Chapter seven hundred and thirty sixth marriage affairs
Young Master, it’s enough to leave matters in the house to Zhou’er.”
At the beginning of the morning, the sky outside has become very bright. In the west city of Xianyang, in front of Zhou Qing's mansion, carriages have already gathered, but the momentum is not obvious. There are only three carriages, and they are only accompanied by a hundred-man black dragon cavalry.
Team.
After all, Zhou Qing had to travel quickly and oversee the two counties of Longxi and Beidi. Zhou Qing did not need to bring too many things. Moreover, Yun Shu had already prepared some daily necessities such as clothes.
In the leading large carriage, Zhou Qing was already lying leisurely inside. The cool air in the morning had not dissipated, but it was much refreshing. Yun Shu was explaining some important matters in front of the carriage.
In recent years, most affairs in the mansion have been in charge of Yun Shu. When Yun Shu was away, Zhou'er was in charge. Zhou'er was a member of the mother clan whom Zhou Qing found from the Zhaomei Pond of Zhao State a few years ago.
More than ten years ago, my mother died, and the mother clan in Handan was also implicated and subjugated to the slave garden. Fortunately, I encountered him and my bloodline remained. In recent years, I have been living a stable life in the mansion.
With.
When he entered the mansion, Zhou Er was already quite young. In recent years, Zhou Qing had also thought about finding a marriage for her, but she seemed unwilling to leave the mansion. Therefore, Zhou Qing did not say much.
With Qi at Yun Shu's side to help, I felt more at ease.
Yun Shu didn't explain much before the carriage. When he followed the young master in Nanyang last year, Zhou'er was already able to take charge of his own business. Although he didn't know how long it would take to go to Longxi, he would definitely not be able to come back in a short time.
Outside the house, there is Yun Shu's little sister. In recent years, her life has improved and she is much more beautiful. When she came in, she heard Yun Shu talking about finding a marriage for her little sister.
But his status is humble, and his younger sister's identity is not obvious. Zhou Qing naturally understands what Yun Shu means, but he doesn't know many people in Xianyang.
As he walked into the carriage, he nodded to Zhou Qing, opened the curtain again, looked at the young girl and Zhou'er outside the house, waved his hand, and the motorcade slowly advanced towards the south city of Xianyang.
"I can rest assured that she will do things."
"It's just that seeing that Zhou'er has already been in her prime for more than 20 years, it's a bit inappropriate to continue to stay in the mansion. However, she has been staying in the mansion all year round and there seems to be no one she likes. Yun Shu, what do you think?"
Although Zhou Er said that the in-laws were not important to the people from his mother's clan, Zhou Qing consciously wanted to spread a trace of blood to his mother's clan and settle the friendship between the blood.
He spoke slowly, looking at Nongyu, who was filled with a peaceful atmosphere at this moment, his hands were gleaming with light, and he was massaging his legs rhythmically, which was caused by the strength, soothing his muscles and bones.
With a wave of his hand, he took the delicate body into his arms, played with it slowly, and gently smelled the orchid-like scent, which was very pleasant.
"Sir, Yun Shu doesn't know about this...such things."
Seeing Sister Nongyu's charming appearance in the young master's arms, Yun Shu pursed his lips and smiled. Although he felt that the message from the young master's mouth was important, he didn't know much about Xianyang.
How can I share this matter with the young master? He spoke softly and shook his head lightly.
"Young Master...Young Master, I have a plan for getting jade. Is it possible?"
In the midsummer, the dress and shirt I was wearing was already thin. The young master's hands were playing with it, and some dazzling skin shone. I couldn't raise my strength. However, thinking about the young master's previous words, there was a slight movement in my mind.
"Oh, tell me?"
Zhou Qing was a little strange.
"I wonder who the young master would like for sister Zhou'er to fall in love with?"
Farmers and merchants are all hierarchical, and the young master is so concerned about Zhou Er's sister's affairs that he would not let her be ranked among the lower ranks of merchants.
"This all depends on Zhou'er himself, whether he is an official, a farmer, or a businessman."
