Chapter 34: The End of the Year
The Wei family's feud is over, although Wei Qi is still alive, but he is not in a hurry, now Guanzhong has been decided, but what is left to Ye Zhao is a dilapidated Guanzhong, which is in ruins, but the so-called broken and then established, a dilapidated Guanzhong, just allows Ye Zhao's new policy to be carried out more smoothly in Guanzhong.
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Liu Wei, Cai Yan, Xin'er, Ren Hongchang, Ye Zheng, Cai Yi and Liu Wei's mother and son have also been taken to Chang'an, which is undoubtedly novel for everyone who took the flying boat for the first time, especially Ye Zheng and Cai Yi, who are clamoring to take it again.
"Father, is this what you call the power of work?" Ye Zheng looked at the huge flying boat, compared to Cai Yi, who only knew how to play, Ye Zheng, who was already ten years old, had already begun to be able to apply what he had learned and explore the root of the problem under the guidance of Ye Zhao.
"Yes, this is the worker, Shi agriculture and industry and commerce, if the people are full of stomachs, the country should be agriculture-based, but when the development of agriculture has been enough to meet the needs of the people, and even when there is a large amount of surplus grain, you can release some labor, to engage in industry, commerce, the world is changing every day, if you always look at the world from the perspective of the ancestors, in the end it will only be eliminated by the times." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
Ye Zheng nodded a little as if he didn't understand, it seemed to be very reasonable, but how it was reasonable, he couldn't say it, Ye Zhao didn't continue to explain, he said too much, and the child couldn't understand it, so it was better to let him understand it slowly.
Liu Wei on the side said with a smile: "Although this journey is not tiring, but it is cold, I will wait until I go home." ”
"It's fine." Ye Zhao smiled and saluted Liu Wei and said, "Your Highness forgives your sins, tired Your Majesty for a long time." ”
"Captain doesn't need to be like this." Liu Wei nodded, as if the dirtiness of the past had not happened, but the crack that had appeared had been engraved in the hearts of the two.
Ye Zhao asked people to escort Liu Wei and others back to the palace first, and he took Liu Wei's mother and son into the newly built palace, although he was a royal person, but since he had been crowned king, according to the etiquette law, he was not qualified to continue to live in the palace.
The palace was rebuilt from Li Dao's general's mansion in the past, and Ye Zhao ordered people to redecorate it, compared with the past, it was a little less nouveau riche and a little more luxurious.
"Captain Lao bothered." He Hou was obviously quite satisfied with the new mansion, and said to Ye Zhao with a smile.
"The minister is here, and there is another matter to discuss with His Royal Highness and the Queen Mother." After Ye Zhao sat down with He Hou and Liu Wei, he bowed to the two of them.
"The captain has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." He Hou nodded and smiled.
"The minister has handed over the chapter to the Xuchang court, hoping to support His Royal Highness as the king of Yong, in charge of the northwest area, the Son of Heaven has agreed, it is the minister who hopes to be able to play the banner of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness from today, can also open a government and build a government." Ye Zhao smiled.
"That's true!?" Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and he stood up and said.
"Argue!" He Hou glanced at Liu Bian, and Liu Biao sat down stupidly.
Ye Zhao sneered in his heart, he didn't expect that the cowardly young man in the past, after being contaminated with power, would be so obsessed with power, and he couldn't see himself clearly!
He bowed down and said with a smile: "Naturally, when you speak, you have always been true to your word!" ”
Compared with Liu Wei's impetuousness, He Hou has experienced so many years of ups and downs, but he is much calmer, smiled and nodded: "Taiwei does things, this palace and the debate are at ease, since Taiwei thinks it is feasible, then follow Taiwei's will and let Taiwei call the shots." ”
"Queen Mother!" Liu Wei frowned and looked at He Hou, but was stopped by He Hou with his eyes.
"Your Ministers obey." Ye Zhao bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, the minister will retire first!" ”
"Captain go slowly!" He Hou got up and prepared to send him off, but was persuaded by Ye Zhao and left directly.
"Queen Mother, I want to open a mansion and build a government, what does he have to do with Ye Zhao? Why did you ask him to come to Zhang Luo? After Ye Zhao left, Liu Wei finally couldn't help but look at He Houdao.
"What did my son learn from the Captain in the first place?" He Hou looked at Liu Wei in disappointment: "You open the government by yourself, who will listen to you?" Taiwei asked Liu Xie to crown you as the king of Yong, but it was just to block the mouths of the people, you look at this mansion, whether it is the palace guards or the cooks or maidservants, which one really supports you? He just needs your name to recruit talents from all over the world, and at the same time, he can also be free from the control of the imperial court, and he has the name of righteousness, so that you can open a mansion and build a government. ”
"Then why say yes?" Liu Wei looked at He Hou in a daze, and made trouble for a long time, he was just a puppet, and he was not even as comfortable as the rich prince before?
