Chapter 276: The Ancestral Kid Who Can't Be Underestimated
"Hahaha! 30 million stones, and it's all polished rice! ”
"Hahahaha!"
Ma Changchang sat behind the desk in the public office, flipped through the books handed by him from various places, and was so smiling that he couldn't see his eyes!
Such a huge amount of grain is enough for tens of millions of people in Zhou to eat for three years!
It is to take down the entire Qi country again! It is also enough for all the people of Zhou and Gaqi to eat for a whole year in the next year.
And not counting the people in order to earn an extra crop of money, at this moment before the autumn passes, grab another crop of corn, even if Sinong Temple wants to collect it in the next year, the people don't plan to sell it-
Because there are at least fifty percent of the people in the Zhou Kingdom, they also raise poultry in addition to farming.
Just look at the many people on the street who carry small baskets and come out to sell eggs.
Eggs are no longer rare, and the eggs that were previously sold for 30 yuan a piece have gradually reduced in price due to competition.
On the streets of Fang Street in Chang'an, there are still hard-boiled eggs in salted water, and those that are cooked are only sold for 20 yuan a piece.
Ma Changchang is happy, and the plans for the coming year should be put on the agenda, but-
All along, he has been following Yuwen Shihong's orders, and he will do whatever Yuwen Shihong tells him to do.
Occasionally, there are opinions, and they are also refuting Yuwen Shihong.
For example, when he went on an expedition, he refuted the fact that there was probably not enough food and grass.
During the great victory of the city, he fiercely protested against Yuwen Shihong's three orders for domestic agriculture, namely the relief order, the animal husbandry encouragement order, and the desertification encouragement order, which were also applied to those cities that won the great victory.
Because there are many people in Qi State, any county in Qi State has more population than a state in Zhou State.
The population of one state is even larger than that of Chang'an.
But this is all in the past, and the current Chang'an has unconsciously swelled from only 500,000 people two years ago to more than one million people.
And there are tens of thousands of "tourists" from places and even exotic places every day.
It is estimated that the skyrocketing population is the main reason why Weiwei Temple is expanding Xinfang Street again.
The matter of the national feast on the Xia Yuan Festival was spread by the proclamation in one hundred and nine squares, and the entire Chang'an was boiling!
There are still ten days before the Xia Yuan Festival, and Ma Changchang has to ponder the plan of Sinong Temple in the coming year, and he has to preside over the coordination of the feast, such as how much millet to use, how to cook and so on.
I'm really busy.
Tang Yong's wife, Duan, and his only son Tang Jian, were bold enough to come to Chang'an with him.
His other thirty or so relatives did not dare to come together, for fear that they would be treated like when they were in Qi State.
He was first caught in a water prison, and then almost drowned in the Yellow River.
They knew in their hearts that they were "lucky" to meet the monarchs of Qi and Zhou at the same time that day, and they were "lucky" to be able to save their lives, but in fact, it was all thanks to that time, and the emperor of Zhou personally came out to accept the negotiations.
They knew better that the emperor of the Zhou State had to stop the pace of the conquest on the south bank of the Yellow River because he had saved their lives.
As a result, there is a lot of psychological pressure on them.
If it weren't for them, the pace of Zhou's northern expedition would not have stopped.
Tang Yong has also explained to them many times, it is true that it is true to save their lives, but the more critical reason is that Zhou Guo has no ship.
Even if they died in the Yellow River at that time, it would be difficult for the Zhou State to transport hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops to the other side of the Yellow River in a short period of time.
That's the most important thing.
Comfort can only be said to be superficial and effective, and psychological pressure has not been eliminated from their hearts.
After being rescued and settling in Luoyang this time, they also saw the earth-shaking changes in Luoyang and the generous treatment Tang Yong received.
Tang Yong relied on his merits to get a large box of gold treasures at home, and one box was one million dollars.
It's not that they haven't seen so much money, but when they saw so much money in previous years, it was usually the valuable utensils that Tang Yong seized from the battlefield, in other words, they were obtained by robbing houses in a foreign country.
And the huge treasure he saw this time was given to him by Yuwen Shihong for his merits.
The difference here is too big.
When he arrived at the east gate of Chang'an City, Tang Yong deliberately stopped the carriage and let Tang Jian and his wife Duan enter the city on foot.
The two of them trembled, afraid that as soon as they showed their tooth cards, they would be caught by the city gate marquis in military robes.
Experience another horrific water prison.
Thinking that Tang Yong would not harm them, they mustered up the courage and took out their own tooth cards during the routine inspection of the city gate.
"It turned out to be General Tang's family, Mrs. Tang, what about the first time you came back to Chang'an?"
After the Marquis of the City Gate saw Duan's body tooth card, his routine expressionless face immediately showed a bright smile, and at the same time made a solemn military salute to Tang Yong in the distance.
There is a big difference between a general and a general, and the general can only be used by the emperor of the second rank who is directly awarded the commander of the march!
It's equivalent to calling him "Zhijinwu"!
Tang Jian saw that his father was so respected, and he was still a soldier of the Guards in Chang'an, the capital of the country.
The apprehension in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
After entering Chang'an, there are many children playing with bamboo dragonflies in Chang'an's Fang Street, and the person who sells bamboo dragonflies is actually a child.
Tang Yong recognized it at a glance, this kid's appearance is seventy percent similar to Zu Wenyuan, if he guesses correctly, he should be Zu Wenyuan's grandson.
And the bamboo dragonfly, during the Shangyuan Festival last year, he watched Zu Wenyuan play.
Unexpectedly, this thing has become the favorite plaything of children in Chang'an City.
Still worried that there would be danger, Tang Yong leaned in front of the child who had a good business with a dark face, and reprimanded in a stern voice:
"Is it the ancestral boy?"
The child selling bamboo dragonflies looked at Tang Yong and nodded stunned.
"Your grandfather is not in the capital, how can he run around! Come back to the palace with me! ”
Tang Yong said that he was going to pick up this kid and go together.
The child shook off Tang Yong's hand with a face full of resistance:
"You're so familiar, I think I saw it last year, but what's wrong with me running around? You're not my grandfather! ”
"You!" Tang Yong didn't know where his temper came from, maybe he was worried about the danger of him being alone outside:
"Your grandfather asked me to help watch you, you see, I just returned to Chang'an, and I arrested your kid, hurry back to the palace, so as not to ask someone to kidnap you."
"Humph!" The child said with a stubborn face:
"The law of thieves says, all those who plunder and sell people as slaves and maidservants shall be hanged!"
"Who dares to kidnap me?"
Tang Yong was choked up and speechless, but he didn't think that this kid looked at the age of eight or nine years old, and he could still recite the laws of the Great Zhou.
was about to say something to protect his face, but Tang Jian had no intention of listening, and the listener deliberately took the lead in asking the child:
"What you just said, is it the law of the Great Zhou?"
The child raised his head arrogantly, and the arrogance in his eyes:
"What is it if it's not the law of the Great Zhou? I can't make it up, can I? ”
Tang Jian's shrunken eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, he looked at Tang Yong and said hurriedly:
"Father, the nurse has been abducted, and there has been no news for the past two years, can you use this law as a basis to find the nurse?"
