Chapter 159: Autumn Harvest

Hao Jing's whole body stiffened, until Wu Shaogang left the room, he still didn't make any movement, Wu Shaogang's words were like a shocking spring thunder, which blew up his mind blank. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

About half an hour later, Hao Jing moved slightly, he tried to stand up, but the numbness of his body made him stagger, and he could only stand reluctantly on the edge of the table.

The huge impact still existed, and Wu Shaogang's words entered his mind word for word, and they were firmly remembered.

At this time, Hao Jing finally vaguely understood the meaning of his coming to Luzhou Prefecture, and in the next short time, he must also make his own decision, Wu Shaogang is not an ordinary person, he will not delay in doing things, once he Hao Jing decides to swear allegiance to Kublai Khan, then the ending of waiting is to disappear forever.

In terms of strength, the current Wu Shaogang is not qualified to compare with Kublai Khan, Mongolia has a huge territory, and nearly a million male soldiers, if it is not because of internal fluctuations, he will always think about destroying the Southern Song Dynasty court and unifying the world, Wu Shaogang is just the deputy envoy of Sichuan and the defense envoy of Tongchuan Fulu, and the place that can be controlled is small and pitiful, and the army strength under its control is unknown, and the court of the Great Song Dynasty is very strict with military generals, whether Wu Shaogang can ensure his own safety, was not punished by the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one was accurate.

But Wu Shaogang's momentum, as well as the confidence and calmness he showed, made Hao Jing feel a chill in his body.

This is a person who can do great things, and if he wants to achieve something, he will definitely do his best.

Savoring Wu Shaogang's words again, Hao Jing suddenly figured out some things, he always felt that there were some differences between Wu Shaogang and Kublai Khan, from a personal point of view, Wu Shaogang's temperament was even stronger than Kublai Khan's, but why this happened, Hao Jing never understood.

Carefully pondering Wu Shaogang's words, we can find part of the answer.

Kublai Khan is a hero, ambitious, and tenacious, but the constraints of his identity as the Great Khan of Mongolia allow him to see the interests of the Mongolian steppe magnates and safeguard the interests of the Mongolian steppe magnates, Kublai Khan will not let others share the fruits of victory, even if it is the low-level Mongols and the people with unusual status, only the Mongol nobles are the real masters of the Mongol dynasty.

Wu Shaogang is different, he has the mind to help the world, and his real starting point is for the ordinary people, thinking of the people living a comfortable and comfortable life.

This is the difference, one is truly open-minded, and the other is always thinking about their own interests.

The contrast between the high and the low came out immediately.

No wonder Wu Shaogang has an extraordinary temperament, even surpassing Kublai Khan.

Hao Jing, who had the feeling of Daigo's empowerment, looked at the door and thought thoughtfully.

The autumn harvest season has arrived.

This is the season that Wu Shaogang is looking forward to, and the devastated Tongchuan Mansion Road is also looking forward to the autumn harvest season.

When Wu Shaogang had not yet returned to Luzhou from the capital, he arranged for Lu Xiufu to go to Tongchuan Prefecture and County to inspect and supervise the autumn harvest.

According to the requirements of the public land law promulgated by the imperial court, the harvested grain, leaving enough for the peasants to live, the rest must be handed over to the government, but Wu Shaogang will not do this, he asked the government at all levels to take out a certain amount of money to buy grain, and the common people should also store enough grain in their homes, who knows if there will be a bumper harvest in the coming year, and in order to ensure the grain storage of Tongchuan Fu Road, the government also issued a special notice, prohibiting all localities from buying and selling grain privately, and not allowing foreign traders to come to buy grain.

These provisions are broadly in line with the Public Land Law and will not be subject to much criticism.

But the practical difficulties also exist, Tongchuan Fu Road is close to Chengdu Fu Road, in the past, Chengdu Fu Road had the habit of purchasing Tongchuan Fu Road grain, although it is said that the purchase is a businessman, but a large part of the businessman is entrusted by the government, to buy grain.

Liu Heima, the military and horse envoy of Chengdu Fulu, attaches great importance to grain procurement and storage.

The price of grain purchased by merchants from Chengdu is higher than that of merchants from the mainland, which makes many people willing to sell grain, and no matter who buys grain, as long as they can get more money.

When Yuan Shichun entered the wing, Wu Shaogang was carefully looking at the documents reported by the officials at all levels.

A bumper harvest is already a sure thing, whether it is rice or millet, there is no problem, and Tongchuan Fulu was exempted from taxes by the imperial court for three years, and the harvested grain is owned by the people, and there is no panic in the heart of the grain in hand.

Another situation reported by the government at all levels made Wu Shaogang feel happy, that is, the people of Tongchuan Fu Road, in response to the call of the government, resolutely did not sell grain to merchants from Chengdu Fu Road, no matter what kind of price these merchants offered.

