Xiao Changqi rubbed the account book, and finally returned it to her, "Your husband really doesn't lack silver." However, this intention was accepted. ”

"Really?" Ye Qingyan looked at him.

Xiao Changqi nodded, "Hmm." ”

"In this case, I will use this silver to build bridges and pave roads, and build a medical hall academy."

"Great goodness! If the silver taels are not enough, you can come to me. Xiao Changqi said with a smile.

Ye Qingyan yawned, "It's really boring, people came to show you off, but they were turned away, it's very unhappy." ”

"It's not early, let's rest." Xiao Changqi hugged her and moved to the back room of the study.

Soon, there was a whisper in the room that made the bright moon hazy and cloudy, and the begonias were shy and budding......

……

Xiao Changqi quietly got up after Ye Qingyan fell asleep.

Tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and put the soup woman on the soles of her feet, to ensure that it was warm, and then put on a dark color coat and went out.

It was still pitch black outside, and the lanterns under the corridor glowed orange, not cold, but even the air was full of the life of all things. The spring of Jizhou came late, and the capital celebrated the New Year, and the willow warbler bloomed in spring. Jizhou will not appear red and green until after April.

His woman has also been freezing for a winter...... Thinking of Ye Qingyan's appearance when he first came to Jizhou, he lived like a quail every day and trembled, and his heart ached. Although she eventually adapted to the climate, she still has to use a soup woman to sleep.

Wait one more winter at most! He wouldn't let her stay here for long.

Zhu Hai hurried into the courtyard.

"Lord, King Sidi died, and the crown prince ascended the throne."

"Well, Helian Ba, the prince of Xidi, has always been eyeing the Yan Dynasty, and I'm afraid it will not be good this year."

"There has been no war in Jizhou for many years, and the DPRK and China have also been negligent here, and now that Jizhou has become your fiefdom, the only remaining 800 border guards have also been transferred back to the capital. Now Jizhou is an unlocked gate. If Xidi attacks, he can only rely on the three hundred guards of the prince to resist, and Jizhou will ...... at that time."

"Maybe it will become the next Fengzhou!" In Xiao Changqi's dark phoenix eyes, a touch of hatred flashed!

In the nineteenth year of Jingde, Xiao Changqi was sixteen years old, because at the Queen Mother's Qianqiu banquet, he kicked the Queen Mother's nephew into the Imperial Garden Lake and drowned stupidly. Due to the sudden death of the previous Fengzhou prefect, a new prefect has not been assigned to the past.

Fengzhou borders the Jin State, the area of the state is not large, and the people are mostly pawn traders, relying on the sale of goods between the two countries to barely make a living, and they also have to face the border of the Jin State from time to time, and the barbaric and fierce bandits harass, the people are not able to make a living.

When Xiao Changqi took office, the situation between the Yan Dynasty and the Jin State was turbulent, Fengzhou was on the border, the people were panicked all day long, the streets in the city were depressed, and the people tried not to go out.

When he first arrived in Fengzhou, Xiao Changqi didn't bother to pay attention to Fengzhou affairs at all, and slept in the government every day. Until one day, someone beat the drum and cried out. The drum is not so easy to beat, all the drummers, whether right or wrong, come to the hall first, in order to show punishment, because the drum is beaten, there will inevitably be adults sitting in the hall, no matter what the adults are doing, they must give priority to the case of the drum, but there are also some trivial things to beat the drums, so that the adults in the hall are overwhelmed, so that all the drumming is beaten, the rule of playing thirty first. And these thirty boards, those with poor physique, can directly remove half a life, so if there is no real injustice, no one will come to beat the drum of injustice.

The drum of grievances sounded, and Xiao Changqi could only sit in the hall according to the rules. But he didn't want to be a physically weak white-clothed scholar named Ren Ran. The person he sued was none other than Xiao Changqi. Because he is in his position, he does not do anything, and lists a bunch of crimes that are difficult to write.

Xiao Changqi was also very wronged, he just didn't do anything. However, it cannot be denied that inaction is also a sin, but it is not too much to mention.

After Ren Ran sued Xiao Changqi, all the officials in the court at that time decided that he would die a good death. Because Xiao Changqi is not only the acting prefect of Fengzhou, he is also the current Nine Emperor Princes, the master of the Heavenly Family. If you are a commoner in cloth and sue your master, aren't you just looking for death?

But Xiao Changqi did not cure him for his crimes, and exempted him from the punishment of drumming, leaving him to be the chief bookkeeper in the palace.

After that, Xiao Changqi did a lot of things under Ren Ran's advice. After three or five months, the appearance of Fengzhou was also changed, and many people who had left their hometowns returned to Fengzhou.

On the first day of the 11th month of Xiao Changqi's tenure as the acting prefect of Fengzhou, the city of Fengzhou was as quiet as usual, or there were a few barking dogs and baby crying, and soldiers patrolling the city walls walked back and forth to guard the city.

However, in the middle of the night, suddenly the fire rushed to the sky, a large number of Jin soldiers poured into the city, burning, killing and looting, all kinds of evil, the people shouted in horror throughout the city, all the guards in Fengzhou City poured out of the nest and fought with the Jin army, almost all the army was annihilated, the Jin army only retreated, Fengzhou City was temporarily saved, but it has been slaughtered and robbed.

Xiao Changqi stood on the city wall, commanding the city guards to resist the enemy, and witnessed how Fengzhou City was broken by the Jin army and how it was destroyed under the iron hooves of the enemy. His hard work for nearly a year was lost under the iron hooves of the Jin Army. The cold wind was bleak, and the firelight reflected his young and handsome face, and the green silk like ink floated behind him, and the bloody aura spread out, completely enveloping him.

At this point, he completely understood that in the border city border, the strength of war is more important than any economic rule.

And Ren Ran, who spurred him on with the beating of drums, stood under the city, surrounded by bloody stumps, including soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, city guards, and women and children of the people...... The white cloth shirt on his body was stained with blood, and he looked up at Xiao Changqi standing on the city wall, his eyes were burning and terrifying!

……

Ye Qingyan was dressed in a plain skirt, light blue, wide sleeves and long hem, without any accessories. Holding the brush with slender fingers, he dotted a red plum on the rice paper, the strong ink-colored plum branches, the bright red plum blossoms and the pure white paper, forming a sharp contrast, as if there was a faint fragrance emanating.

"Jiaojiao's painting is very good." A clear and soft voice sounded in her ears, with a faint smile, "I've never seen you draw before." ”。

His breath seemed to blow through her sideburns, lingering on the tip of her nose, making her heart beat a little faster, and the hand holding the brush was about to continue to order plums, but suddenly the vermilion on the tip of the pen was about to drip on the white paper.
