When Zhang Ou and his entourage came to the city, they realized that the king was not in the palace.

After inquiry, I learned that the autumn harvest was busy, and the king had already gone to the field to supervise the autumn harvest.

Not only the king, but almost everyone in the palace went to Shimoda to be busy.

Hearing this, Zhang Ou, Zhang Tang and others were shocked.

They have lived in Chang'an for a long time, so they naturally know what virtues the princes are.

Not to mention persuading farmers to teach mulberry, some people have never even seen what the fields look like.

Even the crown prince Liu Rong is flying eagles all day long, enveloping party henchmen.

Zhang Ou and Zhang Tang glanced at each other, and immediately turned around, "Let's go, go and have a look!" ”

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

How the prince wins, you have to see it with your own eyes.

All the way out of the city to the palace to seal the field, the eyes are full of the joy of the harvest.

The heavy ears of wheat, rice and corn are densely connected into patches, and as far as the eye can see, they are all brilliant gold that represents a full meal.

There were many people working in the fields, but I never saw anyone dressed in fine clothes.

The palace attendants who led the way hurriedly stepped forward and ran into the field, and ran to the side of a barefoot figure dressed in sackcloth with trouser legs.

muttered a few words, and pointed in the direction of Zhang Ou and the others.

"This is the King of Zhongshan?"

Looking at Li Yunze, who was striding towards him, Zhang Tang was shocked.

He never thought that the high-ranking prince and king would really be able to work in the field.

Zhang Ou, who had a calm face, asked in a low voice, "I waited for the matter of coming to Zhongshan Kingdom, has the news been revealed?" ”

Zhang Tang was stunned, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head, "Ming Gong set off on a temporary basis, and he drove lightly all the way, and I didn't leak my whereabouts on the road." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ou's face stretched, and he sighed with emotion, "The first emperor and the Son of Heaven both advocate simplicity and devote themselves to accumulating national strength for the country." I thought that the princes would no longer do this good thing, but I never thought about it."

The following words do not need to be spoken, but the meaning is already clear.

The two emperors of Wenjingzhizhi are really rare in the past dynasties.

Emperor Jing is not so exaggerated, and there is still some use in life.

But Emperor Wen Liu Huan was there, he was really counting his life for a penny, conscientiously accumulating money and food for the Han Dynasty, looking forward to one day being able to take revenge on the Xiongnu.

It's a pity that this hard and simple style in history was cut off when it came to Little Pig.

Emperor Wu spent money, it was really the same as running water.

He often rewarded hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention spending money for wars, he also built palaces on a large scale, and even asked for immortality.

It's really hard to put into words.

Li Yunze, who was barefoot, strode over with an iron sickle in his hand, "Which one is Zhang Gong?" ”

Although Zhang Ou and Zhang Tang are both surnamed Zhang, everyone knows who Li Yunze is calling.

Zhang Tang took a step back quietly, and Zhang Ou stepped forward with a smile and saluted, "Minister, Zhang Ou." Meet the King~~~"

"Gong Zhang doesn't need to be polite."

Li Yunze, who was also smiling, stepped forward to help him up, "I don't know if Zhang Gongyuan is here, this place is really inappropriate." ”

"The king's words are wrong."

Zhang Ou Zhengse said, "Crops are everywhere, and grains are abundant. This is the most beautiful place in the world, and there is no more suitable place. ”

"Hahahaha~~~"

Li Yunze laughed and shook his head, "What Zhang Gong said is." And when so-and-so finishes collecting this land, he will go back to set up a banquet and entertain him. ”

Zhang Ou hurriedly said, "The autumn harvest is a big matter, the king doesn't need to worry about me." I wonder if I can go down to the field to help? ”

"It's good to be willing to help."

Li Yunze took the water scoop handed over by the waiter, and drank it dry, "If you want to come, then come." ”

With that, he turned around and returned to Tanaka to continue his skillful wielding of the scythe.

Zhang Ou and the others also packed up their robes and clothes, took the tools from the attendants and went to work in the fields.

"Ming Gong."

Zhang Tang, who bent down to harvest, was surprised, "Have you ever seen that the people here all use iron sickles." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Ou nodded in response, "It's not just the fields that are sealed, almost all the fields are made of iron." Unexpectedly, Zhongshan Kingdom was so rich. ”

"Let's wait for my subordinates to find out."

After a lot of effort, Zhang Tang ran back and said to Zhang Ou, "Ming Gong, I have already found out." The king concentrated the blacksmith of the mountain country as a supervisor, and built iron farming tools day and night. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Tang Mian showed admiration, "And I don't need money, I lend it directly to the people in the country." ”

Zhang Ou, who was thoughtful, glanced at Li Yunze's back not far away, and nodded.

After a while, Zhang Ou asked again, "Do you know how much mu is produced here?" ”

Zhang Tang immediately straightened his body, squinted his eyes slightly, and used some military skills.

"Ming Gong, although I don't know the specifics, it can be above Erhu!"

In terms of productivity and scientific and technological level in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the yield per mu was around a hundred.

The upper field can have a few more buckets, and the lower field even has only seven or eight buckets.

The yield per mu is two, this is really.

"This king, it's really a strange person~~~"

When the harvest was over, they returned to the palace of the city.

Li Yunze arranged a dinner to entertain Zhang Ou and others.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with beef and mutton.

