The people in Liaodong were a little worried, fearing that the Chu Dynasty would be as brutal as when Nurhaci occupied Liaodong, such as killing people without grain and raising slaves in captivity.

But they found that the Chu Dynasty quickly reclassified the displaced Liao people and slaves as civilian households and began to divide the fields. This was exactly the opposite of the Qing army's policy of enclosing and filling land after entering the customs.

In fact, the Chu Dynasty already had a lot of experience in managing newly recovered areas. It appointed officials, cleared land, established household registrations, restored production, built new water conservancy projects, etc. Policies began to be implemented one after another, and many materials were transported from the customs to Liaodong.

Everything is moving in an orderly manner.

Shengjing City was demoted to Shenyang Prefecture, and the temporary prefect was Yu Congrong.

It is said that this man was originally the magistrate of Jinzhou City. He had made great achievements in Jinzhou and was recommended by Qin Xuance.

After Yu Congrong took office in Shenyang Mansion, he quickly made Shenyang settle down.

He is not the kind of rigid and rigid official, he does things in a very orderly manner.

For example, there was a small incident, which also played a role in reassuring the hearts of the people who surrendered... Yu Congrong betrothed his only daughter to Fei Yanggu of Dong E's family.

After the news of this marriage came out, many people looked at E Shuo with admiration and lamented that this crippled general was able to curry favor with the new prefect so quickly. After all, who knows if Prefect Yu will become the chief envoy of Liaodong in the future.

But there are also a few people who feel that Yu Congrong is so powerful that he was able to marry Dong E's family.

By May, Liaodong had become stable and peaceful.

On this day, in Yu Mansion, two little girls were talking in the backyard...

"Tell me, does the King of Jin not care about Liaodong?"

"Why do you ask this? My father often said this before. He said that when he first came to Jinzhou, King Jin said he would come here often, but he never came once. But then he stopped saying that. He said King Jin still cared about it. From Liaodong.”

"But I heard a lot of people saying that when Liaodong was first decided, the King of Jin should have come to inspect it, so why didn't he come?"

"Actually, my father knows a piece of news..."

The speakers were Nalan Mingxiu and Yu Di.

Nalan Mingxiu actually had some small thoughts. Because she knew Wu Yunzhu was concerned about this matter, she came to Yu Di specifically to inquire.

She is the same age as Yu Di, and they originally regarded each other as good friends, but Wu Yunzhu said something to her like he was teasing her.

At that time, Wu Yunzhu said, "In terms of seniority, you call me sir, but the girl from the Yu family was promised to my younger brother, so she should be one generation older than you."

Because of this sentence, every time Nalan Mingxiu looked at Yu Di, he secretly muttered in his heart that he could not call her little aunt in the future...

In short, the two little girls in the film are not actually concerned about whether King Jin wants to come to Liaodong.

But Yu Di held her head and thought for a while, then she whispered in Nalan Mingxiu's ear.

"Yesterday, my father said that King Jin had inspected the Yellow River water conservancy. You can tell your husband..."

On this day, Wu Yunzhu heard the news that Nalan Mingxiang had finally found out, but she just raised her head and looked at the sky and fell silent.

This reaction was beyond Nalan Mingxiu's expectation. She couldn't help but ask: "Sir, aren't you happy?"

"I thought I would be happy, but I couldn't tell."

"What's wrong, sir?"

"I don't know."

Nalan Mingxiu didn't know what to say. He sat silently with Wu Yunzhu for a while, and suddenly heard Wu Yunzhu ask: "Where did yesterday's story end?"

"Speaking of Alice meeting a cat."

Wu Yunzhu then smiled, took Nalan Mingxiu in his arms, and started telling stories.

As for her thoughts, she left them to herself...

That night, Wu Yunzhu sat alone on the steps and asked herself why she was not as happy as she originally thought when she heard the news that King Jin was coming to Liaodong?

She suddenly realized that she was a child before. A child likes someone who loves her wholeheartedly. If he said he would come back to Liaodong to find her, she would always wait for him.

But he is an adult. For adults, a promise made to a child will be forgotten at any time...

He obviously did not regard the agreement at that time as the most important thing, so he never came.

He couldn't come if there was a reason before.

But now that the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and there was no reason why he couldn't come, he still didn't come right away.

So, he just regarded everything that happened at that time as just for coaxing children and didn't take it to heart.

"Then I shouldn't take you too seriously." Wu Yunzhu muttered angrily.

