This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 832 Volume Losing to Li Er is not unfair...

Yang Lin was not surprised by the choices made by the surrendered soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

How could he fail to recognize the situation when he has been in the army for so many years and is still safe and sound?
Those who couldn't understand the situation have died long ago.

As a small person, naturally, we also have our own means of survival.

At this moment, he was listening to his subordinates arguing there.

"If I were to say, since these guys from the Tang Dynasty, whether they are willing to work in Jiaohe County or not, should be brought to the construction site, damn, the people of the Ming Dynasty don't even eat for free, how can they be an exception?"

"Construction sites, construction sites, your construction sites are the only things on your mind!" After hearing what this person said, an official immediately stood up and said, "Don't you know that all the major workshops in Jiaohe County are short of people?

Be it Deyang City or the Six Cities of the Grassland, although they are newly-developed cities, they are developing faster and better in business than Jiaohe City!
You are really not in a hurry?"

"What is the purpose of commercial development? Isn't it also for the better development of Jiaohe County?
Now that we have the financial resources, we will naturally step up infrastructure construction, repair bridges and roads, and better serve commercial construction in the future."

Yang Lin listened to their argument but did not say anything. He knew very well that he had insufficient experience in being an official and was more proficient in business. If he spoke from the bottom of his heart, he would naturally be more willing to support the development of business.

However, he is a cautious person and knows that it is not easy for him to get to where he is today. He did not jump to conclusions, but chose to listen to everyone's opinions.

Most of his officials in Jiaohe County were the first batch of students from the Daming Academy. Although they had no experience, they had systematically learned how to be an official.

These people, regardless of how strong their backgrounds are, are indeed not very selfish.

There is nothing wrong with listening to their opinions.

"I don't think we need to rush for business development right now." Just then, another person stood up. This person was Liu Renshi, the county magistrate of Jiaohe County and the eldest son of Liu Hongji, Duke of Wei of the Tang Dynasty.

He went to Sun Moon Mountain with Chang Sun Chong and the others a few years ago, but this guy was just like his original historical trajectory, always tepid.

Over the years, he has remained low-profile in the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Yiai and his gang are already famous, but he is still like a transparent person in the Ming Dynasty.

But this is also relative.

After all, Fang Yiai and those guys are really dazzling.

Compared with their dazzling achievements, ordinary people will only be forgotten by the crowd.

In fact, there were quite a few people like Liu Renshi in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing him speak, Yang Lin immediately made a decision and said with a smile: "This official also thinks so. In this case, let's slow down the development of business and focus on the infrastructure construction of Jiaohe County.

This is also to pave the way for business development, so there is no contradiction.”

Since Liu Renshi said so, Yang Lin naturally would not object.

Although Liu Renshi is not well-known, don't forget that he and guys like Chang Sun Chong and Fang Yiai are actually in the same camp.

Unless it is necessary, Yang Lin will not make enemies with them.

Moreover, he is well aware of his shortcomings in politics, but as a shrewd businessman, he understands his strengths.

Now that the county magistrate and the county chancellor had said so, naturally no one objected anymore.

"Oh, by the way, County Magistrate." Someone suddenly said, "I received news that Her Royal Highness the Princess has already set off to Jiaohe County, but now those people in the Tang Dynasty..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Lin waved his hand to interrupt him, and then said: "I have also heard about this matter. The princess visited various places to learn about local customs and practices in order to revise the Ming Dynasty Law.

This is ultimately a good thing for our Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been established for some time, the laws and regulations have always been incomplete, which is not a good thing after all. Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has this intention and is even willing to take practical action for it, it can be regarded as a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"Of course." Seeing that Yang Lin didn't get to the point, the person who was speaking said, "But the problem is not this, but those in the Tang Dynasty..."

"I know what you mean." Yang Lin said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Don't forget, the eldest princess is not just the eldest princess of my Ming Dynasty.

No matter how brave those guys are, they dare not do anything to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

You can rest assured about this.”

