Chapter 8: The New World
The battle in the harem subsided for a short time, and if she could think about the harem for a day, it must be that there is too little work, and she can't think of anything to compete for favor if Li Shaoyun works overtime every day.
Zhuang Xun's move to shake off the shopkeeper made Li Shaoyun feel for the first time that power is also a tormenting and tiring thing.
As the snow melts in spring, the officials trained by the Xia State are in place one after another, and the conquest of the recalcitrant family has become Zhuang Xun's current task.
The completion was extremely smooth, without the people of the Li family, a single family has the talent of a general, and in the face of Zhuang Xun, the morale here is high, and the well-equipped soldiers are just crushed mantises.
At the same time, he presided over the implementation of the new law, gradually expanding the territory, and the whole Jizhou finally had the new law as a guarantee, beating the family, dividing the land, encouraging farming, reducing the tax burden, and stealing the family's grain.
The progress is too fast, not to say the process of digesting the country, but with the Empress Dowager Jiang.
With the joining of Li Ruji, Li Shaoyun, who feels that her status is stable, clears the obstacles for Zhuang Xun, and she feels that she is more and more powerful, and can use Zhuang Xun's identity to do something to share Zhuang Xun's worries.
But the harder she worked, the more time she had to let Zhuang Xun and Empress Dowager Jiang enhance their relationship, and the angry Li Shaoyun worked harder and harder, taking Li Ruxi to attack Zhuang Xun, feeling that she was willing to have a status in Zhuang Xun's eyes.
Obviously, the two are not on the same track, I don't know what they are fighting for, Zhuang Xun can't understand it, but he does enjoy the benefits.
Empress Dowager Jiang is also becoming more and more docile and humble to him, even if he doesn't do anything he loves to do, he can feel his feelings warmed up, Zhuang Xun didn't invest in his feelings, but this feeling is really enjoyable.
Under the intention of the Empress Dowager Jiang, Zhuang Xun got along with her very happily, and she could take the Empress Dowager Jiang to go green in the spring, leaving poor Concubine Li Shu to continue working.
That's right, the appointment of the Xia court has come down, and the hard-working beauty has been given its due status, and the fourth lady is also the fourth concubine.
Si Qinmi didn't have any obstacles, and the precepts in the canonization were to take care of Zhuang Xun again and again, don't let him feel wronged, Li Shaoyun understood something a little.
Everything recovered, the earth was dyed blue, and Zhuang Xun hugged the Empress Dowager Jiang in the carriage of Qinghu Mountain, grinding each other's sideburns affectionately.
Empress Dowager Jiang was insulated by Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun's possession of herself was also the result of her indulgence, if she wanted to gain the favor of the jackal, how could she not sell some meat.
Although Zhuang Xun is still wary of her psychologically, her body is very honest, and she is also eye-catching when she puts it next to her, not to mention all kinds of intimacy.
People are more delicate than flowers, kind and charming, maybe pregnant, Empress Dowager Jiang is also more and more maternal, and she is more and more liked by Zhuang Xun, just from the perspective of looking at beauties.
Today is to visit Qinghu Mountain, and at the same time, Zhuang Xun also wants to see the Xuannu, no, visiting the Xuannu is the main purpose, for the Empress Dowager Jiang, I hope that the Xuannu will discern, and it is not to discriminate, it should be said that I hope to find out the purpose of the Empress Dowager Jiang in the meeting with the Xuannu.
Xuannu's feeling is completely different from that of Empress Dowager Jiang, it is also a matter of position, but Xuannu has the tolerance of raising the muzzle of the gun by five centimeters, and Zhuang Xun's sense of Xuannu is also better, even if nothing is investigated, it is appropriate to meet this girlfriend in a different place.
The carriage walked slowly, Zhuang Xun lifted the curtain of the car, and the peasants outside had already started their work hard, with a look and light in their eyes, it should be his own land, so there was hope.
Officials were put in place, replacing the original great families, and using the army and newly promoted soldiers as the backing, promoting land distribution and giving hope to the people.
"What are you thinking?" Looking at Zhuang Xun's expression, Empress Dowager Jiang said curiously, because she was sitting on her side in Zhuang Xun's arms, she couldn't see the outside, she could only see Zhuang Xun's face.
Put away the prejudiced heart, Zhuang Xun is not unable to read, and he feels that it is not bad to see the habit, Zhuang Xun really has no shortcomings, and lust is not a shortcoming, because he is lustful and does not delay business.
Zhuang Xun's hand was still touching her belly, a little curvature, this was his mark of victory for the Empress Dowager Jiang looked at this young man who was younger than her son, and she had complicated feelings for everything, and she wanted to conceive an heir for Zhuang Xun, and she seemed to have a blood connection with him.
"Ah, I'm watching people farm." Zhuang Xun casually kissed the cheeks of the beauty, and kissed as much as he wanted, the beautiful Empress Dowager Jiang was his private property, at least he already thought so.
