Jiming Mountain is not big, with a radius of only fifteen miles. The rebel party stationed about 1 soldiers here. After the battle last night, more than [-] soldiers were directly wiped out. The rest are old people and women who surrendered. As well as children, there are also some remnants and defeated generals. Most of these people are orphans and captives from the previous dynasty. They were forced to join the army and help the rebellion. This time, when officers and soldiers came to rescue them, many of them threw down their weapons and surrendered I just want to be able to survive.

Huo Jianhui handed over the matter of An Min directly to Li Xiangwen, and he and Tao Bao went back to Zhenjiang Biezhuang. They were going to pack their bags here and then return to the capital. This time, even Tao Ruilin and Lan Xi went with them.

After returning to Biezhuang, everyone went to battle and cleaned up all the things here, leaving nothing behind. Even if the remnants of the chaotic party came to take revenge afterwards, there was no evidence that they had settled here.

Besides, it is impossible for any rebellious party to appear. Last night they had already figured out all the internal and external connections of the rebellious party, and the positions of these people on the mountain. After careful identification, only one of them escaped. The so-called military adviser, because he had something to go down the mountain yesterday, so he escaped unharmed, and now he probably ran away long ago.

Huo Jianhui believed that the sea arrest document had already been sent out, and this man named Lu Quan would be caught sooner or later. When everything was almost packed, the whole army would gather and march towards the capital.

Before leaving, Lan Xi went back to her own yard, and handed over the yard directly to the manager of the Tao family in Zhenjiang. In addition, Ding Qian was also brought back to Beijing by Tao Bao. He felt that Ding Qian was useful to him. Maybe something else can be found out.

On the way back, in line with the policy of not disturbing the people, the officers and soldiers detoured when encountering cities, and built bridges when encountering water. Admired, on the contrary, those leftovers from the previous dynasty are no longer able to do it. They are all tired like something, and they seem to be lack of exercise.

Tao Bao asked Huo Jianhui what they would do with those old people, children, and women?Huo Jianhui said that he would send them directly to the iron mine in the north to dig with these people. After three years of digging, we will see how they are doing. If they perform well, they will be released.

Tao Bao understood this time, it turned out that this was a labor reform, but he was still worried that those children and old people would be able to do it?

Huo Jianhui answered Tao Bao like this at the time: "Bao'er, remember, sometimes you can't be too kind. After all, these people have been bandits for many years, and they are more or less tainted by bandits. Now don't give them any color." Look, I'm afraid they won't be able to change for a while. Going to mine is to let them know that they are no longer bandits, but ordinary people. If they make mistakes, they will be punished. This is already very kind. In the previous dynasty, he was beheaded on the spot long ago, and our methods are already light enough."

Tao Bao thought for a while and said: "Then can these people be made to commit crimes and meritorious deeds? That is, hand them over to us and let them work for us. Otherwise, tens of thousands of people will go to mine, and resettlement is also a problem."

Huo Jianhui said with a smile: "Even if we let them serve as soldiers, it's not now, we have to wait until a year later, let them suffer in the mine, and then we will bring them back, so that they will be grateful to us , Now they may all have resentment on them."

Tao Bao thought for a while: "I'm afraid it won't work. I think it's better to let these men go to the mine to mine first. The remaining old people, children, and women should be resettled not far from the mining area, and then they will be covered. Let these old people and women farm at home, and set up official schools, let these children go to school for free, teach them etiquette, righteousness and shame from an early age, tell them what should be done and what should not be done, so that when they grow up, they will have Their own ability to distinguish right from wrong, so that even if their family members want to rebel, they have to see if the children mean it. Besides, they are not stupid as adults. Who can bring them a prosperous life? Bring them death, and make a difference."

Huo Jianhui looked at Tao Bao with both eyes, ignoring his son playing with the puppy, he hugged Tao Bao in his arms, kissed him twice, "Bao'er, you are really a gift from heaven, These ideas of yours have solved our major problems. At the beginning, my father and I were worried about how to arrange and probate these people. This is all right, and the big problem has been solved. I will definitely ask my father to give you an official reward when I go back this time. Dangdang, you said how your brain grew, some problems that I think are difficult, how come you can solve them so easily."

After Tao Bao heard this, he said with a smile: "It goes without saying, I'm smart." After finishing speaking, he broke away from Huo Jianhui's embrace in embarrassment.

