Chapter 166: This prince is not good
This chapter is extremely short.
Liu Chengyou's first day as the crown prince was very busy and fulfilling. Even if he had already assisted in governing the government before, the impact and experience brought about by the change of identity and the establishment of the relationship between the monarch and the minister were completely different. Out of the protocol house, to the government hall, before taking a break, the officials reported, the envoy of King Yan and Lu Longjin asked to see.
For the people from Youzhou, Liu Chengyou naturally attached great importance to them, and summoned them without thinking. The person who came was the judge of Youzhou Jiedu, who came with the mission of Zhao Yanshou, Liu Chengyou greeted him warmly, treated him with kind words, consulted him on side matters, and discussed secretly for half an hour, and Chen Youyan's death.
Listening to his description in person, Youyan's situation is very bad, even more serious than what was reported before. In this cold winter, more than 2,000 people died of starvation because of Gu You's inconvenience. And when the New Year comes, there is no green and yellow in the region, there is a shortage of food and clothing, and materials are extremely scarce. Zhuo and Yi Erzhou have begun to prepare for farming, but the people are exhausted, there is little grain, and the Khitan cavalry is ready to move, and there are many signs of southern raids. As for the army, due to the attrition of the previous fierce battles, the armaments and equipment have not yet been replenished.
Liu Chengyou basically understood that Zhao Yanshou sent an envoy to complain about suffering, poverty, and crying. Sure enough, they asked for food, ordnance, cloth, ironware, and medicinal herbs...... Basically, if you are not a picky eater, the court can ask for everything.
In this regard, Liu Chengyou said warmly: "King Yan and Youyan soldiers and civilians have worked hard! And replied to King Yan that the court is the backing of Youzhou, and it will not be negative. ”
After a slight sigh, he made a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and said: "Even if the state affairs are difficult and the mansion is empty, the court should also support it." Later, Lone discussed with the ministers and dispatched a part of the ordnance, food, iron tools, and cultivation to support Youzhou! ”
"Your Highness!" to make oneself grateful.
From the Youzhou matter, Liu Chengyou thought of the Youyan refugees, and went to ask Du to return to the court, Liu Zhiyuan had issued an edict to the northern Xinjiang county to take it in, and there was no detailed report.
After returning to the center, Liu Chengyou instructed Li Tao, the waiter of the Chinese book: "Send a letter to Zhang Yanwei of the Chengde Festival, ask him about the resettlement of Youyan who cannot escape the homeless, spring is about to begin, let him and Li Yu demarcate the distribution of acres of land, supply grain seeds, and prepare for spring plowing in advance!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengyou summoned Yang Wei, Wang Zhang, Su Fengji, and Dou Zhengu to hold a "joint meeting" to discuss the matter of supporting Youzhou grain and machinery.
Yang Wei clearly objected to the lack of national use and inability to support foreign lands. There is no need for Liu Chengyou to speak in person, Su Fengji retorted in a timely manner: "Youyan is also my Han land, and its soldiers and civilians are also my Han people, dare to call it a foreign land?" Yang Xiang wants to be a thief who cuts the land? ”
The two sentences of questioning made Yang Wei's face ugly, and he also said toughly: "Do everything according to your ability, the crisis situation in Guanzhong has involved a lot of energy in the imperial court, how can you have the spare strength to support Youzhou?" ”
"If there is no Youyan army and people in front to stop the Khitan forces, where can the imperial court fully deal with the threat of the Shu army? If Youzhou loses and Hu Qi disturbs Hebei, what will happen at that time, and will the imperial court have the spare strength to take care of both sides? Su Fengji immediately refuted.
Yang Wei blurted out: "Zhao Yanshou is a disciple at both ends of the first rat, not credible!" ”
"Yang Shuxiang!" Liu Chengyou finally spoke, and looked at Yang Wei calmly: "In the past six months, the Yan Wangshuai Youyan army and people have resisted the Khitan invasion, everyone has seen it. There are many dead and wounded, and there is blood shedding in the wilderness, so don't say such remarks that are not conducive to unity, otherwise, it will be spread out, and I am afraid of the hearts of the righteous people! ”
was stared at by Liu Chengyou, and the meaning of the lesson in that flat tone was felt by everyone. The face couldn't help but tremble, turned his face away, muffled his voice, and responded. Seeing his performance, Liu Chengyou didn't get angry, but he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, no wonder Liu Chengxun once said that Yang Wei didn't know the general situation.
