Li Yuanji's abolition of martial arts was only the beginning, and on the second day, Li Yuanji, who was unable to move at all, was beaten with 100 military sticks by Yan Yuan in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and Li Yuanba was also beaten with 80 military sticks. Li Yuanji led the men and horses to run rampant in the fields, and Li Yuanba followed but did not hinder each other, as if he was a criminal.

The military order is strict, that is the biggest reason why Yan Yuan has been able to quickly pacify the forces of all parties for so many years, Yan Yuan has never disturbed the people, and even pays attention to the people's livelihood affairs, wherever the army goes, Yan Yuan will let the sergeants help the people to open up the wasteland and lead the canal, so that among the people, Yan Yuan is very popular with the people. When the people of Tang County were grieving because of Li Yuanji's actions, they heard that Yan Yuan came to Tang County, and led the people of Tang County to kneel in front of the barracks with the county order of Tang County, begging Yan Yuan to save the tens of thousands of people in Tang Hang!

Even if Li Yuanji and Li Yuanba had just been beaten with military sticks, Yan Yuan still took them out, Li Yuanji's whole body was gloomy, even when he looked at Yan Yuan, his eyes were full of hatred, and he didn't say anything to Yan Yuan at this time, just like a puppet fiddled with by Yan Yuan.

"Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and Li Yuanba, the fourth prince, destroyed the grain and grass in Tang County, and the king has punished them. You two kneel down and make amends to them. Yan Yuan spoke, Li Yuanba knelt down obediently, Li Yuanji's whole body was weak, and as soon as the person who was holding him loosened, he also knelt down.

"The two of them violated military discipline and ruined the livelihood of the people, and not only punished a hundred military sticks, but the king wanted to solve the rations of the people of Tang County for the next year, so I hope that you can forgive the king and punish them lightly. Yan Yuan blessed these tens of thousands of people, these people were frightened, and Tang County ordered: "Does the prince have a way to solve the current predicament of Tang County?"

"Yes, please get up first. "Yan Yuan has never spoken wildly, let them get up," please call the county magistrate, the township chief, and the village chief from Tang County. Enter with the king. ”

Yan Yuan asked them to follow, and the county magistrate of Tang County hurriedly called out the chiefs of the townships and villages, and followed Yan Yuan into the big tent, "It's June now, and there is still half a year to go, this is the new rice that I have researched in my house, the growth cycle is 90 to 120 days, I have calculated that the time when Tang County enters winter is about October, and now the sowing can be harvested just in time for winter." As for the sowing method of this kind of rice, I will ask the commissioner to go to the townships and villages to explain it. This is the seed. ”

Yan Yuan never procrastinates in doing things, as soon as he opens his mouth, he makes his intentions clear, and the things are ready to be distributed to everyone, Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing know that Yan Yuan is prepared, and Yan Yuan has mentioned the matter of new rice to them, but the county order of Tang County and these mayors and township chiefs were surprised, 90 to 120 days, that is really a lifesaver.

"Don't talk about other nonsense, you are a county magistrate, you need to do this matter, but if this king hears that the people of Tang County are starving in the future, this king will be the first to ask you for the blame. ”

"King Changqing rest assured, the minister will complete this matter. "The people of Tang County are saved, of course the county magistrate of Tang County will not suspect that Yan Yuan will deceive people, everyone in the world knows that Yan Yuan will do what he says, love the people like a son, such a major event in people's livelihood, there will definitely be no half of falsehood.

"You go with the county order of Tang County, how to plant this rice, what are the taboos, how to control the amount of water, you know everything, and you have to say everything. Yan Yuan said to the uneven dozen or so people on the side, these people should all go down.

Liu Wenjing knew that these were all people from Changqing's mansion, but Liu Wenjing also found out through this that the people in Yan Yuan's hands only knew people from Wagangzhai, and the others knew nothing.

Turning over the soil, the people of Tang County quickly woke up from the dead air, each family was busy turning over the soil and water breeding, although tired, there was always hope, as long as they got it right, next year's grain will be settled.

And Liu Heimin, who had been pursued by Li Yuanji for a long time, was also captured by Yan Yuan, Liu Heimin was sent back to Chang'an, and Liu Heimin's subordinates were all sent to ask Li Jiancheng to look at Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan only asked, "Where is Wei Zheng?"

A tied young man walked out, "I'm Wei Zheng." ”

"This king will raise your prince to wash the horse, are you willing?" Yan Yuan asked softly, Wei Zheng was stunned, and Li Jiancheng on the side also showed surprise, Yan Yuan had never recommended anyone to him, Wei Zheng was still the first.

Wei Zheng looked at Yan Yuan and asked, "King Changqing won't kill me?"

"Naturally, I don't kill. Mr. Wei is a talented person, I hope you will enter the prince's mansion to assist the prince with all your might. Yan Yuan said with a smile, Wei Zheng has also heard of Yan Yuan's name, King Changqing can fight well, love the people like a son, and have prestige in both the people and the army.

