At this time, Qingcheng Mountain was breeze and clouds were simmering.

While everyone was lingering in the mountains, the oldest Mou Yan suddenly said, "The king is a descendant of the Taoist king and the former prince of the Tang Dynasty. He has a noble bloodline. The king rises up to the king's army, drives out the Tartars, and relieves the people from the Han Dynasty. He has made great achievements. Isn't it the destiny of heaven?"

"And now the king owns most of Yangzhou and all of Yizhou, and his achievements are even greater than those of Shu Han. The tiger lies in the south and the four countries are the strongest. Why don't he follow the will of heaven and ascend to the top to boost the hearts of the people and safeguard the country?"

This is to persuade Li Luo to become emperor.

Huang Ze also said: "Yes. Today, there are riots and chaos. Since Zhu Wen usurped the rebellion, China has been divided for nearly four hundred years. A saint should come to the world, unify the mountains and rivers, and create a prosperous era again."

"For the next five countries today, the Mongol Yuan has strong military power, and the Tang Dynasty has the most powerful people, and they are also two heroes. However, the Mongol Yuan was a barbarian outside the border, bullying the Central Plains and unpopular. How could he be able to occupy the Han family for a long time? The Tang nobles in front of the king had a brilliant ancestral property. He was even the savior of the Han family. The people admired him as their fathers and the destiny was like their sons. How could they not be the emperor?"

Zhang Dashan and others also made suggestions to persuade Li Luo to become emperor immediately. After all, even Xiao Yin and others were usurped and promoted to emperor.

In fact, the time for Li Luo to be emperor is ripe.

But Li Luo was unwilling to be emperor at this time.

He felt unsatisfied.

The south is so big that he only occupies one-third of the territory, so he wants to be emperor?

He is not Xiao Yin or Zhao Liangqin.

If the south is not unified, it is boring to be called emperor. If the emperor is too early and the ministers are too rewarded, it is not conducive to enterprising spirit.

But I believe Mou Yan and others also saw this. However, they still advised Li Luo to be emperor and did not expect Li Luo to agree. Why do they do this?

It's just a statement.

It means that they will return to Tang sincerely and be loyal to him.

This is the difference between literature and history and warriors. Their real intentions are often different from what they say on the surface. The monarch needs to be reinterpreted before they can discover their purpose.

This is why it is difficult to be an emperor.

Therefore, Li Luo didn't have an explanation for this, but just smiled faintly and said, "I know what you mean."

Sure enough, Mou Yan and others looked at each other and smiled, saluted together, "The king is humble and the grass is abrupt."

Li Luo pondered: "You don't need to call yourself a sage. The Tang Dynasty was founded and she was eager to seek talent. There were many people in the court. Can you please go back to Lin'an with me and write to me?"

Mou Yan and others were overjoyed, "The king is not bound by his own character, and he is not promoted to the countryside because of his despicable and incompetent ministers. He dares not devote himself to his work! I hope he will follow the king and join in the great cause of restoration!"

With their talent, knowledge and reputation, if they had no integrity, they would have accepted the recruitment and become officials of the Yuan court, and they would not have to wait until today.

But this does not mean that they don’t like to be officials. They just don’t want to be officials in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

In fact, when Xiao Yin was elected as emperor, they inspected Xiao Yin. But they found that Xiao Yin was so indecisive to the powerful, and did not have many actions to benefit the people. They acted conservatively and had no pioneering actions. They were very disappointed.

Later, when he saw Xiao Yin personally conquering Lu Wenhuan, he returned from defeat and trapped in Jiangling, he was even more disappointed.

As for Zhao Liangqin, he doesn't seem to be able to succeed.

On the contrary, Li Luo not only had strong soldiers and strong horses, but also implemented the equalization of fields and benefited the people one after another. His literary and military strategies were both heroes, just like the rising sun, with a hidden momentum of whales and swallowing the world.

The style of a wise ruler is undoubtedly revealed.

That's why they decided to return to the Tang Dynasty. When they met Li Luo today, they thought that Li Luo was more famous when they met, and they were all convinced and happy to serve.

Mou Yinglong first offered his advice: "I heard that the king has recruited a lot of cavalry seeds in Shu, but I wonder where the king is going to train cavalry?"

During the Hengyang War and Cui Xiuning's Jiangdian War, the Tang Kingdom obtained more than 100,000 war horses, so Li Luo had recruited cavalry and planned to build a cavalry of 100,000 people.

