After the third prince's book was sent back to Yejing, another wave of quarrels broke out in the court over how to settle the chaotic people of the Bai Ding Army.
Most of the courtiers felt that rebellion was a serious crime, and they must not pick it up high and put it down gently, otherwise others would follow suit in the future, wouldn't it be messed up
Emperor Anqing also thought so. But how to deal with it is another question. Now that the Bai Ding army has no leader, they are willing to surrender, but they will not easily lay down their weapons without the promise of the court. With so many people, it is impossible to kill them all. If you want to lock it up, the prison can't hold it.
A group of courtiers offered their plans one after another, and their faces turned red.
When Emperor Anqing was really impatient, Ji Anmin, the doctor of the imperial censor, stepped forward to express his thoughts.
First, the leader of the Bai Ding army cannot let go. Although the two have fled, they should be arrested. Second, most of the people who joined the Bai Ding army were instigated by traitors. To appease the hearts of the people, one cannot punish too much.
Emperor Anqing had a headache: "Then what did Aiqing say to be punished?"
"It's better to send these Bai Ding Army rioters to border guards."
Master Ji has a good reason: "Suzhou is the closest to Yanzhou, and Yanzhou has a vast territory and is guarded by heavy troops. These chaotic people dare not do anything again. In this way, they can not only kill chickens to warn monkeys, achieve the purpose of punishment, but also It is a good thing to ask these chaotic people to go to the border to reclaim wasteland."
All dynasties have had the punishment of exile, such a major crime of rebellion, just exile, the punishment is considered light. But this also happened to achieve the purpose of killing chickens to warn the monkeys, without chilling the hearts of the people in other places, showing His Majesty's kindness.
Emperor Anqing thought for a while and felt that this method was very good.
After the third prince who was far away in Suzhou received the imperial decree, his face was black. He asked Daoist Liao to come to Suzhou with him to sing such a play, just to come to Suzhou to make a fortune for himself. But now that other people have arrived, the chaotic people have already taken the initiative to submit to Shentu Xu. Even if Emperor Anqing prefers, this achievement will not fall on his head.
Glancing at Shen Tuxu coldly, the third prince flicked his sleeves: "This matter is over, General Lao Shentu will send troops to escort the chaotic people, and this hall will return to Yejing to return to life."
Shen Tuxu was a little terrified of him now. Seeing that he was about to leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and watched him leave respectfully.
…
Several families were happy and some were sad. When the third prince Yuyu returned to Beijing, Yanzhou received the imperial decree. When I heard that nearly 10,000 Bai Dingjun remnants were dispatched to Yanzhou, several generals were overjoyed.
- Ye Jing actually sent someone here.
Yanzhou is a vast area. Because Beidi was often destroyed by Beidi in the early years, there were countless casualties and many uninhabited houses. Now they are not afraid that there is no place to place these people. Everyone is gearing up, just waiting for these people to come.
An Changqing was also busy.
Xiao Zhige has been thinking about expanding Yanzhou City these days. Since he took over Yanzhou, Yanzhou has been getting better and better, but in the end the population is not rich, and many places have nowhere to show it. Now that there are people, many things can be put on the agenda.
In addition to building the outer city wall, a wasteland must be planned in the city, which can be reclaimed and used to grow crops in the future. It's just that how to reclaim the wasteland, how to distribute it after reclamation, how to irrigate the canals, how much tax revenue... all have to be discussed in detail in a charter.
The officials below wrote the regulations according to the old rules of other states, but Xiao Zhige was not satisfied. Instead, it was An Changqing's words chatting with him in the mansion that caught his heart.
An Changqing said at the time: "Instead of issuing documents and ordering the people to reclaim wasteland, it is better to let them do it themselves. When these people arrive in Yanzhou, they always find ways to support their families. But they have no land, and Yanzhou is now Some fields are not enough for so many people to rent crops. It is better to encourage them to recognize the land and open up wasteland. According to the registration of households, the amount of wasteland claimed by a household must be reclaimed before October. The reclaimed fields belong to the people themselves, and the other two are exempted. annual tax."
