Chapter 117: The Marquis of Beiping's Mansion

After being reminded by Jia Yizhi, Liu Rong really thought that his father sent him to Hedong to mourn Zhang Cang, but he did not mention a word about Hedong's Taishou Shen Tugong.

When it came to Shentu Gong, Liu Rong thought of another person, Zhou Yangyou, the governor of Hedong.

At that time, Zhou Yangyou's father, Zhao Jian, was named the Marquis of Zhou Yang as the uncle of Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, so he took Zhou Yang as his surname. Zhou Yangyang was appointed as a Lang official by Emperor Wen because he was a relative.

Since Liu Chang's death, the relationship between the Huainan Wang family and the imperial court can be said to have dropped to the freezing point, but Zhou Yangyou didn't know how to do it, and he was trusted by Liu Qizhi, the son of heaven, to be promoted to a high-ranking official with a rank of more than 2,000 stones. However, Zhou Yangyou was the most tyrannical, cruel, proud and indulgent among the officials at the level of 2,000 stones.

According to the biography of the cool officials in the historical records, Zhou Yang was lived by the people he loved; Those who are hated will be annihilated by the law.

The county set up by the Han family was in charge of government affairs, and the commander was in charge of military affairs to assist Taishou, both of which were in charge of 2,000 stones.

And this Zhou Yangyou, if he is the county governor, he will treat the lieutenant as a county order. When he is a captain, he will definitely bully the Taishou.

Historically, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, ordered him to be the governor of Hedong, but at that time, he fought with him for power, and in the end, he even accused each other. In the end, the Son of Heaven was furious, Shen Tugong committed suicide, and Zhou Yangyou was beheaded......

Thinking of this, Liu Rong smiled and said: "It seems that this time in Hedong, there will be some gains."

In this way, after resting for a night in Hangu Pass, Liu Rong and his party set off, this section of the road is indeed very smooth, as the saying goes, it is warm after the wind, and cold after the snow.

However, for some reason, after this heavy snowfall, the weather has warmed up a bit.

After this, Liu Rong and his entourage hurried to the road, but in two days, they crossed Hongnong and arrived at the side of the rolling Yellow River.

The Yellow River in the Han Dynasty was extremely large, and the Yellow River was at the junction of Hedong and Hongnong, and the water flow was not too turbulent.

Looking at the vast and vast Yellow River in front of him, Liu Rong couldn't stop sighing, the Chinese civilization originated from this great river.

However, in ancient times, the Yellow River was naturally a weapon for irrigating nearby farmland, and was an important water source for several counties along the way, but every time it was summer flood, it seemed that the river would break through the embankment of the Yellow River with a devastating momentum and flood the farmland and houses of several counties along the way............

There is a history of planting, Liu Yu Yuanguang three years, due to heavy rain for months, the water level of the Yellow River soared, and then rushed to the embankment, resulting in floods in 16 counties in the world.

Later, Liu Yu hurriedly ordered the conscription of nearly 100,000 laborers for several months before blocking the breach, and ordered the construction of Yifang Palace on the newly built barrage embankment.

Since then, the water of the Yellow River has traveled northward, and the land of Liang and Chu has been restored to tranquility, and there is no flood.

Until Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he ordered Wang Jinghe, a civil water conservancy expert, to preside over the repair of the Yellow River and Bian Canal.

Since then, the Yellow River and Bian water have flowed, and a large amount of silt has appeared along the banks of the two rivers to become fertile fields. About 800 years after the Yellow River was corrected, there was no further diversion.

Just when Liu Rong was stunned, he saw a few boats as high as several zhang to the Yellow River ferry.

Tang Sheng saw that Liu Rong was stunned, so you made a preface and said: "Your Highness, the ship has arrived, please get on board quickly."

Hearing Tang Sheng's words, Liu Rong came back to his senses and said, "Good."

Liu Rong naturally took a boat for the first time, and he couldn't help but sigh that the shipbuilding technology of the Han family is still very strong, and it is still possible to go to sea with such a large ship to be transformed............

Only the Yuan Dynasty, which came from the inland peoples of the steppe, was completely ignorant of shipbuilding.

At that time, the Yuan Dynasty unified the world, and there were several westward expeditions, which made the territory of the Yuan Dynasty vast, and it can be called "the quicksand of the left and west poles of Liao, the north of Yinshan and the south of the sea surface, and the Han and Tang dynasties were not as good as when they were extremely prosperous".

But when it came time to go to sea, it was a difficult thing for these elite soldiers who were good at horse warfare.

Emperor Yuan ordered the construction of warships several times to cross the sea to conquer Japan. However, the war ships repaired by the Yuan army were all flat-bottomed ships, and they could only travel on the big rivers at most, where could they sail on the vast sea......

In this way, the Mongol cavalry, which had been defeated by the enemy repeatedly with divine help on land, repeatedly capsized when they marched into Japan by boat.

Originally, Japan was frightened to death by the mighty Yuan army......

However, Japan, which saw the Yuan army repeatedly capsizing, began to jump up and down, thinking that it was a country blessed by God......

……………………………………………………………………

After a while, the big boat traveled to the other side of the Yellow River, and the other side of the Yellow River was already the east of the river.

As soon as he got off the boat, Jia Yi said to Liu Rong: "Hedong is a county placed in the Qin period. Mang said Zhaoyang. There are root silos and wet silos. The household is twenty-three hundred and thirty-six thousand eight hundred and ninety-six, and the mouth is ninety-six thousand nine hundred and twelve. The county is twenty-four, its governing place is Anyi, Wuxian Mountain is in the south, and Yanchi is in the southwest. Wei Jiang migrated from Wei to Hui Wang. There are also iron ores and salt ponds that are rich in the world. The fiefdom of the Marquis of Beiping is in Dongyuan County, and Dongyuan is only a few tens of miles according to this, but it can be reached in one day."

