding the responsibility of taking on the village chief.

Moreover, the trend of the late Ming Dynasty is that local gentry and powerful people are in the forefront, and they are not their turn to have good things, but if they are urging the entrusted officials, recruiting taxes and other bad things, they will be tiring and dirty. They have no dignity in front of the gentry and wealthy families, and they are the role of chamber pots and servants.

When talking about his own affairs, Qi Youxin was full of complaints. Although the village chief had some power and could make profits and make some money, how could the harvest be compared with the efforts?

As the saying goes, when others eat meat, they can’t even drink soup. Thinking about the long-term honor of our ancestors, Qi Youxin felt unbalanced.

Yang He nodded: "Li Jia is like a person's hands and feet. If the hands and feet do not exist, how can the husband survive?"

The Lijia system was once an effective grassroots organization in the Ming Dynasty. If this organization is destroyed, it is equivalent to paralyzing its own brothers and feet. However, this small peasant society does not have strong centralization, and the effective up and down channels will bring devastating consequences.

Not to mention anything else, the renovation of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the canals, and various canal water conservancy, etc. is not something that a local government can do.

Rich landlords, with several households in a village, dig at most some wells and canals to repair their own small businesses, but when a flood comes, thousands of small businesses that operate themselves will disappear.

Such great disasters in the late Ming Dynasty were actually not uncommon in the early Ming Dynasty and the middle Ming Dynasty. They were all safely overcome at that time because the grassroots organizations were still there. In this situation in the Ming Dynasty, if the brain is still there, but the hands and feet are paralyzed, what if there is more manpower and material resources?

Yang He's words made Qi Youxin feel like a close friend. He sighed and said with emotion: "If there are people like Yang Gong in the court, it would be a blessing for the people."

Several people were talking in the hall, listening to the two of them, and they wanted to seek a leader in their own words.

The two of them walked along the way with the refugees, and they felt that they were not as strong as they were. The family was mostly young and they were anxious at all times. Yang He was a student at a young age and had strong force, which was a powerful guarantee in this chaotic world.

If you defect to him, not only will you be guaranteed now, but even if you arrive at a safe place in the future, everyone will have a support.

Of course Yang He heard what they meant. He was pondering, and suddenly the shrill cry of a child came from outside. The child cried and begged in a vague voice: "...Mom... don't... please don't..."

Lao Bainiu: I thought about the update and put it at 8 o'clock in the morning, so that everyone can see the latest chapter as soon as they wake up.

Thank you for your voting rewards from book friends such as jumping into the sea and hitting the reef.

A small soldier and book friend returned to Weixian. The bow and armor all depend on maintenance. Some people will get rotten after a few years, while others will become heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation.

I didn’t build a QQ group when I returned to Yehanlin’s book friends, because I wanted to chat as soon as I built it, and it took a day to chat, which was too time-consuming. However, if a book friend created his own group, you can inquire.

I smiled and looked at the northern cut off the white grass. 1605 book friend, I will check it out.

Back to the ancient rhyme Weiyang book friends, I have set all the key characters, but there are some extra characters that can be added. I plan to set up a supporting level system, a junior supporting, an intermediate supporting, and a senior supporting.

The elementary supporting role is a lunch box with one to five lines, and the intermediate supporting role appears from time to time. The advanced supporting role runs through the whole book, such as Yang Shaofan, who was finally cut in half among the soldiers, is a senior supporting role.

Which level of supporting you are depends on the essence post you posted, below 200 words, the primary supporting, 200 to 500 words, intermediate supporting, or above 500 words, there is a chance to obtain a high-level supporting.

Your dragon suit has a good name, and I have posted another 300-word essence post. I will give an intermediate dragon suit. If you post another 500-100-word essence post in the future, I will upgrade to a high-level dragon suit. I will post a post in two days, with detailed explanations.

Finally, let me say that the names of familiar faces who often play supporting roles in various historical novels should not appear, and use other names.
Chapter completed!
