Chapter 1152: A List of Small Mountains
At the highest point of the imperial city of the capital, Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the snowy city.
The city that had just been cleaned up as soon as possible is now covered in white. The cleaning work seems to be doing useless work every day, but this is essential. Not every building in the entire Yuejing City is as strong as the imperial city. Such heavy snow crushes the house or something is nothing strange. It is not a strange thing to remove the snow on the roof every day. Although it is troublesome, it is more secure in safety. Moreover, if the snow on the street is not cleaned, it will accumulate more and more, which will greatly affect your travel.
Furthermore, it is also to find some things for those who do nothing in winter. Although they are going to get money from the yamen in the capital city, the money will not go anywhere else, and will return to the purse of the court in other forms.
Thanks to this heavy snow, the prices in Yuejing City finally rose and returned to the level before deflation, which also made Qin Feng feel relieved. The prices are too low and are not a good thing for producers.
"Your Majesty!" A low voice came from beside him. Guo Jiuling was tightly wrapped in a thick cloak, and a big hat that almost wrapped the entire head appeared beside Qin Feng. It was in sharp contrast with Qin Feng's clothes. Even in this mid-winter season, Qin Feng was just wearing a robe.
"The wind is so strong outside, why are you here to do? If you have something to come and tell me if I go back, wouldn't it be enough?" Qin Feng said with a smile, "You can bear the wind here so strong?"
"So the old minister is fully prepared!" Guo Jiuling said with a smile. Over the years, he has been completely suitable for his life of losing his profound martial arts practice, and he lives more like an ordinary person." It is not always possible to stand on this high place with His Majesty and enjoy the scenery of the mountains. So, no matter how cold the old minister is, he can stand it."
Qin Feng laughed loudly, "The older you are, the more you can flatter."
"It seems that the old minister didn't stop the horse's hooves." Guo Jiuling also narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the ravines on his face seemed deeper and deeper.
Looking at Guo Jiuling's old look and shivering body, Qin Feng restrained his smile and sighed: "Old Guo, you have become older in the past two years. Don't work so hard. You can take on a great responsibility, no matter Tian Kang, Tian Zhen or Qianmian, you can take on a great responsibility."
"What the old minister knows. They have been helped on the horse, but the old minister is still moving now, so he sent them a long journey. When the major events in Chu State are certain, the old minister will immediately enjoy life." Guo Jiuling pulled his cloak tighter, "Shu Chang will come to personally check my pulse and prepare medicine every month, so, the old minister's body is OK."
"You are hurting your vitality. Even if you do your best to help, you will not be able to cure the root cause. You should be careful. Let's climb from the most difficult time together. I hope you can see me climb to the top and truly see all the mountains with me!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely strive to survive until that time." Guo Jiuling nodded, "This matter is so exciting to think about, so I will definitely not die too early."
"Then even if we have agreed, don't hold on. If you are tired, take a break immediately. When you are in good spirits, you will come out to take charge of the matter again." Qin Feng warned.
"Now I have assigned most of the affairs, and I am only staring at the Chu State." Guo Jiuling said.
"Do you still think Tian Kang is the most suitable candidate to replace you?" Qin Feng thought for a while and asked, "Tian Zhen seems to be more suitable."
"Tian Zhen is indeed good, but he is suitable for this seat." Guo Jiuling shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the position of Eagle Nest Commander is only suitable for those who are free from worries and do not have much interest in it. Tian Zhen cannot do it. Tian Kang's own ability is not inferior to Tian Zhen. Besides, his wife Zi Luo is also a good player. The couple will definitely be able to manage Eagle Nest with a prosperous future."
"But it seems that Tian Zhen has never given up fighting for it!" Qin Feng said, "A few days ago, Liu Xingwen seemed to have inadvertently mentioned to me how hard Tian Zhen is doing now."
Hearing Liu Xingwen's name, Guo Jiuling laughed: "To be honest, His Majesty, the in-laws, is really not strong in political sensitivity. He also mixed in such matters. Is Tian Zhen tempted? It seems that the old minister still has to knock on him."
"It's not just Liu Xingwen, but also Chen Jialuo and the others came back last time, and they also asked Tian Zhen's credit for me. However, Chen Jialuo is a bachelor and told me directly that he hopes that Tian Zhen can take over your position in the future. Of course, if I have another suitable candidate in my heart, he doesn't care."
"Chen Jialuo is much smarter than Mr. Liu. He rings the wooden bell for Tian Zhen in front of you, but he won't let you hate him. Mr. Qi, that is, he has a good father and a good daughter!"
