Han Yeqin saw Emperor Qian's name come to him, and immediately knelt down.

"The minister is guilty." The empress knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

At this moment, he had given up.

Although he was hard-mouthed, he also understood that if he brought this plow to Xingzhou, it would definitely solve the problem of tens of thousands of people, and it would not cause any harm to the spring cultivation at all.

King An's three major sins, the first two have been cleared, and the last one is disrespectful to Zhizhou, so there is no need to mention it again.

Anyway, there is no evidence, not to mention the first two charges, this crime alone can be determined, for a prince, it is nothing at all.

"The governor of Guangyang Prefecture and other ministers joined forces to falsely accuse the prince, and the Xingzhou County Order was derelict in his duties, and the two were dismissed from their posts and could not be used again forever.

Guangyang Prefecture 7th grade and below, salary reduction for one year;

Han Yeqin, you, the secretary of the Criminal Department, actually made up nonsense, deducted your salary for one year, and demoted you for two years. ”

He waved his hand and gestured.

"Everyone! Don't act rashly just because of a bloody letterhead. ”

Emperor Qian looked at him, and then at the civil and military officials around him.

Everyone bowed their heads in agreement.

Although they were not punished, Emperor Qian's gaze still made their hearts tremble.

"Wu Aiqing, you are the one who popularized this knife in China, and you must use up all this knife in the spring.

If there is anything to be done with silver, let our households help. ”

Emperor Qian said to Wu Zuoren and Zheng Kun: "Your Majesty, please give it to Your Majesty." ”

The prince was silent on the side, but he became more and more afraid of Li Sulai in his heart.

Anwangfu, Lingnan.

Among the Jingshi, Li Su certainly didn't know about this matter.

He was sitting at the conference table, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"There are suddenly so many more people in Lingnan Prefecture, which solves the problem of manpower shortage, and the third prince is really good."

Cao Youde complimented.

"However, I'm worried that it won't be long before those displaced people will flock here, and by then, the city won't be able to accommodate so many people."

Cao Youde added.

"Well, plus there are too many children coming to school during this time, and even adults are coming to class, so it's a bit crowded."

Wei Yangxian said, he is the teacher in charge of Lingnan Mansion.

"These days, there are more merchants from our Lingnan to Beijing, and if you want to enter the city, you often have to wait for a long time, although this gate has been renovated, it is also a little crowded."

"There are also many merchants who have entered the city and occupied all the restaurants, and there is no place to stay, so they can only mix with Xiao Er."

Liu Lin, who was in charge of trade, said, "I see.

Li Su sat on the main seat, listening carefully to the instructions of his subordinates.

There were not many people in this Lingnan Prefecture capital city at the beginning, and there were about 500,000 people in the suburbs, but after all, it was still built on the scale of the capital city, and the area was not small.

But now, there are too many businessmen and civilians entering here.

In need.

Li Su's lips moved, he thought about it, and got up and came to a topographical map of Lingnan Prefecture.

"In that case, it might as well expand the capital city a bit."

Li Su stretched out his hand and drew a line on it, and then another line.

"Centered on the existing fortifications, to the north, to the south, to the west, and to the west two miles.

Almost. ”

Li Su continued to speak.

"Also, the territory of Fucheng will also be adjusted, this is the factory, and this is the place of residence.

We're going to carve out an area here and build a new academy that can accommodate 5,000 people. ”

"We will continue to demolish, repair, rebuild, and strive to make the city better..."

Li Su commanded.

Li Su just glanced around, and then lightly pointed out the direction of the development of the city, which made everyone look sideways.

The people present are all of Lingnan Mansion, whose status is not low, and their eyes are still very vicious.

King An said it lightly, but in fact, after careful consideration, each place was arranged extremely well and reasonably.

It takes into account the convenience of each area, as well as the distance between the regions, as well as the various changes in the future.

Although everyone has long been accustomed to King An's skills, they still feel that their skills are very good.

This made him wonder if anyone was born with this.

"It will take at least half a month to complete, and now we are afraid that we will not have enough manpower."

Cao Youde said bluntly.

"By the way, aren't there 5,000 border soldiers here? In addition, the guards of the palace city and An Wangwei also sent people to let them do it here. ”

Li Su made the final decision.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Cao Youde bowed respectfully.

No one thought that it was wrong for King An to use his army to build the city walls, on the contrary, this was the way it should be.

At the junction of Lingnan and the surrounding countries, there is an army composed of the Great Qianguo Division, which is stationed by the empire and is subordinate to the military and political institutions of the empire.

However, for three years, Li Su has been using silver to maintain this army, and has never received a penny of silver.

Three years ago, if it was an earthquake, the government's silver could not be transported here, and that was reasonable.

But now, the highway is open again, and the court seems to have forgotten about these border soldiers, and no one has come to trouble until now, and Li Su is not willing to suffer the dumb loss, so he must give them a little color.

