Royal Road - Chapter 249

[Chapter 248 | City]

Bingzhou did not hold a Yuan meeting last year.

Sima Teng abandoned the state and fled, leaving Jinyang alone under the iron hooves of the Huns.

Who still has the heart to hold a New Year’s party?

In addition, last year’s Zhengdan solar eclipse added a lot of bad luck to this year.

However, on the first day of this year, Jinyang completely changed his appearance.

Early in the morning, before the scorched smell of firecrackers had completely dissipated, the lobby of the Governor’s Mansion was filled with guests and friends.

After the drum music was played, the officials offered their worship.

Today, from the six prefectures of Bingzhou, five guardian ministers came.

These two thousand stone officials, facing the people in the seat, still respectfully offered wine to celebrate the New Year.

Shangdang Prefect Cui Ji, Leping Nei Shi Wenqiao, Taiyuan Commander Ge Hong, Xinxing Prefect Xu Xian, and newly appointed Yanmen Prefect Guo Xing were all promoted by Liang Feng.

In just a short year, except for the Xihe Kingdom, the four borders of Bingzhou have not been restored, which is truly a shocking move.

In the middle of the lobby, Liang Feng, dressed in a blue court dress, sat upright.

This is the spring clothes in the five o’clock court clothes, and the color is much brighter than the black court clothes in winter, which makes his face more like a crown jade.

However, with the crown of sage on his head and the silver-printed blue ribbon around his waist, he added a great majesty to that beautiful and flawless face.

Wen Qiao finished drinking the cup of Jiaobai wine, and said loudly: “Last year, Leping gave five thousand households, reclaimed a thousand hectares of wasteland, and set up 2,000 troops. I am in Sanyuan, and I would like to congratulate the envoy.” Yuanhui of Bingzhou

, Not quite the same as elsewhere.

In addition to the Lunar New Year, the governors of the prefectures are also required to report the year’s political achievements.

Wen Qiao’s achievements this year are not small, and the report is also very loud.

Liang Feng nodded: “Under Taizhen’s rule, Antai, the people are happy to live, they are really talented. This year, Leping should add more troops to prepare for foreign enemies.”

Wen Qiao’s heart froze when he heard this.

This was the first time Liang Shijun pointed out the tension with Youzhou.

After all, the country of Leping last year was still in the rear to defend against the Huns, developing agriculture and reclaiming the wasteland.

However, once he had a bad relationship with Youzhou, Leping turned from the rear to the front line, and he might have the responsibility of defending the land.

But what was in his heart was never revealed on his face, Wen Qiao respectfully returned the salute: “Xiaguan understands.”

He has also been familiar with military books since he was a child, and now other prefects of Bingzhou have experienced fierce battles.

People like Ge Hong still have a military rank.

He is young and vigorous, and naturally does not want to be left behind.

Moreover, Wen Qiao also disliked Wang Jun a little.

Concubine Chengsi was the next best thing. Wang Jun was a ruthless and immoral man. Back then, he joined forces with Empress Jia to murder Prince Minghuai, which caused the kingdom to lose its crown prince.

This alone is enough to make many people of insight cut off relations with him.

As for things like marrying a daughter to a Xianbei person, it is even more eye-catching.

Now that Wang Jun is entrenched in Youzhou, he has posed a threat to Bingzhou.

If there is a battle to be fought, he is not afraid.

Backing aside, Wen Qiao watched others congratulate him.

However, after listening carefully, even he was amazed.

Last year, there were 30,000 new households in Bingzhou, and thousands of acres of wasteland were reclaimed.

This number, placed in the Taikang period, is also extremely astonishing, not to mention the current troubled times.

The population that Sima Teng took away back then not only made up all of them, but also greatly increased.

The efficiency of land reclamation is even more astounding.

And such a large-scale shelter of refugees did not disturb the state and county!

If he hadn’t ruled the Leping Kingdom with his own hands, even if he heard about it, he wouldn’t believe it.

It is really a work-for-relief scheme, which is the easiest way to bring peace to the people.

As long as they spend the same amount of money as ordinary relief, the refugees can reclaim the land.

Building roads, building water conservancy, building Wubao, even women and children can raise livestock, weave and spin yarn.

Every manpower is used to the extreme.

But this kind of hard work did not make the people feel cold.

On the contrary, each of them knew that what they had done so desperately was to settle down in the future.

Turn the refugees who are feared by everyone into good people under the rule.

Such a method is called shocking.

If Liang Shijun takes office, I am afraid that this troubled world will be quickly pacified.

Wen Qiao was born in Gaomen since he was a child, and all the people he has met are the top-notch romantic characters.

There are six people in his family, and they are called “six dragons”, and each of them has their own talents.

But who can be like Liang Shijun?

Just the actions of the emperor can make people see the Duke Liang who was known as “the most capable minister in the world” back then.

