Chapter 186: Raid and Harvest
ps: Rolling all over the ground begging for subscriptions, begging for monthly passes!
Ding Gong's eerie laughter made the three apprentices creepy, and they were suddenly very afraid of the old man in front of them, a madman who was committed to overthrowing the Han Empire, and used his crazy life to interpret the value of his life. ~~~~
For this reason, he did not hesitate to beat the princes and kings at a cost, and repeatedly committed rebellion, from destroying the princes and kings of the Zhulu era, Ding Gong personally went north to persuade the king of Chengyang, encouraging him to give birth to a huge ambition to be the emperor, and then to the coronation of the acting king Liu Heng as the emperor, Ding Gong persuaded the king of Huainan Li to covet the position of the auxiliary government of the Duke of Zhou, and single-handedly concocted the king of Huainan Li jumping up and down until he died stupidly.
The most recent move was the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu more than ten years ago, Liu Bi, the king of Wu who was originally hesitant, accepted the support of the group of people behind Ding Gonghe, and decided to wave his army north to march to Chang'an to become the emperor, but unfortunately his strategy suffered repeated setbacks, and finally gave up the hope of destroying the Han Empire in his old age, and lived in seclusion in the dome of Guangling County without asking about the world.
Originally, they would have followed this step by step until Duke Ding died, but the three of them clearly remembered that they received news from Chang'an a year ago that the crown prince was in charge of the country and suppressed hundreds of officials, and Cao Shi was reused to repair the new Chang'an.
At that moment, the eerie old man who had been entangled in intrigue and assassination all his life came alive again, and the fire of revenge in his chest was fiercer than ever.
"Liu An, the king of Huainan, the old man wants you to know that only by throwing himself into the arms of the old man can you survive, and the fate of betraying the old man will only be torn to pieces by the emperor of the Han family."
Ding Gong laughed and said: "I want to turn this Han family into powder, and I want to turn that Changle Weiyang into ruins." I want to let Da Chu regain the light, this world belongs to us Chu people after all! ”
"But what about Ji Gong?"
"Brother?" Ding Gong's heart trembled slightly, his brother who couldn't see the tail of the dragon. Suddenly and mysteriously disappeared a few months ago.
No one knows where he has gone or when he will suddenly appear, the eighty-year-old man travels hundreds of miles a day like a young man, it is simply a living human miracle, not to mention that his swordsmanship is terrifying, Ding Gong never dared to underestimate his cousin's ability, because the people who underestimated him were already dead.
"Leave him alone. Disturbing Chang'an step by step, I want to make them mess up and then implement my great plan. Ding Gong pinched the string of red sandalwood beads and was silent.
Dozens of steps away is the room where Liu Ling was placed under house arrest, and her two little loli maids betrayed themselves gloriously. That's why she was caught off guard and imprisoned here.
The two Lori maids still remained respectful: "Lord Weng, it's still early in the long night, you can rest early!" ”
"Good! You two still have the face to come to see me, and what are your intentions in deceiving me to come here and imprison me! Liu Ling sneered:
The Lori sisters looked at each other and said, "We can't hide it. Please forgive us sisters. We also want to serve you well. ”
"Serve me? I don't dare let you serve, let me out! Get out of here! ”
"Rest early!" The Lori sisters were disappointed and withdrew unhappily.
Liu Ling smacked at the door, calmed down and slowly thought of a way out: "Ding Gong is an old madman, I can't be sent to death with the old madman, I must try my best to find a way to get out." ”
Pingyang Hou was assassinated.
As soon as the morning dawned, the news began to spread wildly in Jingshili.
In the freshly baked story, the whole process of the assassination is told with a nose and eyes. The soldiers of the Hou Mansion died to protect the Marquis of Pingyang, and the thieves disappeared from thousands of miles away. It's almost a legend.
The Son of Heaven was furious on the spot when he learned of the assassination, Cao Shi was the only general in his hands, and when the envoys of the hundred officials and ministers were not very easy, only Cao Shi could stabilize the situation and protect the implementation of the new policy.
The minister of the humerus was suddenly threatened with assassination, how could Liu Che endure it.
"Get me the Assassin! At any cost, you have to catch it, and you have to see people and corpses when you die! Accompanied by Liu Che's roar, an edict was issued to all counties in Guanzhong, and there were wanted warrants for the fugitives everywhere.
The counties of the Kanto region also received orders to arrest wanted assassins, and the county governors in various places led the county soldiers to search for them like wolves, and they really caught many criminals who had been hiding for many years.
But the trace of the assassin still did not appear, the eight assassins seemed to have magical powers, mysteriously disappeared from the land of Guanzhong, until half a month later, Guan Duwei did not appear any suspicious traces, there was no strange place in the Lu, the emperor was stunned, Cao Shi was also stunned.
