Personally went down to the people, Liu Yuanfang felt the living conditions of the villagers under the rule of Xia Guo. After going around a few poor families, he was indeed poor, but on his face, he could finally see some hope.

Shangdang land is vast and sparsely populated, between the mountains and mountains, there is no shortage of water veins, and the cultivated land is not small. In the past, a large number of people were in the hands of the scholars, and when the Xia army came, the county was ploughed again, except for the tuntian affairs and the reward of the soldiers, a large amount of vacant land was redivided by Min Chun and cultivated by the people.

This move alone helped Xia settle the hearts of the people, and the leaders of the Qians in China always have an almost paranoid attachment to the land, after all, it is something that depends on survival. If you have land in your hands, food can grow in the land, and you can live, it is enough for ordinary people, and as for who is ruled by the upper class, not many people will really care.

The people of this township are Liu Xia's first batch of homesteaders. This year's autumn harvest did not harvest much, but relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, plus the prey in the mountains, it is not a problem to spend this winter. The family has also prepared the seeds for spring plowing next year, just waiting for spring to sow seeds, even if they have to pay taxes next year, they will not panic.

Liu Yuan once asked, is there anything bullying, but the chief hesitated for a moment and said no. And when Liu Yuan saw his reaction, he also knew that he had asked a stupid question.

……

After experiencing some local people, I set foot on the road back to the north again, this time there was not much delay, and the path went straight to Jinyang. Even so, by the time of Jinyang, the wheel of history had completely run over the three years of the first peace, and China ushered in the fourth year of the first peace (193).

The first message I received when I returned to Jinyang was that the three brothers Liu Heng, Liu Heng, and Liu Cheng had returned. Liu Yuan was placed in the Anyi Salt Farm, responsible for the affairs of the salt field for a period of time, originally planned for March, but now it has been postponed for nearly five months, seeing that Shangyuan is approaching, he was finally recalled by Liu Yuan.

Son, Liu Yuan already has a lot, but with the situation at this time, the one Liu Yuan values the most has to belong to the eldest third son. Liu Yuan did think about the matter of establishing an heir, and domestic ministers, such as Lan Zhizhi, also mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, and decided to set the foundation of the country early.

King Ma God has his own risks, maybe one day he will really die in battle, even if he is careful and spares his life, he is afraid of what happens. It's just that if the storage position is set early, he is very hesitant in his heart.

As for Lichang, it is a here for Liu Yuan, at the time of the great changes in China, the Great Xia country he laid down is not something that mediocre people can inherit and control.

After thinking about it, the heir position can be uncertain for the time being, but the cultivation of the sons can be let go. The rest of the sons are too young, and those who can enter Liu Yuan's eyes at this time are the three brothers of Liu Heng.

came to lead them into the army and arranged for them to be in charge of salt affairs, and it was Liu Yuan who began to inspect them. The third son probably also knew that he had behaved well all the way, at least he didn't let Liu Yuan catch what was a non-painful foot.

"Son-in-law to meet my father!" In the hall of the palace, the three sons bowed down. As soon as he returned to the house, the first thing Liu Yuan did was to call his third son to his knees.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Seeing the three sons standing in the hall, heroic and tall, they didn't see each other for months, and they seemed to have grown a lot taller. After a long time of training in the salt field, it doesn't seem to be in vain, and the temperament has changed a little.

"Tell me, how do you feel at the Dongchi Salt Farm? How much has the salt farm you are responsible for in the past few months? Liu Yuan asked lightly.

"Back to my father, my sons supervise the salt workers under him every day, and in April, they get a total of more than 30,000 catties of salt!" Liu Heng glanced at the two brothers next to him, pondered in his heart, slightly falsely reported the number, and looked at Liu Yuan nervously after speaking.

Liu Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't answer, seeing this, Liu Heng couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, and it was cold, and there was some fine sweat in his hands.

"What about you?"

Facing Liu Yuan's gaze, the corners of Liu Yuan's mouth rose slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "Erchen got a total of 18,000 catties of fine salt!" ”

Liu Yuan tapped his head twice, but didn't say anything.

At this time, Liu Yuan reminded him, and Liu Cheng also said: "Erchen is not as good as the two brothers, and he led 246 salt workers under his command, and obtained a total of more than 16,500 catties of fine salt. ”

"Huh!" Liu Yuan laughed twice expressionlessly, laughing so much that several people and brothers couldn't help but feel a hair in their hearts.

"You are in the salt field, do you know how many salt ponds there are in the east of the river, how many salt workers are there? Gu Qianfan ordered Su Shuang to go south to take charge of the salt affairs in Hedong, but after he arrived, how much salt would be produced in the following year? ”

"I don't know!" Hearing Liu Yuan's question, Liu Heng was a little at a loss, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense now, so he had to lower his head and say truthfully.

"Humph!" Liu Yuan snorted coldly and said directly: "You are in the salt farm, but I don't want you to be the supervisor of the salt farm. If you want to be a supervisor, you can use a lone husband, why do you need to wait for the prince's respect! ”

Seeing Liu Yuan's stern tone, Liu Heng was even more uneasy, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.

Liu Heng showed a slight contempt in his eyes, and took the initiative to say to Liu Yuan: "Father, as far as the sons know, Hedong is divided into East Pool, West Pool, and Six Small Pools, the main production area is East Pool, the West Pool is small and the output is very low, and the remaining six small salt pools are even more insignificant than the two pools. When he returned to the north, Erchen asked Lord Su Shuang, and the output of Dongchi was more than 400,000 catties. As for the number of salt workers, there are no statistics, and the sons don't know! ”

After speaking, he stood there honestly, bowing his head slightly, but with a relaxed expression.

There was silence in the hall for a long time.

"All right, you are lonely, go down!"

"No!"

"Liu Jue, did you do it on purpose?" The three brothers went out, and as soon as they went out, they looked left and right, and there were only a few guards, and Liu Heng immediately said viciously to Liu Heng.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean by that?" Liu Jue asked with a smile in his eyes and a "puzzled face".

Liu Heng didn't eat his set, picked up the corner of Liu Heng's clothes and said: "Your subordinates produce more than 20,000 catties of salt, why do you deliberately say less in front of your father?" ”

"Oh?" Liu Yu still looked indifferent: "I have the opportunity to perform in front of my father, but I am afraid that I can't report some more amounts, how can I deliberately underreport my brother?" Brother Wang is afraid that he has misunderstood! ”

Hearing the mockery in Liu Heng's tone, Liu Heng immediately tightened his fists. At this time, Liu Cheng came up and grabbed the two, and his voice was a little loud: "Two royal brothers, why is this such a gaffe in front of my father's hall, don't ruin the love between brothers!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng turned his head and glanced at Liu Cheng, and saw the "worried" on the face of this brother who had always been silent. His eyes narrowed slightly, he paused for a while, let go of Liu Jue, gently smoothed the folds of his chest for him, and chuckled: "Brother Cheng is right, it is for my brother to be wrong, and I almost broke the brotherhood between you and me!" ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Looking at Liu Heng's back, Liu Cheng couldn't help but show a hint of "disappointment" in his eyes, then lowered his head and bent down slightly to Liu Heng: "Brother Wang, I'm going back to the house to study!" ”

Liu Jue has always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, with the demeanor of a beautiful son and a handsome appearance, I am afraid that he can charm many young girls. It wasn't until the two brothers walked away that their expressions converged, and they muttered, "Liu Cheng......"

Liu Cheng buried his head in the corridor of the palace silently, his hands clenched involuntarily, and he thought to himself, is his performance a little "too much"?
