Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Princess Comes Home I

When the autumn wind rose, Wan Yanhu said goodbye to her husband, mother, brother, uncle and other relatives, and left Huining to go south.

Her mother, Tang Kuo, was reluctant to keep her for half a year, and Wanyanhu said: "The busy farming season in southern Liaoning is coming, and I don't go back to see if I feel uneasy." I planted the seeds, and I had to see them in the warehouse before I was relieved. ”

The Tang Kuo clan knew that they couldn't persuade her, so they had to let her go, but left her with a pair of children to entertain her knees. The children stayed with their mother for the time being, and Yan Hu was relieved that Huining took good care of her two babies, not to mention that her husband was still in Huining.

She stayed overnight, and when she arrived in Tokyo, it was noon, and she didn't go into the city to rest, and continued to urge Ma to go south.

After Xiao Tienu heard Yan Hu passing by in Anpo, he hurriedly led a hundred light horsemen to run out, escorting her all the way to Liaokou before going back.

It was still early when I arrived at Liaokou, but Wanyanhu still went into the city to see - it was no better than Tokyo, because Liaokou was already the jurisdiction of her husband, and it was one of the two major entrances to and from the Liaodong Peninsula!

At this time, Liaokou was already quite large-scale. The coal pride iron and stone near Anpo went south from the Liao River, stopped here, and after rough processing the iron and stone, they were changed to sea ships to go to Jinmen, and another group of people processed the coal group into honeycomb briquettes and other finished products, and went south together with the coal stove.

The summer prosperity of Jinmen once caused the supply of fuel in southern Liaoning to outstrip demand, and this huge demand greatly stimulated the economy of Liaokou, and the transportation and coal production alone fed a large number of people. These workers, as well as the garrison of Liaokou, needed food, clothing, and housing, and when one industry prospered, another industry was driven. In addition, this is not only a traffic artery, but also has a large army to sit in the town, and the public security is better than that of other regions, and merchants are willing to come here to buy property and trade. This virtuous circle has allowed Liaokou to develop from a purely military small city by the river into a coastal town with equal emphasis on military and industry and commerce in just one year. Although its scale is far from being comparable to the famous towns of the Great Song Dynasty, its vitality may be excessive.

Wan Yanhu, accompanied by Cao Guangbi and Yang Pu, rode around Liaokou and sighed: "You are really capable. When I passed by last year, it was just a barren place, how could so many people gather in such a short period of time? Build so many houses? ”

Yang Pu smiled and said: "In order to deal with our big gold, Da Liao has requisitioned troops, horses, grain and grass on a large scale, making the people of the already poor country miserable. Many people can't get along in their hometowns anymore and run to this place. Those who have some possessions will rent a place to do some small business, those who have no money will sell their crafts, and those who have no skills will sell their strength. As long as a place can make people live better, the people around will gather around. If you have someone, are you afraid that you won't be able to build a house? ”

Wan Yanhu said: "In another year and a half, it will be more lively than Huining Han Village, but the place is too miscellaneous and a little messy." ”

Yang Pu said: "This is a new city, everyone has just come, and some things are naturally not as orderly as Ninghan Village." But we'll try to educate them. ”

Suddenly, a melodious voice came, Wan Yanhu had never heard it, so he asked what it was, Yang Pu said: "It's the twilight bell of Zhenhai Temple." ”

"Zhenhai Temple?"

"It's a monk's temple." Yang Pu said: "Those monks came from Jinmen, and they came with letters from the seven generals to ask for a piece of land to build a temple. This small temple has only been built for less than two months, and there are already many believers. After they came, they persuaded people to do good, raised money from wealthy families to help the poor, adopted orphans from all over the world, and did a lot of good deeds. Princess, you just thought it was messing around! Actually, it was even more chaotic a few months ago! There is garbage everywhere, and people from the north and south speak with a different accent, often living according to their own nationality and ethnicity, and often making trouble. Fortunately, these monks have compiled the rules and regulations of our Han Department into a song......"

Wan Yanhu interjected: "Song recipe? ”

"It's a text that can be sung, it's not clear for a while, if the princess is interested, she can call a monk to sing."

