When Liu Chang arrived at Tingwei's prison, Wang Tianqi was already waiting for him.
"King!"
Wang Tianqi hurriedly bowed down and bowed, and said respectfully: "I'm telling you, Your Majesty, that I have found 800 armored stomachs from the residence of Prince Zhao Shi of South Vietnam, and have captured his subordinates..."
Liu Chang was stunned and said quietly: "Wang Tingwei... It's hot in South Vietnam, and soldiers mostly use vegetation as shields... You can't even get eight hundred armors by selling Zhao Tuo..."
Wang Tianqi was stunned and asked: "Then two hundred were found?"
"Are you working as an errand in Shang Fang Mansion?"
"Ah? What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Why can't I get through it with the stomach? Let him go."
Wang Tianqi immediately came to his senses and said, "It's my fault. This stomach is not the secret possession of the Prince of South Vietnam! I will let him go now!"
Liu Chang stood here and waited. Liu Chang was a little confused about the current officials of Tingwei. The officials who were the officials when Liu Chang was young have already been promoted and they don't know where they are. Now this group is new.
He was no longer as friendly to Liu Chang as before, and he looked extremely restrained. He did not dare to move when he stood in front of Liu Chang.
Liu Chang was a little disappointed with them. Those Tingwei officials dared to set up an ambush in front of the Yellow Palace to catch him. Today's young people really don't have the same motivation as in the past. Tingwei was the most arrogant period.
It was probably during Cao Shen's meeting. Cao Shen indulged the Tingwei and was really reckless. He dared to arrest people in front of Liu Bang. The second place in military achievements in the founding of the Han Dynasty was really not an exaggeration.
At that time, there was also Lieutenant Donkey Ting, who was also a ruthless man who dared to arrest and kill anyone.
Wang Tianqi is more obedient than Xuanyi, but he doesn't have the courage of Xuanyi. They both have their own strengths.
Liu Chang waited here for a long time, and Wang Tianqi walked out with a look of helplessness.
"Where is Zhao Shi?"
"Your Majesty...he doesn't want to come out..."
This is the first time Wang Tianqi has seen such a person. When others were brought here, they were all crying and shouting to get out. This guy is really good. He didn't want to come out no matter what. He even said that he was planning to poison him.
Liu Chang wants Tingwei to execute him immediately... If it weren't for his identity, Wang Tianqi really wouldn't want to spoil him, so why not.
Seeing Wang Tingwei's appearance, Liu Chang shook his head.
I think this matter really made my uncle feel a little wronged.
It seems that I still have to take action myself.
When Liu Chang came to the prison, he felt that it was still so familiar. He had been here not once or twice, and the general environment here had not changed much. It was really a good place for a man to achieve enlightenment. I think all the sages who came here were there.
This enlightenment led to today's achievements.
"Mr. Zhao~~"
"Prince Zhao?"
Liu Chang shouted several times, but Zhao Shi remained sitting in the shadow of the prison, silent.
"Open the door!"
Liu Changren opened the door, and when he was about to walk in, an official stopped him hurriedly, "Your Majesty, this is an ominous place, and no emperor can enter!"
"Fart! I have lived here as my own house since I was a child!"
Liu Chang pushed the man away and walked into the prison. However, the prison today was a bit small for Liu Chang. Liu Chang could kowtow when he jumped. He could only lower his head and carefully walked to Zhao Shi.
and sat down next to him.
Zhao Shi lowered his head and looked very unhappy.
Liu Chang actually understood his mood very well. If he had been wronged, he would probably be even more angry than him... Liu Chang leaned his back against the wall and sighed: "This is a good place to escape the summer heat."
"Uncle... you are not a paranoid person. Do you know the story about Meng's mother jumping over the wall?"
Zhao Zong, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help it anymore, "It was Meng's mother who threw herself into a tree!"
"It's almost the same. Someone told Mother Meng that Mencius had killed someone. After telling her three times, Mother Meng believed her and jumped over the wall and ran away. No one could catch up with her."
"The same goes for me. I originally believed in you. However, Chen Ping came to me three times and said that you were treason...I was also a little shaken. With Mencius's character and Meng's mother's trust in him, it would have
I doubt that your morals and talents are inferior to Mencius now. Although my morals and talents exceed Mencius, I am not your grandmother, so it is normal to have doubts in my heart, right?"
"I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but you treated me like this."
