I’m The King Chapter 534: : Baiyang Village
There is more snow this winter than in previous years. The weather is always good for a few days, and then the north wind howls again. It is Xiong Jun's war horse, and it seems a bit difficult to walk on such a road.
With such weather, most people are naturally willing to stay at home. This autumn, Jishi City ushered in a bumper harvest, and the harvested grain was enough for everyone in Jishi City to survive this winter safely. A large number of logistics supplies seized by the Dayan Standing Army were gathered in Fufeng and Niulan Mountain Camp, which made Zhengdong Mansion feel at ease.
But in such weather, a group of people rode horses and walked slowly in the wind and snow. The leader was Gao Yuan, the highest leader of the East Governor's Mansion. Behind him, Yan Shenghao, the vice president, and He Lanxiong, the commander of the Eastern Field Army Group, followed, and there were only dozens of knights accompanying them.
Since announcing a series of rules and regulations for the restructuring, Gao Yuan has let go of the details and left Jiang Jiaquan and other literati to perfect some legal systems that are needed here. He himself led Yan Shenghao, He Lanxiong, etc. Several people started running around Jishi City.
In the past two years, countless fertile fields have been developed around Jishi City, and more and more villages are forming. These villages include villages where the Huns gather, and people who immigrated from various places in Liaoxi County. There are also some special villages, which are villages formed by retired soldiers who are injured and can no longer fight.
Today, Gao Yuan is going to such a village.
The Eastern Expedition Army gave these soldiers who retired due to injuries extremely preferential treatment. Not only did they receive a lot of pensions, but they also built unified houses outside Jishi City for them, and distributed cattle, farm tools, etc. One should need the livestock. Gao Yuan firmly believes that the only way for these people to live a happy life is to live comfortably. Only then can the soldiers who are still serving in the ranks have no worries and be able to fight bravely. They are a mirror, not only looking at these wounded soldiers. Also according to the levy of all the soldiers in the East Mansion.
He Dayou is very excited today, but also very frightened. Yesterday, the prefect of Jishi County, Wu Kai, Master Wu sent someone down to inform that the governor, General Gao Yuangao, would come to Baiyang Village for inspection. He got up early this morning , Under the thickest and tallest poplar tree in the center of the village, the bell was rang, and all the people in the village were gathered together, calling everyone together for nothing else. It was to clean up all the snow on the roads outside the village and the roads in the village. The big guys started working before dawn, and did their best to finish it until the sun was three shots, but the weather was not good. He was a little annoyed that the road that had just been cleared was covered with a layer of snow that had never stopped.
Looking up at the sky, the snow can't stop for a while, it seems that this work can't go on, so they call back the villagers and let everyone go back home. Put on your best clothes and meet at the entrance of the village.
For these soldiers who retired due to injuries, the military uniform is their best clothing. Maybe they have better clothes in the bottom of the box, but today, all the retired soldiers took out the clothes when they left the army. He was wearing that military uniform.
There are more than 200 retired and wounded soldiers gathered in Baiyang Village. and their families.
At noon, a group of people and horses appeared near the head of the line of sight. He Dayou immediately turned back excitedly and waved at the villagers. Get back to the two sides for me, the Fang family, take your doll and don't let him run around. And Er Niu, have you **** that vicious dog of yours, that dog bites strangers when it sees it, If you scare the governor, see if I don’t boil your dog and you into a pot of dog offal soup..."
He Dayou yelled incoherently, the soldiers looked serious, but the family members on one side couldn't help laughing, He Dayou couldn't help but be excited, when he was in the team, he was just a small whistle Chang, he never had a chance to meet Gao Yuan. In a battle, he lost a leg, so he retired and went to Baiyang Village. Because he has the highest rank in the army here, he became Baiyang Village as a matter of course. the village chief.
Today, he was going to see General Gao Yuangao.
Walking to Gaoyuan at the entrance of the village, he unexpectedly saw an army standing in front of him. People were all on crutches, or supporting each other, but they all stood upright. They were all wearing the uniforms of the Zhengdong Army. The navy blue clothes had been washed a little whitish, but they were clean.
"Salute!" He Dayou leaned on crutches with his left hand, clenched his fist with his right hand, knocked on his left chest, and shouted hoarsely. Behind him, more than two hundred retired soldiers, like He Dayou, clenched their fists at the same time, knocking on his left chest, making neat sounds.
Gao Yuan's eyes were a little red, and he got off his horse, "Repay the salute!" He shouted loudly, paying his highest respect to the soldiers who had left the army.
