Originally, Zhirong planned to go to the Dongyue Grassland to arrest Cao Zhen before the New Year, and at the same time, he could also understand the attitude of the Dongyue Grassland towards Xinzhou Mansion. After all, East Vietnam is the border area of the Golden State, and if a war breaks out, the people of the Golden State will suffer.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and when the New Year was approaching, there was a heavy snowfall in Dongyue, and the grassland was covered with snow, and the march was difficult. Considering that Shen Jiajun had just finished fighting and needed to recuperate, and it was not suitable to fight in such a harsh world, Zhirong suspended his plan to enter the Dongyue grassland, planning to go back when the climate was a little warmer.

Since she didn't go to Dongyue, she had to put the Golden State in order, Zhirong felt that the name of the Golden State was very ugly, so she changed the name of the state capital to Mingzhou, which means the sunrise in the east and the enlightened state. And at this time a notice will be posted throughout the city. Skilled craftsmen created a new state plaque. At this point, there is no longer a zài Golden State.

The heads of those big families burst into tears when they heard this, and finally realized that the time when they dominated here was gone. Some young heads of families who were aware of the current affairs were willing to surrender to Zhirong and hand over their property and private army, while those who were stubborn were not tolerated by the raiders.

Zhirong, who handed over the family property, also unceremoniously put them into the general treasury one by one, how could the property that these foxes took the initiative to hand over be the real amount, and they would definitely leave some gold, silver and jewelry. However, Zhirong doesn't intend to expose it, since people are obedient to you, you must always leave a way for people to live, otherwise it will be bad if you don't do it too much.

And those rich people also expressed their submission when they saw this, Zhirong had no intention of attacking these rich people, they were just some businessmen, no matter where there were rich and poor. What she needs to do now is to give the poor more ways to live and earn a living, and to broaden the wisdom of the people. Let there be fewer and fewer poor people, and in time who knows which ones will become rich. And who are the rich families who will decline?

Among those gold diggers, there are also many talented people, including teachers and gentlemen, former wealthy merchants in the south, famous doctors from the people, people from big families, etc., Zhirong chose a few civil and military officials to enter the Mingcheng Prefecture on errands. She wants to tell all the people of Mingcheng that as long as there are talents, they can be reused and have their own use.

If you want to open up people's wisdom, you must first open a school. There is a large school here, and in the past, only the children of large families and wealthy families could come in and study. And Zhirong broke this rule, as long as you want to read and are willing to study, you can come in.

And she also ordered the creation of a school for women, and women can choose what they like to study. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, or female celebrities are taught by some wives and ladies of exiled big families. And these ladies and ladies have a good reputation and are happy to teach.

These women, who had suffered in the city for many years, had long since lost their former glory, and some even became beggars. Just when they thought they were ending their lives, Zhirong gave them another world.

The same is true for the down-and-out children of those big families, some choose to join the city guard, some enter the government office, some choose to teach in the academy, and so on, and there are countless options.

This city, which was originally only gorgeous on the outside but empty on the inside, finally came to life, and the people regarded Zhirong as the god of salvation, so they also called her the Lord. This is the respect and affirmation of her. She didn't pretend to shirk it, and let them call it.

There are many talents in the Golden City, and Zhirong finds that this city can't accommodate these talents, so she asks if anyone is willing to go to the Evil Spirit City to take office. The culture and commerce there are very backward, and if there are talented and virtuous people in the past, it is a good thing for the evil spirit city.

Not only did she think of this idea, but Jin Zixuan also mentioned it in her heart. At the same time, it is also mentioned that after the beginning of spring, a small city can be built between Mingcheng and Zongzhou Capital, so that there will be a place to rest between Mingcheng and Zongzhou Capital in the future. It can also enhance the connection with the general state capital.

Zhirong understands that the most important thing in the Golden State is gold and manpower, and it is not difficult to build a city. So I started planning. 1. Qiē resources are fully prepared, just waiting for the beginning of spring.

This is a good scene, Zhirong lives a full life every day, patrolling all over the place, and distributing food to some people who are really poor to survive the New Year.

Every time the letters came from the west, there were several, all of them were written by Jin Zixuan himself, and the date was from the time he left the Evil Spirit City, one a day, without interruption, some of the letters were wet with snow, and some places were already blurry.

Jin Zixuan always saw that his battle process was understated, and more often asked Zhirong's body, whether he adapted to the climate in the east, etc., to give her the characteristics of the city in the west, as well as his strategy of how to rectify those big families, and told her some of his opinions on the Dongyue grassland for reference.

Of course, there are no warm and tender words between the lines, but Zhirong knows that he must be having a very difficult time, if he takes a city, the entire western part of the north needs him to rectify, and the state capital and big households over there are even more difficult to deal with, and it will definitely not have an effect if he does not use the wrist of thunder.

