Chapter 206 Give Beiguo another year and they won't be able to develop
The news of the civil strife in Dawu quickly spread throughout Daxia. As soon as they heard that there was a civil strife in Dawu, the aristocratic families in Daxia immediately panicked.

If the pressure from the outside of Great Xia disappears, then Emperor Xia is likely to attack the aristocratic family next.

All of a sudden, the major families in Great Xia began to prepare one after another. Some families colluded with the princes, and some families chose to join forces with the princes. As long as Emperor Xia dared to do something to the families, they planned to overthrow Emperor Xia and replace them with another one. emperor.

But in the next period of time, Great Xia suddenly became calm, and Emperor Xia didn't seem to have the slightest intention to attack the family.

Not only did they not mobilize the army on a large scale, but they also appointed the eighth prince Lu Shuyun as the crown prince. This made the Jiangnan family extremely happy. They thought that Emperor Xia was planning to compromise completely.

A month later.

North Palace.

Lu Chen watched the news from the capital in the study, and felt a little puzzled in his heart. His father should also know that Da Wu and Da Qian had internal problems, why did he not use the knife at this time.

Not only did he not attack the aristocratic family, but instead made the eighth prince the crown prince. This move seemed like a compromise with the Jiangnan aristocratic family.

Could it be that his father intends to take his time, and the establishment of a prince is just a blindfold?

Although now is the best time to attack the family, the power of the family has been deeply bound to Daxia after all, and getting rid of the ancient family is like scraping bones to cure poison.

Although now is the best time to get rid of the ancient family, we still have to take our time to solve the family.

Anyway, Lu Chen didn't think that his father had completely given up on the idea of ​​taking action against the aristocratic family.

When Lu Chen was in a daze looking at the information sent by the capital, Wu Yuan came to the door of the study and said, "My lord, King Qi sent an envoy to Yancheng."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He put down the information in his hand, and then said, "King Qi? That King Qi?"

Wu Yuan came to his senses in an instant, and immediately said, "It's your uncle."

King Qi and King Qi have similar pronunciations, Lu Shuyun is King Qi, and the other King Qi is Lu Chen's uncle, a vassal with a fief, and Lu Chen just thought it was Lu Shuyun who sent another envoy.

After hearing Wu Yuan's words, Lu Chen asked curiously, "What did he send the envoy for?"

King Qi's fief is closely adjacent to the North Kingdom, just to the south of the North Kingdom.

Wu Yuan replied: "Most likely it's because of the refugee issue."

Hearing what Wu Yuan said, Lu Chen seemed to understand something, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said: "Bring that messenger to meet me in the study."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, Wu Yuan came to the study with a middle-aged man wearing a gray gown.

When the man saw Lu Chen, he immediately saluted and said, "Foreign minister Liu Zhong pays homage to King Bei!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Foreigner? They are all subjects of Great Xia, how can you call yourself a foreigner?"

"Could it be that the uncle of the king has other ideas?"

Although they are all in the same dynasty, ministers between feudal states and feudal states can call themselves foreign ministers. Lu Chen obviously knows this, he just made a joke to see how Liu Zhong would react, which is also a kind of temptation.

There was no panic on Liu Zhong's face. He said neither humble nor overbearing: "What the prince said is that it was my fault. After I returned, I confessed my crime to my king and asked my king to punish me."

Lu Chen didn't intend to continue this topic, he asked directly: "Tell me, why does my uncle send you?"

Liu Zhong replied: "My lord, I heard that there are many wastelands in the northern country, but there is also a lack of population development. Recently, the lord has been worrying about the population. It happens that many refugees from Xiwu County have come to the Qi country. My king plans to send these refugees to the northern country. Help the prince to open up wasteland."

Hearing this, Lu Chen burst out laughing immediately, and then said: "This king's uncle really has a good idea, what does it mean to help this king open up wasteland? According to this king, your country of Qi clearly doesn't want to take in those refugees. , I feel that they are a burden, so I want to send them to the Northland."

Liu Zhong said indifferently: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Now that the country of Qi has enough food, the country is rich and the people are strong, there is no problem in accepting those refugees from Xiwu County. My king intends to send them to the North Kingdom just to make friends with the North Kingdom. That's why I took the initiative to help you, my lord."

Lu Chen said: "I appreciate the kindness of your Qi State. Since your Qi State can accept those refugees, then those refugees should stay in your Qi State."