"What's so nice about farming." Empress Dowager Jiang is also used to it, Zhuang inquired about these small actions, he liked Empress Dowager Jiang and let it go, there was something strange, the problem was not big, the bigger problem was in the stomach, after letting go of the heart, habit became natural.
Zhuang Xun's prodigal behavior, Lan Qiu who was watching it secretly laughed, it would be great if the two of them could continue to be like this, she sincerely hoped that the two would be harmonious, so that she could reduce her guilt, betraying Empress Dowager Jiang made her feel guilty until Empress Dowager Jiang's attitude relaxed.
"I feel that I have done a meritorious deed, and I have divided the land among the people, and when they are happy, I will be happy, and there is a kind of Savior plot, and I feel that they have made their lives better."
Some people have the upper lip of heaven and the lower lip of the earth, and they want to eat everything between heaven and earth in one bite, and everyone is their own slave, dedicating everything to him and enslaving everyone.
Zhuang Xun is different, he has always implemented it, he has meat to eat, he is willing to drink soup for his subordinates, more, he eats a little bit of meat, and eats small pieces for people, and it doesn't even affect him as long as he and his wife at home have a hot kang head, and the power is not very favorable, he is willing to eat small pieces of meat and eat large pieces of meat for people.
Kind-hearted, I can't see others too difficult, even if I have traveled through so many years, and I have seen the world of fucking people too, otherwise I won't save He Heng Huang Xi and others, I am not afraid of the current difficulties, but I am afraid of the darkness that has not improved.
"Didn't I tell you before, seeing that their lives have improved, so that I will be happy to hold you, and there is no burden, because they are the ones who support me, I can't hold the great beauties who have captivated the country and the city to watch them eat soil, I have to be responsible for them."
Zhuang Xun said very naturally, he has said this sentence many times, he is not the kind of natural saint, he can ignore fame and fortune, he enjoys his feudal life at the moment, provided that he fulfills the responsibility of a feudal lord and takes care of his subjects.
He also understood that the responsibility of the feudal monarch was not like some kings who only enjoyed rights and did not bear obligations, and even thought that it was right not to bear obligations.
"Hmm." Empress Dowager Jiang responded, it's still him, it's still him, Zhuang Xun, who told himself before that he wanted to let the people of Jiannan Province be fed and clothed, has never changed, he has always been like this, saying that he is lustful, and the harem will pet a few, not about pomp, not about extravagance, and using excess money and energy to improve people's livelihood.
It's not the assessment index of the underworld, it's just because he wants to do it, he doesn't mean to make any merits, he just thinks so in his heart, and his actions are like that.
"Ma ......" kissed the cheeks of the beautiful woman again, the scenery to see, the beauty to appreciate, leisurely.
If there is no such troubled times, without this ability, Zhuang Xun wants to live like this after crossing, take his concubine to play in the mountains and rivers, enjoy the landscape, and enjoy the beauty.
Holding the beauty's hand, holding the beauty's waist, walking by the green lake, the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the mountains by the lake, and the Zhuang Inquiry will converge on the outside, you can't kiss because you look at the Empress Dowager Jiang's good looks, but the two people who walk together do have a husband and wife, the height is not very matched, and the movements are already harmonious.
Because he went out to put a hat veil on the Empress Dowager Jiang, he was afraid of causing trouble, but Zhuang Xun was not afraid of trouble, and no matter how big the trouble in Jizhou was, it could be solved.
The warm spring breeze goes to the haze, as a metaphysical holy land, the fairy meaning is hazy, but it lacks some of the popularity on weekdays, and it is no longer the prosperity of people coming and going in the past.
I remember the first time I came, there are a lot of pleasure boats, there are a lot of fishermen, there is a very commercial atmosphere, this time there are fewer people, and I found this problem while walking.
Because I came to see the Xuannu, there were few people with me, and I shouldn't let the people stay away because of the pomp and circumstance.
Walking to the dock, because of this situation, Zhuang Xun couldn't help but ask a ferryman.
"Boatman, is the war so serious? Can't everyone live in a place like Qinghu Mountain? I see fewer tourists and fewer businessmen. ”
Zhuang Xun does not want people to ask God to worship Buddha, but this can alleviate people's pain and persuade people to be good, Zhuang Xun does not object, his position is one word, practical.
"It's all because of the summer." The boatman was not polite, and said it directly.
Zhuang Xun was stunned, and Empress Dowager Jiang also pricked up her ears, this kind of depression seems to be indeed related to Zhuang Xun, he knocked down a group of powerful people, and no one is extravagant anymore.
Zhuang Xun is ready to be scolded, and he is also looking for scolding, and he can think of it if he thinks about it, and his brain is short-circuited when he asks people like this.
