All Hail Cousin Brother

Mr. Li didn't dare to speak rashly. After the initial nervousness, he glanced at King Wu Mu secretly and began to wonder about the relationship between King Wu Mu and Princess Shaoyi. Suddenly, another rumor came to mind.

Princess Shaoyi got a piece of the residual prescription of fragrant medicine imported from overseas. After studying it, she made a very powerful ointment to relieve her cousin Zhou Linghuai's leg disease.

The ointment has a miraculous effect in unblocking the muscles and activating the collaterals and promoting blood circulation. Princess Shaoyi also developed a Tianze Xiang Pill.

That Zhou cousin had a good relationship with King Wu Mu. King Wu Mu had a miracle doctor who was proficient in acupuncture. He cured Zhou Linghuai's leg with a three-pronged approach.

Later, he used this method to cure King Wu Mu's leg.

Only then did King Wu Mu come to the imperial court to ask for merit for Princess Shaoyi.

Afterwards, Princess Shaoyi's planting of sweet potatoes caused a stir in the Zhou Dynasty, and the limelight once overshadowed King Wu Mu.

When King Wu Mu visited the border and inspected various areas in the north, everyone finally realized that King Wu Mu's legs had recovered, and the news spread.

It's just that King Wu Mu's leg can be cured, which is also the result of Princess Shaoyi. The most talked about outside is Princess Shaoyi.

Not to mention whether King Wu Mu really loves Princess Shaoyi, there is no doubt that the two have a deep relationship.

Mr. Li didn't answer, and Yu Youyao didn't care: "I came from Quanzhou and passed through many states and provinces. The large influx of refugees led to frequent riots in many places. Liancheng can maintain the current stable situation, even though King Wu Mu The reason why a reception camp was set up outside the city to accommodate refugees fleeing from various places, but the government took care of the resettlement of the refugees, and Mr. Li also played an important role."

Mr. Li quickly said: "This is the responsibility of the lower official, and the lower official dare not take credit."

The government will only provide relief to the victims under its own jurisdiction. Those refugees who have fled the famine are not within the scope of their responsibilities, so of course they can leave them alone.

He didn't want to take in the refugees either. Who could take care of such a large group of people with so many mouths waiting for food?

But King Wu Mu spoke and sent troops to help the government suppress the refugees. Even the food for the refugees was provided by King Wu Mu. He had to take care of it even if he didn't want to.

"Master Li really cares about the people," Yu Youyao smiled and praised: "Today, there are many good officials like Master Li who can serve the people wholeheartedly."

Not only did Mr. Li not feel happy about being given a high hat, but he became even more frightened, and suddenly he didn't even dare to say anything.

Yu Youyao complimented Mr. Li a few words, and then got to the point: "As far as I know, the number of refugees sheltered outside the city has reached 130,000, and the number of refugees is still increasing day by day. It is about to start spring plowing and production, but a large number of The refugees had no land and no work, so they could not fill their stomachs and support their families. King Wu Mu used military funds to provide relief to the victims. There were millions of victims in the entire northern border. No matter how much food was consumed, they could not withstand the consumption. "

This is also what worries Master Li: "What the princess said is true. The number of refugees is increasing day by day. Once the food is exhausted and a large number of refugees gather outside the city, there will definitely be trouble."

There are too many people and the government cannot suppress them.

He is not worried about the life and death of the refugees, but he is worried about his black hat and his own life.

Yu Youyao checked Mr. Li and knew that he was not a good official dedicated to serving the people. He colluded with the four major families and committed corruption and perversion of the law.

It's just that this person is quite sensible and can be driven as long as it is beneficial.

She continued to put a high hat on Mr. Li: "Mr. Li is dedicated to serving the people. He never wants to see the tragic situation of frequent riots outside the city, hunger everywhere, and corpses scattered thousands of miles away."

What can Master Li say? Mr. Li can only eat Coptis chinensis as a mute, unable to express his sufferings, and sweating coldly as he responds.

If Princess Shaoyi had directly mentioned that he wanted a share of the tussah business, he could still claim that the gentry in Liancheng was as fierce as a tiger, but there was nothing he could do. He would complain to Princess Shaoyi with a face full of runny nose and tears, and make the "bitter show" You've done enough to get this thing out of the way.

But Princess Shaoyi just wore a high hat, which made him unable to do anything.

Yu Youyao: "Master Li should know that I am the daughter of a foreign minister, but I have been granted the title of Princess Shaoyi by the emperor's great favor. I follow my heart and my heart and follow my virtues. Once I grant the title of Congyi, I must inherit her virtues. Therefore, King Wu Mu wants to To promote sweet potato cultivation in the north, I was invited by King Wu Mu to come over to assist one or two, hoping that sweet potatoes will alleviate the disaster in the north."

This is also a rhetoric to the outside world.

She was the one who succeeded in planting sweet potatoes. Only she knows the details best. King Wu Mu wants to plant sweet potatoes throughout the northern border to alleviate the disaster in the northern border. This affects thousands of people in the entire northern border. No one should be cautious.

It is reasonable to ask Princess Shaoyi to come and help.

Princess Shaoyi was greatly favored by the emperor and was willing to do her best for the imperial court, so it was only natural that she would take the trouble to come to the north.

After hearing this sentence, Mr. Li's clothes were already wet with sweat: "The princess is righteous."

Why can the northern border maintain the current stable situation?

It's not all about how powerful King Wu Mu's force is, but that sweet potatoes can keep the refugees alive.

Last year, because sweet potatoes were officially planted for the first time and the number of vines available for cuttings was limited, the planting scale was mostly concentrated in the Xiangping area.

The sweet potatoes in this county alleviated the drought in the entire northern border and saved more than two million refugees. The imperial court granted the title of Princess Shaoyi, which was a well-deserved honor.

(Note: In ancient times, a county was equivalent to a city today. It was only after the reform and opening up that my country enacted the policy of changing counties into cities. Xiangping is the first county in Liaodong, covering a large area, and is equivalent to the provincial capital city.)

If the refugees have something to eat, they will naturally feel at ease.

High yield, drought tolerant, intrauterine and starvation tolerant.

The importance of sweet potatoes to drought is self-evident.

Princess Shaoyi came to the north because of her great righteousness. This is a big Buddha. It is clearly a golden Buddha. How can it be the fault of the four major families?

Having offended Princess Shaoyi, I also want to ask the thousands of people in the north whether they agree.

Yu Youyao chuckled softly: "After arriving in Liancheng, I learned that there are many mountains and forests in Liancheng and there is little arable land. Even if there are sweet potatoes, there is not enough arable land. The grain production is insufficient. This is not a long-term solution. I think Master Li is also very embarrassed. .”

Master Li didn't want to speak, but he had to speak: "What the princess said is true."

Yin Huaixi curled his lips slightly, feeling very interesting.

As soon as Mr. Li walked into the room, he was completely led by her. He had no power to resist. He was passive from the beginning and could only be manipulated.

Yu Youyao was noncommittal: "I have an idea here. I wonder if Mr. Li would listen to me?"

Master Li didn't want to listen, but Master Li had to listen. He twitched his lips dryly and smiled uglier than crying: "Princess, please, please tell me."
