(111) The young master's night talk
Yun Xiangrong was really a little groggy in the past three days, and sometimes he was thinking that if his cousin didn't tell him about his father, he shouldn't be so worried about it in the past three days, but he would definitely lose his temper at his cousin after knowing it.
Hey, it's hard for my cousin.
According to the plan that Jiang Qingchen said before, the second prince and Young Master Yun entered Beijing on time at noon on the third day.
Jiang He returned to the house as soon as possible to report the news, and Mrs. Yun was very happy, and prepared to go to the gate of the palace to pick up Yun Chengyuan in the afternoon.
What is surprising is that the second prince and Jiang Qingchen faced the saint together, but the emperor sent the two away with the hard work of Aiqing, and left Yun Chengyuan alone.
Jiang Qingchen didn't go back to the house, but went back directly to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, he was outside for the past few days, and there must be some backlog to deal with.
The second prince went back to the palace directly, and said to Jiang Qingchen that he was really tired after worrying outside for so long, and when he was rested, he was going to see his imperial sister immediately, and he would rather want to look. By the way, I said to Jiang Qingchen again, don't forget to call me second brother in the future.
Jiang Qingchen said in his heart that it is true that your body is tired, but your brain is really not tired.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Yun set off to pick up people, and when it was about dinner time, the couple returned, Jiang Qingchen came back, and Jiang Xi'an also returned.
However, the meal that was originally planned to be a family reunion became eaten by Hou Ye and the young master, and the rest of the people ate together.
Yun Xiangrong felt that his father had become a young master, but he was really tired, and he hadn't seen his father until now.
At dinner, Jiang Qingchen was just about to send Yun Xiangrong back to his yard, when the maid came to report, saying that the young master wanted to see the princess and the concubine, and was waiting for them in the courtyard where the princess lived before.
When the two entered the courtyard, they saw Mrs. Yun and Yun Chengyuan sitting on the main seat and talking something.
"Daddy, Auntie." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Uncle, aunt." Jiang Qingchen said.
"Rongrong, Qingchen, here, sit down." Yun Chengyuan said.
Yun Chengyuan never thought that his son-in-law was actually the son of the world, and his parents hoped that their children would live well, Yun Chengyuan knew that his daughter was smart, but she was too lazy, and she thought that it would be okay to find her a comfortable home, who would have thought that coming to the capital would be like this.
Today, the saint said that the marriage was proposed by Jiang Qingchen, which means that no matter whether he is a young master or not, Jiang Qingchen wants to marry his daughter.
Yun Chengyuan didn't have much contact with Jiang Qingchen before, and he had the impression that he was a stable child, but the day before yesterday he saw it at first sight.
After the others arrived, they made a deployment plan for the post station as a whole, arranged for everyone to go to bed early, and set off on time tomorrow morning.
Yun Chengyuan only learned from the second prince the next day that Jiang Qingchen hadn't slept for two days and one night, just to see him before he arrived at the control blind spot.
The next day, Yun Chengyuan, after breakfast, just got into the carriage, he was startled, oh my God, Jiang Qingchen prepared five himself, five Jiang Qingchen and five second princes, obviously all of them were prepared for a long time.
In the morning, they set off from the post station together, and the clothes of the eighteen people were all different, and they couldn't tell the real from the fake at all
From this post station, there are a total of six roads to the capital, each road has people to walk, if each team to try, it is not impossible, then you have to have enough manpower.
Yun Chengyuan didn't know if other teams had encountered ambushes, anyway, his team had successfully arrived in the capital.
Jiang Qingchen and Mr. Yu have been fighting for so many years, both of them know each other very well, Jiang Qingchen knows that Mr. Yu's strength in the capital is limited, and he has already suffered losses in order to assassinate the princess last time, plus the failure of the first two ambushes of the young master, the losses are heavy. This time, I will not rush forward, and I must make an accurate judgment before I can make a move.
Six roads, when the judgment is good, there is also a blind spot, and the final result is definitely not to shoot, because it can no longer bear it, and the casualties caused by wrong judgment.
"Daddy, have you had a smooth journey?" Yun Xiangrong said.
She could see that Yun Chengyuan had had a hard time along the way, and everyone was thinner than she had in her impression.
"Fortunately, the tailor cloth you want and the dressing box of Daifang are protected by the dart board, and I estimate that it will be two days late." Yun Chengyuan said.
Yun Chengyuan saw the second prince, and after receiving the holy decree, he returned to Beijing with the second prince's guards. Separate from the cargo.
"Okay." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Qingchen, have you always been curious about why the emperor named me a young master?" Yun Chengyuan said.
"Yes, uncle." Jiang Qingchen said directly.
"This is a long-term plan, it has not yet been finalized, I need to go to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to investigate first, and then finalize it, originally the Holy One did not allow me to say it, but I think it is a good thing that you knew it earlier, and then the Holy One agreed." Yun Chengyuan said.
"Uncle, we actually guessed that the Holy One has the intention of developing the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun." Jiang Qingchen said.
"I guess you haven't thought about the original intention of the Holy Lord to develop the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and I only learned today that the Holy One's thoughts are very far-reaching. Everyone knows that the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun come from the junction of Xiliang and Zhu Ziguo, and the two countries have lived in peace over the years, but there is constant internal friction, Zhu Ziguo can't wait for Xiliang to have some trouble, Xiliang also wants Zhu Ziguo to have a mess, and Qingchen's affairs are very busy, isn't it because Zhu Ziguo is making trouble? Yun Chengyuan said.
"Yes." Jiang Qingchen said.