Zhou Qing thought for a while, and with him in Xianyang, Zhou Er would have no worries no matter who he was matched with.
"That being the case, Nong Yu thinks that Sister Zhou'er has been staying in the mansion before and has no chance to meet outsiders. Moreover, the young master is unwilling to appoint a candidate directly if he wants to come."
"In this case, Young Master might as well place Sister Zhou Er in the Yueyang Wine Shop. With the specialness of Yueyang Wine Shop, if there is someone that Sister Zhou Er likes, Young Master can also make a decision."
Yueyang Winery is a restaurant in Nanyang, Xianyang today. In terms of prosperity, it is not as prosperous as Wushiju and several new ones opened in recent years, but this winery is the oldest winery in the entire Xianyang city.
In the past, when Lord Shang entered the Qin Dynasty, the Liyang Winery was opened by a Wei merchant in the former capital of Liyang, and later moved to Xianyang. Whether it was during the years of Duke Xiao or King Huiwen, the Liyang Winery was owned by important ministers and high-ranking officials in Xianyang.
, a gathering place for the students of the academy.
Even if the merchants wanted to enter, they would be embarrassed.
Now that Yue Yang Winery is under the jurisdiction of the Young Master, with the reputation of the young master, it will be easy to send Sister Zhou Er there, and she can also come into contact with many people. If she sees the right person, it will not be too late for the young master to take action.
"Yueyang Winery!"
"Well, this is a good place to go. With people from the Young Mansion protecting you, you won't have to worry about it."
"Yes, this is a good plan, and it deserves the first prize from me!"
This strategy is feasible. With Zhou'er's methods in the mansion in recent years, he has his own protection, and there is no problem in Yueyang Winery. Even so, he feels a little at ease. He looks at Nong Yu who made the strategy and smiles.
He sat up from the soft couch, looked at Nongyu, who was becoming more and more refined in his arms, and bowed his head.
******
As midsummer was about to pass, an earthquake occurred suddenly in the Longxi and Northern counties of Qin State. Afterwards, drought continued in the two counties. Although there were ditches, waterwheels and other facilities, the material for the summer harvest was still far from enough.
The fields were barren, the pastures were withered, and the cattle, sheep and horses suffered numerous casualties. This was not beyond Zhou Qing's expectation. As he traveled westward from Xianyang, he saw a large number of poor and hungry people flowing into Guanzhong from Longxi.
At the same time, rumors within Guanzhong are also spreading rapidly, driven by interested people. Compared with the disaster in Longxi, those rumors seem to be more powerful.
There are rumors: Qin wants to annex the world, and this is the retribution of Haotian!
There are rumors: The King of Qin was so violent that he forced his mother to death. If there is another war, the Ying Qin clan will be completely destroyed!
There is a rumor: The ground in Longxi is cracked three hundred feet, but it still defeats the veins of Qin's ancestral land. This is a warning from Haotian, which means that the Qin people will be extinct!
There are rumors: After the earthquake, the Qin State has been in chaos and has become a country in danger. The people of the countries east of Qin and Shandong will be slaughtered as a warning!
…
All kinds of things, Zhou Qing heard too much along the way. The disaster was exaggerated and bizarre and terrifying. It seemed that the entire Longxi was shaken by the earthquake. Various prophecies, divination, and rumors about celestial phenomena spread one after another. It was really true.
Some words have a burning meaning.
"Young master, I don't know what the situation is in Xianyang now?"
Going south to the Wei River, he swam up the river, and after three days, he still hadn't entered the land of Longxi. Listening to the rumors that were spreading more and more widely, Yun Shu seemed to understand why the king sent the young master to take charge of the two counties of Longxi.
"It's a small problem, but nothing serious."
"The countries in Shandong want to use such rumors to reverse their decline, which is a bit fanciful."
Zhou Qing shook his head and chuckled. The rule of law in Qin is based on the rule of law. When rumors spread, it is easy to find out the source. In this way, the spread of rumors can be stopped as soon as possible. If the rumors cease to exist, the people will be stable, and everything will be settled for Qin's internal affairs.
