Li Yi and Li Duan were not the only ones who came to Cangzhou. In order to strengthen the cohesion of the Holy Cult, Ruoqing, as the incarnation of the Empress Dowager, could not always exist in the portraits, but also appeared in front of the believers.
This time Ruyi and Zui Mo didn't follow, Ruyi wanted to stay in Ruyi City to take charge of the overall situation, Li Mu was still young and hadn't been weaned yet, so Zui Mo couldn't leave.
Without the master to follow, safety in extreme situations cannot be guaranteed. Even if Mr. Xu was unwilling to come to Wu Kingdom, he followed them to Cangzhou this time.
"What are you doing here?" Second Miss Liu looked at him and asked. Based on what she knew about Duan'er, it was impossible for him to think about himself.
"Duan'er said he missed you. Of course, that's just one of the reasons..." Li Yi looked at Li Duan, who hid far away after calling "Auntie", and said, "There's nothing to do in the mountains, so I'll take you with me." Let him come out to see the world, and take a look at your progress, Cangzhou hasn't been captured yet?"
Second Miss Liu said, "Take the city in three days."
"There are still three days, don't worry..." Li Yi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Duan'er just said that he was hungry, why don't you cook a bowl of noodles for him first... If it's convenient, cook it for me too One bowl, put more vegetables and more noodles... "
No matter whether Li Duan wanted to come to see Ruyi or not to eat the food she cooked, as a father, Li Yi could not refuse a child's reasonable request.
By the way, he also wanted to see with his own eyes what the current situation in Cangzhou was like.
After dinner, walking in the village with them, Yang Liuqing introduced to him: "We have successively captured the county government offices of the seven counties these days, and the officials in the county government offices have also used some means to control them. The common people can be used by us in a short period of time, and now only the state city remains... "
It has been several months since they broke up and came to Cangzhou quietly.
In addition, before this, Xu Zheng had already brought people here to develop believers. After all, their progress was not fast.
However, this is also what Li Yi deliberately did. Cangzhou is a remote and remote place to Wuguo, but Cangzhou and the land of chaos are closely adjacent. As long as Cangzhou is guarded, no matter how powerful the foreign enemy is, you can get out of the chaos. received continuous support.
This piece of land that must be contested must be firmly and thoroughly grasped in the hands, instead of simply occupying the government office, it is easy to end up like they did two years ago.
Yu Xue is still there. Walking on the road, you can see that many villagers in the village are busy building some strange buildings.
This is the Goulan that is about to be built. If the nearby people are struggling to survive, if they come here to do a job, even if it is just sweeping the floor and moving logs, they can still get two meals a day, enough to satisfy their hunger.
The one-eyed General Fan followed behind them, looked at the busy people in the distance, and said in confusion: "Your Highness, we donate porridge to help the people, why do we let them do these jobs, and what's the use of building these extra houses? Don’t they have enough food?”
Prime Minister Wang shook his head and explained: "Because we want to let the people know that their porridge and meals are all obtained through their labor, instead of relying on our charity, promoting rice favors, fighting rice hatred, people's hearts are unpredictable, The more you give, the more counterproductive it will be in the end... "
After he finished speaking, he looked at the one-eyed general, and said, "Even if you are a military general, you can't stop studying. After General Fan goes back, he needs to read more books. What the old man just said is written in the books..."
General Fan secretly thought that he really shouldn't talk too much just now, so he could only nod in agreement, even though he still had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
At this time, two men carrying wood walked past them.
One of them sighed and said, "Tell me, when will the man of destiny mentioned by the Empress Dowager come, and when will this hard life be the beginning?"
The other curled his lips and said, "Just be content with it. Moving the wood for one day will provide the family with food for several days. What kind of hard life is it?"
"Who doesn't look forward to a better life?" The man paused, and suddenly said: "Have you ever heard someone say that the person who can save the common people is actually Princess Duan Rong..."
The man froze for a moment and asked, "Where did you hear that?"
