Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Chapter 172 Where are the people?

The guards who rushed forward were stunned. Ying Thirteen had already turned the tip of his sword and knocked them unconscious with the hilt. Then when others looked over, he had returned to the same posture as before.

Zhao Yinfeng... Dong Lao, who was grabbed by the collar, could hardly breathe. He stared at Zhao Yinfeng, who was much taller than him, with a white face and fear. Okay, who are the dandies in Beijing most afraid of? It's not the iron-faced censor, but the demon king Zhao Yinfeng. He is tall and good at fighting fiercely. The most important thing is that he has the most defensive grandfather, the Duke of the country. He has a family background and martial arts, and he always takes the lead in every fight. Dong Lao was beaten ten times when he did bad things, but he was the one who got beaten ten times. Unlike Fan Zheng and the others, Fan Zheng and the others liked to get in trouble, but Zhao Yinfeng always punched him directly.

Dong Lao turned his head and glared at his servant, why didn't anyone tell me that this guy was back!

Seeing Zhao Yinfeng grabbing Dong Lao, Ling Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then quietly retreated behind Yan San and climbed onto the carriage quietly.

I...didn't do anything... Dong Lao shouted after being strangled to the point of pain. At least nothing has been done yet!

Then what do you want to do? Zhao Yinfeng threw him on the ground, looked down at him and said: Dong Lao, if you let me see you doing this kind of thing again, I will beat your mother until you can't even recognize her next time. you!

The boy behind Dong Lao quickly helped him up and headed for his carriage. Dong Lao said bitterly in his heart, If I don't resist you, I will settle the score with you after you leave!

Zhao Mingliang stood at the door and shook his head slightly. His third brother had stayed in Bianguan for so many years, and his temperament had not changed at all. Although Prime Minister Dong was not in power now, and the Ministry of War was also under the control of the Zhao family, the Dong family was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs after all. Dazhou's money bag will still have an impact on the army. The Zhao family wants to become a big thing, but they are still short of money, but there is a wealthy owner here. Seeing Zhao Yinfeng heading towards the carriage, Zhao Mingliang had a cool smile on his lips.

Ling Qingyu's legs were still outside, and Zhao Yinfeng said from outside: Is everything okay, Master Ling?

Ling Qingyu quickly retracted her legs, pinched her throat and pretended to be coquettish, Thank you, Master, for saving me. I'm really scared.

As soon as her voice came out, Zhao Yinfeng was stunned for a moment. Yan Sanying Shisan and Sumu glanced at the carriage. Is the boss having a seizure?

There was too much difference between this delicate and coquettish voice and that menacing voice. Zhao Yinfeng stopped thinking and just said: We have a great time cooperating in Bazhou. Zhao needs to stay in Bianjing for a while. Someday, if Dong Lao troubles you again, you can come to the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion to find me.

Looking for you? Then I'm just looking for death! Ling Qingyu pinched his voice and said softly: Yes, thank you Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Yinfeng stepped aside and watched as several guards got on the carriage. The inconspicuous carriage clattered away and disappeared into the night.

What's your idea? Seeing Zhao Mingliang's expression, Fan Zheng asked.

It's nothing. Third brother is not young anymore. It would be nice to marry a good concubine. Zhao Mingliang said with a smile.

Fan Zheng nodded and said, Yes.

Fan Ye thought to himself, why don't I tell you about his relationship with General Yang? Still not telling you? Good concubine? What a beautiful thought!

When the carriage drove some distance away, there were fewer pedestrians on both sides. Yan San turned over and got into the carriage. He looked at Ling Qingyu and said with a smile, What happened just now? He naturally recognized this person, the one who made Ling Qingyu run away from Dai County in a hurry. General Zhao.

Hey, it stands to reason that I saved him. Although the method was a bit rough, in short we just need to hide from this person. Ling Qingyu said with a careless eye as he really couldn't tell the details.

Yan San smiled and didn't ask any questions. He held her in his arms, placed his palms on her back, and slowly breathed out.

