The arable land along the road is very fertile, and there is no barren area. The township is connected together. The distance between the county and the county seems to have been much shortened. The Liang State is not big today, but it just occupies the most fertile land in the Central Plains. Because of the extremely relaxed atmosphere of Liang State itself, a large number of people pour in from all over the country, and grain production has skyrocketed. With a county, it has become the most important granary in the world. Liang State has more than 30 cities, all of which are fertile in the world.
Zhang Cang was right at the beginning. As long as he did not bother the people, he would definitely not lack political achievements.
When Liu Ying came to the capital Suiyang, he couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the world.
It is clearly the land of the Han Dynasty, but the difference between countries is simply unimaginable. This difference is not only reflected in different natural environments, but also in huge differences in humanities. Most of the cities of Zhao State reflect a feeling of sorrow. The broken black walls and the people are mostly serious. The most prosperous city of Handan City, the architectural styles in the city are all filled with a sense of solemnity. The entire Zhao State has a kind of dusk atmosphere, and the decline of heroes is like the sword wrapped in hay by the Zhao people.
How can Liang State say it? It is gentle and tolerant, with wide open city gates and no military buildings. The bright complex has the greatest softness, as if he stretches out his hand to welcome all the children coming, like a kind mother.
Just as Liu Ying was sighing at Liang State, King Liang had already appeared in front of him.
"Brother!
!”
Liu Hui was very excited, and his increasingly rounded face was filled with a smile.
"Fifth brother..."
Liu Ying was relatively thin, and Liu Hui was able to stand up to three Liu Yings. However, under the gaze of his elder brother, Liu Hui felt that he had returned to the past, just like when his elder brother suddenly came to Tianlu Pavilion to check the study situation of his younger brothers. He was a little excited and uneasy. He was excited because he could meet his elder brother, and uneasy because he was afraid that he had done something bad enough and was scolded by his elder brother.
"Hua, it's said that Liang Guo's grain production is the most abundant. I didn't believe it at first. Seeing you like this, I believed it... The grain production is very rich."
Liu Ying patted Liu Hui's round belly with the back of her hand.
Liu Hui quickly took a deep breath and tried to put away his abdomen.
"Okay! Don't make things difficult for yourself!"
Liu Hui then laughed, "Second brother..."
The two walked into the city all the way. Like Liu Chang, Liu Hui's body was quite obvious and could not hide himself. Therefore, they could only take a car and not hike. Liu Ying looked around. The people here did not look anxious and were a little lazy. They could even see farmers holding farm tools and chatting on the side of the road. Even the soldiers at the gate of the city did not look scary.
"I thought you would come to Liang State again in the end."
"I went to Zhao State, and then went around Tang State. I originally wanted to go to Yan State, but Yan State was fighting, so I came to your place... After a few days, I will go to Qi State, from Qi State to Chu, Wu, Changsha, and then from Nanjun to Chang'an..."
The two brothers were chatting. When Liu Ying saw the prosperous scene in the city, she couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that among my younger brothers, you are the best you can govern the country..."
Liu Hui was very clear, "This has nothing to do with me. The main reason is that Liang Kingdom is in the world, with great connections and a lot of arable land. After I took office, I only issued a policy of allowing reclamation, and then I did nothing..."
"If Ruyi heard what you said, she would not know what she would think..."
Liu Hui scratched his head without answering.
"Both Zhao and Tang were both in trouble because of their agricultural affairs. Why are there no movement here?"
"Yes, let's go! Brother, I'll take you to see it!
”
The carriage immediately changed its direction and rushed towards the west of the city. Liu Hui said as if he was seeking credit: "My elder brother wants to promote agriculture, and my country of Liang must take on the important task... Come on, you can use this cloth to surround your mouth and nose first..."
Liu Hui skillfully took out the cloth, and Liu Ying looked at him suspiciously, "Why is this?"
"Well, I want to take you to the largest experimental field in Dahan. I summoned the farmers in the Central Plains and rewarded them with more than 200 miles of Dongyuan, so that they could use them as their own experimental field to improve their cultivation methods..."
