Chapter 431: The Pearl of the Prairie

It was getting late, and a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth stood generously in the hall of the Lieyang Guan City Lord's Mansion.

Her hair was not pulled up to reveal a snow-white swan neck like a Daxia woman, but her hair was wrapped in a headdress with a very steppe characteristic, and a dozen thin braids hung down, dancing in the wind with her movements.

The Beiliang costume on his body is not a rare style, but a leopard skin ornament on his waist is just right to embellish a rare wild beauty.

If that's all it takes, it's a little exotic at most, but that face is so beautiful.

Goose egg face, cut pupils, Qiong nose and jade standing, soft lips;

The slender waist is slender but not weak, and the legs are slender and energetic.

Just standing there, she had an indescribable vigorous power, as bright as the morning sun on the prairie.

Jin Jiancheng and Xia Yunfei looked at the woman in front of them blankly, it was getting late, this was clearly the rising sun, at least it was a pearl shining, and the house was full of brilliance.

Yelutech looked at the two men in front of him and said calmly, "Have you seen enough?" ”

"Ahem!"

Jin Jiancheng coughed dryly, straightened up, and pretended to caress the corners of his mouth with his hand unintentionally to see if there was any unintentional saliva.

With his identity, he is not so unbearable.

If it is of course stable on weekdays, he will never have any gaffe when he sees the national beauty and fragrance of Concubine De, but this is in the army, and when he opens his eyes, he is a rough man's army.

Xia Yunfei's performance was much better, and he hugged his fists and saluted, "The girl is saying, you are the granddaughter of King Dingxi of Daliang?" ”

Yelu Zeqi nodded, and looked at Xia Yunfei in civilian clothes curiously, "You are the Hou Ye surnamed Xia of the Southern Dynasty?" ”

According to the etiquette of Great Xia, her actions and words were somewhat rude, but when she showed it, it was just a natural simplicity, and it did not make people feel offended.

Xia Yunfei nodded, "I am indeed the Hou Ye surnamed Xia, but the person you want to see should be another." ”

Jerichic looked at him, "Then who do you think is more powerful, you or him?" ”

Xia Yunfei pursed his lips, "That depends on what you're talking about." ”

Yelutechi's face suddenly turned red, and the servant girl who accompanied her said angrily: "You are so rude! How can you be so rude! ”

Xia Yunfei frowned, and was about to speak, but Jin Jiancheng, who had eaten and seen it, hurriedly pulled the sleeve of this old virgin, and changed the topic while explaining with a smile, "The girl misunderstood, the Marquis of Jianning and the Marquis of Xing'an are cousins, one is one and the other, so naturally they have their own strengths." But the girl is here, is it on behalf of the king of Dingxi to give advice, or is it for something else? ”

Yelu Ceqi nodded calmly, "Yes, the little girl is on the order of her grandfather to find the Marquis of Jianning in your country, and she has something to discuss." ”

However, although her performance was flawless, the panic in the eyes of several maids behind her did not escape Jin Jiancheng's eyes, he smiled and was about to speak, but this time, he was interrupted by Xia Yunfei, Xia Yunfei looked at Yelu Caiqi, "Yelu girl, you have worked hard along the way, it is getting late at this time, and the Marquis of Jianning is not here, it is better to rest in the city first, and we will make arrangements tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Yelutech nodded, and suddenly turned to look at them with his chest clutched, his eyes rolling, "You won't do anything to me as a weak woman, will you?" ”

This is very different from the style of the Great Xia woman, which is an eye-opener for Jin Jiancheng and Xia Yunfei.

Jin Jiancheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Miss Yelu doesn't know how many people are following you to protect you secretly, right?" ”

Jeruzech's eyes were sly, "Then thank you two adults!" Tomorrow morning, waiting for your news! ”

Jin Jiancheng was not at ease, so he personally sent them to a separate courtyard, and asked the guards to guard them closely to ensure their safety before returning to the house.

