Li Jingjing asked, "Where is it?" ”

He Jingyan looked at Li Jingjing with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly: "Jincheng ......"

Li Jingjing said happily: "But outside the city is the golden city of the Yellow River? Seeing He Jingyan nodded solemnly, he said with a smile: "Jincheng is the largest city in Longdi, and it is the only place for me to pass through the Silk Road to foreign countries, and it is also a place that has been contested over the years. ”

Jincheng is Lanzhou, the provincial capital of Gansu in Li Jingjing's previous life.

He Jingyan clenched Li Jingjing's small hand and said, "This morning, before His Majesty gave us Jincheng, he issued a holy decree to merge Wuwei, Jinchang, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Yumen, and Dunhuang in Longdi into the jurisdiction of Jincheng. ”

The poorest cities in the entire Longdi are Wuwei, Jinchang, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Yumen, and Dunhuang.

The six cities were in drought almost every year, and needed relief from the imperial court, and the taxes were too small to pay the local officials.

Excluding the northern land, these six cities are the poorest in Longdi. Officials from families will not serve there, and officials who pass the imperial examination will not be sent there. The competence of the officials in that place can be imagined.

Li Jingjing stopped, stared wide-eyed, and exclaimed, "What? ”

He Jingyan hurriedly said: "You don't want to go to the fiefdom with me, you are in Chang'an." I'll go. ”

"Isn't this bullying honest people?" Li Jingjing shook off He Jingyan's hand, turned around and walked back, and said angrily, "I'll go find Your Majesty." ”

He Jingyan saw that Li Jingjing's angry eyes could kill a cow, so she hurriedly stopped her, frowned, and said, "Grandpa agrees to this matter." ”

"He agreed, I didn't!" Li Jingjing raised her little face and asked, "Do you agree?" ”

He Jingyan said: "I don't agree. However, His Majesty said that the holy decree has been issued, how can it be changed again. ”

Li Jingjing said in a loud voice: "Why can't the holy decree be changed?" We don't want fiefdoms, whoever loves to go to Jincheng will go! ”

He Jingyan's hand was placed on Li Jingjing's shoulder, and he said, "Lady, your husband thinks the same as you, and you are going to go to Jincheng for your husband a few days later, and you will stay in Chang'an." ”

"Where are you going?" Li Jingjing's brain exploded, and she saw that the servants in the mansion not far away were frightened by her scream, and deliberately shouted: "Without my consent, you are not allowed to go to the fiefdom!" ”

He Jingyan had seen Li Jingjing get angry, and she couldn't go against her will, so she nodded.

Li Jingjing glanced at Li Huan and Li Xi, and the second daughter nodded and went to the main courtyard hall.

He Jingyan said in a very low voice: "When I see the emperor's uncle, don't open your mouth, I just say it." ”

Li Jingjing's heart warmed and said, "You're not afraid that he will reprimand you?" ”

He Jingyan said: "This is our mansion, not the palace. He whispered to Li Jingjing what he thought.

After Li Jingjing heard this, her eyes lit up.

Li Bingzheng was talking to He Dong with a smile, and when he saw the two slaves who were about to cry hurrying in, he asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

Li Huan knelt down and said, "Old man, it's not good, the young lady and the aunt are arguing in the courtyard corridor." ”

Li Xi never knew how to speak, but he could cry, so he cried out loud.

Li Bing smiled and asked, "Why are you arguing?" ”

Li Huan said: "The matter of the fief." ”

He Qing and Kong Ye were shocked, and at the same time got up and exclaimed, "What's wrong with the fiefdom? ”

He Dong said slowly: "Fifth brother, fifth brother and sister, I gave Jing Yan a fief, which is the golden city of Longdi. Before the words fell, He Jingyan and Li Jingjing entered the hall.

He Jingyan grabbed ahead of the angry Li Jingjing and said, "Your Majesty, that's not Jincheng, that's half of Longdi!" The minister was born as a military general, and he could only kill the Huns, and would not govern the local city. Please retract your decree. ”

He Dong said with a smile: "Jing Yan, you are Mr.'s protégé, both civil and military, and you can govern the city." ”

Li Jingjing glared at Li Bing fiercely, and then didn't look at him again.

Li Bing knew that he was angry with his granddaughter this time, and sneered: "Jing Niang, you told me before that Jincheng is a good place. ”

Li Jingjing said this, but that was when Jincheng did not include Wuwei, Jinchang, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Yumen, and Dunhuang. She didn't even raise her eyelids, too lazy to talk to Li Bing.

He Qing and Kong Ye didn't understand what was going on, and stood in front of He Jingyan and Li Jingjing.

