After the wedding, Zhu Shuzhen moved into Luyuan, which is the largest yard in the royal palace. The houses are all in the form of Jiangnan, which makes her feel like she is going home, but she is not happy because they have been married for ten days.

, but he did not perform the rituals of Duke Zhou. The prince returned to the bedroom almost every day in the middle of the night. He often either got drunk or was too tired to say anything, or he was not used to it, and he would go to bed alone.

Zhu Shuzhen thought it was the prince who worked hard for the wedding and felt tired, so she didn't take it seriously. However, after moving to the inner courtyard, the prince did not live with her, but quietly moved into the plum garden. The two of them had the chance to meet.

There are fewer people, let alone couples talking at night, which makes her feel very cold and makes her suspect that the prince hides a charm in the golden house and has a new love...

The plum garden was built in the Xiangyi Wangfu Winter Garden. Because several plum trees were planted in the courtyard, Zhao Xiao called it the plum garden to show the difference. In order to facilitate communication with the outer courtyard, a corner gate was built to connect to the outer courtyard. It turned out that it was

Zhao Xin led the inner guard to serve here. After he left, Wangfu temporarily took over as the commander of the guard. Moreover, after the prince's wedding, there were many more female relatives in the inner mansion, and it was inconvenient for the inner guard to enter and exit, so all the guards were replaced by eunuchs.

After Huang Jingchen returned to the capital, he sent back Xifu and others whom the prince had lent him, which was enough. However, the corner gate connected to the outer courtyard was still guarded by the inner guard, and the other people who lived in the garden were just about ten young Huang who worked as servants.

There was no female family member in the door.

Zhao Qi moved here not entirely to hide from Zhu Shuzhen, because there were still a large amount of information and books he collected. When he was married, people were sent to his mansion to congratulate him everywhere. Since he was in charge of Hedong, he has been like this.

Many people rarely get together. It just so happened to take this opportunity to discuss something, so after the wedding, these people were still stranded in the royal palace, waiting for the prince's question.

"What's the situation in Hedong now?" Zhao Qi asked. The people coming from the northwest this time were Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhong, Xu Hong, Zhang Que and others.

"Prince, although most of Hedong had not been warned last year, the loss was also great because of the Western Expedition, and the taxes were greatly reduced. The war was quelled this year. It is expected that it will be better. This Western Expedition, we recovered several states, but

Due to the war, the people of the Han and Han dynasties fled. A large number of fertile fields became homeless and no one was able to cultivate them. Although we recruited some refugees to cultivate, the northwest was vast and sparsely populated, and it was difficult to recruit more people. There were still many fertile fields.

It was deserted, but after February, somehow a large number of refugees from Jiangnan flocked to Hedong and Lingxia areas!" Xu Hong said.

"Haha, Judge Xu, more people will enter Hedong later. You must be prepared!" Zheng Fu said with a smile.

"Oh. Why is this?" Xu Hong asked in surprise.

"After learning about the civil unrest in the southeast, the prince had already sent us to pay attention to collecting information on the movements of refugees. Although many people followed the thieves in this civil unrest, many people were unwilling to join. In order to raise military wages and food, the thief

The people along the way were plundered, causing many people to be displaced and fled to Jiangbei. We followed the prince's plan. We promoted the victory in the northwest and seized a large number of fertile land, but no one cultivated it. When we got there, the government distributed farm tools and divided the fields. We could go to shelter, so

All the desperate people heading northwest!" Zheng Fu said.

"Oh. So it's all the arrangements of the prince. How many people will arrive in the future?" Xu Hong said suddenly, secretly admiring in his heart. The prince is really far-sighted and can turn decay into magic. He can change civil wars and flee everywhere.

The refugees are even more troublesome to the government. If they are not done well, new civil unrest will arise. The prince solved the problem of population shortage in the northwest and the problem of refugees having nowhere to go.

"The civil war in the southeast has affected six prefectures and 52 counties, and the population involved is tens of millions. Now, Taiwei Tong has led his troops to the southeast and has recovered Hangzhou and other places. The thief fled to his hometown. The riots will soon be quelled, but many of them have been

The thief, the people who follow the thief will inevitably worry about the revenge of the government and will definitely stay away from home, and the northwest will also be a good place. I am afraid that there will be no less than 200,000 people entering later!" Zhao Qi said, historical records, Tong

Guan suppressed Fang La's uprising and killed millions of thieves. It was bloody. People who were scared away must be indispensable. At that time, it was not like now that they could pursue fugitives online. As long as they ran to remote places and changed their names and surnames, no one would know.

The Northwest is now the first choice for fugitives, not to mention that at that time, Zhao Qi concluded that more people would come in.

"Prince, so many people suddenly flooded into Hedong. Although it solved the population problem, it also brought great pressure to Hedong. How to arrange so many people and how to solve the problem of food and clothing?" Xu Hong thought about the influx of so many people, and the government's

The ability is limited and Hedong is not rich. If it is not solved well, it will still cause turmoil.

"After all, these problems are still money problems. There are two ways to solve them now. One is to ask the court for money. I think Master He must have done this." Zhao Qiong said.

