Chapter 187
Chapter 187
The map of Ji Yuan was left behind, and the prince was fascinated by it.
He felt that he was suited to exploring various places.
The word "exploration" was also coined by Ji Yuan, and people who explore are also called adventurers.
Actually, he is like Xu Xiake?
However, he obviously liked the word "adventurer" more.
He felt that the journey from the capital to Dianzhou Prefecture was very good.
It doesn’t count in the capital of Dianzhou either.
It’s just too annoying to deal with these government affairs.
It seems like there are a thousand threads that need to be resolved.
Moreover, going on an adventure is not about running around aimlessly, but about bringing good things to the people of the world.
The yield per mu is 5,000 kilograms.
Is Ji Yuan telling lies?
It seems that he wants to wait until the sea route is clear and then go there by himself?
I heard that there are big ships doing trade in Fujian. Can we go there too?
The prince thought of high-yield crops.
Then think of Ji Yuan’s position in the southwest.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Dianzhou Prefecture, Ji Yuan's words are more effective than his.
Who makes people here grow Champa rice?
Who made this found and cultivated by Ji Yuan?
If only he could find high-yielding crops, too.
It would be best if the whole world could plant it.
By then, the way the world looks at him will be the same as how Dianzhou looks at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan received another letter from Cui Wei and others, saying that King He Hui's entire family and the beautiful woman had secretly run away.
After all, they came for peace talks. Suixu City knew it would be difficult to capture them, so he asked Jiyuan and the others to be careful.
Another thing is that the prince really seems to want to travel overseas, which is very troublesome.
Have a headache?
Isn't that a good thing.
Young people have big ambitions.
Ji Yuan still burned the letters and closed his eyes.
He has had less things to do recently. Most of the officials who came from Tianqi State have certain experience and can share a lot of things.
As long as it is stable for more than four or five years.
This place is considered to be under control.
General Zhenwei and his men were fighting more and more smoothly. The number of their soldiers even increased, and many local people directly joined their team.
All the cities ahead were looking forward to the arrival of the Tianqi soldiers so that they could open their warehouses and distribute their goods.
Let alone He Huiguo.
People from other small countries even said, "Why don't you attack us? If you attack us, we can have land too."
Don't be in a hurry.
At least the people of Jingguo don't have to worry.
You are responsible for the riots on the border of Dianzhou Prefecture.
Late May.
The new King He Hui organized another major war.
If peace talks fail, we can only fight head-on.
But they were no match for General Zhenwei. No matter in tactics or experience, they could not defeat the soldiers of Tianqi.
Even the terrain advantage is gone.
After many local soldiers surrendered, they quickly led General Zhenwei and his men to familiarize themselves with the local situation.
The new King He Hui cursed angrily with hatred.
He started by scolding the Emperor of Tianqi, then the Crown Prince, and then his ministers.
Ji Yuan was criticized the most.
Then he was shot through the throat by a feathered arrow from a compound bow.
The young soldier touched his head and apologized to his superior: "I know the order hasn't been given yet, but I didn't hold it firmly."
They had been lying in ambush here for some time, and were doing fine.
But the other party was really too much. He kept cursing people. It would be fine if he cursed other people, but why did he curse Lord Ji?
The young soldier whispered, "I am also from Xinning."
He followed his parents to Ning'an Prefecture a few years ago, and then joined the army. Because of his good aim, he was chosen as an archer.
But he didn't have enough strength and was always a substitute.
After the compound bow came out, people like him who lacked strength could also serve as main attackers. This time, he was sent to carry out a secret mission.
As soon as he said he was from Xinning, his boss understood.
Everyone in Xinning remembers Ji Yuan.
In their words, Ji Yuan is the best official in the world.
What day was it outside Tianqi Kingdom before, and what day is it now in Ning'an Prefecture.
The people of Xinning feel it most deeply.
They also hate to see people scolding Lord Ji the most.
As for the other side, they thought that King He Hui was dead, so they screamed?
Just shout.
The person is already dead anyway.
Their goal was achieved.
"Find the sons of the new King He Hui and wipe them out completely. He has hidden his two oldest sons."
The team is responsible for carrying out the mission in secret, and things must be done quickly and efficiently!
Everyone obeyed and continued their tasks.
Mid-June.
