Time flies, another two months pass, and in a blink of an eye, it is early summer in April.
These days, there are more and more women wearing gauze on the street. When Chaitino has free time, his favorite thing to do is to set up a small table facing the street and sit on a deck chair to watch the scenery.
What you can see is not only the lush fruit trees in the streets and alleys, but also the noisy and warm atmosphere of human beings.
"The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alleys sell apricot flowers in the morning."
"The short paper is laid out diagonally, making grass leisurely, and the fine breasts are playing with tea under the clear window."
"What a beautiful day this is!"
Taking a sip of spring tea from the clay pot, Chaitino was filled with emotions.
Since Tushan's meeting in the blessed land, many major events have happened in these days, the most important ones being the Five Prefectures and Shahe County.
Influenced by Chaitian Nuo's theory, Emperor Tianqi issued an edict, and the two places began to be rebuilt like Zhili. The corpses were cleaned up and the people relocated. All criminals were exempted from crime, and corvee taxes were exempted for fifty years!
The escaped original residents returned in large numbers, and words of thanks to Emperor Tianqi could be heard everywhere in Shahe County.
As for the land of the five states, it is a different story.
After all, those who were hanged by Shahe County were all rebels, and the people were innocent. However, the people of the five states were all criminals, subject to the arrest and control of the world, and countless people were killed for various reasons.
According to exhaustive statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, there were only less than 60,000 criminals left in the country, and they were all moved back.
Chai Tiannuo went to Zhili specifically to see the returned criminals. They were unkempt, sallow, and skinny. Under the care of the guards, they walked away with a blank look on their faces.
Even though the relocation officials from the Ministry of Revenue explained repeatedly, there was still no joy on their faces.
What I have been through these past few years has been like being in hell. I have very few family members and it is not a blessing to be alive.
There were many passers-by watching and seeing each other on the roadside. They were all people who sympathized with the plight of the criminals. After so many years of suffering, the criminals were finally pardoned, which made them both sad and happy.
At that time, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs saw Doctor Guanglu standing by the roadside and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Chai Tiannuo asked him, had the five states built houses and prepared rice and noodles for these criminals?
Are the relevant protections in place during this migration?
The chief officer raised his hand, pointed at a man in official uniform next to the migration team, and said with a wry smile:
"Don't worry, sir. The entire process of relocation of criminals will be supervised by the Censor. That person is the Supervising Censor. With him here, no one will dare to make any mistakes."
Chai Tiannuo nodded. The more he looked at the man, the more familiar he seemed. Finally, he suddenly remembered that this was not the accountant of Bao Buzhi Motorsport when he entered Beijing that year!
No wonder Bao Buzhi treated him respectfully back then. He turned out to be a supervisory censor!
Not long after the guilty people moved back, Emperor Tianqi issued a decree again, granting amnesty to the whole country. Anyone who was imprisoned for corvées and taxes, no matter how big or small the cause, would be pardoned.
Taxes are reduced by 20% throughout Dahua!
Under the decree, the whole world was in an uproar, and the voice of thanksgiving could not be heard.
Without waiting for the amnesty and tax reduction to subside, and with the decree, the Sixteenth Guards of Dahua, the Forbidden Army, and the Yulin Army all followed the example of the left and right prison guards and reorganized their armaments!
Chai Tiannuo smiled, and the emperor began to act according to his own strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army. Dahua itself began to change!
"Master Chai is living a really leisurely life."
Without turning around to look at Chaitino, he knew who was coming. With a slightly sharp voice, there was no one but Jia Waiter.
"Jia Nei is sitting here, trying this year's new peaches. Compared with the previous ones, they are sweeter."
Waving his hand and placing a plate of freshly harvested peaches from the blessed land, Chaitino cheerfully pointed to another lounge chair. There were many acquaintances watching the scenery on the street, so he prepared an extra chair for easy chatting.
They were all acquaintances and there was no need to be polite. Waiter Jia sat down, grabbed the peach and took a big bite, then nodded vigorously:
"When it comes to fruits in the world, Taoyuan Blessed Land produces the most fairy peaches!"
Not bragging, it's true.
Lingmai multiplied in large numbers in Taoyuan Blessed Land, and the golden wheat almost covered all the open space that appeared after the area of Taoyuan Blessed Land increased.
Abundant spiritual energy helps the spiritual wheat grow, and the spiritual wheat feeds back the spiritual energy to nourish the blessed land. It has become a virtuous circle. The Taoyuan blessed land is full of life and the fruits it produces,
It contains more spiritual energy than before.
"How is the growth of Tushan's Fudi Lingmai?"
This is one of the issues that Chaitino is most concerned about. The wheat seeds planted by Bao Buzhi have sprouted, but their growth is far less than that of ordinary wheat.
Taoyuan Blessed Land is a special case and cannot represent the true growth rate of Lingmai.
"It's okay. The wheat is already over a foot high. Depending on the situation, I'm afraid it will take less than three months to mature. The two Five Immortal Masters of the same team have gone to check it many times. There is really a spiritual feedback."
"Two masters once said that you have made great contributions to the world!"
Chaitino grinned, feeling really good that what he had done could be recognized by others.
"Master Chai, Your Majesty has issued a decree. Is there something you need to handle personally?"
"What's the matter, don't you dare to do it again?"
Chai Tiannuo asked curiously. After calling back, he, the leader of the secret guards, had never received a mission again. However, Wei Zhongxian was very busy with his prices jumping up and down all day long.
A few days ago, when I returned to Mo Xiangju in the middle of the night, my body was covered in cuts and blood. It really made Uncle Li very heartbroken.
"It's not about the secret guards."
Waiter Jia shook his head and his face became a little tight. The master in front of him was also a strange person. There was no one in the entire Luoyang area who didn't know that he was the leader of the secret guards.
He is probably the only one in the world who can display his identity in the gutter like this.
"This matter involves the former Crown Prince Yong Wang, and we need you to act as Dr. Guanglu."
Upon hearing this, Chai Tiannuo immediately sat up. It was a big deal to involve the deposed prince!
"What happened and what do I need to do?"
Waiter Jia shook his head, spit out the peach core, picked up another one, and talked while eating.
All the criminals had returned to the Five Prefectures, and not long after the grain had been sown, food and clothing had to be supplied by the court, so there was an endless stream of grain convoys going to the Five Prefectures.
For the guilty people, the non-stop shuttle grain trucks are a lifeline. Once they stop running, there will be no end except death.
Due to strange events in the five states, almost no grass grows in such a large area. The same crops require twice the amount of fertilizer to grow, and their growth is much worse than elsewhere.
Five days ago, a food convoy was attacked. A battalion of government soldiers guarding the convoy and the baggage personnel were all killed, and the food was confiscated.
Because of this, Emperor Tianqi was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The person who did this was definitely not a criminal. For them, food is life, so they would definitely not do this.
As a result, when the Commissioner of the Ministry of Punishment inspected the scene, he found several broken knives with the logo of the East Palace Guards on them.
Because the royal family was involved, the Ministry of Punishment was difficult to deal with. After careful consideration, Emperor Tianqi asked Chai Tiannuo to meet the deposed prince as Dr. Guanglu to see if he could find any clues.
After all, in the entire Dahua court, there is no one more suitable than Chai Tiannuo.
"Hey, there are so many important and capable ministers, how come I am the most suitable?"
Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but roll his eyes. No one wanted to get involved in royal matters, let alone the matter of earning a dragon. If he wasn't careful, he would get angry.
