I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 333: Everything will be successful if it is forewarned, otherwise it will be ruined.
  Tanzhou, Yandi.

If the entire Yan region has been prospering from beginning to end, then Tanzhou is right.

At present, people in many prefectures and cities across Yanzhou are thinking about whether to go to Jizhou. People in Tanzhou have already started winter plowing in preparation for planting crops in the coming spring.

Du Yu, who is not driving in Tanzhou, picked up a hammer and ran to the fields early this morning to help his father clean up the few acres of land passed down by the Du family.

Du Yu's father had been farming all his life and was willing to give up everything. In order for his children to study, the old man sold everything he could in the house. He himself could not even bear to eat brown rice and vegetables, but his children ate well and drank well! In order for his children to study, he even sold the big house passed down by his ancestors. In order to ensure that his daughter's dowry would not be left behind, he even sold the house where he lived. But he himself was in I built a wooden shed on my own few acres of land to live in.

Even if Du Yu and the old man's daughter knew about this and wanted to take the old father to the city, the old man would not go and would just guard these acres of land.

In his own words, "Where you live is not important. If you have land to eat, you can survive. If the land is gone, you will lose everything." ’

People in the same village laughed at the old man because he didn't know how to enjoy blessings. He had suffered a lifetime of hardships and was taught by a distinguished gentleman, a female gentleman who taught in the city. However, he ended up working in the fields instead of enjoying blessings.

When the old man heard this, he casually said, 'That's their own life, it has nothing to do with me. And without these acres of land, they wouldn't be where they are now. I'm just a farmer, and I only have food through farming. ’

Although now Du Yu has become the Tanzhou Biejia and controls the territory of this continent, the old man does not go to enjoy the blessings and still lives on the edge of his own few acres of land. It is just that Du Yu forcibly found someone to help him. My father built a few houses, which were better than living in shacks.

Moreover, the old man did not find anyone to farm the land, he just farmed it himself, and he did not find his son-in-law, daughter, or son to come over.

On Du Yu's side, although he really couldn't move away to help his father many times, as long as he had time, especially during the days of winter plowing, spring planting, and autumn harvest, he would definitely find time to come and help.

But Du Yu had a bad reputation, so people who didn't understand him added the name of unfilial piety to all the names he used to criticize Du Yu behind his back! There are even officials who deliberately framed them and wrote books to prevent them.

But in the end, it all came to nothing.

But after so many things, many people don't understand and are too lazy to understand, so they simply regard Du Yu as unfilial. No matter how knowledgeable people explain it, they just ignore it, just like scolding an official. Like two pieces of silver, I felt so happy after scolding him!
  Next, I don’t know where it came from. Mr. Du Yudu looks like a sharp-mouthed monkey and doesn’t look like a good person. He also looks exactly like the corrupt officials in those story books. Therefore, the more rumors spread, the more powerful he is and his reputation is getting more and more. Smelly.

Regarding these, Du Yu said nothing to others, and never punished those who scolded them.

Although Du Yu was forced to study by his father since he was a child, he still did farm work efficiently. He was a farmer's son after all.

So in the field, Du Yu was wearing an ordinary linen jacket, with his trouser legs rolled up, and he was loosening the soil with a hammer. He looked like an old farmer, but he lacked the temperament of turning his back to the sky and facing the ground.

Du Yu's father was an ordinary-looking farmer, with a skinny body and dark, rough skin. He was holding a hammer in hand, looking down at the frozen crop field, with a happy expression on his face.

There's been a lot of snow this year, and if we dig out the land, we'll be able to grow good crops.

A few more snows would be great, but I just hope it doesn't get too much.

Thinking of this, Mr. Du squinted at his son's posture, and then looked at the ground Du Yu had turned over. The old man shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

But at this time, at Dikentou, several people from the same village also went down to the ground. When they saw Du Yu working hard in the field, they all looked at the old man and said politely: "Uncle Du, how can we preemptively Brother, you can do it yourself."

The people in the village grew up with Du Yu, and the person he spoke to was someone who played with Du Yu naked, so he spoke with respect, but the title remained the same. In fact, this is what Mr. Du asked for, as a human being. Don’t be ungrateful. The village is so big. Every family from childhood to age helps each other out. Many people in the village have also contributed to their family’s affairs. They have become officials and have a high status, but there are some things that we cannot forget. .

