The villain becomes a heartthrob after being reborn

Zhao Yueyao's study is facing the sun, and it is the best Fengshui place in the entire palace.The bookcases and desks are made of insect-proof sandalwood, worth hundreds of gold.Every day Liuzhi would come to the study to clean up in person, afraid that the little maids would break things with their rough hands.

Zhou Qishi enviously touched the white paper and inkstone on the table, Zhao Yueyao felt that he was pitiful: "What's the matter, you can study with me in the future. In the future, I will inherit the fiefdom of Nanyue and give you an official. Just do it for me."

Zhao Yueyao was weak and sick when he was a child. The princess was afraid that he would die young, so she was raised in the palace and rarely played with her peers.The cousins ​​on his mother's side are all good, only he is always taught a lesson.

So Zhou Qishi, who couldn't even recognize the word, made Zhao Yueyao feel a little protective.

Zhou Qishi listened to what Zhao Yueyao said, and found it funny and childish: "If others know that they have fallen into the eyes of the young prince, they can become an official, maybe you will have no peace when you go out in the future."

This is true, Zhao Yueyao nodded: "Then you should study hard. In the future, you will be admitted to an official position by yourself, and no one will gossip."

As long as there is no major problem, the old prince doesn't care about Zhao Yueyao's affairs.The concubine wished that someone would study with Zhao Yueyao, so as to have a comparison and push him to make progress.

Half a month later, news of a riot came from the mine.The old prince was furious, and threw the letter on the ground: "It's unheard of, those untouchables dare to do this!"

The old prince has a lot of power in the fief, he can directly appoint and dismiss officials, and he can also formulate taxes. In the fief, he is a simplified emperor.

The officials and subordinates knelt on the ground and trembled, and someone volunteered: "My lord, the villain is willing to lead troops to suppress it and share his worries."

The old prince nodded: "Go this time, you don't have to show mercy, those who resist will be killed directly!"

When Zhao Yueyao heard the news, he ran over quickly. When he heard the old prince's killing without mercy, he was startled, opened the door and strode forward.

"No, Dad, you can't do that."

The old prince's face darkened: "Zhao Yueyao, go back to your class, this matter is not your business."

Zhao Yueyao clearly remembered that the incident at the mine was a year later, how could it happen so early, people were caught off guard.

"He Da, now you take people there and kill all those traitors on the spot."

A bearded man knelt on one knee and was about to leave after receiving the order.

Zhao Yueyao was in a hurry, and stopped him: "Uncle He, wait, there must be something hidden about this matter, don't act so rudely."

He Da bent down: "Little prince, the villain dare not disobey the orders given by the prince, please forgive the villain for being rude."

These people did not listen to him.Realizing this, Zhao Yueyao frowned and walked away.

The light rain pattered and wet the yellow mud on the ground, making the road even more muddy.The horseshoes hurriedly splashed across the small puddles on the road, staining the nearby dogtail grass with yellow muddy water.

Two black horses galloped down the road, one behind the other.

It was Zhao Yueyao and Zhou Qishi who were sitting on it, and they were rushing to the mine.

He Da has already brought 500 people to the mine, all of them are fully equipped and are elites of the palace.

Zhao Yueyao got off his horse, dressed in inconspicuous black clothes, with a rain hat on his head, and a long sword hanging from his waist, which almost scared the mine manager out of his wits.

"Who are you, how dare you come here to make trouble!"

Zhao Yueyao raised his bamboo hat slightly, revealing half of his face: "It's me, where did He Da take people?"

The steward let out an ouch, and his feet slipped a few times due to the rain: "My lord, Mr. He and the others went to Nanliang Mountain. Those miners set fire and robbed things, and they all gathered and went to Nanliang Mountain. "

"Damn them, the fire burned all the ore that was going to be supplied to the imperial court!"

Zhao Yueyao: "How long have they been there?"

The steward did some calculations: "Two hours, little prince, let's sit in the servant's room."

Even if it is raining, it can't calm his anxious heart at all.If the two teams fight fiercely and suffer heavy casualties, no matter which side wins, the situation will slip out of control.

"Zhou Qishi, let's go up the mountain!"

Regardless of the steward's obstruction, the two insisted on going up the mountain to look for He Da.The steward gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and led a few people up the mountain together.

Nanliang stretches for several miles, and the mountain is several thousand meters above sea level. The top of the mountain is covered with snow that does not melt all year round. Few people can climb to the top of the mountain and come back alive.Because of the snow, the trees at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain are very lush, and there are all kinds of strange plants.

Therefore, hiding in Nanliang Mountain was a very subtle move.