Yan Shenghao, who followed Gao Yuan closely, was extremely shocked in his heart. Looking at these disabled soldiers at this moment, still maintaining their military style and respect for Gao Yuan, he finally understood why he was the most elite army back then. , Still so vulnerable in front of the Zhengdong Army.
After He Lanxiong got off his horse, Gao Yuan returned a salute to these people, but his eyes fell on the family members behind these soldiers. He unexpectedly saw many women in traditional Hun costumes inside.
"He Dayou, the former head of the fifth sentinel of the third team of Fufeng Camp, reported to the general!" He Dayou said loudly.
Gao Yuan stepped forward and put his hands on He Dayou's shoulders, "Okay, okay, your name is He Dayou, a soldier from the old Fufeng camp, and now you are the village head of Baiyang Village?"
"Yes, General, I was wounded two years ago when I was fighting Zhao Guo, and I retired after I came back. When Jishi City was built, I was placed here to build Baiyang Village. The village head."
"He's a veteran too!" Gao Yuan looked at the crowd behind him, "How many disabled veterans are there?"
"General, there are a total of 217 retired soldiers due to injuries. Including everyone's family members, the whole village has a total of 1,025 people." He Dayou replied loudly.
"Come on, take me into the village, how about we take a look at your village?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"General, please." He Dayou stepped aside to make way for the road, "General, everyone in our village is living a very good life. The general built a house for us, and distributed the cattle and farm tools. Don't let us In the past two years, more and more wasteland has been cultivated, and all taxes have been exempted, and life is getting better and better.”
"You are all disabled soldiers here. It's not convenient to cultivate the fields, right?"
He Dayou laughed, "General, when we were in the army, the officers told us to help each other and form a team in order to survive better on the battlefield. We are naturally still a team here, Helping each other and exchanging needs, although each family has its own fields, we have formed multiple mutual aid groups when farming, and the work seems to be very easy, especially as more and more people in the village, Now we have more and more leisure, after this winter, we plan to reclaim some wasteland!"
He Lanxiong, who had been following Gao Yuan, couldn't bear it any longer, and interjected and asked, "He Dayou, why are there so many Huns women in your village? Where did they come from?"
"General He Lan!" He Dayou bowed to He Lanxiong. He Lanxiong and Gao Yuan had known each other very early, and the two armies fought side by side many times. He Dayou naturally recognized this Hun general. "When we retired, the army thought of everything for us. There was nothing lacking in material things, but the army couldn't help us find wives. We are all disabled. To be honest, it is difficult to find women who are willing to marry My own, but later the situation changed. There were many wandering Huns on the grassland, and there were a lot of women, and many of them dragged their children. These people couldn’t survive, and some of them came to us and married us. Disabled soldiers in the village, we have nothing to choose. It would be great to have a woman to live with you. Later, more and more Hun women came here. Therefore, in our village There are more Hun women, and many of them are also Huns, but now they are all wearing our clothes, so they are not so conspicuous.”
He Lanxiong felt a little sad when he heard He Dayou's words. Although Jishi City also recruited Huns, the Huns were so defeated. On the vast grassland, there are many orphans and widows still wandering around.
Gao Yuan was very happy. The arrival of these Hun women not only solved the personal problems of these soldiers, but also promoted the integration of two different races, which is what he always wanted. to do.
"Be nicer to these women~IndoMTL.com~ but don't make things difficult for them." Gao Yuan said.
He Dayou said with a smile: "General, don't worry about this, everyone only has one wife, and they are still counting on growing old together. Besides, these Hun women are not like our Dayan women. They are all very strong. They are all good at home work, and now they are the pillars of the family. At first, the language barrier was a little troublesome, but now they can already speak some Central Plains dialect, and we can also speak a few Huns, which is much more convenient.”
"That's good, that's good!" Gao Yuanmei said with a smile, "I see that there are a lot of dolls in this village. Is there a school in the village?"
"Not yet!" He Dayou said in embarrassment, "Our place is a bit far from the city."
Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Yan Shenghao, Yan Shenghao immediately expressed his opinion: "We will solve this problem as soon as we go back, and ask Taishou Wu to send a school officer immediately to set up a school here to teach children to read and write and solve the problem of enlightenment." /
"Yeah!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "This problem should be dealt with quickly, He Dayou, let's go to your house for a while, I really want to hear you talking about things in your village, by the way, I haven't eaten yet, Lunch is also settled at your house!"
