I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 83 After Autumn, Hundreds of Flowers Kill

Lin Yi was helpless.

 He thinks he is a eloquent person, and he is also very smooth-talking!

Talk too much, and you even annoy your own mother!

Chatty, not manly at all.

 Why can't you speak suddenly?

"The curved moon is a small boat, and the two ends of the small boat are pointed. I sit in the small boat, and all I see is the twinkling stars and the blue sky."

When Lin Yi was bored, he sang a children's song.

You can't sing "Eighteen Touches" and don't pick wild flowers on the roadside, right?

 Looking like you are rude, uneducated, and tasteless!

 “Can you sing?”

  She looked at him happily.

 “Do you like to hear it?”

“I only know how to hang out with plum blossoms in the snow every year,”

Yan Shiqi suddenly sighed and said, "I haven't seen snow yet. They say the snow in the north is very beautiful, white, like salt grains."

"But it will freeze people to death." Lin Yi answered.

 “You forgot again!

I am a fourth-grade expert! Yan Shiqi said proudly, "I'm not afraid of the cold!" "

"Yeah?"

Lin Yi finally recalled that in winter, he was wrapped in a mink coat, while Mingyue Zixia and the others only wore skirts, and he still cared about whether they were cold or not.

 They didn’t even take it seriously!

Now it seems that I worry too much.

"Miss"

A woman's voice was shouted in the distance, her voice hoarse and anxious.

Yan Shiqi sighed, "I have to go."

Without waiting for Lin Yi to respond, he drifted away.

Lin Yi could only stare at her back in a daze.

 At this point, he has to climb the mountain once a day.

 It’s a pity that I never saw her again.

 Spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

 The people plowing in the spring are out in the field, and the farm tools are already standing on the mountain.

 Sanhe started planting the first season of rice.

 The beautiful road smells like urine caused by cattle and sheep.

 The most obvious thing is that the number of students in the school has been reduced by half. There are children from local families and children from refugees.

Both Xie Zan and He Jixiang gave repeated orders not to play truant, but to no avail.

Their parents felt that it would be a pity not to go home and farm the land after learning martial arts.

Lin Yi was also helpless.

Even in modern society, there is still autumn harvest holiday!

What’s more, in the world before us, children aged eleven or twelve are used as prime laborers.

But these are all trivial matters. The grain and money in his warehouse flowed out like water.

　　It is said to be a loan, but who knows whether these people will pay it back in the end?

He Jixiang's road construction project was temporarily stopped as a last resort. Money was processed repeatedly, but no craftsmen came to work.

 No matter what, the land at home is fundamental.

The only people left on the construction site are some reform-through-labor prisoners.

He Jixiang could only use this limited labor force to repair the bridge.

On this day of hasty completion, what he did not expect was that there were so many people on both sides of the strait.

 After the fence was removed, bees crowded onto the bridge, and they were all densely packed with human heads.

Some people were so idle that they rode their mules back and forth five or six times.

 Isn’t it spring plowing?

Are you all so free?

He Jixiang is worried that the bridge will collapse.

 After all, it is newly built, and some places are not yet solid and thorough.

 When the time comes, I will be embarrassed and will not be able to explain myself to the prince.

 In the end, we had no choice but to arrange for people to stand guard on both sides of the strait and line up to get on the bridge.

 In short, the day when the bridge was opened was the happiest day ever for the residents of Baiyun City.

This bridge has truly solved the historic difficulty of crossing the river between the two sides.

From now on, you can reach the other side without the help of sampans or bamboo rafts!

Lin Yi followed the crowd into the southeast bank for the first time.

 Obviously, this place is much more deserted than the north coast.

There is not a single decent house, and most of them are shacks that can barely provide shelter from the wind and rain, with only thatch and banana leaves on them.

 This means that there is also a lot of uncultivated wasteland.

Xie Zan once again organized manpower to measure the acres of land, and the militia team patrolled and prohibited the unauthorized occupation of acres.

 Sanhe is the private property of Prince He.

 No one said it, but everyone gradually acquiesced in their hearts.

However, the more spring plowing occurs, the more things happen, and unexpected situations always happen.

 After Wang Xing asked the prince for instructions, Sanhe added another regulation: it is illegal to not pay wages.

