Alien Lord

In March of Yangchun, all things revived, and green once again enveloped the land of Chu State. The capital at this time was more lively than in the sluggish winter of the previous few months. Bayi?Chinese?Chinese ≥≠≤≥≥≤==

The streets are no longer deserted, but pedestrians are in a hurry, and the clothes on the pedestrians are starting to become thinner, and there is an obvious spring atmosphere.

Today is a sunny day, the weather is very good, and the flowers on the mountain are in full bloom. Therefore, at this time, some high-ranking officials and dignitaries always have to bring their families to the garden on the mountain to enjoy the beauty of spring.

The merchants also put in all their strength, each showing their talents, and tried their best to sell things...  

This year, in fact, the life of the entire Chu State is not easy. First, there was a major flood in Qingzhou, and the whole Qingzhou had no crops because of this. You must know that Qingzhou was one of the granaries of the Chu State before. Therefore, the entire grain price of the Chu State is inevitable. has risen.

Those people in Qingzhou who suffered from the great flood and had no food and clothing after waiting for a long time for the rescue from the imperial court brazenly killed officials and robbed food.

First in the townships and counties on a small scale, then directly to the cities, and finally, it was out of control, spreading to the state capital like a spark, and up to now, three whole states in the entire Chu State have been involved in this refugee Violence / chaos inside.

No, it is no longer a hooligan riot/chaos, but a real rebellion/rebellion!

Although the state of Chu immediately sent troops to suppress these rebels, the inaction of the previous two or three months gave these rebellious careerists enough time. For example, Lu Ping and Feng Ming, the leaders who first raised the flag to rebel, have now Gathered an army of more than two hundred thousand.

Maybe two months ago, the fighting power of these troops was not strong, but now after more than two months of fighting, the fighting power of these troops is already very impressive. Look at the loss of the 100,000 troops sent by Chu before. You can see it all.

It was not easy for Chu State to barely block Qingzhou’s rebellious army in Qingzhou. Immediately afterwards, all parts of Chu State encountered a cold spring, and the entire empire fell into a cold wave overnight. There was no harvest, and there was an endless stream of memorials asking for relief every day, which made the emperor of Chu state feel devastated and had a headache.

Now that they have finally survived this difficult and dangerous late spring, and everything has returned to the right track, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As ordinary people in Kyoto, they don't have much intuitive experience of the suffering in other parts of the empire. Anyway, they have never been short of food and clothing. Moreover, the price of food in Kyoto is higher than that in other places in Chu State.

The food price fluctuations this time are actually not that big here in Kyoto.

After all, this is the capital of the state of Chu, no matter how courageous those grain merchants are, they would not dare to mess around here in the capital.

The royal family on the mainland of China is not the royal family in ancient China. After leaving the imperial city, it is no longer their world, and their understanding of the outside world is extremely shallow.

On the mainland of China, martial arts are respected, and every royal family is extremely powerful, so many emperors will go out of the palace secretly, not only for private visits in micro-services, but also to come outside to breathe, so those ministers in the court want to fool the emperor ,Totally impossible.

As a matter of course, those businessmen in the capital, no matter how strong their backgrounds, would not dare to raise prices indiscriminately.

If you are unlucky and directly bump into the emperor who is visiting privately in Weibo, then the result..., hehe...

Therefore, the life of ordinary people in Kyoto is indeed much better than that of ordinary people in other parts of Chu State. For them, this year was actually pretty good. There was no decrease in income, and the court did not raise taxes. It was still very harmonious, and their lives were still as peaceful and stable as before.

Because life is better, the common people in Kyoto also have the leisure to care about some major events in Chu. Of course, the news they get usually comes from the imperial court's announcement and some incomplete gossip.

No, these days, there is a gossip circulating in Kyoto.

The waste son of Lord Lin Houye's mansion in Kyoto had wiped out 30,000 to 40,000 Sand Pirates. Now, the ordinary people in Kyoto have another good source of conversation.

(The rumors are getting more and more exaggerated. From Huangsha Town to Kyoto, only doubling the number is considered good.)

Compared with other ordinary people in Kyoto who are talking about Lin Ze's affairs indiscriminately, Zhengyang Street in Kyoto is extraordinarily calm, while other places are full of crowds. Although the streets here are wider, more luxurious and luxurious, but the people on the road There were not many pedestrians, even if there were pedestrians, they walked very quietly, not as noisy as other streets.

At the same time, there are almost no shops open here on this Zhengyang Avenue, and there are occasionally one or two Buzhuang restaurants, but when you look at the guards standing at the door, you can let the idlers wait and avoid them all.

