Relatives get together, happy and harmonious.

After some friendly exchanges at the beginning, when Liang Yi came to his senses, the sky was already dark.

And the old men who led the way before have all disappeared.

Elder Tang greeted several people and walked towards the inner courtyard.

After passing the hut that Elder Tang came out of before, Liang Yi discovered that there is actually a hidden hole in it.

The hut that was originally thought to be a wing room was actually just a corridor. After bypassing the corridor, they entered the inner courtyard.

"The courtyard in front of me is my wheat field. I usually plant there and turn the soil. This is the courtyard where I rest."

Elder Tang was holding a small radish head, smiling and leading the way for Liang Yi and the others.

After entering the inner courtyard, Liang Yi realized that there were quite a few people here, and those who came and went were old women and middle-aged servants.

According to Mr. Tang's account in a low voice, these people are also from the village. Before Mr. Tang came, they were all poor households. Later, after Mr. Tang came, he recruited them to work. Most of them were widows and orphans. , but also to make him more relaxed.

Perhaps because of this, Liang Yi discovered that these servants and hired workers obviously respected Mr. Tang, and when they saw Mr. Tang, they would stop and say hello.

Not only that, Liang Yi also found a few children who looked a few years older than his own children.

These children were dressed in simple clothes, and some of them were still dripping with muddy water.

When these children saw Mr. Tang, they all nodded respectfully, calling them "Master"

Elder Tang waved his hand cheerfully, and then these children would come to a well in the courtyard. After several people took turns helping to pick out water from the well, they helped each other scrub their bodies with water.

After washing and drying the water stains on their bodies with their coats, they also left, but turned around and ran into a room together.

When the room was opened, Liang Yi could vaguely see that there seemed to be several children in the room, some big and some small, some were playing around, and some were holding a book, comparing with the children already in the room. In the dim light of the sky, I am studying hard.

Seeing Liang Yi stamped his feet and looking towards his study, Elder Tang stroked his beard and said with emotion on his face.

"That's my private school. When I came here, I saw these half-grown children, maybe they couldn't escape the habit of being a teacher in the past, so I recruited a few children who wanted to read and understand, and let them listen to lectures and read books in the evening. I don’t ask them to be able to read knowledge, but just let them understand some worldly truths.”

"When you came before, I was giving them a lecture, and now it's almost time, and they will go back after a while."

Liang Yi knew that his teacher was a dean of the Luming Academy in Kyoto before he became the Minister of the Household Department. He taught there for nearly ten years, and the Luming Academy was also the place where he made his fortune. Ming Academy was able to worship Mr. Tang as a teacher, and he would step by step from a poor scholar to the position of Minister of the Household Department.

He originally thought that his teacher had been living a stable life as a rich man after resigning from his old age and returning to his hometown. Even if the teacher said that he was farming, the picture that appeared in his mind at that time was a vicissitudes old man holding a medicine bag in his hand. The hoe was tending a field of wheat that was less than a centimeter in size.

It is better to say that it is a land for his entertainment than a wheat field.

I never expected that after I came here, I found out that this old man is still glowing and glowing at this age. He is both a teacher and a farmer. His body is amazing.

When Liang Yi was moved by Mr. Tang, when he turned his head and saw the strong pectoralis major of the teacher, the sentimentality in his heart subsided a lot unconsciously.

Maybe the mentor is also enjoying it?

After a brief introduction, because Liang Yi can be regarded as defected this time, he brought a lot of softness.

But Elder Tang seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Before Liang Yi could react, under the arrangement of Elder Tang, their things were brought to the two wing rooms one by one by those old women's servants.

One wing was for them and the other was for their children.

Elder Tang also arranged two women for them to send.

Elder Tang arranged for Liang Yi and the others to rest in this yard that night.

The loyal servant Tang Lao he brought along naturally also arranged for them, and the housekeeper in the courtyard arranged a residence for them.

After that, Elder Tang led them to the living room.

In the living room there is a long square table and several chairs.

These furniture also look rough and styled, but in fact they are full of details. When used, they do not give people a strange feeling, but an inexplicable harmony.

At this time, the lanterns had been lit in the house, and the dim candles lit up the room, making it extraordinarily warm.

After Elder Tang pulled them to their seats, he spoke to the housekeeper before he spoke to Liang Yi.

