Monument Yangmen

Chapter 766 Sudden More Than 200 Mouths

Through the tent, the sound was very faint.

There are shyness, fear, uneasiness, and whispered comfort.

In the end, it all turned into heavy gasps and low moans.

The three women heard the movement in the tent, their cheeks flushed slightly.

After looking at each other, they hurriedly fled outside the tent.

The hibiscus tent warms up the spring night.

Spring nights are worth thousands of dollars.

I don't know how long Yang Qi and Du Jin'e tossed about in the tent, anyway, they both got up late the next morning.

Du Jin'e was like a shy little daughter-in-law who was teased and pulled away by Cao Lin's third daughter.

Yang Qi regained his true colors as the lord of the country, and returned to his office tent to continue handling official duties.

Although it was the first day of the new year, Yang Qi didn't have so much time to spend time with his family in Youzhou.

As soon as they arrived at the office tent, Peng Pai and Chen Lin came together.

With a sullen face, Peng Pai walked ahead with his head raised.

Chen Lin bowed her waist and followed Peng Pai with a smile.

"Chen Peng Pai..."

"Slave Chen Lin..."

"See Your Majesty."

Yang Qi sat at the table, looked at the two people in front of him, and said in amazement: "When did you two get together?"

Chen Lin bowed her waist and said with a smile: "Last night on New Year's Eve, the lonely servant girl happened to meet the lonely Peng Pai. We got to know each other after chatting for a few words..."

"Humph!"

Peng Pai snorted unceremoniously, obviously not agreeing with Chen Lin's statement.

Yang Qi didn't have time to worry about this kind of issue, he looked at the two and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

Chen Lin said with a smile on her face: "Now that I have voted for Your Majesty, I can't be a useless person. I have been in surveillance for many years, and I have some experience. I talked about this with Peng Pai last night, and I think that I am a useful person, so I want to invite you Let's help His Majesty do things together.

The servant girl thought about it, but I still need to ask His Majesty for instructions on this matter, and His Majesty will make a decision. "

Yang Qi was obviously taken aback when he heard Chen Lin's words.

Frankly speaking, since Chen Lin joined him until now, he really hadn't thought about arranging any job for Chen Lin.

Although Yang Qi is now the lord of a country and is qualified to use eunuchs, Yang Qi does not intend to use eunuchs.

So Chen Lin has been idle in Yanjing City.

Now Chen Lin is going to help Peng Pai manage the Scarecrow, which makes Yang Qi a little surprised.

Yang Qi looked at Peng Pai and questioned, "Is that so?"

Peng Pai exposed Chen Lin without hesitation, "I didn't say these words. It was Chen Lin who approached me last night, and wanted to use the people from the pacification department brought from the Song Dynasty in exchange for the officials who supervised the officials." Authority."

When Chen Lin heard this, she didn't feel shy or afraid at all because of being exposed by Peng Pai's lies.

He looked at Yang Qi, and said seriously: "The reason why this servant did this is also for the good of His Majesty, and for the good of Peng Pai."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin told Yang Qi exactly what he had said to persuade Peng Pai last night.

After listening to Chen Lin's words, Yang Qi remained silent.

Yang Qi could tell that Chen Lin had a thorough analysis of the matter of supervising officials, and she also distinguished various conflicts of interests in detail.

From a professional point of view, Chen Lin is more professional in supervision than Peng Pai.

However, Yang Qi still expressed doubts about Chen Lin's loyalty.

After all, Chen Lin is different from Peng Pai. Before that, Yang Qi and Chen Lin only met a few times, but Peng Pai accompanied Yang Qi all the way to grow up.

In terms of trust, Yang Qi naturally trusted Peng Pai more.

But leaving someone like Chen Lin alone would be a waste.

Under the watchful eyes of Peng Pai and Chen Lin, Yang Qi thought for a long time, and said: "The scarecrow has been responsible for the reconnaissance of spies from all over the world, and has already spied intelligence. Supervising officials is only a means used in special times.

The scarecrow itself was created to deal with spies from various countries. It has spying on intelligence and is responsible for assassinations.

Supervising officials is not within their powers.

Our country of Yan has a censor platform, and it is the responsibility of the censor to supervise all officials.

Of course, in order to avoid the protection of officials and officials, I should also have a certain amount of eyes and ears among the people.

Originally, I planned to separate a branch from the scarecrows and set up a new department called the Supervision Department, which would be under Yushitai.

Since you, Chen Lin, have people under your command, then they will all belong to Yushitai.

