"Carrots compete with pears - let's change it with spicy food!"

"Hi hey hey-candied haws!"

"Oh--the tall stakes--the persimmons--the not astringent--the astringent can be changed!"

"Corella spicy chili pepper, tender celery, lentils, eggplant and cucumber, buy sea eggplant, buy radish, carrot, Bian radish, tender sprouts of Chinese toon, garlic, good leeks."

...

In April, the town of Mengshan County became lively early in the morning.

The vendors travel around the streets, some sell radish, some sell candied haws, and some sell persimmons.

There are also vegetable farmers who go to the market to sell vegetables in the early morning.

There are even more pedestrians.

There are ordinary people in the city who get up early to buy vegetables, and there are also coolies who carry baskets and shoulder poles to work at the north dock of the city.

Someone was smiling.

Some people have a bitter face.

Some people haven't had enough sleep.

Someone is in high spirits.

When Zhou Yan walked in such a county town, he felt that everything was fresh. Nearly nine years have passed, and the original memory has been blurred. Such a vibrant scene in Mengshan County made Zhou Yan feel fresh.

Most of the people in the southern scenery are numb, and the tones of cities are even darker.

But in Mengshan, everything is different.

The people in the city are all very vivid. Even if there are sad faces and eyebrows on their faces and eyebrows in the early morning, they will not be numb. However, more people are energetic and have good mental outlook. Even those coolies, although many of them are thin, it should not be difficult to eat a full meal every day based on their complexion.

"Da Shu!"

Zhou Yan walked on the street, looking at all kinds of people, feeling emotion.

Since the founding of the country, Dashu has been working hard to govern and forge ahead, and various reforms have never stopped.

For example, the "Qingwu Operation" nine years ago was just one of the many reforms of Dashu.

There are countless other reform measures related to people's livelihood.

For example, the "Shahe Project" in the fourth year of Shengyuan benefited Guangzhou, Huangzhou, Hezhou, Jizhou, Luzhou and other five prefectures and nineteen counties.

Mengshan County is one of them and has been able to develop rapidly.

In the eighth year of Shengyuan, Song Duke Qiqiu, who had just entered the cabinet as a deputy minister, advocated the formulation of the "examination method"-

Exam limits!

Responsible for the sake of the matter!

It breaks the disadvantage of many officials being overstated in one fell swoop in one fell swoop.

Dashu began to rise.

In the tenth year of Shengyuan, Dashu changed the reign to Jianzhong. Now it is the fifteenth year of Jianzhong. Dashu is thriving and the people are living and working in peace and contentment.

"Only in such an environment can martial arts at all levels truly gain a foothold."

The cost of practicing martial arts is quite large.

The young man entered martial arts at the age of fifteen and practiced martial arts. Even if there was no fee for martial arts, the food after practicing martial arts increased, the clothes were worn, the purchase of exercise equipment, weapons, and various medicinal materials were used, and so on.

If it weren't for the wealthy family, it would definitely not be able to afford it.

At this time, even in many ordinary people, even if they are squandering their food and food, they can barely provide a martial arts practitioner and a one-blooded warrior.

Once you have achieved success in martial arts, even if you are a martial artist in Qi and Blood Realm, even if you are the second most first-blooded martial artist, you will never have to worry about your livelihood in the future.

Whether it is going to guard the house, join the army, or go to the yamen to be a constable, it is a relatively stable job.

No matter how bad it is, relying on the strength of a first-blooded warrior, even if he goes to the dock to work, works as a boatman in the river, and builds roads in the mountains, he will earn no match for ordinary people.

Dashu is still booming, and warriors do not have to worry about their way out.

When Zhou Yan walked on the street, he could occasionally hear old women buying groceries, wearing coarse cloth clothes, gathered together to talk about his children's progress in martial arts learning.

Standing in a stance.

Sniff.

Schedule.

Qi and blood.

These people can even talk well.

"The people are rich."

"Martial arts prosper."

"There is no reason why Dashu doesn't rise."

Zhou Yan spent the morning wandering around the city and found a place to have lunch at noon.

Then to the afternoon.

So I went straight to Mengshan Bureau again.

...

The day passed quickly.

This day.

Zhou Kang and Zhou Xian successfully saw the household registration files in the county government office, but Mengshan County had too many people and could not finish them in one day, so they had to continue tomorrow.

On the other side of Hongying, the first batch of 6,000 missing person notices have been discussed. The plate will be made tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be printed. It will be completed in three days.

As for Zhou Yan's side.

Yesterday, after they completed their registration in Mengshan Bureau, they were going to visit Chang Shixiong, but he happened to be out and not in the bureau. Some people in the bureau said that Chang Shixiong would come back this afternoon.

But Zhou Yan passed by and was out of nothing again.

Chang Shixiong is still not here.

Fortunately, the impact is not great, so Zhou Yan is planning to go and have a look tomorrow.

that's all--

Day 3.

Day 4.

Day 5.

By April 15th, the household registration in the county government was the first to be completed, which made Zhou Yan and the others feel angry.

The household documents searched through Mengshan County’s household registration files and found that there were 34 "Zhou Youfu" in Mengshan County, but none of them were ten years old and eleven years old. There were three people in the range of six to fourteen years old, two of whom were seven years old and one was fourteen years old. However, all of them were healthy parents and had roots, so it was unlikely that they were Xiaowu.

"No matter what, look for all these thirty-four first, with the same name and surname. Maybe there will be Xiaowu, but the age record is wrong."

Zhou Yan quickly calmed down.

He said to the four people: "It just so happened that Chang Shixiong finally came back today. I borrowed a walking seal from Mengshan Bureau from him. He also had You Xing and Lishi. Several of them were very familiar with the fields of the ten miles and eight villages of Mengshan County. With them leading the way, my third brother and Hongying went to various villages to find these 'Zhou Youfu'. Brother, the second brother continued to be in the county town, and the missing person notices had been printed. You go and handle the yamen runners, post them everywhere, and visit them everywhere."

...

Five more days passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Yan, Hongying and Zhou Meng were busy and rushed back from the countryside.

On this trip, they found a total of twenty-four "Zhou Youfu", including the two who were seven years old and the other who were fourteen years old.

But unfortunately, all these people have nothing to do with what they are looking for.

The three of them went on to inquire in various villages, but there was no news about their mother or younger brother.

The same goes for Zhou Kang and Zhou Xian.

"This won't work!"

The five people gathered in the courtyard again, and Zhou Yan shook his head.

The permanent population of Mengshan County is more than 100,000, with more than 60,000 households in the 14 townships and more than 300,000 people. The total population of Mengshan County is nearly 500,000. According to their method of searching, it is difficult to find all the people in the city. There are always missed corners and corners posted everywhere in search of people.

But compared with the countryside, it is simple.

The fourteen villages in Mengshan are distributed in all directions, and villages are scattered everywhere. It takes too long to travel to them all.

"I have already asked the walking seal of Mengshan Bureau to find thirty people for me, and tomorrow I will disperse to the fourteen villages to inquire. I will find twenty or thirty people here, and I will also go to the countryside to inquire."

"Spray this way, try it first."

Zhou Yan clashed with the four people.

Fifty or sixty people were scattered among the fourteen villages of Mengshan, tempting high rewards and searching in a net-style manner. If Zhou's mother and Zhou Youfu were still in Mengshan County, they would definitely be able to find it.

If you can't find this, you have to consider outside Mengshan.

"That's all."

Zhou Xian sighed.

Zhou Kang and Zhou Meng's faces were not good-looking.
Chapter completed!
