Chapter 115 Worried about the country and the people

The two of them competed in music, and everyone felt that Liu Zhang's music was better.

The listener can put their mood in the music and make their emotions fluctuate with the tune.

It shows that Liu Zhang's musical attainments are higher, and the beautiful music is to cultivate sentiment.

Rather than using a skill, to win or lose.

Zhou Fu and they wanted to defeat the Chu Society Academy, and they took the victory and ranking too seriously.

They wanted to get a lot of attention from Liu Che so they could remember their names.

It will be easier for them to be reused by Liu Che in the future, maybe Liu Zhang doesn't care about these.

Even if he does not enter the court as an official, he has the treatment of knighthood.

As long as he does not make mistakes, he can enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life.

Most of the students may not be able to inherit their father's title or career, and some may come from humble backgrounds.

Liu Zhang just said that he didn't want to go to Taixue, and he might also look down on those students in Taixue.

I don't care about being an official in the court, and I have to admit that the music he plays is really beautiful.

"Sir, next June, I have decided to finish my studies early."

Liu Zhang was also very helpless, and originally wanted to graduate early this year.

Dong Jian repeatedly insisted that he study until June next year.

If you can pass the exam questions he has set, then you can graduate.

This is also Dong Jian's biggest concession, if he insists on letting Liu Zhang study until he is eighteen years old.

Liu Zhang may be even more tired of studying, and even not go to study at the Chu Society Academy.

He was really tired of going to school, and he learned what he should have learned.

"What else do you want to talk to me about?"

The students of Taixue University looked at each other, and they always felt that they were learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with Liu Zhang.

None of them can win, which affects their fighting spirit.

"Young people are just lively and competitive, and they learn to know where they are lacking."

Kong Anguo smiled happily, and he supported young people to learn from each other.

The so-called shame and courage, Kong Anguo felt that Liu Zhang was not arrogant or impatient.

His noble character is really rare, and the students of Taixue should learn from him.

"In fact, there is no need to take these things too seriously, learning these is for your own higher achievements in the future. It's not for the sake of competitiveness, I hope you can keep it in mind. Kong Anguo taught them.

"Disciples, remember the teachings!" The students spoke in unison.

Kong Anguo and Dong Jian nodded with satisfaction, believing that they could do it.

They still have a long way to go, and they will be successful in their studies in the future, and they will serve the imperial court.

"Your Excellency, what are your ideals for the future?"

Kong Anguo wants to know what Liu Zhang's future ideals are? Maybe he can help Liu Zhang.

"My wish is to have enough food and clothing for all the people in the world, and over the years, I have seen many people starving."

What Liu Zhang saw and heard, the people of the Han Dynasty had a very hard time.

The people's greatest wish is also to have enough food and clothing, but most of the grain they grow is two stones.

They also have to pay part of the field tax, and they don't have much grain left in their hands.

I don't know how much grain the people of Honghou Kingdom can harvest in this autumn's harvest.

"In the first month of this year, many people from the Red Marquis Kingdom came to the disaster. From their conversations, it was known that they had been affected by the disaster and had no harvest. ”

They suffered either droughts or floods, or locust plagues, and banditry.

This made the people miserable, and Liu Zhang didn't think how noble he was.

Nor did he see that the poor people continued to suffer, and he did what he could to help them.

At least 20 million people in the Han Dynasty suffered from hunger and cold, and Liu Zhang was unable to help them at present.

"These people are suffering from hunger and cold, and it is not the fault of the imperial court, what do you mean by this?"

Shangguan Ao believed that Liu Zhang's thoughts were dissatisfied with the imperial court.

"I have high-yielding grain seeds in my hands, and I mean give them these seeds. Let them harvest more grain every year, so that they will not be fed and clothed. ”

Liu Zhang crossed over and brought a large number of high-yield crop seeds, and he could continue to keep the seeds for replanting the next year.

"You misunderstood what I meant, I don't have any dissatisfaction with the court."

Shangguan Ao's hostility towards him became more and more serious, not because he didn't give Xu Xuan to him.

"Shangguan Ao, don't misinterpret the meaning of the Marquis. If he said that there are high-yield grain seeds, it is a blessing for the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

Kong Anguo thought that Liu Zhang was worried about the country and the people, and he was not dissatisfied with the imperial court.

"Of course, these seeds cannot be given for free, bought with money or exchanged for grain."

Liu Zhang didn't want to do anything to suffer, so he could help those people.

