Chapter 147: East Wilderness

The young lady said: "The minister thinks that Lord Ji De is thoughtful, but this will inevitably occupy the resources of the Inner History Mansion, and the minister wants to ask for the king's order, and find land to open up the wasteland by himself, so that these slaves can be settled at that time." "The young lady also wants to go to the field to feel the iron rake, so I say so.

The king said: "It's a good thing that Aiqing wants to find land and open up the wasteland by himself, but you haven't been in the imperial court for a long time, and you are not familiar with the national situation, so I don't know what Aiqing's plans are?"

The young lady said: "I heard that the beast plague is rampant in Donghuanggang, and there is a large wasteland, so I want to explore there, and if possible, I will open up the wasteland in Donghuanggang." ”

Dawang said: "Donghuanggang has always been the first place for the people of Saiwai Rong to go south, and it is sparsely populated, so it is better to change places for Aiqing." ”

The young lady said: "The minister had researched the map before the envoy to Zhongshan, and Donghuanggang was adjacent to the Guangling City of Zhongshan Kingdom, and the nearby rivers were abundant. ”

The king said: "If Aiqing goes to Donghuanggang to develop people's livelihood, these slaves will be fewer. ”

After speaking, he turned to Ji Ju and continued: "Aiqing once replied, you sent an envoy to ask for slaves this time, the Qi country went first, the Qi country did not want to send slaves to help, and the Jin country that arrived later, the Jin country quickly replied to give a hundred slaves to the Erudite Master's Mansion, and was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Qi country did not send slaves to help educate the Rong people, but so?"

Ji Ju said: "The king is wise, that's exactly the case. ”

The king said: "In this case, you can go to the Qi country again to explain the ambition of my country's erudite master, and see how the Qi country responds?"

Ji Ju said: "The minister is not optimistic about this trip, the king of Qi seems to be sick and has no time to take care of himself. ”

The king said: "My country has given Qi a peerless treasure, can Qi Guoan be like this? ”

Ji Ju said, "No, obey the king's orders." With that, he returned to the queue.

The king said to the young lady: "It's better for Qing to choose another place, don't go to a remote place to open up your own farmland." ”

The young lady said: "Thank you, the king, although it is difficult to open up the wasteland and live in the East Wilderness Gang, once it is successful, it can benefit hundreds of generations, and the ministers will arrange it properly." ”

The king said: "Since Qing's intention has been decided, Gu will add the seal of Aiqing Donghuanggang Lingyin, and all the cultivated land opened up will be disposed of by you as a fief." ”

The young lady said, "Thank you, the king, the minister still has this to play." ”

The king said: "Aiqing, but you want to talk about giving the status of a slave?" Yesterday, the king heard the eighth princess talk about the affairs of Zhongshan Kingdom, so now he can guess accurately.

The young lady said: "It is precisely that the minister's envoy to Zhongshan this time is quite inspired, if the slaves have an identity and can move freely, it will be beneficial to promote the development of wasteland in our country." ”

Ji Ping said: "What the erudite master said is very true, but this move involves a wide range of things, and you can't rush it. ”

The young lady said: "My lord reminds me that the minister will go back and think about it again, and then think about it and improve it, and then make it clear for the king and all the adults to decide." With that, he returned to the queue.

The crowd discussed the contents of some of the expedited reports sent to Luoyang, and scattered the dynasty to do their own things.

The young lady took the horse to Bogu Tongjin Pavilion, looked through the court records of this month, asked a few scholars about the latest matters, and knew that Li Er had set off from Luoyang, and Yan Guo was the first stop of his trip, and he should arrive in a few days.

The young lady said, "If the petty official arrives, you can take him to my house." "I thought that there was something strange about this Li Er, and I wanted to let Guan Fengzi take a good look.

A few books obeyed the promise, and the young lady went out of the courtyard and continued to gossip.

