Chapter 3 Everything is messy in troubled times

"Zhou Guoping's "Heart Burning Plan" has been implemented."

When Qian Shaoshao found Yun Zhao, he found that he was taking two sons to pick elm seeds.

The father and son were chewing elm seeds in their mouths, which seemed very happy.

"Has the White Lotus Sect been removed?"

"Not yet, the crazy officers and soldiers are clearing the countryside. However, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect seem to have no intention of escaping. The remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Nanjing hid in the homes of some wealthy families and continued to resist stubbornly. The White Lotus Sect members in the countryside were organized and continued to rob the house.

Nanjing City, and Yingtian Mansion…”

Yun Zhao handed the money to a small branch full of thick elm seeds and said, "Don't tell me these."

Qian Shaoshao heard this and took the elm seed, then took out the fire note and lit the secret report in his hand.

“This matter has nothing to do with us.”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Send Zhou Guoping's woman to Hanzhong."

Qian Shaoshao frowned and said, "It's not said..."

Yun Zhao interrupted Qian Shaoshao and said, "Compared to destroying Zhou Guoping, Zhou Guoping likes women, I can still accept it."

Qian Shaoshao said: "She is a secret spy, so she should face some things."

Yun Zhao shook her head and said, "Before she became a spy, she was a woman, or a kind-hearted woman. She just had a heart that was unyielding, so she strived to be the best everywhere.

She is different from Han Xiufen. Han Xiufen simply likes to make achievements.

To be honest, Zhou Guoping's current appearance has a lot to do with us."

Qian Shaoshao took a bite of elm seeds and said, "Why don't you ask about Yingtian Mansion, but you are paying more attention to Zhou Guoping."

Yun Zhao glanced at Qian Shaoshao and said, "We must be people-oriented."

Qian Shaoshao thought this sentence made sense. After all, in Nanjing, the people of Yingtian Prefecture had not yet become ministers of Lantian...

After entering the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Yun Zhao changed a lot.

From the perspective of little money, Yun Zhao has become an emperor.

I am already so calm that I have no more feelings or colors when facing any state affairs.

However, as long as you don’t talk about state affairs, Yun Zhao is a purely kind person, or even a sentimental person.

When he hears that the people's lives are still in trouble and the people are in trouble, he will burst into tears, be furious, and even donate his salary to help those in need.

He even watched the era drama rehearsed by students of Yushan Academy. When he encountered some sad scenes, he would cry...

However, the rebellion in Yingtian Prefecture caused more than 20,000 casualties, and many salt merchants and noble families suffered the disaster. The scene was terrible, but he turned a deaf ear to it.

Just like now, because he has elm seeds in his hand, he has attracted many children. While he is distributing elm seeds, he also smiles like a child.

Everyone is changing!

Yun Zhao is the source of these changes.

If Yun Zhao was angry at this time, Yun Yang would not dare to say a word.

This is a natural thing. When everyone starts a business, their feelings are above everything else. When their careers grow bigger, the rules become supreme.

It doesn’t matter whoever eats an apple brother. How to divide a golden apple should be said and said.

Xie Zhi left Lantian County and went to the Lantian City. The purpose was to give Yun Zhao and his brothers a chance to cut off themselves. When it is time to talk about love, everyone can talk about love.

After all the rules are formulated, it is time for the rules to speak.

Lantian County has now ruled more than 10% of the Ming Dynasty, and their expansion speed has not slowed down, but is accelerating.

The Lantian people, whose foundation is 200,000 Lantian regular troops, appear unscrupulous when they expand outward.

However, the remaining power of the court cannot be used to deal with Lantian. As long as anyone with a basic understanding of Lantian's strength, it is clear that if the court starts war with Lantian at this time, the result will be to accelerate the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

For the old vested interests of the Ming Dynasty, Lantian was a group of people with strict laws but reasonable laws.

Of course, this is very reasonable and refers to comparison with Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong.

Lantian County is even more reasonable than the court in a certain state.

At least, if you enter Lantian County, except for the land, no one will rob you of anything that belongs to you.

In recent years, the Ming gentry who had been educated by Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Li Hongji, and Zhang Bingzhong were no longer so important about money.

Especially the land!

After experiencing the cruel war, they realized that they really could not take away the last fig leaf on the farmer...

However, this principle can be understood that a generation of people will still forget it completely when they reach the second generation.

Yun Zhao has no good idea about this.

He returned home with a son on his back and carrying a son. The two sons were still unwilling to get off his father. Yun Zhang even rode his father on his neck and rode his butt. He arched his father as a horse.

When the child is young, Yun Zhao naturally has patience and will be able to get a fight in two years.

Royal fathers and sons generally rarely talk about emotions, or their emotions are basically spoken or performed.

A title of a monarch and minister has already smashed all the feelings. When a father can cut off his son's head anytime and anywhere, it will be very hypocritical to talk about feelings.

Many people basically have their impression of fathers from childhood. After adulthood, fathers and sons basically become opponents.