You, Chen Lin, will be in charge of the No. 1 supervisory department. "

Chen Lin and Peng Pai froze in place when they heard the words.

Things didn't go the way the two of them imagined.

Peng Pai originally thought that after Yang Qi found out about this, he would either choose to trust him unconditionally, or he would give Chen Lin some power from himself.

Chen Lin and Peng Pai imagined the same.

But Yang Qi didn't do what they imagined.

Not only did Yang Qi fail to separate out Peng Pai's power, but instead established a new department.

The emergence of a new department not only perfectly solved the problems of the two of them, but also added a new force to Yan's supervision department.

How do they know.

when they asked the question.

Two words popped out of Yang Qi's mind.

One is called the Procuratorate, and the other is called the Ministry of State Security.

There are obviously two temperaments, why must one person do it?

Wouldn't it be more efficient to hand over professional matters to professional people?
And with this arrangement, Yang Qi doesn't have to worry about Chen Lin's loyalty.

Once Chen Lin led his people into the Yushitai, it was tantamount to putting herself on the bright side.

Any conspiracy is like snowflakes, unable to withstand the sun.

Chen Lin didn't know what Yang Qi was thinking. After hearing that Yang Qi asked him to bring his brothers into Yushitai, he was completely stunned.

After a long while, he said with trembling lips: "Your Majesty... Let the servants enter the court as officials?"

Yang Qi looked at Chen Lin in astonishment, "Is there a problem?"

Chen Lin shook her head excitedly, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

In Yang Qi's heart, he did this only to enrich his strength.

But in Chen Lin's eyes, Yang Qi was treating him like a human being.

Treat him like a normal person.

This is a blessing from heaven for him as an eunuch, and even for the entire eunuch group.

Who would want to be a slave when they have the opportunity to be a human?
From what Chen Lin claimed, one could guess the change in his mind.

Yang Qi waved his hand and said: "Don't stick around here anymore, go down and do things. Set up the shelves under your hands as soon as possible. The replenishment of manpower should be replenished. Before the Yan Kingdom settles down, the two men under your hands must be perfected. department."

"promise……"

After the two bowed and saluted, they withdrew from the tent where Yang Qi was working.

After the two left, Yang Qi began to stay in the tent and review the memorials again.

During this period, Cao Lin's four daughters came over one after another to bring food and drink to Yang Qi, other than that, no one bothered Yang Qi anymore.

After each copy of the memorial was approved by Yang Qi, he hurriedly recruited people to send it out.

This busy, is more than half a month.

Time unknowingly arrived at the Lantern Festival.

After Yang Qi was busy with his official duties, he was about to take his wife and children to set off lanterns.

Although Yanjing City was being rebuilt and there was nothing in the city except the army and prisoners, but as Yang Qi, it was easy to get two lanterns.

However, Yang Qi just changed into a long gown, ready to take advantage of the full moon to go out.

Kou Zhun stumbled and ran over.

"Your Majesty, something has happened..."

The thing that can make Kou Zhun lose his composure like this is naturally impossible to be a trivial matter.

Yang Qi hurried forward, helped Kou Zhun who was about to fall, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

With the support of Yang Qi, Kou Zhun stood up straight, and said in a low voice with deep pain: "We are out of food..."

Yang Qi frowned subconsciously, and said in a deep voice, "Why is there no food? Isn't the food from the southern country always being transported to the country of Yan? Thousands of big ships on the pier are transporting food day and night, how can there be no food? gone?"

Kou Zhun mourned, "No matter how much food there is, it's not enough. Last year Song and Liao fought in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and we also fought against Liao. The crops in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, It has been ruined for a long time, and the people have no crops. It can be said that the entire Yanyun sixteen prefectures, nearly 400 million people, are living on the grain of the southern country, and the grain consumed every day is a huge number."

"Where's the food in the four northwestern prefectures?"

"The four northwestern prefectures are out of food. We mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and mobilized millions of peasants. After fighting fiercely with the Liao people for several months, the four northwestern prefectures' food reserves have long since been exhausted."

Yang Qi realized the seriousness of the problem at once. He dragged Kou Zhun into the tent, and scolded, "Why didn't you report such a serious matter earlier? Only when the matter came to an end did you report it to me?
In the territory of Yan State, if people starve to death because of this, it is your fault.

At that time, I don't mind killing a group of people to be buried with the common people. "

Kou Zhun stood in front of Yang Qi dejectedly, and said with a bitter face: "The food brought from the southern country is enough for one province, enough for the people to eat until the next season when the southern country's grain is produced.

