"Yao'er"
Lang Yuan brought his family to Yanyang Country. He hadn't seen his wife for a long time and missed her very much.
"Queen Mother"
The group of kids were so happy.
"Why are you here?"
Bei Lingyao was still thinking about rushing back to Canglang Country after finishing the affairs of Yanyang Country, but she didn't expect Lang Yuan to come with the children.
"I've got a surprise for you."
Lang Yuan hugged Bei Lingyao tightly. When Bei Lingyao was in Canglang Country, he felt at ease even when he was fighting outside.
But ever since Bei Lingyao came to Yanyang Country, even though he received frequent reports of victory, Lang Yuan always felt uneasy.
"Now that we have unified the Dongyao Continent, let's move our capital to Yanyang Country."
"OK."
Bei Lingyao nodded without hesitation.
The climate of Yanyang Kingdom is pleasant with distinct four seasons. Compared with the southern and northern parts of the desert where it is almost winter all year round, it is naturally the most suitable place to live.
Moreover, establishing the capital in Yanyang Country will also be conducive to controlling and managing the entire Dongyao Continent.
After unifying the world, the Canglang Kingdom officially dominated the entire Dongyao Continent and became the Canglang Empire.
Langyuan changed the name of the first year of Qi to Taihe and established the capital in Yanyang.
From this time on, Lang Yuan was called the Canglang Emperor.
He issued an edict to confer Bei Lingyao the title of Tiansheng Empress, giving her the power to act as regent and supervise the country.
On her mother's side, Bei Lingyao only posthumously conferred titles on the old marquis and Bei Kangshi.
As for the Bei family members and Bei Yuze wanting to see her, Bei Lingyao ignored them.
Bei Kangcheng is dead, and the Duke Dingguo Mansion is gone. Bei Yuze holds the title of the Duke Dingguo's son of the previous dynasty, but now it is the Canglang Kingdom, so this title naturally does not count.
Bei Lingyao also did not give any title to the Bei family.
"Yao'er, are you really not going to give the Bei family a title?"
Lang Yuan knew that Bei Lingyao had two half-brothers besides one biological brother.
My biological brother was adopted by the eldest wife, but my two half-brothers are still under my father's name.
"No, they want to work hard and pass the imperial examination to become officials."
Bei Lingyao didn't do anything to Bei Yuze, but she ignored him, treated him with disdain, and would never see him again.
She doesn't recognize the original owner's younger brother.
Of course, she could promote her two half-brothers and make Bei Yuze regret it for the rest of his life.
But Bei Lingyao did not do so. The original owner and his two half-brothers became like strangers because of the interference of his two concubines.
After she posthumously conferred titles on the old marquis and Bei Kangshi, she placed their tablets in the Martyrs' Shrine.
As for the other members of the Bei family, she didn't care.
Of course, Bei Lingyao would naturally respect the martial artist who had taught the original owner martial arts.
Lang Yuan didn't say anything else. His Yao'er would repay kindness with kindness and take revenge with revenge.
If someone is nice to her, she will feel like she owes them something if she doesn't reciprocate.
The Bei family is too cold to Yaoer's heart.
"How do you plan to deal with those people?"
Lang Yuan handed over the affairs of the Canglang Nation's people to Bei Lingyao. He did not interfere, but he still asked, wanting to know what Bei Lingyao was going to do.
"Now our Canglang Nation has unified the entire Dongyao Continent, but the most pressing matter is road construction. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, roads that connect in all directions. I won't kill them, but I'll let them serve in the army, build roads and bridges, open up wasteland, and mine..."
"Yao'er is too kind."
Lang Yuan admired Bei Lingyao's broad-mindedness.
He is a vengeful person. If it were him, he would definitely kill a group of people.
But his Yaoer did not take these people's lives, but spared their lives and let them serve as Yao laborers and do hard labor.
