The team went from the fifth day of the first lunar month to the tenth day of the third month...
From prosperity to desolation.
Visibly to the naked eye, the land beneath our feet began to become increasingly barren, with more sand and gravel and fewer trees.
After nightfall, there will be wind and sand, making people look disgraced.
Yunfei ordered people to make masks and distribute them.
This time she brought more than 500 servants from the mansion, 3,000 private soldiers and four secret guards, and 30 dead soldiers.
To put it bluntly, it was enough to attack Jingcheng, let alone take it over legitimately.
There were people in five carriages, and the thirty carriages behind them were pulling some of their important belongings from Prince Jing's Mansion.
There are also some valuables that she has placed in the space.
Even on the road, she would get on a carriage every day and take care of them one by one without being biased.
…………
"Your Highness, Jingcheng is ahead!" The guard officer under his command stepped forward to report.
"Yeah, I got it! Go directly to the city and stay at the City Lord's Mansion."
"Subordinates take orders."
Knowing that it was coming soon, the curtains of the five carriages were opened at the same time to look around!
Ye Lian'er complained: "But come to think of it, my waist has almost broken in these three months."
"If you please bear with me, Sir, we can rest after we enter the city!" The waiter accompanying the carriage comforted him.
Today Yunfei happened to be in Hibiscus's carriage, and when he learned that it was coming soon, he returned to the first carriage.
Outside the city gate, officials from all walks of life were waiting in full formation...
Until he saw the mighty people and horses in the distance, he immediately began to tidy up his official uniform nervously, for fear of offending Prince Jing.
When the leading carriage approached, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "I am waiting to greet His Highness Prince Jing. Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
Yun Fei, who was in the carriage, opened the curtain and walked out, raising his hand to signal, "Everyone, please get up. I am tired from traveling and traveling, so I will go back to my mansion to rest first, and I will invite you all to a banquet at my mansion in three days."
"It should be, it should be, the official has ordered people to clean the city lord's mansion! We are just waiting for His Highness to move in."
The middle-aged woman standing in front stepped forward to reply, with cold sweat covering her wrinkled face.
It can be seen that... I am very nervous and overwhelmed.
The officials assigned to Jingcheng either had no background or had offended others. In short, they were all minor officials with little reputation.
All officials quickly moved out of the way to allow the team to pass...
These thousands of powerful private soldiers really shocked them!
The fine armor and weapons, as well as the energetic horses! At first glance, you can tell that they are a fine team of soldiers.
Jingcheng has assembled troops from all the cities, counties and towns, but it is estimated that they will not be able to assemble a team capable of fighting.
…………
The people on the road were talking a lot about such a group of people entering the city.
"I heard that our Prince Jing is going to take over the fiefdom?"
"Hey, I don't know if your highness is here. Can the tax be reduced?"
"Sister, what are you thinking about? We are all grateful that these dignitaries do not increase taxes!"
"No way? Didn't the news from the capital say that Prince Jing is the princess with the best temper?"
"I can't believe the rumors..."
"Your Highness, our Jingcheng seems a little too deserted?" Gong Liusu said hesitantly when he saw the depressed streets in the city.
"The geology here is barren, with little output and no characteristics. No traveling merchants will pass by here, so it's normal for it to be deserted."
Yunfei comforted softly: "Don't worry, things will change!"
"Lisu just... feels sorry for His Highness."
"If you don't suffer, I won't suffer."
Gong Liusu gently snuggled into the woman's arms, and the faint body fragrance made him close his eyes and smell deeply.
Marrying her is the happiest thing in his life!
…………
The city lord's mansion is exactly the same as the dilapidation and depression of Jingcheng...
If the prefect had not renovated it in advance, it would probably be even more shabby.
The prefect of Jingcheng was the woman over fifty who had just led the officials to kneel down to welcome her into the city. Her surname was Qi.
At this moment, she was sweating coldly and explained stammeringly: "Your Highness, no... it's not that I don't want to renovate it, it's just... I'm short of money..."
"Well, you should go back first. We will discuss other matters another day!"
"Your Majesty, take your orders."
Magistrate Qi hurriedly resigned and left the city lord's mansion with the support of the chief clerk.
She really couldn't afford the money for renovations, and she felt like she was going to die soon. Is His Highness angry? Is it time for her to go home and make a will?
Otherwise...should we send the young girl to another country to save her life?
The area beyond Jingcheng is the border cities of the other three countries, all of which are bitter and cold places that have been forgotten by people.
However, there are military camps stationed in the four directions in the middle to guard against enemy sneak attacks all year round.
They are also a group of sergeants who were forgotten by the court and never returned to the prosperous Kyoto in their lives.
…………
The houses in the City Lord's Mansion are not exquisite, but they occupy a large area.
It's old but very clean. It can be seen that there are people taking care of the furniture in the house.
It was a rainy day in March.
As soon as they settled in, it started to drizzle in the sky, and the busy figures of the servants in the mansion could be seen everywhere.
The elite soldiers were arranged to live in the servants' room in the backyard temporarily, but this was not going to work.
The first task after taking over the city is to build a military camp and a school ground!
Yunfei was in the lobby, discussing future plans with the generals of the private army, General Tan and several deputy generals.
With the two secret guards sent by the Queen, Mu Qing and Mu Yun moved to the bright side.
He became Yunfei's right-hand man.
As for the thirty dead soldiers, they were hidden in every corner of the mansion to protect the safety of the mansion.
In the backyard, Gong Liusu was also beating the servants, asking them to follow the new rules of the house and perform their duties.
If there is anyone with wandering thoughts, kill them directly!
"Our Highness doesn't care about what's going on in the backyard. If you dare to throw the blame on me, don't blame me for being ruthless. Do you understand?"
"I would like to listen to your teachings."
"Go down, gentlemen in charge, and keep an eye on the people below! If anything goes wrong, you will be questioned."
"Slave, please obey!"
Under this orderly arrangement, everyone in Prince Jing's Mansion quickly adapted to the new residence.
…………
After entertaining officials from all over the country, Yunfei became very busy visibly, and sometimes he didn't even have time to go back to the backyard.
He worked in the front yard to discuss important matters. After spending the night on the couch late at night, he went out to supervise the work at dawn.
“Now is the spring and summer season with the heaviest rainfall of the year. If we want to ensure there is no shortage of water in autumn and winter, the first thing is to store water!
After issuing the decree, the government will recruit skilled craftsmen who can dig wells and find pulses, promising huge profits! Serve the government. "
Yunfei, who was at the top, unfolded the map and pointed out several locations for his officials to note down.
"The land in these places is particularly barren. Let's improve the water conservancy first. Then I will announce a fertilization recipe and let the people implement it.
Only by nurturing the land well can the yield be increased. Seeds and planting methods are also very important!
Let’s do it one by one first, and we’ll discuss the rest some other time. Let me arrange everything first! "
