In front of the Huiyun Pavilion in Beijing, several richly dressed idlers were about to enter the door laughing, but they were stopped by several tall subordinates standing at the door.

"I'm sorry, our lord chartered the venue today, and you should go elsewhere for recreation." The subordinate said politely.

Huiyun Pavilion is a new teahouse that has only been opened in Beijing for less than two years, whether it is a storyteller, or a tea doctor who waits, and even the box, the hall, and the surrounding scenery, all of which are the top selections in the Beijing teahouse, and every day is full of traffic, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive.

What's wrong today, who is so generous and has contracted the Huiyun Pavilion, this is not something that can be done for a little money, and it also needs to be powerful and powerful.

The idlers couldn't see that they could get in, so they grunted a few times and left. Anyway, there is no Huiyun Pavilion, and there are other places.

In the huge Huiyun Pavilion, except for the Dr. Tea who was waiting, and the storyteller who was babbling on the stage, there were only four people seated.

These four people are Yan Xiuyu, Ling Xiao, Shui Mu and Ling Lie.

"Brother Lie, Shui Mu, my brother is inconvenient to go out, so ask me to meet with you. You must be patient, if you have anything to say, tell me directly, I will definitely relay it to my brother, don't beat around the bush, lest I can't convey my meaning and delay everyone's affairs. Yan Xiuyu said straight to the point.

Lord Yan has always been indifferent to outside affairs, and he has never pulled with courtiers. But the relationship between the Yan Wangfu and the Ling family has always been very good, and if the Ling family has something to ask the Yan Wangfu to help, the Yan Wangye will not shirk it. The reverse is also true.

Ling Lie smiled and looked at Yan Xiuyu, who had been proud of the spring breeze recently, and said, "Why are you still so characterful, okay, we are not outsiders, and we don't beat around the bush with you." We are here today to tell you about the Zhongwang Mansion. ”

"Zhongwang Mansion......" Yan Xiuyu frowned, shook his head and said, "But it's not easy to do!" I entered the palace a few days ago to attend the holy banquet, although the emperor did not speak, but listening to the prince's meaning, the frontier has already been guarded by a general, and no more people will be sent, and no more troops will be transferred. Shuimu, if you go to the north, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”

I didn't expect Yan Xiuyu's straight brain to think of such a far-reaching place, and suddenly blocked the easiest road for the Shui family, and Ling Xiao and his wife's faces showed a solemn look.

After thinking about it, they were all the same as Yan Xiuyu at the beginning, and they couldn't guess which general was sent to the north. However, this did not delay them from understanding one thing, the road to the north probably did not work.

"Hey, did someone teach you how to say it in advance, we haven't mentioned it yet, you know what we asked." Ling Lie knew Yan Xiuyu very well, and knew that with Yan Xiuyu himself, he couldn't think so far-reaching, so he couldn't help asking.

"Le Xuan mentioned to me before, when I entered the palace, try to find out what the Holy Lord thinks about the frontier, so as not to send me, the martial champion, to the border. At that time, he told me that the Shui family was interested in going to the Beishu border. ”

"This Lexuan is a talent! He obviously didn't have any contact with the Shui family, but based on some information on the surface, he could infer it so deeply! Ling Lie's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He and Le Xuan have never met, and the Ling family is a family of military generals, and the Le family has been civil officials for generations, so they have no intersection with each other, but they have been famous for Le Xuan for a long time.

At the beginning, Le Xuan led hundreds of Bailu Academy students to travel thousands of miles to Qingzhou to defend the border, and the deeds spread in Bailu Academy, which had resumed classes, and the entire capital.

With this feat, as long as the learning is not too bad, after passing the scientific examination, the official career of this group of students in the future will definitely not be bad.

Especially the leader of it, Le Xuan, although he fell off the list this time, his family background and the previous reviews of studying in the academy are there, and he will definitely be able to make great achievements.

Shui Mu is actually not very good at these things in the court. His eyes lit up and asked Yan Xiuyu, "What else did Le Xuan say?" ”

"He didn't say anything else." Yan Xiuyu replied.

Shui Mu couldn't help but feel a little lost, if there was Le Xuan as a staff officer, this matter would be easy to handle.

He rubbed his hands, wanting to ask Yan Xiuyu if he could help him introduce Le Xuan, looking at Shui Mu's expectant gaze, Yan Xiuyu probably understood his thoughts, and said, "Don't think about it so much, Le Xuan failed the exam this time, and he had already returned to Qingzhou the day before yesterday, and he was on the road now." I won't come over until the end of next year, when Qingge and I get married. ”

Shui Mu let out a sigh of loss.

Two days, say early is not early, say late is not late, if you go to chase, it is likely to catch up. But he and Le Xuan have never known each other in their lives, so they are in a hurry to block people's roads and ask people for help, but people may not be willing to help, and they will have a bad impression.

Fortunately, he had some other preparations in advance, so he was not so disappointed. He said to Yan Xiuyu: "Little Lord Yan, can you tell me how you thought of moving the people of the Northern Barbarians into the mainland in the first place. ”

"That's not what I thought." Yan Xiuyu wondered for a while, how could anyone think that the plan was his idea, and said, "This is the method that my master, Master Le Yile, and another Lord Xun thought of together, don't you know?" ”

Shui Mu was stunned for a moment, only then did he know that the rumors outside were wrong.

Now the matter of Yan Xiuyu is spread outside to the gods, and all the credits and matters related to the Northern Barbarians have been piled up on Yan Xiuyu. However, Le Yi and Lord Xun, who originally made great contributions to this matter, made a statement that was buried.

