The following text

"...In recent years, there have been severe droughts and refugees are everywhere. It is the reason why the people of all counties across the country work together to overcome difficulties. How can the counties in the Rushui area stay out of the troubles of Luyang County and stand by and watch the disaster of refugees in Luyang County? Are those counties not the city county of our Great Jin Dynasty? We might as well say bluntly to the counties. If the counties are willing to allocate money and grain to help, then our Luyang County is willing to stabilize the refugees in the territory for them and not let them wander north. Otherwise, our Luyang County will not have any control over where those refugees will go!"

At noon that day, in the main hall of the county government in Luyang County, the Marquis of Luyang Township and Liu Ying, the county magistrate of Luyang County, sat upright beside a table, and said the above words to Liu Ying. Only the magistrate of Liu, who was in his forties, shone with his eyes and patted his thighs with his hands and kept praising him: "Yes! Yes! What the Marquis of the Village said was very true. This was not originally the internal affairs of the Luyang County county. Even if the counties in the Rushui area refused to help each other, how could they allow them to stay out of the matter?"

As he said that, the Liu County Magistrate Liu looked at the Luyang Township Hou with admiration and praised sincerely: "The Township Hou is worthy of being a master of my Luyang County. In this way, the money and food problem that has troubled you and me for a long time has finally been found. A while ago, Liu sent someone to Rushui counties to seek assistance. According to the sent servants, the counties in the Rushui area were not seriously affected by the drought, and they have not been affected by refugees for the time being. If we can convince the counties successfully this time, our Luyang County will get a considerable amount of money and food... The money and food funding of several counties should be worth the official warehouse in our county, right? In this way, the river canals we have planned for you and I can finally start construction..."

"Yes." Hou Yi, the Luyang Township, was in a state of excitement.

Out of happiness, although the Hou of Luyang Township was preparing to return to the mansion, the county magistrate Liu Ying insisted on inviteing him to his home to drink, as the only way to celebrate the matter.

County Magistrate Liu's home is not far away, just in the backyard of the county government. He could not resist the warm invitation from the county magistrate Liu, so the marquis of Luyang Township had to sit and have a drink on the appointment.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Ying suddenly said regretfully: "It's a pity that the village marquis came up with this trick a little later. If I could get a month earlier, maybe the farmland in Luyang County could still be left with some refugees... "

『…I’m so sorry, Zhao just heard my son come up with this strategy this morning.

The Hou of Luyang Township hummed twice, expressionless.

As if he realized the loophole in his words, Liu hurriedly remedy: "Don't misunderstand the village marquis. Liu has no intention of blaming the village marquis, but just feels purely regretful for the harvest of our county this year."

"I understand that the fields in my house have also suffered a lot this year."

The Hou of Luyang Township nodded and did not pursue the matter.

Indeed, given that Luyang County did not dare to open the official warehouse, the farmland in the county was inevitably stolen and looted by refugees. The immature grains and wheat in the fields were pulled out by the refugees, and even the fields belonging to the Marquis of Luyang Township. Although the Marquis of Luyang Township was somewhat stopped, they could not stop so many refugees. They could only retreat to the second best and sent servants and guards to guard the barns among the fields, at least to keep the old grain piled up in the barns.

As for the grains and wheat in the fields, the Luyang Township Marquis had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, the Marquis' Mansion in a foreign country has the honor of "fooding two thousand households". Even if the crops in his own fields were lost in those days, it would not be too serious. However, if this matter was magnified to the entire Luyang County, Luyang County would have suffered heavy losses this year. Not to mention the taxes formulated by the court, even the two thousand households' food and salary given to the Marquis' Mansion in the Luyang Township may not be able to make up enough.

But the problem is that Zhao Yu told the Marquis of Luyang Township this morning, and the Marquis of Luyang Township had no choice.

He hesitated for a while, the Marquis of Luyang Township put down the wine bowl and said to Liu with a somewhat entangled expression: "Mr. Liu, I am not intimidated by it. In fact, the person who thought of this move of "coercion among the counties" was not Xiaohou, but the youngest son in Xiaohou's family."

Liu was pouring wine for the Luyang Township Marquis, but he was stunned when he heard this: "As far as Liu knew, the Township Marquis had two sons, but they were all about ten years old..."

"Yes." Hou of Luyang Township nodded slightly, expressing his affirmation.

Seeing this, Liu Ying's face showed a strong surprise and asked in disbelief: "Qinghou, are you saying that the one who came up with this trick was actually a ten-year-old child?"

The Hou of Luyang Township nodded and said, "These days, the Hou has also been troubled by raising money and grain, but he has no choice but to do so. Until yesterday, my youngest son Zhao Yu proposed to me and asked me to discuss with Mr. Liu to see if he could raise some money and grain and let those refugees exchange their workers for food..."

“Eh?”

Liu Ying's eyes widened again: "Isn't this the solution you came up with in the first place? Ling Gongzi even thought of this trick?"

As he said that, he seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously: "Wait, the youngest son mentioned by the Township Marquis was accidentally fell on a tree on the Township Marquis' mansion a few days ago, which led to the loss of his past memory?"

“Hmm?”

The Hou of Luyang Township was slightly stunned and frowned and asked, "Mr. Liu, how do you know?"

"Don't misunderstand the village marquis." Liu Ying explained with a smile: "It was said by a witch named Sun in the city. In the past few days, the old woman told everyone that even the village marquis, you know her reputation. Please ask her to go to the village marquis's mansion to exorcise evil spirits for the prince..."

When the Hou of Luyang Township frowned when he heard this, he looked very unhappy.

