poor family young gentleman

Early in the morning, before dawn, Chu Tianlang returned to Tongyang County with the token given by Ah Zhong, Ah Xin and Ye Junheng, which can dispatch the Xichang Jiedu Jinyiwei in various prefectures, and the Qingjiang Hou Mansion sent dead soldiers to intercept Feng Yi About Heng and the others, Feng Jiye asked Yin Huanyang to find a way to disclose it to Wu Jin. After all, it was Dongchang who was ordered to pick them up this time. If something happened to Feng Yiheng and the others on the way, they would be the first to be questioned. It must be him.

Wu Jin is a real villain. After confirming that the news was correct, he found an opportunity to tell the emperor calmly. It is said that on that day, the emperor came to the Xianjun Palace again, but he did not stay overnight, but summoned another concubine Waiting in bed, the next day the emperor rewarded the harem even more. Even Yin Huanyang's father, Chen Jun, was conferred the title of Virtuous Lord, and he was squeezed into the ranks of the four concubines. , all interviews with her natal family must be approved by him.

This incident brought a huge blow to the Xianjun and the Qingjiang Houfu. In addition, Yin Huanyang asked people to submit the criminal evidence about the crimes committed by the Qingjiang Houfu clansman years ago. It’s still hurting them a lot, and it’s not over yet. Ever since the leaders of the big families joined hands with their wives to endorse Mingye Department Store on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Shengyuan Grocery Store and Tianxin Building they run have completely lost their business. .

Feng Jiye knew that they already hated him to death, yet he didn't shy away from others. He personally visited Fireworks and Willow Alley with great fanfare, announcing the acquisition of Zuiyue Building. The Zuiyue Building was closed that day, and Shuri Wanqing brought a large number of them His workers entered the building and began to decorate according to the drawings given by Feng Jiye. All the young men in the building who were willing to stay had to receive their special training, and he didn't force those who didn't want to stay, and let them be sold as prostitutes. Qi left, and at the same time recruited young officials from Yanhualiuxiang on very attractive terms, regardless of gender, which caused great trouble to the entire Yanhualiuxiang. After all, most of the oirans in the building are young officials. And they are all free agents like Feng Yichuan and the others, they can leave whenever they want, no one can stop them.

Generally speaking, a Kun's involvement in Fengyue will more or less be criticized by the common people or those scholars who are clearly prostitutes but claim to be lofty. Knowing that he bought Zuiyuelou to suppress Cuiyunju, the Qingjiang Houfu has already planned it. They wanted to use public opinion to discredit Feng Jiye, but what they didn't expect was that Feng Jiye had made such a big deal, not only did the people not talk about him, even the scholars didn't criticize him, some people even looked forward to reopening What a surprise the Zuiyue Tower will bring them. The Qingjiang Hou Mansion arranged for those who went out to incite the people to be useless, and they were often scolded by the people and fled with their tails between their legs before the topic was brought up.

Perhaps many people don't understand why, but brothers Feng Jiye and Ye Junheng see it more clearly than anyone else. Ming Xia Kingdom has been fighting for years, and the people have suffered untold hardships. Now it has been almost a year since the disaster, and the court has not done much. They need faith and need to live, and Feng Jiye is the one who gives them hope and becomes their faith. As long as he doesn't wantonly kill the people, they will continue to regard him as the son of God and believe in him. Anyone who tries to discredit him People will become their enemies.

At the same time, Feng Jiye formally summoned the managers of various villages, explained the matter of cultivating new seedlings, and announced that 1000 people from the refugees would be scattered and resettled in the villages to help with farming. Yin Huanyang also wrote a letter to the court, suggesting that the court Relocating refugees to various villages, dividing land for them, and comprehensively carrying out matters related to spring planting, the couple put the people first at all times, not only won the appreciation of the officials, but also won the praise of all officials. With a lot of people's hearts, the only person who may be unhappy is the emperor who sits high on the Golden Luan Hall.

"Look, it's the car of the prince and his wife."

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, there are only two days left before the crown prince's canonization ceremony. Feng Jiye of Xinglin Village, who finally handed over to the Ministry of Households two days ago, was busy with Zuiyue Building and planting, so he brought his younger brother and husband with him. The lion father and son were about to go to Xinglin Village to check, when two off-road vehicles drove out of the city, a large number of refugees rushed up.

"The prince is a thousand years old, the prince is a thousand years old, and the prince is a thousand years old!"

"Thousands of thousands of years!"

"Chitose..."

Regardless of the cold and slippery weather, the common people poured out of their tents and knelt on both sides of the official road. The off-road vehicle stopped suddenly. Yin Huanyang and his wife got out of the car with their son in their arms. But Ji Ye waved his hand, took her husband's hand and walked towards the people beside the official road: "Everyone, get up, it's cold and slippery, don't catch the wind and cold again just a little bit."

The voice mixed with internal energy clearly entered the ears of everyone present, and the common people kowtowed and stood up one after another. Feng Jiye smiled and looked at the people closest to him. They were still skinny, but their complexions were much better. They are no longer as dead-faced as they were years ago. The two meals of porridge and steamed buns a day, plus the unlimited supply of pork bone soup and appropriate medical intervention have completely changed their appearance.

