Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

When Pei Linzhi came back, Xiao Yu's heart finally fell to the ground, and his mood was as open and clear as the clear autumn sky. Everything he saw was pleasing to the eye, and his heart was much more peaceful. Those annoying things in the court hall seemed to be less annoying. .

This year Pei Linzhi was not in Beijing, Guan Shan also went to the border, the front line has been fighting to raise soldiers, there are many affairs in the court and various situations occur frequently, making Xiao Yu very anxious.

Raising 10,000+ soldiers and tens of thousands of servants for more than a year, the pressure is not insignificant.Not all ministers in the DPRK and China supported the Northern Expedition. Opponents believed that the foundation was still shallow and could not withstand the consumption of such a large-scale and such a long-term war.

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and refused to let go. Everything needed by the front line was continuously supplied, such as troops, food, clothing, medicinal materials, military pay, pensions and so on.

Despite the war, Xiao Yu did not increase the agricultural tax. Agriculture is the foundation of the country. As long as the agriculture is stable, the cornerstone of the country will be there.

But maintaining the war requires money, so he put his idea on the commercial tax, which increased by [-]% to [-]% uniformly.

The main people engaged in commercial activities were the original landlord class, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction among these people, but there was nothing they could do.

Before Xiao Yu took over Anguo, the population was divided according to grades. Noble, good, merchant, slave, and lowly, the grades had already been divided from birth, and it was insurmountable.

How could Xiao Yu endure this kind of classification, so he banned noble, business and lowly status, and only kept two kinds of good status and slave status.

Because the original landlords and rich households kept many domestic slaves, and these people belonged to their private property.

Xiao Yu did not completely ban the slaves at once, but the slaves and the good ones enjoy the land equalization policy, and also introduced detailed slavery protection regulations. In terms of actual status, the slaves and the good ones are not much different.

The children born of slaves are all of good nationality.If it is not registered, the land cannot be allocated.In this way, the chance of concealing the report is greatly reduced, and those masters will not raise a few more mouths for no reason in order to conceal the population.

The imperial court also issued a decree prohibiting all human trafficking, even prisoners of war or slaves bought back from other countries could not be enslaved again.

In this way, the landlord class will not be able to organize large-scale rebels by buying and selling people, and ordinary people with land will not easily follow them to rebel.

In order to raise money, Xiao Yu even issued bond coins, which are equivalent to treasury bills, and sold them to the private sector, promising a certain amount of interest, and redeeming them at maturity in three or five years.This method is much more reasonable than increasing coins, at least it will not cause a large amount of money to flow into the market and cause inflation.

Issuing bonds is similar to private lending, but the interest rate is lower than that of private usury.But because it was sold by the imperial court, the reputation is guaranteed, and the people are willing to buy it.The issuance of the coupons went very smoothly, and they were sold out in just one month.

This method made Min Chong, even Qian Baozi, admire him. Xiao Yu had such a clever trick, he could raise the expenses he needed right now without robbing or cheating.

Another advantage of using this method is that the original landlord class mainly buys coupons, because only these people have extra money to buy coupons.

They bought the imperial court's coupons, and in order to redeem their own money when it expired, they naturally had to support all the imperial court's measures, and completely died of the restless heart that was about to move.This is also a big help in maintaining stability.

Pei Linzhi understood Xiao Yu's actions over the past year, and his eyes overflowed with praise: "I just said, no one is more suitable for this seat than you."

Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "There is nothing suitable or inappropriate, they are all forced out. Such a big stall always needs someone to clean it up."

Pei Linzhi squeezed his shoulders: "It's because of your hard work."

Xiao Yu said: "It's okay, no matter how hard you are, the soldiers who are born and died. Speaking of this, the pensions of the soldiers have not been collected yet, so worrying. No matter how much money you earn, it's not enough!"

Pei Linzhi said: "Don't worry about pensions for the time being. We seized a lot of gold and silver from Xirong, as well as Xirong's copper coins, and used them to re-melt them, and then distribute pensions to the soldiers."

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "That's right, why did I forget this. It's okay, it's okay, this problem can be considered solved." No wonder there is a saying that wars are used to support wars, isn't this just ready-made.

