It must be a big task to make the Prince Consort take such a serious matter.
"Prince-in-law, please tell me."
Li Mozhu was the first to speak. He likes hard-to-gnaw bones.
Qin Yu muttered: "This mission is quite special. I need the three of you to go to the Yan Kingdom to protect the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom, Gu Qingchan."
Gu Qing: "..."
Dugu Xiu: "..."
Li Mozhu: "..."
The three of them looked at Qin Yu in confusion, not knowing why.
Go to the Yan Kingdom to protect the eldest princess Gu Qingchan?
"I...are we developing a new mission?"
Gu Qing looked at Qin Yu blankly.
Li Mozhu couldn't help but complain in his heart: What about the good benefits, good treatment and little work that we promised at the beginning?
He felt that since he joined Qin Yu, his work suddenly increased, and now it is even more outrageous.
Qin Yu muttered: "No, this is a private matter between me and Princess Gu Qingchan. She was assassinated by Yueying Tower and is asking me for help."
As he spoke, he handed the copper coin engraved with a lotus to Li Mozhu, "Take this copper coin and pawn it at the Kongshan pawn shop in the imperial capital of Yan State. Someone will contact you in the evening to provide you with information and help.
"
Li Mozhu weighed it and then put the copper coins away.
The private affairs between the Prince Consort and Princess Gu Qingchan.
After saying this, they will understand the rest.
No matter how deep the matter is, they can't inquire about it.
Gu Qing and the others bowed and said, "Don't worry, Prince Consort, we promise to complete the mission."
Li Mozhu is still very confident.
As of now, Li Mozhu refuses to accept anyone except Shen Binglan.
Afterwards, Qin Yu briefly explained something to them, and they left.
With Hong Lian's help, plus Gu Qing, Dugu Xiu and Li Mozhu, Gu Qingchan's matter can be solved.
After some time, the World Escort Bureau opened a branch in Yan State, and the matter in Yan State will be easier to solve.
...
The next day.
early morning.
Jinling City.
Qin Yu, Xiao Nan and Shen Binglan followed Emperor Wei and several humerus out of the city and headed towards the western suburbs.
Today, Emperor Wei was observing the sentiments of the people, but there were not many people.
Moreover, with Shen Binglan here, Emperor Wei only took Meng Zhan with him.
Sister Baiying was released by Shen Binglan, otherwise she would be too deceitful, and Shen Binglan was afraid of having a bad impact.
Qin Yu and his party headed all the way to the western suburbs.
The autumn harvest has long ended.
It is mid-September now, and people are planting winter wheat.
There was a bumper harvest this year, and the faces of the people were all filled with smiles.
In the past, the food grown by the common people had to go through layers of exploitation, and only about 20% of it was distributed to them. It was difficult to even solve the problem of food and clothing, and they had to endure severe corvee labor.
But things are different now. Not only do they not have to perform corvee labor, but besides the taxes paid to the court, all the grain they harvest is their own.
The common people finally had surplus grain in their rice jars.
Looking at the hard-working people, Emperor Wei was extremely happy.
This was a scene that appeared in his dream. He used to wonder when the people of Wei could live a good life.
Unexpectedly, it only took five years to achieve success.
They walked west along the official road for nearly seventy miles and stopped at a place where a canal was being built.
Beside the river.
Dozens of shirtless men, led by an old man, were digging canals.
Although the Wei harvest was good this year, the rain was not particularly abundant, the water level dropped, and many irrigation canals needed to be repaired.
Emperor Wei walked over with Qin Yu and others.
Looking at the unusually dressed Wei Huang and his entourage.
The old man came forward to greet him and slightly cupped his hands: "I wonder what you gentlemen are doing? Are they looking for someone or asking for directions?"
The old man was very polite, and he could see that Qin Yu and his party were not ordinary people.
Emperor Wei smiled and said, "We have nothing to do and are strolling around. I saw you guys building the canal and wanted to come and have a look. I didn't disturb you, right?"
The old man responded: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't think this place is dirty."
The men only glanced at Emperor Wei and his party and continued digging the canal.
Emperor Wei led Qin Yu and others around him.
The water level in the river has dropped, and irrigation canals must continue to be dug downwards.
But the men are all very motivated.
Emperor Wei looked at the old man and asked: "After the imperial court's agricultural reform, will you have enough food to eat?"
The old man nodded, "That's natural. This is thanks to the enlightenment of the Prince Consort and the current Holy Emperor. Otherwise, how could we live such a prosperous life? After paying the land tax this year, every family will have a lot of surplus food, and we will still have it during the New Year."
I can exchange it for some meat."
The old man said, his eyes full of excitement and joy.
This joy is definitely sincere.
Emperor Wei was also very happy and asked: "Do you also feel that His Majesty has made a contribution?"
Emperor Wei had been out for private visits more than once or twice, but when it came to land reform, most of them praised Qin Yu, which made Emperor Wei very depressed.
Today I finally met someone who even praised him and Qin Yu.
Emperor Wei could also understand this matter. If he could not understand it, thought that Qin Yu was superior to his master, and distrusted him, then the country of Wei would have been shattered long ago.
The old man nodded and said seriously: "Of course it is your Majesty's credit. Although the Consort proposed agricultural reforms, Your Majesty is the one who can make the final decision. If His Majesty was not sensible and considerate of the sufferings of the people, how could you agree? If His Majesty had not
If you don’t agree, then no matter how good the emperor’s policies are, he can’t reform them.”
Hear this.
Emperor Wei smiled from ear to ear, "Hahaha... That's right, that's right. If it weren't for the current saints and saints, how could the land reform be implemented so smoothly?"
After that, he asked again: "How do you feel about the current official administration in the Wei Dynasty? Do the officials help the people do practical things? Are there any incidents of bullying the people?"
The old man pondered: "Of course not. Originally, if the irrigation canal was reported to the county magistrate, the county magistrate would report it to the court for appropriation of funds to hire people to repair it. But now the court has reduced our corvee and taxes, allowing us to live a good life. Naturally, there is nothing we can do."
We have to trouble the court, so we came to dig this irrigation canal spontaneously. People should know how to be grateful, right?"
Emperor Wei was very moved when he heard this, "Yes, only when the court and the people work together can our Wei Dynasty become stronger and stronger."
Emperor Wei was chatting with the old man.
Qin Yu walked to the irrigation canal and watched a group of men digging ditches.
Xiao Nan squatted aside and said, "Brother-in-law, my hands are itching when I see them. They are digging too slowly."
Qin Yu: "......"
You are as strong as an ox, who can compare to you?
Qin Yu ignored Xiao Nan, but looked at a man and asked, "Don't you have a waterwheel?"
The man was stunned, looked at Qin Yu doubtfully, and asked, "What is a waterwheel?"
