Chapter 204 Chaos and Peace, This Evening

Since the war, the vitality of the witch religion in Fujian has been greatly damaged, and the scattered people who are still resisting have gradually disappeared under the sweep of the army for a month.

The cult has been destroyed. Zhou Liang and others are going back to Bianjing to recover. Yang Yanzhao put the property obtained from the destruction of several witchcraft into a box and bring them back to Beijing together.

Three thousand iron armor guards, eight major offerings, what is safer than this escort team?

"Son, did you give up dozens of boxes of treasures like this?"

Looking at the fading team, Pai Feng's eyes were full of reluctance. Millions of taels of gold, silver and jewelry were handed over from her, which was undoubtedly more painful than cutting meat.

In fact, Yang Yanzhao's heart is also painful. This money is enough for him to eat and drink happily for several lifetimes, but in this world, if he has money, he has to have his life to spend. Giving these to Zhao Guangyi is undoubtedly the best way to show loyalty.

Two people, one big and one small, were full of grief. For a long time, it was not until they could see the shadow of the continuous giant wood that Yang Yanzhao reluctantly withdrew his sight, "Exhaust, I asked you to collect some treasures in advance. Can you do it?"

"You said too much in a hurry. Before you could prepare for the exhaust, that is, you picked some jade treasures, coral agate, and the ancient books, calligraphy and paintings that the prince liked, and just packed more than ten boxes..."

Paifeng was very annoyed, as if she was sorry that she didn't put all these gold and silver things down, but Yang Yanzhao on one side was stunned and came to his senses for a long time, "Exhaust, how much did you just say you installed?"

"Eleven mouths, one of which is not full, and it is hidden in the secret room under the exhaust bed."

In the secret room under the bed, it was specially asked Xiao Muchun and others to dig in order to keep these treasures. Only when the money was hidden under the bed would the little girl feel relieved.

"Haha, the exhaust is really my sweet little cotton-padded jacket!"

He laughed and pinched on the face of the exhaust wind. The latter suddenly lowered his head and did not notice this. Yang Yanzhao walked to the house happily. Chai Qingyun and Luo's daughter on one side had to shake their heads and smiled bitterly. They sighed in their hearts. How could they become so greedy?

At the end of June, the heat wave has begun to hit. Even on the shore of the sea, it often feels stuffy, and my chest seems to be blocked.

The rain has not fallen for more than a month, and the water in the ponds has begun to fall. The rice seedlings that were originally lush in heaven and earth are also withered.

Wipe off the sweat on his forehead. After the morning exercise, Yang Yanzhao sweated profusely and took the wet wipes handed over by Luo's daughter. "The weather is getting hotter and hotter."

"Yes, in the past, when I was in Daizhou, the fish always heard that when I leaned against the seaside, I didn't feel hot in summer, and it seemed to be tricked."

The fish pouted and practiced the cloud gun. She also sweated her back, and the hair on her cheeks were also wet with sweat. She was holding a handkerchief and rubbing it randomly.

On the other side, except for Qu Han, who were beside Feng Lun, Zhu Li and Xiao Muchun, who were trained by Guo Huai, had already been hot for a long time. They went back to the yard to take a cold water.

I wet the sweat towel in the copper basin, and my hand suddenly felt a coolness. I wanted to pass it to Chai Qingyun beside me, but I remembered that the man and the woman were not close to me, so my hand stopped in the air.

At this time, she was sweating profusely. Seeing Yang Yanzhao, Hongxia's cheeks turned redder. She lowered her head and pulled the sword. Seeing this, the green bead not far away quickly came forward to take it and wiped it for Chai Qingyun. "Little master, you are also tired. Take a rest quickly."

In this scene, Luo's daughter smiled slightly. After getting along with each other for more than a month, the initial taste and sourness in her heart also dissipated, and Chai Qingyun did not have the arrogance of the princess. She often talked about the girl's private words with her family, and the feelings of the two were like sisters.

After washing up, Yang Yanzhao had breakfast and hurried out. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the day before the holiday. On this day, he has to gather his subordinates to discuss all matters, especially when the drought is about to begin.

The official document of the imperial court was issued half a month ago, and Yang Yanzhao was ordered to temporarily take the position of appeasement envoy on behalf of Fujian Road. Although he did not understand why the court did not send others to take over, no one to take over, which naturally saved a lot of trouble. Otherwise, the business of making a fortune would not be restrained.

In the room, everyone gathered and whispered to each other. They were not familiar with each other, but they also felt much closer after working together for a few months.

When he saw Yang Yanzhao coming in, a group of people quickly got up and saluted, "I've seen Lord Yang!"

"There is no need to be so polite, sit down." He waved his hand. Yang Yanzhao sat down and looked around at the crowd. "The sky is getting hotter and hotter. I think the drought is about to appear. How are your countermeasures?"

"Your Excellency, according to your orders, the granaries in Xinghua and Fuzhou City have been filled with grains, and the rice grain being purchased has been transported to the two cities of Nanjian and Zhangzhou according to your orders."

Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao nodded. Since Nanjian and Zhizhou in Zhangzhou were replaced by Lin Yuan's recommendation, now there are six cities in the eight cities on Fujian Road in his hands, and the rest of Quanzhou and Jianzhou are much more honest and clever.