Don't be so anxious to fight Dongrong in the future. Take a two-year recuperation and save some wealth before fighting. Don't be so stretched, even the Han people in Dongrong will have to suffer for a few more years.

When will the days when the world is unified and the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful?I really hope that day will come soon.

Two days after Pei Linzhi came back, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.At that time, people did not pay much attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Xiao Yu attached great importance to it. Every year, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated grandly, not only to worship the moon and admire the moon, but also to have a reunion.

On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Yu held a banquet in the palace and invited the old people of Yazhou to gather together. It was a family banquet.

From a psychological point of view, the talents brought from Yazhou are the ones Xiao Yu trusts and relies on the most, and they are his own people. Compared with the relationship between subordinates and colleagues, he is more willing to regard them as family members.

When they left Yazhou, most of these people were high-spirited young men and ignorant children.It has been nearly ten years now, and the children have grown into teenagers, and most of the young men have married and started businesses, married wives and had children. The number of people is nearly half more than the day they left, showing a trend of vigorous development.

This is also the status quo of the country under his rule. The people gradually settled down from the precarious life of being displaced, and began to live and work in peace and contentment. They are full of confidence and yearning for the future life.

It is night, the autumn wind is slightly cool, the dark fragrance is floating, and the moonlight is pouring down like mercury, making the world into a poem and painting.

In the Cuiwei Pavilion next to the river pool in Taichu Palace, the candlelight and the moonlight intertwined with the sky and water complement each other, illuminating the guests and friends who are full of laughter.

Those who came out from Yazhou that day, except Jishan and Jihai brothers who were not present, all of them came with their families, even Jishan's Persian wife Tai'an brought a mixed son.

Xiao Yu especially liked this kind of excitement. The scene reminded him of the night class in Baisha Village, men, women and children gathered around the campfire, eagerly listening to him, Linzhi and Meng Hong lecture and tell stories.

In retrospect, such a simple and happy day feels like a lifetime away.

Xiao Yu was immersed in memories when he suddenly heard A Ping call him: "Daddy, Daddy!"

Xiao Yu came back to his senses: "What's the matter with Ping'er?"

A Ping said with a smile: "I just heard the second and third senior brothers say that when they were in Yazhou, father and master told stories to everyone every night. Is it true?"

"That's right." Pei Linzhi took the topic, glanced at Xiao Yu, and said with a smile, "Back then, your father and I ran a school at home, and gave evening classes and storytelling to everyone at the door of our house. You were still a baby at that time, I'm very clingy to your father, at night, you don't want anyone but him, so he can only hold you in one arm while giving lectures to everyone. But your father is exhausted."

A Ping smiled in disbelief: "Really? So, I also attended classes with my father and master?"

"Exactly. Didn't you follow me to the school, remember?" Xiao Yu smiled.

A Ping shook his head: "I only remember some things in Panyu, and I was too young at that time. Speaking of which, the brothers are still Daddy's students?"

Min Chong on the side smiled and said, "Not only your senior brothers, but not many of you here are disciples of the Son of Heaven. People like Dayong, Xiaochun, and Yu'er all attended your father's class back then."

A Ping laughed: "Then they are all my brothers and sisters."

Xiao Yu said: "It's true. I really miss Yazhou, especially Baisha Village. Your master and I built the houses there. I just don't know if I will have a chance to go back and have a look."

Min Chong on the side smiled and said: "Your Majesty is really a child at heart, and he has always been thinking about everything in Baisha Village."

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "How can I forget, that is the most unforgettable memory. Thanks to everyone's great help and overcoming difficulties, we have come to today step by step. I like to gather with old friends from the past, because they can always remind me not to forget. Beginning."

Pei Linzhi looked at him tenderly, no matter how many years passed, no matter how high he stood and how far he looked, but he never forgot where he started from.It is not only his luck to win Xiao Yu, but also the luck of the people in the world.

A Ping said: "If Daddy really misses Yazhou, in the future when the world is unified and the sea is clear and the rivers are clear, then he can take a tour south and go back to his hometown to have a look."

