In the Northeast, it took Yang Xixuan less than two months to retake the lost Northeast states. If he hadn't appeased the people while fighting, the time to retake the Northeast states would have been advanced.

However, Yang Xixuan has no intention of stopping, and the current truce is just to wait for food.

The border city has long been dilapidated, and the tribes in the northeast have never cared for the city. Several parts of the city wall have collapsed, and it takes a lot of manpower to repair the city wall.

However, what Yang Xixuan lacks most is manpower. The development of the Northeast has been slow, and it has been almost destroyed in recent years. It can be said that everything has to start from scratch.

Standing on the dilapidated city wall, Yang Xixuan watched the captives working, and his teeth itch with hatred, "There is still too little labor!"

Some regret that they killed too much. Hey, the roads in the northeast need to be rebuilt, and the city also needs to be repaired. It can be said that labor is needed everywhere.

Xiao Ma asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to go back to your ancestral home?"

Yang Xixuan folded his hands behind his back, "It's too labor-intensive for me to go back to my ancestral home to pay homage to my parents. It's not suitable for making big moves recently. You can go back to pay homage to your parents."

Xiao Ma, "I must guard the emperor."

I have been waiting for so many years, and it is not a month or two away.

Yang Xixuan looked at the place of his ancestral home. This time he went north without bringing his uncle's family with him. As for the Lu family, the Lu family was sent to Jiaozhou, and Yang Jin's grandfather wanted to bear it all. Unfortunately, Yang Jin's grandfather alone was not enough.

He interrogated the Lu family members one by one, and only then did he know that during his sister's life in Lu's mansion, as long as she stretched out her hand to her, there would be no good results.

Yang Jin's grandfather, the leader of the Lu family, was also really ruthless. Before he could do anything, everyone in the Lu family committed suicide except for the ignorant young boy and Lu San who survived.

It wasn't that the head of the Lu family wanted to keep Lu San, but because Lu San was detained alone, Yang Xixuan didn't give Lu San a chance to commit suicide.

The Lu family's move was not only because of Yang Xixuan's sister, but also because the Lu family had defected to Hu Lechina. Because they betrayed the nation, the Lu family could not be tolerated in the eyes of the world.

Now the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Lu family have not been found. Only when the Lu family is dead can the eldest son of the Lu family survive with another Lu family.

Yang Xixuan recalled a lot, the thunder rumbled in the sky, and the dark clouds in the distance were moving, and he came back to his senses, "It's going to rain."

"Your Majesty, this rain is not small at first glance, Your Majesty, don't get caught in the cold."

Yang Xixuan saw that the clouds were moving very fast, and he didn't want to be a drowned chicken, so he led people down the city wall and returned to his residence.

In the capital, Zhou Yu was drinking tea with Mr. Qian's family. In front of them, a carpenter was making tables, chairs and benches while they were banging.

Zhou Yu, "I thought you would go back south and back again."

Qian Zhu sipped the tea, "The Nanjiang River is not very safe now. The Qian family stacked the goods at the Jeju port, which also saved me from going back to the south."

Now the most well-informed are merchants, Zhou Yu asked, "How is the situation in the northern states?"

Qian Zhu returned to Jeju and chatted with many colleagues about the situation in the northern states. He shook his head, "The states haven't changed much. To tell you the truth, merchants will go to some remote places because of the policies given by the imperial court. Willing to run around, hey, the north is too desolate."

The tea in Zhou Yu's mouth became more and more bitter, "I heard that some fleeing people have returned."

Qian Zhu nodded, "Because I believe in the emperor, there are indeed many people who applied to return to the north."

"A lot of people fled to the south back then, and I don't know how many people are willing to come back."

Many people who fled from the north settled in Shanghe Town. They have integrated into Shanghe Town. On one side is the prosperous south and on the other is the desolate north. In sharp contrast, how many people will come back in the end?
Qian Zhu stroked his beard, "Speaking of which, Nanzhou has taken in many fleeing refugees. If these refugees return home, the north will be quite lively."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, "Are you asking when the emperor will take back Nanzhou?"

Qian Zhu was not ashamed when his thoughts were exposed, "Nanzhou is located beside the Nanjiang River, which greatly affects the trade between the north and the south."

Zhou Yu raised his teacup, "We still have to wait."

Now some people in Nanzhou have secretly surrendered to General Liu, and General Liu supports those who surrender to fight for power in Nanzhou. Nanzhou will not last long.

Zhou Yu looked up at the sky. These days, many people who escaped came back, and the speed of cleaning up the capital was much faster. When Xixuan and Ziheng came back, he estimated that half of the capital could be cleaned up.

Now there are a lot of cleared blue bricks piled up outside the city. After the capital is measured, the drawings can be redesigned, and the people in the capital can live in new houses before winter.

Rebuilding the capital city is a huge project, and it will take a few years to complete it. Fortunately, the population of the capital city is decreasing sharply. As long as the people are resettled, it can be built slowly.

Zhou Yu was a little worried about his son. Every time his son wrote home, he only reported that he was safe. The situation in the capital was extremely bad, not to mention the northeast that had been occupied for a long time.

Ziheng is indeed a bit overwhelmed. The number of scholars in the north is not as good as that in the south. Those who can study are those with savings. They are the first batch to escape from the Northeast.

This also made it difficult for Ziheng to select enough people to help, so he had to choose the shopkeeper who hadn't escaped to help him.

Ziheng was so tired that he couldn't eat well, "I think the officials from the household department, when will they arrive?"

Guard Jiao's expression was numb. They were obviously guards. These days they were doing civil servants' work. Guard Jiao poured a bowl of soup, "I guess the day is coming soon."

Just as Zi Heng was about to reply, the female officer walked in with a bad face, "My lord, someone wants to take the victimized woman back to marry him."

Ziheng's mind was filled with question marks, "What's going on?"

Except for someone who picked up the girl back home at the very beginning, no one picked up the girl back home these days. Why did they suddenly take the girl back to marry?
The female officer gritted her teeth, "Many families want to continue their heirs. They don't marry regular wives but take concubines. Taking a young woman can not only give birth to a baby, but also be a strong labor force."

Ziheng's face darkened, "Oh, this is the second time to sell our daughters, and drive them all away."

The female officer gritted her teeth, "They said they would take their daughter back, why should they stop her?"

"Are there many people here?"

As a woman, the female official is very aware of the situation of women at home. The status of women in the south has been improved, while the status of women in the north is still the lowest. They are controlled by their parents and brothers, and they are sold for a good price like goods.

The female officer sniffed, "A lot."

Life is hard now, no one has taken these women's minds before, but now there are more people who are interested.

They didn't think they were selling their daughter for money, and they plausibly found a home for their daughter.

Ziheng had a terrible headache, it was a wave of ups and downs, and there are people in this world, those who have a conscience will take the victim home to take care of them, and those who feel guilty will not disturb the future life of the woman, and naturally there are also selfish ones Parents, in their eyes, their daughters must contribute to the family.

What's worse, the thoughts of these victimized women!
