Chapter 38 Resentment rampant

Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, and the woman in black gauze looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

Before Han Daoxun, no one had thought about this problem.

Precisely because of the fierce epidemic, although the water bug epidemic has not spread to the city for many years, there are still quite a few courtiers in the court who are worried and thinking about driving the infected and hungry people out of the capital.

But in the Gyeonggi area alone, there are hundreds of thousands of hungry people stranded, and as many as 23 out of 10 people infected with the epidemic. Where can they rush to?

Prefectures and counties that have no shortage of people cannot risk local shocks to accept the hungry people infected with the epidemic. The only area that can accept the hungry people infected with the epidemic on a large scale is Shouxian, where most of the counties have been destroyed by the war and the entire land has been laid waste.

state.

Han Daoxun came to remonstrate today. Although he was expelled from Qihua Hall by Emperor Tianyou, there was a lot of talk, especially since the matter involved the great interests of the prince's family, it was difficult to suppress it easily.

Obviously, regardless of whether they are infected with the epidemic or not, they cannot sit back and watch so many people being sent to Shouzhou. I believe that His Majesty was extremely angry in Qihua Hall today and did not want to see this.

At this time, Li Pu took the initiative to submit a letter and chose a place near Gyeonggi to take over the work in the name of Linjiang Marquis Mansion. Not only could he get the right people and the right place, but in the process of resettling tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people affected by the epidemic and starvation,

You can also naturally get a lot of money and food from the treasury and cultivate your power.

Thinking about the benefits of this, Li Pu was deeply shocked at this time.

Of course, the premise is that the water bug epidemic must be truly controlled. Otherwise, not to mention causing riots among the people in the place where they are resettled, they have spent so much energy and resources, and what they have gained is only useless people and infected areas.

, the gain outweighs the loss.

Of course, before "Epidemic Water Control" was published, no one knew that the water bug epidemic could be effectively controlled, so they took on the task and had little resistance.

Otherwise, how could the Anning Palace and the Prince's family not interfere with this?

Not to mention hundreds of thousands of hungry people, even if there are a few thousand hungry people who can be turned into military households, Anning Palace will never let this side get their hands on it.

Seeing Li Pu's silence, Han Qian knew what he was still worried about, and said: "Master Hou is hesitant because he is worried that the method written by my father in "Epidemic Water Dredging" will not work. My Han family bought it in Baohua Mountain

A mountain villa. The villa is close to Chishan Lake. There are tens of thousands of acres of deserted beaches between the lakes and mountains. The Marquis can ask your majesty to settle some of the epidemic and hungry people there. If this method is not feasible, my Han family's villa will follow suit.

Annulled."

"According to the "Epidemic Water Drainage", the most important point in controlling the epidemic is to stay away from the epidemic water and move the hungry people to the waterfront barren beach on the north bank of Chishan Lake. How to achieve this?" Li Pu asked.

"Simply driving the hungry people to the deserted beach will not be able to talk about staying away from the epidemic water. The winter poison is hidden deep in the water, and it is difficult to cause serious harm by wading into the water and building embankments; and the embankments can isolate the lake water from outside. Then we can organize the people to farm.

Dry fields, not paddy fields, digging wells for drinking water, digging new ditches to cover old ditches, collecting human and animal excrement and extinguishing it with fire and incineration. If these measures are implemented, and supplemented with decoctions, the epidemic can be initially controlled. After that, hundreds of thousands of hungry people will be

Incorporated into the village for training, Han Qian believes that with the ability of the Marquis, in three years, he will be able to train more than ten thousand grateful and loyal generals for His Highness!" Han Qian said.

Although Yang Yuanpu was young, after watching "Epidemic" and listening to Han Qian and Li Pu arguing for a long time, even if he couldn't understand many things clearly, he still felt that it was worth a try. He looked towards Li Pu eagerly,

His eyes were filled with anticipation.

As the capital of the country, Jinling has tens of thousands of elite garrison troops, mainly divided into two systems: the forbidden camp army and the guard army.

Since the formation of the army, the two major systems of the Forbidden Camp and the Guards and Pro-Army have been intertwined with factions and constrained each other. At this time, it is difficult for anyone to say clearly how many generals tend to support the prince's line and how many generals secretly support the Xin family.

King, there are many soldiers and generals who only follow His Majesty's lead. But one thing is certain, even the guard camp of Linjiang Marquis Mansion with only more than a hundred people, the third prince Yang Yuanpu may not be able to control it.

This also puts Yang Yuanpu in a very vulnerable position. Once he loses the protection of Emperor Tianyou, he will be in danger of losing his life at any time.

If hundreds of thousands of infected and hungry people can be used to form a new army of troops that can be trusted, even if they can directly control three to five thousand troops in Jinling, this will be of great help to change the disadvantage that the third prince Yang Yuanpu is at at this time.

Too big.

You must know that there are only two or three hundred soldiers in the Xinchanghou Mansion. If Anning Palace really wants to be ruthless, these two or three hundred people will be far from enough.

