Dajin royal family

Chapter 166
Early spring is the day when peach blossoms are in full bloom.In the courtyard of Langya County Duke's Mansion, a large expanse of pink and white peach blossoms hangs on the tree, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.The two maids, Pei'er and Yu Nu, wore light green skirts and shuttled under the peach tree, playing and playing from time to time, and the melodious laughter spread into the study.

Jiang Chengxiao seriously put three sticks of incense on his biological mother, stared at her portrait, and suddenly remembered Zheng's concern for him.As the relationship between King Zhao and him warms up day by day, King Zhao also gradually confides to him what happened back then.Xiao Ruyin did give birth to him and died, but it was not impossible to treat him at the time, but Xiao Ruyin chose to let him survive.

If she was still alive, Zheng wouldn't be the one to worry about.

Walking to the window of the outer room, looking at the two maids under the peach tree, Jiang Chengxiao said, "Tell me."

Behind him, Wu Shanhui, Nan Jiyun, and Zu Yan stood side by side.Wu Shanhui bowed and said: "Back to Master, I took people to search Zhongnan Mountain and did not find Master Miaoying, but I found the Taoist temple where he practiced. According to his little apprentice, Master Miaoying went to Liaodong County .”

"Liaodong County?" Jiang Chengxiao was slightly astonished, and then said: "Why did you go to that bitter cold place to practice?"

Wu Shanhui shook his head and said: "No, it seems that Master Miaoying needs a kind of medicinal material called Korean ginseng. According to the investigation of his subordinates, this kind of mountain ginseng is usually a precious medicinal material that Koguryo pays tribute to, so Master Miaoying will go there by himself. .”

This is troublesome. It was hard enough to find Sun Shichang at Zhongnan Mountain, but now he has gone to Liaodong County. How can he find him in that ghostly place?

Jiang Chengxiao frowned and said, "There is a specific location for him."

"No, his disciples don't know where Master Miaoying is. They only know that he went to Liaodong County to look for Korean ginseng."

Jiang Chengxiao sighed slightly, put his hands on the window, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and hesitated for a while.

Nan Jiyun turned his head and glanced at Wu Shanhui, the meaning conveyed by his eyes was very simple, why can't this matter be done well.Wu Shanhui lowered his head in shame, gave him time and a place, and finally brought back the news.

After a while, Jiang Chengxiao managed to pull himself together, anyway, this news should not be known to Qingyi for the time being, otherwise she would be secretly saddened by her temperament.Jiang Chengxiao said: "Is there any movement in the court during the days when I left Chang'an?"

Hearing this, Nan Jiyun immediately reported seriously: "Master, the vacant position of Minister of Industry was replaced by Pei Yun. This person came from the Wenxi Pei family, and is the younger brother of Pei Ju, Minister of Rites. The great victory in April was brought to Beijing Afterwards, His Majesty ordered the relocation of 50 tenants in Guanzhong to Bingzhou to open up wasteland. In addition, His Majesty ordered Wei Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to be responsible for the construction of the Grand Canal, and ordered the northern counties to recruit a total of 20 peasants."

"Relocate 50 tenants in Guanzhong?" Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help taking a breath when he first heard the news.

The most densely populated counties in Guanzhong are Jingzhao County, Fengyi County, Shang County, Beidi County, and Fufeng County in the Guanzhong Plain. Among them, Jingzhao County has the largest population, with about 160 households. Those floating households, black households, etc., Jingzhao County has nearly [-] million people.This time the emperor moved one-third of the population of Jingzhao County at once.

Is he crazy? These people are still tenants.Do you even need to think about who the tenants in Guanzhong belong to?
It took a few breaths for Jiang Chengxiao to calm himself down, and then asked: "Is it true that the northern counties recruited 20 civilian husbands?"

Nan Jiyun nodded, "It's true, I heard that His Majesty has sent someone there."

Jiang Chengxiao slowly closed his eyes, what a lunatic, he just mobilized nearly 50 troops to resist the Turks, and the people have not been relieved, and now 50 people have been forced to relocate from Guanzhong, and 20 civilians in the north have been recruited to build the Grand Canal. What do you think of the common people?The robot also has to stop to recharge and repair worn parts.

Not to mention, the snow disaster has not yet fully recovered, and now all over the country should focus on spring planting, he played like this.
"crazy."

