Han Dao world

Chapter 1021
Just as they were talking, a girl official came to report that Mrs. Taiwei, Mrs. Situ, Mrs. Sikong and other ministers and women came into the palace to congratulate the queen on the New Year.

Fu Shou immediately regained his composure and ordered someone to come in.

Xun Wenqian and the others also became solemn, not daring to lose face in front of Mrs. Sangong.In the palace, it's fine for them to bicker with each other, it's not good for outsiders to see.

The three ladies entered the hall and took their seats one by one.

Although Mrs. Taiwei was ranked first, she was taciturn and said nothing after she had said what she should say.Mrs. Sikong's Mrs. Liu didn't talk much, only Mrs. Situ's Mrs. Yuan was talkative, and she talked to the queen about the situation.

She just came back from her hometown and saw many things, the most important of which was of course related to Dutian.

Runan is a large county. At its peak, it had more than [-] households and a population of more than two million. It was one of the largest counties in the country.

Therefore, there are many rich families in Runan, and there is great resistance to Dutian, which has not been implemented so far.

Zong Cheng, the prefect of Runan, had a headache because of this.

Knowing that Mrs. Situ had returned home to visit her relatives, Zong Cheng specially rushed to Ruyang to see her and ask Yuan for advice.

Yuan said with a smile on her face, "I'm a woman, how can I understand government affairs. I wanted to refuse him, but I couldn't bear to see my hometown fall behind, so I had to agree to him and tell the problem to someone who can solve it."

Fu Shou was a little surprised. "Runan hasn't saved the land yet?"

"No." Yuan Shi shook his head. "People are not active, and officials are not motivated."

Fu Shou's eyes froze. "Among the officials Madam mentioned, do you include the prefect Zongzi?"

"It should be included." Yuan Shi smiled. "When he came to see me, I'm afraid he didn't necessarily want to save the land, but he didn't want to save the land, but he had to make a statement due to the situation."

"how so?"

Yuan Shi smiled and remained silent.

Xun Wenqian on the side listened and took over the topic. "There are many aristocratic families in Nanyang, and the Zong family also has a lot of land. He doesn't own any land, so how can he have the confidence to ask the Runan aristocratic family to do land?"

Yuan Shi turned her head to look at Xun Wenqian, with a wider smile on her lips.

Suddenly, Fu Shou nodded, and did not continue this topic.

Although she is a queen, she spends most of her time in the harem, unlike Xun Wenqian and others who have their own affairs and have smooth communication with the outside world.As for Zongzi, she only heard his name and knew that he was a famous scholar in Nanyang, but she didn't know the rest.

This is also the reason why she is unwilling to interfere in the government.

Speaking of these, she is obviously not as good as Xun Wenqian.

Seeing that Fushou was not interested, Yuan Shi had no choice but to avoid talking about it, and instead talked about folk activities to celebrate the New Year.

Guanzhong Du Tianzao, and the implementation is relatively thorough, and it has developed rapidly in the past two years.The people live a stable life, have no worries about food and clothing, and are close to the water. Many families send their children to school, and those who learn quickly have graduated and entered the workshop to work.

For ordinary people who do not expect to be officials, the children who have just grown up enter the workshop to work, earn a salary that is not less than that of farming, and the family income has increased by a large margin. This is already a very satisfactory result.

With money, it is natural to buy more new year's goods and add some new clothes.

Especially those young people who are working in the first year and have just received money, usually buy something nice and treat themselves.Those who are filial will buy some gifts for their parents.

This has also led to a boom in the market, and business is particularly good.

As Situ's wife, Yuan Shi was the happiest seeing this scene.

The people's livelihood is good, naturally it is Situ's credit.

But Yuan Shi was still modest and mentioned one point in particular.

The Son of Heaven patrolled Jizhou in the east, accompanied by nearly [-] troops, which relieved a lot of burden for Guanzhong.If there are [-] troops stationed in Guanzhong, among other things, the price of food will fluctuate greatly.Once the food price fluctuates sharply, even if the common people have money in their hands, they dare not spend it lightly.

As far as the current situation in Guanzhong is concerned, the food can just meet the demand, with a slight surplus.

It is somewhat difficult to support the conquest of the army.

For example, the money and food for the Northern Army's conquest of Yizhou had to be shared by Sanfu and Liangzhou.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing knowingly.

Mrs. Situ has finished praising her husband and son.There are elite soldiers in Liangzhou, which is nothing to say, but the one that can provide a lot of food is Hanyang County where her son Yang Xiu is the prefect.

It has to be said that she is really rich and noble.

From the Yuan family, married to the Yang family, her husband is the current Sangong, and her son is the future Sangong.

In addition to being envious, Xun Wenqian also heard Yuan's implication.

Even if Guanzhong recovers quickly, it will not be able to support a major battle.Even the conquest of Yizhou is a bit reluctant, let alone thousands of miles away?

In order to realize the conquest of the Western Regions, not only the national power of the big man is needed, but also the rapid development of the big man, and the national power can be doubled several times before it is possible.

Otherwise, the conquest of the Western Regions would be militaristic and unsustainable.

No wonder the emperor is so urgent to Du Tian.

Suddenly, Xun Wenqian somewhat understood the emperor's thoughts, and then felt a little regret for her father Xun Yu's persistence.

After all, he still missed the best opportunity.

-

Hedong, Anyi.

Mrs. Tang was invited to the prefect's mansion to celebrate the New Year with Xun Yu's family.

After taking her seat, Mrs. Tang looked at Xun Yu's eyes and found that although Xun Yu was a little thin, he was in good spirits, at least he didn't see any negative emotions such as depression.

"I'm going to be transferred." Xun Yu said.

Mrs. Tang was taken aback. "Transferred? Where to go?"

"Henan."

"Henan Yin?"

Xun Yu nodded, showing a little self-mockery. "The Situ Mansion believes that although I can't attack the fortress, I can still stabilize one side. The people's livelihood in Henan is ruined, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. A person like me is needed to appease the people."

Mrs. Tang pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I will go with you."

Xun Yu quickly said, "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this."

Mrs. Tang said with a smile: "I am not for you, but for myself. Henan must build a printing workshop. I will go to Henan, and it will be closer to home. Besides, the development of Hedong Yinfang has reached its limit, and it is difficult to expand. , can’t satisfy my ambition.”

She stroked Xun Mata's little head. "It's not interesting for me to stay in Hedong alone. If I go to Henan with you, there will be people around me to talk to."

Xun Yu and his wife looked at each other, but did not speak.

Mrs. Tang was alone. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, her psychological loneliness could not be resolved.She likes Xunmata very much, and often takes Xunmata to live there for a few days.If it were someone else, Xun Yu might have adopted this son to her.

But Mrs. Tang has a special status. Her ex-husband not only used to be the emperor, but now also has the status of King Hongnong.Based on the emperor's feelings for his dead brother, there is a high probability that in the future he will choose an heir for King Hongnong to inherit the throne.

With this consideration in mind, he could not adopt his son to Mrs. Tang without authorization.

"Do you want to ask the emperor for instructions?"

"Of course I want it." Madam Tang smiled. "However, based on my understanding of the emperor, he will not object. Wen Ruo, don't be too depressed. Going to Henan may not be a bad thing."

Xun Yu nodded.

He can understand the emperor's mind, but because of understanding, he is even more depressed.

This shows that the emperor's position for him is no longer a capable minister who dares to be the first in the world, but only a follower.
