Given the cold attitude of the Marquis of Luyang Township, he broke the bridges across the river, Zhao Yu brought Jingniao to the northern house, harshly sued his father to his mother Zhou, and asked the reason.

Zhou explained embarrassedly: "This may be because my mother teased your father last night..."

Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard this.

His mother teased his father, but the result was that he, who was a son, was wronged. What's this called?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu complained dissatisfiedly: "Mom, why are you teasing your father?"

"Who told him that you brothers are not as smart as he was when he was young?" Zhou said dissatisfiedly after rubbing his son's hair.

"Just for this?"

Zhao Yu resisted the rolling eyes and said helplessly: "Mom, you and your father are too naive."

"What are you talking nonsense, your child!"

Zhou said dissatisfiedly: "Mom has worked hard to give birth to you, how can you say bad things about Wei Mom? It makes Wei Mom so sad..." As she said that, she raised her hand and touched the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, pretending to be sobbing.

Looking at the Jingniao who was covering her mouth and holding back her smile, Zhao Yu said helplessly: "Mom, is the child still in good business? Is it all delayed by your trouble?"

"What's delay?" After removing the disguise of pretending to be sobbing, Zhou poked Zhao Yu's forehead with his fingers and said unhappily: "You little guy, you are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and you know how to bully your mother. Why don't you complain to your father? You have no conscience."

Since he was already very familiar with Zhou, Zhao Yu was not afraid of Zhou's blame at all. He said half-pleasantly: "Mom, okay, who doesn't know that my father is afraid of you? If you tease him, he will not dare to get angry with you. Wouldn't he take his anger on the child?"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Zhou glared at his son, his face slightly red.

After thinking about it, she asked her son, "Zhu'er, do you want to go to the county town with your father?"

"Um."

Zhao Yu nodded and truthfully expressed his thoughts: "The child wanted to learn about how his father and Liu Gong implemented labor-for-relief, and by the way, he wanted to go to the county town to see it. Although he had been to Rushui counties a few days ago and had a little experience, his father had never taken me to visit either Ruyang County or other counties..."

"Um."

Zhou pondered for a moment, then said to his son: "Yu'er, your father is stubborn and sometimes like a child. Otherwise, after a few days your father's anger will be gone, you will ask him to take you to the county town?"

Zhao Yu thought about it and suddenly said, "Mom, actually, the child himself..."

"No!"

Before Zhao Yu finished speaking, Zhou interrupted his son seriously. She said seriously: "Yu'er, you went out with your father a few days ago. You should know what the situation is in my Luyang County now. There are refugees everywhere outside who are not covered in clothes and cannot eat. When they see you, they will pull out your clothes..."

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"

Seeing Zhou scaring herself with a tone of scaring children, Zhao Yu said laughing and crying: "Mom, what are they doing for me, a child? I can't even wear it."

"Uh." Zhou was stunned for a moment when asked, and then forced himself to defend himself: "Silly children, there are also children among the refugees. They can wear them for those children... In short, you stay at home honestly and never go out, otherwise you will be angry for your mother."

Seeing that Zhou's expression became so serious for the first time, Zhao Yu could only dispel his thoughts and hoped that his father, Luyang Township Hou, would change his mind.

After a few days like this, on August 18th, the Marquis of Luyang Township said intentionally or unintentionally before the meal: "Today, the first batch of money and grain from Ruyang and Yang counties has been transported to the county town. Mr. Liu has released the news that from tomorrow, the excavation of rivers and canals will be started in several townships north of the county, including Dengxiang, Wangxiang, Ningxiang, etc...."

Zhao Yu glanced at his father in surprise.

It is undeniable that construction at the same time in multiple locations can effectively shorten the construction period, but it is also a great test for the government's management capabilities.

To put it simply, the Luyang County Government Office should take into account the management of refugees and the distribution of food, prevent people from stealing food, maintaining public order, and coordinate the relationship between refugees and refugees, refugees and local county people in Luyang County and villages. This is not an easy task.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu advised cautiously: "Dad, are you too big at once? My child thinks that you and Mr. Liu might as well set up a work site in the same village first and try it out. It can not only temper the officials and soldiers in charge of this matter, but also give the refugees a general understanding of this. When the village stabilizes, they will set up work sites in the other villages, which is more safe."

Hearing these words, the Hou of Luyang Township was slightly stunned, with a look of contemplation on his face.

After two or three days, the marquis of Luyang Township occasionally returned to the mansion to take a shower and change clothes. At other times, according to Zhou's explanation, they were all at several work sites in the county, and half of the guards in the townshipside House were sent to the work sites to maintain order.

