A second โ˜… of small โ–ณ said ยง net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!

The capital of Qi country, whether it is an outer city or an inner city, among the cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest, there is a park with a large area. In addition www.biquge.info there are many small street parks for pedestrians, people from nearby yamen, and people from shops to do a small relaxation after work.

Monuments of merit have been erected in conspicuous places in these parks.

People over the age of five have probably heard about it.

Queen Yunlan's name was engraved on it, and she briefly wrote down every amount of money she donated and where it was used. The merit monument is very large, to be precise, it should be the merit wall, similar to the shadow wall. The building is very beautiful and unique, like a beautiful landscape, and has become an indispensable scene in the park.

Engrave her name, it was unanimously decided by the civil and military officials, and it was also the meaning of Zhuge Tianming. Her objection was invalid, so she had to acquiesce for the time being. It was the people of the Ministry of Works who were in charge of this matter, and she was not allowed to come up with more reasons to oppose it, and to convince everyone that the park in the center of the palace had erected a beautiful and practical wall of merit and engraved her name.

Her name is not engraved on the top, but in a very conspicuous place, occupying a small part of the wall of merit. The font is simple and heavy, beautiful and generous, and at first glance it is from the most famous calligraphy master of Qi State, and it is also the master of Qi State Academy, Meng Hao.

The wall of merit, someone specially watched, if someone is interested and walks over, they will explain it enthusiastically and meticulously. And, it will be very tactful, persuading tourists to have money to contribute, make a strong contribution, contribute to the construction of Qi country, and make their own contributions.

Qi is located in the northwest, because of the environment, although it is not richer than the people of the Central Plains, there are not a few rich people. Especially after the founding of the Qi State, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were reduced a lot, the number of mountain bandits and road tyrants was sharply reduced, and the number of criminals was greatly reduced. Natural disasters* have been reduced to an unbelievable level, such a good environment for survival, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the accumulated money and food will naturally become abundant.

Especially those wealthy merchants, big landowners, and noble families, their family backgrounds are not ordinarily rich. The laws of Qi also stipulate that prostitutes and gambling are not allowed, and those Fengyue and gambling houses are forcibly banned and seized, and as long as a prostitute or gambler is caught, a large fine will be given, and people will be forcibly sent to labor camps to do hard labor.

In the labor reform farm, not only do they have to do hard labor, but they will also carry out strict ideological transformation, and brainwash those young masters and sons who have been effective again and again.

released a year later, the whole person is not reborn, at least like a person. The young master has become a sensible and pursuing good child, and has become a person who makes the elders feel that they have hope in their hearts and can be relied on in the future.

The parents, elders, and most of these families, after their children returned home with a new attitude, they were sincerely grateful and grateful to Yun Lan.

Banning prostitution and gambling, and sending people to labor camps is exactly what Queen Yunlan proposed.

At the beginning, because of this proposal, she was also verbally attacked by many officials and ordinary people. This matter once caused a stir and annoyed King Zhuge Tianming.

The king gave an order, dismissed several unknown officials one after another, and openly expressed strong support for the queen, which gradually calmed down. Not to mention those officials, even the parents and elders of those who were sent to labor camps used to be very resentful of the queen for a while. It wasn't until one time, after a visit, that I saw the change in my own children, and that resentment turned into gratitude, and turned into gratitude.

It is this kind of people who enthusiastically responded to the call for money and materials to vigorously support the construction of the country. The silver money donated by each family is more than 10,000 taels of silver, and some simply donate grain and quilts, cotton, rapeseed, oil, wood, etc., which are all very needed in daily life.

Or, simply send more than half of the family's small servants, buddies, and nurses to the border to join the army. If someone takes the lead, someone will follow, six or seven in one family, and sixty or seventy in ten. One hundred, the number of people combined, how can there be three or four hundred, this number is very objective. Sending them together to the border barracks, where they need to replenish the soldiers the most, can greatly alleviate the pressure of insufficient troops. Moreover, the people who were sent, every one of them was physically strong and had a little martial arts foundation, and after a little training, they could go directly to the battlefield.

The group had just arrived at the barracks, but only five days later, they were attacked by a surprise attack. It was these reserve troops who made great achievements, completely annihilating the enemy who was about to destroy the barracks and nearby villages, and saved more than 100 wounded and sick and more than 60 villagers.

When the battle report reached the capital, Zhuge Tianming stared at the old old-fashioned ones who still didn't respect Yun Lan with a smile in the morning, and the mocking words still came out: "The queen's example power, what else do you have to attack?" If you're still not convinced, you might as well show it out and listen! โ€

The voice was very stern, and the waves rolled in his eyes.

