When Yang Xian returned to Wenming Palace in high spirits, Yu Wenjun sent someone to bring some rare spices from the Western Regions. After the Xiongnu occupied Guanxi, the number of these items was greatly reduced, and the price also increased sharply.
After looking uncertain for a long time, he finally accepted it.
To be honest, she didn't even bother to take action against Yu Wenjun.
Princess Liang is a fool, but Prince Liang is a shrewd person, and she doesn't want to get into trouble.
The prestige of the Lord of Kaiji is too high. They fight back and forth, but in the end it doesn’t really depend on his own will?
This kind of people who are rolled out of the pile of dead people are as hard-hearted and unyielding.
If there are no major changes, it will be difficult to change his inherent ideas.
Pei Lingyan should be the person who knows him best. Her focus is on cultivating her son. Isn't that the right path for Huanghuang? Only the child's outstanding ability can impress Prince Liang, and everything else is in vain.
After being angry for a while, she silently went to the study room, sorted out various stationery and books, and then went to the bedroom and made the bed.
It's impossible to wear the Queen's crown tonight because she doesn't want to.
At this time, Yu Wenjun was accompanying Shao Xun to summon several descendants of the Yu family: Yu Liang, Yu Mi, and Yu Tiao in the Guangji Hall.
There are actually quite a few people from the Yu clan serving as officials.
On the other side of Luoyang, there were ministers who ordered Yu Min to give orders to Yu Yi, and Luoyang ordered Yu Bing.
On the Liang side, there were Yu Chen, the prime minister, Yu Miao, the minister of wine in the west pavilion, and Yu Tiao, the official of Cang Cao.
In Qingzhou, there is no difference between Yu and Yu.
As for the Yu family's descendants, there are still eight or nine children who serve as Zhongzheng, meritorious officials and even county-level officials in Yingchuan, Runan, Xiangcheng, Henan and other counties.
The momentum is still quite high, but the level is average.
Yu Yi had been in office for many years and had not made much achievements. Currently, he was working as a co-ordinator for his uncle Yu Min, and was only enjoying seniority in the court.
Some time ago, Liang Fen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, asked Yu Yi to be the prefect of Jijun. Prime Minister Yu Chen avoided suspicion and did not express his opinion. Shao Xun decided to let Yu Yi give it a try, and he agreed with a stroke of his pen.
Yu Bing served as the Luoyang magistrate at a young age. He behaved carelessly, not bad, and managed all affairs in an orderly manner.
Shao Xun is also observing him.
There was a lot of criticism of Yu Bing in the official circles. The main reason was that he relied on his family background to serve as the Luoyang order, and he was too young, which made people jealous.
If you want to become a high-level political figure, ability is one thing, and character is also important. Shao Xun will continue to observe Yu Bing's performance during his tenure in Luoyang.
Yu Tiao was simply old enough to serve as an official, but he didn't know what his abilities were, so he first arranged for an affairs officer: Shogun Kurasō Reishi.
Cang Cao Lingshi mainly dealt with Canggu.
The affairs are tedious, but not complicated. If you can't think of anything wrong, you have to run frequently. Shao Xun wanted to see if he was willing to endure hardship and not stay in the government office all day and be lazy.
Yu Zhi and Yu Mi were both sons of Yu Gun. They mainly helped Shao Xun run errands and contacted people from all walks of life, so they still had some credit.
After Hu Wufu, the former shogunate's West Pavilion wine worshiper, died of illness, Yu Mi took over his post. Hu Wufu's death was very painful. After Shao Xun heard about it, he felt that he must have cirrhosis of the liver and drank too much.
Yu Mi's first task after taking the post of offering wine in the West Pavilion was to go to Shengle to meet Tuoba Yulu and ask for the throne of Yanmen County.
This is not an easy task, and it might lead to death. Shao Xun couldn't bear it, so he repeatedly warned: "Yuandu went to Shengle. How to speak must be carefully considered. Anyi Wei family and Tuo
If there is an old postscript, I will ask Wei Zhan to send some of his disciples to accompany him to make things right."
