Chapter 693

Chapter 693 Rice and Face

Zhang Shengren traveled to Liangzhou very quickly because he had to get to the capital city of Liangzhou before August 15th to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his core team.

In fact, there was no Mid-Autumn Festival in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, but at least in the Wei, Jin, and even the middle and late Han Dynasty, there was already the custom of admiring the moon on August 15, which was called the Duanzheng Month in the Tang Dynasty.

After all, with such a big, round and bright moon hanging in the sky, it is difficult not to be noticed.

When Zhang Zhou founded the country, the Mid-Autumn Festival was regarded as a festival that Zhang Yan strongly promoted. He even personally cooked some dizzyingly sweet and salty salted egg yolks with big fat meat, these two kinds of "dark mooncakes."

Well, when talking about darkness, it is for future generations. This kind of high-oil, high-sugar, and high-salt food is simply a health killer. Most people will tremble three times just by looking at it, not to mention eating it.

But now, this is the supreme delicacy, even in the families of officials. Except for the top wealthy families, no one will feel tired of the large amounts of sugar, oil, and salt.

From this aspect, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, ordinary people in later generations who earn several thousand yuan a month are better off than the high-ranking officials at this time.

Not to mention delicacies, ordinary people in future generations can still eat delicacies by spending hundreds or thousands of dollars.

But at this time, even if you are at Zhang Yan's level, if you want to eat big lobsters, big crabs, and big abalones, you can only spend a few months going to the beach to eat them by yourself.

One is steamed with honey fruit, one is braised with peppercorns, dogwood, etc., and the other is roasted with pepper, cumin, etc.

Therefore, many people in Guanzhong directly believe that Zhang Yan's origin should follow his great-grandfather, and he is an authentic Guanzhong child.

For the ancients who lacked fat intake, this thing is indeed a great tonic. The weight gain effect is much stronger than that of fat meat. Of course it is very tonic!

At the same time, the taste of bear paw is somewhere between beef tendons and pig trotters. It is indeed delicious when cooked properly.

He should shoulder the important task of bringing the advanced productivity and culture of the Central Plains to the Yunnan-Guizhou region where the Dali Kingdom is located.

In just three or four years, such great changes have taken place in Guanzhong. Although the increase in population is due to the return flow and the resettlement of heroes from Hexi by Zhang Yan, the cultivated land has increased by six to seven million acres, which is a real contribution.

When he entered the Central Plains, there were actually less than 1.3 million people left in Guanzhong, and only three to four million acres of cultivated land.

It was originally unbearable because of the arrogance and arrogance of relying on Zuyin. After being beaten into the mud, as long as the mind can be changed, a few talents will really emerge.

For a family like Li Congzhao, although they dare not ask for the return of his father Li Shouzhen's royal title, it is a shame for their family not to have a single title passed down to the next generation.

Even if he died suddenly and young like Guo Rong, Cao Yanxi could still save Zhang Xianjing and retreat to Guanzhong to avoid disaster.

The reason why Zhang Zhang promoted Li Congzhao so much and even put him in a sensitive area like Fengxiang Mansion was because Li Congzhao actually knew a lot about agriculture.

Unfortunately, because his father Li Maozhen was a heavyweight who could compete with Zhu Quanzhong in the late Tang Dynasty to see who was worse to the court.

However, although Li Congzhao's contribution is not small, he cannot be given a title just because of this.

Of course, it is not possible for all these lands to be allocated equally. Some families may have hundreds of acres, and some families may not have enough land per person.

Zhang Yan took the memorial but did not read it. Instead, he looked at Li Congzhao and said with a smile: "Just by looking at your expression, I know there must be good news. I won't read it. You can tell me."

Because he established the world under the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty, and before taking over the Central Plains, he also showed kindness to Guanzhong many times, which made the people of Guanzhong very fond of Zhang Yan.

Not to mention that Guanzhong Province is basically located in Guanzhong. As long as the water conservancy facilities here can keep up, it is not the kind of frontier wasteland where few grains can be harvested.

You must know that in a family, even if there are six people, there will only be about three children and elderly people. They cannot eat all the output of more than five acres of land, not to mention hunting, fishing and breeding.

There are agricultural doctors from Guanzhong all over the country, and their role is even greater than that of agricultural doctors from Hexi and Longyou, making them the best in the world.

This is what happened to brothers Li Congzhao and Li Congzhao. After being beaten and crying at the foot of Mawei slope, the two brothers fell to their knees even faster than Kang Fu.

In addition to the construction of supporting water conservancy facilities, it is simply unimaginable how much effort Cao Yuanzhong, Li Congzhao, Han E, Han Cheng and others have put in.

With an average of five acres of land per person, even now, a family can live a good life.

It looked very vulgar, but Li Congzhao on the side was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he complimented Zhang Hao enviously.

Especially in Fengxiang Prefecture, Li Congzhao understood this very well and forced a college specializing in the treatment and breeding of livestock into the prefecture. Now it can even steadily export dozens of qualified veterinarians every year.

Today, Guanzhong Province has 370,000 households, 2,047,000 people, and more than 1,170,000 acres of arable land."