"Dingyuan, what did you stop me from doing before? Got an idea? ”

Xia Yunfei didn't pay attention to his ridicule, but looked at him and said, "What were you originally going to do?" ”

"What else? Of course, it's a quick return to the girder! ”

Listening to Jin Jiancheng's words, Xia Yunfei smiled, "If it was before, it would have been natural, but now Yelushi has successfully abolished the establishment and become a powerful minister of Northern Liang." ”

Jin Jiancheng thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows, "You want to say that the Yelu Zeqi sent to the door is used as a handle to control Yelu Shi?" ”

Jin Jiancheng knew that Xia Jingyun had conspired with Yelushi, although he didn't know the specific content, but when he heard Xia Yunfei's words at this moment, he could guess some intentions.

Xia Yunfei snorted, "I just think this may be an opportunity, but how to use it, I still have to let Erlang decide, it just so happens that this Miss Yelu doesn't want to see him, let's send someone to send her to Swift State, and when the time comes, it's good to let Erlang decide." ”

"That's just as well." Jin Jiancheng nodded, and then with a hint of evil smile, he squeezed his eyebrows, "You didn't want to stay?" ”

Xia Yunfei turned his head to look at him, "I still have self-knowledge." ”

Jin Jiancheng patted him on the shoulder, "Twenty-three-year-old Hou Ye, who fought by himself!" What woman can't take! ”

Xia Yunfei said slowly: "Erlang is only twenty-one years old. ”

Jin Jiancheng glanced at him resentfully, quite hating iron but not steel.

It's okay, what do you compare to that demon!

If you want to be so humble, I'm afraid it's not the Marquis of Jianning who takes Yelu Caiqi as a handle, but Yelu Caiqi who takes the handle of Jianning Hou! ——

In the middle of the scorching sun, the two men were discussing the future of Yeluzeqi.

In the capital, in the Dingxi Palace, where the power is now the highest, her father Yelud is already a little panicked.

"Father, I just received a reply, and the girl Caiqi went directly to Lieyang Pass!"

Yelushi calmly flipped through the official documents of the court without raising his head, "Is there a problem with safety on the road?" ”

"That's not true, when she escaped from the capital with her maid, our people secretly followed and protected them."

"Then let her go, it doesn't have to be a bad thing."

"Huh?"

Yelushi didn't explain, but said lightly: "Think about it yourself." Even if it is your loved one, you have to be absolutely calm at all times so that you can not be manipulated by emotions and feelings. ”

Jerod knew that this was also his father's test for himself, and immediately forced himself to calm down.

's father said to let her go, it's not that he doesn't care about Yeluzecchi, on the contrary, because of the relationship between generations, he regards Yeluzeqi as a pearl in his palm.

Since this is the case, the reason is that he doesn't think there will be any problems with Yelu Ceqi going to Lieyang Pass.

Why is that?

In the Lieyang Pass, there is Jiang Yuhu, the killing god of the Southern Dynasty, oh no, according to intelligence, this person is now in Yuyan Prefecture.

There are also defenders of the Southern Dynasty, but as long as their baby daughter shows her identity, her safety should be guaranteed, and there is a high probability that she will be returned directly.

That's not a bad thing.

Wait, no!

If that were the case, the father would have said, "That's fine, wait a minute," instead of saying let her go.

If it's with her, where can she go?

If the defenders of the Southern Dynasty did not send her back, where would they send her?

The Zhongjing City of the Southern Dynasties?

Give it to the Queen Mother of the Southern Dynasty, or to that Xia Jingyun?

Xia Jingyun!

When this name came to mind, his instinct as a cabbage guardian made him wake up instantly!

Yes! Xia Jingyun!

He immediately reacted to a problem that he had been ignoring just now, the reason why his baby daughter ran away from home was precisely because the dissatisfied family used her marriage as a pawn.

It was just a prince of Zhennan who was forcibly promised by His Majesty that he didn't love at all, and finally dissolved the marriage contract, but was sent to the palace by the family on his own initiative, based on this, she would try her best to sneak away from home.

And what would she do in such a situation?

