Yulian, who had been working hard, raised her sleeves to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and the troubles in her mind always lingered. When he turned his head to look at the dog-like land behind him, he was both helpless and felt that the work of the past few days had been in vain.

He was only a few steps away from the ground, and when he looked up, he saw that the three of them were actually standing and staring at him. Yulian asked without thinking, "What's wrong?" ”

Hu Hu wanted to say that His Majesty the Emperor had come before, but was stopped by Steward Ye, and when Xiao Yin had just left, Steward Ye told Yulian that he had not let Emperor Xiao Yin come for a long time. Hu Hu had a hard time talking, so he had to give up. After all, how much my father explains, I have to listen to Steward Ye's words more for major matters.

Although Hongyi didn't think there was anything, he was still willing to listen to the old man's words. Sometimes when I look at Steward Ye, I always think of the old shopkeeper, who often has no good words on his lips, and will help Lu Xiaozhao say that he is not. But the old shopkeeper is more respectful than this Steward Ye from the bottom of his heart, and sometimes he always thinks about how such a good person can leave without saying hello.

He replied, "Sister, on your face." ”

Subconsciously stroked his cheeks, and found that the bits and pieces of dirt on his cheeks were pasted. Hongyi said as he walked over for fear of hitting the dust on Yulian's body, and brushed the dry soil from his black hair with his little hand. said: "So fast, I thought it would be a few days!" ”

Looking at the careless red-clothed Yulian, the mood will always be better, if it weren't for the little girl who didn't care about everything by her side, I really don't know how to be proud this year. He said, "If you make it look like this, you have to tidy it up tomorrow before you can sow seeds." ”

"It's very good, sister, look, it's fluffy and soft. If you give it to me, you might not be able to get it out in a month. Said with a smile.

Yulian showed a long-lost smile: "You, you can't do something with peace of mind." If you are put into a big family to be a maid, you are so lazy, you have to be beaten every day. ”

Grabbed her sister's slender arm and looked up and pretended to be aggrieved: "Sister is the best, she never dislikes me for being lazy." Hongyi has followed her sister all her life, okay. ”

has long been accustomed to sticky people in red, and this lazy girl will be pleasing to people. Yulian was really reluctant to teach a lesson, and said: "What is good with me in my life, every day is on the top of Hongshan." Hongyi, you are not young anymore, why don't you let Steward Ye find you a good family. ”

Yulian doesn't know how many times she said this, but Hongyi was always running away. Picking up the two hoes with a smile again, he carried the thin shoulders on his shoulders. Yulian shook her head helplessly and looked at the two of them and said, "Go back, it's not too early." I, He Hongyi, am also going back to Guanyin Temple, and I won't use it tomorrow. ”

Steward Ye didn't think there was anything, Hu Hu immediately knelt down after listening to the emperor's words and said: "Helper, Hu Hu needs to protect the safety of the helper, please agree to stay by your side to escort." ”

Without waiting for Steward Ye to speak, Yulian directly retorted: "What do you look like with me every day, and what kind of person I am, don't you still understand?" "The concubine of the first emperor can only stay in this Hongshan for the rest of her life. Protect me, I can't do anything in the mountains, do I need someone to protect me? ”

It's rare to see my sister angry, and Hongyi knows that my sister is really angry at this time.

Pulling the red clothes with one hand and walking very fast,

When he saw Hu Hu, he had to follow behind him and said: "Hu Hu, go back, no one can decide whether I live or die." Tell everyone in the Lotus Gang to withdraw to Xuzhou, it is enough to have red clothes here, and you don't need to protect them. Besides, it's been more than half a year, and no one has come to kill me. After speaking, he pulled the red clothes and walked quickly towards the direction of the Guanyin Temple.

Hu Hu, who stayed behind, asked, "Steward Ye helps her." ”

Lifting the cigarette gun, he took a deep breath, spit out a thick smoke ring and said: "Actually, Miss knows better than anyone else that there is no cure for death." ”

Ascending the steps of the Guanyin Temple, Yulian did not walk fast. The red clothes are bouncing with two hoes, and there is a kind of momentum of opening mountains and breaking rivers when encountering rivers. Singing a mountain song that I don't know where I learned it, Yulian's mood is so heavy. Once upon a time, she was also a carefree little girl like a red dress. Singing mountain songs and picking peach blossoms, Sister Xiuwen, a familiar friend in the boudoir, imagines what kind of person the future husband will be.

Sister Xiuwen often asks: "Yulian, when will your Zhang Xiucai come to see you?" ”

will always reply with a smile: "Sister Xiuwen, don't talk nonsense that Brother Zhang is ambitious all over the world, how can he have so much time to watch me if he needs to read and study literature." ”

The young general who suddenly broke into Taoyuan broke all the blind thoughts in his heart. What is love at first sight, Yulian has never regretted it. If you hadn't met Liu Zhixing, who fell into the mountains, you wouldn't have met many interesting people, Wen Xiaoming, who was like a brother and sister, would not have been red-clothed by your side, and there would be many friends who would never have met again in your life.

Stepping on the bluestone steps carelessly, I don't know what is going on in my mind all day long. The scenes that have happened always linger in the sea, and everyone sitting in the field today did not say anything, and Yulian did not ask.

The distance is not very far, how can you not recognize which one is His Majesty the current emperor, there is no past, but I don't want to make my heart more confused. He didn't know about the emperor's thoughts, and he had always been very clear in his heart since he gave away "The Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers". After that, the scenes that happened in the palace, although I didn't see them with my own eyes and heard about them, but the person in my heart had occupied the most important position.

