August.

Chuzhou Frost City is now the border city of Xiaozhou of Yu Kingdom.

It used to be a small town on the border, and it has never been rich. Because of another battle, the nearby farmers have no food. Fortunately, after being beaten down, the court of the Yu Kingdom introduced credit.

They were re-registered, and then began to be given new household registration books, and finally used the household registration books to go to the court to get seeds and food.

Seeds are something called potatoes, and it is said that they can only be planted in September, but before that, the imperial court would come down with a bachelor of agriculture and explain to them how to sow.

"I heard that it is the same grain as sweet potatoes. It produces a lot of grain. As long as it is planted well, there is no need to starve to death in winter."

A Chu farmer carefully took his household registration book and said to the people next to him: "I heard that people in Yu Kingdom have never starved to death, and their farmers will be compensated by the court in disaster years."

The person next to him is his neighbor. He came to collect the household registration book together today and heard the words: "Shh - we are also Yumin now."

Yumin got a lot of things.

For example, now, after they have taken the household registration book, they can go to get the planting pamphlet. There are many "scientific planting" methods in it. It is the same as the experience of the old farmers in the past, but it is a little different. In the past, it was based on word of mouth. Write it down, it's different now, and there is a "scientific basis" for how to plant it now, and it all makes sense.

"Why do the seedlings need to be transplanted?" An agronomist was explaining the knowledge in the booklet loudly, "The first one is that the seedlings are scattered in one place, saving money and easy to take care of, and the second one, these seedlings are transplanted. After that, the root system... yes, it is the whiskers of the seedlings, it will be better, it will help increase the branches of the roots, make them stronger, and the transplanted seedlings will have a much higher yield."

After the peasant heard it, he kept it in his heart, and took out the household registration book to the officials of the court. After reading it, the yamen wrote down his name, and then gave him a booklet and stamped it behind his name. chapters.

Then he said: "After taking it back, find someone you know to teach you the words you don't know. There is always a person who can read in a village, and we have allocated the one, so you can just go to him."

The first time the farmer came to the city to register, he was shocked when he heard this, his face turned pale, but the yamen saw him so calm, and he was used to it.

He explained: "Yu people have no white dings, you should read more books by yourself, if you have the conditions, why don't you know how to read? Now that you are recruiting workers everywhere, you should always understand the contract, right? If you don't understand, what should you do if you are deceived? You You still have to be able to write your own name, right? What if you are fooled if you can’t write it? After you go back, while someone is stationed in the village, you should learn more and don’t always think about being lazy.”

The peasants are afraid of literacy, they think it is too difficult, and, can they learn to read?

I have been blind for a lifetime, but when the end comes, I have to learn to read, but are you happy?

Still happy.

Because the yamen also said, "Can't your children be able to read and write anymore, auntie and auntie can't do anything, right? In the future, there will be parent-teacher meetings in the school, and the children's names will be posted on the seats, and you don't even know their names. knowledge?"

In any case, a word must always be recognized.

But the focus of the farmers is that the dolls can read.

The peasant asked, "My three dolls are all about the same age, do they all have to start from the first grade?"

They still want to know these things in the end.

The yamen nodded, "Those who don't know how to read or who don't have a foundation must start learning from the first grade."

Farmer: "Oh, that's good, my three boys have a school, and they have a helper when they fight."

He was conscious of being humorous, and it did cause the people around him to burst into laughter, but the yamen turned cold and said loudly, "Are there only three boys in your family?"

The peasant was stunned for a moment. He was afraid of the instincts of the officers and soldiers, and said cautiously, "There are two more daughters."

Servant: "How old is the girl?"

Farmer: "The older one is one year older than the younger one, and the younger one is the tail, only six years old."

The yamen clapped the table, vividly interpreting the image of a cruel official, and said: "No! If the court has ordered, four years of compulsory education must be implemented. Whether it is a son or a daughter, they must go to school. If your family does not give it When your daughter goes to school, the imperial court will suppress her when she does things in the future, so I can't give you special discounts."

The peasant's face turned pale again, "Why do you want to do this, our own daughter, do you want to send it or not, will the court force it?"

