Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

In the evening, Wen Jiu hurried back home and found Qiao Shinian sitting at the dining table with his head supported by one hand, seemingly thinking about something.

"Sister, I heard about what happened at noon. Are you okay?" Wen Jiu looked at Qiao Shinian. Seeing Qiao Shinian stand up to greet him and there seemed to be nothing wrong, he finally put his heart at ease.

Qiao Shinian shook his head and turned to look at the maid next to him: "Hongye, tell the kitchen to bring the dishes up."

Ji Lanzhou stood aside and looked at Qiao Shinian. He knew that there were experts around Qiao Shinian.

At this time, there was no one else in the hall. Qiao Shinian glanced at Ji Lanzhou and said, "Guard Ji, you can either sit down and eat with us, or stay outside."

There was something wrong with Qiao Shinian today. Wen Jiu looked at her cautiously, wanting to say something, but he didn't know why Qiao Shinian was wrong.

Ji Lanzhou glanced at Wen Jiu and quietly retreated outside.

"sister."

Wen Jiu felt a little guilty, like a child who was about to be judged by his parents, and felt uneasy.

Qiao Shinian took a deep breath and suppressed the look that made her feel uneasy. She raised her eyes and looked at Wen Jiu: "Today's incident was a bit serious. I can't ignore it."

"Why do you treat their families in such a cruel way? I understand your idea of ​​wiping out the roots, but I can't understand your action. It's like..."

It’s like a cannibalistic feudal society that wants to squeeze every last bit of value out of people.

Wen Jiu wanted to say something else to ease the atmosphere, and then he sat next to Qiao Shinian: "Death is very simple. Living in pain can teach those people a lesson. Only when they are afraid will they not commit the same mistake again. I don't believe in love persuasion. It costs a lot and takes a long time to work."

Qiao Shinian sat down and turned to look at Wen Jiu: "Do you want to tell me what you have been doing recently, or do you want me to find out what you are doing myself?"

"Destroy the entire family." Wen Jiu said these two words lightly.

Qiao Shinian's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Wen Jiu and asked, "Why do you do this?"

"They disobeyed my decision." Wen Jiu took Qiao Shinian's hand and said softly, "Sister, don't worry, I won't become a bad person. With you around, I will never become an inhuman person."

"Yeah." Qiao Shinian stared at Wen Jiu. She knew there was nothing wrong with what Wen Jiu did, but she didn't agree with it in her heart.

The hall fell silent for a moment, and Qiao Shinian finally said, "You have your reasons for doing this, but I don't agree with it. I try to understand you, but I can't stand on your side completely. If one day I think that you and I are not on the same path, then we can only go our separate ways."

Qiao Shinian suddenly discovered that when he was not paying attention, Wen Jiu had changed a lot. When he could say the word "annihilate the whole family" so casually, Qiao Shinian couldn't help but tremble.

When had he become so cruel, so frightening and strange?

It was Wen Jiu who was sitting in front of her! It was Wen Jiu!

During the meal, Wen Jiu diligently picked up dishes for Qiao Shinian. Ji Lanzhou, who was eating at the table next to him, was very surprised by Wen Jiu's behavior.

He didn't understand why a prince would be so caring and overly respectful to a woman, to the point of disregarding his face.

"Sister, the Jiang family and I have been at odds recently, so you should go out less recently. If you want to go out, bring more people with you." Wen Jiu reminded her while taking a walk after dinner.

Qiao Shinian nodded.

"Wen Jiu, don't do things to the extreme. Leave people a chance of survival." Qiao Shinian advised, "You are a prince, and your every word and action is watched by people. If you do this, people in the world will say that you are violent. They will stay away from you, be afraid of you, and dare not approach you."

"What does that matter?" Wen Jiu sneered, then turned to Qiao Shinian and said, "As long as you are by my side, I will never feel lonely. I only care about your thoughts."

Qiao Shinian felt helpless about what Wen Jiu said: "Wen Jiu, you have to get married and start a family eventually. We can just pretend outside, but don't say such misleading things at home, otherwise it will be troublesome to explain later."

Wen Jiu shrugged, indicating that it didn't matter.

Before the autumn harvest, the Jiang family was gone.

Qiao Shinian did not have a deep impression of the Jiang family. She came into contact with a lot of people on a daily basis, including dignitaries, ordinary people, and all kinds of people.

Her place is like a transit station. Those who want to get close to Wen Jiu, want Wen Jiu's support, or want to rely on Wen Jiu usually come to her to give gifts and do favors.

In Yun County, there seemed to be fewer and fewer people who were at odds with Wen Jiu, and the rumors that were unfavorable to Wen Jiu were also becoming less and less, and had almost disappeared.

Before the autumn harvest, Wen Jiu announced two policies for recruiting workers for the coming year in the name of Prince Yongle:

First: When the Yongle Palace is recruiting workers next year, priority will be given to those whose children are in school (children in school means that the children have basic etiquette knowledge, and their families must also want reasonable people. Yongle King hates people who are unreasonable and have no rules)

Second: Recruitment also depends on the family environment. Those who respect and love their wives will be given priority. Those who beat or scold their wives and children will be demoted from formal employees to temporary workers recruited in different time periods.

Third: The Yongle Palace will be recruiting for the following positions next year: farming, weaving and embroidery, commerce, guarding, breeding, doctors, cooks... As long as you think you are capable of doing a certain job, you can sign up for that job, and both men and women can be admitted.

Fourth: In addition to the above conditions, those who do not have children at home can also be admitted as long as they meet the second condition. If you are unmarried, you can also be admitted as long as you have good conduct, but if you find that you have bad conduct, you will be expelled immediately and will not be admitted again.

As soon as this announcement was released, the entire Yunzhou was in an uproar.

Everyone thought that Prince Yongle was hysterical. Since ancient times, women have been at home taking care of their husbands and children. How could they go out to work? Not to mention that guards and doctors have always been men's positions since ancient times.

However, the other counties were making a lot more noise, while Yun County seemed dead silent. After all, Wen Jiu's actions in the previous two months made the people of Yun County dare not refute, for fear of provoking this living devil who could kill entire families in peace.

I don't know who it was, but I remembered that Wen Jiu had initially disregarded the royal image and joined everyone in farming and digging reservoirs. At that time, some people laughed at Wen Jiu and said he was a kid who knew nothing and just thought it was fun.

No one dares to think so now.

Originally, some people were close to Wen Jiu and thought that he was a good prince who was approachable and had no airs. But now, no one dared to think so. No one knew whether their family would be implicated if they did something wrong.

After all, they could still vividly remember the scene during the road construction when Wen Jiu killed someone in front of them and coldly said that his entire family would be exiled to the military camp.

Wen Jiu completely eliminated dissidents with bloody means in just half a year, which made officials from other counties write letters to the capital and ask the people they had joined for future regulations.
