The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 279

Since Zhao Yunchu secretly left Beijing, the princess hasn’t stopped. Seeing heaven and earth enter the palace to beg to see him, either he is seeing the official or the queen mother, tears are streaming down, and he begged Renzong to help her find her son.

But Zhao Yunchu quickly left Beijing, no matter how he chased him, he couldn’t catch up. After everyone arrives in Yizhou, it doesn’t make much sense to come back, right?

The imperial concubine said that the significance was so small that she told Renzong about the relationship between Zhao Yunchu and Yun Yanhui.

Renzong was stunned at the time and scolded Yun Yan secretly in his heart. Now he couldn’t pretend he didn’t know.

He never wanted to intervene in such a thing, and he had agreed with Yun Yan back. If both families agreed, he would go ahead and make it easier.

However, who knew of an accident that caused Zhao Yunchu to be exposed in advance.

The princess cried and said that Ge Yan is the official’s right-hand man, and Xiao Chu is the official cousin. This is not just a business matter, but also a family matter. The two of them are mixed together. You must not ignore the official family. Together, suppress this unhealthy trend and let them return to the right path.

Renzong had already agreed to Yun Yan’s return, so he was inconvenient to turn back. He just wanted to wait for Yun Yan to come back and solve it by himself, so he could just wait and see. Therefore, Renzong had no choice but to prevaricate the princess.

How could the princess be willing to give up? She was still older than Renzong in terms of seniority. In addition to the inconvenience to reveal that she knew the truth, Renzong was too embarrassed to be too embarrassed, so she was entangled alive until Yun Yan returned to Beijing.

Not to mention, Zhao Yunchu’s departure from Beijing has been concealed. Every time the princess complained to Renzong and the Queen Mother, she took care not to let others hear it. This caused a lot of suspicion and caused a lot of rumors about the imperial family. What kind of moth came out again.

Now that I see these people who are captured and run away, they are all full of vitality and blood, and their complexion is ruddy. How can Renzong not feel resentful?

Those who are near Zhu are red, those who are near Mo are black, and the cousin and Yun Yan have been mixing for a long time, and their cheeks have become thicker!

Just in the perplexity and anxiety of the others, Yun Yan returned calmly and calmly, without saying a word, proceeding with a big courtesy, “The official is full of honor, and the young official has always been grateful to the emperor’s grace when he was captured. Thinking of how the officials would worry about the safety of the officials in Beijing, I blamed myself, why they were so careless and fell into the hands of the gangsters. In such a mood, I had to do something within my power and not waste the opportunity to go deep into the Tu people. , Understand the local customs and people’s livelihood. After being immersed and working hard…”

Everyone heard him describe that when he lived on the mountain, he also missed the emperor’s grace. He acted very affectionately, and all felt goose bumps.

As for this Geese, I don’t know if it’s not very well-educated, so it’s all about writing plain reports. At other times, it’s all about creating a lot of new words. It’s always weird to use idioms.

Renzong: “…speaking of the main point.”

Yun Yan quickly took out a memorandum from his arms, “wrote a memorandum, explaining in detail the minister’s understanding and suggestions on the local Tu people.”

Renzong watched Yun Yan back entangledly. He still had nothing to say, nor did he have time to teach Zhao Yunchu to leave Beijing without permission, which caused him to suffer… I’m ashamed to blame it!

Yun Yan looked at Renzong sincerely, making Renzong more embarrassed.

In any case, Yunyan Huiren was taken away so dangerously, and it was very hard to still think about contributing to the country. Renzong coughed embarrassingly, winked at Chen Lin, and Chen Lin went down and took Zou Shu over.

Renzong took it and glanced at it, confirming that Yun Yanhui had written it seriously, and then said with a serious face: “You Aiqing have worked hard, and you will be rewarded by your own merits in the future. Zhufeng and Caiyun stay, and the others will go back to the house. .”

Bai Yutang was still confused, but he thought, about the two people who stayed by the official family, probably one is to ask about Zou, and the other is to teach a lesson about leaving Beijing. This is a royal matter, depending on the official’s face. It has calmed down, and it should be fine. So Bai Yutang responded and prepared to go back and report to Bao Zheng.

