After Dressing Up As a Princess, Engaged In Infrastructure Construction

The age of voyage ships has come.

In the eyes of the people of Lu, the life and death of Emperor Lu had nothing to do with them. Emperor Lu is dead, can he make money for businessmen? Can you give the people food?

They only care about whether they can get on a voyage ship, so that they can make more money from the things they sell and make the things they buy cheaper.

Only politicians care about whether the death of Emperor Lu can bring benefits to his family. They figured out how to get benefits from Emperor Lu, so before the person died, they wrote a lot of excerpts, hoping that Emperor Lu could give his family a life-saving iron hat before he died.

The iron hat of the State of Lu is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death. Wearing an iron hat is a traitor and cannot be beheaded immediately. Kou Dan was about to laugh in anger, he threw all the books out, stood up and walked around in the hall, stomping his feet for a while and then stomping hard - Kou Qi was worried that his sister's feet would hurt.

He coughed and said, "A-Dan, don't be angry, the family has always been like this, what is heartfelt and sincere, in their opinion, we should be grateful to the royal family if we can not rebel."

Kodan then sneered: "These people are absolutely hateful. Brother, I can't bear it any longer. Sooner or later, I will kill them like the princess of Yu Kingdom."

Kou Qi smiled and said, "Killing like the princess of the Yu Kingdom is a pleasure, every royal family would like it, but she is the only one in the world who dares to do it. Only if she does it, there will be no backlash. As long as the other six countries do this, There must be a war right away."

Kodan said in confusion: "Brother, you said that we have been doing things according to what Yu Guo has learned for so many years, why is it getting worse and worse? Isn't it just doing real things? Obviously what we do is the same, why is the emperor of Yu country? Can the concubine succeed in that leap?"

Kou Qi thought of this and sighed in his heart. He remembered an allusion in a story he had seen recently.

"Dong Shi Xiao frown." He murmured: "We and the Yu Kingdom are the rumored Dong Shi Xie frown. How can a country that was already devastated directly follow their practices and not explore their own path?"

He said, "Adan, you went to school in the state of Yu, have you forgotten that every book about state governance in the state of Yu has to say: Is it based on the basic national conditions?"

Kodan sighed: "Brother, what are the basic national conditions of our country of Lu?"

Kou Qi shook his head: "A-Dan, brother, time is short, I'm afraid that day will not be seen. If you find the basic national conditions belonging to the state of Lu, you will burn incense and tell me when you worship at Qingming."

Tears came out of Kodan, "Brother, is there really no possibility of surviving?"

Kou Qi nodded, "Yeah, I can't live anymore. This Lu Kingdom will be handed over to you, and I hope you will find it later."

He thought about it for a while, and felt that since he had said it here, it would be better to make it clear.

"After brother left, you are the only support for the country of Lu. Concubine and Zhi'er will depend on you. For them, you have to sit firmly in this position. If you succeed, Zhi'er will grow up. , you can replace it."

"He may not become a talent in the future. The throne of Lu Kingdom needs someone who can hold him down. Brother, I hope you are that person."

This is what I said from the bottom of my heart. Kodan is grateful, it is not easy for the emperor to say such words.

In Lu country, no one supports her except the emperor's brother, but if she has the words of the emperor's brother, it is worth dying.

She felt that her worth was affirmed.

Koodan nodded, "Brother, don't worry, the state of Lu is here, I'm here, the state of Lu is gone, I'm going to die."

Kou Qi suddenly remembered a sentence: The courtier guards the country, and the emperor dies.

Now, I don't know if the courtiers guard the country, but the emperor will definitely die.

The courtiers can vote for other masters, but the emperor always has only life and death.

Kou Qi didn't dissuade his sister when she said she would die, but in his heart, he still hoped that even if Lu Guo lost his sister, he would still be able to live.

It's just this sentence, he didn't say it. He knew that speaking out would be a disgrace to his sister. So at the end of October, the last thing he did after his death was to meet his mother-in-law in private and give her a letter.

There is only one sentence in the letter: Live, Brother A wants you to live.

Emperor Lu died, and the crown prince of the country of Lu, who had just turned three years old, succeeded to the throne, and the political affairs were temporarily in charge of Princess Kodan, and the rest were ministers left by the previous emperor.

It was only from the burial of Emperor Lu that Princess Kodan began to wear only men's clothes, no longer women's clothes.

