Gen Yue.

The great painter looked at the unrecognizable garden in front of him without worry.

Half of his life was ruined.

The original strange stones are almost gone, but there are still a lot of strange flowers and plants, after all, this is planted, even if a lot of them are sold, the seeds and rhizomes left behind can grow again, but they look messy because of lack of management.

But it's also more like natural growth.

The trees have increased a lot, but they are all ordinary trees, just like a flock of peacocks replaced by pheasants, and the mountains are still the ones he piled up in the past, but there are obviously a lot fewer buildings in the mountains, especially his tall buildings are all gone. Of course, this has nothing to do with Wang Yue, this is what his son did, after all, the wood used in these high-rise buildings is very valuable, and Zhao Huan, who was poor and crazy during the previous period, did not let go of anything that could be sold for money, and the strange stones were sold to the gentry who repaired the garden, and the wood of the high-rise buildings was also sold after they were dismantled.

All that is left is worthless.

But after that, the eunuchs who were managed secretly sold a lot.

They even sold their fish in their nets!

Because the emperor has become a puppet, the power of the eunuchs is also gone, and they are also very short of money, but the water surface has not decreased, and the garden is still full of lotuses.

It's just that in the winter at this time, the garden is full of dead leaves.

At this time, there were still many idlers playing in this mountain forest, and even the great painter could see a group of naughty children fishing in the water that had just begun to thaw, and they all looked very happy, which reminded him of his own pile of beauties. Pity the six thousand beauties of the year, now I can't see any of them here, they used to fly like butterflies, but now the butterflies here are gone, and some of the fluttering moths are......

Well, stupid women, actually.

There are not many people to play in this season, but some migrant workers who can't find a place to live.

It's really a migrant worker.

Because of the explosive development of industry and commerce in Kaifeng City, resulting in a shortage of labor, and the idlers in the surrounding villages have nothing to do in winter, there are many people who go to the city to do odd jobs, not only in Kaifeng Prefecture, but also in the surrounding states, even if it is only a few days from the farthest Chenzhou, these people are reluctant to spend money to rent a house.

The rent in Kaifeng City is not low.

Therefore, the surrounding open imperial gardens have become their gathering places, just like the tent party in the Ameritan Park.

Genyue has those lakes to drink water, firewood can go to the mountains and forests to pick up dead branches and dry grass, the family finds a few uninhabited abandoned houses to live, go out to work during the day, come back at night to stay, and wait until the beginning of the spring farming season to leave, like a flock of migratory birds. At present, such a situation is found in various industrial and commercial center cities, and there are migrant workers living in the Daimyo Mansion and even in the Imperial City, which is also the inevitable development of economic development, and in the final analysis, the development of industry and commerce has made the city's infrastructure unable to keep up.

Not only these imperial gardens, but even the city walls are now surrounded by a large number of shanty towns, all of which were built by nearby residents for those migrant workers.

Such rents are low.

In short, the current Genyue makes the great painter feel like crying without tears.

And in the middle of this obvious and elegant picture, the huge shed is even more ugly, as if it was not enough to smear his beautiful picture beyond recognition, and to step on it a mud-stained footprint, which is simply unsightly......

"Who designed this, it's also a yamen, it's so sloppy!"

The great painter sighed.

"Me!"

Wang Yue said frankly.

"Well, it's kind of old-fashioned."

The great painter said.

"Actually, it's just to save money!"

Wang Yue said very frankly.

However, the great painters will not be judged immediately, because they have to wait for the representatives of the four peoples to get together, and these representatives do not always stay in Kaifeng, they will also organize themselves to go around, especially those from Shaanxi and Shanxi, who like to visit all parts of Hebei. There are even some who go to the newly recaptured state capitals and go there to help the officials restore order, especially the by-election of deputies, so these people have to regroup, in short, they have to wait for three or five days.

During this period, the great painter was detained in a special detention center in the Great Hall of the Four Peoples.

Yue Fei and others continued to take care of it.

But allowing others to come to see him, especially his wives and daughters, and in fact he has several young children in the north, and indeed some of them have escaped, but there are many left, and whether these people are willing to come to see him is another matter.

It depends on Zhao Huan.

After stuffing the great painter into the detention center, Wang Yue's task was completed, and then he entered the palace to give a business, Zhao Huan didn't ask about his father's situation, in fact, his favorite should be his father died of illness on the road, but Wang Yue didn't let his father die of illness on the road, so he didn't dare to complain about anything. In short, he didn't know anything about this sensational matter in Kaifeng, and he wasn't even interested in asking about the situation in the south, anyway, if he asked, he didn't need to intervene if he wanted to deal with it.

Wang Yue's contact with him was originally courteous.

After leaving the palace, Wang Yue went directly to the Privy Council......

"This is Xin Xingzong's recital."

Liu Xi took a pile of official documents and handed him one of them.

"Li Qianshun is very dishonest!"

