Chapter 164: Rewards 3 Kings!
Han Xin looked at the messenger in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly guessed,
This messenger must have arrived at the same time as the group of people just now, but he deliberately waited for the other party to leave before coming in.
Only Xiao He could make such an arrangement. After coming back to his senses, Han Xin quickly took the letter.
After looking at it carefully, his expression gradually became complicated.
Finally, Han Xin said to the messenger,
"I understand, and I won't think too much about it. It's just that the wind and snow are heavy now. You can wait until the snow melts next year before returning to the Northland."
In the current weather, letting the opponent rush across the grassland to return to life is not much different from killing the opponent.
And he knew that Xiao He's wish would be fine.
The messenger naturally followed the order and left. After the other party left,
Han Xincai said with some emotion,
"Xiao He is me, and I will not let you down."
Of course he is not stupid, and he understands some things in his heart, but he just doesn't bother to waste energy on it.
But now, with someone really caring for him, he doesn't have to worry too much.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the Great Wall.
Not long ago, there was a light snowfall within the Great Wall in the northern part of Great Qin.
Everywhere is gray, but there are still many pedestrians on the road.
Most of them were heading from the countryside to the town. There was a carriage team among the crowd, and there were many people gathered around it, which seemed a bit eye-catching.
The leader was an extremely beautiful woman with a cheerful temperament, riding on a horse and giving directions.
"Let our young and strong get off the bus and give the seats to the old and weak. We are still some distance away from entering the city. Don't tire them out."
"Mei! What are you doing here? Just rest in the car with peace of mind."
This woman is naturally Ji Wushuang,
Mei heard the shouting and quickly returned with a smile,
"I'm fine. I just happened to take An An and An Yi's two children to walk around more. Anyway, we have been sitting for a long time along the way, so we can do some activities."
Anxin Anyi is her and Zhao Lang's two daughters, who are now in their teens.
This time I also took them out to travel and have more contact with the people.
Even if they can't accomplish anything big in the future, they must never become scum who feel that they are superior and harm the people.
Fortunately, the two little people seemed extremely curious and a little excited about this journey, and they were willing to endure hardships on the way.
After hearing Mei's words, Ji Wushuang did not force himself and quickly said,
"That's fine, we will go directly to Xiao He after we enter the city. We must let him arrange these people."
Mei smiled and said,
"Don't worry, Prime Minister Xiao He has governed the Northland for so many years and he has never made any mistakes."
They have also seen Xiao He's achievements in Beidi over the years.
But Ji Wushuang's expression was still a little solemn, saying,
"This year is different. As you have seen in the past few days, potato yields have been reduced a lot due to diseases."
"Many people simply don't have enough savings to survive the winter."
"If you don't put it in place, there will be problems."
The reason why they came to the north this year is because the potato production in the north has decreased a lot this year, and some people are not having an easy life.
These people just want to take advantage of the time when they can't work in winter to go to the factories in the county to earn food and money.
Again, although Da Qin has developed for so many years, there are still some relatively poor people in any region.
Of course, life is definitely much better now than before.
So they must prepare early and try not to cause disasters.
Mei naturally understands it very well, because many of these people are former lowly people.
They didn't have any property when they started, so their development was extremely slow.
The adults had a little worry and anxiety on their faces, but the children regarded it as a play, noisy and happy.
Soon the team moved forward and finally arrived at the city gate before dark.
It was early at this time, and many Qin troops and government personnel were already waiting here.
Every time a group of people arrives, someone will come to guide them.
Ensure that everyone is properly arranged,
Soon, a Qin Jun walked up to Ji Wushuang with an expression of great reverence and whispered,
"I have met the Queen. Prime Minister Xiao He has been waiting for a long time."
They had already been ordered to wait for each other here, and it was not difficult to recognize each other.
Just look at the marks that ordinary people wouldn't recognize;
Besides, although the status of the people of Qin is good nowadays, not many nobles are willing to be so close to the people.
As for why they don't publicize it, the royal family's low-key intimacy is also well known.
