wife and king

Chapter 80·The Heart of the People

In the early morning of the next day, Eunuch Li hurried on the horse at a slow pace, and Yan Cangling came to see him off in person early on, and handed good medicine and silver to his arms, coaxing people into smiles and flowers. They all lost their color. Of course, the consequence of sending things indiscriminately is that they will face a darkened face when they return home.

"Gollum."

Yan Cangling swallowed subconsciously, stalked his neck, and asked cautiously: "Jing Han, what's wrong."

"What's the matter?" Ji Linchuan leaned on the table with one hand, stroked the end of his long hair calmly, and said in a neutral manner, "How many things have you given that person during this period of time."

Yan Cangling paused, grunting in his heart, but his face remained calm, pinching his fingers to make calculations, his eyeballs slid around in all directions, and said deliberately nonchalantly: "I guess it's not much, it doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter?" Ji Linchuan frowned, and the original crescent moon was frowned into rolling hills, "Do you know that you squandered your money so much that it fueled that man's arrogance?" He suddenly stood up and looked at Yan Cangling with a somber expression, " As a prince, you live in a city of tens of thousands of households, and you sit in all directions, so you naturally don't care about the small money, but you know, how many people are starving without food these days, how many people are seriously ill and have no money to buy medicine, but you just casually change hands Giving money to others, but it is a big sum every time. Originally, I didn't care about these things, but I just went to the cashier and found out that the money you gave to Eunuch Li during this period is ten thousand taels. Mu Qing," Ji Linchuan's face was full of clouds, "Do you think your silver is inexhaustible?"

Yan Cangling's heart skipped a beat, and his eyebrows furrowed accordingly, as if he disagreed with his thoughts: "It's just for convenience in the future. Now that Eunuch Li has been bribed by me, there will be someone in the court to help him, so it's not good."

"Okay?" Ji Linchuan raised his voice, "Are you sure that what you said is true? I won't stop you if you want to bribe someone. It is indeed the way to go, but I implore you to pay a smaller denomination when you buy someone. Silver taels, converted into medicinal materials, etc., pick some medicinal materials that look expensive but are actually cheap to send, this is more than silver taels in quantity, it will give people the illusion that they have gained a lot, and it is better than a thin paper waste of silver bills it works."

Yan Cangling nodded, opened his mouth, always wanted to hold back a few words, but when he thought about Ji Linchuan's words with confidence, he deeply felt that what he said was indeed reasonable.

For a moment, feeling guilty, Yan Cangling lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

"You promised me to listen to me," Ji Linchuan raised his head, looking for Yan Cangling's eyes hidden under his hair, the deep meaning in his words could not be ignored by Yan Cangling who bowed his head, "You promised well before, I forgot to go right now. I know it’s not easy for you, but I also hope that you can think about it in many ways, don’t just think about the convenience of the moment, let’s not talk about it,” Ji Linchuan turned and left, “If you talk too much, it will only hurt you You, you can figure it out for yourself."

Yan Cangling raised his head and saw Ji Linchuan's thin and thin back. Suddenly, his heart stabbed, and he stepped forward and put his arms around his chest: "Jing Han, Jing Han," calling out over and over again, tentatively, carefully, "Next time I will Be sure to pay attention, if you think there is anything I can do, just say it."

Ji Linchuan was not really angry with him, he heard him ask so sincerely, so he turned around and hugged him and said, "What I want you to do is not difficult, and now you are about to turn your power to Nan Xiang, but your power Huge, how can it be turned away overnight? Moreover, at most you can only let Zhong Liang and others disguise themselves and go to the Southern Prime Minister, but you cannot take away everyone in the mansion, including the mansion army. Then at this time, you need to You have to gather people's hearts in Fangcheng, and even if you really can't get back the power here, you can let the people here support you when you really plot rebellion."

"How to win people's hearts?" Yan Cangling asked softly, and secretly pecked Ji Linchuan, "Fang City is so big, what can I do."

Ji Linchuan propped his chin and thought: "No matter how big Fangcheng is, the wind is spread by people's words. Do you still remember the group of villagers brought by Yao Liang, how are they doing now?"

Yan Cangling replied honestly: "I gave them half of my land, and now they are using my land for farming."

"However, you have to consider that once you leave, the field will be gone, and they will have no place to farm."

Yan Cangling's smile froze, and he clapped his hands in shock and said, "Yes, how could I forget about this?"

Ji Linchuan pursed his lips and said, "Is there still barren land in Fangcheng?"

Yan Cangling frowned: "I don't know about this, I have to ask Edo Cao in the mansion, he knows more about this."

