Chapter 81: Chang'an Rebellion
"Congratulations to the general, happy Lin'er!" When Ye Zhao hurried back to the Hussar Mansion, he saw several stable women coming up and said with a smile: "Mother and son are safe." ”
"Son?" When Ye Zhao heard this, his heart sank a little.
made an appointment with Cai Yong at the beginning, this Cai Yan's first child is to be surnamed Cai Yong, to continue the Cai family's incense, in Ye Zhao's expectations, this child is best to be a daughter, so that Cai Yong will have an explanation, and he doesn't have to be embarrassed.
But now that Cai Yan has given birth to a son, there are some things that Ye Zhao has to consider.
Inheriting the incense of the Cai family means that this child has just been born, and the future has basically been decided, and after a hundred years of Ye Zhao, it is impossible for this child to inherit Ye Zhao's foundation.
"I've worked hard, let's go get the reward." This thought just turned in his mind, but Ye Zhao didn't show too much emotion on his face, and said to several stable women with a smile.
"Oh, General Xie!" Several stable women happily ran to the hussar mansion to receive the reward.
Ye Zhao strode into the room.
Cai Yong has arrived, and he is holding the baby in his arms and teasing with a smile, looking at Cai Yong's appearance, Ye Zhao's heart suddenly calmed down a lot, his mentor and father-in-law, since last year, he rarely smiles.
"See father-in-law." Ye Zhao bowed to Cai Yong and said.
"Let's go see Yan'er." Cai Yong nodded, the dissatisfaction with Ye Zhao that had occurred before because of Ye Zhao's various calculations of the royal family had also dissipated a lot at this moment.
"Hmm." Ye Zhao nodded and walked to the bed, Cai Yan was a little weak, and his clothes were still a little scattered, Ye Zhao gently tidied up the placket on his chest: "Madame has worked hard." ”
"The concubine is not hard." The hair on the sideburns has been wet with sweat, sticking to the face, and the pale face is a little less cold than before, a little more maternal tenderness, and it seems to have more mature charm.
Ye Zhao stretched out his hand to help Cai Yan up and stopped him in his arms.
"Husband...... Dirty ......" Cai Yan was in front of her father, Rao is that she has always been relatively pure-hearted, and she can't help but be a little shy at the moment.
Just after giving birth, there is still a strong smell of amniotic fluid and a faint fishy smell on the body, which is really not very good.
"It's okay!" Ye Zhao shook his head with a smile, looked up at Cai Yong and said with a smile: "I promised my father-in-law that the first son with Zhao Ji was changed to the surname Cai, and now this child is the grandson of my father-in-law, I wonder if my father-in-law has ever thought of a good name?" ”
"Thought!" Cai Yong smiled, looked at the child in his arms, and thought: "Shangshu has clouds, full of losses, humble benefits, benefits, forgiveness; The Lu family has clouds in the spring and autumn, his family will benefit, his body will be glorious, and there will be ......"
Cai Yong quoted the scriptures for a long time, and said with a smile: "What does Xiu Ming think?" ”
Cai Yi? Ye Zhao didn't feel anything, his son's name couldn't be changed, but Cai Yong was happy, and Ye Zhao naturally wouldn't brush Cai Yong's meaning, nodded and smiled: "Very good." ”
"Husband......" Cai Yan looked at Ye Zhao with some concern, the woman's mind is more keen, and she can feel Ye Zhao's mood at the moment, and she is not as happy as she seems.
"It doesn't matter." Ye Zhao hugged Cai Yan and said in a low voice: "After a few years, Madame's health will be better, we will have another one." ”
"Hmm." Cai Yan bowed his head gently, the ancients attached great importance to the continuation of incense for future generations, and it was rare to give birth to a son, but his father took it to inherit the incense of the Cai family, which is not a good thing for Cai Yan.
For Ye Zhao and Cai Yan's first son with the surname Cai, many people under Ye Zhao's command have a lot of complaints, after all, Ye Zhao's son will inherit the family business in the future, how can he change his surname, but Ye Zhao already has a son, although there are some whispers in this regard, but no one really came to advise, this is Ye Zhao's family background, but some people sigh Ye Zhao's generosity and virtue, and they can't help but feel sorry for this son, since he changed his surname Cai, he will inherit the mantle of the Cai family in the future, that is to say, this child has been born since birth, has already cut off the opportunity to become Ye Zhao's heir, which is really regrettable, and many people secretly say that Cai Yong doesn't know anything.
After all, even if Ye Zhao and Cai Yan are in love, it is impossible to guarantee that they will have another son, Ye Zhao is now a prince, and he may even be crowned king in the future, Cai Yanping's wife is slightly lower than the main room, and now that his son has been changed his surname, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the princess in the future.
On the same day, Ye Zhao set up a banquet in the mansion, feasted his subordinates, and celebrated the birth of Lin'er, even if he changed his surname, it was his own flesh and blood, and the connection between the bloodlines could not be severed.
This is also counted as another happy event after the harvest.
