Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

Finally returned to Zhao Jue's side, Pang Yu was inexplicably relieved, even if they had been away for more than half a year, as long as the two of them were together, the strange feeling would disappear immediately.

There are construction sites everywhere here. Although everyone is working hard and looks prosperous, they cannot avoid flying sand and rocks. The environment is naturally poor, so Zhao Jue led Pang Yu out for a stroll.

The north feels completely different from the south, and here is different from Bianjing City, the land is more vast and heroic.

In the spring of the coming year, all kinds of grain can be planted. Once the land is fertile, there should be a good harvest. Before that, the subordinates who manage agriculture have already begun to collect fertile materials and will prepare them All the materials are sprinkled into the land, and then the land is turned over, etc., among other things, the key cold-resistant vegetables are still available.

For example, the planting of Chinese cabbage that Pang Yu obtained from the system at the beginning, this kind of vegetable can be said to be very common in modern times, but it was not available in ancient times, but Pang Yu obtained a lot from the system, and it will be planted in Jiangdu in winter. Vegetables are more durable and suitable for eating in winter.

Some places have also set up vegetable greenhouses, but the cost is relatively high, and they are sold to wealthy families.

In addition to the nobles, there are many wealthy businessmen in the local area. Except for some who committed evil deeds and were found out and found evidence, most of them are safe.

Zhao Jue didn't do anything to them, after all, if these people were lost, the place would be unstable.

The land that was allocated was also those wealthy businessmen who committed all kinds of evils plus the nobles who were here at the time. Zhao Jue did not spare any of them. After the family property was confiscated, there was a lot of land. Once the homestead was established, Zhao Jue asked people to open up wasteland, and no one planted those wastelands.

In the end, part of the opened wasteland was distributed to the people who opened up the wasteland. Zhao Jue mainly provided tools and cattle.

Those displaced people never imagined that they would be given land, even if it was only two acres of land, but it was the foundation for them to live and work.

What's more, while working for Zhao Jue, there is still wages to be paid every day. At the beginning, Zhao Jue promised the local people that in addition to receiving two acres of land for reclaiming wasteland, when the village is built, they can also spend their own money. If you buy it and participate in land reclamation, you only need to spend [-]% of the money, which can be said to be very cheap.

As long as they work hard, the money they save every day is enough to buy land.

This makes the local people even more enthusiastic. Who doesn't want to be able to own land, such a thing in the past was simply unthinkable.

But this is what King Xiangyang promised. Even the people in the grassland country have heard a little about King Xiangyang's deeds. This is why some cities let Xiangyang King's army enter without even resisting.

Compared with being unable to survive and starve to death, they have a better impression of King Xiangyang who does not attack ordinary people at all.

Especially when Zhao Jue entered the city, he set up countless cauldrons and gave the people inside and outside the city a full meal.

"Before I heard that there was a catastrophe in the north, starvation everywhere, now it seems that it seems to be okay?" Pang Yu was sitting in a carriage, and they were going to Fucheng. Before that, Zhao Jue came to the port specially to pick up Pang Yu.

"It is true that many people died before, and they were all burned directly." Zhao Jue explained.

As for why he didn't dare to bury it on the spot, he didn't want to tell Pang Yu, even he was horrified when he saw it.

Pang Yu is also a modern person, even if Zhao Jue doesn’t say it, he probably knows something. When a person is extremely hungry, he dares to eat anything. There are not too many cases of ancient people eating that kind of meat. go down.

The dead, in the eyes of those who are hungry and crazy, are probably just a big meal.

It's no wonder that Zhao Jue chose to burn them all, not to mention this cruel act, and the diseases that may be caused by the dead bodies, which are very troublesome. In the end, they had to burn them all.

Fortunately, the large amount of supplies delivered by Pang Yu relieved the food crisis. Anyone who has the strength can get enough food, and the price of food in the city is not as high as before.

Because those who hoarded food didn't dare at all, Zhao Jue killed them as soon as he entered the city to make an example, and the rich merchants with problems were directly pulled to kill them, and all the wealthy merchants in the city were watched and read out the crimes.

Anyone with a sane mind would not dare to make the same mistakes again.

To say that this is the first, and the second is that there have been a lot of bandits and bandits in the north. They are all people who can't survive, or people who are bandits in the first place, and continue to harm ordinary people and even wealthy businessmen down the mountain.

Zhao Jue directly led people to wipe them out. With this combat power, no one would be dissatisfied, and once again became famous in the first battle.

The bandits around here ran and caught them. After all, there were mines in the north, how could Zhao Jue let these strong laborers go.

On the other hand, in the original cell in the city, people will re-examine it. If they are guilty, they will be thrown into the mines. If they are innocent, they will be released directly. There is no need for food in the cell.

Of course, there aren't too many people living for free in the prison. It may be that the environment in the city is a little bit better, not as miserable as outside, but it's just a little better.

