When Liu De received the battle report, it was already two months later, Li Yun finally succeeded in holding Danzhou, but a small part of Luzhou was indeed lost, unless Li Yun continued to send troops, but after fighting on both sides of the north and south, the Wei army soldiers were tired of running, Li Yun finally gave up this idea, but shrank his troops and recuperate.

The reason for Xiang Yu's withdrawal is very simple, Huaizhou Xu Siye sent soldiers and horses to attack Xiang Yu's hometown, Xiang Yu had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to Dongzhou, if he didn't return, his hometown would be demolished, even if he could defeat Li Yun, what was the use.

Li Yun was lucky.

Liu De looked at the battle report and said with a smile, and for Xiang Yu, although Liu De didn't know much, but this time Xu Siye touched the door, it would definitely make this Duke of Qi violent like thunder, it seems that for a long time, His Royal Highness the Duke of Qi will focus on fighting with Xu Siye.

After all, Chen Shuo is already old, and being able to live to seventy in this era is already considered a high life, and the sadness has passed, and the days will continue to live.

In order to respect Chen Shuo, Liu De ordered that during Chen Shuo's funeral, no alcohol was allowed to be drunk, singing and dancing, and the prosperous place of Beiping City was also depressed for some days.

After going out for half a year, Xun Yu is in government affairs, Zhang Tianlang is in military affairs, Liu De only controls one or two major things, and the rest of the small things are let go of the officials to do, and everything has to be handled by Liu De, so it is not exhausting Liu De!

Liu De is reluctant to do this.

And now the imperial court system and other aspects are also perfect, even if Liu De is abroad, he basically ensures the smooth flow of government affairs, which is enough.

And Liu De returned to the house to rest for a few days, accompanied his sister-in-law, and a bunch of concubines, including a bunch of his own children.

The eldest son Liu Zhao, the second son Liu Dun, and the eldest daughter Liu Ning are all four years old, and the third son Liu Ren is also three years old.

Liu Zhao is like a little adult, and Liu Dun wants to be more wooden, but Liu Ren is decent, a child, can see something.

However, in Liu De's opinion, it is time to find a teacher for his children, he often travels abroad, and he can't teach anything by relying on their mother's teaching.

Liu De held the youngest tenth son Liu Chong in his arms, and his fingers gently put the tip of Xiao Liu Chong's nose from the bottom to the top, and a little pig Bajie's face appeared in front of Liu De, Xiao Liu Chong may have felt uncomfortable, and his little hand pulled Liu De hard, but when he saw that he couldn't pull it, his small mouth was deflated, and he immediately cried, which made Liu De laugh.

As Liu Chong's mother, Yang Yuhuan was also waiting on the side, and handed the dates on the plate to Liu De's mouth, Liu De opened his mouth and let Yang Yuhuan carefully send the dates to his mouth.

Liu De chewed it twice and spit out the jujube kernel into the plate held by Yang Yuhuan, Liu De couldn't help but nodded: "This jujube is quite sweet, where is the jujube produced?" ”

Yang Yuhuan couldn't answer for a while, how could she, the eldest lady of a family, know this, Yang Yuhuan hurriedly looked at the grandmother behind.

Mama stepped forward and replied: "Your Highness, this jujube is planted by the people of Beiping, there are one or two in the yard at home, and when it matures and sells it for some money, the ladies like to eat jujubes." But there are so few dates that you can't buy them if you go late. Even this time of year is the time of year to be able to eat some dates! ”

Liu De nodded, ancient people liked to eat sugar, especially high-ranking officials and nobles, the demand for sugar is very large, salt is an important strategic material, but sugar is also indispensable.

Nowadays, there are not many types of sugar, and jujube is a rare sugar that can be eaten directly in the north, and orange grapefruit and other things in the south, which can be made into sugar.

The rest is caramel, a starch sugar made from grains, which is often sold by street vendors.

There is also sugar cane, which can also be made into sugar, but because sugar cane is a southern thing, it is almost invisible in the north. However, although sugarcane can be made into sugar, it is obviously inferior to caramel sugar, which may be related to the taste, and the sweetness of sucrose should not be related to caramel sugar.

Liu De picked up a jujube and said in his heart: This jujube may allow the Han court to increase its income, and the demand for sugar is very large.

Liu De patted Yang Yuhuan's plump buttocks and said, "Lone lives here tonight, you prepare!" ”

After that, Liu De walked out of Yang Yuhuan's courtyard.

Yang Yuhuan hurriedly squatted down Wanfu and responded happily.

Liu De directly summoned Mi Zhu, the head of the household department, and asked, "Mi Aiqing, how much do you know about this jujube?" ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Gu found that our demand for jujube is very large, and the yield of jujube is very average, we can plant jujube trees in places where we can't grow food, not only can we sell jujube directly, but also can be used to make sugar, a lot!"

Mi Zhu hurriedly bowed down and said: "What His Royal Highness said is very true, to put it mildly, there are also two jujube trees in the minister's house, and they will all be eaten up by the insiders in a few days, and they will have to go outside to buy them, but there are not many dates sold outside, so it seems that dates can indeed increase the income of the imperial court!" ”

"It's normal to have fewer dates, after all, even the food is not enough, how can you have time to take care of the jujube tree, it's not to let it grow, how much it grows, even if it's how much! In this way, Mi Aiqing, you go to investigate and see where you can plant jujube forests in Beiping without affecting the grain harvest, open an experimental field first, and use a year to see if the effect can be promoted! ”

Liu De said.

"The minister understands!"

"That's right!"

Liu De suddenly thought: "If the household department goes to plant dates, maybe some speculators will follow suit, and it is okay to follow suit, but if anyone changes the field into a jujube tree, he will be severely punished!" ”

"Yes!"

Mi Zhu got the order, and left the Han Mansion to find his subordinates to investigate the planting of Beiping jujube.

Liu De looked at the jujube in his hand and thought in his heart: Weizhou is short of grain, but there are very few fields that can produce grain in Weizhou, but Weizhou is suitable for planting this jujube tree.

......

The Qian family sent people to find Liu De, because Zou Yan has succeeded in divination many times, so the Qian family has great trust in Zou Yan now, and Zou Yan is also good at talking about affairs, using his own doctrine to say that the head is the Tao, so the Qian family thinks that Zou Yan is a great talent and wants to introduce Zou Yan to Liu De.

However, Liu De has been on the expedition, and when Liu De came back, he caught up with Chen Shuo's death, so it was only now that the Qian family had the opportunity to recommend Zou Yan to Liu De.

Through his own means, Zou Yan finally met Liu De, the ruler of the Han Dynasty.

I had the opportunity to push my doctrine out.

It is possible for the Yin-Yang School of Taoism to become a manifestation of learning, without having to be bored in a mere Taoist temple.
