By the evening, the head of Maoming city was faintly hidden.

The people and guards in the horse team showed joy. Some people cried even more joy because they lived in Maoming.

When the war broke out, they were afraid of being affected by the fish in the pond, so they moved to Leizhou in a hurry, and now they are finally able to return to their hometown.

After all, it’s better to have a hometown. Even if the scenery in my hometown is not beautiful, it’s still worse than that of my own doghouse.

Someone hastily accelerated his pace.

The closer you are to Maoming, the more people cry.

Finally arrived at the city of Maoming.

When you look up, you can see the Song Dynasty flag, the golden dragon entrenched, and there are four golden circles next to it that seem to be attached or guarding.

The soldiers guarding the city probably thought that they were very good because they were just a new arrival. When interrogating and checking, they not only had a polite tone, but also had a smile on their faces. This was probably indifferent to previous years in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting set up family members of military martyrs and garrison troops. The soldiers in the army often helped the people under the leadership of the generals, which made a rare harmonious scene between the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Dongting once told the commanders of each army that a country is established by the people, and a military is born by the people.

It means that the country exists because of the people, and the army is established because of the people's resignation. The commanders of the army all understood his intentions from this sentence, so even they were quite polite by the people. Even the commanders of the commanders were like this. Wouldn't the soldiers below follow the example?

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

The Shangliang of the Song Dynasty was very straight under the influence of Zhao Dongting. The food below would naturally follow the regular. From the beginning of Zhao Dongting's promotion of the generals in the army, such a harmonious scene was actually destined to appear between the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty.

Now in Guangxi, how many people still complain about the court and the army?

After dismounting, Zhao Dongting held the horse with his left hand and Li Goudan with his right hand. When he saw the soldiers guarding the city even took the initiative to greet the people who often went to sell vegetables in the city, his eyes also showed relief, and the anger that had previously been caused by bandits also quietly disappeared.

Hong Wutian said beside him: "Mr. Qiu is really good."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "The others are good, and I know how to be considerate of the people. Otherwise, I..."

He didn't finish his words because he realized that this would reveal his identity. Fortunately, there was no one else next to him. The rich businessmen and the people were lined up in front to enter the city.

Li Goudan raised his head, "Brother Dongting, who is Lord Qiu?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Master Qiu Qiu Wuli is the governor of Gaozhou."

Li Goudan blinked and said, "What a great official is the magistrate?"

Zhao Dongting smiled very gently, "Sixth grade."

He has extraordinary patience with Li Goudan.

Mrs. Xu and Hong Wutian looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.

In their opinion, it was probably because the emperor wanted a child, but in fact it was not. Zhao Dongting believed in the relationship and thought Li Goudan was very well-behaved, so he treated him so differently.

Have a baby by yourself?

He really doesn't have this idea now.

Li Goudan drew a big circle on his chest with both hands, "Sixth-rank official? Is it that big?"

Zhao Dongting laughed, "Do you know who the biggest official in the world is?"

"Of course it's the emperor!"

Li Goudan's answer was taken for granted and decisive.

Zhao Dongting asked again, "Then how big should you be the emperor's official?"

The child with blood on his face turned red and used all his strength to draw the largest circle on his chest. Then he looked up at Zhao Dongting very seriously and said, "It's so big."

Le Wuchen and Mrs. Xu both laughed.

Seeing Zhao Dongting and Li Goudan having fun, they always had a different feeling in their hearts. The emperor is probably the most special emperor in the world. This made even them unable to understand Zhao Dongting's personality.

When he was in court, he was majestic.

He was cruel when he killed the bandits.

But when facing Li Goudan, he was extremely gentle.

Hong Wutian could only sigh softly, "The emperor is really not like a person of this age."

Mrs. Xu looked at Zhao Dongting who was also gesturing, and nodded deeply, but said, "Sometimes they don't look like each other, sometimes they look like each other, for example now."

"The emperor is so big, the first-rank official is so big, the second-rank official is so big... So the sixth-rank official is so big. Goudan will be able to study hard in the future and can be at least such a big official."

Zhao Dongting said while gesturing the circle to Li Goudan. When talking about the sixth-rank official, he probably drew a football-sized circle on his chest. His face was gentle at this moment, and he looked like a brother to Li Goudan.

