Marry the Regent [Time Travel]

The huge project of road construction has been halfway through. At the beginning, knowing that the old and weak, women and children of the family have been properly resettled after they arrived in Qingzhou, the refugees who built the road were grateful, and gradually regarded themselves as part of Qingzhou, and started working Come very hard.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the road builders no longer live in the dug ditches, and sleep directly on the ground with grass, sawdust and clothes after nightfall.

It's just that in the past, everyone chatted happily for a while, dreamed about the future, and soon snored everywhere. The rumors that started from nowhere in the past few days gradually disturbed them and they couldn't sleep.

In the night, insects chirped and chirped, Zhao Laosan tossed and turned, and was so agitated that he scratched his hair fiercely, turned over and sat up, lightly kicked Sun Laosi next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you asleep?"

Sun Laosi opened his eyes quickly, and said in a muffled voice, "No!"

Li Laowu on the other side suddenly said, "You two haven't slept yet?"

At this moment, the surroundings became lively, and people responded one after another. It turned out that everyone was not asleep, so they got up and squatted in a circle, chatting in a hurry.

"I heard that Prince Yan's mansion has no money at all. Is this true?" Someone started the conversation and talked about the topic that made them sleepless.

Another person sighed: "It should be true. Everyone is saying that the Qingzhou coupons in our hands are just waste paper. When the road is finished, we are afraid that we will drink the northwest wind again."

Someone in the corner snorted coldly: "Don't you just get some benefits and forget about it. When King Yan was the regent in Beijing, his reputation was so bad that anyone who made him unhappy would lose his family."

In the darkness, everyone shuddered.

Zhao Laosan reminded: "Be quiet, don't let the foreman hear you."

Everyone nodded again and again, and their voices immediately became quieter.

The foremen are all sent by King Yan's Mansion. They don't rest in the middle of the night and chew the tongues of King Yan's Mansion behind their backs. Naturally, they want to avoid those people. Fortunately, they are far away from the foreman's resting place, so they don't have to worry about being overheard. go.

It's just that no one noticed that a thin figure sneaked out of the crowd after they finished talking and went to report to the foreman.

Soon, Ding Yong got the news. He was not too surprised by this situation. The promise was not fulfilled for a day, and those people could not be completely at ease for a day, but this time it happened too concentrated and suddenly, as if someone Throwing a big rock into the lake quickly and violently disrupted the calm of the water.

"Continue to monitor and see where the rumors started, who is fanning the flames, who has had contact with outsiders, all must be investigated." Ding Yong ordered them one by one, and stood alone on the hillside for a while, and then returned. When they arrived at the tent, they wrote a letter to He Yuan and sent it overnight.

He Yuan quickly received the news, frowned, and turned to Xue Yunzhou, "Has there been any progress in the gold mine?"

Xue Yunzhou shook his head: "Master Wuchen is still refining it. He said there are signs of it. When I went to see it in the afternoon, he hadn't succeeded in refining it."

He Yuan's face was solemn: "You can't pin all your hopes on him, you still have to find another way. If you were not in a hurry before, you could wait for him to experiment slowly, but now people's hearts are inexplicably unstable. I'm afraid something will go wrong. If you don't stop those people in time People's mouths, sooner or later, will affect the construction of roads, and when people's hearts are scattered over there, the refugees who moved to Qingzhou will also cause trouble. Once this trouble comes out..."

Xue Yunzhou naturally knew what he was worried about.

Although he is the vassal king of Qingzhou and the one and only master of Qingzhou, he doesn’t have to face a group of old foxes in the company like he did in his previous life. He urgently needs to make achievements to prove his ability so that he can secure his position. The word people's hearts.

What's more, Qingzhou is close to the frontier, and the people here are tough and difficult to control. If they lose the support of the people, they will encounter resistance to implement any reform measures in the future, and all their ambitions will become empty talk.

King Yan's reputation was not good, but before King Yan came back, Qingzhou was still full of vitality under the management of King Yan's Mansion, and King Yan's Mansion had a certain weight in the hearts of the people, but this time there were bad signs in the road construction workers. Carelessness will become the fuse that destroys the credibility of King Yan's Mansion.

