In the meeting hall, the red lady held a new village meeting.

Unlike usual, the martial saints Ai Lianchi, Zhuge Shanzhen, and the newly invited Steel King Li also attended the meeting.

The red lady looked at everyone and saw that everyone was listless, whispering and talking about it below.

Wu Yaozu stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Please be quiet!" ”

Everyone looked at Wu Yaozu. I saw him take a waist card from the red lady's hand and said: "This is Yu Lichang's waist card, I want to announce a decision made by Yu Lichang before he was injured." ”

At this point, he stopped, and everyone was focused, silent, waiting to hear what was decided.

He continued: "This decision is the content that Yu Lichang personally engraved on this identity card, that is: In case of accidents, Mu Hongniang has all the power to act on my behalf!" ”

He paused, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Now that the chief is seriously injured, we must unite around the red lady and not live up to his expectations of everyone." ”

After speaking, Wu Yaozu showed the identity card to everyone to see, after the passing, Wu Yaozu bent over, held the card with both hands, respectfully raised it above his head, the red lady took the identity card from his hand, and slowly raised it as if he was holding a thousand catties of burden, and said loudly: "From today on, in the name of Yu Xiang's wife, as the head of the new village, until my father-in-law fully recovers, I will take on the responsibility of the management of the new village and Dongshuanghe Town." ”

The people present are looking forward to someone to shoulder the responsibility of the management of the new village and end the current chaos, not to mention Yu Xiang's own hand carving, for a while, the public united, applause, everyone shouted: "Okay!! ——”

"I also tell you the news that my husband's injury has improved, thank you for your concern for him." The red lady continued. She is not shy about it now, and she considers herself the eldest lady. Her hair was coiled up as a sign of her will.

"Great!" When the people in the hall heard the news, they congratulated one after another.

Seeing that the Red Lady coiled her hair and publicly declared that she was Yu Xiang's wife, the whole hall was happy to accept this fact, and the Red Lady announced that she was Yu Xiang's wife, and at the same time disintegrated the so-called Mu faction and the Yu faction, and the existence of these two factions no longer has any meaning.

Everyone is now more united than before, especially the people of the original Yu faction, who admired the courage of the red lady even more, and announced that she was Yu Xiang's wife when Yu Xiang's life and death were uncertain, which means that if Yu Xiang is really dead, she may have to keep filial piety and widowhood for Yu Xiang, which is considered a woman's virtue in this era.

The hearts of the people in the hall were gathered, and the passion of everyone was ignited again.

"Now, I announce the punishment decision of Mu Huoniu, although Mu Huoniu subjectively did not mean to hurt people, but objectively caused serious harm to the lieutenant chief, and then, inaction, he bears unshirkable responsibility for the chaos in Xincun, therefore, he is guilty of injury and dereliction of duty, and decided to remove him from the post of Minister of Internal Affairs, expelled from Xincun, and ordered him to return to Mujiazhai for reflection. Zhang Xuemei served as the Minister of the Interior, and Ding Taifu was the Deputy Minister and Head Chef. ”

After the red lady announced the decision, everyone was silent, and everyone felt that Ah Niu's punishment was too light and not very satisfied.

Shengying stood up and said: "Let me say a few words, although Ah Niu hurt the lieutenant, it was a pure misunderstanding and a negligent injury." Thinking of his dedication to Xincun in the past, such a punishment and an appropriate sentence, besides, Mujiazhai also needs people like him to guard and build, and sending him to Mujiazhai can be regarded as labor reform, I personally think this punishment is reasonable. ”

Everyone saw that Shengying, who has always been impartial and honest, said this, so they agreed.

The red lady said: "Since everyone has no opinions, I will ask Director Shengying to write this handling opinion into the Xincun Code, as a reference and reference for dealing with this matter in the future." ”

She raised her voice and said loudly: "From today on, everyone should not gather around the Boxer Hall to pray, return to their posts, and do their jobs well, this is what I want to see the most, his greatest wish is that everyone will work together to build a new village, and everyone will live a good life. ”

"Good!! ——" A shocking roar erupted in the hall, and everyone finally spit out the pent-up depression in their hearts, and all their hearts were one, shouting out their hearts, and the momentum was magnificent.