It's just that even if she wears men's clothes, it can't change the essence of her being a woman, so the courtiers jointly filed a petition to request the abolition of Princess Kodan's rights, and the chaos of the court began.

But at this time, Kodan suddenly married Wang Shuo, the youngest son of Wang Ju, one of the regent courtiers, and married as a princess, but he lived in the palace, and together with his concubine, he stayed in the palace. "Usuring the throne", saying that Kodan "doesn't know the integrity of the royal family", quickly formed an army on the side of the Qing emperor and began to attack the imperial capital of the state of Lu.

In October of the same year, Northern Jin and Southern Jin also began to form an allied army to attack Jinzhou, which was occupied by Qi State. Under the raging war, the people were miserable. In the cold winter, the roads were frozen to death, and people were so hungry that they could eat each other.

The refugees from the state of Lu were okay, because they were close to the state of Yu, so they began to flow to the state of Yu in groups, but at this time it was not as easy as before, not only because the army of the state of Lu blocked the border, but also because Among the displaced people, there was a smallpox epidemic, so Yu Kingdom temporarily sealed the border of Chaozhou.

"Old man, where are you going?" Gongsun Yao led a group of soldiers to patrol the border of Chu State. When he saw an old man with his grandson running all the way, he couldn't help but stop to ask.

Seeing that the old man was a soldier and dressed well, he should be regarded as a general. After thinking about it, he stopped and said, "If you go back to the general, the little old man will take his grandson and prepare to inoculate the cowpox."

Gongsun Yao also paid attention to the affairs of the State of Lu during this period of time--just kidding, the Emperor of Chu sent him to the border just so that he could take down the State of Lu at any time.

Therefore, it is natural to know that there is a smallpox infection in Lu.

The reason why they are still here temporarily not to attack and watch is also because of the seriousness of the smallpox epidemic.

Every ten years, smallpox will appear once, and once it appears, it is a dead city. There is no cure at all.

"At the beginning of the year of the Kingdom of Yu, everyone was asked to grow cowpox on their bodies. After hearing about cowpox, they can... prevent, yes, prevent smallpox. Even if you are with a smallpox patient, you can protect yourself."

The old man sighed and said, "There were still a lot of people in the border cities of the Chaozhou border of the state of Yu. At that time, there were still many people who trusted the imperial concubine of the state of Yu and vaccinated against the cowpox regardless of other people's dissuasion. Those who didn't get vaccinated even ridiculed those who were vaccinated, saying: They were sick, and now, hey, everyone regrets not being vaccinated."

"But now it's too late. Smallpox in the Lu country is threatening, and our Chu country is next to them, so we are naturally afraid. And once inoculation, you can save your life for a lifetime. This kind of good thing, the little old man feels that he can't miss it, so I listened to it. It is said that Chu merchants came to the city and learned to inoculate cowpox, so I went with my family wealth."

After he finished speaking, he felt that he had already said everything he had to say, and said, "General, if this is true, our soldiers of the state of Chu... also need to be planted with cowpox."

Gongsun Yao glanced at him, riding on a horse with a whip in his hand, many thoughts flashed in his mind, and asked the old man, "I heard you speak, and I have read books, but are they from a scholarly family?"

The old man smiled and said, "I used to be a county magistrate. Later, I fell ill, so I resigned and went home to farm."

Gongsun Yao: "When did you resign?"

The old man: "It's still the time of the former Chu."

I see. Gongsun Yao bowed his hands to him, "Although he resigned, he still cares about the country and the people. He is a sage. Gongsun Yao thanked him here."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "General praised it."

Gongsun Yao: "...Now that the new emperor is wise and wise, and he is benevolent, the old gentleman is looking healthy. Why don't you go back and continue to be an official?"

The old man smiled and said, "I still have stubborn illnesses. The little old man doesn't dare to be an official, because he is afraid that he will not be able to be loyal to the court."

Gongsun Yao looked at him, did not embarrass him in the end, let him go.

Then go back immediately to conspire with the general about the cultivation of cowpox in the army.

He really hadn't thought about inoculating the army with cowpox before. It was an unknown thing, and it came from the Kingdom of Yu, so it was natural to be a little worried.

He originally thought of waiting to see how the smallpox epidemic after the State of Lu would make a decision, but now that some people in the city of Chu State have started to inoculate with cowpox, it is easy to handle.