Zhao Yueyao followed the messy footsteps and found He Da who was upset because of the loss of manpower.

"Uncle He, have you met those miners?"

He Da smashed the sledgehammer on the ground in frustration: "Yes, I didn't expect them to gather so many untouchables, about thousands of them. They are all skinny and skinny, but they fight very cruelly. Like not dying."

"Injured dozens of my brothers!"

Someone was lying on the ground, screaming, his body was red and swollen, and there was blood flowing.

Zhou Qishi stepped forward to inspect it: "This wound is from being bitten."

The wounded soldier gasped, thinking of the scene just now, he felt lingering fear: "Yes, could it be that they are the reincarnation of vicious dogs? When they bit me, their eyes glowed green."

Zhou Qishi said to Zhao Yueyao: "It seems that there are not only miners but also those hungry refugees."

Zhao Yueyao thought for a while and asked He Da: "Uncle He, what do you want to do next?"

He Da hammered the tree trunk hard, very unwilling: "I want to go back to the palace to inform the prince about this matter, and then send some strong men from the barracks."

Zhao Yueyao suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Uncle He, do you know why you need to build dikes and ditches when controlling floods?"

He Da was upset, he didn't know why he asked such a question, but he answered patiently: "Probably to save the money for building the dam."

Zhao Yueyao shook his head: "No, it's better to block than to block. No matter how good the embankment is, it will be washed away by the flood one day, but if the ditches are built, the flood will be used by us like tamed livestock."

"Now these exposed miners and refugees are the same. They are like floods now. There are not so many dams in Nanyue. It can be prevented once, but not twice."

"It's better to block than to block, I want to recruit them."

He Da had never heard such words before, thinking about it secretly, the more he thought about it, the more subtle he felt.I was shocked in my heart that the little prince who was usually ignorant had some real skills.But he hesitated: "This matter is very important, the young prince should tell the prince and let him make a decision."

Zhao Yueyao's expression was condensed: "Okay, you go back and tell Dad about my decision, and leave everyone injured for my order."

He Da refused to leave: "Little lord, you are worth a thousand dollars. If those untouchables hurt you, your subordinates may die. Why don't you go back to the palace with your subordinates."

Zhao Yueyao drew out his long sword and slashed at the tree. The sword was so sharp that he cut off the trunk directly.

"He Da, if you say father on the left and tell me to go back on the right, will you still pay attention to me?"

Seeing Zhao Yueyao getting angry, He Da was helpless, and at the same time, he seemed to see the aura of the prince when he was young, saying the same thing, brave and resolute.

This young man who they usually thought was too stubborn to be used for anything, had just shown his sharpness at some point. He Da felt complicated and turned around to leave.

Zhou Qishi comforted him and said, "Don't panic, we can't confront those people now."

Zhao Yueyao raised the corners of his lips: "I didn't intend to meet them at first. Thousands of people just won a game and robbed food. It is impossible for them not to light a fire. When thick smoke rises in the sky, it is When the position is revealed."

Don't think he doesn't know anything, there are too many strategies in the book.

Zhao Yueyao is full of ambition: "I will wait for them to eat the last bit of food, go down the mountain when they are exhausted, and catch them all in one go."

"Let's go down the mountain!"

The manager of the mine was flattering at the side: "The little prince is really a dragon and a phoenix, with extraordinary wisdom. In the future, Nanyue will definitely be able to improve to a higher level in your hands."

Zhao Yueyao felt good in his heart, and said lightly on his face, "When I make them all surrender, it won't be too late for you to praise me again."

In the mine, Zhao Yueyao had nothing to do, and Zhou Qishi slowly walked around and watched

He had never observed this place so carefully before, the mine was responsible for one-third of Nanyue's financial revenue.

In such a profitable place, the environment is unexpectedly harsh.Miners sleep in thatched huts, which are sweltering with mosquitoes in summer and cold in winter without shelter from wind and snow, and the surrounding area is filled with the stench of excrement.

In the thatched shed, there were painful cries.

The two of Zhao Yueyao went in to check and found that he was the one who had fallen into the mine before and had his leg broken.

He was older, and when he saw Zhao Yueyao, he wanted to turn over and get out of bed to salute: "My lord, ouch..."

Yellow pus oozes from his legs and emits a pungent smell.Brown mottled blood stains stuck to the fabric, and there were mosquitoes and flies flying around.If you look closely, there are white worms rolling around the wound.

Zhao Yueyao couldn't hold back, and retched a few times.

The man turned sideways weakly, trying to hide his injured leg.

Zhou Qishi stopped him, and Zhao Yueyao asked: "Isn't there anyone here to treat you? Didn't I call the doctor?"

