I was a prince in ancient times

When Xie Anlan was preparing for the bank, Lu Chengjia finally arrived in Jianjia City.

It can be seen that Jianjia City was severely destroyed by the Grassland Ministry. The former majestic city wall has now become only ruins. Even if the Yong Dynasty took over for a year, the scars on it cannot be healed with careful maintenance.

Lu Chengjia raised the curtain of the car and looked at this strange yet familiar city, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Cousin, I can only send you here. I'm still rushing to report to the military camp, so let's go."

Fu Zhao understood Lu Chengjiao's feelings. His father, mother, brothers and sisters were all buried here, so why not feel emotional now.

But war is like this. After several years of military career, he has taken life and death very lightly. Perhaps one day, he, his father, and younger brother will all be buried in such a barren and dilapidated city or in the wilderness. Saying that you are not afraid is not afraid.

Lord Grim drunk lying on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times.

For people like them who came from a family of generals, being able to die on the battlefield is not a disgrace, but an honor.

Just like Lu Guogong back then, he would rather bring his whole family to die on the battlefield than take the blame and commit suicide.

"Farewell." Lu Chengjie jumped out of the carriage, his eyes were slightly closed by the wind and sand, and the inertia of his body made him stretch out his hand naturally, wanting to pull the people around him.

It turned out to be empty.

Suddenly remembered that Xie Anlan didn't come with him, the palm of his hand was empty, and there seemed to be an empty space somewhere in his heart.

Fu Zhao and his party rode away in the vast dust, leaving only a few hundred people who were brought out from the Prince Chen's mansion by Lu Chengjiao.

"Master, do you want to go to the palace first?" Jianjia City is Xie Anlan's fiefdom, so there is naturally a palace in the fief, but I don't know if it is still there after all these years.

Except that Lu Chengjie came to Jianjia City once to collect the corpses of his family when he was a child, he was actually very unfamiliar with it, and he had nowhere to go at the moment, so he had to agree.

The carriage slowly drove into the city, and the skinny people in the city would occasionally poke their heads out of the corner to look at them, wondering in their hearts who came to Jianjia City.

As soon as the carriage entered the city, Lu Chengjiao couldn't help frowning, "The imperial court has already sent officials to clean it up, why is the city still so dilapidated?"

"I don't know, I'll ask someone later." Lu Chuyi couldn't help frowning when he saw the dilapidated houses on both sides of the street and the unkempt people hiding in the corners.

It shouldn't be, the imperial court had specially sent someone to take over it before, why is it still like this.

Not long after, a group of people passed by the streets of the city with great fanfare. Lu Chuyi found the location of the palace with the fief division map that Faubert intended to hand over to him.

The former site of the Wangfu is not bad, unlike the dilapidated houses around it, it still seems to be in good condition, but Lu Chengjie and Lu Chuyi couldn't help frowning after seeing it.

While looking at it, the imperial court finally got the news and sent an official to receive it.

"Peng Xiangnian, the magistrate of Jianjia, the next official, sees the concubine." The middle-aged man, who was about 40 years old and looked a bit vicissitudes, hurriedly saluted Lu Chengjia.

Lu Chengjiao nodded slightly.

After seeing him, Peng Xiangnian hurriedly got up and took out the key of the palace from his clothes, opened the gate of the palace, pushed open the door of the palace, and said with a sneer, "Don't blame the princess, there are too many things in Jianjia City. Dealing with important matters in the city has delayed the princess."

Lu Chengjie didn't pay attention to these trivial matters, but instead looked into the palace, his face became a little ugly in an instant.

Someone had obviously cleaned the palace on purpose. Although the inside was empty, it was much cleaner and tidy than the outside.

It was precisely because it was too clean and tidy that Lu Chengjiao looked ugly.

I also want to know that the palace is still so intact, it must be that the important ministers of the grassland department have been stationed in it.

Even though the traces of their lives had been cleaned up inside, Lu Chengjie still felt a little disgusted.

Especially this royal residence belonged to Xie Anlan, who had been ruined by grassland people like this, and felt angry and stuffy, as if someone had stabbed his heart with a needle.

"Master..."

