Zhenguo Gong became the king of Zhenbei, and this matter caused a sensation in the entire Jing Dynasty, and for a long time, it was hotly discussed.

There are discerning people who are in a high position in the capital, and they can naturally see that the reason why Emperor Jingwen made such a will was only because it was difficult to ride a tiger, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly Emperor Jingwen's affirmation of Jiang Heng's contributions over the years.

Zhenguo has countless public merits, even if he is crowned king, he can afford it!

Because of this, in the eyes of ordinary people, Emperor Jingwen and Jiang Heng, one of the monarchs and ministers are loyal ministers and good generals, and the other is a wise and talented Ming Jun, and they get along with each other very well.

Zhenguo Gong, no, now he is the king of Zhenbei, he has been guarding the border pass for more than 20 years, and now the border city has become the fief of the king of Zhenbei, which naturally adds a reason to the king of Zhenbei that he will never let foreign enemies step into the territory of Jing Dynasty.

The people of the Jing Dynasty, because of this, actually gained a lot of confidence, even if the Northern Barbarians had not been repulsed, they all felt that it was only a matter of time.

All of a sudden, the people had an unprecedented affirmation that the Jing Dynasty would usher in victory.

In that respect, this is also a good thing.

Merely......

Those parties, what they think in their hearts, then only they know.

And just as the people wanted to see, Jiang Heng, the king of Zhenbei, did attack the rear of the Northern Barbarian army with great momentum, burning the grain and grass of the Northern Barbarians, directly cutting off the supply of the Northern Barbarians and cutting off their back roads.

After that, Jiang Heng and his soldiers not only resisted the attack of the Northern Barbarians, but also beat the Northern Barbarians to pieces, defeated and fled.

At this point, the Northern Barbarians can no longer become the scourge of the Jing Dynasty.

And this was only a matter of a few months after Wei Fu arrived at the border gate.

Although Jiang Heng, the king of Zhenbei, calmed down the trouble of the Northern Barbarians, many discerning people knew that the next days of the Zhenbei Wangfu were afraid that they would not have a good time.

The border city was assigned to Jiang Heng as a fief by Emperor Jingwen, but in addition to getting such a fief, Jiang Heng needed to provide the military salary of the border army by himself.

I have to say that even though Emperor Jingwen had no choice but to make Jiang Heng the king, the calculation could not be clearer.

The border pass is not rich, and the taxes that Jiang Heng, the king of Zhenbei, can receive are naturally extremely limited, and even the military salary of the border pass army is insufficient.

Even if Jiang Heng tried his best to make up enough military salaries, it is conceivable that he would definitely not have any silver left in his hand.

In this way, of course, Emperor Jingwen did not have to worry about Jiang Heng's disobedience.

If you want to rebel, you also need to have a large amount of silver to support it.

Giving up a border city, but giving up Jing Chao has an extra barrier to resist foreign enemies, as long as this barrier is there, Jing Chao almost no longer has to worry about foreign invasion, so it is not a loss.

Emperor Jing Wen felt that even though Jiang Heng was invincible on the battlefield, if he wanted to raise enough silver for salary, this one thing alone must make him so worried that he couldn't think about anything else.

Not only Emperor Jingwen thought so, but also those important ministers in the court who saw Emperor Jingwen's thoughts clearly and understood the same idea.

But......

The facts soon took them by surprise.

No one expected that Jiang Heng didn't care about this mess at all, but directly pushed everything related to silver to Princess Zhenbei.

When Jiang Heng led the soldiers who had retired from the battlefield to reclaim the wasteland, Wei Fu also made a lot of moves.

There are 100,000 troops stationed at the border pass, and so many soldiers are used to reclaim the wasteland, and the efficiency is naturally needless to say, and the reclaimed so much wasteland, except for a small part of the border pass soldiers who will plant a small part, most of the rest is distributed to the people who are from the border city.

