Time was running out, and the prince didn't even have time to tell Ji Yunkai a few more words. After telling the guards to obey Ji Yunkai's orders and everything was based on Ji Yunkai's words, the prince hurriedly entered the camp...
At this time, every moment every night, the Yanbei Army in Beichen could be put into danger; at this time, every second in the morning, the Yanbei Army in Beichen could be completely retreated. Therefore, the prince did not dare to delay, and
Can't delay.
Ji Yunkai was very aware of the current situation, and naturally she would not argue with the prince. She would not stay in the army and get in the way, and immediately asked the guards to take her back to Yanbei Palace.
This was the first time for Ji Yunkai to come to Yanbei. Sitting on the carriage, Ji Yunkai opened the window and watched the scenery of Yanbei along the way.
The climate in Yanbei is very unique. It is different from the cold in Beichen and the sweltering heat in southern Xinjiang. Located in the middle of the two places, Yanbei has spring-like weather all year round. Not only does the climate be pleasant, it is also very suitable for planting.
On the way into the city, Ji Yunkai saw large tracts of fertile fields. Unlike the barren fields in Beichen, these fertile fields were full of golden rice, and it looked like they would have a good harvest soon.
Approaching the city, he saw many villages along the way. Just looking at the houses in the villages, Ji Yunkai could see that the people in Yanbei were very wealthy. The houses were all tall and large, and there were very few small and short houses.
"Has Yanbei always been so rich?" Ji Yun drove along and felt something gained in his heart. Then he chatted with the driver outside about Yanbei's situation.
"Back to the princess, Yanbei was not like this before, but it has become so good in the past few years." The person who can drive Ji Yun is naturally the prince's man. When Ji Yunkai asked, the driver had something to say.
"Princess, you don't know something. We people in Yanbei were very poor before. Beichen and Nanjiang harassed us at the border every now and then. We were in fear all day long. We didn't have the energy to cultivate the fields. From time to time, we were harassed by people from Beichen and Nanjiang.
Taking away food will make life worse and worse."
"Later, the old prince passed away and he succeeded to the throne. He defeated Beichen in one fell swoop. He was so scared that Beichen didn't dare to harass us again. In less than three years, the prince also scared Southern Xinjiang. Since then, Yanbei
There are very few wars, and even if they do, they can't hurt us common people. Once your life is stable, you will have the energy to farm, and your life will naturally get better and better."
"By the way, Princess, you don't know anything. We here in Yanbei plant three crops of grain and grass. The fields are not idle all year round, and there is a grain harvest every few months. Not to mention the amount of grain we harvest,
The prince also stipulated that no tax should be paid if the family's fields do not exceed ten acres, and those with more than ten acres will have to pay taxes. However, there are differences in this tax. The more fields the family has, the more taxes they will pay."
"Although some people still take advantage of loopholes and record their family land on others, there are not many such things, and if the land is found, it will be confiscated. As soon as the prince orders this, we ordinary people will be better off."
…
The coachman was worthy of being the prince's man. Ji Yunkai only asked one question, and the coachman talked a lot. He did not stop until the carriage entered the city, introducing Ji Yunkai to the situation in the city along the way.
In the land of Yanbei, the King of Yanbei has absolute authority, followed by the eight generals.
These eight generals are in charge of eight Yanbei armies respectively, and they have great power. However, these eight generals are no longer the original eight generals. After the prince succeeded to the throne, the eight generals went through two rounds of shuffling, and there were only two
It continued, and the others were promoted by the prince.
These two families are naturally smart people who can stay. Even if they are not the prince's confidants, they must support the prince. At least they will not hinder the prince. Otherwise, according to the prince's character, even if he is scolded by everyone in the world, he will still
People have changed.
"Princess, the Xu family and the Qiu family have been from Yanbei for generations. I heard that our prince's family was able to establish a foothold in Yanbei, and these two families contributed a lot. Therefore, these two families have been treated favorably for generations.
, as long as they don’t make mistakes and betray Yan Bei, no matter how Yan Bei moves, it won’t happen to them.”
This news is not a secret. Almost everyone in Yanbei knows it. There is no problem for the coachman to tell Ji Yunkai. Moreover, these two families are in special circumstances. Ji Yunkai will live in Yanbei and will inevitably have to deal with these two families in the future.
It is necessary to inquire about some information.
"How do the Qiu family and the Xu family behave on a daily basis?" Seeing the coachman talking freely, Ji Yunkai asked them all.
Of course, Ji Yunkai would not believe everything the coachman said. She would definitely ask the prince for questioning later.
Ji Yunkai was not worried that the coachman would lie to her, but that what a coachman could see was completely different from what a prince could see.
"Princess, don't worry, General Qiu and General Xu are both good people. Yanbei was in chaos before, and many people didn't want to believe the prince. They have been supporting the prince. General Qiu and General Xu used to often go in and out of the prince's palace to discuss important matters with the prince."
The coachman said this, some with subjective judgment, some without...
This information cannot be said to be useful, but it is not useless either. At least Ji Yunkai knew that the prince still trusted these two families.
"Princess, the palace has arrived..." After the coachman finished talking about the Xu family and the Qiu family, he arrived at the Yanbei palace.
"Princess, please." The guards kept riding horses on both sides of the carriage. Although they heard the coachman talking, they didn't know what exactly he said, and they had no intention of asking.
Ji Yun drove the carriage, and the door to Princess Yanbei opened, but...
The person who came out to greet Ji Yunkai was not the housekeeper of Yanbei Palace, but a woman.
A woman about eighteen or nineteen years old, with long legs, big breasts, thin waist, and dark complexion, walked out surrounded by servants and walked up to Ji Yunkai like a hostess. She did not salute, but
He stepped forward generously and greeted: "I guess this is the princess, right? Come on, come on, come in quickly..."
Please come in?
Ji Yunkai stood there without moving...
This word is interesting. When she returned to her home, someone asked her to "come in."
"What's wrong with the princess? Could it be that she's tired? Look at my memory. I forgot that the princess is pregnant. I'm going to have someone carry a sedan for the princess." The woman slapped her forehead, cheerful and majestic, with a face full of enthusiasm.
laugh.
Turning around, the woman ordered the servant behind her: "Go quickly and bring a soft sedan for the princess. Don't make the princess tired."
"Slave, go now." The servant behind her was very obedient. When she gave the order, the servant started to move.
Ji Yunkai looked at it coldly...
If she thought too much at first, now she is sure that this woman is giving her power.
She came out of Yanbei Palace, welcomed her into the palace as a hostess, and then, in front of her, ordered and arranged the servants of Yanbei Palace at will, and the servants of the palace still obeyed her orders.
Every move of this woman clearly shows her status as the mistress of Yanbei Palace.
As soon as I arrived in Yanbei, I met such a person. It was really...