The night was as cold as water, and it was in the sky that many of Wu Yunzhu's thoughts changed. She was as simple and clear as a child and gradually turned into the sorrowful thoughts of a girl.

Only then did she realize that she had grown up.

As I grow up, I have more troubles...

In June of the sixth year of Chu Jianwu's reign, Wang Xiao returned to the capital from Henan.

For him, the significance of the Yellow River water conservancy project he personally supervised was no less than the Battle of Liaodong.

When he stood on a high mountain and looked at the majestic Yellow River, he truly felt the meaning of "fighting for hegemony".

Controlling floods, diverting canals for irrigation, and benefiting tens of millions of households throughout the Yellow River Basin were a century-old undertaking. This was something that still gave him a sense of accomplishment.

In addition, Wang Xiao's wife and children were very happy to go out on this trip. After spending half a year traveling with Wang Xiao, Zuo Mingjing, Qian Duoduo, and Gu Hengbo became pregnant one after another.

The Jin Palace gradually became more prosperous.

Tang Qianqian even teased Wang Xiao that she would give Chen Yuanyuan an official position in the palace to take care of his children...

Only Wang Kang felt sad when he saw that Wang Xiao had more and more children.

Wang Kang had forgotten that he had said something like "if he has a grandson, give him a house in the capital" a few years ago. He already had trouble recognizing his grandchildren. What he was worried about was that Wang Xiao really didn't have much property.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Xiao came back, he was scolded by Wang Kang...

"I thought that with the title of king and nobility, the power would be overwhelming, and money would be inevitable. I didn't expect that you are just doing nothing all day long. You don't even consider these things. If you just say a word, you won't be so poor!"

"Poor?" Wang Xiao was stunned and said with a smile: "How can dad think that I am poor? I am the King of Jin. I have everything I want."

"You have everything, but you are heartless and only care about your own happiness. Let me ask you, how much inheritance can you leave to your children? I have already calculated it for you. After you die, what little things will you have in your hands..."

"Father, this makes no sense. How could you curse your own son to death?"

"How did you say that? Did I curse you to death? I asked you to plan for future generations as soon as possible and leave some property to ensure that they have enough food and clothing..."

"Why? Don't they work themselves?" Wang Xiao asked again.

Wang Kang was furious. If the son in front of him wasn't of high status, he would have kicked him.

"Inverse...inverse..."

Seeing that Wang Kang was really angry, Wang Xiao smiled bitterly, stepped forward and patted his back, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Dad, don't be angry. I'll tell you properly."

"Say it nicely!"

"That's what I think. You see, with my status, my children can't live a bad life, right? It's fine if they don't be arrogant and domineering. It's just that with the connections in Prince Jin's palace, if they can still live a bad life, it will be unavoidable

It's too useless. If it's not useful, what's the use of leaving more property? In this world, if the buildings rise and fall, all the money will be lost. The best property I give them... is education."

Wang Kang turned his head and took a deep look at Wang Xiao.

"Dad, do you think what I said makes sense?"

"People say that you are becoming more and more fake and hypocritical." Wang Kang snorted, "It is indeed the case. Speaking of it is useless and false."

"ha."

Wang Kang thought for a while, hesitated, and asked: "By the way, do you want to be the emperor?"

"Why do you even ask me that, dad?"

"Of course I heard it from someone, but don't ask me who I heard it from, I won't tell you."

"If you don't ask, don't ask. What does dad think?"

"If you become the emperor, I won't have to worry about your children's livelihood... But I'm not ready yet."

"I will be the emperor, what will dad prepare?"

"When you become the emperor, of course you will also become the emperor after me. It is said that my ancestors have wanted to pursue the title for several generations." Wang Kang sighed with a somewhat embarrassed tone: "I have lived in Qingshui Fang all my life. If I live here

Even in the palace, I won’t..."

"Dad, you think too much, just live in Qingshuifang."

"Then what do you mean?"

"It's too much trouble, I'm too lazy to do it."

Wang Kang was silent for a long time, not sure what his son's opinion was on this matter and unwilling to get involved, so he asked again: "Do you know how much property the fourth daughter-in-law has?"

"As long as she operates legally and pays taxes legally, I don't care how much property she has."

"I mean, Si Fang is rich, but he has very few offspring." Wang Kang glanced at Wang Xiao with some disgust, and murmured in a low voice: "Those who have no money will always be born."

Speaking of four bedrooms, Wang Xiao thought to himself, what's the use of having money but no life...

Sure enough, Wang Kang's next sentence came right away.

"When will your fourth brother come back?"
