Chapter 571 Food is the most important thing for the people
His subordinates are useless and incompetent. If they can't get things done, they'll only add chaos if they don't talk about it.
When I met a county guard, he was a brainless idiot who insisted on taking matters to Chang'an that could have been easily suppressed.
With such people around him, Li Yunze was also scratching his head.
It can be a big or small thing to grant a king a title and leave the vassal country privately without an edict.
If the emperor Liu Qi had cut off the vassal state before, he would have taken advantage of it and gone to great lengths. He would have used this as an excuse to cut off the feudal state.
But now that it was Prince Sheng, Liu Qi, who had already defeated the Seven Kingdoms and reorganized his internal strength, would most likely be given a lighter sentence.
That is to say, send someone to scold and fine you.
It's just that Li Guang has a problem with his mind. He described the relevant events in detail in the letter, and even mentioned that Li Yunze transferred his military exploits to him. Not to mention that Li Yunze went out of the country and fought hard with the Huns.
A battle.
It would be a big event to seal the king out of the fortress.
The last king to leave the fortress was King Lu Wan of Yan.
Lu Wan went out and never came back, and became the East Hulu King of the Xiongnu.
In this era, the losers in the Huns' internal battles usually fled to the Han Dynasty.
The losers in the internal struggles of the Han Dynasty basically defected to the Huns.
Strictly speaking, this is a rectification event!
In fact, it could have been covered up, but unfortunately Li Guang had to be exposed.
With such a lack of vision, he deserves to be banned from being a marquis for the rest of his life.
Li Yunze, who had a dark face, was too lazy to talk nonsense. He took his men, horses and trophies directly, entered Shangjun, and headed east straight to Zhongshan Kingdom.
As punishment, Chang Shilang Zhao Yan was not allowed to ride a horse and had to follow him on foot.
After returning to Lunu after a long journey, Li Yunze once again distributed a batch of rewards to the accompanying sergeants, and at the same time ordered Lieutenant Wu Gang to send the pensions to the homes of the soldiers who died in the war.
As for Zhao Yan, whose legs were trembling, Li Yunze didn't let him enter the city at all, and directly asked him to settle the cattle, sheep and horses he brought back.
"If you don't take good care of it, many people will die. Then just pack up your things and find another job."
There was no way, even if the door was already close to Chi Chi, Zhao Yan could only drag his tired body and continue to work.
After going through this incident, I have finally matured a bit, at least I have the ability to talk.
No matter how others asked about this expedition, he remained silent and did not dare to say anything more.
Li Yunze, who returned to the palace, began to prepare to bring Zhong Ma, Zhong Niu and Zhong Yang from the modern world.
Bloodline genes really have special effects on livestock.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Chang'an City, Emperor Liu Qi also saw the bamboo slips sent by Li Guang.
The emperor's expression was not good-looking, because Su Ji, the mother of the newly appointed crown prince Liu Rong, was too troublesome, and the Su family's relatives were not economical lamps, and Liu Qi took great troubles.
Moreover, Liu Qi's mood was even worse when his younger sister, Princess Cheng Suji, spoke ill of the prince.
But when he opened the memorial sent by Li Guang, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Li Guang said that the Xiongnu Loufan tribe vassalized the Sanda tribe and attacked the Han caravan, but was defeated by the Han army and captured thousands of Dingkou people.
Although the emperor of the Han Dynasty kept making peace with the Xiongnu, he always wanted to defeat the Xiongnu.
Liu Bang returned without success after the Battle of Baishan Mountain. During the reign of Emperor Wen, he also fought bitterly with the Xiongnu to resist invasion.
When he arrived at Liu Qi's place, when he ascended the throne, the Huns invaded on a large scale to celebrate. At that time, Liu Qi wanted to go to the army to conquer the country himself, but was dissuaded.
The reason is very simple. There are many feudal states within the Han Dynasty. Not only can it not be a help, but it also involves a lot of national power of the Han Dynasty.
Fortunately, the Seven Kings Rebellion was quickly put down last year, and the internal constraints were almost eliminated. Finally, I was able to find the strength to look north.
"Li Guang did a good job."
Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction, feeling that although this man was not politically clear-headed, he was obviously a general in the imperial court but foolishly accepted the seal of general from King Liu Wu of Liang.
At that time, Liu Qi was so angry that even though he had achieved great success in beheading generals and capturing flags, he was not even given any reward in the end.
You must know that Liu Wu is Liu Qi’s biggest rival for the throne!
"It's a pity that he can fight so well." Recalling the past, Liu Qi also felt a little regretful. "I hope he can find his way back and be put to good use in the future."
There was a large section at the back of Li Guang's bamboo slips. Liu Qi thought it was captured in this battle, so he read it casually.
Then, he frowned as he looked at it.
'Peng!'
Liu Qi suddenly slapped the table and shouted angrily, "How brave!"
"Prince Sheng left the country privately to buy cattle from the Huns? Is the Zhongshan country so poor that he doesn't even have cattle? He also led 500 troops to defeat the Huns' thousands of cavalry? If he has this ability, how could I not know about it? He can shoot on foot before the battle.
, hold up the flag and break the formation? Haha, I laughed to death, the prince wins if so
With this ability, how could I let you join the feudal clan!"
"Li Guang, Li Guang, not only do you have no brains, you also learned to lie!"
