As for the rest who don’t believe it, it’s because the road from Yongchang is too difficult and dangerous. If you come from there, you will not be close to death, but you will lose half of your life. That is definitely not an exaggeration.
But now they were outside Pingyi County, and there were only a few people on the other side, so he wasn't worried.
"Thank you very much! May I ask if Governor Li is in the city at this time?"
"I don't know about this. If you have something to do, you can go to the city gate and identify yourself. I hope someone will take you to see the person in charge of the city."
After the visitor thanked him, he turned around and glanced at the Liao Man who were silently eating food from a place where no one could see him, showing a hint of sadness.
"Brother Eleven, Governor Li led his troops to the south. Everyone knows this. Why didn't you tell him clearly?"
After those people continued to walk towards the front city gate, someone finally asked.
"What do you know? Where has Governor Li gone? That's not what we can say? They all carry weapons. They are not kind people at first glance. Who dares to say this to them before their identities are determined?"
?”
Wang Ping had just finished inspecting the surrounding city gates and had just returned to the Governor's Mansion when he suddenly saw soldiers coming from below to report that the prince and his wife of Yongchang County in the south had sent people to cross the rebel territory and came to see Governor Li.
.
"What?"
Wang Ping suddenly stood up, "How can someone in Yongchang survive? How many people are here?"
"Go back to the general, five people are here."
Wang Ping took a few steps back and forth and said excitedly, "This is great. This year, Yongchang County has been unable to find out the news. I didn't expect that today we can send envoys with news. Call them in quickly."
"promise."
The soldier responded, and just as he turned around and walked to the door, Wang Ping suddenly shouted again, "Wait a minute!"
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Did they bring any tokens?"
"Back to General, their leader said that they can only give the token to Governor Li after meeting him."
Wang Ping nodded, he understood the caution of these people.
However, he also had his own caution, and immediately ordered, "In that case, I won't see them. Take them down and make good arrangements. Remember, no outsiders are allowed to see them before Governor Li comes back."
"As commanded."
Wang Ping thought for a while and sent someone to take his message south to deliver it to Li Hui.
May is the wheat harvest season.
On the edge of Dujiangyan, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan, who joined the army from the Prime Minister's Office, were standing on the ground, looking at the waves of golden wheat and the farmers harvesting wheat. A satisfied smile appeared on his usually serious face.
Not far behind them, soldiers were on guard around them, preventing anyone from approaching without warning.
"Last winter, the Prime Minister ordered all the newly cultivated land in Dujiangyan to be planted with wheat. The ministers and ministers in the court and some people privately discussed that it would be inappropriate not to plant millet. At this time, it seems that the Prime Minister's move
, it’s the wonder of achieving many things in one fell swoop.”
Jiang Wan looked at the scene of the harvest and felt extremely happy, and couldn't help but say aloud.
"Oh, where did Gong Yan come from?"
Zhuge Liang was uncharacteristically looking at the scene in front of him greedily, reluctant to move away, and spoke.
"The summer grain produced in these fields can be considered a bumper harvest. If autumn grain is harvested again, I am afraid that next year the prime minister will have a big event, and there will be no need to worry about food. Is this considered a gain?"
"Have a great harvest, have a great harvest!"
Zhuge Liang felt so excited and couldn't help laughing.
Wheat already produces more than millet, and with deep plowing, more can be harvested.
Last year everyone said that Sichuan was ripe for harvest, but they didn’t expect that this year’s grain harvest would be much greater than last year’s. Isn’t this a bumper harvest?
"What's the second thing? If you grind the wheat into powder, make it into dry food and sell it, you will get a lot more money than if you just sell the grain. This can be regarded as saving food and saving money. Is it a double benefit?"
"Forget it, of course!"
Zhuge Liang twitched his beard and smiled. At this time, he could no longer care about maintaining his majesty as a prime minister.
"Is there a third one..."
Jiang Wan pointed to the south and then to the north, "The people who moved to the south are actually implementing the policy of Hanzhong. Before the court can take action, this militia will probably help the court to do half of the work. Wheat is ground into flour.
Dry food is a huge contribution!"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Not bad."
As he spoke, he sighed with emotion, "Last year, the military rations in Hanzhong were insufficient, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night! But just one year later, we suddenly had so much food, and I still couldn't sleep at night.
…”
"Why?"
Jiang Wan asked curiously.
Zhuge Liang pointed at the scene in front of him, "I'm afraid it's just like a dream, it disappears as soon as I close my eyes and then open them again, so don't I have to stand here and watch it all the time?"
"Hahaha……"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Feng Yong, this son, is really not simple!"
Jiang Wan finished laughing and sighed, "Even Wan admires him a little. It's a blessing to have him in the Han Dynasty!"
Zhuge Liang nodded, "After he has tempered himself in the future, he becomes more stable and becomes a great farmer, then no one will be able to fault him."
Da Si Nong, one of the Nine Qings, has two thousand stones, controls all kinds of money, grain, gold and silk, and is in charge of the country's farming affairs.
Jiang Wan exclaimed, with the Prime Minister's cautious, fair and strict character, to be able to say such words mixed with personal feelings, he really valued Feng Yong greatly.
It can even be said that if the Prime Minister can wait until the day when Feng Yong is truly "steady", then this position will definitely belong to him.
"Wan congratulates the Prime Minister on recruiting another talented person for the Han Dynasty!"
Jiang Wan cupped his hands and congratulated.
"It's just that it's too early to say this now!"
When Zhuge Liang mentioned this topic and thought of a certain naughty boy, his face darkened slightly and he felt a little depressed.
Some people love money, some like fame, some are lustful, but everyone has their own interests.
But this guy is young, but his temperament is always unpredictable.
He doesn't love money, he only likes to spread it.
Even if it is millions of dollars, it is not something that ordinary people can do.
The newly produced dry food can now be regarded as a considerable source of income for the imperial court.
And the method of making dry food is not what he dedicated?
Besides, the large amount of chickens needed for the dry food can only be obtained by his chicken-wishing technique.
Guan Zhang and other companies have made a lot of money because of this.
As for reputation, let alone it.
I even gave him the name of a young hero, but he actually refused to work in my prime minister's house. It's outrageous!
The only thing that is possible right now is beauty.
But the beauties from the sixth room of the Li family were delivered to the door, and he didn't even want to eat?
At his age, when he is full of energy and cannot control himself, it is rare for him to be able to control himself in front of a beauty like Li Mu.
Even if you are lustful, if you are not tempted by beauty, lustfulness is not a weakness.
But fortunately, my Xijun asked Guan Ji to go to Hanzhong with him.
It seems that marrying Xijun is still very important.
Well, there is also the little lady from the Zhang family...
Zhuge Liang secretly cursed, if this kid is as slippery as me in the future, I wonder how I can let you have two women fighting for a husband. If I can't catch you, why can't I still torture you? Finally, I will make another trick.
