The Great Qin Empire attracted spring rains that were as expensive as oil.

However, the Yongzhou of the Great Qin Empire has been broken, and it is not a bloodless sword, it can only be said that it has solved some iron-clad men.

Yuan Zheng entered Yongzhou and entered this thick and elegant mansion.

At a glance, the architectural pattern of Daqin is not so fancy, but it is calm and heavy, ingenious and unworked, and dignified and majestic.

Suzaku and Meng Jin stood on the left and right of Yuan Zheng, the taste of the escort of the two Heavenly Realm masters was actually very good, although Yuan Zheng entered the underworld, but the land of Great Qin was a dangerous place after all.

With or without the escort of a Heaven Realm master, it is completely different.

Lin Guangyu announced: "Yongzhou's large and small cities, thirty-six, have been taken, and the leaders of the enemy army, those who cannot surrender, have also been killed. ”

Yuan Zheng nodded indifferently after hearing this.

said: "People, they are all very contradictory. ”

"When I attacked Daqin, I hoped that there would be a lot of surrendered soldiers, and then we ourselves could die a few fewer soldiers, but in fact, I admired those men who would rather die than surrender. ”

"Although Daqin has exhausted his qi, there are still people who are willing to shed their blood for this empire that has run out of qi, such a Daqin, even if he dies, will leave a strong mark in the history books. ”

"Pass on my order, all the Great Qin soldiers who died in the battle should be buried. ”

Lin Guangdao: "Obey." ”

After winning Yongzhou, Yuan Zheng has already begun to calculate who is the lord of Yongzhou, and there is really no suitable candidate in the current lineup of the top of the clouds.

After thinking about it, Yuan Zheng thought of a person.

Li Zeqin, who once repaired the city wall in Yongzhou, Daqin, was in charge of military affairs and politics, and he was also quite popular, no matter how he calculated, he was a very suitable candidate.

In Yongzhou City, there are two masters of the Heavenly Realm, and there are even masters like Suzaku whose combat power cannot be measured according to common sense, Yuan Zheng can certainly appear anywhere in Yongzhou with confidence.

Yuan Zheng called Li Zeqin and Li Yu.

Li Zeqin looked at Yuan Zheng today, feeling a little uncomfortable and a little happy, in short, he had mixed feelings.

The uncomfortable part is that this young man finally took the initiative in the war of the Great Qin Empire.

Happily, this young man did not take advantage of the danger of others, and still used the power of the dragon vein to send a spring rain as expensive as oil to the entire empire that was about to collapse, no matter what, the people of Daqin are innocent.

But in fact, Yuan Zheng also has his own thoughts, if Yuan Zheng doesn't give Daqin a spring rain as expensive as oil, then even if he gets Daqin, it will be a hot potato, the fields are dry, and the people are hungry and don't choose to eat.

No matter how you choose, for Yuan Zheng, it is a thing that will hurt your vitality.

This spring rain is not just to appease the people of Daqin.

Li Yu was silent, after living on the top of the clouds for a long time, he almost understood the political system of the top of the clouds, and sighed in his heart, this is an advantage that Great Qin does not have, although the Great Qin Empire is united, but the top of the clouds is the same.

In addition, the power structure of the top of the clouds is determined by the size of the ability.

Of course, nobles will also have the privileges of aristocrats, such as Li Chen, Fu Xuanhuang, and the future heirs of these people will definitely be hereditary, but for most people, as long as their ability is enough, they will also become the next Li Chen, Fu Xuanhuang.

In addition, the rule of inaction pursued by the top of the clouds did not have the rules formulated for this heaven and earth like the original Confucianism, nor did it give the king a bargaining chip to concentrate power.

In the hearts of ordinary people, every time they think of the structure of the top of the clouds, they will also breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Because in Daqin, joining the army is a good entry, but after the general has done it to a certain extent, even if there is no so-called murder, but if you want to go to the next level, it is also very difficult, unless you encounter a very valuable opportunity, otherwise, after reaching a certain level, you can only slowly decay in the sophistication of human feelings.

This is common to the temples of Shikoku.

Gradually, Li Zeqin and Li Yu also recognized Yuan Zheng's top of the clouds, and at the same time found that Yuan Zheng's desire for power did not seem to be so great, he just wanted to realize his life ambitions.

As for such things as glory and wealth, Yuan Zheng really doesn't care much.

People who have probably seen the far-reaching rivers and lakes are not so concerned about the so-called glory and wealth.