And it was sprinkled with spices and unknown condiments, and Zhang Tang and others who ate it were sweating profusely and drinking water again and again.

"It's called Chili."

Li Yunze smiled and made up a story: "It is the income seized by this king from the Nasanda Department." I heard that it was obtained by robbing a caravan from the Western Regions, but no one knows where it came from. ”

Zhang Ou and the others nodded again and again, anyway, they didn't know anything, they just had to eat.

The supply of meat is plentiful, and there is no shortage of alcohol.

The only regret is that there is no singing and dancing.

Not to mention singing and dancing, after Zhang Ou entered the palace, he didn't even see a few palace maids who served.

Zhang Tang inquired and learned that the king had never indulged in beauty since he entered the feudal country, and he was busy improving his national strength all day long, so that the life of the people and the leaders of the people would be better.

There has never been a single beauty in the palace, and the only palace maids are all brought from Chang'an City.

This kind of behavior made Zhang Ou's evaluation of him keep up with it.

When they were full of wine and food, they rested to their own hearts.

Li Yunze didn't ask Zhang Ou what he was doing here, he had just come on the first day, and it was the right thing to rest first.

Back in the arranged room, Zhang Ou, who lit the expensive candles, spread out the bamboo slips and prepared to write the music.

Zhang Tang's call came from outside the door, and after answering the call to let him in, he saw Zhang Tang walking in with a stack of white paper.

"Ming Gong."

Zhang Tang put the white paper on the desk, "The one who was sent in the palace said that it was more convenient than the bamboo slip." ”

"It's a blank slate."

Zhang Ou smiled and reached out to take it, "I saw it when I was in Chang'an City, but it was very expensive." ”

When Zhang Tang said goodbye and left, Zhang Ou studied ink and put pen to paper.

"The minister Zhang Ou played the son of heaven Zhongshan and the country of agriculture and mulberry are prosperous, the industry and commerce are developed, the prince is diligent and thrifty, caring for the people and prospering crops, and the drum craftsman is made. I don't like extravagance, I don't indulge in alcohol."

Although it was only the first day of coming, what he saw and heard touched Zhang Ou very much.

It is really condescending for such an outstanding prince to be enshrined in Zhongshan Kingdom.

The ministers of this era still have a bottom line, unlike those younger generations who only talk about interests but have no bottom line.

Most of them are people who sincerely think about the righteousness of their family and country, and they are completely from two worlds with Donglin and the like.

Such a person gradually disappeared after going south several times in the late Han and Tang dynasties.

After that, most of them were Qin Hui, Qian Qianyi and the like.

Because those who have backbone are all killed in battle, and those who survive are mainly villains, which is sad and lamentable.

The next day, Li Yunze did not go to work in the fields again, but put on the king's robe and received Zhang Ou and others in the main hall of the palace.

Now it's time to get down to business.

"What is the matter with Gong Zhang?"

Zhang Ou didn't mean to hide it, and immediately responded, "The minister is here, and it is clear that the king is choosing a queen." In fact, it was to investigate the king's private fiefdom and the Huns. ”

He was so calm, and Li Yunze didn't mean to hide it.

The local response replied, "The matter of going out of the jam is indeed a thing." ”

Then he carefully told the relevant experience.

Zhang Tang on the side recorded it in detail.

When Li Yunze said that he led five hundred county soldiers to defeat more than a thousand horsemen, and even launched a night attack to directly break his tribe, Zhang Tang's hand shook unnaturally.

The ink fell on the white paper, staining a black spot.

Zhang Ou also looked at Li Yunze with a surprised expression, and the shock in his heart was incomprehensible.

At this time, the Han army fought with the Huns, and when they defended the city, they were basically invincible, and they did not let the Huns capture a few cities.

But when it comes to field battles.

Let's not talk about the battle of Baideng, let's just say that the county is too guarded by Li Guang, and the field battle has always been less victorious and more defeated.

But that's the case, Li Guang is also known as a famous general by the world.

This is not to say that the Han army cannot fight.

On the contrary, the combat effectiveness of the Han army far exceeded that of the Huns.

The only reason is that the Han army was dominated by foot soldiers, while the Huns were almost all cavalry.

In the vast steppe, the infantry and cavalry fought each other, and there were really not many who could win.

The Huns flew kites directly and kept harassing.

The Han army wants to chase but can't catch up, no matter whether it is advancing or retreating, it will not be harassed, and people will not fight you head-on at all.

The Huns, on the other hand, were able to take turns to rest and recuperate.

When the Han army can't stand it, it will attack again and defeat it in one fell swoop.

This situation will not be fundamentally changed until the Imperial Twin Walls come out, with cavalry against cavalry, and at the same time focus the attack on the Huns' tribal camps, forcing the Huns to fight head-on.

At that time, it was the Han army that chased the Huns and fought.

Li Yunze was able to win a big victory with a broken horse when the number was far less than the opponent's, and even his tribe was wiped out, this ability is definitely quite outstanding.

Even if the scale of this encounter is small.

Zhang Ou eagerly asked about the relevant details, and even Li Yunze had to ask clearly how to arrange the troops.

Li Yunze was not too troublesome, and skillfully described the relevant processes, as skilled as a general who had led the troops for many years.

After listening carefully, Zhang Ou simply closed his eyes.

"Both civil and military!"
