Zhancheng South

It is just a joke to say that they will go and have a look. They have no way to get a way to safely pass through the dense forest from those who purchase rough stones. Those people will not be willing to give it to them. The fear is that the people of the country in the south of Yunnan will one day be able to cross the dense forest. , I am afraid that it will become another hidden danger for the Han people in the Central Plains. They may have the ability to cross the dense forest, but at least not now.

When He Yan heard Han Jin ask whether he wanted to go and have a look, he refused without thinking, but then he heard Han Jin say: "Guess, if we have traveled so far, will His Majesty the Emperor know our whereabouts?"

Kazuhiko narrowed his eyes and replied, "You mean..."

The atmosphere between these two people can only be felt if there are outsiders watching from the side. This is obviously a thousand-year-old vixen who has to compare himself!

After the conversation that day, Han Jin and He Yan would get up early every day to watch the excitement in the jade stone workshop on Nanerli Street for half a day, and occasionally they would take a gamble when they felt the mood, which was not a huge profit. But there was no loss. The two of them gambled not much, and occasionally they would get a good green. They hid their whereabouts for the rest of the time, but they also faintly revealed that they were going to gain knowledge around the dense forest. There were only two of them, not very noticeable, but people who followed them knew their whereabouts, and because the two of them would change places to play for two days from time to time, it really seemed that they were going out to have fun.

Just spent more than two months in southern Yunnan before heading back to Jinling. Now everything is ready, the only thing missing is Nanliang's relief, and the peace and prosperity of the people in the world, Haiyan and Heqing.

After returning to Jinling, He Yan and the old housekeeper made a calculation and decided to sell the mansion in Jinling for money. The whole family left the place, saying to the outside world that the unworthy nephew in the family owed foreign debts and had to ask Uncle Li for money. Selling the mansion of the master's family, this old bone suffers from this homelessness, the old housekeeper is a loyal servant, who has worked hard for the Hefu all his life, the master's family is dead, and the side branches have left Jinling long ago for fear of causing trouble to the upper body. Only the old butler, a servant and a house were left, and the right to dispose of it was naturally in the hands of the old butler.Change to another place, hide your name and start again, and live a stable life for a few days.

There is no need for a village that is too remote, a town that is not too prosperous is just right, the house in Jinling City sold for a lot of money, but the four of them bought a small yard from the town, rented a storefront, and re- When they started doing business, they fell in love with Huarong Town, which is not too far from Jinling City. The name and the town complement each other, and the women on the street are indeed beautiful.

People in the town heard that two brothers had come to this family. The elder brother was a businessman. The family suffered a disaster and only uncle and a cousin were left. The four of them had little money left, so they could only stay here temporarily.

I heard that the three brothers have never been married, the cousins ​​are not very good, they are taciturn and honest, and they are barely handsome, and the eldest brother is a bit older, a 27-year-old man, who has never been married, always makes people think he is It's not that there is something hidden, but it's the youngest one, who is young and weak, and looks so good-looking, but it's a pity that he seems to be idle and not doing business, but he can't hold back the elder brother who is good-looking and capable, and runs the shop with gusto .

Within half a year, the girls on the street said that whoever could marry one of these brothers would be blessed.

This group of people stayed in Huarong Town for two years, and the threshold of matchmakers was broken, but no one let go. The people in the town were tolerant, but they just didn't get married, and nothing happened.

In the four years of Chong'an, Nanliang experienced a warm winter and a dry winter at the same time. This is not a good thing, and it is not known what will happen to the harvest in the coming year.

Fortunately, there has been no war between Nanliang and Beili, and they have been living in peace. Today, Nanliang is strong and the people of Beili can be educated. The agreement has long been abolished, but the price of grain and grass in Nanliang is controlled by the government, and private merchants are not allowed to drive it up. Merchants in Beili have also started to sell wool, horses, and cowhide to Nanliang to buy back grain.

