223 Separation
(Yomitomo-sama, continue asking for votes!) Please order it all! )
Yang Yunping nodded slightly: "Not only that, but the former four counties in the northwest border will be restored and one state will be under the jurisdiction of Longxi Mansion." In fact, the two countries were at war, such as Qingyang County and Jinhua County, which were not greatly affected by the war, but Yuannan County and Yuanbei County, which were located on both sides of Humen Pass, were seriously destroyed. ”
Far away from the border county seats, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, although the war broke out, but the people on one side were protected from the suffering of the war, which shows that the magistrates of these two counties are well governed.
Although the territory of the four counties is wider than that of Henan and Anhui, the population is less than half of that of Henan and Anhui, and most of the barren slopes with poor soil cannot be planted or cultivated, let alone fertile land. In the northwest, it can be regarded as one of the few good fields, and the harvest of one mu is less than that of the rich land in the Central Plains, and the good ones can reach half, and the bad ones even reach only two or three percent of those places.
Su Yan thought about it, this kind of return was a little strange, and said, "Isn't it the emperor's intention?" ”
Yang Yunping asked with a smile: "What does the third sister think?" ”
Su Yan looked dazed, "If you ask me about the array, calligraphy and painting, I can still know something, how can I understand such a major event in the court?" ”
She doesn't understand, and Yang Yunping doesn't understand it even more.
In Yang Yunping's eyes, Su Yan is the most special woman in the world, she looks soft and weak, but she has a belly of heart and eyes.
Yang Yunping couldn't guess what the emperor meant, and she also knew it when she overheard her father mention it to several generals.
"Cold Moon City was changed to Longxi City, so did Huyang City also change its name?"
Su Yan once mentioned in the recital she drafted that Cold Moon City and Huyang City were called devil cities by the people, and if the Left Shoulder King also wrote these into the recital, it would inevitably not make the emperor think about it.
"That's right, Huyang City was renamed Yangcheng, and Yangcheng no longer belongs to the border city. It is also 500 miles away from Yumen Pass to Yangcheng, and there are natural dangers such as Yumen Pass and Humen Pass as barriers, and from now on, the soldiers in the northwest can also suffer less from war. ”
Could it be that it is a confirmation of the sentence "there is no reason for the west out of Yangguan". Su Yan doesn't know where the Yangguan in the Tang Dynasty was, but the Yangguan here is in the northwest.
Along the way, at the Yumen Pass, there were already soldiers stationed in Humen who moved here, and you can see the tents set up inside and outside the Yumen Pass from a distance. It is said that the construction of the Yuguan Gate will not be completed until next spring, and a town will be built three miles from the Yumen Pass to the direction of Yicheng to serve as a place for trade between the two countries. In addition, the imperial court allocated funds to select an open area in Yumen Pass to build Changping County and County Government.
Some pioneer generals had already agreed with the head general of Yumen Pass, and exchanged the older 3,000 people at Yumen Pass for the younger 3,000 people in the march.
The sorrow of parting filled everyone's hearts, and the further south they went. The fewer soldiers stationed in the border cities, the fewer they will be. Along the way, Marshal Yang would leave the young soldiers selected from each battalion behind, waiting for the opportunity to return to the imperial city when the older soldiers in the border city were replaced.
Triumphant return. It is completely different from when he came, he entered Cold Moon City, no, now it is called Longxi City, and the decadence of the past is gone. Although there were not many people in the city, there were many of them, and when they entered the city, they saw that on both sides of the street stood neatly men, women, and children, all dressed in simple clothes, but all of them clean. Dressed up and standing on the sides with their heads waiting.
At night, Su Yan ordered Bai Zhi to open her box. A box full of items. It's mostly the burden of young ladies and girls, and there is another ordinary-looking bamboo tube in the box, looking at the bamboo tube, Su Yan's expression is indescribably gratified.
Looking for the bamboo tube, Su Yan found another change of clothes. One set of coats, one set of obscene clothes. Shan Xun wrapped it in a piece of wrapping cloth.
Zhan Yan joked: "Auntie, it's really good to be your girl, you can do this kind of trivial thing yourself." With their eyes, they looked at Bai Qian and Bai Zhi, and the two of them were a little embarrassed.
Bai Qian defended: "Why should the little lady damage the slave maid. The slave also wanted to help, but the county lord didn't allow it. ”
What is the purpose of the girl, that is, to serve the master.
The master finished the work herself, and the girl became an idle eater.
The Longxi City Post House was also renovated two months ago, thanks to the 70,000 Xiqi soldiers who were captured alive, they became the most robbed slaves in the northwest, and the county officials, officials, and guards all sent people to Yang Bingzhong to ask for people, the county government officials were to help the people work, and the guards were to repair the wall. With these slaves, much can be done.
Early in the morning, Yang Bingzhong also said to everywhere that if you give it to someone, you have to be optimistic, and you must not be killed.