Ji Wushuang didn't panic at all when she was recognized. She didn't want to hide her identity when she came here.
It's just that there is no need to take the initiative to talk about one's status in front of the people, and it is a matter of course to help the people.
So he nodded and quickly led the people to a government office.
At this time, Xiao He had already received the news and naturally came out to greet him in person.
"I have seen the Queen and several nobles, but I am unable to greet you from afar. Please forgive me."
Ji Wushuang waved his hands indifferently, and then said bluntly,
"Now is the busy time, don't worry about this."
"I think you have made good arrangements here. I will also ask farmers from all over the country to cooperate with the government's actions. We must let the people spend this winter safely."
Xiao He naturally nodded quickly,
"With the queen here this time, there will definitely be no problem."
In fact, he had already noticed these things, and the government had made corresponding arrangements.
Otherwise, the city would not suddenly expand production and recruit so many people this time.
This is also His Majesty's long-standing response. Relief through work is a benign approach.
It's just that there is no need to distinguish this from the other party here, as long as His Majesty knows.
And with the help of farmers, the government will indeed be more relaxed.
After Xiao He arranged for Ji Wushuang and the others, he left here and returned to his official uniform.
It was almost dark at this time, but the lights were still brightly lit everywhere in the government office.
Now they still have many things to arrange.
As soon as they arrived at the government office, a petty official came over with some worry and reported,
"Prime Minister, today the heads of several textile factories sent people to tell them that they do not need so many workers this winter, and the cloth they produce has already filled the warehouses, and there is nowhere to put them."
"The Sword Comes"
Xiao He frowned slightly. Of course he knew that the other party was telling the truth.
In recent years, the Northland has relied on the entire grassland to vigorously develop the textile industry.
In the past ten years, supply was almost in short supply, but in recent years it has become less exaggerated.
There is indeed no need for some poorly run factories to produce so much cloth.
But he quickly said,
"Tell those people that if they just produce, the government will give them a minimum price and buy them all!"
The junior official couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said,
"Prime Minister, there are a lot of things piled up in our warehouse..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Xiao He waved his hand impatiently and said,
"Then it will be full. Anyway, we must ensure that these factories cannot stop this winter!"
"Also, tell them that those who dare to lower wages and deduct money at this time will be waiting to have their homes confiscated!"
Of course he also knew that the government warehouse was full of cloth. After all, the annual war preparation supplies were in place.
But now is not the time to care about these things at all. The most important thing is to keep these people stable!
You know, even His Majesty did the seemingly stupid thing of paying someone to dig a hole, and then paying another group of people to fill it up.
The purpose is to stabilize people’s livelihood!
So some things can't just be taken at face value.
After receiving the order, the officials left here without hesitation.
Xiao He was preparing to deal with other matters, when a messenger hurried in and reported,
"Prime Minister, your Majesty's order has been spread throughout the world. General Han Xin has returned with a great victory. The royal family has made great contributions to the education and education of Su. The royal family Hu Hai has pacified the south."
"Next spring, we will reward the three kings!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao He instantly raised his head with a smile on his face,
Granting three thrones at once is of course a great joy.
It can boost the morale of Da Qin and set a benchmark for the people.
As long as you serve Da Qin, you can get the rewards you deserve.
But before his smile fully unfolded, he realized something, his face froze, and he asked,
"Who do you think will be crowned king in the end?"
The messenger soon returned,
"Royal Huhai."
After hearing this, Xiao He could only force out a smile and said,
"Okay, I understand. You go and have a rest first. I will arrange for the manpower to pass through the grasslands of the Western Regions."
After the messenger left, Xiao Hecai sighed slightly and said,
"Your Majesty really treats everyone equally."
Of course he knew what the other party meant by this arrangement.
The throne of King Fu Hu Hai has been ups and downs many times, and the ceremony of conferring the king has been held several times. From the beginning, it shocked the world, and always felt that King Fu was about to die, but now the world is numb, and it has turned into watching. Fun.
The prestige and authority of the throne have already declined a lot due to the disaster of this one.