This time, Yizhou recruited 80,000 new recruits, and 30,000 people could ride horses. Many of them were Tubo people and Qiang people from western and northern Sichuan.

To be fair, they are indeed better at riding horses than the Han people in the south and are more suitable for being cavalry.

But Li Luo did not decide on a special cavalry training ground. Now when Mou Yinglong mentioned it, he reminded him.

Yes, if the cavalry field is not good, it will affect the cavalry's training effect and speed. He has ignored this issue before.

"I haven't thought about where to train cavalry. Could it be that Mou Qing has an idea?" Li Luo asked. His geography was not very good, not as good as Cui Xiuning.

Mou Yinglong said: "Report to the king, there are many grasslands in the west and north of Sichuan. The largest of them is in Panzhou, which was once a nomadic land of the Qiang people. Because of the high terrain and abundant water and grass, it is very suitable for training cavalry."

Sichuan is very big, and Li Luo is more familiar with the Chengdu generation in his later generations. He didn’t know that there were still a large number of grasslands in Sichuan.

Wen Tianxiang frowned, "There is too close to Tubo, and it is a training for new recruits, which is a bit more risky."

Mou Yinglong said: "Mr. Wenshan, don't worry. Although it is close to Tubo, there are mountains blocking it. The Tubo tribes are too busy to take care of themselves and dare not send troops. It should be fine."

Li Luo thought for a while, "Just as Mou Qing said, train cavalry on the grassland. Mr. Wen, after returning to Chengdu, you will order the cavalry recruits to Songpan County for training in the name of the Military Advisor's Office."

Panzhou has been changed to Songpan County. In fact, it is now under the jurisdiction of the Tubo Xuanzhengyuan, but it only belongs to Sichuan in later generations. In other words, Li Luo not only recovered Yizhou, but also took a small piece of Tubo territory.

Songpan County is indeed too close to Tubo, but it is a highland grassland after all, and it is very suitable for training cavalry. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Yang Hanming also made a comment: "Brother, since the people in Songpan County are good at riding horses, why don't they recruit more cavalry?"

Li Luo nodded, "Then we will recruit another 10,000 cavalry from the Songpan people who are divided into fields and pastures. The recruitment of soldiers will be done by the provincial governor's yamen."

Songpan was once a territory of the Tubo Empire, with Tubo people, Qiang people, and Han people. These tribes influenced each other, and their customs became Han and barbarian. However, there were many cavalry seedlings.

As a result, half of the newly recruited 40,000 cavalrymen came from Songpan. But Li Luo was not worried that they would rebel. Because these new recruits were herders and poor peasants who were previously exploited by the chieftains, they were grateful to Li Luo.

People's hearts are full of flesh. Tubo serfs and Qiang serfs who were levied and levyed by the chieftains, betrayed the Tang King who made him turn over because Li Luo was a Han Chinese, and then became a cattle and a horse for the chieftains.

How stupid that would be.

When Huang Ze saw that Mou Yinglong's suggestion was adopted, he immediately said: "King, Dujiangyan has been disrepaired for a long time and is seriously silted, which is not conducive to the Great Management of Yizhou. Please repair it as soon as possible."

"Good." Li Luo nodded, "I have been thinking about this matter. However, the Dujiangyan project is complex and huge. There is no official who is proficient in water conservancy around me, so I did not order the construction to start for a while."

A major water conservancy project like Dujiangyan is not easy to build and is also not easy to build. It is far less simple than others think. If an outsider comes to preside over it, it will consume more manpower and material resources, and waste a lot of time, and may even cause floods during the flood season.

After Li Bing built Dujiangyan, Sichuan became the country of Tianfu. Li Bing left a six-character last words to govern Dujiangyan: "Digest the beach deep and build the dam low." All the dynasties have kept these six-character mantras in mind, and nothing happened.

However, after the Mongol Yuan occupied Sichuan, it repaired randomly and used iron men and horses to strengthen and raise the river bank. This was not only futile and wasted people's and financial resources, but also caused floods in Shu to spread, making Dujiangyan in ruins.

Shuzhong is a basin. It has been troubled by the Minjiang River since ancient times and is prone to become a "thousand-mile country", so water conservancy is of great importance.

"Don't worry, my king." Wen Tianxiang smiled, "There is one person who is good at water conservancy, Lin'an, and Ren Renfa, the former Dushui Shao Supervisor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province."

Ren Renfa?