The yamen waved his hand impatiently, "This is Yu's order, this is a law, if you don't want to follow it? Well, you can go with someone yourself. There are still a few states in Chu that have not been captured, so you can go there. Side, don't take up space here."

After he finished speaking, he said fiercely: "Your name is Li Tie? I will report this matter. If you see your son going to school but not your daughter in the future, just wait and see."

The peasant was frightened and looked like he was about to faint, and shook his head again and again, "My daughter is going, and I'm going, and I don't have much money."

They have all inquired, Shuxiu is not ordinary, and can still take out loans, which will be repaid slowly when the children come out.

Only then did the yamen look good, and in an instant, he returned to the appearance of He Mu Chunfeng, and said loudly: "You guys are back, don't be idle, the city is going to recruit workers recently, and various factories will start to be built. There is one in the city. The place is called the Recruitment Office, and it will write you resumes. You bring your resumes to the recruitment conference next to the Recruitment Office. The shops and factories there are all negotiated by our court. You don't have to worry about being cheated. When you arrive at the place, ask Know what they want, and what kind of work you want to do, choose both ways, once you have made your choice, just sign a contract with them, do you hear?"

I heard it, I heard it, although I didn't understand it very well, but the court found something for them to do, and they understood it.

So they went to discuss one by one, and occasionally Li Yuan complained about the strict control of the imperial court, and was instantly overwhelmed by the voice of discussing fortifications and agricultural affairs, and disappeared.

...

At the same time, Shen Liu and Yu Zhu'er led a final attack on the new imperial capital of Yu Kingdom.

Gongsun Yao was forced to a desperate situation.

The General of Chu State took his troops and horses to fight against Gu Xiqiao's attack. He stubbornly guarded the new imperial city and asked Chu Tianqi to take the young master away.

Chu Tianqi burst into tears. For the first time, he cried out in front of Gongsun Yao. He held Gongsun Yao's hand and said, "I am here, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the general again."

Gongsun Yao knew what Chu Tianqi meant.

With a tragic smile, he said to Chu Yuan: "Little Highness, in the future Qingming, I will also offer a glass of thin wine to Wangyao."

Chu Yuan paused, but still said: "If you can't defend the city, you don't need to..."

Gongsun Yao interrupted his words and said with a smile: "Why do you need to say more, little highness, the city is in the people, the city is lost, and the people are dead."

What is the life and death of a man?

When Chu Tianqi and Chu Yuan left, he stood in the empty hall and suddenly felt a little sad.

He took the knife and put on the armor, paused, and murmured again: "It's just that when I died, I took the knife of Yu and wore the armor of the Kingdom of Yu, which is not beautiful."

Because Yu Kingdom's armor and swords are the best, so their generals and head soldiers have already used them.

Then he turned around and left the hall at dawn. The soldiers guarding outside followed behind him, shouting, "General—"

Gongsun Yao stopped.

Lieutenant General: "General... Can we really not surrender?"

The knife in Gongsun Yao's hand moved, unsheathed, and slammed across the neck of the lieutenant. "The Chu army would rather die than give in. This is the case with Qin, and the same with Yu."

"I want to kill anyone who dares to surrender."

The lieutenant twitched the corners of his mouth hard and said, "General, shall I write a letter to the old mother and wife at home? I hid some private money. If I die, they don't know."

Gongsun Yao nodded, turned and left without saying much.

This battle tonight may be the last battle.

He mounted his horse and waved his sword, "Listen to me, as long as anyone dares to retreat back, they are deserters, deserters, and kill Wushe."

...

Shen Liu took the binoculars and looked at the city gate of Chu State.

With their troops on the scene, the demise of the state of Chu is already a foregone conclusion.

After the state of Chu was conquered, it was the state of Qin, but there was also a dispute within the state of Qin, and it was heard that they were still fighting for peace or war.

Shen Liu took a bite of the pork jerky and said to Yu Zhu'er, "After this battle, maybe I can rest for a while."

After three months of fighting, the soldiers are also very tired.

Qin State is not like Chu State, coups have been taking place all the time, people are unstable, the monarch of Qin State has always been one person, and strong Qin is not an empty talk.

If Qin State fights, they can accompany them, but if Qin State doesn't fight, they don't necessarily have to continue fighting.

After having sex, the casualties were too great.

