Chapter 241 Wei Caiqin asks for a meeting.
The same is true in Hirano County, where many refugees from all over the country have settled.
Ye Kun plans to take a group of people to Yizhou to strengthen his own forces.
The gentry in Yizhou are too difficult to deal with, so Ye Kun has to cultivate grassroots forces and combine his own power with the army, taking a two-pronged approach to deeply control Yizhou!
Half of the villagers at the scene expressed their willingness to follow Ye Kun.
Because they feel safe following Ye Kun, especially the refugees from the north, who have experienced countless wars and know the fragility of life.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.
But the local villagers in Pingye remained silent.
Their home is here, they have a family and a business, and their ancestral graves are also here. It is hard for them to leave their hometown.
Ye Kun comforted everyone and said with a smile: "I won't force you to move away. If you want to leave, just follow me. If you want to stay, continue to live in Pingye County. If you have any difficulties, I will still help you solve them."
The villagers bowed, thanked him, and left.
After entering Pingye County, Jiang Yourong and Dai Xi were very happy.
Because in two days they will be able to go back to Caomiao Village and revisit the old place.
Liu Yuejuan's smile was forced, and she returned to the large courtyard where she used to live, reluctant to leave.
Here, are all the memories of her growing up.
Ye Kun was considerate and knew Yue Juan's thoughts. He took her hand and looked around, comforting her:
"Yuejuan, I'll have someone protect this house. You can leave one or two maids here to take care of it. I'll come back with you when I have time. I've lived here for more than a year. I don't want to leave so suddenly. Also, the first time I saw you here, the scene is still vivid in my mind."
Yuejuan's eyes turned red and she threw herself into Ye Kun's arms and sobbed.
Ye Kun patted Yue Juan's back gently:
"Don't cry, don't cry. I know you can't bear to leave. Your parents-in-law's graves are still in Xiping Mountain. We can move them to Jiangzhou and find another Feng Shui treasure land for burial. It will also be convenient for worship and sweeping during the four seasons and eight festivals."
Yuejuan wiped her tears and shook her head:
"Thank you for your concern, my husband. Now that Yizhou is just beginning to settle down, you are busy with many things, so don't think about these things for the time being. When you have settled Yizhou, you can accompany me when you are free."
After all, she is a well-educated lady who knows how to put the overall situation first.
"I will definitely accompany you back. I also want to visit the elders of Pingye County." Ye Kun nodded.
The next day, Ye Kun took Jiang Yourong's family, Dai Xi and Zhou Tielan to Cao Miao Village.
The current Cao Miao Village has returned to its original appearance.
Because Yan Liuhai also had a homesickness, he assigned several old men from Cao Miao Village to bring craftsmen and soldiers to rebuild the village and resume production.
Shuangyashan Camp is very close and can also protect Caomiao Village.
"Look, that's our Caomiao Village, just like before!"
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, Dai Xi started cheering.
Jiang Yourong also smiled happily, and Zhou Tielan's eyes sparkled.
Everyone has a hometown complex.
Ye Kun laughed and said, "This Yan Liuhai actually did such a big thing without telling me!"
Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "And my eldest brother and Jiang Laowu also made Jianghetou Village very beautiful. But they paid for it themselves..."
"That's great. Seeing how good my hometown is, I don't want to leave." Ye Kun also sighed.
Jiang Youde smiled and said, "It's best not to leave, Lord Ye. If you return my spinning mill to me, I will live in Caomiao Village forever."
Dai Xi smiled and said, "Why don't you call me brother-in-law, but Master Ye?"
Youde blushed: "You can call me whatever you want..."
Dai Xi smiled evilly: "Then what do you want to be called? Tell us."
Youde lowered his head and dared not respond.
Ye Kun changed the subject and teased his third aunt's sister-in-law about her talent.
Youcai is getting fatter and fatter now. He asked, "Brother-in-law, is there anything delicious in Chengdu?"
Ye Kun nodded: "I built a building for you in Chengdu, called the Food Building. There are many snacks and fruits in it, you can eat as much as you want, no money."
Youcai believed it and said, "Then I'll take Ping'er with me to eat together!"
As they were talking, they arrived at Ye Kun's former home.
Jiang Yourong looked in front and back, and said with a silly smile: "This home is still the best."
Then he took his son Ye Feng and shook his head in his hands: "Look, son, this is our hometown. This is your ancestral property."
Ye Kun chuckled.