When Mr. Du heard this, he shook his head and said: "Whoever does the job has to do it if he can't do it! You can't stop him! I'll take a rest and clean up the things he didn't do well later."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed, and then said: "You just have a rest, I'm young here, go and help Brother Yu when you're done."

Mr. Du waved his hand: "No, you are busy with your business."

Seeing what the old man said, the middle-aged people didn't say much. This old man is notoriously stubborn in the whole village!
  But the middle-aged man looked at Du Yu working in the distance, pursed his lips, looked at the old man, and hesitated to speak.

But in the end he turned around and went about his own business.

After walking a few steps, his wife couldn't help but said, "Why don't you ask if it's true that he received more than [-] taels from others? And what is it said that Du Yu has other things besides these?" There is money, and they are still recruiting soldiers, etc. People outside say that Du Yu is using various names to make money again!
  The middle-aged man listened and told his wife to shut up, and even scolded her.

When Mr. Du heard these words, he didn't think much of it. It didn't matter if he heard this kind of words too many times.

Moreover, some people in the village were scolding his son behind his back, and he knew it.

But what to do with him!
  He broke the pot and sold iron, forcing his two children to study and grow up. He left this place and no longer had this food. This was enough.

Now that both of them have left, as for the rest, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't understand it, so he won't get involved. Whether he is a good official or a corrupt official, and if he doesn't harm the people who farm the land, then he will never say a word to his son. .

After resting enough, the old man picked up the hammer and walked towards Du Yu. Looking at the ground that Du Yu had turned up, the old man didn't say anything and started working directly.

After Du Yu noticed his father's behavior and smiled helplessly, he didn't say much, returned to where he started, and turned the ground again.

Mr. Du caught a glimpse of it, his eyes were still disgusted, but he still said nothing.

But at this time.
  There was the sound of horse hooves.

Mr. Du squinted and looked over. He was an acquaintance, his son's subordinate, who often came here.

But the old man just looked at the visitor and continued working. He had to finish this acre of land before dark today.

When Du Yu saw the old man, he bowed to his father and said, "Dad, I'll go take care of it first."

Mr. Du didn't look up, but nodded.

Du Yu came to the side of the farm, picked up the kettle and poured a bowl of water, and looked at the young general who came to him.

"grown ups!"

The general looked to be less than thirty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. After turning over and dismounting, he first clasped his fists towards Mr. Du, and then looked at Du Yu and clasped his fists.

Du Yu handed the water in his hand to the young general.

The young general took a sip and said: "There are more than [-] people who want to return to Jizhou. Someone is still deliberately confusing them. It is found that they are people from Yanzhou City. It should be arranged by His Royal Highness."

Hearing this, Du Yu smiled helplessly: "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. If you can't stop it, if you really want to leave, there's no need to confuse it. If you want to stay, no matter how you confuse it, it's useless. Just let them go. In the past few days, Of the money you get, take some silver and give it to those who are leaving. As for the land and houses that will be vacated after they leave, ask the people in charge to erase their names and give it to others. Dig it quickly, don't delay the spring planting. As for the money, it is still labeled with the name of the imperial court, saying that it was taken from the Tanzhou warehouse."

Before the young general could speak, Du Yu looked at the young general and said, "How are the other things going?"

The young general immediately said: "As you thought over there in Zhuozhou, Mr. Meng tried his best to encourage the people, and even proposed ways to solve the dilemma. After learning from the Yamen of the Prefecture over there, there are almost ten people there now. More than [-] people have signed up, and more than [-] people have gone to Jizhou. In other states, many people are also bewitched by people from Yanzhou's past. The specific number is not yet known, but the spies have sent back news that others All the states were happy to leave when they heard that if they went to Jizhou, they could live directly in Jizhou City and get farmland and even silver for free. I think there should be tens of thousands of people in all states."

Du Yu frowned: "Where is Jizhou? Did Meng Biejia do something?"

The young general shook his head: "I went to inquire, but nothing was done. But I heard from the Zhuozhou Yamen that Mr. Meng is just asking his subordinates to go over and settle down for a while. The specific arrangements will be made after everyone is settled. Then go to Jizhou to settle the people. There are not many people going there now. If we start to settle down, there will be chaos. When the time comes, the resettlement will be unified. It will be logical and there will be no chaos."

