The people in the valley saw Yang Hao, who was coming first, and greeted him enthusiastically. Yang Hao slowed down, his horse trotted briskly, and nodded to the people with a smile.
Suddenly, he saw a smiling face, a very familiar smiling face. That smile was like a spring breeze, and it had always been lingering in his heart. Yang Hao subconsciously smiled at the man, and only then did he wake up after the war horse galloped past. He suddenly
He reined in his horse and turned around to look back in surprise.
Li Guangcen stopped his horse and asked, "Hao'er, what's wrong?"
Yang Hao said without looking back: "Father, you go back first, I'm going to see an old friend." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the girl in black clothes.
Zhe Ziyu stood pretty under a tree, her almond-shaped eyes filled with smoke, looking at him with her head tilted, her appearance was indescribably sultry.
Yang Hao reached her side and dismounted from his saddle. He took two steps closer and looked at her while panting.
Zhe Ziyu is not as bright and beautiful as Tang Yanyan, who can catch people's eyes as soon as she meets her face; nor is she like Ding Yuluo, who is charming and sassy, like a cold plum in the snow. The more she looks at her, the softer and softer she becomes.
The more beautiful you look, as long as you look carefully, even a lock of hair or a posture can surprise you.
Her appearance, temperament, body movements, and indescribable coordination are fifty-six times similar to Luo Dong'er. The difference is that Luo Dong'er is pitiful, soft and timid, like an inconspicuous but fragrant gardenia tree.
Flowers, but Zhe Ziyu is more graceful and graceful than her, like a bright moon. You have to look up to see its mysterious brilliance.
No matter what, she is the girl who has the most similar temperament to Luo Dong'er, and it is also the first girl Yang Hao has had a touch of affection for since he came to this world. When he saw her now, and thought of Dong'er who had passed away, Yang Hao couldn't help but
Mixed feelings.
Zhe Ziyu stood quietly under the tree with her hands folded, watching Yang Hao running towards her with joy. Seeing the surprise in his eyes, the smile on her face became sweeter. When she saw his eyes darkened
, the considerate Zhe Ziyu immediately understood what he was thinking, and her heart was slightly sour, but what immediately surged up was more tenderness and unspeakable pity.
Yang Hao finally spoke: "How...how did I see you here?"
Zhe Ziyu pursed his lips and smiled: "You said that if we are destined to meet again, we will meet again."
"Yes, I...I..."
Yang Hao was galloping, his mood was ups and downs, and his palms were sweating. Zhe Ziyu saw his embarrassment and was very proud that she could have such an effect on him. She blinked her neat and fine long eyelashes gently, naughtily.
He made a face and said with a sweet smile: "Don't you ask why I appear here?"
"Ah... yes, why are you here?" Yang Hao asked, and suddenly woke up: "By the way, how did you know I was here?"
Zhe Ziyu showed his scallop-like teeth gently and said with a smile: "I have a clever plan. Haha, a lot of people are looking at us. Do you want to go for a walk together?"
"Okay!" Yang Hao agreed happily, threw away the reins of the horse, patted the horse's back, and the horse ran towards Li Guangcen and his party. Yang Hao greeted him with his hands tied, and the two of them stepped onto a tree-lined path side by side.
Li Guangcen saw the expressions of this pair of children in his eyes. Half his life was full of ups and downs, and half his life was running around. Now he has finally stabilized, and Yang Hao's words of "adopted father" awakened his family thoughts. Now he is very hopeful.
You can still enjoy the days of caring for your grandchildren during your lifetime.
This girl is very lovable, and she looks like a good match for her husband and son. Well...and that butt, although it is not very big, can be vaguely seen from the outline of her clothes and pants. It is really upright and erect, as round as a full moon.
, has a body that can give birth to a boy. Li Guangcen smiled with satisfaction while stroking his thorn-like beard, and walked away with his entourage.
Bisu was as light as an ape and as swift as flying. He rushed down from the mountain. He saw Yang Hao and the girl Zhe turning to a forest path in the distance. He waved and started to chase after him. However, he only took one step and his feet were weak.
Once it is in the air, it can only hang in the air.
