Wang Jun stayed by Han Qian's side for a few days, and returned to Yangzhou directly from the east of Tangyi City on the sixth day of the eighth month.

As soon as Wang Jun returned to Jianyuan with her maid Xiangyun, Mrs. Xu hurried over and asked non-stop:

"Did the Marquis of Qianyang agree to the marriage? Hey, you said that since ancient times, where has a girl's family come to the door to say goodbye? Even if this Qianyang Marquis agreed to cooperate with Huaidong for a temporary benefit, how can you get attention if you marry in the past? Besides, the Marquis of Qianyang accepted a concubine three or four years ago without marrying a wife, and this concubine also gave birth to a son for him. ”

"What if the Marquis of Qianyang didn't agree?" Wang Jun looked at the little lady with interest and asked.

"Huh?" Mrs. Xu was stunned for a while, but seeing that Wang Jun had a smile between her eyebrows, she couldn't help but reach out and pat her, and said, "What's the use of you using this to deceive me?" I'm not worried that you'll be bullied if you get married? ”

"Where's Daddy?" Wang Jun didn't see his father, and asked curiously.

"I haven't seen any other person, I don't know that you came back from Tangyi today, and he is still acting in the state government." Mrs. Xu said.

Wang Jun knew that her father must know that she had returned to Jianyuan, and she was probably still ashamed of using her as a bargaining chip, and she didn't want to act too rushed, right?

Wang Jun naturally didn't reveal too many details to the little lady, so she went back to the room to wash and change back into women's clothes, and waited until late to see her father riding back to Jianyuan on a horse.

Zhou Sima Yinpeng also came by horse, and Wang Jun knew that they were still thinking about what she had experienced in Tangyi in the past few days; Otherwise, Yin Peng, as the state Sima, would not be so idle as his father's follower all day long.

"I went out for a few days, but I lost a little weight, so I came back to eat some good food and make up for my body." Wang Wenqian waited in the study for Wang Jun to come over with the concubine Xu's greetings, and inadvertently signaled the maids and guards to go outside the corridor.

"If the father has nothing else to say, then the daughter will go and eat some good things to replenish her body." Wang Jun said.

"Ahem!" Wang Wenqian coughed, and asked with a somewhat unbearable face, "What else have you gained from playing in Tangyi these days?" ”

Wang Jun didn't cry when he came back, and he didn't hang himself, of course Wang Wenqian knew that there was no problem with the marriage, but the problem was that in addition to this marriage that had gone through too many twists and turns, what kind of conditions and in what form would Han Qian join forces with Huaidong was the key.

He believed that after Jun'er saw Han Qian, even if she didn't directly involve these issues, she would observe and consider them, and these were the things he needed to figure out.

"Father is willing to marry Jun'er to Xuzhou?" Wang Jun stared at his father Wang Wenqian and asked faintly.

Wang Wenqian asked with a little bitterness: "After you marry in Xuzhou, I will resign from the position of Yangzhou Assassin, Jun'er, do you want to be a father, or do you not want to?" ”

"Ah, why did you resign as an assassin?" Xu asked in surprise.

Xu has followed Wang Wenqian's side over the years, and his vision and knowledge are different from ordinary women, but he has not penetrated into people's hearts to the point of knowing the subtleties.

Where did she think that the basis for Huaidong to cooperate with Han Qian was that King Xin, Yang Yuanyan, Ruan Yan and others believed that Han Qian was ambitious, and that Han Qian would choose to cooperate with Huaidong for personal gain, instead of focusing on the imperial court, and might help the imperial court put pressure on Huaidong and withdraw the feudal domain?

However, there are two sides to everything.

Huai Dong recognized

Han Qian's ambition was beneficial to them at this time, but as long as his strength allowed in the future, it was difficult to guarantee that Han Qian would not rebel against Huaidong.

Wang Wenqian resigned from the position of Yangzhou assassin in order to avoid suspicion for the future.

Of course, in what Wang Wenqian said to Wang Jun, the meaning is also obvious, if he is greedy for power, he will not let this marriage force him into a very embarrassing situation, and in the end he may not please both ends.

Wang Jun didn't have to figure out these truths in his heart, but sometimes he needed to ask them in person, asking for a clearer and more affirmative answer, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that his father's temples were already frosty.

In the study, there was silence for a while, and no one answered Xu's question, Xu stood aside slightly awkwardly, and his hand habitually beat Wang Wenqian's shoulder.

"Father, do you think that His Royal Highness has secretly asked someone to ask King Shou for help?" Wang Jun asked.

"In the past two years, Ruan Yan has been by His Royal Highness's side, and it has been difficult for me to go to His Highness's side for three or five months to speak, and this matter is really difficult to say." Wang Wenqian said.

The difference between intimacy and intimacy in this world is so delicate, even if the king trusts him at this time, there is no need to tell him everything, and he has no own ideas - besides, he is a minister, he believes in the king as the king, and the monarch always pays attention to the way of checks and balances of the emperor, and wears a crotch with a courtier, how can he win over other courtiers?

Of course, Wang Wenqian didn't want to go too far on the topic of suspicion between monarchs and ministers, he was more concerned about Han Qian's exact attitude in the whole matter.

Wang Jun didn't say much, but told his father Wang Wenqian about Han Qian's intention to sell Tangyi Tianzhai in Yangzhou.

