Chapter Forty-Nine: The Champa Rice is in Hand

In the face of Li Yan's strategy of favoring one over the other and betraying the people, Liu Yongluo was a little unbearable, but he did not criticize anything. This is already a balance that has been found between the imperial court and the landlords.

In the final analysis, the identities of Liu Yonghe and his ministers are not much different from those of the landlords, and the control and contention for the people is in essence a struggle for uneven division of accounts within the vested interest group.

But Liu Yong still couldn't be so cold-blooded as Li Yan after all, so he was uneasy, and turned his head to Zhuge Liang and said: "Zhang Mu is chaotic, I pity the hardships of the people, and Guanghan compiles the land tax and conscription are reduced by half, and they will always be customized." ”

"No, the minister has written it down." Prime Minister Zhuge Liang replied quickly and loudly.

"Hmm." Liu Yongchong Zhuge Liang expressed his satisfaction, turned to Li Yan again, and continued: "Emperor Gao once punished the white horse and swore an oath to the world: no knighthood unless meritorious, and no king unless Liu's family. Hu Ji, the captain of the Hubu Left Battalion, suppressed Zhang Muchao, made military achievements, and gave the Marquis of Guannei a reputation for meritorious service. ”

"The rest of the generals and soldiers are responsible for rewarding their meritorious deeds."

Reward merit, punish guilty, this should mean. Zhuge Liang and Li Yan are meaningless.

Seeing that the two acquiesced, Liu Yong spoke again: "The officials of the Guanghan County Government are all dismissed for their crimes, and the Imperial Doctor entrusted the county affairs to the counselor Du Qiong before leaving the county. Advised the doctor to appease the people of Guanghan for me, ran to visit, and worked hard, so Du Qiong was transferred to the Taishou of Guanghan County. ”

The teacher Du Qiong is not young, but he still worked tirelessly for Liu Yong to go to Guanghan and repay the favor, Liu Yong naturally wanted to find an opportunity to add an official to his teacher. Besides, with Du Qiong's ability, it is not a problem to lead a county taishou.

"The rest of the county and the two superintendents were appointed by the prime minister and the imperial historian. Do the prime minister and the imperial doctor have any objections? Liu Yong lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is determined to be sage, and the minister is happy and convinced!" To Liu Yong's surprise, Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, who was stable in the old city, took the lead in agreeing.

Imperial Doctor Li Yan was also unwilling, and immediately followed up: "The minister has no objection. ”

"Okay, then decide!" The personnel arrangements were successfully passed, and Liu Yong was very interested, "Oh, by the way, I have recruited Shifang Lieutenant Zhang Wei as the Nangong Guardian Order, and announced his entry into the I capital!" The public offices and people he left behind...... The secretary and other responsibilities are arranged by the department. ”

"No!" Zhuge Liang and Li Yan left the table and bowed and received the order.

At this time, Chuntuo entered from outside the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Dahonglu He Zong and Shangshu Ling Chen Zhen want to see?" ”

He Zong and Chen Zhen? What did the two of them ask to see together?

Liu Yongyang raised his hand, "Xuan!" ”

Dahonglu He Zong and Shang Shuling Chen Zhen entered side by side and finished the ceremony.

He Zongqi said: "Your Majesty, the former envoy comforted Nanzhong, and now Shang Shulang Du Zhen sent an envoy to return to the court, and recruited the prince of Huyi Funan in the south to pay tribute. Yuanyi guest clothes, contributions to the party, the minister came to ask His Majesty, whether to announce with a grand ceremony. ”

"Du Zhen is back?" As soon as he heard the news, Liu Yong couldn't hide his joy between his eyebrows, and asked repeatedly: "Du Zhen is back, what about others?" ”

"Your Majesty, Shang Shulang Du Zhen is settling down in the Dahonglu official residence to settle Fan Polo, the prince of Funan, who is about to stay." He Zong replied.

Van Polo?