"Jing Yan, why did you make your daughter angry about the fiefdom?"

"Son, my daughter has just married into our family, and you make her angry."

He Jingyan said about the fief, and then knelt down towards He Dong and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the princess got married yesterday, and I don't know about the fief given by the court meeting this morning, I sincerely ask Your Majesty to discuss this matter again tomorrow." ”

He Qing and Kong Yeping both read the official newspaper and knew that the six cities were so poor that birds didn't, the land there was very poor, the grain output was less than 30% of Ludi, and the people were so poor that they only had their lives left.

Except for Li Jingjing's dowry, the combined silver of King Qing's Mansion and King Yan's Mansion is estimated to be not enough to feed the people of the six cities for two years, let alone ten years.

He Qing's face was pale, he glanced at Kong Ye, made a decision, waved his hand, and said: "Our family doesn't want the palace, don't want the palace, don't want the official position, let's move back to our hometown." ”

Kong Ye was so angry that he said coldly: "Son, your father and I are not the prince or princess, and your brothers and sisters are no longer members of the royal family." You and your daughter are already married, you can go back to your hometown with us or stay in Chang'an. ”

Murong Ying hurriedly stepped forward to help He Jingyan with both hands, frowned and said to He Dong: "Brother Dong, look at you who are angry with the fifth brother and fifth brother and sister like this, don't come and persuade them quickly." ”

He Dong knew that He Qing and Kong Ye's temperament really did something about leaving Chang'an and returning to their hometown, so he got up and said, "Sir, help me explain it to them quickly, otherwise I won't be able to enter the mansion of my fifth brother and Jing Yan's house in the future." ”

Li Bing stood up and walked to He Dong's side, looked at He Qing's family, his eyes fell on He Jingyan and Li Jingjing, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty only said in the court that you husband and wife should be responsible for the people of Jincheng, and did not say the rights and interests you can get. ”

He Jingyan asked, "What are the rights and interests?" ”

Li Jingjing sneered and sneered: "How can good rights and interests think of us? ”

Li Bing's eyes were strange, and he said in a low voice: "Jincheng, Yumen, and Dunhuang are the necessary places on the Silk Road. I don't need to elaborate on this money, but you should know how much it is. ”

He Yiyang just walked into the hall, and when he heard Li Bing's words, his face was overjoyed, and he leaned into He Jingyan's ear and whispered: "Last year, the commercial tax of the three cities of the Silk Road was 220,000 taels of silver. ”

He Jingyan looked at Li Jingjing, and saw that her face was less angry, so she said, "What else?" ”

Li Bing continued: "Since this year, the imperial court has specially increased the number of candidates for your fiefdom by six jinshi. ”

Li Jingjing opened her mouth and said, "Twenty-four! ”

Li Bing saw that his granddaughter was willing to talk to him, although it was a lion who opened his mouth, but this was her character, and said with a smile: "The imperial court has a three-year scientific examination, and there are a total of 150 jinshi......"

Li Jingjing said again: "Twenty-four!" ”

Li Bing asked with a sad face: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this?" ”

He Dong asked rhetorically: "How many names does Mr. say is appropriate?" ”

Li Bing saw He Dong pushing the hot yam to him, sighed, and glanced at He Rong, who was "about to move", and said with a very tangled expression: "Twelve." Couldn't be more. ”

Li Jingjing raised her eyebrows and said, "Fourteen!" ”

He Jingyan said loudly: "Jincheng plus six cities is a total of seven. Two for each seat, exactly fourteen. ”

He Rong came over and said with a smile: "Big brother, you also add two jinshi places to my fiefdom." ”

He Qing waved his hand and said, "The fifth brother and cousin are about to disown me as the eldest brother." Third brother, don't come here to make trouble. ”

He Rong refused to let go of such a good opportunity, stretched out his hand to pull He Qing's sleeve, and said, "Big brother, I don't want much, that is, two." ”

He Jingyan asked, "Grandpa, what else?" ”

Li Bing spread his hands and said, "This is already a great favor, are you still not satisfied?" ”

Li Jingjing shook her head at He Qing and Kong Ye, and the two of them immediately said, "Son, let's leave Chang'an and go back to our hometown." Do you and your girlfriend follow you to your hometown or? "Let's go, let's go back to our hometown as a family."

He Yiyang said hurriedly: "Father, the imperial court allocated a total of eighty taels of silver and grain to the six cities, and the commercial tax you gave to Brother Yan is only 220,000 taels of silver, and there is still a gap of 580,000 taels of silver. ”

He Rong frowned when he heard this, not to mention He Qing and his wife.