At present, Zhang Quanzheng, according to his instructions, bought a large amount of grain and rice from Liangjiang Road and Liangzhe Road, but he still didn't know what the disaster was. The only thing he could do was to prepare more. He could only come more, not less.

Zhang Quan said with hesitation on his face. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but continue to say, "And the heat has also spread to the Liangjiang area. Although the officials and others pretend to be merchants to buy, they are still found that the price of rice and grain is 20% higher than before."

It's 20% more expensive!

All the people here took a breath of cold air. This is obviously a profiteer's move. If you buy three or five stones, it's enough to spend more expensive money. But now Xinghua City buys hundreds of stones, plus a price of 20%, it will be ten thousand taels of silver.

"Your Excellency has sent letters to the provinces and governments of Liangjiang. Those who don't believe in words clearly want to take advantage of the fire!"

It was Xue Dao who spoke. After the last time he defended the city to defeat the enemy and resisted the money, Yang Yanzhao promoted him. Now he is following Zhang Quan to buy food, and it is inevitable that he is angry. At the time of the meeting, Yang Yanzhao encouraged him to speak freely, so he said his dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Yang Yanzhao's face turned cold, everyone here was silent. After a long time, I heard him say, "From today on, the price of refined salt will increase by one by one.

Hearing this sentence, Shan Hu, who was in charge of this matter, hurriedly responded. Outside Xinghua City, drying salt has been quite effective. The quality of fine salt obtained is excellent, and the price is only more than a dozen yuan more than ordinary eyes, which is almost in short supply, so in his opinion, it is not enough to increase by one. It will affect the business of refined salt

In his heart, Yang Yanzhao was also very angry, but there was nothing he could do. Liangjiang Road was not under his rule. Although the wanton purchase of rice and grain had been compromised to the court, Zhao Guangyi did not reply after all, so the only thing he could do was to use real gold and silver to set the price of the grain.

He exposed this annoyance and said something else about the people's livelihood. Finally, Yang Yanzhao looked at Lin Yuan, "Lord Lin, are there any changes in the cottages recently?"

More than ten days ago, the Hakka family's stockade unexpectedly attacked Zhangzhou City with the clan. When Yang Yanzhao was angry and sent troops to encircle and suppress it, at this time, Zhu Yan came forward. At this time, the Hakka family, who lived in the mountains and forests, knew that Fujian Road had changed its owner, and it was no longer a walk in front of the clan city. , it's the day when the rich things are delivered.

Hearing Yang Yanzhao's question, Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "The patriarch Zhu turned the words of the adults to the cottages. I think there should be nothing to do."

The She people are a big ethnic group in Fujian, and Zhujiazhai is also the person mentioned in it. Zhu Yan conveys the meaning of Yang Yanzhao, which does have the effect of detering other ethnic groups.

Since there is no big deal, Yang Yanzhao made everyone continue to do their own things, but the backyard is much colder. These days, Luo's women have found dozens of smart girls in Xinghua City to teach medical skills, on the one hand, to relieve the people's diseases that there is no cure, and on the other hand, they are also preparing for the epidemic that may occur after the drought.

The prefecture is inconvenient, so the previous transshipment made the government office a temporary medicine shop. When she started her class, Chai Qingyun, Bamei and others naturally followed them, and Guo Huai and Xu Shaoyang were also beside them, and they also did some help when they were protecting them.

Perhaps seeing that this matter is beneficial to the people of Fujian, even Aunt Hua followed closely, and she was finally moved by Zhu Rong. Although not to mention the courtesy of father and daughter, it is much milder than in the past.

Previously, she took Zhu Rong to worship her mother. In the days when she left, it happened to be the day of the cult's counterattack, which also made Zhu Rong feel very guilty and did not help Yang Yanzhao at the critical moment.

After two rounds in the house, without the Eight Sister and others, I felt much more lonely. Of course, except for Xiao Muchun and Zhu Li, they were carrying their wrists with bare arms.

When Yang Yanzhao approached, he happened to see the scene of Zhu Li struggling and losing. Suddenly, several poisonous scorpions on the onlookers laughed.

"What? Are you idle and flustered? Let's go out together!"

Hearing Yang Yanzhao's words, Xiao Muchun and others, who were bored, naturally shouted loudly. They grabbed their clothes, trotted back, and washed them randomly. After a moment, they rushed again, and even the water stains hanging on their faces were not wiped clean.

But just as they were about to leave the house, they saw ten or two carriages parked in front of the door, and Yang Yanzhao still remembered the situation of Yangfu in Daizhou, so there were no guards at the door, so when he saw this situation, Xiao Muchun couldn't help asking.

But before he approached, he heard a happy and familiar voice coming from the carriage. "Isn't this Brother Xiao? I haven't seen you for a long time."

The curtain was lifted, but it was a fat figure. When he saw it clearly, Xiao Muchun immediately grinned, "Ah, it's Jinxi brother. You finally came. The instructor is reading Jinxi brother day and night."

When Xiao Muchun was talking and laughing, Yang Yanzhao naturally saw someone coming, but it was He Yu who had not seen for months.
