The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 382 Chapter 383 Martyrs’ Shrine

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia curiously and asked, "How have you decided to bury these heroes?"

"At the beginning, some people suggested that they should return to the clan and be buried in the clan cemetery, and be worshiped by descendants. Shen Hui said it was impossible because no one could identify it? Finally, Ouyang Xiong suggested finding a Feng Shui treasure in Luoji Mountain. , and buried the soldiers in Luoji Mountain."

Zhou Jia paused and continued: "I agreed with his proposal. I suggested building a Martyrs' Shrine in the cemetery to honor these soldiers, and bury all the soldiers who died in this battle in Luoji Mountain, so that they can all receive the incense of the people of Yunzhou. After Shen Hui agreed, everyone agreed, and Wu Tingxian and General Yun Shen were sent to the Taoist temple to find the Taoist priest and to Luoji Mountain to find a geomantic treasure. Now, outside the tent where the body is placed, there are people coming to worship."

Li Yu felt that Zhou Jia's proposal was the same as the ** Cemetery in later generations. After the successful construction, it would also give future generations a place to remember the great achievements of the martyrs, and let everyone know that today's stable life was earned by these soldiers with their flesh and blood.

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and said solemnly: "Master Zhou, these soldiers who defended their country and sacrificed their lives and blood deserve this honor."

"Yes, I also think they deserve this honor." Zhou Jia responded solemnly.

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and said: "Today, I went to visit the injured soldiers with Mrs. He and some officials' wives. They..., I think these injured soldiers and those civilian husbands who were disabled , the court should also be well settled, we cannot let them bleed and shed tears."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu, who was tall and tall, and felt in a trance that there was a passionate warrior standing opposite him. He looked at Li Yu with a moved heart, "Madam, what you said is reasonable. We cannot let them return home in a state of embarrassment. They should be properly accommodated." Good thing they can't let everyone be cold-hearted."

When Zhou Jia thought of Qingchuan, Li Yu proposed to distribute money for medical treatment to the injured government servants and policemen, and also pay pension money to their families on a monthly basis.

Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and said, "I remember that Madam also came up with the idea in Qingchuan. Has Madam thought of any way this time to accommodate these wounded soldiers who don't want to return home?"

Li Yu nodded and said: "I have thought of a way, but I don't know if it can work?"

"Come and listen." Zhou Jia looked at her and said.

"I don't think those wounded soldiers should be allowed to wander around. I remembered that there is a bush under our village, so I asked Awei to check it out... I suggest that you set aside that area to place the wounded soldiers, and then set aside a few These acres of land and foundations will be used as homesteads and private land for them. No taxes will be charged on these acres of land, and taxes will be levied on other lands according to normal standards."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu in confusion, "What does private land mean?"

Only then did Li Yu realize that he had used the vocabulary of later generations. He thought for a moment and explained: "Private land is the land that the imperial court compensates these wounded soldiers for private ownership. However, there should also be regulations that prohibit buying and selling. These acres of land will not be sold during the lifetime of these wounded soldiers." Being exempted from all taxes can be regarded as a compliment from the imperial court!"

After hearing this, Zhou Jia thought for a while and said, "Your method is also feasible. I will discuss it with Ouyang Xiong and Wu Ting tomorrow and then submit a letter to His Majesty."

"Xiao Xi, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I asked Uncle Liu to go find the veteran named Xu Laizi."

"You asked Uncle Liu to find that veteran because you wanted him to come and do things at home? Are Uncle Liu and him fellow villagers?" Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with a blank look on his face.

"Didn't I tell you just now? Those wounded and dead soldiers did not receive the full amount of pension money at all. The pension money issued by the court was exploited by those corrupt officials, and finally the money ended up in their hands. Those officials did not deduct as much as they did. Why are they bleeding and dying at the front, while those corrupt officials are eating steamed buns with human blood? When I find out, I will report these corruption and perversion of the law to Your Majesty, Xiaoxi, if Your Majesty inquires , it may touch the interests of those powerful people, and I am afraid that someone will attack and annihilate you by then."

"Yu'er, you are too naive, and you can't get rid of the grain in your eyes. It's all officials who deduct the pension money for the fallen soldiers and wounded soldiers. Those powerful people don't care about that little money. They all make money from armaments. Write a letter to me. It won't have any impact," Zhou Jia smiled and stepped forward, hugged Li Yu into his arms, and said softly, "Even if it does, at worst, I can go back to teaching and farming and let you support me."

Li Yu hugged Zhou Jia movedly, leaned on his shoulder and whispered softly: "Xiao Xi, thank you."

It was rare for Zhou Jia to see Li Yu looking so lovable. He kissed Li Yu and said in her ear, "Yu'er, now that the war is over, let's give Yang'er a younger brother or sister!"

"It's all up to you!" Li Yu responded softly.

Two days later, the Taoist priest Wu Ting invited first selected the cemetery for the burial of those soldiers. It was not far from Shanxia Village. It was an open mountain land. It looked like a good place with mountains and rivers.

After the site was selected, nearby villagers and people in the city spontaneously went to help. Everyone opened the area before the date set by the Taoist priest, buried the soldiers, and let the heroes lay in peace. Then they started to build the Zhonglie Building. A large number of people bring great strength. A solemn and solemn Martyrs' Shrine was completed at the end of October with the hard work of a large number of craftsmen and people.

The Taoist priest of the Taoist temple sent his disciples to take care of the Martyrs' Shrine, and there was an endless stream of people coming to worship the heroes and martyrs.

After discussing with officials such as Ouyang Xiong and Wu Tingxian, Zhou Jia followed Li Yu's suggestion and jointly signed with Wu Tingxian to arrange the arrangements for the disabled soldiers who were unwilling to return home, and wrote a statement for Chu Sihai to send to Kyoto. Chu Sihai also brought news of the victory in the Qingzhou war, and the two battles of Dayong and Daqi were completely victorious.

After Liu Bo and Xu Laizi got to know each other, they also found out some of the secrets behind the embezzlement of pension funds. Li Yu wrote a note and sent it to Qian Yu to have someone send it to Kyoto.

Yunzhou City gradually returned to its previous calm, and Zuixian Tower became lively. Li Yu and Zhou Jia called Ji Xiang and Guyu to them, and asked with a smile: "When are you planning to get married?"

Jixiang and Gu Yu looked at the two of them with blushing faces. Jixiang said with a smile: "Master, madam, we want to go back to Dafeng Village for a visit. You and your wife can make the decision on other matters!"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu, looked at the two of them and smiled: "Okay, I will ask Mr. Qian to go to Dafeng Mountain with you tomorrow to discuss your marriage. You and Gu Yu will go back together to visit Gu Yu's elders and make an agreement. We will organize your marriage on a good day."

Ji Xiang and Gu Yu knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir, and thank you, madam."

Li Yu looked at the excitement of the two people and said with a cheerful smile: "There are gifts prepared for you in the warehouse. Guyu's slave status has also been canceled by your master. Ruyi's new house has been painted. I’ll make a new house for you, so take Gu Yu and Ping Li up the mountain to propose marriage early tomorrow morning!”

"I know." Ji Xiang replied with a smile. Gu Yu wiped the tears on his face and said, "Gu Yu, thank you, madam!"

Li Yu smiled and said: "Okay, don't cry. You two go to the warehouse with Ruyi to see if you need anything more?" The two of them couldn't hide their joy and stepped back.
