The next day, just after dawn, Meng Yi started shouting.

"Get up. Let's walk faster today. We'll be there after noon."

Following Meng Yi's voice, everyone in the Ouyang family started to get excited.

Even the youngest Ouyang Philo sat up, raised his hand to rub his groggy eyes, and asked softly: "Mom, is it dawn?"

"Yes, it's daybreak and we have to set off after breakfast. It's already December now and the weather is getting colder day by day. If we arrive early, General Meng and the others can go back and resume their duties early."

"Uh-huh."

Today is the last day of their trip. Although breakfast is one pancake per person, today they added a bowl of wild vegetable paste to give people a little more food in their stomachs.

After breakfast, they set off again, heading towards their destination, the place of exile as everyone said.

Because they were almost there, everyone felt a little uneasy and their progress slowed down a little.

Along the way, Meng Yi urged him several times before arriving at the end of noon.

Seeing that the person who came was actually wearing a military uniform, Li Zi, who was in charge of the exiled prisoners, hurriedly welcomed him out, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen, please come in."

Meng Yi waved his hand and said: "Guan Li, Meng Yi was ordered to send someone here. I also ask Guan Li to receive the official document in advance." He handed over the official document in his hand.

Li Zi was slightly startled. This was the first time Li Zi had encountered this in the five or six years he had been responsible for managing the exiled prisoners.

It turns out that the exiled prisoners were escorted by soldiers from the military camp?

It seems that this exiled person is not simple!

He took the official document and looked at it carefully. He immediately raised his head and looked at the Ouyang family. He blinked and turned to look at Meng Yi and asked in a low voice: "General Meng, what are the plans for these people?"

"none."

A simple word made Li Zi doubt his life.

A third-grade official and a fourth-grade young master Zhan Shi, how miserable is it to be exiled?

You came here to open up wasteland and farm, but you didn’t even buy any farm tools?

This looks so weird.

Although Li Zi understood in his heart, this verification was necessary.

After looking at each of them one by one, he nodded, looked at the only five backpacks, and let people take them in without charging the Ouyang family a penny.

Seeing a group of people walking in with a guard, Meng Yicai said: "Steward Li, Meng was entrusted by an adult to ask Steward Li to take care of the little baby's family within his ability. When the baby set off from the capital, his head was broken."

It’s still hurt…”

"Little doll? The little doll with big eyes?"

Meng Yi nodded and responded: "Well, I'll bother Manager Li." After saying that, he stuffed two banknotes into Li Zi's hand, then waved and left Yushan, the place of exile that everyone said.

Yushan sounds like a mountain, but it is not.

Yushan is actually a county, but this county is very deserted. Because the land is barren, no one wants to live here.

Gradually, this place was known by the people in power at that time, so they sent some prisoners here and asked them to build Yushan. Over time, it became a place of exile.

Although Yushan is not the most barren place in the northwest, it is one of the most barren places in the northwest. The other place is an unknown wasteland five hundred miles away from Yushan.

Yushan is connected to the nameless wasteland. The prisoners who came here before have already built part of Yushan into a decent place.

Although the land is still very barren, there is a harvest after planting the seeds. It is much better than when those people came here a few years ago and had nothing.

Li Zi, who was in charge of managing Yushan, looked at Meng Yi and others who were drifting away. Thinking of Meng Yi's instructions, he didn't feel any reluctance at all.

Li Zi, who had also fought on the northwest battlefield, could see that the other three people traveling with Meng Yi were not simple characters, so he became a little curious about the little doll's family.

He lowered his head and looked at the banknotes stuffed in his hand. It turned out to be two 500-tael banknotes, which added up to one thousand taels.

Looking at Mengyi who was walking away with some confusion, Li Zi thought that those people were a family, but Meng Yi only asked the little boy's family. It seems that this family still has the master of the story...

After standing there and thinking for a while, Li Zi turned around and walked towards the direction where the Ouyang family and his group left before, holding his hands behind his back.

Arriving at an open place, Li Zi saw the Ouyang family standing there and stopped to look at the family.

At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but after taking a closer look, Li Zi found a clue.

This family is actually divided into two factions. It doesn’t look like one family, which is kind of interesting...

Having made up his mind, Li Zi walked over, looked at the Ouyang family and said coldly: "You are very lucky. You will have a place to live when you come here. It's just that the yard is a bit small, so you have to live separately."

As soon as she heard what Li Zi said, Ouyang's old lady Chen Yanhua complained in a low voice: "Live separately? What kind of bad place is this? There are potholes everywhere and it's hard to walk around. Even the living area is very small..."

Although Chen Yanhua's voice was very low, Li Zi still heard it somewhat. He squinted his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his lips. Li Zi did not speak, but turned and walked towards the left.

Seeing this, Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin stepped up to follow, leaving Ouyang Hong and his wife and Ouyang Hui's family there with expressions of disgust and complaint.

Seeing that the two uncles had followed the steward, brothers Ouyang Mingqing and Ming Yan also walked over quickly to see what the place where they lived was like.

Ouyang Hong looked at his eldest son Ouyang Hui and whispered: "Let's go and see where we live first."

"Yes, father."

When Ouyang Hong and others followed them to a courtyard with a half-person-high earthen wall, Ouyang's old lady Chen Yanhua immediately shouted in a low voice: "This is the kind of place we live in? Whoever likes to live in this courtyard full of earth will live in it."

.”

Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin, who had already released their shackles, looked at the earth-walled courtyard in front of them, walked in, and looked at it carefully.

There are two main houses, a kitchen and a utility room, and the toilet is in a corner. Although the yard does not look very big, there is a part of the backyard where you can grow some vegetables.

After the Ouyang Jin brothers discussed, Ouyang Qin looked at Li Zi and said seriously: "Master Steward, our family lives here."

Li Zi asked seriously: "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it. Can we build more walls on this courtyard wall?"

After listening to Ouyang Qin's words, Li Zi understood in his heart, and then nodded in agreement: "You can build it higher, but you need to find a way to build these bricks yourself. You can make them yourself, or you can trade them with other villagers."

After speaking, Li Zi saw him nodding in response, then turned around and walked towards a yard not far away.

This courtyard has one more room than Ouyang Qin's one, but everything else is about the same. Seeing Chen Yanhua's look of disgust, Ouyang Jin took advantage of the situation and settled down.

At this time, Manager Li Zili had already finished observing. He looked at Chen Yanhua, who had a droopy face, turned around, and led the group of people in another direction.
