Approaching the end of the year, the city of Jidu is more lively.

Whether it is in the city or in the market outside the city, the flow of people is crowded, and the shouting of merchants is constant.

This year, the battle of Faqi launched by the Yan State in the spring and summer, because of the short time, had a very small impact on the people of the Yan State. It was only after the end of the war that some ripples appeared.

In the middle of the month, in the city of Jidu, Sufu.

Although the weather outside was bitterly cold, it was steaming in the study room of Sufu.

Today's earthen heating equipment has long been popularized to every household in Yan Kingdom.

Su Yuan, who served as the deputy general of Gaotang City in Jibei County, had already taken off his armor and changed into a set of civilian clothes.

At this time, Su Yuan and his father Su Yu were in the study, sitting at the desk, discussing something.

Approaching the end of the year, Su Yuan was ordered by Liu Shou, the general of the Gao Tang Dynasty, to return to Jidu on official business.

This is also just the time to prepare for the New Year with his family, and then return to Gaotang.

Su Yuan is seven or eight years older than Ji Kang, and he is twenty-five or sixteen years old this year.

is already dignified, and because of years of martial arts training, the burly figure is more symmetrical.

And the belly is even more skilled, and in the past two years, it has also mixed well in the court of Yanguo, and it does not show old age at all.

Although he is almost fifty years old, he looks like he is about forty years old at most.

Su belly was originally from a large family, and when he was young, he also traveled around the world and worked hard for the future.

But after coming to Yan Kingdom, he was valued by three generations of kings, and the main lineage of the Su clan also migrated to Yan Kingdom.

Especially his youngest daughter Su Ya, who is now the queen of Yan/

His son Su Yuan was also promoted to major general because of his military exploits, and his future was also promising.

For many of the declining gate lords and nobles in the Yan Kingdom, Su Yu is still extremely satisfied with the current status quo.

"Father, Gao Tang can also be said to be a big city in Jibei County. My Su family's shop can also be opened in Gaotang. has his son Gao Tang in office, and he can also take care of it. ”

Su Yuan said to his father on the other side.

Because according to the current law system of Yan State, each family can only have a maximum of 2,000 mu of land, and it cannot be transferred privately.

As a result, many of Yan Guoda's families either split up, or opened shops and started trading.

These behaviors have helped promote the development of commerce in the entire Yan Kingdom.

Ji Kang is also optimistic about this.

The same is true for the Su family, since you can't invest in land, let's invest in business! Not to mention that there are several industries in the city of Jidu that are very prosperous, even in other counties of Yan Kingdom, they also have their own industries.

After listening to his son Su Yuan's words, Su Yuan shook his head.

"My son, the king attaches great importance to business. Although it is forbidden for the courtiers to invest in business, you must remember that you must not rely on the power in your hands to develop your family's estate. ”

"My Su clan should go with the flow when developing their own family industry. Otherwise, it will arouse the envy of others. In this case, it will not only be bad for our family, but it will also have an impact on the queen's reputation! ”

"Our Su family must take a long-term view, not only for the sake of our own family, but also for the sake of your sister Su Ya and even your nephew Ji Hua! This is the long-term foundation of my Su clan! ”

After listening to his father's words, Su Yuan understood.

"The father sees it, and the son remembers it."

Su Yuan was also very relieved to see his son like this, and said to Su Yuan:

"Yuan'er, money is a different number for a family like ours. After my Su clan migrated to the Yan Kingdom, it was because of the grace of the three generations of kings of the Yan Kingdom to my Su family. ”

"Now, your sister Su Ya is the queen of Yan, and your nephew Ji Hua is the eldest son of my king. At present, my Su clan can prosper so much, relying on the power of the king and queen, and even your nephew! ”

Speaking of this, Su Yu looked at his son Su Yuan and said cautiously:

"You must remember that my Su clan is not the same small clan as in the past, but a relative of the Yan royal family. The future of the Su clan is already tied to the Yan royal family. ”

"As long as your sister and nephew's status in the palace is stable, no one will be able to shake the glory and wealth of my Su clan in the future. What is this based on? It is by virtue of the protection of my king and queen, and by virtue of the king's affection for my Su family. ”

"The most important thing is that in the future, Ji Hua, the son of your sister Su Ya, will be the king of a country if nothing else. And you must be the uncle of the king's country, and my Su clan will be even more brilliant. ”

"If I lose the king's protection, I lose the king's affection for my Su family. Don't talk about my Su family's many industries, even if you are rich and rival the country, you can also go away once and no longer exist. Remember, remember! ”

Su Yuan's words made Su Yuan think of many gate lords who had disappeared in Yan Country in the past few years.

Su Yuan couldn't help but ponder, and after a while, nodded to his father.

Katsukomi stood up and looked out through the glass of the window.

I saw that outside the window, there were snowflakes falling again at this time.

As the saying goes, "Ruixue is a good year". It seems that next year's harvest in my Yan country is very good. ”

Su Yuan also stood up, and like his father, Su Yuan, looked at the scattered snowflakes falling outside the window.

"Father, now Qi is also unified by my Yan Kingdom. In this year, according to the practice of our Yan country, we will reclaim land, build canals and pave roads. The king exempted the people of Qi from paying taxes this year, and next year it will only collect 10%. ”

"Take my Gaotang City as an example, the people's life is very good now. Father, Qi Di is already rich, no matter how kind my king is to the people, their lives do not have to be bad for the people of Jidu. ”

Su Yuan laughed and said to Su Yuan:

"My king has a strategy in his heart and a long-term vision. Don't say this year, it's next year, the life of the people of Qidi will be better. In this way, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's hearts will be completely oriented to our country. ”

Su Yuan didn't know what he remembered, and whispered to his father:

"Father, son heard in Gaotang that many royal relatives and even Haoqiang who moved to Liao have disappeared a lot by my king, oh no. Father, is there such a thing? ”

When Su Yuan heard this, he turned around and said to Su Yuan in a very stern tone:

"How can you talk nonsense about these rumors? Remember, whoever says this before you, he who thinks in his heart, will not be disturbed by good intentions. Thou shalt immediately lock them up and interrogate them, and thou shalt not make any mistake. ”

"Yuan'er, you are now the deputy general of Gao Tang City, and in terms of Qi Di, you can be regarded as a high-ranking person. Coupled with your identity, it is even more sensitive. Such words must never come out of your mouth to outsiders. Even if you come back, you can't say, do you understand? ”

Su Yuan was frightened, and hurriedly said to Su Yuan: "Father, son knows." ”