This Dongyuan is the same as Liu Chang's Shanglin Garden. It is a place where King Liang visited. Liu Ying was very moved at first. My good brother, for the sake of his eldest brother, even his own private garden was directly rewarded to the farmers for trouble.
"Okay, okay, Brother Hui, you've been miserable. Even your private garden has been rewarded. You have more than 200 miles of land...well?? More than 200 miles?"
Liu Ying's face changed drastically and she cursed: "I'm talking about how you are becoming more and more obese? There are more than 200 miles of Dongyuan for your enjoyment? How big is your capital?"
"I'll kill you today..."
Liu Ying was so angry that she was about to take off her shoes. Liu Hui quickly explained: "Brother! Brother! Listen to my explanation. This was expanded by my mother when she came to Liang Kingdom to help him play. The first person to build was Peng Yue, and it has nothing to do with me!
”
After hearing his explanation, Liu Ying temporarily forgives him.
"Then what does this have to do with covering your mouth and nose?"
"Oh, I don't know what these farmers think... They use some bad smells tossed my Dongyuan all day long. It's a good garden, and no one dares to get close to them. The smell is so stinking... You can smell it a few miles away... No wonder the farmers advocate farming and fighting, and there is no problem sending them to the battlefield. Once those things are thrown, the enemy will definitely lose their armor and run away... I came to the wrong place in Liang State, and should go to Yan State to fight..."
"Hmph, this is a good thing for the world, but you dislike the smell? Can't you, the princes, endure hardship? Those farmers are busy in the farmland all day long. How can you bring cloth to see them?!"
Liu Hui lowered his head and listened to his brother telling the big truth.
These people grew up listening to their second brother's reasoning since childhood. Liu Ying talked about the truth one by one. Soon, they came to the west of the city. The garden once turned into a large area of arable land. From a distance, you can see a large group of people busy in the arable land, without saying anything between them. Some lie in the soil, while others squatted beside the arable land and observing something. While seeing them, the stench instantly made people feel overwhelmed.
Liu Ying's face changed suddenly.
He hurriedly looked at his younger brother beside him. Liu Hui had already covered his mouth and nose tightly, and was now staring at his brother with wide eyes.
Under his comments, Liu Ying pursed her lips and finally swallowed the words.
In front of your younger brother, you must maintain your elder brother’s dignity!
When King Liang came here and got off the car, the reactions of these farmers were different. Some were very respectful and rushed to pay homage. Some were just looking from afar, not close, and some bowed down to salute. Liu Ying was not an illiterate person like Liu Chang. Through their actions, they could analyze what faction they belonged to. Although the farmers were not as prestigious as Huang Lao Ru and Mo, they were not too small in various schools of thought.
Those who were truly small in size had lost records in later generations, and many of them were not even able to withstand this moment. They died suddenly on the spot during the book collection movement at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
In the 34th year of Emperor Shihuang, Prime Minister Li Si submitted a memorial: "I request that the historians burn it all without the Qin Records. They are not under the position of doctoral officials. Those who dare to keep the poems and books in the world will all go to the guards and Wei Za and others to burn it. Some people dare to write about the poems and books occasionally. Those who dare to say "Books" will abandon the market; those who are not in the present will be clans; those who are not in the past will be punished by the officials. Those who do not know what to say will be punished by the officials. The order will not burn it for thirty days and will be a city. Those who do not leave are medicine, divination, and trees. If you want to learn the laws and regulations, you should take officials as your teacher."
The collection of books in the world, except for medical books, hexagrams, agricultural books, and other books, were burned. I don’t know how many schools died on the spot, and even the names of the schools were not passed down...
Although the farmhouse is not small, Liu Ying looked around and saw that there were many people busy in the farmland, and it was estimated that there were nearly a thousand people, which was more than the farmhouses in Chang'an.
"How did you get so many farmhouses?"
"I just ordered that farmers come to Liangguo to develop farmland technology, and give them enough farmland, farm tools, grain planting, and whatever they want... and use as long as they want, and then they all came..."
Liu Hui was so proud that he was just enough to engrave the words "The Great Business" on his face.
If he is in the pre-Qin period, he is the kind of fat meat, a big dog, and can eat one country and six counties. But now, there is no vassal state dares to make him.
