Shangzhou suffered a lot of losses in the previous war, and the prefecture and county under its rule were ten rooms and nine empty, and the city was also burned down by a fire.

Gao Yihuan looked at the shantytown in front of him, and the ruins of the broken wall could be faintly seen, and he raised his horsewhip and pointed, "It's Shangzhou, take a look!" ”

After finishing speaking, he waved his horsewhip and ran down the official road, behind Li Laiheng and others, followed closely behind, more than 100 horse soldiers galloped and raised a yellow dust.

From the beginning of the first month, when Duoduo attacked southern Henan, a large number of refugees appeared in eastern Henan and Runing.

Although the war had not yet ended, the feudal government's resettlement of refugees had been going on since the moment the refugees broke out.

In the territory of the Western Wei Kingdom, the population of Nanyang and Huguang is quite sufficient, and the land has long been divided, and only Guanzhong has a large amount of wasteland.

At this time, natural disasters in the north were still frequent, but the main reasons affecting the survival of the people were the unfavorable relief provided by the government and the destruction of society by displaced people and bandits.

Heavy taxes forced the people to abandon the famine, and because of social instability, some people came to rob the grain, causing the people to flee in large numbers and take turns to become displaced people, which in turn undermined the stability of the surrounding areas, which caused the ruins of the north and the collapse of social order.

In fact, natural disasters are not the main reason for erosion in the north, at this time not only the Ming Dynasty is in such a harsh environment, but also the Ottomans and Western Zhuyi are also in the same climatic conditions, but it is the Ming Dynasty that collapses, so you have to find your own reasons.

Disasters and natural disasters are the two most common people who bear the blame in Chinese history, but in fact, they can't catch up with the harm of man-made disasters.

At present, there are still a large number of fields that can be cultivated in Guanzhong, and the Weihe River system is all over the Guanzhong Plain, and the feudal government only needs to provide seeds to the people, borrow grain from the people in disaster years, restore social order, and the people can survive.

Moreover, in the hands of the Western Wei Kingdom, there were also drought-tolerant crops such as corn and sweet potatoes.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan is still very confident that he will gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong and recover Guanzhong.

Shangzhou, as the first stop after entering the customs from Nanyang and entering Wuguan, a large number of refugees were resettled here.

At this time, in a ruined Shangqiu City, shantytowns were everywhere, and the Shangzhou Mansion of the Western Wei State was also among the shantytowns.

Gao Yihuan did not let people inform the officials in the yamen, and came directly to the shantytown surrounded by cavalry.

However, nearly 100 horsemen rushed suddenly, even if Gao Yihuan did not raise the flag and dressed in ordinary clothes, he still alarmed the officials in the shantytown.

At this time, before Gao Yihuan and the others approached the shantytown, an official wearing a black official robe led several subordinates to greet him.

The official was about to ask a question, but after seeing the person who came, he immediately trotted forward and saluted with a surprised face, "Minister Zhou Zhongda, meet the king!" “

Gao Yihuan listened to him report his name, frowned slightly, and remembered that his subordinates seemed to have such a person, he turned over and dismounted, helped Zhou Zhizhou up, and said with a smile: "The lonely king went to Xi'an, passing by here, take a look casually, Zhou Qing don't make a noise!" “

Saying that the cavalry behind him had already dismounted, Gao Yihuan saw that the sky was getting dark, and the refugees who were busy going out had already returned, and were gathering in an open space in the middle of the shantytown, when he heard the sound of music, he asked with a smile: "The art team of the Ministry of Rites is also here?" “

Zhou Zhongda immediately said: "The king of Huiyu is the art team, they have been in Shangzhou for a month, and the surrounding resettlement points have been run through, which has played a great role in stabilizing people's hearts and improving the morale of refugees for the government. “

A figure appeared in Gao Yihuan's mind, and said with a smile: "Let's go, take the lonely king to see!" “

"Minister, let people arrange it!" Zhou Zhongda said busily.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand and walked forward, "There is no need to make any arrangements, the literary team is here to appease the people, not to appease the lonely king, don't alarm the people, let them watch the performance with peace of mind." “

Zhou Zhongda nodded hurriedly yes, accompanied Gao Yihuan on foot, and walked in the direction where the music came from.