"The northern country is so poor that it can't even support the people in its own country. There is still surplus food to feed the refugees."

Liu Zhong still didn't panic, he said calmly: "My lord, please rest assured, my lord has said that if the lord is willing to accept those refugees, the rations of those refugees for a year will be paid by the State of Qi."

Hearing Liu Zhong's words, Lu Chen said: "Oh? That uncle of the king is so nice? He even prepared rations for those refugees? At that time, your country of Qi will not send people here first, and then ignore it, right? "

Liu Zhong replied: "At that time, the rations of the refugees will be sent to Beiguo together with those refugees. When Beiguo receives those refugees, they can count the food first."

Lu Chen could tell that the refugees from those three counties had already caused Qi Guo terribly, otherwise it would be impossible for Qi Guo to be so humble.

Lu Chen didn't continue to bargain any more, he planned to take it as soon as he saw a deal. The one-year ration of the refugees was just enough to help them get through the year in peace. When the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes matured, it would not be too much for them to feed the refugees in the coming year. The problem.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't speak, Liu Zhong thought that Lu Chen still didn't intend to agree, so he continued: "My lord, before I left Qi State, my king had a discussion with the grain merchants of Qi State. The country purchases grain according to the price of grain before the outbreak of the Daxia and Dawu wars, and the Qi country promises not to increase the price within a year."

Lu Chen thought to himself, it seems that those refugees have seriously affected the local big landlords and aristocratic families in Qi State, otherwise they would not be able to meet this condition.

Seeing that Lu Chen still didn't speak, Liu Zhong frowned. He thought in his heart that the King of the North would still refuse to agree. Was this a little too greedy?

Everyone can see that Beiguo needs population now, and Qiguo is sending both population and food, and his attitude is already so low. If Beiguo still refuses to agree, then he will be a bit ignorant.

At this time, Lu Chen said: "For the sake of King Qi being my uncle, I will give your Qi country a face, and the refugees can be sent to the North Kingdom, but the food for those refugees cannot be less for a year. At that time, the king will arrange the army to receive it."

Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, Liu Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, and then said, "It's natural."

Then Lu Chen said to Wu Yuan: "Wu Qianhu, Mr. Liu came from a long way, so you must treat him well."

Wu Yuan immediately said: "Yes, my lord."

Liu Zhong said immediately: "Thank you, my lord, I will leave."

Afterwards, Wu Yuan took Liu Zhong out of the study, and after the two of them left, Lu Chen immediately asked for officials from Yancheng to discuss the matter of accepting refugees.

There must be a lot of refugees in those three counties, hundreds of thousands of them are indispensable, otherwise Qi State would not pay such a high price.

The northern country has a lot of land and wasteland, so there is no big problem in arranging those refugees, but it is not easy to manage these refugees well, so it is necessary to discuss how to settle these refugees and where is the best place to arrange them.

……

at the same time.

Great Xia Capital, East Palace.

Prince Lu Shuyun was dealing with some government affairs in the study, when his followers entered the study one by one.

Seeing them coming, Lu Shuyun put down the things in his hand, and then said: "Recently, there have been a lot of refugees outside the capital, and the father asked Gu to deal with those refugees. Now Gu has not found a good way."

Solving the refugees was the first political matter that Lu Shuyun took over after becoming the prince. This matter must be done well, otherwise he would be impeached by other princes in the court.

For this reason, Lu Shuyun called all his followers, and at this time some officials from the royal family also appeared in Lu Shuyun's study.

At this time, the servant of the Household Department said: "Your Highness, the land in Daxia has been allocated long ago, and it is difficult to find other land to accommodate so many refugees, so the lower official suggested that all these refugees should be moved to the North Kingdom to avoid causing trouble. Chaos."

"The northern kingdom is full of wasteland, and the northern kingdom is short of population. I believe that the king of the north is also willing to accept those refugees, so that the issue of refugees can be easily resolved."

Hearing these words, Lu Shuyun frowned slightly.

When mentioning King Bei, he thought of what Wang Yong told him not long ago. The Wang family had sent killers from Lingwu Pavilion to assassinate King Bei. It had been so long, but there was still no news.

At this time, Lu Shuyun turned his head to look at Wang Yong, and asked, "Wang Yong, is there any news about that incident?"

Wang Yong said: "Going back to Your Highness, there is still no news, and I went to Lingwu Pavilion to inquire, and their people have not received any news from the North Kingdom. Su Teng and the others disappeared after they went to Yancheng. "

Lu Shuyun pondered for a moment, Su Teng was a master of extreme realm after all, but he disappeared after going to the North Kingdom?