Zhao Shi still looked a little aggrieved.
"Not so."
"If I don't trust you, why would I treat you as my servant and let you accompany me at all times?"
Zhao Shi raised his head and looked around blankly.
"You were born here, and your mother died here too."
Liu Chang frowned and did not answer.
"Your mother is a very gentle person... I can't remember her appearance... I only remember that she hurt the official and asked me to run away first..."
"I can't remember the rest."
"Sir...you can deny us...but you can't deny your mother...she died here to keep you alive."
"I know... So, I am trying to live a better life... to live up to this life."
"You can't blame your mother..."
"I have never blamed her, and I am not qualified to blame her... If I were to blame, I can only blame my father for turning his back on me."
The two sat in the dark prison and started chatting.
"There's no meat and wine here, so it's better to leave."
"I won't go out... You are wronging me! Unless you call me uncle, I will never go out and die here!"
"you..."
"uncle..."
"Hahaha!"
Zhao was finally satisfied, got up in a hurry, pulled Liu Chang and walked out. As he walked, he said: "The stench here is terrible. I haven't eaten for a day. I'm starving to death. Can I have wine and meat?" Liu Chang said with a dark face.
I've been fooled! How does this guy look like he has a death wish?
However, Liu Chang was still very grateful to his uncle. If the rice seed he sent could be promoted throughout the Han Dynasty, the grain production of the Han Dynasty could be increased many times, and how many people could be fed. With this credit alone,
In fact, it was enough to make him a marquis in the Han Dynasty. It was not impossible to make him a hereditary and irreplaceable king of Nanyue in the Han Dynasty.
Food is the first priority for the people, and the Han Dynasty paid the most attention to farming. In the early days of the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, extremely high commercial taxes were used to subsidize agriculture and mulberry. Even during the violent Qin Dynasty, there were clear regulations in the early days, and everything was regulated.
We must make way for farmers and mulberry trees, and war must not delay farmers and mulberry trees... Unfortunately, later, after the unification, the King of Qin did something better, and he often recruited millions of people to do corvee service, regardless of whether it would delay farmers and mulberry trees.
However, the old Qin king mostly recruited people from the six countries, and probably regarded these defeated people as enemies or prisoners of war. By the time of the young Qin king, even the old Qin people were recruited, and the result was that the Gao Emperor came to the old Qin people's territory.
, the old Qin people responded one after another and resolutely followed Emperor Gao to destroy Qin. The old Qin people also had something to say, who are we? Our ancestors followed the first emperor to cross the border. Can you, the second generation, let us do corvee work?
Is it possible?
In addition, it is worth mentioning that during the Second Period, the people who participated in the corvee were not given any rations at all, and they had to bring their own food. Therefore, many mass graves were found outside many buildings in the Qin State... During the First Emperor's period
, one meal a day can barely keep you from starving to death, but the high-intensity work does not match the meal.
Zhao Shi followed Liu Chang out of Tingwei's prison, his face full of joy, and it didn't look like he had just come out of the prison.
"Does your rice seed have a name?"
"No..."
"Then how about calling it Tang Wangdao?"
"Hmm?? This is not from the Tang Dynasty at all, so why is it called Tang Wangdao?"
"It sounds good."
"Why not call it Nanyue Wangdao?"
"It sounds ugly."
Wang Tianqi followed them helplessly, and just as he was about to say something, Liu Chang waved his hand, "No need to send it off anymore, go back!"
"Your Majesty...then..."
"Let's go. You, Lieutenant Ting, have done quite well recently. The people in the Salt and Iron Rebellion must cooperate with the embroidery and put things in order!"
Liu Chang pulled Zhao Shi into the car, and the two of them came to the Tang Palace together. In order to express his apology, Liu Chang gave a rather sumptuous banquet. The two of them ate and drank, and Liu Chang's mood improved a lot.
, "This Tang Wang rice, I have sent people to search for it, get more seeds, start from Wu State, and cultivate all the way up!"
"I even specially ordered the border guards to look for this kind of high-yielding grain!"
"Especially in the Western Region, I heard that there are many new crops. If we can get them all, it would be a great thing."
Liu Chang said drunkenly: "If I can make all the people in the world full, then I, Liu Chang, will be the emperor of the ages. How can you say that my father is so virtuous? He actually has a son like me?"
Zhao Shi's face also turned red, and he frowned, "Oh... I feel like something is wrong. I feel like I forgot something."