He Huiguo.
Destroy the country.
All cities and all people belong to Xinqi people.
That is the new Tianqi people.
This place was named Nanqi Prefecture, and the first prefect was Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan's official position had just been decided, and the people of Yuanhehui Country, who had been a little agitated, suddenly calmed down.
Is Lord Ji their official?
Did they hear it right?
That’s great!
They had always wanted Lord Ji to be an official here. They didn't expect that although the process was tortuous, they actually did it.
Although it was in the form of a country being destroyed by Hehui.
But they don’t mind!
Serfs still exist under the rule of Hehui State.
They also sell wood locally, but the lumberjacks are treated completely differently.
When Champa rice was introduced to the Kingdom of Ha Hui, it was the royal family who planted it first, not to mention the heavy taxes and endless labor.
Many people envied the group of Xinning people who left with Ji Yuan back then.
The royal family of Hehui Kingdom doesn’t care about the border residents, so how can they care about them?
Still suffering the same way.
After the soldiers from Tianqi arrived, they not only distributed land, food and houses to them, but also killed all the people who had oppressed them before.
Not to mention, it was their new king who killed the emperor of Tianqi.
This is all nonsense.
Anyway, they were extremely happy to think that Lord Ji was their prefect.
Ji Yuan suddenly became the prefect, and knowing that it was the prince's appointment, it was not surprising.
He is indeed a more suitable candidate.
Unexpectedly, he spent half of his second term as the prefect of Suzhou and the other half directly as the prefect of Nanqi Prefecture.
But he couldn't stay here for long.
And there are too many things going on here!
It feels like the governance here is at least two hundred years behind that of Tianqi State, and it has a bit of a serfdom feel to it.
The feudal dynasty was indeed backward, but it was still better than slavery.
Ji Yuan held his forehead and continued to deal with local government affairs with local officials.
As for the former officials of Hehui State, those who could be used were used, while those who could not were taken away with their valuables and fled.
June 29th.
The Southern Qi Prefecture gradually stabilized.
This new territory, with 22 counties and a population of 890,000, has finally resumed its normal life.
Ji Yuan’s first order was to build an official road from Suixu City to Hehui Kingdom.
From now on, the goods here will no longer be scarce, and the prices will not increase exponentially.
Ji Yuan also went to see the merchants from Tianqi who had been captured.
Ji Yuan even saw an old acquaintance.
He had been smuggling on the border between the two countries a few years ago, but I didn’t expect that he was still doing it now and had been caught.
Ji Yuan said with a smile: "From now on, it will belong to one country, and there will be no need for smuggling."
What this means is, forget it.
They do earn their money hard.
The other party was stunned when he saw Lord Ji.
Now he was even more confused, but his mouth was faster than his brain: "Then repair this official road quickly, isn't there something called cement that can be repaired very quickly?"
Ji Yuan was speechless.
But it's true.
The cement workshop in Dianzhou Prefecture seemed to be almost finished, so he said, "Okay, I'll talk to the governor of Dianzhou Prefecture and ask him to supply us first."
The businessman quickly slapped his mouth.
How did he speak to Lord Ji?
But Lord Ji not only answered, but also agreed with his idea.
The merchant chuckled and said, "That's right. The Southern Qi family is very rich. They have two huge silver mines. You can bring a steam engine here later so that the mining can be faster."
Ji Yuan looked at him, and the merchant whispered, "Really, there is a silver mine, and it's very large."
Silver mine.
silver?
Ji Yuan’s mind raced.
yes.
How could he have forgotten about this?
There should indeed be silver mines in this area.
With silver.
Not to mention one official road, even ten can be built.
No wonder the new king of Hehui Kingdom has such a big appetite and can give so many bribes.
It turns out that he wanted to expand his power by relying on the silver mine.
Fortunately it was contained.
Really let him rule Southeast Asia.
Given the current level of Tianqi State, there will definitely be devastating consequences.
There is a new prefecture in Tianqi Kingdom, and there is also a large silver mine in it.
All the information was compiled into a document and sent to the prince.
What is a silver mine?
It's money.
With money, everything becomes easier.
When the news of the silver mine reached Dianzhou Prefecture, the officials who had previously said that peace talks should be held shut up.
You should have told me there was a silver mine earlier!
I should have said it earlier!
