"Oh, oh, don't cry, don't cry baby," Yu Shi turned his head and urged, "Dad, hurry up, the child is not hungry." But seeing Wang Qing staring blankly at the unfolded burden, Yu leaned over to take a look, and saw that next to the ancestral tablet, there was still half a golden hairpin, this hairpin Yu recognized, is the most valuable thing in the Wang family, has been kept in the hands of his mother-in-law, the treasure transmitted from generation to generation, but now it was actually cut in half and secretly stuffed into Wang Qing's baggage. "Daddy, mother!" Wang Qing finally couldn't hold back tears from his eyes, put down his burden, knelt in the dust beside the road, and kowtowed in the direction of his homeland.

"Since the promulgation of the Decree of Primogeniture and the Decree of Granting Land, the Han people living in a large number of clans in Anxi have begun to divide and migrate, and the resistance of the local big families and peasant households with a large number of people to the sergeant-shade system has become weaker and weaker. Xiao Jiu said to Wu Yingying, "But recently, some local clans and temples have complained to the military government that since the land was granted, the tenants who have cultivated the land for them have also left one after another to go out and set up their own doors. ”

"Oh?" Wu Yingying, who was looking at an improved shoulder armor pattern presented by the Ordnance Division, raised his head, "Are these big clans and temples very dissatisfied? Are there any changes?" "That's not true, now the capable warriors have been recruited to the military government, the tenants have left one after another, and the manors of the family and the temple are becoming more and more scarce, so there are some complaints." Zhang Zhongyao saw a flash of fierceness in Wu Yingying's eyes, and hurriedly explained that many local clans in Shazhou complained to him, and he was also persuaded to go back.

Wu Yingying put down the pattern and said in a deep voice: "If these landlords are willing to reduce the rent of the tenant farmers, naturally the people will not run away, and it is easy to reclaim the land by themselves? Now the price of tenant farmer's labor is not as good as that of large animals, and the situation of the past is gone. The landlords looked at whether they were willing to plough the land with their cattle or whether they were willing to let the tenant farmers and hired farmers earn more money and grain. He paused, and then said: "If the operation of Datian property is unsustainable, it can be sold to the government and the partnership business, by the way, within three months, the Fuhai Guild will expand some shares, so that they can buy shares at a nine-percent discount on the market price, the opportunity is rare, but it must be seized." Back in the inner room from the antechamber, Huang Wen and Alidai were reading a book side by side. Usually the two women don't live together, although they treat each other politely, but there is always some estrangement, except for Wu Yingying rarely shares other things, today's scene is rare. Wu Yingying felt slightly strange, and said: "Reading such a book, so relishing?" "Hezhal - Aifusana" Ali Dai replied, seeing that Wu Yingying was confused, Huang Wen smiled and said: "It is also called "A Thousand Stories", but unfortunately there are only a few stories in this book. "Oh," Wu Yingying patted his head, suddenly realized, and then said in surprise, "Is this book already out?" Squeezing between the two women, she flipped through the first page of the book, "Sure enough, it's it." He muttered. "Have you read this book before?" asked Allida curiously. "Well," Wu Yingying nodded thoughtfully, two hundred years have passed since the battle between the Tang Empire and the Arab army Talas, and the current Arab Empire has passed the stage of initial barbaric expansion, and now it is a period when the caliphate is hollowed out, the princes are numerous, the military and government are corrupt, and the culture and science are extremely prosperous. The two women exchanged glances, and Huang Wen smiled: "It just so happens that there are a few stories with heads and no tails in this fragment." ”

The Zhaowen Pavilion in Bianliang is forbidden, and the lights are bright as usual at night, and Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Wang Yu and other courtiers are standing on the side. After the defeat of the Gaoliang River, Zhao Jiong realized that there were no reliable generals among the cronies and generals in the front class, and Cao Han Panmei was uncertain when the generals supported Zhao Dezhao, so he relied on Cao Bin again and relied on him to control the generals of the forbidden army. And Zhao Pu won Zhao Jiong's trust because of his meritorious service in stabilizing Bianliang to respond to the official family after the defeat. Because Wang Yu offered healing elixirs, and Jingluo Youyan still relied on other places, Zhao Jiong still regarded him as a confidant, but his reliance was not as good as before.

After Wang Yu decided to assist Zhao Dezhao that day, he taught Zhao Dezhao to avoid trouble with the strategy of "Cai Dai Tao Stiff", temporarily hiding his edge, in addition to often entering the palace to ask for peace, he lived in a simple place, secretly instigated the courtiers to support Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei, and walked rumors among the people, falsely claiming that according to the covenant of Jinkui, Zhao Kuangyin was located in Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi was located in Zhao Tingmei, and continued to swear that brother and brother would die. There were countless idlers in Bianliang City, and the gossip of the emperor's family was particularly exciting, and the prestige of Yin Zhao Tingmei of Kaifeng Mansion was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed to have the momentum of Zhao Guangyi back then, which attracted a group of court officials to join the service, and even Zhao Jiong's former confidant of the Jin Mansion, Lu Duoxun, the secretary of the Ministry of Peace, also hooked up with Zhao Tingmei.

