"You are all highly respected people in Yongcheng, this king has just arrived, and I will ask you for a lot of help in the future." Guo Qi said respectfully to a few people present.

Several old men didn't dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly got up and said, "The prince is serious, what does the prince have to say."

"Sit down, everybody!" After everyone sat down, Guo Qi continued: "Yongzhou is poor, sparsely populated, this king heard about it before he came, so when he came, this king bought a batch of grain and grass baggage, and now the first batch of grain and grass more than 10,000 stones has been transported to Yu County by the Wei River, and the follow-up grain and grass baggage will arrive in two days;

In addition, along with this group of refugees, there are also a group of refugees, there are 70,000 or 80,000 people, and this king plans to arrange all these people in Yongcheng, re-establish villages and towns along both sides of the Yongshui, reclaim wasteland, and build water conservancy...... However, before this, these people may have to live in Yongcheng, and this king hopes that you can organize the people to clean up the barren grass in the city in these two days, and repair the treasury in the city, so that the king can transfer the grain and grass to Yongcheng. ”

"Lord, the resettlement of this homeless person is good to say, there are empty houses in the city, although they are dilapidated, it is not a problem to repair them to protect them from the wind and rain." Song Yiming said: "But the daily consumption of grain and grass for so many people is not a small number, I don't know how much grain and grass the prince has brought, although the autumn harvest has just passed, but this year's grain harvest is poor, and the people of Yongcheng do not have much food." ”

"You don't have to worry about food, this king has brought more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass this time." Guo Qi said confidently.

Song Yiming made a rough calculation and said to Guo Qi: "Lord Wang, if you save a little bit of grain and grass, I'm afraid it will only be enough for more than two months; Now that the autumn planting season is approaching, if you use this time to reclaim the land and plant winter wheat during the autumn planting, you will not be able to harvest it until the end of May next year. At most, these grains and grasses can only survive the early winter, and there are still five or six months to go......"

"You don't have to worry about grain and grass, this king has his own way; Let's get the things in front of you right! Guo Qi said very confidently.

"No! The lower officials obeyed the king's orders. Song Yiming commanded.

Although the contact time is not long, Guo Qi has also won the recognition of Song Yiming and the people of Yongzhou, but it is only recognition, it will take a lot of time to let them completely annex to dispel the concerns in their hearts, all this can only be handed over to time; Next, Guo Qi talked about his plan in detail, in order to be able to transport a large number of grain and grass from Yuxian County, it is also necessary to mobilize the people of Yongcheng to build a bridge on the Yongshui River south of Yongcheng.

"Lord, if it's too late today, the lower officials have prepared a little thin wine to catch the wind and wash the dust for the prince." Song Yiming saluted Guo Qi and said.

"Lord Song, this reception banquet will be exempted! As for your table, where will it go? Guo Qi directly refused: "This king has resigned first." ”

"It's getting late, do you want to go back to Yu County?" Song Yiming asked.

"I can't go back tonight, but I've found a place to stay."

"Although the county government of the prince is simple, it is much better than other places in the city, so the prince will live here tonight!"

"This Yongcheng is the capital of this king, isn't there a place for this king to live here!" Guo Qi said with a smile: "This king will not stay overnight tonight, and will go back to the palace to live." ”

"The palace?" Song Yiming said with a puzzled face.

The palace that Guo Qi said is actually the Thorn History Mansion located in the center of the inner city, which is a large courtyard with six entrances, just like a miniature city, although it is dilapidated, it can still see the glory of the past; Of course, such a mansion is far inferior to the specifications of the royal mansion, and there is no way to compare it with the mansion of the Luodu family.

---------

The Royal Palace of Luodo, inside the Imperial Study.

A little eunuch took small steps, holding a tray with a letter on it, and knelt down in front of the emperor's imperial case lightly, Haizhong, who was waiting by the emperor's side, walked over, saw two words written on the envelope, picked up the letter, and waved his hand at the little eunuch.

After the little eunuch left, Hai Zhong walked up to the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, the letter from the night owl that the Inner Court Division just received. ”

Hearing the word night owl, Emperor Guo Chun put down the imperial pen in his hand and said, "Submit it." ”

After the letter was delivered to the Emperor, the Emperor carefully examined the fire paint and found that there was nothing wrong with it, which means that the letter had not been opened and read since it was written; The Emperor tore open the letter and took out the letter inside.

The more the emperor read the contents of the letter, the more ugly his face became, and Haizhong, who was standing on the side, didn't even dare to breathe.

"How unreasonable is that; Bang'! The emperor shouted angrily and slapped the pages of the letter in his hand on the imperial case.

If Guo Qi saw the contents of this letter here, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat, because the content of the letter was nothing else, that is, what Guo Qi, the king of Yong, had done in Jingzhao Mansion, not only had everything recorded, but even how much grain and grass Guo Qi had 'robbed' in Jingzhao Mansion had been written; of course, the letter also clearly wrote down the actions of officials of Guanzhong Daotai and the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the situation in the Cangcheng of Jingzhao Mansion, and the situation of the Rong family's private treasury.

Hai Zhong immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry......

The emperor calmed down and said to Hai Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground: "I didn't say anything about you, get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Hai Zhong finished speaking, he got up and continued to stand by the emperor's side.

The Emperor put the letter back in the envelope, and walked back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back, and stopped and stopped, shaking his head when he stopped; Haizhong, who has served the emperor all the year round, knows that this must be something difficult for the emperor to encounter, and it is difficult to choose, shaking his head to indicate that the emperor has any ideas, but soon the emperor himself vetoed it, once the emperor stopped, he said that he was afraid that someone was going to be unlucky, and the longer the emperor walked back and forth, the greater the bad luck of that person.

This time, the emperor had to walk back and forth for more than half an hour, and it had only been so long before when the emperor pacified the rebellion of the vassal kings, and Haizhong seemed to realize something.

"Haizhong."

"The minions are here."

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't this sign very close to the prince?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Rongzheng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have dealings."

The emperor nodded and said to Hai Zhong: "Spread the order to the Inner Court Division, and make every effort to investigate the officials of Guanzhong Daotai and Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and the Rong clan will focus on strict investigation. ”

"No! Minion Commands......"

"In the future, the news about King Yong will be reported to me as soon as possible."

"No!"

When the emperor received the secret report, His Royal Highness Guo Zhan, the crown prince who lived in the East Palace, also received a letter from Rong Zheng, who naturally did not use the facts, but exaggerated a lot, and the crown prince Guo Zhan was furious, which also caused a rift in the relationship between Guo Qi, the king of Yong, and the crown prince Guo Zhan.

At this time, Guo Qi, who was far away in Yongzhou, did not know that it was precisely because of his series of actions in Jingzhao Mansion that the emperor had paid great attention to himself, and at the same time, Guanzhong Dao and its officials in Jingzhao Mansion had reached a big bad time, and they did not pull down any of them by beheading, raiding their homes, and exile.