However, this is not a big deal, Shui Mu asked, "Then you will always personally lead the team to settle the barbarians." When you settled them, did you encounter something special? ”

"Well, because Master and Master Xun helped, I just led the troops to suppress the formation and sent people to it. However, there have been cases where some barbarians are unwilling to live and are willing to come back with me as a slave, but I have not agreed. Yan Xiuyu said lightly.

In fact, when he was resettling those people, he was also troubled by many officials, but he was in a hurry to finish his work and return to Beijing as soon as possible, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and simply and rudely put people on the ground, basically leaving it alone.

Shui Mu listened, his heart was slightly calm, and said, "That's good." ”

"Shui Mu, what do you want to do?" Yan Xiuyu asked.

"I want to follow your example of settling the northern barbarians and move the southern barbarians to the interior as well." Shui Mu said.

"Huh?" Yan Xiuyu was puzzled and said: "But at the beginning, Master told me that the strategy of moving to the northern barbarians was not so easy to use on the southern barbarians. ”

"What did Master Le say?" Shui Mu's heart tightened and asked. He didn't listen to other people's words, but Le Yi father and son have a very good set of people's livelihood, and what he said must be very pertinent.

"Master said that most of the northern barbarians are grasslands, the climate is harsh in winter, and there are a large group of people born according to the tribe, and it is not difficult to move them to the interior, and in the future, they will have land to plant, food to eat, and can live a full life, and then use the tribe as a village with the same surname to manage, they will not make trouble. And there are many boys and girls in the Northern Barbarians, and after they move here, they will not be too resisted by the locals of Dazhou. The Nanban mostly lived in the mountains and forests, which were very scattered, where the climate was humid and warm, and the temperature was high all year round, and the barbarians only worked for less than three months a year before they stopped working. They have no tribal family concept, and they have developed the habit of laziness, and when they come to Dazhou, they will feel that life is hard and restrictive, and they will definitely not give in, and they are afraid that they will flee back immediately. ”

Listening to Yan Xiuyu relay the living habits of the Southern Barbarians, Shui Mu, who had been in the southwest for a long time, couldn't help but be stunned.

That's not the way it is!

The laziness of the Southern Barbarians, when he first saw it, he was simply stunned.

Because the climate is not cold, and they are not good at weaving, the Nanban people only have three sets of clothes in their lives, one when they are one year old, one when they are young, one when they are young, and one when they are married. Most of the clothes of the southern barbarians only reached the navel, and all of them were half-armed.

He asked the Nanban locals why they wore such clothes, and the reason he got was that the clothes would always be torn anyway, and if they were less, they would be less torn.

And they used to cook a meal every morning, then knead it into a rice ball, and touch one to eat when they are hungry. There are even some families who only raise a fire once in three days, and eat cold rice balls the rest of the time. The reason for this is also because of laziness! Eating raw chicken, snake meat, and the like is even more ubiquitous.

Nanban has a humid and warm climate, and can harvest three crops of rice a year, but he has never seen anyone plant three crops, and even those who plant two crops are rare. Obviously, the extra rice can be exchanged for money, and no one will spend more time on that.

Their survival philosophy is not to starve to death.

As for what are the Nanban people doing in normal times?

Nanban is rich in a plant called smoke, they roast the leaves of that plant, cut into shreds, and then put them in a variety of different materials of smoking guns, or roll a leaf with a little fire, regardless of men, women and children, lying in the sun smoking in a daze, a day is over, is their normal life.

That kind of tobacco leaves, Shui Mu has tried, very choking, very strong, take a puff, cough for a long time, and the rest of the day, my head is dizzy, I can't think about anything, it's really cloudy.

Such southern barbarians, if they move to the interior, I am afraid that they will not be able to adapt to the rhythm of life of ploughing at sunrise and resting at sunset, and they will escape immediately!

Looking at the indescribable expression on Shui Mu's face, Yan Xiuyu said, "Shui Mu, otherwise, I will write to help you ask Master to see if there is a solution." ”

Shui Mu shook his head and said, "I thanked Little Lord Yan first." But this matter needs to be considered in the long term. ”

Waiting for Le Yi to reply from Qingzhou, which is thousands of miles away, and then move the Nanban people in, I am afraid that a few years have passed, and the Shui family is now like fire and water, and what he wants is a first aid method.

If the Nanban side can be put on the agenda like the Beiban migration, and move on the same day, the results will be immediate, but it is better to say that this situation is not at all far from quenching the thirst of the near.

Ling Xiao, who had been silent beside him, said: "Brother Shui Mu, let's get to the point." ”

Shui Mu nodded, and said to Yan Xiuyu in a slow voice: "Little Prince Yan, we have obtained some evidence of the rebellion between the second prince and the Jing Palace, and we want you to help and present it to the emperor." ”

"You have such good things." Yan Xiuyu was excited for a while, and slapped the table.

There are too many people in the capital who are not used to seeing the second prince and the Jing Wangfu, and Yan Xiuyu is one of them. What's more, the position of Lord Yan was removed because the second prince and the party were dismissed, and he was replaced by the fifth prince to succeed him.

Let's ask the fifth prince, an eight-year-old child, what kind of criminal department and Dali Temple can manage, it is not that someone is behind it.

This incident alone made Yan Xiuyu particularly disgusted with the second prince's faction.

If there is evidence to bring down the second prince's lineage, Yan Xiuyu really can't ask for it!