There was despair on the man's face: "Doctors are going to treat people with minor injuries. For people like us, even if we spend a lot of money to cure them, we can no longer make money from mining."

It means letting them fend for themselves here.

Zhao Yueyao suddenly understood the reasons for the miners' riots. They ate and lived like animals, doing physical labor.Once there are casualties, the only option is to wait for death slowly.

If it were him, he might not be able to endure the first day.

Now in front of him, the most important thing is actually to improve the lives of the miners.

Zhao Yueyao called the steward: "You go to the city to hire a doctor, change their medicines, and try to heal the seriously injured people in the hut. I will pay for the medical expenses."

"Also, what do you usually eat at night?"

There was surprise on the steward's wrinkled face, it was the first time he couldn't say all kinds of beautiful words so tactfully: "Little prince, those people can't contribute to the mine even after they are cured, they are all useless, you still have to spend Money to give them medical treatment?"

Zhao Yueyao was a little strange: "Even if they are disabled, they are also my citizens of Nanyue. They can't mine, and they can do other things."

The steward lowered his head: "Yes, little prince. The mine usually eats wild vegetables at night."

Zhao Yueyao had never heard of it, so the steward asked someone to bring up a bowl, and the green juice was flowing in the bowl, mixed with some chaff.He tried to take a sip, and as soon as he entered his throat, his mouth was filled with a sticky and bitter taste, and the chaff was still pulling his throat!

Eating this kind of food every day, and having to work, my iron-clad body couldn't hold on.

Zhou Qishi handed over a bowl of water to Zhao Yueyao who was choking and coughing: "You are not Shennong, why are you still testing yourself for poison?"

That said, it's even more disgusting!

Zhao Yueyao glared at him, and suddenly remembered the delicacy that Zhou Shaoqing made in the later stage, the thing called white jade cake.

Use the cheapest and cheapest beans that cost two cents a catty.Grinding and adding water, together with a little yellow liquid extracted with coarse salt, it becomes a precious food popular in Kyoto.Not only nutritious, but also suitable for all ages.

With the white jade cake, she made a lot of money.Not only that, relying on this huge amount of wealth, he also opened up contacts for the prince and successfully ascended to the throne.

Zhao Yueyao doesn't make money, he wants to use white jade cakes to find a way for the people in the mine to survive.

Now there are only about 200 people left in the mine, most of whom are old and weak, women and children, and some of them were seriously injured, lying in the grass shed waiting to die.

These people are not suitable for mining at all.

Zhao Yueyao took out a piece of silver about ten taels from his pocket and gave it to the steward: "Buy all this money for beans and coarse salt."

The steward: "Yes, the villain will go right away."

Zhou Qishi: "Right now, beans cost two cents a catty, and coarse salt twenty coins. You can buy four thousand catties of beans and one hundred catties of coarse salt. It sounds like a lot, but it's actually not enough for the people in the mine to consume."

Zhao Yueyao hooked his fingers mysteriously: "It's not for them to eat. I have a secret recipe to make flowers from these beans. Do you want to hear it?"

Seeing his smug little appearance, Zhou Qishi's heart was burning hot, and he put his ears together.

The moist heat hit his ears, making them tingly and numb, Zhou Qishi's earlobe was red and dripping blood, and he only heard five soft words: "I won't tell you!"

Zhou Qishi's heart was as hot as magma churning when these words were ticked off. He pressed the triumphant man on the table, clasped his white wrist and asked, "If you don't tell me, then I will use words and deeds to extract a confession."

Zhao Yueyao was lying on the table with his back, Zhou Qishi leaned over, his eyes seemed to be shining faintly under the refraction of the sun, he pulled his two hands up and pressed them firmly, Zhao Yueyao was restrained so that he couldn't move.

Annoyed, Zhao Yueyao kicked Zhou Qishi between his legs, who knew that Zhou Qishi bent his legs and clamped Zhao Yueyao's feet.

This time it really became a fish on the chopping board, Zhou Qishi looked at the puffy little fish under him, and teased him: "I'll give you another chance, do you want to talk?"

Zhao Yueyao turned his head and made up his mind that he would learn martial arts well in the days to come and never lose to this bastard again.

Zhou Qishi stretched out his index finger and scratched Zhao Yueyao's body.

"Haha, you stop. Haha, damn Zhou Qishi, I will kill you with one sword."

Tears came out from the laughing boy below him, wrapped in a pair of clear pupils, clear and lingling, reflecting his expression full of desire.

Zhou Qishi withdrew his hand and straightened Zhao Yueyao's messed up skirt.A small seed called desire was quietly planted in his heart.