The importance of "Epidemic Water Treatment" can be seen from this. Not to mention Han Qian calling Li Chong a few idiots at this time, even if he really stood on Li Chong's head and peed, everyone would have to endure it first.

"..." Xinchang Hou Li Pu and the woman in black gauze looked at each other for a long time, and it was difficult to make a decision.

If the "Epidemic Flood Drainage" is followed to resettle hundreds of thousands of hungry people and it is really effective, although the resources invested in the first year are huge, the results will be achieved in the second and third years of farming. Using farming to raise troops can greatly reduce the resources.

It is certainly worth investing, but if this method fails, it will most likely become a bottomless pit that drags them down.

No matter how many resources they secretly control, this move still carries the risk of being desperate.

"..." Seeing the hesitation of the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, and the woman in black gauze, Han Qian sneered in his heart, stretched out his hands and feet, and said to Yang Yuanpu, "Han Qian was very frightened and exhausted. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to accompany His Highness today. Please, Your Highness."

Xu Hanqian resigned first. Han Qian also knew that he was too long-winded today and said too many words that offended His Highness and the Marquis in anger. Han Qian promised that he would not talk too much in the future and would not bore His Highness and the Marquis anymore...

"

After that, Han Qian didn't wait for Yang Yuanpu to say anything, then stood up and walked towards the corridor guarded by the masked swordsman.

The swordsman wore a bronze mask on his face. He didn't expect Han Qian to be so rude and wanted to break into their secret passage leading to Wanhong Tower.

Han Qian just glanced at the masked swordsman and thought, I just want to show off now, how dare you bite me?

After being stared at by Han Qian for several seconds, while everyone in the room looked at each other in shock and remained silent, the swordsman finally took a step back and gave way to the passage.

…………

…………

After walking through the long corridor and pushing aside a thick stone slab, we found an empty underground palace.

Several armored swordsmen were guarding inside. When they suddenly saw Han Qian walking in, they were all stunned. They drew their swords and tried to detain Han Qian.

"Don't do anything." Yao Xishui followed from behind and waved the guard to move aside.

Han Qian ignored Yao Xishui and saw a wooden staircase in the corner of the hall. He climbed up the stairs and found that he was in a wooden building. The previous underground hall was located in the earth mountain of Wanhong Building.

The wooden building was empty, and Han Qian was not interested in prying into the privacy of the woman in black gauze. He opened the door and walked down the hill, walking through the corridor to the yard where Yao Xishui lived.

Yao Xishui signaled the stunned maids in the courtyard to leave. When she saw Han Qian passing through the hall, he directly opened the door of her boudoir, lay down on the bed where she usually rested, and said coldly: "Don't try to measure up.

.”

"I didn't ask you to sing a little song. I just wanted to find a place to take a rest. Why did you scream so loudly?" Han Qian asked. He was indeed feeling physically and mentally exhausted at this time. He was smelling the bedding in Yao Xishui's room.

After getting drunk with the finest incense, I thought it would be extremely comfortable to sleep here.

Yao Xishui pulled up a chair, sat in front of the bed, stared at Han Qian, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Feng Yi and Kong Xirong will go back and leak your story?"

"Am I worried about the use of the loopholes you have exposed? Besides, if you really think I am of any use, you will make up for the loopholes even if it means killing people and silencing them." Han Qian said.

"You, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong share the same affinity with each other. Are you really willing to watch us kill people and silence them?" Yao Xishui asked.

"I can't even protect my life, so how can I care about other people's lives?" Han Qian said with a sneer.

"If I didn't force you today, you probably wouldn't take the initiative to take out "Epidemic Water Treatment"?" Yao Xishui looked into Han Qian's eyes and asked again.

Han Qian thought to himself that this little shrew was really not stupid. He lay down next to the pillow, opened the brocade quilt to cover his legs and feet, and did not take off his boots. He leaned on the edge of the bed and said: "I'm really too lazy to talk to that idiot Li Chong. If Miss Yao

If you can listen, I might as well tell you. You are totally wrong to think that you can force my father to submit by using this method. But if you can do something to alleviate the suffering of the people, I might as well persuade my father.

I will cooperate with you. Other than that, you'd better not act rashly."

At this time, a wisp of piano sound came from the yard next door. It was very sweet, like green mountains and flowing water, and the sound was like the sound of heavenly whispers.

Han Qian opened the quilt, piled it aside indiscriminately, and said: "Is this Miss Su Hongyu practicing the piano? I'll go over and listen. Yes, a few of my soldiers are still guarding the courtyard of the Xinchang Hou Mansion. Have someone tell them.

Come and wait for me at Wanhong Mansion - As for why I suddenly went to Wanhong Mansion, you can use your excuse, I went to listen to Su Hongyu practice the piano."

Seeing Han Qian get up and walk to the yard where Su Hongyu lived next door, making her bed confused, Yao Xishui held the short blade hidden in his sleeve and thought about whether to stab his grandson in the thigh.

Two swords, let him know who can be tyrannical in Wanhong Mansion?