In this way, these people are cultivating for themselves, and they must be much more active than they order the cultivating.
Xiao Zhige felt that this matter was very promising, and it happened that there was no one suitable for this matter, so he simply handed over the draft regulations to him. An Changqing was a little flustered at first. After all, he has never done anything major in his two lifetimes. Although he has read a lot of books, he is only talking on paper.
Now that he really wants to rush the donkey to the grinding, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it well, and at the same time, he is a little excited.
After all, what boy doesn't want to do something big? Before marrying Xiao Zhige, he also thought about becoming a local small official, not to mention the famous history, at least he was conscientious and worthy of his conscience.
Xiao Zhige was not as worried as he was, he just told him to try it first and draw up the regulations first. At that time, the charter will have to be read by all responsible officials, and after several discussions and revisions, an official document will be issued to inform the public.
Only then did An Changqing feel at ease. He called out the local chronicles, household registration books and field atlases of Yanzhou in the early years. Combined with his own ideas, he carefully drafted the articles of association. busy.
The study in the General's Mansion was often occupied by An Changqing, from dawn to dusk.
Originally, Xiao Zhige felt that he was not in a good mood these days and wanted to find something for him to do, but seeing that An Changqing became more and more decent, he had read some of the drafted rules, and many of his ideas were from the past. No one has mentioned it, but it is really beneficial to people's livelihood. Instead, he felt surprised and proud.
After delivering food and defending the city, he had long understood that An Changqing was not as vulnerable and needed protection as he thought. He looks noble and fragile, but under his beautiful skin is a body of hard bones. It's just that this skin is too beautiful, and he is used to being silent, so he has never been able to draw people's attention to the treasures hidden under the skin.
Xiao Zhige was the first to notice.
He privately wanted to hide people from anyone who knew. But seeing his eagerness to rummage through books, he wanted everyone to know that he was good.
***
It took An Changqing half a month to formulate the articles of association. At this time, it was already June. He had been busy all morning, copying the detailed rules in small script with hairpins, and then he went to look for Xiao with some trepidation. Stop Ge.
These days, he often goes to the official office, and the guards at the official office already know him, and they let him pass naturally after saluting.
Shen Tuxu was escorting nearly 10,000 "disorderly people" and was about to arrive in Yanzhou soon. Xiao Zhige was discussing with officials the details of how to settle these people. Although a lot of people is a good thing, it is also easy to cause trouble. If you want to get through this run-in period safely, you have to make arrangements in advance.
When An Changqing passed by, Xiao Zhige was still discussing matters. He had planned to wait outside for a while, but was directly invited in.
At this time, the hall had just finished discussing the issue of temporary resettlement of the people. When several civil servants saw An Changqing coming in, they saluted and looked at Xiao Zhige, wondering what he meant.
After all, civil servants do not have to be close to Xiao Zhige, and their hearts are bound to be more twisted.
Xiao Zhige didn't seem to notice, so he naturally waved An Changqing to sit beside him, and said to the others, "The rules for land reclamation that I discussed with you a few days ago were drafted by the princess, please pass it on first."
After speaking, he looked at An Changqing. An Changqing's originally uneasy mood calmed down under his gaze.
In the end, he was the princess of the Northern War, and he was one with Xiao Zhige. At this time, he naturally couldn't show his timidity to be looked down upon, so he nodded slightly with a solemn face, and passed on the details he brought.
A group of officials looked at him and felt that this princess was inexplicably similar to the King of the Northern War next to him.
In order to formulate the detailed rules, An Changqing consulted many literature and books, combined with the examples of predecessors he had seen before, and his own opinions, and wrote a full half of the booklet. Not only the land reclamation matters, but also the planting, water diversion and irrigation after land reclamation, etc., he extended the regulations to solve them, which are very detailed.
The officials who were still somewhat dissatisfied and questioned about his participation in this matter all looked at each other with shame after reading the detailed rules.
