Chapter 81: Chaos in Chang'an

"Congratulations to General, I'm happy to have Lin'er!" When Ye Zhao hurried back to the cavalry mansion, he saw several peaceful wives coming up and said with a smile: "Have peace from mother and son."

"Son?" Ye Zhao felt a little heavy when he heard this.

When I made an appointment with Cai Yong, Cai Yan's first child was to be with Cai Yong's surname to continue the incest of the Cai family. In Ye Zhao's expectation, this child would be better off as a daughter, so that he would have an explanation with Cai Yong and he would not have to make things difficult for him.

But now that Cai Yan gave birth to a son, Ye Zhao had to consider some things.

Inheriting the Cai family's incense means that the child has just been born and his future has basically been decided. A hundred years later, this child will not be able to inherit Ye Zhao's foundation.

"Thank you all for your hard work, go and receive the reward." This thought was just a moment of twisting in your mind, but Ye Zhao didn't show too much emotion on his face, and he smiled and said to the rest of his wife.

"Here, General!" Several gentlemen ran to the account office of the Cavalry Mansion to receive the reward.

Ye Zhao strode into the room.

Cai Yong has arrived, and is now holding the baby and teasing her with a smile on her face. Looking at Cai Yong's appearance, Ye Zhao's heart suddenly became much calmer. His mentor and father-in-law have rarely smiled since last year.

"See father-in-law." Ye Zhao bowed to Cai Yong and said.

"Go and see Yan'er." Cai Yong nodded. The dissatisfaction with Ye Zhao had dissatisfied with Ye Zhao because of Ye Zhao's various behaviors of plotting against the royal family had dissipated a lot at this moment.

"Ye Zhao nodded and walked to the edge of the bed. Cai Yan was a little weak and his clothes were still a little scattered. Ye Zhao gently tidied up the clothes on his chest: "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

"I'm not working hard." The hair on the temples was already wet with sweat, and it was pressed against the face. The pale face was now less quiet than the past, more maternal tenderness, and more mature charm.

Ye Zhao reached out to help Cai Yan up and blocked him in his arms.

"Husband... is dirty..." Cai Yan was in front of her father. Even though she had always been relatively pure and had no desires, she couldn't help feeling shy at this moment.

I just finished giving birth and there was a strong smell of amniotic fluid and a faint fishy smell on my body, which was really not very pleasant.

"It's okay!" Ye Zhao shook his head with a smile, looked up at Cai Yong and said, "I promised my father-in-law that my first son with Zhao Ji was changed to the surname Cai. Now this child is the grandson of my father-in-law. I wonder if my father-in-law had ever thought of his name?"

"Thinking!" Cai Yong smiled and looked at the child in his arms, thinking, "There are rumors about the Shangshu, and the benefits of the humbleness will be beneficial. The benefits will be merciless. The Lu family said in the spring and autumn that their family will benefit, and their body will be prosperous, and there is also..."

Cai Yong quoted the scriptures for a long time and smiled and said, "What do you think Xiuming thinks?"

Cai Yi? Ye Zhao didn't feel anything. His son couldn't change his name. However, Cai Yong was happy. Ye Zhao naturally wouldn't miss Cai Yong's intentions, and nodded and smiled, "It's very good."

"Husband..." Cai Yan looked at Ye Zhao with some concern. The woman was more sensitive and could feel Ye Zhao's mood at this moment, not as happy as she appeared.

"It's okay." Ye Zhao hugged Cai Yan and whispered: "In a few years, my wife will be in good health. We want another one."

"Yeah." Cai Yan nodded gently. The ancients attached great importance to the continued incense of future generations. It was rare to have a son, but his father used him to inherit the incense of the Cai family. This was not a good thing for Cai Yan.

Ye Zhao and Cai Yan's first son followed the surname Cai. Many people under Ye Zhao's command had complaints. After all, Ye Zhao's son inherited the family business in the future, how could he change his surname? However, Ye Zhao already had a son. Although there were some complaints about this, no one really came to persuade him. This is Ye Zhao's family background. However, some people sighed about Ye Zhao's generous virtues, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for this son. Since he changed the surname Cai, he would inherit the Cai family's legacy in the future. In other words, the child had cut off the opportunity to become Ye Zhao's heir since he was born. This is really regrettable, and many people secretly said that Cai Yong didn't know anything.

After all, even if Ye Zhao and Cai Yan are in love, it is impossible to guarantee that they will have another son. Ye Zhao is now a prince and may even be crowned king in the future. Cai Yan's position as a wife is slightly lower than that of the official wife. Now that his son has been changed, it is unlikely that he will fight with the princess in the future.

On that day, Ye Zhao held a banquet in the mansion, invited his civil and military personnel to celebrate Lin'er's birth. Even if he changed his surname, he would still be his own flesh and blood. The connection between bloodlines cannot be separated.

This can be considered as a result/After the harvest, another happy event.

