After this incident happened in Yushu Village, within a few days, relatives from other villages came.

In fact, everyone wants to see how Yushu Village is doing?

Unexpectedly, Yushu Village also made a fortune, and each household got a lot of silver, horse meat and other things.

It's so enviable.

But he was scared out of his wits, the village chiefs and village chiefs from other villages all came to look for Wei Daliang, and Wei Daliang invited Tie Qing to come over to have a look.

I ate a meal of horse meat and drank a lot of wine at Lao Wei's house.

"If you want me to say, don't expect any ice and snow walls. Let's ram the earth for the wall. Make it thicker and higher, so you can sleep at night with peace of mind." Wei Daliang meant this.

"It's reasonable to say that the ice and snow fence can't get up until the big freeze." The village head of Liushu Village said: "The ice and snow fence that we erected in the middle of the night is actually a fool, except for the ones in the east. , other places will fall when pushed.”

"That's because adults told us earlier, and so did we!" The village head of Xingshu Village was also worried.

"It's okay that you are all villages. Ours is a town, and there is no wall yet. Fortunately, they didn't go." The head of the village was also very scared: "We plan to build a wall for the town as well."

Forest Town is a place without walls.

However, Shulin Town occupies an advantageous location. It is a high hill, and all the houses in Shulin Town are condescending. Usually, let alone people, it is difficult for wild beasts to enter. Only two town entrances, one south and one north, can enter and exit. All are steep slopes and high walls.

And the town is very close to the county seat.

If Xu Xiaomei didn't just want to get rid of the shame, if she led people to attack Shulin Town, she would be able to rush in. I'm afraid that if the town is lively, the county will find out.

It's not the number one target either.

"It's better to re-build a rammed earth as a wall, make it stronger, and repair it every year." Tie Qing also meant the same thing.

A few people decided so, but this year we still need to build an ice and snow fence. After all, it is strong and can prevent the hungry beasts that come down the mountain to look for food in winter.

Tie Qing was still sober after drinking, so he was not drunk.

After taking a shower, I fell asleep.

Less than ten days after the incident, Xiao Wei and the others returned to Yushu Village.

"Those people have been dealt with?" Tie Qing knew that they were going to meet the enemy, that is, the team of the old man whose head had been beheaded.

"Don't mention it!" Xiao Wei wiped his face: "The county magistrate Lu Yi sent us the beheaded head of that old man, and we threw it directly to the enemy camp. Seeing that the heads of the leaders were all chopped off, they scattered in a crowd. I sent people to attack. If they had to fight us, they would have to work hard, but they ran very fast one by one! This attack became a defeat, just follow them. Many fleeing people, after cleaning the battlefield, in addition to military exploits, there are still many war horses and more spoils of war."

"Is it that easy?" Tie Qing was very surprised.

"It's not easy. It's your side who cleaned up everyone. Those thousands of people are all the cards of the leader. The closest hard-core direct descendants, they were all cleaned up inside the pass. Of course, the second leader who stayed outside the pass took people away. Now, everyone else has their own thoughts, who cares about that at a critical moment? It’s important to run away to save your life!” Xiao Wei knows the thoughts of those gangsters better than Tie Qing, and it’s nonsense to say that they are loyal.

"That's right, a group of people is like a mess." Tie Qing remembered that when those people ran away, they were actually not very disciplined.

When they hit, they also looked like a swarm of bees, without any battle at all.

"How's the family going?" Xiao Wei just came back and after seeing his parents, husband and children, he sent someone to invite Ti Tieqing over. When he is not at home now, he will entrust the family and even the entire rear to Tie Qing, his brother-in-law.

Get used to it a few times.

"Everything is fine, my second cousin gave birth to a boy named Xiao Shan, Shan Mu's Shan, who sounds like my brother Shan is of the same generation." Tie Qing showed off his little brother.

"Well, I know, I know that your brother Shan is the best." Xiao Wei couldn't laugh or cry: "This time I have made meritorious service. I have already invited the old and young men of Yushu Village together with Lu Yi County Magistrate. There will be rewards."

"Then thank you, brother-in-law." The whole village contributed their efforts this time, and sold the captured war horses to the imperial court at half price. They didn't ask the imperial court to give them any expensive rewards, just a few acres of land.

"Actually, there are still 3000 people here, who are specially here to deliver things to brother Xi. The emperor's reward has come." Xiao Wei said: "I came here about a year ago, and I let you catch up."

"I know, it happened to be a great help." Tie Qing was also happy: "What a coincidence."

Without them, those people would probably have escaped for a while longer.

"Isn't that right, but it's just in time for them to come and take our booklets back. When they come, they walk slowly, and when they go back, they walk fast." Let them go."

It's not easy to travel in the northeast in winter, either ice or snow, so it's easier to walk on the official road.

"Then we'll wait for the reward from above." Tie Qing was very cheerful, and went back to pick up brother Xiao and the child. The whole family had a meal together, and Xiao Wei sent them back again. Rui and her child.

Things calmed down quickly, and when the winter moon came, the real stalls were really cold, and the rewards from the court also came down.

The imperial court was very satisfied with the fact that everyone collectively resisted the incoming horse thieves and bandits, and evaluated them as "loyal and brave people", and exempted them from taxes in Yushu Village for three years!

This is a rare thing, and it is definitely a glorious thing for the court to be exempted from taxes.

And the entire Shulin County is exempt from taxation for one year.