Bi Su turned around and saw two big men standing behind him. Their bodies were as strong as mountains, like mountain gods. One of them was holding his collar with two fingers and lifting him up.
Bi Su glared, then changed his face, and asked politely: "What do you two brothers have to say?"
The big man with a sharp beard grinned: "This dear fellow, he is very good at lightness of martial arts."
Bi Su cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, thank you, dear friends, look... should we stand still and speak?"
"Let's sit down and talk." The big man smiled, put him on the ground, and put his arm around his shoulders. Bi Su's thin body was hugged by his big hands, and he couldn't help but walk to the roadside. His shoulders felt heavy and he took advantage of the situation.
He and the big man sat side by side on a stone by the roadside.
"You two...what do you want to teach me?"
Bisu was held in the middle by the two of them, and he suddenly became a little worried: These two bear-like big men, don't they have any special habits? The day before yesterday, a rogue who broke into the woman's tent with evil intentions was punished by Chi Zhong.
, I just don’t know if I was violated by them, whether the Red Army leader would make the decision for them and hand them over to military law...
The big man on the left said to him seriously: "Have you ever noticed that an ant is so small, but it can carry something several times heavier than its body?"
"Ah, I didn't pay attention...but what does this have to do with me, dear friends?"
The big man on the right said: "It has nothing to do with you. We brothers just think that you, a little monk, are quite intelligent, so we want you to think about it together. How can this ant... how can it carry such a heavy thing?
.Look, look, there is an ant there, come on, let us three brothers take a closer look..."
The two thick arms hugged Bisu's neck at the same time, and Bisu involuntarily bent down. When Young Master Ye came down the mountain panting, he found that Bisu's "petite" body was covered by two big men.
Holding each other tightly in their arms, the three of them lowered their heads and were looking at something attentively...
Zhe Ziyu raised his straight and delicate nose and said with a sweet smile: "...That's it. You know that my uncle Jiu works in General Zhe's mansion, and sometimes I also use his connections to go to Baihuawu.
After walking around and listening to people talking about you, I found out that the imperial envoy Yang Hao is Bazhou Ding Hao."
She raised her hand, straightened her hair on her temples, and said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't expect to come here. My family has a large population, and in order to make a living, we do a lot of business."
"Yes!" Yang Hao nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, the sea of people is huge, and I never thought that I would have a chance to see you."
Zhe Ziyu's eyes flashed slightly and he said sweetly: "So I said, this is fate. It's just... I didn't expect you to change your name to Yang Hao. If not... if I didn't hear someone talking about you by chance, even if I did
Even if they come to Luhe Ridge, they may not come looking for you."
"Ding Hao..." Yang Hao smiled bitterly: "It's too long to say, I don't want to mention those unbearable past events. Miss Zhe, what kind of business does your family do?"
"Whatever makes money is what you do."
Zhe Ziyu said slyly: "My family has a large population. There are many uncles just like me. Everyone is a big family and they jointly run a large ranch. But this alone cannot do it. Other businesses have to be done.
make a living
It’s so complicated that I can’t explain it at the moment. My father has passed away and now my eldest brother is in charge. In order to make a living, he himself is also running around outside. This time, I will follow him to transport food, farm tools, etc. to Luheling.
Helped."
Yang Hao nodded and said with admiration: "It's really hard for you. Such a young woman has to run around for the family's livelihood and sleep in the open air. It's really respectable."
Zhe Ziyu smiled and said: "Haha, it's not as great as you said. In fact, I am generally not needed for family affairs. Sometimes I go out for a walk, and the purpose of traveling is more. But...
…”
She glanced at Yang Hao, lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "This time, I really want to see you because..."
Yang Hao felt a little moved, but he pursed his lips and said nothing.
The road ahead up the mountain became narrower and overgrown with weeds on both sides. Zhe Ziyu took the initiative to walk to the front, rolled his eyes, and asked: "Yang..., I still don't call you by your official position anymore, I still call you as before.
How about your name?"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "That's exactly what it should be."
Zhe Ziyu said: "After I came, I walked around and saw the people here. Although they are still stable now, they will not be able to make a living if they continue like this. I heard from Uncle Jiu that General Zhe is busy now.