Liu Hui said seriously: "I heard that my elder brother promoted Shangfang, shipbuilding, farming management in the temple, and most of the ministers dissuaded him... I discussed with the Prime Minister and prepared to gradually establish a complete Shangfang Mansion, Shipbuilding Mansion, and this farmer's experimental field in Liang State... Such industries with huge investments are probably the most suitable for Liang State."
Liu Ying frowned, "Hua, you can't be eager for quick success and instant benefits. The Liang Kingdom is now the granary of the world. If you all start to lack food, there will be problems. Disasters in the surrounding countries, temples often get food from you to provide relief..."
Hearing his brother's concern, Liu Hui grinned foolishly.
"Brother, if you don't use the food and money of Liang State, it will rot... Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it's better to help me take the initiative to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the initiative to do this. Now there are more than a thousand craftsmen in Shangfang Mansion. They are also studying various things, and there are shipbuilding workshops, and they are still building them. As for this experimental field, there are more than 800 farmers in the farmhouse. Over the years, I have made a lot of things. I'll show you the results for my brother later!"
Liu Hui proudly pulled Liu Ying to a farmland. The farmland was very strange because these crops actually floated on the water. Liu Ying couldn't help but rub his eyes, looked curiously, and was amazed, "How did this be done?"
Liu Hui called the farmer who developed this technology. The man was dressed simply and was not very respectful when he saw King Liang. He was a wanderer in the farmer. The man explained seriously: "In the marsh, use wooden stakes as a stand, select aquatic plants such as lonely roots and mix them with soil, and spread them on the stand, so that rice can be planted. I call this technology sealed... Fortunately, Liang State has a large amount of water in the southern country. Using this method, you can turn unfitable farming into tillable farming...."
Liu Ying nodded and looked at Liu Hui with a different look.
“Not bad, not bad.”
"And, brother, come!"
Liu Hui became even more proud. He pointed to the farm tools used on the farmland in the distance, "Did you see it?"
Liu Ying looked at it, but saw that there was no ox in front of the plow. Someone seemed to be riding on the plow, and then the plow began to move. Liu Ying was confused. Liu Hui smiled and explained, "Brother, this is made by my Shangfang Mansion, called the foot-pedal plow! Also, if you look carefully, the thing on the plow is called the plow mirror... It is beneficial to turn over the soil. I asked Shangfang to try three hundred shapes and finally determined that this style is the most suitable turn over the soil..."
Liu Huicai said generously: "At first, I just saw that the grain and coins in the granary were piled up and rotten, so I was going to use it. Unexpectedly, as soon as the pedal plow and these farming techniques came out, the grain in our Liang Kingdom would have more. Alas, what should I do if this rotten? I can only find a way to use it..."
"If Ruyi is here, she will have to fight with you... However, the places that should be saved must be saved."
Liu Ying was furious and didn't say much along the way, just listening to Liu Hui reporting on his achievements.
"These are all made recently. I sent the design drawings and craftsmen to Chang'an, otherwise my brother would have met... I finally know why my elder brother attaches so much importance to this Shangfang. Hahaha, this thing is indeed a great benefit to the state!"
After seeing the recent achievements of Liang State here, the two drove away from the test field.
Walking on the road, Liu Ying always had a stern face.
"Brother Hui...you did a good job...you are all very good. I knew very early on that you will all be outstanding...wow..."
Liu Ying was patting his brother's shoulder for the last moment, and said earnestly, but the next moment he vomited it out.
"Second brother?"
"I'm not in a position to do anything... some stench is nothing. Remember, as a prince, you must make your own achievements...wow..."
I don’t know how many times I vomited back and forth, Liu Ying sat in the car exhausted, her face full of decadence. She turned her head and saw Liu Hui’s smiling face, and she couldn’t help it anymore. The two brothers laughed.
"Where did this farmer find those things? Why is it so stinky... You are really right, you should let them go to Yan State!"
"Hahaha, why don't you continue to make sense?"
"Wait for me to slowly...wait for me to slowly..."
"All my father's children, except me, you are all capable. It's good, it's really good!"
...........
Chang'an is not so calm at this moment.
In the Imperial Academy, Fu Qiubo was reading a book, and a disciple rushed in hurriedly, holding a newspaper in his hand.