The first edict of the third year of Zhengming set off a month-long court discussion, and the dignitaries of the court took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Soochow. So far, only a few unwilling officials have been dispatched to the war-torn Soochow, but many people in high positions have avoided talking about it.

A juvenile oral plan for governing Soochow is placed on the table. When the two prime ministers of the dynasty, as well as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the four ministries gathered. Xiao Yin pointed to the plan written by himself, which made the eyes of several central ministers shine.

Especially the book of the household, looking at the door of the law that makes money, he praises it. Although it is only a general plan, for the unanimous agreement of several scholars, Prime Minister Wang An is apprehensive, and this plan is indeed the best way to solve the current imperial court. On the one hand, the useless courtiers in the court were sent to Eastern Wu to make money, and on the other hand, the needs of the army's next southern expedition were solved.

Xiao Yin only sat on the side and waited closely for a few people to discuss the results, looking calm and waiting for the good news from Dongwu. The first good news from Soochow at the beginning of the year shook the dynasty

Wild. Liu Ce blockaded Jian'an City with an army of 300,000, and Li Shanhai controlled the Huhe River, so that there were no more reinforcements in Eastern Wu, and a steady stream of baggage was sent to the hinterland of Eastern Wu.

At the beginning of the year, 300,000 troops captured the city of Jian'an, which was accompanied by the capital of Dongwu, and half of Dongwu was already in the bag. For this reason, the Changfeng army far away in Nanjing blocked the attack of Nanchu again and again, and at the beginning of the year, a military report came from Nanjing, Chen Geng was about to gather 100,000 Changfeng troops in Nanjing, and as many as 200,000 border troops were about to have the first decisive battle with Nanchu.

This battle will determine the final foundation of Daliang and Southern Chu, and once Daliang wins the battle of Eastern Wu, there will be no trouble. The two sides were fighting at the same time, and Xiao Yin's pressure was extraordinary. The dispatch of the DPRK and China has reached the limit, attacking nearly 500,000 troops in Eastern Wu, and more than 200,000 troops including the Changfeng army in Nanjing. At the same time, nearly 800,000 troops were dispatched, reaching the most glorious era since the founding of the Great Liang.

The establishment of the Eight Great Arsenals solved the reserve baggage of the 800,000-strong army. Only the lack of grain and grass, this war almost exhausted the grain of Daliang for more than ten years. Now we can only hope for a good harvest next year to fill the gap.

Wang An kept frowning and said: "This matter must not be implemented, so that the wealth of the Eastern Wu country will be deprived one by one." The people of Eastern Wu have already suffered from the war, and once a group of hungry wolves appears, instead of solving the expedition wealth, it is likely to lead to the heart of Eastern Wu to protect the country. ”

Tobe Shangshu said: "Lord Wang, do you have a better way to fill the treasury in a short time. ”

Just as the two were arguing, Zhou Yingxiang, the secretary of the ministry, kept staring at this unknown Dongwu collection plan. There was no reply to the quarrel between the two, but he was curious about who this advice came from. Zhou Yingxiang is not the only one who is curious, but also Xun Sizhan. People who can have such opinions are unknown in the court.

On the other hand, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry wanted to meet this conspirator, although he only had a few words to talk about the reconstruction of Dongwu, and the words said that Lao Shangshu was in his heart. There is a paragraph in it: "There are many water towns in Dongwu, with different customs, and the north of Daliang is mostly dry and cold. If the Dongwu craft beam technology, the integration of each other should have another taste. ”

In the eyes of the Ministry of Rites, what is more important is the combination of craftsmanship, and it is not easy to completely integrate the two places with different etiquette and customs. Especially in the building food, it seems that it has nothing to do with etiquette, but it is actually the most important thing. Since ancient times, the people have not valued anyone who is the king, but also the four words of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Xiao Yin got up and said, "You Aiqing Dongwu has a plan, you have an opinion. ”

Since succeeding Shangshu, he can only be conscientious and conscientious, and he has done something big, and he first stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the merchant Duoli dared to pay for his whole family's life only with seven layers of profits. Being able to make good use of the merchants and reap the wealth of Soochow is far more smooth than plundering. ”

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Wang An became even more vigilant, and immediately stepped forward and retorted: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. Most businessmen are cold and thin people, and if they want to integrate Dongwu into the Liang, they need to conduct scientific examinations in the coming year, as long as the students of Dongwu agree with the Liang, they can be completely compatible with the Liang in terms of academic system. The best way for today is to teach the righteousness and let the people of Soochow go

What kind of country is Xie Daliang? If it is bound by the interests of merchants, Soochow will always be a place outside the state, please think twice. ”

Wang An's words are not right or wrong, if you want to govern Dongwu and make Dongwu the land of Daliang, the people must be the top priority. But if you want to solve the current situation of Daliang, it will only make Daliang's finances more difficult.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu walked out and said: "The old minister is very eager to meet this master, and there are many places worth emulating about the compatibility of etiquette between the two countries. Your Majesty can you let the old minister meet this great talent. ”

Xiao Yin smiled and said: "This person is not a person from the court, if Aiqing wants to see him, he can go to the Hanlin Academy to find Shuang Aiqing." ”

The mention of Shuangshang surprised a few people present, Shuangshang has been doing studies all his life, otherwise he would not have become the second Wenzong of Daliang after Zhou Wen. When it comes to learning, even Zhou Yingxiang, who was born in Zhou, admires this old gentleman from the bottom of his heart, but he can't believe that Shuangshang can come up with such a strategy.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu stepped forward and asked, "Could it be that this is a recommendation from two adults?" ”

I saw Xiao Yin smile and said: "Shuangqing teaches a good student, although it is only a general strategy. I hope that you can consult well and come up with a complete solution. ”
