The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

Chapter 76

In late October, An Changqing finally received a letter from Xiao Zhige. +++ Catino Novel Network

At that time, his stomach was much bigger, and he could even feel the slight fetal movement. When Hu Shifei came to check his pulse again, he hesitated and said that he was probably a pair of twins.

His belly is now about the same size as a pregnant woman in the same month, but Hu Shifei said that there are two fetuses in his belly. An Changqing is a little worried that the child is too thin and weak, and maybe she won’t be too healthy after she is born. However, Hu Shifei checked his pulse every three days, and finally confirmed that the child in his stomach was very healthy, maybe smaller, but not weak. After all, there is the blood of the shark race. It cannot be treated like ordinary people.

An Changqing was relieved now.

He gently stroked (touched Mo) his stomach, and opened the letter from Xiao Zhige’s home to read.

The family letter is very thick, and this time there is no longer just a short sentence telling him not to worry about it. Instead, he wrote about the situation in the south in detail.

Xiao Zhige didn’t follow Anqing’s will and went to assist Prizhou first, instead he caught Qingzhou Hao (qiang) by surprise. When I saw the letter saying that Qingzhou Hao (Qiangqiang) controlled the gate and refused to open the gate, Xiao Zhige blasted the gate with six sky-shaking thunders. An Changqing couldn’t help laughing.

Zhentianlei is one of the new firearms developed by the Military Equipment Supervisor. He was awakened by a strange incident in the travel notes and reminded Xiao Zhige. He did not expect that Xiao Zhige would really call the Military Equipment Supervisor to develop it. . Gunpowder was mostly used to make fireworks before, but when they changed their minds and used them on weapons, they found that its power was not to be underestimated.

In addition to the Thunder, the military inspector also developed other firearms. It was just that the Yanzhou war was eliminated, and it didn’t come in handy for a while. I went to Xiao Zhige to the south just in case to bring some, but I didn’t expect to give them first. The obedient Hao (qiang) landlord used it.

In order to deter Hao (qiang), Xiao Zhige ransacked the Shi family who led the chaos. The Shi family is a giant in the south, and the wealth accumulated by the ancestors over several generations is said to be rich in the enemy’s country. An Changqing would know them because one of the good ladies in the prince’s mansion was Shi’s daughter. It stands to reason that a business woman is not enough to become a prince. But helplessly, the Shi family has money. If such a giant has no one behind, it is afraid that the court will first see them not pleasing to the eye. So the Shi Patriarch bet the treasure on the prince, not only gave out his daughter, but also gave a huge amount of dowry.

It’s a pity that the prince is a good girl, and she despises the domineering faction of Shi’s daughter. She doesn’t love this Liangdi very much, but she didn’t make people wronged, so she was raised in the East Palace. Earlier in Yejing, An Changqing had heard various gossips, saying that this Liangdi relied on the power of the Shi family to dominate the Prince’s Mansion. It’s a pity that although the prince wanted money, he didn’t like Shi’s family or even her. Later, after being impatient, this Liangdi completely fell out of favor.

It’s no wonder that the Shi family will be rebellious. With the wealth of the Shi family, if the prince can’t cling to the prince, the world will be in chaos, the stone family’s fat (rou) will be targeted. It is better to start first (qiang) , Grab some more chips. It is a pity that they met Xiao Zhige.

The King of the Northern War blasted the city gates, and first used the Shijia (killing sha) chickens to frighten the monkeys.

Now the Shi family has all been confiscated. The direct males of the Shi family were killed in the city, and the other collaterals who had murders were also sentenced to beheading. The female family members served as official slaves, and the rest of the family slaves and children who did not matter were exiled. .

The Shi family is worthy of being a huge wealth, and the mansion is no less than that of the forbidden city of Yejing. Xiao Zhige copied countless gold and silver treasures from it. Those common treasures and a small part of gold and silver were sealed by him and sent to Yejing. Make a superficial effort, and most of the remaining precious treasures and gold and silver were secretly detained by Xiao Zhige.

