The Demon Concubine

Chapter 117

Views:

Seeing Concubine Ai scrubbing away the "dragon and swallow" from his painting, His Majesty the Emperor was deeply shocked and decided to find a painter to learn how to paint, and she must ask Concubine Ai to look at him with admiration. However, without waiting for him to call in a painter, he found that he had no time to learn to paint.

Government affairs are becoming more and more varied day by day. Since he took office, he has spared no expense in reducing taxes, promoting waterwheels, encouraging land reclamation, etc., he has also cleaned up a wave of corrupt officials and ordered people to review previous years of unjust, false and wrong cases... just because of things. There are so many people in his hands, so there are always not enough people in his hands. People often come to him to cry for lack of people in the six books, but the emperor can't give birth, so where to get so many talents

Because of the many and complicated things, he always secretly got up in the middle of the night to press his legs for his concubine. His Majesty the Emperor was so young at a young age, but when he saw the results presented by the people below, he still felt quite relieved. The only thing that made him feel dissatisfied recently was the battle between Chen Guo and Wu Guo, and many victims of Wu Guo's fleeing flocked to the vicinity of Qi State.

The life of the people of Qi State gradually got better. Seeing the victims from Wu State and seeing them in ragged clothes and desolate appearance, they felt a little sympathetic. Even if the guards of the city did not allow the victims to come in, there were people who sent food outside the city from time to time, and the wealthy households in the city served porridge outside the city.

When His Majesty the Emperor saw these news, he was a little unhappy. In order to govern the country well and to allow the people to live a good life, he felt that he had already made a fortune. Recently, he even took out the last little money for the disaster in Pingzhou and Yuzhou. Now his little There were only fifty thousand taels of silver left in the vault, which was reserved for the concubine and the child just in case.

He worked so hard. As a result, these people are not wealthy by themselves, so they still go to help the Wu people? Whenever they thought that they might have part of themselves in the money and food they were supporting the Wu people, His Majesty felt panicked in his heart, as if someone had stolen money from his small vault.

After Feng Yuan knew his thoughts, he proposed: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing!"

His Majesty the Emperor looked at him faintly.

Feng Yuan stroked his beard and smiled and said, "The Emperor Wu is incompetent and has long been separated from the people. Otherwise, Baizhou and the others will not abandon their nationality and come to work. Those Wu people who have fled their homes would rather leave their homes to come to Daqi than they would. Going to other cities in the country of Wu to seek refuge shows that your majesty’s reputation for diligence and benevolence has spread to the country of Wu. In the eyes of the people of the country of Wu, you are far more worthy of entrustment than their monarch."

His Majesty the Emperor twisted his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean, sir?"

Feng Yuan arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty, our country is vast and sparsely populated. There are large tracts of land in the south and the north. Since there are people from the country of Wu who have fled, it is better to bring them into the country, assign them to households, allocate land, and make them clear the land. Farming the land, turning them into the citizens of our Qi country."

His Majesty was taken aback for a while. He has been so diligent all these days, just wanting to make the country stronger and let his people live a good life, but this "subject" is only limited to his Qi people. In his eyes, Wu people are not Not within this range, but now listening to Mr. Yixin say this, he feels suddenly realized.

The land of Qi is half the size of Wu, but the number of people is about the same as that of Wu, and even worse than that of Chen. When there are few people, the probability of producing talents is low, and the army's conscription is even less comparable to Chen Guo. That's why he issued a decree to encourage widows to remarry and encourage the people to have more children. However, Chen Guo's ambition is clear, and it will take him to wait for the people to have children and grow up. It is not known how long it will take for the people to have children. A large amount of labor

It really deserves to be Mr. Yixin, which turned that group of burdens into usable people!

After discussing with Feng Yuan, His Majesty the emperor finalized the charter for accommodating victims of the Wu Kingdom.

In the south of Qi State, Linchuan City.

Linchuan City is the closest city in Qi State to Wu State. It is not prosperous, but compared to other places of bitter cold, it is already considered rich.

At this time, on the wasteland outside the city, some people have built sheds with thatch and picked wood. Although they are extremely simple, they can shelter from the wind and rain a little, and become shelters for these refugees.

"Father, will there be great kind people coming to give porridge today?"

A shabby-clothed six or seven-year-old boy was standing in one of the sheds, looking up at his father.

His father was a tall and strong man, but he had been hungry for many days, and his face also appeared haggard at this time. He looked down at his son, and before he had time to respond, he heard waves of uncontrollable coughs coming from the shed.

The man hurriedly stepped forward and saw his wife lying on a pile of hay, her face pale, and her shabby coarse cloth was wrapped around her, as if hanging on a thin branch.

The man hurriedly found a pottery bowl, avoided the breach, and fed her a few sips of water. "My son, mother, bear with me, and I will find something to eat."

The woman's brows were tightly twisted because of pain, and the corners of her eyes were already full of traces of wind and frost. She trembled: "My child, father, leave me alone, my disease... can't be cured."