In addition, the other royal families who were awarded the title were extremely self-conscious.
The common people in Da Qin no longer regarded these royal families as objects of loyalty and reliance.
It must be said that His Majesty has been extremely successful in every step, without causing turmoil, and it is also beneficial to the unification of Da Qin.
But he also knew how important this title of king was to Han Xin.
With the temperament of King Fu Hu Hai, it would be damned if nothing happened during the kingship ceremony.
But if this happens, Han Xin may have some bad reactions.
If you offend His Majesty, then...
Unlike others, after all these years, he knew that when his Majesty was ruthless,
How cruel!
To put it simply, genocide is considered gentle.
What’s even more horrifying is that after doing this, there are still many victims who are grateful to their majesty.
Han Xin cannot be his Majesty's opponent!
But when he thought of Han Xin's pursuit of his friendship under the moon, he couldn't bear the other party's mistake.
So I thought about it and quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote,
"Brother Han, words are like seeing each other. I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder if you are okay..."
"Now that I'm happy to hear that you are about to be crowned king, my brother can't help but be overjoyed. I recall that back then, you and I came from humble beginnings, but now we are in a high position..."
"I don't know, but do you still remember that His Majesty said that the people are the most important thing in the world, and the same is true for the Emperor..."
"Now that the Queen has come to the North to appease the people, it is really regrettable..."
"I hope that after you become king, you will also put the people first..."
"Congratulations again, personally written by Xiao He."
After finishing the letter, Xiao Hecai slowly put down his pen,
He hoped that Han Xin could see what he meant,
Lowering the prestige of the throne is for the sake of the overall situation, so as not to cause chaos again.
Specifically mentioning the queen also told him that your majesty, even the royal family, is connected with the common people.
Fusu made such great achievements, didn't he still do it with Hu Hai?
As for why he didn’t explain it directly, firstly, because of Han Xin’s character, it was difficult for him to listen to such direct advice.
Secondly, he was sure that this letter would be sent to the ground, and he still had some concerns.
Soon Xiao He sent out a messenger heading towards the Western Region. The grassland is still barely passable.
All this can only wait until next spring.
Time passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter. The entire Northern Qin Dynasty fell into silence, with only the fireworks coming from the charcoal fires in the major cities.
It proves that under this cold winter, there is full of vitality.
On this day, every household, whether in the countryside or in the city, has a festive look.
Because according to the new calendar implemented by the Qin Dynasty in recent years, today is the New Year's Eve.
It is a day worth celebrating. Everyone has worked hard for a year.
You should also have time to reward yourself and take a good rest.
In the city, in an ordinary Zhuangzi, Ji Wushuang was directing vigorously,
"Hurry up and get everything ready, don't waste time!"
"Mei, you go to the west of the city and leave the east to me.
They have prepared a lot of food today to distribute to the farmers working in this city, and also to other places. This is already a tradition for the farmers.
Mei walked out quickly, but Ji Wushuang found that the other person's eyes were a little red, and couldn't help but frown and asked,
"What's wrong with you? But what happened?"
Logically speaking, no one can offend them now.
Mei wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile,
"I'm fine. I just think that A Lang is a little pitiful being alone in the palace."
Hearing this, Ji Wushuang let out a heartless sigh and said,
"It's okay. He is the emperor now. I don't know how happy he is."
"We'd better get down to business first."
With that said, he took the people and left here.
Mei could only smile bitterly. The other party's temperament had not changed in so many years.
But no matter what, if it were Li Ling'er who became the queen, no one would be able to calm down.
Somewhat reluctant to look at it, Mei quickly left here as she glanced in the direction of Xianyang.
What they are doing now can also help A Lang, which is the most important thing.
Soon everyone merged into the lively crowd,
His Majesty the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty spent his fifteenth year in power peacefully.
In the blink of an eye, winter turns to spring, and when winter once again arrives in the North,
The entire Daqin also knew that the first grand event of the year was coming.
Da Qin will award three thrones at once!