Child Zixuan was watching his little daddy and father playing kissing there, while he kissed the puppy in his arms, and said: "Dogs are the best, better than rabbits, and rabbits see us Just run, only you will play with me."

After Huo Jianhui heard his son's words, he rubbed his son with his hand and nodded, "Son, don't kiss puppies indiscriminately from now on, it's dirty, and besides, it's easy to get sick."

Zixuan looked at the puppy and said: "The dog is not dirty, Brother Xiaoxizi has bathed it." After speaking, she shook her head in front of Huo Jianhui's eyes.

Tao Bao hurriedly took the puppy and put it aside, then hugged the child in his arms, picked up a book beside him and began to read again. Huo Jianhui was tired from sitting in the car, so he went out to ride a horse, and talked to Song Zishan and the others He went, but he didn't know what he said specifically. It seems that it should be about the resettlement of these criminals. Tao Bao has done what he should say and do, and the rest is up to Huo Jianhui and others. How to do it, he can't control it anymore, now he just needs to take care of his son, he doesn't want his son to be taken hostage.

In fact, Tao Bao is too careful. To put it bluntly, he has read too many novels, so he said that these criminals are so tired, how can they have time to catch his son, and he can't take care of them. All of them were tied with ropes, and it was too late to escape the ropes.

Sometimes Tao Bao would secretly lift the curtain on the car window to look at the criminals behind, and saw them struggling to walk behind the line one by one. Some children were still very young, and the adults hugged and carried them Afterwards, Tao Bao felt very sorry for them, and then asked people to make more ginger soup for them, and also asked people to make some good ones for them to make them full. The old people who were in poor health along the way, He also let them sit in the wagon that escorted the grain and grass, and then asked them to hold the child, which increased the marching speed a lot.

Some of the inmates are still very grateful to them, and they don't dawdle there, they all follow them, hoping to get to the place earlier, and save the elderly and children from suffering.

Sometimes little Tao Zixuan also asked who Tao Bao and Huo Jianhui were. Tao Bao didn't know how to answer, so he gave the question to Huo Jianhui. Huo Jianhui answered very simply, saying that they all committed crimes. Those who went to the north to do labor, their parents, wives and children were worried, so they followed. Tao Bao added, "They are immigrants."

Child Zixuan heard his little dad told him the story of ecological migration, and thought that these people are like what his little dad said, these people want to go to a place with a good environment to earn a living, open up wasteland and farm again, and then have a good harvest in autumn. Harvest and feed a family.

Tao Bao saw that his son was still young, so that’s what he meant. He didn’t care if the child understood it or not, he just told him to be a useful person when he grows up, and he didn’t say anything else. What's the matter, the child is still young and he doesn't want to say that in the future he will succeed his father's class as the emperor or something. It is not good to instill such things in the child when he is too young.

Huo Jianhui was listening to the interaction between the father and the father, and his eyes were admiring to Tao Bao. His wife is very good at teaching children, otherwise the children could not be taught so well by him, he was very pleased.

If Tao Bao knew that Huo Jianhui was very pleased with him teaching his children, he would definitely roll his eyes in his heart. My son is smart and I, as a baby daddy, are easy to teach. If I am a fool, I will teach him all his life.

Two hundred miles away from the capital, Huo Jianhui and his party separated from the army. Brother Li Xiangwen went to the north to arrange for these criminals to make it easier for them. After all, the weather in the north is too cold, but many houses there are ready-made Yes, if the people can't live, they have to help them build houses. In short, these things are handed over to them and the local officials, and the rest of the people went to the capital collectively.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, he finally arrived at the boundary of the capital city. Tao Bao looked at the city wall that was getting closer and closer, and heaved a sigh of relief, but it must have arrived. Otherwise, his ass would be cut in half if he continued. Well, it’s mainly bumpy, no matter how thick the floor is, it’s useless. The main reason is that the car doesn’t have shock absorbers, so it just bounced all the way back. Tao Bao decided that he must get some shock absorbers back when he has time, otherwise he will still be on the road next time he goes out. I have to suffer.

A group of people entered the boundary of the capital, and at a place five miles away from the city gate, they met officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to welcome the prince's frame and the prince's guard of honor. , Seeing that this guy didn't look around, he looked straight at the person kneeling on the ground in front of him and said: "Excuse me, get flat", and then waved: "Return to Beijing".

