There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 898

[Chapter 898 Chapter 898, Promoted to Commander]

Capital, Imperial Palace.

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, the emperor was discussing with Yang Chenghua, Wu Jingyi and others about the battle between the Yuezhou Navy and the Japanese pirates not long ago. At this moment, Xiao Yeyang sent over the notebook.

The emperor looked at the excerpt in front of the courtiers, and when he learned that Xiao Yeyang had taken back Danhe, he stood up happily and said three words ‘good’.

When Yang Chenghua, Wu Jingyi and others saw it, they wondered what happened to make the emperor so happy.

Seeing that Yang Chenghua and the others showed curiosity, the emperor sat back on the dragon chair again, and said with a smile: “Yeyang took Danhe back from the people of Xiliao.”

Hearing this, the loyal courtiers present were all shocked .

Wu Jingyi was the first to react, and he quickly complimented: “The emperor is wise, he sent Xiao Shizi, a general who led the army to fight, to Xiliang. It has not been a year since he took Danhe, who was dominated by the Xiliao people, to Xiliang. I’m back, I’m really happy to congratulate.”

Yang Chenghua and others echoed one after another, some said that the emperor was wise, and some said that the emperor had discerning eyes.

Although the emperor knew that these old foxes were flattering him, he was indeed very happy.

Yeyang took the blame for him and was demoted to Xiliang. He had always felt a little guilty in his heart, but now that he is healed, taking Danhe back is a great achievement, and he can justifiably make up for him.

“Yeyang said in the booklet that next year he will build the largest military horse farm in

Daxia in Ganzhouwei to supply horses for the imperial court.” Yang Chenghua immediately said: “Your Majesty, Xiao Shizi’s move is very kind. The imperial court has to spend a huge amount of money to buy good horses from the northern barbarians. If Xiao Shizi can really build our own military horse farm in Daxia, then we can save this money. This is a good thing for the country and the people. “The

emperor nodded: “I think so too, you all tell me, this time Yeyang took back Danhe and built an army racecourse, how should I reward him?”

Wu Jingyi glanced at Yang Chenghua, stepped forward with a smile, and said, “Your Majesty, Xiao Shizi used to be a commander of the third-rank Jinling Guard, and now he has made meritorious service, so he should be promoted and rewarded. It just so happens that the post of Ganzhou Guard Commander has been vacant all the time. , it’s better to promote Xiao Shizi to be the commander.” The

emperor gave a ‘hmm’, and said: “Yeyang’s book also mentioned that the Xiliang frontier army passively defended, so that the people of Xiliao dared to cross the border and massacre the city. How do you do this? See?”

Hearing this, Yang Chenghua and the others turned serious.

They knew that life in Xiliang was difficult, but they didn’t expect it to be so serious that the city was massacred.

The emperor asked Eunuch An to bring the map, pointed to Ganzhou Wei and said, “After Ye Yang went to Ganzhou Wei, he built three important military towns on the defense line bordering Ganzhou Wei and Xiliang.”

Wu Jingyi looked at the map , nodded: “This method is good. With three important military towns, the patrol pressure of the frontier army is reduced, and it can also effectively snipe the Xiliao people who cross the border. If there is a war, they can support each other in time.”

“Your Majesty, In my opinion, other guards bordering Xiliang can do the same.”

Yang Chenghua showed his approval, but said: “It is good to build a military town, but… the construction of the town should cost a lot, and the military With the establishment of the town, the number of soldiers stationed may increase, and the military salary will definitely increase the burden on the court.” The

emperor pondered for a while: “Yeyang’s daughter-in-law brought a kind of grain called corn from the south, and it is said that it is suitable for Xiliang. The production over there is not bad, as long as it is promoted, the frontier army will be self-sufficient in food and pay.”

Hearing this, Yang Chenghua and the others all changed their expressions.

Concubine Xiao Shizi is really… prosperous enough!

If we really want to solve the food and clothing problem of Xiliang people, Xiao Yeyang will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in Xiliang even if he is squeezed out by local officials and aristocratic families.

I originally thought that Xiao Yeyang went to Xiliang, not to mention that it was difficult to move forward, but he was struggling to move forward, but he didn’t expect that he would make great achievements in less than a year.

