Chapter 517: Work hard

Xiao Rui and Xiao Feng fist each other, you come and go, it is not only a contest of fists and feet, but also a kind of revenge!

Xiao Rui's mother was secretly poisoned to death by Concubine Mu and Huang Qilin. And Xiao Feng thought that the death of his mother and concubine must have been the hand of Xiao Rui, so although the two were brothers, they were also enemies.

Therefore, under the fist and palm confrontation, it is the most ferocious hard to see whose bones are hard, and who can endure it!

Xiao Feng's palm technique was very violent, hitting Xiao Rui's fist or body, it was like being pumped by a steel plate.

Of course, this is not the most worried, what worries Xiao Rui the most is that Xiao Feng will not roar and shout: "Look at me descending the dragon eighteen palms!" ”

If this is really the trick, Xiao Rui can only avoid its edge.

As far as Xiao Feng is concerned, Xiao Rui's fists are very hard and tricky. Collapse fist pays attention to a collapse word, the power is huge, and with Xiao Rui's elbow from time to time, it is really too ruthless. Several times he almost pressed against his chest, but he blocked it with his palm.

The two of them were inseparable, and they were scarred until the end, but they didn't give up, and finally they were tired and weak, and they lost their strength before they were taken away.

Li Yuanfang took off his shirt for Xiao Rui, took out the bruise damage potion configured by Hua Tuo, and applied it to Xiao Rui, otherwise after tomorrow, the whole body would be red and blue, and some muscles would be red and swollen at this time.

"Your Highness, you and King Duan are evenly matched, and you still fight like this until you are exhausted, isn't this asking for hardship?" Li Yuanfang said helplessly.

Xiao Rui snorted: "You have to fight if you find trouble, whoever retreats will lose." After returning to Beijing, I continued to let Hua Tuo perform acupuncture on me to stimulate my potential, a big course of treatment every three years, and today is the last year. ”

Thinking of the pain of Hua Tuo's needle, Xiao Rui couldn't help but shudder, but there was no way, he practiced martial arts late, and his roots and bones had already been formed, so he had to rely on Hua Tuo's acupuncture and five fowl drama to temper his body in order to quickly improve his cultivation.

Xiao Rui made up his mind that the next time he competed with Xiao Feng, he must teach him to be a good man!

……

In the next few days, Xiao Rui and Xiao Feng did not intersect again.

Soon, Emperor Xia sent someone to send a holy decree, which highly praised the merits of the Zhao army this time, and arranged for Chang Shenghou to continue to garrison Qijiang County to prevent the people of Zhao from rising up. At the same time, he ordered Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan to form a water military camp, and the imperial court would give full support.

At the same time, His Majesty also asked the Ministry of Officials and Households to send officials to come, and now the fourteen counties east of the Qijiang River are included in the territory of Great Xia, and it is far from enough to rely on the deterrence of the army alone, and it is also necessary to send officials to govern, and win over the original officials, and also count the population, grain, grass, land, etc., the task is arduous.

If you want to completely incorporate the fourteen counties into the territory of Great Xia, it will take a certain amount of time, and deterrence and co-optation will coexist.

At the end of the holy decree, the crown prince and Duanwang were ordered to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and Duanwang's soldiers and horses were temporarily in charge of Han Ming, the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Xiao Rui immediately received the order, Xiao Feng's face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't dare to protest against disobedience, so he could only go back to Kyoto first. And he has already made up his mind, even if he returns to Kyoto, he must try his best to leave, he can't stay in Kyoto, he must come out and develop his own power!

And when they received the commandment, they began to act according to the will.

Xiao Rui let Gan Ning stay, and now the imperial court fully supports the formation of the sailor battalion, Gan Ning is proficient in water warfare, and Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan has asked Xiao Rui for this person.

As for the others, they returned to Beijing with Xiao Rui.

