It's been almost a year since the snow was falling, and the weekend had been crossed.

He spent the first Chinese New Year's Eve after coming here in the Chu Kingdom. Looking at the two beauties snuggled in his arms, he couldn't help but think of Su Yuan and Yuhuan in another era, I don't know if they are doing well now? And Shih Tzu, what about her?

In the past year, Cheng Jia and Cheng Pan took charge of the training of the army on weekends, and strived to train a Chu State Iron Cavalry in the shortest possible time.

As for Doujiao and Douban, after being beaten by him last time, all his thoughts were on agricultural construction.

According to the incentive policy set up over the weekend to stimulate farming, in the past few months, the grain output has doubled on the basis of the past, not only the task of saving in the granaries of various places, but also a part of the surplus, which has been escorted to Yingdu and flooded the state treasury.

Now, the entire Chu State is showing a thriving scene, and everyone can see that the sleeping lion of the Chu State has really awakened!

In the autumn of 611 BC, the third year after the succession of King Chuzhuang.

According to the original historical records, this year, heavy rain fell in the sky in the Chu State, and a plague and famine broke out, which was a year of great disaster. The surrounding ethnic groups rebelled one after another, seriously threatening the security of the Chu State. Rong first rebelled in the southwest, and Yong and Qunman, Lu and Baipu also waited for an opportunity to rebel against Chu. The situation in the state of Chu is tense. The king of Chuzhuang decisively sent his army to fight back, defeating Lu and Baipu, and causing the rebels in the two places to return with a feather. So the king of Chuzhuang took advantage of the victory to pursue, concentrated his strength on attacking the Yongren with all his strength, and finally destroyed the Yong State in one move.

From then on, the state of Chu further consolidated the rear, strengthened its ties with Ba and Qin, and tried to become the hegemon. It can be said that this year is the year of the catastrophe and the year of the hegemony of the Chu State.

In order to better seize this opportunity, the weekend prepared food a year in advance to deal with the famine, so that most of the Chu State was still an iron bucket, not at all like the historical records, plague and famine, and the people were not able to make a living.

In response to the famine, while opening the granaries in various places, I deliberately asked someone to count the existing grain reserves over the weekend. It was found that the granaries in various places were completely self-sufficient, and there was no need to transfer grain from Cai Guo at all.

Because farming was encouraged before, most of the people in Chu had surplus grain in their hands. A small number of people who have no surplus food can also receive grain from the granaries of various prefectures and counties.

Looking at the sky full of haze and the barren fields, the people from all over the Chu State carried the grain distributed from the granary, not to mention how happy they were, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

In the past, when there was a famine, many people died in the Chu State, and the local prefectures and counties would not deliberately take out their own food and distribute it to the common people. Even if the king of Chu transferred money and grain from Yingdu, he would be deducted by many traitors in the middle, and when it was in their hands, there would be nothing left. It was not until the weekend came that granaries were built in various places, and soldiers were stationed to supervise the officials of the local prefectures and counties, so that they did not dare to fill their own pockets, and every grain of grain could be distributed to the people.

Although there was a natural disaster, the people still lived a prosperous life, and they were naturally grateful to King Zhuang.

"I don't know who spread the rumors, and said that our king is mediocre, if the kings who can feed us are mediocre kings, is there still a virtuous king under the sky?"

"That's it! Surely the man who said this was deliberately slandering our king, and if I knew who it was, I would have to skin him and vent my anger for our king! ”

"With such a king here, can I Chu Guoyan be strong? I heard that all local states and counties are recruiting soldiers recently, why don't we try it too? You can't go wrong to die for such a king! ”

"Eh, count me in, I'll go too!"

I've been trying to expand my army over the weekend, and although the number has been increasing, it's still far from the goal of the weekend. But recently, the number of troops has grown like a blowout.

"Now, the number of troops in the state of Chu is greater than the number of troops in the state of Jin." The weekend is one step closer to domination, and my heart is full of joy. When I arrived in the harem, I was more energetic.

After pampering Xi Xuan and Lin Fei, they summoned the two of them to sleep for three consecutive days on the weekend. Xi Xuan now finally understands what the little eunuch meant. Zhuang Wang is really not an ordinary person, if Lin Fei didn't share it with her, she would definitely not be able to bear it. Thinking of the love of King Zhuang and her for the first time, my heart was filled with emotion again, and I gave wholeheartedly to the weekend.

This transformation of hers was deeply felt over the weekend. As long as he has nothing to do with principles, he still takes care of Xiguo. As for Lin Fei, she gave some silver taels to her family on the weekend, so that her family could have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Lin Fei and Xi Xuan felt that they were pampered by King Zhuang in the palm of their hands, and they were very grateful to him. When it came to bed, the two of them tried to please him as much as possible for the weekend and satisfy him.

Although he dotes on them on weekends, he does not indulge in gentleness, and he spends more time on political affairs. Recently, Doujiao and Baojia reported the amount of grain in the country. After accounting, in addition to being used as part of the grain for military rations and the other part for temporary storage, there is still some surplus.

There was a famine in the state of Chu, and the same was probably true in other countries. However, the kings of other countries did not prepare for a rainy day as they did on the weekend, and now there is a shortage of food in all countries, and the price of food has risen as a result.

The last thing that is lacking on weekends right now is food.

If the surplus grain of Chu is sent to the trading house and let the trading house resell it, it will make a lot of money on the weekend.

Immediately found Qin Qian on the weekend. Let him sell all the surplus grain to other countries. Who called Qin Qian his most trusted minister?

Qin Qian slapped his ass again. "King Zhuang is really wise and far-reaching, and we can't wait for it."

"Hurry up and do something for me, don't make a fool of yourself here."

After Qin Gan took a heavy interest on the weekend, some of the old and important ministers wanted to befriend him and pulled him into his own small group. However, Qin Qian is a measured one. When other ministers gave him gifts, he accepted them all, and he befriended him and did not refuse to come. However, he turned his head and sent him what he had sent to him, and he had made friends with him and reported it to the weekend without any concealment. He knows his place very well. To put it nicely, he is King Zhuang's right and left hand, and to put it mildly, he is King Zhuang's dog. King Zhuang asked him to bite whomever he wanted, and there would never be any ambiguity.

Moreover, Qin Qian can always get things done on the weekend. Within a few days of telling him about the sale of grain over the weekend, he successfully sold all the surplus grain. At the same time, without being instructed by the weekend, he handed over the account book of the grain sales to the weekend.

Before the weekend, I got three thousand taels of silver from the Jin Kingdom, but I didn't expect that this time the grain was sold for seven thousand taels. "I'm really rich this time."
