Chapter 263 Yuzhou has arrived

In the end, the two maids were more clever, and I don't know where the two of them came from with a screen.

Placing the screen in the middle of the carriage, the carriage suddenly became two independent spaces, Xia Jing looked at the men who were isolated in the other carriage and breathed a sigh of relief. I can finally lie down for a while.

Li Chengmu's little servant Changlu is also more clever, and he brought a set of chess pieces from the train captain's lounge, which can just relieve his master's boredom.

The men were fascinated by the strange looks, and they didn't dare to disturb Xia Jing's rest, and the chess game that Changlu took just solved their dilemma.

There were several small stations along the railway, which were supposed to stop, but because the queen and the prince were on the train, the conductor did not dare to take the risk, and directly ordered the train to go directly to Yuzhou.

Xia Jing slept on the train, and had dinner with her sons, everyone rested for a while, and the train arrived at Yuzhou Station at about ten o'clock in the evening.

For this trip, Ye Fei had already arranged it, and as soon as the train arrived at the station, he took the officials to the original courtyard of King Qian's Mansion in Yuzhou.

Of course, if the officials themselves have another courtyard in Yuzhou, they can go back to their own courtyard to rest.

But the reality is that everyone tacitly follows Xia Jing, and no one wants to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have such an opportunity to accompany the queen and the prince.

Early the next morning, Xia Jing's biological clock woke up on time, came back from exercising outside, and unexpectedly found that several sons had come.

"You didn't sleep a little more today?"

"Queen Mother, I experienced taking the train yesterday, I was excited all night last night, and I woke up early in the morning, it seems that I have to get used to it for a while before my emotions can calm down." Li Chengyi said.

Xia Jing nodded: "Then you can sit down for a while, and then accompany me to breakfast." ”

With that, he walked past them and went straight into the inner chamber.

Three pairs of eyes watched Xia Jing enter the inner room, Li Chengyi turned around and asked, "The queen mother insists on exercising every day, have you practiced this morning?" ”

Li Chengmu leaned back, "Don't look at me, since I led the army, morning exercise has been an indispensable item for me every day." ”

Li Chengli turned to Li Chengyi, "Fourth brother, since you asked, then brother asked you, did you practice this morning?" ”

"Hehe, practice, practice, although I am as stubborn as my father when he was young, I can still persevere!"

Li Chengyi's fluttering eyes are in everyone's eyes.

Li Chengli is also a wilted species, listened to his words, looked him up and down slightly, and nodded thoughtfully: "Now it seems that the fourth brother's exercise is still effective, and after the morning exercise, I can't feel that you have practiced, it seems that the intensity of the exercise is not enough." Wait for the queen mother to come out, talk to her for her brother, and let her increase the amount for you, otherwise you won't be able to get the effect of morning exercise! ”

As soon as Li Chengyi heard what he said, his head grew up, "Third brother, my good third brother, tell me about my younger brother, what is the effect of proper exercise?" ”

Li Chengli pointed at himself and Li Chengmu, and said: "If the intensity of morning exercise is appropriate, it is the same mental state as me and Xiao Wu, full of energy and vitality, and I will not be like you, the fourth brother, who is sluggish, black and green at the moment, and weak to walk!" ”

The way he looks is obviously excessive.

I don't know how many girls the fourth child has harmed when he came to the capital?

When Li Chengyi heard this, he glared at him angrily and pointed at himself, "Is my image so bad?" How can you say that it is also a suave and suave image, the image of the prince of Yushu in the wind, how can it come out of your mouth, third brother, what you say is no different from the street slicker on the street? ”

"Who's a street slicker?" Xia Jing washed up, changed her clothes and walked out.

The brothers stood up with a smile and saluted Xia Jing.

When Xia Jing sat down, the brothers sat down one after another.

Li Chengli smiled: "Who else can it be, we are talking about the fourth." ”

Xia Jing sighed, and did not discuss the words between their brothers again, but beckoned the brothers to go to the dining room together.

"Queen Mother, what are your arrangements for today?"

Xia Jing looked back at Li Chengli and smiled: "Take a day off today, and then set off back to the capital tomorrow, if you each have anything to do, you can take advantage of today." ”

Walking to the dining room, Li Chengli gently helped Xia Jing to sit on the main seat, and only after she sat down did he return to his seat.

"That's fine, today I'm thinking about going to the street to pick up a few shops, and I can do this today if I have nothing to do."

When Li Chengyi heard this, his heart itched, "Third brother, you can buy a house in Yuzhou Fucheng, why didn't you remind me earlier, so I don't have much silver on me now!" ”

"Fourth brother, do you need to borrow a little from your brother?" Li Chengmu frowned slightly and looked at him.

