Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 439
In late November, heavy snow fell, the Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed, and the news that the Southern Han ruler was captured by the Qin army has become the most discussed topic in the streets and alleys, in Goulan wine shops, among ordinary people, from all religions and streams.

Speaking of this incident, as a citizen of the Qin State, all of them are elated, high-spirited, and full of vitality.

The Son of Heaven has ordered the escort of the Southern Han official and the head of state to the capital, and it is expected to arrive in the year before, which will be the biggest New Year's gift this year.

"I want to see what the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty looks like!" In the teahouse, the guest with a flying look excitedly said.

The shopkeeper served hot tea and said with a smile: "I will definitely see Le before the Chinese New Year. I don't think it's a big deal. It's not my defeat under Daqin."

"That is, who is our opponent in the world today, not even the Liao Kingdom!" The tea guest said quite proudly.

The rest of the people also came to chime in one after another, talking about the military power of the Qin State now, as long as people from the Qin Dynasty talked about it, they couldn't hide their pride inside and outside the words, and they were a little excited.

Those who are not well-educated just yell loudly, while those who are cleanly dressed and look educated are more restrained, but their words are full of pride inside and out.

"It will be a matter of time before my Great Qin dominates the world. The king of Wuyue in the south has always been friendly to us. Only Jiangnan Kingdom has to be careful."

"What are you afraid of, the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, even his wife was robbed by our officials, and he didn't even dare to fart, what kind of situation can it be!"

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed out loud, thinking it made sense.

This is not a palace secret. After all, it is well known. It's just that Li Yu was not the lord of Jiangnan at the beginning, and he was not called Li Yu, but Li Congjia. People didn't pay much attention to it. This matter has attracted more attention and talk about it from outsiders.

When it comes to this matter, there are always countless rumors, and there are various opinions.

However, because of Emperor Shi's deeds and achievements over the years, and Zhou Xian being conferred the title of concubine Shu, he was very favored, so most of the rumors and speculations were in favor of Emperor Shi.

Either it was rumored that Zhou Xianfang had a secret promise, or it was said that the two were in love with each other, or that Zhou Xian was subdued by Emperor Shi and willing to serve, etc.
Downstairs was also talking lively about those rumors, the discussion of the war ahead was put aside, everyone still prefers to discuss this kind of eclectic gossip.

Hearing this, Emperor Shi, who was seated on the second floor, blushed.

As soon as he looked up, the eight plainclothes Imperial Guard masters standing in the corners of the wing looked serious and indifferent, as if they hadn't heard anything.

On the contrary, Second Sister Fu, who was sitting opposite him, snorted and said: "The government is really a hero of the world by force and plunder."

After getting along with him for a long time, Second Sister Fu has become more courageous. He also found that Second Sister Fu is a typical coward, carefree with acquaintances, but timid and shy when facing outsiders and strangers, especially on the bed. She is much more shy than the mature and glamorous Empress Dowager Fu.

Shi Congyun smirked: "I had no choice but to do it for the sake of the common people in the world. You don't understand the truth, so I will tell you quietly at night."

Sure enough, upon hearing this ambiguous hint, the bases of her pure white ears turned red, and she was not so aggressive, instead she clenched her fists and put them in front of her knees.

"Why, it's not awesome anymore." Shi Congyun asked funny.

Fu Ermei pouted and lowered her head slightly: "How dare I."

Shi Congyun laughed, got up and took her little hand, "Let's go, let's go out early."

The second sister obediently went downstairs with him, both of them were wearing casual clothes, and they brought eight masters of the forbidden army with them, the tea guests downstairs were still discussing the rumors about Emperor Shi's sex, but they didn't know that the real master passed them by.

Emperor Shi brought eight tall and burly men, which naturally attracted some curious eyes, but more people didn't care.

The Imperial Army at the back paid for the tea, and Emperor Shi took Fu Ermei into the carriage.

This trip out of the city is mainly to inspect the industrial area by the Bian River. There are large workshops in full swing. Thousands of craftsmen work there, responsible for the manufacture and packaging of gunpowder, artillery, ordnance, etc.

Moreover, the number of workshops and the proficiency of craftsmen are still increasing.

In the court yesterday, Feng Jisheng reported to him that there were not enough houses in the living area by the Bian River and that it needed to be expanded, because more and more craftsmen and officials were working by the Bian River, and the population there was getting denser.

Most of the families of craftsmen and officials were also housed there.

First, many craftsmen were recruited from all over the country, and they needed a place to resettle, and they had to solve the problem of settling down and living.

Second, concentrating craftsmen and family members by the Bian River is also conducive to management and prevents secrets from leaking out.

