Princess Pingyang's sparse performance was finally sent! Before the arrival of Yuan Zheng and the sage sealed the pen, the court finally discussed the result.

The sage issued an edict and enshrined Princess Pingyang of Anguo as the head of the Jiangnan Water Division, and prepared to build a water division in Huangzhou, with 100,000 soldiers, and the general military affairs in the Jiangnan area. The imperial decree abolished the governors of Yuezhou, Taizhou, Wenzhou, and Hangzhou, and reduced the number of soldiers to fill the water division, and the military affairs of these four states were replaced by the water division.

Xue Lang also took over a hand, in view of Xue Lang's credit for providing Zhancheng rice, pardoning his exile, and ordering Xue Lang to take up the post of newly established superintendent of agriculture on the spot, overseeing the trial planting and promotion of Zhancheng rice.

The edict was sent by Pei Yunzhao personally, and after Xue Lang received the edict, he smiled and bowed his hand to Xue Lang: "Congratulations to Xue Yuma for escaping from the body of a sinner!" ”

After Xue Lang thanked him, he said, "I thought that Brother Jing Xi and I were already friends, how could I still be called Youyang when I was exiled, and when I regained my freedom, I became a colt?" ”

Pei Yunzhao said: "The upper and lower levels are humble and can't be ignored." In the past, it was an expedient measure to call the horse by the word table, but now that the horse has been exonerated from the crime, how can Yun Zhao still be so ignorant! ”

Xue Lang Zhengse said: "In the past, I took care of Brother Jing Xi, I regarded Brother Jing Xi as a friend, why is Brother Jing Xi like this?" Am I not a person who has a beginning and an end, and does not forget the original intention? ”

Pei Yunzhao saw Xue Lang's sincerity and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Youyang!" ”

Xue Lang smiled and said, "That's right!" Speaking of which, finally there is no need for the princess to run between the two places, every time the princess goes to Taizhou, I have to take my little baby away, I can only endure it, now I can move to Taizhou, and wait for the spring of next year, when it is the season of rice sowing, I will come again. ”

Pei Yunzhao's eyes lit up, and he said, "So it's decided, the gentleman is quick to say a word?" ”

How much this person cares about the promotion of Champa rice!

Xue Lang smiled and nodded: "Got it!" Rest assured, while it is not yet season, you can do the preliminary work first, count the fields that are willing to try planting, and wait for the end of the Yuanzheng, about February to start sowing, and around April to plant seedlings. ”

Pei Yunzhao nodded, asked Xue Lang for some details, and left with unconcealed joy.

After Pei Yunzhao left, Xue Lang also announced happily: "Chang Jian, pack up, prepare the boat, we are ready to go to Taizhou to reunite with the princess!" ”

Changjian happily agreed: "Oh! ”

Xue Lang received the edict here, and when Princess Pingyang got the message, it naturally arrived faster than the edict. As soon as the imperial proposal was passed, and the imperial decree had not yet been issued, Princess Pingyang knew everything about it, and left for Taizhou in advance, leaving Xue Lang to reunite with her after receiving the imperial decree.

Princess Pingyang went to Taizhou in advance, in order to do the work of preparing for the construction of the water division in advance. Although the imperial decree was issued, it was only an empty system, and there was still a lot of work to be done in the early stage.

Before the conscription of soldiers, a barracks must be built; As a sailor, you also need to build a dock in advance; At the same time, shipyards must also be established, otherwise, how can you call a sailor if there are no soldiers and no ships! Princess Pingyang has no intention of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and she is not that kind of person, saying that she is preparing to build a water division, she is really a water division, but in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the training of land combat ability must also be taken into account.

Princess Pingyang was thinking in her heart, while writing at the desk, writing for a while and then pausing for a while, and after a little thought, she continued to write, obviously making a plan.

"Qi Yu lady, Chai's Chai Hong posted a post to ask to see."

Princess Pingyang held the hand of the pen and paused: "Chai Hong? ”

Chu Xue reminded in a low voice on the side: "Lady, Chai is the eldest son of the Chai family and the eldest brother of Chai Tong." ”

Princess Pingyang was reminded by Chu Xueyi, thought about it, put down the pen, and said indifferently: "The principal of the Chai family staying in Hangzhou? The future patriarch? ”

"Exactly."

Chu Xue replied, reminding by the way: "Before the lady came to the future, the horse was alone at this time, but on the New Year's Day, the Chai family also sent people to give gifts. ”

"Can I get someone to visit the colt?"

"Never!"

Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "Lead to the living room, and I'll be there after I change my clothes." ”

"Whoa."