"What do you think?" Yoo Seung-woo turned to the others.
There were no really stupid people present, and they could basically feel Liu Chengyou's attitude. Looking at Wang Zhang, who was in charge of the three divisions, Yang Wei also looked at this fellow.
If according to Wang Zhang's intentions, he must not want to waste money and food, probably in all dynasties, the officials in charge of financial endowments do not want to spend at will, and they can't lock the door of the storehouse. In particular, Wang Zhang, since he was in charge of a country's taxes, he has worked hard to prepare for national, political, and military purposes.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the army was in turmoil, production had not yet recovered, the whole country was poor, and the local prefectures and counties did not have much resources to support the central government. In order to collect financial endowments, Wang Zhang tried his best to formulate and introduce a lot of "harsh policies" to accumulate too much, which has caused public resentment.
However, under Liu Chengyou's gaze, Wang Zhang sighed and said: "Youyan military and civilian, barrier northern Xinjiang, the merit is very heavy, and you should have some support, but it is also a fact that the country is empty. ”
After a pause, Wang Zhang continued: "The minister's proposal, part of it will be sent from Tokyo, and the rest will be made up by Chengde and Henghai. It is reported that the officials and people presided over by His Royal Highness Yu Hengshen Ji Zhao have been effective, and the use of the state capital should not be too tight. As long as Youyan boils for another half a year, until the summer harvest, the country is newly endowed into the warehouse, and the imperial court has some leeway, so it should be more calm to assist and respond. ”
Wang Zhang, this is already a confession, hearing his suggestion, Liu Chengyou directly made a decision: "What Wang Qing has discussed, handle it accordingly." ”
"In the Central Plains states, the imperial court will also start preparations for spring ploughing, so as not to be in a hurry at that time!"
Soon, the topic turned to Chunlai farming.
In this matter, Yang Wei had the right to speak, and said with a cold face: "The imperial court is now edicting the prefectures, and it is urging them to teach agriculture and mulberry." His Royal Highness King Wei's initiative in Zhengzhou has also been effective. The minister suggested that the states of the Central Plains should follow the example of Zhengzhou and do things in Tuntian. The imperial court could also set up camp envoys in various states to gather displaced people, distribute land, and encourage reclamation! ”
"What Yang Xiang discussed, the matter of Tuntian is being fully implemented in the Central Plains!" Liu Chengyou said quietly.
However, he was already a little disdainful of Yang Wei in his heart, and when he talked about Tuntian, he had to look around and emphasize the late Liu Chengxun, this is to disgust himself?
"Your Highness, there are still a large number of bandits raging in various states in the world, and if they loot, it will affect the spring plowing in various places and delay agricultural affairs!" Dou Zhengu, the servant of the door, reminded at this time.
Liu Chengyou was obviously concerned about this matter: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have been many bandits in various places, and the prohibition has been endless, which has had a very bad impact on the stability of the country. Previously, the imperial court couldn't care about it, but now, it's time to start cleaning up! ”
Hearing this, Su Fengji immediately suggested excitedly: "Your Highness, most of the thieves in the world are involved with their own families, and the people and thieves of their generation collude with each other, and they are in the evil township, so it is difficult to stop banning." It can be proposed to send an edict to the prefectures and counties of the world, where the thieves live in their own homes and neighbors are all punished, so that the people are afraid of it, and they will not dare to be thieves again! ”
When Su Fengji said this, the room was quiet for a while, and they all looked at him in amazement. Liu Chengyou is the same, the corners of his mouth tugged, this is a joke. Seeing Su Fengji's murderous demeanor, Liu Chengyou knew that this person was serious......