This seems like a good guess.

And that ending is what my father said, not necessarily a bad thing.

Thinking of this, he secretly figured out the logic again, and after making sure that there was no problem, he whispered: "Father, the Marquis of Jianning in the Southern Dynasty already has two wives and two concubines. ”

Yelushi glanced at his son with relief, put down the paperwork in his hand, and said slowly: "That's something he should consider, isn't it?" ”

Yerod's first reaction was that his father was saying that this was Xia Jingyun's consideration of how to marry his daughter, and the next moment he understood what his father really meant.

It is precisely because the Marquis of Jianning already has these wives and concubines that there should be nothing to happen to his baby daughter, this is just an encounter, and Yelu Ceqi will still be returned safely and intact.

And even if he is really confused by beauty and wants to happen, with his wisdom, he will inevitably arrange it properly, and he will not fall into the status of his Yelu family, which is also a place where you can rest assured when you interact with smart people who are in the right place.

Needless to say, Xia Jingyun's talent is not to be said, how is it that his father has also seen it in person, and if he wants to marry her, he will not be married.

If what my father said was really possible, this marriage would be a bond of mutual trust between the North and the South.

After thinking about this, he also put his mind at ease, as long as Yelu Caiqi can arrive at Lieyang Pass safely under the escort of the Yelu family, this is really not a problem.

The only possibility is some rumors in the court, but today's Yelu family, do they still need to care about those? ——

At the same time, Swift State, who didn't know that he had been airdropped a cauldron or a blessed Xia Jingyun, was sitting in the room of the state city, calmly flipping through the information.

Thanks to the joint efforts of Zhao Lao Zhuang and Rouge, the intelligence network of the Black Ice Station was restored quickly.

At the same time, he also seized the opportunity to push back from Longshou Prefecture to Yuyan Prefecture, and rebuilt the intelligence network in Yuyan Prefecture through the rare opportunity of a large number of population movements and resettlement, so Xia Jingyun's actions in Yuyan Prefecture this time will not be dark.

It is precisely because of this that his eyes are not darkened, that he saw these people who interpret [people die for money, birds die for food] with practical actions from the information.

Obviously, the entire Swift Prefecture has been firmly controlled by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and no one can afford to turn over any storms;

Obviously, there are so many recalcitrant families who have been directly erased from this world;

Obviously, what he wants to do at the moment will not cause a devastating blow to these local clans, but it is just to find out the family background of Swift Prefecture before he can make the next move;

However, some big clans are still unwilling to obey, so they have to try their best to contact and echo in an attempt to stop this matter.

Jiang Yuhu sat aside and said lightly: "If you want me to say, you will kill it directly, and you will be killed." Some people rush to fill their place, and they don't need to think about it so much. ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "This is indeed an idea, it's just that there are generals in Yuyan Prefecture, so you can do this, but the rest of the states don't have such a brilliant military power as the generals, and it will be difficult for them to do it then." ”

Chen Fugui on the side glared silently, as if to say: No, this can also be praised?

Jiang Yuhu pursed his mouth, "If you want to ask for hardship, then there is no way, work hard yourself, I'll go out for a walk." ”

After Jiang Yuhu left, Xia Jingyun continued to finish the information in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, what do you think these people will do to stop this matter?" ”

Chen Fugui smiled, "Gongzi asked me, didn't he ask Yu Blind." ”

"There must be my teacher in the threesome, there will always be something I didn't expect, tell me?"

