April 22 of the summer of the second year of Yanhe.

After several days of rainy weather, Chang'an finally cleared.

Therefore, after dawn, the whole city immediately comes alive.

The market is crowded and lively.

The crown prince Liu Ju sat in the palace car, through the gap between the cars and ships, quietly looking at the market that had been absent for several months.

"The ...... at home" Wang Yi knelt opposite him, bowed slightly, and asked, "You are returning to Beijing this time, but for the wheat seeds of Xinfeng?" ”

Liu Ju nodded and said, "That's right!" ”

As the protector of the Hedu Prefecture under the leadership of the Prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ju has been going back and forth between Luoyang and Guangling County for the past few months.

Nowadays, the lake enclosure project of Yuechi has entered a climax.

As the first project of the empire's internal affairs this year, the lake siege project mobilized tens of thousands of county soldiers and tunnel battalion soldiers, and requisitioned tens of thousands of young and strong people.

The project has been completed from winter to summer, and now more than half of the work has been completed.

The effect is also surprisingly good!

At present, thousands of hectares of high-quality paddy fields have been obtained through the lake enclosure project.

It is enough for all the young people who participate in the project to get a chance to give a field!

It will also greatly alleviate and reduce the flood of Huiji.

Because of this, Liu Ju really felt what it means to be popular for the first time? What is Support?

So, the high-spirited prince of the Han Dynasty decided to go further.

Start the project of introducing Huai into Bian in advance!

Even at the same time, it was launched to lead Luo into Bian!|

However......

When Liu Ju revealed his thoughts and thoughts to the doctors of Henan and Xuzhou.

The landlords and aristocrats of Xuzhou naturally raised their limbs and resolutely supported them.

patted his chest and said that as long as the national policies, money and resources are in place, selling liver and kidney will also support the family!

It was the scholars, doctors, landlords and aristocrats in Henan who became hypocritical.

It's not that they don't support it.

It is in Henan, where there are many mountains and factions.

After leaving Luoyang and going south, many places only supported the introduction of Huai into Bian, and strongly opposed the introduction of Luo into Bian.

Liu Ju also inquired and knew the truth - many local celebrities, nobles and landlords all felt that it was naturally very good to lead Huai into Bian.

But to lead Luo into Bian, it is only the people of Luoyang and Guanzhong who are convenient.

But they were asked to contribute money, effort, and even land.

This made Liu Ju's head look big.

Although he began to personally contact the grassroots work and was familiar with the affairs of the state and county, he already knew that there was no simple matter at the grassroots level.

It's not something that can be explained clearly at all in a book, and it's not even something that one or a few people can understand and think through.

Commoners, landlords, gentry, officials, nobles, and merchants.

All kinds of forces, intertwined and intertwined.

In the course of practice, Liu Ju, with his intuition and acumen as a ruler, discovered the fact that a book and a courtier would never talk to him about it—the common people, nobles, officials, gentry, landlords, and merchants in this world seemed to be in a very delicate relationship.

Although he can't understand these relationships yet, it is difficult to sort out the logic in them.

I feel a little ignorant, and I don't seem to understand.

But reason and intuition still told him something subconsciously.

Let him understand some truth.

Just like now, he knew that he had to maintain a superficial affinity with the landlords and nobles of the world, but actually suppressed and restricted them.

The superficial affinity is because he needs the support and support of these people in order to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince and the future throne of the Son of Heaven.

The same is true for repression and restriction.

If you don't suppress and restrict the local landlords and aristocrats, then the Son of Heaven in Chang'an will sooner or later become a decoration like Zhou Tianzi.

The decree does not come out of the Weiyang Palace!

As a result, the affairs of Henan County gradually became clear and transparent in his eyes.

The local nobles and powerful landlords and officials in Henan supported the introduction of Huai into Bian, because they could get great benefits from it, but they only needed to spend a little money, and the gains far outweighed the losses, and they did not take the risks!

And they don't like to lure Luo into Bian, because the project looks promising.

However, once the construction begins, it is they who will suffer and suffer.

However, Luoyang and Guanzhong can lie down and enjoy the benefits brought by it.

So, while they may also benefit from it.

But compared to others, it is obviously a big loss.

It is reasonable to oppose or drag on or make stumbling blocks.

This is a very subtle mentality, as far as Liu knows, not only the landlords and powerful nobles in Henan County have this mentality, but many people also have a similar mentality! And if you don't look closely, it's hard to detect this mentality of the people!

In short, this matter made Liu Ju have a headache for a while, and he even had nothing to do.

Until, at the beginning of this month, the landlords, gentry and aristocrats of the entire Henan Province were united overnight.

Even the people, the people, petitioned on both sides of the road he passed.