And since this period of time, many aristocratic families have sent assassins to the North Kingdom. As a result, the King of the North is still alive, but there is no news of those assassins.

How many masters are there around King Bei?
At this time, a doorman in the study said: "I don't suggest that Your Highness send refugees to the North Country. If the North Country develops, it will definitely be a big threat to Your Highness."

Although the refugees from those three counties were indeed a big trouble, if all these refugees were sent to the North Country, the North Country might become a bigger problem in the future.

There are so many aristocratic families in the Great Xia territory, and so many assassins were sent to fail to kill the Northern King. This proves that the current Northern King has established a firm foothold in the Northern Kingdom. Further development and growth.

After hearing what the doorman said, the Minister of the Household Department said: "Young Master Li's worries are not unreasonable, but now the North Country is short of food and clothing, and there is no way to support such a large population. These refugees have moved to the North Country, which will only create more trouble for the North Country. There is a lot of chaos, and the king of the north wants to manage these refugees, but the officials think it is impossible."

"Besides, this is the first political matter His Royal Highness has to deal with after becoming the crown prince. The most urgent task is to solve the rebellion of the refugees first. I think the issue of the northern kingdom is not what we should consider now."

"Besides, the Northern Kingdom has taken back all the land ownership to the Northern Prince's Mansion. These refugees will not be able to get any land when they go to the Northern Kingdom. Sooner or later, these refugees will rebel. This will help the court deal with the Northern Kingdom's problems in the future."

After listening to the Minister of the Household Department, Lu Shuyun felt that there was some truth. Although there were a lot of refugees in the three counties this time, they could replenish a large number of people in the North Kingdom, but it was precisely because of the large population that the North Kingdom could not manage it. The northern kingdom left a curse.

Such a poor feudal country would definitely not be able to support such a large population. In addition, the imperial court has now decided to ignore the northern kingdom. The imperial court will not intervene in any difficulties in the northern kingdom. As long as these refugees move to the northern kingdom, the civil strife in the north It's a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Lu Shuyun said: "Your Majesty Qin is right, if Gu can't quickly resolve the refugee chaos in Daxia, then Gu will definitely be impeached by the ministers. It is a political matter that must be resolved as soon as possible.”

"As for the Northland, the Northland is not only poor, but the winter is relatively long, and the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved, and they will not be able to develop in another 100 years."

Seeing that Lu Shuyun had already made a decision, everyone in the study didn't say anything more.

Everyone also understood in their hearts that for their faction, now is indeed not the time to consider how to deal with the North Kingdom. Now that Lu Shuyun has just become the crown prince, he must make some achievements, otherwise he will not be able to stop the mouths of the ministers.

If he can't quickly resolve a refugee rebellion, then why should he be a prince?

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Northern Kingdom, Palace of Political Affairs.

Today's Xiaochao meeting mainly discussed the reception of refugees in the North Kingdom in the past half month. King Qi kept his word. He not only sent the refugees to the North Kingdom, but also sent a lot of food. It also made Beiwangfu seize the time to buy food in Qi State.

Lu Chen had a premonition that a civil war was about to break out in Daxia, and the price of grain would rise at that time. Finally, there was a place where he could buy grain at the price before the war broke out. The Northern Palace could not miss this opportunity.

Now Yancheng has built a lot of granaries, which are specially used to store grain.

When the Xiaochaohui was coming to an end, a Jinyi guard entered the main hall, "My lord, an urgent report from the capital."

Hearing this, the people in the hall fell silent instantly.

Lu Chen above the main hall said: "Submit it."

Immediately Jin Yiwei put the information in front of Lu Chen, Lu Chen picked up the information that had just been delivered, opened it and looked at it seriously.

After a while, he put down the information in his hands and said to the officials in the hall: "The imperial court decided to move all the refugees from the three counties to the North Kingdom, and the imperial decree will arrive in Yancheng in a few days."

Hearing this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

At this time Li Rui asked: "My lord, does the court want to give food to the North Kingdom?"

Lu Chen chuckled, and then said: "Food? Master Li really knows how to joke. Last time, when the imperial court transferred Lin Xiuming's [-] troops back, he said that the imperial court will not aid the North Kingdom with anything, including grain. "

　In the previous chapter, I was reported for driving, and I was speechless...
