Chapter five hundred and fifty-one money and food population, indispensable
Wang Rong set out five days later than Du Shiyi. This was not just because Du Shiyi's appointment was too urgent. All the affairs at home need to be settled immediately, but because according to Du Shiyi's plan, she had her own business to do. She temporarily handled the housework, farmland and other matters, and asked Du Shisanniang to take care of her, comforting her heart that Du Shiyi was the father and brother who moved left. After saying goodbye to Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen, Wang Rong almost transferred all the people who could be transferred from the Du family, and only allowed a few of her confidants who had used at her parents' home to stay in Chang'an City, and set off under the escort of Yue Wuniang and her entourage.
She knew that Du Shiyi, who was ahead, would definitely be very fast on the road. In addition, she did not bring those heavy books and utensils on her trip, so she simply changed into men's clothes and rode a horse. On the way, after leaving Chang'an, she restored Yunzhou through a business established by going to Yunzhou to do tea business, and soon spread the matter of dividing the land. When the group finally arrived at Taiyuan Prefecture, she ordered people to submit a letter to the Jinyang County Party Committee to meet with the wife of Yin, the wife of Li Cheng, the commander of Jinyang.
As Zhang Shuo's niece and son-in-law, and Yu Wenrong's confidant, when the two of them were both dismissed, Li Cheng naturally could not retain his position as the former Minister of the Ministry of Transportation and moved to the Jinyang Order on the left. Although after Taiyuan was upgraded to Beidu, Jinyang, like the county of Chang'an and Luoyang, was also upgraded to Chixian, compared with the many years of imperial capital in Xijingdongdu, Jinyang was far from as far as possible. Li Cheng moved to the Jinyang Order on the left for more than a year, has been fair in political affairs and has received praise from the people. After receiving Wang Rong's post, he thought about it and finally allowed his wife Yin to come forward and host a banquet at home to entertain Wang Rong.
My father Yin Xingzhen has died, and although his uncle Zhang Shuo has recovered, it is impossible to become a minister. Her husband is not only the son-in-law of his uncle's niece and son-in-law of his uncle, and his confidant of Yu Wenrong, his mortal enemy. In recent years, Yin's temper has gone from being a little stubborn when he first married to now being hidden in the cotton. Although she was a little puzzled by the emperor's marriage, she did not reveal it at all while she was hospitalizing. After the greetings, she said some gossip between the women. When she saw her maid not far behind Wang Rong, she knew what her husband meant. After thinking about it, she asked straight to the point.
"Du Changshi passed by Taiyuan Prefecture when he went to Yunzhou. It was only a few days ago. The Wang Madam arrived in a blink of an eye. The journey was really fast."
“I came here all the way with men’s clothes.”
Yin was shocked when he heard this. You know, although the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty often go out to ride horses, there was a Kunlun slave in front of the horse, and behind them was a maid who was following him. Even if they were excited, they would only be a short while and would never show up and ride on the road. From this, she realized the difference between Wang Rong and herself. After suppressing her surprised expression, she politely advised: "Mrs. Wang is really a hero. It's 1,400 miles from Taiyuan Prefecture to Chang'an. How hard it is to travel for days. What's more, the situation in Yunzhou should have not stabilized yet. Since the horse thieves dare to attack Princess Gu'an and his group, you can go there rashly. What's the best thing if there is something?"
Her words were heart-warming, and they were extremely sincere, but as soon as she finished speaking, she found that the maid who started to wink was extremely strange. Knowing that her husband had other intentions, she might have said the wrong thing. She was already past her thirties and was not panicked, but changed her words: "If Lady Wang can't wait, I have the elite guards who had followed my uncle back then, so you might as well take them on your way."
When we first met, Yin was so generous. Wang Rong also had a general understanding of the niece Zhang said. She smiled and bowed, and nodded and said, "Thank you, Madam. I only know a little bit of self-defense. Naturally, the more people I accompany, the better. However, compared to me, the most important thing now is the food storage and grain road in Yunzhou City. Du Lang had a case of extermination of horse thieves before his trip, but he told me that it is easy to suppress thieves, but it is difficult to control Yunzhou. Previously, the lord lived in Yunzhou. The accompanying guards and the people he recruited one after another, and about 2,000 people were found. However, with the resumption of Yunzhou and recruiting troops and farming, it will inevitably attract more people. Money matters are easy to solve, but food matters are difficult to solve. Therefore, Du Lang mentioned in a letter from Guo Lang, the deputy general of Shuozhou, and asked me to visit Li Mingfu when passing by Taiyuan Prefecture."
When Yin heard that it was actually involved in the supply of food, he felt a little embarrassed. But when he glanced at the maid who nodded slightly, she immediately smiled and said, "Changshi Du really trusts Madam Wang. Come and invite Li Lang. Such a big thing is not something I, a woman, can make the decision."
Li Cheng had been wandering in the outer courtyard for a long time. At this moment, someone finally came out to invite him in. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, even though he was anxious, he still walked back and forth between the outside and thought that the time was almost over, so he walked into the bedroom. Seeing that Yin was standing up to greet a young woman, he just looked at the person quickly and exclaimed in his heart.