Therefore, Yun Zhao wanted to get closer to the children before they had a rebellious mentality and develop more affection, so as not to get annoying when they get old in the future, causing their son to hold a knife and force him to get out.

"Why have time to play with the children for so long today?" Feng Ying asked in a low voice when she saw the two children asleep.

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "I'm going to curry favor with them."

"Cheer with me?"

"I can't be satisfied without flattering you. Liu Zeqing's son suffocated Liu Zeqing to death with a pillow."

"What are you thinking about all day long? Zhang'er and Xian'er are all good kids. Compared with such disgusting people, we shouldn't have compared them with our kids!"

"There are even more disgusting things. Li Hongji's wife ran away with someone again. This time she was with Li Yan."

Feng Ying sighed and said, "It's a pity for the Hongniang."

Yun Zhao said: "There is no need to worry about the woman Hong Niangzi in the future."

“Why?”

"I heard she ran away with her two children."

"Huh? Will you come to us?"

"No, I heard that I went after Li Yan. This time, Li Yan made Li Hongji miserable. Not only did he take away Li Hongji's large sum of money and food, but he also took away almost 30,000 people.

The rewards from the court have been brought down, and Li Yan was named Dongping Bo and stationed in Xuzhou!

Lee Hongji swore to the sky that he would peel and get cramps from the dogs and men."

"But, Li Hongji's army still stayed in Luzhou and did not leave."

"Where can he go without a lot of money? I guess Li Hongji is going to start robbing again."

"Yangzhou?"

"No, it's Xuzhou!"

"Is there anything wrong with Liu Zeqing related to Li Yan's surrender to the court?"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, there is the shadow of Cao Huachun here. I heard that Dongpingbo's official position was originally from Liu Zeqing."

Feng Ying sighed and said, "I don't care about the human ethics road."

Yun Zhao said: "This is very scary. The court finally decided to be shameless."

After Feng Ying heard this news, she naturally would not be too happy. Hong Niangzi was one of her few friends. At this moment, seeing that her old friend was abandoned by the person she loved, it was unlikely that she would have no idea in her heart.

There is no way, the news that Yun Zhao knew here is generally very dark, especially the news about Daming, Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong. The news from these places made Yun Zhao's world so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.

Fortunately, there will always be some positive news in Hanzhong, Xiangyang, Ningxia Town, Baiyin Factory, and even Shuzhong, which will give Yun Zhao a little relief and will not let him be completely disappointed with the world.

The news from the barren Longzhong is the most pleasant. Yunbao and the others have paid for the tobacco leaves to grow, and the locals have also specially developed a novel smoking method - water hookah.

Since the silver factory produces copper, a tobacco utensil called hookah was also created. To be precise, after the tobacco leaves are burned in the tobacco pot, smoke is produced. Then, after the violent dry tobacco is filtered by water, it becomes soft and has a long aftertaste.

This made tobacco quickly become the most valuable economic crop near the Silver Factory. Qingcheng, which was originally barren, has now become a well-known tobacco distribution center, making it a joy to make money every day.

The refugees in Hanzhong have basically gone down the mountain, which has added more than one million people to the household registration in Lantian County. According to Xu Wuying, in two years, he will be able to regain Hanzhong.

However, there are still many thieves in Hanzhong, and the Yun family members need to continue to hunt down. Therefore, in a short time, it is impossible for the seconded Yun family members to be sent back.

The rice produced in Ningxia Town is surprisingly delicious every year. Ningxia Town is preparing to increase the rice planting area this year.

This is very good, which shows that Ningxia Town has developed from the initial fullness to the best food.

The land distribution in Xiangyang has been completely completed. The wealthy families born from Guanzhong attach great importance to the land of Xiangyang. Many businesses even regard Xiangyang as a transit station for Lantian County in the future to enter Fujian and Guangdong.

Therefore, Xiangyang's commercial prosperity even exceeded that of the just-started agriculture.

As for Shuzhong, it is very interesting.

The Yun clan did not actively expand in Shu, but the local people were actively moving towards the Yun clan. In Shu, the Lantian County boundary marker once again began a long journey.

Qin Liangyu wrote letters to Feng Ying several times to warn Yun's family not to expand into Shu, but Feng Ying ignored them.

The female general's warning was actually very tired and powerless. Nowadays, the biggest person in business with Guanzhong is her Shizhu Tusi.

When Lantian County's commercial policy tilted slightly towards Shizhu Tusi, the output on that barren land was not enough to swallow it in one bite.

The Shizhu Tushi, who made money, was directly exchanged for grain, salt, cloth and silk at the Guanzhong Market. After being transported back to the Shizhu Tushi, it was sold to a more remote place. It was purely a huge profit.

Now, Ma Xianglin, the eldest son of the female general who should have died early, lives very healthy now and often communicates with Yun Zhao. In the letter, the commander of the Shizhu Xuanwei Department often expresses his dissatisfaction with the warlords in Yunnan and Guizhou.

I hope that Yun Zhao will pay money, food and weapons, and he will do his best to calm the warlords of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou and give the people a peaceful world.
