Across the tent, the sound was faint.

There is shyness, fear, anxiety, and whispered comfort.

By the end it had turned into heavy gasps and low moans.

The three girls listened to the movement in the tent, and their cheeks flushed slightly.

After glancing at each other, they hurriedly fled outside the tent.

The hibiscus tent warms up the spring night.

The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold.

I don't know how long Yang Qi and Du Jin'e tossed in the tent, in short, the next morning, both of them got up late.

Du Jin'e is like a shy little daughter-in-law, who was teased and pulled away by Cao Lin's three daughters.

Yang Qi regained his true colors as the lord of the country and returned to his office tent to continue to handle official business.

Although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Qi didn't have so much time to accompany his family to take a good walk in Youzhou.

As soon as they arrived at the tent in the office, Peng Pai and Chen Lin came together.

Peng Pai had a calm face and walked in front with his head up.

Chen Lin hunched her waist with a smile and followed behind Peng Pai.

"Chen Peng Pai ......"

"Slave Chen Lin......"

"See Your Majesty."

Yang Qi sat at the table, looked at the two people in front of him, and said in amazement, "When did the two of you get together?" ”

Chen Lin hunched her waist and said with a smile: "Last night's Chinese New Year's Eve, the slave, a lonely person, happened to meet Peng Pao, a lonely person. After chatting together, they naturally became familiar with ......"

"Humph!"

Peng Pai snorted unceremoniously, obviously disagreeing with Chen Lin's statement.

Yang Qi didn't have time to worry about this kind of issue, he looked at the two of them and asked, "What is the matter with you looking for me?" ”

Chen Lin said with a smiling face: "Now that the slave has voted for Your Majesty, naturally she can't be a useless person." The slave has been engaged in supervision for many years and has some experience. I talked to Peng Pai about this last night, and I felt that the slave maid was a usable person, so I wanted to invite the slave and maid to help His Majesty do things together.

The slave thought about it, and the matter still had to be consulted by His Majesty, and His Majesty would decide. ”

Yang Qi was obviously stunned when he heard Chen Lin's words.

Frankly speaking, from the time Chen Lin took refuge in him until now, he really didn't think about arranging any work for Chen Lin.

Although Yang Qi is now the lord of a country and is qualified to use eunuchs, Yang Qi does not plan to use eunuchs.

So Chen Lin has been idle in Yanjing City.

Now Chen Lin is going to help Peng Pai take charge of the scarecrow, which makes Yang Qi a little surprised.

Yang Qi looked at Peng Pai and asked, "Is that so?" ”

Peng Pai did not hesitate to debunk Chen Lin, "Chen didn't say these words. Last night, Chen Lin found the minister, wanting to use the people and horses brought from the Great Song Dynasty to appease the division in exchange for the power of the minister to supervise hundreds of officials. ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he was not shy or scared at all because Peng Pai exposed the lie.

He looked at Yang Qi and said seriously: "The reason why the slave maid is doing this is also for the good of His Majesty and for the good of Peng Pai." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin told Yang Qi what he had said to persuade Peng Pai last night.

Yang Qi was silent after listening to Chen Lin's words.

Yang Qi could hear that Chen Lin had a very thorough analysis of the affairs of supervising hundreds of officials, and the entanglements of various interests were also very detailed.

From a professional point of view, Chen Lin is more professional than Peng Pai in terms of supervision.

It's just that Yang Qi still has doubts about Chen Lin's loyalty.

After all, Chen Lin and Peng Pai are different, before this, Yang Qi and Chen Lin only had a few faces, but Peng Pai grew up with Yang Qi all the way.

In terms of trust, Yang Qi naturally trusts Peng Pai more.

But it is also a waste to let a talent like Chen Lin not use it.

Under the gaze of Peng Pai and Chen Lin, Yang Qi thought for a long time and said: "The scarecrow has always been responsible for the reconnaissance of spies from various countries, and has already spied on intelligence. Supervision of hundreds of officials is only a means used in special periods.

The scarecrow itself was created to deal with spies from various countries, and it has been spying on intelligence and responsible for assassinations and other matters.

The supervision of hundreds of officials is not within his authority.

Our Yan country has set up a royal history platform, and it is the responsibility of the imperial history to supervise hundreds of officials.

Of course, in order to avoid the protection of officials and officials, I should also have a certain number of eyes and ears among the people.

Originally, I planned to split one of the scarecrows and set up a new department, called the Supervision Division, which would be subordinate to the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Since Chen Lin has manpower under you, then they will all belong to the Yushitai.