It is said that Wang Yuanbao's daughter is not young and is not a good match for Du Shiyi, but now it seems that this woman is Feng Yi and Gao Hua are born with beautiful appearance. She is even compared with her wife, who has always been the best among Chang'an daughters back then.
Li Cheng, the Jinyang ruling, is now at the fifth rank, two levels higher than Du Shiyi's Yunzhou Chief Shi, who is from the fifth rank, but in a city, there is Taiyuan Prefecture, and he, the Jinyang ruling, can do very limitedly. Even if Du Shiyi, the Yunzhou Chief Shiling, is just a commander, can be drawn on a completely blank map, and no one knows what kind of political achievements they will make. For example, today, the 800-mile military situation from Yunzhou has been sent to Taiyuan City.
At this moment, he and Wang Rong sat down after seeing each other, and said with a smile: "Miss Wang came here today. Yunzhou just sent good news to Taiyuan Prefecture. The horse thief who had robbed and killed Princess Gu'an and injured the Lord was wiped out and got seventeen living people. Among them, Du Changshi, the leader of this horse thief, was indeed a very fierce method, which is admirable."
Yin cooked tea and treated the guests. When she heard this, her hands shook and almost poured the full spoon of tea on the ground. She finally calmed down for a while, and then she understood why her husband was anxious to see Wang Rong. She felt emotional and admired. She didn't think Du Shiyi would kill the people casually. Now, there were so many eyes in Yunzhou City, and Princess Gu'an was in the city again. Since she reported a great victory, it must be a great victory. Although Du Shiyi was carrying a hundred strong soldiers, those rebellious Jd丨The imperial guards might not listen to a civil servant. This victory really laid a solid foundation for Du Shiyi to take over Yunzhou.
"Do you really wipe out those horse thieves?" Although Wang Rong had already learned such a news from his own channels after entering Taiyuan City, he would go to Li Cheng to visit him at the time point, but at this moment she still showed a surprised and happy expression. After reciting the Amitabha Buddha, she smiled at Li Cheng, "Thank you for telling Li Ming Mansion that all the horse thieves have gone, and the next thing I said about food just now was what I said to Mrs. Zun. To be honest, before Du Lang had reported that before his trip, his Majesty Ming had reported to His Majesty Ming that the tea business of the Khitan, Xi tribe and Turks would set up a market market in Yunzhou and collect taxes. Within three or five years, there should be no shortage of money.
This was the first time Li Cheng heard this news. He quickly savored the meaning of Wang Rong's words within three to five years. Indeed, with the in-depth promotion of tea planting, the number of tea growers has increased significantly from southwest Huainan to Jiangnan, and the number of merchants doing tea business has also increased greatly. As a major tea trader, foreigners such as the Turkic Khitan and the Xi tribe cannot easily trade in Datang towns. Then, in addition to Xishoujiang City, which was previously classified as the Mutual Market area, Yunzhou has become another Mutual Market area. As such an area, grain is naturally the top priority.
He was about to answer, but Wang Rong said solemnly: "In addition, the population is restored to Yunzhou. Most of the people who migrated to Shuozhou have already taken root in their new homes. There are probably not many people willing to return to Yunzhou, so Du Lang will definitely recruit refugees and fleeing households to farm. Therefore, I am afraid that within a day, Du Lang will write a text on Taiyuan Prefecture and neighboring prefectures and counties, and please let migrants go north."
Li Cheng immediately understood that Wang Rong came here not only to say hello in advance, but also to avoid shirking the blame when Du Shiyi sent someone to negotiate in the future. He thought about it over and over again, thinking that Du Shiyi recommended Yuwen Rong, and Zhang said that he had already come back, as if his hostility towards Du Shiyi was no longer the same as before. In addition, the land of Yunzhou had just been restored, and he really needed support. He considered it over and over again and finally nodded and said, "The food matter is not small. In this way, since this good news has just been heard, I will first go to Taiyuan Prefecture to report this matter to Taiyuan Yin Li Liang and Li Gong. If it is convenient, you might as well stay here tonight to let my wife do the best of the landlords."
Since she came today, the main purpose had been achieved, Wang Rong naturally agreed with a smile. Li Cheng repeatedly invited her, and finally agreed to stay in Jinyang County Party Committee tonight. As soon as Li Cheng left, Yin asked her maid to bring her children. She just regarded Wang Rong as a guest just now, but now this move naturally treated her as relatives and friends. When Wang Rong saw Li Cheng’s son was about seven or eight years old, her daughter was only three years old, and she liked her very much, so she put it in her arms and asked a lot, and finally gave a man and a pair of Yutian jade pendants as a meeting gift.
She was so meticulous that Yin treated her more kindly. After dinner, she didn't see Li Cheng come back. She was afraid that Wang Rong would be anxious, so she sent her confidant maid to the guest house to settle Wang Rong's entourage, and arranged the guest room in person. When the moon was on the treetops, Li Cheng finally turned around. As soon as she saw Wang Rong, she smiled and bowed: "Mr. Li said that as long as you trade in cash, Yunzhou will go to the neighboring states to buy rice. When the supply is open to the population, he will write to each state as soon as possible. Anyone who passes the office to Yunzhou and whose household registration is not in the county will be approved immediately."