What a joke! If anyone dares to do anything to Changle, no matter if it is Li Er or Li Chengqian, he will be skinned alive!
"What the county governor said is very true." Liu Renshi nodded and said, "The Ming Dynasty today is different from the past. In the early years, there may still be some evil-minded people who dared to make trouble in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, who are the guys who dare to stir up trouble in my Ming Dynasty? "

……

At the same time, on the official road only a dozen miles away from Jiaohe County, Changle's carriage was heading towards Jiaohe County.

On both sides of her carriage were the personal soldiers led by Wang Qing, protecting her.

Although Wang Qing had no reputation in the Ming Dynasty, he was also a contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

When Li Chengqian was being hunted by Lou Ning at the source of Chishui, it was Wang Qing and Fang Ping who were responsible for hiding him.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xue Rengui was brought back by Wang Qing.

For this reason alone, Wang Qing has made an invaluable contribution to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, we will reach Taohe County in another half an hour." Seeing that they were not far from Taohe County, Wang Qing whispered beside the carriage.

Along the way, Changle and his companions actually walked very slowly. After all, Changle's trip was to investigate the people's conditions, not to hurry.

Hearing Wang Qing's words, Changle lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Are there any villages along the way?"

"The common people today are not like they were before. Although there are occasional herdsmen, the vast majority of people have migrated to the nearest city. I cannot say whether there are any villages."

Hearing what Wang Qing said, Changle nodded and said, "If there is a village, we will stop."

After saying that, she lowered the curtain and continued to rest.

Nowadays, even though the carriage has undergone several improvements by Li Chengqian, its comfort level is still limited.

……

But in Taohe County, Feng Ang was dumbfounded.

Holding the imperial edict I just received, I felt unwell.

What is the commander-in-chief of the Longyou Road? Does he care?
What he cares about now is when he can return to Gaozhou!
"Sir, what does your majesty mean?"

Hearing his subordinates asking this, Feng Ang asked unhappily: "What else could it mean? Your Majesty thinks that my Feng family has been in Lingnan for too long, and he doesn't want my Feng family to stay in Lingnan any longer!

I will tell you why Your Majesty sent me to Taohe County in the first place. It turns out that this was your plan.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have delayed on this matter. I should have finished it earlier and returned home to report."

As he spoke, Feng Ang also looked frustrated.

The Feng family sitting in Gaozhou and the Feng family without Gaozhou are two completely different concepts.

After all, his Feng family has been operating in Gaozhou for hundreds of years, which is the accumulation of countless generations.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of changes in Lingnan by doing this?" His subordinates said with some dissatisfaction. "Lingnan will change?" Hearing this, Feng Ang smiled helplessly, "Not to mention that your Majesty is in charge now, even if that old man Duan Zhixuan is in charge of Nanzhao, how can Lingnan change?
After all, it was the miracle of the Ming Dynasty that changed His Majesty's mind.

When has Your Majesty ever forced our Feng family like this?

But in the current situation, what can my Feng family use to fight back? "

He is the local tyrant in Lingnan, there is nothing wrong with that, but the current situation is such that he cannot even be a local tyrant, let alone a tiger.

"Master, there seems to be a problem in Daming."

Just when Feng Ang was having a headache, another person walked in quickly and said, "According to the news just now, Yang Lin released all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Except for not allowing them to leave Jiaohe County and not allowing them to carry weapons, he did not care about anything else.

They were even allowed to work in Daming’s workshops…”

"What did you say?" Feng Ang was even more surprised than when he received the imperial edict. He immediately stood up and asked, "Are you sure the news is true?"

"It is absolutely true. Our spies have seen it with their own eyes. The camp in Taohe County where our Tang soldiers were imprisoned is not completely empty, but there are indeed not many people left.

According to the news sent back by the spies, many people have chosen to work in Ming Dynasty."

Hearing this, Feng Ang's face became even uglier.

He originally wanted to leave the Ming Dynasty alone for a while, as he thought that the presence of Tang soldiers in the Ming Dynasty would be a burden to the Ming Dynasty.

In his words, he was never the one who should be anxious.

When it comes to negotiations, you naturally have to make good use of all your advantages.

In addition, he could also learn more about the Ming Dynasty from all aspects. After all, the Ming Dynasty was too unfamiliar to him.

