Chapter 311 End Countdown
After returning to the princess's mansion, Liu Xu was obviously in a depressed mood.
After asking, Bao Beibei found out that Zhang Yu was actually Liu Xu's original name, and that woman was most likely his biological mother.
It's impossible to admit it, it just brought back the past and made me feel uncomfortable.
Bao Beibei had no reason to comfort Liu Xu. She had to deal with this matter on her own.
Not all parents love their children. That’s what happened to her and Xiao Yudian.
If you can't think positively, you'll be trapped in a cocoon. If you can think positively, that's it.
Liu Xu didn't know about Bao Beibei's past and thought she was talking about her experiences when she was a prince.
He patted her hand comfortingly to indicate that it was all in the past and they should all move on.
In fact, he had already let it go a long time ago, and he was very content with the life he had today.
It's not new to be disliked by your parents. There's no need to make things difficult for yourself.
It’s the same with cousin Yu. Her father wanted to kill her.
As for Beibei, the royal family was ruthless, and there were many emperors who killed their sons.
At first, his parents simply thought he was a disgrace and didn't want to acknowledge him, but at least they didn't think of killing him outright to avoid bringing disgrace to the family.
If the Zhang family doesn’t come to acknowledge their relationship, then forget it. If they come, just beat them out.
Liu Xu was optimistic, but Mrs. Zhang was not. She firmly believed that her son was not dead, but had become a general and a royal consort.
The eldest son wanted to send her back to Jiangnan, but she simply put a hairpin against her throat and cried, asking the eldest son to go and recognize her as her biological mother.
Young Master Zhang was afraid that something might happen to his mother, so he could only coax her. He was also afraid that the servants could not control his mother, so he simply accompanied her back to Jiangnan.
Only my second brother's family was left in the capital to run the business.
Qian's cousin has helped him a lot. If a family like them with no roots offends a noble in the capital, it will cause trouble for the noble.
The original purpose of bringing his mother to Beijing was to get away from that environment and make her feel better.
Secondly, he also had some thoughts in mind. He wanted to ask his mother to come over to keep in touch with his cousin who was in Beijing.
It is better to send her back now, and don't cause any more trouble to your aunt, or she will lose her chance to go to the capital.
Mrs. Zhang was given a sedative by her eldest son and returned home in a daze. She was really a little crazy after all this.
But those things had nothing to do with Liu Xu, as he had already returned to Quanrong with Bao Beibei.
He was always afraid that someone would recognize him if he stayed in the capital, so he felt more at ease returning to the land thousands of miles away.
Jiang Xinyu knew that Beibei was determined to develop a piece of land because she did not trust the Dajin royal family.
Gradually, he cut off contact with the little emperor.
Jin Zeyu was quite sad, as he felt that Sister Yu had become less close to him after she went out.
But as he grew older, his studies became busier, and he gradually forgot about this sister who would tell him interesting stories and teach him the principles of life.
Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies by.
Dajin has grown stronger in recent years, and people's lives have become better.
Even in years of natural disasters, the imperial court would reserve grain and reduce or exempt taxes to give them a chance to breathe.
Those people living in areas with perennial drought or frequent river breaches had already migrated to the Quanrong.
Although the population is not large, the population is growing rapidly because life is good.
It is hard to leave one's hometown, but those who live a good life will not travel thousands of miles with their families.
There was no other way before. They were born in that barren land and could only lament their bad luck and endure the hardship year after year.
What if I don't endure it?
During this era, household registration management was strict, and if they left their hometown, they would become refugees.
Refugees have no human rights, and some powerful traffickers specifically capture refugees and sell them.
There is capital involved in speculating, but arresting refugees is basically a business with no capital involved.
Since the human traffickers were in collusion with the government, they had no way to deal with it.
After struggling in our hometown, we help each other from all over the country to prevent others from catching piglets.
It's okay now.
The imperial court ordered entire villages and towns to relocate, and when they moved in they were given houses, furniture, clothes, bedding, and land.
This was an opportunity for them to change their fate, and many regions responded to the court's announcement.
Only wealthy families care about worshipping their ancestors. For the poor disaster victims who can't even afford to eat every day, staying alive is the most important thing.
This time the country did not let them down.
Although some frail, sick, elderly and children died on the way after traveling thousands of miles, everyone who arrived at the Quanrong King's City received the benefits they had long dreamed of and dared not even think about.
Everyone can only feel grateful to Bao Beibei, the princess who rules this area.
The first year's food was provided by the state, and these people quickly took root here.
The farming gene of the Dajin people was ingrained in their bones, and the grasslands around the royal city were soon reclaimed into fertile fields.
When Bao Beibei returned, he brought grain, seeds, farm tools and several hundred trusted subordinates provided by Xiao Yuan and Jin Zekang.
Although the imperial court still provides soldiers, as more and more people migrate here, they also begin to recruit their own troops from the public.
She had money, food, and military force, so it was only a matter of time before she drove Xu Zuyin's troops back to Beirong Pass.
Jiang Xinyu would come and stay for two months every two or three years. Xiao Yuan was reluctant to be separated from his wife, so he accompanied her on the pretext of inspecting the border.
Every time they left Kyoto, Jin Zekang got very angry. After all, Xiao Yuan had to do a lot of the work and it fell on him.
He wanted to exchange places with Xiao Yuan. After all, this would be his retirement home in the future and he also wanted to visit it.
In order to go out with his wife, Xiao Yuan sold his daughter-in-law. He gave a lot of power to He Zhang and asked him to work like a slave for his cheap brother-in-law.
The position of the supervisor of the East Factory was given to Ye Xiao a long time ago, using the excuse that he was getting older and more incompetent.
He Zhang has high IQ and strong abilities. Although he is obsessed with Ye Xiao, which makes people think that he has problems with his brain, he is a top-notch hand at handling government affairs.
From the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he moved through all six ministries within a few years.
Finally, he became the prime minister ten years later.
The position of prime minister has been vacant since Zhang Zhongyi's rebellion.
The power of the prime minister was too great, and Xiao Yuan and Jin Zekang did not want to have another position that shared power, so the position remained vacant.
Now that the emperor was 18 years old, Xiao Yuan had long wanted to retire from his position. After pushing the congratulatory letter up, he asked for his resignation from the emperor.
Whether sincerely or not, the young emperor showed great reluctance to leave, and repeatedly withheld the letters of resignation.
But Xiao Yuan had made up his mind and simply claimed to be ill and no longer attended court. After several months of wrangling, he finally got approval.
After the emperor approved his application to retire due to illness, this guy immediately ran away with his wife.
Ye Xiao looked at his unscrupulous parents who had no regrets and complained that they did not treat him as their own son.
He Zhang shook his head in amusement, "You are not my biological child. If outsiders heard you complain, they would definitely say that you are ungrateful.
The Marquis is gone, but he has left you not only a huge mansion but also a treasury full of gold and silver.
He also retained the hereditary title.
You don't even have anyone to compete with you for your inheritance, and yet there are countless people in the capital who envy you.
Stop complaining, we can adopt two suitable children later.
When they can stand on their own, we will go to the Quanrong to find our parents."
Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Look for it among your people.
I have delayed your family's continuation of the family line, and by giving them a title and a huge fortune, I have given an explanation to your ancestors.
Don’t pick someone who is too young. It’s best to pick someone who can work for us in two years.”
He Zhang felt that Xiao Ye's thinking was too simple, but he was still happy that the other party considered him.
