Chapter 581: Something happened during spring plowing
There were barbarians from the Yue Kingdom who voluntarily surrendered to Qin, respected Qin as the superior state, and worshiped the King of Qin as the emperor. Ying Zheng proclaimed himself emperor.
This is an exciting and good thing within the scope of Qin's rule. Everyone knows that Qin has conquered most of the country. Now that the king is called emperor, he will definitely be the common ruler of the world in the future, and the people of Qin will be honored.
The official news reached Zhao Di, and people discussed it a lot.
Lu Yan had long known the news that Yan Lingji had become the queen, and when he heard about Ying Zheng proclaiming himself emperor and the wonderful speech made by the Yue envoy in the court, he immediately understood Yan Lingji's plans for the future.
Leading South Vietnam to actively integrate into the Central Plains was a feat. If she could succeed, the descendants of China would not ignore the name Queen Nanyan every time they studied the process of unification.
Thinking of this, he felt very happy, "I feel like I accidentally taught an amazing woman~"
"Drive, drive! Your Majesty the Imperial Preceptor! Your Majesty the Imperial Preceptor!" One after another, the shrill shouts came from the distance, and the sound of kicking horse hooves stirred up the empty fields.
The guarding soldiers tried to stop the fast horse, but the man on the horse held up a sign and shouted: "Eight hundred miles, hurry up, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
All the soldiers were shocked, and they rushed to hurry up. What happened?
"Master Imperial Master! Hey! Hey!" The knight did not stop and rolled to the ground. The armor hit the ground with a dull "bang".
He shook his head and got up, sat on the ground and fumbled for a letter from his chest, "Master Imperial Master, something happened. There are a total of more than 2,000 hectares of fields in Haxian and Gaoyi that are barren of crops and almost barren."
.”
What!
The surrounding soldiers were all horrified. More than 2,000 hectares of land could not grow crops. How could something so evil happen?
"Now there are rumors in the north, saying that the Imperial Master killed Gaoyi too hard and the people's resentment lingered, which led to this disaster."
Lu Yan dropped what he was holding, walked closer, pulled the man up first, and took the letter from his hand.
The letter is a request for help from the local government, or it also means to shirk responsibility. After all, the difficulty of this matter is beyond their ability.
Lu Yan bared his teeth after reading this insignificant letter, "Haixian County and Gaoyi are very close to each other. Come and invite Mr. Zhu."
After receiving the order, someone clasped his fists and said, "Master Imperial Master, Mr. Zhu Jia went to Hengshan County for inspection not long ago."
Lu Yan wrote a letter directly and handed it to him together with Gaoyi's letter of distress. "Hurry up and go to Hengshan County to find him. Ask him to take the people from the Agricultural Research Institute and go directly to the location of the incident."
"yes."
Lu Yan looked at the dusty knight again and patted his shoulder, "You go to the posthouse to rest first. I have my own arrangements for Gaoyi and Haixian."
After a slight hesitation, the knight accepted the order, "Yes, Sir National Preceptor."
Lu Yan stared at his back that was getting away after getting on the horse, and remained silent.
Nong Yu came closer, looked up at her man and asked, "Husband, you seem to be too calm."
Are you calm?
Lu Yan looked at the people who were still working here and let out a long breath, "More than two thousand hectares of land have become barren land. That is, when more than two thousand households reorganized their household registration and divided their fields under my rule, the final result was
I was starved to death. With the rumors spreading, half of my previous efforts will be lost again."
"Husband, who are you who do all these vicious tricks?"
Nongyu's pretty face was filled with anger. Her character rarely gets angry, but when she thought of the more than two thousand people in Gaoyi who were used to die tragically, and now this kind of thing happened again, she really became angry with the person behind the scenes.
Huge killing intent.
"He won't live long."
Lu Yan's sudden words made her a little confused.
"Husband, you already have a plan?"
"Misfortune lies where good fortune lies, and good fortune lies where misfortune lies. Misfortune and fortune are unpredictable." Lu Yan didn't know what to say. Maybe God was helping him. "The Tingwei Mansion has taken away the command of Xianyang Luowang."
Go and bring me Bai Feng. Bai Feng also helped me catch the mastermind behind Zhao Di’s secret attempt to trip me up.”
Nongyu was surprised at first, and then became a little cold, "Caught him! Who is he?"
"Pingyuan Lord, Zhao Ling. It's just that there is still some time left before we can close the net." Lu Yan looked towards the direction of Handan City with a cold gaze.
…
The day's work was over and when he returned to his mansion in Handan, Lu Yan immediately called Bai Feng.
"How is the situation over at Zhao Ling?"
"That swordsman is very good at martial arts and light skills. I'm not sure he can follow him without being noticed. I can only rely on the surveillance network set up in Handan to roughly figure out where he has been."
The surveillance network Bai Feng mentioned is very scary. It happens to be spring now, the weather is getting warmer, everything is revived, and all kinds of birds are very lively.
All the birds in Handan City could be the eyes of Bai Feng. Birds cannot understand what ordinary people say, but it is enough to obey Bai Feng's instructions and figure out a person's whereabouts.
Bai Feng showed the marked map of Handan to Lu Yan, "The one he went to the most was the Good Luck Store, followed by the Hongyuan Store, and the others were all traveling businesses."
Lu Yan looked at the shops marked on the map with a solemn expression, "There are so many merchants, and several of them are old brands. Together, they account for almost one-third of Handan's commercial circulation."
He couldn't help but recall Zhao Ling's mansion. If he had to compare it, perhaps Lu Buwei's mansion in Xianyang was qualified for comparison.
He has three thousand men and well-prepared soldiers. If he said that he spent a lot of money to arm himself to defend the city, you are a fool to believe it.
He also maintains contact with these merchants secretly, and he is just like a big boss hiding in the dark. Except that he does not make a big splash in front of the world, it can be said that he gets what he wants.
If Bai Feng hadn't gone to Handan in person, he wouldn't have been able to find out these clues with the help of a net or a hundred birds. The sword servant was even afraid of the current Bai Feng, and if Mo Ya followed him, he would probably be exposed.
"Mo Crow has sent hundreds of birds to focus on the convoys of Qiyun and Hongyuan. Those who set off ten days ago should get a reply soon."
Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction and tapped his hand lightly on the table, "Something happened in Haxian County and Gaoyi in the north. There are more than two thousand households whose fields are barren and cannot grow crops. Rumors will soon spread.
.I guess there will be people in Handan who can’t help it, and they will have to work hard for you and Mo Ya.”
Bai Feng's ice-blue pupils flashed with cold light, and nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I will supervise Mo Crow."
"Well, go ahead."
"yes."
After Bai Feng left, Lu Yan sighed quietly into the air: "I really don't understand, what can you get by doing such a thing? Is it because you don't have enough? Or, you simply feel that I can't find out about you.
Come on, I won’t use the knife on you!”
Mr. Pingyuan, a large branch of the Zhao family, if he were to be chopped off with this knife, the number of people implicated would probably be several thousand. This would simply force Lu Yan to be the executioner again and again.
