Lin Zimo is here, the arrangements are full, and the company of his family makes him forget his troubles for a while. Zhu Rui was in dire straits, after entering the palace, he went to find the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother sat leisurely on the mahogany floor, not looking at Zhu Rui, Zhu Rui's mouth was full of bitterness: "Queen Mother, why can't you get along with your son?" Only then did the Queen Mother raise her head: "No, where can the mourning family get along with you?" Zhu Rui said: "You know that Zimo and I can't tolerate others, why do you want to give two side concubines?" The Queen Mother raised her eyelids: "What's wrong?" That Lin Zimo can't have children, what's wrong with taking two more concubines for you? and did not drive him away. Zhu Rui trembled, but he still patiently explained: "When I first married Zimo, I promised him that I would only have one wife in this life. The Queen Mother flicked her sleeves: "How can this be reasonable, Wang'er, you are the prince, how can there be a reason for him?" Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world? Zhu Rui bowed and said, "Please fulfill the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother "snorted": "The mourning family's decree has been issued, and there is no change, you go back to arrange the wedding." He turned up and went to the back hall.

Zhu Rui was cold all over his body, his heart was cold, he knew that if he really wanted to marry two partial concubines, Zimo would definitely not stay, hammered his painful head, turned around and ran to the emperor's study.

Looking at the royal brother who was sitting on the chair with luck, Emperor Longsheng was also in a lawsuit. Their queen mother, the older they get, the more unclear the situation becomes, and most of the defeat of the north is due to Lin Zimo, and he, the royal brother, has to respect three points, but the old lady jumped out and shouted and killed. Half a day later, Zhu Rui said: "This matter is a little strange, it is impossible for the queen mother to suddenly give me a marriage." Emperor Longsheng nodded, beckoned his henchmen and eunuchs: "Go and see, who has said anything to the Queen Mother in the past few days?" "This wind can't be fueled, there are many women in the palace, and there are many kinds of words, and a few more sow discord will be even more difficult to manage.

Zhu Rui continued: "Brother Huang, what do you think about this matter? Emperor Longsheng said: "Can't you really accept a side concubine?" What did your king say? Zhu Rui scratched his head: "I said it a long time ago, I am the only one in my life, otherwise, he will not marry me." Emperor Longsheng sighed, shame! The brother made the family hold it so tightly: "The queen mother's decree has been made, this matter is difficult to do!" ”

Zhu Rui glared and dropped his last move: "Zimo has a good plan to govern the northern land, the imperial brother will look at it." Emperor Longsheng was stunned: "What is a good strategy?" Zhu Rui said slyly: "Zimo said that he may have a way to govern the northern land once and for all and make them submit forever." "Emperor Longsheng was dizzy by this bomb, the nation on horseback has always been a great trouble for the emperors of every dynasty, but for thousands of years, no emperor has been able to completely subdue them. If Lin Zimo really has this kind of ability, it is a great thing, I am afraid that he will have to supply Lin Zimo, let alone Zhu Rui.

After staying for a long time, Emperor Longsheng said: "As long as he has the ability to subdue the Northland, I will go out and take everything down for you." He shouted outside the door: "Someone, invite King Jing into the palace." ”

The eunuch rushed to the Lin Mansion, the family had not yet eaten dinner, and when they heard the emperor's call, they were a little panicked. Lin Zimo comforted: "It's okay, the emperor is a Ming Jun, and he has always treated me well, don't worry." ”

How many times has Emperor Longsheng turned in the imperial study, and Zhu Rui was dizzy to see. couldn't help but say: "Brother Huang, the ground is going to be stepped out of the ditch by you." Emperor Longsheng turned around and said, "What do you know?" If Zimo really has a good plan to subdue the Northland, then it is really the biggest thing, how can I calm down? He said viciously: "If you are coaxing me, don't blame me for driving you out." ”

When Lin Zimo arrived, he immediately announced that he came in, and without waiting for him to salute, he asked: "Zimo, listen to Zhu Rui, do you have a good plan to subdue the Northland?" Lin Zimo was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Rui, and Zhu Rui said gently: "That's what you told me that day." Lin Zimo nodded: "Yes, however, the minister only has a rough place to Chen, and the details have to be immersive." See on the ground. ”

Emperor Longsheng was overjoyed: "You talk about it first." Lin Zimo said: "Actually, it's not difficult to say, as long as they can eat and drink enough, and they are not willing to start a war, every war starts with looting property and food." Emperor Longsheng said: "I also know this, but how can I make them eat and drink?" ”

Lin Zimo's experience is also from modern times, the north is not a desert, but many places have fertile land, but they have been used to it for thousands of years, all pay attention to breeding, and it is still free-range, all rely on God to eat.