Isn't it too shabby to leave these few houses to my son as a family inheritance?
Dai Xi also threw her daughter to the maid and said with a smile: "We are all home now, so we should have a meal at home, right? I will cook."
Jiang Yourong agreed immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, cook, I'll wash the rice, and Daixi will light the fire!"
Ye Kun shook his head and let Jiang Yourong and Dai Xi do whatever they wanted.
After lunch, Ye Kun rode to Shuangya Mountain for inspection.
Jiang Yourong, Dai Xi and others stayed in Cao Miao Village and were protected by Jiang Youbao's troops.
Shuangya Mountain is now well built, with seven watchtowers, two large camps, and two granaries, with a total of one thousand soldiers stationed there, supporting Pingye County and Xiping Mountain.
There is a large area of arable land to the west, which is perfect for farming and self-sufficiency.
Ye Kun visited the garrison soldiers, gave himself a boost, and returned to Cao Miao Village to rest.
The house has been furnished and is completely habitable.
The weather is a bit hot.
Jiang Yourong called Ye Kun into the bedroom and whispered, "Husband, Tielan is very pitiful. She has no relatives or friends now. If you have time, please spend some time with her."
Ye Kun nodded: "Okay, I'll go talk to Tielan."
Speaking of which, it is indeed pitiful that Zhou Tielan encountered family changes.
Usually, Ye Kun doesn’t care about her much.
Ye Kun called Zhou Tielan, took her hand, and walked in the village, looking at the night scene, while asking: "Tielan, is your second sister-in-law Wei okay now? Has she contacted you?"
Zhou Tielan said cautiously in a low voice:
"My second sister-in-law is in Pingye County, living with her two children at my aunt's house. Sister Yourong gave me some money and asked me to take care of her and the children..."
"I'm sorry, I neglected it." Ye Kun said apologetically:
"Ask my second sister-in-law. If she is willing, she can go to Jiangzhou with us. I will give her money to raise the children in the future."
Zhou Tielan thought for a moment and smiled, "But my second sister-in-law and my aunt's cousin... want to start a family. My aunt's cousin's wife died at the end of last year."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "That's great. Let your aunt's cousin go to the county town to work. He can do whatever he can. Your second sister-in-law will have food to eat if she marries over there."
"Thank you, Master Ye."
"Let's just call you Brother Dalang. We grew up together."
The two chatted for a long time and had a very heart-to-heart talk.
Zhou Tielan received comfort and care, and her spirits improved a lot.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and another day has passed.
Ye Kun accompanied Jiang Yourong back to Jianghetou to say goodbye.
The happiest people are those who are virtuous and talented. They sit in the carriage and point and talk about where they are and how far their hometown is...
Ye Kun smiled and said, "You are very talented. The carriage won't shake your butt this time, right?"
Today's horse-drawn carriages are equipped with leaf spring shock absorbers, which provide a good riding experience.
Youcai smiled and said, "It's still not as fun as riding a boat. My eldest brother used to have a small fishing boat, and I rode on it before."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I have a lot of big fishing boats. I'll take you on one in a few days."
"How big is it?"
"It's very big. You can ride horses on it. There's also a house on it with a big bed. You can cook and sleep on it."
"I don't believe it. There is no such big ship." Youcai curled his lips.
Yourong hugged her third sister and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law won't lie to you. If he says there is, then there must be."
In fact, at that time, the largest ship of the Dading Kingdom could already carry thousands of people.
It would be more than enough to fit all the villagers from Caomiao Village and Jianghetou in.
After returning to Jianghetou, Youde and Youcai went crazy and ran around the village, looking for the pond, fruit trees, and every blade of grass in their memory.
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I just can't understand what's so good about this broken village. I want to come back and take a look."
Jiang Yourong rolled his eyes: "Who said it's a broken village? Even if it's a broken village, it's a good place to raise us brothers and sisters."
"If my aunt says it's a good place, then it's a good place." Aunt Xue smiled.
Ye Kun accompanied Jiang Yourong, holding his son, and strolled around the village.
After lunch, everyone rested for a while and then reluctantly left and returned to the county town.
The next day, Ye Kun summoned officials from Pingye County to discuss immigration to Jiangzhou.
Suddenly, a personal guard came to report: "Master Ye, Master Qin Caiwei of Jingzhou wants to see you."
Wei Caiqin?
Ye Kun was startled, stood up, and went out to greet him in person.