They definitely won’t stop us!
No wonder they were so generous and gave a bribe of 100,000 taels of silver directly.
The magistrate who was beheaded certainly didn't know that He Huiguo was so rich.
wrong!
It should be called Nanqi Mansion!
The Southern Qi Prefecture became slightly more stable.
General Zhenwei continued to lead his men westward without stopping.
Why?
Shouldn't those small countries that harass Tianqi's borders be taught a lesson by Tianqi's cavalry?
They even dared to invade their borders while they were fighting.
It really needs to be learned.
General Zhenwei led 900 elite composite bow soldiers and experienced soldiers to plow the southwest.
The small countries around that caused trouble had no choice but to beg for mercy and send in documents of surrender. From then on, they would be vassals of Tianqi and part of it, so they just had to be left alone.
They were bewitched by the new King Qian Hehui and did such foolish things. From now on, they will be vassals of Tianqi State and pay tribute to Tianqi State every year.
Most of the royal families in these small countries knew that they were just implicated.
The real problem is Jingguo.
If Jingguo had not agreed to join forces with Hehuiguo, they would not have dared to cause trouble.
Everyone in Jingguo felt in danger for a while.
But with a population of three million, they are just a larger version of Hehui Country.
When General Zhenwei's soldiers arrived, the situation was exactly the same as before.
The only difference is that Jingguo was not destroyed directly. After all, they did not really provoke it, so it would not be a good idea to destroy the country directly.
It’s just that the original Jing Kingdom became West Jing Kingdom and East Jing Kingdom, directly divided into two halves, with different rulers.
This is not difficult to do.
Just support their ambitious prince.
And when General Zhenwei and Ji Yuan went there.
It's almost done.
Don't forget.
The closest state to Jing State is Ning'an Prefecture.
Ning'an Prefecture has money and people, and has made preparations in advance.
After giving the instructions to the prince, I have been working on this matter.
They directly supported a king of Dongjing Kingdom and even helped him conquer some territory.
The Jing Kingdom, which originally had a population of more than three million, was divided into two countries after some of its residents fled.
Now it is even worse than the previous He Hui Kingdom.
But everyone knows.
They asked for it.
It is also a belated revenge.
They dared to feed poison pills to the Emperor of Tianqi Kingdom and deliberately harassed various places in Dianzhou Prefecture in order to force General Zhenwei to withdraw his troops, so they were doomed to this fate.
That was the Tianqi Kingdom, the Tianqi Kingdom that they could only look up to!
When the King of Dongjing Kingdom saw Ji Yuan and General Zhenwei, he was extremely respectful and didn't dare to say a word.
When asked, the King of Dongjing said indignantly: "This throne originally belonged to me. My father, the King of Xijing, who is also my uncle, took advantage of my young age to seize power!"
The old king died and the prince was still young, so the king's younger brother took advantage of the child's youth to seize power.
In this situation, the country was already divided internally, and with the support of Ning'an Prefecture, Xijing Kingdom quickly split away.
Commander Li of Ning'an Prefecture stepped forward and said to Ji Yuan with a big laugh, "Master Ji! We finally meet again!"
There was someone next to him who ran faster.
"era!"
Now, the only people who can call Ji Yuan by his name are his good friends.
Wu Renhao said excitedly: "The BMW you asked someone to send can actually carry me. It's really a good horse."
With his physique, he has never had a suitable horse.
But the horse that Ji Yuan sent him actually allowed him to ride and fight.
This time he and Commander Li were helping the new king of Dongjing Kingdom to conquer territory, and he rode such a good horse.
Ji Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Last time you came to Ning'an Prefecture with me, I said I would find you a good horse. I have fulfilled my promise."
"I had completely forgotten about this." Wu Renhao couldn't help but say.
They came to Dianzhou Prefecture together in the 39th year of Huayuan. Six or seven years have passed. Does Ji Yuan still remember?
He rode a rented horse at that time, but it was not used to riding, so he had to change horses frequently, otherwise the horse would be really tired.
But Ji Yuan actually remembered to bring the horses all the way from Suzhou.
Wu Renhao was so moved that he almost cried.
The other generals were also quite excited when they saw this.
Which general doesn’t want a good horse from the northwest?
It was sent from thousands of miles away.
This is a really good brother.
