The edict is complete. Liu Bei stood up. This whispered to Zuo Feng: Dare to ask Shaoling, why did my majesty let me start and finish well?

Zuo Feng replied with a smile: The young prince and the noble people forget more. Do you remember the glass fragrance that the slave maid offered to His Majesty a few days ago?

Liu Bei suddenly realized.

It turns out that the so-called good beginning and good ending are actually talking about paying tribute to glass incense. His Majesty asked Liu Bei to pay tribute at four o'clock. Carry something through to the end.

How could Liu Bei think of it. His Majesty actually gave three bottles of glass incense, and beheaded more than 20,000 people who could not get it and added seals, and easily edicted it.

No, I can't.

Liu Bei asked unrelentingly: Just for the glass fragrance?

Zuo Feng nodded again and again: Exactly, exactly.

Huangmen Shaoling, who only cared about smiling, didn't see Liu Bei's smile with a lot of complicated looks.

Perseverance, ten days of bloody battle, it is better than three bottles of glass fragrance.

Seeing that the face of the young prince was wrong, Geng Yong hurriedly stepped forward and took care of the reception for the lord. Congratulations to the Yellow Gate Shao Ling to the guest house. Zuo Feng wanted to live in the Hushe of Fandi and taste the nomadic style. Geng Yong promised with his mouth, and he was so attentive that he didn't mention it.

Huangmen Ling Zuo Feng never regarded himself as an outsider, which is also right.

Sending off a cadre of people and others, Liu Bei slowly sat on the ground.

Suddenly, I heard a soft call, and it was my mother who looked up.

"Why is my son upset?" Mother asked with a smile. Time flies, his mother has not changed, and Liu Bei has not changed.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "All kinds of tastes are indescribable." ”

How could the mother not know: "But because of 'merit is not rewarded', but 'merit is not rewarded'? ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "As my mother said." The son traveled thousands of miles and fought bloodily for ten days. His subordinates threw their heads and spilled blood. Loyal to the country. But it's not as good as three bottles of glass lotion, which is worth a lot of money. ”

The mother also nodded: "The so-called 'family and country in the world'." 'The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs'. Perhaps, for the Son of Heaven, 'private affairs are also state affairs'. ”

It's really a mother.

Liu Bei got up with a smile: "My son is taught." ”

Mother actually understands 'the selfless affairs of the Son of Heaven' in reverse. It is 'a private matter and a national affair'. Perhaps, Your Majesty lives in the temple. What he thinks is not something that Liu Bei, who lives in Lousang, can understand.

When Geng Yong returned, Liu Bei and Cui Jun had already found the origin and origin of Rongcheng and Yichang.

Rongcheng is from Qinzhi County, belongs to Shanggu County, and was originally named "Sancho" or "IKEA". At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the princes were divided, and Rongcheng was the Marquis of Shenze at the beginning. In the sixth year of Gaozu (201 BC), the Xiongnu Dong Wei (xiè) was named the Marquis of Cheng, and he was attacked for two generations. In the twelfth year of Emperor Gao (195 BC), Jianyi County. In the third year of Emperor Jing (147 B.C.), Xu Lu, the king of the Xiongnu, was enthroned as the Marquis of Rongcheng and the Marquis of Rongcheng was established. Wang Mang established a new dynasty, restored the old system, and placed it in Shenze County. The county has been abolished in the Han Dynasty and incorporated into Fanyang County.

Lousang is about 120 miles away from the ancient city of Rongcheng. It is about one hundred and sixty-five miles away from the southern boundary of Rongcheng.

"Geography and Customs": "Eighty miles east of Fangcheng County is beneficial to Changcheng, so the county is also." "Yichang is located in the southeast of Lousang, about 235 miles away from Lousang in a straight line.

After the addition, Liu Bei's Linxiang County was extended to the southern boundary of Youzhou. It is adjacent to Boling County and Hejian Country in Jizhou.

Lousang County, to the east, to the south, extending more than 100 miles. The area has more than doubled.

Liu Bei was certainly pleased. However, thinking that it was in exchange for three bottles of glass fragrance, I felt ashamed of it.

However, the great Confucian Cai Yong woke up the dreamer with a word: "Today, the land is increasing by a hundred miles, how many Li people can the young prince save from fire and water?" ”

Liu Bei had an epiphany.

The troubled times are coming, and compared to thousands of people, their own honor and disgrace are nothing.