Li Goudan was full of yearning, "Can you eliminate those bad people by becoming a high-ranking official?"

Zhao Dongting touched the little dogdan's head again, "Of course."

Li Goudan crossed a large circle on his chest, "Then Goudan will become such a big official in the future."

Zhao Dongting smiled softly, "Okay."

The people in front entered the city after the inspection of the soldiers guarding the city.

This is just a rough investigation. Ask you which county and village you are from and what name is. Now, the prefectures and counties have not been completely stable, and it is not realistic to conduct a census. Such investigations naturally do not expect to find spies. They are more just acting and can also show the majesty of the government office.

When Zhao Dongting led Li Goudan over, the soldiers just asked a few questions casually.

Zhao Dongting said that he was going back to his hometown, so the soldiers let him go.

Arrived in the city.

The city is much more lively than outside the city.

At the gate of the city, you can see vendors carrying loads selling snacks, sugar clay men, oil pastry cakes, etc. The vendors shouted, which made the children in the horse team, who seemed to be apart in age and were swallowing their saliva secretly.

The wealthy businessman should have children at home, but he has never gotten off the car.

An escort was ordered to go to the vendors to buy snacks.

Zhao Dongting shouted at the people in the convoy, "Do you want to eat? Brother Dongting treats you."

The other children have never been close to him, but they still know his name.

Who doesn’t know that there is a powerful man in the horse team called Brother Dongting?

Li Goudan used to get benefits, but now they can finally benefit from it.

However, these children were very introverted. Although they heard Zhao Dongting's words, they still looked at their elders and asked with their eyes.

All the people looked at Zhao Dongting with gratitude.

This time, they were not polite.

Zhao Dongting killed the bandits and distributed the money. They had already accepted Zhao Dongting's love.

The children flocked to the food stall.

The scene suddenly became more lively.

Zhao Dongting took out the money from his sleeve and handed it to Li Goudan, "Goudan, go and pay the bills for them. If you want to eat, buy whatever you want."

Goudan was a little scared, "I..."

He has never paid for it himself.

Zhao Dongting despised: "With your courage, you still want to be a high-ranking official?"

Li Goudan straightened her chest and said, "Go and go!"

Zhao Dongting watched Li Goudan run to the food stall and smiled.

This kid might be a true character in the future.

...

From Maoming to Xinyi, then from Gaozhou, and to Cenxi, Tengzhou.

It was a few days in between, but there were many villages on the road, so I didn’t sleep in the wild anymore. I didn’t encounter bandits on the road.

Now that the people have a livelihood, there are much fewer people who choose to stay in the mountains and become bandits than before.

There are fewer and fewer people following the horse team.

When I was about to arrive in Cenxi, I passed by Sanshui Village. This is Li Goudan's hometown.

Li Goudan's parents stopped on the road, and when Zhao Dongting and Li Goudan arrived, they bowed to Zhao Dongting and said, "Young Master Zhao, we are home."

Goudan's mother mustered up her courage and asked with a red face: "Do you want to go to your house to have a glass of water?"

They had just returned home and didn't know what the home was like, nor did they dare to promise other hospitality.

Zhao Dongting looked ahead, and there were more than a dozen people in the horse team. Some of their homes were quite far away from here.

It is still difficult to say whether you will encounter bandits on the road.

He planned to send the Buddha to the West, so he shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I still have something to do, so I won't bother you."

As he said that, he carried Li Goudan off the horse and said with a smile: "Goodan, goodbye."

Li Goudan's eyes turned red again.

Then, he actually said to his parents: "Dad, mom, Goudan doesn't want to go back, Goudan wants to live in Cenxi City."

This surprised his parents and then couldn't help but sigh.

Goudan said fuckingly: "Goudan, how can we afford to live in the city?"

Although the government is selling houses at a low price now, the money is not something they can afford.

Li Goudan said a little stubbornly: "But brother Dongting said he had to be in the city before he could go to school. Now Goudan is old enough to study."

He is now obedient to Zhao Dongting.

But these words made his parents' face dim.

I can’t afford a house, let alone studying. In this era, it is difficult for ordinary families to afford private schools.
