Spring passes and summer comes, time flies.
Before I knew it, half a year had passed.
Since the strike in Liao and Jin Dynasties, not only have there been no war disturbances in the north, but there have also been no incidents of rogue bandits robbing their homes and homes. Under the placement of officials from various countries, the people have a temporary place to live, and their lives have become more stable.
However, in fact, both Liao and Jin were trying their best to appease the people, expand their armies, and hoard food and supplies. The peace in front of them was just the calm before the storm.
After half a year of development, Dayan's good deeds of doing little corvee and accepting refugees have also led to many Khitan people coming to seek refuge.
In the past, Dayan only had this corner of Yanbei, but now it has the territory of Xijing Road, which can naturally accommodate more refugees to settle. Therefore, compared with the precarious situation of Liao Metalland, Yanland is a prosperous scene.
Especially in this uncivilized land, Zhao Ding could be said to have found a place where he could show off what he had learned. As various policies to benefit the people were promulgated, not only did Murong Fu not suffer much loss, but in less than half a year, Within a short period of time, there were significant benefits.
Since ancient times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Zhao Ding first provided homes and fields for the refugees. After their lives stabilized, he encouraged people to join the army. As long as they joined the army, they would receive tax exemptions, money and food supplies and other subsidies. Women at home could also Work to obtain money, exchange for food, etc.
Khitan people, both men and women, are extremely tough and physically strong. Even the women are as good as ordinary men in the Song Dynasty. They can cultivate grain fields by themselves and make a living by farming, and their efficiency is not inferior to that of men. ?.?????.???
In order to make reasonable use of this advantage, Zhao Ding established a school and enrolled all Khitan children in the school to teach knowledge.
This can educate foreign children and spread Han culture. Secondly, it can also give women whose husbands join the army and need to raise their children alone the opportunity to work in agriculture. The monthly school fees, even if they are the women's monthly income from farming, are just If you can afford it, plus the money rewarded by your husband for joining the army, you even have a surplus.
Murong Fu did not expect that Zhao Ding would have such foresight. In order to give him the greatest support, he immediately appointed him as the shepherd of Xizhou, and he did not hesitate to provide money and food behind his back.
After Zhao Ding felt Murong Fu's sincerity, his passion finally showed its expression, and he worked even harder, forgetting to eat and sleep.
In order to repay His Majesty, he would take Murong Chengze with him wherever he went, teaching him everything he could, hoping to train him into a sage monarch who would be considerate of the people in the future.
Murong Chengze was also very studious and worshiped him as his teacher. He worked hard every day. Although he was a prince, he was not squeamish at all and was deeply loved by Zhao Ding.
Just when Xizhou was being managed in an orderly manner by Zhao Ding and others, Yanbei Longcheng also ushered in the army of the Song Dynasty.
Gou Du took a few civil servants to greet him outside the city. After handing over with the envoys, they entered Dragon City together and went straight to the palace.
Along the way, people gathered around the roadside and looked curiously at the Song Dynasty procession sending off their relatives.
Knowing that the eldest of the two princesses was only ten years old and the youngest had just turned seven, the people found it interesting and felt that the Yan Kingdom was so majestic that even the Song Dynasty had to send the two princesses to get engaged to the prince of the country. I feel proud in my heart.
Inside the Zichen Hall.
The envoy of the Song Dynasty brought two princesses to visit Murong Fu.
Murong Fu sat high on the dragon chair, with the queen Xiao Qi next to her. When she learned that the two princesses were coming, she naturally wanted to come and see them.
Zhao Yupan and Zhao Fujin were sent to Dayan. They were a little scared at first, but after seeing Murong Fu and even Xiao Qi, they suddenly felt less scared, and there was a touch of joy in their eyes.
Xiaoqi looked at them, and called her to her side rather distressedly. She was relieved for a while, and told them not to worry, and they would regard Longcheng as their home from now on.
The two little princesses learned a lot of court etiquette when they arrived. Although they wanted to throw themselves into their aunt's arms for comfort, they still bowed first and stood beside her obediently.
In order to prevent the two little princesses from feeling uncomfortable in the main hall, Murong Fu expressed his position in front of the envoys of the Song Dynasty in front of the envoys of the Song Dynasty based on the results of previous discussions with the girls, "The two princesses are still young and need to be educated. I decided after discussing with the queen. What does the imperial envoy think of leaving Princess Jiafu to be raised by Concubine Li, and Princess Kangfu by Concubine Mu De?"
The envoy of the Song Dynasty hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is so graceful and considerate. Your empress is a mother to the world and her kindness is clear. Foreign ministers think it is very good!"
Murong Fu nodded, then announced his withdrawal from the court, and went to the inner court of the harem with Xiao Qi and the two princesses.
Li Qinglu and Mu Wanqing had been waiting for a long time. Not only them, but also Li Qingzhao and Wang Yuyan also came.
Logically speaking, in order to show sincerity, Wang Yuyan should be allowed to help raise one of them, but she is Murong Chengze's biological mother after all, so it is a bit against the rules, so they were replaced by the noble concubine Li Qinglu and the concubine Mu Wanqing.
As for Concubine Shu Li Qingzhao, because she had to raise Shuang'er, this opportunity fell on Mu Wanqing. The girls were even a little worried about this. After all, Mu Wanqing did not have a complete childhood, and his temperament was not necessarily suitable. Take care of children.
But these two are also princesses of the Song Dynasty. If they choose one of the nine concubines to take care of them, they will inevitably lose the face of both countries. So after pushing and shoving, they can only choose from Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling in addition to Li Qinglu. Pick one out.
After much deliberation, this important task still fell on Mu Wanqing. Compared to a young girl like Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing was somewhat more independent. If a few more nannies were hired to take care of her, nothing would go wrong.
Xiaoqi led the two daughters to meet the two adoptive mothers, and from now on, they will live with them.
Li Qinglu liked her very much, and especially felt that Zhao Yupan was quite similar to herself, so she recognized her immediately.
And Mu Wanqing also very much hopes that she can have a child, but that it will be born to her and Murong Fu, rather than raising someone else's child.
But after seeing the very beautiful and lovely girl in front of him, it would be false to say that he didn't like her, and he immediately recognized her with a smile.
Zhao Yupan knew that Li Qinglu was the princess of Xixia Kingdom, so he recognized this foster mother very much and bowed down happily.
Zhao Fujin was younger and had more eyes for people's faces. When she saw that Mu Wanqing was so beautiful and had a very pleasant fragrance on her body, she also liked it very much and knelt down without hesitation.
After the ceremony was completed, the two princesses of the Song Dynasty finally found their destination.
Murong Fu was relatively loose with the management of the harem, and immediately held a banquet to welcome the two little princesses. The queen, the sixth concubine, and the ninth concubine gathered together. A group of beautiful women sat together and it was very lively. The little princess who had just arrived was shown flowers.
I think these girls are so pretty, right?