The first person in charge of this supervision department is you, Chen Lin. ”

When Chen Lin and Peng Pai heard this, they were both stunned.

Things didn't go the way they had imagined.

Peng Pai originally thought that after Yang Qi knew about this, he would either choose to believe in himself unconditionally, or he would give some power to Chen Lin from his hands.

Chen Lin and Peng Pai imagined it almost the same.

But Yang Qi didn't do what they imagined.

Yang Qi not only did not divide Peng Pai's power, but established a new department.

The emergence of a new department not only perfectly solved the problem of the two of them, but also added a new force to the supervision department of Yan Kingdom.

And how do they know?

At the time they were asking the question.

Two words popped up in Yang Qi's mind.

One is called the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the other is called the Ministry of National Security.

It's obviously two personalities, why do you have to leave it to one person?

Wouldn't it be faster to hand over professional things to professional people?

And if it is arranged in this way, Yang Qi does not have to worry about whether Chen Lin is loyal or not.

Once Chen Lin led his people into the Imperial History Terrace, it was tantamount to putting himself on the bright side.

Any conspiracy is like a snowflake, which cannot withstand the sun.

Chen Lin didn't know what Yang Qi was thinking, and after hearing that Yang Qi asked him to bring his group of brothers into the Imperial History Platform, he was stunned.

After a while, he said with a trembling mouth: "Your Majesty...... Let the slave enter the court as an official? ”

Yang Qi looked at Chen Lin in amazement, "Is there a problem?" ”

Chen Lin shook his head excitedly and said solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

In Yang Qi's heart, he did this just to enrich his strength.

But in Chen Lin's eyes, Yang Qi regarded him as a human being.

Treat him like a normal person.

This is a blessing from heaven for him, a eunuch, and even for the entire group of eunuchs.

If you have the opportunity to be a human being, who wants to be a slave?

From Chen Lin's self-proclaim, you can guess the change in his mind.

Yang Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't be here, go down and do something." Put up the shelves under your hands as soon as possible. The replenishment of the manpower. Before Yan Guo settles down, you must improve the departments under your hands. ”

"No......"

After the two bowed, they withdrew from the tent where Yang Qi was working.

After the two left, Yang Qi began to stay in the tent again to review the recitals.

During this period, Cao Lin's four daughters came over to give Yang Qi food and drink, and other than that, no one bothered Yang Qi.

After the pieces were approved by Yang Qi, they were quickly recruited and sent out.

This busyness is more than half a month.

Time unconsciously arrived at the Lantern Festival.

Yang Qi finished his official duties and was about to take his wife and children to put out lanterns.

Although Yanjing City is being rebuilt, and there is nothing in the city except for the army and prisoners, with Yang Qi's identity, it is still easy to get two lanterns.

However, Yang Qi had just changed into a long shirt and was ready to go out while the full moon was in place.

Kou Zhun stumbled over.

"Your Majesty, something happened......"

Naturally, it can't be a trivial matter to make Kou Zhun lose his temper like this.

Yang Qi hurriedly stepped forward and helped Kou Zhun who almost fell, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Kou Zhun stood up straight with Yang Qi's support, and whispered in a deep voice: "We have no food......

Yang Qi subconsciously frowned, and said in a deep voice: "How can there be no food?" Isn't the grain from the south always being delivered to the Yan country? Thousands of big ships on the wharf, transporting grain day and night, how can there be no food? ”

Kou Zhun said in a lamented voice: "No matter how much food you have, it's not enough to eat." Last year, Song Liao fought in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and we also fought with Liao. The crops in the sixteen states of Yanyun have long been wasted, and the people have no harvest. It can be said that the entire sixteen states of Yanyun, with nearly four million people, are living on the grain of the southern country, and the amount of grain consumed every day is a huge number. ”

"Where is the grain in the four northwestern provinces?"

"There is no food in the four northwestern provinces, we have waved hundreds of thousands of troops, and launched millions of people, and we have been fighting with the Liao people for several months, and the grain stocks in the four northwest provinces have long been eaten."

Yang Qi immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, he pulled Kou Zhun to the tent, and scolded with a slashing face: "Such a serious matter, why don't you report it early?" Report it to me at the end of the day?

In the territory of Yan Kingdom, if there are people starving to death because of this, it is your fault.

When the time comes, I don't mind killing a group of people and going to bury the people. ”

Kou Zhun stood in front of Yang Qi dejectedly, and said with a bitter face: "The grain transported from the southern country is still enough to eat in one province, enough for the people to eat until the next season when the grain from the southern country is produced."