The end of the year is approaching. For most people in Shu, this year may be the most prosperous idea in their lives. Ye Zhao's agricultural tax of 20% plus the magical effect of manure. As long as he is not too lazy, the people in Shu can be said to have no need to worry about starving in winter. After selecting high-quality seeds, the remaining food will be enough for them to live a prosperous harvest next year.

Although Ye Zhao's entry into Sichuan was short, the people's support for the new leader of Yizhou was far more than before.

In October, the General's Mansion issued another official document, and the people could use money and grain to exchange for a calf or chicken to raise it. The government also specially helped explain how to raise these animals to achieve the highest efficiency. In addition, various workshops have also begun to take advantage of the harvest this year to promote various new agricultural tools, iron hoes, and improved curved wood plows, sickles, and seeds.

In short, after a year of precipitation, the vendors who established workshops in Shu began to make efforts, and after the people had abundant surplus grain, the consumption level also began to rise.

Although the price of cattle is relatively high, some people with good harvests still grit their teeth and buy one or two heads, or use them to breed and sell them next year, or want to domesticate them into plowing ox to reduce the burden of farming.

The Shuzhong market still has enough potential to be explored, and Ye Zhao is not in a hurry to communicate with the outside world. After the cycle in Shuzhong is saturated, Ye Zhao will consider starting to open up private trade on a large scale with Shuzhong. Now it is just a caravan formed by Ye Zhao to trade and buy some scarce resources that Shuzhong does not have, such as iron, salt, etc. This is also one of the reasons why Ye Zhao is willing to maintain friendly diplomacy with Guanzhong. Before he is ready to leave Shu, Ye Zhao needs a stable trade environment.

In fact, it was not just Guanzhong. When he married Cai Yan, Ye Zhao had already joined the line with the Jingzhou family through Kuai Yue. Although he did not reach a completely agreement like Guanzhong, the Jingzhou gentry would not make things difficult for him for some ordinary trade exchanges.

However, compared to the stability and peace in Shuzhong, Guanzhong is a different situation.

In July, Wang Yun continued to suppress and coerce, and finally completely angered the Xiliang generals such as Li Jue and Guo Si in desperate situations. More than 100,000 Xiliang troops counterattacked Chang'an, but at that time the garrison in Chang'an was less than 30,000. Even if there were peerless generals like Lu Bu, they were powerless to turn things around. In the end, Lu Bu led his troops to break through, and Wang Yun jumped off the city wall in desperate situation and ended his life.

Chang'an has since fallen into the control of the Western Liang Army, and the Western Liang Army only knows how to destroy but not govern. After losing the constraints of the court, it began to rage in the Sanfu Land like a wild horse that broke away from reins. A large number of people fled to Shu to take refuge, which is also a reason for the huge increase in the population in Shu this year.

By now, Wang Yun's remnants have basically been wiped out by Li Guo and the others, but the Jingzhao land has basically been beaten and destroyed.

Li Ru sat upright behind the desk, frowned and recorded some important expenses and inputs. The more he recorded the record, the more he felt bored.

Li Jue and Guo Si lacked enough counselors to help them, so they found Li Ru and asked Li Ru to help govern. However, after this battle in Chang'an and the entire Guanzhong, after this battle, it was no longer Chang'an that Dong Zhuo used to be. The people rushed to escape, either to seek refuge, or to go south to Jingxiang, and some ran to the Central Plains.

In just a few months, the population that Dong Zhuo had worked hard to migrate from Sili has been almost exhausted, and with this momentum, more people will leave next year.

It was a good thing that the Xiliang army counterattacked Chang'an and retake the emperor, but now Chang'an is no longer the Chang'an when Dong Zhuo was alive.

"Sir, there is a woman outside the door asking for a visit and telling her that she is old friend." The guards looked at Li Ru with a strange look. These guards were all Li Jue. Guo Si sent people to protect Li Ru, saying that they were protecting, but in fact they were more to monitor Li Ru's whereabouts.

"Woman? An old friend?" Li Ru raised her head in shock when she heard this, and looked at the guard and said, "What do you think?"

"This woman is masked with a hat, so she can't see clearly, but her voice is still good." The guard smiled a little, making people want to step on that face.

"Have you ever left your name?" Li Ru asked instead of tacting with the guards.

"I only said that my surname was Zhang, and I also said that I would know what I said to you." The guard bowed and said.

"..." Li Ru looked at the guard speechlessly. The surname Zhang was a big surname. He knew a lot of surname Zhang. Who knew which one was?

"Call her in." Li Ru nodded and rubbed her temples with some headaches.

Now his freedom has been restricted by Li Jue and Guo Si. He cannot leave even if he wants to leave in a short period of time.

Soon, the guard came in with a woman in black robe. After the guard left, the woman took off the hat on her head, revealing a hideous bronze mask, and said to Li Ru: "I have met Mr. Wenyou until the last general Zhang Yue."

The moment the woman took off her hat, Li Ru was shocked. It was not that she recognized this woman, but that she recognized this bronze mask. There was always a woman wearing a bronze mask with green face and fangs beside Ye Zhao. It seems that Ye Zhao's hand had reached Guanzhong?