As soon as Lu Chu knew Lu Chengjia, when he met Lu Chengjia, he refused to step into the palace, so he murmured in a low voice.

"Go get two tents to set up camp, and then find some people, and I will dismantle this palace in a few days." Lu Chengjiao took a deep breath, turned and left the palace, and told Lu Chuyi who was behind him.

His order scared the prefect Peng very much, and he said anxiously, "But the officials have not done enough."

"You've done a good job." Knowing that Lu Chengke was in a bad mood, Lu Chuyi took the initiative to answer for him, "It's just that our princess can't live in this palace where people from the grasslands lived. "

With such a reminder, Peng Zhifu immediately realized that this princess is from the Lu family and has a deep blood feud with the grassland department. Wouldn't it be an insult to ask him to live in the palace that the grassland people once occupied.

"It's because I didn't think carefully," Peng Xiangnian hurriedly apologized, and made up for it. "Why don't I go and clean up the inn for the princess to stay in. The inn is newly built, but it's a bit crowded."

Lu Chu took a look at Lu Chengjiao's expression, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, "It's okay, you can clean it up."

Seeing that he agreed, Peng Zhifu relaxed his brows, and hurriedly gave some instructions to the officials who followed behind him, and the officials took orders to do it.

Lu Chuyi then turned to ask, "It has been a year since the imperial court sent you to take over Jianjia City, why is Jianjia City still so dilapidated."

These words touched Peng Zhifu's sore spot, his face was ugly and ugly, he pursed his lips, he was busy at the moment when he didn't know what to say, Lu Chengke had already led someone, turned to another street, his expression changed drastically immediately, and he wanted to go forward Go to stop, but it's too late.

The other street was much more lively than this street, and there were people squatting everywhere in tattered clothes and muddy like beggars.

They gathered together and listened attentively to the speech of the people dressed like them on the high platform.

"The imperial court will not accept people like us who were captured by the grassland department. We were abandoned. We were full of hope that Jianjia City would be recovered. As a result, the imperial court ignored us. One year has passed, Jianjia The city is still the same as it was a year ago, if we knew this, we might as well live in the hands of the grassland people, at least we can still have something to eat!"

"Princess..." When Zhifu Peng rushed to Lu Chengjie's side, he happened to hear the person on the high platform talking eloquently, and was so frightened that he lost his soul.

"This is..." Lu Chengjia frowned.

"These are disobedient sects in the city. They just know how to incite the people without doing anything all day long." The prefect Peng broke out in a cold sweat. After explaining to Lu Chengjiao, he told the officials behind him, "Go and arrest the speaker. , and drive out the rest of the people."

"Wait." Lu Chengjie stopped the officials, frowned and looked at the prefect Peng, "Arrested and used again?"

Prefect Peng shook his head with an ugly face, of course it was useless, people arrested batches after batches, and there was almost no room to squat in the cell, but every once in a while a group of instigators like this would come out again.

"Why are they making trouble, there must be an explanation." Lu Chengke just heard the words of the person on the high platform, as if he was dissatisfied with the court.

"They want to eat meat, and want Jianjia City to return to its previous appearance." Zhifu Peng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained the matter in detail.

When Jianjia City was in the hands of the Grassland Department, it was actually not as dilapidated as it is now. After all, the city has already belonged to them, and if it is damaged, they will need to spend manpower, material and financial resources to repair it.

Therefore, although the prisoners of the Yong Dynasty in the city were not living as expected, at least they still had a place to live.

But from the moment the grassland department decided to return the city, the people of the grassland department began to wreak havoc endlessly, the original "tranquility" was suddenly broken, their residences were gone, everything was gone, and they became beggars overnight Son, the people who couldn't accept this kind of gap spread all their grievances on the court of the Yong Dynasty.

No matter what they do, they will not be able to restore the hearts of these people, unless Jianjia City is restored overnight.

how can that be.

Jianjia City has been destroyed so badly, if the people in the city work together, they might be able to recover a little vitality within three to five years, but these people not only refused to listen to persuasion, but took the lead in destroying it.

After hearing this, Lu Chengjie frowned, "Then let them make trouble like this."