He found a few people and said, "Bring a few people who have been vaccinated with cowpox and try it in the city where there is smallpox in Lu."

The subordinates left in response, Gongsun Yao looked at the distant state of Lu with worried eyes.

The Emperor Chu wanted to take advantage of this to attack the State of Lu, but everyone knew that the State of Yu next door was bound to win against the State of Lu. Now they are all waiting for Lu's domestic battle to be damaged, and then take the opportunity to capture it in one fell swoop.

But this piece of Lu State's fat meat, which has been eaten by Yu State, will Yu State really miss it, so that Chu State can get it?

…

"Naturally, the Yu Kingdom can get it." The old man who just left took his grandson and explained current affairs to him as he walked, "The people of the Lu Kingdom... just like the Shuangcheng, these years, they have been subtly influenced by the Yu Kingdom, they know Yu Guohui will bring them a better life, just like Chaozhou."

"There is even a nursery rhyme in the state of Lu: the state of Lu is also destroyed, the state of Yu is also expected, the state of Lu is destroyed, and the state of Lu is revived."

"The meaning of this is that they hope that the State of Lu will be defeated by the State of Yu immediately and prosper in the hands of the State of Yu."

His grandson thought for a while and said, "Grandfather, grandson doesn't understand why the Lu people are looking forward to the subjugation of the country."

The old man sighed, "Because they were not doing well, because they saw that the people from Chaozhou, who should have suffered as hard as them, were doing well."

Compared with the people of Chu State, the people of Lu State have suffered the most in the past two years. The war has never stopped. Perhaps for them, when the imperial army of Yu State arrives, it will be the end of their suffering.

Once a person has this belief, it is difficult to remove it. The court of Lu State has not yet died, but in the hearts of the people of Lu State, they have already died.

"And Yu also regards the people of Lu as his own people." The old man sighed again, "This is the most terrifying thing."

This time, the smallpox in the state of Lu, outside the city of Chaozhou, although the court of the state of Lu did not allow Lu people to go to the state of Yu, once this large number of refugees went to the state of Yu, the state of Lu would almost be an empty state.

But there are policies above, and there are countermeasures below. Now, let alone they do not allow the refugee army to pass, even if they allow it, the refugees have no way to enter.

For the first time, the Yu Kingdom blocked the border. However, blocking the border is not a dead end for the people of the Yu Kingdom. Countless Yu doctors began to gather on the border of Chaozhou. With Shuangcheng and Licheng as the boundary, they began to set up isolation places.

Anyone who got smallpox lived in a house separated by wooden boards. There will be people who will give you medicine to drink, because smallpox is a disease that no medicine can cure, and it all depends on self-healing, so whether you can survive or not depends on your life.

However, because of the care of Yu doctors, the people of Lu have a good chance of recovering. When people die, they have to be carried out to be cremated.

People were carried out and people came back to life. From October to November, I don't know how many people died in the state of Lu, but everyone knows that many people survived.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

As for those who did not have smallpox at that time, they would get the opportunity to be vaccinated for free.

And because the people of Lu are not from the Kingdom of Yu after all, so the Kingdom of Yu will order people to preach a sentence in the city every day: The princess remembers that the people of Lu have many relatives and friends in Yu, and the people of Lu are kind to Yu and people, so she is willing to use the power of the whole country to help them. The Lu people weathered the storm.

Wherever I go now, I can hear Lu Rendao saying the great kindness and great virtue of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

The old man thought of the words he had heard, and his heart sank, "I saw a sentence in the book of the Kingdom of Yu, which is that the one who has the Tao will help more, and the one who has lost the Tao will have little help. The emperor of Yu is the one who has won the Tao."

Getting it in this way is terrifying. How could a monarch feel pity for the people of other countries, at best he had a good heart and sighed for it, but Yu Guo still spent so much national and material resources for what?

It's because she thinks that sooner or later this will be her people.

…

"This day's flower is raging, but it has cost me a lot of money." Sun Xiang was a little dissatisfied, and said, "Your Highness, when will you attack Lu?"

Zhe Qing quickly took the vegetables, put them in his mouth, chewed and swallowed quickly, and said, "Come on, in October, I thought it would be before June next year, but now that I think about it, after this smallpox, the country of Lu... ah no. , Luzhou has to hurriedly elect some representatives to come to Kyoto for a meeting."