"Teacher! Sima's old thief..."
Fu Qiubo suddenly raised his head and glared at him. The disciple immediately changed his words, "Sima Jizhu insulted you in the Huang Lao Mansion newspaper..."
There was no surprise on Fu Qiubo's face, and he even took the newspaper happily and looked through it. The beginning of the Huang Lao newspaper was Sima Jizhu's article. Sima Jizhu had good eloquence and writing style. Previously, Fu Qiubo insulted Baijia, but Baijiabu couldn't scold him, so he buried his head and thought that nothing had happened. Sima Jizhu started directly from that article.
He wrote at the beginning of the article that Xunzi criticized the Baijiajia because he saw that the Baijiajiajia had not made any progress. As a sage, he could naturally express his views on various schools. But Fu Qiubo, you also did this. Do you think that your status has reached an equal level with Xunzi? Or do you think that the development of the Baijiajiajia is not good now? In the dynasty of the Holy Emperor, all schools are prosperous. Why do you want to deny this?
Or are you now a person like Xunzi, so you can criticize the factions at will and deny the current prosperous situation?
In the subsequent articles, he combined what Fu Qiubo did in his life and successively labeled Fu Qiubo with incompetence, sophistry, flattery, dishonestness, disloyalty, rudeness, etc., and the hats Sima Jizhu could ruin Fu Qiubo.
The disciples were so angry that they watched it, but Fu Qiubo couldn't help laughing.
"Good articles, well written, Mr. Huang also has capable people."
"Teacher, when will we go to find him?"
"What are you looking for him?"
"That's a fight back with a pen?"
Fu Qiubo shook his head, "Don't be anxious, no hurry, there must be a misunderstanding. If you go to the writer, you will say that I have no intention of arguing with Sima Jizhu. I just saw the book written by the prince and felt that there was something to improve, so I expressed my own ideas. In order to protect his disciples, Sima Jizhu openly scolded him. It was really inappropriate..."
The disciples were confused. When did their teachers change their temperament?? They were scolded like this, and they still didn't fight back??
Fu Qiubo just smiled and said, "No problem, just do as I said."
The disciple nodded and left immediately.
Fu Qiubo calmly picked up the newspaper in front of him and read it over and over again. Fu Qiubo could guess who wrote the allusions of the book with his eyes closed. He didn't understand this political matter very well, but he still had some ways to build momentum for the new book and make it quickly penetrate into people's hearts. He was studying this aspect. It was such a thing as setting the rhythm, which was the strength of a literati.
Your Majesty never does things to seek fame for himself. Your Majesty is a practical thing.
As long as the book can quickly become popular and play a role, Your Majesty will not care about the right to sign the book.
At this moment, Sima Jizhu waited hard for three or four days, but did not wait for Fu Qiubo's counterattack. Instead, because of the huge reputation of the two, this matter spread rapidly throughout the world. The literati were enthusiastic about the struggle between the two academic masters. At this time, Confucian newspapers came out, and everyone crowded to buy them. The two made great contributions to the sales of newspapers, but when these people bought the newspapers, they were disappointed.
Because Fu Qiubo did not participate in the confrontation at all, he just explained the grudge between the two because of a new book by Prince An.
Sima Jizhu felt something was wrong.
Doesn't this look like Fu Chubo's style?
Why did you explain it to me? The prince has a new book? Why don’t I know?
Sima Jizhu was also curious and did not continue to pursue. He quickly wrote to the prince to ask about the whole story.
Just when everyone thought the conflict was over, Sima Jizhu received a private letter from Fu Qiubo. There was not much content in the letter, only one sentence, "How many days are lost in a day?"
Sima Jizhu was so angry that he almost exploded. Soon, the Huang Laodi newspaper reported that Sima Jizhu's article appeared for three consecutive days. He began to attack Fu Qiubo with all his strength without leaving any room for the new book. You corrupt scholar, what qualifications do you have to comment on my disciples? What are you?!
Fu Chubo's counterattack soon appeared.
Is it not allowed others to comment on the books you write if your disciple is not good? Well, this book will be seen in Chang'an Bookstore tomorrow, and people all over the world will naturally know the good or bad!
