Ji Xinyu said helplessly: "Yes, the land was returned, but it also completely offended those corrupt officials and gentry." How could those corrupt officials and gentry tolerate such a 'stupid' prince as him to continue to be in charge of such a rich piece of land? ”

"The master should let the big brothers of the Guardian Division arrest and kill all those corrupt officials and corrupt officials." Liu Qin said angrily.

In Zhongzhou, where Ji Xinyu is now, there has been no rebellion from the vassal kings, so the vassal kings in various places still have a lot of power. The vassal king also retained an army, and the feudal lord had to collect 30% of the tax after the fiefdom was completed, and he did not have to pay taxes on his own private land.

Hearing Liu Qin say that he wanted to send the army to arrest people, he knocked on Liu Qin's head and said: "If that's the case, these corrupt officials and gentry don't write to the court to say that their father bullied the weak and exploited the people, and the crime will definitely become supporting the army and self-respecting, intending to rebel." ”

"But the lord is really wronged, obviously those corrupt officials and gentry are bullying the weak and exploiting the people, how can it become that the lord bullies the weak and exploits the people." Liu Qin still didn't understand the darkness of this world, and said unevenly.

"That's because the famous gentry of their sixteen states have united and collectively bribed the eunuchs of the imperial court, so many people are united together, and the material and financial resources are very powerful. And the eunuchs took the benefits, so they naturally had to do things, and it was not the first time they had done the black and white upside down, and they were very handy. Moreover, in recent years, the imperial court has been very short of silver, and His Majesty the Emperor has long coveted the sixteen states of Bashu, and with such a good opportunity this time, he will definitely take the opportunity to recover the domain. After Ji Xinyu finished speaking, he sighed again. He is also worried about his cheap father, it is indeed too difficult to deal with the gentry and eunuchs in the sixteen states of Bashu alone, and add an emperor behind him.

"Isn't it dangerous for the prince to write a letter this time to ask to enter the capital and face the saint?" Liu Qin suddenly realized the danger in it, and covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"His life is not in danger, he is the prince after all, and the court has to consider the thoughts of other princes, and will not do anything to him. He asked us to come to Qiongzhou Island to build a mansion, isn't it just to prevent trouble, but also to protect us. After Ji Xinyu finished speaking, his head was a little dizzy, he held the door frame at the door with one hand, and his head with the other hand to relieve it.

Liu Qin hurriedly ran over, held one of Ji Xinyu's arms and said, "Your Highness, are you okay, or you should go to bed and rest, don't be so willful as on the ship, we are all going to die in a hurry." You don't know, when the good doctor from the Heavenly King's Mansion gave you a pulse before yesterday, your pulse was gone, but it scared me to death, I thought I would never see His Royal Highness the Prince again, His Royal Highness was really a Bodhisattva blessing to wake up. As he spoke, he actually cried a little.

Ji Xinyu thought to himself, isn't it the blessing of the Bodhisattva, called Aiden Bodhisattva? Ji Xinyu thought of Aiden, shouted a few times in his heart and didn't respond, Ji Xinyu sighed, don't worry about it for the time being, let's recover my body first.

Later, he also recalled how the predecessor of this body died. A few days ago, the team of the Shu Wangfu arrived in Leizhou, and the guards found ships to cross the Qiongzhou Strait. Originally, the little man who had never seen the sea had to go to the bow of the boat to see the sea, and the little man who saw the sea for the first time was very excited, but he accidentally fell into the sea. Although he was rescued by the guards in the end, this little prince was also frightened and cold because of falling into the water, and he was not adapted to the water and soil, so he fell ill and died.

"Qin'er doesn't cry, I'm fine, where are we now? How did you get here after I fell overboard? Ji Xinyu just woke up now and didn't know where he was, so he could only ask.

When Liu Qin heard the young master's question, he hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, after you fell into the water, Steward He and General Chen were very anxious and asked people to hurry up and treat them, but although there were doctors in the team sent by the prince, there was no symptomatic medicine that could not be treated. There is no place to rest by the wharf, so General Chen can only carry you all the way to the island, and after walking for several miles to see this village, I realized that the boatman did not put us in Xiuying Port, the nearest port in Qiongzhou Prefecture, but in the fishing boat wharf Shashang Port in the east. It's more than fifty miles away from Qiongzhou City, and the boat is really bad. ”

After listening to it, Ji Xinyu recalled some details, and guessed that the boatman was probably afraid that his death would affect him. Xiuying Port is guarded by the government, and when he arrives, he may directly ask the government to arrest him, so he will leave his gang in the small fishing port nearby.