Sun Xiang was satisfied, and said with a resentment: "His Royal Highness, hurry up and fight, I am very stingy and stingy. I use money for the people of the Yu Kingdom, but I don't feel bad, I use it for the people of Lu? Gu Xi? When I received the letter from Qiao, I saw the advance, and my heart ached to death."

Then he poured water for Zhe Qing, "Your Highness, eat slowly, don't worry, there will be three or four people in line in the afternoon, let them wait a little longer."

Zhe Qing shook his head, "I will meet them later, and I will go out to see Shen Li."

Sun Xiang didn't complain anymore. After all, Her Royal Highness was too busy, and she felt distressed when she was tired, so she held up the account book and said, "His Royal Highness, eat slowly, I'll go first."

Zhe Qing nodded, "Let's go, let's make more money this year - I'm afraid there will be a severe drought next year."

Sun Xiang frowned, "Yeah, something's not right this year. It's November and it hasn't snowed yet... It's really not right."

Zhe Qing said: "Our grain storage is still enough for a year of disaster."

She quickly swallowed a few mouthfuls of food and said, "I'm so **** off, the people from the State of Lu—I have already written to Shen Liu, let's make a quick decision, grab the food from the State of Lu, and don't be wasted. "

Su Xiang smiled, "Very good, Your Highness, then when I'm doing the year-end this year, I'll plan the future of Lu Country... Abu, Lu Zhou?"

Zhe Qing nodded, "By the way, when necessary, bring A Guyan with her, it's time for her to play a role."

Sun Xiang walked away, leaving Zhe Qing alone to cook quickly.

She is 20 years old this year. Maybe because of long years of fatigue, she is not as tall as in her previous life. She only looks like 1.65 meters. Even if she didn't eat any nutritious meals in her last life, she was 1.78 meters tall.

Of course, it is also possible that the genes that Emperor Yu left her were not very good. But her appetite is getting bigger and bigger, it's amazing.

But this is considered to be following Emperor Yu. He can cook five or six bowls of rice when he is angry, so even if he eats a lot, everyone doesn't think much about it. On the other hand, Zhe Qing felt that eating affected his work too much.

Time is life, and cooking is a waste of life.

She sighed and approved the letter on the city that opened the HNA Wharf. After that, she hurriedly asked the palace maid to hold the remaining documents that she had not read, and ran after her.

And she walked fast with her long legs. Walking near the Miracle Palace, the ministers who were cooking in the palace got up and gave way. The old man who was first in the afternoon quickly handed his card to the little eunuch, and then he didn't realize that he was still holding a lunch box. brought in together.

"Ouyang Xu, the minister of the Ministry of Works, pays respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Zhe Qing nodded and said, "Have you finished eating yet?"

Ouyang Xu wiped his mouth embarrassedly and said, "I made your Highness laugh, I had finished eating it, but the eggplant pot for lunch today was really delicious, so after I finished eating, I went to put another bowl of rice. "

Zhe Qing said with a smile: "Then take some back... I see that you want to leave Beijing and go to work in Chaozhou?"

Ouyang Xu nodded and said, "This minister is a craftsman—His Royal Highness, this minister likes to make wooden wedges, that's why he thought of entering the Ministry of Works, entered the Ministry of Engineering, and was reused by His Highness, and asked the minister to lead the descendants to build it. A lot of houses, but these are no longer satisfied with the ministers."

"The chance in Beijing is almost gone, and the minister didn't think much about it, but a few days ago, I saw a sentence: "Lian Po is old, but he can still eat or not. After reading this sentence, the minister thought of himself. Although the minister is old, , but can eat and sleep, Your Highness, although this minister is not as good as Lian Po in the book, but the minister also wants to make more contributions to Yu Kingdom in his lifetime."

Zhe Qing just laughed, but now she's really good at contributing to the Yu Kingdom, but if she was so easy to believe, she would have been a princess for so many years in vain.

She knew what Ouyang Xu meant. She felt that the state of Lu was about to be destroyed. After arriving in Chaozhou, she would stay temporarily. As long as Lu was destroyed, then Lu would be a piece of fresh fat. When they get there, they can also do something new.

Before she came, she had already made up her mind. She stamped a letter on the book, handed it to Ouyang Xu, and said, "I hope you can return with honor."

Ouyang Xu smiled at the folds at the corners of his eyes, and agreed, "Your Highness, don't worry, this minister is no worse than Huang Shangshu."