"The two leaders who were killed earlier not only ignored the matter, but made them resist even more." Prefect Peng was also helpless when he said it. He had already reported the matter to the emperor, and the emperor asked him to take gentle measures.

Now, he couldn't beat him, he couldn't scold him, and in the end he had to stand in a stalemate.

After understanding the cause and effect, Lu Chengjie nodded, turned around and left without saying a word.

"Princess...then these..." Zhifu Peng chased after him and asked again.

Through the contact just now, he felt that the princess did not seem like a good person to get along with, and she spoke with a bit of anxiety.

"Don't worry about them." Lu Chengjie shook his head, "Let them go."

"Let them go..." Zhifu Peng was baffled by Lu Chengke's words, and he was still confused when he returned to the government office.

The inn was packed, and Lu Chengjie stayed in the inn at night.

Due to lack of manpower or lack of money from the court, the inn was built so cramped that even Lu Chu frowned when he saw it, "I have wronged you, young master."

"I have nothing to be wronged about. I have lived in a place no matter how bad it is before." Lu Chengjia didn't feel wronged. He took alcohol out of the bag and asked Lu Chuyi to wipe the inside and outside of the house with alcohol.

Lu Chuyi dipped a handkerchief in alcohol, and hurriedly wiped out a stool for Lu Chengjiao to sit on, "It used to be before, but it's different now."

"It's nothing different." Lu Chengke shook his head, then took out a pen and paper from his bag, and began to write a letter.

He first frowned and wrote a letter to Feng Zhixian in Yicheng. It was only the beginning of spring, Feng Zhixian's appointment had not yet come down, and he was still in Yicheng.

After finishing writing the letter to Feng Zhixian, he wrote a bunch of letters one after another until it was dark outside the inn and Lu Chu lit up the glazed lamp, then he took out a different letter paper and started writing letters to Xie Anlan .

It is convenient to live in a post station. Once Lu Chengke finishes writing the letter, he can hand it over to them directly.

Just after the new year, the temperature has not yet warmed up, lying on the couch in the post station, Lu Chengke tossed and turned all night without getting a good sleep.

He didn't sleep well, and it was fun in the barracks on the other side.

For Fu Zheng, there was nothing more gratifying than Fu Zhao's return intact.

Besides, Fu Zhao not only came back, but also brought them good medicine that could heal injuries and a telescope that could assist in combat.

Fu Zheng didn't understand the medical treatment, so he nodded expressionlessly to express his understanding, but the binoculars aroused his interest.

Put it on the eye and play with it, and refuse to let go.

It is already night, and there is not much to see in the distance. After trying it, I will let it go.

"Since you have this thousand-mile mirror, from tomorrow onwards, the border patrol will be handed over to you." Fu Zheng returned the telescope to Fu Zhao, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Fu Zhao responded excitedly. When he was in the capital, he wanted to come back to avenge his shame. Now that he has a binoculars in his hand, he is even more powerful.

With the binoculars in hand, Fu Zhao really has no disadvantages on the grassland. In the past, when looking at the grass, things a little closer were fine, but things farther away were completely useless.

Now this disadvantage has been completely broken. For them, the ambush of the grassland department can be seen from a distance. The grassland department's idea of ​​ambushing them has become a thing of the past, and now they go to ambush them. Kill the Prairie Department.

After suffering a few big losses, the Grassland Department learned to behave and no longer approached the border of the Yong Dynasty, and the border of the Yong Dynasty finally calmed down.

The time has entered mid-February, and it has been half a month since Lu Chengjia came to Jianjia City. After all, this place is not as prosperous as the capital. He has lost a lot of weight, but he is full of energy every day.

Starting three days ago, a large number of people from Yicheng came to Jianjia City.

After seeing such a dilapidated city, Lu Chengke made a bold decision. Since it was already rotten like this, why bother to repair it, and just pushed the rebuilding, so you don't have to worry about it.

He is not short of money or goods, but the only thing he lacks is people. Rebuilding a city requires too much manpower, and the people of Jianjia City are unwilling to cooperate, so he has to seek foreign aid.

