Chapter 955 Ryoko
On the last day before the New Year, Yu Liang hurried back to Luoyang, where he had been away for a long time.
When he was a few miles east of Pan Yuan, he saw a "resurrected" village and asked Wen Qiao who came to greet him.
Only then did he realize that the people in the village were actually Wubao residents who had been forcibly released.
It’s funny to say that in the past, the King of Liang held land in twenty counties, and many people went to Liang to buy property, but some people actually took a fancy to Luoyang.
Luoyang is a blessed place!
Luoyang Pichi ditch is perfect!
There are three acres of land in Luoyang for one acre of land!
Why doesn't anyone want it? Then I won't be polite.
There's a reason Luoyang fields are so cheap, though.
Smart people cut and sell the meat and use the money to buy property elsewhere. Some brave and careful people even went to Nanyang to buy land and managed it for several years, barely surviving. Now they are waiting for the reunification of the north and the south before sending their second son, third son and others to Jingzhou to develop.
The person who took over had indeed lived a comfortable life for a few years, but now he was dumbfounded.
The King of Liang returned eastward with the supreme prestige of conquering the Xiongnu, and saw that he was going to carry out the Zen Dynasty in Luoyang. Do you think he could not make arrangements for the land in Luoyang?
The Heijin Right Battalion was brought back by the central leader Mi Huang. The first thing he did was to clean up the Wubao Manor in the counties of Henan.
Accompanying him were the Youxiao Cavalry Guardsmen, various Hu soldiers, and Wubao Dingzhuang who was subdued by the imperial court.
The overall process was lackluster, and the fighting process was not intense. It only took two or three fights and basically subsided.
After the Wubao Manor was cleared, the thirteen counties of Henan County recorded a population of about 55,000 households and more than 250,000 people.
There are quite a lot of people, but most of them have moved in from the interior in the past few months. Only some of them have carried out autumn sowing, and the rest have not had time to put into production, so they cannot be considered an effective population.
What Yu Liang saw east of Panyuan was the newly released Wubao Dingzhuang. They each received part of the grain, received some farm tools, and even several families even shared a cattle for feeding, which could probably survive. over the winter and spring sowing in February.
Yu Liang even stopped to take a look.
Even though the Chinese New Year is coming tomorrow, these former Wubao residents are still picking up dead branches and leaves, stacking them in the irrigation canals, lighting fires to heat them, and then clearing them. They really don't miss a moment.
"The king must make Luoyang his capital." Yu Liang said with emotion.
"Yuan Gui, you've made some progress." Wen Qiao said with a smile.
Yu Liang had been the governor for several years and was well-known for his official prestige. However, facing Wen Qiao, a friend he had always admired, he could not lose his temper. He could only say helplessly: "I went to Xuzhou not for a leisurely party. The ancestor Zhizhen They were not human, and they harassed the counties every three days. The most brutal one was that they almost burned down the king’s Donghai mansion.”
Qiandi is also a thatched house.
Just kidding, in fact, after Shao Xun became prosperous, his family built a new brick house next to the original site, and the old thatched house was also maintained and repaired.
But that time it was really an exaggeration. Zu Ti fought all the way to the south of Qu County, twenty miles away, and almost burned Shao's hometown.
At that time, the war situation was complicated and the two sides were in a tug-of-war. Li Zhong did not agree to divide his troops to rescue Qu County. The implication was that the old house of the Shao family would be burned down and that he would just win the battle in front of him.
At that time, Prince Yu Liang got angry and almost deceived Li Chong into the camp to kill him, but Hao Xuan finally stopped.
On a rainy night, he personally led a group of soldiers and horses and rushed to Qu County out of breath.
Fortunately, the rain became heavier and heavier, and neither side could fight, so they finally stopped fighting.
"How is Zu Shizhi?" Wen Qiao asked.
"I heard that he is about to die." Yu Liang smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "As soon as he dies, Shao Shao will want to rule his army. I don't think it's that simple. If the Jianye court interferes indiscriminately, there will be chaos."
Wen Qiao looked at Yu Liang up and down again, and smiled again: "Yuan Gui, you are making progress."
Yu Liang smiled and said: "I will need you to help me in the future."
"Have you forgotten that I am the son-in-law of the Wang family?" Wen Qiao asked.
"What's the problem? In the future, when I become the prime minister, you will be the minister. If you and I join forces, the world will be in the palm of our hands." Yu Liang said.
Wen Qiao looked around and whispered: "Yuan Gui, it's okay for you and me to talk wildly, but we have to restrain ourselves. Some things can't be said randomly, otherwise there will be no chance."