And when you defeat him, he will accept the status of the loser so quickly that even the winner will be surprised.

Thanks to Li Congzhao and Han E's constant supervision in Guanzhong, production in the Guanzhong area has been greatly restored.

Li Congyao ran out of breath, and he had to thank Zhang Yan, because historically he was no longer there, and he was rushed to death.

So Zhang Yan sent someone to summon Li Congyao, and said to Li Congzhao with a smile: "You have meritorious service, and I will not treat you badly."

Together with Han E, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and an agriculturist, and Han Cheng, Han E's son and a famous agriculturist and a field doctor of the Ministry of Industry, they built water conservancy projects in Guanzhong and promoted new intercropping methods.

What a bunch of losers! Zhang Shengren was speechless.

Half of northern Shaanxi belongs to Ningxia Province, and the remaining half belongs to Shuofang Province. There are only a few one or two counties or even towns in Guanzhong Province.

"With the Xionghu generals who are comparable to Guanzhang, the four seas will be unified, and the Jin Ou will be perfect before our eyes!"

But in future generations, not to mention that eating bear paws is illegal, but in terms of efficacy, which future generation will need five fingers thick fat meat to replenish the body!

After two bites, Zhang Gao couldn't eat any more, but Guo Rong, Zhang Fei, Pan Mei, Cao Bin, Zhang Xiancun, Zhang Xianyu, and Zhang Liechao, who were around him, ate all the three little Fengjuanwanyun. It was not enough, and everyone encouraged the little black bear.

Zhang Liechao went to Li Congzhao and asked for a big fat sheep to roast and eat.

After just one taste, Zhang Yan knew why the ancients loved this stuff. It was because there was so much fat on the bear paws that it tasted like a mixture of fat and collagen.

Before Zhang Zhi could ask, Li Congyu offered up all his family property, including the gold and jade quilt belt used by his father Li Shouzhen, leaving only three to five hundred acres of land for the family to farm.

Moreover, Zhang Yan's request for Zhang Xiancun was not that he should simply become the king of Dali.

However, it is impossible for his father to personally act as a matchmaker for his son.

Even Li Congzhao, who is not too young, started as a county lieutenant in Jingzhao Chang'an Prefecture, and has now been promoted by Zhang Zhang to his hometown of Fengxiang Prefecture, where he serves as the prefect with the title of political participation in Guanzhong Province.

Of course, there are also some additions. In later generations, Pingliang and Qingyang cities belonged to Gansu Province, and Guyuan City belonged to Ningxia, which belonged to Guanzhong Province.

This actually made Zhang Yan feel embarrassed. After accepting the jewelry, classics, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, etc. that Li Congyao had presented to him in the past, Li Shouzhen collected more than 50,000 pieces of property from the Tang court.

He also gave it to Li Congzuo.

With the support of the army, wealth, and farmers, as well as the wealth that his mother's aunt Li Ruoliu had accumulated for him for more than ten years, and the retired generals that the Khotan Li family could recruit from the army, Zhang Xiang believed that Zhang Xiancun could

Crush Duan's Dali Kingdom from all aspects.

Now as long as he marries Li Congzhao's young daughter, he can immediately recruit a large number of agricultural talents who know how to farm and the veterinarians who are most lacking in the southwest.

Of course, the increase in farmland acres is so horrifying because a large part of it is due to re-cultivation or confiscation of farmland that had been lost to wealthy families.

Li Congzhao said a few words to Zhang Xi, then took out the memorial he had prepared, and then looked at Zhang Xi expectantly and said.

The world is so strange. If you don't give some people a beating, they won't know that their heads will break if they hit the south wall, and they should kill themselves when they get to Wujiang.

Zhang Xiancun should be the third big figure who played a key role in the development of the Yunnan-Guizhou region after Chu general Zhuang Qi entered Yunnan and Zhuge Wuhou of the Ji Han Dynasty ran Nanzhong.

"This is the Guanzhong household registration and land acres ordered by my minister Cheng Ping Zhang Cao Gong."

Well, in fact, veterinarians can also treat people's illnesses, which is much more reliable than taking care of people and asking wizards to perform tricks.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Li Congsuo is very old and has no other talents except for eating, drinking and having fun. He is also mediocre and has no value at all for me, Zhang Shengren, to take advantage of.

Before Kang Fu left his post as Qinzhou Xiongwu Army's envoy, Li Congyao began to show his goodwill by showing off.

When Zhang Gao entered Guanzhong for the first time, Li Congzhao followed his brother Li Congyan to gather 50,000 troops. He also wanted to intercept Hu and teach Zhang Gao a lesson. Of course, in the end, the two brothers were severely punished by Zhang Gao.

Immediately, Li Congyu hit the snake on the stick, and immediately began to regard himself as the first person to welcome the new master, and shamelessly made connections everywhere.

Zhang Hao breathed a long sigh of relief. Judging from the data, the average person in Guanzhong has a little more than five acres. People in Guanzhong can finally support themselves.

An Shuqian's daughter came to drive An Shuqian and others to raise funds for him in the Central Plains financial market.

