History of Yongwu

Chapter 127 Another Year

There are still bustling people in front of the street, full of joy, against the irony of the congee shed behind it, like a farce in this prosperous and prosperous world.

Qin Yu turned to the long line of people, looked sideways at the priest and asked, "What are the priests doing here?"

"The rich merchants in the city are giving away porridge together, and I'll donate some money and food." Nangong Yuliang looked over there and said flatly.

"Yes" nodded, Qin Yu turned around and suddenly said, "Priest, would you like to have a drink with me?"

"Okay" Nangong Yuliang agreed without hesitation, and said with the money and food, "My lord will be later"

Inside the restaurant, there were very few customers. The owner probably didn't expect anyone to come in when he opened the door. The waiter greeted him listlessly, and the wine on the table was not warm.

Qin Yu picked up the glass and took a sip. The cold wine made him shiver, and when it fell into his stomach, he felt a burning sensation.

"It's not appropriate to drink lightly." He put down his glass.

Nangong Yuliang was also aroused by the cold wine, put down his glass and said, "Indeed, I thought that the prince has a lot of things to do every day, but I didn't expect to be so leisurely."

"Leisure is clear and boring, just like Yuliang," Qin Yu said in a leisurely tone.

Just say that you have no peace of mind all the time!Nangong Yuliang sighed inwardly, added another glass of wine and said, "Jing Yuliang and the prince share the same illness and pity each other"

After raising his glass to drink, Qin Yu thought of the impoverished person just now, and asked, "Who is the person who gave the porridge?"

"There are families of merchants, and there are families of officials and eunuchs, each of which is jointly established." Nangong Yuliang smiled at the King of Jin after finishing speaking, and said, "It is a great honor for the prince to have such a kind person under his rule."

"Under the king's rule, there are still hungry people in the royal city, what great fortune?" Qin Yu sneered, feeling that Nangong Yuliang was probably mocking himself again.

Nangong Yuliang shook his head, raised his cup and said, "There are still hungry people in the prosperous age, so persistent is not like a prince."

"It's not like Yuliang to be so flattering." Qin Yu chuckled, feeling that he had fallen into the desolation of this new year again.

One cup for you, one cup for me, His Royal Highness King Jin and the priest drank until they were three points drunk, and left under the impatient persuasion of the boss. There were already fewer people on the street. , but there was a burst of joy in their hearts, the two of them stood there and laughed suddenly, they didn't know what they were laughing at.

"This lord will send you back," Qin Yu said looking at Nangong Yuliang whose footsteps were a little fluffy.

Although "Prince Bu Lao" was a little dizzy, he wasn't that drunk yet.

Hehe...Qin Yu smiled and supported his arm, "If Yuliang had an accident and froze to death on the street, wouldn't it be another ray of dead souls under my king's rule, how can I bear it?"

"Then...thank you, my lord." Nangong Yuliang's face was full of wine, and he didn't refuse anymore.

Qin Yu found that after the priest finished drinking, his words and demeanor were quite heroic, not as gentle and docile as usual, so he laughed out loud, and walked away with the priest's support.

Nangong House

Nangong Yuliang saluted, looked at King Jin with a blushing face and said, "Thank you for sending me off, my lord, it is reasonable to invite my lord into the mansion for a while, but you should probably go back to the palace, so I won't talk about such hypocrisy."

Qin Yu was amused again, raised his eyebrows and said, "This king finds that the three-point drunk priest is quite interesting, and this king appreciates this person even more."

King Jin turned and left. Nangong Yuliang held the door and smiled lightly. He felt that King Jin, who was half drunk, was also quite interesting, and he appreciated it very much.

Snow began to fall in the sky again, and scattered pieces fell on Qin Yu's shoulders. He supported Li Han's arm, feeling drunk, his eyes began to be a little hazy, and he looked up at the messy snowflakes.

"Prince" Li Han carefully supported him and said, "It's cold and snowy, so I will accompany you back to the palace."

"Go back to the palace..." Qin Yu muttered, his eyes lost for a moment, and he suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Li Han, I won't go back."