For the people of the border city, this is tantamount to a pie in the sky.

In the past, the border pass was in war all the year round, and many people living here were afraid, and some of them were timid and had a way back, so there were very few people who settled in the city all the year round.

And the reason why these people do not leave is not because it is difficult to leave their homeland, but because they have no place to go, and they live in such fear every day, even if these people have fields, they cannot be very serious.

After all, it's too late to worry about your life.

But now it's different.

The border city has become the fief of the king of Zhenbei, and the family of the king of Zhenbei has taken root here, which gives the people of the border city unprecedented confidence, plus the northern barbarians were quickly suppressed by Jiang Heng with a large army, and the other small barbarian countries, seeing that Xiyi and the Northern Barbarians were defeated and returned one after another, even if they had the intention to invade, they had to weigh whether it was the Jing Dynasty and whether it was Jiang Heng's opponent.

In this way, the possibility of these small barbarian countries invading again is naturally small.

The border city is actually showing a trend of tranquility.

Under such circumstances, and there is good land cultivated by the garrison at the border pass, how can the people be unwilling?

However, after all, there are few people in the border cities, and there are too many barren fields outside the border cities, even if every household in the city is allocated fields, there are still a large number of cultivated fertile fields that no one cultivates.

The most important thing for the border army is still to guard against foreign enemies, and it is impossible to divide a large number of people to farm the land, after all, with the experience of Wei Changzheng, Jiang Heng could not make such a mistake.

But soon, the problem was solved.

There are few people in the border city, so let the people from other places come and settle down.

Jiang Heng spoke directly to the outside world, if there are people willing to settle in the border city, each household can get a few acres of fertile land.

After such news spread, naturally some people dragged their families to the border city.

In these years, there are many people who have no land at home, can only be tenants for people, and may not be able to eat enough food for a hard year, but now there is such a good thing, as long as they settle in the border city, they can directly get the good land, where are these people unhappy?

In the past, there may still be many doubts about coming to the border city to settle down, but now, the border city has become the fief of the king of Zhenbei, and the king of Zhenbei is the god of war of the Jing Dynasty.

So, under Jiang Heng's declaration, countless people rushed from all over the Jing Dynasty.

Soon, the fields that were originally uncultivated were all distributed to the people who had settled down.

Seeing that the people in the border city have such treatment, the people in other parts of the Jing Dynasty are naturally also fluctuating, this is afraid of comparison, the people of the border city can get a good land without doing anything, how can people not be envious?

In addition to envy, many people even thought that since the people of the border city could be like this, then they ......

Sensing that the people actually had such thoughts, the magnates in all parts of the Jing Dynasty were furious.

You must know that most of today's fields are concentrated in the hands of the powerful, which big family does not hold a large number of fields in their hands, and now, the mud legs in the eyes of those powerful people actually think about their industry, which makes these powerful people have a sense of crisis that their interests have been offended.

All of a sudden, excerpts from all over the country were handed to the capital, all accusing Jiang Heng, the king of Zhenbei, of acting recklessly.

In the minds of these people, if it weren't for the king of Zhenbei to take the lead, the people would not have such delusions, if they can't suppress these delusions, maybe something big will happen!

For this reason, Emperor Jingwen also sent people to the border pass.

But......

After the people from the capital came to the border, they didn't see Jiang Heng, they only saw Wei Fu.

Ignoring the dissatisfaction of the angels, Wei Fu directly took people to the treasury of the palace to take a look, pointing to the treasury that was so empty that it could run a mouse.

The gist of it is that the imperial court has also sealed the name of such a king of Zhenbei, neither giving him money nor paying military salaries, just pointing to the fact that he will have to bear the chewing of the 100,000 troops at the border pass, as well as the various expenses of the entire fiefdom, and the Zhenbei Wangfu is almost unable to open the pot!

Using the land to attract people to settle down, that is also a helpless move, who called the border city only so many people, just rely on such a few people, how much tax can they receive?

