Chapter 83
Yin Cheng didn't speak for a long time.
The population of Fan County is about 200,000, of which there are more than 30,000 men with 12 surnames and more than 20,000 women. The remaining 140,000 people were their slaves and maidservants, as well as slaves in the mines, cultivated fields, and fruit groves.
According to Yin Hui's thoughts, the twelve surnames have been rooted in Fan County for thousands of years, and it is refreshing to copy them all at once, but it also means that Fan County is directly paralyzed from the top to the grassroots. Unless the imperial court sends someone to take care of it and garrison it here, the slaves and miners who have long been domesticated will maintain order by themselves? No kidding!
But Yin Changying's thinking is very eclectic.
Why send officials and troops to come all the way here to supervise? Instead of bothering and laborious, it may not be possible to make it good, why don't you move these people to Minjun next door and let Liu He take care of it?
It just so happened that there was a shortage of women to be weavers in Minxian County, and there was also a shortage of men to farm.
In the great migration of this era, there must be dead people on the road, which is different from the Chengdan being sent to Minjun.
Middle-aged men, no matter how hard the journey is, as long as they are given enough food, the probability of survival is also high. But the old, weak, women and children, it is very likely that if one of them is not careful, they will fall behind, and if they are sick, they will be gone.
140,000 people, once they move to Minjun, they will go all the way over the mountains and mountains, and they will be poor mountains and bad waters, and they can live seventy percent of the time.
Therefore, Yin Ji didn't think about it in this direction at all.
But Yin Changying doesn't care!
Anyway, Fanjun is still the territory of Zhaoguo, and there are salt workers and miners who have been working hard here, so what does it matter if the others are moved away?
Yin Ji hesitated for a moment before saying, "Can you not move?" β
Yin Changying knew that Yin Cheng had relented again.
For the 140,000 people of Fan County, this is a major event related to their lives, but for Yin Changying, it is just a sentence of effort, so he said casually: "The imperial court never collects taxes from Fan County, and uses cinnabar to offset it." If the people voluntarily use mines in lieu of taxes, they can not move. β
This is also the proper meaning.
As a member of the country, the imperial court does not levy military service in Fan County, so you always have to pay taxes, right? The problem is that in this broken place, the annual grain collected from farming is not enough to pay taxes, so it can only be deducted with special ores.
Yin Ji was suddenly confused.
For ordinary people, whether it is mining or migration, it is not a good choice.
With such a trade-off, it seems that it is better to move to Minjun, after all, migration is only a short-term pain, but mining is a never-ending burden for generations, children and grandchildren.
What's more, she has already decided that the family members are used for mining and boiling salt, and ordinary people can't play a role! Do you have a clear conscience and transform them into a family?
But for no reason, the family moved in a big way, and there were countless casualties along the way......
Yin Auntie's face was gloomy, and she was in a dilemma, but Yin Changying said: "Lone has instructed Liu He, and the meaning of Auntie is the meaning of Lonely." β
The implication is that he has already decided to hand over the handling of Fan County to Yin Hui.
Yin Ji had even more headaches.
She is not used to this kind of thing that can change the fate of countless people with one sentence, but Yin Changying gave her power, and she can't refuse, because other people will not take the lives of the people seriously.
Yin Ji looked up at Yin Changying, wondering whether to say the sentence "I'm not your sister, I don't have this power".
But first, she knows that the power given to her by Yin Changying is not because she is a royal sister, and ordinary princesses will never have such power, just because she is a witch, she can get such privileges; The second is that King Chen's terrible words hovered in her mind like a curse, choking the words she wanted to say.
Yin Changying misestimated the reason for her hesitation, gently rubbed her hair, her posture was calm, but her tone was unquestionable: "Auntie, in this world, the only things worth putting in your heart are Zhaoguo and Lonely." β
Yin Ji was silent for a long time before she said, "Never look down?" β
Of course, she knew that if she wanted to get ahead in the era of royal supremacy, she had to do two things, one was to gain the king's trust, and the other was to have enough ability.
But she really can't do it, not to look at the suffering, miserable, struggling to live all sentient beings.
Yin Changying patted her shoulder lightly and didn't say anything more.
In the next second, his figure had disappeared.
Zheng Gao had no memory in the process of being descended by the gods, but as soon as he regained consciousness and saw Yin Xi's depressed expression, his heart chuckled.
Yin Ji had already recovered and said to Zheng Gao: "Master Zheng, let's go back!" In about these two days, the people of Minjun will arrive. β
Zheng Gao knew that the princess did not accuse him of concealing the meaning of not reporting, but he still said cautiously: "The transfer of troops and aircraft is a matter of great importance, and the minister does not dare to speak out without permission." β
Of course, Yin Ji knew this, if Zheng Gao's mouth was not tight enough, he would not be able to live now.
So she nodded, didn't say anything, and the two manipulated the power of the wind and returned to Chenxian's residence.
But as soon as she returned to Chen County, Yin Ji found that the atmosphere was not right, and before she could open her mental power and figure out the situation, Zheng Gao had already asked the palace people who were waiting on the side: "In the past few days, has something happened?" β
"Back to the princess, back to Lord Zheng, there is indeed a matter." The palace man said respectfully, "The only son of the eldest lady of the Lei family disappeared two days ago. The Lei family is making a fuss about whether to change the line or to succeed in the end. The other principals with eleven surnames happened to come to see the princess and were also involved. β
When Zheng Gao heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Such trivial matters are also worth paying back to the princess?" β
The palace man immediately clapped his mouth: "The slave is guilty and should be punished." β
"Stop." Yin Ji stopped the temple people from masochizing themselves in front of her, and sighed lightly to Zheng Gao: "Lord Zheng, I understand your kindness to me, butββ"
She knew very well in her heart that Zheng Gao deliberately did a wicked person and asked her to show grace.
But why bother?
Whether others love or hate her, it's all someone else's business. She can't interfere with other people's feelings, and she doesn't want to interfere.
Yin Ji was halfway through her words, but she stopped again, shook her head, and said, "That's it, when I didn't say it." β
Even if Zheng Gao cares about her, to a large extent, Yin Changying values her, what does it matter if he indirectly flatters Yin Changying by flattering her?
No matter what the reason, people are good to her now, does she still want to push people away?
It's just that......
Yin Xi pondered for a moment before she said, "Yang Xiu's only son is goneβ"
This matter is too strange.
Zheng Gao observed his words and asked the palace people: "Where is Yang Xiu?" β
"Back to the princess, back to Lord Zheng, the eldest lady of the Lei family is in the side hall, and wants to see the princess."
Yin Cheng nodded: "Then see you!" β
The palace people immediately went to spread the word, and after a while, Yang Xiu, who was dressed in the dress of the county guard and had gorgeous makeup, slowly walked in and saluted Yin Xi: "I've seen the princess." β
Zheng Gao sensed that something was wrong and immediately looked at Yin Ji.
Yin Cheng shook her head and motioned for him to make another move.
Then, she looked at Yang Xiu and sighed softly: "Ah Xiu, you hate me? β
"Minister, don't dare."
"Then why is there a knife hidden in your sleeve?"