After such a fuss, Ling Qingyu was already tired. Warmed by his hot inner breath, she leaned into his arms and closed her eyes.

The water in Bianjing is not shallow, but it seems that the Dong family is not only hostile to the Wang family, but also doesn't deal with the Zhao family very much. This is good, only if there is a conflict can they benefit from it.

Cheng's study room.

As you said, the head of the Ling family can be regarded as worthy of a righteousness. Cheng Yan dotted a red plum on the painting, nodded with satisfaction, and said casually.

Father, according to what Han Ye said, the best time to sow sweet potatoes and corn is March. If we want to sow seeds in the spring, we need to make plans now. The 50,000 shi of seeds provided by the Ling family is not a small amount. Cheng Jia stood aside and said.

I'm afraid this won't happen so quickly. As for the new varieties, only the Ling family has them. Whether they are poisonous or suitable is unknown to all regions. At most, we can try planting some in the northwest and Hedong Road to see the effects. . Cheng Yan lit another plum blossom and said.

Knowing that his father was right, Cheng Jia didn't say much and just stood aside.

Cheng Yan glanced at him and said, Did you agree to something you shouldn't have agreed to?

The Ling family is willing to provide new species and donate one hundred thousand taels of silver. My son thinks it is worthy of a commendation order from the court. Cheng Jia lowered his head and said.

Well, that's not a bad thing to say, otherwise it will chill their hearts to some extent. The country is in a difficult situation now, and businessmen's taxes are also a big source of income. You go and work out the discount. I will bring it up at the meeting tomorrow. Cheng Yan put it aside. Pen, Tao.

Seeing Cheng Jia bowing his hands and bowing out of the study, Cheng Yan sat in the armchair, took a sip of the tea his son had just brewed. Cheng Jia is still too young and has no enthusiasm but a desire to serve the country. Having new high-yielding varieties is naturally a good thing for the Zhou Dynasty. The entire grain structure will change, but this will directly affect the interests of the big landowners and big bureaucrats. It is bound to be very difficult to promote it on a large scale. At this time, the competition between the Dong family and the Wang family is getting stronger, and the emperor is getting weaker. Even if the Cheng family follows the purely ministerial route, it will be affected. Once the emperor leaves, I am afraid that the Cheng family will face Hao Jia, he himself is already old, but he always has to think about the children. At this time, he will never touch those two families for the sake of national interests. However, Jia'er has also put great effort into this matter, so it cannot completely chill his mind.

Just before the city gate closed, Yang Zhao and his entourage braved the wind and snow to enter the city. After verifying their identities, they were taken to the Guanjia Inn for temporary stay. The Yang family originally had their own mansion, but it was completely confiscated when the whole family was raided. Moreover, Yang Zhao was just an adopted son. Even if the Yang family was not raided, he would not live in the Yang mansion. It is getting late now, and he has to rush in again tomorrow. After going to the palace to meet the king in the morning, he did not go to Ling Mansion, but stayed at the post station with He Li and the others.

Is the boss okay? He Li asked after entering the room and taking off his cloak that had been soaked by the wind and snow. After meeting Yang Zhao along the way, Yang Zhao's expression was not good. There were personal guards on the road, but He Li kept holding back. At this time, the two were alone and Fang asked.

Yang Zhao shook his head, took off his cloak, and said: She was attacked by the Xie family overseas and was seriously injured. Although she has been recovering for several months, she still lacks energy and blood.

He Li paused, shook his hands slightly, and said, If Fang Nianyuan has already arrived, how can the Xie family's sneak attack succeed?

Yang Zhao turned his back to him and did not see his expression. He untied his helmet straps and said: It was in the middle of a typhoon at that time. The Xie family's boat suddenly appeared. Moreover, there was a man named Mr. Shi Da on their boat. Master.

He Li bit his lip and said nothing. During the typhoon, the leader always stood on the bow of the ship and commanded. In the storm, he was the best target.

He Li, I want to report to the Holy Emperor tomorrow to marry her. Yang Zhao placed the helmet heavily on the table and said while supporting the table.

