On the last day before the Chinese New Year, Yu Liang hurried back to Luoyang, where he had been away for a long time.
When he was a few miles east of Panyuan, he saw a "resurrected" village and asked Wen Qiao who came to greet him.
Only then did he realize that the people in the village were actually Wubao residents who had been forcibly dispersed.
It’s funny to say that in the past, when the King of Liang held land in twenty counties, many people went to Liang to buy property, and some people actually fell in love with Luoyang.
Luoyang is a blessed place!
Luoyang Pichi ditch is perfect!
One acre of land in Luoyang is divided into three acres of farmland!
How come no one wants it? Then I won’t be polite.
However, there is a reason why Luoyang fields are so cheap.
Smart people cut up meat and sold it, and used the money to buy properties elsewhere. Some brave and careful people even went to Nanyang to buy land and ran the business for several years, barely surviving. Now they are waiting for the unification of the north and the south, and then send the second and third sons.
Others went to Jingzhou to open up.
The person who took over the deal did live a comfortable life for a few years, but now he is dumbfounded.
The King of Liang returned eastward with the supreme prestige of conquering the Xiongnu, and saw that he was going to carry out the Zen Dynasty in Luoyang. Do you think he could not make arrangements for the land in Luoyang?
The Heijin Right Battalion was brought back by the central leader Mi Huang. The first thing he did was to clean up the Wubao Manor in the counties of Henan.
Accompanying him were the Youxiao Cavalry Guardsmen, various Hu soldiers, and Wubao Dingzhuang who was subdued by the imperial court.
The overall process was lackluster, and the fighting process was not intense. We only fought two or three times and basically subsided.
After the liquidation of Wubao Manor was completed, the thirteen counties of Henan County recorded a population of about 55,000 households and a population of more than 250,000.
There are quite a lot of people, but more than half of them have moved in from the mainland in the past few months. Only some of them have carried out autumn sowing, and the rest have not had time to put into production, so they cannot be considered an effective population.
What Yu Liang saw east of Panyuan was the newly released Wubao Dingzhuang. They each shared part of the grain, received some farm tools, and even several families even shared a cattle for feeding, which could probably survive.
Over the winter, and do spring sowing in February.
Yu Liang even stopped to take a look.
Even though the Chinese New Year is coming tomorrow, these former Wubao residents are still picking up dead branches and leaves, stacking them in the irrigation canals, lighting fires to heat them, and then clearing them. They really don't miss a moment.
"The king must make Luoyang his capital." Yu Liang said with emotion.
"Yuan Gui, you've made some progress." Wen Qiao said with a smile.
Yu Liang had been the governor for several years and was well known for his official prestige. However, facing Wen Qiao, a friend whom he had always admired, he could not lose his temper. He could only say helplessly: "I went to Xuzhou not for leisurely partying. Zu Shi Zhizhen
They were not human, and they attacked every county every three days. The most brutal one was that they almost burned down the king's Donghai mansion."
Qiandi, also known as thatched house.
Just kidding, in fact, after Shao Xun became prosperous, his family built a new brick house next to the original site, and the old thatched house was also maintained and repaired.
But that time was really an exaggeration. Zu Ti fought all the way to the south of Qu County, twenty miles away, and almost burned Shao's hometown.
At that time, the war situation was complicated, and the two sides were in a tug of war. Li Zhong did not agree to divide his troops to rescue Qu County. The implication was that the old house of the Shao family would be burned down, and it would be enough to win the battle at hand.
At that time, Master Yu Liang got angry and almost deceived Li Chong into the camp and killed him, but Hao Xuan finally stopped.
On a rainy night, he personally led a group of soldiers and horses and rushed to Qu County out of breath.
Fortunately, the rain became heavier and heavier, and neither side could fight, so they finally stopped fighting.
"How is Zu Shizhi?" Wen Qiao asked.
"I heard he is about to die." Yu Liang laughed from the bottom of his heart and said, "Once he dies, the ancestors will want to unite his army. I don't think it is that simple. If the Jianye court interferes indiscriminately, there will be chaos."
Wen Qiao looked at Yu Liang up and down again, and smiled again: "Yuan Gui, you are making progress."
Yu Liang smiled and said, "I will need you to help me in the future."
"Have you forgotten that I am the son-in-law of the Wang family?" Wen Qiao asked.
"What's the problem? In the future, when I become the prime minister, you will be the minister. If you and I work together, everything in the world will be in the palm of our hands." Yu Liang said.
