Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 394 Pang Yiqing

But Yan Zhaohui's idea is very good, but there is really no one who can replace his two stupid sons.

Although these two sons are a bit stupid, they still have some methods, but they are a little childish and immature. This is also related to their lack of experience and they need further training.

As for the other sons, either they only know how to eat, drink and have fun, or they are irritable. They can be a warrior on the battlefield, but they are not suitable to be an emperor. Endowment.

Or he is taciturn every day, as if he is a little transparent, and even Yan Chaohui is not impressed by him. There are still a few who have not grown up, and the cost of cultivating them is too high.

At this time, a candidate who made Yan Zhaohui more entangled appeared, and that was Yan Xuelan.

When it comes to brains, Yan Xuelan is very smart, but she doesn't use it most of the time. However, starting from two years ago, Yan Xuelan is no longer as playful as before. She not only works hard to practice martial arts, but also starts to I'm in charge of the eldest princess's mansion.

If I had known before, Yan Xuelan never asked questions about the princess's mansion. It was Yan Zhaohui who managed it. As long as she could protect her daughter, it would be fine.

After Yan Xuelan started to come up, she quietly transferred some people's eyeliner to some false jobs, and some people disappeared without a sound.

Moreover, Yan Xuelan recruited staff with great fanfare, and also recruited a few talented casual cultivators and some small sects.

This anomaly was soon discovered by Yan Zhaohui.I thought it was my daughter who wanted to play again, but what I didn't expect was that this seemed to be coming for real?

Of course, the external statement is that the princess is boring, otherwise why there are such a series of operations.

Even the eldest prince and the second prince are vigilant, of course, this vigilance is not aimed at Yan Xuelan, but at each other.

Because there has never been a female emperor on the Central Plains.

Even in the world of high martial arts, the idea that men are superior to women still exists, unless it is the kind of female warrior with a high level of cultivation, such as the head teacher of Baiyun Mountain, otherwise it will not be respected by many people.

Some people may come up with various examples of female generals, female knights, female scholars, etc. to refute this view.

But they may have forgotten that this is just an example and not a common phenomenon.

Making a woman the emperor, wouldn't the spread of the news mean that the country's prestige would be lost?
That's why Yan Xuelan found that growing her own power was not a threat in the eyes of the first prince and the second prince, but an attitude towards playthings or leeks.

It is a force that can be won over.

Although most of the people in the Princess's Mansion are women, and Luan Fengwei is also a woman, but there are quite a few of them, and there are many talented people among them.

If the eldest prince or the second prince can establish a good relationship with Yan Xuelan, maybe there will be a chance to persuade Yan Xuelan to help him.

Moreover, she has established a good relationship with Yan Xuelan, and relying on Yan Chaohui's doting on Yan Xuelan, she has naturally drawn closer to her father.

So whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, as long as they see Yan Xuelan, they will be kind. Every day, the emperor's sister is long, and the emperor's sister is short.

It's like an old lady.

But these two people may never imagine that Yan Xuelan, who is so funny in their eyes, is really moved.

She is serious.

This is the inside story that only a few people including Yan Chaohui know.

His own daughter suddenly changed her temper, and Yan Zhaohui was also a little worried that some old things with no eyesight wanted to show off.

However, after some inspection, there was no problem, but Yan Xuelan noticed it, and explained to Yan Zhaohui, dumbfounded, so that Yan Zhaohui dispelled his doubts.

Yan Chaohui, Xie Hanyi, Pang Yiqing and others all know about Yan Xuelan's past two years.

In the name of hunting, training soldiers in the royal forest farm, I don't know how many ferocious beasts have suffered.

Even some heinous death row prisoners were sent on their way by them personally.

He recruited a casual cultivator from Guo Tianji and became a guest of the Princess's mansion. Now he is helping Yan Xuelan recruit casual cultivators from all over Beiyan. Fame and strength are not the criteria for inspection, but character and background are the most important important assessment criteria.

