Chapter 289 Princess, aren’t you afraid? (page 12)
At this time, Chen Xingyao was enduring the pain caused by Chen Luoxue's dressing of his wound, and he made a "hiss" sound from time to time while sucking in the cold air.
While talking to Chen Li next to him about Chen Qiong in Jeju, the reason why other medical staff were not allowed in was because they needed to talk about Jeju alone.
Chen Xingyao asked without any roundabout ways: "Did you really not know about Chen Qiong in advance?"
A trace of panic flashed across Chen Li's handsome face, as if he was afraid that people outside would hear him, he said quickly:
"I, the Chen family from Jinzhou, have never cooperated with Chen Qiong, nor will I collude with the Tatars!"
Chen Luoxue's hand when applying the medicine became a little heavier, and Chen Xingyao said hurriedly:
"Please, please. Let me ask. General A found a lot of letters in the secret room. If anything happens to your family, it's best to talk to the princess as soon as possible."
Chen Li frowned and pondered, then shook his head after a while and said, "Father did have a letter with him, but it was normal. There was absolutely no letter about colluding with the Tatars."
The three of them were relieved, but the rabbit was in trouble and the fox was sad. Chen Li whispered: "There will be no Chen family in Jeju from now on."
Chen Xingyao said: "Chen Hui's two sons and daughters are still alive. The land that belongs to them will be given to them by the princess."
Chen Luoxue said: "Maybe they will not return to Jeju."
Chen Hui's wife might have left with her children and never returned to the north again.
Chen Li added: "The princess has given an order that after Jeju, the laws of Youzhou will be implemented. All Chen's land assets will be confiscated. Half of the land in Chen's manor will be distributed to tenants, and the other half will be used for military hoarding."
Chen Xingyao could hear the regret in his words, because according to the past, the land of the gentry clan could not be confiscated in such a thing, and would be taken back by the main family and inherited by the side branches.
So he asked: "What? Do you, Jinzhou Chen family, want to inherit the land of Jeju Chen family?"
Chen Luoxue replied faster than her brother: "How is that possible! This goes against the princess's order!
Do you know how much effort the princess put in to return the land enclosed by the nobles in Youzhou to the people? "
“Youzhou Law is so good, it’s just right to implement it in Jeju. Look at us Youzhou people, because of Youzhou Law, we are all rich, well fed and clothed, our children can study, and women can find jobs in workshops. "
"And what about Jeju? Countless people died of cold and starvation every winter. The nobles built a high wall and sang, danced and feasted inside every day. Outside the high wall were the bodies of the people who had frozen to death. Can't you see it?"
"The princess has said that half of the Chen family's land in Jeju will be distributed to the people and the other half will be used for military hoarding. That must be the case! No matter who it is, don't get involved again!"
Seeing that his sister was getting more and more excited as she spoke, Chen Li hurriedly interrupted her: "No one wants to go against the princess, let alone our Jinzhou Chen family."
"Luoxue, calm down."
Chen Xingyao moved his arms with difficulty, looked at Chen Luoxue's body tied up like a rice dumpling, and looked at her angry look. As if he felt that things were not chaotic enough, he asked in a low voice:
"If one day the princess wants to implement Youzhou law in Jinzhou, will you agree?"
Chen Luoxue raised her chin slightly, with undisguised admiration for Princess Ling in her eyes: "Of course I agree! I will also persuade my father to agree and the Jinzhou nobles to agree!"
Chen Luoxue was not stupid. Of course she knew that Chen Xingyao did it on purpose, so she asked back:
"If one day, the princess wants to implement Youzhou law in Chang'an, will your family agree?"
These words shocked both Chen Li and Chen Xingyao, and they said in unison: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Li lowered his voice and said, "If outsiders hear what you said, they will think that Princess Ling intends to rebel. How can any capital abide by the border laws?"
Chen Luoxue said stubbornly: "There are no outsiders here, so I will ask Mr. Chen, will you agree?"
Chen Xingyao suddenly became depressed: "What's the use of disagreeing with me? My words can't count."
When the three of them looked at each other, they all felt that the waves were rolling and unstoppable.
Later generations' view of this situation is that the wheel of history is rolling forward and no one can stop it.
They couldn't explain the reason, but all three of them had a feeling that one day, the entire Great Xia would use Youzhou Law.
If Shen Dongsuo knew that these three Chen family members were hiding in the room talking about this, he would definitely say that you think too highly of me...
Li Nianyu led people to blow up all the narrow mountain roads and block them all, so that no one or one horse could come from northern Xinjiang.
I don’t know how the news spread, or are Youzhou people more interested in watching the excitement than people in other places?
There happened to be government officials in that area organizing the people to move. As a result, they saw soldiers driving iron beast-like chariots to blow up the mountains. Many people ran to watch from a distance.
I saw with my own eyes that as Li Nianyu waved his flag again and again, the mountains exploded and the ground cracked, the mountain roads were blocked by boulders, and the swamps were filled with gravel.
The mountain roads that the common people often walked were also expanded. The common people discussed there as if they had seen a fight between gods and immortals. If Yu Gong had such a thing back then, he would have moved away from Wangwu Mountain long ago.
If the Jingwei bird had such a thing, the East China Sea might also be filled up.
We in Youzhou have this magical weapon, so why are we afraid of the Tatars?
When Shen Dongsu heard about the heated discussion among the people in the city, he thought it was an unexpected surprise. He smiled at Yue Jian and said:
"Look, mobilization before the war has been omitted, and the people are greatly encouraged. Previously, the Chen family sent people to secretly instigate, and some people wanted to imitate the aliens and flee to the mountains."
"Now that they see the power of gunpowder, no one wants to escape."
Shen Dongsu felt that after this battle, Youzhou would hold a military parade every year to let the people at the border know that we are capable of protecting them.
This saves them from always thinking about escaping and if the news spreads, more people from other places will come to Youzhou to settle down.
The fact that the mountain road is blocked does not guarantee that the Tatars can be absolutely stopped. Maybe Chen Qiong has arranged another route.
Another thing that worries Shen Dongsu is the base. Although the situation in the base has not spread, it is hard to guarantee that Chen Qiong did not know something from those noble ladies.
Anyone who knows how many ships the Jiang family visits every year can calculate how much supplies the base has. It might be used as a large grain depot, and the Tatars specially send people there to plunder.
Shen Dongsu was about to arrange for people to go to the base when the maid came to report that Lord Shen was back.
Everyone knew that Shen Linzhong was her brother. When he came, he never came to 'see', but to 'go home'.
Shen Dongsu hurriedly invited the eldest brother to come in. He hadn't seen him for more than half a month. He had scrawled a lot, his beard was not shaved clean, there were heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his skin already had the rough feeling of someone who has lived by the seaside for a long time.
Suddenly, she thought of a question. The eldest brother has been at the base for a long time, and he has never been so sloppy before?
As the saying goes, women look after themselves, and men do the same. Is there no one at the base who makes Big Brother care about his face? In other words, it has happened before!
After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that it was true. Chen Luoxue had returned to the Chen family in Jinzhou for more than half a month, but had not left in Youzhou.
She quietly raised the corners of her mouth and decided not to be the matchmaker pulling the red string for the time being. Chen Luoxue was still young, and the current situation in Youzhou was special.
She even felt sorry for the child when she gave birth to her own child, so why bother trying to secure a match for someone else? Let them have a slow, platonic love!