Yu Zhu'er looked at the city in front and said, "You said, can this Gongsun Yao surrender?"

Shen Liu shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work."

It was as if they were to submit to the Emperor of Chu's knees, but they were unwilling.

This is the dignity of a general.

Yu Zhu'er sighed: "It's a pity, he's a good general."

Shen Liu was silent, "During the chaotic war, everyone who died has his own mission, he has it, and we have it too."

When the two armies went to war, casualties were inevitable, but when they met the Chu soldiers who would rather die than surrender, they could only fight to the death.

Each has its own master.

While talking, the artilleryman came up and said, "It's all measured, General, you can start the siege."

Shen Liu nodded solemnly, "Okay, let's go now."

After he got down, he saw Gongsun Yao standing on the city gate. Shen Liu shouted towards it, "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, you are already surrounded, why don't you come down and talk, the city will still be intact."

Yu Zhu'er rode on the horse and also shouted: "General Gongsun, you are willing to die for the state of Chu, but what about your soldiers? Are they willing? This is a mortal battle, your emperor has already escaped, they all Escape, what's the use of you staying here?"

"A country is no longer a country."

Gongsun Yao was unmoved, and neither were the soldiers behind him.

The archers were ready to face the Yu army below.

Shen Liu shook his head and said, "Then let's end this war today."

He sank and said, "Siege the city—"

The artillery attacked the city gate, Gongsun Yao also threw crossbows at them, the two armies smoked, and the archers brought fire and oil to the Yu soldiers. in one place.

Shen Liu's target was Gongsun Yao, and he kept going forward to kill. Gongsun Yao looked at Shen Liu who was getting closer and closer, but he was very calm.

Shen Liu had a good fight with him.

If it weren't for the enemy army, he would really admire Gongsun Yao.

When the knife stabbed into Gongsun Yao's heart, he sighed and said, "You should be a hero in life, and a hero in death. This city will be called Gongsun City from now on."

Gongsun Yao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in relief.

Yu Zhu'er rushed over, looked at his body, and said, "He wants death wholeheartedly. Only when he is dead can his soldiers survive."

Catch the thief first and capture the king. Once he dies, the army will be moved, and most people will not want to fight. It seems that the five fingers that will die on their heads are gone. They can breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, it has reached the final stage of the war. Some soldiers' parents are outside the city. They dare to work so hard because they know that their parents are living well with Yu Bing.

However, sometimes people's thoughts can be changed in an instant.

They know their parents are doing well outside the city, and they inevitably want to live with them.

When the soldiers were withdrawing, their knives were taken away, and one of the Yu soldiers said, "You guys bought these knives from us, right? Now they have been improved."

It seems like the war has been over for a long time.

...

In mid-August, the news of Chu's demise began to spread around.

In Xiaozhou, an old man is writing his resume.

Hearing the news, he hurriedly asked, "Dead?"

The person next to him hummed, "It's really dead."

Their country is gone.

They wanted to be sad, but they still had Yu Guo's resume in their hands and were looking for something to do.

Died too fast.

The old man sighed, "General Gongsun... Where is it?"

The talent next to him was really sad, "General Gongsun, died in the last battle."

The old man remembered that he had met General Gongsun two times before, and Gongsun Yao always wanted him to be an official.

Gongsun Yao asked him twice, and he refused twice.

But today, when he was going to apply for an official position with his resume, the news of General Gongsun Yao's death came.

He asked, "Where are the remains of the general?"

The man said: "I heard that it was in the city where he died. That city has been changed to Gongsun City by the God of War, in memory of General Gongsun."

After he finished speaking, he added: "The bodies of the soldiers of the Chu army were all buried in a park called the Martyrs' Park of the Chu Army. There is also a martyr's park for the bodies of the soldiers of Yu."

The old man nodded, "This is good, this is good."

Both of them filled out their resumes here, all for the purpose of becoming an official. The man greeted the old man a few times and said, "What official position does the old man plan to apply for?"

The old man said: "It's the county magistrate."

The man said in surprise, "County magistrate? This is difficult. The Yu people basically have their own people. You... the old man's Yu character is written well."

He saw the resume in the old man's hand.

The old man said, "I have been learning for many years, and I started learning the word Yu after I came out."