Qin Feng laughed: "Not to say that, it's true. Mr. Liu, an old fox-like figure, is also very cute and cute."
"This is probably inherited from generation to generation!" Guo Jiuling shrugged.
"Maybe it's really. Lao Guo, to be honest, I hope that my daughter-in-law should not be too smart!" Qin Feng said.
"Your Majesty must be that the grape rack in the Imperial Garden has fallen again!" Guo Jiuling looked at Qin Feng with malicious intentions.
"Nonsense." Qin Feng looked righteous, "The Empress is Wen Shuxian."
"That's it, that's it!" Guo Jiuling also nodded repeatedly. He thought to himself that the Empress can be considered a gentle and virtuous person in front of his subjects, but in front of you, it's impossible to say.
Who is Guo Jiuling? When it comes to the close relationship with the Queen, I am afraid that Yinggu can compare with him. His martial arts was lost for the queen. In front of Guo Jiuling, Min Ruoxi always acted like a person without disguise.
"Your Majesty, today I came to find you. There are indeed a few things to report to you. The first thing is that the Chinese businessmen you have been worried about who were arrested by the Qin people in Yongdu were rescued."
"All rescued?"
Guo Jiuling paused: "It can only be said that all those who are still alive were rescued. After incomplete statistics, there were more than 5,000 merchants in Yongdu, Qin, and in the end there were less than 3,000 living people. The rest were gone. Or there were still many who did not count, and they would definitely die."
Qin Feng sighed. At that time, the matter of the Tiger Prison was extremely secret. Of course, the Ming Dynasty could not inform the Ming people who were in the Qin territory to evacuate in advance. This was not true to announcing to the Qin people that the Ming Dynasty would make a big move and would turn against the Qin people. After the matter of the Tiger Prison was completed, these Ming people in the tiger's den immediately became the targets of the Qin people's anger.
Of course, in the end, most of the local county governments far away from the Yongdu of Qin were disobedient and slow to move, so that the Ming people who received the news could run away and hide, but those in Yongdu were not so lucky. Basically, they didn't run away.
"Three thousand people, about six million kilograms of grain. Your Majesty, the price is a bit too high. Not only the Political Affairs Hall, but most people think that it is not worth it at all. Or because these six million kilograms of grain will make the Qin people last longer in the future war to attack Yongdu, and I will kill and injure more soldiers."
"The account is not calculated like this!" Qin Feng shook his head: "It is the fate of the soldiers who are bleeding on the battlefield. These comrades, who are not in the ranks of battle, are implicated because of our actions. It is our responsibility to save them. It is our Ming Dynasty to not abandon or give up. Every Ming Dynasty person deserves such treatment."
Guo Jiuling said: "Of course, this matter is also of great benefit from another aspect. This will make the people in the Ming Dynasty more united and love His Majesty more. Therefore, the Political Affairs Hall has decided to send special personnel to the military camp outside Yongdu to pick them up and take them back with great fanfare."
"Is this necessary?" Qin Feng frowned.
"Your Majesty, since you have paid 6 million kilograms of food, you will naturally have to make him worth the capital." Guo Jiuling said affirmatively: "So I think it is very necessary."
"Since everyone thinks so, then that's it." Qin Feng said irresistible.
"The second thing is that the news came back from the Eagle. The Qin people increased their troops in the Hengduan Mountains. He has been promoted again now, with 30,000 soldiers in his hands. Murong Hai has also been promoted. Now he is in charge of the first battalion alone."
Qin Feng burst into laughter, "One day, Guo Xiancheng would be angry and would he vomit three liters of blood."
"It's more than three liters? You must be vomiting blood! But there is one thing that I can't make up for. Now Guo Xiancheng admires Tuobayan very much. Knowing that Tuobayan is single, he actually introduced one of his nieces to him and wanted to further win over Tuobayan. Tuobayan doesn't know what to do now? It's reasonable to refuse, it seems unreasonable. A young and promising and vigorous general refuses to propose marriage to someone who has great kindness!"
"For this matter, let Tuobayan make his own decisions, don't give any advice." Qin Feng thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, I'm worried..."
"It's useless to worry!" Qin Feng shook his head, "Tuobayan's status in Qi is getting higher and higher, and he is no longer the little one we sent out at the beginning. He began to have some of his own ideas. It's not surprising that as long as the general direction is good, that's fine. I also believe that he can handle these things well."
