Chapter 326: (Benefits of the New Deal)

In the yamen of the political envoy, Liang Gong looked at the kneeling people behind the desk in the lobby, and said a little depressedly: "Fellow villagers, my lord said before, after the new tax begins, the people don't need to pay grain, you just farm well, collect more and plant more often, and our political envoy will pay silver to buy your grain to ensure your life, you all go back..."

"What?" A woman of several tens said: "Why don't you look down on people, but you still don't accept it when we take the initiative to hand over food?" In the past, when you wanted to harvest, we couldn't get food, but now the world has changed? ”

"Son, shut up..."A middle-aged man scolded a few words, and then smiled and saluted Liang Gong: "Please don't be strange to adults, the little wife is a rough person." As he spoke, he said, "Actually, the little ones also know the prince... Oh no, I know Ming Gong's governance plan, but now Ming Gong is no longer the prince of the dynasty, no, without the support of the imperial court, our village is worried that Ming Gong's soldiers will not have enough to eat, so every household is connected in series, and all the food that should be handed over will not let the soldiers starve. ”

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Liang Gong's face was embarrassed, not that he didn't want to accept it, but Shangguan Yin Feng had already said that it was forbidden to accept food and any items from the people, and it was a violation of military law.

"My lord, you're here..."Liang Gong bowed to Shangguan Yin Feng, and then pointed to the people kneeling in the hall: "These people have come to pay for food, and they can't be persuaded to leave." ”

When the people heard that Shangguan Yin Feng was coming, they all turned around and saluted Shangguan Yin Feng: "Meet Ming Gong..."

"Fellow villagers, get up..."Shangguan Yin Feng walked to the back of the desk and sat on the chair: "Presumably Lord Liang has already told you, I have already given an order, food is the foundation of the people's life, and those who are officials and generals are not allowed to oppress the people and annex the land, so even if you take back your food, the soldiers under my command are now well fed and warmly dressed, if you all feel that you really want to make a contribution, then I suggest that you folks, now that the construction of my canal has begun, It is the moment when it is in full swing, if you want, you can go to help build the canal, or go to the mine to help with mining and transportation, you can rest assured, you are not working in vain, each person can get a tael of silver every month, and the construction site is full, so it can be regarded as your greatest help to me. ”

"Then Ming Gong, I'm waiting for the food I brought here?" The middle-aged man then asked.

Shangguan Yin Feng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You remember, if our army is really short of food, I will definitely ask the villagers for help, if not, then it is still according to the market price to buy, in a word, I, Shangguan Yin Feng, will not take a penny of the people under my rule, on the contrary, I will try my best to make the life of the people under my rule happy and rich." ”

"Knowing etiquette in a real way."

After instructing Liang Gong about some things, Shangguan Yin Feng hurried back to the lecture hall and instructed Huang Long to send Jinyi Wei to Jiaozhou Bay with his own arrows to urge the craftsmen to build ships as soon as possible.

Luoyang, the main hall of Weiyang Palace

Huang Wei was very polite to Liu Xuan kneeling etiquette, before coming Shangguan Yin Feng said to grovel, these are small things, let Liu Xuan personally kneel for you in the future, with Shangguan Yin Feng's instructions, Huang Wei took more than a dozen Jinyi guards and rode from Jinan to Luoyang, and the journey of nearly 1,000 miles took less than ten days.

Prime Minister Zhao Meng looked at Huang Wei with a gloomy face, then turned his head to look at Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan exchanged glances with him, and then smiled: "General Huang, I have heard the name for a long time, like thunder, get up." ”

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie..."

Seeing Huang Wei get up, Liu Xuan asked, "I don't know what the purpose of General Huang's trip is?" ”

Zhao Meng waited until Liu Xuan finished asking, and then then asked: "Huang Wei, do you know that now my Han Dynasty has millions of soldiers, and the land of Yongliang can be lowered in a short time. ”

When Huang Wei heard this, he sneered and looked at Zhao Meng and said, "Dare to ask Prime Minister Zhao, should I answer the words of His Majesty the Emperor, or should I answer your words?" ”

This is interesting, Liu Xuan is Zhao Meng's master, although Zhao Meng is the national abbot, but Liu Xuan is the king, Huang Wei poked the key point in one sentence, Zhao Meng hurriedly turned around and knelt down towards Liu Xuan and said: "The minister is guilty..."

"The prime minister is not guilty..."Liu Xuan waved his hand, the two of them had summed it up before, so naturally they didn't care, so he asked: "Is General Huang's trip here to provoke?" ”

Huang Wei arched his hand and said: "I don't dare, I can't hide it, now my lord is no longer the king of Changsha in the Cheng Dynasty, and everything in the Cheng Dynasty has nothing to do with my lord in the family." ”

Liu Xuan's face trembled even more when he heard this, and he showed a deserved joy for a while: "Really..."

Zhao Meng's face was displeased, thinking that this emperor really wouldn't hide his joy and anger at all.

"Didn't His Majesty the Emperor receive any news?"

Liu Xuan had already received it, but this was an uncertain answer, and when he didn't get the real news, he couldn't react rashly: "Of course I know." Say, what did Shangguan Yin Feng ask you to do on this trip? ”

"Back to His Majesty the Emperor, my lord asked me to come for one thing, that is, to ask His Majesty the Emperor to order your army to get out of the way in Xiangcheng, so that my Nanyang defenders can go to Xuzhou, don't block it on the way, that's all." Huang Wei said and looked at Liu Xuan very respectfully.

Liu Xuan suddenly lost his goal, what the hell is the situation, let me withdraw my troops from Xiangcheng? So he looked at Zhao Meng and motioned for Zhao Meng to answer.

Zhao Meng nodded, then turned around and asked, "Why, my Han Dynasty army is so much what you say?" ”

The general Chen Jun on the side even stood up in line and sneered: "My Han Dynasty army is now invincible, why don't you wait for it to be said?" What presumptuous..."

"General Huang should at least tell me a reason..."Liu Xuan looked at Huang Wei coldly.

"And tell Your Majesty the truth, after my father-in-law broke off with the Cheng Dynasty, I deeply feel that Nanyang can no longer be held, and it is useless to keep it, but Nanyang is the top priority for the Han Dynasty, with Nanyang, you can go straight to the land of Jingzhou and Changsha, and you can retreat to ensure the safety of Luoyang, presumably Your Majesty is also clear, Nanyang is a place where I gather heavy troops, and the stalk is in the throat, does Your Majesty feel that everything is a little unnatural?"

Not to mention, that's what it means to catch, Wancheng is stationed with Feng Yi's 100,000 Qiang soldiers, which can be described as a large army, and Liu Xuan, in order to get rid of the Tuoba clan, not only contacted the coalition forces of the Western Regions, but also placed 100,000 troops in Ruzhou to guard against Feng Yi's actions, once Ruzhou falls, Luoyang has no danger to defend.