Li Luo knew that Ren Renfa was born in the Songjiang Water Conservancy Family and had presided over many projects. He was also considered a historical celebrity.

Job also said: "Don't worry, although Ren Renfa has been an official in the Yuan court, he has no bad record and is still available."

"Okay. Then I'll appoint this person as the Ministry of Works' Dushui Department and be transferred to Shuzhong to preside over the restoration of Dujiangyan." Li Luo made a quick decision and seized the day.

If the floods in Shu are flooded this year, it will be troublesome. He must be urgent.

Ren Renfa, who was far away in Jiangnan, never expected that he would be stuck at home and worry about his future. He would only get a fourth-rank official position thousands of miles away.

Zhang Dashan suggested: "King, Shu brocade is important in the world, and it is an important source of wealth. Wuhou used this as a resource for the Northern Expedition, which has been important in all dynasties. However, since the fall of the Yuan Dynasty invaded Yizhou, people's livelihood has declined and all industries have declined. The same is true for this Shu brocade. I beg the King to restore Shu brocade to be a strategy to enrich Shu."

Sichuan was called "The Country of Silkworms" in ancient times, and the word Shu originated from this. It can be seen that the silk craftsmanship in Shu has been extremely developed since ancient times. Shu brocade is the masterpiece of it.

Due to the complex craftsmanship and special dyeing, Shu brocade has always been very expensive and has a saying that every inch of brocade is worth every inch of gold. Therefore, special institutions have been set up in Chengdu throughout the ages to manage Shu brocade, which is also the origin of Chengdu being called Jincheng.

Sichuan Shu brocade, Jinling Yunjin, Gusu Song brocade, Guangxi Zhuang brocade are collectively called the "Four Famous Brocades", and Shu brocade is especially valuable.

But from the Yuan Dynasty, Shu Jin began to decline. Many techniques that have been passed down through the ages were lost. In the Ming Dynasty, they declined even more, and they became second-rate from the top of the famous brocade.

It was from this time that Sichuan was no longer rich.

Li Luo took it very seriously after hearing this, "Hanming, after you return to the yamen, you immediately issue a notice to recruit surviving Shu brocade weavers and set up a Shu brocade bureau. Choose skillful female workers to teach the inherited brocade weaving techniques. Don't be stingy about money and food, and do this matter quickly."

Then, Deng Guangxian proposed a plan to "borrow officials and victims" because although the equalization order has been implemented and farmers have allocated fields, the number of oxen among the people is in short supply, which seriously affects farming.

The strategy of "officials and animals borrowed from the people" was to let the court lend the post station cattle and horses, mules and horses in the army that were temporarily unused, and even temporarily idle war horses to farmers to farm to farm, and overcome the critical spring plowing difficulties.

This is a good idea. Although horses are not as good as cows, they are much better than people.

Li Luo immediately agreed without hesitation.

"The king is really following advice, and he has the legacy of Emperor Taizong!" Everyone was happy and praised Li Luo for following advice.

A warm picture of the relationship between the king and the ministers at the moment. Li Luo felt that their advice was very useful and all the talents that hit the word were available, so he was happy. But Mou Yan and others believed that only by meeting the wise masters could one achieve something and live a happy life.

Li Luo suddenly said to Huang Ze: "Huang Qing, I heard that you are editing a new play called "The King of Tang Enters Sichuan"?"

Huang Ze's face turned red, "The good teacher knows that this playbook is a trick, and I don't do it. It's just that the king. In order to promote the king's benevolence and achievements, I accidentally did it."

Li Luo laughed and pointed at Huang Ze: "You, you, this opera is not a trivial skill, but a general strategy to educate the people's hearts! If used well, it is the way to educate, even more than the books of sages, so you should not be despised."

Everyone felt something when they heard it. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that Li Luo's words made sense.

It was the second day that the king and his ministers went down the mountain to return to Chengdu.

After Li Luo handled official duties for a long time, the guard Ashan came to report: "King, how many preys do you want to offer a pair of auspicious beasts to the king, saying that they are iron-eating beasts, and they have two big dark circles and are very cute..."

I'll go!

Li Luo immediately became energetic. What an iron-eating beast? It is a national treasure giant panda!

The man immediately put down his pen and came outside the state yard. Sure enough, he could see the familiar black and white guy at a glance.

Both pandas were in the big bamboo cage, looking pitifully at the onlookers. Li Luo immediately laughed when he saw it.

Panda.

"The king is here!"
