Chapter 1671: Duke of Qi, a great man

Zhu Houzhao's mood was not very good today. Now when he heard these words, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Fang Jifan was afraid that Zhu Houzhao's identity would be exposed, so he pulled Zhu Houzhao away.

As he walked, he turned his head to Liu Jin and said, "Suncle, find someone to come in and pack these dogs and vent his anger for His Majesty, but remember that you must not let someone know your identity."

"God Master." Liu Jin nodded. He knew that it was time for him to show his face in front of His Majesty, so he hurriedly said, "What reason should I find?"

Yes, you have to find a reason.

Otherwise... people will inevitably doubt something.

Fang Jifan glanced at Liu Jin strangely.

This dog is becoming less and less like Liu Jin in history.

You Liu Jin wants to beat someone, but you still need a reason?

Fang Jifan thought deeply for a moment, and word by word came out from his mouth: "What are you looking at?"

Liu Jin said: "What are you looking at?" Then he beat him up, stop talking, get out of here!"

Liu Jin ran away.

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that she smoked her mouth and cursed: "I don't know these dogs, hum, it's really outrageous."

Fang Jifan comforted: "Your Majesty, what they said makes sense. Haven't the military and military officials been entrusted with military forces? This identity has existed since ancient times. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just like this. It's nothing with their knowledge."

Zhu Houzhao gritted her teeth and said, "They are all my soldiers!"

Even if you say this, you can't answer this way, because if you say it out loud, human prejudices are not so easy to break.

…………

Half a month later.

Zhou Yi returned to Ningbo Prefecture.

His family is in a small village deep in the mountains of Ningbo Prefecture.

This is a place where even the government is too lazy to manage. There are countless hills and deep mountains and forests in the south, and countless people are distributed among these countless deep mountains and gullies.

Zhou Yi carried his luggage along the familiar mountain road. When he saw the huts everywhere, he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

Smoke was already rising in the village.

Zhou Yi found his home.

This is a thatched cottage. Zhou Yi has lost his father since he was a child and depends on his mother for life. If he hadn't really been able to survive, he would not have joined the army. His mother was sent to the house of his sister who was married to a wife for care.

Zhou Yi would send some of his salary back every now and then as his mother's daily life needs.

He thought that his mother should be at her sister's house dozens of miles away, but when he pushed open the door, he saw an old woman burning wood inside. "Mother..." Zhou Yi couldn't help but his eyes turned red when he saw his mother.

He dropped his bag, bent his knees subconsciously, and fell to the ground. "Oh, is it that I'm back?" The hut was very dark, and Zhou's mother's eyes were not good, so she groped and staggered to get up.

Zhou's mother seemed very surprised and thought that it would take at least a few years for her son to come back.

Zhou Yi quickly got up and helped Zhou's mother: "How come my mother is back? What's the reason? Is it because of my brother-in-law's place..."

Zhou's mother shook her head quickly: "It's not that they disliked it, but... they suddenly had a mouthful of mouth in their family, and my mother was disgusted. I, an old woman, have no trouble for others. Besides, now the Xishan Money House is free from renting land, so the family has also divided the land? How can I let it be deserted? I came back and occasionally made some things, and with your cousins ​​to help me, I can find some food in this land. And when I come back here, I feel comfortable. Why is the son back? Is Shangguan extra kindness... "

Zhou Yi was silent for a moment. He couldn't say that he had come back, so he just nodded.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. If you take a break, your mother will cook for you. You must be hungry. I'm stupid. You must be in the army, so you will definitely not be full."

She was about to turn around and continue burning firewood.

Zhou Yi stubbornly stopped him: "I'll do it, I'm the most familiar with the cooking room."

“What kitchen?”

Zhou Yi: “…”

Zhou Yi took out the dried fish from his bag. The dried fish was bought when he was in Ningbo. Now the dried fish has become a specialty of Ningbo. Zhou Yi saved some salary, not to mention... there is also the cost of severance. He still has more than a dozen taels of silver on hand, but it is no problem to buy some dried fish.

Immediately afterwards, he made a fire, boiled water, washed vegetables, and selected vegetables...

After a while, a few side dishes were ready.

She was placed in front of Zhou's mother, and Zhou's mother stood on the stove, smelling a scent, and was shocked.

Zhou Yi said: "I am back for the first time today and call a few uncles and brothers."

In this small village, many people knew that Zhou Yi was back.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yi has no father since he was a child. In the village, Zhou Yi's family is the poorest, and they rely on the help of uncles and cousins, so they barely survived, otherwise the orphan and widowed mother would have starved to death.

When Zhou Yi was going to join the army, many people sympathized with him.

After all... If it weren't for the fact that there was no livelihood, who would have done that, it would have become a military household, which was embarrassing.