Princess Pingyang went back to the back to change her clothes and walked slowly to the living room, where a man in his early thirties sat on the couch and heard the attendant report: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived!" ”

hurriedly saluted: "The grass people Chai Hong greeted Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and asked the eldest princess for peace." ”

Princess Pingyang raised her right hand lightly and said, "Brother Hong is exempt from courtesy, I haven't seen him for many years, and Brother Hong's demeanor is better than in the past, which is really a blessing." ”

Hearing that Princess Pingyang was still thinking about the old love, Chai Hong's expression immediately relaxed a little, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness has a good reputation, the grass people are already wrinkled, their sideburns are white, and they are not confused when they are approaching." ”

After a few greetings, Chai Hong said: "Speaking of which, the grass people should come to visit as soon as possible, but they are afraid of being abrupt, so they have endured the future." Now that the sage has ordered His Royal Highness to lead the Jiangnan Water Division, the grass people have the courage to pay a visit. I haven't congratulated His Highness yet, and a mere salute is not a tribute! ”

As he spoke, he handed over the gift slip. Princess Pingyang glanced at Chu Xue, who took it and then retreated behind her master, standing respectfully. Princess Pingyang said indifferently: "I am fortunate to share my father's worries, it is really a blessing for this palace, thank you Brother Hong." ”

Chai Hong smiled and said, "How dare you be Your Highness's thanks!" Speaking of which, since the horse came to Yuezhou, the grass people did not dare to take the liberty, and they had not yet seen it, so I don't know if the horse could be in the house, whether they were fortunate enough to meet it? ”

Princess Pingyang said: "It's a pity, the horse is still in Yuezhou, but he didn't arrive in Taizhou, and he didn't have the opportunity to get together with Brother Hong." ”

Chai Hong said with regret: "Really? That's a shame. The grass people heard that the horse was appointed by the saint to supervise the agricultural affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, and my Chai family now only depends on the land to live, and the horse can be the saint to supervise the agricultural official, and I think it should be proficient in agricultural affairs, if I can get the guidance of the horse, I will be honored and grateful. ”

Princess Pingyang didn't lift her eyelids, and said calmly: "The sage appointed the eunuch to supervise the agricultural officials, but he is only to supervise the promotion and trial planting of Zhancheng rice, not to be in charge of Jiangnan farming. ”

"Champa rice? But the new grain that the Japanese fleet brought back some time ago? ”

"Exactly."

"It turns out that the colt is in charge of this matter."

After that, Chai Hong no longer mentioned the matter, but turned to say: "Some time ago, His Highness's fleet returned to Hong Kong, but it made Wu Di a sensation. The grass people heard that when the fleet returned, His Royal Highness rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and even ordinary sailors got a golden bean, and it was really enviable to make such a generous shot. ”

Princess Pingyang remained silent, pretending to be proud and said: "The fleet is far away, dangerous and abnormal, this trip, I have lost a lot of manpower, these people promised me with their lives, I can't spare the reward." Meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who are loyal and brave should be rewarded. ”

Chai Hong praised: "His Royal Highness acts as he did at the beginning, and his good life is admirable. Speaking of which, I don't dare to hide it from Your Highness, now that my Chai family is full of families, I can only make a living from the fields, and I have no property with much money, and my family is very difficult. Atong entered Beijing, and it cost a lot. Although my Chai clan is no longer prosperous at the beginning, but in this Wu land, there is still a bit of popularity, if His Royal Highness is useful, Chai clan will be repaid by smearing the liver and brain. ”

Princess Pingyang paused, looked up at Chai Hong, the hall was silent for a while, Chai Hong didn't dare to look at her, and quickly bowed her head. I heard Princess Pingyang say: "If you talk about employing people, there are difficulties now. ”

Chai Hong's lowered face had a hint of joy, and he hurriedly said, "The grass people are willing to relieve His Highness's worries." ”

Princess Pingyang asked: "The Chai family is in Hangzhou, how much is the field?" ”

Chai Hong was stunned, with a bitter face, and his tone was very pitiful: "I don't dare to hide it from Your Highness, the Chai family is in Hangzhou, and the land is not more than 1,000 acres, but there are still clansmen to feed, and life is very poor." If the harvest is not in place, some of the people will go hungry. ”

"Oh, so strained?"

"That's it."

Chai Hong's tone was pitiful. Princess Pingyang took the opportunity to say: "In this case, why not allocate 700 acres to try to plant Zhancheng rice when sowing in spring next year?" ”

Chai Hong was dumbfounded!