The emperor went on to say: “The frontier defense must not be neglected. I think the idea of building a major military town is feasible.”

Yang Chenghua and others knew that the emperor had an idea in mind, so they didn’t say anything against it: “The emperor is wise.”

The next morning, the emperor After talking about Xiao Yeyang’s return to Danhe and the pre-construction of the Daxia Army Horse Farm, the court announced that Xiao Yeyang was promoted to be the commander of the Ganzhou Guard.

The eunuch passed the decree and rode out of the capital on the same day. At the same time, in addition to the imperial decree, there was also a military order for Xiao Yeyang to prepare for the establishment of a major military town.

After coming down to court, all the officials congratulated Prince Ping one after another, even Yan Zhigao was surrounded by many officials to congratulate him.

Fang Fu.

After seeking a job in Guanglu Temple, Fang Shuo, who was a seventh-rank idler, came back to the government. For the first time, he didn’t go to see Xie Yuhua’s concubine, but went directly to Yan Yile’s courtyard.

Seeing Fang Shuo approaching, Yan Yile was stunned for a moment, and then stood up to say hello, “Why did Mr. Xiang come to my place?”

Fang Shuo’s face showed a trace of unnaturalness, but he quickly walked over calmly and confidently. They took Yan Yile’s hand and sat down together, and said with a smile: “I was too busy a few days ago, so I didn’t come to see you. Why, are you angry?”

Yan Yile snorted: “Yes Ah, you are too busy, busy with your Xieyu Hua Qingqing every day.”

Hearing this, Fang Shuo felt a little annoyed.

If the wives of other families saw their husbands taking the initiative to ease the relationship, they would definitely go down the ladder immediately. Yan Yile was fine, but she didn’t have the slightest sense of which pot she shouldn’t carry.

Fang Shuo took a deep breath, thinking that Xiao Yeyang, who was demoted to Xiliang, but was promoted to the commander of the third rank in just one year, and considering that he might still rely on the Yan family in the future, he could only laugh and coax Yan Yile.

Fang Shuo was also able to keep his head down, coaxing Yan Yile into a smile.

For the next few days, Fang Shuo stayed with Yan Yile to rest.

It was only the day before Xiumu that Fang Shuo mentioned Xiao Yeyang’s matter: “The elder brother-in-law has risen in value, we should go to the Yan’s house to congratulate the uncle and aunt.

” It’s been a long time since we got together, I’ll take a bath tomorrow, I just have time, I’ll accompany you back to Yan’s house.”

The smile on Yan Yile’s face suddenly faltered, and she looked up at Fang Shuo who was smiling at her.

She hadn’t seen such a gentle smile for a long time.

Just looking at such a smile, she suddenly felt a little chilly.

After regaining Danhe, Xiao Yeyang waited until the city wall was initially built before returning to Ganzhou City.

At this time, it has entered December.

It was also a coincidence that the day after Xiao Yeyang returned to the city, the eunuch who passed the decree arrived.

Commander of the Guard.

Under the watchful eyes of all the officials of the guard, Xiao Yeyang accepted the imperial edict to be promoted to the commander.

On the day of receiving the decree, Xiao Yeyang sent someone to send a message to all the officials of the Thousand Households Office and Hundred Households Office under the jurisdiction of the guard, asking them to report to Ganzhou City in three days.

Xia Jianren curled his lips: “This is the third fire for the new official to take office!”

Fan Tong retorted: “Why is it a new official? Didn’t Master Xiao take over Ganzhou Wei as soon as he came?”

Xia Jianren snorted: “Before It’s because everyone was concerned about his status as the prince’s son and didn’t bother with him. Now that the emperor has issued an imperial edict, he can justifiably take over Ganzhou Wei.”

Fan Tong shook his head: “Okay, I think Mr. Xiao is good, and it’s for us again. He brought high-yielding grain seeds, and took back

Danhe . I am convinced that he is the commander, and you should not speak sourly here.” Seeing Fan Tong leave, Xia Jianren frowned, not knowing that Mr. Wei Do you know about this? Forget it, it’s better to write a letter to Master Wei to explain.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the largest meeting room of the guard, Xiao Yeyang sat on the main seat, looked at the officials sitting below, and without saying anything to start, he directly had Xia Jianren tied up.