Especially those squire and landlords, who exploited their employees, even second-generation ancestors like Wang Xing could not look forward to it.

 Many squire and landowners are already over fifty years old, and it is no longer possible to go to the labor camp.

Lin Yi had them **** and paraded through the streets.

They must understand what shame is.

 “Rebellious son!”

Wang Cheng looked at Wang Xing as if he didn't recognize his son.

　　I have offended so many people at once, and we are still old friends!

There is no room for his old face!

How will you behave in the future?

Wang Xingpei smiled and said, "If you don't offend them, you have to offend the prince. I hope my father will decide which one is more serious."

"Hey," Wang Cheng knew that what his son said was right, "but if others didn't tell me, how could you, Uncle Wen, be so insulting?"

"Dad, the prince and I didn't arrest you because it was for the sake of the child."

Wang Xing sighed.

 Other homes are not clean.

How could his Wang family be clean?

 “What about the Yan family?”

Wang Cheng said angrily, "Yan Zhen bullies men and dominates women, and does all kinds of evil!"

Wang Xingyou complained, "This is my father's fault. Who told you not to give me a good sister?"

 Wang Cheng was stunned.

 In the end, there was nothing left to say.

In addition to the Yan family being kept in the dark, it is no longer a secret that Prince He is interested in the concubine of the Yan family.

 The others can only stare and express envy!

　　A concubine can get a chance to get close to the prince, even a fool knows how to do it!

Lin Yi’s action against wage arrears was successful this time.

As long as the squires and landlords wanted to save face, they all paid their employees' wages.

 It’s just that his reputation as “unkind” has spread in Sanhe.

 It is still these country gentry and landowners who control the direction of public opinion.

 I am so angry that I want to arrest people.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "There is a saying, how do you say it, seize the mouth of a swallow from mud, whet iron or something?"

Wang Qingbang said, "I snatched the clay swallow's mouth, whittled the iron needle, scraped the golden Buddha's face and searched carefully, and found nothing.

Quails hunt for peas in their crops, quails chop the meat from their legs, and mosquitoes eat fat from their bellies.

 Thanks to the old man for taking action! "

He Jixiang said, "The prince is indeed very knowledgeable!"

"praise me?"

Lin Yi said proudly, “This word can describe these country gentry and landlords, none of them are a good thing.

 The fact that they scolded me just proves that I did the right thing.

　　It would be dangerous if you flatter me. "

Wang Qingbang said, "The prince is still open-minded, and I feel ashamed."

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "No, keep it in mind first, and then slowly let them understand that the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, and don't live too arrogantly."

 “Your Majesty is wise!”

Wang Qingbang smiled bitterly.

 He can always guess the beginning, but never the end.

However, I also feel that it is natural.

This prince is not a generous person from the inside out.

 The most admirable thing is that the appearance is the same as the inside!

The sun is shining brightly.

 Seven large ships docked in the Xijiang River, once again causing a sensation in the city.

 It’s not because of how much goods Tian Shiyou brought back or how much money he made.

 The sea is never calm. Occasionally, if there is success, a dozen boats will go out and one or two boats will come back.

It is unheard of and unseen that someone like Tian Shiyou escaped unscathed and safe!

The capital commander began to auction the shipping license, and the one with the highest price got it.

 He Wangfu gave a guarantee that Sanhe Southeast would be unobstructed.

 Few people believed it, so in the first so-called auction, the license only sold for 30,000 taels of silver.

 The winner is Liang Gen who has a mine at home.

Lin Yi didn’t care, at least he had a pretty good start.

Lin Ning sent the letter as usual.

Lin Yi didn't have much sense of expectation anymore. He was just going over and over again with court affairs that were very boring to him.

 So, he didn't bother to read it himself and handed it over directly to Wang Qingbang.

Wang Qingbang’s expression changed drastically.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yi yawned.

“The Holy Lord ordered General Yuan Ang to be the main general and King Yong to be the deputy general to enter Chuzhou to put down the rebellion!”

Wang Qingbang handed the translated note to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't answer, waved his hand and said, "So what?"

 “That’s what the prince said.”

After Wang Qingbang finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer at the palace and hurriedly went to find old men like Xie Zan.

The rise of King Yong is not a good thing for old men like them.
