I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 86 Veteran returns, Li Si's sense of crisis
Old and strong, it is a perfect description for Wang Ben.

Later, at the age of 56, Qi Baishi married the eldest daughter of Huanghua, and Wang Ben, who is now in his forties, fell in love with the young woman.

Feeling all the way here, Li Yu and the others took the troika and entered the north of Xianyang City before dusk.

Ying Zheng already knew that Wang Jian and his son had arrived in Xianyang, so he took Meng Yi to disguise himself and went to the north of the city to wait.

The street was crowded with people, and if it hadn't been known in advance, it would have been impossible to recognize the disguised Ying Zheng at a glance.

But it is precisely the veteran Wang Jian who has been away from Xianyang for more than ten years, and now he returns here with a lot of emotion in his heart.

His eyes were on the bricks and tiles on the street, every person and thing, and all the troubles were watched by the veteran Wang Jian.

After Yingzheng disguised himself, he and Meng Yi stood quietly on the driveway, watching Li Yu's carriage approaching, but they didn't give in at all.

"parking!"

Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Wang Jian stopped suddenly.

Immediately following Wang Jian's gaze, it didn't matter what he saw, Li Yu got off his horse and saluted in surprise.

Ying Zheng greeted grandma in person. This kind of treatment made Li Yu sore.

When Wang Jian was old, he slid off his horse and stood in front of Ying Zheng with a few strides. He bowed and cupped his hands and said, "The old minister has seen the first emperor."

In the vast crowd, Wang Jian could see and recognize Ying Zheng in disguise at a glance. It can be seen that, over the past ten years, the one Wang Jian has been thinking about the most is probably Ying Zheng himself.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to recognize Ying Zheng from a young and middle-aged man into a middle-aged man with a big belly after so many years.

Besides, what surprised Li Yu was Ying Zheng himself.

You must know that in today's world, the person who can be greeted by Ying Zheng personally, even if Meng Tian's army returns, may not be able to receive such treatment.

Since Wang Jian and his son both came forward to worship, Li Yu naturally had to stay still, let alone lose the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.

Then he went forward and cupped his hands and said, "Li Yu, my humble minister, has lived up to your majesty's entrustment, and now he brings two Marquis Wu to face the saint together."

Ying Zheng smiled happily, and lightly raised his eyebrows to indicate that Li Yu had done a good job in this trip. The presence of Wang Jian and his son already showed that the land reform must be agreed.

After not seeing each other for many years, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a trace of melancholy on his face, and asked, "I haven't seen you for many years, how are the two generals doing?"

After all, according to Yingzheng's previous psychology, it is reasonable to closely monitor Wang's father and son.

Later, I felt that it was unnecessary, so I simply forgot about it.

But even if he was dismissed from the army, relying on the money and land that Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son begged for in front of them, and the title bestowed on them, it would be enough for the rest of their lives.

However, now it seems that there is no female family member behind him, which makes Ying Zheng a little puzzled.

Wang Jian's grim old face was slightly excited, apparently he did not expect the first emperor Ying Zheng to treat him like this.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben looked at each other, and then responded in a loud voice: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I have been well in recent years."

Ying Zheng was obviously overjoyed, and asked with a flushed face, "I don't know why the family members of the two generals didn't come along?"

Wang Jian smiled lightly, rather indifferently, and said: "Everyone who should have gone has gone. The juniors have their own families, and the veterans and Dianwu missed the old days, so they stayed in their hometown and built a house. There are only three people in the house. The two servants did not come with me on this trip."

Ying Zheng was surprised when he heard the words. He didn't expect the two old ministers to live such an ordinary life, or to say poor...

"Why is this?"

Ying Zheng was puzzled, and then blurted out a question.

Without waiting for Wang Jian's answer, Li Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the two generals have already taken the lead in land reform."

Ying Zheng felt a little regretful when he heard the words.

Unexpectedly, because of the pressure of the current situation, I just let Wang Jian and his son go to the wild...

As a result, the empire's generals were cut off, and now Meng Tian was guarding the northern border alone, which gave the rioters in the south an opportunity to take advantage of.

But Wang Jian and the two actually had the courage to distribute all the land in their hands to the surrounding poor...

After some comparison, Ying Zheng felt that all this was caused by his own neglect.

Ying Zheng could only sigh, and said, "Well, after all, I have lost the two generals."

As soon as Ying Zheng said these words, the faces of Wang and his son changed in fear, and they immediately bowed and said, "I have no complaints from the veterans, but those who are afraid will never meet the first emperor."

The well-rounded welcome turned into a meeting of the emperor and his ministers, which made Li Yu who was standing aside feel extremely embarrassed.

I had no choice but to speak in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, it's not a place to talk in the street now. It just so happened that the two generals came here with a big gift, and this place is not far from where I live. Why don't you go back to the mansion and discuss it?"

Only then did everyone nod their heads, and then entered the Junhou Mansion.

And the moment Wang Jian and his son stepped into the Junhou's Mansion, they fully believed that Li Yu was really the Marquis of the Empire.

And he is deeply favored by His Majesty, otherwise he would not have replaced the Xiangguo Mansion with the Junhou Mansion.

In the opinion of Wang Jian and his son, Li Sina and other literati should not live in such a luxurious mansion.

And here...

Xiangguo Li Si was in his mansion in the west of the city, discussing matters with several officials in charge of salt, grain and land, and sneezed inexplicably.

Seeing this, Liang Yong, Zhi Su Nei Shi, immediately asked with concern: "Master Xiangguo, is he tired from the wind and cold?"

Li Si was also a little strange, and then he waved his hand and said, "This early spring, when the sun is shining brightly, I didn't realize it."

"Now His Majesty is trying his best to carry out the land reform. I am afraid that the future will be difficult for me. Mr. Xiangguo still needs to take care of his health."

Liang Yongyu said something earnestly, and Li Siwen raised his eyebrows, then waved his hands and said: "I see, my lords, it is imperative that we continue to discuss countermeasures."

Liang Yong could tell that day that His Majesty the First Emperor was performing on stage with the Immortal Lord Li Yu.

The so-called land reform and the so-called reclamation of wasteland are only the top priority and the next best choice.

Once the reclamation of the southern wasteland is completed, the target must be transferred to the nobles and nobles.

Although the civil and military officials don't get involved in the matter of pulling wool, the servants of the family also do so because of their power.

Thinking of this, Liang Yong couldn't help sighing: "Xiangguo said that although the land reform has not affected the nobles and nobles, as officials of the empire, we naturally have a lot of fertile land under our hands.

If His Majesty is serious about carrying out the land reform, we officials who live on the emperor's salary can only take the lead in pandering to it, instead of watching from the sidelines. "

Hearing this, Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly. As Li Si, who had climbed up step by step to reach the position of a supreme minister, these were minor problems.

And Li Yu is getting more and more favored by His Majesty the First Emperor, this is the big problem that makes Li Si feel a sense of crisis.

It's not terrible for a majestic prime minister of an empire to be treated as a tool for office work.

The scary thing is being treated like a machine...

A machine out of favor...