"Didn't you hear what the captain said?" Empress He sighed and said: "The imperial court has issued an edict, even if my son should not, the name of King Yong will still be used, and if I inform you at this time, I will also inform you and me." ”
"This ......" Liu Wei looked at He Hou in distraction, a little unacceptable: "Then what should I do?" ”
"How to do it before, how to do it in the future, the things in Shuzhong, the Taiwei has been vigilant against you, what you have to do now is to eliminate the vigilance of the Taiwei, you are still young, more than ten years younger than the Taiwei, as long as you live longer than him, one day, after a hundred years, there will be a chance, if you collide with him at this time, it is you who will suffer after all!" He Hou said in a deep voice.
"100 Years...... Afterwards!? Liu Wei's eyes widened in disbelief: "How long do you have to wait?" Even if Ye Zhao is killed, Ye Zhao still has descendants! ”
Ye Zhao is only thirty-five years old after the New Year, and he is in the prime of life, what does this mean is to ask Liu Wei to boil Ye Zhao to death!
Not to mention whether he can survive Ye Zhao, even if he can, Ye Zhao's heir is already ten years old, if he survives Ye Zhao, can he still survive Ye Zheng to death?
"Ye Zhao is a genius, his son may not be like Ye Zhao!" Empress He sighed, what can she say, now Ye Zhao is in power, Guanzhong and Shu are all Ye Zhao's world, this Shu plus Guan Chinese Wu, none of them are willing to argue with Liu, Wenchen does not, military generals...... Liu Wei didn't even have a chance to get in touch, not to mention, even if he could persuade one or two generals to fall to this side, but He Hou had inquired that under Ye Zhao's account, in non-war times, except for the border generals, the rest of the generals only had personal guards around them, and they were not in charge of the army.
There is no military power in his hands, no matter how many ideas he has, he is just an idea, Ye Zhao didn't leave Liu Wei the slightest chance at all, what to use to fight with others?
He Hou and the female stream couldn't think of any good way, so they could only pin their hopes on Ye Zhao's descendants.
"In short, my son wants to live well, and then have a son with Concubine Tang, and teach him well, so I ask Cai Weng to teach, even if my son can't bring down the Ye family, I must let my grandson have this ability, Cai Weng can teach a Ye Hou, and he will definitely be able to teach a talent like Ye Hou!" He Hou pondered.
Liu Wei: "......"
……
"Lord, is it too much to divide the fertile soil in this pass, and divide three percent into animal husbandry?" In Taiwei's mansion, seeing that the New Year is about to pass, Ye Zhao, Xi Zhicai, and Li Ru have begun to naturalize the development of the coming year.
Now Guanzhong is peaceful, the future development of agriculture will be the foundation that determines the future of Guanzhong, the people take food as the sky, food is always put in the first place, Ye Zhao promotes breeding, animal husbandry, no one objects to this, but a large amount of land is used for breeding, it is a bit wasteful.
"It depends on how it is divided!" Ye Zhao circled a circle on the map, and drew out Jingzhao, Fufeng, Hedong, Zuo Fengyi and Hongnong: "The land of these five counties is fertile with water and soil, and planting can be done with half the effort, but it is like the five counties of Longyou, the land is thin, the arable land is small, and it is planted every year, and the soil is insufficient. ”
"Moreover, the population of Guanzhong is only 2 million now, and with the fertile soil and manure in Jingzhao and other places, the food produced is sufficient for self-sufficiency, and there is even a surplus, and it can also be adjusted before the population is not dense."
About soil power is actually the natural fertility of the soil, this point before the appearance of manure, people have actually found that no matter how fertile the land, if planted for a long time, it will gradually weaken, but there was no special statement at that time, since the appearance of manure, some experienced and some cultural farmers began to sum up some experience, now in the Chengdu/Du Academy, there are special books to refer to, now Ye Zhao said, the two can also understand.
"In addition, some vegetables and vegetables cultivated in Shuzhong will also be tried here, in short, now Guanzhong is dilapidated, but there are also dilapidated benefits, we can have a large amount of idle land for some experiments." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"What the lord said is not unreasonable." Hearing this, Xi Zhicai nodded, in fact, don't say that the five counties can produce their own grain, even if they can't, now the agricultural system in Shuzhong has taken shape, and the annual harvest is enough to feed the people of the two states.
And the effect of meat, everyone gradually discovered that now the officers and soldiers under Ye Zhao's command are generally strong and strong, and they can also see at night, and high-intensity training can also support them, which is the result of the supply of meat and some fruits and vegetables in the army from time to time, not to mention the elite troops in each army.
Now, if you don't count the newly surrendered Xiliang Army, the soldiers in Ye Zhao's army are placed in the princes' army, even if they are ordinary soldiers, they are all elite soldiers in the princes' army, but the cost of supporting these armies is also more than five times that of the same number of princes' army.
In addition, with more and more types of food, Shuzhong's diet has begun to diversify, anyway, Xi Zhicai has been in Shuzhong for so many years, and the whole person has gained weight, and he can quit cold food, thanks to these delicacies.
It is also for this reason that after the two of them raised their own questions about Ye Zhao's naturalization in agriculture and animal husbandry and were answered by Ye Zhao, they did not ask more, and Ye Zhao was obviously more forward-looking in this regard.