Most of the wealth of the Shi family came from the exploitation of the people. Xiao Zhige deliberately pacified the refugees. In addition to bringing the sinners of the Shi family to justice, what is left is that the author clarified the fields and recruited the refugees.

Most of these refugees were originally farmers with fields. Later, the local tycoons (qiang) forced them to sell their fields by various means. They became refugees and joined the insurgents after they didn’t make a living. These refugees did not have the ambition to grant Hou Baixiang, most of them followed the rebellion just to make a living.

Now Xiao Zhige has set aside another broad road for them-as long as the refugees who are willing to surrender can get a field, if someone in the family has been persecuted by the Shi family, they can get compensation after verification.

The division of fields alone has caused countless people’s opinions to move. Disagreements were also looming within the rebel army. There is always someone to take the lead in the rebellion, and the refugees underneath charge into the battle. The leaders in high positions have tasted the sweetness, but they will not easily give up their power. After all, not everyone is as concerned about their lives as the two leaders in the Surabaya turmoil.

They originally waited nervously to negotiate with Xiao Zhige, but didn’t want Xiao Zhige to use the power of thunder (to kill sha) Shi Kairen, and then began to determine the land and distribute it to ordinary people. In the beginning, the head of the refugees was able to suppress the people below, but when Xiao Zhige sent the two former leaders of the Surabaya Rebellion to lobby on Changjie, some people who did not participate in the uprising began to register to receive their own fields. , The turbulent refugees are no longer under their control.

First, some old and weak women and children who had not been bloodied (killed sha) secretly ran away, went to the government office to register their household registration, received the divided fields, and even found their daughters robbed by the Shi family. The news spread quickly, and even those refugees who had already gained “military merit” in the front line began to waver. After all, if you can live in peace, who is willing to rebel among ordinary people?

These people were still hesitating, but then Xiao Zhige released another message: But all the troubled people who surrender will not count the previous sins. All you need to do is to complete the tasks assigned by the government, and you will be able to pay off your merits, and you can also receive fields. Even if you have the patience, you don’t have to go to (gan) work to offset the crime, and voluntarily join the army to serve the country, you can also be exonerated from the crime.

The refugees were in a great uproar, and even without Xiao Zhige sending troops, a fight (to kill sha) had begun within the refugees. Of course, the crowded side won. Those few ambitious leaders who wanted to imitate Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were all beheaded. The remaining refugees all returned voluntarily, standing in long lines to register their fields.

The civil unrest in Gyeongju has been quelled with no effort. However, the landlord of Gyeongju City was brutally plucked by Xiao Zhige, who should pay for the crime, the money should be paid, and the land should be divided. Although the heart is full of pain, but thinking about the Shi family who is full of chaos, no matter how unwilling to give up, you can only swallow it into your stomach.

And those guilty refugees, in order to be able to get too much work as soon as possible, (gan gan) work very hard. Not only did the bombed gates of the city wall be quickly repaired, but they have even begun to build dikes and so on in accordance with Xie Ling’s requirements.

Xiao Zhige settled all things in Gyeongju, and finally wrote a long letter to An Changqing and sent it back to Yanzhou.

Along with the letter, there were also a large number of gold and silver and precious objects to play with-a small part of the wealth of the family that he had detained was charged to the Gyeongju Treasury for relief and comforting the refugees, and the remaining half were quietly transported. Back to Yanzhou.

The handwriting of the Northern Warlord was mad, and he wrote in the letter: I will keep the treasures for fun, and the gold and silver will be arranged by you. I will return as soon as I reach the southern prefectures and counties. The south is rich in products and the climate is warm, and the Shijia mansion is also magnificent. We will come to play after you give birth.

An Changqing smiled and wrote him a reply.

It’s Gyeongju, Xiao Zhige’s next place must be to Yongju. The chief general of Gyeongju is dead and there is no one in charge. Xiao Zhige said in his letter that he would temporarily transfer everything from Gyeongju to Zhou Helan, and he admired Zhou Helan very much in his words.

