Chapter 1544 Palace Examination

It is said that young people do not know the taste of sorrow.

However, this statement does not seem to apply to Qi Yan.

In the past, whenever Qi Yan saw Shen Nianci, he would run over to play with her.

But today, Qi Yanlian was listless when playing with Shen Nianci.

Bloodline is something really magical sometimes.

Qiyan came to their place when he was only three years old. After so many years, he only met Luntai once.

But just this one meeting made the child miss his father forever.

Before this, he thought Qi Yan couldn't recite because he was not cut out for studying.

But now, he understood the crux of Qi Yan's inability to recite.

Perhaps, in his heart, Yun Cang, Yun Jin and Yun Jie are all children with fathers, but he is a child without a father.

Yun Zheng was sitting in the back garden of the Shen residence, watching the children playing together, and he couldn't help but think silently in his heart.

"what happened?"

Shen Luoyan came behind Yun Zheng and naturally put her arms around his neck from behind. "You have been so worried all this time. Have you thought of something so difficult?"

"It's really a bit difficult!"

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "Tell me, should I let Qi Yan go back?"

"what?"

Shen Luoyan turned her head and looked at Yun Zheng in surprise, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

Yun Zheng lowered his eyebrows and told Shen Luoyan what Qi Yan had said to him.

After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but think about it.

After thinking for a while, Shen Luoyan took the lead in giving his opinion: "Personally speaking, I think we should definitely let him go!"

"After all, this is not his home. He is getting older and may start to feel like a dependent."

"In your opinion, I don't think we should let him go back. Maybe it would be better to let him stay in Daqian for a few more years."

She knew in her heart that Yun Zheng came up with this idea largely out of consideration for Jia Yao's face.

Of course, because Yun Zheng is also a father, he may understand the pain of separation from his children better.

Yun Zheng leaned back slightly, changed to a more comfortable position, and smiled: "In fact, from the moment we found the saltpeter mine, it doesn't matter whether he is the proton or not."

Beihuan, it's time to sing and dance.

In the past, they took the path of repression.

Now, perhaps we can start taking a conciliatory approach.

Of course, this appeasement is limited, not blind indulgence.

Shen Luoyan thought about it again, and then suggested: "Perhaps, you can go and ask your father what he thinks."

"He definitely won't let it go."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, then shook his head, "Forget it, let's wait and see next year!"

It’s already autumn!

In the blink of an eye, this year is over.

When we fight against Yu Country next year, let Luntai and the others come along!

Seeing that Yun Zheng had made a decision, Shen Luoyan didn't say anything more.

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng waved to Qi Yan to come over.

"Next year, I'll take you to the grassland to see Dad, okay?"

Yun Zheng rubbed Qi Yan's head and asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Qi Yan nodded repeatedly, with deep longing in his eyes.

Looking at Qi Yan's appearance, Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan couldn't help but smile at each other.

……

When Yun Zheng has free time, time seems to pass especially quickly.

Before we knew it, the day of the palace examination was approaching.

But he has not yet decided on the topic of the palace examination.

Although Yun Zheng was lazy, he still took this palace examination very seriously.

He did have some ideas about the questions for the palace examination.

But he was also worried that the questions he asked were too advanced for people of that time and that the scholars would have no way of answering them.

But if we just give a random question, it seems that the meaning of adding a special subject is lost.

Yun Zheng rubbed his head, stood up and walked out of the study.

When I came outside, the leaves in the yard had turned yellow and fallen, indicating that the year was about to pass.

In the yard, servants were sweeping up fallen leaves.

A few little kids appeared to be helping to sweep the fallen leaves, but they were actually making trouble.

Yun Cang and his two younger sisters were rolling around in the pile of fallen leaves. The palace maids serving on the side had just helped them up, but they ran up and started rolling around again.

Yun Zheng smiled and was about to tell the palace maid to leave the three little brats alone when Ye Zi came over quickly.

"An urgent report came from Qin Qihu!"

Ye Zi stepped forward and handed the letter in her hand to Yun Zheng.

"Oh?"

Yun Zheng took it and quickly opened the letter.

Qin Qihu's handwriting is not much better than Yun Zheng's, and it looks quite laborious.

Also, there are a few typos in it.

Yun Zheng suspected that Qin Qihu had put all his skill points into fighting power.

But even so, after reading the contents of the letter, Yun Zheng still smiled and showed the letter to Ye Zi again.

Ye Zi took the letter and read it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Evil people will have their own way!

Qin Qihu forcibly relocated nearly 70,000 people from a large Lu clan.

The patriarch of the Lu family clamored that he would take people to the imperial city to petition, but Qin Qihu only replied: No need to go in person, I will bring your head to the imperial city and let you petition slowly!

Afterwards, Qin Qihu forcefully killed the patriarch of the Lu clan on the pretext of disobeying the imperial order, and also killed several people who had caused more trouble.

Now, the people of the Lu family have learned their lesson and are preparing for the migration.

Their only wish is to wait until the weather warms up next year before migrating.

Now, Qin Qihu is undecided and writes to Yun Zheng to ask whether to relocate the people of the Lu family immediately or wait until the beginning of spring next year.

"What do you mean here?"

Ye Zi asked Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "According to the original plan, we will migrate all of them after the autumn harvest when there is not much to do!"

"Would you like to think about it again?"

Ye Zi frowned and said, "Winter is here in the blink of an eye. It's okay for wealthy families, but poor families probably don't even have decent clothes. Migrating in winter, I'm afraid many people will die along the way..."

With so many people migrating, there is no suitable place to live.

If we ask various places along the way to prepare resettlement places for them in advance, it would be too time-consuming and costly.

"That's true."

Yun Zheng nodded slightly, thought for a while again, and instructed Ye Zi: "Write back to Qin Qihu and relocate all the core members of the Lu family first! The rest of the people will be relocated after the weather warms up!"

"Also, let Qin Qihu spread the rumor that as long as the rest of the people behave well, they don't have to migrate!"

Correct!

The topic of the palace examination is how to better relocate the people and minimize casualties along the way!

In the next few years, population migration will definitely be a big event!

Those who perform outstandingly in the palace examination can do this first.

This can also be considered as experience!

Suddenly, the problem that troubled Yun Zheng was solved...