"I wonder if Wei Zheng is lucky enough to enter the Changqing Mansion?" Wei Zheng's opening made Yan Yuan stunned, and he said half-loudly: "This king thinks that Mr. Wei is more willing to enter the Prince's Mansion." ”

"King Changqing is not selfish, you recommended Wei Zheng to enter the prince's mansion, and you are planning for the prince, for the sake of the prince. However, King Changqing values Wei Zheng, but the prince may not know Wei Zheng's ability, Wei Zheng has changed masters several times, and the words he admonished are not accepted by the lord, which is really a regret of Wei Zheng's life. Now that King Changqing is important, I am willing to follow King Changqing to peace in the world. Wei Zheng knelt down at this point, Yan Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng said: "Mr. Wei is no different from the Prince's Mansion in your mansion, so you can accept it." ”

Yan Yuan has the intention to plan for Li Jiancheng, and he can't keep up with the changes, "Help Mr. Wei get up and loosen Mr. Wei." ”

With Yan Yuan's order, Wei Zheng was let go. Only Wei Zheng was the only one who could make Yan Yuanji, and the other Liu Heimin's subordinates were at Li Jiancheng's disposal.

With God's help, the rice seeds were sown, it began to rain in Tang County, and the fields were filled with water for a few days, and Tang County was full of laughter. As the rain stopped, the people of Tang County began to plant seedlings, and after a few days, the originally desolate fields were all green, and they were full of vitality at first glance, which made people feel good.

Although God helps, Yan Yuan still pays attention to the things in the field, which is related to the food of the people of Tang County for a year, so Yan Yuan went to the field when sowing and planting seedlings, for which Sun Simiao also scolded Yan Yuan a few times, nothing more than her injury is not healed, she should recuperate well and should not run around.

The old man is the heart of the doctor's parents, but Yan Yuan is for the people of a county, Sun Simiao scolded and scolded, or took the time to help Yan Yuan regulate his body, and the medicine was sent to Yan Yuan bowl by bowl, and Yan Yuan's mouth was bitter but helpless.

And Chang'an Dou has already sent a few letters, all urging Yan Yuan to hurry back to Beijing, this wedding date is approaching, she, the bride, doesn't know how to come back, and the Dou family is about to die.

So much so that Li Jiancheng often chattered in Yan Yuan's ears, only looking forward to Yan Yuan returning to Beijing as soon as possible.

Isn't it possible for someone to entrust the affairs of the fields? She just found an excuse and refused to return to Chang'an, and she was really anxious to die Li Jiancheng.

"When are you going back to the capital?" Li Jiancheng urged three times a day, Yan Yuan was numb from the urging, and said with a shallow smile: "Big brother, Mr. Wei, let's go out for a walk." ”

Wei Zheng was still standing next to him, Li Jiancheng was so angry that Li Yuan and the Dou family in the capital were so angry that his mouth was foaming, but Yan Yuan was still calm, Li Jiancheng really wanted to kneel down for this ancestor.

"Take a look around, if it's nothing, we'll go back to Chang'an tomorrow." Yan Yuan finally relieved himself compassionately, and Li Jiancheng said eagerly: "Talking counts?"

Yan Yuan glanced at him, "When did I stop talking?"

Walking out slowly, Wei Zheng asked Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng followed, and Wei Zheng followed.

Walking all the way to the fields not far away, I heard a burst of singing in the distance, and if I listened carefully, I could probably understand the content, which was nothing more than to see the wind and rain in the sky, so that they could have a good harvest.

Later, the lyrics heard Yan Yuan's title Changqing, and the content praised Yan Yuan for valuing them as ordinary people, and even expressed his support and admiration for Yan Yuan.

"Look at how real these people are, the rice seeds are not researched by me, and I don't help them do anything, but they just move their mouths, but they are grateful to me. Yan Yuan squatted in the field and looked at the growth of rice, and said with emotion.

Li Jiancheng was stunned, but Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Although ordinary people don't know much and don't understand many big truths, they know who is sincere to them. ”

"Yes! The people want something very simple, food to wrap around the stomach and clothes to wrap around the body. Yan Yuan looked at the men, women and children who were busy in the fields, and his eyes were very soft. Turning to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng said: "Isn't the predicament of Tang County solved?"

Yan Yuan rolled his eyes unceremoniously, "Big brother just thought of this?"

Li Jiancheng stopped talking, Yan Yuan shook his head, "The king is light, the people are important, the king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat." If the matter in Tang County is not resolved in time, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"The population of Tang County is 40,861 people, and if there is no food for a year, they will not be able to support themselves, and they will rebel, either we will kill all these 40,861 people, or they will kill our soldiers. ”

"Even if there is no rice seed you give, the rations of the people in every county and county, the court pulls it out, how can they rebel. Li Jiancheng was very unimpressed.

