Chapter 138: The Pony Concentration Camp
Stepping into the territory of Shuofang, Luo Tong looked at the fields on the edge of Shuofang City.
The vicinity of Shuofang belongs to the northern region, which is more suitable for animal husbandry than farming, but the Han people are a farming-based ethnic group after all, even if they are in the grassland, they cannot change the habits of this ethnic group. They had cultivated farmland suitable for cultivation in the grasslands near Shuofang, but now the fields were full of potholes, stones, and traces of trampling by thousands of horses.
Obviously, it was because of what Liu Min and Liu Lan sent people to do in order to take Shuofang, and under their interference, all the fields in Shuofang became wasteland, and there was no harvest, which led to the tragic situation in Shuofang City. Thinking of the misery of the people of Shuofang, the hatred for Er Liu suddenly rose. He forgot that he came up with the idea of yin damage, and Er Liu perfectly implemented his meaning.
"Lao Tzu wants to see what these two smiling tigers will look like?" Luo Tong hatefully looked at Shuofang City from afar.
Until now, thinking about the scolding analysis in Li Shimin's letter, coupled with the appointment of the imperial court, I am still a little stunned: I am still a little younger, and I never thought that Liu Min and Liu Lan would be so ruthless, and they would hide knives in their smiles and play so slippery. In his opinion, it is just to open a position to help the people. If you exceed your authority, you will have more power, and it will be okay to be punished.
Thinking about it like this, he didn't take the worries of Liu Boying, Ma Zhou and others to heart, so as not to complicate things.
Luo Tong actually has his own ideas when he does this, because the emperor is Li Shimin. is an ancient emperor who is on a par with the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and he can't hide it from him with ordinary fancy thoughts, he doesn't have a certain level of ability, and he doesn't have a lot of thoughts, so he can see it in how he justifies it. Instead of making him feel that he shirks responsibility, it is better to take responsibility. This punishment can also show that he is honest. There is no shirking responsibility for cheating and slippery.
It's good to do what you do yourself, and there's no need to involve everyone.
How calm he dares to be is also because he understands Li Shimin's personality. Li Shimin still has a certain tolerance for meritorious heroes. Historically, Hou Junji intended to rebel. Li Shimin pardoned him on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence. Wei Chi Jingde went crazy at the banquet he held, and almost blinded Li Daozong, a relative of the emperor and the Tang Dynasty, and he was also pardoned.
He didn't do anything in Xiazhou, so he wouldn't be punished severely. never expected that Liu Min and Liu Lan, the two smiling tigers, would link his random behavior with a plot of misdeeds and put him to death.
Afterwards, listening to the analysis of Ma Zhou and Shangguan Yi, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and secretly glad that the emperor was a Ming monarch like Li Shimin, who was able to see the slightest gap and give a punishment that was not a punishment.
"Liu Min and Liu Lan's damage to Shuofang is too great, Shuofang has been fatally hit, the population is sparse, and the fields are barren. We must restore the fields and canals before the year, otherwise, we will miss next year's spring planting. "Ma Zhou deserves to be Ma Zhou. It is very Fan Zhongyan's style of worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world.
Luo Tong devoted his mind to military affairs, and indeed did not consider Shuofang's government affairs. Maybe it's because Gyeongju, Suiju, and Yeonju don't need him to worry about it. has its own history of assassination in three states, so he neglects to take charge of government affairs.
Now the government affairs of Xiazhou are in the hands of Liu Min and Liu Lan, and when he takes over as the governor of Xiazhou, the two will be transferred to the south to serve as assassins, and everything in Xiazhou will be handled by him with full authority.
How to deal with this, Luo Tongmo said that he had no clue at all. I just didn't even think about it.
Fortunately, he has Ma Zhou in his hands, and the value of an excellent subordinate is also reflected here. Ma Zhou not only thought about this problem. With his outstanding political talents, he has also sorted out a series of governance plans.
This people live on food. If you want to develop Shuofang and truly become a military base for the decisive victory of the grassland in the Central Plains, the first priority is to develop the fields.
Only when there is land can there be hope. The fields around Shuofang are dry fields, which are extremely difficult to cultivate, and the yield is too low due to manual farming. If you want to achieve results in a short period of time, you need enough cattle.
It is impossible for this Datang to invest too much ploughing cattle for Shuo Fang to reclaim the dry land that has been barren.
Ploughing cattle can only make them think! Fortunately, when he gave the spoils to the imperial court, he listened to Ma Zhou's words, and finally regretted leaving 10,000 heads, otherwise, there would be no way to carry out spring ploughing.
"What Brother Ma said is extremely true!" Shangguan Yi said worriedly: "But people are needed to repair fields, land reclamation, and water conservancy, and no one can do anything." ”
Luo Daodao: "There are more than 30,000 soldiers in Shuofang, these people are not good than the people of Qingzhou, Suizhou, and Yanzhou, they let Liang Shi play and never come back from training, I think all of them let the retired farmers just do it, they have no food at home to survive this winter, they can work for food, anyway, we have captured so many barley." ”
In the past, he felt that the soldiers of Gyeongju and Suizhou were not good than ordinary people, but the Shuofang army was ten times worse than the people of Sanzhou.