I'm afraid it's not appropriate at this time. He Li said slowly as he hung Yang Zhao's cloak on the hanger.

Yang Zhao smiled bitterly and said: Of course I know that the imperial court is jealous of me now, otherwise it wouldn't have called me back to the capital at this time. It's obviously a reward, but it's actually a warning, but I can't stand it anymore. You didn't see the wound. That wound...

Even if you want to put her in the backyard for protection, she has to be willing. He Li said calmly, feeling a throbbing pain in his heart, but suppressing it without showing any signs of it.

She is a seabird that has traveled across the ocean. How can a yard contain her, and how can she be imprisoned. Yang Zhao smiled bitterly, stood up straight, and said, Go to rest early.

Yes. He Li withdrew, returned to his room, entered the room, closed the door, and punched the wall hard. Of course, he couldn't see the wound, but he could also imagine it. , Don’t make me angry. The fire in He Li’s heart was rising. If I were not Yang Zhao, I would rebel.

Last night, the beauty's soft waist and unparalleled beauty made Emperor Xiwen very greedy. However, the beauty later mentioned on the pillow what kind of jade jewelry is popular among the ladies who entered the palace recently. Emperor Xiwen got up early and prepared to attend. I haven't shown up for more than a month.

The great eunuch Fulu was very happy. Today was the day when the emperor summoned General Yang and General Zhao, who led the army on Hebei Road and Hedong Road. If he did not go to court today, he would probably be talked about by Cheng Xiang again.

Even though Emperor Xiwen walked up to the dragon throne with a yawn, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Even if it was just a decoration, the emperor still had to pull it out for a walk occasionally.

If you have the foundation to start playing, you will have to retreat without the foundation. Furu shouted.

I have my own foundation. Gua la gua la...

I have my own foundation. Gua la gua la...

I have my foundation....

Emperor Xiwen dozed off after hearing this. There was no good news. He covered his mouth and yawned widely, saying: You can just handle these matters by yourselves. Are there any bigger matters?

All the ministers in the court were sweating wildly. Are these trivial matters? So what else is a big deal?

I have a script to start this memorial. Cheng Yan stood up and said.

Mr. Cheng, tell me. Emperor Xiwen still had a good impression and trust on Cheng Yan. Compared with those surnamed Dong and Wang, Cheng Yan, who had been his companion since childhood, never wished for his early death.

In the early years, I asked people to search for new varieties with high yields. Recently, there has been news that a maritime merchant has brought back a crop called sweet potato. It has been initially planted on a trial basis. The yield per mu can reach six stones. This is I, the Great Zhou Sage, have been blessed with great blessings. I would like to request the Sage to try planting this plant on Hebei Road and Shaanxi Road to observe the effects. Cheng Yan said.

Oh? Are you serious about this? Emperor Xiwen became a little interested. Although he didn't like government affairs, after being the emperor for so many years, he still knew the impact of high-yielding food crops on him. For example, he didn't need to take so much money during famine years. Go to disaster relief and get yourself more spices and jewelry.

Yes, Secretary Lang Chengjia saw this with his own eyes and persuaded the merchant to submit the improved seeds. After a pause, Cheng Yan said, The merchant also expressed his willingness to bring back the 200,000 yuan worth of seeds. Two silver coins of spices for the Holy One.

Really? Emperor Xiwen suddenly smiled and said, Well, this person is quite interesting. Prime Minister Cheng, please praise him on my behalf. Well, I will give him the word righteousness to commend him for bringing back such a good variety. , if it can really succeed, it will undoubtedly be a great blessing to the people of our great Zhou Dynasty.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty... Balabala said a lot of flattering words.

Cheng Jiali stood at the end of the hall, lowering his head and flattering everyone, but he sneered in his heart. The technical support of one hundred thousand taels of silver turned into the spice tribute of two hundred thousand taels of silver. Is his father really old?

After flattering him, Emperor Xiwen, who had received two hundred thousand taels of silver spices for free, was in a good mood. He finally remembered today's business and said, Didn't I say that Zhao Yinfeng and Yang Zhao will come back today? Where are the people?
