Regarding Chang Qingqing's adoptive father Gan Shaolong, Guo Rong had also inquired about Chang Qingqing when Zhao Kuangyi said that he was no longer alive.

"There were thirty or forty households at the beginning. At that time... the grass-roots people formed a group of their own. They relied on some martial arts to force the begging for the wealth begged by the refugees around them..." Fang Changsheng looked ashamed, paused, and said, "I even forcibly begged for those who are unkind, and accumulated some wealth to survive."

After glanced at Guo Rong who was listening attentively, Fang Changsheng said again: "Later, I met the hero Gan. After receiving his good advice, I put away the daily begging income of those refugees and distributed food for them to live. After a while, combined with the original savings, I rented some houses and placed people who slept in the open. Later, more and more refugees came to visit. Xiang and Cizhou recognized the refugees who were absent from the grass... I remember that there were more than 4,000 people."

I think it was the so-called refugee who recognized him in Fang Changsheng's words, who should be the beggar who obeyed him. When Jiang Qiubai heard his words, he looked at Guo Rong and smiled.

"Natural disasters and wars are caused by the chaos of people and horses, and begging is not easy to survive. In addition, there are many refugees, which makes food supply difficult. Fortunately, Gan Xiashi, Cao Min and others have some martial arts. They often go to the deep mountains and wild animals to make dried jerky to solve most of the food concerns.

After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he was greatly favored by the emperor, so that the land without a master, the land, and houses were divided into many people. Therefore, most of the people who were assigned to the fields were born and lived in peace without worrying about being bullied by Fang."

Guo Rongzi also heard that being bullied by him was a slander, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The world is in chaos and people's livelihood is difficult. If there are more knights in Gan, a person like Mr. Fang will be called a blessing for the people and a blessing for the king."

Guo Rong paused for a moment and said, "Then the heroes who came with the gentleman today have no arable land? Why is this? Last year, due to the famine in Youzhou, the number of people flowing into the Central Plains increased. The late emperor specially gave all the land of Guanzhuang camp to the refugees evenly. Registered in all prefectures and counties, except those who commit crimes. Could it be..."

But I was afraid that Guo Rong would have misunderstandings, Fang Changsheng hurriedly explained, "There are a total of 117 people who came with Caomin this time, except for more than 30 who were alone like Caomin, the rest were all people with family members and never committed any violations of the law..."

"Then why there is no land left? Don't you want to be my people and become a citizen of the Central Plains court?" Guo Rong frowned.

"It's not the case." Fang Changsheng hurriedly said: "They also went to the county government for registration, but... but when they were assigned to it, the government said that the camp was not enough to allocate, so they asked them to visit other prefectures and counties..."

Guo Rong thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I will check it out after the triumphant success. The households in Xiangzhou's camp and fields..."

"But..." Fang Changsheng wanted to speak but stopped.

Guo Rong smiled, "Mr. Fang has something to say, but please speak out."

"But according to what Caomin later heard, some county governments took the opportunity to sell the land to create temples with charity men, while others bought the temples themselves to expand the temples, or sold them to the charity men who donated incense at the time..."

"Oh?" Guo Rong's eyes suddenly froze, "Is this really the case?"

If we talk about the creation and expansion of the use of temples to the camp, the Ministry of Revenue and the State Administration of the State Council will give it as appropriate, let alone the temple invested in the purchase, but the temple also sold the fields to good men, the tricks are obviously obvious.

"The people who came with Caomin today have not always been begging in Xiangzhou, including Ci, Zhen, Lu, Yi, Zhao, etc., but have been in the Central Plains for many years." Fang Changsheng said: "I think it is feasible to think that Caomin's proposal is feasible. I came to Xiangzhou to help each other two years ago. Listen to what they said, such things have happened in each state..."

Fang Changsheng went from a beggar leader who was fighting for the territory of begging to the respected "King of Xiangzhou Beggars". It was because he was influenced by Gan Shaolong that he took advantage of refugees and helped the weak and punished the evil.

The evil he punished was not only the offenders who were mixed with refugees, but also some local bullies who bullied the people. After the heroes became famous, some refugees came to him from various states, so they were mostly aware of the people's livelihood in various places. Only when he saw Guo Rong's wise and kindness dared to inform him of this matter.

"I'm not bullying the king..." Guo Rong looked angry and patted the table table. The wine bowl on the table was shaken, and the wine was rippling and overflowing. The eunuch beside him hurriedly took a rag and wiped it.

"Get me a pen and ink..."