Hearing this, Liu Rong nodded, Hedong County is not only a rich place, but also has many candidates in Hedong, except for Liu Rong's condolences to Zhang Cang, Marquis of Beiping, Cao Shen, Marquis of Pingyang, Zhou Bo, Marquis of Fenyin, Zhou Chang, and Han Xin, who was renamed Marquis of Huaiyin, are all in Hedong.

In this way, Liu Rong ordered the emperor to go quickly, and at dusk of this day, the convoy composed of more than ten carriages arrived in Dongyuan County.

On this trip, the carriage that Liu Rong rode in was not luxurious, but it was also driven by a superior car, and the horses used to pull the carriage were all horses selected in the horse farm of the emperor of the Han family.

As soon as it entered Linfen City, the convoy attracted the attention of the people on the streets.

I saw one person say: "When did we have such a generous person in Dongyuan, and they took more than ten carriages to travel."

The person next to him smiled and said: "Where must this be the candidate or his heir, who came here to mourn the Marquis of Beiping in Dongyuan."

Listening to this person's words, the person who asked the question also smiled, it is true, since the death of Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, from time to time there are high-headed horses driving here.

After inquiring all the way, Liu Rong and his entourage arrived in front of a mansion, and when they got into the carriage, everyone saw that many people in front of the mansion were wearing filial piety robes and kneeling in filial piety cloths and crying.

In this way, you don't need to ask Liu Rong and others to know that this is Zhang Cang's home.

Without waiting for Liu Rong to say more, an attendant who followed Liu Rong immediately walked to the people who knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, but this attendant naturally did not say that the person who came this time was the eldest son of the emperor, but just said that the Son of Heaven sent a messenger to come here to mourn the Marquis of Beiping.

But when they heard that it was someone sent by the Son of Heaven, everyone present immediately stopped crying, and one of them hurriedly got up and ran into the house.

However, after a while, he saw another person running out of his mansion, and as soon as he saw Liu Rong and the others, he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted: "Minister Zhang Feng greets the angel!" ”。

This is Jia Yi leaning into Liu Rong's ear and whispering: "Your Highness, this is the son of the Marquis of Beiping, Zhang Feng."

Liu Rong nodded and said: "Excuse me, the death of the Marquis of Beiping, the Son of Heaven is very sad, and I am sent here to mourn."

Zhang Feng immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank Your Majesty for your kindness to your deceased father."

After speaking, with the support of the people on the side, Zhang Feng was able to get up. When Zhang Cang died, he was more than 100 years old, how could his son still be a young man, when Zhang Feng got up, Liu Rong saw that Zhang Fengzhi's beard was already white, and the hair covered by the filial piety cloth must have been gray......

At this time, there are also long-lived people, but those who can live more than 100 years old can never be a civilian home.

Zhang Cang can live to be one hundred and nine years old, but thanks to his nearly 100 concubines, after Emperor Wen deposed him, Zhang Cang returned to his fiefdom, but after a few years, due to his age, the teeth in his mouth fell out, and he lived by eating human milk, and let some women be his nurses. Where can ordinary people have money to take hundreds of concubines......

However, although officials can have doctors to diagnose and treat diseases, but at this time, the fashion of officials is very fond of taking concubines and raising singers.

Liu Rong's father, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has always been in poor health, but Liu Rong knows the reason very well, one is the complexity of the Son of Heaven's handling of government affairs.

There is even a saying in the historical records: Everything in the world is determined by the top, no matter how big or small. Up to the weighing stone to measure the book, day and night there is a presentation, not in the presentation of no rest.

And Liu Rong's father has another big hobby, that is, he loves beautiful women. It's just that Liu Concubine has hundreds of beauties who have been offering to her all day long, not to mention the beauties that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has found by himself......

With such a day and night of reviewing and playing, and making time to pamper the beauty, can this body be good......

In Liu Rong's view, everything in the world is done by himself, and there is no need for this. As the Son of Heaven, as long as he grasps the military power and the major policies of the imperial court, the rest of the affairs can be handed over to the courtiers.

In this way, those who have meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. There is no need to live so tiring at all.

And Liu Rong has fully learned the lesson of his father, from not messing with the good-looking maidservants in the palace, to now he is still a good boy who has been guarding himself like jade for sixteen years............

After Zhang Feng got up, he immediately led Liu Rong and others to the Beiping Marquis Mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, Liu Rong naturally took a look at the furnishings in Zhang Cang's house.

After a closer look, I realized that the houses in Zhang Cang's house were all a little old, and if they were compared with Liu's house, they would be slums, even if they were much worse than Dou Ying's house, which never cared about anything outside of him......

Although there are only 1,500 households in Zhang Cang's food estate, his feudal lord can be decades earlier than Dou Ying and others, and the food yi divided by the Han family does not mean that there are only 1,500 feudal households of the feudal people. But after the days go by, the descendants of these 1,500 families are also the people of the feudal lords.

Cao Shenzhi, the "gong dog" who had 10,630 households in the Pingyang Marquis Kingdom, had 23,000 households by the time of Liu Yu, more than doubled.

Even if Zhang Cangzhi's food town grew by less than 3,000 households at this time, more than 2,000 households should have it. And Zhang Cang was the prime minister of the Wen Dynasty for 12 years, and the prime minister was awarded 10,000 stones, which was converted into today's measurement, which is 300,000 kilograms of grain. No matter how many slaves and servants are raised at home, there will definitely be surplus food.

Living in such an old house is indeed the backbone of some ancient sages, Liu Rong sighed.