After He Zong mentioned this, Liu Yongcai noticed that Du Zhen also brought back a prince of Funan on this trip.

"What do the prime minister and the imperial doctor think? Is there a grand ceremony to summon this prince of Funan? Liu Yong kicked the ball towards Zhuge Liang and Li Yan.

For Liu Yong to send an envoy to Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang has always thought that it was the curiosity of the young emperor, even if Du Zhen brought back a prince of Funan by mistake, but Zhuge Liang did not think that it would be beneficial for the country and the people to hold a proclamation ceremony with no money, and every drop of national strength in the country should be used on the blade of the country.

So Prime Minister Zhuge immediately expressed his attitude: "You must not use a grand gift!" ”

His expression was serious, and his tone was also very heavy: "Funanguo, I have heard very little, it must not be a big country, Your Majesty can summon it in the palace, and there is no need to mobilize the people." ”

On this point, Li Yan is also very cautious, "The prime minister's words are reasonable, and the minister seconded the proposal." ”

"Okay, Ruqing's words." For this Van Polo, Liu Yong also felt that it was not a big deal.

Everyone felt that Zhuge Liang's handling was the most fair, but Dahonglu He Zong sighed secretly and shook his head regretfully. A position like Da Honglu is already difficult to get involved with national events, especially the Da Honglu of Shu Han, and the tragic situation is even more conceivable.

This time, it is rare for Funan to send an envoy to pay tribute, He Zong and the whole office of the office, sit and wait for half a year not to open, open for half a year, but I didn't expect it...... The duck flew!

Hua Que

After Du Zhen settled Van Polo, Liu Yong immediately asked Du Zhen to come to Huaque to meet him.

After three months of absence, Du Zhen is still tall and thin, a lot darker, but the whole person is more energetic.

"Qing, it's been hard all the way!" Liu Yong beckoned him to the front.

"Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate to have fulfilled his mission!" Du Zhen was also very excited and stepped forward quickly.

Hearing him say this, Liu Yong was overjoyed and asked, "Is the task really completed?" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhancheng Dao was found by the minister in Funan." Du Zhen's eyes were full of joy and happiness.

"Good!" Liu Yong couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Liu Yong smiled and pulled Du Zhen to sit down, "Tell me how you found it." ”

Du Zhen sat down, his head slowly lowered, his eyes moved to the side, and he fell into a memory.

"Funan goes west to Linyi for more than 3,000 miles, in Haida Bay, its territory is vast for 3,000 miles, and there are cities and palaces. Everyone is ugly with black fists, and they are slumped. Straight in nature, not for thieves, to farming for business. After the old minister arrived in his country, he directly found the Champa rice. ”

"So, it's still easier to find Champa rice?"

"It's easy to find rice seeds, but it's not easy to find a way to Funan. Chen traveled all the way south, and it took a lot of hard work to find the road to Funan. ”

"I'm very relieved that I've worked hard. The plan for the present is to test the Champa rice first and test its characteristics. Liu Yong said this, and shouted outside: "Chuntuo, immediately Xuancheng I will let He Yi see him!" ”

After waiting for half an hour, Cheng I ordered He Yi to be summoned into the temple.

He Yi is about in his early thirties this year, with a huge physique, a broad face, and a dark official uniform with a copper seal and yellow ribbon. As soon as he saw Liu Yong, he bowed deeply: "Chen Cheng I will only meet Your Majesty!" ”

"He Qing, please take a seat."

He Yi sat still, glanced at Du Zhen casually, and asked, "I don't know if Your Majesty is calling, but what are your orders?" ”

"I Zhaoqing does have something important." Liu Yong looked at He Yi and talked eloquently: "Shang Shulang Du Zhen brought back a rice seed from Funan and said: Zhancheng rice. ”

"This rice has a short growing period, is unselective, adaptable, and has many conveniences. Zhenyiqing selected a number of official fields in Idu County to try planting and see how the effect was. ”
