April 3rd, the sun was shining brightly.
On this day, the west gate of Xianyang City was directly blocked, prohibiting people from entering or exiting.
At the gate, there was an army arrayed in formation, and Prince Ying Yuqian was waiting here with hundreds of civil and military officials. People from Heibingtai previously sent back the news that the team led by Lin Feng will return today. After Ying Yugan got the news, he took Zhang Yi, Wang Tang and other civil and military officials to the west gate to greet Lin Feng who had returned in triumph.
Ying Yuqian stood at the front with his hands behind his back and his head held high, with a faint smile on his slightly tired face.
His eyes were even more filled with anticipation.
Lin Feng destroyed Gaochang and made great achievements. Lin Feng is now a hero of the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Dajun was in a good mood, thinking that Lin Feng was about to make a triumphant return. Lin Feng had made a meritorious service, and Da Qin had also benefited from this battle, and could develop faster.
Ying Yuqian saw that no one had come back to report on the official road ahead, so he guessed that he would have to wait a while.
He looked at Zhang Yi and said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, local memorials mentioned that Yongning County and other places on the eastern border of Yongzhou, many people from the Xia Kingdom have poured into our Daqin within the territory.”
"Due to the turmoil in the Xia Kingdom and the severe exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, many people of the Xia Kingdom fled to live in Da Qin because they were embarrassed to do hard work and taxes. These people cannot roam around at will in Da Qin and must be resettled."
"It's just that the placement of these people is now a problem."
"There have been several discussions in the imperial court, but they all held their own opinions and there was no conclusion. My father handed the matter over to the East Palace for discussion. For a while, they also held their own opinions, and no one was clear enough to convince all parties. plan."
Ying Yuqian asked: "Does Mr. Zhang have any ideas about the resettlement of the people of Xia Kingdom?"
Zhang Yi stroked his beard under his chin and said slowly: "Your Highness, when it comes to the issue of refugees from the Xia Kingdom, I think it depends on how Your Highness makes the decision? The people of the Xia Kingdom who poured into Da Qin were not just one or two people, but thousands. Tens of thousands of people.”
"More and more people are pouring in, and everyone has to eat, drink, and defecate. This is a huge burden. Of course, a large number of people entering Daqin will increase the number of people in Daqin, which is also beneficial. But the influx of people also It comes with a lot of hassles and problems.”
"Perhaps among these refugees, there are spies planted by the Xia Kingdom and other countries. Perhaps, these refugees from the Xia Kingdom will conflict with the local people of the Xia Kingdom. Perhaps, these people will occupy Great Qin's resources."
Zhang Yi said: "There are pros and cons, so it's up to the prince to weigh this matter."
Zhang Yi naturally knew about the people who poured into Da Qin.
However, he also hesitated. Once you express your stance on this matter, it will be fine if there are no problems. If there are problems, you will have to take responsibility.
Zhang Yi did not express his position casually.
After Ying Yuqian heard this, he frowned and stopped asking any more questions.
Zhang Yi didn't express his position, and he didn't force it. After Lin Feng came back, he asked Lin Feng, "Let's see what Lin Feng said."
"Here we come, the Marquis of Zhenguo is back."
Suddenly, an attendant stared ahead and shouted loudly.
With this shout, everyone looked forward. I saw flags fluttering on the official road far ahead, and large flags fluttering in the wind. As big flags appeared, a team was quickly returning.
It doesn't take long before you can see it clearly.
Lin Feng was at the front, riding his horse forward slowly. Lin Feng led his team back from Gaochang. Because there were many people and a large amount of supplies, the journey was slow.
Only now have I returned.
As soon as Lin Feng returned to the outside of Xianyang City, when he approached the city gate, he saw Ying Yuqian and hundreds of civil and military officials guarding the door.
This battle was already very grand.