Li Chengyi glanced at Xia Jing without a trace, and shook his head: "Forget it, it's rare to come to Yuzhou, Xiao Wu, you can also buy some industries." ”

"Then don't say afterwards that I didn't borrow you, I borrowed you, you didn't ask for it!"

"Poof!"

Xia Jing heard Xiao Wu's words, and couldn't help laughing, "Ahem, you don't say anything when you eat, you don't say anything when you sleep, let's eat early and rest early!" ”

"Mother, we just got up for a short time."

"Then go back early after eating!"

After breakfast, Xia Jing sent off her two stepsons, and then took Li Chengmu and the personal guards out of the courtyard.

The city of Yuzhou was the first state capital to be recovered among the state capitals occupied by the rebels.

The streets of Fucheng are crisscrossed, and in addition to the buildings on the main street are not bad, the areas where ordinary people live are also dirty and messy.

The conditions were so bad that after the recovery of Yuzhou, there was no money in the finances, and the newly appointed prefect of Yuzhou only learned from the capital to pave the main streets of Yuzhou City on the cement pavement.

"The recovery of Yuzhou before the autumn harvest only made the people feel a little better, but in fact, their lives are still struggling under the poverty line."

Xia Jing observed the people on the street while walking, and it was not difficult to find from their expressions, words and demeanors that their lives were still unsatisfactory.

It's just that now that there is less war, we still need to make great efforts to restore people's livelihood.

"It is a blessing for the queen mother to have the people in her heart." Li Chengmu's gaze swept over the thinly dressed people, "It's just that post-war reconstruction will take a long process, so you don't have to be too anxious." ”

Xia Jing also knew that the completion of Rome was not a day's work, but she wanted to make the people live a little better, a little better, a little better.

She didn't want a city to stay in place, she wanted them to get wider and wider.

"Next year, sweet potatoes will be popularized in Yuzhou, not to occupy fertile fields, just plant in slightly barren land, but where sweet potatoes are planted on barren land, next year will be exempted from taxes, let everyone slow down."

Li Chengmu agreed very much: "The queen mother has great love! ”

The mother and son didn't have long to walk on the street, and Lin Tingshi of Yuzhou brought Yuzhou officials to greet them.

"The ministers will meet the queen and His Royal Highness the prince."

"Let's get up!"

Get!

The original plan to visit Yuzhou City has come to naught.

Since she couldn't go shopping, Xia Jing walked past Yuzhou Lin Thorn History, "Since Lord Lin is here, let's go to Guancang to have a look." ”

When they passed through Yuzhou and went south, they harmed the official warehouse in Yuzhou, and this time she wanted to see how the official warehouse in Yuzhou was recovering?

When Lord Lin heard this, his heart was shocked, but his face was not obvious, and he smiled: "Weichen will lead Niangniang and His Royal Highness over." ”

Li Chengmu watched him wipe his forehead, and couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart: "Lord Lin, how is the official warehouse recovering now?" How much grain will be harvested this year? ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, the official warehouse is now repaired, but the grain of the official warehouse in previous years has been destroyed by the rebels. Now the grain and grass piled up in the official warehouse are all tax grain collected this year, which is about less than one-third of the warehouse. Lin Shushi replied truthfully.

When Li Chengmu heard this, he stopped, and turned to look at him in disbelief, "How did you harvest such a small amount of food?" ”

Lin Shushi smiled bitterly, "These grains were collected, or Zuo Tingshi turned the tide at the beginning, and only collected a little grain, otherwise, the people just recovered and didn't want to pay any grain." ”

"Now Yuzhou is in the hands of the minister, and the minister does not dare to persecute the people too much.

When he followed Li Chengmu to Yuzhou to pacify the rebels, he resolutely stepped forward and temporarily served as the county guard of Yingchuan because Yuzhou needed a county guard.

Later, after recovering Yuzhou, he was temporarily transferred to Yuzhou City as an assassin.

And such frequent transfers are actually to do one thing for the imperial court, that is, land reform, re-measurement of fields, and cleaning up the hidden households hidden under the powerful power of the family.

Later, Xia Jing led the soldiers and horses into Jizhou, and made a good Jizhou assassin to go to the army in Jizhou, so that he could lead the troops to fight and fight for future generations.

Xiao Qi, the assassin of Jizhou, was transferred to counterinsurgency, and at that time, Xia Jing transferred Zuo Jing, who liked to hang a book bag, to Jizhou, and now he is the assassin of Jizhou, but he is not in charge of the army, but only handles government affairs and manages people's livelihood.

