The moat outside the Xizhi Gate that was filled by the Tartars has been re-dug up, and the damaged city wall has also been repaired, however, the moat can be restored, and the city wall can be repaired, but the losses caused by this war to the Ming Dynasty and the trauma brought to the people of the capital are definitely not recoverable in a short time.

The Tartars broke through the outer city, burned and looted, not only robbed food and property, but also kidnapped people, mainly adult men and women, because in the eyes of the Tartars, slaves are also a kind of wealth, and a kind of high-quality wealth with low input and continuous high output, even more cost-effective than cows and sheep that eat grass and milk ~ milk.

As a result, the outer city was almost empty, and the industrial chain was almost completely destroyed. Of course, there were only tens of thousands of people who were actually taken out of exile by Alta, but the vast majority of the people fled because they were afraid.

Therefore, the capital, which used to have a population of one million, is now extremely deserted, a depressed and bleak scene, and unkempt refugees, wandering the streets like lonely ghosts......

Xu Jin heard that Ruyi had already given birth, and entered the capital from Guangning Gate with joy, but the scene in front of him made him feel inexplicably heavy, and he subconsciously slowed down.

Seeing this, Xie Sangun and Zhao Datou and other personal soldiers also slowed down, and the guards slowly beat their horses around Xu Jin, and the refugees on the street all avoided in fear when they saw this posture.

Straight along Guangningmen Street is Caishi Street, one of the most lively street markets in the outer city, always crowded with people on weekdays, but now it is deserted, only a dozen stalls are doing business.

Xie Sangun couldn't help muttering: "It's worse than the vegetable markets in our county, alas, is this the capital of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhao Datou and other personal soldiers were also concerned, Xu Jin was silent, continued to fight his horse forward, and turned into Xuanwumen Street, where there was a lot of people, very lively, and people lined up a few long lines.

Zhao Datou said happily: "It's quite popular here, and it's a little bit like that." ”

"Hey, it seems that there are good people who are giving porridge to refugees." Guo Jindiao's eyes were sharp, and he sighed lightly.

Everyone took a closer look and found that there were really people who were giving porridge to refugees, and there was more than one stall, and the largest porridge stall was just in front of the SF Carriage and Horse Shop, which was probably made by SF Carriage and Horse Dealership.

Xu Jin nodded secretly, and accelerated the speed to pass, so as not to affect the refugees who were queuing up to divide the porridge equally.

Xu Jin stared at it, and his face couldn't help showing a strange look, only to see that there was a fat young scholar behind the porridge stall, who was shouting loudly to direct the servants to distribute porridge to the refugees.

This obsessive young scholar glanced at him, and it was Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song.

At this time, Xie Sangun obviously recognized it, and laughed: "Isn't this kid Yan Deqiu, a one-eyed fat man who often messes with a group of nobles?" He actually came to give soup to the refugees, could it be that the sun came out of the west? ”

Xu Jin glanced at Yan Shifan, who was like a smiling Buddha from a distance, and the strange color on his face became even stronger.

Yan Song is a famous traitor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and his son Yan Shifan's reputation is not much better, the two fathers and sons are simply a raccoon dog, not a good bird, and now this thing is braving the cold to give porridge on the street, it is estimated that it is also a fame!

Of course, Xu Jin does not despise people who sell their reputations, on the contrary, if a person does do good deeds, smashes real money, and lets the people get benefits, then it is not too much for him to gain some fame. Xu Jin was just a little curious about what Yan Song's father and son had in mind when they tossed so much, after all, fame could not be converted into an official position.

Yan Song in history seems to have won the appreciation of Emperor Jiajing by writing green words, and finally even leaned towards the government and the opposition, controlling the government for 20 years, the father and son were called "big prime minister" and "little prime minister", even the prince had to look at their faces, which shows how monstrous the power of the two is.

It's just that Jiajing after his own "transformation" is no longer the Jiajing in history, he is not obsessed with cultivating immortals and practicing the Tao, so even if Yan Song's green words are written well, they are useless, and naturally they will lose the opportunity to climb up.

So Xu Jin was a little curious about whether Yan Song, the great traitor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, would have some "action", but judging from the act of soup porridge, Yan Song was obviously not willing to sink!

However, whatever he does, he has his own presence, and he will definitely not let the father and son turn over the storm, and he will hammer him if he dares to take the lead!

Xu Jin walked towards Xuanmen under the protection of a group of guards, and gradually walked away, Yan Shifan, who was smiling and distributing porridge to the refugees, put down the spoon and wiped his hands with a handkerchief, then looked up and glanced at Xu Jin's back, and a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes.

…………

The inner city is much cleaner than the outer city, and the five city soldiers and horses guard the gate, and refugees are not allowed to enter the inner city.

At this moment, the atmosphere of Xu Mansion is not ordinarily warm, and the people are in high spirits one by one, cleaning up the inside and outside of the house, whether it is a maid or a housekeeper, walking with the wind, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are filled with a kind of festivity.

Not long ago, the second lady and the third lady gave birth smoothly, I heard that the lord will also return home today, it is the three joys coming to the door, the house is booming, how can it not be festive?

Dabao, the housekeeper of the foreign house, has almost healed his leg injury, and at this moment, he is commanding the family Ding to decorate the façade in the front yard with a cane, preparing to welcome the old man back to his house.

At this moment, the porter Xu Shou rushed in from the outside, it was estimated that the ground was slippery after the snow, and the goods fell into a big fart, which scared everyone.

Dabao couldn't help scolding: "Xu Shou, you kid is in a hurry to reincarnate, why don't you fall to death!" ”

"Brother Bao, master, it's the master who has returned home!" Xu Shou got up in embarrassment, and pointed to the door with an exaggerated expression, unknowingly thinking that a flood beast had come outside.

"Xu Shou, you kid is full of food and hold on, when the old mansion returns to the city, he will go to see the emperor first, how can there be a reason to go back to the house first, see if Lao Tzu doesn't smoke you to death...... Ah" Dabao was raising his cane to knock Xu Shou, but suddenly as if he had been hit by a fixation spell, he stared straight at the courtyard door, his mouth was open enough to plug his fist.

I saw Xu Jinzheng, who was dressed in military uniform, striding in from the outside, followed by Xie Sangun and Zhao Datou and other personal soldiers.

"Old ...... Master! Dabao threw away his crutches, jumped forward and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Dabao, please say hello to the master!" ”

Xu Jin nodded, his footsteps did not stop, and went straight to the backyard, Dabao got up and followed up, while shouting: "Master is back home, quickly inform the ladies!" ”

The old man is back home!!

The old man is back home!!

The whole Xu Mansion jumped up and down instantly, the families ran to the backyard, and the maidservants also ran to the backyard, almost without beating gongs and drums!

In the warm pavilion in the backyard, a maid ran in panting and reported: "The eldest lady, the second lady, the third lady, the lord has returned to the house, and he is coming to the backyard!" ”

"Ah, Xianggong is back!" Xie Xiaowan was so happy that she stood up all of a sudden, and Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang, who were holding swaddling clothes, also stood up excitedly, the two pairs of beautiful eyes were full of joy, and the husband was back!
