Chapter 80: The Hero

"Smack!" Qiao Xuan finally slapped the chess pieces in his hand on the corner of the chessboard.

Seeing Qiao Xuan put the chess pieces outside the chessboard, Liu Ye was dumbfounded and said, "Gong Qiao, you ......"

Qiao Xuan pushed the slam and said: "When the power inside the plate can't solve the problem, you can only rely on the power outside the plate, Ziyang, it's time for you to make a move." ”

Liu Ye's gaze froze slightly, and said, "What does Gong Qiao mean by this?" ”

Qiao Xuan sighed and said: "The situation is already obvious, as soon as Yan Xiang dies, there will be no more incompetent officials under the account, and Tuntian will be unsustainable, if the old man is not wrong, Gongzi is afraid that he can only give up Tuntian, and use the grain obtained from the sale of the first batch of acres of land to open a porridge shed to feed 100,000 displaced people, Ziyang, with your talent enough to be competent in the affairs of Tuntian, you should not watch the good situation of Juchao ruined, right?" ”

Liu Ye lowered his head and was silent.

Qiao Xuan said again: "10,000 stone of grain is used to open a porridge shed, but to feed 100,000 displaced people for half a year, what will happen after half a year when the food is eaten?" But if Tuntian can continue, then 100,000 displaced people will not only have food to eat, but also land to cultivate, and soon there will be houses to live in, and Lujiang can add 100,000 people. ”

Liu Ye looked up at Qiao Xuan and said, "Hasn't Gong Qiao always believed that Gongzi would not give up Tuntian?" ”

"This time and that time." Qiao Xuan waved his hand and said abruptly, "At this time, Gongzi has no choice. ”

"No, Childe still has a choice." Liu Ye said, "The younger generation dares to assert that Gongzi will never give up Tuntian, Qiao Gong, you once said, whether Gongzi is a hero, if he wants to give up so easily, then what kind of hero is he?" ”

"Oh, really?" Qiao Xuan looked at Liu Ye thoughtfully.

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Yin deeply and said, "Father Ji, the little nephew will ask you again, have you deducted the rations of the homeless people?" ”

"No, categorically." Yuan Yin flatly denied it, "Father Ji categorically did not withhold the rations of the homeless. ”

Yuan said: "Then why do the displaced people who build the canal in Shili Pavilion only get one liter of rice a day, even if they are all laborers? ”

Yuan Yin's eyes rolled for a while, and he hurriedly said: "This, that, this, no, Father Ji has no way, you don't know, the grain truck transporting grain overturned on the road, and a cart full of white rice overturned on the side of the road, as a result, the nearby homeless people heard the wind, and snatched away half of Tai in a blink of an eye, Father Ji took the jade pendant given by your father, and then made up half a cart of rice, so as to ensure that each homeless person has a liter of white rice, but that's it, those homeless people are not satisfied, and they dare to make trouble, they really don't know what to do, they don't know how to do it! ”

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Yin deeply, and that gaze wanted to look into Yuan Yin's bones.

Yuan Yin was furious when Yuan No looked at him, but when he thought about it, he thought that he was Ji's father, and Yuan No was just his nephew.

At that moment, Yuan Yin had confidence again, and said with a stiff neck: "No, is it possible that you would rather believe those homeless people than believe in Father Ji and me?" If you don't have to think so, Father Ji has nothing to say, it's a big deal not to do this unlucky errand, Father Ji is unbearable and doesn't want to do it anymore. ”

Yuan Fu's expression finally eased, and he said with a smile: "Father Ji, don't be angry, the little nephew is just asking, after all, someone below has raised questions, and the little nephew can't just ask, Father Ji, do you say this is the reason?" However, since this incident happened for a reason, it was because the grain truck overturned and the rice grain was robbed by the displaced people, but it is no wonder that Ji's father is not to blame. ”

Yuan Yin's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it really happens for a reason, and there is a reason for it." ”

"Okay, the little nephew already knows about it." Yuan said, "Father Ji, you can go back, but the Shili Pavilion Canal still has to trouble you, Father Ji, you also know that Huang Yi is useless, at the moment the little nephew is around except for you, but there is no other close relatives to be of great use, if even Father Ji refuses to help the little nephew, then the little nephew is really useless." ”

Yuan Yin was used in his heart, and said angrily: "Since you have talked about this, Father Ji will listen to you." ”

Yuan Wei knelt down and sat up, and fell to the ground with a long bow: "The little nephew sends Father Ji to him." ”

"Don't send it, don't send it." Yuan Yin returned the salute, turned around and walked out.