Wan Yanhu shook his head and said, "No need, you continue." ”

Yang Pu continued: "These songs are all songs that persuade people to live in harmony, work hard, and behave politely. As soon as I heard it, these songs were not the rules we sang when we were in Huininghan Village? However, the content is different, it seems that these monks have a lot of karma things, although I don't like it very much, but many people are willing to believe it. There are so many things that we can't suppress when we sign a knife and shake it, and these monks can settle it with one mouth! When I think about it, I sometimes don't know what to say! At first, the second general did not approve of letting these monks build a temple, but it was only the intention of the seventh general. However, after seeing these monks coming, many problems in Liaokou were easily solved, and the customs and customs were improving day by day, so I realized that it made sense for them to come here. ”

After hearing that Yan Hu was fascinated, he was about to go to the Buddhist temple to see, Yang Pu said: "Zhenhai Temple is simple in scale, there is nothing to see. It's better to wait until you get to Jinmen to see their ancestral temple. ”

Wan Yanhu asked, "Ancestral Temple? ”

"It's the Gushan Temple in Jinmen. The presiding officer of Zhenhai Temple is the apprentice of the monk Huiguan, the presiding monk of Gushan Temple. ”

After thinking about it, Yan Hu dispelled the idea of going to Zhenhai Temple, stayed in Liaokou for one night, and left the next day. During this time, Yang Pu has been running back and forth in Chenzhou, Kaizhou and the Department of the Suzhou Museum, urging and co-organizing the government affairs of the three places, so it can be said that he is Yang Yingqi's doppelganger. Now that the autumn harvest is in sight, he was about to go to Jinmen to report to Yang Yingqi, so he led a group of civil and military personnel and returned to Jinmen with Wanyanhu.

As they traveled south, they would see patches of crops waiting to be harvested at short intervals. Although Liaokou is prosperous, Wanyanhu actually doesn't like the noise of those smoke and dust barriers very much. At this time, I saw these vigorous ridges in my heart.

The large-scale development of the Liaodong Peninsula by the Han Dynasty has just begun, and most of the original residents of the peninsula can rent cattle, horses, and iron tools from the Han Dynasty, learn farming techniques, and get crop seeds, but after all, the population is too small, together with the Han immigrants who went south before, the entire Liaodong Peninsula has no more than 10,000 registered farmers, so the farmland seen in the eyes of Wanyan Tiger is a piece, not a piece, and it is not a scene where hundreds of miles of wheat ears are connected.

In the evening, they rested in a small village outside Xin'an County, the former administrative office of Ningzhou. The village is surprisingly small, with only twenty-five households. When the village chief heard that the princess was coming, he hurriedly ran out to greet him.

Wan Yanhu looked at him with familiar eyes and asked, "You are the old department of Huining, right?" ”

The village chief was overjoyed and said, "Princess, you still know me!" I used to work under Captain Zhou Sheng! Now he is the head of this small village. ”

Wan Yanhu said: "Ah, it turns out that I was promoted, congratulations." ”

The village chief was also a little proud: "Thank you, princess." I am a good farmer and I know how to write, so I sent down to take care of these new vagrants. These people have fled from the west and the north, and they have planted fields, which is called a wasted place! You have to sow seeds according to their kind of rambling, wait for the grain to be harvested, and don't want to collect a hundred catties in one well! ”

Wan Yanhu looked back at the cornfield under the sunset and said, "No, the growth is very good." ”

The village chief said, "Hmph! You didn't ask me to type it out yet! ”

"Oops!" Wan Yanhu shouted: "How do you beat people? ”

The village chief said cowardly: "I used to be clumsy, didn't I also wake up the princess?" ”

Wan Yan Huqi said: "I beat you? ”

The village chief said: "Yes, I am a prisoner of the Liao army and was assigned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to farm. Once, when you sowed seeds that were sown indiscriminately, the princess, you came and struck me with a blow, and showed me by hand. That's when I started farming. ”

Wan Yanhu sighed and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't even remember." ”

The village chief hurriedly laughed and said, "Princess, don't say that, many of us have been beaten by you and have been guided by you." Thousands of people, where can you remember them all? But when everyone talks about it, they say that you are deeply responsible. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, Yang Pu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know how to use idioms, it seems that I have really read a little book." ”

That night, the group stayed in this small village, and the village chief offered sweet potato rice and said embarrassedly: "The pig has only been raised for more than three months, and the rules of the Han Department dare not kill it." ”

Wan Yanhu said: "You did the right thing. I'm not greedy, I just have enough to eat. After eating, he asked how his wife was doing.

The village chief's wife is a Korean, she was a prisoner of the Jurchens, and was bought back by the village chief for two catties of tea to be his wife. ”

The village chief scolded her and said, "What do you know! This year is naturally bitter, but next year will be better! ”

Wan Yan Hu said in a stunned voice: "How can you treat your wife like this!" Then he asked the village chief's wife what kind of hard work she had, and the village chief's wife said that there was not enough food to eat, and there was no place to buy it if she had money. When asked why there was not enough food to eat, she said that "they were all deceived and bought by people from the south." Then he went back to the house and took out a large handful of Song Qian and said: "I heard that it was from Jinmen, and that was the place where the Seven Generals were seated. But with this pile of things, you can't eat it, you can't wear it, what's the use? ”
