Marry the Regent [Time Travel]

When Song Quan came in, the couple had already sat solemnly behind the desk, He Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Song Quan inexplicably felt a little cold all over his body, thinking that maybe it was cold at night and he wore less clothes, so he didn't care, just lowered his head and reported seriously: "News came from the capital, the Queen Mother has noticed Xue Chong's disappearance, and has secretly investigated , it didn't take long to point the finger of suspicion at the Yan Palace, but then withdrew the staff and did not continue to pursue this matter."

He Yuan was not too surprised by this. Xue Chong had met the Queen Mother before he went to Jiangnan, and the Queen Mother only realized that his disappearance was an afterthought. He shouldn't have the freedom to run around, and it's not uncommon to die on the road to exile. The queen mother is not related to him, so naturally she dared not pursue it blatantly, and it was impossible for Xue Chong, who had fallen out with him, to marry Yan Wangfu. Straight up.

Now that the queen mother had given up on the investigation, He Yuan didn't plan to do anything more, but confessed: "Master Kang will return to Jiangnan soon, you should arrange more people on the way to protect their safety, and Jiangnan will also keep an eye on it."

Xue Chong had a falling out with the Queen Mother, and it took a long time for the Queen Mother to discover his disappearance. It can be seen that the Queen Mother did not know about Xue Chong's murder of Kang Xingwei, but the Queen Mother was sure that the Taizu's edict was in Kang Xingwei's hands. I know, this time Xue Chong was arrested by the Yan Palace, and Kang Xingwei lived in Qingzhou for a while. The Queen Mother should have guessed that the Yan Palace also knew about the edict. In fact, they have already ignored a Jin Wang, and they can no longer ignore the Queen Mother.

Song Quan, as He Yuan's confidant, naturally knew the relationship between the Queen Mother and Xue Chong, so he solemnly accepted the order: "My subordinates must make proper arrangements to ensure that Mr. Kang's family is safe and sound."

He Yuan nodded, not too worried about this. After all, the hard power is here, and he has not been in power for a long time, and his influence is still there. It is not difficult.

Song Quan didn't leave in a hurry, and reported to Xue Yunzhou: "The road to Pingcheng has been paved, and the underground telegraph line has also been laid. Do we need to select some people to receive training?"

As a pure ancient person, Song Quan still finds it difficult to understand words such as "telegraph" and "training". It is easy to accept these new and weird things.

Xue Yunzhou has been in charge of the telegram, and nodded immediately: "It can be arranged. Pick some young and smart people. The most important thing is to be loyal enough. Pick people first. Two or thirty people should be enough for the time being. The rest will be arranged later. After he paused, he continued, "I'll go over tomorrow to do a test, and after confirming that the telegrams can be sent and received accurately, I can start preparing for the second line, which will be laid along with the road behind."

Song Quan already had a certain understanding of the sending and receiving of telegrams, so he was not puzzled: "Yes."

Xue Yunzhou looked at the map on the wall with several routes marked by himself, and said: "Starting next month, two more roads will be built, one leading to Jiangnan and the other leading to Yuncheng."

This was decided after he discussed it with He Yuan and discussed it in the small court. The purpose of connecting to Jiangnan is to facilitate the transportation of a large amount of grain, vegetables and fruits in the future. The border gate not far from Yuncheng is considered to be used for military purposes. The construction of the two roads is going hand in hand, and the amount of work can be imagined.

Song Quan was a little surprised: "Two roads together? This...I'm afraid there are not enough people..."

Xue Yunzhou looked heroic: "What's so difficult about this? The successful examples are in the front, refugees! How many homeless refugees are there in the whole country? Hurry up and spread the word, and call them all to our Qingzhou. We have money, but we lack manpower. gone."

He Yuan sat by the side, his eyes twitching from the shock of his upstart tone.

Song Quan also choked for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, this subordinate will make arrangements now."

As soon as Song Quan left, He Yuan immediately hugged Xue Yunzhou and looked at him deeply: "Let's continue."

Xue Yunzhou was thinking about the telegram, and raised his head absent-mindedly: "Huh?"

He Yuan saw that although he was looking at him, he was clearly looking out of the sky, and felt upset immediately, he frowned and lowered his head and bit his lips: "Continue."

Xue Yunzhou's bones froze, his heart skipped a beat, and he came back to his senses. He couldn't help laughing, squinted his eyes and stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick his lips. Before he could move in time, he was hugged horizontally by He Yuan, and suddenly he was embarrassed: "Don't hug the princess——"

He Yuan hugged him and strode to the back of the screen, and fell down with him on the slump together.

Xue Yunzhou thoroughly enjoyed the "chest thump", swallowed hard, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull He Yuan's belt, and said in a hoarse voice: "Continue to continue..."

He Yuan has been quite busy recently, and the two of them haven't made out for several days. He Yuan looked at him almost on fire, and quickly lowered his head and kissed him.

