All Hail Cousin Brother

What is fairness?

After all, it comes down to the word balance.

And what is balance?

It's just whitewash and peaceful.

Under the balance, some people are shrewd and calculating, some are willing to compromise, and some are seeking personal gain with power, but as long as the overall interests are not damaged, who will care?

The tree is large and has dead branches.

Yu Shande returned home, opened a set of tattered clothes hidden in a cage, and looked at them intently for a long time.

From then on, there was no Hanlin Academy lecturer Yu Shande in Shengjing. Only his hometown suffered a disaster, and he fled to Beijing with thousands of refugees.

…

The news from the imperial court was delivered to King Wu Mu in Liancheng in just three days, and spread at an alarming speed throughout the northern border and even the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Under the court's deliberate publicity, Princess Shaoyi became a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of thousands of refugees and a bright light, guiding the direction of life for those desperate refugees waiting for death.

Large numbers of refugees began to flock to the north.

At the same time, the news that Princess Shaoyi was in Liancheng and united with some retail sericulture farmers in Liancheng to develop sericulture farms in Fuzhen and Liancheng to resettle the refugees also spread among the refugees.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees were moved and cried bitterly.

Everyone is crying, crying that they have been displaced all the way and suffered from hunger and cold before they fled here. Since then, they have been homeless and have nowhere to stay.

Now someone tells them.

Shaoyi County mainly promotes sweet potato cultivation in the three provinces of Liaodong.

They can raise silkworms, exchange silk for grain, support their families, and settle down in this drought-free place.

Liancheng had little cultivated land and many mountains and forests. Even if they had no land, Princess Shaoyi and King Wu Mu still found a way out for them.

They won't starve to death.

In the sad atmosphere, no one knew who was hoarse and shouted: "Princess Shaoyi, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old..."

Just as a stone stirred up a thousand waves, people kept kneeling down and shouting——

"Princess Shaoyi, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old..."

"King Wu Mu, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old..."

The refugees have not forgotten who took them in and provided them with meals when they were desperately waiting to die.

Nor will they forget, who grew the sweet potatoes they depended on every day?

Who donated the medicines they took after getting sick and the medicines used to prevent diseases?

…

The four heads of the family, Qiao, Zhang, Zhao, and Wan, looked ashen as death. They took in and resettled the refugees in order to stabilize the internal situation and stabilize the external situation. It was a national policy to strengthen the borders and keep out the external forces.

Princess Shaoyi expanded the rules of sericulture and resettled the refugees, which became a national policy.

The imperial court issued a clear order requiring full support from the northern gentry.

Those who disobey orders will be punished as disorderly administration.

The imperial court personally handed over a butcher knife to deal with the gentry into the hands of King Wu Mu.

From now on, King Wu Mu will not be controlled by the gentry because of his status as a vassal king.

King Wu Mu covers the sky with one hand in the north, and those gentry who have offended King Wu Mu will not end well.

There was dead silence in the room.

The four families control Liancheng's sericulture business together. They have a cooperative relationship on the surface, but privately they are fighting openly and secretly, and there are many conflicts. Whenever the four people meet, they always quarrel.

It was the first time it was so quiet.

The head of the Qiao family has a short temper and can't stand this quiet and solemn atmosphere: "Speak, aren't you quite eloquent? Why are you acting like a mute now?"

The head of the Zhang family glanced at him and stabbed him angrily: "You do what you say, but you don't even look down on the dignified Princess Shaoyi."

The head of the Qiao family thought of what he had said before: "A daughter of a foreign minister has really acted like a princess, which is embarrassing for her."

His old face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know whether it was from anger or annoyance. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows and was about to retaliate, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back alive.

The head of the Zhao family saw that he was holding back his anger and his face turned purple. He sneered: "The imperial court issued a national policy of sheltering and resettling refugees, pacifying the inside and pacifying the outside world, and strengthening the borders to protect the outside world. They also brought Emperor Gaozu out. And the person leading all of this is Mr. Yu Ge, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, what does this mean?"

The head of the Qiao family had a livid face and shut his mouth tightly.

Why were they afraid of Princess Shaoyi before, but didn't take her seriously?

That's because, as Princess Shaoyi is a female, she has a noble status, can she still interfere with the imperial court? As long as they don't offend them on the surface and adhere to the etiquette of respect and inferiority, what can a princess do to them if they should be fooled?

but!

Princess Shaoyi had just arrived in the north, intending to expand the scale of sericulture and resettle the refugees. The imperial court issued corresponding national policies, and the person in charge of everything was none other than Yu Ge, who held a high position in the court of the Yu family. old.

If you say that all this has nothing to do with Princess Shaoyi, you won't believe it even if you beat him to death.

This shows what?

It shows that Princess Shaoyi plays an important role in the Yu clan.

This further illustrates the importance the palace attaches to Princess Shaoyi.

This shows that the current status of Princess Shaoyi is enough to influence Chao Gang.

The head of the Wan family gave a wry smile and sighed softly: "Princess Shaoyi really gave the gentry in the north a show of strength."

The head of the Zhang family also said: "Isn't that right? She has the Yu clan in the court to pave the way for her, she has King Wu Mu to support her in the north, and there are millions of victims behind her to support her. Who dares to say that she is not good? From now on. She will be unfavorable in the north, no matter what she wants to do, the gentry will hold their noses to make way for her, and even support her if necessary, otherwise," when he said this, there was a slight chill in his heart: "King Wu Mu is different from the past, and there are tens of millions of victims in the north, and even one spittle can drown them."

Gentlemen value their reputation.

The wealthy gentry values ​​fame and fortune.

People say "terrible", these four words are closely related to the reputation of the gentry. Once the people's spearhead is aimed at the gentry, they will give King Wu Mu the opportunity to deal with it justly.

The person who truly mastered the weapon against the gentry was Princess Shaoyi.

No one in the entire Zhou Dynasty dared to offend her.

Even including the Tian family clan.

Patriarch Qiao looked impatient: "Let's talk about it, what should we do now?"

The head of the Zhao family looked helpless: "Why don't we go to the magistrate's office tomorrow together and ask Mr. Li to take us to the inn to meet Princess Shaoyi and express our loyalty to Princess Shaoyi. What do you think?"

Showing loyalty is nothing more than giving more money and food to help Princess Shaoyi resettle the refugees.

There are as many as 150,000 refugees outside the city.

After the imperial court issued a national policy to accommodate refugees, a large number of refugees from the north flocked to the north. The northwest region was affected by large-scale disasters. Only the three provinces of Liaodong were able to resettle the refugees. The government's food stocks were limited, and King Wu Mu could not He has been using military services to provide relief to the victims.

To put it bluntly, let the gentry provide money and silver.
