Fantasy Villain: Abducting The Former Princess At The Start
Chapter Eleven Which One Of You And Me Is Not A Beast?
The next day, the officials of Guangping County received orders from the county governor.
Go to various villages and towns in Guangping County, recruit young people, and go to the county seat to build a palace in case of emergency.
Nominally, it is to prepare the place where the new emperor will stay in the palace for his future eastern tour.
This time, Guangping County recruited almost all the young men, more than 200,000 people.
For a time, the entire Guangping County was panicked.
However, the young men in the mountains did not dare to go against the will of the imperial court, so they could only bid farewell to their wives, daughters and parents silently, and came to the place where the palace was built in confusion to perform their own corvée.
But things are far from over.
In one day, Guangping County levied taxes three times in a row. The vicious tax collectors brought officers and soldiers to search for food from house to house, while the people could only watch all this silently.
After the tax collectors left arrogantly, they comforted each other in a low voice and cleaned their own house.
And he wondered how many kilograms of rice were left at home, how many days would he be able to eat, and how many days would the crops mature.
These are the common people, and these are the leaders of Qian.
They do not have the pleasure and grievances of Wandering Xia, the infatuation of the children of aristocratic families, the fame and fortune of soldiers, and the hearts of scholars and scholars.
They ploughed at sunrise, rested at sunset, and handed over half of the harvest to the imperial court, leaving only the rations they could barely make ends meet.
It is like this every day, every year, and forever.
They just want to live.
But now, even living has become a luxury.
Guangping County Governor ordered the Yellow River to divert its dike and merge into the Bohai Sea.
So far, 16 counties in Guangping County were flooded, 8,000 people were killed and injured, and more than 400,000 people were displaced. …
At the mouth of the Yellow River dyke, several officials in charge of diverting the dike from the dyke looked at this scene with complex eyes.
There are two leaders, one is the county Sima Zhou Bo, and the other is the county commander Li Xian.
"The people north of the Yellow River in Guangping County will suffer. I don't know how the people will curse me and wait..."
Li Xian, the commander of the county, sighed.
On the other hand, Zhou Bo was much calmer. He laughed at himself and flicked his official robe.
"The clothes of civil servants are embroidered with birds, and the clothes of military officers are embroidered with animals.
Put on this skin, which one of us is not a beast? "
.........
Yuezhou, Tai'an House, the residence of Jinglue.
The matter of Guangping County naturally reached the ears of Cui Lang, the military envoy of Yuezhou.
"Building a palace for His Majesty, and even diverting the route of the Yellow River, so that His Majesty can have a panoramic view of the river?"
Under the corruption of the beautiful maid, Cui Lang spit out a grape seed while listening to the report of his confidant, with a mocking expression.
"This Chu Anguo is really caring enough, not to mention that it's too early for His Majesty to tour the East, and even to say whether or not he can govern..."
As a shepherd of a state and a Cui clan of one of the seven clans, Cui Lang also knew a lot about the situation in the DPRK.
Now the imperial power is firmly in the hands of the Holy Queen. After the witchcraft case, the imperial party was swept away, and the new emperor was isolated and helpless in the imperial court, almost a puppet.
Now there are people who persuade the queen to become emperor...
However, this matter was too taboo, Cui Lang didn't want to say more, just said: "Forget it, let him go, although the Song clan loves to ignore this person, but he is also a Song clan person, don't make extra troubles. "
As for the suffering people in Guangping County, they are not in Cui Lang's consideration at all...
........
Yu Xuanji quietly left Taiqing Mountain and headed down the mountain.
She grew up in Taiqing Mountain since she was a child, and she has not been down the mountain for more than ten years...
Therefore, she didn't know much about the outside world, and at most she heard some things from her brothers and sisters when they came back from the mountain.
But those brothers and sisters are talking about slaying demons and eliminating demons, and there are not many things about people's livelihood.
It is already September, and it is already late autumn in Yuezhou. Although it is not winter, it is still very cold, and the air is filled with unpleasant gloom.
It is completely different from the four seasons like spring on Mount Taiqing.
Yu Xuanji had to put on a big cloak to resist the cold. Accompanied by Aunt Mei, he rode a carriage and drove all the way.
After half a day, he left the vicinity of Taiqing Mountain.
This is Yu Xuanji's first time going down the mountain in these years. Although she has a cold temperament, she is also a girl at heart.
Seeing the world outside Taiqing Mountain made Yu Xuanji a little excited and excited.
The outside world is also full of mountains, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the maple leaves are red, dyeing the great rivers and mountains red, and the scenery is beautiful, making Yu Xuanji think, maybe the life of the people is not so bad.
That son of Song is just exaggerating...
But soon, Yu Xuanji couldn't relax.
Because she saw some refugees curled up on both sides of the road. They seemed to be very cold, and their bodies kept shaking. Yes, in this weather, how could they not be cold when they were still wearing thin clothes?
The refugees were in ragged clothes and had dirty faces, but when they saw Yu Xuanji's carriage, no one dared to go forward to beg.
Because in their cognition, the people who ride the carriage are all nobles.
And the nobles will beat people with whips...
Yu Xuanji fell silent. She looked at the refugees on the side of the road, silent, as if a mountain was pressing down in her heart, which made her suffocated and made her breathless.
turn out to be....
What Song Gongzi said is true...