After the meeting, everyone returned to their posts, and the people in front of the Yihe Hall quickly dispersed, and now everyone in the new village is full of energy, the streets will soon be renewed, and the new village will quickly return to normal.

In the evening, Wu Yaozu took out two letters, handed them to the red lady and said: "This is what the chief asked me to hand over to you, one letter is the crucible steelmaking method, and the other letter is the barrel mold production method. ”

The red lady took the letter and felt that it was heavy in her hand, and Yu Xiang's hard work was condensed here, and she secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she would help Yu Xiang realize her wish.

The new village is undergoing a new metamorphosis.

Speaking of the capital, in the palace, Emperor Chongzhen sat in the pavilion of the imperial garden, tasting the tea that Zhao Jiacheng brought back from Xincun, and he was in a very happy mood.

Today, Emperor Chongzhen is in a rare good mood, and in Shaanxi, Yang Sichang's victory in defeating the peasant rebel army is frequent; The Guanningjin defense line was impregnable, and the Manchu iron cavalry could not move forward; Yu Xiang of this river new village is constantly playing new tricks and has a new atmosphere.

The aroma of green tea made Chongzhen very relaxed, and his face showed a calm and peaceful color that he had not seen for a long time.

In fact, Xincun Maojian, for the emperor, is not a good tea, but the quality of tea, the standard is not absolute, and the mood and taste of the tea taster are related, and this Chongzhen Emperor, it seems that this is just this mouthful, this Zhao Jiacheng brought back this pot of tea, Emperor Chongzhen can't put it down, whenever he is in a bad mood, make a cup, drink two sips, and the mood will be better. When you are in a good mood, take two sips and feel that this tea is even more mellow.

Drinking tea from Xincun and listening to the story of Xincun, this made the emperor who was far away in the capital feel like he was in close contact with Xincun.

Chongzhen's concern about Xincun is extremely secretive, and only Chongzhen's cronies know about it at present, and the ministers of the court have not yet received news. However, the ministers of the court saw Chongzhen tasting tea with their own eyes, but they didn't dare to ask, and they were doing everything possible to inquire about the source of this tea.

The reason, presumably I won't say, the officials also understand very well, the same principle in ancient and modern times: there is something good at the top, and it must be very bad at the bottom!

Soon, the new village will be as expensive as gold.

Wang Chengen's main job at present is to collect information about the new village, and he stares at the new village without blinking his two eyes to see what new trends are there, so as to report to Chongzhen in time.

Wang Chengen's mood is extremely complicated, he very much hopes that Xincun will make some noise, so that he can break in front of the emperor, but he is afraid that the movement will be too big, so that he will not dare to break it, no, this time Xincun Ermei is fighting for a husband, the movement is too big, the protagonist of this reality show, Yu Xiang, was beaten to death, and now, Chongzhen is enjoying watching the play, and he is not acting for him coldly, and the emperor is angry, but I am afraid that I don't know how many people's heads will not be protected.

No, Chongzhen, who usually rarely speaks, drank tea and drank beauty, and took the initiative to break with Wang Chengen:

"Wang Aiqing, if I have time, I really want to go to Xincun to see if the so-called circular agriculture is as good as it says, the barnyard grass and crops in the fields are used to raise pigs, chickens, sheep and cattle, these poultry and animal manure are used to make fertilizer, and biogas is used to make fires for cooking, and the manure residue in the biogas tank breeds earthworms, and earthworms come to raise pigs and feed chickens, and at the same time, the earthworm feces can also fertilize the fields. This thing, turning in circles, is very novel, it is all within reach of everyone, why no one thought about it before, when I arrived in the new village, fiddling with it, it became a novelty.