And Zhao Dezhao was glad that the spearhead of the official family had turned, and while secretly contacting Shi Shouxin, Liu Yanrang and other veterans, waiting for the opportunity. Zhao Jiong's defeat at the Gaoliang River demoted Shi Shouxin, who stayed in Xijing, to the envoy of the Chongxin Army, and was in danger of being broken through by the Khitan Army in the rear, which caused the official family to fall into danger. But the intertwined relationships in the forbidden army cannot be eradicated by a single decree. Wang Yu expected that the Liao State in the east and the Great Song Dynasty had formed a mortal enmity, and the Wu heroes in the west had a clear intention of self-reliance, and it only took a few more defeats for the situation to force Zhao Jiong to use these former generals, and at that time, there might be an opportunity to turn things around in one fell swoop.

"Cai Jiyun died, and his brother Cai Jifeng stayed after his appointment, and asked for the envoy to seal the festival, what do you think?" Although the arrow wound on his leg has healed, it will still be painful every rainy and humid weather, Zhao Jiong's face has always been as pale as after the defeat of the Gaoliang River, and his cheeks have sunken, "Also, Anxi Jiedu made Wu Yingying blind to the imperial court, and led the army back to Hexi without authorization, Wu Yingying has sent an envoy to the imperial court to ask for guilt, and is willing to pay tribute to Hexi every year 5,000 good horses and 30,000 catties of jade, what do you think to deal with?" ”

"Your Majesty, it has not been a day since the Anxi army was dominant, and Wu Yingying is undoubtedly a thief who stole the border fortress, and the imperial court should send a large army to crusade to set an example. The privy envoy Cao Bin said, he almost no longer concealed his bad feelings for Wu Yingying, especially with the faint encouragement of the official family, "At present, the main force of the forbidden army is stationed on the front line of Mancheng, in case the Khitan army goes south to retaliate against the imperial court's siege of Youzhou, you can support Cai Ji to serve money and grain, and order the difficult army to crusade against Anxi. ”

"This is not appropriate, Cai Jifeng is a barbarian, how can he be the envoy of the two towns, isn't the rebellion of An Lushan in the previous dynasty because of this?" Zhao Pu immediately objected.

Cao Bin said in a deep voice: "The prime minister's words are wrong, this dynasty adheres to the policy of guarding the inside and outside, and the elite soldiers of the imperial court will return to the forbidden army, and gather in Bianliang Zuo, but Cai Jifeng will be awarded a false title, and he will be defeated by the Anxi army, so that it is convenient for the imperial court to control the northwest barbarians." At present, the Khitans are trying to enter the Central Plains, let Cai Jifeng attack Lingzhou, and also contain the heroes of Hexi Wu. ”

"Absurd, Wu Yingying has paid tribute to the imperial court, and the left and right are just the same status as Wu Yueqian's and Cai's in the past, and the imperial court just took this opportunity to stabilize him, and then manage the northwest after the east is over, like Cao Shumi's disposal, I am afraid that Wu Yingying will be reversed if he does not rebel. Zhao Pu's face changed, "Wu Yingying has the right place in Hexi, suppresses Hehuangqing, Tang and Tubo, and recently he has moved the Western Regions, as long as he appeases him, he will naturally not be an enemy of the imperial court, and can even be a barrier to the west of the Central Plains." Shaanxi Zhulu is quite infested by barbarians, since the Anxi army built a town, the border Suining, and the trade route is reopened, people praise. If it is according to Cao's secret policy, the troops will be exchanged for many years, and the northwest will be eroded. Even if the Anxi forces retreat into the Western Regions, will they still have to transfer grain and salaries to support the army to pass through the Western Regions? The battles of Taiyuan and Youzhou have already consumed a lot of grain reserves in the prefectures and counties of the Central Plains, and if they raise a large army and go far to the Western Regions, the government treasury will not be able to support it, so they will have to increase the tax burden on the people, and the sea will certainly be wasted, and the people's resentment will boil, resulting in the instability of the society and giving the ill-intentioned people an opportunity to take advantage of. These consequences, has Cao Shumi's envoy considered a clear way to deal with them?"

Zhao Puxin relied on the official family, and he also figured out Zhao Jiong's mentality of beware of his brothers and nephews being better than the enemy's foreign vassals, and talked eloquently, Cao Bin was resentful in his heart, but his face could only make a deferential appearance, without him, Zhao Jiong hated the generals the most, if the prime minister was occasionally temperamental, he could still be tolerant, if the military minister lost his honor, it would be a big loss of favor.