"As ordered." Yu Mian responded with a serious look on his face.
Over the years, he has been doing the job of licking blood with a knife, such as going on more than one mission to the party.
Now I am going to Shengle again, and it seems that I am going farther and farther on the road of envoy.
Once a person is labeled, it is extremely difficult to change his career.
In fact, he did not want to be an envoy, nor did he want to be in the shogunate or central government. He preferred to be a local official.
I can't do it as a prefect, but I can accept it as a county magistrate! It's a pity that I have never had such an opportunity.
"If you have the opportunity, find out more about the Tuoba clan." Shao Xun said: "Dai, I will definitely regain the two counties of Yanmen. This was granted privately by Liu Kun and was not approved by the court. These two counties are not allowed to be taken back from the border areas.
If there is no peace, the Tuoba clan can enter and leave Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou at will."
"Don't be afraid. If the Tuoba family dares to fight with each other, I will raise my troops and march north to wait for a while. Of course, I don't want to fight this year. You have to know how to measure it."
"Yes." Yu Mi responded.
This requires him to be tough in his words, not to be manipulated or looked down upon at will, but not so tough that there is no room for flexibility, because the time to start a war is not yet ripe, and he really needs to think carefully about it.
After explaining to Yu Mie, Shao Xun looked at Yu Tiao again, put on a smile, and said: "Youxu, you were still a naughty boy back then, but you have grown so big in the blink of an eye. Are you comfortable working in Cangcao?"
"Brother-in-law——" Yu Tiao raised his head, and as soon as he said two words, Yu Liang glared at him.
"It doesn't matter, we are all members of our own family today." Shao Xun said warmly: "Excluding the first month, this year has only been one month, and Youxu has already inspected Wei and Ao Erdi Pavilion, very diligently. You have to stick to it from now on. If you don't run away, you can't.
Does it all depend on the people below to fool you? If you run away, if they want to fool you, they will have to spend more money and contact more people, which will greatly increase the possibility of exposure. This is the right way, encourage it."
"Yes." Yu Tiao bowed his head and responded.
"Ji Jian." Shao Xun looked at Yu Bing again and said: "Last year, you tried the trial and sentenced the Xiongnu to surrender. You did a good job. You learned quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. You also did things like raising food, issuing services, and recruiting troops.
It's very good. The soldiers sent here have been thoroughly trained, and the Central Guards are full of praise for it."
Shao Xun praised him for a while, which made Yu Bing feel excited.
Yu Wenjun also looked at his elder brother happily.
Yu Liang acted like a big brother, looking at his younger brother with a pleased expression.
"Only one thing is wrong." Shao Xun said suddenly.
Yu Bing was startled and immediately sat up straight, listening attentively.
"I heard that many wealthy officials and wealthy families have begun to enclose land and build estates again." Shao Xun shook his head and said: "You are too indulgent to them. I will use all the land in Luoyang and let them spit it out."
"Your Majesty, those lands were originally theirs, but they were just abandoned." Yu Bing couldn't help but say.
"How many years have you given up? Why haven't you seen them come to clean up before? When Wang Mi was defeated, everyone reorganized their homes, built villages, and recruited dealers. There is only so much land in Luoyang, and sooner or later it will be carved up by them." Shao Xun said: "Since it is abandoned.
If you don’t want it, then you don’t want it, and the imperial court will naturally take it away and redistribute it. This matter is very important, don’t be afraid of difficulties, I will let the forbidden army cooperate with you. If the forbidden army cannot be used, I will lead the Silver Spear Army to take over the land. "
Yu Bing now understood the seriousness of the matter.
He thought for a moment and suddenly felt enlightened.
My brother-in-law most likely wants to make Luoyang his capital in the future, and he certainly doesn't want to see all the manors of ministers near Luoyang.
At that time, Cao Mengde lived well in Xuchang, and slowly ran to Yecheng. He still felt the fear that Xuchang was almost surrounded by gentry manors.