Along the way, Gao Yihuan asked Zhou Zhongda about the resettlement of refugees, Shangzhou was the first place to accept refugees, and the first batch of resettled people had been living here for three months, and they had basically adapted to it, and they were all looking forward to a bumper harvest in the autumn and living back to their previous lives.

As he was talking, the group had arrived at a vacant lot in the middle of the shantytown, in the middle of which was a wooden platform, with a musical instrument team on it, and a girl from the art team.

Gao Yihuan and his entourage squeezed into the crowd, and saw that the heads of people in front of them were weaving, the voices were boiling, and the heads of people with turbans were dangling, and they all watched the performance above attentively.

Gao Yihuan looked left and right, and saw several young men, looking directly at the girl on the stage, and their eyes were about to fall.

The surrounding girls, looking at the literary and artistic team on the stage, especially the woman in the middle, couldn't help but shine brightly in their eyes, as if they were looking forward to emitting light like the women on the stage.

Gao Yihuan saw Chen Yuanyuan on the stage at a glance, her fair face was a little flushed, her face was raised upward, a little less weak, but a little more heroic and confident, that beauty, so that ordinary men did not dare to look directly, but Gao Yihuan was naturally not an ordinary person, his eyes looked up and down without hesitation, from his face to his chest, and then to Yingying's waist, and finally to his legs.

Chen Yuanyuan, who was preparing on stage, seemed to feel his gaze, and when she looked up, she was slightly stunned, so she bit her lip lightly, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of spring, and she glanced at him with all kinds of charm, and then stopped looking at Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed instantly, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Speaking of this literary team, Gao Yihuan also has a headache, he just cultivated a batch, and after a turn in the army, a group of brutes in the army took advantage of his power to coax and deceive, take his wife and take his concubine, and get all the good seedlings home.

Especially that Zhao Daxian, he took two concubines by himself and demolished them all for him.

As soon as a person gains power, it is easy to be corrupt, Gao Yihuan has already considered that the issue of personal style will be included in the evaluation standards of officials, and it is okay to take concubines, but not too much.

At this time, the singing sound sounded on the stage, Chen Yuanyuan's round head was raised slightly, his jade hand stretched out diagonally, and the melodious singing voice sounded, "A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the rice and flowers on both banks." My family lives on the shore, I am used to hearing the captain's horn, and I am used to seeing the white sails on the ship~~~~ This is the beautiful Great Wei, where I grew up, in this vast land, there are bright scenery everywhere~~~"

At the end of the performance, a bonfire was lit in the open space, and the Wei soldiers hunted game and put it on the fire to barbecue.

When it was dark, Gao Yihuan and the guards spent the night in Shangzhou, and the girl of the literary team was called to the camp, and Gao Yihuan personally commended her.

Everyone gathered together, eating game, singing songs, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

The soldiers of the guard battalion, when they saw the girls of the art team, were also very well-behaved, and they were all very gentle.

There was also a situation in the army where the officers insulted the literary team, and the Qing army who committed the crime was directly cut down by Gao Yihuan, and the generals in the army knew that they couldn't mess around, even if they were happy with each other, they had to send the report to the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, many tents were set up in the open space, the sky was full of stars, the girls of the literary team sang around the bonfire, and Gao Yihuan walked with Chen Yuanyuan, "What, Miss Chen, what do you think of the lyrics and songs composed by the lonely king?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan chuckled: "It's good, it's good, and the artistic conception is there, but it's too vulgar." ”

Gao Yihuan stopped, looked at Chen Yuanyuan, straightened his face, and said with a straight face behind his back: "Yuanyuan girl, the lonely king must criticize you today, the responsibility of you literary and artistic workers is to use popular things to influence and educate the people, not to please a small frustration of pretentious literati." Are these lyrics vulgar? Literary and artistic work must go deep among the masses and inspire the morale of the people, rather than just singing to a few people. You're going to figure out that you're working on a mission! ”

Chen Yuanyuan was slightly stunned, and once again felt Gao Yihuan's lofty ideological realm and talent.

Suddenly, her eyes were a little confused, and her breathing was disordered, "King, hold the slave!" ”

At the banquet, Chen Yuanyuan drank some wine, Gao Yihuan smelled the fragrance, condescending, seeing the white skin like mutton fat and white jade under the moonlight, as well as the bulge on his chest, he subconsciously swallowed saliva, and his hands were about to reach over, but suddenly he thought that he was about to marry the princess, is it not very scum to be lonely~