Du Yu's brows furrowed even more tightly: "Everything will be done if you are prepared, and if you are not prepared, it will be ruined. How can such a great talent not understand this? A lot of people talk about what they eat and do in advance. What, and if those who go now don’t settle down well, those who go later will be even more chaotic! When there are more people, it will be even more difficult to settle in! And if we don’t arrange to open up wasteland quickly and plow in winter, wait for two or three months to start farming, the land It’s deserted, ruined, and the harvest is not good, what will so many people eat!”

But when he said this, Du Yu frowned: "That's not right. His Highness didn't say anything? Even if His Highness was young and didn't see this, the palace staff should not be able to see it either. Such a simple principle of doing things is impossible. No one said anything."

The young general shook his head: "I haven't heard of these things, but it is said that His Highness is very supportive, especially knowing that Master Meng encouraged so many people to go to Jizhou, and His Highness even went to Zhuozhou in person to praise Master Meng. Come to think of it, His Highness said Well, others won’t dare to raise different opinions.”

Hearing this, Du Yu clenched his fists with an anxious look on his face!
  But after finishing speaking, the young general said: "I also learned that the garrison in Jizhou was withdrawn by His Highness to the Yongshan Camp. He said that there is no war now, and they stayed there to snatch food from the people. The people are the most important thing at the moment."

When Du Yu heard this, his expression was horrified: "Confused! How could we allow the garrison to withdraw! This is what the Eighth Prince did before, and then the Mobei barbarians had an opportunity! How could His Highness do this! His Highness gave the order in the first place No matter what, you are not allowed to withdraw the troops without permission!"

Saying this, Du Yu looked anxious, and then immediately ordered: "After you return, immediately ask Zhongshan to write a letter to Prince Yan's Mansion in my name. The troops cannot be withdrawn! There is not enough food. We, the state capitals, can use it. How can we withdraw our troops! Didn't what happened before make people alarmed?" After saying that, Du Yu frowned again: "I have to send it to the prince in the capital. No, it's too late, and besides..."

When he said this, Du Yu looked confused, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked at the general: "Weishan, go to Jizhou in person, secretly, and find out what is going on there!"

The general named Wei Shan nodded immediately: "Yes!"

Du Yu looked at Wei Shan and said: "After you go, take a look at the situation of the people, and then look around to see if there is anything wrong. Ever since His Highness ordered this thing to be done that night, I have felt that this matter He was too anxious, and now His Highness is still so anxious, especially the behavior of this great talent Meng, which is really stupid. However, His Highness did not say anything and instead praised him. It was as if he was anxious to transfer people to Jizhou. Although this is a good thing, after all, Jizhou will recover quickly, but it is wrong, I always feel that something is wrong."

Weishan nodded after listening to Du Yu's words: "It feels like His Highness rushed someone in a hurry."

But after saying that, Wei Shan looked at Du Yu: "But sir, where is the prince?"

Du Yu shook his head: "No, for His Highness to do such a big thing, the people in the palace must have reported it to the prince, and I don't know why. Every time I mention the prince, I feel very uneasy, especially..."

Speaking of this, Du Yu looked at Wei Shan: "You should especially not forget what the Mobei general we killed when we rescued Jizhou said."

When Wei Shan heard this, he immediately thought about it.

At that time, they made a surprise attack and caught the opponent by surprise.

When the general saw them, he even said, 'You lied to us! Why are there Han officers and soldiers here? Wasn't it agreed upon? ’

Du Yu and the others didn't think anything of these words at the time, but after several surprise attacks in succession, several Mobei generals said similar words, which made Du Yu confused. However, the situation at that time did not allow him to think too much, so there was no need for him to think too much about it. There are others.

but.
  Thinking about it carefully later, Du Yu felt that what happened before was very strange. After all, Yan's land had not been broken open for a hundred years, but suddenly the gate was broken open. Evacuate for various reasons.

Du Yu couldn't help but think about it, but even if he thought about it, he couldn't find anything after all, so he just threw it away. It was peaceful after all!
  but now
  Also evacuate! !

This made Du Yu a little suspicious again.

The next moment, Du Yu looked at Wei Shan: "Is there still no news in Beijing?"

Wei Shan shook his head: "If there is one, it should still be on the way. It will take at least a month at the earliest."

Du Yu nodded, a series of things made him a little uneasy, but looking at Wei Shan, Du Yu continued: "We need to work harder on recruiting troops, and we must keep up with the training of troops. The Queen Mother of Mobei is very ambitious. Now they are launching an attack on Uighur, maybe they are doing this to eliminate their worries behind them. Most of the money they collected these days can be used for the army! Then you tell Liu Chunfang that he has to serve as an envoy, and I will Recommend him.”

