Chapter 165: Spring Ploughing (4)

"Dad, you see this is a silver coin, a real silver coin, and there are patterns and words on it!" Yu Lao Er excitedly ran to Lao Yu with a silver coin.

The old man took the silver coin with trembling hands and said, "You kid, be careful, this is the prince's reward, hurry up and offer this thing." ”

"Dad, this is made of silver." Yu Lao Er looked at the silver coin with a blank look and said: "When I was repairing the city, I heard that just this silver coin can buy back three or four stones of grain!" ”

"Second brother, you don't have the idea of hitting this silver coin." Lao Yu slapped Yu Lao Er and said: "Don't say that it can be exchanged for three or four stone of grain, even if it is three or four hundred stone of grain, we won't pay it back;

Our family now has so much land, and we can grow a lot of food in the future, and we can also exchange it for a lot of silver coins, but this silver coin is a reward from the prince, and it can bless our family with peace, understand? ”

"I know my father." Yu Lao Er nodded seriously and said, "Dad, you can let my mother put away this silver coin!" ”

"That's right, hurry up, go eat something, let's go to work in the field." Lao Yutou patted Yu Lao's shoulder and said, "If such a good land is not served well, my old Yutou will have no face to live." ”

————————

After Guo Qi led his army to leave this small village, he marched all the way to the northeast and went straight to Huangyuan City; Most of the situations Guo Qi saw along the way were similar to Lao Yutou's family; Since the adult strong men are all building cities and building villages on the defense line of Longdi Mountain, most of the people working in the fields are women, children and the elderly.

But fortunately, on the way back to the city, Guo Qi successively met some young people who returned from Longdi Mountain in groups, and these young people returned home one after another and will become the main force of Yongdi spring ploughing.

Guo Qi walked all the way, conducting field surveys all the way to understand the real situation of the people; Nowadays, although these people have been allocated houses, land, cattle, farm tools, and seeds, these people can not eat much food, although the government has given them some, but it is not enough to last until the autumn harvest, so these people eat very poorly, generally omnivorous and wild vegetables.

Due to long-term malnutrition and lack of food, the vast majority of the people have yellow and thin faces, and their faces are like vegetables; According to the words of these people: 'It's good to be able to fill your stomach, but you still pay attention to nutrition or not!' ’

After a few days of marching, Guo Qi and his guards finally returned to Yongcheng, and on the Yongshui Bridge west of Yongcheng, Guo Qi ordered Li Wu to fight his own big battle.

"Yes, the prince's master, the prince's class has returned to the capital......"

"Lord Wang, I'm back, Lord Yong is back......"

……

The elderly, women, children, and children who were busy in the field, after seeing Guo Qi's big words, shouted one by one, and consciously kowtowed to the place where Guo Qi, the king of Yong, passed, and shouted 'Chitose'.

As soon as he arrived at the west gate of Yongcheng, Guo Qi heard a message from the city: "Wang Ye Chitose, Wang Ye Chitose, Wang Ye Chitose......"

Guo Qi slowed down the pace of his horse and waved to the people kneeling on both sides of the street, receiving the people's heartfelt worship and awe; As the seat of Yongdi, Yongcheng, the people who live here are also the best in the entire Yongdi life, Guo Qi's prestige in the hearts of the people of Yongcheng has reached an unprecedented level, even if Guo Qi orders them to die now, these people will not hesitate to carry it out.

Walking through the city gate hole, Guo Qi suddenly stopped and sat down on the war horse: "Huh, huh, huh......"

Guo Qi got down from this war horse and walked to the gate tower of Xicheng, although Song Yiming and Li Wu didn't know what Guo Qi was going to do, they hurriedly dismounted and followed; Several guards are firmly protecting Guo Qi in the middle, although this is Yongcheng, these people are also very loyal to Guo Qi, but no one dares to guarantee that there are no assassins or the like in the hearts of these people, if Guo Qi is assassinated in his own home, then these guards will directly judge themselves.

Guo Qi, who climbed the West City Tower, held a wooden loudspeaker and shouted to the people in the city: "People of Yongcheng, this king has returned with victory. ”

"Prince Chitose, Prince Chitose......" the people shouted in unison.

"In this battle, our army defeated Xirong, annihilated more than 100,000 enemies, captured countless grain, grass, weapons and livestock, and recovered Longzhou." Guo Qi said in an impassioned speech to the people: "But for this victory, we also paid a heavy price, tens of thousands of soldiers spilled their blood on the battlefield;

Among them are your sons, brothers, husbands, fathers, they are all heroes who defend their families and countries, and it is because of their sacrifices that we can live well here;

The king of Ming Japan will personally invite their heroic souls into the Martyrs' Shrine, and they will always enjoy the incense of posterity, and will always be remembered by our living people; The soldiers of the Yongjun army are mighty, and the heroic soul of the Yongjun is mighty......"

"The soldiers of the Yongjun army are mighty, and the heroic soul of the Yongjun is mighty......" The people under the city shouted and made a thunderous sound.

In the Yongwang Mansion Council.

All the officials are lined up on both sides, and there are many faces that Guo Qi has never seen, and these officials are basically pulled up by Song Yiming; However, when these officials saw Guo Qi sitting on the throne, their eyes revealed a fanatical enthusiasm for worship.

"See the lord for his humble duties, the lord is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years ......old," all the officials bowed to Guo Qi and saluted.

"Everyone, please get up and take your seats!" Guo Qi said to everyone.

After everyone sat down, Guo Qi continued: "You don't have to be restrained, this king has been leading troops to fight outside for a long time, and many of you have never seen this king, this is the king's dereliction of duty, this king apologizes to you first;

You are all the best talents in Yongdi, and it is the luck of this king and the people of Yongdi to be able to assist you. ”

Hearing Guo Qi's words, these literati were moved by a mess, although they had all heard of the wisdom of King Yong Guo Qi before they came, but they did not expect that a high-ranking prince would apologize to all the literati for these trivial things that could not be counted at all; With this sentence alone, Guo Qi immediately captured the hearts of these literati.

"The lord treats us as a national soldier, and we will swear to the death for the lord." An official stood up and said loyally to Guo Qi.

"We will swear to the death for the Lord."

Guo Qi waved his hand at everyone and motioned for everyone to sit down; "Although the king has returned to Yongcheng now, but in a few days the king will return to the earthquake pass, the next large-scale attack of the Xirong army is not far away, the king must deal with the next war wholeheartedly, and all government affairs in Yongdi will be handled by the governor of the palace Shi Song Yiming on behalf of the king."

"Humble and orderly, thank you." Song Yiming accepted the appointment.

At this moment, all the officials turned their attention to Song Yiming, and at the same time, many people also had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, planning to get closer to Song Yiming after the meeting.

"From now until the autumn harvest in these months, it will be the most difficult period for our two states, although we have now begun spring ploughing, but the land cannot grow grain overnight, and the grain and grass stored in our warehouse city are simply not enough to last until the autumn harvest;

Therefore, now food is our first government, no matter what you think, this king wants you to ensure that no one in Yongdi will die of hunger during this time, this is the task given to you by this king; The ugly words of this king are said in the front, if anyone makes a mistake to this king because of this matter, this king will not spare it. ”

The further Guo Qi spoke, the sharper his tone became, and these officials even heard the murderous aura from Guo Qi's tone.
