Chapter 414: Borrowing Someone's Head
In the official office of the history of the Qizhou assassin, after Wang Chong and Xiang Tuo's explanation.
Lu Heng finally understood these local affairs in Datang.
But that wasn't what he wanted.
In an agrarian society, inaction may indeed have the effect of allowing the people to recuperate.
It can also restore some vitality to the Tang Dynasty, which had just been established from the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
But Lu Heng knew very well in his heart.
If you really want more people to live a better life.
Then it must be the development of commerce and industry.
Just let the peasants work hard in the fields every day.
Not to mention whether they can feed themselves or not.
Just wait until the world is peaceful for a while.
The population within the country began to skyrocket again.
At the same time, it was accompanied by the resurgence of land annexation.
Then this empire must be about to enter the strange circle that has been repeated in Chinese history.
Later generations ended Chinese history and were always curious about these dynasties that changed once every 300 years.
But in fact, the kernel is nothing more than that.
And if he wanted to solve it, Lu Heng felt that there was no other way than to push forward industrialization in advance.
Therefore, even if sitting opposite him are two Datang magistrates who have been in charge of eating white rice.
Lu Heng also asked very bluntly:
"Forget the past."
"But now that assassin of yours has been thrown into prison by me."
"Who can do things now?"
Wang Chong and Xiang Tuo glanced at each other, although they both saw some excitement in each other's eyes.
But he still stood up and said to Lu Heng:
"Lu Yuma's move is inappropriate, the so-called incorrect name is not good......"
Before the two of them could finish their words, Lu Heng directly interrupted them.
"What bullshit is not right?"
"In my opinion, people like you eat the grain grown by the common people every day."
"Officials who don't do all day long are called unjustifiable."
"Just one sentence now, can you do two things?"
"If you can't, don't stick here, I'll find someone else!"
Lu Heng's words have been said here, where do Wang Chong and Xiang Tuo dare to postpone.
After all, Lu Heng's reckless temperament can also be seen by the two of them.
If you postpone it any longer, you will be embarrassed.
After the two glanced at each other, under the leadership of Wang Chong, Qi Qi saluted Lu Heng.
"Xiaguan Wang Chong is willing to serve the dogs and horses for the land and horses."
"It was originally Xiang Tuo's willingness to serve the dogs and horses for the land horses."
Hearing the words of the two, Lu Heng's face slowed down a little.
While letting the two sit down again, he said to the two:
"That's right, the so-called food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king."
"You two are also eating the Tang Dynasty's Yulu."
"How can you do it every day?"
After finishing speaking, Lu Heng asked the two of them again:
"Do you two know the details about the iron mine outside Qizhou City?"
Now that he has decided to follow Lu Heng.
Then Wang Chong and Xiang Tuo have nothing to hide.
Although the two of them don't have any specific business to do on weekdays.
But after all, they are also the two biggest officials in Qizhou except for Li Qianyou.
I have also heard of the affairs in Qizhou.
So in the two of you, you and I will talk about it word by word.
Lu Heng basically figured out the ins and outs.
It turned out that the edict issued by the imperial court, Li Qianyou's old boy had indeed received it.
But because he himself was born in the Li family in Taiyuan.
So I didn't want to help Lu Heng at all.
also planned to disgust Lu Heng on this opportunity.
So, after the imperial edict was sent to Qizhou.
Li Qianyou immediately followed the instructions in the edict.
All the original prisoners on the iron mine were removed as soon as possible.
But after that, the recruitment required in the edict, he just threw himself away.
Just threw the iron ore somewhere, planning to give Lu Heng a dismount.
And, according to Wang Chong, after the original prisoners on the iron mine were removed.
Li Qianyou did not put them back in prison.
Rather, in the name of cultivating wasteland.
Pull them all out to grow a few new grains sent by the imperial court.
When Lu Heng heard him say this, he couldn't help but interrupt him with a frown, and asked:
"Wait, you said that the imperial court sent down three new grains, but do you mean potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn?"
Wang Chong nodded, "It's indeed these three things. ”
"I learned from the letters sent by friends in Chang'an City that these three things were all presented to Your Majesty by Lu Horse."
"Lu Yuma's move can really be said to be a blessing to all the people in the world!"
Listening to the sycophants in Wang Chong's mouth, Lu Heng asked in a cold voice:
"Since I want you to say that I am a blessing to all the people of the world."
"Aren't these three kinds of grain supposed to be distributed to the people to grow?"
"And besides, if I'm not mistaken."
"The seeds of these three grains have already been distributed after the first month, right?"
"Why did he Li Qianyou start planting at this time?"
Seeing that Lu Heng seemed to be suppressing the anger in his heart at this time.
Wang Chong and Xiang Tuo glanced at each other, and didn't dare to say anything else.
I could only cautiously reply:
"The seeds did arrive in Qizhou around February."
"It's just that it's always piled up in the storeroom."
"The reason why he is only planting now, Xiaguan heard that it is because the potatoes in Xianyang have already been harvested for one season."
"The output is indeed very high, Li Qianyou remembered it again......"
After listening to Wang Chong's words, Lu Heng was almost angry with high blood pressure.
When he was passing through Xianyang, he also heard about the local potato harvest.
For this reason, he even met with the Xianyang County Commander and carefully taught him how to carry out secondary sowing.
So that they can harvest more next time they plant.
But what Lu Heng didn't expect was that although Qizhou also received the seeds sent by the imperial court.
But instead of giving him to the people, they kept rotting them in the treasury.
It wasn't until I heard the news of the harvest in Xianyang that I thought about getting it out and planting it.
This is simply trampling on his hard work!
You must know that because Lu Heng made the first batch of seeds, there were not many.
So in addition to Gyeonggi Province, where Chang'an is located, several counties around it have issued some.
The rest was arranged by the imperial court to be distributed in a few states and counties.
The main thing is to test how the yields of these three crops will differ in different states and counties.
What I didn't expect was that Li Qianyou, who was in Qizhou, would actually do this kind of thing!
At this time, Lu Heng's anger could no longer be suppressed.
got up directly from the chair and said loudly to Wang Xuance beside him:
"Go! Drag that bullshit out of jail for me! ”
"I'm going to use his head today to set an example for others in the world!"