The next day, the two woke up in the study. Xue Yunzhou had already cultivated a face that was three inches thicker than the modern one in the ancient environment without privacy. After washing up and having breakfast under the service of Yu Qing , smiled and kissed He Yuan on the lips, and went out with a happy face.

He Yuan looked at his back with a smile in his eyes, seeing that he was already a father, and he was still walking in a disorganized manner. He couldn't help being in a daze for a moment. It seemed that the two of them had returned to the modern age and lived an ordinary life every day. In the little days of my life, I said goodbye to each other after breakfast, those who go to work, those who go to school, my heart is at ease and warm.

He suddenly thought, no matter whether this life is a reality or a dream, if the two of them can return to modern times in the future, he will take the initiative to pierce the window paper, and will not deliberately suppress and cover up his true thoughts with a harsh appearance.

After Xue Yunzhou went out, he went straight to the telegram sending and receiving point in the palace, and used his self-created password to send messages to several receiving points along the telegraph line. Those points had been guarded in advance, and they responded one after another after a short while. The test results were all within Xue Yunzhou's expectations, and there were no problems.

Xue Yunzhou was so happy that he hurriedly issued a series of orders. On the one hand, he stepped up the selection of manpower for training, and on the other hand, he recruited laborers to follow the road construction team to lay new telegraph lines.

Just as Xue Yunzhou expected, the first batch of refugees received generous rewards for ordinary people for participating in the road construction project. Some foremen even started to build their own houses and prepare to settle down. This successful precedent quickly scratched the itch of Qingzhou people. So much so that as soon as the notice for recruiting labor was issued, the gate of the yamen was quickly overcrowded, but considering that some people would be left to farm, the recruitment conditions in the notice were set more stringent, so that many people who were not selected were embarrassed sigh.

It is naturally impossible for such a big movement in Qingzhou to be hidden from the prying eyes of people from all walks of life. In fact, as early as when the first road was halfway under construction, the news had already reached the capital. At that time, the emperor was so angry that he wrote a letter directly Come over and ask He Yuan why he built the road privately and why he stretched his hands outside Qingzhou.

He Yuan understated: The road was built to facilitate the transportation of grain and fodder to deal with the ambitious Tuli in the north. Everyone knows that Qingzhou is desolate. Qingzhou soldiers guard the border for the imperial court and fight on the battlefield. Qingzhou can't solve the grain and grass by itself, right?Pingcheng is a transportation hub, no matter where food and grass are transported to Qingzhou, they have to go through this place. What's wrong with building a road from Pingcheng to Qingzhou?Could it be that when Tuli came to fight, the soldiers went to the battlefield hungry?Besides, since the road was built, have you asked the court for a tael of silver?

The emperor was choked to death when he saw the reply letter, and he really didn't have the guts to challenge Yan Wang's mansion. In the end, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his stomach. .

Unexpectedly, this patience lasted for nearly two years. Finally, the road was repaired, and the emperor was relieved. Qingzhou was busy again, not to mention continuing to build roads. He was so angry that his face turned blue on the spot.

The booklet was handed over by He Yuan. This time, He Yuan did not engage in the trick of killing first and playing later. Anyway, the matter had already been put on the table, so he simply reported to the emperor before starting the construction, and he used the same reason.

After all, there are still many followers of the former Prince Regent in the court. These people don't talk about whether they are satisfied with the former Prince Regent, at least they have long been tied to the interests of Prince Yan's House. Facing the current situation, they naturally want to speak well for He Yuan.

The emperor made these ministers so angry that their hearts, livers and lungs ached, and they broke the banknotes and scolded angrily: "He kept saying that Qingzhou was poor, so where did he get the money to build roads?"

All the ministers held their hands in silence for a long time, thinking about the same thing in their hearts: His Royal Highness King Yan is like an evil spirit, who would dare not build roads for him as soon as he gives an order?How much silver can be used?Besides, he had covered the sky with one hand in the capital for so long, how could he still have no money in his pocket?He used his own money to build roads, and the court really had no way to pursue it. After all, there had never been a precedent for such a thing, and there was no clear statement in the law.

The emperor also thought of this after he calmed down after getting angry, and suddenly felt a little depressed. Now King Yan's actions have shown his ambitions, but there is no real conspiracy. He really has no reason to punish He Yuan, even if he wants to After some careful consideration, he didn't have the confidence for the time being. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to give up.

Regardless of how angry and entangled the emperor was, everything in Qingzhou was developing in a good direction. After autumn, Kang Xingwei set off to return to the south of the Yangtze River. When he arrived there, he immediately became a lobbyist for He Yuan. Melaleuca.

Relying on Kang Xingwei's character and influence, He Yuan's reputation suddenly improved. After a period of deliberation, the Qingzhou government successfully signed contracts with major grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. It gave the people of Qingzhou a big reassurance.

With this reassurance, and the sweet potatoes promoted by Xue Yunzhou before, the people of Qingzhou no longer have to worry about being hungry.
