Chapter 177 [Temporary flat and peaceful](1/2)
About 40 of the 108 Minfangs in Lanling City have been built, and some of these 40 Minfangs are quite special.
These special folk houses are usually owned by large families, covering an area of 1,000 acres and living in thousands of people. Even compared with later generations, such folk houses can be regarded as large villages.
The Minfang in the city is actually a village. A village with a population of five or six thousand is a big village?
For example, in the city, the central part of the ward is the ward. There is a village surrounded by the ward, living in the 2,500 Guo family in Lanling.
The name of this Zhuangzi is very straightforward, and it is called Guo’s Zhuangzi. It is like a loyal guard who firmly guards Guo Ziyi’s guard house.
In ancient times, it was emphasized that the clans were gathered, and ethnic groups were the greatest foundation, so the place where Guo Ziyi was located was also where the Guo clans were located.
Zhuangzi built around the garrison palace, which seemed to be filled with the great glory of Guo Ziyi, but if you think about it the other way around, it is the whole clan who is protecting him at all times.
The current Guo family in Lanling actually migrated a year ago. Strictly speaking, they have no blood relationship with Guo Ziyi.
But everyone's surname was Guo, so they traveled all the way. After Guo Ziyi accepted them, the Guo family became the Guo family in Lanling.
A year ago, the entire clan had 1,720 people. In just one year, the entire clan had become 2,500 people...
A total of eight hundred people have been added.
Very capable of giving birth!
Very good at marrying!
But this is not a unique situation for the Guo family. This is the case for many large tribes in Lanling City.
Even more than big families, they are the same. They are also rich in children, inherit their children, dare to give birth and marry, which represents a kind of stability and food.
The most important government affairs in Lanling at present is to encourage the people to increase their population.
...
In the evening, the mist was lingering, and the smoke from the roofs of each household covered the city like a veil.
Such a scenery is beautiful, it represents people's livelihood and it means life.
Guo Ziyi was carrying a food box, followed by his retainer Guo Qi and guard Guo Xiaoqi. The three of them took advantage of the night to knock on the door of a house.
The door was not stuck at all, and a laughing greeting came from inside: "Is it the patriarch? I'm here to deliver food to my grandfather again."
Guo Ziyi pushed the door open and saw the white-haired old man Guo holding a vine basket in his hand, slowly weaving it.
Maybe it was because of the old eyes, so the weaving was very slow, but it was extremely attentive and the vine basket was extremely exquisite.
Guo Ziyi walked over, first gently put down the food box, then reached out and placed it on the old man's shoulder to knead it.
But Mr. Guo shook his shoulders and said with a smile: "You have strong hands and I can't afford to eat this old bone. Don't pinch it, don't pinch it. My body bones are not stiff yet. Besides, I'm not a person who can enjoy happiness."
Guo Ziyi didn't listen at all, and continued to gently pinch the old man's shoulders, and said with a smile: "There is an old old man in the family, as if there is a treasure. You are the old patriarch of the Guo family in Lanling, why are you not qualified to enjoy the happiness?"
The old man laughed and showed the only two remaining teeth.
"Let me guess what you sent today!"
Like a child, he opened the food box curiously and saw it. He was immediately satisfied. He nodded and said, "Green vegetables and tofu, this is right. It is not expensive and it is not tired of eating. It seems that you have listened to it and will give it to me according to such food in the future."
Guo Ziyi sat next to the old man and said, "Last time you got angry, and almost fainted. Yuhuan and I were frightened. How dare you not listen to your old man's instructions... Now, the tofu and vegetables made by the maid at home are also grown by our own home. The cook is Guo Qi's wife, and the three of us younger generations are the ones who deliver the meal... The old man is still satisfied, and the meal is not spent at all."
"Satisfied, especially satisfied!"
Old Master Guo couldn't stop smiling.
Suddenly, he sighed and said earnestly: "A family is big and big, you must know more and more thrifty. Never make food for me in different ways like before. Grandpa, I am old and I am satisfied to live at the age of 88. Everything you eat is eaten, so why bother to waste money..."
Guo Ziyi listened quietly, picking up a chopstick of tofu from time to time and sending it to the old man's mouth.
The old man took a few bites and laughed even more and more from ear to ear. Suddenly, he picked up the woven vine basket for Guo Ziyi to show it as if a child was offering treasure.
"Tell me, how much money can this vine basket be sold? Can you change the meat of the clan's children and grow your hair after eating it?"
Guo Ziyi nodded without hesitation and said solemnly: "The vine baskets you woven must be short of buyers. At least it can be sold for ten cents and you can buy half a pound of meat. So the children in the clan are very happy, and an 88-year-old grandfather loves them."
Mr. Guo laughed happily, as if the last two teeth were not guaranteed, and said, "That's good, that's good. When you leave later, take all the pike baskets you have woven these days, sell them, and get them back for money. Buy some meat, some candy, and share them for the children in the tribe. You also have to share your little tiger head."
Guo Ziyi nodded respectfully and agreed, "Listen to you."
Old Master Guo looked relieved, stretched out his hand to gently stroke Guo Ziyi's forehead, and murmured: "It's not easy, it's not easy for you. In just one year, more than 800 people have been added to the entire clan. The strong men married their wives and gave birth to babies. This is a merit, a great merit..."
"There is also the entire Lanling City and every household outside the city. I heard that there are more children imported, and life is gradually prospering."
