After the wedding, Zhu Shuzhen moved into the open garden, which is the largest courtyard in the palace, and the house furnishings are all in the form of Jiangnan Province, which makes her feel like going home, but she is not happy, because although the two have been married for ten days, they have not performed the rites of Zhou Gong, and the prince almost returns to the dormitory late at night every day, and often he is either drunk, or he is too tired, or he is not used to it, and he goes to bed alone.

At first, Zhu Shuzhen thought that the prince was working hard for the wedding and felt tired, so he didn't take it to heart. But after moving to the inner courtyard, the prince did not live with her, but quietly moved into the plum garden, and the two had few opportunities to meet, let alone talk at night as husband and wife, which made her feel cold, and she couldn't help but suspect that the prince was hiding in the golden house and had a new love...

The plum garden was built in the winter garden of Xiangyi Wangfu, because several plum trees were planted in the courtyard, Zhao Ta called it the plum garden to show the difference. In order to facilitate communication with the outer courtyard, a corner gate was built to communicate with the outer courtyard, and it was originally Zhao Xin who led the internal guards to be on duty here. After he left, Wangfu temporarily took over as the chief of the guard, and after the prince's wedding, there were many more female dependents in the inner house, and the internal guards were inconvenient to enter and exit, and the guards were all replaced by internal guards. However, the corner gate connected to the outer courtyard was still guarded by the inner guard, and the other people who lived in the garden were a dozen or so small yellow gates who worked as handymen, and there was not a single female dependent.

Zhao Tan didn't move here to hide from Zhu Shuzhen, because there were still a lot of materials and books he had collected, and when he got married, people were sent to the house everywhere to congratulate him. Since he took charge of Hedong, it is rare for so many people to get together. Just took this opportunity to discuss some things, so after the wedding, these people were still stranded in the palace, waiting for the prince's questioning.

"What is the situation in Hedong now?" Zhao Ta asked, Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhong, Xu Hong, Zhang Qu and others came from the northwest this time.

"Lord, although most of Hedong did not have a war last year, because of the battle of the Western Expedition, there were a lot of losses, and the taxes were greatly reduced, and the war subsided this year. Expect it to be better. In this westward expedition, we recovered several states, but because of the war, the people of the Han Dynasty fled. Although we have recruited some displaced people to cultivate, the northwest has always been sparsely populated, and it is difficult to recruit more people, and there will still be many fertile lands that are wasted, but after entering February, a large number of displaced people from the south of the Yangtze River have somehow poured into the Hedong and Lingxia areas! Xu Hong said.

"Hehe, Judge Xu, there will be more people entering Hedong in the future, you have to be ready!" At this time, Zheng Fu said with a smile.

"Oh. Why is that? Xu Hong asked in surprise.

"After the prince learned of the civil unrest in the southeast, he has ordered us to pay attention to collecting information on the movements of the displaced people, although there are many people who follow the thieves in this civil unrest, but there are also many people who are unwilling to join, and the thieves in order to raise military salaries, grain and grass, they will plunder the people along the way, causing many people to be displaced and flee to Jiangbei, and we will follow the prince's plan. Propaganda of the great victory in the northwest, seized a large number of fertile land, but no one cultivated, and when there was a government over there, the government distributed farm tools and divided the fields. You can go to evacuate, so the desperate people go to the northwest! Zheng Fu said.

"Oh. It turned out to be the arrangement of the prince, how many people will arrive in the future? Xu Hong said suddenly, secretly admiring in his heart, the prince is really far-sighted, can turn decay into magic, the people are bad things, and the fleeing refugees are a headache for the government, and if they don't get it right, a new civil uprising will be born, and the prince has solved the problem of population shortage in the northwest, and solved the problem of nowhere to go for the displaced people.

"The southeast civil uprising, affecting 52 counties in six states, involved in the population of tens of millions, now Tong Taiwei waved the southeast, has recovered Hangzhou and other places, the thief fled to his hometown, soon the riot will subside, but many former thieves, the people who have been thieves must be worried about the retaliation of the official army, will avoid other places, the northwest will also be a good place, I am afraid that the number of people who will enter later will not be less than 200,000!" Zhao Ta said, historical records, Tong Guan suppressed the Fang La uprising, killed millions of thieves, can be described as bloody, people who were scared away must be indispensable, at that time, it was not like now that you can chase and escape online, as long as you run to a remote and remote place, change your name and surname, no one will know Lu Dao, the northwest is now the first choice for fugitives, not to mention at that time, so Zhao Ta concluded that there will be more people pouring in. …,

"Lord Wang, the sudden influx of so many people in Hedong, although the population problem has been solved, it has also brought a lot of pressure to Hedong, how to arrange so many people, how to solve the problem of food and clothing?" Xu Hong thought about the influx of so many people, the government's ability was limited, and Hedong was not rich, if it was not solved well, it would still cause turmoil.

"These problems, in the final analysis, are still a problem of money, and now there are two ways to solve them, one is to reach out to the court to ask for money, I think this Master He must have done it." Zhao said.