It is said that the environment of this new village is clean and tidy, there are mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, everyone lives a rich life, lives and works in peace and contentment, it is fascinating to think about it, if I am a big country, it is like this, I will rest assured, I also want to be a village chief, but all the worries, a corner of peace, leisurely. ”

Chongzhen felt a lot of nostalgia for the new village, and felt a lot of emotion, Wang Chengen couldn't listen to it, if the emperor Lao'er knew that the new village was going to be finished, I don't know how he would react, he hurriedly patted his ass and said: "This is all the emperor's blessing." ”

Chongzhen was also very happy, and said about the taxation of Dongshuanghe Town: "Zhao Guarde said that the merchants in Dongshuanghe Town are willing to pay taxes, and every year a small Dongshuanghe Town can collect hundreds of taels of tax silver, Wang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "In Dongshuanghe Town, Yu Xiang collects taxes, the tax amount is small, everyone can afford it, and it is taken from the people, used for the people, and the tax is used for the expenditure of public service personnel, so it can be a virtuous circle." ”

Chongzhen nodded and praised: "What a circular method, it would be good if the Ming Dynasty was like this everywhere, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, the business and trade are developed, the trade is active, the tea tax, the sea tax, and the silk tax are not collected, the court is very poor, fighting wars and disaster relief, and official expenses, which does not cost money?" The tax burden of the imperial court mainly comes from the mu tax, and the levy of the mu tax in the land of the great drought is undoubtedly to force the people to rebel. ”

"Long live the Sage!" Wang Chengen lost no time in continuing to pat on the back. Xincun Yu Xiang's life is in danger, if he doesn't say it now, sooner or later the emperor will know, and if he investigates it, he will conceal the truth and not report it, and he will be punished for bullying the king in the future. But seeing that the emperor was so interested, he said it and swept the emperor Yaxing, the emperor was angry, and he was dragged out and beheaded, life or death, it all depends on the emperor's words, and the true companion is like a tiger.

At this moment, a girl's crisp voice came: "Father, is there news of the new village again?" "The person who came was Princess Changping.

Chongzhen showed a kind smile on his face and said, "Jiao'er, come here, tell you the story of the great hero Yu Xiang for my father." ”

After all, Princess Changping was still a child, so she ran over happily and took Chongzhen's hand, very happy. Chongzhen told Princess Changping the story of Yu Xiang's removal of the three brakes and the extermination of the Black Tiger Gang.

In fact, Princess Changping has known these stories for a long time, but she still listens to them with relish.

After speaking, Princess Changping was still not happy and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "Jiao'er, my father can't let him go to war with bad guys every day in order to tell you stories, besides, where can I find so many bad guys?" ”

Princess Changping pursed her cute little mouth and said obediently: "Father is right, it is Jiao'er who is too anxious, and I ask my father to forgive me." ”

Emperor Chongzhen kindly held her little hand and said, "When there is new news, my father will order Lord Wang to listen to you, okay?" ”

Princess Changping said happily: "Thank you, father!" ”

As soon as Wang Chengen heard this, he felt that the opportunity had come, so he quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "Weichen has news of Yuxiang in Xincun here, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

Princess Changping's eyes lit up, and she clapped her little hands happily and said, "Very good!" Very good! ”。

Chongzhen saw that his daughter was so happy, so he said, "But it's okay to talk about it." ”

At this time, Chongzhen has also become extremely gossip, this gossip is the nature of human beings, otherwise, thousands of years later, people are still watching TV with relish, but now the means of gossip are more sophisticated, the gossip of the Chongzhen period can only be passed on by word of mouth, although he is the emperor, but he is also a person, and he is still not exempt from vulgarity.

Wang Chengen has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and he is used to acting according to his face. He said cautiously: "This Yu Xiang may be getting married!" ”

After all, Princess Changping was a child, and she couldn't stand the rhythm of Wang Chengen's speech, so she asked, "Is it with the Red Lady?" The two of them shared weal and woe. ”

Wang Chengen shook his head and said: "Not only with the red lady, but also Chen Zhenhao's daughter Chen Siyi. He paused slightly, decided to make the storyline more suspenseful, and continued: "This time it's the two beautiful husbands! ”

Chongzhen became interested: "What a contention, I'm afraid it's a dispute between the concubines, it should be this Miss Chen as the concubine, and the red lady as the concubine!" ”

Princess Changping said regretfully: "Originally, the red lady and the big hero were a husband and wife in distress, but now they have become concubines, how can she be willing?" ”

Although she is young, she can grow up in the harem, and of course she is very sensitive to the order of women, which is not only as simple as name, but also involves a lot of practical interests. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the emperor's harem is a history of bloody and bloody struggles.