Even if he only needs to govern the place and loses half of his power, for Zuo Jing, climbing all the way from the homeless to the position of the assassin is the peak of his life, and he is very content.

In government affairs, he didn't dare to relax!

Now that the state capital has been reorganized, the history of assassination is no longer a one-person hall in the local area.

The local armaments have been handed over to the local garrisons.

Under the leadership of Lin Tingshi, Xia Jing and his party entered the official warehouse all the way unimpeded.

The official warehouse is tightly guarded, I don't think it's what she looked like when she first came, and I think Zuo Jing has changed a lot of rules.

There are many official warehouses, but less than one-third of the grain is stored, and less than one-third is used in the warehouse.

The guards first opened a warehouse full of grain, Xia Jing looked at the grains full of grain, and it was conceivable that Yuzhou had a bumper harvest this year.

It's just that

"Why is the color of these grains a little dark?"

After listening to Xia Jing's words, Li Chengmu couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Aren't all millet this color?" ”

Xia Jing glanced at Lin Shushi, who was obviously uncomfortable, and grabbed the millet and put it in the palm of her hand, "The reason why I said that the color of this millet is a little dark is because I suspect that these grains are old grains. ”

"Stale grain?" Li Chengmu first wondered if he was mistaken, but then he thought that his mother was not a person without a target, and she would definitely not talk nonsense if she was not sure.

Lin Shushi pulled the corners of his stiff mouth, and said stiffly: "Niangniang, are you mistaken, everyone is short of food at this time, where is the old grain, these are all newly collected tax grains this year." ”

"Really?" Xia Jing threw the grain in her hand into the grain pile, and then walked to another corner, she grabbed another handful of grain, and carefully identified it in the sun.

"This is also stale grain!" Xia Jing was very angry and threw the grain on top of the grain pile, "Lin Shushi, come and explain to us, what's going on?" ”

Lin Shushi wiped his forehead, and his forehead was sweating urgently in the winter.

"Wechen doesn't know about this, when Wechen took over Yuzhou, the granary was like this."

"Oh, this is ready to pass the buck?" Xia Jing just glanced at him lightly, and it was just this faint glance, and nothing else was done.

This made Lin Shushi cold, as if he was going to stop his heartbeat in the next second.

Lin Shushi waved his hand hurriedly, "Weichen didn't want to shirk his responsibility, but he really didn't check the grain, otherwise he would have known that it was Chen Liang, so he would have to inform Shangguan." ”

Lin Shushi glanced at the people standing behind Xia Jing, all of them were well-trained and strong soldiers, did they have to fall here today?

Li Chengmu looked at the warehouse full of aged grains and said, "Lord Lin, don't tell Your Highness, you don't divide the grains and your limbs are not diligent, right?" ”

Lin Shushi heard this warning, his head slammed to the ground, and there was a blank for a moment, "Weichen. The minister rarely deals with household chores, and the affairs of the house are arranged by the wife."

"Okay, don't quibble, don't say it, it's hard for me to find out when I'm angry, this year's new grain, the chaff is golden and very beautiful. The husk of aged grains is dull in color and has no luster. It can be seen from this that the grain in your warehouse is not the grain stored in previous years, but the grain that has been stored for I don't know how many years! ”

Li Chengmu didn't know where Lin Shushi found so much old grain, but obviously, he was teasing the court as a fool, and he luckily thought that he would not be discovered by the court.

It's just that today his good fortune seems to have run out.

When encountering this kind of thing, Xia Jing was unexpected, it is said that Yuzhou is rerecovered, and there has been a big purge in the officialdom, and the officialdom after the big blood change should be more able to clean up the style.

But obviously, Xia Jing's expectations were too high, and this person disappointed her.

People's hearts are often the most difficult to control!

Xia Jing looked at Lin Shushi expressionlessly, "Lord Lin, what's going on with the grain in the warehouse?" You're not going to explain it to us? In front of me, if you make a mistake, I have always been lenient in confession and strict in resisting! Between saying and not talking, you'd better think about it, because it's not just the people standing behind you, it's your family! ”

Lin Shushi trembled with fright when he heard Xia Jing's words, and when he heard his family, he trembled even more.

Li Chengmu and Xia Jing glanced at each other, what does this mean?

Did someone threaten him with his family and ask him to help him do something wrong?

But Xia Jing will not forgive you for your crimes because you committed a crime, because there is a reason why you have to do it.

Therefore, she said to the guards behind her: "Take off his official hat and take it down!" ”