It’s great to be brothers with Ji Yuan.
The king of Dongjing coughed lightly.
Look at me!
Aren’t you all gathered here to help me get the Jing Kingdom territory?
Although they knew that it was impossible for them to conquer all of Jing State and give it to him, they could give him a few more cities, which would make the territory slightly larger than that of the other party.
Instead of the current balance?
As for this request, it was definitely declined.
They want to teach these small countries a lesson, but forget about other things.
July is over.
This southwestern war, which began in the first month of the year and ended in July, ended with the destruction of Hehui State, the split of Jing State, and the defeat of other small countries.
The previous disturbances seemed to have been put on hold.
Even banditry was brought under control.
The public security in the border town of Dianzhou Prefecture suddenly became extremely good.
It seemed as if everyone had a kind look on their faces.
Thinking about the chaos in March and April now, it seems like a lifetime ago.
Many border residents also responded: "We still have to fight. After a fight, everything will be quiet."
"That's right. If we negotiate, these people will definitely think we are scared."
"Well done, these people deserve to be punished."
"It's really hateful that they came here and deliberately destroyed our rice fields."
"Don't worry, Lord Ji has already negotiated the compensation. All the rice fields that were destroyed and the homes that were robbed have been registered. They will be asked to pay the silver directly."
"Silver? Do they have silver mines, too?"
"It seems so. If there is no silver mine, then you can get other compensation."
"But there are a lot of Xinning people coming this time."
"Yes, there are more in Nanqi Prefecture. Many people have fled there."
"It is said that the land between Suixu City and Nanqi Prefecture has been occupied by people from Xinning. Lord Ji has also encouraged them to settle there."
Only by settling down can a place be occupied.
Ji Yuan also encouraged more trade between the two sides and to quickly repair road stations.
We also request the court to send the real prefect of Nanqi Prefecture.
He can't stay in this position for long.
The prince was very puzzled by this. He thought he had done a good thing?
Ji Yuan is very prestigious in this area. As the prefect of Nanqi Prefecture, everyone respects him.
Seeing that the prince was puzzled, Cui Wei explained to Shi Xinhui privately: "I am just too convinced."
"This is the territory that has just been annexed by Tianqi. If Ji Yuan wants to rebel, wouldn't it be very easy?"
"Impossible! You are also born in the same year as Ji Yuan! How can you say that!"
The two of them thought to themselves, we are born in the same era, that’s why we said that on purpose.
The two of them saluted quickly and said seriously, "Of course we won't. What about the others? Those who recommended Lord Ji to be the prefect of Nanqi Prefecture are planning to put this hat on him."
The prince thought for a moment and asked them to stand up.
The person who made this suggestion to the prince was a member of the royal family who was accompanying him.
The prince sighed.
After this trip, he no longer knows everything.
The royal family disliked Ji Yuan, and the aristocratic families also disliked him.
It is obvious that the position of the prefect of Southern Qi Prefecture is really suitable in this era, and they are even trading with each other now.
All the policies formulated by Jiyuan are good and very good.
Why don't these people understand?
Why do you want to frame loyal and good people?
It seems that I am the only one who can protect Jiyuan?
The prince's feelings towards Ji Yuan are simple.
admire.
The more I know about his reputation in the southwest, the more I admire him.
He is a truly selfless person.
But this reputation actually became his shackles.
The prince hesitated and said, "Okay, I will ask my father to replace the prefect."
"No, no, no. Letting Lord Ji request himself can also show his determination." Cui Wei said quickly.
Oh, what a hassle.
No wonder my father is getting old so fast.
The prince waved his hand and picked up the map again.
Adventure is fun though.
He hasn't even traveled all over the beautiful mountains and rivers of Tianqi Kingdom.
Ji Yuan knew what was happening here and sighed slightly.
But he understood that his safety was guaranteed for the time being.
He may be the prefect of Nanqi Prefecture for a while, but after a while he will definitely be suspected.
So he had to resign in advance and find a suitable person to come over.
Ji Yuan actually has a candidate in mind.
The prefect of Ning'an Prefecture was Liu Tongzhi, who used to be his deputy, and later Liu Zhizhou.
He knows the situation in the southwest best.
Moreover, the two places are close to each other and their customs and habits are similar.
