After the game emperor awakens

Chapter 51

Beggar chicken has a complicated process and it is the first time to make it, which took a lot of time.After the chicken was roasted and night fell, Xie Chongjin was already a little hungry.

"Okay." Lu Xuechao saw that the heat was almost ready, "Take it out."

The two moved to the dining table and tapped lightly with a small hammer. The yellow mud on the outside peeled off, and the lotus leaves unfolded, revealing the red chicken inside, and the room was filled with fragrance instantly.

Xie Chongjin split the whole chicken, and gave Lu Xuechao the drumstick and wings.The chicken was so cooked that it fell off the bone with a slight tear.Once you taste it, the golden red skin is crispy and sweet, and the white and tender chicken is soft and tender, mixed with a touch of lotus leaf fragrance, which leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth.

I am used to eating ordinary fried chicken, this unique flavor makes Xie Chongjin refreshed, and the taste buds enjoy unprecedented enjoyment.

Xie Chongjin has boasted countless times, but still not enough: "I have a good fortune."

Lu Xuechao was quite satisfied with the taste of Beggar Chicken.When making a new dish for the first time, you have to try and fail a few times. It is really rare to succeed this time.

Lu Xuechao was not satisfied with this, and then began to study and make dishes with bacon as ingredients. Facing the secret recipe of sesame seed cakes provided by Zhou Ziyan, he thought about dry food that can be preserved for a long time and taste delicious, and went to the folks to learn how to make wine from the master wine maker... ...never a moment's rest.

Xie Chongjin also got busy.The evidence collected by the imperial envoy was almost complete, and they only waited for Xie Chongjin's order to arrest and release him.He didn't need to do the trivial matters of investigation and evidence collection in person, and he had to ask him for instructions before he could take any action on these major matters.The emperor and empress are in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is impossible for the imperial envoys to take over.

So after Yujing passed, Jiangnan also ushered in a major turmoil.

The magistrate thought that the emperor hadn't moved in Yunzhou for so long, and he thought he could escape the catastrophe. He didn't think it was not because there was no movement, but when there was a disturbance, there would be a big incident.

First, both the prefects of Yunzhou and Quancheng were dismissed and executed, and the local officials who were in the same rank as them were put into prisons and investigated one by one.All the money obtained from the raids was used for disaster relief. It was originally collected from the people, and it was eventually returned to the people.

The originally dark and decadent officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River has been rectified in this way, and it has become much clearer in an instant.

In addition to purging officials, Imagami has also vigorously punished local unscrupulous profiteers who are only looking for profit.Those who colluded with officials, those who evaded taxes, those who made money for the country, those who shoddy, and those who oppressed workers...all were investigated.At the least, paying taxes and fines, and at the worst, ransacking the house and beheading, which is very satisfying.

In addition, several imperial orders have been issued in succession today.The skinny horse industry is explicitly prohibited, and those who are born with skinny horses will be restored to good status and can work on their own.Those who buy and sell skinny horses will never blame the past, and they will all be punished in the future.

It can be done without prohibition by the law. The skinny horse industry has taken advantage of the loopholes of the imperfect law. It was not illegal in the past, and it is untenable to pursue it afterwards.Now that the law has been perfected, it is absolutely illegal to commit another crime after that.

But what is not pursued is only the trading of skinny horses themselves. Trafficking is already illegal and should still be investigated and punished.

After dealing with corrupt officials and profiteers, the most important thing is to resettle refugees.

Although there is disaster relief from the imperial court, giving some rice and grain and money can only solve the urgent need. The real long-term stability of the people is to have them have roof tiles to shelter from wind and rain, and have jobs to support their families.The flood destroyed houses and fields, leaving many people homeless and helpless.The imperial court has recruited a large number of migrant workers to repair water conservancy, which not only provides jobs for the people, but also prevents floods in the coming year, killing two birds with one stone. It has also paid for the people to repair houses and set up shelters.However, after all, there are too many monks and too little food. The land in the hardest-hit areas is flooded, and some places are designated as flood discharge areas in the planning of water conservancy projects. It is not suitable to build houses. There are still a large number of displaced people living without a fixed place.

Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao discussed the whereabouts of these refugees together.Lu Xuechao thought about seeing a large piece of wasteland that was uncultivated along the way southward, so he suggested: "If you don't allow the refugees to open up the wasteland, whoever opened up the wasteland will be given that piece of land. This is a reward and can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people to open up wasteland. Opening up wasteland requires a lot of construction. Workers, this can solve many livelihoods.”