After the others had left, Renzong stepped down from the throne, poked Zhao Yunchu’s forehead with his dragon claws, and reprimanded: “Go to the inner wall of the corner first!”

Yun Yan gave Zhao Yunchu a reassuring look, and he walked to the corner in grief, facing the wall and reflecting on it.

Renzong took a closer look at the memorial and found that Yun Yanhui mainly mentioned a few points in it. The effort of Sinicization is not enough. Simply propagating Han culture to the Tu people is not enough to gain popular support. Even the local government’s enforcement is not very strict.

This point should be the same as the native chieftain system. First, select some talented people to go to Han official school or even become officials, and then let them spread it. It is best to build more official schools.

In addition, there was another act of the imperial court before, which was to move Han people from a similar place. However, Yun Yan found that the Han people had a bad life. One was that they couldn’t get used to the environment, and the other was that they were easily deceived by the local Tu people.

Yun Yanhui suggested to move the Yao people directly from the adjacent two lakes. There are many Yao people in the two lakes, especially in Hunan. They are also Tu people who are used to living in the mountains, but they have accepted a lot of Han culture early on. Instead of moving the Han people, it is better to move the Yao people over.

Yun Yan had another big discovery when he returned. On the way back, he found that some people in the area planted cotton. Cotton was introduced by foreigners. China used to be silk wool before, and cotton was not promoted until the Ming Dynasty. The cotton from Lingnan may have come from the sea.

In fact, there are a lot of people who grow hemp in this area, and they grow well here. The cloth produced is good. Many Tu people have unique cloth dyeing techniques. From this point of view, this place is very suitable for the development of the textile industry.

Because it has not yet been promoted, there are not many people growing cotton in Guangxi, there is no large-scale development, and cotton spinning technology is not mature. But Yun Yan knew that cotton is a good thing. If it is widely planted, it will benefit a lot in the future. As soon as he discovered that cotton had flowed into China, he immediately became concerned and wrote about it.

In addition, there are a lot of Yunyan’s experiences and thoughts when he returned to Guangnan, including the Ziyunying that he saw as a green manure. Some ideas are mature, some are just put forward, and they need to be brainstormed and discussed again, but the views are eye-catching.

A trip on the ground is still very helpful. In fact, many of them were written after Yunyanhui combined his knowledge of existing things in modern times, confirmed the local situation, and wrote them down after thinking, because he did not know all the details, so the degree of detail varies.

For example, he doesn’t know how to spin cotton, and how to grow it best, which requires professionals to consider.

After Renzong finished reading it, he took a closer look, and felt that some of them were very feasible and suitable for actual needs. The look in Yun Yanhui’s eyes became more and more kind.

Yun Yan saw that Renzong was becoming more and more pleasant, and took the opportunity to talk about some new things and interesting things he had seen in Guangnan, which made Renzong happy.

In a good mood, Renzong put the notes away and said gently to Yun Yanhui: “Under such a situation, you still think so much, it’s not easy for you.”

Who knows if the staff will kill him brutally? But Yun Yanhui didn’t seem to have so many worries. After others were captured, they might come back to complain. Instead, instead of complaining, he instead gave a highly valuable memorial.

…Such a good official has no other needs, just want to break a sleeve, just break a sleeve! If you still don’t want to harm other people’s daughters, and save others, you are going out of Beijing alone. Everything comes out of love. What’s wrong? !

It is still accidentally exposed and will soon be suppressed by parents. It is miserable enough!

Renzong felt deeply that he was embarrassed to scold Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu. Maybe others can, but both of them are loyal to him. How embarrassed he is.

“Caiyun,” Renzong called Zhao Yunchu, seeing him look back at him blankly and timidly, and felt even more pity in his heart, “Come here.”

After Zhao Yunchu arrived, Renzong said to the two people: “The eighth uncles and eight aunts are only momentarily angry. Don’t try hard and try to do it slowly. I am inconvenient to take action, but there is one thing that can be guaranteed. As long as you don’t want to, no one will get along You got married.”