And there are a lot of people sent by the King of Shu, first of all, a capable housekeeper named He Xingwang, plus the maid Liuqin, as well as the shopkeeper, porter, coachman and so on. The palace guard department sent a general banner with fifty-six people in charge of the safety of the road, plus some stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths, doctors, porcelain masters, diners, professors, etc., adding up to almost twenty people. These people are waiting to buy a mansion in Qiongzhou City and need to renovate and expand the palace of the city king. The shopkeeper and the porter are the management talents who can be used when buying the industry.

All of them add up to more than a hundred. There are a lot of people, but here is a wilderness, far from Qiongzhou City, you have to rush over first.

Ji Xinyu looked at Liuqin, who was angry, smiled and said: "Don't be angry, it's okay, now that I'm in good health, let's rush to Qiongzhou City, it's just a few more days away, you take me out for a walk." ”

"But your body ......" Liu Qin looked at Ji Xinyu uncertainly.

Ji Xinyu put down his hand holding the door frame, moved his body and said, "Look, I'm much better, don't worry." Ji Xinyu stood at the door for a while, the dizziness had disappeared, and it was indeed much better.

"But ......" Liu Qin looked at Ji Xinyu, her face was indeed much better, and then she blushed and bowed her head and said, "Your Highness, you should change your clothes first." ”

Looking down at his underwear, Ji Xinyu shook his head with a wry smile, thinking, "I still haven't adapted to this body...... ”

Liu Qin took the clothes, the red tide on her face had not faded, and she lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, the slave maid is waiting for you to change your clothes." ”

I wanted to say that there was no need, it was very awkward for any normal man in his previous life to let a girl change her clothes, and he could do it himself. But the words came to his mouth and he swallowed, after all, in this world, he still has to adapt to the rules here, and it seems strange to behave too differently.

Purple embroidered round-necked robe, slender figure is slightly thin, fair skin, and a face is quite handsome. Ji Xinyu looked at the blurred figure in the bronze mirror, which can be regarded as a new acquaintance with his current self, and then asked Liu Qin to lead the way to the front yard.

All the way through, it was also desolate, and there were broken furniture left there in the corner of the front yard, and tall weeds everywhere, which also set off the originally beautiful courtyard a little hideous.

Ji Xinyu thought about Aiden's situation while walking, and followed Liu Qin all the way to the front hall, and a voice came from the front of him that interrupted Ji Xinyu's thoughts. "Your Royal Highness, you can wake up, you have just recovered from a serious illness, you should rest in bed, and you can't hurt your body again."

Ji Xinyu looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his early forties walking over, bowing down and talking. Seeing that the person who came was wearing a cyan round-necked kaftan and black thick-soled boots, his figure was slightly fat but also sturdy, and he looked even richer, Ji Xinyu knew that this person's name was He Xingwang, and he was the book of the Shu Wangfu in Bashu, and he had been in the palace for several years.

He was originally a down-and-out talent, but because he had no money and no way out, he repeatedly failed the exam, and when his life was unsustainable, he met Ji Xinyu's father. At that time, the king of Shu accepted him as a staff member of the palace, and then the king of Shu saw that he was clever and loyal to the palace, so he let him make the palace book, and this time he sent him to Qiongzhou City with Ji Xinyu as Ji Xinyu's housekeeper.

"Steward He, I feel much better, thank you Steward He for taking care of me these days." Ji Xinyu really wanted to thank him, if he didn't take care of him, it is estimated that the original little master is long gone, and he may not be able to get by.

He Xingwang was startled when he heard the prince open his mouth to thank him, and said gratefully and fearfully: "His Royal Highness the prince and the villain don't have to be polite, this is what the villain should do, how dare you say thank you." ”

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. When you arrive in Qiongzhou, don't call me His Royal Highness, call me young master, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble. I wonder where we should go next? What housekeeper can have a plan? Ji Xinyu asked.

"World ...... Young Master, Master Chen has already sent someone to explore the way. We are now in the southernmost village of Taosha, which is close to the sea, and has been uninhabited by pirates two years ago. To get to Qiongzhou City, you need to walk more than 20 miles south to find the ferry, cross the Nandu River, and then walk 10 miles north to get there. He Xingwang was obviously prepared, and immediately replied.
