Chapter 642: The King of England Has Love, and Guanzhou Has Affection!

Riding a horse into the city was too conspicuous, so Yan Laoer advised General Xue Qi to go home first and see that he would have to stay in Huju City for a few days and couldn't run away.

As soon as General Xue Qi thought about it, the two separated.

Yan Laoer led Sanbao into the city without any hindrance.

Hu Ju, who doesn’t know him?

After just brushing his face, the boys guarding the gate came over excitedly.

After muttering for a long time, I don’t know who shouted first, “Uncle, you’re back!”

The other boys seemed to be missing an uncle at home, vying to get it home for him.

Yan Laoer was very easy-going, as if his uncle had just come back from outside and followed him into the city.

To be assigned to guard the city gate, such an important position, must be from a family that you can trust.

Before Yan Laoer could even enter the house, the news of his return spread like a strong wind.

When he entered the courtyard, thanked his master, sat down in the hall, and took a sip of hot tea, people from Huju City who worked for the yamen for free began to come to his door one after another.

Everyone knew about his relationship with the eldest master. Master and disciple were like father and son, and his appearance was equivalent to the eldest master's personal presence.

Yan Laoer made it clear why he came, and I'm just here to take stock.

The sound of crackling abacus soon enveloped the place.

The famous accountants in the city, including the accountant Zheng who once taught him, are all gathered under this small square roof.

It’s not that I don’t know, it’s just that I was shocked.

When the Huju government office was running normally, there were not so many things going on, but when it came to the common people, it was different.

Let's talk about this city tour.

There is one team during the day and another team at night. Except for the watchman, there are almost no people wandering around the street at night.

The yamen's officers are also experienced. They are used to patrolling and know how to go.

But when it came to the people, they were at a loss, especially when there were outsiders and border troops stranded in the city. They had to summon strong men from all the families in the city to be emboldened by their numbers, and did not dare to relax at all. They took turns day and night to compete. The yamen's servants have done their job much better.

Only then did the eldest son of each family guard the city gate.

The original city defense army was sacrificed on the day they went to Qiucheng to break the city. Later, General Xue Qi sent troops and took them away again outside the pass. At present, only the barn is left with a group of tiger troops guarding the border. The rest are all the pride of the people in the city.

Let’s talk about the resettlement of people rescued from outside the customs.

The sick and injured all need medical treatment, which involves medical expenses, medication and manpower to take care of them.

Housing is also a challenge.

The temporary sheds were not enough to keep out the wind and cold. At this time of year, they had to be scattered and placed in people's homes.

Another expenditure on firewood and rice.

The blacksmithing workshop in the city was directly under the government. It had been making weapons before, and iron and coal were supplied in sufficient quantities. Because of the rush to work, the fire in the blacksmithing workshop was never cut off.

Now that the battle is over, the office has been surrounded before the workshop can settle the accounts. When he heard that Yan Laoer was here to reconcile the accounts on behalf of Mr. Tian, ​​the steward of the workshop also came over. What he was worried about was not the reconciliation of accounts, but the settlement of accounts. Spring plowing is about to begin. According to the usual practice in previous years, they should bring out a batch of farm tools at this time. The exact number and proportion are determined by the Yamen.

In previous years, Mr. Tian would go to the countryside to check things out in person before spring, and then make a final decision when he came back. This year, no one from the yamen could come out. The closer the day came, the more anxious the stewards were. But by chance, Yan Laoer came, and he had a backbone.

Because there were so many outsiders stranded in the city, there were even more people sweeping the streets and collecting dung.

Yan Laoer:......

There are also those who set up stalls in the city. The yamen patrolling the streets have to collect copper coins. The shops on the streets also have to pay tribute every month, and the fares for people and carriages entering the city, etc. These invisible incomes are not easy to feed into the yamen. When I asked him openly, he had to catch Yan Laoer, so he had to ask him face to face how to give him the money.

They felt it was extremely hot when they held it themselves.

Yan Laoer:......

In the eyes of the people, these are the important things. On the contrary, the yamen wants to calculate the work points for them. Don't be anxious and trust them.

Meals need to be eaten one bite at a time, and matters need to be solved one by one.

Yan Laoer put on his posture and worked for the teacher.

start!