Yun Yan was overjoyed. Although Renzong still said to remain neutral, he could see that his position was already a bit crooked, and he promised that the two would not be forced into marriage.

The two of them saluted and thanked each other. Originally, Zhao Yunchu entered the palace with the idea of ​​being scolded, but in the end he left happily.

…

When he left the palace gate, Zhao Yunchu started to have trouble again, wondering if he should ask Ge Yan to go home with him.

He wanted Ge Yan to go back with him, and it should be good to make it clear to his parents, but he was afraid that his parents would do anything to Ge Ge, or say something hurtful.

Yun Yan had a long time to come back, “Go to my house, I have asked someone to inquire about it, the prince and the princess are also at my house.”

Zhao Yunchu didn’t know when Yun Yan came back to inquire about it. When he thinks about his parents at Ge Yan’s house, he must be together with Lady Zheng, and he can’t help but tremble.

Yun Yan shook Zhao Yunchu’s hand back, looked at him comfortingly, and drove back.

When I arrived at the house, I saw that the frame of the palace was outside his house, guarded by guards. As soon as the two returned, someone went in first to report the letter.

Yun Yan pulled Zhao Yunchu back and walked slowly to the door. No one stopped him, but he heard the voice of the princess from inside: “…Liu Niang, they have already returned, you can say something, we will not tell you until today. You really can’t think of a better way, so I can only ask you to persuade Brother Yan.”

The princess thought, Zheng Niangzi could persuade Yan Ge’er to stay, and it must be Yan Ge’er who made the decision between Yan Ge’er and Chu Ge’er. Even if Zheng Ping didn’t know how to speak, she had already helped her figure it out, organized and listed one, two and three. The first thing to do was to bear the brunt of Yan Ge’er is the only bloodline of the Yun family…

Yun Yan took a deep breath. He had been concealing it for a long time and had been preparing for it, but couldn’t stop the accident, and asked someone to help him out of the closet. At this moment, simply hit the curtain and go in.

The people inside knew that they had returned to Beijing and were outside, so they were not surprised.

Yun Yan saw Zhao Yuanyan’s face solemn, the princess’s eyes were red, and Zheng Ping’s face was expressionless. He stared at Zheng Ping closely, hoping to find some clues from her face and think about how to deal with it.

Zheng Ping did not see the two of them coming in, she solemnly bowed to the princess.

The princess stretched out her hand without stopping, “Liu Niang, what is this…”

Zheng Ping said apologetically, “Poor parents in the world, but…the concubine can only say sorry.”

Zhao Yuanyan and his wife were both struck by lightning, staring at Zheng Ping in a daze.

Zhao Yunchu also showed an incredible look. He was scared for a long time, fearing that Lady Zheng, who was particularly gentle to him before, would show disappointment like his mother, even crying and making a lot of noise. Unexpectedly, Zheng Ping apologized with a rebuff!

Only Yun Yan returned to his thoughts, only to realize that he was unexpected and reasonable.

Zheng Ping lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes: “Back then, because Yan Ge’er’s father was a Miao, our concubine’s family didn’t allow us to marry him. We could only decide for life privately. Even after his father passed away, her father and mother were unwilling to let Ge Yan go. My son entered Zheng’s house. However, my concubine never regretted it, but secretly thought about what kind of people they would like to be with if it were my own children.

She raised her head and smiled helplessly: “I am also surprised that Brother Yan and Brother Chu are…such a relationship, and they have been silent for a long time. They are thinking about a reason, no matter what kind of person is male or female. So, Please excuse my concubine for not persuading you.”

“…” Zhao Yuanyan and his wife were already in a mess in the wind. They thought they would be stable, but they had misunderstood Zheng Ping from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Ping would not change the style of the past, seemingly gentle and reasonable, but in fact would rather cut off the blood of the Yun family, and implement the principles, and resolutely not prevent her son from staying with the person she likes. She seems to be holding the banner of freedom of marriage.
