After spending two days in Huairen County, where there are only four squares and a total population of less than 600, Du Shisanniang learned that her sister-in-law gave birth to a son for her brother. Therefore, since Princess Gu'an sent someone to pick her up, after discussing with Cui Jianxuan, she immediately rushed to Yunzhou with a pair of children. This is the first time she has left Liangjing and walked so far, the scene of poverty and whiteness in Huairen County before was certainly heart-heavy, but as soon as she arrived in Yunzhou, the city wall outside the city was towering, majestic and solemn, and the city was full of traffic and prosperity, she was surprised and proud.

This is the Yunzhou built by his brother

The carriage was on the street, because in addition to the people coming and going on the road, the most was the carriage, Du Sanniang couldn't help but be suspicious. The price of horses in Liangjing is very expensive, even if Yunzhou is a border fortress, and it is in the same market with the Xi people and the Turks, but the horses should use more combat horses, how can there be so many carriages? Because Zhang Yao personally picked her up this time, she had no choice but to ask this question.

"It turns out that the lady is curious about this, but in fact, it is very simple to say." Zhang Yao has already been released by Princess Gu'an, but the master and servant are affectionate, she has no intention of leaving her master to live elsewhere, plus she is in charge of the most elite wolf guard around Princess Gu'an, her insight is by no means inferior to Huo Qing next to Princess Yuzhen. At this time, she sorted out her thoughts, and she began to talk eloquently.

"Historically, the inhabitants of the city, officials, scholars, merchants, and laborers, although there were peasants, they were by no means the mainstream, because the peasants wanted to cultivate conveniently, and most of them would build houses next to the land allocated to them. But in today's Yunzhou, almost all farmers live in the city. Seeing that Du Sanniang had an understanding, Zhang Yao continued to explain, "This is because after Yunzhou City was broken by Mosi, it was abandoned for forty years, and the people who migrated to Yunzhou were of course to divide the land in Yunzhou, the officials gave seeds, and lent cattle to ploughing cattle. ”

Du Sanniang had already vaguely understood the meaning of Zhang Yao's words: "Therefore, there was only one county in Yunzhou at first, that is, Yunzhong County, and outside of Yunzhong County, there were not even any villages and towns?" I'm afraid this kind of carriage was specially set up by my brother to make it easier for farmers to enter and exit? However, the cost of these horses is not a small number, and the rest of the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion has no objections? ”

"How could it not be, Guo Senjun has always complained that Du Changshi knows how to spend money, even if he receives a penny symbolically, it is good to subsidize it, and as a result, Du Changshi will go back. Du Changshi said that although it does not matter to officials, it is true that for farmers who live hard, saving one penny a day is 360 yuan a year, and adding more is enough to buy a pig. For Yunzhou, horses that can't be used for war horses, even if they are sold, are not worth much, and they are simply used as public carriages, so that in the case of Yunzhou not building villages and towns for the time being, farmers can have a lot more convenience. Those carriages are certainly not as comfortable as ours, and they have to be stuffed with more people, but they are better than two legs. However, Du Changshi still instructed that it must not be overloaded, otherwise the accident must be investigated to the end."

These new terms made Du Sanniang feel excited. She has always felt that her brother is the kindest and smartest person, and reality has proven it. To be able to build Yunzhou into what it is today on such a weak foundation, in addition to what he heard, Brother Ah must have used countless brains in other areas

In the study in the backyard of the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion, Du Shiyi gathered the people he trusted the most as usual to discuss the open-pit coal mining that Wang Fanglie had found. For this kind of fresh resource, a personal biography looks at the black thing, although the well-read such as Wang Han has also seen the corresponding records, but really seeing the real thing is another matter, and Cui Hao obviously has not recovered from Du Shiyi's righteous and strict reprimand, and after looking at it for a while, he absentmindedly handed it to Luo Ying on the side, but Luo Ying was snatched away by Yue Wuniang before he could take a closer look.

"This charcoal is a good thing, you know, logging for wages, burning for charcoal, these two processes can only be completed, but now it only takes one step, what else do you have to hesitate?"

As soon as Yue Wuniang's words came out, Guo Quanden was helpless. This unreasonable Yue Niangzi is the most elusive in the entire Yunzhou Group, Princess Gu'an is to avoid suspicion, and does not participate in the deliberations when she is idle, and Wang Rong does not want to bear the reputation of a woman in politics, only Yue Wuniang is not afraid of people's words, and she can come if she wants.

At this moment, he had to come up with the reason he had told Wang Fanglie, but before he could tell Du Shiyi's opinion, the next moment, Yue Wuniang raised her eyebrows and said: "What's there to worry about, the population of Yunzhou can't use so much, but doesn't Youzhou need it?" The last time I went to Dingzhou to see General Pei, he also mentioned that Dingzhou is an important town, and the amount of charcoal used is huge, and the trees near the Beiping Army are about to be cut down. ”

In today's era, what is said about forest protection and soil erosion, this kind of thinking that is too advanced will definitely be regarded as a madman and a fool, so Du Shiyi has no intention of coming up with this kind of argument at all. But Pei Tan, a martial artist, would look at it like this, he couldn't help but be secretly amazed in his heart, however, what was even more amazing was Yue Wuniang's extremely fast-moving thinking.

