Xi'an City.

After a busy day of official duties in the simple Three Provinces Governor's Mansion, Shi Tianyu was really tired.

I even want to drink. Even when I lie down sometimes, my brain is still working at high speed and it is difficult to calm down.

Post-war reconstruction was really hard.

It is easy to say that it is easy to comfort the people and keep the country safe, but it is difficult to do. It requires real money. Every time Shi Tianyu inspects a place, he needs to repeatedly talk about his governance philosophy, how to love the people like his own children, how to attract businessmen to invest and start businesses, how to make sure that all children can go to school and have books, and that only when people have culture can their thinking be enlightened, and they can become civilized, and they can make more money to support their families, etc. But here, Qin Feng is tough and difficult to educate.

Some officials have lived in poverty-stricken and backward areas for a long time and have rigid ideas. Often, even after Shi Tianyu talked for a long time, they still didn't understand what he was saying and were confused.

Shi Tianyu had no choice but to transfer Zhu Xiang and Dai Yutian to Qin to serve as prefects in order to drive a change in the ideological thinking of some officials.

Now, Shi Tianyu finds it really hard to fall asleep without drinking to numb himself.

These days, Shi Tianyu has not returned to the system space to spend time with his wives and concubines. He feels overwhelmed and very tired.

~

So, that night, Shi Tianyu took a jar of wine and returned to his attic on the third floor, ready to drink some wine, get himself drunk, and then have a good sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Tang Meiling waiting for him in the room.

Shi Tianyu was stunned.

~

Tang Meiling was indeed very beautiful, and at this moment, she was as green and juicy as a new bamboo shoot. When she saw Shi Tianyu coming in, she stood up and threw herself into Shi Tianyu's arms, saying delicately, "Husband, have you forgotten Ling'er? After the rebellion was put down, why did you come directly to Shaanxi? Why didn't you stay in Chengdu for a while? Why?"

The night wind blew, blowing up Tang Meiling's long hair.

What Shi Tianyu saw was a pretty and sweet face.

So, Shi Tianyu put down the jar of wine, thought that this was his fate, and had no choice but to let it go. He hugged Tang Meiling and rolled into the bed.

……

~

The autumn breeze is refreshing and natural, the mountain flowers are in full bloom, and the autumn colors are beautiful.

During the day, accompanied by He Baofu, Lu Yuan, Tang Meiling and others, Shi Tianyu traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Qin, sympathized with the people, and proposed four things: "repairing houses for villagers, redividing land, setting up schools, and attracting investment" so that the people could have fields to plant, houses to live in, books to read, and become rich. The first three things can be effective by spending money.

The last thing requires long-term efforts.

At the same time, Shi Tianyu recommended Sun Chuanting, who had been unemployed at home because he was dissatisfied with Wei Yan's dictatorship, to come out of retirement and take up the post of Shaanxi Chief Justice, and recommended Hong Chengchou to be the Shaanxi Commandery. This combination formed a powerful three-office in Qin to implement the four things proposed by Shi Tianyu, thereby attracting population return.

At night, Shi Tianyu and Tang Meiling were inseparable.

While accompanying Shi Tianyu on his inspection tours of various places in Qin, Tang Meiling also tacitly identified some mountains, rivers and passes. Relying on her innate talent and super memory, every day when Shi Tianyu was busy meeting various guests, Tang Meiling drew maps of these mountains, rivers and passes based on her memory, and asked Peng Jinshi, who came secretly to meet with them, to take the maps away and hand them over to Aobai and other powerful generals for safekeeping, or send someone to take them back to Liaodong and hand them over to Huang Taiji or Nurhaci.

This was the time when Tang Meiling was enjoying success in both her career and love life.

Because Shi Tianyu was too busy to have the energy to pamper other wives, he could only pamper Tang Meiling, and he didn't know what Tang Meiling did behind his back.

~

The practical policy measures made Shi Tianyu gain the hearts and reputation of the people in Qin. Two months later, Yao Luyang led Gao Jianguang, Qian Youyu, Jiang Zaixing, Li Baiqing and other wealthy merchants from Sichuan to Qin to invest and start businesses, and they also received rich returns. These wealthy merchants got a lot of fields, forests and mineral resources from Shi Tianyu.