The war cannot be taken care of here for the time being. However...he has already ordered down and transferred a group of officials from the government to register households and demarcate the villages for these people, so that scholars, farmers, merchants, and all walks of life can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Is this happening?" Yang Hao was overjoyed: "When I go back later, I should also meet the people from Fugu and hear what General Zhe means."
Yang Haodao: "Actually, the people have moved to Fugu. How to resettle them is a matter for the local officials. I have no right to interfere. But this journey has been bumpy and I have developed feelings for these people. If I can't see them properly resettled with my own eyes,
, I’m really a little bit relieved
I feel bad. It would be great if General Zhe could take care of these people. However, the situation here is quite special. If we arrange the people and their businesses according to the ordinary state capital settings, I am afraid it would not be appropriate. I am just waiting for General Zhe to come back.
To give him some advice."
Zhe Ziyu looked back and said with a smile: "I know you are always very wise. What good ideas do you have?"
Yang Haodao: "The pastures here are rich, the land is fertile, there are rolling mountains and a large river in the reed marshes. Logically speaking, to allow these tens of thousands of people to have food to eat, some people can be arranged to work in agriculture and some people can graze.
, some people fish and hunt,
Others can still engage in business. But this is connected to the territory of Linzhou, Fuzhou and Dangxiang Qiang people. You are from Fuzhou, so you should know that although these three Jiedu envoys are all officials of the Song Dynasty, but...
...However, they are not very harmonious with each other..."
Because Zhe Ziyu is a distant relative of General Zhe, it was difficult for Yang Hao to explain clearly. Zhe Ziyu said with a smile: "It's more than just a lack of harmony. Now among the three vassals in the northwest, the Li family in Xiazhou is the most powerful, so the Zhe Yang family established an alliance.
In order to fight against the Li family, the two vassals of Yang will be defeated.
They are allies rather than a family. Neighbors, no matter how close we get along, they cannot be like a family without any resentment. Today my family occupied a ridge of land in your house, and tomorrow your family ran to my backyard and hugged two bundles.
Firewood, these disputes are inevitable."
She chuckled and said: "General Zhe and General Yang didn't want to break their alliance over such a trivial matter to avoid being taken advantage of by Xiazhou, so they had to restrain each other's people and try not to let them come into contact. So..., Lu He A piece of fertile land like this is idle because it is located at the border of the three forces."
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Girl Bingxue is smart and is from Fuzhou. She can really see clearly than me. Yes, this is exactly Yang's concern. Whether they are allowed to graze or farm, they will inevitably expand to all directions. Let's go. Now, in order to avoid major conflicts, all parties have restrained their people to stay away from this land of right and wrong. However, there are still people who usually cross the border for grazing and fishing. Tens of thousands of people came here all of a sudden, whether they are farming. Or herding or fishing, what should I do if there is a conflict with the people of the three parties?
Xiazhou, Fuzhou, and Linzhou each have heavy troops in their hands. They are wary of each other and can control the development of the situation. What do the tens of thousands of people in Luheling have? Once a conflict occurs, the folk customs in the northwest are fierce and most of them gather together. They formed a village and lived together with the same surname, and they were very united. At that time, even if the three Jiedushi masters did not send troops, the people of Luheling were not opponents even if they were oppressed by villages from all sides.
Furthermore, even if the two governors of Linzhou and Fuzhou understand the righteousness and can restrain their subordinates and people, what about the west? That is the territory of the Dangxiang Seven Clan. They are so hungry that even Li Guangrui of Xiazhou They dare to rebel, and they dare to rob the villages and towns in Linzhou, Luheling raises cattle and sheep, and grows crops. They are close to them and there are no heavy soldiers to protect them. They can let go of this piece of fat. What?"
Hearing this, Zhe Ziyu suddenly felt that her original idea was still a bit naive. Her original idea was to use her influence to ask her brother to take more care of the people in Luheling and at the same time build an armed force in Luheling for self-protection.