However, lately, I suddenly didn't have enough to eat......"

Yang Qi narrowed his eyes, and a fierce light suddenly burst into his eyes, "What do you mean by this?" Is there someone at the bottom who is corrupt, or is there someone who resells the grain to the people? ”

Kou Zhun shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "It's that hateful Liao people......"

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "What kind of moth did the Liao people come out of again?" ”

Kou Zhun said solemnly: "Last year, the Liao people suffered heavy losses in successive wars, and after entering the winter, the Liao country suffered another snowstorm, and many cattle and sheep froze to death. The people of Liao froze to death, starved to death, and riots arose in many places because there was no official control.

Many Han Chinese people detained in the territory of Liao took the opportunity to sneak over and join us.

There are even Liao people, pretending to be my Han people, blending into the Yan Kingdom, wanting to eat together.

In short, in just one month, more than one million people ran from Liao. ”

"Hiss~"

Yang Qi grinned, gasped, looked at Kou Zhun with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "You wouldn't be stupid enough to think that more than a million people in the territory of Liao could flee to our Yan country, right?" ”

Kou Zhun said helplessly: "I'm not stupid, more than a million people have arrived in our Yan country from Liao State, how can the Liao State court not notice such a big movement." ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun smiled bitterly and said, "I have sent someone to investigate carefully, and more than one million people, of which 800,000, were driven over by the Liao Imperial Court. ”

"Bang!"

Yang Qi slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "The damage is transferred, transfer the disaster of your own country to us, and reduce your own losses." Xiao Zhuo, a thief mother-in-law, really can't be underestimated.

I knew that she would do such a thing, and I should have strangled him at the border of Shunzhou. ”

Yang Qi couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

In the past, when he had food in his hands and was very short of people, he tried every means to get people from Liao.

And the Liao state is willing to kill those people, but they are not willing to give it to him.

Now he has people in his hands and is very short of food, but the Liao State is trying his best to stuff people for him.

Was this sent by heaven to oppose him?

Why can't it be a one-time wishful thing?

Underpaid?

Yang Qi's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Pass the order, let the people eat meat if there is no food." We have seized so many sheep and cattle that there is enough for the people to feed for three months. Then he sent an order to the martyr and ordered him to change guards with the Gubei army.

Xiao Zhuo, that thief mother-in-law, dares to do something to me, then she shouldn't think about it.

After only two years of not collecting firewood, the Liao people forgot the horror of firewood people. ”

Kou Zhun looked at Yang Qi helplessly, and said in a low voice: "It's still not enough......"

"Not enough?"

Yang Qi's voice suddenly raised three degrees, "How can it not be enough?" We have seized millions of cattle and sheep......"

Kou Zhun had a bitter face, "It's just not enough ......"

Yang Qi had a dark face and glared at Kou Zhun fiercely, "Then send someone to the Great Song Dynasty and ask Zhao Defang to find a way to get some food and send it to us." Anyway, Da Song still owes us 10,000 yuan, so let them take the grain as interest first. ”

Xiao Zhuo's thief transferred the damage to Yang Qi, and Yang Qi could only transfer the damage to Zhao Defang.

When Kou Zhun heard this, he looked at Yang Qi with resentment, like a resentful woman, and said quietly: "Da Song is poorer than us...... The reason why there is not enough food to eat is that in addition to the one million victims who have come to Liao...... More than a million people also came over from the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Poof~"

Yang Qi almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot, "All of them are here as a refugee shelter?" Shove people to me, see how good I am? ”

Yang Qi was furious on the spot, roaring with righteous indignation.

Kou Zhun looked at Yang Qi and said helplessly: "The refugees from the Great Song Dynasty are no wonder the Great Song Dynasty...... At the beginning, outside Tongtai Pass, you promised the 100,000 soldiers of the forbidden army who voted for us, and let them help Zhao Defang ascend to the throne, and let them drag their families over.

Now, they have brought their families here, and they have also taken in some displaced people along the way.

By the time they arrived in Yan Kingdom, the number of people exceeded one million......"

The angry expression on Yang Qi's face froze, and he didn't know what to say.

This is indeed Yang Qi's own pot, and there is no way to plant it on someone else's head.

In the past, he could still play tricks.

Now that he has become a human king, he has no jokes, and he has blocked all his retreats.

A Yanyun battle, a three-way confrontation, the consumption of grain and grass, and countless soldiers killed in the battle.

In the end, the rich and large countries were also forced to start living a poor life.

Everyone is too poor to eat.

This shows how terrible a war involving millions of people is.