But I didn't know that Yuan Zheng came out, and if he didn't fight, it was a big fight.

In essence, when Yuan Zheng established the top of the clouds, as a disciple of Guigu, he naturally had to do something in the world of great contention, and on behalf of the Guigu faction to change the fate of heaven and earth.

Just do his best, as for whether Yuan Zheng will become the so-called human emperor, he doesn't care about it himself, but there must be a human emperor, even if that person will not be Yuan Zheng.

The last time the world was unified, it was in ancient times.

People are nostalgic for antiquity, not for other reasons, but because antiquity, which is not so complicated, and also solidifies the foundation of future generations.

The sun rises and the sun sets, which is the fate of many ordinary people.

However, some ordinary people are willing to do this, and naturally some ordinary people are not willing to live such a life, so there is a fight.

After ending this kind of battle, it will probably draw a prototype for the royal paradise in Yuan Zheng's heart.

Yuan Zheng said: "I also came to Yongzhou at the beginning, but my identity was Gong Heng at the beginning, and after coming here, I also had the mentality of traveling to Daqin, and by the way, take a look at what the rivers and lakes of Daqin are like, often, the situation on the rivers and lakes actually represents the situation above the temple." ”

"The rivers and lakes of Daqin are not gloomy, but they are thicker, more far-reaching, and more humane than the rivers and lakes of Dawei. ”

"It's a pity, the world is four-legged, and it is destined not to be peaceful, every monarch has his own ambition. ”

"Behind the ambitions of big people, there are often the joys and sorrows of countless people. ”

"Actually, even I did, and I did these things, and many of them, because of me, died, or died on a night that no one knows, or died on the battlefield, or died in battle with others. ”

"I feel guilty, but I have to go on until I finish this journey. ”

The scenery after coming to the end, Yuan Zheng did not imagine what it was, that is, what it was.

It's not the end yet, and imagination alone doesn't do much good.

Li Zeqin asked, "Then how does the throne want to govern the land of Yongzhou?" ”

Although it is true that Daqin's qi has been exhausted, Daqin's military strength is still not to be underestimated, after all, there is the support of the gods high behind him.

On the issue of how to govern Yongzhou, Yuan Zheng is also extremely cautious.

In other words, if the top of the clouds gets the land of Yongzhou, which makes the people of Yongzhou very dissatisfied, then the people of the entire Daqin will be very dissatisfied with the top of the clouds, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In other words, if you take care of the emotions of the people of the entire land of Yongzhou, it is equivalent to taking care of the emotions of the people of the entire Daqin.

Although the common people have followed the trend since ancient times, whoever stutters is the father and mother's parents, but they can't ignore it, if they want to prosper the government, they must obey the people's will.

Yuan Zheng said: "For how to govern the land of Yongzhou, I myself am more confused, to be honest, I am not a Qin person after all, after coming here, I don't understand many things, if I am rashly governed the land of Yongzhou, there may be many mistakes." ”

"In my opinion, uncle, you will be the master of the land of Yongzhou in the future, how to govern, uncle to decide, what do you think?"

Li Zeqin was stunned, he didn't expect Yuan Zheng to be so direct.

Even Lin Guang and the others were stunned when they heard this.

Li Zeqin was unwilling to return to the top of the clouds, and was placed under house arrest by Yuan Zheng, and after the house arrest ended, he became the master of Yongzhou.

If this matter is handled carelessly, it will inevitably hurt the hearts of some soldiers.

In addition, even if Li Zeqin becomes the master of the land of Yongzhou, the soldiers around Li Zeqin are all soldiers on the top of the clouds, as for the part of the soldiers who surrendered to Daqin, they have already been arranged by Yuan Zheng to the land of Shangcheng in the clouds and Lingzhou, and it is impossible for those soldiers to continue to stay in the land of Yongzhou.

Li Zeqin is in politics, and the people around him are not his own people.

For a future politician, this is undoubtedly a great test.

For example, some generals were not convinced by Li Zeqin and deliberately made Li Zeqin ugly, so that Li Zeqin had no way to implement many measures in the first time.

There may even be a situation where Li Zeqin may be overthrown.

Unconsciously, becoming a puppet is also really possible.

