Chapter 131: There are a lot of handsome scholars

Zhao Ximei was very helpless about the emperor's indifferent attitude, he had already said the consequences, but the emperor still felt that it was a big fuss.

He didn't continue to persuade, but changed his way and said: "Since the emperor doesn't care about this, the minister thinks that he can prepare another hand to disrupt the line of sight and make it impossible for others to find out the truth of this matter." ”

"What are you going to do?" Liang Jia asked.

"We took advantage of King Qing's withdrawal from the army to hold a meeting to reward meritorious soldiers, and put the credit for the assassination of those generals under King Qing on the head of Jinyiwei, so that others would not be able to say it."

"That's okay too." Liang Jia doesn't care about this.

Zhao Ximei let out a sigh of relief, left, and began to arrange the reward for the soldiers.

Zhao Qiang returned to Jishui County with his soldiers, and the people who left Jishui County also went back, and the vanguard army had caught up with King Qing's retreating army, and was falling far away to see where they retreated.

According to Zhao Ximei's prediction, King Qing's army would retreat to Mishan Pass at the junction of Guizhou Province and Nanhu Province, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was also the key point to hold the passage into Guizhou.

How to break through the Mishan Pass, that is what Zhao Ximei has to consider.

However, after a few days of getting along, Liang Jia felt that it was a bit of a waste of talent to let Zhao Ximei quell the rebellion here. When the war here takes a turn for the better, find an opportunity to transfer him to the capital to listen to it.

Before coming here, Liang Jia still took King Qing's rebellion very seriously. But when he really got here, after listening to Zhao Ximei's analysis and personally learning about King Qing, Liang Jia found that King Qing's rebellion was not as important as he imagined.

The land of the three provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan and Guizhou was not a rich province in the first place, with many mountains, little arable land, mixed ethnic minorities, and many internal problems.

So, in Zhao Ximei's words, that is to drag, drag them to death.

Two days later, the meeting to reward the meritorious was held in the open space of the yamen of the prefect of Hengshui County. Those who come are all selected and really meritorious people, and it is difficult to cheat.

Liang Jia personally attended and gave the meritorious people a bounty with saffron, which gave a good wave of prestige.

Among them, several meritorious generals such as Zhao Qiang were rewarded, and while they were promoted, they were also awarded several titles.

The highlight is naturally to reward Hengshui Jinyiwei for his efforts in assassinating the generals under King Qing this time. How did Liao Yisan, a hundred households of Hengshui Jinyi Wei, not expect that this splashing credit would fall on his head, and when he was named the man of Jishui County, Jinyi Wei Qianhu, his whole person was immersed in incomparable joy.

At the same time, the other ordinary soldiers of Hengshui Jinyi Wei were all promoted, and each of them was given a bounty of twenty taels, which was not a generous reward.

Of course, before receiving the credit, Ying Yue had already talked to them on behalf of Liang Jia. Even if the assassination was on their heads this time, they just accepted the reward with peace of mind, and they were not allowed to talk nonsense when they returned. Anyway, no matter who asks, the assassination is what they do.

Liang Jia waited in Hengshui City for three days, and Rourou and Xiao Chunzi finally arrived.

The meat was fine, and it looked a little tired, and Xiao Chunzi's whole body lost weight, and she saw Liang Jia fall directly to the ground and cry.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Slaves and maids should be killed, you should execute slaves and maids......"

Xiao Chunzi kept crying about her mistakes, a handful of snot and tears, crying very miserably.

"Alright, get up, I didn't say I was going to put you to death." Liang Jia was annoyed by hearing this, and yelled angrily.

Koharuko cried and stood up, standing aside to wipe her tears.

Rourou didn't do it like Koharuko, but smiled and apologized to Liang Jia. Liang Jia reprimanded her and reprimanded her for her reckless behavior of directly killing Li Xiaogu with a cane.

In response to Liang Jia's reprimand, she immediately made an expression that I was wrong, but as soon as Liang Jia's voice stopped, she immediately smiled.

The people also waited, and Liang Jia immediately asked Ying Yue to arrange to leave Hengshui and go to Guangling.

It is estimated that there will not be any large-scale battles for a period of time, and Zhao Ximei has also begun to carry out military reform, and the matter here can come to an end. After Liang Jia prepared to go to Guangling with Yueyue for a walk, he turned back to Shandong.

Compared with the military reform, the situation in Shandong still worries Liang Jia even more. Besides, he had to figure out what that Holy Fire Cult was. Caught himself, tortured himself, he couldn't just leave it at that.

In the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, the autumn tigers were still raging, and Rourou and Xiaochunzi traveled a long way to Hengshui, and before they had time to repair, they took a boat to Guangling on the second day with Liang Jia and Yingyue.

The speed of the boat is much faster, and you can enjoy a lot of scenery along the way.

Playing chess, drinking tea, and practicing with them behind Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu, this day is not boring.

After about half a month's journey, the group finally arrived in Guangling.

Half a month has passed, the autumn tiger has ended, and the weather is much cooler. Invite Yue waited outside the city with the army, while Liang Jia took Rourou, Xiaoxue Xiaoyu, Xiaochunzi and others into Guangling City first.

Guangling City is worthy of being the first prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River, the city wall is tall, the area is even more broad, and there are many wooden buildings with five or six storeys in the city.

Liang Jia can often see high-rise buildings in the capital, but after leaving the capital, he rarely sees them, except for some towers, there are few buildings higher than four stories in other places. But here in Guangling, you can see a lot.

The streets are bustling with people, shops, and all sorts of beautifully decorated carriages, as well as many richly dressed scholars and merchants.

It is worthy of being the first city of economic prosperity in the Great Liang Kingdom, which really makes Liang Jia admire.

After shopping for two streets, Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu bought a bunch of delicious food, and the meat was even brighter, and there were many more handsome scholars here than in the capital.

"Your Majesty, why don't you build the East Factory here?" Flesh laughed.

"You're thinking beautifully. Don't trouble the talents of my Great Liang Country. Liang Jia scolded with a smile.

"My heart is about to stop beating, so many handsome little scholars." As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his mouth with his chubby hands, looking cold and dead.

After walking around, I saw many officials' sedan chairs hurrying towards the outside of the city, probably to greet Ying Yue, the minister.

Liang Jia and the others also went shopping, found a restaurant to eat, and tasted the food of Jiangnan.

With the painful lesson of the last time, Koharuko is now a frightened bird. When eating, he was like an owl, patrolling around with a pair of eyes open, as long as someone approached this table, he was immediately ready to attack, stretched out his hand to stop the person, let him go aside, even if he passed by, he also went around, and was not allowed to approach Liang Jia's table.

When this kind of behavior encounters ordinary people, people don't want to do much and let it go, but if they meet a person with a head and a face on the Guangling side, it is estimated that it will cause trouble.
