Adjust measures to local conditions

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

Early the next morning, everyone headed to the newly cultivated land under the leadership of the agricultural officer.

When they arrived at the fields, everyone found that the land was indeed not suitable for growing wheat as the agricultural official said.

At this time, Zhang Huan asked: "Since this place is not suitable for growing wheat, why not grow other crops?"

The farmer officer looked at Zhang Yue in embarrassment.

Zhang Yue sighed, "This is someone's fault!"

"In the past, the Western Region Protectorate was short of food. A certain person ordered that more than 90% of the land reclaimed by various places must be used to grow staple food..."

After listening to Zhang Yue's words, the agricultural officer hurriedly said: "In the early years, the governor of the Western Regions needed to provide food and grass for the army... There is nothing wrong with the monarch's move... It's just that the land of Gaochang is special..."

Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "The management should adapt to local conditions, and must not be one-size-fits-all... This is an overstep!"

After Zhang Yue criticized himself, he suddenly thought that this place would be a famous grape-producing area in later generations. So in the end, he asked the agricultural officer whether this place was suitable for growing grapes.

The farmer said: "Although this place is not suitable for growing wheat, it is indeed an excellent place for growing grapes!"

The agricultural official added: "The subordinates have also reported to the Duhufu, hoping to plant grapes instead, but the Duhufu has never agreed to this matter..."

As the farmer spoke, he carefully watched Zhang Yue's reaction.

Zhang Yue nodded, understanding that the responsibility for all this actually lies with him.

If the original regulations are not modified, how can the people below dare to make such an opening?

At this time, Zhang Yue said to Zhang Huan with sincerity: "If you are in charge of the government in the future, you must remember what happened today and govern the place according to local conditions!"

Zhang Huan quickly agreed upon hearing this.

After teaching Zhang Huan, Zhang Yue turned to the agricultural officer and said:

"I think this place is a good place for growing grapes. You can make a plan and hand it over to someone...if...this place can be a Dahan wine producing area..."

"No!" the farmer agreed, rubbing his hands continuously, unable to conceal his excitement.

At this time, Du Ling, who was following him, agreed: "Now there is no shortage of food in the Western Regions, and people's lives are becoming increasingly prosperous. If grapes are planted here, I am afraid that it will soon become a rare and wealthy place for the Han Dynasty!"

Several Huang Lao people who have learned about wine also said: "What Duke Du said is true. The price of a jar of wine in Guanzhong is dozens of times that of ordinary wine... It is also difficult to find a jar at such a price... This matter really has a lot of potential."

…”

Zhang Yue listened to the discussion of several people and had some new thoughts in his mind.

Today, the Western Region has become increasingly wealthy, and the Huns in the north will no longer be able to pose a threat in a short period of time.

The Parthian Empire and Kushan could not threaten the hinterland of the Western Regions. This was a favorable opportunity to develop the economy and improve people's living standards.

With the people's living standards improving, why worry about the instability in the Western Region and the alienation of various countries.

Even if there are any changes at the top of a country, the people in the country will probably rise up first to oppose it.

However, this was not the time to make such plans. Zhang Yue decided to convene everyone to discuss the matter in detail after returning to Luntai.

However, promoting aquaculture and poultry breeding in the Western Region has been included in his plan.

In the following days, Zhang Yue accompanied Du Ling to inspect the construction of academies in Tieshan City and Gaochang Barriers.

Du Ling and other scholars were full of praise for the academies.

…

Huo Guang in the Chang'an General's Mansion fell into deep thought after reading Han Feng's memorial.

In the memorial, Han Feng requested the establishment of prefectures and counties in the area of ​​​​Three Hans. This request made Huo Guang feel embarrassed.

A few months ago, a group of virtuous writers were clamoring for the abandonment of the four counties of North Korea to the three Koreas. After they reported it to the emperor, the emperor issued an edict to convene a meeting to discuss the matter.

Although I do not agree to abandon the four counties of Korea, I still have to worry about the emperor's prestige.

Han Feng actually destroyed Sanhan at this juncture. This was a direct slap in the face of the emperor and virtuous literature.

Huo Guang could already imagine the reaction of the emperor and Zhu Xianliang when they learned about this.

…

Huo Guang's guess was good. After the emperor learned that Han Feng had slaughtered three Koreans, he could not hide his anger.

He believed that Han Feng's move was a complete provocation to the imperial power.

If Huangmenling hadn't tried his best to stop him, the angry emperor would have issued an edict to arrest Han Feng.

Although the emperor was temporarily blocked by the Huangmen Order, he still passed Huo Guang and directly sent an edict to Yang Chang, Tian Guangming, and Liu Changle to enter the palace.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, may you live forever!"

"My lords, please sit down!"

Before the three of them were completely seated, the emperor couldn't wait to order someone to hand Han Feng's memorial to the three of them.

Before the three of them had finished reading the memorial, the emperor asked: "What crime do you think Han Feng should be convicted of?"

Yang Chang and the other three were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then looked at each other in confusion.

Finally, Yang Chang, as the prime minister, stood up and said: "Why did your Majesty say such shocking words!"

Yang Chang's remarks immediately aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction.

"Han Feng sent troops without my orders. Shouldn't he be held accountable?"

Yang Chang heard the words and said bravely: "Your Majesty, Han Feng is the military envoy of Liaodong, and he has the right to specialize in conquest... Moreover, it was the three Koreans who attacked our great Han first..."

The emperor heard this and said angrily: "Even so, doesn't Han Feng know that I have ordered a meeting to discuss the abandonment of the four Korean counties? I see that he clearly despises me..."

Yang Chang said: "Your Majesty may have misunderstood Han Feng. It will take at least more than a month for the letter from Chang'an to reach Liaodong. The meeting was decided a month ago. How could Han Feng know about this..."

Although Tian Guangming has gradually been bribed by virtuous literature, he also knows the seriousness of this matter.

He said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Han wrote a letter stating that it was forty days ago that he destroyed the three Koreas. At this time, your Majesty has not ordered a meeting..."

Tian Guangming wisely stopped talking mid-sentence.

Only then did the emperor notice the time when Han Feng massacred three Koreans.

At this time, the anger in his heart finally calmed down a lot.

However, as the emperor, he naturally would not admit his mistakes, so he still said: "Even so, the conquest of the three Koreas must be repaid to me and the general first, the prime minister is the one!"

Yang Chang knew that he had offended the emperor, so he simply said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Han Feng already reported this matter in April!"

The emperor was stunned, and he seemed to have a vague impression of Yang Chang's mention.

Liu Changle smiled awkwardly at this time, "Your Majesty was summoning Marquis Lianyang and his ministers that day..."

After Liu Changle's prompting, the emperor finally remembered this matter.

On that day, the doctors were discussing with themselves the benefits of abandoning the four Korean counties, so they casually put Han Feng's memorial aside without thinking...

When the emperor thought of this, he became even more angry.

At this time, he stubbornly believed that Han Feng was deliberately provoking his authority.

"Even so, Han Feng is good at provocation, and I think he should be punished!"

Yang Chang naturally knew that this was inappropriate, but at this time his cowardly character broke out again, and he finally agreed to the emperor's wish to punish Han Feng.

At this time, the emperor finally showed a proud smile on his face.