Besides, he had been his deputy before, so he was very suitable to take over as the prefect of Nanqi Prefecture no matter from which perspective.
Liu Zhizhou of Ning'an Prefecture didn't know yet that he would be promoted soon.
At this moment, he was still discussing Lord Ji's marriage with Lord Dong Kang of Wuxin Mansion.
It was originally agreed that he would be in charge, so why is there one more person?
He is also a wealthy man.
In August, Ji Yuan and his party left from Dongjing Kingdom. The passage he wanted had been opened, and he would be able to go to the beach soon.
As for now.
General Zhenwei returned to Suixu City. He, Commander Li, and Wu Renhao took time out to visit Ning'an Prefecture.
Now that I'm here, and it's only a two or three day journey, I must go and take a look.
He has not returned to Ning'an Prefecture since last December.
It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about this.
This was the first time in his two lives that he was getting married, and it was impossible not to be nervous.
Ji Yuan scratched his head and changed his clothes before arriving in Ning'an Prefecture.
He never cared about these things, and this time is different.
As an experienced person, Commander Li laughed and said jokingly, "Master Ji, you are already handsome. If you dress like this, you will outshine everyone else."
Ji Yuan wasn't dressing up, he was just changing into decent clothes.
She was wearing a stone-blue robe, a black jade belt around her waist, and her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin.
His already angular profile looked even more stern due to nervousness.
Sitting in the Northwest BMW, he is tall and looks quite outstanding.
Commander Li took another look and thought, not to mention Ji Yuan’s ability, this face of his would be enough to feed him for the rest of his life!
As soon as I entered Ning'an Prefecture, Liu Zhizhou was already waiting at the city gate.
When the local commander returns victoriously, he will definitely bring a group of officials to welcome him.
But I didn't expect to see an unexpected person.
Lord Ji!
Cheng Yisan, who was in the team of officials, had already seen him.
It is hard not to see a tall man on a big horse.
He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his eyes are curved and seem to always be smiling, which makes him very handsome.
When he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, he was handsome enough to attract countless people to watch him.
Now, many years have passed, and the young top scholar has become a young official. He seems to be even more handsome?
Cheng Yisan's ears turned red.
She is aware of her own shortcomings.
I thought Ji Yuan was handsome back then.
The same is true today.
But back then, she was just admiring him and had no idea of the current situation.
Many people were also secretly looking at Cheng Yisan.
Cheng Xuezheng and Lord Ji are engaged!
It's a pity that Lord Ji was busy with the war and couldn't come.
Some people also said that Lord Ji agreed to the marriage in order to repay Teacher Cheng's kindness.
But now it seems not like that?
Ji Yuan got off his horse, greeted Liu Zhizhou, and immediately came to Shan Shan's side, coughing lightly and asking, "How are you doing recently?"
Cheng Yishan groaned, and felt that Ji Yuan seemed even more handsome as he approached. However, she still said generously, "I'm fine. How about you?"
"good."
"You think that's OK?" Liu Zhizhou came over and said without any tact, "Hehui State has become the Southern Qi Prefecture, and even found several silver mines. Is this just OK?"
Ji Yuan saw Shan Shan was also laughing, so he also laughed and said, "Yeah, it's okay."
After that, he patted Liu Zhizhou on the shoulder and whispered, "You will be the prefect of Nanqi Prefecture later."
Liu Zhizhou: ???
he?
Become a prefect?!
What a joke.
Ji Yuancai did not answer, but walked around him and came to Cheng Yishan's side: "Are father-in-law and mother-in-law okay? Are they in good health?"
"Everything is fine." Cheng Yisan looked at Ji Yuan's belt and thought to herself, this piece of jade is not very good. She had received a good piece of jade before. It would be much better if she could replace it. Then her whole aura would definitely be more powerful.
Ji Yuan looked at his waist and then at Cheng Yisan's eyes.
?
What's wrong?
Is there something wrong?
Seeing him staring at her without blinking, Cheng Yishan's ears turned red again: "Let's go, we'll talk later."
Cheng Yisan suddenly developed a little hobby.
Such a handsome guy should dress up well?
Ji Yuan had no idea about this. He just looked at the Cheng family’s house and took half a step back.
Has the Cheng family's business developed to this extent?
Was all this earned by Shanshan?
