Chapter 629 Bianliang
Yang Xianrong looked at Shao Xun quietly. He originally wanted him to kneel down for a while, but when he saw his dusty face, he felt a little soft-hearted and asked him to get up.
At the same time, she secretly resented that this bastard hadn't been nice to her a few times, but she still remembered the scene when he was in panic and despair, wearing armor and standing guard outside the door all night.
She still remembered that when she was living alone in Guangcheng Palace, he came in the middle of the night and prepared firecrackers for her in the cold wind.
She even remembered the poem that Shao Xun wrote to her: "If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?"
Just like this, he was angry, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Sometimes, the person isn't such a jerk.
After Shao Xun stood up, he waved his soldiers and subordinates to retreat.
"This place is called 'Fangzhou Pavilion'. It has more than twenty pavilions and pavilions, with rippling blue waves and clusters of flowers. It is a rare palace with water views." Shao Xun took a few steps closer and said.
"Why don't you ask me why I'm here?" Yang Xianrong felt that he should be angry, so he asked with a straight face.
I feel a little sad in my heart. I was obviously very angry before, but not so angry now.
Shao Xun took two steps forward, wanting to hug the sheep and show his face.
Yang Xianrong ducked away, sat down, and looked at him coldly.
"But you're here to learn calligraphy?" Shao Xun asked.
As the right commander of the chariot shogunate, Yang Chen came to Junyi half a month in advance, and Yang Xianrong followed him to learn calligraphy. It is reasonable, right? No one cares about her now, and the emperor doesn't want to see her.
"Cao Yi wants to be the shepherd of Qingzhou and the hussar general." Yang Xianrong said.
"It turns out it's really business." Shao Xun said with a smile.
Yang Xianrong took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "The imperial court and the clan sent people to Guanggu. Cao Yi finished taking care of Qingzhou more than a year ago, and his position is extremely stable. He is surrounded by a group of Celestial Masters and Taoist disciples.
He is not afraid of anyone harming him, so he asks for the position of Qingzhou Mu and General of Hussars. We are still talking about it. After I find out the news, I will come over and wait for you."
"What's there to talk about? I have too much appetite, so we won't talk anymore." Shao Xun sat next to Yang Xianrong and put his arms around her waist.
Yang Xianrong nudged him with his elbow.
Shao Xun was thick-skinned and didn't care at all, with a smile on his face.
Yang Xianrong pushed it twice more, but after seeing that it had no effect, he was too lazy to move.
"Now that you know, I will stay soon." Yang Xianrong said calmly, and then stood up.
Shao Xun hugged her into his arms and looked at her.
Yang Xianrong also looked at him expressionlessly.
Shao Xun suddenly thought that he had known Queen Sheep for many years and rarely saw her cry.
This woman is somewhat strong-tempered, but also very fragile inside.
Although jealousy is very strong, it is nothing compared to the things she has done for herself.
He stretched out his hand, gently stroked her face, and said, "Don't leave, just stay at Fangzhou Pavilion."
"You-" Yang Xianrong was a little surprised.
"I don't care about other people's opinions anymore." Shao Xun said: "I have tolerated so much in other matters and brought countless benefits to the scholars and wealthy families. If I still can't be willful, do you really think I have no temper?"
The coldness on Yang Xianrong's face melted away a little, and his eyes softened.
"Has anyone looked for you over there in Taishan?" Yang Xianrong's body softened, and he gently stretched out his hand, stroking Shao Xun's face.
"No."
Yang Xianrong was startled, and then said: "It's okay if you don't have one. Some people in the clan may want to marry you a daughter of the Yang family."
"Marry?" Shao Xun smiled and said, "When the situation was so delicate back then, why didn't you marry your daughter?"
These aristocratic families are the most sensitive.
As soon as there is any disturbance, he becomes conservative and likes to wait and see the situation.
To put it bluntly, the Yu family may have been shaken back then, but Yu Wenjun was determined to marry him, and the Yu family members were indeed in too deep a trap, so they agreed.
The vote of the Yingchuan nobles was correct.
So they are now arrogant and not very enthusiastic towards the scholars in other places in Yuzhou, let alone the scholars in Yanzhou.
Now Shao Xun is already a general of chariots and cavalry, and he will be promoted to general and Duke Liang in a while. Everyone is rushing to invest.
These aristocratic families, like banks in later generations, like to lend money to people who are not short of money. Entrepreneurs who really need money have nowhere to raise funds, or even if they do raise money, the cost is very high.
"I just need to see you every day." Shao Xun looked into Yang Xianrong's eyes and said, "You are the Yang girl I want."
A thin layer of blush appeared on Yang Xianrong's face.
After a moment, she suddenly thought of something and said: "Give Ms. Cui away. This woman is very thoughtful and pretentious, and I don't like it."
Shao Xun was speechless, why did Yangyang always ask him to get rid of the women around him.
"You will never see her again." Shao Xun said.
Yang Xianrong understood what he meant, didn't say anything, and acquiesced.
This is a change in status. If it was ten years ago, it would not have been so easy to end. After all, Ms. Cui had no children. It would not be difficult for her to leave the house and get married if she was given a severance package.
"Are you still a minister of the Jin Dynasty?" Yang Xianrong asked again.
"Yes." Shao Xun didn't know why.
"I am the king and you are the minister. Do you still obey the king's orders?"
"listen."
"I order you to kiss me..."

"Ming Gong, the boats, carriages and horses are ready." Yang Qin said softly outside the arch of the courtyard.
Shao Xun put on his clothes, his legs were a little heavy and he said, "Let's go, Queen Fenghui is on a tour."
Yang Xianrong took off his green silk clothes and put on a palace dress.
The palace servants and chambermaids who served her looked at her intently and surrounded her out of the small courtyard.
