Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 978 Not enough food

Yuan Zhao came to an end in the fourth year. Li Xin and several brothers spent the New Year in Qiyang County. At this time, outside the Northern Border Pass of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yuwen Zhao, the king of Yan in a purple robe, held a copper telescope in his hand. , is looking at Yunzhou City not far away.

Over the years, the technology of making glass in Dajin has gradually matured. Telescopes are no longer a rare thing that can only be ground with top-quality water jade, but this thing is still under the official control of the Dajin court because of its great effect on the battlefield. , Yu Wenzhao spent a lot of money unjustly in order to get such a telescopic mirror.

   But the telescopic mirror is really easy to use. It has only been more than half a year in his hands, and it is about to be pulped.

   Yu Wenzhao slowly put down the monocular telescopic mirror in his hand, and looked at the standing Yunzhou City with a thoughtful gaze.

Behind him stood the eldest son Yuwendi, Yuwendi saw his father put down the telescopic mirror and said: "Father, the Ji family court is very dissatisfied with our harassment of their border, and has issued an imperial decree to appeal to the father, saying that if the border If there is another mischief by our department, in the spring of next year, the Jin Dynasty will use its swords and soldiers to expedition our department in the north."

   "Northern Expedition?"

Yu Wenzhao stroked his beard and said with a sneer: "Now there is a Li Changan in the southwest, who has contained more than 100,000 troops of the Ji family, and their Gyeonggi forbidden army can't move lightly, why do they go north? Rely on that kid from the Ji family. a mouth?"

  Yuwendi stood with his hands down and remained silent.

Yu Wenzhao picked up the telescopic mirror again and looked into the distance, then reached out and wiped off the dust on the telescopic mirror with his sleeve, put it back in his arms, looked back at his eldest son, and said, "I have already let it go. Did you find a way to contact Li Xin, have you contacted him yet?"

"No."

Yu Wendi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Father, our people are different from the Han people, the place where Mrs. Li lives, there are people from the Dajin court everywhere, it is impossible to contact him, and it is impossible to talk to him. ."

   "Then find some Han people to contact him."

   "Tell him that we only want to take back Da Zhou's homeland, as long as he is willing to cooperate with our department, after the completion of the matter, Da Zhou and him will govern by river, forever as a state of brothers and not offend each other."

   Yu Wenzhao was expressionless: "If you can't, you can go there in person. You are no different from the Han people."

After the Xianbei entered the customs in the early years, most of them intermarried with Han people. Although the direct line of the royal family generally did not marry Han people as the main family, but after the demise of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, this rule did not exist. From Yuwen Chui to Yu Wenzhao, many Han people married The woman, the mother of his eldest son Yuwendi, is a Han Chinese.

   Therefore, Yuwendi has straight hair and black eyes, and looks like a Han Chinese.

  Yuwendi smiled bitterly: "Father..."

Naturally, he was reluctant to go. Before, he was risking his own life when he went to the capital. At this time, the relationship between the Yuwen Department and the imperial court had begun to deteriorate. If he went to Dajin again, he would most likely be caught by the imperial court. proton.

   And he knew very well that once he was caught as a proton, his father would not even look at him. He had more than ten brothers, and his father could not compromise anything with the Dajin court at this time because of him.

More importantly, the legendary Mrs. Li was not very friendly to the Xianbei Ministry. He went through most of the Jin Dynasty to Yongzhou to find him, and he might cut him down with a knife. The northern Xinjiang is far from Yongzhou. , There is no place to cry!

More importantly, he is the eldest son of Yu Wenzhao. If nothing else, he will inherit the Yuwen family business in the future. If his father has a "successful career", he will inherit the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the future. Naturally, it is impossible to be willing to do such a thing. Adventure thing!

  Yuwenzhao glared at his son and said coldly: "If you want to go, you can go, this thing is done, you will be the next patriarch, it can't be done..."

   Having said that, Yu Wenzhao snorted and did not say any more.

   In desperation, the "Prince Yan" could only nod helplessly, and bowed his hands deeply to his father: "My son will prepare now."

  Yu Wenzhao nodded, looked at Yunzhou City for a while, then got on his horse, and after riding for more than ten miles, returned to his royal tent.

  The king's tent of the Yuwen Department was originally very far from Yunzhou City, and adjacent to Yunzhou City was the Qigui Department of the Yuwen Department, but the Qigui Department had been annexed by Yuwenzhao, so he could be wherever he wanted.

  After returning to the king's tent, the three strong bearded men had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Yu Wenzhao come in, they all put their hands on their shoulders and saluted Yu Wenzhao.

   Yu Wenzhao didn't say much, just waved his hand lightly.

   "Everyone sit down and talk."

These people are all the leaders of the other three Yuwen clans, but they are obviously not the same people they used to be. Yuwenzhao unified the Yuwen clans, but each clan has been independent for decades, so it is not convenient for him to directly interfere with each clan. Internal affairs, so after conquering the ministries, a new leader was established among the ministries to help him govern the ministries.

After    all sat down, Yu Wenzhao glanced at the three people, and said slowly: "Everyone is here today, if there is anything, please bring it up and solve it together."

As soon as these words came out, the leader of the Buddha was the first to speak, and after saluting Yu Wenzhao, he said, "Tian Wang, the pasture is not growing well this year, there are not many animals, and there are not too many furs to exchange with the Han people. Grain, my department's grain is almost finished, I ask the king to allocate some grain to help my department through this winter..."

   Yu Wenzhao frowned deeply.

   His headquarters is not short of food for the winter, but this year the pastures are indeed not very good. There are not many animals, so there are not many animals that can be slaughtered.

  Yuwenzhao glanced around and said, "The bungalow department is short of food, can the two patriarchs provide some support?"

The leader of the Helan Department lowered his head and sighed: "To tell the truth, I originally wanted to ask the King for food, but the Buddha Department said it first, so I was embarrassed to speak, and I was ready to endure this winter. ."

   Yu Wenzhao looked at another younger leader.

The leader of the    Qigyu clan also had a wry smile on his face.

   "Tianwang, if it weren't for the inability to live, why would my department go to the vicinity of Yunzhou City to rob the Han people? How fierce are the Chong family members, it's not like you don't know about the king..."

   "Then you have no food."

  Yuwenzhao closed his eyes, and after being silent for a while, he slowly said, "This king can divide some of the food and livestock in this department and allocate it to the Buddha Department. Everyone should tighten their belts and survive this winter."

Having said that, Yu Wenzhao narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "But it's not without conditions. After the Spring Festival, the Qigui Department will allocate 10,000 people, and the Buddha and Helan Departments will each allocate 30,000 people to hand them over to the king. "

   The three leaders looked at each other and were a little surprised.

   "What does the King of Heaven want to… do?"

   Yu Wenzhao slowly exhaled.

   "Naturally, I went to grab food for the clan to eat."

   His vision was much better than these people. These people thought that the livestock and food were not enough because the pasture was not growing well, but Yuwenzhao knew very well that the livestock in this year's pasture was not much different from previous years.

  The difference is...there are more people.

  From the first year of Yuanzhao to the present, the population of Yuwenbu is growing rapidly.

   The Yan King from the northern border walked out of the king tent, half-squinted his eyes, looked towards the south, and muttered to himself.

   "Food... not enough to eat."