Huang Shangshu is also good luck. He got a good book in the Wanmin Library, and then entered the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, but Ouyang Xu was not bad, but he was always one step behind Huang Shangshu. This time he didn't want to wait. , Seeing that Lu Guo had a good opportunity, he meant to go wherever he said.

As soon as he came out, he called the people behind him and started cooking.

The eggplant pot is delicious!

Huang Shangshu just happened to come over to discuss with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess about the need for the Ministry of Industry to repair the houses of the common people this year. Seeing him eating like this, he asked curiously, "Is there something good?"

At this time, Ouyang Xu could also be arrogant when he read Huang Shangshu, and said with a smile, "Ouyang is old, and he can still eat."

Then cover the lunch box, clip the lunch box and leave.

…

"It's called a lunch box." At the border of Chaozhou, a Lu soldier held a lunch box and said to another: "It's like a bowl, but this is better, the lid of the bowl is not well covered, the lunch box has a lid, so it is buckled, That's it."

"There is also a partition. Look, this is for rice, and this is for vegetables. My lunch box is big, and there are three places for vegetables."

Another soldier said, "Is this made of wood? What kind of wood is it?"

The soldier with the lunch box said, "I heard that there are persimmon trees, fir trees, and many kinds of wood."

Good stuff anyway.

"The Yu people have a lot of good things." Another soldier smiled, "Hey, you said, we are the closest to the Yu country. If the Yu people call, is it the first city, and it will be our turn?"

The soldier next to him quickly covered his mouth, "Are you crazy? Can this be said?"

"Is there anything I can't say? Haven't you heard of it yet? There's chaos in Wangcheng. Hey, those officials are fighting back and forth. Who wants to live our lives? We are guarding here at the Chaozhou border. Well, when the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom next door are having lunch, they can go over there and have a meal."

"—You really went to eat!!" The little soldier looked around the lunch box and said, "How did you get there?"

"You forgot, my cousin is from Licheng. After Licheng returned to Yu Kingdom, he went to the medical school opened in Licheng by Yu Kingdom to study medicine. Now he is working on the border."

"This time our country of Lu suffered, and many doctors from Yu came. My cousin said that every time I was moved, I would cry. What difference could there be between the kingdom of Yu and the kingdom of Lu? Wouldn't it be fun to be a member of the kingdom of Yu together? "

"Anyway, because my cousin was there, I changed into my regular clothes at noon and passed by, and no one checked me."

The little soldier just took a lunch box, hesitating, hesitating, he bought this lunch box with Yu Ren and he naturally knew how delicious Yu Ren's meal was.

He hasn't had a full meal for a long time. But in Yu country, you can eat rice.

He couldn't help licking his lips and said: "Actually, as long as you can eat enough, you can eat no rice, their sweet potatoes are also delicious, you don't know, I secretly tasted it the other day - it's delicious, One bite of sweet potato, another bite of their red chili peppers, and a double red stomach, even if you are a goddess, you won't change it."

"That's why I said, how good is it for the Kingdom of Yu to fight, the day before we fight, we'll have enough food earlier." He sighed deeply, "To be honest, if I were a general, I would bring troops to fight Yu. The country is over! Can it be the same as being the general of the Yu country and being the general of the Yu country?"

The little soldier rubbed and rubbed the lunch box with his fingers, obviously entangled in his heart.

The soldier next to him said, "Hey - have you ever eaten their new instant noodles? That's really delicious."

The little soldier swallowed and lowered his head.

He hasn't eaten it, but he has seen people eat it and smelled the aroma of that side.

I heard that it was the most common meal for the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom. They also had a kind of meal called "Soldiers' Nutritious Meal". According to the different types of arms, different dishes were specially prepared.

It is rumored that there are new soldiers in Xuzhou, and the food is even better - there is seafood to eat every day!

The little soldier sighed and said, "It would be great if the general took us to the Yu Kingdom."

Then he said to the soldier beside him: "Hey - at noon tomorrow, can I change clothes with you and go to dinner?"

"No problem... Hey, I also hope that the general will take us to the Yu Kingdom, and now it's not good to go secretly."

At this time, their general Zhao Shide surreptitiously held a set of generals' armor and Yu knife sent by Yu Guo, and frowned.

Armor and sword, or loyalty, that is the question.