Even more than that.

And such a large-scale Tunna population brings out another astonishing fact.

This Liang Zixi really has the ability of Guan Zhong and Fan Li!

There is a shortage of food in Bingzhou.

After all, the army has been in chaos for years, and the court has never given much food.

Such a doubling of the population will inevitably bring great pressure on the finances.

But Bingzhou was not stretched because of this, because Liang Shijun opened up two ways to make money.

One is coal.

The coal used only by villages in the mountains at that time has become a heating material for every household in Bingzhou.

After a year of exploration, three coalfields have emerged, and Leping occupies one of them.

Just the coal shipped from the mines is countless.

These are still decimals, and the larger sales volume is in Ruican!

This thing comes from coal and looks like charcoal, but the smoke is thin, flameless and shiny.

What is even more rare is that the heat is amazing, and it does not go out for a long time.

Once launched, it immediately became the favorite of the dignitaries.

However, the method of making this thing is strictly confidential and cannot be explored by outsiders.

Therefore, the price of Swiss charcoal has also risen steadily, which has changed a lot of grain, grass and silver.

And this charcoal, but also with a new furnace.

The shape is different from the charcoal basin. Most of them are made of copper and iron.

At the same time, the charcoal stove is equipped with a flue, which can discharge charcoal poison.

As long as you use it properly, you can avoid the sudden death of burning charcoal in winter.

Rui charcoal has been bought, and it is not reasonable to buy a few more charcoal stoves?

As a result, it is a large amount of income.

And this led to the second transaction, iron.

Shangdang has been producing iron since ancient times, and although the mines were controlled by the imperial court, private iron merchants still emerged one after another.

But no one has ever produced such an output like Liang Shijun.

Today, the agricultural tools used in Bingzhou reclamation are all iron tools.

This alone made Guan Tian more than doubled.

Swords are more than everything, but the arrows carried by the archers in Bingzhou are more than three times that of others.

Even the well-selling charcoal stove is said to be inexpensive to manufacture.

There is also the cloth business, which is gradually picking up.

Originally, Jizhou and Yanzhou were big weavers.

But the years of war and chaos have lost its former glory.

In Bingzhou, the fleeing weavers were gathered up and started a weaving factory.

In just a short period of time, the pattern and dyeing of the cloth have made great progress, and it seems that the spinning loom has also changed.

Nowadays, grain is expensive and money is cheap, which cannot be offset, and most of the transactions in the market are made of silk.

If it can be twice as fast as other people weaving silk, how much food is it?

It’s just these few things, it’s an extremely scary number.

What’s more, the Liang Mansion is also in charge of the trade of white porcelain, colored glass, salt and other items.

Therefore, even if Bingzhou swallowed the refugees, it did not really give birth to fatigue.

In troubled times, people are the root of everything.

As long as the cultivated wasteland is harvested, why worry about the unrest in the prefecture?

Listening to the recitation of that sentence by sentence, Wen Qiao only felt convincing.

Such a capable minister is the one who should be his assistant!

Looking at Guo Xing, the prefect of Yanmen, who was sitting beside him, Wen Qiao couldn’t help showing a faint smile.

It seems that what the emperor wants to reuse is not Guo Tong’s lineage, but another Shuzong.

It’s a pity that Guo Tong put on such a big air, but he couldn’t see the current situation clearly.

Is Bingzhou still what it used to be?

The Gaomen are separated, and now he has a strong army, money and grain power, and Liang Shijun, who also serves as the governor, is the head of this state!

It is a pity that General Yi was alienated by the imperial court and went to Jizhou.

Just look at how this year’s war of seclusion will look like.

Thinking of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Wen Qiao’s body became more straight.

A high-spirited young man, who wouldn’t want to make a contribution?

Yuanhui, in accordance with the usual practice, held an official banquet after offering congratulations, which did not end until the evening.

But after the foreign officials met, there was also the retainer Xiao He.

“My son, I wish you good health and longevity!” Liang Rong raised his glass in earnest to congratulate his grandfather on his birthday.

Rao was tired for a day, and Liang Feng also showed a smile: “Rong’er is also in peace every year.”

Unlike the official banquet, all those who came were people who called themselves “Langzhu” or “Lord”.

Only this year, a few more days.

“Zhichuan, is there any use for the microscope that came out of the workshop?” Liang Feng turned to Ge Hong and said.

Even if he is not very good at human-travel relations, Ge Hong’s eyes still light up when he mentions the microscope: “This mirror is really exquisite, and it can see tiny things. I have already observed a lot of vegetation worms with Ji En. Buddhist Sumeru mustard seeds. I mean, there’s something to be said for it!”

Although Ge Hong had been by his side for a long time, calling him the master was a recent thing.

However, Liang Feng felt that what really moved Ge Hong was the establishment of the concept of creation.