In the whole world, is it the land of the king?People need title deeds to build houses, and what they buy is the right to use the land. The entire land actually belongs to the royal family.At present, the refugees are short of land, and there are so many abandoned lands in Changli, wouldn't it be good for the refugees to cultivate them?

In the construction of Changli, while using the wasted land, the refugees can live and work, and a large number of jobs are created. No matter what you think, it is not a loss.

Xie Chongjin thought for a while: "That's the way to do it."

After various policies have been implemented and implemented among the people, most of them are applauded.

There are elderly people who are unwilling to leave their hometowns, but most of them have no objection, although they are reluctant to leave their homes, and follow the court's arrangement.Migration due to natural disasters is not uncommon. What the people want is a shelter.

Maybe many years later, they will come back here, and return to the place where their ancestors lived for generations, and return to their roots, or maybe they will become the ancestors of future generations in another place.

Cloud House.

Yun Yao heard the various policies promulgated by the imperial court, and when he heard the item "prohibition of the skinny horse industry", Yun Yao's eyes moved.

"The Holy One is a wise king."

Being able to clean up corrupt officials, punish profiteers, and bring peace to the people is undoubtedly a good emperor today who cares about people's livelihood, but he can even notice the persecution encountered by inferior people like "skinny horses", and can add a special rule for this Fa, this is the true love for the common people, and pity for the world.

People who have become low-ranking people are not good citizens, they can be traded and killed at will, and few high-ranking people can see the existence of these people in their eyes.But today I saw it.

Yun Yao himself was born as a skinny horse. He was sold by his father as a child because of his poor family, but not everyone is like this.In Ren Yazi's place, there are many children of his age, many of whose origins are unknown.Maybe yesterday was the beloved baby in his father's arms, but today he was abducted and turned into a worthless child.

The thin horse is doomed to tragedy in his life.Some of them are beautiful, some are talented, and some are smart and capable.But no matter how excellent it is, it is just a commodity for sale, an existence without personality that is regarded as a plaything.Ordinary domestic slaves still have the dignity of working and eating with their hands. The meaning of the birth of the thin horse is to be played by others.There are very few lucky people like Yunyao, most of the skinny horses are not qualified to be married by a bright matchmaker, and being a concubine or a prostitute is a miserable life.

Yunyao's excellence allowed him to change his fate. After he became the young wife of the Jiang family, he thought about saving the fate of other skinny horses, but found it difficult.

The Jiang family could save one of Yunyao's skinny horses, but they couldn't save all the skinny horses.

Behind this industrial chain are the interests of countless people, human traffickers, wealthy businessmen, officials... If the people don't fight with the officials, even if the Jiang family is rich, they can't shake it.

But the emperor can be shaken.

Yun Yao doesn't like power.All he saw was the darkness, corruption, and corruption under the abuse of power by Jiangnan officials.The pinnacle of power is imperial power, and if imperial power is in the hands of a foolish monarch, it will be a disaster for the whole country.

If the imperial power belongs to Mingjun, the whole country will celebrate together.

Jiang Yue sighed: "Yes."

Officials and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are basically the same.But Jiang's family has a big business, and they have met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Yujing just because of the "easy pregnancy medicine", and even the dignitaries from the other three countries asked for money, so they didn't dare to bully them.

The other wealthy businessmen were jealous, saying that the Jiang family was fake and noble, and tried their best to discredit and suppress them.

When the whole world is turbid and only one person is pure, the innocent one will always be maliciously slandered.

Fortunately, the current Holy Majesty is a discerning person.

Recently, the Holy Majesty conducted a strict investigation, Jiangnan officials with problems have been dismissed one after another, and a thorough investigation of all walks of life was also launched, and the wealthy businessmen were panicked for a while.

When everyone is in danger, only the Jiang family can eat melons and watch the show leisurely.Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and you won't be able to find them if you check again.

Compared to this, Jiang Yue was more anxious about another matter.

"When will that magical doctor Lu come?"

Yun Yao smiled wryly: "This... I'm not sure either."

As soon as he came back that day, he told Jiang Yue about his encounter with the genius doctor, and specially instructed the concierge that if anyone with his name sticker came to visit him, he must respectfully welcome him in.