"Ask," Ji Linchuan turned to face Yan Cangling, "First ask if there is any barren land, and then you will find a few reliable landowners and rent them on the grounds that you will leave Nanxiang and will no longer be able to use your own land for the villagers. They lent their fields to those villagers. He said that in order to make up for the villagers, he would rent the land to them. But because you are not in Fangcheng, this field can only be rented for three years, and after three years, the rent will be borne by them. Afterwards, you will ask Qingbo to help spread your good deed of renting the land, so that you will lose your heart."

"Then," Ji Linchuan laughed again, "You said that you were about to leave. Some of the things you bought in this house were not needed, so you sold them at a low price. Of course, you can't really sell them at a low price. You have to buy an appraiser first. Let him deliberately raise the price up, and you deliberately lower the selling price, so that everyone thinks the price is very low and buys one after another, so that a large amount of money will be credited."

"Jing Han!" Yan Cangling's brows stretched out following his words every word. He never thought that just a few words could solve his future worries.

"However, the money for selling things cannot be taken away." Ji Linchuan pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his fingers and said, "No matter how big Fangcheng is, there will always be people who can't eat enough and don't wear warm clothes. You can let go of the money." In other words, it is to raise money for the refugees, sell the things, and after the money is available, the next day, they will distribute food and supplies to the refugees, and let the doctors in the mansion visit the seriously ill patients free of charge You said that after you left, you would no longer have the ability to benefit the common people. I hope everyone is not surprised. Although you are acting like this now, you are suspected of acting, but it is not too late to make up for it. If you can win a person's heart, it is one."

Yan Cangling was stunned and at a loss, like a baby who hadn't learned the tongue, faltering and saying nothing smoothly. During this period of time, he had been focusing on transferring the power of Fangcheng to Nanxiang, and he hadn't paid attention to it at all. On top of consolidating Fangcheng's power, fortunately having such a good wife can make up for what he neglected.

"Jing Han, you are really my good wife." Yan Cangling rubbed against Ji Linchuan's ear coquettishly. I don't know where he got the habit of rubbing against Ji Linchuan's neck recently. The skin there is smooth and tender. Seeing the faint fragrance of ink on Ji Linchuan's body, whether it is touch or smell, it is very comfortable.

"It's done, don't act like a spoiled child, I haven't settled with you yet about the fact that you spread money to buy people." Ji Linchuan has been worn down by Yan Cangling now, and he would turn red when Yan Cangling came up to him before. , avoiding his gaze, although he would be slightly blushing now, but he could calmly turn away Yan Cangling's head, "Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Yan Cangling's heart skipped a beat, with an ominous premonition: "Jing Han, what do you... want to do."

"Well," Ji Linchuan leaned his back against Yan Cangling's chest, tapped his chin with one hand, pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled, and when he turned around, he blatantly put his hand into Yan Cangling's arms.

"Jing Han, what are you doing?" Seeing that Ji Linchuan was smiling happily, Yan Cangling also smiled, but the smile was unclear. So, he grabbed Ji Linchuan's groping hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Touching the money," Ji Linchuan gritted his teeth, took out a money bag and a few banknotes without hesitation, counted them in his hand, and the amount was quite a lot, his brows frowned suddenly, Yan Cangling actually carried such with him Going out with a lot of money, it's strange that he is so generous.

With a turn of his elbow, he shoved the money into his arms, patted it triumphantly, and then secretly glanced at Yan Cangling, smiling innocently: "I will keep your money for you, in the future you will If you want to use it when you go out, ask me for it again, so you don’t have to waste your money everywhere.” Facing Yan Cangling’s stiff face, he patted his head with a smirk, “Be good.”

"..."

Therefore, from this day on, Yan Cangling was banned from receiving money. If he needed anything, he had to write an application to his concubine, and only with his own consent could he receive the money. Dark joke.Yan Cangling's face darkened, thinking why I was the only one who was restrained in the mansion, and you have to do the same, so while he was still able to control the people in the mansion, he waved his hand and asked them to follow the trend of thrift and frugality. The money allocated by the government will be exchanged for food and materials and distributed to the poor local people.

He put what Ji Linchuan said into action, and asked Wang Bin to discuss with various landlords and lease several cheap fertile lands for the villagers brought by Yao Liang. In front of the gate of the mansion, he knelt and kowtowed, with tears in his eyes.After that, Qingbo let the matter out, and within a day or two, everyone in Fangcheng knew about Yan Cangling's kind deeds.Taking advantage of the popularity of the limelight, Yan Cangling immediately sent out money to help the poor people, in exchange for more people's hearts, and some people who were unable to survive even expressed their willingness to follow him and work for him. There was a lot of noise, and the common people passed word of mouth on Yan Wang's good deeds.

Later, as long as Yan Cangling transferred the power in his hands to the Southern Prime Minister, it would be a big deal, but at this moment, something happened.
