"Your Majesty, I believe that Marquis Gong Gao has made meritorious deeds and should be rewarded rather than punished!"

When Yang Chang said this, many people breathed a sigh of relief, but also disappointed many people.

The ones who breathed a sigh of relief were naturally the military nobles who represented the interests of Kansai.

What is disappointing is the virtuous literature that represents the interests of the powerful powers in Guandong.

Of course, the most disappointed person is the emperor who is above Dan.

When the young emperor heard what Yang Chang said, his face turned pale with anger.

There was a loud "bang" sound, and the emperor jumped up uncontrollably.

He pointed at Yang Chang, his fingers trembling, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, and the meeting will end here today..."

Upon seeing this, Huo Guang immediately announced with an expressionless expression that the meeting would end early.

The emperor was about to get angry when he heard this, but in the end he slumped down on the throne of Emperor Dan.

Everyone stood up from their seats and prepared to leave the hall when Huo Guang's voice sounded again.

"Anyone who spreads the news about today's events belongs to the three barbarian tribes, no matter how high or low they are!"

As soon as Huo Guang said this, everyone was shocked.

"promise"

"I beg you to retire. Your Majesty will live forever, and your general will be mighty!"

When the ministers and ministers were leaving the palace, a man quietly went to the Xuanshi Hall.

…

After Zhang Yue returned to Luntai, he immediately summoned Hua Zhu, Cai Ting and Jiang Han.

"Hua Gong and Cai Gong believe that the strength of the Han Dynasty lies not only in the strength of the country's military, but also in the well-being and prosperity of the people's lives!"

"The country is based on the people, and food is the first priority for the people. Although the people of the Western Regions no longer have to worry about hunger and poverty, the lives of the people in the Western Regions are still far from being prosperous..."

Cai Ting heard the words and agreed: "What the Lord said is true. It is the way of a saint to make the people live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life!"

Hua Zhu also said: "Making people's lives prosperous is what I want in my life!"

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "I think that in order to make people's lives prosperous, we must first enrich their dining tables..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Ting knew that Zhang Yue must have made a plan.

"What are your plans?" he asked bluntly.

Hua Zhu didn't say anything, but his eyes were already looking at Jiang Han.

Zhang Yue said: "It's not a matter of success, I just have some ideas, please listen to them!"

Cai Ting heard this and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please speak!"

Zhang Yuedao: "In the past, in order to ensure the supply of grain and grass, a certain person once ordered that more than 90% of the fields in the Western Regions must be cultivated for grain..."

"However, today the grain storages in the Western Region are abundant...this policy should also be changed. While ensuring the staple food, all areas should also plant products suitable for the local area according to local conditions..."

"In this way, the people's dining table can be abundant, and the people of the Han Dynasty can truly benefit from the prosperity of the Han Dynasty..."

After hearing this, Cai Ting pondered for a moment and said: "What the Lord said is reasonable, but I think that the area planted with staple food should be no less than 60%..."

After Cai Ting finished speaking, Zhang Yue turned to Hua Zhu and said, "What do you think, Duke Hua?"

Hua Zhu made some calculations in his mind and said, "Now in the Western Region, only 35% of the land can ensure the supply of food and grass for the people and the army..."

"However, in order to deal with emergencies, we must ensure that we have sufficient food reserves to be prepared..."

"I think it is really necessary to guarantee 60% of the land for growing staple foods as mentioned by Mr. Cai..."

Zhang Yue thought about it and said: "Would it be a little less if 40% of the land is freely planted?"

Cai Ting said: "Junhou thinks that 40% of the land can be planted freely. Nowadays, the population in the Western Region is growing rapidly. If we completely allow freedom, it may affect the population growth..."

As soon as Cai Ting said this, it hit what Zhang Yue valued most.

"In this case, we will do it according to Cai Gong's wishes... Cai Gong, please finalize the rules and distribute them to all places as soon as possible!"

"promise"

Cai Ting promised, "Don't worry, Lord, this matter can be completed within a month!"

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction.

Only then did Zhang Yue call Jiang Han over.

"Hua Gong, this is Jiang Han..."

Zhang Yue briefly introduced Jiang Han to Hua Zhu.

"Hua Gong, I want to promote aquaculture in various parts of the Western Region, what do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Hua Zhu said: "Your Majesty, this is good governance. If the people can eat more fish and turtles, night blindness can also be reduced..."

"It's just that not all places in the Western Regions can do this. I think it's better to "adapt measures to local conditions" as the Lord said..."

Zhang Yue agreed: "What Hua Gong said is true. Jiang Han is the one who wants to take charge of this matter... and try out aquaculture in a suitable place..."

Hua Zhu agreed: "That's very good!"

Zhang Yue just turned around and said to Jiang Han seriously: "I will leave this matter to you, and you will be able to complete it!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Han immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to my mission!"

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Cai Ting: "Cai Gong wants Jiang Han to be the aquatic products ambassador with a salary of 400 dan. What do you think?"

Although Cai Ting felt that the salary of four hundred stones was a bit high, he still agreed after thinking about it.

…

After Jiang Han and Hua Zhu left, Cai Ting asked Zhang Yue in confusion: "Why did you set Jiang Han's salary so high!"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, don't underestimate the art of raising fish. If it can really succeed, it will be beneficial to the country and the people!"

Cai Ting said: "It is a good thing to have more fish and turtles on the common people's dining table, but..."

Zhang Yue said: "Does Mr. Cai know that in addition to reducing night blindness, eating more fish and turtles among the people has another great benefit?"

Cai Ting said with interest: "I wonder what other benefits it has?"

Zhang Yue said slowly: "It can also improve height and strength!"

Cai Ting was surprised: "There are such benefits..."

Zhang Yue smiled when he saw this and said: "After careful observation, Mr. Cai will know that what I said is true..."

Cai Ting laughed after hearing this.

At this time, Zhang Yue poured Cai Ting a cup of tea.

After the two of them rested for a while, Cai Ting asked again: "Does Jun Houdang have other plans?"

Zhang Yuedao: "Yes, I plan to build Gaochang into a wine production base..."

"In addition, a certain government has also researched some novel foods and plans to promote them as well..."

Hearing this, Cai Ting said: "The land of Gaochang is indeed an excellent grape growing land. If it can produce a large amount of wine, it will also be a great source of wealth for the Duhu Mansion..."

Zhang Yue said: "So Cai Gong agreed to this matter!"

Cai Ting said with a smile: "There are really not many places suitable for growing wheat here. It is good governance to plant grapes in places that are not suitable for planting wheat!"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "With Mr. Cai's support, I can rest assured!"

Cai Ting laughed: "Your Majesty just said that there is something new to eat. I wonder if I can taste it first..."

Zhang Yue laughed loudly: "I don't dare to invite you despite my wishes!"

The two joked with each other, and when it was time to eat, Zhang Yue directly invited Cai Ting to dine with him.

Cai Ting did not delay and said with a smile: "Then let the subordinates see what novel food the Lord has prepared..."

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Baojun is satisfied!"