It can minimize its losses and don't care what others think.

"Dahan has a vast territory, and in a short period of time, it distributes seeds of high-yield grain crops to the people. It's a bit hard for me, so I hope the court will do me a favor. ”

Let the imperial court think of a way, which will not only benefit the imperial court, but also allow Liu Zhang not to suffer too much loss.

It can also allow the people to grow grain with high yields in a year, which can kill three birds with one stone.

"Let the imperial court buy high-yield grain seeds from you, and then sell them to the people."

Kong Anguo thought of this method for Liu Zhang, and it can be implemented from now on.

Within six months, the seeds of high-yield grain crops will be available to those people.

They will be able to carry out spring plowing and sowing next year, hoping that the yield per mu will be several times higher.

It was a great good thing for the Han Dynasty, and the imperial court was now in dire need of money to fight against the Xiongnu.

"I have a rice seed in my hand that can be grown in the north. Seedlings are sown in mid-April and can be planted in mid-May. ”

Liu Zhang calculated the time, and the rice of the Honghou Kingdom was almost the day of rice planting.

If the drought continues in the Red Marquis Kingdom, if it is not effectively alleviated.

He is most worried that food production will be greatly reduced.

"I'm already growing rice in my own fields, and the one that worries me the most is the drought in the Red Marquis Country."

Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't change the natural disaster.

I can only find a way to alleviate it, and floats are placed on the surface of the rivers and lakes in the Honghou Kingdom.

Reducing the evaporation of water also relieves drought in the fields.

As for other places, Liu Zhang really can't do anything.

There are so many rivers and lakes in the country, but there are not so many floats in his hands.

"It's raining here in Pengcheng for a few days, if the rain here can drift to the Red Marquis Country, it would be great."

How Kong Anguo wished that the rain here would fall on the Red Marquis Kingdom, seeing Liu Zhang so worried.

Last year and this year, the drought in the Central Plains continued, and many people were displaced.

Chaotian had already tried his best to help them, and finally had to allow them to move south.

Let them seek refuge with relatives and friends, and let them find another way to make a living.

This is also to avoid the people from gathering to make trouble, and now the trouble of the Xiongnu has annoyed the imperial court.

Some bandits took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and some princes and kings were restless.

If the high-yield crop seeds provided by Liu Zhang can increase the yield per mu several times in the coming year, it will be a great achievement.

The financial revenue of the imperial court will also be greatly increased, and the war against the Xiongnu will be more secure.

The marches and battles have to be fed, and the horses, oxen, and mules have to be fed.

Especially when the war horse is full, it can run faster and more energetically.

"You can share your worries for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will remember."

Liu Che also talked to Kong Anguo many times about the suffering of the people, but the Xiongnu were the biggest scourge of the Han Dynasty at present.

Liu Che was determined to destroy the Huns, but the Huns ran away if they couldn't defeat them.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly where they're gathered, even if they're victorious.

It was only a small part of the Huns that were eliminated and consumed in the long run.

The national strength of the Han Dynasty is unbearable, and there is no good way to solve it at present.

"When I go back, I will give your majesty a pen name on this matter. Let His Majesty arrange for people to go to the Red Marquis Kingdom to buy crop seeds and sell them to the people at a low price. ”

"Thank you Mr. for your help, the people of Dahan will be very grateful to Mr. and Your Majesty."

Liu Zhang only thought of it temporarily, so he asked Kong Anguo to help with this.

This is a great effort for Kong Anguo and a great blessing for the people.

It can also share the worries and solve problems for the imperial court, since the Red Marquis has planted high-yield grain seeds.

How about this year's autumn harvest? Even in the event of a drought.

The output should be much higher than in previous years, and the Red Marquis is a demonstration to the whole country.

"Sir, wait for this autumn harvest. I will send someone to bring some white rice to your house so that you can taste the delicious taste of white rice. ”

In this era, the staple food of people is corn, yellow rice, wheat, and soybeans.

Rice is only available to southerners, and the yield is not very high.

Every year, some of the high-quality rice harvested is hulled and donated to the royal family for consumption.

The north is not suitable for rice cultivation, which is not comparable to the rice varieties and cultivation in the 22nd century.

After the autumn harvest, send some white rice to Kong Anguo.

Let him taste the sweetness of white rice, and then choose some high-quality white rice to give to the royal family.

Thinking that you will be able to eat white rice freely this fall, I feel happy when I think about it.

This reminded Liu Zhang of a famous saying: "The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy." ”
