Chapter 31 Prime Minister Zhuge is back

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Common people, officials.

Everyone is shouting long live.

Although Liu Chan enjoyed this kind of treatment, his thoughts were still on the two carts of rice.

I looked at it carefully for a while.

Liu Chan couldn't believe these two carts of rice. They weighed more than a thousand kilograms.

After all, this carriage is not big.

The body of the truck is not deep either.

This is definitely not more than a thousand kilograms, it is estimated to be only five or six hundred kilograms.

"Could it be?"

"Did I remember it wrong?"

"But it's not right."

"I remember that one stone in the Qin Dynasty was equal to one hundred and twenty kilograms."

"Could it be that in the Han Dynasty or the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the measurement units of the Qin Dynasty were not followed at all, and one stone is not equal to one hundred and twenty kilograms?"

Liu Chan looked at the rice in the carriage and muttered to himself inexplicably. He felt that maybe this could explain it. After all, he could still feel the weight of more than a thousand kilograms.

The common people and the officials didn't care about this. They only knew that the young emperor in front of them had brought them a surprise.

Using his method to grow rice, the yield is three times their original, which is enough.

"Your Majesty!"

Just when Liu Chan was in a daze, Queen Zhang Yuan came to him and brought him back to his senses.

The common people around him, as well as the court officials behind him, were still kneeling on the ground.

"Everyone, please come back straight!"

Liu Chan raised his hand politely, and after everyone stood up to thank them, he smiled and said to the people: "Fellows, although the new rice planting method is more complicated than the traditional planting method, everyone has seen the harvest.

."

"As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for Taoists. Food is the lifeblood of our people. The more food we have, the better our lives will be, and the Han Dynasty will become stronger and stronger."

"You said that, right?"

The first time he gave a speech in front of the people, Liu Chan actually didn’t know what to say.

But as soon as he finished speaking, all the people responded excitedly and loudly: "Yes, your Majesty is right, we big men will become stronger and stronger."

"Long live the great man!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live the great man!"

"…"

Listening to the deafening shouts of the people, Liu Chan was deeply touched. In such a troubled world, the people's demands are really not high.

They just want to eat.

Then live a good and stable life.

As long as you let them see hope, they will support your rule.

Liu Chan did his first step.

He improved the method of growing rice and tripled the grain yield, which is why the people were so excited.

Liu Chan suddenly felt that it is not difficult to become an emperor supported by the people. As long as you think more about them, do more for them, improve their lives, and give them a stable environment, they will

I will support you.

Now that Liu Chan has accomplished the first thing, which is to let the common people have food to eat, he has to do another thing, which is to give them a peaceful world.

Liu Chan then announced in public that from now on, people in the Han Dynasty would use new methods to grow rice, and the court would vigorously promote this new planting method.

Shi Zhangyi, director of the Prime Minister's Office, publicly stated that he would promote this new planting method across the country as soon as possible.

Liu Chan is very satisfied.

If the people in Shu cultivated rice in this way, not to mention all the rice grown by the people, the yield would be as amazing as his this time.

However, he firmly believes.

As long as everyone implements it seriously, the food output in Shu will definitely double in the future.

With enough food reserves, Prime Minister Zhuge will have less to worry about in the future.

……

In just over half a year, Liu Chan improved the method of growing rice, and the grain output increased three times compared with the original.

He also refined refined salt, opening up a new source of income for the Han Dynasty.

This matter soon reached the ears of Zhuge Liang, who was fighting the rebellion in Nanzhong.

"Yang Canjun!" Zhuge Liang asked Canjun Yang Yi in disbelief: "Is this serious?"

The suppression of the rebellion in Nanzhong has ended, and Meng Huo has expressed his surrender, saying that Nanzhong will never rebel against the Han again.

Just when Zhuge Liang was delighted, Yang Yi, who joined the army, suddenly reported to Zhuge Liang what happened in Chengdu.

"Prime Minister!" Yang Yi said with certainty: "This is absolutely true. Master Bosong is now in charge of refined salt and has begun mass production; for rice cultivation, His Majesty personally planted an acre of rice."

When talking about rice, Yang Yi seemed particularly excited: "The yield of the rice planted by His Majesty is three times that of the common people, and the yield is nine and a half stones per mu."

Hiss——

"God bless the man!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked up to the sky and sighed: "It must have been the late emperor who appeared in heaven to allow your majesty to accomplish such great deeds."

"There is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty!"

"There's hope!"

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. He had not smiled since the death of the late Emperor Baidi Cheng.

At least Yang Yi has not seen it.

Seeing the smile on the prime minister's face at this time, Yang Yi was also very happy.

"Yang Junjun, send the order!" Zhuge Liang suddenly said to Yang Yi: "The troops will return to the court in three days."

"No!"

Yang Yi agreed and exited the account excitedly.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, his brows stretched, he was already returning home, he wanted to go back to Chengdu to see it in person.

Take a look at the refined salt refined by Liu Chan.

Look at the rice grown by Liu Chan.

……

December 25, 225 AD.

The southern suburbs of Chengdu.

Both sides of the wide official road were already lined with Chengdu residents and people from surrounding areas.

Above the officialdom are the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty.

And in the middle of these civil and military officials, there stood a luxurious carriage driven by six horses. The carriage's body was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and it was also inlaid with various gold, silver and jade articles, showing the royal dignity and luxury.<

/p>

Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty and Queen Zhang Yuan stood side by side on the left front of the carriage.

They stared at the official road ahead.

When the sound of horse hoofbeats came slowly, everyone stretched their necks and looked around excitedly.

I saw a group of cavalry galloping towards me. Behind the cavalry, there were overwhelming banners fluttering in the wind.

"The Prime Minister is back!"

"The Prime Minister is back!"

The crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into cheers. Today they are here to welcome the soldiers who have returned victoriously from the pacification of Nanzhong.

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang returned from pacifying Nanzhong.

Liu Chan was very excited.

When he saw the group of cavalry, he took Zhang Yuan's hand and went forward to greet them.

Although the ministers behind him also came forward to greet them, they always kept a certain distance from the emperor and empress.

After walking about a hundred or so meters, Liu Chan and Zhang Yuan stopped in place. The vanguard troops led by the cavalry automatically moved to both sides and stood still two to three hundred meters away from Liu Chan.

Behind them were hundreds of flag-bearing soldiers, with neat steps and firm eyes.

A huge flag with the word "Han" in it makes people look very friendly, and behind it is a smaller flag with the word "Zhuge" written on it.

The flag-bearing soldiers passed slowly through the middle of the cavalry, and the knights on both sides immediately shouted:

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The roars of the knights suddenly resounded through the sky, shaking the mountains and rivers.