"Then...then where are you going?" Li Han saw that King Jin was slightly drunk and in a bad mood.

"Go" Qin Yu let go of Li Han, took a step forward, looked blankly at the vast white world, "Go to the Jingshan Palace" Jinwang Palace is too big, this king wants to go somewhere else.

"Yes"

On New Year's Eve, a small carriage left Daliang City, and Li Han drove King Jin to the palace through the wind and snow.

Jingshan Hunting Ground

Ever since the New Year arrived, Qin Yu just stayed here and didn't go anywhere. He had stopped going to court for a long time, and probably no one wanted to make him suffer during the first month, so he didn't have any advice.

"Li Han, what day is it?" Qin Yu casually asked Li Han who was following him while pulling his bow.

"Back to the lord, it's 25." Lingyu flew out and King Jin shot a rabbit, but he seemed dissatisfied, and the guards picked up the prey without even looking at it.

It's been so long!It's almost time to rest, put away the bow and arrow, and Qin Yu ordered while walking back, "Call Fan Wentian and his son, Dongyang County Governor An Ziqi, Kaiyang Order Shen Xuewen, and Wang Ru come to the palace, I want to see you"

"Yes" Li Han took the order and left in a hurry.

Alas...Looking at the mountains with nostalgia, Qin Yu had no choice but to leave, this leisure always disappears too quickly.

Jingshan Palace

"I see the lord." Fan Wentian and Fan Xingyan fell to their knees.

"Sit down." Qin Yu waved his hand, "Fan Xiang came galloping all the way, why don't you take a rest?"

"The prince's order, there must be a big event, the old minister dare not neglect"

"Xiangguo has devoted himself to everything" Qin Yu boasted, and then changed the subject and said directly, "Before this king visited Dongyang, although Dongyang has recovered, the people's livelihood is still withered, and it is not a place for long-term security."

"I don't know what the lord has ordered." Fan Wentian asked, it is impossible for the King of Jin to mention Dongyang for no reason.

"This king wants to farm in Dongyang"

"There have always been strategies for farming, but with little success." Fan Wentian looked at King Jin, "Dongyang County is even more of a disaster county, and I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket."

"This king wants to re-divide Dongyang County, and merge the west of Kaiyang into Yan County, and then the whole county of Dongyang will be farmed, and the people of Dongyang will be moved to other counties to avoid the suffering of floods," Qin Yu said directly.

"What does Fan Xiang think?"

This...Fan Wentian bowed his head in thought, this is not a trivial matter, it is the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, and it is even more important for the Jin military.

"My lord, although Dongyang is a disaster county, but there are hundreds of thousands of people, I'm afraid they won't be able to settle down if they move to another county," Fan Wentian replied.

"There are many royal lands in Yan County, all of which are assigned to the common people by this king, and there are three counties in Fengjiang in the east and west of Qi, which are vast and sparsely populated. In addition, the west of Kaiyang is not affected by floods and can be lived in. It should be able to accommodate People from the next county"

That's what he said, but Fan Wentian has been dealing with state affairs for a long time, and he understands that the matter can only be answered after careful calculation, but King Jin's words are all there, so it can be seen that he has made up his mind, and he can only do it with all his heart.

"In this way, I will carefully check the field records of the three counties, and the total number will be inherited by the prince." Fan Wentian cupped his hands.

Qin Yu nodded, and said, "Fan Xiang is cautious, and this king naturally knows it. It's just that Xiangguo is in charge of the government, and moving people is cumbersome. I can't let Fan Xiang go around. This king wants to speak up and wants him to do this."

Fan Xingyan sat at the bottom, kept his head down and didn't make a sound. He was shocked when he was suddenly heard by King Jin mentioning him, but he didn't say much.

"What do you think of Xingyan?" Qin Yu asked.

"I'm young, I'm afraid my lack of experience will miss the prince's business." Fan Xingyan got up quickly.

