made a decision, Princess Jianwen made up her mind, and when she arrived in the county seat, she did not live in an inn, but found a family to spend the night.

There is only one white-haired old woman in this family, after Princess Jianwen and they lived, the old woman was about to go to get food, Princess Jianwen stopped, and then Princess Jianwen asked the old woman to sit down, looking at the old woman's house did not look like a poor person, and asked curiously about this old woman, why is there no one at home.

"My wife has died a long time ago, and my two sons have not come back since they went west."

Princess Jianwen said sorry, the old woman said that it was nothing, she also asked the magistrate, and the magistrate said that the two were not killed in battle, but were just on an errand in Na Xirong.

When Lin Shao heard this, he asked, according to the rules of the imperial court, if the old woman only has two sons, then only one is needed.

"This young master, having said that, but that conscription was to go to Xirong, which went deep into the barren land, who is willing, this rich naturally wants to escape, and it doesn't matter if you don't have money. Don't look at my house so spacious now, at that time my house was only one room, and my two sons said that if they stayed at home, they would not be able to start a family and live as coolies in the city. In this way, it is better to fight to the death, with good luck, and with a lot of military achievements, you can start a family and glorify your ancestors. ”

When Princess Jianwen heard this, she sighed and said that since these two people are fine, then there is no need to worry too much, and when the time comes, they will come back.

"I'm going to come back, but I don't know if the old body will be able to see them for the last time."

The meaning of this was very sad, but the old woman said it in a calm tone, as if she was saying something insignificant.

Princess Jianwen didn't say anything, she wanted to comfort, but she didn't know how to comfort, she had heard in the court, Xirong's side was not peaceful, Ulysses IV was a vassal to the Yu Dynasty, which made many people in Xirong dissatisfied. In addition, Ulysses IV wanted to learn from the civil system of the Yu Dynasty, and many nobles opposed it.

Today's saints don't care about Xirong's affairs, in the eyes of today's saints, the only thing they care about is the Anxi Protectorate, as long as the Anxi Protectorate is in the hands of the Yu Dynasty, the imperial capital will be insignificant.

Therefore, the saint did not send people to change the guard, nor did he transfer these people back, but every year, he gave ten taels of silver to the soldiers' families.

Princess Jianwen and the old woman talked, and the old woman had no one to accompany her for a long time, chattering about rural life.

These trivial things, if they were replaced by others, would have been impatient for a long time, but Princess Jianwen has been growing up in the deep palace and has never been exposed to these, so she listens to them with relish.

Lin Shaowen also listened to it, and said a few words from time to time, he hadn't experienced it either, but he looked at those, some of them were mentioned above, so he knew some.

However, most of these were written by literati, and there was a big gap between them and real farmers, so some of the ideas were taken for granted.

Lin Shaowen found that these small people are not so ignorant, they are the same as himself, but they are middle-aged people, although they have not read and understand the big truth, but they know much more about daily affairs and human relations than themselves.

After a night's rest, the next morning, Princess Jianwen asked how the county was, and the old woman kept silent about these things.

Princess Jianwen didn't want to ask much, and left with Lin Shaowen.

Along the way, Princess Jianwen has seen a lot of things, and she has also seen a lot of small people. Although the lives of these small people are not as rich as she thinks, they are still passable.

Entering the territory of Canghai Mansion, the situation is different, and this Canghai Mansion gives Princess Jianwen the feeling that there are too many beggars.

When I entered the county seat, there were beggars begging inside, but the guards didn't give them and gently pushed them away.

This is the case in three counties in a row, and when the fourth county was Daxing County, Princess Jianwen said to Lin Shaowen: "Lin Xianggong, why are there so many beggars in this Canghai Mansion?" ”

Lin Shaowen said that there were fewer beggars in Haining County, and then Lin Shaowen told his father.

After hearing this, Princess Jianwen thought it was very reasonable, why didn't everyone in the world do this, so that these beggars could have something to do.

Lin Shaowen said that he needed too much silver, and the gentry were very reluctant to give this silver to help, as for the yamen, the court was worried that even if the silver was put down, the local government would not be able to help these people at that time.

This point of view was not Lin Shaowen came up with, the last time he dealt with him and Ye Shixi to deal with the lock gang, he said this to Ye Shixi, Ye Shixi told him, this idea is good, but it is really difficult to implement, the imperial court originally had a lot of policies to benefit the people, but when they arrived at the local yamen, it became an excuse to loot the people's wealth.

For example, when the saint celebrated his birthday, he was originally pardoned and taxed, but when he arrived at the local yamen, he asked the people under his rule to contribute money in the name of celebrating his birthday, but the saint did not get any money, but ended up with an infamy.