Now the vibe here has been swept away, and the yamen has been replaced by people brought by Zhao Jue, not to mention the quick resolution of the case, at least they handle it fairly.

Because of this famine, many victims were displaced. Basically, they settled wherever they fled. When they returned, who knew if they died alone. The people who could come here were basically the fate of their families.

According to the household registration system established by Pang Yu in Xiangyang City at the beginning, all the people who settled in the local area have a household registration book here, and in the future, they will come to this household registration office to increase or decrease if they get married, have children or die.

In this way, the population can be counted very well and the management is convenient. In ancient times, you could not go out just by saying, I want to go out. Whether it is entering the city or staying, it all depends on your directions.

Without guidance, it is simply impossible to move an inch.

However, like the inn built by the imperial court, ordinary people cannot stay in it. It is called a post station. It is a place for officials who pass military information to rest, board, and change horses. Therefore, they will not receive ordinary people. They have never stayed in it before. Zhao Jue is from the Li family.

After Zhao Jue occupied the new site, such an inn was built as quickly as possible. At the same time, there was a post office next door, which was used to deliver parcels and letters. Currently, they could only deliver to nearby places.

In the post office, there is a new job, letter writing, as long as you buy stamps, and the stamps are printed by the post office.

Naturally, Bai Yutang and the others went to Fucheng with Pang Yu, and Bai Yutang's brother wanted to stay and investigate, so there was no need to worry about safety at the port here.

As for Zhao Jue's guards, the number has reached tens of thousands. Although they were all members of the Xiang Army before, after more than half a year of transformation, each of them should not be underestimated.

Unlike being dispersed by the army of the steppe country, even if they are dispersed now, one by one, even if they are alone, they can kill many people.

Because the prairie country is already asking for peace, it is not easy for them to continue to attack. Pang Yu believes that as long as his prince is given another two or three years, it will not be difficult to conquer the entire prairie country.

Who would have thought that the majestic king would be cowarded so quickly, and it would be over at the beginning. Even if there is only one corner, it is already a zero breakthrough for the Central Plains.

The most gratifying thing is that a few horse farms have also been laid down this time. They no longer have to worry about having no horses, and they can also form their own cavalry!

This time escorting Zhao Jue and the others back to Fucheng, there were hundreds of guards, all of whom belonged to Zhao Jue's personal guards, which was enough.

For the convenience of movement, when Pang Yu designed the clothes of the guards, he also used his brains. It should be comfortable and defensive, and the most important thing is to be handsome!

All the costumes are black, the same color from head to toe, giving people a sense of mystery, even the weapons are black.

Even the carriage they ride in is pure black, there is no way, who makes his prince like it.

That's how Pang Yu dotes on his lord, although from outsiders' perspective, it should be Zhao Jue who dotes on Pang Yu, after all Pang Yu is several years younger than Zhao Jue.

But in terms of psychological age, Pang Yu thinks he is more than [-] years older than Zhao Jue, so of course he is the one who spoils Zhao Jue.

"Ah." Someone who said he wanted to pamper Zhao Jue lay in Zhao Jue's arms, was fed as it should be, and said appreciatively after eating, "It's delicious."

"It's delicious." Zhao Jue likes to watch the cubs eat, and every time he looks at it, he feels very good.

Because no matter what Pang Yu ate, it looked delicious, as if after he ate it, the food became delicious, and even Zhao Jue had an appetite.

Although Zhao Jue eats a lot, his pickiness is also a hindrance to restricting his eating. When eating with Pang Yu, it doesn't seem to show it, but when he is alone and there is no meal that can make him appetite Sometimes, he would rather be hungry than eat.

This caused great headaches for the palace people who followed him, especially the palace people and even the imperial cooks who had been with Zhao Jue for a long time. A few years ago, they thought that their prince was already healed.

It didn't turn out, just because there was a cub by his side, his picky eaters seemed to be hidden.

But after half a year of separation, Zhao Jue's pickiness returned, and even became more serious.

If it weren't for Pang Yu's good logistics and fresh ingredients every time, the palace people would worry that their prince would starve to death.

Facts have proved that it is impossible to starve to death. As long as there is a letter from Pang Yu, Zhao Jue will eat well, but after a few days, he has returned to his old self. A few letters come, the palace man really wants to write.

Fortunately, Pang Yu directly killed him this time, and also saw that Zhao Jue didn't eat well.

hum!Let's see if you still go on a hunger strike!

If the prince hadn't asked them not to tell Mr. Pang Xiaolang, they would have filed a complaint a long time ago. Unfortunately, they had to obey the prince's order. As a member of the palace, Zhao Jue was their god.

Zhao Jue has already made up his mind that when he returns to Bianjing, he will ask for a marriage gift from his brother, and he will let his cub become his concubine in an open and honest manner.

He has made great achievements this time, and his brother will not object to anything he wants, but he still has to plan something, after all, his cub is a boy.