"You are the same age as this king, how can you talk about being young?" Qin Yu looked at him and smiled kindly, "How old is An Ziqi, governor of Dongyang County, who is still the head of a county, why are you afraid of it?"

"Weichen" Fan Xingyan looked at his father next to him. Fan Wentian's respectful face remained unchanged. He hesitated and knelt down and said, "I am thankful for your kindness."

"That's how I have the demeanor of my generation." Qin Yu boasted, looked at Fan Wentian and said, "You guys stay in the palace first, and I'm afraid I'll call you again."

"Yes, I'm waiting for you to leave"

Looking at the two people who quit, Qin Yu thought to himself, this Fan Xingyan photo is much worse than his father, I hope Fan Wentian can wake him up by understanding the current affairs!

guest house

Fan Wentian sent off the eunuch who led the way, and returned to sit in the house, where Fan Xingyan was waiting inside, "Father, today is the order of King Jin, is it right for your son to lead the way?"

"Yes." Fan Wentian nodded.

"That's good." Fan Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Xingyan has always remembered his father's warnings, and has been cautious and loyal to his duty. He has been by King Jin's side for a while. He also admits that this King Jin, who is the same age as him, has a calmness and rigor different from this age, which makes him sincerely afraid.

Fan Wentian's excellence made Fan Xingyan understand his mediocrity, so although Fan Xingyan was a bit impatient, he didn't set his eyes on the top. He knew that he was mediocre, so he never dared to forget his father's warning.

"Do you know why King Jin chose you?"

"Because the son is a member of the Fan family, he is the father's son." King Jin wanted to use his father's prestige, Fan Xingyan replied.

"Then do you know why you chose Fan?"

Fan Xingyan was silent, looked at his father and asked, "Please teach me, father?"

"The matter of emigration depends on the aristocratic families in the counties. Such an important matter will definitely affect the interests of the rich families in the counties. The King of Jin wants you to make this matter happen during the communication," Fan Wentian explained.

All the counties will never stop the invasion of land. Although there were many restraints before, the relocation of people in Dongyang will inevitably cause another disturbance.What Fan Xingyan wanted to do was not to force the interests of the aristocratic family too much, but also to fulfill King Jin's order. This was the reason why King Jin chose the Fan family.

What the King of Jin needed to rely on was Fan's loyalty, Fan's easing attitude towards the New Deal, and Fan's friendship with various clans.

"Then..." Fan Xingyan also figured out the joint, but asked hesitantly, "Then if there is a conflict, the son will be dominated by King Jin?"

"The king of Jin doesn't want conflicts. What the king of Jin wants is for this matter to be completed peacefully, so you have to try to appease all parties. If there are really stubborn people, go up to the king of Jin and act according to the king's orders," Fan Wentian said .

"Yes, father." Fan Xingyan nodded in response.

Two days later, at the palace hunting ground, Wang Ru still looked as thick as a mountain, with a black and red face facing King Jin with a little seriousness.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has retired for many years, and has long since ignored the government. The matter of farming in Dongyang is so important. I am afraid that the old minister has more energy than he wants."

"Just now on the hunt, the old general is not inferior to the king, so why is he lacking in strength?" Qin Yu laughed, and said sincerely, "In the eventful autumn of Jin, the affairs of Dongyang need a person with prestige who is capable of writing, martial arts, and prestige. The old general, the king, really can't think of other candidates."

Wang Ru still wanted to speak, but Qin Yu pressed his arm and said, "General, this king has already sent Fan Xing to relocate the people with words and deeds. The old general has nothing to worry about, so don't worry."

King Jin said so much, and Wang Ru could no longer retreat, otherwise King Jin would let Fan Wentian assist in farming, and Fan's involvement in the army would not be a good thing for Wang.Besides, the Fan family has already taken over the matter of relocation. Apart from the biggest difficulty in this matter, I really don't have much worry about it.

"The old minister takes orders." Wang Ru knelt down.

Qin Yu helped him up with a smile, "Decree that the old general can go to Dongyang when the king returns to Daliang and announces to the government and the public."