"Yes, the court exempted Hedong from taxes for one year, Hezhong from taxes for three years, and allocated 100,000 stones of grain, but this is also a drop in the bucket and I can't hold on for much time!" Xu Hong said.

"Well, the other is to attract wealthy businessmen from all over the world to go to the northwest and borrow chickens to lay eggs!" Zhao Qiong said, "We still have salt in the northwest. The court canceled the Ministry of Justice, which left us room for performance, another large area

The land is also attractive to those rich and powerful men. They will not miss this opportunity to make a fortune. It depends on us to guide you!”

"Prince, after you left, the court sent many officials to the northwest. These people collected a large amount of land into state-owned under the name of expanding the land and then auctioned it on a large scale. We did not get much benefit!" Xu Hong said.

"Hmph, I expected that they would not let go of the fat meat in their mouths!" Zhao Qiong said with a sneer, "If we want to stabilize the northwest and ensure border security, we still have to rely on the civil and military camps. They occupied the fields.

, You are here in the name of military farming. I don’t need to say more about how it works. If you don’t understand, you can ask us Zhang Queda’s shopkeeper and Wei Bochu, they are both experts!"

"Haha, listening to the prince's words is better than reading for ten years. Don't worry, everyone knows how to do it!" Xu Hong smiled. The prince used poison to fight poison. It depends on who has better methods. These people have been taught by the prince for many years.

How to not understand the meaning!

"Prince, your wedding has been finished. When will you return to Hedong? Now we have no leader and many foreign tribes have just surrendered. You have been away for a long time, and you are afraid that there will be recurrence!" Xu Hong said.

"If you want me to know Hedong, you must not say such words, especially in front of outsiders, otherwise I will never return to Hedong in my life!" Zhao Qiong said.

"Why did the prince say this? From Hedong to Hezhong, those foreign tribes dare not speak loudly as long as they hear the prince's name. Besides, the loyal and brave army is now famous and full of arrogant soldiers and generals. Who can do this in the Song Dynasty?

Control?" Zhang Que asked in confusion.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you are obsessed with money. You need to learn more about things in the officialdom!" Xu Hong patted Zhang Que's shoulder and said.

"This... is what I said wrong? This is the fact. Who can use the Zhongyong Army? Zhao Zhong, do you think so?" Zhang Que was confused. Isn't it good to say the prince a bit more powerful?

"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you want to raise a scoundrel dog that you ask him to bite whoever you want, or a fierce tiger that wants to bite whoever you want to bite whoever you want to bite?" Zhao Zhong asked without judging whether he was right or wrong.

"Of course I want to keep an obedient dog. If a tiger is disobedient, it will be bitten to death if it doesn't do it... Oh, I understand!" Zhang Qi replied immediately, but as he said it, he suddenly thought of something

, looked at Zhao Zhong and smiled, "You kid dig a hole and let me jump. You look like you are honest and honest, but I think you are so mean!"

"Hehe, I dare not be a good person. I still have a long way to go before the prince!" Zhao Zhong said with a smile.

"Okay, stop joking. It's time for you to go back to Hedong. Zhao Zhong, take these letters back and let them do as they please!" Zhao Xiaorang held a box and handed it to Zhao Zhong.

"Prince, you wrote a letter to everyone. Have you prepared for it? Don't you really want to abandon us?" Zhao Zhong opened the box and saw that the senior generals of the Zhongyong Army almost all had a letter, and there were thick inside.

Da, he said half-jokingly.

"Cough..." Zhao Qiong's face turned red. These letters were exactly the explanation he wrote when he was about to leave, and now he has only made a little change.

"Nonsense, why did the prince abandon us? This only means that the prince might live in the capital for a while!" As soon as Zhao Zhong finished speaking, Zhao Zhi immediately saw the prince's discomfort. Although he did not know the truth, he also vaguely.

Feeling something happened, I quickly put my words in order.

"Zhao Zhi said it right. Now some people in the court don't want me to go back, so they came up with such a trick as a big wedding. They took the opportunity to divide and disintegrate, win over the loyal and brave army and our people, and destroy us to conquer Hedong.

The foundation is to cut off my wings, then control the northwest, and control the loyal and brave army. I am a tiger without minions and can only be at their mercy, so I am afraid I can't go back to Hedong for the time being!" Zhao Qi just went down the steps and said

.

"Don't worry, Prince, I can't guarantee anything else. If someone in the Zhongyong Army dares to betray the prince, I will kill him first!" Zhao Zhi said, "But Prince, you will allocate me some food and grass first, and military pay, otherwise everyone will be hungry first!"

Dead!" He turned his face and begged.

"I can't starve you to death, I have already made arrangements and asked Manager Zhang to buy you tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the food you planted is enough for you to eat!" Zhao Qiong said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you want us to farm. Don't the Zhongyong Army?" Zhao Zhi said in surprise.

"Yes, I want to put my swords and guns into the warehouse, and let the horses go to Nanshan. If your wife and children are willing to go, you will take them all over!" Zhao Qiong said seriously.

"Okay, we will do whatever the prince wants us to do!" Xu Hong looked at the crowd of people who were so shocked that their chin was dislocated and said with a wicked smile... (To be continued...)