In addition, the people in Yushu Village are generally knowledgeable, and they presented half-price war horses to the court, and some of them are serious and good stallions.

Therefore, every household in Yushu Village was rewarded with five acres of land by the court.

These five acres of land are not too much, and at any rate it is a field that can be passed on to future generations.

"The imperial court is called benefit without expense." Xi Fulang smiled while holding the child in his arms when everyone was happy.

"What do you mean?" Brother Xiao also held Brother Shan's hand and stood with him.

"Our area was originally sparsely populated. Many refugees settled here, but it was still barren. Therefore, many fields in the imperial court were not sold, and they were wasted. Now they are rewarded to everyone. It didn't cost a penny." Xi Fulang said: "A reputation as a loyal and brave citizen is enough, and you don't have to worry about other things. At most, three years of taxes are reserved for us, and only one year for other places."

"Oh...it's okay, we don't need to pay taxes, and the income from farming is ours." Brother Xiao looked cheerful, with a face that didn't know the feeling of sorrow.

"You are so easy to be satisfied." Xi Fulang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"My husband always said that contentment is always happy." The laughing brother gritted his teeth.

Anyway, everyone was happy when the reward from the imperial court came down, especially Mrs. Xu, their family was happy that they were not implicated.

While waiting for the imperial court to confer rewards, the other families were all happy, but their family was worried and fearful.

It's all right now, it's all right!

That day, Mrs. Xu and his wife were so drunk that they cried happily.

The same is true for Xu's second and Xu's four families. These three families are really relieved.

The whole Yushu Village has been praised by the superiors, and people in other villages have been exempted from taxes for a year, happy.

The only one who was worried became the county magistrate Lu Yi.

Xu Zhou was also worried, as was Yang Daqing.

"The tax is exempted, what will happen to the labor service next year?" This is what Xu Zhou worries about.

"There is also autumn rations. We have to send military rations to the Northeast Camp every year. What will we do if there is no tax and rations?" Yang Daqing also reminded the two of them that there are not only labor but also food.

It is impossible to count on the imperial court to send all the food in Northeast Daying. The nearest Shulin County next to Northeast Daying, the tax and food in the entire county are not handed over. Deliver the accounts, and after checking, they will be shipped directly to Northeast Daying.

This is convenient in the local area, so why bother the imperial court?

Not only Shulin County, but the entire Northeast Prefecture.

If it is not enough, the imperial court will allocate it nearby, and if it is not enough, it will purchase some more.

There are 30 people in the Northeast camp, eating, drinking, and sleeping, which one is not a big head!

Even the clothes have been outsourced to Xiaoyan Embroidery several times over the years. They only make some simple waistcoats, hurdle vests and trousers. I want to make serious clothes, but there are not so many people.

"My officer... the worst thing is to spend money to hire people to repair the city, and we can't let the pass be repaired." Mr. Lu is a ruthless person.

He has been here for almost six years, and as the county magistrate, he is indeed conscientious.

When the other two heard it, there was only one way.

"Fortunately, there is still a lot of money in the yamen's public account." Xu Zhou's eldest son made a wish. He was the person in charge of the accounts. Naturally, he knew that there was still 3000 taels of money in the yamen's public account.

Their master is a ruthless person, and everyone else has a heart, so they never spend money indiscriminately, and they never search the public to enrich themselves.

This is how to save so much money.

Several people were relieved after discussing it. This is the Yamen, so they can't just think of a solution when the situation is critical. Although it is winter, they still have to think about next year's affairs in advance.

In the winter month, everyone started to wash rice, bean buns, rice cakes, and bean noodle rolls.

Xiao Hui also took the child, and Xu Hui went back to Yushu Village to see the second sister.

"It's really time for this child to come." Xiao Hui hugged her little nephew who was not yet full moon: "What's your nickname?"

"It's called Shengli." Xiao Cui smiled and said, "His father gave him a nickname, Ying Jing'er."

"Isn't it just the occasion? When he comes down, we will win." Aunt Xiao also said cheerfully: "Now I can be regarded as a grandma."

Now Aunt Xiao, the trace of sorrow between her brows is gone, her whole body seems to be overflowing in the ocean of happiness, her whole body is soft, it is very beautiful to see her daughter and grandson every day.

The daughters who saw it couldn't laugh or cry, their mother finally survived.

Brother Xiao prepared a lot of good dishes for them, and even made a big pot of boiled fish from Liu Ermazi's fish.

As a result, Xiao Rui became nauseous during the meal.

"You... have it, right?" Brother Xiao's eyes widened.

A doctor was invited to give the pulse, and it was indeed there, but the month was still young, and Xiao Rui didn't know it yet.

Well, this is another happy event.

Li Feng happily went straight to grind at Tie Qing's house.

It means turning around.

Tie Qing was dizzy from being turned around by him: "Although it is a happy thing, I can't stand your ecstasy. Stop wandering around, you are not the king of spinning around."

"Brother, I'm so happy, so happy!" Li Feng rubbed his hands with a smirk on his face: "By this time next year, I will be able to hold the baby, no matter whether it's a kid, a brother or a girl, it's all mine. Bloodline, my child."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Tie Qing pulled the man over and sat down on the chair: "That's all right, just be happy, and don't forget to nourish your little cousin in the future. This is the first child, so take good care of it. Every child will be successful in the future.”

"Hmm!" Li Feng was overjoyed.

As a result, the next day when Tie Qing came over to have breakfast with Fu Lang's children, Brother Xiao was not happy.