.
At about the same time, in the Qin Dynasty's Xingle Palace in Xianyang.
The central ministers also heard those exaggerated rumors. Although they were a little panicked for a while, they quickly calmed down.
"Longxi disaster, the offensive against Zhao remains unchanged, the supply of food, grass and baggage remains unchanged, the campaign to conquer the people's strength remains unchanged, and the established strategy must not be affected."
The King of Qin, dressed in imperial robes, came down from Zhangtai Palace. He had not yet changed into his regular clothes. He looked through the government documents in his hand and saw many countermeasures. He smiled softly and realized that such rumors were nothing more than a delaying strategy used by the Shandong countries.
However...it has no effect in front of myself.
Perhaps the main force of the Lantian camp will be dispatched later, but around the beginning of spring next year, they will decisively march eastward to overwhelm Zhao.
"My king, now that there is an earthquake in Longxi, hungry people have flowed into Guanzhong. However, Shu County, home to the two major granaries in Guanzhong, is full of goods and grain. Even if millions of hungry people move into Guanzhong, there will be no big intrusion."
"However, the Qin Dynasty should also show its response to such chaos, otherwise it will not be enough to calm the people's hearts and minds."
Prime Minister Changping Jun came out to say that in the past few years, the Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong and the fertile fields of Shu County have been harvested for thousands of miles. It is not a disaster for hungry people to enter Guanzhong, but if the Qin State handles it secretly, it may make the Shandong countries think that Qin
The country is afraid of trouble.
Only by launching countermeasures with great fanfare and demonstrating Qin Ting's determination can we deter those who gossip and have evil intentions.
"What's Xiangbang's plan?"
Qin Wangzheng nodded and his eyes fell on Xiong Qi.
"Yesterday, I worked out three strategies with Chang Shi, Ting Wei, Da Tian Ling and others. I hope your Majesty will make a decision!"
"First, when the Zhengguo Canal was built in the past, the Qin law was to treat disasters but not to provide disaster relief. Marquis Wu Zhen also proposed a strategy of exchanging merit for food. He could allow the hungry people in Longxi and North counties to build the Great Wall, and the food and grass would be provided by the county and county governments.
Treasury expenditure.”
"If it is insufficient, it can also be transferred from the pass. In this way, the hungry people can stay where they are, and the Great Wall front can be stabilized. After the drought and earthquakes are resolved, they can be returned to the countryside."
"The hungry people who flow into Guanzhong can also go into the mountains and forests to save themselves, or they can go into counties and counties to build water conservancy works at a cost."
Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, took a small step forward and spoke out the three policies in his mouth. After leading the state affairs for many years, he was naturally able to deal with these small matters with ease.
In the hall, the ministers listened quietly and nodded in agreement. This was the best strategy to keep the hungry people in their own place and prevent them from causing chaos.
"Secondly, the Empress Dowager Zhao died of illness at an old age. Although she has been buried, according to the etiquette of the Qin court, marriage and entertainment should be prohibited. However, the old Qin Dynasty also has ancient customs. Treating her as a funeral can show leniency to the counties.
.”
In response to the rumors attacking the Queen Mother, Lord Changping also proposed countermeasures.
After the words fell, the ministers thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Thirdly, merchants and tourists from Xianyang of Qin State and even all major counties and counties in Shandong can stay and go as they please without any interference. The documents should be sent to all major counties and counties immediately."
The same strategy was used to deal with Qin's desire to be domineering and strong in dealing with the people of Shandong.
After the document was written, there were no restrictions on the people of the Shandong states. In this way, the rumors could be broken and the merchants and travelers of the Shandong states in Qin could be stabilized. Most of them were affected by the rumors.
"good!"
After Qin Wangzheng finished listening, the light flashed in the depths of Danfeng's eyes, and he made attributive words.
Immediately after the court meeting ended, documents from the King of Qin and documents from the government's residence were sent to major counties and counties one after another, and announcements were posted at the four gates of Xianyang. Under the rule of law, orders and prohibitions were implemented immediately in all major counties and counties.
