MTL - I Built a Territory in Ancient Times-Chapter 171 Festival

Army one.

Xie Yixiu also thought of this, his face was complicated, he paused and said in a cold voice: "I regret it!"

Yes, he regretted it, regretted it long ago. I regret that I didn't see Ming Yu for the first time, and I regret that there were a lot of misunderstandings between them because of my prejudice. But fortunately, it is not too late, there is still a future between them, and there are more possibilities.

"I'm sorry!" Xie Yixiu stared at him, his eyes were thick and indissoluble.

Ming Yu laughed and teased people at first, but he was just joking. It was only when Xie Yixiu's eyes fell on him that he could see the seriousness of Xie Yixiu's sentence "I regret it" and the sadness of "I'm sorry". Xie Yixiu's thousands of words were integrated into these two sentences, and it is conceivable how much he regretted his avoidance at that time.

Ming Yu blushed and murmured: "I don't mean to blame you. You know that I don't hold grudges or anything. Although I didn't see it at the time, won't I meet later?"

God's arrangement is such a trick, two parallel lines that had no intersection between the two of them could actually come together. It is a miracle that two people with completely opposite temperaments can sympathize with each other and finally get to know each other.

The author has something to say: Stupid author: It was not arranged by God, it was me! it's me! Laugh akimbo! Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2021-02-1923:36:17~2021-02-2023:38:47~

Thanks to the little angel who threw the mine: Lan Lanzi does not eat 1 fish;

Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: Lan Lanzi does not eat fish, and Muyun 5 bottles; I am very grateful for your support to me, and I will continue to work hard!

138 Chapter 138

The convoy approached, Liu Zhifu, General Wei and others had already greeted them.

Ming Yu sorted out his clothes and got out of the car with the help of his entourage. Xie Yixiu followed behind him and walked over together.

When Liu Zhifu and the others saw Ming Yu pay homage, Ming Yu helped them up with a smile, "In these days when this king is not here, Liangzhou has worked hard for everyone."

"Where, where. These are what the ministers should wait for." Liu Zhifu responded.

Ming Yu nodded, "Isn't there anything in Liangzhou when this king is away? Is everything going according to plan? Are there any problems?"

He asked in one breath, these are the questions he has been worried about. Today, the development model of Liangzhou can be said to be unprecedented. Ming Yu planned it step by step, and it was the first time to cross the river by feeling the stones in the final implementation. There will definitely be some problems in the middle, and even if they want to learn from it, they can't find anything to learn from.

Before Ming Yu was in charge of the overall situation in Liangzhou, it was good. If there is a problem, you can come to Ming Yu immediately, so that you can find a solution to the problem at any time.

Later, when he went to the capital, everything could only be left to them. When he was in the capital, Ming Yu was worried about the situation in Liangzhou, and he just hoped that they could follow the steps without any trouble.

"Back to the prince's words, the general direction is to follow the prince's instructions, and everything is going smoothly. There are some small problems, and everyone who can solve them has also discussed and solved them. The rest I can't solve, so I can only put it down first. , everything will be decided after the prince returns." Liu Zhifu said.

Liu Zhen has been here for many years. When Ming Yu first came to Liangcheng to see him, his beard and hair were white at the age of forty or fifty. Years of worry and work made him look like he was twenty years older.

The livelihood of the people in Liangzhou is really hard. As the prefect of a prefecture, he can't improve half of them, and he is really ashamed of the people. In the past, he could only write to the court for relief as much as possible, but the relief from the court was always limited. At first, he could count on the court to allocate some money and food, but later even the court was powerless.

Over the years, the imperial court has had internal and external troubles, and it has cost money like flowing water. The treasury was also empty year by year, the emperor took the lead in tightening his clothes and food, and even military expenditures began to be reduced a lot. Where else would anyone think about the life and death of the people of Liangzhou?

Therefore, the people of Liangzhou are getting worse every year, and there are not a few people who freeze to death and starve to death every year. Not to mention that because of the thieves, the Kou family was destroyed by countless people.

This situation made Liu Zhen, a parent and official of the common people, extremely distressed, but he had nothing to think about.

Until he learned that the fourteenth prince was named Duan Wang and the land of Liangzhou, which made him relieved and brought up his heart. Liangzhou was entrusted to the fourteenth prince, and he, the prefect, became a subordinate of Duan Wang. That is to say, the prince is responsible for the big things, and the expenses and taxes of the fief are also handed over to the prince, and then according to the rules, the prince will pay a certain amount of money and goods to the court every year.