Zhang Shoude and others knew that he was acting decisively, but they thought that they would recover Luzhou soon and return to the court. This time, they planned to write an edict to check the matter of someone selling land in the prefecture and county privately, but they seemed too impatient. Looking at Guo Rong with an angry face, Zhang Yongde said: "Please calm down. What Mr. Fang said should be discussed after returning to the court with triumphant success..."

Guo Rong shook his head and said in a silence: "The land is the main body of the people, the land loses the flow of people, the people are the foundation of the country, and the people are the country's foundation. Some people are in a state of chaos and pacification. Sometimes, people are sometimes treated by floods and droughts. However, the abuse of farmland and farming has harmed generations. What Mr. Fang said is better than the urgent need for military situations."

"And it's the triumphant return to the court..." Guo Rong glanced at everyone, stopped on Jiang Qiubai, and smiled, "I want to take advantage of the victory to recover Taiyuan, what do you think of the uncle?"

All the generals were shocked. They didn't expect Guo Rong to plan like this. If this is the best, it would be a time to seize Hedong. But Jiang Qiubai said: "The emperor is wise, I think it can be pursued by the best..."

"The emperor is very talented and wise. We should follow the emperor to recover Taiyuan and capture Liu Ni alive." All the generals stood up and saluted.

"Haha... OK, OK." Guo Rong nodded and smiled.

At this time, the eunuch who was with him had wiped the table clean and spread the paper and grind the ink. Guo Rong pondered for a moment, wrote it and waited for the ink to dry, and then folded it tightly. He turned to Fang Changsheng, "Mr. Fang, if I gave the heroes land and settled the family, would they be willing to serve the court?"

Fang Tangsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and hesitated for a moment: "More than 20 of them should not be willing, and the rest of the people should be persuaded."

Guo Rong was worried about the 6,000 Right Army fled. Now, when he heard that the beggars who dared to fight to the death in the face of more than 10,000 Liao soldiers were willing to join, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, that's the hard work... The more than 20 people who don't want to join the army don't have family members, right?"

"The grass-roots people dare not deceive the king. Most of these twenty people are from families."

"Oh, why don't you want to join the army?" Guo Rong felt strange. If these people join the army as soldiers, they can not only divide the fields and houses at present, but also reduce taxes in the future, and the court will sometimes pay silver for military families.

"These twenty people have followed Caomin for many years and are the leaders of refugees in various prefectures and counties. In ordinary times, they can help Caomin resettle refugees, and there are also people who do evil among the refugees, so they must take action to punish and train them..."

Guo Rong looked at Jiang Qiubai after hearing this, silently spoke for a moment, nodded, and sighed: "There is no peace in all directions. We need brave soldiers and good warriors in front of the formation, and the local government needs officials who can stabilize the people. This move by Mr. Fang is really trying to share the worries and problems with the court...

If a teacher is both civil and military, he is unwilling to be a member of the army. Then I will be able to find a title with the teacher in the prefectures and counties, and take the responsibility of household registration, which will also help the teacher to resettle refugees."

Jiang Qiubai knew that Fang Changsheng's unwillingness to be an official was not the reason for the difference between military officers and civil servants, so he would refuse, so he smiled and said, "Emperor, there are people who commit crimes among the refugees, and most of them were flowing into the Central Plains in various pseudo-dynasties. I think that Mr. Fang's rectification as a refugee leader in the market can involve various prefectures and counties. His performance is actually better than entering the government office in one prefecture and one county... He is actually working for the court in the market."

In this war, there were many deserters from various dynasties. The criminals flowed into the Central Plains. Only Fang Changsheng, who lived at the bottom, could understand their background. Guo Rong felt that what Jiang Qiubai said was reasonable, and then he was overjoyed. "What the uncle said was very true. Well, listen to Zhao Kuangyi's words. Mr. Fang was called the "King of the Beggars in Xiangzhou"... Then I would give Mr. Wang the title of "The leader of the Beggars in Liu" and punish the evildoers who educated and begged for a living to escape the law... What does Mr. Fang think?"

Fang Changsheng was happy when he heard this. As the leader of the refugee who begs for a living, he was already happy with it. He was like a monk who was ordained and had no intention of returning to the secular world. However, he wanted to go from being called "Sangzhou Beggar King" to the emperor's title of "Beggar Sect leader" to the emperor's imperial title.

I also thought that there were many beggars in each dynasty and each competed for their own territory. Now I received the title of the emperor, and I was in trouble in the future. But I heard Jiang Qiubai smile and said, "Using Mr. Fang's dragon-subduing palm technique to punish and educate those evil beggars who are mixed with refugees, it is more than enough to deserve the title of the leader of the Beggars' Sect."