It also poached the corners of the casual repair alliances in some states. After all, with a bigger and more reliable backer, no one would choose to continue on the boat of the casual repair alliance. One can only be a small boat in the lake, and the other is indeed in the river. Anyone with a discerning eye knows how to choose a building boat.

He recruited a hermit named Mr. Baili to serve as his staff. He also has several disciples. Each of them is good at different directions, but they are worthy of all kinds of talents needed to deal with state affairs.

And Mr. Baili also advises Yan Xuelan from time to time.

Especially in the past two years, the publicity work has been very good.

It can be said that more people know about Yan Xuelan's existence, let everyone know what good deeds Yan Xuelan has done for Beiyan, how hard she works on weekdays, how much she cares about the country and the people, how humble she is and how eager to learn.

Anyway, it's all good news, and it directly transformed the original high-ranking eldest princess into a brand-new image of Beiyan goddess.

There are praises for Yan Xuelan's style, which has won the approval of many people, and even made many young people admire her.

Let Yan Xuelan become the idol of many people.

Then Yan Zhaohui almost chopped off Mr. Baili with a knife at that time. Damn, he dared to let his daughter be missed by others like this. This is unacceptable to any daughter-in-law.

Then Yan Zhaohui actually sent someone to Mr. Baili to take him away, and then had a "friendly exchange" with "a pleasant face", and finally ended the conversation under Yan Xuelan's request.

After that, Yan Zhaohui never intervened in this matter, as if nothing happened.

People in the know know it well, although they don't know what Yan Zhaohui and Mr. Baili talked about, but the topic can't get around Yan Xuelan anyway.

Under the auspices of Mr. Baili, Yan Xuelan also established several small caravans.

On the surface, it seems that they have no connection, and even operate in different ways, but behind the scenes, the owner is the same person.

They sell all kinds of luxury goods, and then buy all kinds of raw materials, as well as the necessities of life.

For example, ores, herbs, grains, wool, etc.

They are all necessary things for a power, and they are related to food, clothing, housing and transportation.

If it's just the few people above the Princess's Mansion, a lot of expenditures will be spent in the emperor's internal treasury, and there is no need to go through other channels.

A princess who needs so many necessities of life is definitely not for the people in the mansion, but for other people.

It's just that these are all done in secret. If Yan Zhaohui hadn't asked Xie Hanyi to send someone to investigate, some unintentional people would not have noticed at all, and would have thought that this was a small caravan's activity to attract money.

Not only that, Yan Xuelan is also wooing some small sects.

How small can it be?At least less than 10 people, no more than a hundred people at most.

Let these small sects or sects that are on the verge of extinction use their own efforts in exchange for the protection of the court.

Of course, the imperial court will also give some benefits, such as some martial arts resources, and the most needed thing for a sect to grow and develop is personnel.

A sect needs leaders of the older generation, experienced executors, and fresh blood to pass on the martial arts of the sect.

I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow.

No matter how small the sect is, there are some records in Beiyan. When participating in some grand martial arts activities, as long as the conditions permit, both the salary and the status are higher than those of casual cultivators.

Moreover, some small sects can also receive subsidies from the Beiyan court, which is a condition that casual cultivators do not have.

Therefore, even if the talents of many sects withered, even if there was only one person left, they had to find suitable successors to pass on the sect.

What worries Pang Yiqing the most is that Yan Xuelan is looking for those with broken veins, those who are born unable to practice martial arts.

And because their meridians are blocked, their physical fitness is weaker than that of normal people. They also have some difficulties in verbal expression, so they are looked down upon by many people, and their status is almost the same as those of strangers.It is an existence that is despised by people.

When Pang Yiqing was young, he was discriminated against because he was unable to practice martial arts and was weak and sick. However, it turned out that there was still a little gap between him and Pang Yiqing. That kind of unfair treatment.