However, recently, suddenly there is not enough to eat..."

Yang Qi narrowed his eyes, and his eyes suddenly shot fiercely, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that someone is corrupt, or is someone selling food to the common people?"

Kou Zhun shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "It's that hateful Liao man..."

Yang Qi was taken aback, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with the Liao people?"

Kou Zhun said solemnly: "Last year, the Liao people suffered heavy losses in successive wars. After entering winter, the Liao Kingdom suffered another snowstorm, and many cattle and sheep froze to death. The people of the Liao Kingdom froze to death, and starved to death. Many places , because there were no officials to control, riots arose.

Many Han people who were detained in Liao State took the opportunity to sneak over and vote for us.

There are even Liao people who pretend to be Han people and sneak into the country of Yan, wanting to make a living.

In short, in just one month, more than 100 million people came from the Liao Kingdom. "

"Sigh~"

Yang Qi grinned, took a deep breath, looked at Kou Zhun with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "You are not so stupid as to think that more than 100 million people in Liao Kingdom can escape to our Yan Kingdom, right?"

Kou Zhun said helplessly: "I'm not stupid. More than one million people came from Liao to our Yan. How could the court of Liao fail to notice such a big movement."

After a pause, Kou Zhun smiled wryly and said, "I sent people to investigate carefully. Among the more than 100 million people, 80 of them were driven here by the Liao court."

"Oh!"

Yang Qi slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Transfer the damage, transfer the disaster of your own country to us, and reduce your own losses. Xiao Zhuo, a thieves and mother-in-law, really can't be inferior.

If I had known that she would do such a thing, I should have strangled him to death when I was at the border of Shunzhou. "

Yang Qi couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

In the past, when he had food in hand and was in short supply, he tried every means to get people from the Liao Kingdom.

And the Liao State would rather kill those people than give it to him.

Now he has people in his hands and is very short of food, but the Liao Kingdom is trying its best to stuff him with people.

Is this sent by God to sing against him?

Why can't it make people happy once?

Do you owe a fight?
Yang Qi had a sullen face, and said in a cold voice: "The order will go on, let the people eat meat if there is no food. We have seized so many cattle and sheep, enough for the people to eat for three months. Then pass the order to Shang Qingzi and order him to eat meat. Switch defenses with the Gubei Army.

Xiao Zhuo, that thieves mother-in-law, dares to lay hands on me, so don't think about it.

After only two years without collecting firewood, the Liao people have forgotten the horror of firewood collectors. "

Kou Zhun looked at Yang Qi helplessly, and said in a low voice, "It's still not enough..."

"Not enough?"

Yang Qi raised his voice by three degrees, "How could it not be enough? We have seized millions of cattle and sheep..."

Kou Zhun grimaced, "It's just not enough..."

Yang Qi had a dark face, and gave Kou Zhun a hard look, "Then send someone to Da Song and ask Zhao Defang to find a way to collect some food and send it to us. Anyway, Da Song still owes us [-] million, so let them Take the food as interest first."

Xiao Zhuo's thieves transferred the injury to Yang Qi, and Yang Qi could only transfer the injury to Zhao Defang.

Hearing this, Kou Zhun looked at Yang Qi resentfully, like a resentful woman, and said quietly: "The Great Song Dynasty is poorer than us...the reason why there is not enough food, except for the 100 million disaster victims from the Liao Kingdom...the Great Song Dynasty More than 100 million people came over there..."

"Pfft~"

Yang Qi almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, "Everyone thinks my place is a refugee shelter? Force people into my place to see me as a bully?"

Yang Qi went berserk on the spot, roaring out of righteous indignation.

Kou Zhun looked at Yang Qi, and said helplessly: "The refugees from the Song Dynasty, no wonder the court of the Song Dynasty... You promised the [-] soldiers of the Imperial Army who voted for us outside the Tongtai Pass to help Zhao Defang ascend to the throne. In the future, let them drag their families over.

Now, they dragged their families over here, and took in some refugees along the way.

When we arrived in Yan Kingdom, the number of people exceeded 100 million..."

The angry look on Yang Qi's face froze, he didn't know what to say.

This is indeed Yang Qi's own fault, there is no way to blame others.

In the past, he could still play tricks.

Now that he has become a king, a single word of no joke will block all his escape routes.

In a Yanyun battle, the three parties confronted each other, consumed food and grass, and killed countless soldiers.

In the end, the rich and big country was also forced to live a poor life.

Everyone is too poor to eat.

This shows how terrifying a war involving millions of people is.