Fang Changsheng couldn't help but be proud all his life, and stood up and bowed to him, "That grass people are disrespectful, thank the emperor for giving him a name..."

"Mr. Fang, please come up, haha..." Guo Rong laughed.

Zhang Yongde and others felt that the title was shocking, but they wanted to say nothing about it. Everyone looked at each other and smiled at Fang Changsheng, who had stood up and returned to their seats, said, "Congratulations to the leader of the Fang Gang..."

"Congratulations to Mr. Fang..."

"As the words of Master and Mr. Fang, there are many vulnerable refugees who are begging now. I have conferred the title of "The Leader of the Beggars' Sect". I only hope to be able to act with the teacher easily, but not above the law." Guo Rong paused for a moment and smiled and said, "When the world is peaceful, I will remove the title of "The Leader of the Beggars' Sect". At that time... I will give the title of "Mr. Qingping", haha..."

But I think some stubborn evildoers have already mixed up with refugees, and they may kill others when punished. Guo Rong's implied meaning, Fang Changsheng could understand it, and he was shocked and hurriedly said: "The people who are in trouble will never ignore the laws of the Great Zhou. If there are people who commit crimes who are mixed up with refugees, they will definitely deal with them with the government office. If there is a grudge in the world, the people who are... they will deal with it by themselves."

"Okay, okay." Guo Rong nodded slowly as if he felt something, "Mr. Fang is really not to deceive me..."

Even in the peaceful and prosperous times, the fight caused by grievances in the world is sometimes difficult to restrict. Guo Rongshi went out of Taibai Academy and knew that if Wu Wangbo, Chu Nanfeng and others were fighting grievances in the world, how could the government be able to stop it? The government would not know the inside story. With a bitter smile in his heart, he would appreciate Fang Changsheng's honesty that he could speak out directly.

Looking at Chang Qingqing sitting behind Luo Xiaoyao, Guo Rong smiled and waved, "Qingqing, come here..."

Chang Qingqing was a little surprised, but also walked towards Guo Rong with a calm expression, and stood beside him at the left of Guo Rong.

"I met Zhang Yuanzheng's attack at the battle. If Qingqing had not used a poisonous snake and caused him to lose his hooves, I might have been hurt by him. Qingqing not only made contributions to rescue the emperor, but also greatly boosted the morale of our army and turned defeat into victory. It was an indispensable contribution."

Guo Rong's eyes turned to Changshan, stopped for a moment, turned to Chang Qingqing and pondered: "I want to give Qingqing the princess with my military achievements. What do you think?"

Although Zhang Yuanhui had not lost his hooves before the horse, he would have hurt Guo Rong. Seeing Chang Qingqing, who had just been in his prime, could use poisonous snakes in the face of chaos, Guo Rong was naturally amazed at her calm mind and calmness in the face of change.

I originally wanted to accept her as my adopted daughter, but I thought that Changshan and she were brothers and sisters, and Changshan was his uncle. Even if Chang Qingqing was adopted as his imperial sister, it would be contrary to etiquette, so I gave her a title with military merits.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Guo Rong accepted Chang Qingqing as his sister and adopted daughter and was granted the title of Princess. Many generals did not know that because of Changshan's seniority, Guo Rong was granted the title of military achievements. He was surprised for a moment and did not dare to answer.

Guo Rongzi would not explain the reason, and looked at Jiang Qiubai and smiled and said, "Uncle Master, is it feasible if he granted his military merits?"

If it were not for the royal family, the daughters of princes, generals and ministers who had outstanding military achievements could be given this title. Jiang Qiubai knew that Guo Rong had granted Chang Qingqing the princess as a princess, but he wanted to give favor to Taibai Academy and lay the foundation for recruiting college students such as Changshan and Meng Xiaohu in the future.

But if you want to directly grant the title of Princess for your military achievements, although it is feasible, there is no precedent to follow. Jiang Qiubai was also unable to answer for a while, so he looked at Chang Qingqing, "The emperor is kind, I think it is feasible, but I don't know if Qingqing is willing..."

When Guo Rong heard that he seemed to agree, he pushed the decision to Chang Qingqing, and was stunned. He thought that Jiang Qiubai should be scrupled, and he was afraid that he would criticize the officials. So he smiled and said a few whispers to Chang Qingqing, who was surprised, but when Chang Qingqing smiled suddenly, he walked to the case and leaned over and kneeled down and said: "Thank you, the emperor."