It just so happens that Yicheng is not far from Jianjiacheng, with only a Yanhe River in the middle, and it can be reached by water in two or three days.

Back then, the refugees in Yicheng still remembered Xie Anlan's kindness a lot. They heard that the prince needed manpower to rebuild Jianjia City, and all those who were not busy at home rushed here.

With manpower, the first thing Lu Chengjiao did was to push away the palace in Jianjia City.

Neither he nor Xie Anlan would accept a palace where the enemy army once lived.

He would rather put more effort into rebuilding one.

As the letters he wrote arrived one by one, all the supplies were delivered to Jianjia City.

Every day outside Jianjia City, a large number of people who deliver supplies and pack their bags come to help.

Peng Xiangnian stood on the wall of Jianjia City that had been destroyed to a height of less than half a meter, and looked at the people who kept coming in and out, his lips parted in surprise.

In the past, I only knew that the Prince Chen's Mansion was rich, but I never thought that it would be so rich that it would rebuild a city without bringing it to him for discussion.

Lu Chengjia had no time to pay attention to the surprised Peng Xiangnian. As more and more people came to Jianjia City, he gradually lost his mind to think about other things, and put all his thoughts on building the city.

If it is to be built, it must be built. He specially found a lot of master craftsmen who can build cities from Yongchao Trustees, and he is squatting with these master craftsmen in the cramped post station to discuss how to rebuild Jianjia City.

It's definitely not the same as before.

Fortunately, the time left for them is still very rich, and this can be gradually improved later. He wants to take the lead in building the Chenwang Mansion.

What is being discussed at this meeting is the construction of the Prince Chen's Mansion.

"I want a fish pond that can run through the entire mansion, and a building that can be climbed high, without adding a backyard..." He remembered that Xie Anlan liked koi, and liked to toast to the moon from high places.

He wanted this new palace to be filled with Xie Anlan's preferences.

As he put forward one request after another, the graphics of Chenwang Mansion also appeared vividly on the paper of these master craftsmen.

After reading it, Lu Chengjie corrected some minor dissatisfaction, and asked the master craftsmen to lead the people who came to help to start work.

"Young master, some people are looking for you outside." Lu Chengjia finally had time to drink some water, and Lu Chuyi hesitated and came in to report.

"Who is it?" Lu Chengjia put down his teacup and stood up.

"It's the people of Jianjia City." When Lu Chuyi said this, his expression changed.

He still remembered that when they first came to Jianjia City, these people hid when they saw them, and even looked at them with hatred, and they didn't have much affection for them.

Lu Chengjie looked indifferent, as if he had guessed the ending, and left the station.

Outside the post station, there were quite a few unkempt and disheveled people from Jianjia City. When they saw a fairy-like figure coming out of the post station, the courage that had been built up in their hearts disappeared completely.

Even the few standing in front took the initiative to step back, fearing that this celestial figure would be disturbed.

"Don't be afraid," Lu Chengjie saw them stepping back from the post station, thinking they were scared, and smiled gently, "I won't let anyone catch you."

This was said without the slightest momentum, but the people of Jianjia were very convinced.

After more than half a month of getting along, they found that this adult really didn't care about them. They saw him pass by their meeting place several times, and he didn't bother them.

And since he came to Jianjia City, the magistrate never sent anyone to arrest them, just pretending that they didn't exist.

At first they were very happy, no one was in charge of them, they could do whatever they wanted.

But gradually at the end they couldn't laugh anymore.

The lord gathered many, many foreigners, and heard that Jianjia City was to be rebuilt, and many uninhabited places in Jianjia City were demolished.

The places where people live have not been touched yet, but they have already sent people to negotiate. If they are willing to demolish the houses, they will give them enough money. At the same time, they promise to give them another place to live after the new city is repaired. Those who are not willing to demolish Forget it, they will re-divide the city.

In other words, if they do not agree, they will not be counted as the people in Jianjia City, but the people outside the city.

They couldn't sit still when they heard the news, they had to choose to dismantle it no matter what.

Their houses have been destroyed by the Ministry of Grasslands to the point of being uninhabitable. , At this time, someone is willing to spend money to buy it, how could he not agree.