Ji Cunsi is still there, and every year there are conflicts between the government, the people and businessmen on this matter, and someone above the court has written to cancel Ji Cunsi. When Han Jin first heard the news, he was quite calm and just said something "Not yet."

As the year approached the end of the year, He's family secretly held a happy event that not many people knew about, He Yan and Han Jin's.

Speaking of which, there was no need for any ceremony, but He Yan's parents hadn't paid homage to the tablet yet. Taking advantage of the New Year's Eve, He Yan took Han Jin to the ancestral hall and paid homage three times. He Yan said: "Father and mother, your son has found his sweetheart." , brought me here to give you palm eyes, you have met him before, he is a very good person, so you don’t have to worry about me, there is only one thing, please bless us in heaven.”

Han Jin looked at He Yan and said, "Father and mother, thank you for raising such a good person."

The old housekeeper heard that the young master took the young master to the ancestral hall, and thought that it was Chinese New Year, so he should go to see the old man and his wife. From a distance, he saw two people kneeling together, and walked away with a smile. He wanted to come and talk to this family. If you think about yourself, then he won't bother you. The identities of the young master and the young master cannot be disclosed and the marriage cannot be arranged. Fortunately, they are not people who care about these secular ethics, but there must be a ceremony with someone to witness .

He Yan and Han Jin also thought the same way, but they just asked the old housekeeper to go to the cloth shop to make two red clothes. Now that the new year is approaching, the ready-made clothes will have to wait for a while. It was a big deal, I just cut a few happy words and pasted it on. There were only four people in the family, the old housekeeper and the boy who cleaned the house. He Yan and Han Jin are very satisfied with knowing the marriage that you know and I know.

In the fifth year of Chong'an, a plague of locusts broke out in the Jiangbei area of ​​Nanliang, and there was no harvest. Jicunsi was robbed by refugees. If it is not distributed, it will be used as disaster relief food. Before the Jicun Division in other places is cancelled, the food stored by the people should be cleared, and at the same time, relief funds and disaster relief medicines will be distributed.

When Han Jin heard about this, he was writing and drawing in his study. Now that he is 23, besides a little more calmness, he also has the elegant and elegant posture of an outsider, and even more The wind of the hermit.

On the contrary, He Yan has been running the store well in the past two years. When he heard about this, he closed the store for a day and went home.

After He Yan returned home, he went to find Han Jin in the study and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Han Jin replied: "I can't control the locust plague. After so many years of rest and recuperation, if the treasury is still empty and the money for disaster relief cannot be paid out, the throne of Nanliang should have been replaced by someone else."

He Yan smiled and said, "Then what do you mean by advocating the abolition of Ji Cunsi?"

"When the people are not afraid of power, great power comes. Ji Cunsi is just an existence of power, and he shows it to Nanliang and Beili, so that they know that government orders are promulgated and administrative orders are implemented. But it can't be too much, so Natural disasters are the best moment, when the common people make troubles in peaceful and prosperous times, the rulers take advantage of natural disasters to remove the source of the disaster, while depriving the interests of the people in the disaster-stricken areas, but at the same time distributing disaster relief money, giving both kindness and power."

He Yan said: "I understand what you mean, so the next step is that Ji Cunsi will exchange grains for gold and silver?"

Han Jin said: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with us. It was a wake-up call back then, and someone in the huge court would mention it. Now if we have to say it in person, it would be too deliberate."

He Yan stretched out his hand and tugged at the ends of Han Jin's hair, still feeling soft. While listening to Han Jin's words, he felt that it was a blessing or a misfortune for such a person to live in seclusion in the mountains, and then heard Han Jin continue: "There is one more thing, Maybe we have to make a trip to Lin'an."

Kazuhiko wondered: What's the matter?

It was rare for Han Jin to see He Yan's confused appearance, so he chuckled and said, "Although the Nanliang treasury can't be called empty, I'm afraid that some people with good intentions will put their ideas on the unfounded jade mine of your family. Although we keep our names anonymous, we always Someone is still watching."