Jiang Qiubai, Fang Changsheng, and Elder Luo Xiaoyao and Fu all had the cultivation level of Dan, but when they heard Guo Rong whispering to her, they couldn't help looking at each other. It turned out that Guo Rong said, "You become the princess, Mr. Fang will help you. I will give you another mansion and you, and your brother and Xiaohu will have a place to stay in the future."

If it were a mansion or something, Chang Qingqing didn't care. After her parents were killed, she followed Gan Shaolong and followed Gan Shaolong. Fang Changsheng saw the miserable days of beggars and refugees around her. He knew that letting refugees and beggars live a stable life was the wish of his adoptive father Gan Shaolong. Fang Changsheng, but he knew that if he became a princess, he could indeed help Fang Changsheng many things. He was happy to answer when he heard this.

Seeing Chang Qingqing agreeing, Guo Rong laughed, paused for a moment, and pondered: "Well, what title should be given? Gao Ping, Gao Ping... Well, I will take Princess Gaoping as the title. What do you think? It should be recorded in the difficulty of this battle... The soldiers and generals were brave enough to kill the enemy in blood, and the Right Army was angry at the fleeing."

Gaoping is only a county system. If you say that you give the title of Chang Qingqing under the name of the place, you can only be called the county lord. However, Guo Rong did not mention the fiefdom, but you can give the title in the name of remembering the war. Everyone looked at each other and stood up to salute Chang Qingqing, "I have seen the princess..."

The court etiquette is of great importance. The so-called heaven, earth, king, and teacher. When Fang Changsheng saw Jiang Qiubai, he also stood up and bowed, but he was shocked by the calm Chang Qingqing and hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, "No, no..."

Everyone laughed when they saw this. Guo Rong picked up the wine bowl in front of him and stood up. "Today, it is up to all the soldiers to fight for their courage. But Liu Ci is still pursuing Yu Kou. Gao Ping has not recovered yet. When he arrives in Gaoping City tomorrow, he will celebrate the victory with all the soldiers. Now I have done this wine with all the ministers to toast the heroes and martyrs in the battle..."

When everyone heard this, they bent over and held the bowl with their eyebrows, paused their heads and drank the wine. Guo Rong put down the bowl, "There is still a war tomorrow, so I will discuss it again until Gaoping. Today, I will be tired, so I will go back to the camp to rest... Uncle Master, Xiaoyao, you two are here for the time being, I have something to talk about."

Everyone looked at each other and left. Guo Rong looked at Luo Xiaoyao and said, "There are no outsiders here. Don't be known as the grass-roots people. I originally wanted to give you a gift for your military achievements... Alas, it's hard to say what I want."

He knew that Luo Xiaoyao was as indifferent to fame and fortune as Chu Nanfeng, and was able to help him, but because he was taught by Taibai Academy, he never rewarded Luo Xiaoyao in front of his ministers such as Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin.

Luo Xiaoyao and Jiang Qiubai looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

"But I think Junior Brother Luo is not helping me for glory and wealth, but let me know how precious friendship is." Guo Rongzhan smiled, pondered for a moment and said, "I have something I want to help me, but I don't know if my junior brother is willing..."

"Prince, please tell me that Xiaoyao can do your best."

"I just heard what Mr. Fang said... Some officials colluded with temples and sold privately when the late emperor gave the refugees' land. I was deeply worried."

Guo Rong said slowly: "I want to investigate this matter in detail, but officials will inevitably leak information in the court, so they want to conduct secret investigations, so they will punish those who are corrupt in the king's law.

However, if Mr. Fang is placed at the bottom of the people, it is difficult to know the truth behind the scenes... The Tongbao Pavilion silver account is spread all over the states, and the people who come and go to the silver account are either rich or noble. If you know it secretly, it is easy to think about it. Therefore, I want my junior brother to ask Uncle Luo to help and save a lot of time."

Luo Xiaoyao never thought that Guo Rong asked him to use Tongbao Pavilion's connections to investigate the private sale of the camp. But he knew that if he used Tongbao Pavilion's power, Guo Rong's plan would be twice the result with half the effort, but he didn't know how Luo Hanshui thought. Although Luo Xiaoyao was willing to help Guo Rong punish corrupt officials and benefit the people, he did not dare to agree at once, and said, "Xiaoyao should tell his father to know about the benevolence of the emperor."

Guo Rong heard his answer and seemed to have insufficient confidence, and hesitated for a moment: "Then I will write another letter to Mr. Luo..."

Jiang Qiubai continued to say: "The loss of cultivated land will cause endless disasters. I think Senior Brother Luo is very wise and will know the severity of the matter after he tells you freely."