This method was proposed by several prime ministers, and Emperor Shi agreed.

Although it is ruthless, it is a necessary means. Putting their family there is not only convenient for their life, but also has the meaning of being a hostage. Even if there is a traitor among them, the monk can escape the temple.

This is an effective and tender means of control, and Emperor Shi attached great importance to the industrial area by the Bian River.

So much so that Feng Jisheng said yesterday that today he will go to check the situation himself to confirm.

It was too tiring to go outside the city, so he brought the lively and active second sister Fu.

When they came out of Daliang all the way, they followed the busy official road to the riverside and boarded the heavily guarded boat. Feng Jisheng and other officials were already waiting for the boat, and then surrounded by many people, they inspected the bustling industrial area with people coming and going. .

The pungent coal, sulfur, and steel smells are not pleasant, and the large continuous areas are full of crowded people.

Emperor Shi was relieved to see the busy scene on the shore, and many people also looked this way, but they didn't recognize Shi Congyun who was standing behind in casual clothes, mostly just saying hello to Feng Jisheng.

Soon he arrived at the crowded living area further downstream. Many women were washing and washing by the river, and many children were playing around at the desk. Compared with the crowded working area, the living area was much quieter, but as Feng Jisheng said, a large stretch of houses , very crowded.

Emperor Shi looked at it and frowned: "The living area should be built upstream, and the waste water from above should be discharged into the river, and the people below will continue to use it. This will not work."

Feng Jisheng and the others were taken aback for a moment, they really hadn't thought of this matter, and said in succession: "The minister didn't think carefully, please forgive me from the officials."

Shi Congyun looked at the bustling houses on the bank, those children and women who were playing around, and finally said: "It just so happens that this time I got a lot of things from the Nanhan, and there is money in the treasury to repair new houses.

The day after tomorrow, you, the Bazuo Division, and people from the Ministry of Industry will come to see me at the Chuigong Hall, and have a good discussion about building a new settlement in the upper reaches for craftsmen and officials' families.

Things in this world not only need to be blocked, but also need to be cleared. If our treatment is not good enough, we will not be able to retain skilled craftsmen. Even if we use other means, we will only keep them tied up temporarily. It will not work for a long time, and the treatment needs to keep up.

This is the country's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers, and it cannot be sloppy. "

"Yes! The minister will pass on the official's kindness to every craftsman, and let them know the official's kindness." Feng Jisheng answered immediately.

Shi Congyun nodded, thinking well, and knew how to advance and retreat.

Sure enough, after the second day, rumors spread among the craftsmen that Emperor Shi visited Bianshui in private in his micro-clothes, saw the craftsmen's family members downstream from the workshop, and immediately demanded to build a house for them and their families upstream.

The craftsmen rushed to express their congratulations to each other, and at the same time, they were grateful to Emperor Shi. They were full of gratitude and worked harder.

Emperor Shi did not write a blank check either. Just a few days later, the construction of houses in the living area by the Bian River led by the Department of Confidentiality, the Ministry of Industry, and the Department of Eight Works began immediately.

By December, when the end of the year was approaching, the first large armies from the South had triumphantly returned.

Emperor Shi left Pan Mei to take charge of local aftermath affairs, suppress possible follow-up riots and sporadic local rebellions, and transferred [-]% of the troops back.

After all, leaving it there for a day is a huge expense, and Emperor Shi can't wait.

When the first batch of troops arrived at the Peking University Camp, Shi Congyun sent Lu Qiu Zhongqing to personally reward the three armies, distribute rewards, and then give holidays to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who had been fighting for almost a year.

The second batch of returning troops was led by Si Chao and Guo Tingwei personally, and remanded to the Southern Han Dynasty, a large number of heavyweight prisoners of more than 1000 people.

This time Shi Congyun did not give Liu Yan the same face as he did to Meng Chang and Liu Min.

Instead, they asked Si Chao and others to escort the captives to stay in the North Camp, and asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to prepare a grand ceremony for presenting the captives. Liu Yan and him later condemned those eunuchs, maids, and witches.

On the eighth day of December, before the Chinese New Year, the sun had just risen early in the morning, and the blood of last night had not yet dissipated. The armor was bright and the spirit was bright. The mighty and majestic Qin Imperial Guard escorted a long team of prisoners of war from the south water gate to Daliang, Kaifeng Mansion The government servants have been maintaining order on both sides of the street.

Countless people flocked to the streets, watching excitedly and curiously the lord of other countries and his ministers captured by their own army, pointing, whispering and discussing in the streets and alleys.It became a grand event for a while, as if celebrating the New Year ahead of schedule.