Hearing the last words, Wei Shan frowned: "Sir, if you collect that money, you may be impeached again, and the people know that you are afraid..."

Du Yu shook his head: "I can't care about that much anymore. It's okay if I don't think about it. But the more I think about it, the more I feel that something big is about to happen. To prevent nothing from happening, soldiers and horses are the most important. Now there are [-] people in Tanzhou. You work hard to expand it to [-] before spring, there is nothing more important than guarding the people's fields."

Wei Shan frowned again, but looked at Du Yu and clenched his fists. Tanzhou looked rich, but all that wealth was bribe money received from Master Du Yu's reputation!

In Yanyun, the states are all self-sufficient. Even if the imperial court allocates money, it will be used by the prince to support the army! Very little money is given to the states to actually spend on the people!
  As for what I said before, the Mobei barbarians did not invade their Tanzhou before.

That's because when he was approaching Tanzhou, Master Du Yudu personally led people to stop him and then counterattacked!
  Otherwise, there would be such a peaceful scene in Tanzhou now! ?

The more prosperous Tanzhou becomes, the more jealous other states become, and they keep talking crazy words!

As for the Eighth Prince, he just saw the reason behind this and never said anything to Master Du. After all, they send a lot of food every year! Moreover, the prince should also know that without Mr. Du, Tanzhou would not be the current Tanzhou.
  There are various other things, so even though there are so many rumors, the Eighth Prince never touches Master Du.

but! !
  Wei Shan frowned and looked at Du Yu.

Du Yu frowned and did not look at Wei Shan. Instead, he was thinking about the matter. However, after thinking about it, he still knew too little, so he looked at Wei Shan and said, "Go back immediately and do what I told you." After that, go to Jizhou and have a look. If there is nothing unusual in Jizhou, send someone to tell me immediately. Then you leave for Zhuozhou and tell him what I just said. The people cannot be tolerated, big or small, and they are not resettled now. It will be even more chaotic later, and if it causes chaos, the gain outweighs the loss."

Weishan immediately clasped his fists, got on his horse and left without writing anything.

Du Yu looked at Wei Shan's back.

In order to save food, it actually makes sense to send some of the military rations that should have been sent to the disaster-stricken people in Jizhou.

but.
  Why are you in such a hurry to send people there, and even secretly send people over to trick people into passing it on?

Thinking of this, Du Yu sighed.

Du Yu was far away in Tanzhou, so he only heard about the affairs of the court and didn't know much about them.

But here in Yanyun
  Chaos.

Ever since the Mobei barbarians invaded, everything has become very strange.

And that invasion, now that I think about it carefully, is also full of doubts.

While thinking this, Du Yu raised the hammer in his hand and continued to dig up the ground.

Mr. Du looked at Du Yu working worriedly and said, "If the things in your heart are not settled properly, you will cause trouble for me if you mess around with me. It's better to go home and think about it."

Hearing this, Du Yu looked at his old father walking towards him: "Dad, I don't want to think about it anymore, let's work first."

There's a lot going on and it's very messy.

But after all, thinking without a clue now is really over the top.

So Du Yu didn't think too much about it for now.

But Mr. Du lowered his head and turned over the ground very forcefully and skillfully: "Think about things slowly and smooth them out slowly, just like turning over the ground. I don't understand your big things, but you can stand up with the bad things." I can’t stand it in my land, so go home.”

Du Yu smiled wryly.

But Mr. Du continued: "There are steamed buns and pickled vegetables that I gave you and Qingshui in the house. I will send them to you when you go back."

Du Yu smiled bitterly again, but looking at his old father working, he couldn't bear it, but he knew he couldn't persuade him, so he bowed deeply: "Yes."

Then he turned around and walked towards the house.

But after walking a few steps, Du Yu turned back and looked at his father's back.

What exactly happened.

Du Yu didn't know, but he watched his father plowing the land, and then looked at the people around him plowing in winter.

He Du Yu is a self-aware person. He can't say what he wants to do for the sake of the people of the world. In fact, he has tried his best to be the governor of a state. He knows that this is the extent of his ability.

People, the most valuable thing is self-knowledge.

But people who know themselves sometimes want to do bigger things.

Du Yu clenched his fists as he watched the villagers working in front of him.

I hope it's just an ordinary mistake, and Yan Di can't stand the trouble anymore.