But after Luo Xiaoyao told me, he would persuade him with letters, or he would be suspected of despising Luo Hanshui's views and morality. Guo Rong heard what Jiang Qiubai said, and nodded, "Shi Zhenzong, a saint, was a wonderful way to help the world to persuade good, and his benefits were very good. However, some monks and nuns took evil in crimes, privately concealed evil in temples, and saw that the law was not there... Now he has occupied fertile land and created cultivation, expanded temples, and set the people to live in peace. It is contrary to the teachings and laws, and the evil can be seen."

"If it weren't for his moral virtue of preaching and admonishing good deeds, wouldn't the court's good land be granted the construction of temples? Now, there are even young and strong people who fled to the army and hid in it. Now they dare to collude with officials and occupy good land, and their faults are hard to forgive... This is a violation, and it should not make evil deeds become popular, ignorant of the people, and weaken our country's strength."

"Therefore, this secret investigation... I will find out these temples that are in the name of promoting Buddhism, despising national laws and harming the people." Guo Rong said coldly: "At that time, we will investigate and deal with corrupt officials and evil circles..."

Jiang Qiubai also knew that many temples had hosted evil people who committed criminal laws in various dynasties, and also allowed some people who fled to fight for military affairs to hide in the temple. He knew that this was awesome. He heard Guo Rong intends to rectify it and supported him very much. "Xiaoyao, this matter is quite important. You can also tell Senior Brother Chu what the emperor said and let him discuss it with your father..."

"Master?" Luo Xiaoyao said suspiciously: "Master is in Fairy Lake..."

When Luo Xiaoyao heard that he had specially searched for Chu Nanfeng to meet Luo Hanshui and discussed the matter of officials and temples occupying the fields privately.

"Senior Brother Chu is in Bianjing's division pavilion." Jiang Qiubaigang met Luo Xiaoyao, and had not told him about the injury of Chu Nanfeng and Zhiguang's fight. Looking at Luo Xiaoyao's confusion, he smiled and said, "And your father must be in Bianjing too."

Chu Nanfeng said that he would probably go into seclusion for half a month to heal his injuries. At the same time, he made an appointment with Luo Hanshui to meet at the branch palace. It was just ten days later, so Jiang Qiubai concluded that Luo Hanshui should also be in Kaifeng City.

"Oh? Father is in Kaifeng?" Luo Xiaoyao was even more surprised when he heard this.

"The reason... you will know when you go." Jiang Qiubai smiled slightly.

"It's uncle." But seeing that Jiang Qiubai had no intention of telling him, Luo Xiaoyao did not dare to ask.

Guo Rong's thoughts moved, and asked the eunuchs to polish the ink, took the pen and wrote a letter of folding, merged the original written letter, and handed it to Luo Xiaoyao, saying: "The junior brother can bring Qingqing and two junior uncles back to Bianjing tomorrow, and handed it to Wang Pu, the minister of the Secretariat... let him act according to the letter."

Instead, he said to Jiang Qiubai: "Wang Pu is calm and pragmatic. I asked him to send someone to check the ratio of the land to the households he left on that day, to see which prefecture and county is very different, and to check the wastelands of the prefecture and county at the same time... When he conquers Hedong, a large number of refugees will surely pour in. When he finds out the data, Mr. Fang can guide the refugees to open up land and farm, and the court will give priority to the Jigu planting..."

"Let's find a house near Kaifeng government office to repair Qingqing as the princess's residence. If Mr. Fang needs money and property, he can ask Qingqing to tell me. However, if there is a silver deposit for refugees during the conquest and recovery of Taiyuan, he can ask Qingqing to give it to Wang Pu as appropriate. I have already told him in the compromise... Alas, this is justified, and the number of money and two will be very difficult for Mr. Fang."

Jiang Qiubai admired Guo Rong's meticulous actions and his decision to deal with things. However, he knew that the court spent a lot of money on the battles. This time, the resettlement of refugees and land reclamation and farming was also a big expense. Guo Rong was unwilling to add more money to the people. The word "despite" in his words was already difficult to support his financial resources. He thought it was like he looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "About the emperor's words and Mr. Fang's future moves, we should talk about this matter with your father..."

Luo Xiaoyao naturally understood what he meant. He thought that Tongbao Pavilion wanted to provide assistance to the people. He also saw the suffering of the people when he was helping the people in Zhenzhou. However, if it were not for the limited financial resources of the court, Jiang Qiubai would not be able to remind him verbally.

If he is asked to join the army to kill the enemy, it may not be agreed, but it is feasible to say that it is helpful to the people. He smiled and said, "If the uncle of the master doesn't tell you, Xiaoyao will also tell his father..."
Chapter completed!