"I just don't want to waste manpower and resources. Canglang Country is in ruins and needs a lot of manpower and resources. It would be a waste if so much free manpower was not used."
Lang Yuan also thought this was a good idea, as killing them would put an end to everything. However, the Canglang Kingdom wanted to build a road, and if they recruited a large number of people to serve, there would definitely be complaints.
Influence public sentiment.
Of course, they can also pay labor.
But even if they unified the Dongyao Continent and obtained countless huge wealth, they could not squander it at will.
After all, building roads is not just a matter for Yanyang Country, other countries also need to build roads.
Bei Lingyao ordered the construction of roads and bridges, and all members of the Yanyang royal family, clan members, Prince Duan and Princess Chang, as well as officials with serious crimes, were sent to perform labor.
Re-examine the prisoners held in prisons across the country. Those who were wrongly accused can be acquitted, while those who are guilty can be sentenced to labor service.
Anyone who commits a crime will be forced to do hard labor.
Corrupt officials who were caught were forced to do forced labor with their entire families.
As soon as this decree was issued, the subjects and people of the entire Canglang Empire became much more obedient.
The Canglang Kingdom was in need of people, and no one dared to bring bad luck upon themselves at this time, otherwise the whole family or even the whole clan would have to serve as laborers.
I heard that those who work on road construction have it easy, but those who are sent to mine have a miserable life.
People like Prince Duan and Wei Zhiyong were sent to work in coal mines.
After experiencing the labor of farmers, Emperor Yan Yang was also sent to work in the coal mine.
Queen Yanyang, Princess He'an, the eldest princess and others were sent to open up wasteland.
Bei Yuzhu was in poor health and could die if she was physically exhausted, so she was sent to raise pigs.
She didn't even get to see Bei Lingyao, and Bei Yuzhu was very discouraged. She kept thinking about Bei Lingyao and how they would fight when they met again.
Even if she died, she would die with dignity and would never give in in front of Bei Lingyao.
But she didn't expect that Bei Lingyao didn't take her seriously at all.
Bei Lingyao was fully focused on building and governing the Canglang Kingdom with Lang Yuan, and she did not have the energy to pay so much attention to these people.
It's not worth it.
The most disappointed person was Bei Yuze. He always wanted to see Bei Lingyao, to apologize, and to say that he was forced.
But no matter how many thoughts came to mind, he could do nothing until he saw Bei Lingyao.
Bei Lingyao would never give Bei Yuze any chance.
Annoyed by Bei Yuze's frequent requests for a meeting, Bei Lingyao simply had Bei Yuze sent to accompany Prince Duan and the others.
"Sister Xi Que, I am your biological brother."
Bei Yuze was unwilling and couldn't believe it.
"You are not. You are the heir of the eldest branch of the Bei family. From the day you drugged the master, the master no longer recognizes you as his brother. Go away quickly and don't bother the master anymore. The master will not see you."
Xi Que hates Bei Yuze the most.
Although Bei Yuze was taken to the eldest house to be raised since he was a child, the master always kept Bei Yuze in mind because he was his biological brother from the same mother.
Any good things he had were sent to Bei Yuze first, and the first thing he did when he practiced martial arts diligently was to protect Bei Yuze.
But Bei Yuze was so cruel that he drugged his master and supported his master's marriage.
It’s better not to have a brother like this.
Not even as good as those two illegitimate children.
Although he didn't associate with his master because of his biological mother's instigation, at least he didn't cause trouble for his master or hinder him.
At this time, Bei Kangshi's two old concubines were extremely regretful.
"Son, you are different from the adopted eldest son. You are the general's biological son and the younger brother of Empress Tiansheng. She is your elder sister. Go and ask Empress Tiansheng for help."
…
"My aunt didn't allow me to have any contact with Empress Tiansheng before, so why should I ask her now? I don't have the face to do so."
"You silly child, you are confused."
"It's my aunt who's confused. If you don't want your son to do forced labor, don't even think about it."