"Also, we have now recovered Shuofang, controlled the Great Wall, Yanzhou and Suizhou have become the heart, the chaotic Turks are simply unable to invade, continue to retain 70,000 troops, will only be realized, except for the Modao army and the soldiers who participated in the expedition are all retained, the remaining 50,000 people will be eliminated by the survival of the fittest, and the 40,000 army will be enough to deal with all the invading enemies, and if you practice well, you can use it as 200,000. With the addition of the Shuofang army, we have 60,000 young people for nothing! 60,000 people, more things to do in one winter. What do the two gentlemen think? ”
Ma Zhou and Shangguan Yi glanced at each other, and Ma Zhou said: "This method is feasible, but it needs to be reported to the imperial court." ”
"Naturally!" suffered a big loss, and Luo Tong also had a long memory.
This is to enter Shuofang City, and the scene in Shuofang City is much better than when he first came in.
The people who came and went were energetic and energetic, but because of the destruction, none of the shops on the street were open, and no merchants were willing to come here to do business.
Luo Tong did not have much distress about this, but was full of confidence.
He is indeed a novice in government affairs, but he has Ma Zhou, Shangguanyi, and Liu Renliang in hand, and he is afraid of a fart.
The former was a politician who assisted Li Shimin in building the Tang Dynasty with a high status, Shangguanyi was the prime minister who ascended to the throne by virtue of his talent during the Li Zhi period, and the last prime minister who was extremely successful in governing Baekje in both civil and military affairs.
As a superior, the wisdom of his subordinates is his wisdom, with them, why worry about the uncertain governance of Xiazhou?
I went straight all the way to the Shuofang Residence.
Liu Min and Liu Lan, who heard the news, came out bitterly to greet them, looking at Luo Tong, who was sitting on the horse, and the two of them thought about their respective appointments, and their hearts were cold. They didn't expect it to end like this.
"Hello, two smiling tiger stabs! Thanks to you, I, Rotong, are back. I'm not dead yet, isn't it very disappointed, surprised, and lost...... "Luo Tong naturally doesn't have any good feelings about these two people trying to kill him villain, and the horses are all speaking ill of each other, and the unspoken rules of officialdom that stabbed him in the back with a smile and a smile don't work for him.
Hate is hate, there is no need to be coy.
What's more, these two smiling tigers have no hope in this life.
It turned out that Liu Min and Liu Languan were promoted, but the assassin history was more powerful than their Xia Governor Shi and Xia Zhou Sima, but there were many kinds of states.
Liu Min was assigned to Yizhou, and Liu Lan was assigned to Rongzhou, both of which are prefectures and counties close to ethnic minorities, which are located in the south of the Tang Dynasty and belong to remote areas that are not in the main development zone, and even the transmission of information is not very convenient, which is almost equivalent to exile. This is far away, and the political future is bleak.
In fact, with Li Shimin's wrist ability, he knows who has the greatest credit for this Shuo Fang. If Liu Min and Liu Lan don't play this game, they will definitely be rewarded and reused, but the two of them are biased and misguided, and they moved a stone and smashed it on their feet.
In the face of Luo Tong's vicious words, Liu Min and Liu Lan were speechless, and at this time, they were stared at by Yaochi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Li Yesi, Almaty, Fang Yiai and other murderous generals.
The two also knew that they were at a loss, and they were punished so heavily, and they also knew that Luo Tong's position in the Tang Dynasty was not something they could shake, and they didn't dare to be arrogant, and they did the transfer of power at the city gate with their heads low, this Xiazhou didn't want to stay for a moment, and they couldn't stay anymore, and their ill-intentioned eyes made them afraid that they wouldn't survive tonight.
Er Liu looked at the lineup in front of him, his intestines were repentant, and the two of them only wanted to slap themselves a few times now:
Luo Tong is a protégé of the Son of Heaven and the emperor's son-in-law;
Qin Huaiyu is the eldest son of Qin Qiong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and the emperor's son-in-law;
Cheng Chuliang is the second son of Cheng Yanjin, the general of the Right Military Guard, and the emperor's son-in-law;
Li Yesi is the second grandson of Li Jingyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the emperor's son-in-law;
Fang Yiai is the second son of Fang Xuanling, the left servant of Shangshu Province, and the emperor's son-in-law;
Du He is the second son of Du Ruhui, the right servant of Shangshu Province, and the emperor's son-in-law.
the emperor's six sons-in-law, and all of them have a backer who is too big to be bigger; Luo Tong's background is slightly weaker, but he is the leader of the six emperors' sons-in-law, others don't think they have a chance, he is good, this opportunity is in front of him, and he is still obsessed with trying to frame Luo Tong.
Luo Tong really wants to be convicted, and the other five people can't escape the involvement, if this group of teenagers is unlucky, what is the difference between offending Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui?
It was only at this time that the two of them discovered Luo Tong's powerful background, and this realization made the two almost fall to the ground, and this life is over!
Villains often think that others have the same mind as themselves!
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are deeply elegant, how can they be the same as them?
Luo Tong saw that Liu Min and Liu Lan looked like mourners, and they didn't have the idea of bullying, so they simply turned out of sight and turned directly to the Governor's Mansion.