Considering his brother-in-law's move to resettle 40,000 Huangtou troops and his continuous inventory of fields in Bianliang, he very much wanted the troops and officials who followed his orders to live near the capital, which would require allocating a large amount of land to them.
"Yes, we'll start cleaning up after we get back." Yu Bing replied.
For some reason, he thought of Wang Yan's Jingu Garden...
However, it was given to Wang Yan by her brother-in-law, but it was not easy to touch.
Wang Yan couldn't make a move, but his followers still had a chance to make a move.
Wang Yifu has been controlling the imperial court in Luoyang all year round, and most of his followers are also in Luoyang. In the past two or three years, there have been quite a few people who have been managing houses and cultivating fields. It seems that he can give them a few slaps.
Having said this, Shao Xun's mouth felt a little dry.
Yu Wenjun waved his hand, and the palace people came forward one after another to pour tea for everyone.
Yu Wenjun stood up in person and poured a bowl of tea for his husband.
Yu Liang picked up the tea bowl and was about to drink, but saw that King Liang had put down the tea bowl and seemed to be about to speak, so he paused.
But who knew that King Liang quickly picked up the tea bowl and took another sip.
Yu Liang struggled for a moment, and finally picked up the tea bowl. As soon as he brought it to his mouth, he heard the word "Yuan Gui", his hand shook, and he almost spilled it.
"The construction of Bianliang has stopped, so you must have nothing to do." Shao Xun looked at him and said, "So you just stay in Pingyang all day long, drinking and having fun?"
"Your Majesty, Duzhicao cannot allocate money or food, so there is nothing I can do." Yu Liang said while observing Shao Xun's expression.
He was not sure whether the Liang King was dissatisfied with him because he had "nothing to do", or because he was "drinking and having fun", or both?
"What are the tens of thousands of people under your command doing?" Shao Xun asked.
"After the construction of Bianliang was stopped last year, I asked them to farm the fields. They live in Junyi and Kaifeng counties to support themselves. If we can pay money and food this year, I will call them back and continue to build Bianliang."
Yu Liang said.
"You have done a good job in this matter, and you have made progress over the years." Shao Xun said: "It seems that when we were in Guangchengze, you were in charge of the villagers' reclamation of wasteland and farming, and you were very familiar with it. The wheat will be harvested in May, and by then or
If you have a certain amount of grain and grass, you allocate manpower to transport it to Pingyang, Jinyang, and Yecheng."
"yes."
"Henan really has no food at all?" Shao Xun asked in a more serious tone.
"Not much left." Yu Liang was not talking nonsense. Last year, most counties and counties in Henan only had one harvest of millet. How could there be much food? Hebei spent most of it on disaster relief, or maybe a little was left, but they were all used to save lives. So what?
Are you willing to take it out easily?
"That's all, I can't satisfy my desires." Shao Xun sighed: "After the wheat harvest in May, try to make up for the empty mansion. You send people to Bingzhou to send more. I will be useful next year."
"Yes." Yu Liang replied.
Most of the tens of thousands of people under his command were refugees, prisoners, and criminals. When they were not repairing Bianliang, they were serfs. They were used to transport grain and grass for their own purposes.
He vaguely felt that his brother-in-law seemed to have the urge to take action against the Tuoba clan. The only thing he lacked now was food, grass and military supplies.
"Okay, that's all." Shao Xun glanced at the Yus and said with a smile: "There are so many talented people in the Yu family. Liang Nu is still young, so he will have to rely on you uncles to help him in the future."
After hearing this, Yu Wenjun only looked at her husband without blinking.
As the eldest son, Liang Nu was only five years old this year. He was really young, which made her slightly worried.
Yu Liang's eyebrows were filled with joy, and he looked at each other with his brothers, secretly saying that as Liang Nu grew older, the clouds finally cleared and the moon became brighter.
But we can't take it lightly. That old guy Wang Yan is really disgusting, so we have to find a way to suppress him.
After meeting with the Yu family, Shao Xun stayed in Ningshuo Palace to recuperate.
In early March, after Yu Wenjun returned from the silkworm cultivation, Shao Xun gathered his troops and headed north to Lishi.