Now there are still people in the north who recognize the imperial court and the general state capital, and the places captured by Jin Zixuan are all respected by the king of the north, and he just saves these hardships and glory. The letter to Zhirong is like a letter from home, ordinary but warm.

Among them, there was a letter Zhirong who was particularly impressed, which read: Zhirong, do you remember the twin flowers of Evil Spirit City? Jin Ming said that you and I are like that flower. But I don't think so. Twins one will lose the other will wither, but I hope you are the snow lotus on the top of the snowy mountain, even if I am broken one day, or the people and things around you change, you are still you, the bright woman, running towards tomorrow.

This letter always made Zhirong feel very strange, saying that it was a complaint but not like it, saying that it was not, he also mentioned the twins. It's really hard to understand.

On this day, the letters from the Evil Spirit City and the General Prefecture Mansion arrived, and Zhirong learned from Wen Yuxin that Li Ji's health was very poor now, and he fainted at every turn, and he only summoned the Jade Concubine to serve the sick, and even Murong Guifei was not allowed to see the Holy Driver. In this way, Li You's situation was even more difficult, but fortunately, with the support of the Wen family and the Qiu family, it was better than the situation of King Chen.

And the Murong family is still neutral, and the Yan family has never said anything about the crown prince. Depending on the situation, Li Ji does not plan to set up another prince, but waits until he is a hundred years later to make a posthumous photo. So what the courtiers are most concerned about now is whose name will be on the emperor's posthumous photo.

Wen Yu also said that he would not organize Zhirong's operation in the north, and again mentioned the matter of negotiations. Even the importance of the northern border to Jingtang, he also hoped that Zhirong could help Li You at a critical moment.

Zhirong quickly replied to him. Agree to negotiate and will help Lee Woo whenever she wants. But this is not because of Wen Yu, but to repay Li You's kindness.

What's more, now that Concubine Yu seems to have accused Li Ji, how could Zhirong let Tao Lingran harm her relatives and friends.

There were two letters from the Evil Spirit City, one was a peace letter, and the other was from southern Xinjiang. Yanhua. Zhirong meditated in her heart. After months of separation, there was finally news of him.

Zhirong opened the letter with a slightly trembling hand, thinking that she would be relatively indifferent, but it turned out that she was still so expectant and excited. After all, feelings will not be forgotten lightly, she is not, and neither is Yanhua.

However, after reading the letter, Zhirong sat on the seat of the main hall and was silent for a long time. It wasn't until Ling'er reminded her that the embroidery had fallen to the ground, and she folded the letter in a trance.

"Is the Lord tired, let's take a rest."

Ling'er put away the embroidery and put all the letters in the box. At this time, there were firecrackers outside, and people's cheers, Ling'er opened the window and looked back with a smile: "Lord, there are people doing happy events outside, this is about to end the year, but double happiness is coming." ”

Zhirong walked to the window in a daze, and the cold wind blew. Pain into the bones. She watched the groom sit on the horse and clench his fists to thank the people around him, but the expression on his face was like a spring breeze in the cold winter. When the sedan chair came over, Zhirong's eyes were moist, and the happy Ling'er hadn't noticed her abnormality yet.

In the next few days, Zhirong was busy with the people's New Year's affairs. Only slept for two or three hours a day, Shen Heng, Shen Qing and the others looked distressed, but they couldn't persuade them.

"Something is wrong with the Lord, I heard Ling'er say that it was after reading the letter from Southern Xinjiang." This night, Shen Qing and Shen Heng got together to talk about Zhirong's condition after finishing the things in hand.

If it was before, Shen Qing would definitely steal the letter to see what was going on. However, since she came to Mingcheng, although she is still like a sister to Zhirong, she also remembers her duties and duties and does not spy on Zhirong's privacy. On the contrary, he is more obedient and sensible.

Of course, the title of the killer has not changed. The soldiers of Mingcheng were not afraid of her. The heads of those big families and the rich families saw her like cats and mice.

Whenever this happens, Shen Qing will always complain to Zhirong that the interrogation of the various families should not be in front of everyone that day, and in that various ways, the flesh and blood are blurry and scare people, but she is now regarded as a flood beast, and some people even don't believe that she is a woman.

At that time, Zhi Rong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if anyone else cares, as long as Shen Heng knows that you are a woman." ”

Shen Heng sighed; "I did find out some news from Jingtang, it is said that the young master of the Yan family is married, and she is a princess of the Tianze tribe in southern Xinjiang. I think that's probably what the letter says. "What else can the Lord be sad about, it is naturally Yanhua.

