Zhu Houzhao was not in a good mood today, but now hearing these words, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

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

He turned his head while walking, and said to Liu Jin: "Grandson, find someone to go in and clean up these dog things, and vent your anger on His Majesty, but remember that you must never let anyone know your identity."

"God." Liu Jin nodded, knowing that it was time for him to show his face in front of His Majesty, so he hurriedly said, "Then what reason are you looking for?"

Yes, there must always be a reason.

Otherwise... people will inevitably suspect something.

Fang Jifan gave Liu Jin a strange look.

This bastard is becoming less and less like the Liu Jin in history.

You, Liu Jin, want to beat someone, do you still need a reason?

Fang Jifan thought deeply for a moment, and then came out of his mouth word by word: "You...see...what?"

Liu Jin said: "What are you looking at?"

"Then beat me up, stop talking, get out!"

Liu Jin fled and ran away.

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, cursing in his mouth: "I don't know these bastards, hmph, it's really unreasonable."

Fang Jifan comforted: "Your Majesty, in fact, what they said is also reasonable. Isn't the military man always a military man? This kind of status has existed since ancient times. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is the case. Their knowledge is nothing. .”

With hands behind his back, Zhu Houzhao said through gritted teeth, "They are all my soldiers!"

Even though he said this, such an answer is powerless, because it breaks the sky, and people's prejudices are not so easy to break through.

…………

Half a month later.

Zhou Yi returned to Ningbo Mansion.

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

This is a place that even the government is too lazy to manage. In the entire south, there are countless hills and deep mountains and old forests, and countless people are distributed among these countless deep mountains and ravines.

Zhou Yi carried his luggage and walked along the familiar mountain road. When he saw thatched huts here and there, he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

The village has already raised cooking smoke.

Zhou Yi found his home.

This is a hut. Zhou Yi has lost his father since he was a child, and he is dependent on his mother. If he really couldn't survive, he would not join the army, and his mother was sent to his sister who was married. take care of the house.

Zhou Yi would send back some of his salary from time to time, as mother's daily necessities.

He originally thought that his mother should still be at his sister's house dozens of miles away, but when he opened the door, he saw an old woman burning firewood inside.

"Mother..." When Zhou Yi saw his mother, he couldn't help but have red eyes.

He dropped his luggage, subconsciously bent his knees, and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Ah, is the boy back?" The hut was very dark, and Mother Zhou's eyesight was not good, so she fumbled and tried to get up.

Zhou's mother looked very surprised, thinking that it would take at least a few years for her son to come back.

Zhou Yi hurriedly got up and helped Zhou's mother: "Why is mother back? What is the reason for this? Is it from my brother-in-law..."

Zhou's mother shook her head quickly: "It's not that they dislike it, it's just...their family suddenly has an extra mouth, and my mother feels very sorry. I, an old woman, don't have to add trouble to others. Besides, the rent-free land of Xishan Bank is now, and the family has also divided the land. How can I let it be deserted? I will come back and make some occasionally, and with the help of a few of your cousins, I can find some food in this field, and I will feel at ease when I come back here. Why do you come back? Huh? Is it because Shangguan is extra merciful..."

Zhou Yi was silent for a while, he couldn't say that he came back in a hurry, so he just nodded.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, you take a rest, mother will cook for you, you must be hungry, silly boy, you must not be full in the army."

She will turn around and continue to burn wood.

Zhou Yi stubbornly stopped him: "I'll come, I'm familiar with the kitchen."

"What kitchen?"

Zhou Yi: "..."

Zhou Yi took out the dried fish from his bag. The dried fish was bought when he was passing through Ningbo. Now the dried yellow croaker has become a specialty of Ningbo. Zhou Yi has saved some salary, not to mention...there is also the cost of dismissal. I still have more than a dozen taels of silver on hand, so buying some dried fish is a no-brainer.

Immediately afterwards, he lit a fire, boiled water, washed vegetables, and chose vegetables...

After a while, a few small dishes will be ready.

Putting it in front of Zhou's mother, Zhou's mother was standing on the stove, smelling a fragrance, and was terribly shocked.

Zhou Yi said: "I came back today and called some 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, relying on the help of his uncles and cousins ​​to survive. Otherwise, the orphans and widows would have starved to death long ago.