In his opinion, it was probably the stingy His Majesty the King who deliberately threw these burdens on himself when he realized that he had a lot of money.

Isn't he worried that he will rebel? Li Su thought to himself.

The surrounding countries have long been trading with Lingnan and are like a family, so there is no conflict.

The appearance of these armies gave the people of Lingnan Prefecture an illusion that they had been wasted.

King An gave an order, and in the border army, the commander Hou Zhengchang happily said yes.

Over the years, they have all been from Lingnan Mansion, and they have been favored and favored, no matter how shameless Hou Zhengchang is, he can't refuse because of a little favor.

In the past three years, due to the development of commerce, the frontier has stabilized, and the army on the frontier is idle, so Hou Zhengchang used them to farm.

This time, there were only 5,000 border soldiers, but they forcibly reclaimed 600,000 miles of land.

The grain and grass sold to Lingnan Prefecture and the surrounding countries every year is a great fortune.

Thinking of three years ago, the military rations of the government were sometimes deducted for more than half a year, and the soldiers were all destitute, Hou Zhengchang's heart was full of emotion.

"This is all the credit of King An!"

After the order for the expansion of the prefecture was issued, the officials in various parts of Lingnan immediately began their work.

Merchants also seized the opportunity to bring batches of timber, stone and other materials into the city.

Li Su planned to replace all the walls of the city with concrete in this expansion, and outside the city, there was a lime kiln and lime kiln, which worked day and night.

Many people heard that King An was going to expand the capital city, and they were busy doing farm work and contributing to their own farm work.

The most important thing is that King An has always been generous, not only every month, but also three meals a day.

The infrastructure construction in Lingnan has entered a white-hot stage, and more and more people have entered the white-hot stage.

There are also some civilians from the four states who also made a special trip to participate in the construction of the city.

The people of the four states are worse than the people in the prefectures.

Their food has been good over the years, but that's about it.

Li Su has only been in Lingnan for three years, where does he have time to take care of so many people.

They looked at the meat in their cauldrons, and they were all dumbfounded, and they were a little jealous of the civilians in the city.

"It would be nice if I could have come to Fucheng earlier."

With the joint efforts of tens of thousands of people and semi-modern construction methods, it took just over two months for the brand-new wall to be built.

Although it is only beginning to take shape, its grandeur is already visible.

The new gate was larger enough for four carriages to travel side by side.

The whitewashed walls were smooth and smooth, with a height of nearly twenty meters, and were easy to defend.

The main buildings in the city have also been built, even schools, hospitals, and inns have been built.

At this moment, an old man dressed in sackcloth, riding a donkey, slowly walked past the city gate.

His hair is gray, tied up with a wooden hairpin, his eyes are bright, and the whole person gives people a sense of detachment.

If anyone knew him at this time, they would have been surprised how he could have come to such a remote place.

This person is the national teacher who has been in Daqian for five years and has never returned to the imperial court once, Jia Siyan, that is, one of the two ministers.

Jia Siyan was the teacher of Emperor Qian, he helped Emperor Qiandi ascend to the throne, made great contributions to him, calmed domestic disputes, governed the government and the opposition, and won his respect.

It can be said that this Jia Siyan is the main reason why the Great Qianxian Dynasty has come to this point.

At the beginning, it was he who proposed to Emperor Qiandi to gradually abolish the prime minister system and regain power.

And this time, it was also to suppress the position of prime minister, and he even volunteered to go to Daqian Yunyou, and never enter the DPRK again.

In addition, he has never stepped down from the position of prime minister, so many ministers have treated him as a thorn.

But whether it is him, or other hostile forces, they are very optimistic about him.

It's been five years since the last time he went out of the mountain, and many people have almost forgotten him.

This time, he came to Lingnan just because he heard the news of Li Su during the trip, so he planned to come to Lingnan to confirm the authenticity of the rumors.

A man and a donkey walked slowly into the brand new city.

"Although it has not been built yet, it is not inferior to the capital."

Jia Siyan looked up at the majestic city and thought thoughtfully.

And at this city gate, there were constantly merchants coming and going, which aroused his interest even more.

"Really? Free entry to town? It's funny. ”

Jia Siyan took the two copper plates, and a smile appeared on his face.

Entering the city, there were patches of sand and gravel everywhere, and countless civilians were busy.

There are also people who use unknown things, stirring up the same dirt as the walls.

"It would take at least a year to build such a wide wall.

I don't know that King An took out a few laborers and made the people in the family postpone the time of spring. ”

Jia Siyan sighed.

Just as he was about to move on, he heard the screams of the East.

Jia Siyan hurriedly greeted him.

A crowd of civilians gathered. Jia Siyan slipped into the crowd and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a servant whip slamming a civilian who looked like a civilian.

The whipped man kept screaming.

"Stop, stop, I admit defeat, I won't in the future."

The big man pleaded again and again.

"Stop! Why do you servants brutalize civilians!

You let them work as coolies, not only affecting their reclamation, but also making them bullied by you!