"You came late this time, so let's have a simple meal"

At this time, the sky was completely dark.

In this era, at this time, everyone is ready to sleep.

Meals are all eaten in the evening, and even those big families rarely turn on lights at night.

After all, wax oil is not cheap, and it is impossible for the landlord's family to be so extravagant.

The only ones that can be brightly lit, and only those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, can have this scene.

This is the village, and at night, the insects and frogs in the wheat fields start to play.

Elder Tang's front yard was a wheat field, so sitting in the yard, they could hear the cries of frogs and crickets.

In such an environment, the mentor is in front of him, and the family is next to him.

At this moment, Liang Yi felt that he would never forget tonight in his life.

Moved, Liang Yi completely let go of the restraints he still had. When the food was served, everyone started to eat as soon as Mr. Tang moved his chopsticks.

There is no big fish or meat, just a plate of coarse grain steamed buns, with some pickles and pickles, lettuce and dipping sauce.

But Liang Yi and others also ate very happily.

Including those three children.

Because when this dish is in Kyoto, they often eat it like this.

Liang Yi knew that in the capital, some officials with smaller positions than him might eat more delicate and sumptuous meals than him.

Not to mention those mansions with open doors.

But no matter what other people do, his food has been at this level since he left Luming Academy, and it has never changed.

The only few times when he had a lot of fish and meat were his wedding banquets and the banquets of his child's full moon.

Even though he was often squeezed out and ridiculed by those officials, Liang Yi never changed anything because of it.

He is a real so-called poor family disciple.

If it weren't for Mr. Tang, he would never have been able to study in his life.

If Elder Tang hadn't brought him to the academy and later accepted him as an apprentice, he would probably still be in the countryside now, perhaps chopping firewood and picking manure, or digging the soil to do labor.

It is precisely because he has experienced it that, no matter what others think of him, he has never improved the quality of his life because of it.

For him, a steamed bun and a stack of side dishes are enough.

Fortunately for him, his wife didn't complain to him because of this. Even though she was wearing old clothes and eating pickles, she still supported the family by bearing children for him without complaint or regret.

After dinner, Liang Yi didn't spoil the atmosphere by asking Mr. Tang other questions, but chatted about the daily routine together.

After Mr. Tang left, he told him all kinds of interesting things at home.

When talking about the children's naughty things, Mr. Tang was also shaken and laughed, stroked his beard, and teased a few children who started to restless after eating.

After all, it was a tiring journey, and after eating and drinking enough, a sense of sleepiness began to surge up.

After seeing that they were beginning to be exhausted, Elder Tang immediately arranged for them to rest.

Liang Yi originally wanted to chat with the teacher a few more words, but he was too sleepy, and finally thought that there was no rush anyway, so he helped Wen back to the house with a lantern.

The child was taken to the room by several women.

In Mr. Tang's home, Liang Yi naturally wouldn't worry about what would happen to the child.

So, after returning to the room, the husband and wife lay on the bed, said a few words to each other, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Elder Tang returned to his room after they left.

He wanted to go straight to sleep, but suddenly heard three regular knocks on the door.

There was a pause on the already tired face. Elder Tang reached out and rubbed his face. When he put it down again, his face had regained some energy. Then he walked forward, unhooked the door stopper, and opened the door.

"Old Tang! Talking late at night is really offensive!"

I saw outside the door, at this time, there was a man wearing a close-fitting bunt jacket, a black buttoned hat, and a black gauze on his face. He looked like a masked man in black.

The whole body of this person is tightly covered, only a pair of eyes and a pair of sword eyebrows are exposed.

After seeing Mr. Tang, he knelt on the ground on one knee, and apologized to Mr. Tang.

"Hey, what are you doing? Quick! Come in and talk first!"

Elder Tang hurriedly helped him up first, then pulled him into the room, poked his head out to look left and right, and after confirming that no one was there, he closed the door and put down the door stopper.

After the masked man entered the door, he pulled off the gauze on his face, revealing a rather handsome face.

After Elder Tang turned his head, he arched his hands respectfully, and said to Elder Tang as if reporting.

"Mr. Tang, we have already cleaned up the tail behind Liang Situ, and we also used some tricks on the way. We can ensure that no matter whether it is the capital or other places, no trace of Liang Situ will be found."

Elder Tang nodded after hearing this.