The young lady returned home, changed into her official uniform, and said to Ying Ning: "You go and call Hua Bao and the housekeeper, I have something to say." ”

Ying Ning packed up her official uniform and went out to find a few people, and after a while, Hua Leopard arrived first.

Hua Bao knelt down at the low table, and the young lady said, "How did the Yang brothers learn to ride horses?"

Hua Bao said: "There is no problem, these two brothers are agile and learn quickly, and they have already gone to the three graves this morning." ”

The young lady said, "That's good, I never thought that this Yanzhong duo is famous, but he can't ride a horse." ”

Hua Bao said: "Ordinary people, where can they afford horses, although the small ones are landlords, in order to learn martial arts, they also sell horses, and their families are ox carts." ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, it was Ying Ning, Hua Guan, and Mei came together.

Several people sat around the low table, and when the young lady saw that everyone had arrived, she said: "This morning, I asked the king for the order to develop the wasteland of Donghuanggang, and the king sealed my Donghuanggang Lingyin, presumably the official seal will not arrive soon, what do you think?"

The chief housekeeper said: "I heard that Donghuanggang is sparsely populated, if the young lady goes to manage it, I'm afraid there will be not enough manpower." ”

Hua Leopard said: "If the head of the family wants to go to Donghuanggang to sit in the town, he must have taken a fancy to the location of the ground there, but as the chief steward said, Donghuanggang has always been a place where the people of Rong must pass through in the south, sparsely populated, animal plagues are rampant, and it is said that leopards often appear traces, and we are really not enough manpower now." ”

The young lady said: "To educate the people of Zhongshan State, the Jin State has funded 100 slaves in our house, and it is now under the temporary jurisdiction of the Inner History Office, and our government can use it at any time, and manpower is not a problem." ”

The chief butler said, "In that case, what does the young lady command?" ”

The young lady said: "When the guard and the Yang family return home, I will go to Donghuanggang to investigate, and then Hua Bao, Ying Ning, and the Yang family will follow me, and the big housekeeper and the guard will continue to be optimistic about the portal, do you have any suggestions?"

Ying Ning didn't want to stay at home for a long time, and said, "Okay, just drive the wild ** to me then." ”

The big housekeeper has been tortured by Ying Ning these days, and he will eat like this and like that. Hearing that this little evil star was going to leave him, he was also very happy, and said, "Since Miss has made up her mind, I will go and prepare, I don't know how Miss will arrange it?"

The young lady said to the chief housekeeper: "My house is expanding, and when we are employing people, this time I will go to Donghuanggang, and it is inconvenient for the house to send more hand-drawn carriages, you and Mei will prepare more sacks and baggage, at least one hundred slaves will be one for each person, and then the slaves will be uniformly distributed with food and luggage, and the twelve cows given to me by the chiefs will be taken away together, and some iron tools will be bought and distributed to the slaves, and the houses will be opened up." ”

After speaking, he reached into his arms, took out a silver ingot of about ten taels, and handed it to the big butler.

The chief butler took the money and said, "I have written it down, when is the young lady going to leave?"

The young lady said: "Now that the weather is warm, it is a good time, if there is no accident, Wei Guan and the Yang family will return to the mansion, and we will prepare to go." ”

The chief butler said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Inner History Mansion to see where these slaves are, how old they are, and how old they are, and it will be easy to arrange them then." ”

Mei said on the side: "Tomorrow I will go buy some herbs, so as not to have an accident on the way." ”

Ying Ning said: "Then I'll buy those sacks tomorrow, and then order a few ox cart carriages." "This fox demon has some skills to communicate with animals, and now that the young lady is home, she is in a good mood, and she also takes the initiative to ask for help, anyway, whatever you buy is sent to the house to find the big housekeeper to settle accounts.

Miss is a blessed person, someone will come to deliver pillows when she sleeps, and now she is going to develop Donghuanggang, and she doesn't want someone to send thousands of slaves from a hundred miles away.