Thinking about it this way, Xue Yunzhou couldn't sit still: "I'll go to Taoist Priest Wuchen to have a look!"

He Yuan didn't stop him, he nodded and let him go.

Xue Yunzhou came back soon, dejected, apparently there was no substantial progress.

He Yuan patted his head, and immediately ordered to speed up the search for craftsmen who were proficient in smelting gold and silver.

Within a few days, people on the construction site began to show signs of laziness, and gradually, some people began to blatantly contradict the foreman.

These people in their early years are bachelors with no age or youth, those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, and in addition to living a comfortable life for the past half a year, they completely forget how this comfortable life came about, and they will fight with the foreman as soon as they have a brain bleed What's more, they put down the tools in their hands and shouted to strike.

"I'm quitting! I'm quitting!" The prickly head took out a stack of Qingzhou coupons from his pocket and held them above his head, and shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't be fooled by the Yan Palace, they have no money at all!"

After this commotion, many people immediately put down the tools in their hands, while the rest looked at each other in blank dismay, and began to hesitate in their hearts.

When Ding Yong rushed over, half of the people had lost their hands, squatted or sat, or looked resentful, or sighed.

"What's going on?" Ding Yong's voice was like a bell, and his eyes were directed at the person who took the lead in trouble.

The man looked fearless, but the hesitant people at the side hesitated to pick it up one after another, lingering and unwilling to work, and did not dare to confront the people above, just wasting there , It seems to wait for an explanation.

Stinghead hummed and sneered: "Prince Yan's mansion is too deceitful. It tricked us all here, but it fooled us with this kind of waste paper. If we don't see real money today, we will stop doing it! Go home and farm. !"

Ding Yong stared at him carefully, with an angry expression on his face: "If you can eat enough to eat when you go home to farm, why are you so destitute that you leave your hometown and beg for a living? Now you are full of food and clothing, King Yan Is it reasonable to treat you kindly, but you repay kindness with grievances!"

Many people below shrank their necks and bowed their heads, but they were still a little unconvinced.

Ding Yong sneered: "You guys are making trouble here now, but have you forgotten what life was like before? Yanwang Mansion promised that you would exchange Qingzhou coupons, and you couldn't wait to start arguing before you arrived in Qingzhou. Could it be that when you make a fuss, Yanwang Mansion is going to kill you?" Are you fulfilling your promise ahead of time?"

The prickly head raised his neck and snorted coldly: "It's fine if you don't exchange it, then let us take a look! See if the Yan Palace really has silver! If you can't get it out, then you are lying to us!"

Ding Yong laughed back angrily: "The majestic King Yan's Mansion is threatened by you to let you mess around. How can such a King Yan's Mansion be convincing? King Yan promises you can fulfill it, and you will be able to fulfill it. You just need to plan your way carefully." If you go to Qingzhou, the Yan Palace will never treat you badly!"

Someone in the crowd shouted: "After all, it's just trying to cover up that you don't have money!"

Ding Yong looked at the crowd with sharp eyes. He is a martial arts practitioner. He is not very good at appeasing people's hearts, but he is very good at finding people with different expressions. He immediately winked at the people around him and ordered in a low voice : "Look at that person."

"Yes."

Ding Yong raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Ask yourselves, has the Palace of King Yan treated you harshly in the past half a year? How are these days compared to before? You have built the road to Qingzhou in a safe and sound way. As long as you repair it, you will have no worries about food and clothing. Even if you can't get wages, it's better than leaving now and continuing to live without clothes and food. What's more, the king of Yan kept his promise and promised you a lot of wages. What else do you want? fulfilled?"

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, many people began to waver, and some even showed shame.

What kind of life they lived before, what kind of life they are living now, even if they don’t have wages, they can still earn money. Many people go to labor, but they don’t have enough to eat, and they even get beaten, maybe even their lives.

What are they dissatisfied with?