The fourteenth prince, a foolish person, Liangzhou could not rely on such a person at all. At the beginning, he only hoped that Duan Wang would not be a demon and raise taxes on the common people. It would be good to keep the status quo.

Because many kings of fiefs, in order to satisfy their lavish lives, finally had to put everything on the heads of the people.

After King Duan came, it was fine. He didn't get involved too much in the affairs of the state government, nor did he mention any new decrees, and he never even asked about the affairs of the state government. Just outside the city, a plot of land was drawn for his guard camp.

Since Duan Wang was sensible and did not point fingers, he did not increase the tax burden on the people of Liangzhou at all. Liu Zhen was naturally happy in his heart. He was really afraid that a layman like Duan Wang would mess up Liangzhou's affairs. The life of the people in Liangzhou was already difficult. If the people above were messing around, there would be no way to survive.

But I don't know when, the life of the people near Liangcheng changed. Perhaps it was King Duan's guard camp that swept away the bandits in Liangzhou. Perhaps it was King Duan's caravan who returned from business and brought back a lot of rare seeds, or perhaps it was King Duan's craftsman who visited and created many magical items. Everything is so fresh and strange.

In short, the current Liangzhou seems to be quietly changing, this is not a bad thing, everything is changing for the better. But for some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

For example, the rare seeds that Wangye brought back from the Western Regions, what is called watermelon, were bred from Wangye's mansion and distributed to designated villagers for planting.

He was shocked when he heard the news on the first day of the first day of the first year. What did Duan Wang want to do? If the people do not grow food, what will they eat in the coming year? Isn't this bullshit? Before he could go to persuade Duan Wang, he heard that Duan Wang had given these people subsidies.

That is to say, as long as the farmers who planted watermelon, they would compensate the grain and silver money according to the grain production in one season, and there would be no loss for the farmers at all.

Liu Zhen was relieved, although he knew in his heart that this was inappropriate, he did not persuade him. First, the watermelon planting area is not large, but only a few villages. Second, Duan Wang’s move is not wrong, and at least he did not cause any loss to the farmers.

However, he felt that if he saw Duan Wang, he should still mention this matter. This kind of thing can be indispensable. Farmers can still rely on crops as the main crops, and when food is grown in the fields, people will not panic.

However, when he mentioned this, King Duan didn't take it seriously, and only smiled to reassure him: he would still vigorously develop watermelons, the land in Liangzhou was barren, and the harvest of grain was not satisfactory at all. It is better to develop characteristic agricultural products and sell them to benefit the people.

He had never heard of such a word. He had also tasted this watermelon when it was cultivated in Duanwangfu. It was very sweet and delicious. But this can't be eaten as a meal, can it?

Is it just that Duanwang is sure that the watermelon can be sold? In a poor place like Liangzhou, who can't even get enough to eat, who would buy watermelon to eat? It can only be said that Duan Wang really did not understand the suffering of the people. What is the difference between what he said and why not eat minced meat?

He was still waiting to persuade him, but Ming Yu was firm and only let him not worry about this matter, he had his own measure. There is no way, the lord has decided, anyway, Duan Wang subsidized the money and grain from his own pocket, and the people were willing to plant, so he didn't say anything more.

For another example, Duanwang's craftsmanship produced strange things, and he didn't know what they were used for. But King Duan built large and small workshops outside the city, specifically for making these things in large quantities.

Since the number is large, more manpower is needed to work, so each workshop is vigorously recruiting manpower, and the conditions given are also very good. Not only can I have enough to eat every day, but I can get a lot of money and grain for a month of work, which is much more cost-effective than farming. Many people bring money and food home, which can help a lot, and the life of the family is much better.

Small and large villages around Liangcheng got the news, so many villagers and people came over, and they wanted to go to the workshop to work.

The surrounding area of ​​Liangcheng is lively and prosperous, which is also a good thing. But Liu Zhen was also worried. People all went to the workshop to work. What about the land at home?

The things produced by those workshops don't know what they are used for, but I heard from King Duan that they can be sold. However, in this area of ​​Liangzhou, there are few caravans, so where can they be sold?

For another example, the Xiqi Corridor in Duanwang’s plan said that the Xiqi Corridor would be assigned to Liangzhou and become Dayan’s territory. It is also necessary to build the Xiqi Corridor into a Silk Road leading to the Western Regions.

He also clearly understood the blueprint for the future planned by Duanwang. The rise of Xiqi Corridor is to open up the foundation for Dayan for all ages, and it is a great process that can be written down in history. But he also knows that this is a very difficult task. From his point of view, there are not many generations of people.
