1.3 Tribute Completion

"This, this, what does this mean?" Zuo Feng asked in a trembling voice.

Geng Yong smiled and saluted: "My lord said that when the last time the middle servant came to announce the reinstatement of the lord, he said that he needed to make up the two hundred and eighty-three years of gold. At that time, it was calculated according to the fiefdom every year, and every 1,000 people needed to pay a tribute of four taels. As seen by the internal officials, although Lousang is narrow, there are many people. I majored in canals and fields, and recruited displaced people. There were more than 20,000 people in Shiyi. According to the 'Golden Law', a population of 20,000 people must pay a tribute of 80 taels per year. Now there is a difference of twenty-one thousand five hundred and eighty taels, counting: one thousand three hundred and forty-five horseshoe gold cakes. ”

"Goo-dong!" Zuo Feng swallowed a big saliva, and his eyes were full of bloodshots: "Could it be the young prince and the marquis......"

"Yes, yes." Geng Yong nodded happily: "My lord said, please stay for a while." After the gold is replenished, bring it back with you. ”

"Huh-" Zuo Feng let out a long breath, and unconsciously burst into tears: "I heard that the young prince and the marquis are light on wealth and righteousness, and it is the Han family that descends from the sky." Many old things, slaves and maids, are all believed today. ”

Geng Yong saluted again: "My lord also said that when he went south to quell the chaos, there were local heroes and tens of thousands of servants, and only ten people were reported; Thousands of good fields, but they lied about 100 acres of thin fields. What a tax on ink greed! If the whole world is like this, it is a fraud to donate. My Majesty takes food from the people, and how poor he is. Even if my lord smashes pots and sells iron, he will make His Majesty eat and sleep well. ”

What else can Zuo Feng do. And they bowed to the east. It is the direction of Houfu.

After another three days, Geng Yong came again.

It is said that only 500 horseshoe gold pieces were raised. The rest of the gold will be found in another way.

500 gold is a huge amount of money! Far exceeded Zuo Feng's expectations. What's more, 1,345 horseshoe gold cakes, with the character of a young prince, will be true to his word. Zuo Feng hurried back to invite Gong, how could he stay longer. Then he said, "It doesn't matter. The rest of the gold, when the young prince and marquis are gathered, the slaves and maids will come again. Well...... Let's ask, does the young prince have anything to say to the slave and maid to bring to Your Majesty? ”

That's what I'm waiting for.

Geng Yong bowed with a long bow: "My lord said, Fengyi... Moist and need to be taken care of by hand. And everything has to be reported to the county, which is quite inconvenient. 'Dare to ask Your Majesty if you can give the minister 'the right to make decisions' and make the minister act cheaply.' ”

It's more than wet. It's clearly a piece of white, and there is no other inch of land!

The princes of the court acted like this, which made the loyal ministers and righteous people so chilled!

Zuo Feng couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into.

After all, young. The righteousness is righteous, so he patted his chest and said: "If you step down and return to the young prince, you will say that the slave and maid have received great grace and cannot be repaid." If it doesn't work out, come and see you! ”

"Thank you, Officer!" Geng Yong knelt on the ground and bowed. When he was helped up by Zuo Feng, he took out a box from his sleeve and whispered: "This is obtained by the young monarch Hou Pingchao, and the right is a thank you gift." ”

Zuo Feng pretended to excuse himself and accepted it.

Waiting for Geng Yong to say goodbye, he turned sideways and opened it to take a look. The five brilliant Hepu beads almost blinded their eyes.

Hepu Zhu is also worthy of the name!

When you come, you can ride a few bicycles and walk in a long convoy. The young prince and marquis ordered Cui Ba and Xu Rong to escort them all the way with fifty dragon horses and return to Luoyang.

Zuo Feng felt Liu Bei's kindness, bowed to the ground, and returned with tears.

A few days after leaving, heavy snow fell.

Liu Bei's edict sealed the marquis of Linxiang, and it has already spread throughout the city. The merchant sighed. The middle school students were indignant. It is the people in the city, quite a lot of nature. Without it, trust Liu Bei. In the past, Lousang was just a small village that no one cared about, but it has only been a few years, and it has been prosperous. Rich and envious of others.

