As night fell, under the flickering red candles, Lu Ning was looking at the map on the table.

Pointing to Qizhou and Yizhou, he said: "These two states, together with Yanzhou, echo each other, and the eastern states are all within their barriers. ”

There is the Yellow River in the north, Qi, Yi and Yan three states, which hold the entire Shandong Peninsula.

The Yellow River is dangerous, and now there are only three pontoon bridges made of giant boats and iron chains to connect the north and south, and these three pontoon bridges are all in Henan and Shanxi in later generations.

Princess Yongning bowed slightly.

On the wedding night, the couple stayed up all night, studying political affairs.

"I am going to build a southern camp in Qizhou and a northern camp in Yizhou, so that Zhang Yanqing will recruit envoys for the southern camp and Gao Huaide will recruit envoys for the northern camp, but how about the history of Qizhou and Yizhou and the selection of literati?"

Princess Yongning bowed her head again.

Lu Ning pondered and said: "The treatment of soldiers and generals must be raised, but like the former Tang Dynasty, the military and government are separated, so Zhang Yanqing and Gao Huaide can concentrate on studying the military, which is also a good thing, too much government affairs, people will change." ”

Princess Yongning bowed her head again.

Lu Ning looked at her helplessly, "Why don't you tell me your opinion?" Some of my thoughts, I myself feel are too radical and too advanced. ”

Princess Yongning said lightly: "I'm pondering what you said, and there are some things I don't understand." ”

Lu Ning nodded and said: "Also, when it is a little stable, I am going to implement the one-stop tax law of the East China Sea in Qilu, I am afraid of encountering obstacles from large households, but if I don't do it early, the more stable the world is, the more difficult it will be." pondering and saying: "It's not that I'm radical, this change can not only quickly buy the hearts of the people at the bottom, but also make taxes increase significantly, and reduce the trouble of the homeless. ”

There are still some things that Lu Ning did not say, the one-stop law, to a certain extent, can inhibit land annexation, and the land annexation is serious, and the Ding tax makes a large number of displaced people flee, which is the root cause of the collapse of the vicious circle in the later part of almost every dynasty.

Princess Yongning suddenly said: "King Qi is good, King Qi is wonderful, King Qi is here, there is no land and no food!" Are you going to incite the poor people of the world to rebel?!"

Lu Ning coughed, there were a lot of things he was thinking about just now, thinking of a dragon method, how to make the people at the bottom quickly know its benefits, he couldn't help but think of this ballad, but slightly changed.

"If the country wants to be truly peaceful and stable, this law must be implemented!" Lu Ning insisted on this.

Outside, there was a sudden rooster crow, and when I looked up, through the window paper, it seemed that the sky had turned white.

"Humph!" Princess Yongning suddenly turned around and left.

Lu Ning was stunned, as if she had been in this mood for a while, otherwise with her cleverness and wit, she would not laugh at her ballad, but would know the profound meaning of it.

I vaguely knew why she was angry, but ......

"Your beautiful concubine, is she really beautiful? These two days are due, and I want to see! Before walking out of the house, Princess Yongning snorted coldly.

Lu Ning was speechless, isn't this wronged, he hasn't touched anyone, has he?

I really don't dislike you.

Lu Ning's heart was faintly touched, Princess Yongning, what a high-minded and arrogant person? But I was made by myself, and suddenly I cared about my appearance, and when I thought about it, I was a little ashamed of her.

……

The official road outside Yanzhou City, the green willows are still around.

Hearing that her mother and others had arrived dozens of miles away, Lu Ning was busy greeting her, but in the carriage next to the horse, there was Princess Yongning, who had not been informed of her, but she heard the news and led a large number of people out of the city, and moreover, a few miles more than Lu Ning greeted him in the distance, Lu Ning couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to chase after her.

At this time, it was more than ten miles away from Yanzhou, and the sound of tinkling city construction was no longer audible.

After more than a month, the construction project of Yanzhou City has come to an end, and the palace of Qi has begun to see scale.

There are a lot of people requisitioned this time, so the progress is extremely fast, and Lu Ning pays for it himself.

At first, Princess Yongning said that she borrowed money from Lu Ning, but she didn't want to, the palace built by Princess Yongning turned out to be the palace of Qi, and this money was naturally borrowed but not repaid.

Looking at Yanzhou City, where the outline can still be seen in the distance, Lu Ning is also pondering, the most important thing in Qilu is to recuperate and recuperate so that he can stand firm, but the one-stop tax law must be carried out now, and if the stubborn disease of Ding tax is not eradicated, the displaced people will never die.

If you don't push it now, after a long time, there will be more officials and big households in Qilu who are truly loyal to you, and when the time comes, you will really shake your foundation if you push it again and touch their interests.

Even if it is a little turbulent now, it is nothing more than the new class replacing the old, or the same sentence, a big break.

While pondering, a fast horse came from afar in front of him, and immediately sentry probed and rolled down the horse, knelt down on one knee, and said in his mouth: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Princess Qi, the old lady and others have arrived ten miles away!" ”

Before Lu Ning could speak, Princess Yongning's Che Luan had already started slowly.

Lu Ning had no choice but to ride his horse forward.