The good news is that labor-for-relief has achieved great results. Not only are there many refugees who have gathered outside the township marquis’ mansion in the past; as for bad news, Zhao Yu occasionally saw the township marquis go home again, and saw his father’s face full of sorrow.

Obviously, there must be some problems with the workplaces that use labor for relief.

This is not surprising. After all, those workplaces are filled with people from different factions, including county residents, townsmen, county soldiers from Luyang County, guards and servants from the town marquis’s palace, and staff sent from the Rushui counties. In addition, those who are said to have escaped from Wancheng and Jingshui, and those with different interests of the four factions will definitely encounter friction and even cause greater trouble.

But unfortunately, Zhao Yu could not provide any advice on this, because he has been in the mansion these days and is not clear about the situation outside.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu came to the Beizhai and told his mother Zhou about his thoughts: "Mom, I want to go out for a walk outside the mansion."

Zhou frowned and was about to speak, Zhao Yu said first: "When the child wanted to go out a while ago, you think that the outside of the mansion was unsafe. Now the county town is implementing labor-for-relief. Most of the refugees have flocked to several work sites set up by the county government, and honestly digging rivers and canals and exchanging labor for food. The child thought that the public security outside the mansion should have improved a lot, and it should not matter if the child went out to see the situation."

Hearing Zhao Yu's orderly words, Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Do you have to go?"

"The child wants to go and see the workplace with his own eyes." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Although the child is young, the child hopes to help his father and those refugees."

"Good boy."

After hearing this, Zhou hugged Zhao Yu in his arms and said with a smile: "In this way, I will send someone to notify your father for my mother and ask your father to send someone to pick you up."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Mom, don't bother my father..."

"Are you angry with him?" Zhou was quite surprised and immediately enlightened Zhao Yu: "Ye'er, are you still angry that your father didn't take you to the county town some time ago? In fact, your father is sometimes as naive as a child. He once thought he was extremely smart. In the past, he always said that you two brothers were not as good as him when he was young. This time, the relief work in Luyang County was the most rewarding for your suggestions. Your father didn't say it, but he felt that he couldn't bear the face... In addition, he felt that this should be the responsibility that adults should bear, and should not fall on your child, so..."

"Mom, the child is not angry."

Seeing that Zhou had misunderstood, Zhao Yu shook his head and explained: "The child just felt that his father had worked hard these days and should not be distracted. Besides, there are actually no feasible suggestions for some problems encountered during the relief work. The child just wanted to go and see if he could help."

"That's it..." Zhou pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, you are determined to help your father and help refugees in the country. You can't stop you from stopping me again and again. However, if you want to leave the mansion, you must bring a few guards..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of Cao An, Zhang Ji and others.

Cao An, Zhang Ji and others were actually the first people Zhao Yu met when he came to this family. According to Zhao Yu's observation at that time, these people seemed to be quite close to him.

However, Zhao Yu was so shocked that he forgot these people.

What made him even more embarrassed was that he had not yet learned about Cao An, Zhang Ji and others whether he had been punished for falling from a tree that day. To be honest, Zhao Yu did not think that it was the responsibility of Cao An, Zhang Ji and others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu said to his mother: "Mom, let Cao An, Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng and others follow the child."

“Huh?”

Zhou was a little surprised, and then asked in surprise: "Has my son recovered his past memory?"

"Uh, it hasn't been done yet." Zhao Yu explained embarrassedly: "The child only vaguely remembers that after falling from the tree that day, it was Cao An, Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng and others who were beside the child..."

"so……"

A little disappointment flashed in Zhou's eyes, and he frowned and said, "Cao An is not a bad person, but he has no opinion. He used to only know how to follow you to make trouble..." He glanced at Zhao Yu and said with a little blame: "It's not for my mother to tell you, you were naughty in the past."

Zhao Yu smiled embarrassedly, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Zhou said again: "As for Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng, both of them are capable, so your father picked out the two of them from the many guards to teach you martial arts..." At this point, she suddenly thought that the reason why the Hou of Luyang Township asked Zhao Yu to master martial arts was to arrange his young son to the border guards in the future. She felt a little distressed. After a while, she said: "Okay, Wei Niang knows. Wei Niang will ask someone to ask you later, and see where Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng are currently."

"ah?"

Zhao Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this and asked, "They are not in the house? Mom, you won't really punish them, right?"

Zhou shook his head and said, "There are rules in the mansion. Although my mother has never punished them, but Cao and Chief Zhang Wei must punish those people, otherwise they will not be able to convince the public. After all, letting my son fall from the tree is not a trivial matter... Okay, you go back to the house with Jingnv first, find someone for your mother to ask where those people are now, and ask them to your house."

"……good."