It should be mentioned that the day after the holy decree came, Xiao Feng took people back to Beijing in advance, but only resigned to the Marquis of Chang Sheng and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and did not tell Xiao Rui. Obviously, he didn't dare to go with Xiao Rui, so as to avoid Xiao Rui's murderous intentions, he directly chopped him up.

After Xiao Rui knew, Xiao Feng had been gone for more than an hour, and he only left with more than 20 guards in simple disguises, and he might not be able to catch up if he wanted to chase and kill, so Xiao Rui gave up.

Subsequently, Xiao Rui ordered Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei, Yang Youji and others to prepare their bags, and the next day they also said goodbye to the two Hou Ye, Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin, and the group began to return to Beijing.

This time, the speed of returning to Beijing is much slower, and there is no need to rush when you come. And on the way back, Xiao Rui instantly took a look at the progress of the work of clearing the grain fields in the state capitals, not to mention, during the period when Xiao Rui was in a hurry, he actually copied five or six officials from the state capitals by the way, and earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

More than half a month later, during the frost solar term, Xiao Rui and his party finally saw the huge Kyoto city. When you enter the land of Gyeonggi, you will be greeted by the scenery of the autumn harvest.

Solar Term Song Cloud:

"Frost begins to fall before and after the frost falls, and some places are busy sowing wheat.

Early sowing wheat is quickly checked and supplemented to ensure that the seedlings are all full and strong.

Glutinous rice is being harvested at this festival, and sweet potatoes are cut and dried and freshly stored.

The late autumn harvest is carried out everywhere, and the firewood and grass are returned to the stacks and the grain is returned to the warehouse. ”

During this time, the farmers were the busiest, and to Xiao Rui's delight, the people of Gyeonggi not only cultivated wheat, but also sowed potatoes and corn.

Xiao He devised a relatively good strategy to persuade the people of Gyeonggi to grow corn and potatoes in the barren land. For this kind of fresh crop, the people are not willing to plant it at all, but Xiao He's strategy is very good, and it is actually very simple.

If the people planted corn and potatoes, regardless of whether there was a harvest in the coming year, the Zhan Shifu would contribute to the subsidy to ensure that the people received no less than the silver in previous years.

If there is a harvest of corn and potatoes, the Zhan Shifu will buy it back at a price not lower than that of wheat, and a certain amount of subsidies will be provided.

This kind of policy ensures that the people are foolproof, and it is more suitable than planting wheat, after all, it is a barren area, and planting wheat will definitely have a harvest? So growing corn and potatoes is a sure thing. Moreover, this is still the policy of the Zhan Shifu, and the people are naturally willing to believe it.

What's more, many people no longer grow wheat in the fertile fields, but only corn and potatoes.

In addition to the common people, the land and imperial fields of the family were also planted with corn and potatoes, and with the cultivation of wheat, multiple structures were cultivated.

With the cultivation of corn and potatoes in full swing in Gyeonggi, a large number of seeds can be harvested in the coming year, which can be spread all over the world. And as long as the yield of potatoes and corn in the coming year is gratifying, so that the people see hope, there is no need to sell it, so that the people will directly know the benefits of potatoes and corn, and then the people will spread it by word of mouth, and it will inevitably be promoted to the world.

......

Xiao Rui entered the city full of hope for the future.

This time, Xiao Rui's return to the city was very low-key, and there was no crowd like the last time he came back from Qi State. In fact, Xiao Rui's credit this time was even greater than going to Qi State, and he directly killed Emperor Zhao, but unfortunately, Zhao Guo would not admit it.

The patrol battalion that rushed to hear the news opened the way and escorted Xiao Rui back to the palace. Entering the palace to face the saint, Emperor Xia was reviewing the folds in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, and heard that the prince was back, so he was busy calling him into the palace.

Xiao Rui entered the hall and bowed: "Son-in-law Xiao Rui, meet my father." ”

Emperor Xia saw that although he was in the dust, he became more and more like a commander, and then waved his hand and smiled: "It's hard to travel, sit down and rest." ”

Xiao Rui nodded and sat back on his throne obediently.

