farm concubine

Chapter 234
Three months after the news of Ouyang Yuanhao's family of four being killed by pirates spread, the shops and farms under Ouyang Yuanhao's name closed down one after another. The commercial taxes of other prefectures involved in Hao Industry have also been reduced by [-]%.

Looking at the memorial that the tax was reduced by [-]% compared with the previous year, Emperor Renxiao was furious: "It's all rubbish. Why has the tax been reduced so much in the past few months?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. King Jing's business occupies more than half of the Jokhang Kingdom. In addition, in the past few years, King Jing's business has grown bigger and bigger, involving more industries. Now that King Jing's family has been killed by pirates, his business has no leader in Kowloon. Then they went bankrupt one after another." Hubu Shangshu said tremblingly.

"Absurd, do you mean that without Prince Jing, the Jokhang Kingdom will fall?" Emperor Renxiao shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty calm down, I don't mean that." Hubu Shangshu hurriedly knelt down. What Emperor Renxiao said was not entirely correct, but it was not far away. Without King Jing, although the Dazhao Kingdom would not decline, it would be hit to a certain extent, and it would take a certain amount of time. time to recover.

But seeing Emperor Renxiao so furious, Hubu Shangshu wisely chose to remain silent.

No one took over Ouyang Yuanhao's farm, and the shop was vacant, so Emperor Ren Xiao ordered Mr. Hu to send someone to take it over, and sold all of Ouyang Yuanhao's shops and farm.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but when the ownership was transferred, it was discovered that both the farm and the shop had been sold to a man named Ye Wen, but no matter how Emperor Renxiao investigated, he could not find out the whereabouts of Ye Wen. where.

I asked the yamen servant in charge of the transfer and said that a man in his 30s with a scar on his face had come to the house.

After continuous investigation for three months, Emperor Renxiao did not find any clues. In the past three months, not only did the tax revenue continue to decline, but he also received a memorial from the county magistrate of Lianyun County, saying that in the past three months, Lianyun County often went to sea to fight. The fisherman never came back after going out to sea. In just three months, nearly half of the fishermen in Lianyun County have disappeared.

The continuous disappearance of fishermen has caused panic in the entire Guizhou Prefecture, and they all speculate whether the pirates who killed King Jing's family did it.

"Is Yang Wei doing anything? There are so many fishermen who have disappeared and he has not been seen. I have raised him for so many years for nothing." Emperor Renxiao threw out the memorial of the county magistrate of Lianyun County.

Only Emperor Renxiao and his personal eunuch were in the imperial study room. Seeing that Emperor Renxiao was so angry, the personal eunuch carefully picked up the memorial and put it away, then silently returned it to its original position.

"Let the father-in-law enter the palace." Emperor Renxiao said in a deep voice after kneading his brows.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After the personal eunuch bowed and agreed, he stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Xuan——His Excellency enters the palace—"

At the same time as the personal eunuch's voice fell, the voice of Mr. Xuan Guozhang entering the palace sounded outside the imperial study room one after another, all the way to the outside of the palace gate.

In the Imperial Study Room of the Jokhang Kingdom Palace, the emperor and the head of state discussed how to increase taxation.

On an unknown island overseas, Ouyang Yuanhao's family and the people of Lianyun County they brought with them are happily moving into their new home.

In order to celebrate the completion of the new residence, Ouyang Yuanhao held a banquet for all the people on the island. At the banquet, Ouyang Yuanhao held a wine bowl filled with wine and said loudly: "Thank you folks for trusting me. I will fail everyone’s trust, and I will work hard to let everyone have a good life.”

A rather dignified person among the people said: "If it weren't for Prince Jing, we would have starved to death long ago, let alone Prince Jing leading us to live a good life, even if we were to go through fire and water. "

"Thank you folks for your trust. In the past six months, the king and the general managers have inspected this small island. There are many seafood in the sea that are not available in Lianyun County. There is also a kind of rubber that grows on this small island. Tree, the bark of this kind of tree is cut off to become rubber, and rubber can make many things that are not available in the country of Jokhang. Then we will transport the things we make back to the country of Jokhang to exchange for silver and what we need Things, not only in the Jokha Kingdom, but also in other countries, as long as they need them, we will sell them."

"Follow the lord to the death, follow the lord to the death." The crowd did not know who started it, and as soon as they shouted, there were the second, third, and fourth. .People followed suit.

Seeing that her son was so popular, even though he was not in that supreme position, Concubine Zhu was also a concubine respected and raised by everyone, which satisfied her vanity, and she was very happy for Ouyang Yuanhao.

Needless to say, the three members of Li Rulin's family were more happy than anyone else to see Ouyang Yuanhao get out of the predicament.

Li Wanqing held her son in her arms, and her four-year-old daughter stood beside her. Seeing her husband being admired by everyone, Li Wanqing was very proud of him.

After the banquet, everyone went back to their own homes, looking at the new home with blue bricks and black tiles, and it was a small courtyard specially built according to the population of each family. Everyone was very happy, and felt that the suffering when they first arrived at Xiaoniao was worth it Yes, although the conditions here are difficult, Ouyang Yuanhao treats them very well.

They lived in a thatched house in Lianyun County, but now they can live in a big tile house and eat meat, which they could not imagine before.

The most rare thing is that Prince Jing asked them to bring their families with them, even their parents.

Some family members have not yet come, but Ouyang Yuanhao has already spoken, he will find a way to bring their family members to reunite with them, but the time will be longer.

As long as there is hope, they are willing to wait, and they believe that Prince Jing will not break his promise.

Their house was built on the high ground in the center of the island. In the middle of the house group is the big courtyard where Ouyang Yuanhao lives. surrounding.

On the outskirts of the small courtyard group is a large field, which is cultivated by the villagers, and the fields have also been allocated according to the number of people in each family.

"Qing'er, you've worked hard for the past six months." After putting her daughter and son to sleep, the two hugged each other and sat on the bed chatting.

"What are you talking about, I didn't do anything, I just took care of the children at home." Li Wanqing said with a smile, she was telling the truth, for the past six months, she really just took care of the children at home.

"Let you leave your hometown and wander with me across the ocean, Qing'er, thank you for your hard work." If he pretended not to know what Emperor Ren Xiao had done, his wife, children and mother would not have to accompany him to leave Hometown, come to this uninhabited island to open up wasteland.

"What nonsense, we are a family, and the place where you are is my home." Li Wanqing said without any dissatisfaction as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Qing'er—" Ouyang Yuanhao embraced his beloved wife in his arms. He would have no regrets in this life to marry such a good wife.

The next morning, people got up early, and after breakfast, they all came to the courtyard, waiting for Ouyang Yuanhao's arrangement.