"You look much better. Don't worry, the spring planting will start soon. The crown prince has already given a memorial to His Majesty. The imperial court will arrange for you to settle down and reintegrate into the village. As long as God doesn't abandon you, we don't have to wait until the harvest time." This kind of hard life without enough food."

Feng Jiye smiled sincerely, and Yin Huanyang, who was holding his son, also gave a rare smile. The husband and wife are so approachable, the hearts of the common people tightened, and they felt warm. An old man who looked like five or sixty years old said excitedly: " Thank you, Prince and His Royal Highness, thanks to you, the old life of Cao Min can survive until now."

"Thank you, Prince, His Royal Highness!"

The people were excited and shouted in unison again. Many people's eyes were red. Without them, they really don't know if they would have survived. Now they not only survived, but many of them were hired by the prince , No longer have to worry about food and clothing in the future, even if they are not employed, they will soon be able to get rid of their refugee status and regain their household registration and their own home.

"His Royal Highness, the grassroots have something to ask, can you?"

A man in his [-]s or [-]s squeezed forward, Feng Jiye nodded: "What's the matter?"

"Thank you, Prince, what Caomin wants to know is, after we settle down, will the imperial court divide the land for us?"

The land is the root of the people, and this is what they are most concerned about. Everyone can't help but look at them eagerly. If they just arrange for them to settle down, insert them into various villages, and provide them with the land that no one lives in. houses, but they are not given land, how can they start spring planting, and how can they improve the status quo?

"Yes, the crown prince has submitted this matter to the cabinet, and the official imperial list will be released soon. Don't worry, the court will make arrangements for you."

Feng Jiye and his wife looked at each other, and Yin Huanyang answered the other's question aloud, but...

"What about that seed? Can the imperial court also provide it?"

The man couldn't wait to ask again, he knew that he was pushing his feet a little bit, but they were penniless and had no money to buy seeds, so it would be different when the time came and they could only foolishly guard the land and wait for death?

"That's it."

Yin Huanyang gave Feng Jiye a look, and Feng Jiye said with a faint smile: "To be honest, the imperial court really has no seeds to provide to everyone. The Ming Xia Kingdom has been in drought for nearly a year, and a large number of refugees have emerged all over the country. , not only in the capital, the food stored by the imperial court has basically been used up, but you don't have to worry, I have purchased a large number of high-quality food seeds from overseas businessmen, including rice, wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. After your household registration is confirmed and the land is divided, I will ask Xiao Lingjun’s General Fang to help with statistics. I can lend you the seeds you need for spring planting, no matter what they are, and wait for you to harvest them. Just give me back the quantity given to you, but I want to say the ugly words first, those seeds are extremely difficult to get, in order to buy them, the crown prince and I have used all our savings for many years, if you are not using it for planting, but If you eat it greedily, I will definitely report to the Jingzhao Mansion to hold you accountable, then don’t blame my husband and wife for being unreasonable, I hope you will not let us down.”

Blind kindness will only make people take it for granted. The so-called Dou Mi En but Mi Qiu is like this. He wants them to know that as far as the two of them are concerned, they don't owe them anything. He has plenty of food, but only Borrow or send.

"Thank you, Prince, Prince!"

"Thank you, Prince, Prince!"

The common people were grateful for their benevolence and knelt down again with tears in their eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Feng Jiye exchanged glances with each other. This time they did not kindly ask them to get up, but turned back to the car. Two off-road vehicles drove Thanks to the people, they drove away from the city gate and went straight to Xinglin Village.

Xinglin Village is located about five miles east of the capital city. There is no direct access to official roads. There is only one small road that people walk all the year round, which can be used by bullock carts. But as long as you pass through the small road, you will find a flat road from the front to the village, with sparse plantings on both sides of the road. Wintersweet is still blooming and standing upright in the cold wind. The other side of the village is close to the river, and behind it is the continuous deep mountains.

"No one here is proposing to build a pier?"

Parking the car at the entrance of the village, Feng Jiye and the three of them pushed the baby carriage and Lao Shi and his son did not enter the village in a hurry. An important water transportation transfer station in the capital, didn't people in the past think of using it?

"No, if you want to build a dock here, the village will have to be demolished. The court has no shortage of docks, and the villagers in Xinglin Village will not agree. If it wasn't because we are the ones who want the village, the Ministry of Household Affairs wants them to move out. I know how to do it, but we can build a private dock here in the future, and build dikes, warehouses and small hydroelectric facilities along the way."

Ye Junheng opened his arms and closed his eyes, enjoying the breeze blowing in the river comfortably. At the beginning, he fell in love with this place not only because of the wintersweet trees, but also because of its surprisingly good location, which could satisfy all their needs. need.

"Well, let's go to the village and have a look."

Feng Jiye smiled and nodded, and the three of them turned around at the same time. The village was a little bigger than they had imagined, probably similar to Wanjia Village. Wintersweet was planted in front of and behind every house, and the whole village exuded the light fragrance of wintersweet. Fragrance, for the two brothers who like wintersweet, this is undoubtedly an extremely comfortable thing.