Seeing Xia Jingyun's insistence, Chen Fugui thought about it decently, "The place where these people can work hard is nothing more than the court, Wanxiang and Yan Xiang are not very bad with their sons, and they often secretly stumble, if they get in the way, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns." ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, "On the surface, they really only have this way." ”

Chen Fugui understood as soon as he heard it, and it seemed that he had guessed wrong, "Childe means that they want to find another way?" ”

Xia Jingyun didn't answer directly, but smiled lightly, "What do you think is good and what is evil?" ”

Chen Fugui twisted two thick black eyebrows and said a simple but correct answer, "Doing good deeds is good, and doing bad things is evil." ”

"On a personal level, that's exactly what it is." Xia Jingyun nodded, "But from the level of the imperial court, what is goodness?" It is to let the whole society have a stable order, so that the whole society can operate at a lower cost, this is goodness, or this is called goodness. Simply exercising the functions of the imperial court based on the good and evil of the individual may eventually lead to great evil at the social level. ”

Perhaps knowing that Chen Fugui didn't understand, he continued to explain: "For example, the imperial court pitied those who worked day for a short time and could only earn a meager salary, and ordered that all employees in the imperial court should not be paid less than five wen a day, is this good? ”

Chen Fugui nodded, "Of course." ”

"But if the economy is not developed enough, the result will be that many employers will reduce the number of people they hire, and many people who could have earned a basic livelihood every day will starve to death in the streets because they have no work to do."

Chen Fugui's eyes widened, but his experience from the bottom told him that this was a very likely thing.

"For another example, the imperial court took pity on those who sold themselves into slavery, and saw that they were often beaten, abused, humiliated, and even killed, so it announced the abolition of slaves and maids, and all of them were restored to civilian status, changed to employment relations, signed contracts, and killed them as if they were civilians, is this benevolent government?"

Chen Fugui hesitated for a moment, but after all, he couldn't refute and nodded, "Yes." ”

But for the vast majority of slaves, they do not appreciate it, because in the mansions of the high-ranking families, they have a place to stay, and they only need to do their part. But as soon as the decree of the imperial court came out, many of them would inevitably be driven out of the lord's house, and from then on, they would have to face servitude, taxes, livelihoods, and ups and downs alone. And then what can they do? Outcasts, robbers, mountain bandits. This may save some people, but it will cause unrest on an entire social level. ”

Chen Fugui was shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it, because he also knew that this was indeed a very likely thing, but he still frowned after all, "But, isn't this thing right, shouldn't it be done?" ”

Xia Jingyun looked at him with a smile on his face, "It's not that you don't do it, it's that you can't do it all at once, do it in one go." In my hometown, there is a famous saying that if you take too big a step, it is easy to pull the egg. If the political situation of the imperial court is stable, the tax is lightly paid, and at the same time there is a sufficient amount of land allocation, then it can be slowly planned, every year, every three years, according to a certain proportion and a certain standard, to release a part of the people, so that naturally there will be no problems. This is the reason why I only checked the acres and people this time, and did not take any other actions. ”

Chen Fugui finally understood, "What Gongzi means is that these wealthy families may make a fuss about this, make things worse, make the people complain, and finally let Gongzi bear the people's grievances?" ”

"Exactly!" Xia Jingyun glanced at him with satisfaction, "Above the court, even if there are people who support it, they can't please it, but if the local government first stirs up the people's grievances, and finally cooperates with the outside of the court, can my so-called new policy still be implemented?" The people's grievances are boiling, even my sister can't protect me, right? ”

Chen Fugui first subconsciously felt a little flustered when he heard this, and then looked at Xia Jingyun's calm and calm expression, and smiled, "Since Childe has already guessed their path, even if they think about their tricks, they can't escape Childe's palm." ”

Xia Jingyun squinted slightly, looked out the window, and had a murderous face, "Take a look, I hope they don't go too far, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back my murderous intentions." ”

——

At the same time, outside the state city of Yuyan Prefecture, an ordinary Zhuangzi quietly drove a lot of carriages tonight.

These carriages are ordinary in appearance and have no status symbols, like ordinary cars rented from a carriage dealership.

There were almost no lamps in the Zhuangzi, and one by one the figures got out of the carriage and silently came to a secret room by the dim light of the lantern.

In the secret room, a dim candle flame can illuminate the dark faces of everyone in the room.

When the last person walked in, the door was gently closed, and an old man on the main seat slowly spoke, "Now that the Marquis of Jianning wants to implement a new policy in Yuyan Prefecture, what do you think?" (End of chapter)