Li Zeqin said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid I don't have that kind of talent." ”

Yuan Zheng said: "As far as I know, my uncle's talent should be more than enough to govern the entire Yongzhou, why be so humble." ”

"I also know what my uncle is afraid of. ”

"Since my uncle has no way to accept this matter for a while, it is not too late to discuss it later. ”

"However, this was once a place of service, my uncle should not mind, take me to the streets and alleys of Yongzhou to walk around, so that I can understand the customs of Yongzhou when I have a leader, and in my heart, I have a good preparation for Yongzhou's future political initiatives." ”

Li Zeqin said: "Actually, I also know what you are thinking in your heart, but if you want to get the hearts of the people of Daqin, in my opinion, you still need to open a warehouse to release grain, and you also need to appease Huairou, and the pensions of the dead soldiers cannot be less." ”

It doesn't hurt to agree to such a request, after all, this battle, on the whole, is still very smooth, and there is no waste of money and labor.

Yongzhou's treasury is still relatively full.

To appease Huairou, it is more than enough to do it with real money.

However, looking at it from another angle, if the next war is not so smooth, and there are countless casualties, continue to use Li Zeqin's method to gather people's hearts and appease Huairou, I am afraid that the treasury at the top of the clouds may not be able to withstand it.

This incident really stumped Yuan Zheng, because once he agreed to Li Zeqin's request, it meant that Yuan Zheng would ensure a complete victory in every battle in Daqin in the future.

Not to mention failure, even a crushing victory is not allowed.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Zheng said: "Since it was my uncle who made such a request, I agreed. ”

Li Zeqin said depressedly in his heart: "You believe me so much?"

Yuan Zhengdao: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, that's it, my uncle is a person from Daqin, and he will be a person from Daqin in the future, even if I get the entire Daqin, the entire Daqin has become the territory of the top of the clouds, but what is deep in the blood of the Qin people will not change." ”

"Uncle will do the same. ”

"But at that time, the world was in harmony, and it was not so important who was a Qin person or a Wei person. ”

"This world is destined to be unified, even if I don't unify this world, there will naturally be another powerful person to unify the whole world, this is the inevitability of history, in the face of such a trend, whether the uncle is a Wei person, a Qin person, or a family and country feelings, it is not so important. ”

"I naturally hope in my heart that the people of Shikoku can put aside their past prejudices and hatreds, eat meat and drink wine at the same table, and have a good time, and I have been working hard for this matter. ”

"It's hard to happen, my uncle doesn't want to see such a landscape. ”

Li Zeqin was speechless for a while.

Even a great god like Suzaku has an appreciative look of appreciation for Yuan Zheng at this moment.

After pondering for a long time, Li Zeqin said: "Since you want to walk around Yongzhou, then let's go for a walk." ”

Yuan Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, refreshing." ”

Li Zeqin led the way, Li Yu followed, Yuan Zheng did not take two Heavenly Realm masters to escort him this time, he was already a master of the Underworld, besides, with Yuan Zheng's current strength, even if he faced the Heavenly Realm master, he couldn't beat it, but it could be delayed for a while, enough to delay until Suzaku and Meng Jin went to save him.

This is the confidence that comes from the strong.

Li Zeqin did not take Yuan Zheng to the bustling city, but arrived at a farmer's home on the outskirts of Yongzhou.

A rather shabby mud house, a watchdog, a field of crops, an old man who was blind in one eye, dressed in a coarse linen coat, and his legs and feet were not very neat.

The spring rain passed, and the crops were still relatively wet, and the old man sat on the threshold alone, making a pot of coarse tea, and after seeing Li Zeqin and Li Yu coming, the old man quickly got up.

said: "The old man has seen the adult. ”

Li Zeqin waved his hand and said, "Elder Xu doesn't need to be polite, I came in a hurry today, and I didn't have time to bring you some grain, oil and meat, and I hope Elder Xu doesn't mind this matter." ”

Xu Lao smiled and said: "My lord's words are serious, over the years, thanks to the care of adults, I have this little crop land and this place to stay, otherwise, I would have starved to death." ”

Yuan Zheng glanced at this old man, blind in one eye, in his daily life, there are bound to be many inconveniences.

Li Zeqin introduced to Xu Lao: "This one is Yuan Zheng, the master of the top of the clouds. ”

Old Xu's face didn't change much, he just glanced at Yuan Zheng calmly, and said: "It turned out to be such a distinguished guest, but it's a pity that I don't have good wine and meat to serve here, I hope the son will not dislike it." ”

While speaking, Xu Lao poured a cup of tea for Yuan Zheng.

Tea is full of stars.

It can be seen that the living conditions of this old man are very poor.

The three or five people did not enter the house, because the inside of the house would be even more shabby, and outside the house, you could see the distant city and the beautiful landscape.

