I don't want to be king

Sanhe started planting the first season of rice.

A good road, a smell of urine from the scourge of cattle and sheep.

The most obvious thing is that the number of students in the school has been reduced by half. There are children from local families and children from refugees.

Whether it was Xie Zan or He Jixiang, they gave repeated orders not to play truant, but it was useless.

Their parents felt that it would be a pity not to go home to farm after learning martial arts and gaining strength.

Lin Yi was also helpless.

Even in modern society, there is still autumn harvest leave!

What's more, in this world in front of us, children aged eleven or twelve are at the time when they are working hard.

But these are trivial matters. The food and money in his warehouse flowed out like water.

It is a loan, who knows if these people will pay it back in the end?

He Jixiang's road construction project had to be stopped for the time being, and the money was processed repeatedly, but no craftsmen came to work.

In any case, the land at home is fundamental.

The only ones left on the construction site were some prisoners of reform through labor.

He Jixiang can only use these limited labor forces to repair bridges.

On the day of hastily finishing the work, to his surprise, there were crowds of people on both sides of the strait.

After the fence was removed, the bees crowded onto the bridge, densely packed with human heads.

Some people panicked and rode their mules back and forth five or six times.

Isn't it spring plowing?

Are you all so free?

He Jixiang was worried that the bridge would be crushed and collapsed.

After all, it is newly built, and some places have not yet been firmly established.

At that time, I will be ashamed and I will not be able to explain to the prince.

In the end, I had no choice but to arrange people to guard on both sides of the bank and line up to get on the bridge.

All in all, the day of the Bridge Bridge was the happiest day ever for the residents of Baiyun City.

This bridge has solved the historical difficulty of crossing the river in a real sense.

From then on, you can go to the opposite bank without using sampans or bamboo rafts!

For the first time, Lin Yi followed the crowd to the southeast bank.

Apparently, it's much wilder here than on the North Shore.

There is not a decent house, most of them are shacks that can barely shelter from the wind and rain, except for thatch, there are plantain leaves.

This means that there is also a lot of uncultivated wasteland.

Xie Zan once again organized manpower to measure the acres of land, and the militia patrolled to prevent random occupation of the acres.

Sanhe is the private property of Prince He.

No one said it, but everyone has gradually acquiesced in their hearts.

However, the more spring plowing, the more things happen, and unexpected situations always happen.

After Wang Xing asked the prince for instructions, Sanhe added another regulation: not paying wages is a violation of the law.

Especially those country gentry and landlords who exploited and exploited hired workers, even second-generation ancestors like Wang Xing couldn't look down on them.

Many country gentry and landlords are already over half a century old, and it is impossible to go to reform through labor.

Lin Yi had them tied up: paraded through the streets.

Let them understand what shame is.

"Rebel!"

Wang Cheng looked at Wang Xing, as if he didn't know this son.

To offend so many people at once is to be an old friend!

There is no place to put his old face!

How will you be a man in the future?

Wang Xing laughed and said, "If you don't offend them, you have to offend the lord. It's up to father to decide which one is more important."

"Hey," Wang Cheng understood that what his son said was right, "but, if others don't tell you, how can you, Uncle Wen, insult you like this?"

"Father, the prince and the prince didn't arrest you, it was because of the sake of the child."

Wang Xing sighed.

Other houses are not clean.

How could his royal family be clean?

"Then what about the Yan family!"

Wang Cheng said angrily, "He Yanzhen bullies men and women, and he does all kinds of evil!"

Wang Xingyou complained, "It's Daddy's fault, why didn't you give me a good sister?"

Wang Cheng was stunned.

After all, nothing more to say.

Apart from the fact that the Yan family was kept in the dark, it was no secret that the Prince He had taken a fancy to the concubine daughter of the Yan family.

The neighbors could only stare blankly, expressing their envy!

A concubine daughter in exchange for a chance to get close to the prince, even a fool would know how to do it!

Lin Yi's crackdown on wage arrears was successful this time.

All the gentry and landlords who want to save face have paid off their wages to their employees.

It's just that his reputation of "inhumanity" has spread in Sanhe.

It is still these gentry and landlords who control the direction of public opinion.

Bao Kui was so angry that he wanted to arrest people.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "There is a word, how to say it, grab the mouth of the mud swallow, cut the iron..."

Wang Qingbang said, "Take the mouth of the clay swallow, cut off the iron needle, scrape the face of the golden Buddha and search carefully, and you can't find it.

The quail crops look for peas, the meat is chopped from the legs of the quail, and the fat is cut from the belly of the mosquito.

Thanks to the old man! "

He Jixiang said, "My lord is indeed very knowledgeable!"

"praise me?"

Lin Yi said proudly, "This word can describe these country gentry and landlords, none of them are fun.

They scolded me, which just proved that I was right.

It's dangerous if you flatter me. "

Wang Qingbang said, "The prince is still open-minded, I am ashamed."

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "No, keep it in your heart first, and then slowly let them understand that the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, so don't live too arrogantly."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Wang Qingbang smiled wryly.

He can always guess the beginning, but not the end.

However, it also feels natural.

This prince, from inside to outside, is not magnanimous.

The most admirable thing is that the outside and the inside are the same!

The sun is shining brightly.

Seven large ships stopped in the Xijiang River, causing a sensation in the city again.

It's not because of how much goods Tian Shiyou brought back or how much money he made.

The sea has never been calm. Occasionally, a dozen ships will go out and one or two will come back.

Like Tian Shiyou retreated from the body, safe and sound, never heard of, never seen before!

The commanders and envoys of the capital began to auction off the shipping license, and the highest bidder won it.

He Wangfu gave a guarantee that Sanhe Southeast will be unimpeded.

Few believers, so in the first so-called auction, this license was only sold for 3 taels of silver.

The winner is Liang Gen, who owns a mine at home.

Lin Yi didn't care, at least he had a good start.

Lin Ning delivered the letter as usual.

Lin Yi no longer had much sense of expectation, and tossing and turning was just such boring court affairs for him.

Therefore, he didn't even bother to read it himself, and handed it over to Wang Qingbang directly.

"My lord..."

Wang Qingbang's face changed drastically.

"what happened?"

Lin Yi yawned.

"The Holy Majesty ordered General Yuan Ang to be the main general, and King Yong to be the deputy general, to enter Chuzhou to suppress the rebellion!"

Wang Qingbang handed the translated note to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't answer, he waved his hand and said, "So what?"

"What the lord said is."

After Wang Qingbang finished speaking, he didn't stay in the Wangfu and hurried to find old men like Xie Zan.

It is not a good thing for old men like them that King Yong became powerful.

Chapter 84

late at night.

All commanders and envoys, a group of old men stood or sat, all frowning and sighing, no one was happy, and the atmosphere was completely different from the past.

The tiny flame of the candle on the table was shaken by the wind coming in from the window, as if it would go out at any moment.

Shi Quan was frightened as he watched from the sidelines, he was really afraid that it would suddenly be wiped out, and then fall into darkness.

They have old arms and legs, it is difficult to find a fire, and it is not easy to get up when they fall.

He glanced at Xie Zan and said, "Master Xie?

Shall I add a candle? "

Ever since He Jixiang tried to produce explosives and set fire to the warehouse, he told the prince that they would deduct their "monthly money"!

Poor God!

These old men have never received the so-called "monthly money" from the palace!

There is no place to buckle if you want to buckle!

Surprisingly, this is the case, the old man Xie Zan can still "find another way".

They actually deducted their daily necessities.

It is normal to eat and drink, but the ink, paper, inkstone, candles, clothes, etc. have all been deducted.

As a result, they are now cautious about using a candle at night.