Jia Siyan saw that the man who was beaten looked serious, and saw the servant who looked fierce and vicious, so he couldn't help but scold.

"I didn't expect his subordinates to be bullied to such an extent.

Jia Siyan muttered to himself.

"Who the hell are you? Are you talking about conscripting labor and postponing the start of spring? Are you crazy? “

This official is Qi Yong, the garrison marshal who was ordered to come to supervise.

And the army under his command was brought to the city by Cao Youde and began to repair the city.

There are no manpower under him, and he is idle when he is idle, so he simply asked Li Su for a messenger in charge, so he wore the clothes of a steward and came out to relax, scatter his heart.

Qi Yong was not a cultured person in the first place, but when he saw this old man who suddenly appeared, he dared to make a big statement, and he was immediately angry.

"Very good, for so many years, no one has dared to insult me like this, you little doll, in this Great Qianhuang Dynasty, you can be regarded as the number one person."

Seeing that the fierce and vicious official could still speak disrespectfully, Jia Siyan laughed angrily.

"Hey, you old man, you still say that you want to recruit laborers and delay reclamation, it's just nonsense, aren't you snorting some ecstasy soup?"

Qi Yong shook the whip in his hand and said casually.

In Jia Siyan's view, this is a bully gangster.

"Didn't you take them to work as coolies? How can such a large city be built so quickly in less than a year, doesn't this affect the people's feelings? ”

Jia Siyan screamed angrily.

"Elder, we are not coolies, we are here on the orders of Lord An.

"Yes, yes, we came here just after the reclamation, and it used to be built by sergeants, and the city has only been built for more than two months."

In the crowd, there were also some people who said.

"Don't try to fool me, I can't find a second person in the whole Daqian."

In just over a month, such a huge city was built. ”

Jia Siyan glanced around and said lightly.

"Look at the concrete there, and then look at the west, there is green smoke coming out there, and that's His Majesty King An's new technology, and he built a cement yard and a cave there, so he's very slow."

Another said.

"Hey, old man, did you hear me, don't talk nonsense without getting it clear, it will make people think you're rude."

Qi Yong smiled, and the contempt and banter in his eyes made Jia Siyan very unhappy.

"This son of a bitch, it's so hateful." Jia Siyan was extremely depressed.

"Then why are you pumping him? If he can't tell the reason today, the old man will go to the king of An and ask how he managed the land of Lingnan. ”

Jia Siyan stretched out his hand and grabbed the man who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and said to Qi Yong.

"Okay, come on, I'll show you this."

Qi Yong said, stretching out his hand and pointing to a corner of the room.

Jia Siyan followed the place pointed by Qi Yong and came to a clearing, only to see a large piece thrown there, as if it had been gnawed.

"What do you mean, throwing pieces of meat on the ground is not a waste?"

Jia Siyan asked suspiciously.

"You should ask that son of a bitch, where did he get the courage to waste food."

Qi Yong kicked on the man's body.

"I promise, I promise."

Caught as a coolie and beaten up?

Dahan hurriedly said.

"Are you wasting food? There is only fish and meat, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death? ”

After speaking, Qi Yong kicked over again.

"But isn't it, King An is really good to us, not only do we have a salary every month, but we also have to take care of three meals a day, and we are willing to be so extravagant."

Some civilians followed.

"What? He was beaten for eating? ”

Jia Siyan said hesitantly.

"Of course! Our prince is worried that the people will be cold, so there is no limit to three meals a day, as long as they can be filled.

However, he ate so much meat that he ate only a lean one, and threw the rest on the ground.

After all these years, have you forgotten your life and that's why you did it! ”

Qi Yong shouted.

"I see! I've traveled from north to south, and I've never seen a place where I've provided three meals a day for the common people, and I've built a wall for them.

Even the dishes have been eaten, this kid is too ignorant of lifting.

Alas, I really saw the wrong person, the wrong person. ”

Although Jia Siyan is a prime minister, he is not arrogant at all, he clasped his hands into fists and spoke.

Qi Yong: Obviously admitting his mistake to me, why does it sound like a reprimand?

"I really didn't expect that Lingnan is so rich, hiring people to build a city with silver, and even civilians can have meat.

Jia Siyan thought thoughtfully.

I can't help but feel a little impatient.

Jia Siyan went all the way into the city.

What catches your eye is a busy building.

In some areas, you can even see a huge building.

Jia Siyan looked at this square building that had not yet been built, and there was no beauty in his heart, but there was an indescribable shock.

After walking about three kilometers, a huge city wall was already in sight.

"Strange, how can there be a city?"

Jia Siyan muttered to himself.

He hurried to the city gate, but found that it was empty.

A team of strong men were digging bricks in the walls.

"Why are you waiting here?"

Jia Siyan grabbed a big man who passed by him and said to him.

"Break the wall!"

Dahan looked dazed, and was grabbed by someone.

"Why are you tearing down this sturdy wall?"

Jia Siyan was confused.