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "I really want to go and see it. But I still don't want to go. If I leave, it will be a waste of time and money. But you, after you have learned kung fu, you can go and see it for your father. "

A Ping is no longer an ignorant young man. He has already studied the art of the emperor, and he knows what his father said is very true. It is easy to say, but it is quite troublesome in practice: "My child remembers what my father said, and I will measure the world for my father in the future." .”

"Good boy! Remember, this world is not yours and mine, nor is it the Xiao family's world, but the world's people. Our father and son are just temporarily in charge of the people in the world. We must always put the people in the world in the first place." Think about it." Xiao Yu followed the trend to educate his son.

A Ping knew half of it: "Ping'er will keep it in his heart."

At this time, Meng Sigui and Ju Yan came over, holding wine glasses in their hands, and Meng Sigui handed the wine glass in his right hand to A Ping: "Your Highness, we brothers and sisters toast your Majesty and Master. Your Majesty, Master, the moon is full today." At night, His Majesty said that this is the day of reunion, but it is a pity that Senior Brother is not here, otherwise it would be consummated. Our senior brothers wish Your Majesty and Master Moon Moon people a reunion!"

"Okay, they are all good children, it is enough to have this kind of heart!" Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi looked at the three children in front of them happily, feeling very pleased in their hearts.

It is not suitable to say that children are not suitable, Meng Sigui has been promoted to be a father this year, and Yu'er gave birth to a very well-behaved daughter in April, and now the mother and daughter are chatting with the female relatives.

Ju Yan finally got a Jinshi in high school this year, and now works in the Supervisory Office, which is responsible for monitoring and impeaching officials.Ju Yan's character is unrestrained and bold, he has nothing to do with the old aristocratic family, and is Xiao Yu's confidant, Xiao Yu intends to train him to be a royal doctor, and will supervise all officials for him in the future.

The only fly in the ointment today is that the brothers Ji Shan and Ji Hai are not here. Ji Shan led the fleet to sea in February and has not returned yet, but counting the days, he should be back in a month or two at most.

Ji Hai originally followed Pei Linzhi back from Chang'an, and when he arrived in Yuzhou, he replaced Guan Shan and asked Guan Shan to return to Beijing.

After the battle with Xirong, Guan Shan was always stationed at the border because he was worried that Dongrong would take advantage of the fire and rob him. He was not around when Su Ying gave birth, and he owed a lot to his wife and children in his heart.

When Pei Linzhi withdrew and knew his situation, he wanted to stay in Yuzhou for him to garrison. Ji Hai took the initiative to ask Ying to guard the border on behalf of his master, because he knew too well the friendship between his master and His Majesty, and they had been separated for too long.

Therefore, the price of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion is the price of some people not being able to reunite. How can people not cherish it?

After the banquet was over, Xiao Yu still couldn't bear to go to sleep, and watched the moon with Pei Linzhi in the courtyard.Pei Linzhi was sitting on the recliner, and Xiao Yu was lying on top of him, and the two of them chatted together under the moonlight.

"Speaking of which, Ji Hai is 24 years old this year, and it's time to start a family." Xiao Yu has always been thinking about Ji Hai, and he felt very regretful that he couldn't come back this time.

"I should look for it, but he has always been calm and doesn't show his thoughts. I don't know what he plans." Pei Linzhi played with his fingers around Xiao Yu's hair.

"You are his master, you should care about it, and ask him next time when he comes back. Let Jishan pay more attention, after all, he is the eldest brother." Xiao Yu suddenly remembered another thing when he said this, "Xi Rong has already It has been laid down, and now Tuyuhun is on good terms with us, and the Hexi Corridor has been opened, how about re-opening the land Silk Road? I just don’t know what’s going on in the Western Regions.”

The Maritime Silk Road brought prosperity to the south, but now half of the north has been taken back. If we want to develop the inland economy of the north, it is best to open up the silk road on the road, so that the economy in the north can also prosper.

Pei Linzhi also agreed with this proposal: "The land route is safer than the sea route, and the cost is also lower. It should be cleared up. Send an army to explore the road later, and walk the road Zhang Qian walked again."

Xiao Yu was very excited: "This trade route has been interrupted for 200 years. If it can be opened, the development of the north will not have to worry about it."