Then the man in black continued.

"Mr. Tang, according to our informant, Dawan led troops to invade Chenghuai Dongyi at the beginning of the month. Because of the sudden incident and the fact that Dawan came prepared, the frontier defense of Xiliang was completely destroyed in just a few hours. Falling, Dongyi fell into war, and when the Xiliang defenders arrived later, Dongyi had been massacred by Dawan people nearly a thousand people! Now the Xiliang army is fighting Dawan and Dongyi's border, and the emperor of Chu has ordered to attack Dawan. Want to start a crusade"

Old Tang Ting frowned, seeing the man in black with dry lips, he stretched out his hand to lead him to the table, poured him a cup of tea, and motioned him to drink first.

The man in black was obviously thirsty too, and after nodding thankfully to Mr. Tang, he drank the tea in one gulp.

"How is the famine situation?"

Elder Tang pondered for a while, then asked a question.

The man in black was clearly prepared for this. After Elder Tang opened his mouth, he accurately reported to Elder Tang the current disaster situation in Chu State, including what Bishop Ling had done during the disaster.

Tang Laoben pursed his lips when he heard the severity of the disaster, and he couldn't help but slapped the table when he heard that Bishop Ling was giving out food.

"This spiritual bishop really appeared again! Humph, donating food to disaster relief? Buying and selling food from our country's treasury, using old grain and old rice to show kindness, and secretly carrying out the act of buying and selling people! Chu Longcheng, Chu Longcheng, what on earth do you want to do? ! "

Elder Tang's tone was full of resentment and helplessness, as well as his incomprehension of the current crown prince.

From his words, he obviously already knew the relationship between the bishop Ling and Longcheng.

When the man in black said about Bishop Ling, he also frowned, with coldness in his eyes, obviously he knew about Bishop Ling.

"Mr. Tang, now, the country of Chu is suffering from natural disasters and man-made disasters. I'm afraid. I'm afraid it will affect you in the future. Now Chu country is not safe. I think we should move it so that you will be safer."

When the man in black talked about natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Chu Kingdom, he did not say the following four words "the country is not long".

Elder Tang glanced at the man in black.

This is not the first time he has persuaded him to leave.

but

Thinking of his identity and their plans, Elder Tang sighed inwardly, and then spoke.

"I said at the beginning that the reason why I made the move was out of pity. When I made the move, I was already prepared for the consequences. It's all out of my heart"

"My life has been ups and downs, I have seen all kinds of things in this world clearly, and I have long been indifferent to the prosperity of the dynasty. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can cultivate grain seedlings that can make the people of the world eat a few more bowls of rice. This is my lifelong wish, my heart Wherever you go, you will not waver"

"I have been here for so many years to achieve this situation, and I am about to achieve something. At this time, how could I leave? The old man is also very grateful to you for helping me so much, and for me. Protection, but I can’t help you with what you ask. Now I’m just an old farmer, life and death are just a blink of an eye. that's it"

Mr. Tang's words came from the heart, with sincere emotion, and the eyes of the man in black who listened to him went from flat at first to dignified, and finally to admiration.

Although he had known for a long time that Mr. Tang was such a person, after hearing Mr. Tang's words, he only had a feeling of looking up at the mountains.

At this moment, in his mind, Elder Tang was undoubtedly on par with the sages, even the Emperor Chu was not as noble as half a hair of the man in front of him.

As the one who followed and protected Mr. Tang all the way here, he has really seen what Mr. Tang has done in the past few years.

The old man in front of him was just as he said, just to let the people in the world eat a few more bowls of rice, so he resolutely chose to retire as a courtier, came to this poor mountain and ridged place, and started cultivating grain seedlings alone.

In the past three years, he has been working, thinking and researching every day for three years. Through him alone, little by little, he has changed this Liu Anzhuang into what it is now.

The wheat fields outside were planted by him and the people in the village from scratch with a hoe and a shovel.

In his eyes, if what Elder Tang did was successful, it would be a great event for the whole world of Zefu and all the people of Zefu.

This matter is no less than the creation of characters by sages and making fire, which must be passed down forever!

It was precisely because of this that they respected Mr. Tang so much and were willing to support him.

It's just so that this old man who is walking on the path of sages can put his heart and soul on the path he wants to walk, so that he can go further and walk more steadily.