"Yes" Wang Ru thought for a while and then said to the King of Jin, "My lord, I have something to say, please enlighten me."

"General please speak"

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in Dongyang, and there must be those who are unwilling to move there. They are afraid of complaints. It is not appropriate to garrison troops in Dongyang, whether it is to transfer the northern army or the Jin army. To neutralize Zhao Wang's fear, it is better to conscript troops on the spot."

King Jin's eyes lit up, and Wang Ru continued to say, "Those who enroll in the army are exempted from paying taxes at home. They can stay in Dongyang and move to the west of Kaiyang, and the rest will be resettled in other counties. The counties, counties and townships will care for their people, and the people's grievances will be small. If you move like this The number of people has been greatly reduced, and Dongyang's soldiers will guard the land of Dongyang, and the east of Jin State will be safe and sound."

Since Wang Ru agreed to this matter, he knew that he must do his best. Dongyang will definitely be an important town in the Jin Kingdom in the future.

"The old general is worthy of being versatile in both civil and military affairs. This king admires him, so I will entrust this matter to the old general." Qin Yu sighed.

Although blue is better than blue because of blue, the cautiousness and thoughtfulness of veteran officials like Wang Ru and Fan Wentian are something that An Ziqi and the others don't have.

The matter of farming has been completed in sevens and eighties, Qin Yu is in a good mood, casually browsing the scenery of the palace, the mountain path behind the palace, he suddenly saw a person.

Le Zhan stood halfway up the mountain, looking at the misty depths of Jingshan Mountain. Zhuo Qingfeng told him that the place where he lived was very cold all the year round. Was it just like the scenery in front of him? He raised his hand as if wanting to touch it. Touch the picturesque scenery.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yu stood behind him, seeing that he wasn't even wearing a cape.

"See you, my lord." Le Zhan turned around and saluted, the color on his face suddenly disappeared.

Qin Yu stepped forward to look at him, then turned back and asked him, "What were you doing just now?"

"Go back to the prince, enjoying the scenery"

Enjoy the view?Qin Yu smiled, raised his chin, and asked closer, "Do you like the view of the palace?"

Le Zhan twitched his eyelashes, stepped back slightly, and was pinched and pulled back by King Jin. He could only lower his eyelids and say "yes"

"Why does this king think you want to go out?" Qin Yu thought about his strange behavior.

"Le Zhan dare not"

Le Zhan was about to kneel down, but was pulled back by King Jin. King Jin put his palm on his shoulder, looked at the mountains and asked with a smile, "But you still didn't say, do you want to or not?"

"I don't want to..." Le Zhan pinched himself hard with his hands in his sleeves to stabilize his mind.

"You're lying," Qin Yu said firmly, and grabbed his arm, "But going out of the palace is a capital offense, so don't even think about it."

After experiencing several traitors, Qin Yu finally understood why the harem was not allowed to contact the former dynasty, so he remembered this lesson.

Le Zhan followed behind him, with his head down, Qin Yu turned slightly and glanced at him, his brows gathered together, "I find that you seem to be very alienated from me recently."

"Le Zhan dare not"

"Hehe, you are always afraid, but you don't answer my real question." Qin Yu glanced at him and said, Le Zhan's face turned pale again, and he was about to catch up with the snow-capped mountains, he raised his head Raise your eyebrows and say nothing.

Le Zhan was always trembling and slightly afraid of him, like Du Xuetang who just entered the house, Qin Yu wanted him to relax at first, but Le Zhan remained like this for a long time, so he was not interested in solving any knots in his heart up.

Fear is not a bad thing, at least fear can prevent people from having other thoughts and delusions.

In fact, His Royal Highness Jin Wang himself did not realize that he was not willing to see these people in the back garden anymore, let alone caring about them. It was more like a habit for him to go to Le Zhan and Mu Wang. This matter, but in fact, he has not seen these people much.

Qin Yu completely turned himself into a diligent and conscientious king in Lexing Palace, he was busy, his heart was like a duckweed, but he didn't realize it. Only when he was drunk, he could think of a bit of sadness.