Wen Qiao looked around and whispered: "Yuan Gui, it's okay for you and me to talk wildly, but you have to restrain yourself. Some things can't be said randomly, otherwise you won't have a chance."
When Yu Liang heard this, he bowed and said, "Fortunately, Taizhen reminded me."
Wen Qiao felt helpless and said, "I shouldn't have asked you to borrow money back then. I owe you so many favors."
Yu Liang took his hand and laughed and said: "How can the friendship between you and me be measured by money? Come, follow me to Pan Yuan to meet my sister-in-law."
Wen Qiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "I came to welcome you on the order of King Liang."
"Oh? The king has taken a liking to you? What position has he been promised?" Yu Liang asked.
"A life-saving job." Wen Qiao said, "The governor of Qinzhou."
"It's a despicable place on the border." Yu Liang shook his head and said, "Why don't you wait a little longer? After Jiangdong is captured, wouldn't it be better to become the governor of Yangzhou and Jiangzhou?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiao didn't think so. He just heard him say: "It's better to be the governor of Qinzhou. I am nearly forty years old and my health is getting worse. Jiangnan is humid and humid. If I catch a disease there, I may not be able to survive."
It's over. If you stay in the north, you may live a few more years."
Yu Liang was stunned, but he had to admit that it made sense.
He had been in Xuzhou for many years, and fought back and forth with Zu Ti, and there were moments of glory. Once, he took a detour and went deep into Huainan. During the autumn rain, he unfortunately encountered an epidemic. In the end, he hurriedly withdrew his troops, and more than 4,000 soldiers were sent to Huainan.
Sixteen or seventeen people died.
Huainan is like this. What will happen if people from the north go to Jiangnan? There may not be anything going on, but the possibility of something happening is very high.
"That's true, but it's not easy to work under Jin Zheng." Yu Liang and Wen Qiao held hands and walked forward, saying: "When the king lived in Xuchang, in Bianliang, this person was extremely domineering and very domineering.
It’s not easy to deal with.”
"Let's talk after we get there." Wen Qiao didn't take it seriously.
If Jin is domineering, then coax him.
He didn't point to Kim Zheng for promotion, so what did he care about? Instead of trying to figure out Kim Zheng, it would be better to try to figure out Yao Laoqiang and others.
"Has your family been brought back from Xuzhou?"
"I won't be back until next year."
"Where's Li Chong?"
"The provincial governor and governor is responsible for Xuzhou's military and civilian affairs. The king wants to reuse him, and I think he knows it himself. Before leaving, he has been hoarding supplies, training sergeants, and building ships. In the future, he will conquer Wu. Commander all the way."
"It's a pity. Yuan Gui, you should stay. When we conquer Wu, you will be the commander-in-chief. Listen to Li Chong in everything, and you will definitely gain something on this journey."
"At this time, why are you talking about this..."
The two figures gradually disappeared and soon arrived at Pan Garden.
******
Many people came to Pan Yuan, most of them were relatives or in-laws of the Shao family, such as——
Guerrilla general Shao Shen, assassination governor Shao Fan, Taiyuan prefect Shao Guang, Jiuyuan commander Shao Jie, general chief secretary Yuan Neng (brother-in-law), Xihe prefect Tian Mao (niece-in-law), Heijing right camp governor Zhao Wei (cousin-niece-in-law) )wait.
The lineup is a bit thin, including the clan members and uncle's relatives, there are only a few of them.
However, the third generation has gradually grown up, and Shao Xun is also observing to see if there is any talent that can be made.
After Yu Liang and Wen Qiao came in, they greeted everyone.
Wen Qiao stayed in the front yard, while Yu Liang was led directly to the back house.
"Yuan Gui." Shao Xunzai was sitting in the courtyard, holding two babies in his arms, and there were two children at his feet, each holding one thigh. He looked very funny.
A little further away, Wang's eldest daughter Fu Bao slapped the tiger's head and neck.
The big and thick tiger head didn't dare to say anything and walked away in despair.
The eldest son of the king, Shao Zhang, and the second son, Shao Gui, seemed to have a deep brotherhood. They were asking each other for advice on running errands in a corner of the courtyard.
The third son of the king, Shao Xu, was the first to come up and salute.
Yu Liang returned the salute, and then saluted Shao Xun again.
Shao Xun handed the baby to the wet nurse.
Both of them are female babies. The former was born in the twelfth lunar month of the year before last, by the Yin family, and the latter was born in August this year, by the Jing family.
In May, Mrs. Guanqiu gave birth to a son, who died in July.
"Yuan Gui, after the New Year, go to Pingyang and accompany the Prime Minister." Shao Xun said.