"Yes, the imperial court exempted Hedong from taxes for one year, and Hezhong for three years of taxes, and allocated 100,000 stone of grain, but this is also a drop in the bucket, and it won't last much time!" Xu Hongdao.

"Well, the other is to attract rich businessmen from all over the world to go to the northwest and borrow chickens to lay eggs!" Zhao Ta said, "We still have salt in the northwest, and the imperial court has canceled the Department of Affairs, which leaves us room to play, and a large piece of land is also attractive to those rich gentry and tycoons, they will not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, it depends on us to guide!" ”

"Lord Wang, after you left, the DPRK sent many officials to the northwest, and these people took a large amount of land into state ownership in the name of expanding fields, and then auctioned it off on a large scale, and we didn't get much benefit!" Xu Hong said.

"Hmph, I expected that they wouldn't let go of the fat in their mouths!" Zhao Tan sneered and said, "If we want to stabilize the northwest and ensure the security of the border, we still have to rely on Mintun and Juntun, they occupy the field, you will come over in the name of Tuntian, how it works does not need me to say more, if you don't understand, you can ask us Zhang Quda and Wei Bochu, they are experts!" ”

"Hehe, listening to the words of the prince, it is better to read for ten years, you can rest assured, everyone knows how to do it!" Xu Hong smiled, the prince is fighting poison with poison, see whose means are higher, they have been taught by the prince for many years, how can they not understand his meaning!

"Lord Wang, your wedding is over, when will you return to Hedong? Now that we have no leader, many of the Tibetan tribes have just surrendered, and you have been away for a long time, I am afraid that there will be a recurrence! Xu Hong said.

"If you want me to go to Hedong, you must not say this kind of thing, especially in front of outsiders, otherwise I will not be able to return to Hedong for the rest of my life!" Zhao said.

"Why did the prince say this, from the east of the river to the middle of the river, as long as those Tibetan tribes heard the name of the prince, they didn't dare to raise their voices, and the loyal and brave army is now prestigious, all of them are arrogant soldiers, and who can control the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you have gotten into the eyes of money, and you have to learn more about officialdom!" Xu Hong patted Zhang Qu's shoulder and said.

"It's... Am I wrong? This is the truth, who can make the loyal army move, Zhao Zhong, don't you say? "Zhang is really confused, isn't it good to talk about the prince more powerfully?

"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you want to raise a Laipi dog that you tell him to bite whomever you ask, or a fierce tiger who wants to bite whomever he wants?" Zhao Zhong didn't judge him right or wrong, and asked rhetorically.

"Of course I want to raise an obedient dog, if the tiger is disobedient, it will bite to death if it doesn't work... Oh, I see! Zhang Jianli replied instantly, but as he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Zhao Zhong and smiled, "You kid dug a pit for me to jump, I look at you as loyal and honest, but I think you are wilted!" ”

"Hehe, don't dare to be, there is still a long way to go than the prince!" Zhao Zhong said with a smile.

"Okay, don't laugh anymore, it's time for you to go back to Hedong, Zhao Zhong, bring these letters back and let them do it!" Zhao Ta asked Jianxi to hold a box and handed it to Zhao Zhongdao.

"Lord Wang, you wrote a letter to everyone, are you prepared, don't you really want to abandon us?" Zhao Zhong opened the box and saw that almost all the senior generals of the Loyal and Brave Army had a thick pile inside, and he said half-jokingly. …,

"Cough..."Zhao Ta's face turned red, these letters were the confessions he wrote when he was about to leave, and now they have only been slightly changed.

"Nonsense, how could the prince abandon us, this only shows that the prince may live in Beijing for a while!" As soon as Zhao Zhong's words fell, Zhao Zhi immediately saw that the prince was uncomfortable, although he didn't know the truth, he also faintly felt that something was going on, and quickly turned the words around.

"Zhao Zhi is right, now some people in the DPRK don't want me to go back, so they will come up with a bad trick like a big wedding, so they can take the opportunity to divide, disintegrate, and win over the loyal army and our people, destroy the foundation we laid in Hedong, cut off my wings, and then control the northwest and master the loyal army, that is I am a tiger without minions, I can only be at their mercy, so I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Hedong for the time being!" Zhao Ta happened to go down the stairs.

"Don't worry, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, if anyone in the loyal army dares to betray the prince, I will kill him first!" Zhao Zhi said, "But Lord Wang, you will allocate some grain and grass to me first, or everyone will starve to death first!" He turned his face and pleaded.

"I can't starve you to death, I have already arranged it, let the shopkeeper Zhang buy you thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the food grown is enough for you to eat!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, you want us to go farming, don't you want the loyal soldiers?" Zhao Zhi said in surprise.

"Yes, I want to put my swords and guns into storage, and put the horses in Nanshan, if my wife and children are willing to go, you can bring them all over!" Zhao Ta said seriously.

"Okay, whatever the prince wants us to do, we will do!" Xu Hong looked at the people who were so shocked that their jaws were dislocated, and said with a wicked smile... (To be continued.)