When Yu Liang heard this, he bowed and said, "Fortunately, Taizhen reminded me."
Wen Qiao felt helpless and said, "I shouldn't have asked you to borrow money back then. I owed so many favors."
Yu Liang took his hand and laughed and said: "How can the friendship between you and me be measured by money? Come, follow me to Pan Yuan to meet my sister-in-law."
Wen Qiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "I came to welcome you on the order of King Liang."
"Oh? The king has taken a liking to you? What position has he been promised?" Yu Liang asked.
"A life-saving job." Wen Qiao said, "The governor of Qinzhou."
"It's a despicable place on the border." Yu Liang shook his head and said, "Why don't you wait a little longer? When Jiangdong is captured, wouldn't it be better to become the governor of Yangzhou and Jiangzhou?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiao didn't think so. He just heard him say: "It's better to be the governor of Qinzhou. I am nearly forty years old and my health is getting worse. Jiangnan is humid and humid. If I get a disease there, I may not be able to survive." It’s over. If you stay in the North, you may live a few more years.”
Yu Liang was stunned, but he had to admit that it made sense.
He has been in Xuzhou for many years and has had back-and-forth fights with Zu Ti, and it is not without his shining moments. Once, he took a detour and went deep into Huainan. During the autumn rain, he unfortunately encountered an epidemic. In the end, he hurriedly withdrew his troops. Sixteen or seventy-seven of the more than 4,000 people who went on the expedition died.
Huainan is like this. What will it be like if people from the north go to Jiangnan? It's not necessarily that something will happen, but the possibility of something happening is very high.
"That's true, but it's not easy to work under Jin Zheng." Yu Liang and Wen Qiao held hands and walked forward, saying: "When the king lived in Xuchang and Bianliang, this person was extremely domineering and very domineering. Not easy to deal with. ”
"Let's talk after we get there." Wen Qiao didn't take it seriously.
If Jin is domineering, then coax him.
He didn't point to Kim Jong's promotion, so why did he care? Instead of trying to figure out Kim Jong, it is better to try to figure out Yao Laoqiang and others.
"Has your family been brought back from Xuzhou?"
"I won't be back until next year."
"Where is Li Chong?"
"The governor and governor, Xuzhou's military and civilian affairs are decided with one word. The king is going to use him in a more important way, and I think he knows it himself. Before leaving, he has been hoarding supplies, training sergeants, and building ships. In the future, he will conquer Wu. Commander all the way.”
"It's a pity. Yuan Gui, you should stay. When we conquer Wu, you will be the commander-in-chief. Listen to Li Chong in everything, and you will gain something along the way."
"What are you talking about at this time..."
The two figures gradually disappeared and soon arrived at Pan Yuan.
******
Many people came to Pan Yuan, most of them were relatives or in-laws of the Shaw family, such as——
Guerrilla general Shao Shen, assassination governor Shao Fan, Taiyuan prefect Shao Guang, Jiuyuan commander Shao Jie, general chief secretary Yuan Neng (brother-in-law), Xihe prefect Tian Mao (niece-in-law), Heigui right camp governor Zhao Wei (cousin-niece-in-law) )wait.
The lineup is a bit thin, including the clan members and uncle's relatives, there are only a few of them.
However, the third generation has gradually grown up, and Shao Xun is also observing to see if there is any talent that can be made.
After Yu Liang and Wen Qiao came in, they greeted everyone.
Wen Qiao stayed in the front yard, while Yu Liang was led directly to the back house. "Yuan Gui." Shao Xunzai was sitting in the courtyard, holding two babies in his arms, and there were two children at his feet, each holding one thigh. He looked very funny.
A little further away, Wang's eldest daughter Fu Bao slapped the tiger's head and neck.
The big and thick tiger head didn't dare to say anything and walked away in despair.
The eldest son of the king, Shao Zhang, and the second son, Shao Gui, seemed to have a deep brotherhood. They consulted each other on how to run errands in a corner of the courtyard.
The third son of the king, Shao Xu, was the first to come up and salute.
Yu Liang returned the salute, and then saluted Shao Xun again.
Shao Xun handed the child to the wet nurse.
Both of these are girls. The former was born in the twelfth lunar month of the previous year and was born to the Yin family, while the latter was born in August this year to the Jing family.
In May, Mrs. Guanqiu gave birth to a son, who died in July.
"Yuan Gui, after the New Year, go to Pingyang and accompany the Prime Minister." Shao Xun said.