He was really tired of these people, if it weren't for their loyalty to the imperial court, if they were a lot older, and they were the head of the noble family, he would have ordered their officials to be dismissed, put them in prison, and stay for so many years.

"Wechen is wrong, Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen is blind." After a few plops, several people scrambled to kneel on the ground, admitting their mistakes in fear.

They could see that the king's patience with them was running out. If they are not interested in it, and they want to target the queen, the king will definitely throw them into prison, or even exile them! They don't have to suffer themselves, they can have elderly parents at home and grandchildren waiting to be fed, but they can be willful.

That's right, these guys used to be willful!

What to say "loyal to the ear", what to say for the country and the people, this is aimed at Yun Lan. In fact, he was just afraid of the reforms advocated by Yun Lan, afraid of the new policies promoted by Yun Lan, and afraid that because of these reforms and new policies, he would not be able to keep up with the trend of the times, become an outcast, and lose his position of power and glory.

The noble family of Yan State has a supreme position of power, and the children of the family can inherit the title from generation to generation without hard work, and they are supported by the imperial court with money and grain fields. You can also have a group of wives and concubines, a group of slaves, and a group of guards in the courtyard, and you can show off your might. Even if you kill civilians and rob people's fields and shops, you can be safe and sound.

However, it is not possible in the country of Qi, it is absolutely not allowed!

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yun Lan proposed many amendments to the government decree and law. Several of them are specifically aimed at the noble family, which greatly restricts and weakens the power and status of the noble family.

The old guys' targeting of Yun Lan is actually a kind of resistance, and it is also a temptation and resistance to the imperial court and Zhuge Tianming.

At the beginning of the establishment of the country, there were thousands of problems, the people's hearts were unstable, the country was weak and the people were poor, and it could not anger those noble families for the time being. Zhuge Tianming took into account the overall situation and endured it for several years, but in today's peace and security of the country, he can no longer bear it!

The woman he loves, he puts it on the tip of his heart, and he is reluctant to hurt half of her queen, how can he allow others to be disrespectful and attacked?!

"You guys are not young anymore, let's go home and give up the opportunity to the young! It's time for the official team of Qi to be younger! โ€

Zhuge Tianming waved his hand, very neatly, and sent those few eyesore guys home to retire. Now, the country of Qi is thriving, the people are supportive, and the people's hearts are stable, and he is no longer too lazy to perfunctory these things that are not long-sighted!

*******

There are five days left, which is the day when the second girl gets married.

Yun Lan, with the support of Zhuge Tianming, made a will to canonize Erniu

The old patriarch took the lead and wanted to add makeup to the second girl, and waved his hand vigorously to the second uncle: "Let's go, let's go and add makeup, and by the way, we will be happy!" โ€

His interest was high, his hands waved in the wind, and his face was full of joy and excitement.

A quarter of an hour later, the villagers heard the wind and followed, following the old patriarch, and added makeup to the second girl. Everyone was very generous in their shots, and the least was given a hundred taels of silver.

Erniu is one of the few masters in Shazao Academy, who does not have a famous master. Three years ago, she took the Xiucai qualification exam and passed it in one fell swoop. It's just that the lifting exam is a little difficult, and she is still working on it, and she hasn't participated in it yet.

However, her ideological consciousness is very high (Yun Lan brought it out single-handedly, and the school-running policy and various rules and regulations of Shazao Academy were formulated by her, can the consciousness of the second girl not be high?) That's a must! ), cheerful personality, straightforward, excellent moral character, excellent style. In particular, she has a good hand in abacus and is quite talented in arithmetic.

In the women's school of Shazao Academy, she specializes in serving as the master of the arithmetic class, which is enough to be competent! It can even be said that there is no more suitable than her!

The masters and students in the academy also added makeup to her, and her popularity was not ordinarily good.

When the in-laws learned about it, they were even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

This daughter-in-law made no wrong choice! The sister taught by the queen's mother is really a good one!

******

As a scout, Shi infiltrated a certain city in Yan Kingdom to listen to the news of Yan Kingdom. Walking on the street, he was very surprised to see an acquaintance.

In his memory, the uncle, who was already a little vague, actually appeared in his sight. It looks very depressed and embarrassed.

Chapter 55

Uncle Yunfu, in my impression, should not be more than fifty-five years old. However, the man in front of him clearly looked to be at least sixty-five years old. Most of the hair is white, and he is very emaciated. At first glance, it is malnourished, as if it has not eaten a full meal for a long time.

