Chapter 520: A Harvest Year
Similarly, Zhang Xiao, the king of Zhao, who heard the news of Empress Dowager Xuan's death, also showed a little joy on his face! For the impression of Empress Dowager Xuan, Zhang Xiao can be said to be from "The Biography of Miyue". The Empress Dowager Xuan of the Qin State is really powerful, and her participation in the politics of the Qin State can be said to have opened a precedent for the harem to participate in politics!
Moreover, she is not the same as Cixi, doing all those things that lose power and humiliate the country! When Empress Dowager Xuan was dealing with the politics of the Qin State, she was on par with the Ming lords of the Qin State in previous dynasties, and she was definitely an outstanding female politician!
Compared with the gratifying nature of this incident, the news from the land of Jixi is even more exciting!
Empress Dowager Xuan left in October, and at this time, the wheat planted in Jixi had already been harvested into the granary! At the time of the initial repatriation, slaves and people who volunteered, as well as the attendants of the palace who did miscellaneous labor, at least had to be planted in the land of Jixi for three years without compensation before they could count the land as their own!
Therefore, all the grain harvested in the land of Jixi this time was handed over to the treasury! And the internal history of Shen Di, when he met King Zhao before, he cried and complained about poverty every minute, and now there are carts of grain, coming to the granary near Handan, Shen Tu squinted with a smile, and his heart blossomed......
used to live a life of tight clothes and food before, and when he suddenly made him a nouveau riche, it was really difficult to adapt all of a sudden!
Outside Handan City, there is a big granary only a few dozen miles away from the city! It was built during the period of King Wuling, and originally there were soldiers stationed here, but with the implementation of the policy of paying equal attention to merchants and farmers in Zhao State, the granary here was never filled, and the soldiers who waited here were also sent to other places because of the difficulty of transporting grain and grass......
Now, the granary, which had been abandoned for almost decades, has been reopened! I have to say that the bumper harvest in Jixi has exceeded everyone's expectations!
Zhang Xiao, the king of Zhao, who came in a car, was watching a column of armor soldiers carrying grain! He said happily to the plain king beside him: "Uncle Wang, it is really beyond the expectation of a widow that the land of Jixi can have such a harvest!" ”
Beside King Zhao, Xiangguo Yuxin, Lin Xiangru, Neishi Shendi, and Wei Jia ...... A group of civil servants and military generals are witnessing this historical moment! Zhao Guo, whose agriculture is weak, has never had such a bumper harvest year!
Listening to King Zhao's happy words, Pingyuan Jun greeted him with a smile on his face and said: "Back to the king, after hearing that there is such a bumper harvest in the land of Jixi, Queen Qi is already discussing with the courtiers, and wants to send an envoy to Zhao to prepare to return it!" ”
After Zhang Xiao heard Pingyuan Jun's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "When I took the Yan Kingdom before, I asked Uncle Wang to go to Linzi to make it clear, and exchange the land of Yanzhi for the land of Jixi!" Such a reversal is like taking state affairs as a child? ”
After listening to what King Zhao said, all the ministers behind him burst into laughter! The queen of Qi, the Empress Dowager Wei of Zhao, and the Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin all influenced the development of the court situation with their keen political vision......
After the death of the king of Qi, the queen of Qi relied on her own skills, was cautious in dealing with Qin, and was honest with the princes, so the king of Qi reigned for more than 40 years, and the state of Qi did not suffer from war......
Even in Sima Qian's "Historical Records", he said: "The king is the queen." Such an evaluation!
And when he saw that Pingyuan Jun was talking about the affairs of Qi State, Lin Xiangru, who had been watching everything idly, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, Qi State An Pingjun has been in Handan for a long time, when does the king want to summon him?" ”
Since Anping Juntian Shan listened to Wang Ran's words, he rushed all the way to Zhao! Compared with the rising star of Zhao Guochaotang, Tian Dan had to find Lin Xiangru to come and introduce him!
And Zhang Xiao was happy after hearing Lin Xiangru's words! I don't know what's going on these days, but happy events are coming one after another!
Tian Dan's Fire Ox Formation Breaking Yan can be said to be the pillar of Qi State, and now like Zhao, Zhang Xiao said busily: "Uncle, how long has Tian Dan been in Zhao?" Why did he join Zhao? ”
"Your Majesty! After the death of King Qi Xu, he was an important minister of the court of Qi State...... Hey, now Anpingjun is only in the minister's mansion, taking a nap for more than a few months, today I heard Pingyuan Jun talk about the queen, and the minister just talked about Anpingjun! In the face of King Zhao's mutuality, Lin Xiangru had to talk about Tiandan!
And although Lin Xiangru didn't talk about An Pingjun in detail, everyone in the audience understood why An Pingjun Tiandan fled from Qi to Zhao State!
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Tian Dan retreated bravely from such a rapid, I have to say, it is indeed a wise move!
After hearing this, Zhang Xiao, the king of Zhao, naturally nodded knowingly! He looked back at Lin Xiangru and said, "No one knows!" When he returns to the palace, the widow immediately recruits An Pingjun to come! ”
"Whoa!" Seeing that King Zhao went back, he summoned An Pingjun, and Lin Xiangru immediately replied with joy!
And after Lin Xiangru talked about An Pingjun in the middle, many ministers in the entourage had no intention of continuing to stay here! Zhang Xiao, the king of Zhao, looked at Neishi Shentu and said: "Neishi, has the grain from the land of Jixi been transported?" ”
"Your Majesty, except for the few grains that are placed in the Gaotang City, the rest are all transported back to this place!"
Because the land of Jixi was used by King Zhao at the beginning, there was still a Lecheng led by Zhao Shi to station! Therefore, food and other things will never be placed in Gaotang City!
This is also the idea that Zhang Xiao discussed with Yu Xin, Lu Buwei and others before!
During the Warring States Period, the reason why the generals could transfer troops with the tiger talisman given by the king, and the monarch was not afraid of some generals with ulterior motives.
The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!
Without the supply of food and grass, the king can not be afraid of each other! And although Zhang Xiao trusts Lecheng in every way, there are some things that are better to prevent problems before they happen!
Zhao Kuangyin, who was behind the yellow robe, said to Shi Shouxin and other ministers when he released his military power with a glass of wine: "I know that you will not betray the widow, but if your subordinates are also greedy for wealth and wealth, and support you for evil, can you be the master?" ”
There is not enough trust, only relative trust!
Now, although the grain from the land of Jixi is transported to Handan, and then transported back according to their needs! But it is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiao can rest assured......
After hearing Neishi's words, Zhang Xiao was ready to get up and leave! This time when he went out to the palace, Zhang Xiaoke had another thing to do!