Now Zhang Xiancun has Li Siyuan's young daughter Princess Yong'an to win over the frustrated Daibei and Hedong warriors to pacify the Dali Kingdom.

At this time, Zhang Zhou's Guanzhong Province was not equal to the later Shaanxi Province. Compared with the later Shaanxi, the Guanzhong Province in southern Shaanxi only had Shangluo Prefecture, which is Shangluo City, and the rest Hanzhong was in Sichuan and Ankang was in Hubei.

Good guy, this is ten kilograms of meat per person, not counting the meals we had before and the one or two kilograms of drinks per person.

Even if the pattern is bigger, Murong Nobunaga or Zhang Xiancun can be directly succeeded, and then continue to use Guanzhong, Hexi, and Longyou as the basic plan, the country will not be destroyed immediately.

The scene in Guanzhong that almost caused the fledgling Zhang Gao to overturn happened not long ago. Zhang Gao almost held his last breath before he persisted.

Don’t tell me, it’s quite useful!

After all, the Li Congsuo family has been the leader of a separatist regime for decades, and many of their children are talented and learned.

After he found out from the Ministry of Internal Affairs Dong Shaojian why Zhang Shengren summoned him, he immediately realized that this was the best opportunity for the Li family to turn around.

Although the 123 kilograms is the weight of a live sheep, after killing it and removing the internal organs, bones, etc., you can still get 70 kilograms of meat.

Of course, some of the top mountain treasures can still be freed. When Zhang Xian walked to Fengxiang Mansion, he received the bear paws presented by Li Congzhao, the Yin of Fengxiang Mansion. There was not just one bear paw, but three that had been pickled long ago.

But correspondingly, not everyone is a purely agricultural population.

In any case, Guanzhong's food self-sufficiency problem is guaranteed for the time being.

When Zhang Zhi entered Guanzhong, he was planning to kill Li Congyao's brother to scare the monkeys. However, as soon as he entered Chang'an City, the first person he saw was Li Congyao.

With such a basis of public opinion, Guanzhong is actually the lower limit of Zhang Gao.

Well, it's not that it can't be given. A title with only a small annuity and a reduction of title can be given, but Li Congzhao obviously doesn't want it.

Suddenly, Zhang Gao suddenly thought of who should be given the last spot among Zhang Xiancun's first and second concubines.

Zhang Yan was not as kind to Li Congzhao as he was to Li Congzhao.

In accordance with Zhang Zhang's request, fields abandoned by the war in Guanzhong were re-cultivated, and indiscriminate logging and land reclamation from rivers and lakes were prohibited, thus maintaining a certain ecological environment.

The smile on Li Congzhao's face became even wider, and he raised his voice slightly and said: "Since the Holy Emperor entered Guanzhong to quell the chaos, I have followed the Holy Emperor's will to rest with the people in Guanzhong Province and reward farming and weaving.

This is very good news for Zhang Yan.

These seven guys not only ate all the delicacies specially prepared by Li Congzhao, but also ate a very large fat sheep weighing 120 to 30 pounds.

At that time, the Central Plains was in turmoil and he had no time to look west. Meng Chang sent Sun Hanshao to attack the pass and surrounded Fengxiang from all sides. Li Congzuo yelled at Tiantian not to respond, and the earth and the earth were ineffective. He was so angry that he died of cerebral hemorrhage in the so-called Prince Qin's palace.

Anyway, no matter what others say, people in Guanzhong think that Zhang Shengren is from Guanzhong.

What's more, Zhang Yichao, Zhang Yi's great-grandfather, lived in Chang'an for more than ten years and was finally buried in Xianyang.

"This is all your great contribution!" Zhang Hao admired sincerely.

This Li Congzhao is none other than the son of Li Maozhen, from the Li family of Fengxiang Prefecture.

But for another person, let alone re-cultivation, which still requires a lot of energy, even digging up the hidden property of the rich, ordinary people cannot do it.

Zhang Yan also knew what Li Congzhao, who looked at him with hopeful eyes, wanted. He wanted a hereditary and irreplaceable title.

After understanding the responsibilities that Zhang Xiancun should shoulder, Zhang Xi became more convinced of his decision to let Zhang Xiancun marry Li Congzhao's youngest daughter.

With such an ability, let alone the fact that he once stabbed Zhang Yan in the back, but in the end failed to gain the upper hand, even if the backstabbing was successful, Zhang Yan would not hesitate to forgive him.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Congyao hurried over.

But in this time and space, Li Congyao, who had completely lost his power, was eating well and sleeping well. He should have died two years ago, but he became more energetic.

With a solid Guanzhong, plus the basic base of Hexi and Longyou, even if there is a big problem, Zhang Zhou can still appear as a larger version of Qin.

Li Congyao, who was here under the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty and Zhang Zhou, had to use all his strength and shamelessness to avoid a fatal disaster.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, why not hurry up!

Li Congyao even asked Shaojian Dong without hesitation if he could marry his daughter as a concubine according to the ancient Zhou rites.

This shamelessness embarrassed Mr. Dong, who originally thought he was very thick-skinned.
