"It's not that I have confidence, it's that I have confidence in the Prime Minister."
Feng Yong also smiled, pointed to the north, and said, "Two years ago, the Han Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and people were in panic. In addition, the bandits were extremely arrogant, and the Han Dynasty was still safe and sound."
Then he pointed to the east and said, "Now that Sun Wu has become an ally, the rebels in the south are just clowns. As for the north, they couldn't enter Hanzhong two years ago, and they will have no chance two years later."
"So Liu Langjun doesn't have to worry about Hanzhong. As long as nothing happens in Hanzhong, there will definitely be no problem with Hanzhong's income."
"That's the truth." Adou listened and nodded, "It's just that I heard that Nanzhong is a barren land and full of miasma. Someone once said that Nanzhong only needs to send a general to pacify it.
, there is no need for the Prime Minister to go there in person, what do you think of Feng Langjun?"
"There is some truth to this statement, but I still think it would be better for the Prime Minister to go there in person."
"Why?"
Adou turned sideways and looked at Feng Yong seriously. It could be seen that he was very concerned about this issue.
"The safety of the Han Dynasty depends on the Prime Minister. Jincheng is the heart of the Han Dynasty, but Nanzhong is just a place of plague. Since sending a general can quell the chaos, the Prime Minister wants to leave Jincheng and go south. This is not..."
Adou hesitated for a moment and couldn't think of any words to express it. Finally he had to say, "I always feel that something is not appropriate."
Although the prime minister said that he had already made arrangements for Hanzhong and Jincheng, and although Feng Mingwen in front of him also said that there was no need to worry about Hanzhong, from the beginning of becoming the emperor to the present, not only himself, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but also the entire Han Dynasty have been
He has always been under the protection of his father-in-law.
When I first ascended the throne, I would have nightmares from time to time even when I slept at night. I was afraid that when I woke up in the morning, there would be news outside that enemy invaders had broken through the various passes in central Sichuan and were heading towards Jincheng.
The man relied on his father-in-law to survive the most difficult time. Now that his father-in-law was suddenly leaving Jincheng, he felt as if he had lost support and was a little at a loss.
Only then did I realize that I was already dependent on my father-in-law.
So since sending a general can pacify Nanzhong, why would Xiangfu go there in person? Wouldn't it be good to stay in Jincheng?
As long as the prime minister doesn't keep his own income in Hanzhong, he can let the prime minister take care of the affairs of the government if he wants. It's not a big deal - he can't take care of it anyway.
"It only takes one general to pacify Nanzhong, but to convince the barbarians and prevent such a big rebellion from happening in Nanzhong is not something that a single general can do. I'm afraid it has to be the prime minister."
Yes, after the old demon Zhuge pacified Nanzhong, there were still rebellions in Nanzhong from time to time, but they were no longer serious and could only be regarded as minor chaos and could not affect the overall situation.
Thousands and hundreds of years later, the land of Nanzhong is still called "Grandpa Zhuge". This kind of influence is not something ordinary people can achieve.
"What do you mean by Feng Langjun?"
"Liu Langjun, it is easy to pacify Nanzhong, but it is difficult to pacify Nanzhong! There have been frequent rebellions in Nanzhong before. If only one general is sent this time, it will be peaceful. But in one year or three years, Nanzhong will be defeated.
What will happen if another rebellion breaks out in China? Do we have to send another army to quell it?"
Feng Yong could tell from Adou's look and words that he also preferred the Prime Minister to stay in Jincheng, so he had to explain to him in detail, "Repeating this over and over again is a real waste of money and food."
"And the Prime Minister went there in person this time because he planned to complete his victory in one battle. Therefore, after pacifying the situation, he had to reassure the barbarians so that they would no longer rebel."
"So although it is a bit more troublesome this time, it will leave no further trouble. In the future, the court will no longer have to worry about the climate of the barbarians in Nanzhong. Don't you think this is a great deal?"
"That's what I said." Adou nodded and said, "The Prime Minister also said similar words to me, but..."
After pondering for a while, he looked at Feng Yong in confusion, "But Feng Langjun also said that the Nanzhong rebellion has never stopped since the beginning of the Han Dynasty. Even General Ma Yuan failed to completely put it down. How can the Prime Minister do anything?
So confident?"
Huh? That’s a good question!
Feng Tubao's eyes lit up, and he remembered what Zhuge Lao Yao had said to him, asking him to find a way to rebuild Nanzhong as soon as possible after the war.
The Adou in front of me has no rights, but he has a name!
No, you have to fool me.
"Your Majesty...oh, no, Liu Langjun, I just felt that what we said was wrong."
As soon as Feng Tubao was happy, he called out the word "Your Majesty" and quickly changed his words.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the chubby Adou's puzzled expression, he had a sense of honesty and honesty, which made Feng Tubiao feel a little bit unbearable, but he quickly strangled him to death, all for the sake of the big man!
"Nanzhong, it is not a barren land, it is a treasure land."
"Treasure land?"
Adou obviously didn't understand what Feng Yong said.
"Yes, it is a treasure."
Feng Yong moved his body, got closer to Adou, lowered his voice and said, "You can grow treasures there."
"baby?!"
Adou's eyes lit up and his breathing became a little faster, "What baby?"
"Liu Langjun, do you remember the native stone honey that Sun Wu sent over?"
"Shi Mi? Of course you remember."
A Dou licked his lips and felt a slight secretion of fluid in his mouth.
This stone honey is so delicious, it's so sweet that it's sweet to the core.
However, that thing is so rare.
You can only eat it when winter is approaching, and the food doesn’t last long.
More importantly, only Sun Wu has that thing.
"Liu Langjun, does he know what the stone honey is made of?"
"Of course I know it's a kind of sugar cane. The year before last, Sun Wu used that kind of thing to fool me. If the Prime Minister's wife hadn't known about it, I'd probably have made them a joke."
"Yes, it's sugar cane. I heard that such things can only be found in Jiaozhou. But Liu Langjun doesn't know something. This sugar cane likes heat and humidity, and it can also be grown in Nanzhong."
"Also," Feng Yong came closer, with a mysterious look on his face, "I happen to know how to make malt sugar from sugar cane, which is sweeter and more delicious than that stone honey."
"really?!"
Adou's small eyes, which were narrow due to his fat face, worked hard to open wide, and there was a faint trace of water on the corner of his mouth. He sucked hard and then said, "Sweeter than stone honey?"
Feng Yong nodded and continued, "That kind of Yitang, I call it brown sugar, is in the form of lumps, just like the dry food in the army. If you store it carefully, it will not go bad for a year. It is not as easy to preserve as stone honey.
"
"Isn't it possible to eat till the end of the year?"
Adou blurted out.
"If sugar cane can be grown in Nanzhong, it won't hurt to eat it till you get tired of it."
When Feng Yong saw Adou like this, he immediately spoke up.
"Liu Langjun, think about it, after the Prime Minister pacified Nanzhong, if we could provide some money and food and ask the officials to help me plant this kind of thing. Now that the officials have a safe place to live and don't have to worry about food and clothing, how can they be rebellious again?
?And we use the sugar cane they grow to make brown sugar..."
"Liu Langjun, this brown sugar is a treasure in the world!" Feng Tibi said with a bewitching tone, "We are the only ones in the world. If we sell this, it is impossible to say that it will be more profitable than Maofu! There will be no more rebellion in Nanzhong.
Even the Prime Minister will be satisfied. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
Adou stared straight ahead, not knowing what he was looking at. There was no focus in his eyes. He seemed to have been immersed in the beautiful scenery described by Feng Tubian, and a little sparkle seemed to overflow from the corners of his mouth...