At the same time, the edict was issued to the locality. Officials from Rongcheng and Yichang gathered in Lousang. The Hou Mansion didn't dare to bother. They posted their names one after another, asking to see the two family members. Geng Yong came to ask Liu Bei, and Liu Bei smiled and said: Why don't you see it.

Geng Yong and Cui Jun met one by one in the official residence. The gift is accepted to reassure him. He also ordered the assassins and thieves to be arrested, and to be carefully investigated. Both places are ancient cities, and the people are simple. Helpless, but sometimes flooded. Liu Bei asked Fang Zhi that between the two places, there was a vast body of water comparable to Du Kang Daze - digging carp lake.

Digging Lidian, later generations called Baiyangdian.

Nowadays, the scope is extremely wide. In ancient times, it was the old road of the great river, and the flood was monstrous. In the thirteenth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (70 AD), the big river was diverted to the south, and the river water was stored in this depression, forming a large area of water. Zuo Si, a famous writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, once wrote in "Sandu Fu and Wei Du Fu": "...... Among them, there are mandarin duck valleys, tiger streams and dragon mountains, digging carp lakes, and covering the abyss of knots. The annotation of the Tang Dynasty annotator Li Shan on the "Lake of Digging Carp" is: The Lake of Digging Carp is in the "west of Moxian County". It is the Baiyangdian of later generations. Therefore, Baiyangdian is also known as digging carp lake.

"New Tang Dynasty Book Geographical Chronicles" recorded: "There are ninety-nine lakes in Mozhou, and there is not one place in the county with the name of the lake, and one of them is also dug in the carp lake." "Mozhou refers to the vast area around the northern border of the country between the rivers.

In the later generations, the Baiyangdian Lake has a natural water area of more than 360 square kilometers, and there are a total of 143 lakes of different sizes in the lake. It is connected by more than 3,700 ditches, and the lakes are connected, and the ditches are connected, forming a huge labyrinth array. Baiyangdian Lake is the largest one among many lakes, about 20,000 acres, so it is named after it.

Two thousand years later, there is still such a scale, you can imagine how magnificent the current digging of Lidian Lake is.

Flooding is frequent. Digging Lidian Baili waters, there are even "most of the residents drowned." ".

No wonder my majesty is so generous.

The flood is fiercer than the tiger. Listening to the two family members relay the endless bitterness of the local officials, Liu Bei felt a trace of relief in his heart.

This is like what my majesty did.

Previously, a piece of white Ze was sealed, and there was no other land. Now Rongcheng and Yichang, which are more flooded than tigers, are under the rule of two pieces of mud. Doing so is in the same vein.

Liu Bei was finally relieved.

It is not a good idea to let the people of the two places move their families to their hometowns. Rongcheng and Yichang also need manpower. Especially near Rongcheng, there are many ancient cities. There are Katsura Castle, Hun (bàn) Castle, Santai Castle, and three ancient cities of the Warring States Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Dian District was under the jurisdiction of Yan and Zhao. With the Great Wall of Yishui as the boundary, the south Gecheng belongs to Zhao, and the north Hun city returns to Yan, so the Dian District has the saying of "Yan South Zhao North".

During the Warring States period, the strategic point was just the countryside under the jurisdiction of Fanyang and Anci counties. The rank of the officials is very low, and they are all small officials.

Settlement with the state and county is completed. Liu Bei sent his henchmen to Rongcheng and Yichang to Zhang Bang and settle the people. He also promised to be generous to high-ranking officials, so that officials at all levels should fulfill their duties and be diligent in political affairs. After the completion of the township supervision, we will deal with Rongcheng and Yichang.

It shouldn't be harder than the polder.

And Rongcheng, Yichang, and the city are all there. Three miles horizontally and vertically, although it is old, it is repaired from time to time. It's pretty good. It can be seen from the fact that the abandoned city in the countryside can stand still. As long as it is an ancient city that can be preserved, it can be called strong. It is enough to resist ordinary bandits and floods. As a result, there are quite a lot of people in the two places. A year ago, there were thousands of households. A total of more than 100,000 mouths.

Not bad.

Land is one thing. Population is what matters.

In other words, the population has increased suddenly, and this year's donation fee is a lot of money.

Say nothing.

Eating meat or drinking soup depends on the rice of the season.

Send away the Huangmen Shaoling, 1.5 million acres of paddy fields in Linxiang, and complete rice transplanting. The management of the field is handed over to the elders in the family. Strong and healthy women, this will return to the hometown to build.