So, he immediately smiled and said, "What Mrs. Yue said, that's what I want to say." Miao Liulang told me before that the Yuhe River will be navigable in a few days, but because this waterway has a lot of sediment, and it is likely to be cut off for several months every year, we must hurry up these months. The most convenient thing for carboniferous is water transportation, so Youzhou is naturally the safest choice. But this matter is not small, someone has to go to Youzhou. ”

If Wang Rong was not sitting on the throne and had just gotten a son, Du Shiyi would naturally trust his wife's ability and skill. Princess Gu'an's identity is too sensitive, and now is not the time when Yunzhou is short of food, so it is not good to run around casually. As for the others......

He was thinking about it, and suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door outside: "Du Changshi, the lady of Cui Ming's Mansion has arrived." ”

Cui Mingfu's wife...... Du Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted - it was actually her sister Du Shisanniang who arrived in Yunzhou? How did it come about? Who's going to pick it up?

The others were also wondering or surprised, Chen Bao'er, who had been full of shorthand, raised her head, but said softly: "I heard that your lord sent Zhang Niangzi out, maybe it was your lord who picked it up." Didn't Du Shi just say that someone had to go to Youzhou? How about Du Niangzi and Yue Niangzi go together? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yue Wuniang, who was already eager to try, her eyes lit up, and Guo Quan said even more: "That's right, none of us can get out, but women are different." Du Niangzi is careful, Yue Niangzi is bold and bold, this complements each other, isn't it the most haode match? However, you have to ask Cui Mingfu's consent first, and you can't come back in three or two days. ”

And Wang Han said thoughtfully: "If I remember correctly, Du Changshi's uncle, last year's collection of officials seemed to have gained something, and Ren was the Youzhou where he stayed before." ”

"Okay, good, my thirteen mothers have just arrived, and you are all worried about it"

Du Shiyi was angry and funny, but she was moved in her heart. His wife can't go out, but Du Sanniang, as his sister and the wife of Huairen Ling Cui Jianxuan, should be qualified for this heavy identity. Of course, he didn't say yes or no at this moment, he gave the order to disperse first, and hurried out.

When the others were about to leave, Yue Wuniang came to Chen Bao'er with an arrow step, and said with a smile: "Bao'er is good, such a good thing has to think of your Aunt Yue first, and I will find a few out-of-print ancient books for you when I go back."

Chen Bao'er saw that Yue Wuniang was about to touch her head with the shelf of her elders, so she hurriedly dodged to the side and said curtly: "I just said it casually, and I have to agree with Master Du." ”

"He has no one to call, I won't go, he is relieved to let his baby sister go to the kind of place in Hebei alone?" Yue Wuniang snorted confidently, turned her head and saw Luo Ying quietly slipping away with her forehead in her hand, she moved two steps sideways, blocking in front of him, and asked with a smile, "What, Luo Lang, you don't want me to go?" ”

The word Luo Lang, Luo Ying has not heard it a few times since he hugged the beauty, and when he heard this sweet and greasy title, he instinctively shuddered. When his eyes glanced at Hou Xiyi again, hoping to help him make a round to get out, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the unrighteous guy turned out to be the fastest one to slip away Not only Hou Xiyi, Wang Han, Guo Quan, Cui Hao, everyone walked fast, Wang Han even turned around and made a gesture to him asking for more blessings. At this moment, he had no choice but to say, "Am I not worried about any danger on the road?" ”

"What danger? No matter how dangerous it is, how dangerous can it be when I go to the Turkic tent? ”

Didn't I stop you at all?

Under his wife's gaze, the unreasonable little monk was extremely depressed, and he didn't notice that Chen Baoer also crept through the back door.

And when Du Shiyi hurried to the backyard, she happened to collide with Du Shisanniang, who had just seen her sister-in-law and nephew from Wang Rong's delivery room. Although the brother and sister have been separated for more than a year, seeing Du Sanniang's increasingly plump and sweet facial features, Du Shiyi couldn't help but think of the little girl who was so stubborn that she admitted death. He walked forward quickly, hugged it directly in his arms as in the old days, and let go of the back for a while before he smiled happily: "Thirteen Niang, this time I have to help me solve problems with Cui Shiyi." ”

Although it was not polite to hug each other, Du Sanniang only felt that it should be. Hearing her brother's first words when they met, she almost didn't think about it and calmly agreed: "That's natural, Cui Lang has been overjoyed since he knew that he was going to come to Yunzhou, and I am the same brother, we can finally help you."
