Chapter 196: Of course it's a lie!
Li Yu glanced back at Pyongyang City, and in a blink of an eye, it was the second autumn in Andong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the crisp autumn weather, Li Yu hunted and called Xin'er and his daughters, Xue Jun and other cronies to go out of the city on horseback, wanting to hunt in the mountains and forests outside the city.
The two little white tigers obtained by hunting outside the city in the early autumn of last year were half as long, and Xin'er and Ling'er happily took the two cute little white tigers Xue Jin and Xue Lin for a walk in the forest.
It may be that Li Yu brought too many people and horses with him this time to hunt, and most of the prey in the mountains and forests fled knowing that the danger was approaching, and they didn't hunt any prey at the end of the day, but the autumn scenery in the forest took care of it.
A safari turned into an autumn safari, with the safari team taking a dip through the leafy mountains and forests of northern Pyongyang.
As night fell, Li Yu chose to camp in the mountains and forests, and the Goguryeo rebels around Pyongyang were eliminated, so he did not have to worry about danger.
For the sake of safety, Xue Ne still set up light and dark sentry two miles around the camp, and when he found it, he fired arrows to warn him.
On the fire in the camp, several deer, wild boar, and pheasants caught during the day are roasted under the exquisite cooking skills of the chef of Yanwangfu, which is sparkling with oil on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is mouth-watering.
The two little white tigers lay on their stomachs beside Xin'er and Yang Shiyan, enjoying the girls caressing its supple fur, and staring at the barbecue meat with an intoxicating aroma on the fire in front of them.
Yang Shiyan and the girls chattered about things of interest, from the latest night perfume from the Baihua Pavilion of Yanwangfu to the recent collection of ten Dongzhu pearls with the size and brightness of pigeon eggs, and then to the newspaper reported in the newspaper that had just been sent from Chang'an about the farewell to the exiled Helan Min outside the city of Pingkangfang Sanqu Niangzi.
The melodious laughter of the girls came and went, adding a bit of joy and joy to the camp.
Yang Shiyan touched the supple fur of the little white tiger, looked at the copper bell tiger eyes that stared at the barbecue with straight eyes, patted Xin'er's little waist and smiled: "Haha!" Xin'er, if you don't give Xue Jin and Xue Lin a piece of meat, these two little guys will have to rebel! Look at the eyes of these two divine beasts, they are all green when they are hungry! ”
"Huh? I'll see! Xin'er touched the heads of the two little white tigers soothingly, the little white tigers stared at the barbecue with their eyes hooked, turned around and whispered to Xin'er to express their dissatisfaction, looking more resentful and resentful, as if to say, why don't you give me the barbecue in front of you?
"Sister Xin'er, Xue Jin and Xue Lin are really hungry!" Ling'er and Mei'er touched the two little white tigers distressedly, and said comforting words to the little white tiger again and again.
"Sister Xin'er, I'll go cut a big deer leg for Xue Jin and Xue Lin and come back." Xing'er pulled out the bright and dangling long sword from her waist with a bang, a typical eight-sided sword of the Han Dynasty, flashing with a long cold light under the light of the fire.
Ling'er and Mei'er beside Xing'er were taken aback, and the long sword in Xing'er's hand slashed directly in front of them, what if they accidentally scratched their faces and broke their faces?
Ling'er and Mei'er raised their eyebrows and blamed Xing'er for their hairy hands and feet, Xin'er gave Xing'er a reproachful look and told her to be careful next time she drew her sword.
Xing'er's slightly apologetic smile nodded quickly, indicating that she must be careful next time, and walked to the grill with a long sword and cut off the deer's hind legs with a sword and carried it back.
Looking at Xing'er's heroic posture, graceful figure, and big grinning actions, Li Yu shook his head with a smile, and raised his glass to drink with Li Yuan, Xue Jun, Xue Ne and other cronies.
After drinking, Li Yu looked at the secluded mountains under the night and sighed thinking about the road ahead.
Xue Jun, Zhang Shi and the others glanced at each other, puzzled why His Highness sighed.
Xue Jun waved the feather fan in his hand and asked: "Your Highness, there are a lot of prey hunting today, the autumn colors in the mountains are very beautiful, the sky full of stars is also pleasing to the eye, there are delicious dishes on the face, and the body is a delicate lady, when it is time to indulge in joy, why does Your Highness sigh like this?" ”
Li Yu responded with a light smile: "I looked at the loneliness in the mountains, and I felt something in my heart, and suddenly thought that the current Antono region is sparsely populated, and there are many people around. If we cannot make the people of Anton prosperous, how can future generations hold on to it? ”
I didn't think that His Royal Highness would be worried about Anton's current lack of people and the future generations of future generations.