Everyone's purpose is only one - to invite His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Mercy and compassion to be the master of the people, for Henan Lishu, and to win Xinfeng wheat seeds!

As long as it can be done, people up and down will say that His Royal Highness will have something to do from now on, and the ministers (grass people) and others will go to the soup and fire, and they will not hesitate to fill the ravines first!

This really made Liu Yi dumbfounded.

He had racked his brains and tried his best to solve the problem, but he couldn't solve it.

The political achievements left by a courtier of his own son who had left Chang'an and were thousands of miles away were easily resolved.

This made Liu Ju really a little crying and laughing.

However, he still set off immediately and rushed back to Chang'an to grab this new harvest of wheat seeds.

Wang Yi frowned slightly and asked, "I don't know how many wheat seeds I hope to get?" ”

"There must be a tens of thousands of stones...... "In addition to Henan, Hanoi, Hedong, Handan, Hejian and other places, the clans, relatives, and lords have also been entrusted with ......."

When Wang Yi heard this, he showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "At home, I'm afraid that the summer wheat seeds in Xinfeng's official warehouse are less than 50,000 stones!" ”

"Ah......" Liu Ju frowned, and asked puzzledly: "I heard that Xinfeng has a yield of seven stones per mu of summer wheat this year, and the county has collected hundreds of thousands of stones of wheat, why is it gone?" ”

"Do you know anything at home...... Wang Yi bowed his head and said: "Since the harvest of Xinfeng summer wheat, the Son of Heaven has issued three edicts a day to give Nanling Zhang's ......"

"So, the world is turbulent......"

"Although His Royal Highness Taisun issued a timely order to prohibit the people from buying and selling wheat seeds privately, it is still not uncommon for the people to trade privately......"

"At least tens of thousands of stone of wheat seeds have flowed from the black market to Guanzhong and Hanoi......"

It's something you can't stop too!

Just like now, on the black market, Zhenxin Fengmai has planted one stone, and it has reached the level of thousands of dollars!

Equivalent to Xinfeng's farmers, the output of one mu of land last year exceeded the output of 100 mu of rich households in Hedong!

As a result, even if the Yahe Township Pavilion of Xinfeng County strictly controls the outflow of wheat seeds, it still cannot prevent the people who secretly hide wheat seeds from selling them privately.

Liu Yi frowned and said, "Even so, isn't there still hundreds of thousands of stones?" ”

"Family, you don't know anything......"

"After the harvest of Xinfeng and Xinmai, the Son of Heaven personally led the civil and military officials to sacrifice the gods of the Emperor Gao in Changling, and then sacrificed to the gods of Taizong, the first emperor and the gods of the Taimiao in turn...... Next, His Majesty will also go to Shougong to offer sacrifices to the Divine Monarch......"

"All this, he used thousands of stones of new wheat to sacrifice to the gods, and rewarded hundreds of officials, civil and military ......"

"Your Majesty also gave the people of the forest garden and the craftsmen of the Shaofu, and the wheat varieties were different...... This is another wheat seed of thousands of stones......"

"The counties in Guanzhong have requested to introduce Xinfeng wheat seeds...... The Son of Heaven gladly agreed...... This is the wheat seed ...... tens of thousands of stones."

"And last year, Zhang Zizhong, the servant, signed a debt with the merchants in Guanzhong, and according to the original promise, the Xinfeng government allowed the merchants to exchange the bonds they held for the property of Xinfeng at the official price......"

"All the merchants have exchanged coupons, more than thousands of stones, less than a thousand stones......"

"In addition, before the family entered Beijing, Wang Xu of Joseon and Wang Ji of Changyi wrote to His Majesty for mercy and wheat seeds......

"The second division general Haixi Hou also sent people back to Beijing, asking His Majesty to be gracious and give the military and civilians of Juyan a new harvest of wheat seeds......"

"Shuofang Taishou, Dingxiang Taishou and Jiuyuan Taishou and other feudal officials, jointly signed later...... Your Majesty can hurt the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the border area? ”

"Therefore, now in Xinfeng Guancang, in addition to the reserved wheat seeds of this year, there are at most 50,000 stone disposable wheat seeds......"

Liu listened and was dumbfounded.

He thought that Xinfeng's wheat seeds would be popular.

But never expected to be so popular!

Wang Yi continued: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, now, Xinfeng is not only popular for wheat seeds, but also for the world!" ”

"The king of Changyi and the king of Joseon have all written to ask His Majesty to send Xinfeng officials to assist him!"

"Zuo Feng Yi, Right Fufeng and others have all written to ask Your Majesty to appoint the officials of Nongji from Xinfeng to guide the counties in Guanzhong!"