At the beginning of this year, Shao Xun petitioned to transfer Kaifeng County of Xingyang County to Chenliu.
According to the plan, a new city was built south of Junyi County, near the old city of Daliang during the Warring States Period. The name was already thought out: Bianliang.
Junyi, Kaifeng County Fuguo, Junyi manages the eastern boundary, and Kaifeng manages the western boundary.
The construction of Bianliang City has not yet started, but what is being built now is Liang Palace.
Liang Palace has been under construction since last year, and it has only just begun. Fangzhou Pavilion is an independent building complex built in the sea of sand.
Shahai is a place name located in the northwest of the planned Bianliang City.
"Warring States Policy" says: "Yan Shui said, 'The kings and ministers of Daliang want to get the Nine Cauldrons, and they have been plotting on the sea of sand for a long time.'"
During the Warring States Period, the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State often gathered in Shahai to discuss important matters, which was very famous.
The Sand Sea is not a desert, but a swamp formed after the flooding of the Yellow River, Bianshui River and other rivers. It was originally named because of the large amount of sediment left behind after the flooding.
Fangzhou Pavilion is located on a higher sandbank on its southeastern edge.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the Bian River was diverted into the sand sea and dredged and widened, forming a huge lake for training boatmen to attack Chen.
This lake dried up extensively in the Tang Dynasty and still remained in the early Ming Dynasty. However, as the Yellow River changed its course during the Hongzhi period, it completely disappeared.
Shao Xun and others got on a boat.
At this time, the spring flowers are blooming and the breeze is gentle. When standing on the bow of the boat, I feel extremely refreshing.
"If there is more time in the future, I will send people to clear out the silt, divert the river water, and fill it with Bianshui, and train the boatmen if they fail to conquer." Shao Xun said while looking at the rippling blue waves.
"It's better to go to Fengze to practice." Yang Xianrong walked out of the cabin and stood side by side with Shao Xun.
Fengze is south of Bianliang and extends to Weishi County, sixty or seventy miles long.
This huge swamp lake is famous for the fact that Qin Xiaogong was the hegemon, allowing the princes, young officers and commanders to meet the princes and the emperor.
There is also a swamp lake area in the southeast of Bianliang, namely Muze, with a radius of fifteen miles. Next to Muze is the blowing platform of King Xiao of Liang.
In short, there are large lakes and swamps in the northwest, southeast and south of Bianliang City, some of which are very large. For example, Fengze runs through three counties from north to south.
Various rivers also pass nearby, including vital canals.
The existence of these swamp lakes plays a role in regulating the water volume and greatly improves the navigation conditions of the canal.
In fact, cities like Bianliang do not need to be settled here for it to develop.
The more developed the society, the more prosperous the business, and the faster Bianliang will develop.
After the mid-Tang Dynasty, Bianliang had replaced Luoyang as the largest metropolis in Guandong. This was a choice for social development and had nothing to do with anything else.
In fact, Shao Xun didn't really want to make Bianliang his capital. It was only the capital of the "Liang Dukedom", not the capital of the "Liang Empire".
But he doesn't mind building Bianliang properly, just like Cao Cao rebuilt Yecheng.
Building Bianliang and improving its infrastructure will be beneficial to future economic development.
Moreover, as his "Longxing Land", Bianliang can also be used as a companion capital.
The emperor would stay here from time to time for a year and a half, supervising water transportation and commerce nearby, and developing Xingyang, Chenliu and other places east of Luoyang into places with abundant resources and talented people, continuously providing Luoyang with supplies and even talents.
"What's over there?" Yang Xianrong looked at another sandbar and asked.
"That's Huang Nu's Palace." Shao Xun replied: "Fangzhou Pavilion, Huang Nu's Palace can be connected with the main body of Liang Palace, with a city wall built outside and a water gate on the wall."
After saying that, he whispered: "I will leave this palace for you to live in from now on."
Yang Xianrong's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look at it carefully.
On the sandbank where Huang Nu Palace is located, people are already carrying materials and laying a solid foundation.
The surrounding scenery is indeed beautiful.
It is protected by dense forests, and when the wind blows, there are waves of pine trees.
On the vast expanse of blue lake, birds and gulls gather together and fly high.
In the large and small sandbanks and grasslands, there are already shepherds who don't know where they are grazing. Horses are playing wildly in the streams, splashing big clouds of water.
"A high platform will be built in Huang Nu's palace." Shao Xun said: "I want to sit with you in Changqiu, greet the rising sun, and observe the beauty of the world. Finally, bathe in the sunset, and go to the remote land together hand in hand."
After saying that, he lowered his voice and said: "I will still look for you in the next life."
Yang Xianrong settled there. After a long time, he hummed and said, "Find me as soon as possible in the next life."
The ship continued to move forward and soon reached the shore.
On the Bian River in the distance, ships one after another were loaded with cargo and moving forward slowly.
The construction of Bianliang City played a pivotal role in the development of Liang State and even Henan.
The ship quickly disappeared on the horizon and continued to sail west of Cangyuan.
This is new grain sent from Chen County to settle the 1,200 soldiers and their families of Longxiang Prefecture in the newly built warehouse (located in the north of Bianliang).
More than ten miles southeast of Bianliang, there were 1,200 soldiers from Chuitai Longxiang Mansion.
Most of these 2,400 people were Guanxi soldiers. They fought fiercely with the bandits in Shexian County the year before last. They defended for another year last year. This year they collectively turned into government soldiers. They were mostly refugees from Hebei Province who gathered together.
Of course, there are more than just these two Longxiang mansions around Bianliang. In fact, this is just the beginning.
The Liang Kingdom with its ten counties belongs to Shao, so naturally it must be managed well.