The whole process took only 2 minutes, and he didn't even say a single extra word. This kind of person really made Tao Bao in the car speechless, and even Song Zishan immediately pouted and said, "This guy is really good at pretending. But it’s just him, if it’s someone else, I’m afraid I really can’t pretend to be in this position.”

Huo Jianhui didn't know what others said about him, and he didn't know what Song Zishan was muttering there, but he rode back to the car and got into the car with the curtain lifted.

Seeing people getting into the car, Tao Bao lowered the curtains and said, "Why are you back? Shouldn't you be riding outside the car and leading the team away?"

Huo Jianhui smiled: "I'm coming back to pick you two up in my car. When we enter Beijing, we have to sit on the imperial chariot, which is a symbol of imperial power."

Tao Bao tidied up and got out of the car with Huo Jianhui. Immediately, someone came over to help with the things. When Tao Bao looked up, he found that it was Yun Juan. The two brothers, Yun Shu, smiled and said, "It's okay, just put the things here. It’s troublesome to move back and forth, you guys are tired too, just rest for now, there are still five miles to go, just wait until you enter the palace and move.”

After hearing this, Yun Shu said, "Yes, young master."

Huo Jianhui hugged the child and immediately walked to the imperial chariot, fearing that the child would freeze, after all, this is not Jiangnan, this is the capital city, and it is quite cold in winter.

The family of three boarded the imperial chariot, then Huo Jianhui went straight to the capital with a big wave of his hand. This time, he was not as slow as usual, and the marching speed was very fast. According to officials from the Ministry of Rites, the emperor Huo Xiaotian held a banquet at Jinglan Palace and waited for them to go back to have dinner together. , so we can't delay too much. At the same time, Tao Ruilin and his wife will also enter the palace together, saying that they are going to clean up their big guys.

After entering the capital, Tao Ruilin sent his men back to Tao's house, so they didn't need to follow them into the palace. After hearing this, those people turned around and left without mentioning it.

Besides, Tao Bao and Huo Jianhui went directly to the palace, and then went to the East Palace with Tao Ruilin and the old couple, where they washed briefly, and then went to Jinglan Palace with Tao Bao's family of three. When they arrived, Huo Xiaotian and his wife had already He was waiting there, and old general Song Zishan and Li Yuan were waiting there with their two grandchildren.

A group of people greeted Huo Xiaotian and his wife when they met, and when the ceremony was over, Huo Xiaotian immediately let his son, daughter-in-law and in-laws sit down, saying that they were not outsiders and there was no need to be polite.

Tao Ruilin held Lan Xi's hand and sat beside Tao Bao. After all, Tao Ruilin was just a prince of Taiping who had no rights in terms of rank. He only took advantage of his own son so that he could have a family banquet with the emperor.

Seeing Huo Xiaotian, Tao Zixuan glanced at Tao Bao again. Encouraged by Tao Bao, Tao Zixuan immediately walked over to pay his respects to his grandpa and grandma. Greetings, I wish you an old Antai."

The old man Li Yuan's beard turned up when he heard the smile, he hugged Zixuan, kissed him twice on the cheek, then touched the child's head and said: "Hey, grandpa will introduce you to the two little ones." Brother, the older one is called Li Chaoran, and the younger one is called Li Chaofan, Chaofan belongs to your Uncle Xiangwu's family, you two are about the same age, and you play together more when you have nothing to do."

After Huo Xiaotian looked at it, he nodded and said: "Yes, Zixuan is young, there is really no one around his age, now it's good, Zixuan has a playmate, she's grown up, she can follow his father Xiangwen has learned a lot."

Li Chaofan is a stubborn child. When he saw Zixuan who was younger than him, he walked over, took Zixuan's hand and said, "Brother Zixuan, let me protect you from now on. If anyone bullies you, you Tell me, if I don't hit him, he will find his teeth all over the place." After speaking, he raised his right hand.

Li Chaofan was only five years old. After seeing it, Li Chaoran went up and patted him on the head, "How can you tell my brother this? If your second uncle knows what you said, maybe you should be punished to squat on the horse again." step."

Li Chaoran was only one year older than Li Chaofan. Seeing that he was quite sensible, Tao Bao couldn't help asking someone to go back to fetch the toys he brought back from Jiangnan, and let his three children play.