When Jiang Yue heard that someone had created a painkiller, he didn't believe it at first, but that day too many people witnessed the scene of the injured boy finishing the operation with a normal expression, so he knew it after a little inquiring.

He himself is proficient in medical skills, so he can't wait to see the miracle doctor who can invent this miracle medicine.

But it has been seven days, and there is still no news.

The two, who have been busy dealing with unscrupulous officials and businessmen recently, have no time to visit the door for the time being.

When Yun Yao thought that what he said at the beginning was that the genius doctor Lu would visit after he had considered it, he felt a little uncertain.

If Miracle Doctor Lu doesn't want to cooperate with the Jiang family after thinking about it, it's not impossible to simply stop coming.

This is indeed a great pity.

When he was lost, the concierge entered the room and said, "Master, Young Madam, two guests have come with the name of Young Madam. The young one has welcomed the guests into the front hall as instructed."

The expressions of the two changed, and they strode out quickly.

front hall.

There were two people sitting on the seats, still dressed in the same clothes, as if masks and hoods had been welded to their faces.After meeting each other three times, Yun Yao still doesn't know the other party's true face in Lushan.

But no one cares about that.It's normal for an expert who can create magic medicine to be a little mysterious.

Yun Yao greeted him with a smile, like a spring breeze: "Young Master Lu, thank you Young Master."

Jiang Yue stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, both of you."

His temples are gray and his expression is vicissitudes of life, and he can still see the handsomeness of his youth from his eyebrows and eyes.Although he was older than the two young people combined, his attitude was very respectful and polite.

Being able to invent painkillers is enough to be respected regardless of age.

"Thank you." Xie Chongjin said.

Jiang Yue didn't talk too much nonsense, and cut to the point: "I heard from Yunyao that Mafeisan, invented by Dr. Lu, has a miraculous pain-relieving effect?"

Lu Xue nodded, and handed over a bowl of soup: "It's exactly this thing."

To talk about cooperation, you have to show the product to the other party first.Lu Xuechao came prepared.

Jiang Yue looked at the bowl of medicine, drank it all in one gulp, and then asked his servants to fetch the knife.

Holding the knife, he slashed his arm without hesitation.

The boy was terrified: "Master!"

Yun Yao's expression also changed, and he got up immediately: "Father!" He decisively ordered the servant: "Send the doctor to bandage."

Xie Chongjin made up his mind to recognize too much and didn't look at the bloody light.

"..." Lu Xuechao thought for a while, and then warmly reminded, "Mafeisan is only for pain relief, not invulnerability, you will still be injured if you should be injured, Mr. Jiang, don't make fun of your body."

Jiang Yue was injured, but suddenly laughed, smiling, with tears in his eyes.

"It really doesn't hurt, it really doesn't hurt when the knife is cut..." He smiled and sobbed, "It would be fine if his knife didn't hurt..."

If he could have had this kind of medicine, why would his wife die due to unbearable pain and hemorrhage? If his wife was still there... let alone asking Jiangyan Medicine Hall for a third of the profit, so what if he went bankrupt.

"Father, calm down, the guests are here." Yun Yao supported him and whispered, and then apologized to the two, "I'm sorry, my father-in-law probably... thought of my aunt."

Both Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao expressed their understanding.

They investigated Jiang's family, but they didn't know the love between Jiang Yue and his wife.

Childhood sweethearts, supported and accompanied, very much like Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao.

It's just that such a love that everyone envied ended in tragedy because of Mrs. Jiang's dystocia.

Xie Chongjin sighed at the time: "So I never thought about letting you have a baby."

It is absolutely impossible for him to let Qingshu suffer this knife.

Lu Xuechao asked: "With Mafeisan, giving birth will not hurt anymore, don't you want a child?"

Xie Chongjin asked back, "Do you want it?"

Lu Xuechao: "I'm asking you."

Lu Xuechao did not want children.At first, he was afraid of pain, but later he just wanted to completely monopolize Xie Chongjin, and he didn't want anyone else between the two of them.

He doesn't long for the crystallization of love, he is greedy for all of Xie Chongjin's love.

Xie Chongjin said: "I am not the one who gave birth, so I am not qualified to answer such questions."

"But if Qingshu wants to hear the answer, he doesn't want to."

"I don't want any more scars on your body to be left because of me. Even if you don't hurt, I will hurt."