However, Yuan Yin had just walked to the door, and Yuan Wei suddenly shouted: "Father Ji! ”

Yuan Yin was startled, stumbled on the threshold, and almost fell to eat, and then looked back at Yuan No with some displeasure: "No, what are you doing?" ”

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Yin deeply, and asked again in a quiet tone: "Father Ji, the little nephew will ask you again at the end, did the half of the cart of grain really let the homeless people rob it, or did you let you deduct it?" ”

Yuan Yin looked embarrassed and said, "No, how do you have to believe what Father Ji said?" ”

Yuan Fu's gaze gradually became cold, and he said in a quiet voice: "As long as it is Father Ji's heartfelt words, the little nephew will believe it." ”

Yuan Yin said: "Okay, then Father Ji might as well tell you that what Father Ji said just now is from the bottom of his heart!" ”

Yuan Wei said faintly: "Father Ji, what you just said is really from the bottom of your heart?" ”

Yuan Yin swore and said loudly: "No, if Father Ji has half a lie, he will call me to be in a different place!" ”

"Why did Father Ji swear such a poisonous oath, the little nephew believed it." Yuan Fu's face slackened again, and he said, "In this case, not only the money and grain of the Shili Pavilion Canal are under the control of Father Ji, but the money and grain of the entire Juchao Mansion Treasury are under the control of Father Ji. ”

Yuan Yin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said hurriedly: "No, is this true?" ”

"Seriously." Yuan Wei said with a smile, "If even Father Ji can't believe it, who else can the little nephew believe?" ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Wei picked up the brush again, wrote an edict crookedly and handed it to Yuan Yin, and Yuan Yin took it to Jin Shang with a rush.

Yuan Yin went for less than half an hour, and Jin Shang angrily entered Yuan Weixingyuan and asked, "Childe, how did you hand over the money and grain of the entire treasury to the Marquis of Quyang?" Isn't this child's play? ”

Yuan Wei glanced at Jin Shang coldly and said, "Yuan Xiugong, don't you hear about it?" ”

"Inseparable?" Jin Shang was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't say a second sentence.

After leaving the line, Jin Shang looked up to the sky and sighed: It's over, Tuntian is completely hopeless.

Half a month later, a carriage slowly drove along the official road to Juchao County.

In the carriage, Qiao Xuan and Liu Ye sat opposite each other and said some subsets of scriptures and histories.

Since entering the territory of Juchao County, the two of them have no longer discussed the interest of the subset of scripture and history, and instead observed the scenery outside the window.

Qiao Xuan lifted the bamboo curtain, looked at the paddy fields on both sides of the official road that were about to be completed, and sighed: "It seems that the old man is really wrong, does the prince really have no intention of giving up Tuntian, but, in terms of time, I am afraid that the grain in the treasury of Juchao has bottomed out, right?" However, these paddy fields are still not completed, especially the water conservancy and irrigation projects are far from complete, but I don't know what to do with Gongzi? ”

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Gong Qiao doesn't have to be anxious, won't you know when you get to the nest?" ”

As they spoke, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside the carriage, and when the two turned their heads to look out of the window, they saw that the homeless people who were originally working on the construction site had gathered together and were confronting the soldier who was responsible for maintaining order.

"We're going to see the steward!"

"Yes, we're going to see the steward!"

"Shut up, is it possible for you to see things when you want? Go back to work! ”

"No, if you don't give an explanation, we will never go back, why are today's rations reduced by a heal?"

"That is, the rations have been reduced to one liter a day, and they are still reduced! Is there any reason for this? ”

"That's right, the daily work has not decreased, but the rations are getting smaller and smaller day by day, and no one is allowed to live?"

"We have to see the steward, if we don't make up for the withheld rations, we won't do this work, we won't do it!"

"You don't want to do it, do you? Okay, if you don't want to do it, you can't believe it, and you can't recruit displaced people who are willing to work if you have food! So-and-so told you again in the end, you will all go back to work, if not, don't blame so-and-so for being unkind to you! ”

"You're welcome, what can you do, you still dare to kill people? If you have the ability to kill us all, you can cut us. ”

The morale of the leader was not enough, so he pulled out the ring head knife and put the bright blade on the neck of a homeless person.

Seeing the captain of the armor team draw his sword, the homeless people on the opposite side also exploded, and they all raised the farm tools in their hands, and the crowd was furious, and the team of armor soldiers responsible for maintaining order also hurriedly followed and drew their knives, and the situation was about to get completely out of control.

Qiao Xuan was a little anxious, if this really caused a civil uprising, and then turned into a riot, it would be a big trouble!

Just when Qiao Xuan couldn't help but want to get out of the car to stop him, an official rushed along the official road, and shouted from afar: "The prince has an order, no matter the officials and the people, the gentry, if you have anything, you can go directly to Xingyuan to show him your affection!" ”