Liu Fei flew into the guest room of the post house, and when he saw Su Yan packing up her baggage, her heart sank, and she said, "Don't be idle, you girls, hurry up and wash your clothes." Zhanyan, your mother made some bait, maybe it's okay now, you can take some for us to eat. ”
Su Yan knew that she was deliberately supporting everyone, and when there were only two sisters left in the guest room, Liu Feifei asked in a low voice, "Where is the senior sister going?" ”
Su Yan smiled knowingly, stretched out her hand and patted Liu Feifei: "I want to find a vassal senior." ”
Liu Feifei couldn't hide his joy, "Senior sister wants to go back to Zhongnan Mountain, do you want to go back to visit your uncle, master, and sisters?" Speaking of which, I miss them so much. ”
"Shhhhhhhh Also, I don't have much money on me, so I'll have to scrape together some money. Feifei, you also know the way, the paintings of his predecessors are now so valuable, although he is a person from outside the world, but ......" paused, "I can't help but say no." Don't make a fuss about it yet, I'll find someone to borrow money. ”
It is not so much that Su Yan wants to go back to Zhongnan Mountain, it is better to say that she wants to visit her master and sisters, as well as the hidden genius who lives in the thatched hut of Zhongnan Mountain.
Liu Feifei smiled: "I'm going too." ”
"Okay, okay, you come with me. After arriving in Yangcheng, he was separated from everyone. ”
Liu Feifei has also been bored recently, but fortunately, there are still Yang Yunping and Jiang Zhanyan in the army who can talk and chat, and there are a few chattering girls.
Su Yan handed over her things to Liu Feifei: "Just go back and see everyone, and we will be back in a few days, before the second brother and them arrive in the imperial city, we will meet them." Bring less stuff with you. ”
Liu Feifei responded, "I know the way", Su Yan smiled and left the guest room and went to find Jiang Shukun.
He was talking to Marshal Yang's father and son, and the king of the left shoulder, Su Yan went in, owed a debt, said two auspicious greetings, approached Jiang Shukun, and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Jiang Shukun asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Su Yan laughed dryly, "Second brother, do you have any money on you?" ”
Jiang Shukun smiled.
Su Yan smiled: "Second brother, give me all the money you have, I will be of great use." She smiled brighter and brighter, "It's not easy for the second brother to support the family, so I borrowed it from you." ”
Jiang Shukun stayed in the barracks all the year round, eating and using everything in the army, rarely going out, and said: "I don't have any silver with me, ask your second sister-in-law to go, and say what I said, how much will be given to you." ”
Su Yan smiled charmingly, "The second brother is the best, then I'll borrow it from the second sister-in-law." ”
"Family, if you don't borrow anything, just go to her and get it."
Having said that, Jiang Shukun is also a family, two sons and a daughter, seeing that the eldest son is going to marry and start a family when he returns to the imperial city, and he has to prepare a dowry to show his face, and there are many places to spend money, how can she take the silver of the second room.
Su Yan took her skirt and exited the council hall, went to the Murong family, and said that she wanted to borrow silver.
Murong asked, "How much do you want?" ”
So-yeon held out a finger.
"A hundred taels of silver?" Murong got up and was about to get it, but Su Yan tugged at the sleeve of her shirt and said with a smile: "Ten thousand taels of silver tickets." ”
Murong seemed to have heard a strange thing, "My sister-in-law, what do you want so much silver for?" ”
Yu Suyan, 10,000 taels doesn't seem to be much, but for the Murong family, it is all the belongings in the northwest of their second room.
Su Yan pulled her and was about to speak, when she saw Zhan Yan walk into the house with a small mouth, "Where are Aunt and Aunt Liu going?" The two of you are weirdly tight, and Aunt Liu hides in the house and mysteriously picks up things. ”
Murong Clan's mouth opened wide, full of suspicion: "What are you going to do?" ”
When they go out, Su Yan is young, Jiang Shukun is the elder brother, if their family returns to the Imperial City Right Prime Minister's Mansion, with the Yu family's temperament, they can't see her baby daughter, and they have to be eaten alive and skinned.
Su Yan said: "The second sister-in-law knows the way, I know a few friends who are outside the world. From Longxi to the Imperial City, look at the speed of this large group of people, and it will take Layue to arrive in Beijing at the earliest, so I want to visit the vassal predecessors.
He is a person who likes to be quiet the most, and he doesn't like to talk to strangers, and his second sister-in-law knows how precious the paintings he gave me are, and now it is difficult to find a painting in the imperial city. I can't go empty-handed, and on the way there, I have to get him some decent gifts.
I need silver, at least a large sum of silver. Second sister-in-law, do you have it, if you have more, lend me 20,000 taels, and when I return to the imperial city, I will pay you back. Good no good? ”
Murong Clan listened to Su Yan's words and was stunned for a moment, "You girl, you will get 10,000 taels of silver when you open your mouth, my God, you and I are the one who opened the bank." Our family has been at the border for many years, and you have seen how many belongings I have. After the war, a second-entry courtyard prepared in the early years was reduced to ashes by a fire. But everything that is valuable, I take it with me, just my jewelry, and these few things on my head. ”
Zhanyan looked at his mother, looked at Su Yan again, and said coquettishly: "Mother, you can give it to the little aunt." Are you two sworn sisters? Our family doesn't have much property, didn't you exchange everything of value for silver earlier? It's better to keep it than to give it to the little aunt. ”
Su Yan was full of joy, and reached out to caress Zhan Yan's face, "Look, it's still my niece who hurts the most, and she will favor me." Really good, when you leave the cabinet, my aunt will give you a generous gift. ”
Zhan Yan's little face turned red, and she called coquettishly: "My aunt will make fun of me." ”
Murong sighed lightly, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked for 20,000 taels of silver, and she couldn't take it out like this, so she opened her treasure box, took out a stack of silver tickets, and counted and counted, "My family has 13,000 taels of silver, if you want, take it." ”