"Yes." Yu Liang's face darkened and he responded.
Shao Xun looked at his expression and nodded secretly.
If Yu Chen dies, even if he does not have to observe mourning for three years, Yu Liang will not be able to serve as an official for a period of time.
When Lu Zhi passed away, Shao Xun insisted on taking Lu Chen with him, which caused a lot of criticism and was not a good thing for Lu Chen's own development.
Anyway, with him here, Yu Liang's resurrection in the future will only be a matter of one sentence.
But if Yu Liang is dissatisfied because of this, there is something wrong with his character.
"Go and see Wenjun, Liang Nu is accompanying her." Shao Xun waved his hand and said.
"Yes." Yu Liang responded, and then led by the servant to the garden.
Yu Wenjun was wearing a fox fur coat. He was in a bad mood and his eyes were slightly red.
Ten-year-old Liang Nu stood by the side. When he saw Yu Liang, he immediately saluted: "Uncle."
"Brother." Yu Wenjun stood up and saluted.
"A-mei, sit down quickly." Yu Liang sighed and said.
"I will return to Pingyang after the new year to accompany my parents." Yu Liang said: "Beijing——"
At this point, I felt that it was not appropriate to say this now, so I shut up and said: "You are the queen. It is not appropriate to leave. Just stay with the king in Luoyang. He has been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and it is really hard. It’s rare to have time to spare.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at his nephew.
Although Liang Nu was only ten years old, his face was handsome and somewhat similar to his mother, but his figure was taller and stronger than his peers, which was similar to his father.
Yu Liang became more and more satisfied as he watched.
Isn't this nephew much better than Jin Dao, Badger Lang, Nian Liu and others?
What are you waiting for, Your Majesty? After ascending the throne, it is time to establish a prince.
He heard on the road that Nanyang Lekai frequently visited Wang's eldest son Jin Dao, which was really arrogant.
I'll ask Wen Taizhen to make a plan in two days to see if I can make Lucai suffer a big loss.
"My uncle is in the capital. Brother, if you have time these days, it's best to go and visit him. I went to see him today, and he's still in shape. It's been a while." Yu Wenjun lowered his head, his voice a little sad.
Yu Liang sighed when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, sister, I'll go visit you after Zhengdan."
Yu Wenjun nodded and said nothing again.
Yu Liang was a little anxious. He was full of words, but he felt that the time was not right.
well! Women are careless and easily sad for spring and autumn.
If something big happens in the country in the future, he will have to shoulder the burden, not his sister.
"Liang Nu, I heard that you are doing well in studies, but have you ever practiced martial arts?" When his sister didn't speak, Yu Liang looked at his nephew and asked.
"I've been practicing archery recently." Liang Nu replied simply.
"Uncle also likes archery." Yu Liang said immediately: "Ask me if you don't understand anything."
"I practice archery with my father," Liang Nu said.
Yu Liang was suffocated and laughed dryly: "Your Majesty's archery skills are magical. I remember that when we first met, I could compare myself to all the martial arts masters in my family."
"I have only scratched the surface of my father's skills." Liang Nu looked at Yu Liang's hands curiously and found that there seemed to be no calluses left by years of practicing bow and arrow, and he immediately doubted the authenticity of what his uncle said.
But he didn't say it out loud, he just kept it in his heart.
This uncle seems a bit unreliable.
"Brother, you've been traveling all this time, haven't you eaten yet?" Yu Wenjun wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up and asked.
"Hey, it's okay." Yu Liang said: "When Xuzhou was assassinated, there were frequent wars, and I often didn't have time to eat. I've long been used to it."
Liang Nu listened silently.
Yesterday, his third uncle told him that his eldest uncle had set up two areas of the Jingshe and a third nurturing band in Xuzhou. He often entertained guests and looked like a scholar.
But what he said didn't sound like lies. Then there is only one possibility. My uncle likes to have fun when he is not fighting, and he can endure hardships when he is fighting.
Thinking of this, his impression of his uncle changed slightly.
"Liang Nu, go and review your lessons quickly." Yu Wenjun touched his son's head lovingly and said, "Your second uncle will come over in the evening."
"Yes." Liang Nu responded, turned and left.
"Is Wen Tai really here?" Yu Wenjun looked at Yu Liang and asked.
"Here we come." Yu Liang was a little surprised.
"Taizhen has a strategist and a noble spirit." Yu Wenjun looked down at the ground and said softly: "If you have time, take him to see Liang Nu."
"Uh-ok!" Yu Liang responded and immediately agreed.