Xue Jun and the others also smiled faintly, not feeling why they sighed!
Li Yuanxuan said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and His Royal Highness is really worried." Children and grandchildren are incompetent, and no matter how thoughtful our ancestors are, it is useless! ”
"What Da Pu said is reasonable!" Li Yu smiled bitterly and toasted Li Yuan, but he was unconvinced in his heart, our ancestors didn't think about it for future generations, and hoped that the generation that grew up in a comfortable environment could defend the border wilderness surrounded by the four yiyi and eyeing the enemy?
Everyone saw Li Yu's appreciation of Li Yuan on the surface, but they were not convinced in their hearts.
Cui Yuqing, who is the head of the Anton Pioneer Group, laughed and said: "Li Changshi's words are not enough for the peace of all generations, and His Royal Highness's concern is the blessing of his descendants." ”
When Li Yuanyuan, who was in his forties, heard this, he blew his beard and stared at Cui Yuqing, and said angrily: "Dare to ask Cui Dayang Fu and his descendants' strategy?" ”
"Consolidate the foundation, multiply the descendants, and strengthen the foundation!" Cui Yuqing finished in one breath, and was quite complacent to pick up the wine glass and drink it all.
"What Mr. Cui said is reasonable, taking China as the foundation, and reproducing a large number of future generations, as the foundation for fixing the border wasteland. As long as there are many people, the proportion of talents among future generations will always be higher. As a subordinate of the Yan Wangfu, Zhang Weng, who was in charge of the affairs of the general judgment soldiers Cao, cavalry Cao, Fa Cao, and Shi Cao, smiled and appreciated.
"His Royal Highness is worried about the current shortage of people in Anton, although Mr. Cui's strategy is good, but it doesn't get to the point." Li Yuan snorted coldly and said eloquently.
"Anton is currently short of people, but it doesn't mean that there will still be a shortage of people in the next few years." Cui Yuqing smiled and said to Li Yuyu: "Your Highness, the imperial court sent 3,000 prisoners to Anton and 2,000 official slaves who were exempted from slavery, and after the organization of the Anton Pioneer Group, it will arrive in Duli Town in a few days, and there will be several batches to follow, and it is expected that 16,000 people will arrive in Anton by the end of this year." In the next few years, if nothing else, presumably the imperial court will still send Anton prisoners and exempted people from slavery, so will Anton still lack a solid base to reproduce the population in the future? ”
Li Yu looked overjoyed, and after waiting for more than half a year for the prisoners and official slaves promised by his father to send Anton, it was finally coming.
Regarding the imperial court's dispatch of prisoners and official slaves to Anton, except for Li Yu, who informed Cui Yuqing, the head of the development group, and Cui Xuan, the head of commerce of Yanwangfu, who were responsible for the repatriation of immigrants, after Li Yu returned to Andong from Chang'an, the other officials of the Duhu Mansion did not know, and Li Yuan and the others looked at the complacent Cui Yuqing in surprise.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Li Yu clapped his applause, looked at Cui Yuqing with great appreciation, and said with a smile: "Cui Dayang has done a good job in this matter, and the pioneer group should make persistent efforts to bring more immigrants from all over the Central Plains every year, in addition to the prisoners sent by the imperial court and the exempted officials and slaves." ”
The smile on Cui Yuqing's face froze, in addition to the prisoners and official slaves sent by the imperial court, more immigrants are brought in every year?
"Your Highness, the people of the Central Plains live and work in peace and contentment, and I'm afraid that more immigrants will be brought in?"
"There are many people who live and work in peace and contentment, but there are not a few displaced people who can escape the war in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and there are not a few displaced people who avoid taxes and military service and avoid the mountains and forests. At the beginning of the year, my father allowed me to move them into Anton's household. ”
"But Your Highness, these people don't respect the king's law and hide in the mountains and forests, how can we catch them out of the mountains and forests and move them into Anton?" Cui Yuqing was anxious, the displaced people in the mountains and forests were not so easy to provoke, and there were no large numbers of officers and soldiers who wanted to arrest them out of the mountains and forests, let alone forced emigration.
"Who said you want to use it?" Li Yu didn't have a good airway, if it worked, the imperial court would have sent troops into the mountains to arrest them and organize them into private households.
"So, what does Your Highness mean?"
"Of course it's a lie!"
"Liar?" Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, not knowing how to deceive.