How to look, how to look like a beggar.

I remember the uncle, but he is a famous person, he is not bad-looking, tall and handsome. Isn't that beautiful husband's family very powerful? Uncle, why is this place here? It stands to reason that it should be in the capital, or a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River?

Here, it is only more than 300 miles away from the country of Qi.

Isn't it, this family wants to defect to the second sister?!

No, it's definitely not going to work! This family is rat, a-stirring stick, and a scourge! If the family is allowed to go to Qi Kingdom, it will definitely bring trouble to the second sister, which will affect the image of the second sister and bring countless troubles to Dongfeng Village.

That's it, just the uncle's family, eight or nine times out of ten, will be used by the enemy, coerced and lured, and become a fine work, bringing immeasurable losses and harm to the Qi country!

Uncle's down-and-out appearance shouldn't be pretending, right?

Fortunately, his mission has been completed, and he can follow Uncle to see what the hell he wants to do. Hopefully, at this time, the uncle's family has not been bought by the people of the Yan Imperial Court.

Shi whispered to the two subordinates: "You go to the capital of Yan Kingdom to investigate the affairs of my eldest uncle Yunfu's family, and if you can't find it in the capital, go to the capital of my hometown Maofu to investigate." โ€

After explaining the situation of Yun Meimei's mother-in-law's family and the uncle's family, his subordinates nodded and went straight to the capital of Yan Kingdom.

Intuitively, Shi thought that the uncle's family should have lived in the capital. Otherwise, there is no way to explain that Uncle will appear in this place. If the uncle's family had never left Maofu, even if life was unsatisfactory, it would not be impossible to stay.

If you appear here, eight or nine times out of ten, you will go to the country of Qi.

In this way, there are only two reasons: first, I heard that the second sister is the queen of Qi State, and she is cheeky and wants to get wet, hoping to soar; Second, as a detailed work of the Yan Imperial Court, he went to Qi to spy on intelligence.

Stones tend to be more inclined to the second reason.

The first reason is that he doesn't think it's practical, because the uncle is a person who is very afraid of death, and he cherishes his life more than anyone else. Defecting to the Qi State is treason, and if you are caught, you will be killed. Uncle has been very squeamish since he was a child, and in his memory, the uncle in his forties was stabbed by thorns, and he had to look like he was in tears.

Sure enough, his judgment was not wrong.

Quietly followed, came to a secluded three-entry house.

This house looks very dilapidated from the outside, and the courtyard also smells of shabby, but the bedroom is very well furnished. They wore linen clothes, all of which were less than fifty percent new, but the food and drink were of the finest quality. The hairpin on his head was made of wood, but there was a red gold bracelet hidden under the sleeves.

The stone was hidden in the dark, and his brow was furrowed.

The eldest aunt Ma laughed: "Xianggong, this time we went to the Qi country and made a great contribution, the emperor promised us that as long as we made a great contribution, we would be crowned the marquis." At that time, I will be Mrs. Hou, and our family will be prosperous! โ€

But Yunfu looked at his wife who got carried away, and there was a villain in his heart who was holding his head and shouting: Hey, hey, why am I so miserable and met such a stupid woman!

Back then, why was he blind and thought that this woman was one in a hundred? Alas, speaking of which, it's all tears! If it weren't for this idiot, he wouldn't have been noticed by the emperor and sent him such a chore!

"What's the good thing about this? Do you think that great work is so easy to stand? Do you think Yun Chuyi is a fool? Do you think that the king of Qi is a fool?! Yun Fu was so angry that he pointed at his wife, eager to slap her twice.

Ma Shi said unconvinced: "Even if you are not a fool, you are not a smart person, so we don't know each other?" Didn't you see that Tang Rui at the beginning? is just a stupid mountain man, and he has taken shit luck to have a chance to become a king! That Yun Chuyi is not a very smart person, otherwise, why would he still be played around by beauty, and finally forced to marry instead, and honestly suffered? โ€

mentioned this, Yun Fuqi didn't fight anywhere: "You still say? You ruined girl, if you hadn't taken the lead in stirring things up, now you are the queen of Qi country! You idiot, you're so angry with me! โ€

The more Yun Fu spoke, the more angry he became, and he raised his foot and kicked Ma's.