Their family, like the people in the sheds next to them, had fled from Wu State. Those Chen Guobing were so fierce that they were burned and looted when they entered the city. After hearing that Chen Guobing had entered the city, they immediately packed up their things and fled. Their hometown is not far away from Qi, and there is a war in the country. They heard that a good emperor in Qi has reduced taxes to the people, so they followed other people and came to Qi.

Although the soldiers who defended the city of Qi State did not allow them to enter the city, most of the local people were kind-hearted, and some gave them food. Good people came out of the city to give porridge every two days. Although their life was not easy, they were lucky. Did not starve to death.

It's just... She can't go on any longer. She lacks clothes and food and has no money to buy medicine. If she continues to live, it is a drag on both of them.

The child on the side heard the parents' conversation and started to cry.

The man hugged the mother-in-law, patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "My child, don't be afraid, I will find medicinal materials. I will let you and your child live a good life." When he said this, the man's eyes When the fierce light flashed, it was really impossible, so he fell into the grass and went to kill and snatch, there is always a way to feed his wife and children.

The next moment, there was a sudden movement of horseshoes running outside, and there were many people's exclamations.

The man put down the mother-in-law and let the child guard his mother, while he grabbed a wooden stick and walked out of the shelter.

However, I saw a group of Qi State soldiers and horses running out of the city, holding a scroll in their hands and shouting: "The refugees from the country of Wu listen..."

Seeing these soldiers riding high-headed horses and holding sharp weapons in their hands, they were a little frightened, but they did not dare to stay in the shed, and walked out one after another with anxiety.

The man is among them. He thought: What do these Qi people want to do? Is it to expel them from the territory of Qi? Once back in the territory of Wu, what awaits them is the brutal Chen Guobing. What should I do then? How can he protect his wife and children from the chaos

At this time, there are many Wu people with such thoughts. Most of them flee with their families, and no one wants their family members to have trouble. Although Qi State is not home, their Chen Guobing dare not step into the border of Qi State. They can save their lives anyway. If they are really expelled, what should they do

However, the next moment, the news announced by the soldiers of Qi State surprised them.

"I am benevolent, I can't bear to see you and others suffer from the displacement... From now on, as long as you are willing to abandon Wu nationality and become our Qi nationality, you are the citizens of our Qi country. Men can be divided into three acres of land and women can be divided into two acres. One acre of land for the old, weak, sick, and disabled. In addition, after entering the household, those who are unable to eat, clothe, or suffer from illness can borrow at most 12 silver from the court, and they can pay off within two years..."

What did they hear? Not only was Qi Guo willing to let them enter the city, but also willing to give them land! If you really can't live anymore, you can still borrow money from the Qi court and pay it off in two years! All you need is to be a citizen!

Hearing this news, many refugees from the country of Wu can't get back to their senses in a daze. Did they hear it right? Can there be such a good thing

It's not that they don't love their homeland. It's just that compared with their lives, the feeling of homesickness is nothing. Besides, the Emperor Wu was extravagant and desperate, and their life in China was not easy. As long as the family is still around, as long as the life is good, where is not home

Soon, refugees rushed towards the gate of the city, and the man holding the wooden stick also stayed for a while, then lost the wooden stick and quickly rushed into his shed, bringing the wife and children out.

After the name was registered, the man held his wife, took the child, and looked at the land allocated to their family and the ten taels of silver. He could hardly help tears in his eyes.

There are many enthusiastic people in Qi State. They gave up a house to their family of three, and they were busy helping them build a house. With the money to buy rice and medicine, the body of the mother-in-law gets better every day. The earth can actually work in the earth.

And all of this was brought by Emperor Qi. Watching the villagers who fled with him settle down in Qi, the better the days pass, the man sincerely regards this place as his home.

Another day, a notice was posted in the village saying that Qi is about to conscript. Anyone who enlists can get half a tael of silver per month. If he dies on the battlefield in the future, the court can still help raise his wife and children. . After reading the notice, the man was silent for a long time. His mother-in-law saw it and said: "My child is his father, go if you want! My child and I will be waiting for you at home!"

There were several generals in the man’s ancestors, but they fell. He was determined to be a great general like his ancestors. He wanted to glorify the lintels. It was just that the corrupt officials of the country of Wu were rampant and corrupt officials. There was also a group of silverfish in the army, otherwise it would not. For Chen Guo to join the two cities within two days, the man has ambitions in his heart, and he is even less likely to join the army like that. But Qi is different. After coming to Qi, he can see hope every day.

In the end, the man made up his mind. On the first day he joined the army, he heard a corporal ask his name.

"Feng Yi." He said.

Feng Yi! His Majesty the Emperor abruptly woke up from his dream, panting and wiping his sweat.

Yao Yanyan was also awakened by him. She sat up with her belly in a daze and asked him what's wrong

His Majesty the emperor took a breath, "I dreamed that the general of the Chen Kingdom rushed into the country on horseback and killed all my people."

Yao Yanyan touched his face distressedly, and said curiously: "Then your Majesty still remember who the general is?"

His Majesty the Emperor said without hesitation: "Feng Yi. I have seen his name in the memorial in my previous life."