"Could it be the legendary supernatural powers? No way! It's impossible! ”
Cao Shi shook his head in denial, but he is also a person who has been influenced by materialism, and he never believes that there are magical spells that can take people's heads for thousands of miles.
When he was puzzled, a familiar and unfamiliar word suddenly flashed in his mind: "Could it be the remnants of Xichu?" ”
Coming to the conclusion that it was ridiculous and bizarre, Cao Shi shook his head and decided to give up the idea of recourse, no matter whether there was a group of old immortals making trouble behind his back, he didn't have the time to deal with them one by one.
Sea fishing documents are all over the world, and Ting Wei Tian Wei has been working blindly for half a month without catching an assassin, and many criminal escapees have been escorted from all over the world.
In the summer of May, the project of Maoling is still far away, and many deep pits have been dug at the construction site of Taixue.
200,000 people took turns to serve in the conscription, digging millions of square meters of earth every day, and now the residents of Chang'an have long been accustomed to the huge project.
Wei Youqu, the crown prince of Wei's Joseon dynasty, jumped out of the carriage and walked to the deep pit on the dusty gravel road to take a look.
"Hi Hi! What do you do? Tell me the number of names in the report, where you came from and where you are going! What did you say? Are you the crown prince of the domain? The crown prince can't wander around the construction site, hurry up and leave quickly, if you don't leave, I will detain you!" ”
The soldiers of Fanshang County arrogantly pushed away the right canal of Wei, and fundamentally ignored the temporary waist card issued by the Daxing Order, and the Daxing Order was not related to the garrison of the Southern Army, and the Southern Army did not need to take care of the face of the Daxing Order at all.
Zhao Yingqi, the crown prince of Nanyue, grabbed his arm: "Brother, don't be impulsive, remember that this is not your royal capital." Rather, it is in the core area of the Han capital. ”
"Thanks for the reminder, be sure to pay attention next time." Wei Youqu pressed the anger in his heart, calmed down and was very grateful to Zhao Yingqi. Not far from them, dozens of soldiers of the Southern Army armed with longbows and spears were eyeing each other, and they beckoned at the slightest big movement of arrows, so no one dared to make trouble near the construction site.
Dongou Wang, the crown prince of Dongou Wang, squatting on the side of the pit to see the people at the bottom of the pit digging the soil, the architectural style of the Han people said that it sounds good is rough and atmospheric, and what is not good is simple and rude.
At every turn, a monster with a thickness of more than ten meters can drive two carriages side by side on the city wall. The whole Chang'an City looks like a boxy brick-like shape, which can create a 6.9 square kilometer Changle Palace Group at any cost, and the Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are superimposed to catch up with the unfinished Afang Palace. It can be seen that the emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties had similar crude ideas.
Big is good, high is beautiful, black and red is colorful, wide and empty is mighty and majestic.
The palaces of the Han people often have ornate domes several feet high. At the same time, it also shows a rugged style. The simple outline of the totem four divine beasts, especially the dragon totem with black lines on a red background, after watching for a long time, let them gradually get used to the majestic decorative style.
"Have you heard, Tai Academy is going to make the first school of the Han family."
"What is the first university? The Han family is not just this. ”
"It used to be, but it won't be in the future, maybe the more you learn, the more you build."
Wei Youqu listened attentively, and tried to pretend that nothing had happened, and he tried to listen to the Han family's every move in the hope of getting effective information. But unlike when he first came to Chang'an City, his mentality quietly changed.
The richness of the Han family shocked him. made Ah ah's originally resolute anti-Han will begin to waver, he was not a hardcore pro-Hun person, he just hid in the shadow of his father Wei Meng to do a small secret, without professional training purely supported by personal ideals.
The other three princes had complicated expressions, they really wanted to explore the strength of the Han family, and every time they saw it, it was always as if they couldn't see the slightest real feeling in the cloud mountain fog cover.
It coincides with the first crop of corn in May to catch up with the summer harvest, the farmers in Guanzhong are busy harvesting crops, spring corn needs 14o days to mature, and summer corn only needs 11o days to mature.
As far as the eye can see, millions of people are busy harvesting summer-grade grain.
The Son of Heaven Luan drove to the outside of Chang'an City, hundreds of officials accompanied thousands of carriages and horses to guard like a forest, and the emperor himself said that he wanted to see this year's grain market.
Chang'an City in the summer is like a steamer, the weather is very hot, the ministers in official robes are sweating one by one, and they dare not fan the wind with their hands due to etiquette regulations, only two attendants next to the Son of Heaven hold small fans to drive away the heat.