The year is approaching, for most of the people in Shu, this year may be the richest in their lives, Ye Zhao's agricultural tax, plus the magical effect of manure, as long as it is not too lazy, this idea, the entire people in Shu can be said to have no need to worry about hunger in winter, after selecting high-quality seeds, the remaining grain is enough for them to be rich until next year's harvest.
Although Ye Zhao has been in Shu for a short time, the people's support for the new lord of Yizhou is far greater than before.
In October, the general's office issued an official document that the people could use their money and grain to exchange for a calf or chicken to raise in the nearest government, and the government also had a special help to explain how to raise these animals to achieve the highest efficiency, in addition, the workshops also began to take advantage of this year's harvest to promote the craftsmen made of a variety of new agricultural tools, iron hoes, improved bent wood ploughs, sickles, seeders.
In short, after a year of precipitation, the traders who established workshops in Shuzhong began to exert their strength, and after the people had abundant surplus grain, this consumption level also began to rise.
Although the price of cattle is relatively high, some people with good harvests still grit their teeth and buy one or two, either to breed and sell them again in the next year, or to domesticate them into farming cattle to reduce the burden of farming.
Today's Shuzhong market still has enough potential to be tapped, Ye Zhao is not in a hurry to communicate with the outside, after the saturation of this cycle in Shuzhong, Ye Zhao will consider starting to open up private trade on a large scale outside Shuzhong, and now it is only the caravan formed by Ye Zhao to sell and buy some scarce resources that are not in Shu, such as iron, salt, etc., which is also a reason why Ye Zhao is willing to maintain friendly diplomacy with Guanzhong, before preparing to leave Shu, Ye Zhao needs a stable trade environment.
In fact, not only Guanzhong, when he married Cai Yan, Ye Zhao had already connected with the Jingzhou family through Kuaiyue, although it was not like Guanzhong to reach a complete agreement, but some ordinary trade exchanges, the Jingzhou Shi clan would not embarrass him.
However, compared with the stability and tranquility in Shuzhong, Guanzhong is a different situation.
In July, Wang Yun continued to suppress and coerce, and finally completely angered the Xiliang generals such as Li Dao and Guo Yan who were in a desperate situation, and hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops counterattacked Chang'an, but the garrison of Chang'an at that time was only less than 30,000.
Chang'an has since fallen into the control of the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang army only knows the destruction, does not know how to govern, after losing the constraints of the imperial court, it began to wreak havoc in the land of Sanfu like a wild horse, a large number of people fled to Shuzhong for refuge, which is also a reason for the population of Shuzhong this year.
Up to now, Wang Yun's remnants have basically been wiped out by Li Guo and the others, but the land of Jingzhao has basically been abolished.
Li Ru sat behind the bookcase, frowning and recording some important expenses and inputs, but the more he recorded, the more annoying he became.
Li Dao and Guo Yan lacked enough strategists to help them, so they found Li Ru and asked Li Ru to help govern, but now Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong, after this battle, is no longer the Chang'an in the hands of Dong Zhuo in the past, and the people are rushing to flee, or take refuge in Shu, or go south to the land of Jingxiang, and some run to the Central Plains.
In just a few months, the population that Dong Zhuo had worked so hard to migrate from Sili had been almost exhausted, and if this momentum continues, more people will leave next year.
It was a good thing for the Xiliang Army to counterattack Chang'an and regain the Son of Heaven, but today's Chang'an is no longer the Chang'an when Dong Zhuo was alive.
"Sir, there is a woman outside the door who asks to see him, talking about Mr.'s deceased." The guards of the guards looked at Li Ru with a strange gaze, these guards were all men and horses sent by Li Dao and Guo Yan to protect Li Ru, saying that they were protecting, but in fact, they were more to monitor Li Ru's whereabouts.
"Woman? Old friend? When Li Ru heard this, he raised his head in astonishment, looked at the guards and said, "What does it look like?" ”
"This woman is masked with a hat, and she can't see clearly, but her voice is still good." The guard smiled a little cheaply, and people couldn't help but want to stomp on that face.
"Did you leave your name?" Li Ru didn't bother with the guards, but asked.
"I only said that my surname was Zhang, and I also said that I would know it when I told my husband." The guard bowed.
"......" Li Ru looked at the guards speechlessly, the surname Zhang is a big surname, he knows a lot of surnames Zhang, who knows which one?
"Call her in." Rubbing his temples with a little headache, Li Ru nodded.
Now his freedom has been restricted by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and in a short time, even if he wants to leave, he can't go.
Soon, the guard came in with a woman in a black robe, and after the guard left, the woman casually took off the hat on her head, revealing a hideous bronze mask, and at the same time saluted Li Ru and said, "The last general, Zhang Yue, has seen Mr. Wen Wei." ”
The moment the woman took off the hat, Li Ru was shocked, not that he recognized this woman, but that he recognized this bronze mask, Ye Zhao had always had a woman beside him with a bronze mask with a green face and fangs, so it seems that Ye Zhao's hand has reached Guanzhong?
"Why are you here?" Li Ru looked at Zhang Yue and took a deep breath