However, her brother is her brother at home, but outside he is the lord of the state. There is no profit to be gained, so let him send his army here to bleed and sacrifice for others. Even though her eldest brother agreed for her sake, all the generals How can we be willing to do so? It is okay to provide protection for the moment, but if we look at the long term, this is indeed not a long-term solution.
Furthermore, if you want to obtain taxes and civil service tribute from Luhe Ridge and provide military protection as corresponding conditions, it will be equivalent to directly bringing these tens of thousands of Han people into your own jurisdiction. At that time... Luhe Part of the land occupied by Ling belongs to Linzhou. Will Linzhou come to take a share of the pie? Will the Zhao Guan family of Kaifeng Prefecture turn a blind eye if they directly turn these people into their own subjects? "
Thinking of this, Zhe Ziyu secretly admired Yang Hao. While thinking about it, she asked: "So, do you have any good way to have the best of all four aspects?"
Yang Hao then told what he could about his plan. Zhe Ziyu did not expect that Yang Hao would have such a bizarre idea, but when he thought about it carefully, it made sense. Just like when he proposed to concentrate the war horses scattered among the armies. , organizing a separate cavalry unit for use, although it was unimagined before the launch, it is exactly what it should be if you think about it carefully.
She had never heard of a place before, a large town with tens of thousands of people, but she completely gave up on industry, agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, and concentrated on developing commerce, forming a special area with unique functions, but it was guaranteed to prosper. But in this special place, doing so is beneficial to both parties, and all parties are willing to accept it and benefit from it.
After his design, these immigrants from the Northern Han Dynasty could play exactly the role that all parties wanted to do but could not do. Luheling was simply specially set up for such a group of people who did not belong to any party and served any party.
In particular, he specifically mentioned not developing the military, which is something that any party is willing to accept.
Of course, except for the Xiazhou Li family, they will not welcome the emergence of Luheling, because the only party's interests that Luheling harms are the Xiazhou Li family, but the ones that are growing stronger are the Dangxiang Qi family and the Linzhou Yang family.
The strength of the three parties of the Fuzhou Zhe clan. But because of this, the Luling River, surrounded by the Dangxiang Qi clan, Linzhou, and Fuzhou, will inevitably be welcomed and protected by the three parties.
Yang Hao's move not only resolved the embarrassing position of Luling River and properly resettled tens of thousands of people, but also turned all the conditions that were originally unfavorable to Luling River into favorable conditions. This guy... this guy
How does his head grow? Why can he always come up with some good ideas that turn iron into gold?
Zhe Ziyu, who has always been proud of his intelligence, was not dissatisfied because he was compared with him. On the contrary, he was even happier that he had come up with a better idea than she herself. Women are stingy, and there are only two kinds of people who are stronger than them.
, not only does she not feel jealous at all, but she will be extremely happy for him, and will do her best to support him. One is her children. The other... who else is it if he is not an official?
What about Yang Hao?
Zhe Ziyu looked back and smiled happily, but found that she had not spoken for so long. Yang Hao followed her with his head down, his eyes slightly lowered, as if he was staring at her...
Zhe Ziyu's face heated up, and he quickly turned his head, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "Well, I come from a girl's family, and I don't know if what you said makes sense. It sounds... it seems good. I think, if it is true,
It makes sense, General Zhe will also agree with your good idea."
While she was talking, she unexpectedly remembered what Yang Hao had said to Tang San, Fangyuan and the others in Qunfang Pavilion: "I..., haha, Brother Tang and I have the same view.
A bed in the wind and moon can bring boundless charm. The artistic conception can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words..."
Zhe Ziyu's pretty face suddenly felt a little hot, and the fragrance of vegetation filled her nose and filled her heart. Her eyes were red, she bit her lips, parted the weeds and vines, and walked gently in front, her waist suddenly swayed,
Swaying..., an intoxicating charm spread out, filling Yang Hao's eyes and permeating his heart.
A woman’s appearance is what pleases her. A woman’s appearance is what pleases her. How about more than just her appearance?
The beauty of a young girl who has just had her hair and is starting to lose her hair is not just her age.
The worries of the daughter's family are like a light cloud enveloping the moon, trying to cover up but still exposing it, trying to resist but still being ashamed...
