Hanzhong!
When Li Xiang's chariot arrived in Yizhou, Yizhou governor Zhuge Liang and acting governor Wang Jian had already rushed from Chengdu to Hanzhong to pick him up.
However, Yizhou governor Zhuge Liang and acting governor Wang Jian were destined to be in vain, because Li Xiang had already been a simple man and only led a small team of experts, disguised and dressed in civilian clothes, just like Emperor Kangxi's private visit in disguise.
, in this way we can better understand the sentiments of the people.
If he rode a tall horse and led tens of thousands of guards through the streets, even though he looked majestic, he would definitely not be able to get any valuable clues.
In fact, the main purpose of the inspection is to understand the current situation in Yizhou, not to show one's prestige.
Li Xiang walked to an important city in Yizhou, and his expression became a little solemn.
It is known in history as "Yang Yi Yi Er"!
Although the economic center of gravity at this time has not yet moved south, Yizhou's Fushu can definitely be ranked at the forefront. In the original Three Kingdoms era, the Shu Han was able to compete with Cao Wei with the power of one place, which has already been explained in itself.
many problems.
I didn't see many pedestrians along the way, and even those I did see were all sallow and thin, with ragged clothes, almost like beggars.
Is this the famous Land of Abundance in history? Those historians must have made a mistake!
When those people saw Li Xiang dressed in rich clothes, they were like a mouse seeing a cat. There was fear and resentment in their eyes, and they walked forward without looking back. Even if they wanted to find someone to inquire about the information, they could not find him.
.
This is the first time that Li Xiang has seen someone so hostile to the rich, and he has learned a lot. It seems that the gap between the rich and the poor in Yizhou is huge!
"Zhongsi, go find someone and ask what's going on in Yizhou now? I'll wait for you in the restaurant in front." Li Xiang said, his stern eyes falling on the restaurant a few meters away.
Wang Zhongsi bowed and said, "Yes, Young Master!"
After all, we were on tour incognito, so of course we had to change the name.
Li Xiang entered the restaurant and saw that there was no one inside. It could be described as empty.
There was an old man with gray hair at the front desk. His face showed a bit of fatigue and he kept opening his mouth to yawn. It seemed that he didn't sleep well last night.
There was only one short, thin waiter in the store, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he looked listless.
After Li Xiang sat down, the waiter walked over slowly and glanced at him.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" the waiter asked softly.
Li Xiang smiled and said: "What do you have in this little shop? Recommend some dishes to me."
"There are no dishes, only Yangchun noodles, do you want them?" the waiter said indifferently.
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment. There was only Yangchun noodles in a restaurant. Is this a joke?
"Sorry, I just want to eat something else." Li Xiang said politely, feeling a little weird in his heart.
"Then let's go eat somewhere else, sir!" The waiter gave the order to expel the guests and turned around to leave.
"Brother, what happened to Yizhou City? Why does it look like an abandoned city all the way?" Li Xiang stood up and asked.
When the waiter was about to speak, he was glared at by the old man at the front desk. He was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth and turned around to go to the back hall.
"Boss, let's have two bowls of Yangchun noodles. I have a friend coming for dinner later," Li Xiang said. He decided to stay here and try to find out some information about Yizhou from the mouths of the old man and the young man.
When Li Xiang was born, he was accompanied by many guards and several strong generals, including the two personal guard generals Xing Tian and Dian Wei.
However, these people were hiding in the dark for the time being and did not follow Li Xiang blatantly.
"Then wait a moment!" the old man said, and walked to the back hall tremblingly.
Could it be that this old man is a restaurant owner and chef?
This restaurant looks quite impressive from the outside, but according to the hotel rating, it is still a three-star hotel. A hotel of this level has actually fallen into such a state of decline.
He got up and walked to the back hall. Sure enough, as Li Xiang thought, the old man was down there and the waiter was adding firewood to the stove. The huge kitchen looked very deserted.
Li Xiang turned back to the lobby and saw Wang Zhongsi coming in from the outside. The answer he brought seemed to be reasonable.
No matter how rich and garrisoned Yizhou is, it can't withstand the continuous wars here. Of course, who has anything to do with Liu Che's own character? Liu Che's ability is strong, but when it comes to militancy, he is really militia, and he has worked hard to farm for so many years.
, but it came to nothing within a few years!
Although Liu Che had been farming in the early stage, when it came time to mobilize troops, he would not move troops, but once he mobilized troops, he would mobilize troops for several years.
From the time he started sending troops to the Southern Barbarians, he almost never stopped.
First, he sent troops to the Southern Barbarians, then to conquer Xiang Yu, and then to the long-term confrontation with Zhu Yuanzhang. In the meantime, he also sent a large number of troops to help Liu Xiu fight the Battle of Jingbei.
After these successive battles, no matter how much wealth Liu Che had accumulated before, it was still severely depleted.
Moreover, Yizhou still maintains such a large force, which in itself is a huge logistical pressure. After the Jin army's battle to conquer Shu, Liu Che had already begun to feel overwhelmed.
Bian has been struggling to support himself.
Moreover, not only Liu Che, but after the Shu army invaded the middle of Shu, it was definitely impossible to hand over all the logistics to the rear. Part of the logistics was therefore able to provide food to the enemy. From the Yizhou territory they captured, the local
Collect food and grass.
And if the Jin army collected grain and grass from the local area, where did the grain and grass come from? Of course, it was collected from the hands of the people! Although the Jin army could also seize some of the Shu army's grain and grass, it did not do so every time they broke into a city.
If there is such an opportunity, many Yizhou generals will light the granaries in time before the city is broken. Even if they are not good, they will never let the Jin army do well.
There were also some aristocratic families who took the initiative to donate grain and grass to the Jin army in order to show their courtesy. Although their grain and grass were indeed part of their own, a considerable part was also stolen from the hands of the common people.
Therefore, Yizhou, which was originally a land of abundance, was actually not easy at this time.
After Zhuge Liang took office as governor, he tried his best to deal with it, but after all, he had only been in office for a short time, and many issues had just begun to be sorted out.
After truly seeing the situation in Yizhou, Li Xiang became more and more interested in the place and wanted to find a way to restore it in the shortest possible time.
And when Li Xiang arrived in Yizhou, many senior leaders of Nanman who had received the news had gathered together.