Arriving here, it can be clearly seen that Zhengyang Street is not an ordinary street. The people who live here are actually officials, and they are not ordinary officials. Those who can live on Zhengyang Street are high-ranking officials. The ranks are all third-rank officials.

It can be said that stomping the owner of any mansion on this street is enough to make the officialdom of Chu State tremble a few times.

Lin Houye's mansion, the Hou Ye's mansion of Lord Lin Renquan, the then Lord Lord of the dynasty, is located in the depths of Zhengyang Street.

Here in Lin Houye's mansion, there are no splendid decorations on the golden walls, and there are no hideous guards in front of the door. Even the vermilion door looks a little old, and the copper ring on the door is also mottled. You know, it's been years.

On the copper nails on the gate, there are still some green rust residues, and the vermilion paint has faded in some places, but no one who passes by here will not underestimate the dilapidated gate with folding fans. Many people pass by here. He couldn't help lowering his footsteps, not for anything else, but because of the old man deep in the gate, but still a prestigious old man, Lord Lin Renquan!

Although it is already spring and winter has gone completely, Lin Renquan still feels a little cold in his body, as if winter has not gone away. It is even more frequent these days, so Lin Renquan directly asked people to stay in his The room was burnt by charcoal fire.

However, although the house was burning with high-quality incense charcoal and the whole house was warm, Lin Renquan was still wrapped in the expensive fox fur. Even so, Lin Renquan still felt a little cold during this period of time.

Lin Renquan has been like this since he learned about Lin Ze's situation from Hou Ye's Mansion.

"Hey, this man is getting old, and he really can't do it anymore. His body is getting worse every year!" Lin Renquan sighed, and took the hand stove handed over by the maid beside him, with a self-deprecating look on his face.

"Father, you should be strong and strong, and your bones are in good health!" Lin Yizhi sat sideways under Lin Renquan, leaned forward and said with a smile. He has now taken over the power of the Hou Ye Mansion, as long as it is not about the life and death of the Hou Ye Mansion, everything , He is the master.

"Yes, yes, Father, you don't look old now. You are definitely a dragon and horse spirit. I see that you are better than us!" Lin Yiming, who is the second young master of the Lin family, echoed his elder brother Lin Yizhi statement.

The words of the two brothers Lin Yizhi made Lin Renquan burst out laughing: "Hahaha...you two brothers just say things that please me, hahahaha...!"

Lin Renquan's laughter was full of joy. Indeed, there was nothing dissatisfied about Lin Renquan's two sons who were filial and extremely capable.

"That's all, let's see, Li Quan, Li Xian, Li Chen, and Li Bin are all grown up now, and they can all be on their own. How can I not be old? Hahaha..." Lin Renquan He smiled and pointed to the four youths standing behind them.

Lin Yizhi said with a smile: "Father, you are really not old. You are only sixty-eight years old now, and you are not even seventy years old. How old are you? What's more, our Lin family still relies on the power of the old man! Father, you can take care of your body at home with peace of mind, and the children will be responsible for other things. It’s not that children are talking nonsense. According to your old foundation, father, you will still be able to ride a horse and dance in another forty or fifty years. You get a knife, you get a drink!"

Lin Yizhi's remarks were not flattering to Lin Renquan. Lin Renquan is now a master of the eighth rank of Houtian. With his strength, as long as there are no other accidents, it is easy to live to be more than a hundred years old. At that time, if there is any life-extending elixir, it is actually possible to live a hundred and forty or fifty years older.

Lin Renquan nodded with a smile on his face, but soon, Lin Renquan said with some sadness on his face: "That is to say, I also know your filial piety, but it is always good to plan ahead. My current body is not good enough. Question, but, what to say about the future. The emperor has issued an order before, and you are likely to go to Qingzhou to suppress the rebellion next month. Started to attack aggressively again, and now they have invaded the sandbar, and the army strength has directly reached more than 300,000, which cannot be underestimated any longer."

Lin Renquan's face was very serious, but the second young master on the side, that is, Lin Yiming, said with a nonchalant expression on his face: "Don't worry, Father, Lu Ping and Feng Ming are clowns who are jumping on the bridge. .”

Lin Yiming's face was full of confidence. In his mind, the army composed of some refugees would not have much fighting power at all. As long as he went, he would definitely be able to wipe out these rebels.

As for failure, hehe, to be honest, Lin Yiming didn't have these two words in his mind at all, even if he did, these two words belonged to those rebels! (To be continued.)