When Lin Feng was still about twenty steps away from the city gate, he got off the black dragon, stepped forward, came to Ying Yuqian, bowed and said: "Your Highness, Lin Feng, pays homage to the Crown Prince. I will lead the troops to attack Gaochang." , and finally lived up to His Majesty’s trust.”
Ying Yuqian stepped forward, took Lin Feng's hand, and praised: "Lin Qing, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Feng said: "I don't have to work hard."
Ying Yuqian said: "Father is hosting a banquet in the palace to welcome you and wash away the dust. Let's go and follow me into the city."
"I accept your order."
Lin Feng bowed and agreed.
Ying Yuqian directly asked Lin Feng to get into the prince's car. Lin Feng refused, but Ying Yuqian said that it was the emperor's arrangement. Lin Feng could only get into Ying Yuqian's prince's car in front of everyone.
Ying Yuqian then ordered Xun Peng to arrange for the generals to lead the troops back to the army, and Xun Peng also followed him into the palace.
A group of people quickly went to the palace.
When everyone entered the Imperial City Hall, various desks and seats had been prepared, and even drinks, meat and food had been placed on the desks.
Win Jiuxiao and sit on the main seat.
Everyone saluted Ying Jiuxiao and then took their seats.
Lin Feng's position is first on the right, tied with Zhang Yi, who is first on the left. As for Ying Yuqian, it was Ying Jiuxiao's move. Lin Feng looked at his position and the formations in the hall, knowing that this was the key to winning Jiuxiao.
It's him who gets this treatment.
It would have been impossible for anyone else to run to the first position on the right as a Marquis of Zhenguo.
Ying Jiuxiao picked up the wine bottle, looked around at everyone, and said: "Lin Feng returned triumphantly with the Black Dragon Army. For Da Qin, it means opening up territory and expanding territory. Opening up territory and expanding territory is actually not difficult for Da Qin. But to do it It is not easy to find financial resources for Da Qin."
"Lin Feng discovered a large amount of copper mines in Gaochang and led his troops to capture Gaochang. This is the blessing of our great Qin Dynasty. This battle was thanks to Lin Feng's suggestion and his command. Today's hero is Lin Feng .”
"This is my first glass of wine, to honor Lin Feng."
Ying Jiuxiao was very heroic and in an extremely good mood. Thinking of the gold, silver and jewelry sent back and the copper mines in Gaochang, he felt very happy.
Lin Feng stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Jiuxiao and Lin Feng all drink together.
Ying Jiuxiao put down the wine bottle and continued: "For the second glass of wine, I and all my ministers will pay homage to Lin Feng again."
"Honor the Marquis of the Kingdom."
The officials from both the DPRK and the Central Government spoke in unison.
At the end of the war, Lin Feng resigned as governor, leaving only the title of Marquis of Zhenguo.
Lin Feng responded with a wine bottle.
After Ying Jiuxiao toasted two glasses of wine, he stopped talking and invited people to eat food and drink. The ministers in the court exchanged cups one after another, and everyone was very happy. Great Qin's foreign campaigns went smoothly and it captured the copper mines, which was a good thing.
This also gave Da Qin more confidence.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the banquet is coming to an end. When the banquet was over, Ying Jiuxiao left Ying Yuqian, Lin Feng, Zhang Yi, and Wang Tang alone.
All other officials retired.
The hall became quiet again.
Ying Jiuxiao asked someone to make tea to sober up. He shook his robes, rubbed his face, and leaned back slightly, looking very casual. He looked at Lin Feng and said slowly: "Lin Feng, the war in Gaochang has ended, and it has been brought under the control of our Great Qin. You are the one who knows the most about the arrangements of the Gaochang Kingdom. What do you think?"
Ying Yuqian, Wang Tang and Zhang Yi also looked over, with curiosity in their eyes.
How would Lin Feng answer?
When it comes to the arrangement of Gaochang, especially after the Gaochang Kingdom was included in the Qin Dynasty, this is a piece of fat meat, and many people want a piece of the pie.
So, this is very critical.