The man was surprised again.

"The old man actually learned from the beginning, is he prepared?"

The old man shook his head, "I just think that Yu's way of governing the country is suitable for the old man. I am willing to do what they come out with. Who can think of it to this day."

He went into the interview room with his resume, and when he came out, he was already smiling.

The person who had spoken to him before hurried up and asked, "How is it?"

The old man nodded, "The first meeting is over, go back and prepare for the second meeting tomorrow."

After all, the interviewer is the county magistrate, and there are many things to examine.

The man was about to say more, when he saw a little boy come out to read his name, and said, "It's your turn, hurry in, there are many people in line behind."

He hurriedly said goodbye to the old man and hurried in.

This kind of thing still happened in all the states of Chu State. It seems that everyone has no time to be sad for the loss of the country, because the policy is too fast, and if you go too slowly, you will be eliminated.

...

The imperial capital of Chu Kingdom has a long history.

A few decades ago, the Pre-Qin Dynasty was divided into seven kingdoms, the Yu State was the most remote, and the Chu State was the closest to Qin.

At the beginning, the emperor of Chu was the residence of a prince in the pre-Qin period. Later, when the emperor of Chu established the state of Chu, he expanded it again, and after each year, it has the current scale.

The state of Yu moved the imperial capital here, and the state of Yan was relieved, but the state of Qin was on pins and needles.

Their messengers had already started to go to the capital of Yu Kingdom with their letters. When they left Chu, Mo Qi also brought his affiliated officials to the imperial capital.

Here, it will be called Anju from now on.

After he came, everything here will start to be re-planned.

For example, the streets here are actually messy, and I don't know how the Chu Emperor changed it at the beginning. The roads are winding, and if you are not familiar with people here, you may be dizzy here.

Moreover, the space here is not used well at all, and many houses can be built in many places, but they have become stinky ditch.

It was okay to be the capital of the Chu kingdom before, but it was absolutely impossible to be the capital of the Yu kingdom.

There are too many people coming to Emperor Yu every day. Public carriages, ox carts, and private carriages of various families. If they came along this route, it would be a mess and the roads would be blocked.

And now, as a political center, many imperial institutions need to be added. In the past, when I was in Kyoto, because these institutions were added later, some of the courtyards were not settled. One day is gone, and now that you have a new imperial capital, you can plan well.

Mo Qi started working on the plan that night. Those who wanted to go to his house were blocked by him.

Coming to a new place, being the highest official, and having that kind of relationship with Her Royal Highness, Mo Qi was naturally like a piece of fat, something everyone wanted to take a bite of.

Some people are not afraid of death, even if they come with real money and are rejected, they have to try another way. You don't want silver, but you always want that woman, right?

As a result, before sending the woman out, he received a warning from his friend.

"Don't you ever hear about the merchants of the Yan Kingdom?"

"Merchant of Yan Kingdom?"

"At first glance, you haven't paid attention to the affairs of the State of Yu. Our Lord Mo Qi, and Lord Qin Kuan of the Propaganda Department were the companions of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess when they were young. I heard that their temperaments are similar, and they are both the same as the Emperor's. Her Royal Highness has that kind of relationship."

"Before, a businessman from the Yan Kingdom sent a woman to Lord Qin Kuan for the Six Nations Trade Organization. Guess what? They can't get along in the Yu Kingdom anymore."

The person who was about to send the woman to Mo Qi was startled and sweated: "Is it your Highness the Crown Princess?"

His friend sighed, "No, Lord Qin Kuan doesn't want to. You, take it easy, these Yu people have their faults, and they pay attention to many things. In some places, there is a strange phenomenon that women must learn and become financially independent. It's a trend that makes the house uneasy, hey, we all have to get used to it."

There's a lot to get used to, but there's more to dream about.

For example, after the Yu army came, they found that the floor heating, water canals, dams and other things were all things they had heard of but never owned before, and they all came to the imperial capital.

There are also several huge supermarkets under construction.

These are all things that need people to do, so a large number of people are called to do things, and they have money to do things, and some people's hearts are stabilized.

But there are still some people, such as those noble families who are unwilling to move out of Kyoto, are destined to be hanged.

