The decree has been read.

The kneeling people also stood up, looking at me and looking at you, but most of them didn't seem to react.

At this moment, a group of beggars squeezed in.

There are about seventeen or eighteen.

The leading child, Ye Feng, knew him, and he was Huzi. Next to him was the kid next door, all of whom carried baskets on their backs. Every morning, the kids next door followed Huzi out, and Ye Luoyin brought him a dozen big steamed buns or two Wowotou.

When I came back at night, the dozen or so back baskets were basically full. Even if no medicinal materials were collected, they would still bring delicious forage to Brother Mule.

Even if there is no fodder, the back basket will be filled with firewood for Ye Feng's family to carry.

Anyway, everyone who is sensible makes people feel distressed.

Today, Xu heard that the emperor had an imperial decree for Youzhou before leaving the city. Curiosity must be curiosity, so he ran back in a hurry.

Huzi and the others only heard the back, not the front.

Hu Zi pulled Ye Feng's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Uncle, what imperial decree did the emperor say?"

Ye Feng pressed Huzi's shoulder, looked into his eyes, and said seriously, "The emperor is benevolent and magnanimous, and bestows the surname of the country on you!"

If it was before, these children would be cursed by adults as bastards.

And they are used to it.

But at this moment, when the people around looked at these children again, for some reason... they became different from before.

Huzi didn't quite understand, and murmured, "National name?"

"From now on, all of you children, as long as you don't have a surname, will be surnamed Zhou, and you still have a Taikang New City..."

Ye Feng continued, "From now on, no one dares to beat and abuse you. You are the descendants of the Zhou family and the people of the Taikang Dynasty."

Ye Feng sighed, "Children, you will have a family in the future."

The whole city of Youzhou was boiling.

Those women living in misery can also go to the new city with their children, they will no longer live in pain, the child who represents shame, from then on, has a surname of Zhou, and has a new place to go.

Some people cry and others laugh.

Afterwards, they all knelt down again to thank the mighty God.

Such a will is good no matter who it is.

Ye Feng was not kneeling, but went to the yamen to register with these moved and tearful children who wished to be smashed to pieces for the sake of the emperor.

After registration, these homeless children will stay in the yard specially set up by the government office.

Before leaving, Ye Feng told Huzi and the child, "In the future, the government will take care of you, so you don't have to wander around anymore. The adults said to give you a unified name, just wait at ease. You have to remember, such days come. It’s not easy, you should cherish it, whether it’s studying or practicing martial arts, you must work hard, be a good person, have sunshine in your heart, and let the world see that you will never insult the surname bestowed on you by the Holy One.”

A civil servant next to him glanced at Ye Feng unexpectedly.

I feel that this person's words are really different.

After going back, Ye Feng and Ye Luoyin pondered for a while, since they met, they had to do something, Ye Feng also said, "This is a wise gentleman, and the future of Taikang Dynasty can be expected."

"Father, I now understand a little bit why my elder brother took the risk to go north. This must be the charm of his personality."

Ye Feng packed up all the things of the kid next door, and bought a thousand catties of brown rice, which he put away for now, and sent them to the new city when he could go to the new city.

The next door has been completely quiet these days.

The woman left with her burden on her back, but she didn't see the child looking for her. Anyway, she was going to Xincheng.

The mother-in-law scolded Tie Dan as worthless.

Tie Dan squatted on the ground and held his head in silence.

Taikang Xincheng was a big town in the past, and the Tartars killed all the people there, and it has been empty until now.

Now there are other arrangements here.

In the past few days, Ye Feng has heard a lot of news quietly.

Taikang New City is like a military camp, but it is not the same.

Some civil officials taught them to read and write, and some military officers taught them to practice martial arts.

Needless to say, what the civil servants taught them must be loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, as well as eternal hatred with the Tartars.

This is right, and such a concept must be established.

As for food and drink, the government will provide them for the time being.

When Youzhou was taken back, not only the people were taken back, but also the food that had not been transported in time, and a large amount of property looted by the Tartars.

There's really nothing wrong with such a move.

When these children grow up, they are definitely a force that cannot be underestimated.

Of course, the affairs of the court are just talking in private.

During the day, Boss Ye cheerfully sells fried chicken and collects herbs.

Then there is a queue every day to buy fried chicken.

Compared with before the imperial decree, the spirit of the people seems to be different.

No longer is that gloomy twisted day-to-day mentality.

Looking forward to the future.

On this day, Ye Feng and Ye Luoyin drove a mule cart to Xincheng.

It's not far from the city, that is, it takes an hour to walk there.

There are no gate guards, and it is no different from a normal town.

But upon closer inspection, it's different.

Here are not individual households, but the walls between the yards have been demolished and turned into rows of houses.

Some places are still under construction, and I don't know what is being built.

However, as soon as he reached the door, someone came to ask.

It was a man on a horse, wearing armor, who seemed to belong to the Northern Guards.

Ye Feng was not easy to report his name, so he just talked about the matter directly.

When he found out that he was giving the child his used quilt and donated a thousand catties of brown rice, this man who should be Qianhu smiled very happily.

He also led the way to Ye Feng, and pointed to the house in front of him to tell Ye Feng that many people donated cotton clothes and trousers, and they are all registered now, and let the children remember the names of every kind-hearted person, and learn to be grateful.

Ye Feng didn't write his full name, so he wrote Boss Ye.

The person who registered is serious about recording.

Cotton clothes, trousers and quilts are not counted, they should belong to the child's personal things.

They were all handed over to the supervisor.

Now that this place has just taken shape, I don't dare to have any messy things happen. If something bad happens, it will be a slap in the face of the emperor.

Otherwise, this place would not be assigned to the Northern Guards Office.

Although the new city was first built, it was in good order.

Some cleaned up the yard, some cleaned up the roadside gutters, some just came back from chopping firewood, in short, they did everything.

No matter how you say it, both the tiger and the child have a home.

Or a home where they can feel a sense of belonging.

On the way, Ye Luoyin and Ye Feng said, "Father, your worries are unnecessary. This is an imperial power society. Don't underestimate the people's loyalty to the emperor. They are all descendants of the Zhou family here. Who would dare to treat them wrongly?"

He glanced at the worried Ye Feng again, "As for their future, I don't think there will be any problem. Granting the country's surname, these three words are too important, so important that they can pay with their lives!"