He Yan also said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I will almost forget, so when will we leave?"

Han Jin replied: "Wait a little longer, when His Majesty the Emperor appeases the people in the disaster area, and when Bei Li bows his head and becomes a minister."

"Tsk, the people of Beili have begun to pour into the Nanliang court these years, but it will take some time before Beili bows its head and proclaims its allegiance. I'm afraid it won't happen in a short time!"

Han Jin said: "There is nothing that cannot be done. The household registration system of Nanliang and Beili is almost unified. There is no barrier between marriage and funeral. There are only a few Beili people who hold their old system and refuse to let go. But how can it be against the old system?" He refuses to let go, but he cannot let go of the benefits brought by the old system, if they want it, then give it to them.”

He Yan squinted his eyes and listened to Han Jin's words with considerable enjoyment, and replied, "You mean that after the Northern Territory is divided into the territory of Nanliang, can they follow the old system?"

Han Jin smiled and said: "Why not? The northern border was included in the territory of Nanliang, and since then there has been no disturbance from other races. The government orders and laws are similar. It is just that a king with a different surname is granted, and the government orders of the fief follow their own. Those who hold power in their hands are reluctant to fight with their lives, how can they not be happy about such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

"What you said is not unreasonable. No one is willing to put their lives on the line. What's more, Nanliang's national power has become stronger and stronger in the past two years, while Beili has not made any progress. There is only one thing. How could Beili be willing to bow down and surrender? Nanliang took the lead in provoking If something happened, forcing Bei Li to surrender might backfire and force them to fight to the death."

"No, how can the children of my Han family break their promises and allow them to be my Han family? That is my Han family. It is my Han family's children who don't care about the past. They can eat and clothe warmly, and their descendants can continue. They are not grateful.

And those who have entered the academy have a place in the Nanliang court, but they still have an unclear relationship with Beili. Do you think they will persuade Beili to become a minister or let go of the future they have fought for? "

He Yan thought about it. In recent years, there have been several more forces in the court. Beili is now closely related to Nanliang. Coupled with the role of the academy, people from Beili can have Nanliang household registration after entering the academy, and pass the imperial examination. , and even the threshold is slightly lower than that of Nanliang natives, so many people are willing to give it a try.

The upstart of the poor family is still headed by Prime Minister Qi, but the powerful family has divided up the property bit by bit. Speaking of which, His Majesty the Emperor is now in charge of important military and political affairs, and the culture of the Central Plains is eroding Beili bit by bit. , now it is not very clear in terms of clothing culture.

"Just wait and see, those who are related to Nanliang or even registered in Nanliang, but still have a relationship with Beili, will not be willing to be in a dilemma, especially in recent years. Nanliang has treated these people too much. Well, good enough to make them forget where they belong."

"Aren't you taking this for granted? The leader of the bloody tribe in Beili will definitely not be willing to do so."

Han Jin smiled and said, "Have you forgotten who the king of Beili is? Back then, most of the family members of the famous grassland tribes in Beili joined Nanliang, and Xia Mengyu single-handedly divided their rights, which happened to be treated with courtesy by Nanliang." , They are always to be courtiers, so naturally they will stand on the side that benefits more."

This is a bit too heartless and ungrateful, but the fact is that Xia Mengyu wants the barbarians to integrate into the blood of the Han family, so naturally he has to pay a price. Nanliang can't accept Beili, and in the end it will become the root cause of the country's disaster , so at the very beginning, there were people from Beili who took the lead and acted as bargaining chips connecting the blood of Nanliang and Beili.

In this way, those who come from the junction of the two countries will inevitably fall to the powerful country. They are all Li people and no one wants to fight. When the time comes, when the letter of surrender arrives, Bei Li will follow the trend and it will be regarded as an achievement for Nan Liang. Achieved a thousand years of achievements.