"Very good, that's great. As a general and as a guardian guarding the ground, you should do this, you should do this, and you must do this."
"This was the case before, and it will be the case in the future. We must persist and let everyone live a future... Good boy, have you remember?"
Guo Ziyi laughed warmly and agreed respectfully: "I remember everything I listen to you!"
Mr. Guo nodded with relief and said, "Okay!"
The old man nagged a lot during this meal. Every time Guo Ziyi came to deliver the meal, the old man would nag a lot.
And the nagging topics are repeated every day, and if you are not patient, you may not be able to hold on to listen every day.
For example, Linglong will find excuses to leave when she hears delivering food.
For example, Yang Yuhuan often pretends to feed Xiaohutou when he is at dinner time.
For example, the little maid Doudou and Lingdang even changed his expression when he heard about delivering food to the old man.
It’s not that they are bad-hearted, but that they are too afraid of the old man’s nagging.
Only Guo Ziyi seems to like to listen very much. As long as he can take time, he will definitely come to deliver meals to the old man in person.
He ate this supper with the old man.
...
After saying goodbye to the old man, it was not yet dark. At this time, every household had smoke, and it was dinner one evening.
Guo Ziyi was as slow as if she was wandering around, followed by the dazed Guo Xiaoqi, yawning and sleeping, as if she was about to fall asleep at all times, and she could not see any guard's vigilance.
There was another person next to him, Guo Ziyi's retainer Guo Qi. This middle-aged man who likes to nag is indeed nagging again.
"Xiao Qi, you can't do this!"
"Why are you starting to doze off again?"
"Are you really sick or want to be lazy?"
"A year ago, you had this situation. Lanling was building a city at that time, and everyone was busy. Only you, suddenly, seemed to be sick, dozing all day long, yawning all day..."
"In half a year, my wife has found many doctors to help you see the doctor, but no matter how powerful the doctor is, no one can tell whether you are sick or not."
"Later, the city was built and everyone was no longer so busy. Ha, you little thing suddenly got better."
"Hey, hey, listen to me?"
"You little brat, I think you're just pretending."
"After the city was built, you became much more flexible. As a result, the head of the family led a war and captured more than 30,000 Fan Yang's fangs, and needed to be pacified and naturalized. He started to get busy. That's great, you suddenly became sleepy again."
"This time, no matter how much my wife loves you, nor how much the owner spoils you. I don't care about uncle. I must change your problem..."
"Boy, boy, open your eyes and give me some energy. As the personal guard of the head of the family, see if you have any guards..."
"Oh, why are you disobedient, why are you disobedient?"
Manager Guo Qi's nagging is now famous throughout the city.
Guo Xiaoqi seemed to have heard it, nodded honestly, grinned, smiled innocently, and agreed sweetly, saying, "Oh, I'll be more energetic."
But while agreeing, he opened his mouth and yawned again.
Manager Guo Qi was so angry that he stamped his feet, as if he was about to start a new round of nagging.
At this time, Guo Ziyi turned around and said helplessly: "I asked you to shut up? Are you tired of speaking all day long? I told you a long time ago that he doesn't care about Xiaoqi's affairs. He is a brain disease and is most likely to get sleepy."
"You can pull it down!"
Guo Qi stomped his feet and said, "What kind of brain disease is that you are pampering him. The head of the family, you can't spoil him so much. No one's guard dares to do this in this world."
Guo Ziyi sighed, reached out to touch Guo Xiaoqi's forehead, and said in a warm voice: "The so-called guard is nothing more than giving him an identity, allowing him to have food to live at home... In fact, Lao Qi, you should understand that my wife and I take him as a child."
Manager Guo Qi opened his mouth, but finally chose to give up nagging, but sighed and said sadly: "Is it true? This child really has brain disease? Alas, alas, pitiful."
Guo Ziyi continued to touch Guo Xiaoqi's forehead, and his voice became even gentler, saying, "He experienced a major change when he was seven years old. I guess he was scared of his brain disease at that time. Look at his usual dull appearance, and he often talks to himself... What is this not a brain disease? This is a brain disease called schizophrenia."
Manager Guo Qi was silent, his face showed pity, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Guo Xiaoqi's forehead.
Guo Xiaoqi raised his head, felt the warmth of the two people's palms, yawned, and smiled sweetly.
Suddenly, Guo Ziyi sighed meaningfully and said softly: "If you are really schizophrenia and can become a supreme assassin at night, then the clan uncle wants to persuade you, you don't have to go out secretly every night..."
As he said that, he glanced at Guo Xiaoqi and said warmly: "Uncle, I am born with divine power. There are not many people in the world who can fight me. Maybe I will have many enemies, but these enemies are destined to be slowly destroyed by me."
"So, you don't have to be busy in secret."
"Just follow me honestly and be your personal guard every day, so that my wife will not worry about you anymore, and let me not worry about you anymore, okay?"
"That time a year ago, you were sleepy for more than three months, and during those three months, the bandits in Maling Mountain died completely."
"Does of copycats, more than 20,000 bandits. I once asked Li Guangbi to lead his troops to fight, but I failed to succeed in three consecutive times... The bandits broke into pieces and scattered into the mountains and forests to avoid the army. So even though Li Guangbi had great skills, he failed from beginning to end."
"What I originally thought was that when I had time to go there myself, relying on my natural force, I spent a long time to slowly clear the mountains and forests and destroy the bandits."
