12. Autumn Society Festival City God
Building a city in Wonju seems to be a curse.
Before Yuan Zai could practice, he was slaughtered;
Yang Yan practiced it, but it led to a mutiny in Jingzhou. His own death was somewhat related to this matter.
"It has only been a year since the peace talks with Xifan. Xifan has not done anything to destroy the alliance. If we build a city in Pingliang on the border, once the two sides meet, we will be in a position of reluctance! Besides, can we be prepared for the war between our Tang and Xifan?" The emperor looked back and looked at the Hanlin scholars sitting in front of him, and asked.
Then to his surprise, all Hanlin bachelors, except for Yu Gongyi, agreed to build a city in Pingliang.
Lu Zhi said that the fields of Jingyuan, Fengxiang and Xingyuan camp are very effective now, with a comprehensive reserve of military and food, and weapons, which is no longer as good as before. Moreover, Your Majesty has set up eight military towns and Mafang, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the right camp have taken shape. With Han Huan's supply of wealth and grain to the southeast, even if he is temporarily unable to fight against Xifan, he will advance the front line to Yuanzhou and Liupanshan through building a city, and in order to plan for the future Helong plan, it is still absolutely feasible.
The emperor then asked Duke Wei again.
The Duke of the Military Resigned replied with gale that the border generals are now all people who are deeply afraid of the Western Body, such as Duan Xiushi, Li Sheng, Ma Sui, etc., and the rice and grain are complete. How can a mere little Body be afraid? What's more, when the peace was discussed with the Western Body before, Pingliang was included in our Tang territory. It is natural to build an army city here, and Your Majesty does not need to hesitate.
The emperor asked Zheng again.
Although Zheng Zhi was a little hesitant, he basically agreed with the city building plan, saying that as long as there are 600,000 stones of rice and grain, nothing will be a problem.
Another bachelor Wu Tongxuan and Wu Tongwei were Xiao Fu's confidant, so needless to say, of course they also agree.
Only Yu Gongyi advised the emperor with concern, saying that the rebellion had just subsided and China and Turkey had won Ning Yi, so why should the border affairs be launched again? The generals of the ranks shouted to start a war, just hoping to seek credit and regain their position. He hoped that Your Majesty would think calmly and weigh the pros and cons.
Li Shi sighed and then slowly walked to the steps outside the hall.
A few dark green locusts flew over and stopped on his sleeves. The officials were so scared that they hurriedly drove them away.
Li Shi looked around and saw that even the main halls in the Daming Palace, whether in the open space or on the roof, were densely packed with locusts, some jumping and some flying.
Even the Daming Palace is like this, not to mention Chang'an City and Jingzhao Prefecture.
This year, in Guanzhong, at the turn of spring and summer, people encountered a rare locust plague, and some people starved to death.
The emperor reached out and grabbed a locust. He stared at the nauseous insect with green all over his body. In the exclamation, he swallowed it into his mouth and chewed it into his belly, and said angrily: "Let you harm my people!"
Then the emperor told several officials that the money and silk that had been offered to be stored in Qionglin and Daying Curtain were taken out from all over the capital and to save food from disaster victims. In addition, when Han Huan came to Beijing this time, he could provide 600,000 stones of grain to Shence's right camp, the left and right Shenwei army behind the palace, the 16 guards of the capital and the northwest army, and then 500,000 stones of grain to the people who suffered from wasteland in Jingzhao Prefecture, I would like to listen to him in everything.
I have no choice now. Only by establishing good relations with all towns can I maintain my rule.
"Civilization is done right!" After nightfall, in the mansion of Zhang Yanshang in the capital, the servant who had just arrived at the office said to the servant who came to report the news.
His son Zhang Hongjing next to him was very confused and asked his father, "Does his father also agree with Han Taichong's plan?"
"No, Zheng Wenming is my son-in-law, but he is even more a Hanlin bachelor. You have to know that the biggest taboo in the bachelor's academy is that the emperor knows that you have leaked 'Wang Yan' (the emperor's words and ideas) to others, so in order to avoid suspicion, I will object to it!" Zhang Yanshang was also a scheming person in the officialdom.