He murmured in a low voice, he would explode sooner or later if he played like this.

The 20 peasants in the northern counties are okay, but the 50 tenants in Guanzhong, he stabbed a knife directly into the heart of some people.

"Are there any ministers in the court who object?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to persuade the emperor, but it is related to the fundamental interests of the nobles, those old foxes will not be indifferent.

Nan Jiyun replied: "Yes, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Duguzheng, the internal history order Wei Hong, the British Duke Dou Wei and nearly [-]% of the ministers have asked His Majesty to take back the order and give the people time to recuperate, but Your Majesty"

Before Nan Jiyun finished speaking, Jiang Chengxiao knew the result, it was nothing more than four words: Arbitrary.

Perhaps the emperor took advantage of this great victory over the Turks to use his power to suppress the nobles in Guanzhong and force them to bow their heads.

But the problem is, even if these people admit to being cowardly now, who can guarantee that they will admit to being cowardly in their hearts.No wonder the Guanzhong nobles didn't get the seat of Minister of Industry this time. It turned out that their home was almost stolen.

"Oh, slow down, Yu Nu, the peach blossoms just picked, madam is used to make peach blossom cakes for A Lang, we have to be more careful." Pei'er's voice came from the peach forest.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Jiyun, you have made people pay attention to the movements of the Dugu family, the Wei family, and the Dou family these few days." After giving the order, he gently raised his hand, signaling the three of them to go down.

"This subordinate understands." Nan Jiyun and the three bowed and slowly exited the study.

Jiang Chengxiao breathed out lightly, and then said to the air, "Go and tell Hongyi to send more people to deal with Goguryeo, and secretly find Sun Shichang for me in Liaodong. In addition, tell Heishisan to make preparations there, I'll be there in a few days, and I don't want to be blinded."

"Yes." A voice sounded, and then quickly disappeared.

At this time, Changsun Qingyi knocked on the door of the study with a few maids. After getting Jiang Chengxiao's consent, Changsun Qingyi entered the study alone. What's a good sentence?"

She put the food box in her hand on the table, opened it, took out two cakes of peach blossom cakes, carefully placed them on a white porcelain plate, and presented them to her husband for tasting.

"My husband, taste it and see how it tastes?"

Jiang Chengxiao reached out to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth. After eating carefully, he nodded and said: "It tastes really good, Madam, don't worry."

Eldest Sun Qingyi said: "This is not made by my concubine, it was bought by a servant in Yongningzhai. But if my husband thinks it is delicious, I can pick and store the peach blossoms in the yard this year and make it for my husband to taste. Husband, don't dislike my concubine's skills."

"As long as it's made by you, it's delicious."

Changsun Qingyi covered her mouth and smiled lightly, feeling sweet in her heart.Seeing the faint sadness between her husband's brows, she couldn't help asking: "Is your husband worried?"

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, and told Changsun Qingyi after hiding the news of Nan Jiyun's report just now.After listening, Eldest Sun Qingyi thought for a while, and then explained: "It's a good thing for my husband to worry about the people, but since your majesty has already decided on this matter, it's better for you not to disobey, after all, even my father didn't persuade your majesty back."

"Father advised His Majesty?"

The elder Sun Qingyi nodded and said: "It was probably the day when the victory in April was reported back to Chang'an. I heard that my father had entered the palace to persuade His Majesty to suspend the relocation of the people, but His Majesty didn't seem to accept it."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao squinted his eyes.

"Qingyi, do you think His Majesty is doing the right thing?"

Changsun Qingyi thought for a while and said: "Since my husband wants to talk about it, let me talk about my shallow opinions. In fact, it is a good thing to move to Bingzhou and distribute land to tenants, but most of these tenants are Although this is beneficial to the tenants, it may be opposed by some people."

"Husband, this matter is related to the government, I shouldn't say too much, but I think it's better for my husband not to interfere in this matter." Changsun Qingyi persuaded.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not an important minister in the court, and it's not my turn to persuade Your Majesty about such things."

It's not his business to persuade him.Even King Zhao can't persuade him. Then he can only let someone go wild. I hope he won't be too rough, otherwise the waves will probably knock him over.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her husband say that. Fortunately, her husband is a smart person who knows how to advance and retreat.