"Hahaha, are there any other crops?"
"Well...it seems so. I'll think about it after I get back."
"What are you going to do when you go back? Just stay here!"
The two of them stayed at the Tang Prince's Mansion.
...
Although Hexi is large, it is full of waste and needs to be developed.
The extent of this state of waste waiting to be revitalized far exceeds that of Tang and Zhao. Zhao was ruined because of civil strife, and Tang was because of a small number of people. But they both had a foundation. For example, after Tang recovered Henan, it could still take over this place.
It developed rapidly because there was a foundation and a city here.
This place was once run by both Zhao and Qin. No matter how dilapidated it was, it was still a former city. But as for Hexi, this place had been the settlement of other Hu people for a long time before the Huns. There was no basis for development, whether it was a city or a city.
, roads, and even the current administrative offices of various counties and counties are full of barbarian style. The city walls alone are completely different from those in the Central Plains. The buildings are low, especially the city walls. Some places are simply fences.
The function is to prevent livestock from escaping, not to defend against powerful enemies.
The road is entirely for cavalry, and the carriage here can kill the people inside.
The residences are even more primitive and shockingly primitive.
It was in a farmhouse-like building that Lu Jia met Taiwei Zhou Bo.
Lu Jia didn't feel uncomfortable because of this simple environment. He didn't care whether his clothes would get dirty or not, so he sat down directly.
Luan Bu welcomed Lu Jia's arrival, while Zhou Bo acted a little coldly.
"There are few people in Hexi. Fortunately, the king wants to build the imperial mausoleum here, so many people have moved. Now there are more than ten thousand people in our government, still cultivating... There are enough officials, but there are still a few
Officials from several counties have never arrived, and the journey is long."
Luan Bu was not dissatisfied with the current situation at all. Instead, he believed that this was where the great man could show his abilities. He wanted to manage this treasure land for the great king into a kingdom of abundance like Bashu.
.
If the king wants to be the King of Qin, then he must be Li Bing!
After listening to Luan Bu's words, Lu Jia smiled and said: "I saw that the officials here did not want this place to be deserted. Their faces were happy and their spirits were like the morning sun. I am sure that there will be great governance here!"
Hearing this, Luan Bu was even more happy, "I'd like to lend you some good advice!"
The two were about to start another round of nonsense, but Zhou Bo interrupted them.
"How long will Mr. Lu need to rest this time?"
Lu Jia said seriously: "No rest, we will set off today... to the countries in the Western Regions."
"Please ask the Lieutenant to recruit a guide and translator for me..."
"How many soldiers are needed?"
"Six soldiers are enough, there is no need to send more people."
"good!"
Zhou Bo was very straightforward, while Luan Bu was much calmer, "Mr. Lu, we are going to another country this time. I need to explain the situation in detail to you. It is best to leave tomorrow..."
Zhou Bo didn't speak again, and after a while, he left.
Luan Bu said: "Lieutenant Zhou is busy with military affairs. In recent days, the Xiongnu have been knocking on the border a lot. Taiwei has fought with them several times. The war is urgent. He is not looking down on you. Please forgive me."
Lu Jia shook his head, "Lieutenant Zhou fought to the death for his country. Even if he punched me, he wouldn't dare to blame me."
"Okay, then let me tell you... The country closest to us is the Loulan Kingdom... There are lakes here. It is also a powerful country among the countries in the Western Regions. Its king has never had anything to do with the Xiongnu or the Han Dynasty.
Contact, I heard that his king can be regarded as a wise king. After taking power, he made many good strategies and won the support of the people..."
Luan Bu carefully introduced the situation in the Western Regions, while Lu Jia kept it in mind.
When facing different people, you need to use different methods.
...
Liu Chang had a smile on his face at this moment.
"I found Tangwang rice from South Vietnam and spread it all over the world. How does this achievement compare to that of Emperor Gao?"
"I think that the merits of the king are unparalleled... It's a pity..."
Zhou Chang had a troubled expression on his face.
"Huh? What's a pity?"
"When Emperor Gao was seriously ill, he did not forget the affairs of the state, inspected various places, supervised the cultivation of mulberry trees, and rectified the administration of officials. However, the king was in this temple. I am afraid he is already unfamiliar with the place."