…

Father and daughter do not share the same mood.

Yan Laoer is so busy that he wishes he could have three heads and six arms. Yan Yu is so happy to be here today, hehe, happy!

Countdown to the long-lost platform.

Appeared!

La la la, tonight is worth looking forward to.

She was on her way to the open pit coal mine.

She was riding alone, writing and drawing in her notebook, thinking about what to trade for tonight, and what she wanted to exchange for something useful to her and their family.

Jiuxiao was released by her again, searching for wild animals all over the mountains and plains.

For the sake of sustainable development, she specified that no living animals were required, only frozen and edible ones.

Yan Yu clicked on a place on the map and made an appointment with Jiuxiao to meet there before midnight tonight.

It was a mountain not far from the border camp. The mountains were densely forested. What she thought was that if she needed points urgently, she could plant trees nearby.

There are no coal mines in Guanzhou. Every winter, the weather is unbearable, so large quantities need to be purchased from Xizhou.

This time, they robbed a coal mine in Xizhou, and it was an open-pit mine. How could the King of England not be so happy that he went straight to the open-pit coal mine after leaving Qiongshan County?

I don’t even care about King Qi’s face. Yes, I am so impatient!

Although Mr. Luan did not say it explicitly, letting Gu Fengcheng take charge of the mine was a clear statement of attitude.

This coal mine is inseparable from Guanzhou.

Even if there is such a small chance, Leshan has a slight possibility, but Xizhou has no chance.

Under the current situation, Leshan is about to be under the rule of the King of England, so the ownership of this coal mine, haha, is undisputed!

The King of England was very happy and invited Yan Huaiwen to the car to talk about it.

From the coal mine to the later governance of Leshan, Yan Huaiwen had planned Leshan early, so he had some ideas. In addition to the strategic vertical line of the two prefectures encircling Xizhou, Leshan Prefecture is adjacent to Qishan Prefecture, and Qishan Prefecture has suffered from severe drought since the beginning of last year. Others don’t know, but he knows that Qishan will be dry for three years.

In these three years, although there was a cold disaster in the north, it did not delay farming and harvesting, and the south was also okay.

He didn’t plan for the latter. For the long-term, the northern prefectures should pacify the war, expand the fields and cultivate deeply, and store grain to respond to the changes in the weather. This is the safe way.

Population!

The north needs a large population, farming, spring sowing and autumn harvest.

And Qishan Prefecture, disaster victims are everywhere.

It is exactly what Guanzhou needs.

Yan Huaiwen was suggesting to the King of England that when he sent troops to Leshan to suppress the bandits, he might as well publicize Guanzhou's resettlement of disaster victims, and then open up the official road post station to pave a smooth road from Qishan Prefecture through Leshan Prefecture to Guanzhou Prefecture.

Take in the disaster victims and make them naturalized in Guanzhou.

"This... is it appropriate to rob people from Qishan Prefecture across Leshan Prefecture?" The King of England was unable to make up his mind for a while.

This is across a whole prefecture.

The disaster victims fled here on their own, and it is different from them robbing them.

"Guanzhou and Leshan, the two prefectures, will be under the rule of the prince in the future. Please treat them equally and treat them equally." Yan Huaiwen said so.

Yan Yu came to find her uncle and heard this.

She really didn't mean to eavesdrop this time, it was just a coincidence.

Yan Yu thought that her uncle was really good at speaking.

This means that Leshan will also belong to you, the prince, in the future, just like Guanzhou. What's wrong with putting up a sign at the door of your house to recruit workers?

Didn't they go into Qishan Mansion to rescue people?

Hiss!

Yan Yu blinked.

Then again, even if they really went in to rescue people, what could Qishan Mansion do?

Isn't it because our King Ying has love and Guanzhou has affection, and they have extended a helping hand to the poor Qishan Mansion?

The day before yesterday, I came to work and stayed up for two nights~

Zhaizhai is really hardworking now, trying to make a little money~

Dear ones, don't slack off, as long as you have food stored at home, you won't be panicked~

We are about to enter the stage of farming and hoarding food. We in Guanzhou will take every step steadily, sow in spring and harvest in autumn, and every grain of food is watered with sweat and hard work. Ah, it tastes delicious!