He had obviously paid the witch a generous reward and specifically told the other party not to spread the matter. Unexpectedly, the old woman's mouth was so sluggish that she used this matter to increase her reputation. It was really hateful!

Seeing that the Luyang Township Hou was angry, Liu comforted him: "The Township Hou calmed down, and turned around and asked someone to warn the old woman, telling her not to talk nonsense anymore... In comparison, I am more curious about the youngest son of the Township Hou. If the Township Hou said what the Township Hou said was not false, the talent of this son would be unusual. Will the young master be extremely intelligent since childhood?"

"this……"

Since he did not personally teach his two sons in the past, the Marquis of Luyang Township was not sure whether his youngest son Zhao Yu was so smart.

Maybe it was possible that he fell from the tree that day and instead became enlightened?

This is not a basis for speculation. After all, the alchemist told him that his youngest son would be in a disaster at the age of ten, and he would die if he could not get through it. But if he could get through it, his future future would be limitless.

If the alchemist had said that well, then his youngest son would probably not be able to look at him with his previous eyes after that disaster.

"Probably." The Hou of Luyang Township said vaguely.

After hearing this, Liu Ying couldn't help but say: "Why is the Xianghou so vague? Is the young master extremely smart? As the biological father, the Xianghou doesn't know?"

This made the Luyang Township Hou feel a little ashamed: "The little Hou rarely teaches my son himself on weekdays..."

"ah."

Liu Ying suddenly realized this, and then shook his head and said, "Qing Hou, how old are you? I have some experience in this regard... In order to seek an official and make a living, Liu also neglected his teachings to the dog's son, and even regarded it as a burden and a drag. But now he is getting older, but he misses the days when he was asked about the dog's son. However, my son has grown up and has his own ambitions. As a biological father, I can't stop him. I can only let him go and make a living by myself, leaving my husband and wife in Luyang County... The two sons under the village are still young, and they are still nearly ten years away from the two brothers growing up. The village has the opportunity to taste the relationship between father and son. Don't miss it. Wait until Liu's age, I will regret it again..."

“…”

The Marquis of Luyang Township seemed to be thinking.

It was only after the second hour of Xu that night that night that the Hou of Luyang Township returned to his mansion.

At this time, Zhou had already had dinner with his brothers and Jingniao, and was waiting for her husband to return while lying on the couple.

Seeing the Hou in Luyang Township go back to his house, Zhou family complained while wearing a loose clothes for him, "Why did you come back so late when you go to the county town today? Although there are guards accompanying you, the outside world has been unstable recently. Husband should be alert... Um? Such a big smell of alcohol, have you drunk?"

"Ah, I'm happy today, so I drank a few bowls of wine with Mr. Liu, which delayed the time."

"Happy?"

Zhou poured a bowl of water for her husband and brought it to him. He asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"hehe."

The drunken Hou of Luyang Township reached out and scraped his wife's nose, and said with a smile: "The problem that has bothered her husband and Liu Gong for more than a month has finally come up with a way to break the deadlock today!"

"Huh?" Zhou was slightly stunned, and then asked in surprise: "My husband is referring to the money and food problem for building rivers and canals?"

"That's right!" The Marquis of Luyang Township nodded, took a few sips with the bowl.

"Honey, have you figured out a solution?" Zhou's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "I am worthy of being my husband!"

"Cough, cough."

Hearing Zhou's words, the Luyang Township Hou, who was drinking water, choked, looked at his wife with admiration, and said vaguely.

"Why can you choke if you drink water like a child?"

Zhou stepped forward and patted her husband's back gently, rubbed her again, and then asked curiously: "I don't know what my husband has come up with, can you tell me?"

The Marquis of Luyang Township hesitated for a moment and told the Zhou family the method proposed by his youngest son Zhao Yu.

After listening, Zhou also praised: "This plan is wonderful, it is worthy of being a husband!"

"Um... Um, it's nothing."

The Hou of Luyang Township turned his head with some guilt and pretended to drink a sip of water.

Seeing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in Zhou's eyes.

She knew her man so well. In her perception, her husband was sometimes as naive as a child who had not grown up. For example, after she came up with a way to let refugees "for food" a while ago, although her husband did not disclose it to anyone other than County Magistrate Liu, she was very proud in front of her.

Of course, she also praised her husband very tactfully at that time, which made her husband very useful.

Today...what is wrong?

Zhou looked at her husband suspiciously, which made the Hou of Luyang Township feel more guilty. He immediately changed the topic and said, "By the way, Yin'er and Xu'er, what did you do today?"

Zhou could not see any clues on her husband's face, and he replied after hearing this: "Yin'er is still studying in Mr. Gongyang's house today. As for the slaughter, he said something with me in the afternoon."

"Say, what did you say?" The Hou of Luyang Township, who pretended to drink water, secretly glanced at his wife.

Zhou replied with some confusion: "It's nothing. I just told Xu Er about his childhood..."

"oh."

"But I found that Xiao'er was really smart. After falling from the tree that day, she felt that Xiao'er had grown up a lot in a sudden, and her words and deeds became like a little adult. Haha, it was so interesting... Didn't your husband talk to Xiao yesterday? Did you think Xiao'er is getting smarter?"

"Okay, that's OK, that's it. Compared to being a husband when he was young, it's still a little bit behind..."

The Hou of Luyang Township gestured in front of his wife with some guilt.

Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Zhou seriously: "By the way, from tomorrow, I will ask Xuer to follow me for a few days. Anyway, that kid can't stay in the mansion, so I'll take him out and increase his knowledge."

“Huh?”