After all, the tragic experience of a year ago, the common people still remember it in their hearts, and after Liu Quan and the Mongolian Tatars were completely defeated, the people in all parts of Tongchuan Mansion Road really felt the care of the government, and the simple people knew how to be grateful.

Wu Shaogang had originally planned to take some coercive measures, but the government at all levels was also taking action to block the passes in various places and not allow grain to be delivered.

When Yuan Shichun handed over the paperwork, Wu Shaogang still had a smile on his face.

"Report to your lordship, Luo Sulin sent information from Chengdu Fu Road, and there are traces of soldiers and horses gathering outside Chengdu Fu. . . ."

The smile on Wu Shaogang's face quickly disappeared, and he opened the paperwork and looked at it carefully.

Luo Sulin entered Chengdu Fucheng in the name of a businessman, and opened a restaurant in the prosperous area of Chengdu Fucheng, which cost a lot of money, because the quality of the food in the restaurant is very good, and the business is very good.

In this process, Luo Sulin used all means to collect all kinds of information and send it to Luzhou Prefecture in a steady stream.

This time, Luo Sulin sent a very critical piece of information, that is, there was a change in the military camp outside Chengdu Mansion, and a large number of sergeants were assembled, as if they were preparing to take some action.

What Luo Sulin can obtain at present is the information of Chengdu Fucheng, as for the situation in other parts of Chengdu Fulu, it is impossible to get it, but most of the soldiers and horses under the command of Liu Heima are concentrated in Chengdu Fucheng, and the rest of the troops are very small, mainly guarding the city and passes.

After reading the information sent by Luo Sulin, Wu Shaogang picked up another piece of paper from the table.

This document was sent by Tong Weihua from the direction of Yanjing.

The two pieces of information came together, and Wu Shaogang's heart faintly made a judgment.

"Yuan Shichun, what do you think, is Luo Sulin's inference accurate?"

"The subordinates think it is accurate, last year Liu Heima suffered a heavy blow, not only lost soldiers and horses, but also took out a lot of money to redeem his son Liu Yuanzhen, plus the Mongolian Khan has a lot of criticism of Liu Heima, which makes Liu Heima restless, if he can't prove himself, Liu Heima is afraid that he won't stay in Chengdu for long."

"Well, the information transmitted by Tong Weihua from the direction of Yanjing shows that Kublai Khan has some views on Liu Heima, since the ordinary officials in Yanjing are discussing the affairs of Chengdu Fulu, it shows that this matter has a great influence on the Mongolian high-level, and the reason why Kublai Khan let Liu Heima continue to stay in Chengdu Fulu is probably because he did not have any hope for Liu Cheng at the beginning, and even suspected that Liu Quan's so-called defection was a trap."

"That's what my subordinates see too."

"Not only that, according to my judgment, Liu Heima's life is very difficult, the Mongolian high-level did not believe that Liu Heima's defection was true, only Liu Heima firmly believed, the development of the facts exceeded Liu Heima's expectations, and also gave the Mongolian high-level the opportunity to adjust his position, anyway, Liu Heima is a Han Chinese, it is impossible to get the real trust of Kublai Khan and the Mongolian high-level, Kublai Khan is afraid that he has begun to consider the matter of replacing the Chengdu Prefecture Road Envoy, in this case, Liu Heima's only way to deal with it, It is to gain the trust of Kublai Khan again. ”

Yuan Shichun nodded vigorously, basically understanding Wu Shaogang's words.

"I think Liu Heima will definitely go deep into the territory of my Tongchuan Fu Road this time, not to mention attacking the city, at least he can snatch money and food, if Liu Heima's battle is victorious, it can also temporarily dispel Kublai Khan's inner doubts, and it is also a remedy for last year's misjudgment."

"Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui and Ma Long, they need to be ready to beat the Mongolian Tartars who have the courage to enter Tongchuan Fu Road."

Looking at Yuan Shichun, who was about to leave, Wu Shaogang spoke again.

"Luo Sulin and Tong Weihua are doing very well, I didn't expect them to be able to get such critical information, but the Intelligence Agency still has to remind them to be careful, and sometimes if they are in danger of being exposed, then suspend the transmission of information."

After Yuan Shichun left, Wu Shaogang quickly spread out the map and began to look carefully.

Tongchuan Fu Road and Chengdu Fu Road are adjacent to each other, and the place where it meets is very wide, Liu Heima wants to pull back a game, so as to show his face in front of Kublai Khan and consolidate his position in Chengdu Fu Road, he also has to choose the right target, presumably Liu Heima is impossible to enter these places in Luzhou Fucheng.

It is crucial to grasp the route and specific places of Liu Heima's operation.

It is impossible for Luo Sulin to obtain such information, and Wu Shaogang needs to make an accurate judgment based on the actual situation. (To be continued.) )