Hearing these words, Liu Chang stroked his chin, "What you said makes sense... Various places are in turmoil because of the salt and iron incident. I have to go and see... That Commander Feng of Qi State refuses to obey.
The order requires Ji Bu to personally take action. If we go to various places, who among them will dare to show mercy to the traitor?"
"Your Majesty is so wise!"
Zhou Chang said: "We should rectify these disobedient people!"
Liu Changxi said, "Okay, I'll ask you to take care of it."
Zhou Chang was extremely excited. This foolish king had finally gone to cause harm to other places. In the past few days, Liu Chang had been calling him to his side. At one time, he said that he would promote improved varieties, and at other times, he would find farmers to cultivate new varieties.
, one day he said that he would summon three million people to build a nationwide Chidao, which frightened Zhou Chang so much that he could not sleep at night and had trouble sleeping and eating.
What the temple is doing now has left the ministers unable to spare any leisure time.
It's so pitiful that all the officials in the court were lying in front of the eucalyptus tablets all day long without even a chance to get up. Envoys from all over the place were coming and going constantly, and the local officials were issuing decrees one after another. There were not enough officials. This king
It was so exhausting that six or seven of the ministers in the court had already collapsed from exhaustion.
That is to say, the ministers in the court and the local officials are all very powerful. After all, they are all ruthless people with titles. If there were a different group of people, I am afraid that the big man will be tormented by the king and his country will be subjugated.
Now Zhou Chang and his officials finally felt the importance of Zhang Cang.
When Zhang Cang was still there, he could still suppress Liu Chang. He could help stabilize whatever decrees Liu Chang wanted to implement. But now, decrees are flying all over the sky. Such a king who was very happy with his achievements, Zhou Chang has also seen it in the history books
I have been here before, but this is the first time Zhou Chang has seen someone who is so eager for success and quick success, and who sends people to urge him at every turn.
Therefore, Zhou Chang urgently hopes that the king can go out for a walk and stop staying in Chang'an and continue to harm the ministers.
Liu Chang also thought this proposal was a good one. He didn't like staying in Chang'an at all, especially when all the sages and scholars were gone. What was he doing here? He should be inspecting various places like the First Emperor!
I haven’t stayed in the Wu Kingdom for too long, so I have to come to the Wu Kingdom six times to enjoy the food of the Wu Kingdom, visit the customs and customs of the Wu Kingdom, and let the people of the Wu Kingdom also feel that they are from the common people.
That deep love.
Thinking of this, Liu Chang couldn't help but laugh.
"Duke Zhou, I have thought about it. I want to go to the land south of the Yangtze River. You must prepare well. The palace attendants must follow you. There should not be too many, more than a thousand people are enough. In addition, the Northern Army must dispatch soldiers as a
I don’t need too many ceremonial guards. Five or six thousand people are enough. In addition, the horses must be uniform chariots. The chassis must be the most luxurious, even more luxurious than the First Emperor’s. Prepare six for me.
Such a car!”
"There are also food, money...all prepared for me!"
The smile on Zhou Chang's face suddenly solidified.
"Your Majesty...No way!!"
"You were the one who persuaded me to go, why are you trying to dissuade me now? Are you just teasing me?!"
"Your Majesty, if you patrol like this, the treasury will definitely not be able to support it..."
When Liu Chang was about to speak, Zhou Chang quickly said: "Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to you. I will definitely satisfy your Majesty. So many people accompanying you will only spoil your Majesty's interest!"
"Then prepare yourself!"
Liu Chang waved his hand and sent Zhou Chang off.
Zhao Shi was quite happy, "Sir, I can go to South Vietnam this time. The scenery of South Vietnam is completely different from that of the Central Plains."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to South Vietnam...I'm going this time, and I plan to take my sons and daughters with me..."
"Ah? Why is this?"
"Hmph, how can you become a wise king if you stay here in Chang'an all day? You have to let those little guys see the situation among the people!"
Liu Chang said seriously: "If you don't go out and take a look, they won't understand what their mission is. It was only after my mother took me to Luoyang that I woke up and stopped hanging out with villains and sages."
As a friend, I thought about how to govern the great Han Dynasty and worked diligently to achieve what we are today."
"Go and prepare for me... huh? By the way, where is me??"
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly: "It's broken! He is still in Tingwei Prison!!"
ps: We have already ordered 55,000 yuan, hahaha, we are just over 3,000 yuan short of becoming my husband. Thank you all for your strong support!!