After thinking for a while, he said: "This time we went to Biansai, we have some experience in planting, the land there is not fertile, but we can grow rough grains such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, presumably in the depths of the north, send experienced old farmers to go over and take a look at the field." Cattle and sheep can be kept in captivity, their dwellings are fixed, they do not run all year round, not only do they want to, but with a fixed income, they will no longer plunder around. In sending some teaching gentlemen over, give their children free classes, teach them Han culture from an early age, love peace, and in the long run, they will be sinicized. ”

Emperor Longsheng was excited, yes, as long as he can settle down, who wants to fight? Lin Zimo's construction is all on the point, and it may really be successful. If he succeeds, then he will be passed down from generation to generation.

At this moment, the confidant eunuch replied, knowing that it was Yang Guifei who instigated in front of the queen mother, Emperor Longsheng was furious, for the sake of the child, demoted Yang Guifei to a concubine, grounded for three years, and the prince was handed over to the queen to raise.

Once it was determined, at the risk of offending the Queen Mother, Emperor Longsheng acted resolutely, and the next day he issued an order, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites was carried into the palace and sealed the position of a concubine, and the Ministry of Rites could not say anything else, Gesaiah was pointed out to the second son of another prince, that son was a gentleman, and did not vote for Gesaiah's thoughts, after all, it was a defeated country, and he was unwilling to do so.

And Lin Zimo was promoted to the first-class Zhenbei Hou, and he can be enmeng for three generations. The Governor of the Northland was established, Zhu Rui was also the Governor of the Northland, and Lin Zimo assisted him in taking charge of the affairs of the Northland. There was a conflict with the Queen Mother just now, and it happened to be for personal use, and the two of them went again, just to solve this troublesome thing for him.

The holy decree was boiling, and the queen mother was so angry that her nose was crooked, but the holy decree was much more than her decree, and she was not angry, plus she lost face and couldn't get sick.

The Lin family is happy and worried, the son has earned such a great feat for the family, and it is a great honor for Ze to be descended, but it is the son who earned it with his life, and he has to go to the place where people freeze to death and everyone eats meat, how can the family worry?

The tribes in the north are also happy and worried, happy that if they can live a stable life from now on, it is what they have hoped for generations, but in this way, they will always submit to the Han Dynasty. But come to think of it, there must be more joy than sorrow, and let's see, see that this governor is not capable of improving their lives.

So, a month after coming back, just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Rui and Lin Zimo went back to the north with the envoys of various tribes.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the temperature generally rises slowly. But the farther north we went, the colder it became, and after the pass, there was still a light snowfall.

The Governor's Mansion was temporarily located in the city of Biansai, and after more than a year of hard work, it has become relatively prosperous. Now that the war is over, many bold mainland merchants have come early in the hope of receiving better things.

Lin Zimo had long noticed that when the merchants came here, they did not have the heart of equivalent exchange, a bag of salt, a catty of tea, and a piece of coarse cloth could be exchanged for something several times more than these values.

If you want to change the lives of the people of the Northland, this is the first step that needs to be changed, and don't let the merchants lose money, as long as they exchange at the same price, after being transported back to the mainland, they can still make half of the difference.

Lin Zimo's plan, Zhu Rui implemented, in the most border of Liulin Town, set up a court acquisition point, specializing in the purchase of all kinds of leathers, gems, spices from the grassland, and then sold to merchants at a small difference, not only to ensure the interests of the Tatar tribes, but also to let the merchants make money, the court also got a lot of benefits from it, although the merchants made less, but they did not have to go deep into the steppe, threatened by their lives, make less, and did not have much opinion.

Here, the planting weather is still early, and it will take some time for the old farmers recruited from all over the country to arrive. Zhu Rui went out every day to inspect the cargo exchange base, and when he couldn't stop it repeatedly, he had to let Lin Zimo follow.

On the spot, in fact, the people of the Northland live a very hard life, in addition to a large number of goods handed over to the acquisition point, their own small amount of goods, there is also a large exchange set.

Walking in the bazaar, life is manifested. Quite a few Tatars in tattered leather robes, leading a few emaciated lambs, squatted there waiting for the buyer, and there were also many cattle and horses, all of whom looked at the people passing by with great earnestness. Although the Han Dynasty has allocated a lot of relief grain, there are many monks and few porridges, and it is very good for people who can eat half full. Now that the two places are peaceful, many people hope that their remaining cattle and sheep will be exchanged for something useful.

Most of the merchants from the mainland are shrewd, and there is bargaining everywhere. The two of them with a few retinues also looked around with the flow of people, and the leather robes of the Tatars were generally not washed all winter, and the smell of the smell and the taste of livestock formed a strange smell. The two of them who couldn't stand it were about to leave, when they suddenly heard shouting, and a ten-year-old girl wearing a torn leather robe and frostbitten face fell in front of Zhu Rui and Lin Zimo, and then, a big man was about to come up and kick and beat him.
