Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 1060 Prosperity of Xizhou
After returning home, Liu Yunxiang started researching and didn't even bother to eat dinner.

When Yan Mu came in, he saw Liu Yunxiang writing something quickly on a pamphlet while looking at the urban distribution map of Hukou City.I wrote a paragraph, thought about it for a moment, and then added a few more sentences.

He walked up to him, but she didn't even hear him.He coughed, but she didn't hear it. He reached out to pull the map, but she slapped it hard.

"Go away, don't bother me."

Yan Mu slapped a bowl of fish porridge on the table and hummed: "I have been waiting for you to eat in the hall. I urged you three times, but the food was cold and you didn't even go there. I lost my appetite and only ate half a bowl of rice. .”

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang chuckled.

“If you don’t have an appetite, eat less to avoid accumulating food.”

"you do not care about me!"

Liu Yunxiang drew another line on the map, felt satisfied, and then raised his head.First he saw the steaming bowl of fish porridge on the table, and then he saw that Yan Mu was still angry.

She leaned over and kissed him, "Husband, I feel so sorry for you. Why have you only eaten half a bowl of rice? Do you want me to eat more with you?"

As she said that, she reached out to hold Yan Mu's face, kissing him on the left side and kissing on the right side.

"Tsk, tsk, you look pretty cute when you're angry."

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "Cute?"

"Yes, this little face is bulging and plump... ah!"

Before Liu Yunxiang could finish her words, Yan Mu threw her on the bed and made a fuss that made her pant, blush, mess up her clothes, and finally fell into Yan Mu's arms.

"Is it still cute?" Yan Mu asked, pinching Liu Yunxiang's blushing face.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly flattered him: "My husband is so powerful and not cute at all!"

Only then was Yan Mu satisfied, he picked her up a little more and fed her a bowl of porridge.

After Liu Yunxiang finished his porridge, he wiped his mouth and quickly brought the map to show to Yan Mu.

"Nuo, I plan to build Hukou City into a trade center city with mutual trade between east, west, north and south. The city is divided into several major trading markets. The east city is a silk and satin trading market, the west city is a jade trading market, the north city is a medicinal materials trading market, and the south city is a trading market for other groceries. The center builds a place for residence, food, entertainment, etc. for businessmen to rest. To this end, it can also be extended to the other four cities, including jade processing, medicinal herb cultivation, cattle and sheep supply and other industries, to drive the development of the other four cities. Of course, this requires The court’s strong support includes tax reductions, policy support, and the opening of four official roads to the east, west, south, and north.”

Liu Yunxiang explained to Yan Mu one by one why the trade center was placed in Hukou City and which market should be built in which city.

"I have traveled all over Hukou City in the past few days. Firstly, I saw that the people live in poverty. Secondly, I also saw the natural geographical advantages of Hukou City, and the laid-off soldiers will also be the source of labor."

Yan Mu saw that the map had been divided into areas by Liu Yunxiang's pen. The booklet clearly stated how to build these markets, what risks should be avoided, and how to operate them after they are completed.

He tilted his head and kissed Liu Yunxiang, "I'm afraid this won't be able to reach a large scale in less than ten years."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "In these ten years, the lives of the people in Xizhou will improve day by day. This is a good foundation."

"And in the past ten years, Xizhou cannot give the imperial court a single share of tax, and it still needs subsidies from the imperial court."

"There is no need for government subsidies, as long as there is policy support, I will provide the money."

Yan Mu was silent for a moment, "Building Xizhou will cost a huge amount of money, and you will most likely be dragged down."

"Don't be afraid. If I fail, I will still be the queen mother, but I will be poorer. But if I succeed, then my great prosperity will be stable and prosperous, and will benefit future generations."

Yan Mu put the map on the table, then picked up the brush and wrote one word on it: Yes.

Liu Yunxiang happily hugged Yan Mu's neck, "If you say yes, it will definitely happen!"

At night, the two lingered for a while, and just as they were about to fall asleep, Feng Zheng knocked on the door again.

"Your Majesty, there is a small-scale riot in Panlong City. We have to lead troops to get there overnight." Yan Mu sighed deeply, then stood up and put on his clothes.

Liu Yunxiang also wanted to get up, but was suppressed by Yan Mu.

"Since the disarmament order was issued and the disarmament list was announced, chaos has occurred one after another in various places. This is also expected, but there is no need to worry too much. I will go to Panlong City to have a look, and I will be back in five or six days."

"Don't be careless, be careful." Liu Yunxiang said worriedly.

Yan Mu nodded, "Just stay in Hukou City and help me pick up someone."

"Who?"

Yan Mu smiled, "You will know then."

Getting up early the next day, Liu Yunxiang continued to study the construction of Hukou City. He had a preliminary idea for this matter, but he had to think carefully about how to implement it and where to start.

During breakfast, Liu Yunxiang learned that Hongxuan had also followed Yan Mu to Panlong City.

"Isn't this a riot? What are you doing with Taoist Master Hongxuan?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"It seems that there was not only a riot, but also something strange happened." Zi Jin replied.

"Strange thing?"

"Well, after the autumn sowing in Panlong City, not a drop of rain fell, and the seeds planted were so dry that they could not germinate. This is not surprising in the case of dry weather. It is strange that there have been frequent thunders in Panlong City in the past few days. I thought It was going to rain, but the thunder stopped but it was sunny again.”

"If there's a drought, it's going to be serious."

There is little land in Xizhou that can grow crops, and the food grown cannot feed the people of Xizhou. If there is another drought, it will be almost a disaster.I just asked Taoist Master Hongxuan to go, why not ask him to do something to pray for rain?

After breakfast, Liu Yunxiang and Zijin rode out of the city. After waiting at the city gate for a short time, they saw a group of carriages and horses coming.

The person who came should be the person Yan Mu asked her to wait for, but when she asked who it was last night, he didn't tell her and looked mysterious.

When the carriage and horses approached, he saw the person riding in the front, wearing a sapphire blue robe, with the grace of a orchid jade tree. As the person got closer and closer, Liu Yunxiang went from doubtful to unsure, and then to surprise.

"Yunheng!"

Liu Yunxiang ran forward excitedly, and Liu Yunheng also dismounted, strode forward, and hugged his sister.

"sister!"

Liu Yunxiang hugged her younger brother and her eyes turned red. Only at this moment did she dare to believe that the person in front of her was really her younger brother.The two siblings have not seen each other for several years, and the younger brother has grown a beard.

"Why did you come to Xizhou? Where is dad? Where are your wife and children?"

After Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, he saw Han Sifu getting out of the carriage with a little girl with two buns on her hair.

"My wife, please give my regards to the Queen Mother." She knelt down. The little girl next to her looked confused, but she also knelt down obediently.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Sifu up, "This is outside, not in the palace. There are not so many rules. Don't call me Queen Mother. Just call me sister like Yunheng."

Han Sifu nodded with a smile and asked the little girl next to her to call her aunt.

Liu Yunxiang was about to hug the little girl, but he saw another carriage behind him. A charming and brightly dressed woman got out of the carriage, and the nanny behind her was holding a child.

"This is?"
