    In the first year of Emperor Chen of the Northern Empire, this was the fourth year that the Northwest King Ye Wuya took over the imperial capital. In this year, the Northwest King finally proclaimed himself Emperor, named Emperor Chen!  In this year, the land enclosure order was officially promulgated, the reason: to settle the kings, ministers who followed him into the imperial capital, and to solve the livelihood of the officers and soldiers!  In order to expand his power, Taibao Yecheng also took advantage of the trend to carry out a large-scale land enclosure movement, enclosing a large amount of land near the imperial capital and its surrounding areas. In addition to occupying the Huangzhuang in the previous dynasty, he also plundered a large amount of land!  Of course, Ye Zixu's people do it too, but Ye Zixu's people are more subtle and never make drastic changes!  Lange's people secretly monitored Yecheng's people, and even secretly encouraged the bitter master who was encroached on the land to sue!  However, Ye Cheng's people were different, with a mighty force, labeling those who sued the court as troublemakers and rioters, and secretly sent people to beat them, threatening these people not to sue.  The so-called force is mutual, the harsher Ye Cheng is, the more resistance these landless people will have!

    As for the enclosure movement itself, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!  Its advantage lies in the placement of the kings and ministers and their soldiers, which solves the worries of the soldiers and makes them more loyal on the battlefield and in the court!  The disadvantages are also obvious: after the land enclosure, many farmers¡¯ fields were occupied and displaced, and some landlords and farmers had to invest in the manors of kings and ministers, becoming serfs, or exiled to other places, resulting in a large number of refugees and beggars!

    That day, the dumb brother and the villagers were working in the fields.  A group of officers and soldiers couldn't help but say that wherever the horses ran, it was their own land!  Yoshimura, this paradise, has not been so peaceful in recent years.  There are often landless farmers begging along the street!  If things go on like this, sooner or later you will find the Taoyuan where Nangong Mei is hiding, the most mysterious place in Yoshimura!

    Since the mute brother was injured, his mother did not allow the mute brother to go out of the Taoyuan, and watched him all the time.  This dumb brother is the only son of the Chen family. The so-called Jin Kong will sing, but Jin will not be empty, and he will not sing!  This is the fate of the dumb brother!  Destiny is fate, the dumb brother also learned martial arts since he was a child. Not only is he a master of martial arts, but he also loves poetry. Writing poetry and prose is not a problem, especially his good calligraphy, which makes people full of praise.  On weekdays, he would follow Uncle Chen to other villages to do some farm work.

    A few days ago, Chen Bo's old leg and foot injuries recurred, so he let the dumb brother go to do farm work alone.  Unexpectedly, he met Li Yifa's man who was staking the land outside the village, and the dumb brother and his brothers led the villagers to fight against it.  Even though the dumb brother was very skilled, he was still no match for the sharp weapons of the officers and soldiers, and was still seriously injured.  Seeing that there were more and more people resisting, those officers and soldiers withdrew temporarily for fear of causing trouble to Emperor Chen.

    These days, the dumb brother has been recovering from his injuries in his own house, and his mother asked Nangong Mei to accompany the dumb brother, in fact, letting Meier stare at the dumb brother.  They are together, but they have many common hobbies: poetry and songs, Nangong Mei can do it.  Since she was a child, she loved to read books like Old Master Q, as well as those masterpieces of famous people; when she was in Que Pavilion, after she finished the tasks explained by Nan Gongbo, she would read ancient books and masterpieces in Crane Paper Tower.  The dumb brother can't speak, but he can write. Meier admires his handwriting.  When two people are together, silence speaks louder than sound!

    One day, a boy who was as old as the dumb boy opened the door.  At this time, the dumb boy was pacing around in the house, and the young man said out of breath, "Mute boy, those people came again and beat up the villagers in other villages. Seeing that you were not here, they said that you had suffered such serious injuries."  , is not their opponent at all."

    After all, the dumb boy is young and energetic, how can he bear such humiliation.  Just as he was about to go out, the woman stepped forward and stopped him.  The dumb brother knelt and kowtowed to the woman, and then went out of his room with the young man.  Meier also heard all this in her own room, she opened the door, stood at the door, and looked at the mute brother sadly.  The dumb boy walked towards Meier and gestured to her: Don't feel bad, I will go home.  Meier naturally understood and nodded.  She was also worried about the dumb brother.  These days, when we get along day and night, that woman treats Meier like her own daughter.  Meier also felt this strong mother-daughter affection, even Suli'er - her biological mother, Meier had never felt such a deep mother-daughter affection.  There seems to be a natural barrier between her and Su Li'er.  And this woman made her feel her mother's love.  In Yoshimura, she really felt the family affection in the world.  But in Shizifu, she can only be cautious, only fearful!

    The woman rushed out of the door, and looked at the back of the mute brother, tears streaming down her eyes.  Seeing this, Mei'er walked towards the woman slowly, just stood by her side, guarded, and called out softly: "Aunt Chen."

    "He always stands up for others like this. If he comes back, please ask the lady to reason with him more, this child seems to listen to you." The woman said.

    "Okay, Mei'er will listen to Auntie." Mei'er said.

    The woman hugged Mei'er into her arms, and said lovingly: "The slave woman has always wanted a daughter, but she just won't come out. As soon as the young lady comes, the slave woman loves it when she sees it."

    "Mei has long regarded Aunt Chen as her own mother in her heart." Meier said.

    In the evening, Uncle Chen also came backAlthough the Pavilion and other sub-rudders have not been discovered for the time being, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes in the future.  Now this Taoyuan seems to be hard to protect!  It is dangerous to be targeted by Ye Cheng's people.  If the fight between Ye Zixu and Ye Cheng can be used to restrain Ye Cheng's people, then Taoyuan can escape disaster.

    The next day, the dumb brother got up very early and was going to visit the major general in the outer village.  The woman said sharply: "Dumb brother, stay at home today and don't go out. I will let Miss Nangong come and accompany you."

    Shizi Mansion, after Ye Zixu was shot by an arrow, it has been ten days and he still hasn't woken up.  General Chen, Lord Marquis in White, Ye Zixiu and others took turns to accompany Ye Zixu in the Shi Zifu.  That Yin Yiyi was ordered by Emperor Chen to be sent back to the Yin Mansion, and a foot restraint order was issued, not allowing her to step into the Shizi Mansion.