Wang Yue said.

Li Qianshun did not act abnormally in the direction of northern Shaanxi, he still maintained his defense, but the main force of the Western Xia army began to inspect the Hexi Corridor under the banner of preventing the invasion of the Mugyus, and he did not know how the Mengwu army of Xuanda entered the Hexi Corridor. Their purpose is obviously to clean up the conquered tribes in the Hexi Corridor that they had been with the Great Song Mei before, solve these guys in advance, and then wait for the results of the Song and Jin battles, and once the Great Song Dynasty fails, they will immediately attack Shaanxi in order to wash away the shame.

But......

This is about Wang Yue's.

"Melon, are there any Han people left in Sha Erzhou?"

He asked.

"Yes, there are a lot, the Western Xia can't really control the melon, Sha, and Su three states, and the Shaosheng period was also broken by the Black Khan King of Khotan, that area, especially Shazhou, is dominated by the Han people, and the Western Xia captured our officers and soldiers on the battlefield before, most of them are also moved to Suzhou, on the contrary, the Uighurs are killed more, so these three states are still our Han people."

Liu Xi said.

"Are you sure?"

Wang Yue said.

He was skeptical of the Great Song's intelligence capabilities in the Western Regions.

As for the Black Khan King of Khotan, he knows that this name is obviously the Qarakhanid, the Qarakhanid annexed the Khotanese State of Li Shengtian in the early Song Dynasty, and the name is really exaggerated, the standard Yelang arrogance, a small king in a desert oasis actually dared to call Shengtian, and then annexed the Qarakhanid of Khotan to trade with the Great Song Dynasty in the name of Khotan, and this trade route took the southern side of the Taklamakan Desert.

"Sure, after opening up the river over the years, although our merchants will not go to Shazhou, there are still a lot of merchants from Shazhou who come to our side, most of them can understand Chinese characters, no matter what they look like, they call themselves Uighurs or something else, they use Chinese characters instead of Tangut characters, which means that Tangut control over there is limited, and the Tangut people promote their Tangut language."

Liu Xi said.

There is still a lot of truth to this.

Wang Yue really didn't know too much about that side, the key is that there is very little history about Western Xia in later generations, because for a special reason, the Mongols hated them so much that they didn't even write a special history, that is, they added a Western Xia biography to the history of the Song Dynasty, and the history recorded was pitiful.

Even the Western Xia is pitiful, let alone the three states of Guashasu.

The only thing that can be determined is the summer time of the melon king, but it is impossible to determine whether this melon king is the Cao family, including what ethnic group the Cao family is, and the Sogdians, Uighurs, and Han people all have theories, but the most likely is the Han people. Because in the historical materials found in Dunhuang later, until the late Northern Song Dynasty, the main characters in that area were still Chinese, and the Xixia script did not appear in the grottoes of Dunhuang for the first time until the Yuanfeng period of Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, and then until the eve of the destruction of the Western Xia, the caves in Dunhuang were still engraved with the Xixia year name of Chinese characters.

And the Western Xia had its own script.

They also enforce their own writing.

That is to say, until they perished, they were not able to really make the Tangut script become the script used by the upper class in Shazhou.

People are still used to using Chinese characters.

Even the forced writing was not accepted, and the rule of the Western Xia over this area can be imagined, at least the people in this area who used Chinese characters as their daily script always existed until the fall of the Western Xia, and at this time, not to mention, only thirty years had passed during the Yuanfeng period. Thirty years ago, Tangut characters began to appear in that land, and since then, Tangut characters and Chinese characters have always appeared alternately, so now the Chinese characters are used there, whether Han Chinese or not, at least they are still very strong.

"In that case, we'll have to send an army to support them!"

Wang Yue said with a deep face.

Sending an army over, as long as things are done, Li Qianshun can be much more honest, especially this can also encourage other ethnic groups to rise up and do things, since Li Qianshun is like a wild dog watching, hiding from the sidelines and salivating over here, then use fire to set his tail on fire.

"How to get there?"

Liu Xi said in astonishment.

"How did those Shazhou businessmen come here?"

Wang Yue said.

"They traveled west from Qinghai, all the way through snow-capped mountains and deserts, and it is said that almost thousands of miles along the way were uninhabited, so how can they compare with the army."

Liu Xi said.

"Since they can go, then the army should be able to go, it's nothing more than preparing more horses and camels to carry supplies, three thousand cavalry with six thousand horses and three thousand camels is enough, find a Shazhou merchant as a guide, but this master is a little difficult to choose, this is comparable to Ban Dingyuan! But it's not a big deal, it's only a thousand miles from Xining to Dunhuang, how can there be thousands of miles, the cavalry runs faster for ten days, even if the altitude of the plateau is not to the extent of altitude sickness, as long as it is still very pleasant to walk this road in summer. ”

Wang Yue muttered to himself.

Liu Xi looked at him a little blankly......