Even, Wei Fu also cried and said that she was going to enter Beijing with the angels this time, and cry to the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother The situation of the Zhenbei Mansion is difficult!

Straight to the people from Beijing cried so much that they fled.

After all......

What Wei Fu said is not wrong at all, the court will not give anything, this is to embarrass people.

That being the case, even if the Zhenbei Royal Mansion acts a little wrong, isn't it also forced?

And the details of this must not be known by the ordinary people, if the people know, what they think is the harmony between the monarch and the minister, in fact, is just an illusion, and many people are afraid that they will jump to their feet in anger.

Jing Chao finally settled down, and if there was any mutiny caused by this incident, this was also something that Emperor Jing Wen would not want to see.

So, naturally, this matter can only be stopped.

As for the protests of the magnates of the Jing Dynasty, of course, they were suppressed by Emperor Jing Wen.

And after this incident, many people secretly felt that this Zhenbei Wangfu would only make many unexpected moves in the future, and this incident was just the beginning.

In fact, it is.

In the following years, since settling down and dividing the fields, the Zhenbei Wangfu also traded with Xiyi, and transported various specialties of Xiyi to all parts of the Jing Dynasty, and also attracted the pursuit of many powerful people.

With these Xiyi specialties that were very popular with the magnates, the border city, which was rarely visited in the past, began to gradually attract many discerning businessmen, but after a few years of hard work, the border city showed a prosperous and rich scene.

In this regard, everyone in the capital was extremely surprised.

Everyone thought that Jiang Heng was not good at this, where would he have thought that in just a few years, Jiang Heng would be able to make such a big change in the border city?

And just when everyone thought that the border city could have changes now, it was Jiang Heng's work, but there was news from the border city, saying that Jiang Heng had only been in charge of the affairs of the army in the past few years, and everything else was the handiwork of Princess Wei Fu of Zhenbei.

Weifu?

The news caused an uproar.

Although Wei Fu has been away from the capital for several years, a ridiculous lady like Wei Fu can't find a second one with a lantern, so until now, everyone in the capital has a particularly deep impression of Wei Fu.

This is probably because Wei Fu is not in the capital, and the legend of Wei Fu is still circulating in the capital.

It was precisely because of the deep impression of Wei Fu that everyone couldn't believe that the news was true.

Who can believe that such a ridiculous person would be the one who made the border city from a depressed city to the rich and prosperous it is now?

Of course, for Wei Fu and Jiang Heng, it doesn't matter whether these irrelevant people believe it or not.

"It's all unrelated people, it doesn't matter if they believe it or not, as long as I know how good you are, madam, that's fine." Jiang Heng said.

Although their identities have changed now, Jiang Heng is still used to calling Wei Fu "Mrs."

When Wei Fu heard this, his eyes bent into crescents, and he said with a smile: "What the husband said is that we don't care what unrelated people think. ”

Jiang Heng gently took Wei Fu into his arms.

There is a long way to go, and what a blessing they are to have each other by their side.

After hugging each other for a while, Jiang Heng suddenly said: "Madam, that year, my father went to the border and wanted to take me with him, so that I could start to take on the responsibility of being a descendant of the Jiang family......"

At that time, Jiang Heng probably had a bone attack, obviously he had been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, and he had never slackened, but when it came time to make what he had learned in his life play a role, he refused to follow his father Jiang Ye to the border no matter what.

Even, on the eve of Jiang Ye's departure, he ran out of Jiang's house alone.

At that time, the Jiang family was busy because Jiang Ye was going to go on the expedition, so naturally they couldn't take care of Jiang Heng, but they really let him run out.

However, even if he ran out, Jiang Heng had no experience of running away from home, so he didn't bring anything, including silver.

refused to go home, and what he learned since he was a child made Jiang Heng even if he had martial arts, he would not do anything like stealing chickens and touching dogs, so a very handsome young man was hungry for a few days, and the whole person was not only dirty, but also extremely embarrassed.