"Have you ever thought about solving this problem at its root? The saint has thought about it, that is, the economic and military strength of the Xiliang Kingdom should completely surpass that of the Zhu Zi Kingdom, which is equivalent to the fact that it is impossible for adults to compare their strength with infants, and military development also requires an economic foundation, but how can economic development be achieved in a short period of time, this is a long process, if the effect is to be obvious, it is necessary to develop and Zhu Ziguo has a large area of the bordering Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, because most of the people of Zhu Ziguo cannot have an in-depth understanding of Xiliang State, and they have the most contact with Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, if the economy is good there, they will think that Xiliang is very strong, their own country does not have the strength to be an enemy of it. Yun Chengyuan said.
Jiang Qingchen was amazed by the Saint's strategy, but he also felt that it was difficult in his heart.
"Uncle, the sage's plan is very good, but before you arrived in the capital, you were in danger all the way, and this road is not easy to walk." Jiang Qingchen said.
"You don't have to worry about this, I felt the danger as soon as I received the holy decree, so I wrote an economic development plan overnight and entered Beijing, and the Holy One kept me, and also discussed with me the plan I wrote, as long as the plan can be implemented, I am safe, Zhu Ziguo understands that there is no point in killing me, because there will be people who will implement my plan according to it, and they will let it go when the time comes." Yun Chengyuan said.
Jiang Qingchen sighed in his heart, Jiang is still old and spicy. The saint has a unique vision, and this young master and princess are too worthwhile. No wonder I was asked to pick up my uncle in person.
"Daddy, my country's annual investment in infrastructure construction is fixed, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures belong to remote areas, and they have not paid attention to it before, if the investment is not large enough, the root will not see the effect, but if the investment is large enough, it is necessary to increase the people's taxes, which is not easy for the stability of the country." Yun Xiangrong said.
It is worthy of Yun Xiangrong, who has memorized the "Xiliang Statute", and his consideration of the problem has become very high.
Yun Chengyuan felt that his daughter had been named a princess, and it was obvious that the whole person was different, and he saw the problem more profoundly.
"Yes, this is also the main reason why the Holy Lord appointed me as a young master, to see if I can develop the local economy without increasing taxes and with the limited investment of the state. My proposal is to encourage businessmen to go and be exempt from paying taxes for three years, regardless of borders. Yun Chengyuan said.
"The local population density is not high, and it is difficult for the economy to develop without people, so I don't know how the Holy Lord plans to solve it?" Jiang Qingchen asked. He felt that the Holy One should have thought of all the plans.
"Xiliang has soldiers discharged from the army every year, and the holy meaning is to offer generous conditions, such as the uniform field system, the division of fields, and the exemption of field taxes. Encourage the people to live in the twelve states of Youyun. There is also the direct garrison into the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to open an evolved version of the government military system, such as the active military personnel who have become relatives, and provide family residences and fields. Marriage during military service is encouraged. Yun Chengyuan said.
The so-called government soldier system is that every government in Xiliang now has a government soldier on active duty in the imperial court, who usually produces at home, trains in agricultural leisure, and goes to the battlefield when the country needs it.
"The policy is good, but it will do great harm to the vested interests at that time, and it is not very easy to operate." Jiang Qingchen said.
"Yes, this is the first problem I want to solve, first to investigate, to find out the local development advantages, such as local specialties, people's preferences, so that we can quickly resolve the contradiction in the distribution of benefits." Yun Chengyuan said.
"Uncle, your road is not easy to walk, but in terms of safety, you can rest assured, the saint is worthy of giving you five hundred guards, and I will arrange a team of sixteen people for you, which will definitely ensure your safety." Jiang Qingchen said.
"You don't have to worry about me, I have already said hello to the three most powerful families in Jiangnan, the cake given by the emperor is too big, I can't eat it alone, and I don't want to eat alone, let's share it together." We made an appointment to meet in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun," Yun Chengyuan said.
Jiang Qingchen admired Yun Chengyuan's courage and atmosphere.
"Daddy, how long will you stay in the capital this time?" Yun Xiangrong asked.
"I'll leave the day after tomorrow." Yun Chengyuan said.
"Huh? Is it so urgent? Yun Xiangrong asked.
"The Holy Lord doesn't want me to stay in the capital for a long time, because the plan hasn't started yet, and I have a lot of contact, and it's not good for me." Yun Chengyuan said.
"Oh." Yun Xiangrong said disappointedly.
"Rongrong, when you and Qingchen get married, I will definitely come to the capital, and the affairs of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will be arranged at that time." Yun Chengyuan said.
"Daddy, I want to take the third brother to the capital to prepare for the exam, some time ago, the little grandfather of the Fuguo Mansion helped write a strategy for lifting people to take the exam, and I don't know if the third brother can be lifted this time, but I think everyone is busy now, not in Jiangnan, the third brother has a loose personality, someone must watch him, otherwise he will not be able to pass the Jinshi exam in this life." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Then you just look at him, I agree, his family is afraid of you. If you send someone to Jiangnan to pick him up, he will definitely come to the capital. Yun Chengyuan said.
"No, then he won't be willing to come." Yun Xiangrong said.
"No, isn't your third brother so adaptable? I haven't gotten used to it for more than ten years, but you can see that I'm getting used to it in a few months. Jiang Qingchen said.
The whole room was smiling and silent.
Yun Chengyuan thought that Jiang Qingchen had taken a fancy to his daughter's appearance, but at present, he didn't see it, he could respect Yun Xiangrong's thoughts, and he was the one who really loved Yun Xiangrong.