When Zhou Yi wanted 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 be willing to do that, then he would become a military household, shame on him.

People even thought that Zhou Yi might never come back for the rest of his life.

Now that he heard that Zhou Yi was back, the uncle Zhou Kang seemed quite happy, but he was taken aback when he saw Zhou Yi.

In fact, every

A relative was terrified when he saw Zhou Yi.

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

People who farm the land have already dealt with the soil, so they are all dirty and muddy, and people have long seen it.

But Zhou Yi was also wearing a plain cloth, unpretentious, but the cloth looked very clean, even though he had just finished cooking and burned firewood, he still cleaned his face and hands after cooking.

Others' teeth were covered with dirt, but when Zhou Yi smiled, his teeth were clean.

Not only that, he looks a lot stronger, his back is straight, and he speaks calmly. Previously, Zhou Yi was a foolish boy, but now...

Among this family, the uncle who claims to have the most experience in life, unexpectedly finds that... when he talks to him, he seems to be a bit shorter.

The other cousins, compared with Zhou Yi, are really on a par with each other.

For example, the table and benches are set up.

When the other brothers saw the dried fish, they cheered one by one and wanted to sit up happily, but Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, let the uncle take the seat first, and waited for everyone else to sit down before he sat down. When people eat food, they are reincarnated from starvation ghosts. Zhou Yi eats food quickly, but he is orderly, giving people a feeling that this guy eats a lot, but he still has a sense of courtesy.

All this overturned Zhou Kang's impression.

Because it's not that Zhou Kang has never seen military households. Those military households are all thinner and weaker than his own children, and they are all weak and muddled.

During the meeting, it is inevitable to talk about some things.

When Zhou Kang talked about the rent-free land of Xishan Bank, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: “This is something that has never happened in a thousand years. We have a lot of people in Ningbo and little land. Some, but you can plant the land and eat it yourself, and the days... Finally, it is thanks to Qi Guogong, Qi Guogong is really a kind person, tell me, where in this world is there anyone who rents land to others without money and food?"

As soon as Zhou Yi heard the word Qi Guogong, his eyes lit up, and he felt his waist straightened again, because... the first army all believed that they were soldiers of the emperor and Qi Guogong.

But thinking that he was sent back, he felt sad again... He didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Uncles and brothers, my mother is at home and is taken care of by you. The land at home is also taken care of by the big guys. I will get up earlier tomorrow to take care of your land first, and then take care of myself."

He only said one sentence, and then continued to remain silent.

Everyone just smiled, he alone...has limited ability, what can he help?

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

At this time, many people were still lazy, but he was full of energy, and without saying a word, he went out with the farm tools.

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

This...is a livestock.

The cattle of the big family in the village are not as capable as him.

At this time... it is the time of autumn harvest.

I saw Zhou Yi carrying the sickle tirelessly, harvesting rice by the handful.

Ordinary people have to squat down to harvest rice, and they have to work for a while, and they have to straighten up to rest.

But Zhou Yi no!

His endurance was astonishing, and he used both hands and feet. After harvesting all the way, it didn't take long for the rice grains full of golden ears to pile up like a mountain.

Immediately afterwards...he picked up the rice, gathered them up, tied them up, and picked up the load swiftly.

For ordinary people, twenty or thirty catties is the limit.

After all... At this time, although people do farm work every day, their nutrition is not enough. No matter how much it is, they will not be able to bear it, and their health will deteriorate.

But Zhou Yi seemed to have a sense of recklessness.

Seeing what he picked up, it weighed over a hundred catties, but Zhou Yi seemed to be very relaxed this time, as if he didn't feel that it was enough, his feet walked very fast, it can be said that he walked like flying.

"The third son's family has a cow. Why didn't you see it at the beginning?" Zhou Kang was stunned, showing envy, and then looked back at his sallow and emaciated sons. With disgust.

This week, Zhou Yi is alone, more than three.

When he was free, a group of relatives immediately surrounded him and asked about his health.

Zhou Yi just wiped off his sweat: "In three days, all the rice here will be harvested. Oh, it's not a problem. In fact, it's not too tiring. It's not too hard. It's okay to work until dark."

Uncle Zhou Kang said excitedly: "At noon, ask your aunt to find some salted meat at home and drink some wine. This meat...is very rare...it was saved for the festival..."

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

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