"Yan Hua would be so stupid as to personally write a letter to the Lord to tell him that he is married? Eighty percent of people are ghosts. Shen Qing scratched his head and stabbed Shen Heng hard: "You want to think about it, how can the Lord go on like this?" Her body is just right, what if she falls into trouble again, the snow lotus is just like that. No more. ”

Shen Heng smiled slightly, and took out a paper bag from his arms: "Put this tea on the Lord, the king of the northern realm gave it, although it is a medicine to calm the nerves, but it also adds a lot of tonic medicine." You can use it with confidence. ”

"So you're prepared, don't say it earlier." Shen Qing took the medicine and smelled it, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's a good thing, this is a rare tonic, I heard that there are not many in the west." The King of the North has a heart. ”

Zhirong slept very deeply this night, and when she woke up on the second day, it was already three poles in the morning, and she quickly asked the maid to help freshen up.

After washing her face, she sat in front of the mirror and suddenly felt that something was wrong, she took a closer look, and found that the raised scars on her face had flattened, and the non-raised scars seemed to be much lighter than before.

If nothing else, the imprint of the Shang Palace Bureau has become flattened. She stroked her face little by little, "Ling'er, Shen Qing, come here!" ”

The two thought something big was wrong and hurriedly ran in, but saw Zhirong's eyes looking straight into the mirror.

"Lord." Shen Qing stepped forward and asked softly, "The Lord didn't sleep well?" ”

Zhirong took her hand and said hurriedly, "Shen Qing, look at the scar on my face." It seems to have faded a lot, and some small scars are gone. Am I mistaken? ”

When Shen Qing heard this, he hurriedly observed Zhirong's face carefully, and Zhirong was not mistaken, and it did fade. She was shocked to realize in her heart that the only thing that could make such a scar disappear was the Changing Face Pill. However, the face change pill is not immediate, and it will take a period of time to recuperate. When did the Lord take the Changing Pill?

"Lord, it is indeed a lot lighter, and the subordinates look like the effect of the Yan Dan, but it is still impossible to make a conclusion. Has the Lord ever taken a golden elixir? Shen Qing asked.

"Golden Elixir?" Zhirong shook her head, where did she use it, and suddenly a scene flashed over, and she said in disbelief: "When I was in the underground palace, the king of the northern realm got a golden elixir. ”

Shen Qing suddenly understood the intention of Jin Zixuan's tonic pills, which was to make the Yan Chang Pill exert a better medicinal effect. And that elixir was most likely ground and put into the juice of the snow lotus.

"According to the knowledge of the Lord's subordinates, the medicinal effect of the Changing Appearance Pill still needs to be impregnated with the essence of the Heavenly Spirit Pill to be effective. Without that essence qi rebellious pill, the effect is not good. Hey, master, what's wrong with you? Shen Qing said and saw Zhirong sitting there with her eyes straight, as if she was in deep thought.

Every day after that, Shen Qing secretly gave her tranquilizers, so that on the day of the Spring Festival, Zhirong's face was a lot ruddy, and the whole person looked much more energetic. In the hall of the state capital, Zhi Rong ordered people to set up a banquet and beckoned everyone to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

"Today is the Chinese New Year, all of you are brothers and sisters who were born and died with me, here I Bai Zhi Rong toast everyone with a glass of wine!" Zhirong raised her head and a soft glass of liquor went down her throat.

"I'm willing to go to the soup for the Lord!" Everyone stood up and respectfully took the wine glass and drank it all, and bowed deeply to Zhirong: "May the Lord be in good health and get what he wants!" ”

Zhirong motioned for everyone to sit down, she looked at Hongmei on the table and thought, "Did you get what you wanted?" It's impossible in this life.

At this time, Yanhua of the Tianze Department of Southern Xinjiang participated in the tribal palace banquet, and the princess Tianze was sitting next to him, and his mind was full of the figure of another woman.

The banquet in the Jingtang Ming Palace's mansion had dispersed, Li You sat on the eaves, thinking about the scene of the long night talk with Zhirong, and a wry smile of nostalgia appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Zhirong, are you okay?" ”

The banquet dispersed, and Zhirong walked towards his courtyard drunkenly with a wine jug. Ling'er and Shen Qing, who were originally with her, disappeared at some point, and she wondered where she had gone. Walking and walking coldly into a warm chest.

She fumbled with her skills, a fluffy cloak, a cold face clip, and some frost and snow in her hair. It seems to be a passerby who has just stopped to rest.

"Zhirong, New Year's gift!" The person on the head looked at her blushing face, and his drunken eyes with tears hurt in his heart, but smiled softly, and took her in his arms.

"I rushed for three days and three nights, and the white commander on Chinese New Year's Eve should always give a drink to drink." (To be continued......)