"Everyone is saying that when the empress gave birth to Princess Duanrong, a phoenix landed on the palace and hovered for three days before flying away. Others said that Princess Duanrong was able to speak when she was born. , There is a strange fragrance that floats out for ten miles, and most of the emperors can smell it. When ordinary people smell it, they will feel refreshed and happy, and all diseases will disappear... "
Someone came to meet them, heard their conversation, and said in amazement: "It's true, it's fake, it's born to speak people's words, accompanied by a strange fragrance, that's the image of a sage in the world..."
The man carrying the log shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's true or not, but I've also heard that it's a sign of an emperor. Those who had these signs in ancient times became emperors in the end!"
The passer-by said disdainfully: "You can pull it down, Princess Duanrong is a woman, can a woman be an emperor?"
The man carrying the wood looked even more disdainful, and said: "You still don't believe that you are ignorant. If you don't say far, you can say that you are close. The emperor of Jingguo is a woman, and she governs the country better than a man. My emperor of Wuguo Why can't it be a woman?"
The passer-by was startled, and asked in surprise, "Is this really the case?"
"How else can I lie to you?" The man who looked at the wood pretended to be sophisticated, and said, "One person says there is a lie, and a hundred or a thousand people say it, so can there be a lie? I have to give it to you." Say it nicely..."
Not far away, a steward looked at this side and shouted: "You two, what are you doing? Have you finished moving the wood? Do you want to eat? If you don't want to move, there are others!"
The man trembled, and immediately said: "Come on, don't move, don't touch my wood, whoever touches my wood, I'm in a hurry..."
The passerby froze for a long time, looked at a young man passing by him, and asked, "Is what he just said true?"
Li Yi nodded and said: "It's more than that. When Princess Duan Rong was born, Jing Xing came out, Qing Yun appeared, Fengming was the imperial capital, and the emperor's aura was soaring. A wandering Taoist who passed by the palace at that time said, It is the fate of the emperor, and a person with such a destiny will definitely become an emperor in the future... "
It wasn't until the passer-by walked away in a daze that General Fan touched his head and said with some surprise: "When Your Highness was born, I was on duty at the gate of the city. At that time, there were no phoenixes, and there was no fragrance. As for those Jing Xing Qingyun's is even more nonsense, who spread this rumor, dare to spread rumors about the princess, look at me if I don't pick his skin!"
Wei Liang, who had just returned not long ago, looked at him, and finally couldn't help but say, "Old Fan, why don't you lead the army and supervise those people moving logs. It's a leisurely job, and you don't need to use your brains. It's very easy." suits you… "
The one-eyed general was startled, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yang Liuqing blushed a little. Although she knew the purpose of Gou Lan's words, she was still a little embarrassed in front of so many people...
Li Yi looked at her, and comforted her: "These are nothing, there used to be a shameless guy who said he was not human, and he would turn into a dragon when he encountered a storm..."
Those who make big things, don't stick to small details, did not say that when she was born, the word "Queen" was written on the palm of her hand, which is already very restrained.
To be an emperor, one must first learn to be shameless.
She doesn't know how shameless Li Xuan is as an emperor, and even the country needs someone to help manage it...
"Don't think about it for now." He looked at Yang Liuqing and said, "When Cangzhou is captured, I will be busy for a while..."
Cangzhou state city.
The Inspector of Cangzhou sneezed, rubbed his nose, and asked, "Have you found out everything you asked to investigate?"
Down below, a small official nodded and said: "My lord, I have found out that the holy religion is nothing more than a group of self-proclaimed chivalrous people who help the people to suppress bandits and release food everywhere, saying that they want to punish and exterminate them." Evil, save the world and save the people..."
In troubled times, there are not many chivalrous men with little brains, as long as they don't rebel, the Governor of Cangzhou felt relieved and said, "I know, you can go down."
"The next officer will leave."
The little official bowed to leave, and the governor of Cangzhou couldn't help but sneezed again. He touched his nose and murmured: "I didn't catch a cold last night..."
He stood up, for some reason, there was always an ominous premonition in his heart...
The little official walked out of the door, walked to the courtyard, and when he passed by the two yamen servants, he slightly raised his hand and stretched out three fingers...