After Princess Jianwen heard this, she asked Lin Shaowen if there was any other way, so many beggars looked pitiful.

Lin Shaowen told Princess Jianwen that most of these beggars are not worthy of pity, especially the young and strong, and now the court is building roads, as long as he is willing to contribute to serving others, then he will naturally have money.

They are good at what they don't want to do, and begging on the street is just for convenience, after all, begging doesn't require any labor, and they may not sweat at the end of the day.

After hearing this, Princess Jianwen thought that there was some truth, so she didn't ask any more.

The next day, after Princess Jianwen and her party left, this time Princess Jianwen saw that the surrounding scenery was good, so she stopped to watch, and when she set off again, she missed the accommodation.

But everyone didn't care, these guards all carried dry food, rice, tea condiments, and other things.

They found a place near the stream, where seven guards guarded while the others went in search of food.

These Ouchi guards were not bad, and it didn't take long for them to come back with a few rabbits and and other food.

After the group had eaten, the guards began to set up tents and give Lin Shaowen a rest, as for them, they just relied on resting in pairs.

At the second watch, the guards who were keeping vigil looked at the figure on the farthest fire, so they scolded, "Who is it? ”

The answer to the guard was a galloping spear, and the guard dodged and shouted, "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”

The guards all woke up at once, and then woke up Lin Shaowen, and said to Lin Shaowen: "Uncle, please go to the carriage to take shelter." ”

The carriage was made of three layers of wood, and if it weren't for a strong bow and crossbow, it wouldn't have been able to penetrate it.

Lin Shaowen didn't agree, he was in a hurry, he was only wearing a middle coat, he didn't know what was going on in the carriage, if he rushed in, he would make Princess Jianwen unhappy, and when the time came, he would not be able to explain it to the sage.

He put on his coat and stood in the driver's seat, looking out.

Soon Lin Shaowen saw a group of people walking out, all of whom were dressed as beggars and holding uneven weapons in their hands.

"You're trying to rebel, aren't you?"

Lin Shaowen scolded, and when these beggars heard this, they did not retreat, but continued to move forward.

When the guards saw this, they all unsheathed their swords and waited for them.

"We're here for the girl in the carriage, and if you're interested, leave the carriage behind, and let you live." A leader-looking figure spoke.

Lin Shaowen was not stupid, and said to them: "Even if we let it go, how can you let us go." ”

"Now, this is beyond your control, whether you believe it or not, I will stop here. You are a dart master, there is no need to bury your good life for a few taels of silver. ”

When one of the guards heard this, he asked who the men were.

This beggar is not stupid, and told the guards that he didn't need to inquire about his identity, he now sees that he is also in the same martial arts lineage, and gives them a chance.

Before he could finish saying this, the guard raised his sleeve, an arrow in his sleeve, and took the man's life.

Next, the guards made a move, they were all good in the martial arts, and these beggars didn't rely on the large number of people.

After a fierce battle, although the guards were also injured, the group of beggars left many corpses.

When the beggar fled and the guards were about to chase after him, Lin Shaowen said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, protect the princess, now that these people are here, let the magistrate go to investigate, you can know their identity." ”

After Lin Shaowen finished speaking, he asked Princess Jianwen in the carriage, and Princess Jianwen said that she would let a guard return to Daxing County to report to the official, but don't reveal her identity, just say that she is a dart master and escort people to Hailan City to get married.

Hearing this excuse, Lin Shao didn't even dare to say it, Princess Jianwen said to him: "Hmph, this is a fake, look at what kind of person this Zhixian is, what are you thinking." ”

When Lin Shao heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more. He sat in front of the car door himself and no longer rested.

At noon the next day, the guards returned, and with them came a group of catchers.

The head catcher stepped forward, looked at Lin Shaowen, and said arrogantly, "Who are you?" ”

"Little Ge Guangmu, it's my sister in this car." Lin Shaowen didn't think of any good names for a while, so he said Ge Guangmu's name.

After listening to the head catcher and asking which family he was going to marry, Lin Shaowen also casually said that he was still a little familiar with Hailan City.

After the head catcher finished asking, he asked Lin Shaowen to open the car door, and they wanted to check it.

Lin Shaowen said that his sister was a person to be married, and it was inconvenient for him to show up.

"Hmph, in that case, take out your spectrum, how can you get married for thousands of miles without a spectrum."

"This poor master, I don't understand what you say, when the dynasty goes out, you only need a road guide, when will you have to bring a spectrum?"

"Yes, but you are here to get married, how can you not bring the spectrum, don't talk nonsense, show the spectrum to the master."