Yan Xiaoxiao brought tea, and she didn't dare to be rude, but her eyes always peeked at Xiao Rui. I haven't seen His Highness for more than two months, and His Highness is a little tanned, but he is more handsome.

Xiao Rui took the tea, and his fingers pouted his small jade hand, which was regarded as a greeting. But Yan Xiaoxiao's heart was so frightened that she almost couldn't control her excitement.

After drinking tea, Xiao Rui briefly talked about the situation in the imperial capital of Zhao State, and had told His Majesty in detail through letters before, but Emperor Xia still had a lot of things he wanted to ask in person.

Especially the yellow unicorn.

"This British duke even deceived me, and it was really the Tsukasa Tiger of the year. This time you almost planted it in his hands, it's a blessing to be able to escape death, and next time you may not have such a good opportunity, this is also resentful. "Although Emperor Xia is excellent at planning and strategizing, he will eventually encounter variables. On Xiao Rui's trip to Zhao Guo this time, Huang Qilin was the biggest variable, almost making Xiao Rui overturn in the gutter.

Xiao Rui smiled: "It's still careless, in fact, I should have thought that there would be a problem when I had passed through the Qijiang River." If you are careful, you can avoid it altogether. ”

Emperor Xia nodded, and said: "King Duan came back a few days earlier, this time he personally led the troops to fight and won the five counties, and his military achievements were outstanding, and he won my heart." When he met me, he also mentioned Huang Qilin, and scolded Huang Qilin for deceiving the king, hoping that I could issue an order to list Huang Qilin as a traitor and be wanted and arrested. ”

The corners of Xiao Rui's mouth twitched, Xiao Feng would really kill his relatives in righteousness, so that he would not be able to defeat him. Forget it, even the general doesn't have a big impact on him, at most it's lively. As His Majesty said, Xiao Feng's credit this time is indeed very great, and I don't know how His Majesty will reward him.

"King Duan is really righteous and kills his relatives, and he has justice in his heart." Xiao Rui squeezed two sentences.

How smart the Xia Emperor is, of course, he heard the meaning of Xiao Rui's words, so he smiled and said, "Last time you came back from Qi Country, I gave you three days off, and this time it's the same, go back and have a good rest." ”

"Erchen understands, Erchen retires." Xiao Rui bowed his hand and bowed, and then withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Back in the East Palace, the two ladies were already looking forward to it.

Xiao Rui is deeply sorry, since he got married, he has gone to Qi and Zhao again, and it is really not right to let the two ladies stay alone in the empty room.

I am also a big boss, so I have to work hard and have an heir as soon as possible, so that the position of the prince can sit firmly.

Speaking of this, Xiao Rui began to think.

He is also very diligent, excluding the time of Qi and Zhao, he also worked hard, why didn't his stomach react?

Shaking his head, Xiao Rui didn't dare to make up for it, because his brain made up for himself.

"Your Highness is back!" Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue greeted them, their faces full of joy.

Xiao Rui gave the two girls a big hug, then pulled them back to the East Palace, came to the living room and sat down, and Lu Pheasant brought eight treasure tea.

Nima... It's Babao tea again!

Xiao Rui has been honest for a while, and he hasn't even touched a woman's hand... Ahem... At most, he touched Azhu's hand, but he really didn't do other bad things, and he was about to suffocate. Wouldn't it be enough to drink this tea again! This woman definitely did it on purpose!

So he glared at Lu Pheasant fiercely, Lu Pheasant was still a cold fan, so he didn't see it, so Xiao Rui's eyes were ineffective.

"Your Highness, I heard that you killed Emperor Zhao?" Zhuge Liuying said excitedly.

Xiao Rui nodded, and immediately told about his situation in the imperial capital of Zhao State, although it was very simple to say, but the third girl knew that the plot was twists and turns and dangerous when she heard the reverie in her ears.

In this way, Xiao Rui became a storyteller, telling the story of this period of time.
