Chapter 913: Yanzhou Raising Grain
After separating from Liu Shilang, Liu Yunxiang did not dare to delay too much and continued to go north. The food raised along the road has been sent to Lingnan by Lingyun's horse gang.
This is not a military salary from the imperial court, and she can only use her own people to transport it over in her own name.
After crossing the Yellow River on this day, an official was waiting at the ferry.
Feng Zheng recognized the official first, "Old Wangtou, why are you here?" ”
The official was about fifty years old, not tall, and because there were too many people getting off the boat, it was bustling, he tiptoed around and didn't see it, but fortunately, Feng Zheng saw him.
"Little three! Ouch, you still have good eyesight! The official breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly greeted him.
When he came to him, Wang Xiangmian hurriedly saluted Liu Yunxiang.
"Crown Princess, our subordinates are waiting for you here, please go to Yanzhou."
"But what's the urgency?"
"The carriage is ready for you."
Wang Xiangmian pointed to the carriage in the distance, Liu Yunxiang wanted to go back to Shengjing directly, but after thinking about it, he got into the carriage and went to Yanzhou first.
"Yang He had better be in a hurry, otherwise the palace won't spare him!"
Feng Zheng was very happy when he heard that he was going to Yanzhou, "I want to tell Yang Futai that I am going to marry Zijin." ”
Zijin kicked him, "I haven't agreed to marry you yet!" ”
"I'm not in a hurry, but I have to inform Yang Futai, otherwise he will always worry about my marriage, wait for the crown princess to agree, wait for you to agree, and wait for the Lingnan war to settle down, and we will get married again."
"Heh, so you've already planned it."
"I think about it during the day and at night, but I think about it when I'm free."
Feng Zheng and Zijin's affairs, how could Liu Yunxiang not know, but there are more urgent matters at the moment, so he can only put it aside first.
This place is not far from Yanzhou, and it takes two days to arrive.
Yang He got the letter and greeted her at the city gate.
"Crown Princess, hurry up and go to the city to rest."
Liu Yunxiang opened the curtain of the car to see Yang He, he was wearing a plain white robe, just like he had seen him in the cell before, like a down-and-out scholar. After going through a prison sentence and almost being beheaded, there was no trace of darkness between his eyebrows, and he still smiled brightly, even younger and more energetic than before.
When he reached middle age, he was so handsome and polite, and he estimated that he had stolen the hearts of many women.
"Yang Futai, I thought that your Yanzhou city gate was on fire, and I was in a hurry to call the palace over!" Liu Yunxiang didn't have a good airway.
But seeing him smiling so happily, it was clear that nothing big had happened.
Yang He laughed, "Don't worry, princess, take care of your value." ”
Liu Yunxiang's mind turned, and he didn't worry about it anymore, "Then let's find a place to talk about it in detail first." ”
"Why don't you take a break?"
"The war in Lingnan is tense, and the situation in Shengjing is unstable, how dare I delay more."
"Okay, let's go to the city."
Entering the city, Liu Yunxiang opened the curtain of the car and looked out, it was worthy of Yanzhou City, there were many shops on both sides of the street, business was booming, people walked in groups on the street to buy, street vendors were selling, some asked for the price, some bargained, and the weaving was prosperous.
If every place in Darong is like Yanzhou, then there will be no displaced people, the politics will be clear, and the government and the people will be of the same heart, but there will be only one Yanzhou in the entire Darong.
Walking on the street, women passing by like to say hello to Yang He, or make a joke.
"Lord Yang, thanks to you for enlightening that kid in my family, he has been working diligently for a while, and he hasn't done anything to his daughter-in-law anymore, and the family is harmonious."
"That's good, but I started a little heavier that day, and his eyes are still green?"
"Let him be green, so that he can remember it for a long time."
"Drowning like a child, you finally figured it out."
"If you don't understand it, won't you live up to your hard work. By the way, in the spring, my family brewed a few jars of osmanthus wine, and I will send you two jars when I turn around. ”
"Then I'll thank you."
"By the way, the girl who got married out of the other side of my family has left home, and she looks so smart, I'll be a matchmaker, tell you about this family business?"
"Don't, I'm going to get married, and all the women in the city will be heartbroken."
The woman smiled and walked away, and Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but laugh as she listened in the carriage. An official can get along with the people, and his feelings can be so good, and the Darong official is only one Yang He.
Feng Zheng really told Yang He about him and Zijin, Yang He was very happy, and while hugging Feng Zheng and praising him for his vision, he sighed that he had grown up.
"You're going to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm still an old bachelor."
"Then you ......"
"I dreamed of my wife last night, and she said that if I dared to marry again, she would take me down with her."
Feng Zheng pouted, "Your lies always come as soon as you open your mouth." ”
"You don't believe me?"
"I don't believe it."
"Then I'll have Madame go to you tonight."
"Don't, I don't believe you can't make it."
When he came to Yanzhou Mansion, Liu Yunxiang got out of the car and saw a lot of grain bags stacked in front of him, one person high, dozens of zhang long, square and stacked into a hill. And there are several wooden boxes next to them, full of broken silver.
"This ......" Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened.
"I learned that the crown prince and the crown princess were fighting in Lingnan, and our Yanzhou was far away, so we couldn't make much effort, but we had surplus food at home, so the people spontaneously donated food and money. We are not donating to the imperial court, only supporting you and the crown prince. ”
While talking, the villagers came over with grain on their backs, and a whole big bag was stacked on the hill.
"This is for the crown prince." The fellow also made a special explanation.
The official replied: "Don't worry, fellow, we will be handed over to the crown prince and the crown princess." ”
Hearing this, the fellow left with peace of mind.
"The prince cut off the extra thirty percent of the tax in Yanzhou, and he didn't pursue the arrears before, and the people of Yanzhou are very grateful to him." Yang He said.
Liu Yunxiang was very moved in his heart, and he was also very grateful to the people of Yanzhou for remembering Yan Dui.
"Also, our Yanzhou government has raised 100,000 stone of military rations for you and the prince, and purchased a batch of forage for horses from Weizhou, and we came to you to discuss how to transport these grains and grass." Yang He said.
The emperor did not agree to fight, and the crown prince insisted on fighting, so the current situation was very delicate, and he was not confused about it, so it was best to let Liu Yunxiang arrange it.
"On behalf of the crown prince, I thank the people of Yanzhou and Yang Futai for their generosity, I will arrange these grains and grasses, and Yang Futai should not be involved too much."
"That's what I thought, too."
These grains and grasses have solved the urgent needs of Lingnan and can help them survive this winter.
Liu Yunxiang was not in a hurry to return to Beijing at the moment, stayed in Yanzhou, waited for Lingyun's horse gang to come back, and transported the grain to Lingnan in three batches. After the grain and grass are arranged, Liu Yunxiang will return to Shengjing, it has already passed the New Year's Festival, and spring will start soon.
It's just that as soon as her carriage entered the city, it was stopped by the palace guards.
"Crown princess, the emperor is in a hurry to summon you, please come with us to the palace first."