Pang Yiqing once laughed at himself: "I'm the one with a slightly better brain."

Because of this experience, Pang Yiqing was also very heartbroken about the existence of those who had lost their veins.Because of some similar experiences, he can be said to have a deep understanding of the living environment of these pulseless people.

Think about it, a person in a family is weak, has difficulty communicating, and cannot work in exchange for income. How many people will get good looks from their family members?
This is ancient times, where there are warriors at the top, there are ordinary people at the bottom.

They often need all kinds of labor in exchange for living expenses.

Not every family is rich, and a person who only eats but can't work is often excluded.

Every year, for one reason or another, some people without veins are kicked out of their homes and left to fend for themselves, wandering outside.

Pang Yiqing couldn't save all the people who had lost their pulse. This was something they were born with and couldn't be changed. He could only help the ones he found as much as possible.

However, he also received an unbelievable piece of information from His Majesty Emperor Yan.

Yan Xuelan sent people to look for the existence of the Extinct Vein, and then sent them to Luanfeng City.

They even used money to buy them directly from the families of those who had died, as if it were a transaction.

This means buying servants in a small way, but in a big way it means buying people forcibly, and the differential treatment of citizens greatly affects a person's reputation.

The most important thing is that they still don't know what Yan Xuelan is doing with these people with no pulse.

It's a pity that Yan Xuelan has strictly guarded the place where these dead people are. Not even a fly can fly in. It is estimated that even if a mouse or the like runs out, it will probably be cut into eight sections.

In the end, Yan Zhaohui knew that his daughter was talking about the white and fat people raised by those with no pulse, and asked some people to train them in terms of basic necessities of life. I don't know what kind of operation this is. Meaningful?
If it was before playing chess, Pang Yiqing might have thought that Yan Xuelan was out of kindness, but since the emergence of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.It also made Pang Yiqing feel that Yan Xuelan's move must have some deep meaning, but they just can't see it through for the time being.

It seems that this time Yan Xuelan came to find her with full confidence. She is almost 80 and has passed the high-spirited stage back then. I really don't know what Yan Xuelan thinks.

While Pang Yiqing was sitting and thinking, a servant came in and reported, "My lord, the honored guest has already gone to the living room."

"Well, okay, go and ask someone to come to my room to change clothes, serve fragrant tea and the tea shop to the distinguished guests, and tell them that I will be leaving soon so don't be impatient." Pang Yiqing ordered.

"Yes, sir." The servant replied.

Pang Yiqing turned around and returned to his room.

Then, under the service of two maids, he changed into a more solemn dress.

If it was another chess player, maybe Pang Yiqing would wear more casual clothes, but if it was Yan Xuelan, it would be better to be more formal.

After all, Yan Xuelan is now a princess, and although Pang Yiqing was once a grand master, he has now resigned and stayed at home, staying out of the world (on the surface). There is a difference between the status of one being the eldest princess and the other an ordinary person.

This is Pang Yiqing's attitude, showing respect for Yan Xuelan's arrival, let's see what kind of medicine Yan Xuelan is selling in the gourd.

Before he reached the living room, Pang Yiqing heard Yan Xuelan's familiar voice. Of course, the content was flattering, anyway, everything in Lucky Villa is good.

"Hehe, the arrival of Her Royal Highness the princess really makes the humble house flourish." Pang Yiqing said with a hint of joking.

"The old grand master is here? It's been a long time. The old grand master also likes to make jokes. As expected, he's lazy when he doesn't go to work. He was very serious before." Yan Xuelan looked at Pang Yiqing with a smile in her eyes and said.

Pang Yiqing took the host's position in the living room and said: "Well, it's better to be lazy. I'm getting older and can't do physical activities anymore. It's just for taking care of myself. I still hope to see my grandson-in-law one day, but I can’t bear to die early.”

Yan Xuelan smiled and replied: "The old master doesn't need to" think so much, since you have retired, don't think about things that use your brain. "