"Yes." Yu Liang's face darkened and he replied.
Shao Xun looked at his expression and nodded secretly.
If Yu Chen dies, even if he does not have to observe mourning for three years, Yu Liang will not be able to serve as an official for a period of time.
When Lu Zhi passed away, Shao Xun insisted on taking Lu Chen with him, which caused a lot of criticism and was not a good thing for Lu Chen's own development.
Anyway, with him here, Yu Liang's resurrection in the future will only be a matter of words.
But if Yu Liang is dissatisfied because of this, then there is something wrong with his character.
"Go and see Wenjun, Liang Nu is accompanying her." Shao Xun waved his hand and said.
"Yes." Yu Liang responded, and then he was led by the servant to the garden.
Yu Wenjun was wearing a fox fur coat. He was in a bad mood and his eyes were slightly red.
Ten-year-old Liang Nu stood by the side. When he saw Yu Liang, he immediately saluted: "Uncle."
"Brother." Yu Wenjun stood up and saluted.
"Mei, sit down quickly." Yu Liang sighed and said.
"I will return to Pingyang after the new year to accompany my parents." Yu Liang said: "Beijing——"
At this point, I felt that it was not appropriate to say this now, so I shut up and said: "You are the queen, it is not appropriate to leave, so just stay with the king in Luoyang. He has been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and it is really hard.
It’s rare to have time to spare.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at his nephew.
Although Liang Nu was only ten years old, his face was handsome and somewhat similar to his mother's, but his figure was taller and stronger than his peers, which was similar to his father.
The more Yu Liang looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Isn't this nephew much better than Jin Dao, Badger Lang, Nian Liu and others?
What are you waiting for, Your Majesty? After ascending the throne, it’s time to establish a prince.
He heard on the road that Nanyang Lekai frequently visited Wang's eldest son Jin Dao, which was really arrogant.
I'll ask Wen Taizhen to make a plan in two days to see if I can make Lucai suffer a big loss.
"My uncle is in the capital. If my eldest brother has time these days, it would be best to go and visit him. I went to see him today. His body has been broken into pieces. It has been a while." Yu Wenjun lowered his head, his voice a little sad.
When Yu Liang heard this, he sighed and said, "Don't worry, sister, I'll go visit you after Zhengdan."
Yu Wenjun nodded and said nothing again.
Yu Liang was a little anxious. He was full of words, but he felt that the time was not right.
Alas! Women are careless and easily sad for spring and autumn.
If something big happens in the country in the future, he will have to shoulder the burden, not his sister.
"Liang Nu, I heard that you are good at school, but have you ever practiced martial arts?" His sister didn't say anything, so Yu Liang looked at his nephew and asked.
"I've been practicing archery recently." Liang Nu replied simply.
"Uncle also likes archery." Yu Liang said immediately: "Ask me if you don't understand anything."
"I practice archery with my father," Liang Nu said.
Yu Liang suffocated and laughed dryly: "Your Majesty's archery skills are so powerful that he surpassed all the martial arts masters in his family when we first met him."
"I have only scratched the surface of my father's skills." Liang Nu looked at Yu Liang's hands curiously and found that there seemed to be no calluses left by years of practicing bow and arrow, and he immediately doubted the authenticity of what his uncle said.
But he didn't say it out loud, he just kept it in his heart.
This uncle seems a little unreliable.
"Brother, you've been traveling all this time, haven't you eaten yet?" Yu Wenjun wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up and asked.
"Hey, it's okay." Yu Liang said: "When we assassinated Xuzhou, there were frequent wars, and we often didn't have time to eat. I've already gotten used to it."
Liang Nu listened silently.
Yesterday, his third uncle told him that his uncle had set up two monasteries in Xuzhou, raised three music troupes, and often entertained guests. He looked like a scholar.
But what he said does not seem to be false. Then there is only one possibility. My uncle likes to have fun when he is not fighting, and he can endure hardships when he is fighting.
Thinking of this, his impression of his uncle changed slightly.
"Liang Nu, go and review your lessons quickly." Yu Wenjun touched his son's head lovingly and said, "Your second uncle will come over in the evening."
"Yes." Liang Nu responded, turned and left.
"Is Wen Tai really here?" Yu Wenjun looked at Yu Liang and asked.
"Here we come." Yu Liang was a little surprised.
"Taizhen has a great talent for strategy and has the style of a national scholar." Yu Wenjun looked down at the ground and said softly: "If you have time, take him to see Liang Nu."
Chapter completed!