In fact, Mo Qi didn't have time to argue with them, so he had to be cleaned up, and those who didn't leave would be killed.

Someone shouted: "The court said it loves the people, are we not the people?"

"Why do you want to expel us?"

"Didn't you say it will be a family in the future? Why did you drive us away from our own home:?"

"Yes, why?"

"Is it the intention of Her Royal Highness to expel us?"

Mo Qi: "..."

It's really bullying and hating young people.

Although he is young, he has enough experience, not to mention the example of Gu Xiqiao, he doesn't talk nonsense, as long as he says this, he will have someone write a notice on the city wall.

The notice said that so-and-so dared to despise the emperor's grace and questioned the government's decrees, so he was about to be thrown into a prison cell. Now, it's time to recruit workers, and it's time to recruit officials from the court. It is his relative, and in three years, there is no chance to be an official.

Then add another one the next day, relatives of this person, you also have no chance.

On the third day, even if someone dared to take to the streets to make trouble, they would be arrested by their relatives.

"Let's move, and now I've given a place outside the city. If I don't move, I'm afraid I won't even be given a place later."

So honestly, the entire city was half empty.

After Gu Xiqiao finished fighting General Chu, on the way back, he said in disgust, "You are not ruthless, how can you defend this city for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?"

His eldest brother was unhappy, "You should just peel off the skin, get cramps, and cramp a few times. Naturally, I think their bones will not fall off."

Mo Qi's face turned cold, "You have your way of being an official, and I also have mine. This is coming as an imperial capital in the future, and there should not be too many hidden dangers."

He said, "You better go back to Chaozhou, lest you go to work again."

Mo Qi left after speaking, not wanting to see Gu Xiqiao at all.

He always felt that this person was too evil.

...

At the end of August, the capital of Yu Kingdom.

At this time, the surrender of all the Chu kingdom's cities had not yet been heard, but he probably knew that it was coming to an end. After all, the battle reports were constantly coming.

At this time, the voice of moving the capital was very loud.

"It's too inconvenient. It takes so long to wait for news."

"Yeah... But when the capital was moved, it was the court officials who moved. Let's stay here."

"Well, I don't plan to leave either. How many years have we lived here? Hey, things are really impermanent."

"Yeah, who would have thought that in just a few years, our Yu Kingdom has done so many things."

At noon, under a shady tree, everyone gathered to talk.

Zhe Qing has learned to be smart this time, and took Zong Tong to sit under the big tree in the supermarket. There are so many people coming and going, and there are so many people who want to buy things, so no one notices them. .

Hearing that everyone was talking about moving the capital, she smiled, took out a piece of dried fruit to eat, and looked around while eating, when she saw a carriage carrying goods approaching.

She raised her eyes, but did not move, only curled her fingers, and Zongtong opened the umbrella.

He pressed somewhere on the handle of the umbrella, and countless poisonous needles shot out from the slits of the umbrella. The assassin who had not had time to slash at the person passed out, and the rest were hidden in the dark. The guards took it away quickly.

Zhe Qing sat on the spot and sighed while nibbling on the fruit, "It's getting more and more uncomfortable to play when I come out now. I only come out once a month, and I'm mad at me."

Zong Tong pursed his mouth, and the hidden guards pursed their lips.

Zhe Qing: "..."

She had to say, "But with you guys, I feel very safe."

It's just that more and more assassins can't help but come to assassinate her these days.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Qi Zhao coming. He ran out of breath and said, "Your Highness, are you not hurt? It's because your subordinates are incompetent and didn't take down the assassin."

Zhe Qing then stood up and said, "It's nothing, Zong Tong has already discovered them."

She looked at the things scattered on the ground and said, "Let's have someone send them to the supermarket. The things should still be good."

The people around were already shocked, and a group of people knelt on the ground and called out to Her Highness the Crown Princess Chitose. Zhe Qing felt that she was recognized like this, and she might have to change her outfit in the future.

At this moment, she saw someone looking at her in surprise. Zhe Qing also looked over and smiled.

He stepped forward and said, "It's you, you're not staying in the teahouse, why did you come here? How about it, is the news I gave you about the relocation of the capital accurate?"

The man kowtowed violently, "Accurate, accurate."

God, he even thought about selling news together with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

Really bold.