"The summer son has divided the fields for people, and now it is the spring ploughing season, who comes here to ferry and earn money, and I also have a son to work, so I came to see if I could do some business, and the guest officer wanted to swim in the lake."
The boatman shook his head and said, with a grateful expression on his face, as a beneficiary, he naturally had to say good things about Zhuang Xun.
"No need, it's just that the last time I came to visit the bustling Qinghu Mountain Market, I thought it was because King Xia imprisoned the great family, and because no one was there, everyone left this livelihood problem."
Zhuang Xun smiled embarrassedly, he didn't dare to sit on the boat, someone protected him, it didn't mean that he could wave at will.
"Where are you from, how can you speak ill of Xia Zi, he didn't imprison the Great Family for us ordinary people? You are from a family. ”
The boatman looked at Zhuang Xun with an unkind gaze, and suddenly had a sense of looking at the enemy, his tone was a little high, and the people around him became unfriendly when they heard it.
"If my lord can still play so leisurely at home, I'm afraid that I won't be trembling at home, and I'm afraid that my Xia army will fall from the sky."
Lan Qiu stood up and scolded directly, her words were full of arrogance, but they unexpectedly shocked these boatmen.
"It's a noble person from Xia Guo, offended." As soon as Zhuang asked them where they came from, the attitude of the boatman was much better.
"It's okay, you can be so grateful to King Xia so much, we are also happy, the benefits brought by King Xia can be shared by everyone."
Zhuang Xun smiled, isn't this attitude just a recognition of him?
"The guest officer doesn't know, the land around the Qinghu Mountain originally belonged to the Huang family, the lake and the boat originally belonged to the Bai family, farming and paying land rent, fishing and fishing and boat rent, now they are all owned by the state, everyone has been allocated land, and the Bodhisattva went down to earth in the summer to save our poor people."
The boatman said with sincerity that he would own his own land and no longer accept the exploitation of the family, and his gratitude and support for this could only be so strong.
"How can it be so exaggerated, the Xia Kingdom is like this, and the previous Yu Kingdom is also like this, King Xia should be happy to see you living a good life."
Listening to Zhuang inquiring, he can't listen to these as a monarch, and he is grateful to Dade for this kind of thing, and he almost cried, spare him.
"That's why it is said that Xia Zi is a bodhisattva who descends to earth, and he is here to save the suffering people all over the world, and you may be prejudiced against the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven is undoubtedly a saint......"
Seeing Zhuang Xun's expression of disagreement, the boatman began to share his experience endlessly, all kinds of oppression, unable to make money, and now the appearance of King Xia is like hope.
“…… Xia Zi once came to Qinghu Mountain to divinate the marriage, and asked to marry the second sister of the Li family, after this period, Qinghu Mountain will be lively, after all, the Xia King Tianzi has come. ”
"Alright, we're going up the mountain, or we won't have time to come down in a while." The boatman mentioned that he was asking for marriage, and Zhuang Xun remembered the big event.
Today's focus is to visit the Xuannu.
Walking on the mountain road, Zhuang Xun was in a happy mood, happier than looking at flowers and grass, which was clearly felt by the Empress Dowager Jiang, who was holding hands with him.
Empress Dowager Jiang didn't open the topic much, but responded to Chengzhuang's words of laughter, walked up the mountain step by step, and came to the mountain gate of the Xuannu.
She felt that Zhuang Xun deliberately let her see and soften her position, but thinking about the happy look next to Zhuang Xun, there was no trace of rehearsal.
Thinking carefully about the boatman's words, it was indeed what Zhuang Xun did that had an effect, instead of finding a group of actors, who were already very chaotic, and their hearts were even more chaotic.
"It's finally here, step up your workout, phew." Zhuang Xun, who walked to the mountain gate, wiped his sweat with his free hands.
I'm used to being pampered, I haven't walked much on the mountain road, and I'm a little tired when I walk suddenly.
Su Hand took his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and Empress Dowager Jiang said in a strange tone: "You still keep it?" ”
The handkerchief was given to Zhuang Xun at the original longevity banquet, and Zhuang Xun broke with her last time, but he didn't lose the handkerchief.
"When the anger was on the top of my head, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but I noticed it later, and I have been carrying it for so many years, and I miss you a little bit before, and finally I thought about it, but I still didn't lose it."
Zhuang Xun explained that the attitude towards the handkerchief is the same as the attitude towards people, at the beginning I wanted to kill and tear it off, and then the reason came up, and the thinking was different, and the fate of the handkerchief was better than that of people, and the utensils were not people after all.
"Well, let's go inside." Rubbing Zhuang Xun's cheeks with a handkerchief, Empress Dowager Jiang withdrew her pocket.
"My handkerchief...... You're going to take it back? Zhuang Xun's brows furrowed.
"I haven't been by your side before, so you will miss me if you give you a handkerchief, and now the mourning family will always be by your side, what do you want to do with a handkerchief."
