Out of the palace, Qi Mude asked Chen Lian: "What did the princess mean by what she said before?" ”

His expression was very serious, and his eyes burned like a wolf, this was the first time Chen Lian had seen him like this.

Chen Lian said: "During my travels, I met a prince of the Central Plains, who went to Loulan and gave the prince of Loulan a beauty. ”

As soon as these words came out, Qimu trembled.

He couldn't believe it, "The Central Plains, the Central Plains shouldn't do anything to our Western Regions, right?" ”

"Our Western Regions, with a lot of gold and silver, and no soldiers, if it weren't too far from the Central Plains, I'm afraid it would have been annexed long ago. The Central Plains didn't stretch their fangs out to us before, but they were too busy to take care of themselves. But the national teacher doesn't have to worry, such a thing is not something to consider at the moment after all. ”

Of course, Qimu knew it, but he thought more, he calculated that there were only thirty years left in Ruoqiang's national fortune, and now eighteen years have passed.

After bowing to Chen Lian, he returned to the king's palace, thinking that he had something to say to King Ruoqiang alone.

Chen Lian was not interested in listening to it this time, he wanted to accumulate merit, this kind of thing of using spells in the human world, the less the better.

If it weren't for Ruoqiang's army, he wouldn't have personally done it to those bandits.

*

On the second day, the king of Ruoqiang had already issued a decree on the reduction of taxes for planting trees and the matter of the Ruoqiang household registration.

Ruoqiang people don't have much feeling about Ruoqiang hukou, but everyone is happy with the tax cut.

In fact, because of the Silk Road, every household in Ruoqiang is not poor.

But not being poor doesn't mean that everyone will dislike having a lot of money, so as soon as this decree was delivered, every family took a hoe and went to the Zhaozhou Delta to plant trees.

"Why do you think the king issued such a decree?"

"I think it's related to the princess! The princess has only just come back from her travels, and she has been riding and shooting since she was a child, and she likes to hunt very much, but now the forests around us are almost gone. ”

"Yes, the princess is good at riding and shooting, and she must want to hunt."

"I also think that no matter what, it's good for us, and it's a tax cut."

Chen Lian himself didn't expect that the people of Ruoqiang would easily guess that the matter of planting trees had something to do with him.

As for the people's speculation about why the tax cuts, he didn't care.

Just plant a tree!

If the people of Ruoqiang don't care about the hukou, the sand bandits have to care.

Why become a sand bandit?

It's not like there's nowhere to go.

Either it's a crime, or it's just that life can't go on.

Although Chen Lian did not wipe out the entire desert sand bandits this time, he only focused on the vicinity of the Silk Road.

The people don't pay attention to the matter of household registration, and the total number of these sand bandits who have been captured is tens of thousands.

When they heard that they could be Ruoqiang people by planting trees, they were really happy and hurriedly went to plant trees.

The Ruoqiang people set off a boom in planting trees, and those merchants who passed by also began to transport saplings from the Central Plains, and they also made a fortune.

In addition, among the merchants, there were also those who brought the news back to the Central Plains, and many people who had nowhere to go in the Central Plains also came to Ruoqiang.

The people of Ruoqiang don't have much feeling about these things now, but several neighboring countries say that Ruoqiang is crazy.

The management after the diversification of the population kept the Ruoqiang court busy, and many people in neighboring countries simply regarded Ruoqiang as a joke.

"Princess Bao'an, I said that now Ruoqiang people have all kinds of skin colors, doesn't this confuse the blood of your Ruoqiang people, in a few years, Ruoqiang people will still be Ruoqiang people?"

Chen Lian rode on the horse, listening to the muttering of the prince of Qiuzi next to him, and his expression remained very light.

"It's not up to you, Prince, to worry about this matter."

Prince Qiuzi was not angry, but said: "Princess Bao'an, your husband has disappeared for ten years, or you can marry me, after marrying me, if you want to support the royal servant, or live in Ruoqiang, you can do it, I don't mind living here." ”

said that the door came to the door so fresh and refined, does the transaction have to be praised, is it worthy of being a prince?

A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he refused with a few casual words, and soon Chizhen Nuyu and Luo Zhulai, as well as the prince of Ruoqiang, Meng Teng Bi Yunlu, pulled people away.

Does Prince Qiuzi really like the princess of Bao'an?

Not necessarily.

The king of Qiuci is amorous and has many children, this prince of Qiuci is just one of them, if you want to inherit the throne in the end, with Ruoqiang's help, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

And now among the thirty-six large countries in the Western Regions, the four countries linked to the silk idea, including Ruoqiang, are the strongest, and he can pull Ruoqiang as the backing, which is definitely more advantageous than pulling four or five small countries.

Besides, even if Chen Lian doesn't care about women, he also understands that the skin of the princess of Bao'an is definitely a captivating posture, and with her identity, Prince Qiuzi will definitely not suffer.

The abacus is playing very well!

After riding a horse and walking around the woods, Chen Lian came down and walked.

Ten years later, this forest stretches for hundreds of miles, and the problems of water shortage and dry climate have been solved.

Although the king of Ruoqiang still did not understand his purpose of introducing foreign populations, the benefits of this kind of tree had already been experienced by him and the people of Ruoqiang.

Even because of the relationship between the saplings, now they Ruoqiang have formed friendships with many caravans.

After all, their demand for this sapling, which was not valuable in the Central Plains, was too great, which made these caravans make a lot of money here.

And the taxes and toll money paid by these caravans are comparable to those taxes that are reduced and reduced by the whole of Ruoqiang.

Ruoqiang King and National Teacher Qimude said in private, "Do you think this is also in Bao'an's plan?" ”

Qimu shook his head, "After thinking about it carefully, the princess's approach has a lot of meanings, and the ministers don't dare to guess what the specific reason is." ”

"Because of planting trees, her reputation among the people is now higher than that of my three sons, but if she is made the princess, I am afraid that this alone will not be enough."

Qimu said: "Look again." ”

Chen Lian, who has become more and more regarded as a mortal, naturally does not know the plans of King Ruoqiang and Qi Mude.

He was listening to gossip in the poplar forest at this time.

"You say that our princess has made our life much better, but she herself has no one around her now, and she has no children, which is really too bitter."

"Yes, it's also the prince's fault that he abandoned our princess!"

"Alas, why is the life of such a good person as the princess so bitter?"

Chen Lian couldn't help but shake his head as he listened to these people's words.

Originally, I just listened to gossip, but I didn't expect that when I entered the palace the next day, the queen mother and queen snorted and cried, and pointed to several young people from the Central Plains who looked white and clean, and looked closely at Yuan Chenlian and many similar Central Plains teenagers to him.

Chen Lian really couldn't stand the tears of women, not to mention that these two people were still the grandmother and queen mother in the name of the princess of Bao'an.

He had no choice but to bring these Central Plains teenagers back to the Wangnu's Mansion to raise.

As a result, the next day, Lianqin said in a panic: "Princess, all the royal servants given by the palace yesterday are dead. ”