"But this Yu Xiang is a novelty, he wants to marry two daughters at the same time, and no matter what he is! Marry two wives" After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he didn't dare to face Emperor Chongzhen.

Chongzhen said: "This is a solution, it is affectionate and righteous, but can Governor Chen agree?" ”

"Qiqi Sheng, when Governor Chen heard this, he was furious and categorically refused to allow it." Wang Chengen said.

Chongzhen said: "It's excusable! ”

"But this red lady is a person with a strong temperament, and she doesn't obey. There were two factions in Xincun, one group of people supported Yu Xiang and the other group of people opposed Yu Xiang. And these two factions are fighting extremely fiercely! Wang Chengen didn't dare to continue, he wanted to see the situation.

Chongzhen said: "One is a strange woman who shares hardships and hardships, and the other is the daughter of an official of the imperial court, it is really difficult to choose. ”

Princess Changping said: "Lord Wang, you can help Yu Xiang, as long as you say hello to Governor Chen and ask Lord Chen to take a step back, won't this matter be resolved?" "Princess Changping is a child after all, out of kindness.

Chongzhen also affirmed: "If they can promote their marriage, it will be a beautiful conversation." Chongzhen has always been cautious in his words, and he doesn't jump to conclusions easily, but he didn't expect to help Yu Xiang in this matter.

Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt down, and said in his mouth: "I'm afraid it's too late, Yu Xiang was seriously injured because of this marriage, and now he is unconscious and in danger!" ”

Chongzhen's hand shook, and his face changed greatly.

At the same time, he is also very superstitious, he feels that Yu Xiang's fate is like his own fate, and Yu Xiang's situation is an ominous sign. Chongzhen has regarded Yu Xiang as the epitome of himself, since he ascended the throne at the age of 16, he has been diligent and thrifty, and he is determined to be the king of Yao Shun, Zhongxing Daming, but God seems to be joking with him, since he ascended the throne, natural disasters **, Daming is in danger, although Chongzhen is very hard, there is always a feeling of powerlessness.

At this time, Yu Xiang appeared, so that he saw hope, Yu Xiang is the same as him, diligent and thrifty, not afraid of violence, overcome all difficulties, to be a good person, now Yu Xiang, is no longer a simple story character, but also Chongzhen's spiritual sustenance. Chongzhen even felt that Yu Xiang was his bosom friend, and he learned a lot of novelties from Yu Xiang, which allowed him to broaden his horizons, planting sweet potatoes, recycling agriculture in Xincun, and collecting taxes in Dongshuanghe Town, so that Chongzhen had a new view and understanding of agriculture and commerce, which was more direct and better to understand than letting Dacheng give him a big reason.

Chongzhen really wants to see how Yu Xiang has built a new village from a person at the bottom of the society, and what kind of legend he has created, and he hopes that Yu Xiang will succeed.

But now, when he heard that Yu Xiang's life was in danger, he was very shocked and felt desperate, and he didn't want the hero in the story to end like this.

Chongzhen asked: "Now, how can I save Yu Xiang's life?" ”

Princess Changping hurriedly said: "Why don't you send the imperial doctor to treat Yu Xiang?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Princess, if you ask the imperial doctor to treat the grass people, it will attract the opposition of the ministers of the court, even if Yu Xiang is optimistic, Yu Xiang will not have a good time in the future." ”

Princess Changping said anxiously: "How can that be?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Wechen heard that there is a miracle doctor named Wu Youxing in Shandong, and his medical skills are extremely superb, why not ask him to come forward to treat Yu Xiang." ”

Chongzhen thought about it and said, "I will hand over this matter to you, and quickly invite Wu Youxing, there can be no mistakes." ”

Wang Chengen received the order and thanked him, hurriedly ran out, ordered a letter to be handed to Zhao Jiacheng, and ordered him to hurry up to 800 miles to invite Wu Youxing to go to Xincun to treat Yu Xiang's illness. The system looks, the projection head??