Having just experienced a war, the imperial court had no time to send a mining supervisor. The merchants wanted a reward for their efforts. They donated money and grain to Shi Tianyu to do practical things for the people, and they also wanted to get back the huge rewards that belonged to them.

The big managers of "Yujing Chain Bank" Zhou Shaozhou and He Zhanyong also went to Xi'an and opened a branch of "Yujing Chain Bank" and a branch of "Fengqinyuan". "Fengqinyuan" was full of beautiful women.

This was also the beauty selected from Jiangnan by Zhou Shaozhou at Shi Tianyu's request.

The presence of beautiful women attracted many merchants from all over the country to invest and start businesses in Qin.

~

The situation in Qin has improved, and Shi Tianyu decided to go back to Sichuan to take a look. He couldn't let Dai Kun be idle.

As for Diankun, Shi Tianyu didn't want to go there, because there was a Prince Mu there. If he went to Diankun, Shi Tianyu would definitely intervene if he saw something he didn't like, but this would cause a conflict with Prince Mu.

Why not, Shi Tianyu will actually be the governor of the two provinces.

Anyway, it is impossible to raise too much money and food at once to pacify the people and maintain peace in central Yunnan.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu decided to temporarily avoid this contradiction and take care of Qinchuan and other two provinces. Shi Tianyu was going back to Sichuan for inspection, and Yao Luyang, Gao Jianguang and other Yin merchants would definitely accompany him, firstly to visit relatives in Sichuan, and secondly to show that he had a close relationship with the governors of the three provinces.

~

Tang Meiling naturally also accompanied them.

However, Tang Meiling had already decided in her heart to get rid of Shi Tianyu, who was the "thorn in her side".

The more popular Shi Tianyu is, the more Tang Meiling wants to get rid of him.

Because this involves the interests of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and has nothing to do with love.

No matter how much Tang Meiling loves Shi Tianyu, she will be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the future. If Shi Tianyu is not eliminated, Tang Meiling will feel that it will be difficult for the Jin soldiers to enter China, to gain control of the Central Plains, and to gain control of the world.

After accompanying Shi Tianyu for several months, Tang Meiling has found a way to get rid of Shi Tianyu.

~

When the autumn wind blows, the leaves are dyed into beautiful bright red and golden yellow.

The Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion in the Imperial Palace was always crowded with people.

At this time, the commander of the imperial guards, Wan Yuankang, led Aobai in disguise.

In order to gain Wei Zhongxian's support, under the guidance of Wan Yuankang, Oboi entered Wei Zhongxian's study. Oboi put aside his self-esteem and airs, knelt down to Wei Zhongxian, and had a secret chat with Wei Zhongxian for two hours.

No third party knows what the specific content is.

But there is one thing. Oboi presented Wei Zhongxian with a lot of supporting materials that Shi Tianyu was the son of Shi Feiyang, the world's number one hero twenty years ago. The handwriting was neat and tidy, and there were a series of portraits of Shi Tianyu without clothes. Oboi pointed to Shi Tianyu's birthmark on the portraits and told Wei Zhongxian.

~

Oboi promised that if Wei Zhongxian could eliminate Shi Tianyu, the Jin soldiers could return some strategic fortresses such as Guangning Prefecture, Songshan Fort, Xiping Fort, etc. to the Ming army, and also promised not to attack the Lindan tribe.

In this way, the Jin soldiers also returned half of Liaodong to the Ming Dynasty. Aobai signed a contract on the spot and handed it to Wei Zhongxian. However, the contract would only take effect after seeing Shi Tianyu's head.

Such an important exchange condition made Wei Zhongxian think of the great merit of defeating the enemy without fighting.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian was immediately bewitched and agreed to Oboi's request. If he could take back half of Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao would be happy and excited, and he would be able to sit back and relax and live a few more years, maybe even decades more.

~

Jiang Meilin rode back to Kyoto and came to the "Mingjing" inn. After Shi Yuyan and other heroes left, Jiang Meilin met with her parents in secret. She reported Shi Tianyu's physical characteristics in detail to her father Jiang Chaoyuan and mother Ren Jing, and presented her father Jiang Chaoyuan with the treasure map of the Ming Cult that she copied from Shi Tianyu's back.

Jiang Chaoyuan was overjoyed, and then he took a bath, changed his clothes, and went to the palace to meet Zhu Youxiao.

