All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao prepared the letter, handed the book to the empress dowager, and sent someone 700 miles to Beijing with an expedited delivery.

After that, he ordered someone to go to the magistrate's yamen to borrow Liancheng's map, prepared a sand table, and fiddled with the sand table according to the mountain topography on the map.

When Yin Huaixi entered the hospital, seeing her scrutinizing the map and fiddling with the sand table, she couldn't help but stop, but her eyes were filled with turbulent waves.

Even the generals who have experienced hundreds of battles in the army may not be proficient in the vision.

During a war, the master general who is proficient in maps will draw the landforms individually, then review them on the sand table, and explain to the generals who lead the troops. After the game and the explanation, you will naturally understand, and you will soon be able to set tactics through the landscape after the review.

He didn't teach Yu Youyao how to look.

Yu Youyao first came into contact with the map. When he went to Shandong to suppress the rebellion, he used the map of Shandong to play with the sand table in the house. It happened that Yu Youyao came to look for him. Seeing that he was serious, he didn't bother him, but just held his cheek and sat at the table to watch. on.

Yu Youyao fiddled with it for a while, looked up and saw Yin Huaixi standing not far away to look at her, and quickly said, "Brother Nineteen, come and help me see if the sand table is right."

After coming to the North, she didn't even know what to call Yin Huaixi.

Cousin can't be called, brother Jingzhi is too unruly, and King Wu Mu is too distant to call him by his first name.

In the name of the righteous daughter, she hangs on the jade plate of the imperial family. Yin Huaixi is the 19th in the generation of the imperial family.

Yin Huaixi readily agreed, took the map and looked at it for a moment: "It turned out to be the landform in the northern mountainous area of ​​Liancheng, which roughly matches the map."

Then, he helped make minor adjustments, and while adjusting, he explained to her, teaching her how to accurately calligraphy, sandbox and so on.

Since there is talent, no matter whether there is a chance to use it in the future, it is always necessary to teach it carefully.

When the landforms of the entire northern mountainous area were presented in front of Yu Youyao, Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "It's as if the entire northern mountainous area has shrunk down and is placed in front of me, all mountains and rivers are in my eyes."

Yin Huaixi asked her, "Why did you set up the sand table all of a sudden?"

While observing the terrain on the sand table, Yu Youyao said: "I want to see which places in the northern mountainous area are suitable for settlement and sericulture. People say that they will help people to the end and send Buddhas to the west. Since I have intervened in the affairs of refugees, always Just do it right."

Yin Huaixi was not surprised.

Yu Youyao focused on Fuzhen and Lianzhen recommended by his grandfather, and asked Yin Huaixi what he meant.

Yin Huaixi smiled: "A few days ago, I took someone who is proficient in soil and forests to visit the northern mountainous area. There are natural tussah forests in Lianzhen and Fuzhen, which have the advantage of raising tussah silkworms. It is also because of the small population that there is no The development of sericulture has not been controlled by the four masters, but it is suitable for refugees to settle down. After the matter is finalized, I will personally lead people to drive away wild animals in the mountains, plan silkworm breeding areas, and move the refugees there in batches.”

Since Yin Huaixi made arrangements earlier, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore, Yu Youyao is completely relieved: "I sent a letter to the Yu clan, the Yu clan values ​​fame and fortune, but it has inherited the pride of Duke Zhonglie in his bones, which is rare in the court. Those who are willing to stand up for the common people, on the premise of not harming their own interests, they will definitely take action."

Even someone like Yu Zongzheng, who is greedy for profit and has no shame, went to Zhejiang to provide disaster relief.

The clan that has been passed down for hundreds of years has not only inherited culture, but also a kind of spiritual will of the family.

The heart is changeable, the spirit is immortal.

Only three months after leaving the Yu Mansion, Yu Youyao has learned to handle the Yu clan and use it for her own use on the premise of not violating the interests of the other party. It can be seen that she has widened her vision and mind.

Yin Huaixi nodded: "Every move of the vassal king is subject to the imperial court. To deal with the gentry, you need to rely on the Yu clan behind you, and the huge channels of the Xie family."

This is a battle between gentlemen and gentlemen, and gentlemen and gentlemen.

Fortunately, both the Yu family and the Xie family have the ability to compete with the gentry.

Yu Youyao nodded: "Liaodong is a military town, and there are official roads leading directly to Jingzhao to ensure that the news between the two places is unimpeded, and the news can be sent to Beijing in three days at the earliest. Invite, come to the north to help promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes, and also mentioned some of the current situation in the north, but did not mention the matter in Quanzhou."

After the Xie Mansion escaped from Quanzhou, Quanzhou was on full alert. All merchants who passed by Quanzhou Wharf were not allowed to enter the city. Outside, only thieves were known to kill and set fire in the city, but they did not know the specific circumstances.

The matter in Quanzhou involved the vassal king who was going to rebel, and it was not something that she, a county lord, could be involved in.

Liang Zhoujun pretended to be a bandit, and she had no evidence.

Yin Huaixi's eyes suddenly deepened: "Sooner or later, King Liang will rebel, and no one can stop it."

Yu Youyao understands that rebellion will bring disaster to the whole family. King Liang is not a fool. He has kept a low profile for many years. It is impossible for King Liang to sit still, but Zuo but reversed ahead of time.

King and loser.

History is written by the victors.

——

In February, the earth dragon was still burning in the Shouyan Palace.

Aunt Shen wore a coat skirt with a collar of squirrel fur, holding a fold, lifted the curtain and entered the inner hall.

The sultry heat in the hall, mixed with the lingering smell of medicine, rushed into her nose, causing Aunt Shen to feel dizzy, and her head was blocked by something.

She frowned lightly: "The Empress Dowager is resting in the inner room, the windows in the inner hall should not be smashed to death, leave a small slit, or change the air, the earth dragon should not burn too vigorously, but it will be stuffy. If it gets cold in the room, you can add a charcoal cage and fill it with a few more mothers."

The maid who was in the inner hall hurriedly bowed to answer.

Aunt Shen was worried in her heart, and explained in a stern tone: "The queen mother is not in good health, you all serve carefully, and you must not be careless."

After knocking on the palace servant, Aunt Shen bypassed the door and entered the back room.

The Empress Dowager got up, wore a bright yellow lingerie, leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes.

Aunt Shen walked to the bed without saying a word. The Queen Mother took off her high phoenix crown and majesty, and after loosening her hair, the gray hair and white strands that were hidden in the bun before were revealed. a lot.

She felt a little bitter in her heart, bowed her body, and was about to call the queen mother.

Unexpectedly, the empress dowager's eyelids moved, she slowly opened her eyes, and said angrily: "You, why don't you make a sound when you walk."