"What if Han Taichong is angry, what should I do?"
"It is inevitable to build a city in Pingliang under the current situation. We have to act in the same way. If a war breaks out between the Tang and the Turkish government and I am unfavorable, with my opposition, it will be convenient to leave a way out and take advantage of the situation to win."
"How should his father deal with himself after Han Tai rushed into Beijing?"
"Don't worry, I am the prime minister of the current dynasty after all. Once I am against it, Han Jiang will definitely spend the capital to win me over. This is a good thing for us." Zhang Yanshang's beards seemed to have a decision.
The entire capital, with the arrival of the Han River and the aggravation of the locust plague, began to become more violent.
Han Huan, Zhang Yanshang, and the emperor's three camps all have their own ideas.
The Xingyuan Prefecture in Hanzhong ushered in a peaceful and pleasant September.
From the entire Chiya to Shanheyan, to the Huangshahe area of Mian County, wheat and rice harvest were harvested. The soldiers in the camp laughed and cheered, competing to send the newly harvested thousands of carts of rice into the Chiya warehouse, and the carriages and horses were circling around the road.
The young Yin Gaoyue of Xingyuan, and the important officials in the mansion, personally presided over the grand "Autumn Club Celebration" to repay the merits to the City God and the Land God. Gao Yue also wrote a congratulations to the City God of Xingyuan Palace:
"The young emperor of Xingyuan Prefecture, Liang, Yang and Li, the three prefectures, Gao Yue, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, was very careful to have wine and food, and was sacrificed to the temple of the city god in our palace, and sacrificed to the god of the city god. I told the god that the god could touch me, the clouds were made of leaves, and the rain had already shed their silk. Once the good fortune is opened, how dare you be lazy and fragrant? The gods are not ashamed of my small town, so don't give me the merits of Yuan, and forever shelter my Xingyuan City, the valleys, beans, mulberry and rice, life strategy - the guards are willing to serve their duties, who dares not be ungodly?"
"Who dares to be ungodly?" All the governors, county magistrates and other prefectures and counties came to attend the worship and prayed in all incense.
After the autumn society, the soldiers and civilians of Xingyuan Prefecture continued to work hard and began to build high-grade scoundrels and rush to plant two wheat.
Now even the people began to actively plant wheat, and the mixed rice and wheat seeds and ripe system was quickly promoted throughout the prefectures and counties.
At the Tianhan Tower, the "Quanbao Tower" of Xingyuan Prefecture was successfully built. This building is actually a granary, with one floor storing cloth and two floors storing copper coins. There are five transfer halls under it, each with a carriage and horse path leading to the south of the city - the Hanchuan. Countless sailboats come and go. Under the city walls, there are rows of deeds, most of which are run by Baicao Army or agents. The husbands of the dock carried various goods and climbed up the steps along the water gate stairway, sending their wealth into the towering Quanbao Tower, or sending them to the markets in the south and south of the city for sale.
"Two envoys, Gao Yue and Wei Gao, of course, agree with Han Nanyang's views!" In the building, Gao Yue joined Li Sheng and Han Huan's alliance very readily after meeting with Zhao Guangxian, the governor of Yangzhou, and Wang Qi, the governor of Lizhou, and expressed his full support for the plan to build a city in Pingliang. "Now that the locust plague in Guanzhong is severe. My Xingyuan Mansion is in addition to the rice dumplings, and I am willing to pay another 50,000 stones of rice for preparing for floods and droughts, and send it to the capital first to alleviate the urgent needs of Your Majesty and the government and civilians."
"That's great. The Prince of Hechuan asked us to send a message to Shaoyin. The Prince of Hechuan would also come to the capital to serve the court. The Holy Lord might also want Xuan Shaoyin and Wei Jun envoys, Yan Lian envoys (Yan Zhen, Banan Observation Envoy), and Wu envoys (Wu Mian, Dongchuan Jiedu) to enter the capital. Please ask Shaoyin to uphold the friendship with the prince and make a statement of valor." It seems that Li Sheng really wants to join forces with Han Huan and is determined to implement the plan of building a city in Pingliang.