But at this moment, he received news from the Ming Dynasty, and was stunned.

Damn, you can still play it like this, right?
Besides being unable to believe it, I also felt a wave of regret in my heart.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have done this!

"This Yang Lin deserves to die!" Feng Ang slapped the table in front of him, the anger on his face almost becoming tangible.

But soon, he calmed down and said, "Send someone to contact Yang Lin and tell him that I am willing to discuss the issue of my Tang Dynasty soldiers with him."

"Sir," Feng Ang said, and someone immediately said hurriedly, "If we really do this, then everything we have done before will be in vain."

"It's already this time!" Feng Ang heard this and said unhappily, "Don't you see it yet? The Ming Dynasty is obviously trying to win people's hearts with this move?
Although I am not satisfied, I have to be loyal to my master. Since I have accepted this task, I must do it well. "

There was one thing he didn't say, which was that if he couldn't do it well, haha, not to mention his father, his Feng family's current status might not be maintained.

Although his subordinates were unwilling to accept the news, they could not say much.

Everyone understands the truth, but understanding and accepting are two different things...

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Feng Ang frowned and immediately shouted angrily: "Why are you still standing there?

Do what you need to do! Do you still need to wait for me to invite you?"

It was obvious that Feng Ang was somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of his subordinates at this moment.

Of course, this situation is not surprising.

If it were anyone else, he would probably not be in a good mood right now.

When everyone saw this, they all bowed and then dispersed.

After everyone left, Feng Ang's face became increasingly ugly.

He naturally understood Yang Lin's purpose in doing this, but this would put him in a difficult position.

After all, Yang Lin's purpose in doing this is nothing more than to win people's hearts. Since he has such a purpose, how could he easily reach a consensus with him?
And if the time is delayed for one more day, it will be a crisis for both of us.

You know, the one in the south would not allow the Feng family to continue staying in Lingnan, so how could he miss such an opportunity?

Thinking of this, Feng Ang suddenly stood up and muttered to himself, "Could it be that these two are setting a trap for me?"

He couldn't help thinking so.

After all, as things have developed to this point, if we really want to say who is the most hurt, it is probably only him.

With this thought in mind, Feng Ang could no longer sit still.

"Somebody come!"

Soon, someone walked in quickly.

Feng Ang did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Send someone to investigate whether the Ming Dynasty's move was Yang Lin's own idea or that prince's idea."

If it is Yang Lin’s own idea, then it’s fine.

But if this matter came from Li Chengqian, he would really have to suspect whether the father and son had any feelings towards him.

Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately retreated.

Obviously, he went to make arrangements.

After he left, Feng Ang was still not idle. He immediately lay on the table and began to write a letter to his son.

If it was true that the father and son could not tolerate his Feng family, he would have to make some arrangements in advance.

Of course, given the current circumstances, he was just making an arrangement.

If you really have any other ideas, haha, stop dreaming.

Besides, he didn't have that idea when he had such a good opportunity, let alone now.

After writing the letter to Feng Zhidai, Feng Ang thought for a while and then wrote a few more letters to several old friends with whom he had a good personal relationship.

He also wanted to find out from others what His Majesty was thinking at the moment.

After doing all this, he sat in the chair, somewhat lost in thought.
After thinking it over carefully, Feng Ang shook his head and said, "Maybe I am really old?"

The reason for such emotion was that he found that faced with such things, he actually had no will to resist.

If it were a few years ago, he wouldn't dare say what he would do, but his reaction would definitely not be so calm.

With this thought, Feng Ang was suddenly shocked?
"When did I change?" Thinking about this, Feng Ang suddenly laughed. He understood that it was not that he had changed, but that he was trying to accept it.

The reason why he tried to accept it was because after he came to Taohe County and learned about many affairs of the Ming Dynasty, he gradually began to accept it.

Especially after seeing the power of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes, he understood Li Er's purpose more and more...

"Your Majesty really has a good plan." After figuring this out, Feng Ang completely understood why Li Er had asked him to come in the first place, and he immediately looked helpless.

In terms of scheming, how many people in the world today can outsmart their Majesty?

I can only say that the loss was not unfair...