……

A fleet of carriages and horses, and Lu Ning and Princess Yongning's cars converged on this wide official road, Princess Yongning got out of the car, and inquired about the old lady's car and knelt down and cried, "Mother, mother, Yongning kowtowed to you!" ”

When Li Shi understood who was kneeling in front of the car, he jumped out of the car in a panic and quickly helped Princess Yongning, Princess Yongning just cried, and even plunged into the arms of the old lady, and the old lady also shed tears, stroked Princess Yongning's back and asked, what happened to the child? What are you crying about?

Lu Ning, who had also dismounted, was immediately put aside.

Lu Ning's head was big, and then he saw Yongning crying, and he went all the way with his mother, got into her car, and saw Cheluan turn around and went in the direction of Yanzhou.

I was stunned for a while, and when I turned around, I saw the big peach and the little peach beside me, and the two little girls had red eyes, and they both whispered: "Master......"

This, it seems that the murder weapon is becoming more and more amazing, Lu Ning smiled, this is good, it means that the nutrition can keep up.

Gan Shi and You Wuniang stood beside the carriage, Lu Ning walked over quickly, looked at the two beauties, said a thousand words, and finally sighed, "Political marriage, I am also helpless." ”

At the time of the wedding, the fast horse had already galloped to deliver a message to the old mother and others, and they should have known that they were on the way.

"What are the words of the lord, the slave is happy for the lord all the way!" Gan smiled, but there was a faint hint of uneasiness in her beautiful eyes, after all, she didn't know what the princess's temperament was, whether it was difficult to get along with, and whether she would humiliate her.

You Wuniang is a ghost, she had already sneaked a glimpse just now, that Princess Yongning, her appearance is mediocre, she just looks noble, but this is great news.

Lu Ning listened to Gan's words, and saw the uneasiness in Gan's eyes again, and said with a smile: "If you are still a slave, I will issue an edict tomorrow to register you as the lady of Dongshang Palace......" and looked at You Wuniang, "Book you as the lady of Xishang Palace." ”

Gan and You Wuniang were both stunned, and then You Wuniang realized, yes, yes, the lord, now he is just like the lord of this land of Qilu, but he no longer needs any Laoshizi Emperor, the lord of the country, canonized any edict, the lord, can already be decided in a word.

In fact, Lu Ning is also pondering, according to the Tang system, the prince can have two concubines to be a widow, and he is a five-grade edict, but his current King of Qi is actually the lord of Qilu who has not been called the emperor, what else is there to be a widow? Do you still want to be canonized by Lord Tang?

The harem etiquette system, you can decide by yourself now.

However, in the matter of Feng Gan's family and You Wuniang's east and Xishanggong ladies, he could write a letter to the Tang lord, and send the letter to Jinling with his own explanation of being the king in Qilu.

In terms of name, he still has to maintain a relationship with the Tang Lord, and if the Tang Lord has any difficulties in the future, he will still help him if he can help him.

Over there, You Wuniang listened to Lu Ningfeng's words from Mrs. Xishang Palace, her eyebrows were already fluttering, and she immediately bowed down, and said delicately: "Wu'er, the concubine is grateful to His Royal Highness, and the slave is grateful to the lord!" ”

Gan Shi hesitated a little and asked, "Where is the princess......?"

Lu Ning smiled: "I'll talk to her, don't worry, she's very reasonable." "According to the original nature, what do you care about her? However, now that I think about it, I am already the king of Qi, and I am the lord of the land of Qilu from now on, but I can't be the same as in the past, at least when it should be restricted, Yongning is my wife, she is the princess, and there are many maids here who can hear themselves talking, and the respect for Yongning is also respect for themselves.

He said to Gan's again: "Erlang's side is very smooth, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Soon after becoming king, Lu Ning ordered Zhaoyuanwei to be set up in Luofeng Town between Laizhou and Dengzhou, and appointed Gan Erlang as the undertaker of Zhaoyuanwei to take care of all the affairs of Zhaoyuanwei for the Qi Palace.

Zhao Yuanwei encircled a large piece of land, and several nearby mountains were encircled, all of which were the private property of the king of Qi, and there were few residents in that land, and those who were willing to migrate away would be placed in other places.

Gan Erlang led some migrants from the East China Sea, as well as migrants from Haizhou and Chuzhou, to Zhaoyuanwei.

The immigrants from Haizhou and Chuzhou, most of them, are the relatives of Haizhou Chuzhou who followed Lu Ning on the expedition, and there are also many poor villagers and peasants who joined the immigrant army after seeing the notice.

The migratory army has several batches, and now the earliest one is afraid that it is almost time to recruit Yuanwei.

As for Gan Erlang, he arrived two days ago and is handling preliminary matters.

Hearing Lu Ning talk about the second brother, Gan gently bowed his head, "Yes, thank you for the favor of the lord to him, but the title of Mrs. Shanggong ......"

Over there, You Wuniang's snow-white little hand painted with Kodan was already in Lagan's skirt, muttering in a low voice, "Don't worry about your brother, don't thank you quickly, what are you doing slowly!" The anxious and staring at the Gan family's hatred of iron and steel, as if, for fear of being implicated by the Gan family, the title of Mrs. Shanggong ran away.

Seeing Lu Ning laughing dumbly, his mood suddenly improved.