It doesn't seem to be any different from other little beggars.

On that day, the embarrassed young man walked out from under the eaves where he had curled up and rested all night, and saw that there were already people at the mouth of the alley where he had been squatting for the past few days.

It was a brightly dressed little girl, twelve or thirteen years old, as fresh as a small flower with dew in the early morning.

At first glance, it was known that this little girl must have grown up pampered.

However, what caught the most attention of the young Jiang Heng was not the delicate appearance of the little girl, but the fiery red whip she was holding in her hand.

Xu is out of the kindness of people who practice martial arts when they see the whip, and the young man has forgotten how embarrassed he is now, and he actually regards this strange little girl as an object to talk to, and he talks about how his father is unreasonable, and hastily sets a life path for himself, so that he has to let himself take over the family business, regardless of whether he likes it or not.

In the past few days away from home, the young man has really suffered a lot of white eyes, but the little girl did not show disgust, and even listened to him like this, there was no impatience, which made the young man feel that he had finally found someone who was willing to listen to him.

But......

Before the young man could finish all his grievances against his father, the little girl raised her hand and gave him a whip.

As a person who practices martial arts, being whipped by this little girl is just a little heavier than tickling for Jiang Heng, in fact, if he hadn't been hungry for a few days and was completely defenseless against this little girl, he would not have been beaten.

However, why did this little girl suddenly do something to him?

Just when the young man was puzzled, the little girl pointed a whip at his nose and scolded: "Can you still have a little talent?" Your dad just wants you to take over the family business, what's wrong with that? You've been growing up at home for more than ten years, don't you know what kind of responsibility you should bear? ”

"You don't know how to cherish such a good father, look at the kiln opposite, my unobtrusive father is now waiting for my mother to send silver over!"

Speaking of this, the little girl's expression was stubborn, and there was a faint hint of hatred in her eyes.

The young man couldn't say another word for a long time.

Thinking about what the little girl said, and then looking at her strange fists and angry appearance, as well as the disappointment she hid in the depths of her heart, the young man suddenly felt that these complaints and dissatisfaction of his own were actually relying on his father's love for him and high hopes for him, which seemed to suddenly become a little ridiculous, and even a little hypocritical.

Before he could say anything more, the little girl had already run away.

The boy originally wanted to catch up, but felt that he might have to take his own responsibility first.

As for the little girl who woke him up......

When he returns to Beijing in the future, he can naturally appear in front of her with a different, new look.

The past from many years ago came to mind, Jiang Heng lowered his head, imprinted a kiss on Wei Fu's hair, and said softly with a smile: "Madam, for me, the luckiest thing is probably that I was whipped by a stubborn little girl that year......

Because of that whip, he began to understand what responsibility was, and he began to try to take his responsibility.

Although he still failed to get to the battlefield before his father died on the battlefield, he did not live up to his father's high expectations for him, took over the burden of supporting the entire Jiang family from his father's shoulders, and protected the Jiang family and the entire Jing Dynasty behind him in the past.

It was also because of that whip that he was able to get acquainted with the little girl, and eventually made the little girl his wife.

Thinking like this in his heart, Jiang Heng's gaze was as soft as water.

Wei Fu was stunned.

In the past, Jiang Heng mentioned that when they first met, she gave him a whip at that time, but Wei Fu couldn't remember the scene at that time.

Now listening to Jiang Heng say this, she finally found this matter from the depths of her memory.

Originally......

"It was you!"

Wei Fu was a little surprised.

Who knew that that brief encounter would be the beginning of their companionship?

But then, Wei Fu's gaze softened.

Just as Jiang Heng was grateful for their first encounter, Wei Fu was also grateful for that encounter.

If not, how would they be where they are now?

The two had the same idea in their hearts, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Either way, they met, fell in love, and would stay together until the years changed, until the gray hair turned gray.