Kong Ye shouted, "What? ”

He Qing directly pulled He Jingyan's arm and walked out, and said angrily: "Our family can't do the immoral thing of using the daughter-in-law's dowry and silver money to save face. The prince, the palace, and the Yulu, we don't want it anymore. ”

"We Jingyan married our daughters into the door, but it is not the dowry of our daughters. We don't want to be scolded by someone pointing at our backbone! Kong Ye glanced at He Qing in disappointment.

Li Bing stepped forward, stopped He Qing's father and son, glared at He Jingyan and said, "Longdi is the Xiongnu to the north, and Tubo to the west. Is your Tiger Runner vegetarian? ”

This shows that the imperial court acquiesced to the fact that the Huben army could pretend to be horse bandits to rob the Xiongnu and Tubo in the next ten years.

He Jingyan shook his head and said, "Grandpa, my Tiger Ben Army also has to be raised with money. ”

During the non-war period of the imperial court, there were not many troops. In the past few years after the end of the Great War in the Northland, He Jingyan sent the Tiger Ben Army everywhere to annihilate the mountain bandits and raise the army with war, and the soldiers had some extra income.

Li Bing reminded: "You won't think of destroying the Huns, the silver is too much." ”

"Mother, let's not go to Jincheng, let's go back to Ludi with you, father, younger brothers and sisters." Li Jingjing walked out with Kong Ye in her arms.

Murong Ying stopped Kong Ye and Li Jingjing while glaring at He Dong.

He Dong shook his head with a wry smile, and after looking at Li Bing, he could only speak: "The imperial court allocates 280,000 taels of silver and 100,000 catties of grain to your husband and wife every year. ”

He Yiyang hurriedly glanced at He Jingyan and signaled to accept it quickly.

He Jingyan said loudly: "Uncle Emperor, your nephew's fief is big, you can borrow a few more envoys from your nephew." ”

The old princess Niu heard He Wu and He Quan say that He Qing's family and He Dong were anxious, and hurriedly rushed over, but she saw everyone sitting and laughing and eating tea, but He Dong's smile was a little reluctant.

Murong Ying said with a pleasant face: "Brother Dong, you see that Jing Niang is tired after a busy morning, so don't go to the palace and rest in the mansion." How is it? ”

He Dongzheng was worried that He Jingyan and Li Jingjing would ask for people and things again when they entered the palace, and immediately said: "I also have this intention." ”

Everyone had lunch at King Qing's Mansion.

Because He Jingqing had woken up and eaten a small bowl of noodles, Princess Niu was overjoyed to use half a bowl of rice.

The emperor and queen left the Qingwang Mansion and returned to the palace, and Li Bing also returned to the Li Mansion.

He Jinghai had just undergone surgery and was in intensive care within three days, and Princess Niu, He Jingqing and his wife, He Wu and his wife, and He Quan all stayed in Qingwangfu.

In less than two hours, the matter of He Jinghai's gall picking spread throughout Chang'an through the mouths of all the imperial doctors.

He Jingyan and Li Jingjing were angry because their fiefs were too poor, and they did not enter the palace to recognize their relatives according to customs.

Before the next morning, hundreds of civil and military officials got together to discuss these two things, saying that He Jinghai was unbelievable, and He Jingyan was unexpectedly able to obtain the fief of Jincheng.

"I heard that the Sea King took the courage to live for three days before he saved his life, and it has only been a day and a night."

"The Sea King has no guts, even if he is alive, his vitality is greatly damaged, and it is estimated that he will not even be able to ride a horse, let alone fight. The days to come should be worse for him than death. ”

"A hundred years after the Sea King, he still has to enter the underworld with a crippled body, it's really pitiful."

"Tiansha Star Li Bing actually didn't recognize his six relatives, King Yan was his disciple, and the princess of the country protector was the granddaughter of his in-laws, and the two were just married and he was caught in such a desperate situation."

"I'm afraid that the princess of the protector will have to sell all her dowry to help King Yan govern the fief."

"Poor princess Protector marries someone from the royal family, and she has to put all the dowry into it."

Before the early dynasty had dispersed, a luxurious carriage escorted by twenty guards came to the main gate of the Qingwang Mansion.

------Off topic------

I woke up the night before yesterday and had insomnia, and then my heart was racing, so scared that I went for a physical check-up yesterday morning, but fortunately there was nothing wrong with my heart.

The guess may be that the work is very stressful and stressful, and I am too tired to stay up late to write until eleven o'clock every day, plus I am a fat man, and I am almost forty years old, and my body can't bear it.

Therefore, the number of words updated in the future will be less, but it is still insisted on constantly changing. Thank you for your understanding.

Remember to vote for me. Thank!