Ma Shi grinned in pain, but his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said excitedly: "Xianggong, why don't you let Meili go to Qi Country with you this time?" โ€

Yun Fu glared at her: "Idiot, beauty has an enmity with Chu Yi, Chu Yi must hate beauty to death!" Beauty went to Qi country, where can you ignore us on the first day of junior high school? โ€

Ma Shi smiled: "You don't need to ignore us at the beginning of the year, as long as Tang Rui is willing to ignore the beauty, it is better than anything else, the dead girl on the first day of the first year, I am not uncommon for her to ignore it!" โ€

Yun Fu frowned and wondered, "Then Tang Rui, can he pay attention to beauty?" Now, he is a king, and his status is different! โ€

Ma Shi was full of confidence: "You can rest assured, I think Tang Rui was very rare and beautiful at the beginning, and the reason why he reconciled with Chu Yi was also because he couldn't let go of the beauty, and he was thinking about the beauty, so the two of them reconciled!" โ€

Yunfu thought about it silently, and felt that this was indeed the case, so he nodded: "Well, this is also a way, let's go with beauty!" It's just, son-in-law and children, what to do? โ€

Ma pouted: "Naturally, I stayed, I can't get used to that nest of waste for a long time, but it's just the son of a prefect, and his eyes are on the top of his head." When I see me on weekdays, where there is a little bit of son-in-law's consciousness, it is like seeing distant relatives, not enthusiastic and disrespectful at all. Moreover, after so many years, his father not only did not get promoted, but was idle at home.

Although he himself is a lifter, he doesn't have any great ability, and it was better to have his father cover him before, and he could be a county magistrate or something in the yamen. His father stopped being an official, and he was immediately excluded from being able to stay, so he had to resign from the office. Now, to be able to come to this place as a county magistrate, or to borrow our light! If the emperor hadn't valued us and remembered that there was such a person as him, where would he still have the opportunity to be a parent official? โ€

couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Alas, I knew that if I had such a thing, I wouldn't have broken up Yun Chuyi and Bai Xihuan when I was killed." In this case, Meili will have to marry Tang Rui, and today we will be the king's father-in-law and mother-in-law! โ€

Since she knew that Tang Rui had now become the king of Qi, her intestines were all repentant! No, as early as when she knew that Tang Rui was the son of King Jin, her intestines were repentant!

How can the son of a prefect be compared with the son of a prince? It's even more incomparable with the king!

She is also extremely resentful of Yun Lan.

Yunfu couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Alas, that's right! What a chance, it's just like that! At the beginning, they were all beautiful and ignorant, but Bai Xihuan, who was nothing, fascinated her heart. There is no promising thing, Tang Rui liked her so much at the beginning, if she married Tang Rui, now the world of Qi is not in our pocket! โ€

The stone couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this: What a big face, do you want to be embarrassed?! The ambition is not small, the greed is insufficient, and the mind is dirty enough!

Ma Shi took it for granted: "It's not too late, the beauty is well maintained, and it looks very tender." With Tang Rui's past affection for her, as long as Meimei cried and begged him, he would definitely be reluctant to hurt her, at least he would give her an outerroom identity. In the future, when Meili gives birth to a son for him, she will definitely be taken into the palace and given her the status of a concubine! โ€

Yun Meili happened to come to talk to her parents, and when she heard her mother's words, her face was suddenly full of shyness, her heart fluctuated, and her eyes flew wildly.

"Mother, look at what you said!" She stomped her foot vigorously and deliberately coquettishly with her mother.

Stone only felt goosebumps fall to the ground.

Disgusting to death! An ugly woman with no skin and no face!

is almost thirty years old, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes can kill flies, although his appearance is not bad, but compared with the second sister, it is too far behind! The second sister is about the same age as Yun Meimei, but she looks like she is only twenty years old, her skin is white and supple, and she can't see any wrinkles.

Well, in fact, many people say that the second sister actually doesn't look more than eighteen years old! This is not a compliment, this is telling the truth, many eighteen-year-old girls don't have a second sister Shui Ling!

Yun Meili wants to compete with the second sister for a man, let's dream!

If Zhuge Tianming sees such a person, or he will take advantage of Yun Meimei, he is willing to kneel on the ground and shout, "I'm convinced!" "Ten thousand times!

******

When Shi was monitoring Yunfu's family, Yun Lan personally led people to carry out anti-abduction operations, ending a huge gang of human traffickers. The cause of the incident was that Peng Qingming, a director of the Ministry of Labor, actually bought a three-year-old boy from human traffickers as his son.

This boy is very smart and cute, and the trafficker asks for 10,000 taels of silver. In order to get together the 10,000 taels of silver as soon as possible, lest the child be sold to others by traffickers, he hurriedly sold his daughter Xiaotao. The matter was very big, Xiao Tao escaped by luck, knelt outside the household yamen, and begged Yunlan to call the shots for her.