"Call Zhang Ou into the palace!"
Tingwei Zhang Ou was confused when he entered the palace because he didn't know what the emperor wanted from him.
Things have been calm inside and outside Chang'an City recently, and the noble disciples haven't caused any major troubles. What's going on?
"Your Majesty, Zhang Ou, pays homage to your Majesty~~~"
"Take it and have a look."
Liu Qi threw Li Guang's memorial to Zhang Ou and "read it carefully."
After taking the memorial, I spread out the bamboo slips and read the words on it carefully. I dared not miss a single word.
After reading for a while, he put away the bamboo slips and saluted Liu Qi, "Your Majesty, I have finished reading."
"Go and find out." Liu Qi, who was standing with his back, immediately ordered, "Go and find out who is so bold and dares to tease me!"
"Here~~~"
Li Yunze did not know what was going on in Chang'an City. He was busy improving the national power of Zhongshan Kingdom at this time.
Cattle, sheep, horses, etc. are all kept in fenced pastures, and it takes time to thrive.
The first thing Li Yunze did was to increase farmland output.
At this time, the land in Hebei was fertile enough, and it was not as barren as it would be in later generations.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So there is no need to use your brain on chemical fertilizers, just come directly to the seeds of optimization.
It is not a hybrid that cannot reproduce like a mule, but a seed that has been carefully selected from generation to generation.
There is corn, there is wheat, and there is rice.
As for the origin, Li Yunze said that when he defeated the Sangda tribe, he captured the trophies from his tribe. Seeing that the grains were plump and in good condition, he kept them as grain. It is not known which caravan the Sangda tribe robbed from.
Plundered.
At that time, more than a thousand dendrobiums of grain were indeed seized, and Li Yunze specifically asked not to eat them. They were transported to the palace and then turned into grain when they came out.
Li Yunze plans to use these grain seeds in his own farmland.
After all, the people in Guizhou will not take risks until they see the benefits with their own eyes.
Because once there is a problem with the grain seeds and the harvest is lost, it will be fatal.
It takes three bushels of grain to plant an acre of land, and more than 1,000 hu of grain seeds can be planted on almost 5,000 acres of land.
However, the autumn harvest has passed now, so if you want to plant seeds, you have to wait until spring plowing next year.
The temperature at this time was enough to support two crops a year in Hebei, so the fields were not idle, soybeans and other overwintering crops were planted.
Soybeans are a good thing. Not only can they provide oil, but the rhizobia they leave behind can also fix nitrogen and fertilize the fields.
Soybeans, rhubarb, tea, etc. native to China are all excellent crops.
In addition to soybeans, Li Yunze also took out alfalfa seeds, the source of which was naturally the Sanda Department who could no longer explain.
These alfalfa grasses are planted in the royal palace's fields and will become an important source of feed for livestock of all sizes.
Li Yunze gathered blacksmiths from various counties, set up a general supervisor outside Lunu City, and provided stoves and other tools to make iron farm tools.
He personally held training classes for blacksmiths and taught them key technologies that were not available in this era.
For example, a three-meter-high blast furnace is built into an oval shape, and bellows are installed on both sides to increase the furnace temperature.
There is also the use of limestone in the furnace, so that the slag, that is, silica and calcium oxide, can react chemically, lowering the melting point of the slag. This also helps to reduce the sulfur content and improve the quality of the iron.
The technological improvement of the blower is the use of water discharge.
The so-called water drainage refers to water conservancy blasting equipment.
The mechanical wheel shaft is driven by water power to drive the blast bladder, which continuously expands and contracts to add oxygen to the metallurgical blast furnace.
The upgrading and transformation of these technologies have greatly improved the output and quality of Zhongshan Guojiang's supervision.
At this stage, Li Yunze's main need is iron farm tools, so it is enough to tap the iron to make farm tools.
When he needs to expand his armaments in the future, he will continue to upgrade his technology to make steel.
The word low productivity has a very realistic manifestation.
When Li Yunze visited the fields, his biggest impression was that most of the people in Zhongshan used wooden or stone agricultural tools.
It's not that they don't know how good iron farm tools are, it's just that they can't afford them.
Because Han's iron production was not high, the military took away most of the production.
There is a big man in Nuo Da, and there are tens of millions of people, and most of them are still working with primitive tools.
Whether it is bringing back large livestock from the grassland or increasing iron production on a large scale, the purpose is to improve people's work efficiency and reduce work intensity.
When plowing the land, the effect of an iron hoe and a stone hoe are completely different.
An iron hoe can turn over eight or nine inches, while a stone can only turn over two or three inches.
This is the difference between efficiency and work intensity.
The craftsmen use a piece-rate system, and are paid after passing the inspection. The more they do, the better they get, the more money they get, which naturally arouses the enthusiasm of the craftsmen.
Of course, each tool has the name and affiliation of the craftsman, so if there is a problem, you can contact him directly.
After the farm tools came out, Li Yunze did not choose to give them out for free, but chose to sell them on loans.
Just get it for free and then repay it with grain during next autumn harvest.
The most important thing is, there is no interest!
This is an act to benefit the people and enhance national strength. Charging interest is another matter.
Food is the most important thing for the people, so even if you are a time traveler, farming is the first priority.
After finishing all this, Li Yunze finally started to do some things to gain fame.