"Is there still grain and grass in the imperial court?" Yan Yuan asked Li Jiancheng in a sentence, Li Jiancheng suddenly froze, whether there was grain and grass he knew, he just didn't expect Yan Yuan to know.

"If it's just the people of just one county, Datang is big and vast, how can you pull out a year's rations for the people of a county. Have you ever thought that natural disasters are unpredictable, man-made disasters can be avoided, and the affairs of Tang County are man-made disasters, which can not have happened, it is our Li family that caused all this, this country is the Li family, and the Li family's country is shaped by these people. To this day, the eldest brother still thinks that Yuan Ji is right?" Yan Yuan wanted to say not about Tang County, but about Li Jiancheng's attitude towards the people.

Li Jiancheng could not understand the meaning of Yan Yuan's words, "Yuanji is at fault, you have already punished him, this matter should end here." ”

"On the contrary, this is just the beginning. As for Yuanji's punishment, I want everyone in the world to know that this is an order from the eldest brother. Yan Yuan's words made Li Jiancheng shocked, "Why did I give the order?"

Wei Zheng had already sighed in his heart, Li Jiancheng didn't understand that Yan Yuan was trying to win the hearts of the people, and his first reaction was to disagree with Yan Yuan's proposal.

"Prince, King Changqing declared this matter to the public that it was an order issued by the prince, one is for the prince to win the hearts of the people, and the other is for the prince to establish authority. The heavy punishment of King Qi is the king of Changqing, and the wicked person was done by the king of Changqing, the emperor and queen know this, and the king of Qi also knows. What the people of the world have heard is that the prince punished the king of Qi heavily for the people of a county, and he will praise the prince for loving the people like a son, and the hundreds of officials in the court saw that the prince was strong, and abolished his brother for the people, but he knew that the prince was strong, and the prince's actions in the future also made them jealous, so it was conducive to the prince's actions. Wei Zheng still helped Yan Yuan say good things on the side, Li Jiancheng was a little embarrassed when he heard it, just now he thought that Yan Yuan was going to pit everything on his head.

Wei Zheng could understand something, but Li Jiancheng thought that she was going to harm him, and it would be a lie to say that Yan Yuan was not cold-hearted.

"I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I ask my sister to forgive me. Li Jiancheng hurriedly apologized to Yan Yuan, and Yan Yuan said: "Since the eldest brother has no objection, then the matter should be decided." ”

Yan Yuan didn't want to continue the topic with Li Jiancheng anymore, but decided on the matter. "After returning to Chang'an, I will take Yuanji to see my father and mother, and take Yuanji's title, and the eldest brother will have to propose it in person in the court. ”

"Yuan Ji has already been abolished from his martial arts, and he has been beaten with a hundred military sticks, and he still wants to take away his title?" Li Jiancheng disagreed.

"Abolishing his martial arts is because he lured Yuanba and almost died, beating him with a hundred military sticks because he ruined a year's grain in Tang County, and if he couldn't catch Liu Heimin, he took away Yuanji's title, this is what Yuanji said when he sent troops at the beginning, and now it's just executed as usual, is there anything wrong? These three have nothing to do with each other, and they will be punished in their own ways, when can they be mixed up?" Yan Yuan asked Li Jiancheng, and his words were so convincing that Li Jiancheng couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

"You can't escape a single word in everything, is it possible that in the eldest brother's heart, I punished Yuanji and punished it wrong?" Li Jiancheng didn't understand Yan Yuan's thoughts, and Yan Yuanke could see Li Jiancheng's dissatisfaction clearly.

"It's not that you punished Yuanji wrongly, it's just that the means are too drastic, and you don't have other methods. Li Jiancheng spoke deeply, Yan Yuan smiled coldly, "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since the eldest brother thinks that my means are too radical, then I will do the matter of winning the title of Yuanji myself, and I won't trouble the eldest brother." ”

She kindly took the bridge to Li Jiancheng on the road, Li Jiancheng began to have a deep brotherhood, and her kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and she still had to worry less about Li Jiancheng in the future, if the mud can't support the wall, she has to be scolded.

"Can't you let Yuan Ji keep the title? His martial arts have been abolished by you, how can he still be awarded the title for meritorious service in the future?"

It really made Yan Yuan angry enough, but the more angry Yan Yuan was, the more inconspicuous he was, "Big brother has big brother's thoughts, I also have my own ideas, I don't force big brother, big brother don't embarrass me, you say yes." ”

Li Jiancheng was blocked and couldn't refute it, and Yan Yuan didn't have the heart to go any further, "Okay, let's go back for a walk, I'll go back to Chang'an tomorrow, and I'll go back and clean up." ”

I don't want to stay with Li Jiancheng anymore, what she has said to Li Jiancheng for so many years is nonsense, and what she said today is the same.