The charter of the charter was finally passed on to Xiao Zhige. Xiao Zhige had read most of it piecemeal earlier, but at this time he confirmed that he still read it carefully, and then said solemnly: "This charter, Do you have anything else to add?"
The officials looked at each other in dismay. Finally, the longest-serving official took the lead in expressing his views. When someone took the lead, everyone jumped up, adding supplements to the charter, or questioning what was incomprehensible.
Only this time, everyone's expressions and words showed respect and admiration for An Changqing.
An Changqing was secretly happy when she heard it, but she didn't show it on her face. Seriously answered everyone's questions, and worked with everyone to make up for the inadequacies. After such a discussion, the distance has narrowed a lot. Compared with the King of the Northern War, who was dark-faced and didn't like to talk all day, the civil servants obviously wanted to be closer to the good-tempered princess.
By the time everyone had finished discussing and set the final version of the charter, it was already dark.
An old man was very unfinished. Before leaving, he dragged An Changqing and refused to let go. He said earnestly, "When will the princess come back next time? We still have many places where we don't know how to start. After discussing with the princess, let the minister have Lots of new ideas.”
Just as An Changqing didn't know how to answer, Xiao Zhige freed An Changqing's sleeves from the old man's hands, and said sternly: "Go back and rest first, the old man, there will be more opportunities in the future, don't be in a hurry. a while."
The old man happily bowed his hands to the two before leaving.
Without the outsiders, An Changqing's straight back slackened, and with joy hidden in his eyes, he asked Xiao Zhige in a low voice, "You didn't embarrass the prince just now, did you?"
Xiao Zhige took his hand and said with a smile: "Today, thanks to the blessing, I asked these old men to give me a good look."
Civil servants are all tough, and Xiao Zhige is not a good-natured master. When the two sides disagree, it is not uncommon for them to quarrel. Of course, the final result is often Xiao Zhige's strong suppression, and these officials have to obey.
Today, An Changqing came. Although there were times when he had different opinions, he was good-natured and could explain and analyze with good words. Even if he had different opinions, he could seek common ground while reserving differences. Therefore, the atmosphere in the conference hall today was unprecedentedly harmonious.
"It's better to deal with these officials for me in the future." Xiao Zhige shook his head and commented: "Dealing with them is really exhausting and a headache."
Officials in Yanzhou have all been purged, and there are no corpses for vegetarians. But Xiao Zhige was a military general after all, and was used to speaking with his fists. However, this group of civil servants could go around eighteen turns with a single sentence, and each of them boasted that he was arrogant and fearless of power. Sometimes Xiao Zhige was disturbed by the entanglement, and he couldn't be rough with these civil servants, which was really frustrating.
If it was Qi Wei who was screeching in front of him, he would have kicked him long ago.
An Changqing laughed when he heard it: "How can you make it so difficult?"
Xiao Zhige nodded to himself: "Then it's settled."
An Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he understood that this was Xiao Zhige's excuse to get him involved in Yanzhou affairs, and he just didn't hate these things, so he was no longer coy and agreed calmly.
Seeing his answer, Xiao Zhige no longer bothered about this matter, and turned to care about his body: "You are busy every day these days, but you slept well at night. It's just that I look thinner."
An Changqing had a small face and a pointed chin. After losing some weight, the slap in his face is not big enough.
"Where did you lose weight?" An Changqing touched his face and said, "I have a good appetite these days, and I thought I would gain weight."
Xiao Zhige said with certainty, "I'm just losing weight. I'll use more for dinner today, and ask the kitchen to stew a soup to make up for it."
An Changqing glanced at him, thinking who should be drinking soup tonic. But he didn't dare to say this, otherwise he would suffer. So he responded perfunctorily: "Okay, let's drink together."
The author has something to say: Qi Wei: ? ? ? ? What am I doing wrong again
Counseling: I didn't do anything wrong, I just wanted to kick you.
Qi Wei: ... (Don't dare to say a word
———
Waiting for a long time, I will send you 99 red envelopes ducks if you have soup! Let's drink soup together!