People even believe that Zhou Yi may never come back in his life.

Now that I heard that Zhou Yi was back, my uncle Zhou Kang seemed quite happy, but when he saw Zhou Yi, he was stunned.

In fact, every relative was frightened when he saw Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi's temperament is obviously completely different from the people in this small village. Although it has only been more than a year, people have found that Zhou Yi gives people a feeling of being out of place.

People who farm are already dealing with the soil, so they are dirty and muddy, so people are no longer surprised.

But Zhou Yi was also wearing a cloth dress, which was simple and unpretentious, but the cloth dress looked very clean. Even though he had just finished cooking and burned firewood, he still cleaned his noodles and hands after cooking.

Other people's teeth are covered with dirt, but when Zhou Yi smiled, his teeth were neat.

Not only that, he looked much stronger, with his waist straight and his speech calmly. Zhou Yi was a foolish boy before, but now...

In this family, the uncle who claims to be the most experienced in life actually found that when he talked to him, he seemed to be shorter.

Compared with Zhou Yi, the other cousins ​​are really in the sky and in the ground.

For example, the table and long stool are arranged.

When other brothers saw the dried fish, they drooled and were happily rushing to sit on, but Zhou Yi was not slow and asked his uncle to sit down first. He sat down after everyone else sat down. When the others ate, they were all reincarnated by starving ghosts. Zhou Yi tasted quickly, but he was very sensible, giving people a sense of being a big meal, but he still had a sense of etiquette.

All of this subverted Zhou Kang's impression.

Because Zhou Kang had never seen military households. All of them were thinner than their children, weaker and weaker, looking in a daze.

During the meal, it is inevitable to talk about something.

When Zhou Kang talked about the land for rent-free in Xishan Money House, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is something that has not happened in a thousand years. We are in Ningbo with many people and few land. Each family can only rent five or six acres of land. Oh... it's a little less, but I can farm and eat it by myself, and my life... I can finally live. Thanks to Duke Qi. Duke Qi is really a charity. Tell me, where can I rent land for others in this world, and I don't have any money or food?"

When Zhou Yi heard the three words "Duke of Qi" and his eyes shone, he felt his back straightened again, because... the first army all considered himself the soldiers of the emperor and Duke of Qi.

But when I thought I was sent back, I felt sad again... He said nothing and just nodded. "My uncles and brothers, my mother is at home and I am taking care of you. The land at home is also something that everyone helps to take care of. I will get up early tomorrow and take care of your land first and then take care of myself."

He only said one sentence and continued to remain silent.

Everyone just smiled. He is alone... with limited abilities, what can he help?

But on the second day, before dawn, Zhou Yi's voice was heard in the village. He shouted slogans of one, two, three, and four, and actually got up early in the morning light.

At this time, many people were still lazy, but he was energetic. Without saying a word, he took the farm tools out.

When everyone finally got off the ground, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

This... is a beast.

The cows from the wealthy families in the village are not as capable as him.

This is the time for autumn harvest.

I saw Zhou Yi tirelessly holding a sickle and harvesting rice handfuls.

When harvesting rice, people have to squat down and work for a while. They must straighten their backs and take a break.

But Zhou Yi doesn’t!

He was extremely patient and used both hands and feet. After he continued to collect the rice, the rice covered with golden ears piled up like mountains.

Then... he packed up the rice, tied them up, and took on the load neatly.

For ordinary people, twenty or thirty pounds are the limit.

After all... people at this time, although they do farm work every day, they cannot get enough nutrition. No matter how much they are, they can't bear it and their bodies will be damaged.

But Zhou Yi seemed to have a sense of recklessness.

Seeing that he had picked up hundreds of pounds, Zhou Yi seemed to be very relaxed and seemed to feel that it was not enough. His feet were walking very fast, and he could be said to be as fast as he could fly." The third family raised a cow, but why didn't he see it at the beginning? "Zhou Kang looked confused and showed envy. He looked back at his few pale and thin sons, all of whom looked thin and thin, and there seemed to be disgust in his eyes.

This is Zhou Yi, more than three.

When I was free, a group of relatives immediately surrounded him and asked about his well-being.

Zhou Yi only wiped his sweat: "In three days, all the rice here will be harvested. Oh, it doesn't matter. In fact, it's not too tired. It's not too hard, and it will be done until dark."

Uncle Zhou Kang said excitedly: "At noon, let your aunt find some of the marinated meat at home and drink some wine. This meat... is very rare... I was saved for the holiday..."

"Marinated meat? Is it beef or pork?" Zhou Yi asked subconsciously.

"What, beef?" Zhou Kang widened his eyes, and the white beard on his jaw kept trembling, as if he had never seen the world before.