Sitting on the small bench, Li Zeqin said: "Xu Lao originally had two sons and a daughter, no matter how you looked at it, his old age would be very happy. ”

However, it backfired. ”

"Xu Lao's wife, when she was young, left with her daughter, I heard that she secretly sold her daughter to a large family and lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food, whether she lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food, it is still unknown. ”

"The two sons, like many hot-blooded sons of Great Qin, joined the army. ”

"It's a pity that I died on the battlefield, and I died in Cangyun City. ”

"It was not in the hands of the Great Wei soldiers, but in the hands of General Li Chen's phoenix wings. ”

Although the pension was issued, the old man insisted on using the pension to find a good yin house for his two sons. ”

Although I found two good mansions, the two sons of the old man, like all the soldiers, were incinerated by a unified fire because they had no time to be buried. ”

"I can only put the clothes of my two sons when they were young in that yin house. ”

"War is destined to shed blood and tears. ”

"Not to mention the distance, even in this Yongzhou territory, many old people's sons died on the battlefield, or died on the phoenix wings gilded hammer, or died on the spear of the Heavenly Saint Overlord, in short, no matter what, they all have an irresolvable blood feud with the top of the clouds. ”

The saddest thing in this world is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person.

Xu Lao is one of them, so he doesn't have a good impression of Yuan Zheng, nor does he have any bad feelings.

Yuan Zheng was very calm, and he didn't feel so uncomfortable, this was originally a confused account, because many of the soldiers at the top of the clouds also died under the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.

I don't know how to calculate this account.

Yuan Zheng asked: "How many old people like this are there in Yongzhou?"

Li Zeqin said: "In your opinion, how to deal with these things?"

Yuan Zheng said: "Gather all the old people together, resettle, send special people to serve, and those who can be self-sufficient, try to be self-sufficient." ”

"It is indeed a sad thing to have no children to hang around with. ”

"But there are more sad things, and as much as we can make up for them, that's how much. ”

Li Zeqin said: "In the land of Yongzhou, there are not a few old people like this, and the war is not over yet, and spending too much real money on this kind of thing is not necessarily a good thing for the overall situation of your future." ”

Yuan Zheng said slowly: "The war will not start for the time being, Daqin is now sorting out internal affairs, there is no work for half a year, we will not start a war with Daqin, in this period of time, we will take care of the people of Yongzhou as much as possible." ”

"That's all there is to it. ”

Li Zeqin said: "You don't mind?"

Yuan Zhengdao: "Mind or not, the matter is already here, if you don't deal with it, it will always be a thing, and there will even be more old people, because they don't have the strength to serve a bowl to eat, and starve to death." ”

This time, Li Zeqin finally realized Yuan Zheng's determination to the land of Yongzhou.

said: "Since Gongzi has such an idea, then I am willing to become the assassin of Yongzhou." ”

Yuan Zheng glanced at the old man who had lost one eye and said: "I don't know how to comfort you, I know that your heart is very uncomfortable, but I can only try to ensure that people like you can have a good end in the future." ”

"I'm not the kind of demon lord who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, I will treat you well. ”

"Since you don't have a son anymore, make me your son. ”

Xu Lao's eyes were not ruddy, he just nodded with a smile, I don't know what to say, of course it is better for his son to be his own, if there is a choice, this old man is not willing to meet Yuan Zheng here.

Yuan Zheng and Li Zeqin did not stay here for a long time, Li Zeqin took Yuan Zheng to continue to visit the homes of many lonely old people in Yongzhou, and each time he did not bring gifts.

But this time, after a walk with Li Zeqin.

In Yongzhou, many elderly people who are living in poverty and have no children in front of them have put on new clothes and lived in courtyards that are not decent or shabby, and the food they eat is not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, but there is also oil and water.

It was this one thing that the treasury of Yongzhou suddenly shrank a lot.

War can only slowly reduce the labor force, a young man, is the pillar of the family, with the beginning of the war, many people's homes, there are no pillars.

Then Yuan Zheng will become the pillar of countless people's homes.

Whether Yuan Zheng wants it or not, he has to shoulder such a responsibility.

Otherwise, he would not be Yuanzheng.

In this world, there are always some joys, sorrows and sorrows that cannot be described in words.

Yuan Zheng has a deep understanding of this period of time in Yongzhou.

In fact, the Qin people are the same as anyone else, they need care, they need stability, and they hate war.

Although many hot-blooded young people are obliged to go to the opposite side of the top of the clouds, this is the choice made, in this world, there are always some things that cannot be started, but they have to face it.