"From the east of the Han Valley, the state and county thorn history, Taishou and so on have been waiting for the vacancy, it is said that in Xinfeng is just a small official of the pavilion chief, if you are willing to be transferred, you can get the Taishou, the assassin history, the rank is six hundred stones!"

"As for Xinfeng's county officials and township pavilion chiefs, it is said that as long as they are willing to be transferred, at least they are all county lords, don't drive, and all post officials!"

When Liu Ju heard this, he finally came to his senses.

Xinfeng's high-yielding wheat seeds may be precious!

But what is more precious is talent!

Those talents who followed Zhang Zizhong and governed Xinfeng into what it is today, so that the local yield of seven stones per mu!

"Wang Jialing!" Liu Zhengzheng said: "Please go to Xinfeng for a trip to the family order, and order the grandson to return to Beijing!" ”

"No!" Wang Yi hurriedly received the order.

Liu Ju curled his lips slightly.

In the competition for talents in Xinfeng, he has a strong advantage!

No matter what, if the father asks his son to contribute a few talents, can the son still hide it?

Must be recommended, and the best talent must be recommended!

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the royal road ahead.

In the midst of the crowd, Liu Ju heard cheers.

I saw a rider with a flag on his back, and in the crowd and cheers of the people, he rushed towards the direction of Weiyang Palace.

Along the way, countless people cheered and cheered.

"What's going on?" Liu Ju asked, "Send someone to investigate!" ”

"No!" Wang Yigong received the order, and then gave an order outside the car.

It didn't take long for someone to report: "Qi Juan Jiashang, Wang Gong, is the envoy of the festival, Jianwen Jun, and Zhang Gong sent back from Monan, the messenger said: Rely on the blessing of Your Majesty, the soldiers use their lives, the vassals are dead, and they have broken the Hun Weilu Department and beheaded more than 2,000 people, and captured thousands, and the rebel Weilu was only spared, and the king then surrounded Yanze, and the Huns were single Yu's brother, and the Guyan King Xuyan led thousands of horses under the majesty of the Wang Shi and the education of the Son of Heaven, and suddenly woke up, put the chaos in order, and led the people to righteousness! ”

"So, Zhang Gong accepted his surrendered troops, and returned to the division with the reinforcements of the Flying Fox Army, and now he has waved his army to the north, and he will pass the north of Lu Shui!"

Liu listened to it, just like listening to myths.

Wang Yi's eyes were even more stupid!

"Lone remembers, when Zhang Zizhong was sent as an envoy, he only brought the two thousand elites of Captain Changshui, right?" Liu asked leisurely, as if he was talking to himself.

"What the family says is true!" Wang Yi lowered his head and involuntarily used the honorific title: "As the minister knows, when Zhang Gong resigned from the edict, only Captain Changshui and more than 100 followers accompanied him......"

"However, before that, Sima Xuan, the general of the light car, had already been ordered by His Majesty to go to Nanchi first, and he had to protect more than 2,000 ......horsemen of Wuheng Duwei."

Two thousand plus two thousand, that's four thousand.

And he has successively defeated the Hujie Department and the Weilu Department of the Huns, and now even a brother of Shan Yu, the King of Guyan, who has a high status in the Huns, and his thousands of cavalry have also been forced to surrender.

It's simply ......

Mythology!

Legend!

Even more exaggerated......

He also crossed the bow and water, and continued to advance towards the north of the north!

Calculating the time, maybe now his horse's hooves have crossed the Hanhai Sea and stepped into the heart of the Huns.

Even, after the difficulty of Hou Mountain, the prancing horse in the mountain, and then Zen Gu Yan and the wolf Xu Mountain, twenty-seven years later, re-walk the journey of the champion Hou of the year!

Liu Ju even clenched his fists excitedly and waved it vigorously, and the countless grievances and depression in his chest were swept away at this moment!

The haze that was once buried deep in my heart has disappeared today, and the sky is clear!

He no longer has to be afraid of his younger brother, Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, and Li Guangli, the Haixi Hou behind him!

Because, he, the prince and prince of the Han Dynasty, from today onwards, also has a façade in his hand and a trump card!

It is enough to counter the trump card of Li Guangli Group!

Wang Yi also reacted immediately, knelt down and congratulated Liu Yi: "Congratulations to the family, congratulations to the family, the good news of Zhang Shizhong is coming today, and the country is very fortunate!" The world is very lucky! ”

Liu Ju listened, reluctantly restrained his mind, forced himself to be calm, and said softly: "This is the luck of the grandson, and it is the blessing of the ancestors!" ”

However, the trembling hands betrayed him deeply!

Since the general Changping was martyred, he, the crown prince, has no military support and cornerstone.

It also has to face attacks and blows from all directions.

Now, I can finally get through it!

Although, that lieutenant is actually his son's humeral henchman.

But what does it matter?