Even this was useless, the Son of Heaven had just walked down from the court, and he was wearing a heavy black crown robe, which was difficult to be penetrated by the slightest cool breeze.
The three princes and nine kings stretched their necks, waiting for the specific situation of the harvest of the first stubble of corn, and thousands of soldiers of the Southern Army surrounded the whole Qianmo.
At the back of the team where the small and medium-sized bureaucrats were, they quietly wiped the sweat from their heads and said, "How many catties of grain do you say you can collect?" I think it's four kills with one stone. ”
"You're overestimating, four stones is about the same."
"If you want me to say at least one more stone, four stones and one bucket."
Bureaucrats, you say a word and I guess wildly, one stone of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to 6o city catties, four stones are 24o city catties, and one mu of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to o.6915 city acres, according to the standard of the city mu is 345 catties per mu, which is definitely the best yield of fertile land in the early Han Dynasty.
"Let's see if the numbers on the scales are fake, five stones and two buckets! One acre of land produces five stones and two buckets of grain! "The high-pitched voice was like a rooster crowing.
"I'm here with five stones, two buckets, and five liters!"
"I'm here with five stones and three buckets!"
"Five Stones and Four Buckets!"
The loud annunciations in front of the weighing stone that calculated the grain output came and went, and the officials and ministers widened their eyes for fear that they would be dazzled, and their expressions seemed to be ghostly.
The best paddy field near Chang'an City has a record of eight stones and five buckets per mu, but it is only a very small number of corn that can be called gods.
Dou Ying's solemn face looked around, the field in front of him was clearly a dry field, all relying on the bamboo tube waterway above his head to provide water sources, to say that a dry field turned into watered land for only two years, can grow the yield of the mu of fertile land by the river, I am afraid that few people present will believe it.
The three elders were holding the ears of corn and said excitedly: "Your Majesty! This is the new corn produced this year, and you can see that each ear is full of grains. ”
Liu Che held it and praised it for a while, but in fact, he didn't understand agricultural politics at all, and the study courses of military, economics, and law were very close, and the government affairs in the court were also pushed out as much as possible.
The preliminary statistics were classified, and all husked corn was deducted according to the highest requirements of the hulling standard, which was converted into five stones, two buckets and seven liters of grain per mu.
This figure is the average of 23 hectares of fertile land in Pingyang's Hou Mansion, and this alone has increased grain by 2o million stones, accounting for more than a quarter of the total grain production.
If a quarter of the country's grain increase were to be added to the country's total grain production, what a terrible figure would the grain output rise.
The bureaucrats are boiling.
They saw a broad road, and the hundred officials who had deliberately raised their minds in the past moved, and placed in the Han family, which was short of materials, and the sudden increase in grain was sensational news.
Liu Checai didn't care about the change in the looks on the faces of the bureaucrats, and beckoned people to ask: "You say this is the role of fertilizer to provide nutrients for land?" ”
"That's right! The old man dares to make a head guarantee, and there is no word of deception! Thanks to the careful guidance of my prince, we have today's great harvest. Gongxi said excitedly.
The big farmer Ling Dou Ying glanced at it and sighed secretly, the territory that should have belonged to his jurisdiction was facing the invasion of the Shaofu, but all of them were born under the Pingyang Hou Mansion's own grange, and even the big farmer order couldn't control them.
Prime Minister Xu Chang's expression was complicated, he couldn't limit Cao Shi's influence after all, and he was finally put up with a few times when he wanted to speak.
The eyes of the three princes and nine qing were almost the same when they looked at Cao, envy, jealousy and a slight sense of alienation, and they had long mastered the direction of activities that affected the Son of Heaven, and when the Son of Heaven was about to inspect the farmland, he hung the location on the 23oo hectares of fertile fields in the Pingyang Hou Mansion.
Cao Shi was not afraid, but showed a calm smile to everyone, such a smile is a desecration of the sanctity of war correspondents.
"Once the soldiers have no food, they panic, once they lose the support of the army, the art of war has the cloud and the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and the soldiers are fighting for the logistics supply capacity, and the grain and grass are the invisible lifeline."
In this regard, Liu Che deeply agreed.
In the small grange of the Marquis of Kaipingyang, he was able to taste a dish of wild vegetables and roasted wild boar, and the emperor was full of wine and food and set off, and the unlucky petty officials were still studying what clothes they should wear.
"Ma Zheng, I'm going to see my stables."
"Your Majesty is thinking about the life and death of those polo teams! It just so happens that there is such a game in the afternoon, let's go check it out! Cao Shi smiled and rode his horse to follow, and the three princes and nine Qing slowly wanted to follow, but what they didn't want to stop was a group of ministers.
Bai Zhihou Xuchang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has finished things and gone to play, all the ministers are scattered!" (To be continued!)