This Taoist temple is different from the Wynn Temple. It is not so much a religious place as it is a research institution.

Not only continued the research in the Shangdang concept, but also raised the idea of “three living things” to the highest level.

Here, biology, chemistry, astronomy, physics, and even medical research will be carried out one after another.

In fact, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was the peak of exploration and discovery.

Coupled with the decline of Confucianism and the prosperity of Lao Zhuang and Zhuang, the study of “Tao” and nature has become more acceptable.

Liang Feng did not directly create schools, but incorporated them into religion.

Taoist thought has a tendency to explore the world, so Taoists are keen on alchemy and want to use human power to conquer the sky.

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Taoist system had not yet been fully developed. What if the “dao” was changed?

And Ge Hong is the most suitable candidate.

A being that opens the door to natural science.

Such an idea was something Ge Hong had never thought of.

More importantly, he originally thought that the emperor believed in Buddhism, but was only interested in alchemy.

Who would have thought that Liang Feng’s positioning of the concept of creation is completely different from that of Huai’en Temple.

If you enter this way, you can also be an official!

Where is this Buddha?

Obviously still serious!

With the microscope, there are endless ideas, and there is a new Taoism that represents the meaning of life and creation.

Ge Hong finally lowered his head.

What he asked for, everyone in front of him could achieve.

Whether it’s a living person or a seeker.

There is a person who knows this, what more can I ask for?

And if this person can ascend to a higher position?

Because of these ideas, Ge Hong was less resistant to even Buddhism.

And Xumi mustard’s confirmation made him feel a little bit more emotional.

It turns out that all things in the world are interconnected!

Seeing that Ge Hong was fascinated, he wanted to discuss it carefully.

Duan Qin interrupted with a smile: “The microscope is the next best thing. This year, the palace has forged a hundred treasured swords, all of which are a hundred refinements!”

This number is staggering.

At that time, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu competed to make knives. Cao Cao made five hundred swords, Sun Quan made three swords, and Pu Yuan forged seventy-two knives for Liu Bang.

Even strength can be measured from the number of swords forged.

However, swords of fifty or even seventy-two refinements are common, but hundreds of refinements are really rare.

However, the Liang Mansion produced a hundred hundred refining knives in one breath, and just the number was an overwhelming victory.

And on this, the credit of hydraulic hammer forging is indispensable.

After the giant waterwheel was used for blasting, grinding and hammering, the function of wrought iron was added.

Such simple mechanical energy greatly reduces manpower consumption and makes it possible to achieve things that could not be easily accomplished.

Out of knives, armor-making has also reached a new level. Now it takes half a month to make a breastplate without a few craftsmen hammering it. Although the real plate armor cannot be made, the time and cost have been reduced too much. .

In fact, technology is sometimes just a matter of poking a window.

Liang Feng doesn’t know much, but when he provides ideas, there are naturally skilled craftsmen for him.

Cui Ji also said: “Shangdang has also made a lot of profit from tea and salt this year. There is also border trade. If the Tuoba clan wins Wang Pengzu, there will be no shortage of horses, cattle and sheep this year.”

The battle between the Tuoba clan and Youzhou Still going.

In fact, there are also people in Bingzhou who are stirring up trouble.

Because Bingzhou is gradually stabilized, it is also quite benevolent to the people, and the population near Daijun is moving to the vicinity of Bingzhou.

If Dai County is empty, and Wang Jun has no people to stand by, even if he wins, what can he do?

What’s more, he may not be able to win!

Zhang Bin snorted: “You should also let Youzhou experience the suffering of the people’s displacement. Now that the court is helping, the lord’s great cause is more stable!”

He said, of course, Jizhou.

According to the news from Yecheng, the officials they secretly went to have taken control of the lifeline of Yecheng.

As long as Haruhi sends troops and captures more cities, more and more people will infiltrate the city.

So unknowingly, within a year, several counties in Jizhou will fall into the hands.

Wouldn’t it be more certain to fight with Wang Jun again?

The word great cause is like a torch to lure butterflies, making it difficult for everyone to control themselves and become more and more serious about it.

This is only the first batch, there will be a second batch, a third batch, and even countless civil and military forces, pushing him to a high position.

Looking at the cheerful faces, the pepper cypress wine on his lips also showed a bit of bitterness.

Step by step, how can anyone step back?

He seemed to hear the soft melody again, but when Liang Feng turned his head, he found that the figure that had always been by the left hand had disappeared.

Probably to avoid suspicion, except for a few text messages, Yecheng did not send anything.

Or, that fortified city is the gift of congratulations he presented?

But in previous years, what did he give away?

Unconsciously pinching his palms, Liang Feng put down the wine glass, thrown these irrelevant things out of his mind, leaned on the table, and continued to listen to the conversation with a smile.