What's more, he also promised to arrange a place for them to live after the construction of Xincheng.

When they heard the news, they wished that someone would come to talk to them immediately, but they didn't get any news after waiting.

Some people inevitably murmured in their hearts. Maybe it was because they were always uncooperative with the government, so this big man also felt that they were thorns and ignored them.

This person just can't bear to think too much, and when he thinks too much, he will think wildly, and when he thinks wildly, he will panic, and when he is flustered, he will naturally seek a solution.

Finally, everyone made a decision and decided to ask this adult to see if the news was true.

Before they came, they had typed out countless excuses, but when they came to the front, they saw such a beautiful person who looked like a banished fairy, but they couldn't get out of their mouths.

"It's okay, just let me know if you have anything to say." Seeing them standing there, hesitating to speak, Lu Chengjie said warmly.

"I..." The one at the front parted his lips timidly, and didn't know how to ask.

"Huh?" Lu Chengjie looked at him in search of sound, waiting quietly for his next words.

Being stared directly at by the adult, the man immediately lowered his head in embarrassment, seeing his naked and dirty toes shrunk, and then looked at his clothes that were so dirty that they could no longer be seen, he was ashamed and indignant.

If I knew it earlier, I should change clothes and find a pair of shoes that can cover my feet.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is too late to regret it now, the man paused for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and looked at Lu Chengjiao with difficulty.

"My lord...we heard..." The man spoke tremblingly, stumbling, "I heard that the city is going to be rebuilt, so I'm here to ask you."

After asking, his mind went blank, and he felt that the adult in front of him would order his guards to drive him out later, what was he asking.

Lu Chengjia thought they were going to ask something very important, but he didn't expect to ask this. He smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It is true."

"..." The man didn't expect Lu Chengjia to be so talkative, so he asked boldly, "Then our house..."

"If you agree to demolish your house, you can demolish it. If you don't agree, no one will force you." Lu Chengjie understood why they came after hearing him ask this question.

"We are willing." Hearing his words, many people in the crowd said they were willing.

"As long as you are willing, I will ask my subordinates to find you to record the files later." Lu Chengjie nodded with a smile.

Hearing this adult's affirmative words with his own mouth, the stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground.

Everyone couldn't hide their joy on their faces.

Lu Chengjie said again, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No, no more." Everyone waved their hands, not daring to look directly at him.

Lu Chengjiao nodded, turned around and was about to go back to the post station. At this time, a woman standing far away suddenly asked, "My lord, I want to ask, is your construction site still recruiting people?"

This woman wanted to ask a long time ago. She saw that those outsiders came to work in Jianjia City. Each of them received three copper coins a day, as well as two meals in the morning and evening. full.

Since the Grassland Department withdrew, the imperial court returned their fields and distributed food to each household. However, they have always resisted the imperial court this year. The crops in the fields were not taken care of, and the harvest was not good, so there was only enough to eat Half full enough, starving but also uncomfortably hungry, the temptation to have two full meals is too great.

After the woman boldly asked, the rest of the people remembered this and all looked at Lu Chengjiao dumbly.

Lu Chengjie smiled and said affirmatively, "Of course, as long as you are willing to go to the construction site, someone will want it."

"Your Excellency is very kind." The crowd turned from questioning to sincere thanks in an instant, and many of them wanted to kneel down to Lu Chengjie.

However, after Lu Chengjie finished speaking, he entered the post station, and the smile on his face faded.

The pie they thought was nothing but a rumor spread by Lu Chengjie in advance.

Of course, the purpose is to subdue these people to do labor for him. Spring is coming soon, and the people from Yicheng will only be busy for a while at most. After the spring, they all need to go back to sow seeds.

As for the money and houses that he promised to give them, he will also give them back, but it is just to give them back the wool from them.

When Peng Xiangnian saw that Lu Chengjiao easily solved the thorns that had troubled him for a year, he had to admire him, but he couldn't learn it without the financial support.

Whenever he is free every day, Lu Chengjia loves to write letters to Xie Anlan. Lu Chuyi occasionally glances curiously, and sees two lines of short poems written at the beginning of the letter.

I don’t see you in a day, thinking like crazy.