An Changqing replied to him in the letter that Zhou Helan’s talent is more than just being a business person. If it is useful, he will ask Zhou Helan to serve him in the future… After finishing writing, he will tell him about the situation in Yanzhou one by one, and wait for the business to be written. The end is the real family letter.

After hesitating, An Changqing didn’t tell him that she might be pregnant with twins. Xiao Zhige was already agitated when he was only pregnant with one. If he knew that one had become two, he might have to leave many things behind and come back.

In the past, I never thought that the dignified Northern Warlord would be a person who disregarded the overall situation and sentimentalism, but now An Changqing dare not gamble. He pursed his lips and smiled slightly, as if this was the general’s triumphant surprise.

After writing the family letter and handing it out to the waiting soldiers, An Changqing went to check the returned gold and silver wares to play.

The wealth of the Shi family was even more exaggerated than he had heard, but the remaining half of the wealth had already blocked the front and back yards of the General’s Mansion. There are many piles at the door. That is, Yanzhou is the site of Xiao Zhige, and no one is watching, so he dared to pile it at the door so blatantly.

It took An Changqing half a month to count all these things in the book. Looking at the figures on the accounts, she only felt hot. This is just the cash that was found, not to mention that the Shi family still has so many fields, mansions and shops… No wonder the Anqing emperor always yelled at the emptiness of the national treasury. Isn’t it emptiness? All the money went into these worms. in the pocket.

However, after the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, the money is now theirs.

The most indispensable thing in Yanzhou today is silver. The rough jade stone is very popular in the south. Even if Yongju Yeongju, Gyeongju is caught in war, other prefectures and counties still have a steady stream of gains. Although Zhou Helan is the principal, but he does not take over the power alone. The few reliable henchmen he has selected are now alone. They are not only showing their fists in the south, they have even secretly (touched Mo) (touched Mo) and started to invade Yuze.

Yuze is far away from Yejing. Although trade is forbidden, Yejing now has very little control over the place. The local official guards neglected their duties and defended Fu (Bai Bai). They were weak and not worthy. As long as the money was thrown out, some people would open the door to convenience.

Just relying on the investment of rough jadeite, Yanzhou is already very wealthy. What’s more, now he has such a large sum of money.

An Changqing turned his head and sent the gold and silver into the Yanzhou Treasury. There is no shortage of silver now. Whether it is strengthening city walls, digging canals, or developing firearms, he is very willing to invest in silver. Coupled with various measures to benefit the people, the people of Yanzhou are now living a lot easier than before. With spare money and time, business is becoming more prosperous.

The sights of Yanzhou gradually spread to other states and counties through these vendors. Regardless of how the reputation of the Northern Warlord and the princess was spread, the biggest advantage is that a steady stream of people who heard the news began to defect to Yanzhou. An Changqing did not refuse to come and asked people to register their household registration and accepted them all. As a result, the scene of Yanzhou became more and more prosperous.

Although the neighboring Liangzhou also drank soup, looking at the prosperous scene of Yanzhou, Chang Zaichang couldn’t help but feel sour. Yanzhou and Liangzhou are watching for help, and now they are tied to the same boat by the same profitable business. If something goes wrong in the future, they must always be supported in Chang and Liangzhou. Therefore, Xiao Zhige did not guard him, even the newly developed firearms. Also sent a batch to him.

Chang Zaichang loves his new firearms, like a baby. When I heard that this firearm was first proposed by An Changqing, it was really like drinking a jar of old vinegar.

Secretly envy the good brother’s blessing.

Originally, he thought that Xiao Zhige married a man and a bastard. He would not help him at all in the future. If he fights for the position of supremacy in the future, he may be criticized, but since seeing Yanzhou more and more Prosperous, looking at the firearms brought over, he began to feel deeply that even the more powerful Yue family, he was afraid that it would be no match for the help of a Northern War prince.

No matter when, the most important thing is military power. Xiao Zhige holds a heavy weapon in his hand, and now he has these powerful firearms. If he is not worried about his bad reputation, he will immediately go to Yejing for fear that no one can stop him.

Chang Jae Chang Yuzai shook his head, and happily tried his musket.