Born Liu Sandun.

With the young monarch and the marquis, there is nothing to be afraid of!

The history books say that this place is overly anointed, and it is more than 50 miles. There is Pize, and the branch canal is connected in four ways.

The hill in the middle has been found by the people. It's like an island. The four branches were all destroyed by the flood. No trace can be found.

Liu Bei's method is very simple. First in the middle of the hills, around the embankment to scoop water. After drying the hills, build a house camp in a circle, and then take another boat to and from Lousang to pick up and drop off craftsmen. In this way, a long embankment to retain water is built around the ring, such as a vertical and horizontal Qianmo, and only need to scrape out the water in the polder, which can turn harm into benefit.

The weather is cold. Bai Ze gradually froze, and boats could not pass.

After the ice freezes, the carriage and horses are feasible.

The sled is also not complicated. Liu Bei painted it well, and it was easily made by Su Bo.

Dukang ditch is the artificially dug southward Juma river. It is the first flood. Just build a long causeway along this ditch to prevent the river from flooding, and follow the channel to the downstream. The flood is self-relieving.

This ditch was built by the Yan people during the Warring States Period, which was more than 50 miles long and has a history of 1,000 years. In the former Han Dynasty, floods were frequent, which broke the embankment and flooded the fertile land, and the people fled. The canal overflows, and lies between Zhuoxian and Fangcheng. The water accumulated for hundreds of miles and turned into wild land. It also becomes a natural dividing line around several counties. As a result, there are no fixed boundaries in the surrounding counties.

Soon after Zuo Feng left, Liu Bei received a handwritten letter from Cui Tingwei.

That's when we learned more.

It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor originally wanted to give Fangcheng County to Liu Bei. The military merits are enough, and he only needs to attach another 100 million yuan to pay a tribute, and he will be named the Marquis of Fangcheng County. As a result, the three princes and the four governments all jumped out to oppose it.

Not for military merit, only for contributions.

Isn't this a disguised traitor?

This wind must not last long. Where Liu Bei sealed, it became unimportant. The focus of the wrestling between the three princes and the four mansions and the emperor is the contribution. As soon as this example is opened, the world will be chaotic. If you pay such a large contribution, how many people in the world can afford it.

In the long run, political affairs have fallen into the hands of the powerful and powerful. The community is in danger. The national disaster is not far away!

The three princes and four mansions, citing scriptures, also moved out of the ancestral family law, and fought on the basis of reason.

This annoyed His Majesty, who was obsessed with money. Angrily asked, where do you say it is sealed!

The map of the court is more detailed than in Liu Bei's hands. The three dukes took a cursory look at it, and then went to the countryside a little: you can seal the township. The move of the third prince also has the intention of saving His Majesty's face. After all, this place is not far from Fangcheng. His Majesty summoned a priest to take a closer look. Fang knew that Linxiang had been withdrawn, and the land was incorporated into the neighboring counties, which could not be defined. That's why Liu Bei said that he would enclose the land by himself.

This is the cause and effect of the whole event. Of course, there may be a secret in the forbidden world that 'can't be said to outsiders', but it is no longer known to Cui Tingwei.

The Marquis of Fang Cheng is the equivalent of the Marquis of Wucheng.

My Majesty has this intention, and it can be regarded as a favor. Although there is a donation fee of 100 million yuan. But as far as Liu Bei is concerned, there is no pressure to pay in installments. Most likely, His Majesty will agree. The marquis of a county can be called a marquis country. The foundation of Fangcheng County must be much better than that of Linxiang in the barren land.

I'm afraid that according to the map, the princes who are looking for Ji do not know that the Linxiang City has already been destroyed by the flood. There is only one place name left.

By such a mistake, Liu Bei became a victim of the wrestling between the emperor and the three dukes. From a veritable county marquis, it has become a nominal township.

At least, that's how Cui Tingwei sees it. Therefore, there are a lot of feelings in the letter, such as "meritorious service is not rewarded" and "chilling the world".

Of course. There is self-knowledge of suffering, and there is self-knowledge of happiness. named Liu Bei as a marquis of Linxiang, and let him enclose the land by himself. If you can give him the 'right to decide' again, you can act cheaply.

It's not a blessing.