In this way, both Jiang Chaoyuan and Wei Zhongxian had obtained all the "evidence" to put Shi Tianyu to death.

~

The bright moon hangs in the sky, casting its light all over the ground.

At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao was lying on the dragon couch. After listening to Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai, and Murong Sheng's report on the suppression of the rebellion, he suddenly became radiant and energetic. He ordered someone to summon Empress Zhang and Crown Prince Zhu Junkai, and said to Empress Zhang: "Empress, help me up and take a walk in the Imperial Garden."

Empress Zhang was very surprised and excited, so she helped Zhu Youxiao up and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are awake? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" At this time, Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng had already left the Qianqing Palace and returned to their homes to visit their relatives.

~

Zhu Youxiao said, "Queen, I was in a daze before, but when I heard Minister Kou, Minister Li, and Minister Murong saying that Shi Tianyu had chopped off Xu Guan's head, I don't know why, but I suddenly became completely awake. Let's go for a walk outside. Minister Murong talked about how Minister Shi comforted the people and maintained peace in the country. I was really excited and moved. I am also very relieved about the Qinchuan area. Minister Shi is indeed a good and honest official who loves the people like his own children! He wore golden armor after a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and Shi Lang's ingenious plan brought peace to the world. Not bad! Not bad!" After that, he laughed again, like a naughty child, holding Queen Zhang in one hand and Zhu Junkai in the other, and walked out of the bedroom together.

~

The guards dispersed nervously and stood guard.

While holding hands with Empress Zhang and Zhu Junkai, Zhu Youxiao vividly told Empress Zhang how Shi Tianyu suppressed the rebellion, pacified the people and maintained peace in the country, and set up schools to strengthen the education of the people's children.

The family of three strolled among the flowers, plants and trees in the Imperial Garden, breathing the fresh air.

Zhu Junkai was still very young, but after listening to how Shi Tianyu quelled the rebellion, he actually said with emotion: "With a talent like Lord Shi, His Majesty can rest easy. The most creative thing Lord Shi did was to proactively allocate excess silver to support the war in Liaodong. Very good! Very good!" At such a young age, he was far-sighted and truly had the talent of an emperor.

Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang burst into laughter, and were very satisfied with Zhu Junkai's performance. Empress Zhang's heart also drifted with the wind, wandering in the infinite beauty of her husband's lingering love. The night wind blew, and the leaves swayed.

After walking for a while, Empress Zhang asked again in confusion: "Your Majesty, Lord Shi Aiqing wants to pacify the people and maintain peace in the country, and he also has to support Liaodong's grain supply. He also gave 50,000 taels of silver to Pan Ruzhen in Huguang, and he also wants to reduce the taxes of the people in Qinchuan for three years. So, what will Lord Shi Aiqing use to develop the three provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan and Shaanxi and support so many soldiers? How can he run schools and pacify the people and maintain peace in the country?"

~

Zhu Youxiao said: "Shi Aiqing is both wise and brave, and has great foresight. On the one hand, he collected countless money and grain from the rebels. On the other hand, Shi Aiqing vigorously developed the handicraft industry and introduced many wealthy merchants from Jiangnan to Qinchuan to invest and start businesses.

Third, many wealthy merchants donated a lot of money and grain to Shi Aiqing, all of which were deposited into the public treasury of the provincial governments in Qinchuan under the witness and supervision of Zhang Jiaxuan and Sun Chuanting, the upright judicial inspectors of the two places, and Zhang Jiaxuan and Sun Chuanting were authorized to supervise their use.

Fourth, Shi Aiqing has already started military settlement to solve the problem of military supplies. Shi Aiqing has now begun to inspect the prefectures, counties and cities of Qinchuan, inspecting the repair of houses and the establishment of schools. Shi Aiqing said that the money for the next spring administration can be raised by holding the Chengdu Lantern Festival, without the need for the court to allocate funds. The Chengdu Lantern Festival is already famous all over the world. If Shi Aiqing holds it, it will attract wealthy merchants from all over the world to invest and start businesses in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Shi Aiqing is very good at managing money! I have thought about it. Since the cabinet chief Ye Xianggao wants to resign, let him resign, let Wei Guangwei serve as the cabinet chief, and let Shi Aiqing concurrently serve as the Minister of Revenue. In this way, the court will never lack money and grain again. "