Tangyi took out more than 100,000 acres of reclaimed new land and sold it, and also gave houses, farm tools, seeds, rations and some necessary daily necessities before next year's crops were ripe in summer.

Even if the displaced people are recruited to reclaim the famine, they do not need to pay a penny, but the displaced people have to start cultivating and building houses, and in the absence of sufficient tools, the process will be extremely difficult, and they will not want to settle down in two or three years.

Of course, the number of people recruited by Tangyi this time is limited, only 10,000 or 20,000, and the money and grain obtained from the sale of the farmhouse will be fully lent to Huaidong, which can be regarded as a mutually beneficial thing.

More importantly, this lays the foundation for further cooperation in the future, so that the two sides can get closer to each other step by step, without worrying about who will suddenly change their hexagram and pit each other.

Wang Wenqian immediately planned to write a letter and sent it to Chuzhou overnight, and the letter Wang Yang Yuan acted to determine the matter.

At present, it is an open secret that the Han family is bankrupt to support the construction of Tangyi.

The Han family, as a wealthy family in Jiangdong that stood side by side with the Feng family, what kind of heritage does it hide, outsiders can't figure it out, just like who would have thought that only the Feng family would be able to be confiscated by Emperor Tianyou after the Imperial Tomb case?

Therefore, Han Qian had the spare energy to reclaim and renovate the surplus farm house in Tangyi and sell it, and Wang Wenqian and the people in Huaidong didn't think much about it, but thought that it was the Han family's help.

…………

…………

Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, quickly responded, instructing Yangzhou to handle the matter with full authority, and then Han Qian led Feng Yi to Yangzhou with more than a dozen people, specializing in selling the land house and borrowing money.

This matter was not deliberately kept secret from the imperial court, and Han Qian even wrote directly to the imperial court, requesting that this method be also practiced in Xuanrun and other places to raise military funds.

however

The problem is that Han Qian refused to allow the clan lords to invest in Tangyi to hoard land, and then let the slaves and maids come over to farm, and the ordinary landed households in the counties of Jiangnan did not have a desperate situation of ruined families and people, who was willing to risk their lives and drag their families to settle in Jiangbei, which would be involved in a tragic war at any time.

And even if there are quite a lot of landless poor people and displaced people who have left their homes and lived in other lands in the counties of Jiangnan, they are the objects of the local clansmen vying to sell them into slavery, so where are the local forces willing to send the fat in their mouths to Tangyi?

Of course, the imperial court did not want to vigorously support Tangyi to vigorously recruit landless poor and displaced people in the counties of Jiangnan Zhuzhou, but it would not prohibit Tangyi from attracting war refugees from Huaidong.

If you really want to ban it, isn't this forcing Han Qian to pick a pick?

The progress of things was the same as Han Qian had initially expected.

Yangtai and other places were less affected by the war, and the vast majority of the victims were reluctant to move to Tangyi, waiting for the flood to recede and return to their homes.

However, Chuzhou, especially the area immediately along the Huai River, was the area where the Liang army focused on attacking and destroying at the beginning of the year, and it was destined to be the area that the Liang army focused on attacking in the future.

However, people in the world have always relocated to their land, and there are still not many of these people who are willing to move to Tangyi.

Without repeated blows, the vast majority of people will have an optimistic or lucky attitude towards the future.

However, in the early days of the war, the displaced people who fled south from Haizhou and Sizhou on the north bank of the Huai River had no way to return to their families, and they stayed in the Yangtai area, not wanting to starve to death or selling themselves into slavery, so they could only give up the small amount of money and goods they had with them and go to Tangyi to try their luck.

Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion and Tangyi Xingying posted official lists inside and outside Yangzhou City, and people gathered.

Even if the land in Tangyi is sold at one-tenth of the land price in the south of the Yangtze River, with houses, rations, farm tools and seeds, there is still a certain threshold for the south-fleeing refugees, but in just a few days, the quota of 3,000 households and 20,000 people agreed between Tangyi and Yangzhou was snatched up.

or money, or gold and silver, or cloth, a total of 200,000 yuan of money and goods were collected, and the money and goods were lent to the Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion with the support of the Tangyi camp, which was used to purchase grain and straw to solve the food crisis that the Huaidong Army had become more and more embarrassed.

By the end of August, the military and civilians in the seven counties of Tangyi had finally slowly increased to 150,000, and the 30,000 new people added since March had increased Tangyi's output by more than 13,000 young and strong men and able-bodied women, which could be regarded as a slight relief from the serious shortage of labor in Tangyi.

In addition, the people who were requisitioned from Guangde Mansion and Jiangzhou as conscription, it stands to reason that after the expiration of the three months of conscription, they must be returned to their original places of origin and replaced by a new batch of minfu.

Theoretically speaking, even if Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou withstood the pressure of local forces and fully cooperated, the service force that Tangyi could requisition from Guangde Mansion and Jiangzhou would be fixed.

However, if Tangyi paid enough cloth for wages, a considerable number of landless or landless people were willing to stay, and they were not subject to the three-month conscription period.

By the end of August, the number of laborers from Guangdefu and Jiangzhou to Tangyi for the construction of embankments, tunzhai, chidao, and dock ports increased to 12,000.

Coupled with the more than 8,000 craftsmen recruited and hired by Han Qian from Xuzhou, many of the construction things in Tangyi counties can barely be maintained, and there is no serious disconnection......
