Governor please stay

Chapter 325 How can politics be done well with this kind of insect?

Liu Yishou created a huge problem for Liang Guozhong: the meat thrown out was too delicious, and there were too many people who wanted a share of the pie, so that the interests could not be coordinated at all.

Zhu Yi put this question in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was silent, counting the beads with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty, this time the prince also intends to lead the expedition..."

Zhu Yi pondered Xiao Yan's thoughts, and felt that it would be better if Xiao Gang was in command.Everyone knew that this crown prince took advantage of Xiao Tong, and even wrote poems about child molestation, and his prestige among the people and the court was very low.

It is understandable for Xiao Yan to help the "Prince".

"Among all the sons, besides my late eldest son, who else has the best virtue?"

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and asked an inexplicable question.One sentence made Zhu Yi not know how to answer.Fortunately, Zhu Yi has been in the court for decades, and he is very familiar with government affairs, and he also knows the affairs of many princes in detail.

He pondered for a moment and said: "The eighth prince, Xiao Ji, has been diligent in learning since he was a child. He has always been respectful, frugal and courteous. He has been in Jiankang and not outside the town. I think that among all the princes, the eighth prince is the best in terms of virtue. "

Hearing this, Xiao Yan stroked his long beard and said, "Your words are very much in line with my wishes. Let Ah Ba (Xiao Ji) go if he is in command this time."

Young son in command?

Zhu Yi turned pale with shock, Xiao Yan's stupid trick was really powerless to complain, and he didn't know where to start.Xiao Ji didn't open a mansion and government office, and didn't even have a team around him, so how could he lead the three armies?
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has no trusted generals..."

Zhu Yiyou didn't know whether it was suitable for him or not. If Xiao Yan was not sitting across from him, he would have slapped him long ago!

"Ah Ba (Xiao Ji) is in command, there is nothing to argue about. As for the candidate for the deputy commander, what do you think?"

One sentence from Xiao Yan blocked what Zhu Yi was going to say later.

"Chen Dudu of Stone City intends to lead the army, and he is familiar with the north."

"He can't leave, and sometimes I have to recruit him to play chess."

Xiao Yan said calmly.

The chess game is fake, Chen Qingzhi is gone, and it is true that Jiankang's guards make people worry.Xiao Yan will not take this crucial amulet away easily.

"Xiahou Kui wrote a letter the day before yesterday, willing to go from Minzhehai Road to Beihai County, where troops are ready to go..."

Zhu Yi said cautiously.You can talk about Chen Qingzhi casually, but Xia Houkui is now the one being dealt with coldly by Xiao Yan.

It's just that Zhu Yi has already received Xia Houkui's money, so what else can he do?

"Let's just mess around with the common people over there. It's not his turn to worry about my family affairs."

Taking back Lanling County and the ancestral home of the clan is a state matter, but it can indeed be regarded as Xiao Yan's family matter.Xiao Yan has great love for the clan, even to the point of disregarding right from wrong.

He disliked outsiders meddling in the affairs of the clan.Of course, it was another matter for Liu Yishou to take the initiative to invite Ying and create opportunities for them to pick peaches.

The so-called dog licking, of course, the more the better, Xiao Yan is not disgusted with similar behavior.

"Lan Dudu (Lan Qin) can't move lightly in Zhongli, and he didn't take the initiative to invite Ying. It's better to transfer Xiao Ying from Matou County to Beihai County, which is not far away."

Xiao Ying didn't get involved at all this time. To be precise, he was already devastated by the chaotic civil affairs in Matou County and other places.Liu Yishou's troops penetrated Matou County all-pervasively, and the households in the territory kept fleeing. It was already not easy for him to cry and complain to Xiao Yan.

Because Xiao Ying was already in such a miserable state, Zhu Yi didn't mind letting him die faster!It is one of the basic operating rules of society to push the wall down.

"Xiao Ying, just let him go, I know it's not easy for him."

Xiao Yan sighed, he felt that Liu Yishou was not easy to deal with, let alone Xiao Ying?Xiao Ying doesn't have the administrative power of Liang Guo's center, how can Liu Yishou be obedient?
Liu Yishou's willingness to help Liang Guo does not mean that he will be polite to the surrounding clans, Xiao Yan can see this very clearly.My son-in-law is not a barbarian in the north, and it is precisely because of this that he is even more difficult to deal with!

I'm not afraid of you being a hooligan, but I'm afraid that hooligans are educated, and Liu Yishou belongs to that kind of educated hooligans.

"Please, Your Majesty, the Holy Inquisition."

Zhu Yi bowed deeply and gave up the treatment.

Although he has served Xiao Yan for decades, he still feels that this master is sometimes too difficult to serve.

"The prince's subordinates should have their own team, right?"

Xiao Yan asked calmly, and Zhu Yi felt the hairs on his back stand on end. No matter how you answer this kind of question, it's not appropriate.Without saying a word, he bowed respectfully and lowered his head to the floor.

"Go and ask the prince yourself, if he has any suitable candidates, you can recommend them."

There was neither sadness nor joy on Xiao Yan's face, and no emotion could be seen.

Zhu Yi was confused by this weird operation.

What does it mean for the youngest son to be in command, and then let the prince send his cronies to lead the army?Is it to let Xiao Ji get close to the generals under the prince's command?

Wouldn't it be...

Zhu Yi didn't dare to continue to think about it, he just felt that Xiao Yan's mind was like June Day in the mountains, changing as soon as he said it!
"Wei Chen takes orders."

Zhu Yi saluted again, ready to bow and leave.

"By the way, the decree is to notify Liu Yishou to stick to Donghai County and Xiapi County, and not to attack Lanling County and disrupt the overall deployment."

Xiao Yan said calmly.

Sure enough!

Zhu Yi complained in his heart, knowing that the emperor would never give the glory of regaining his ancestral land to outsiders.I don't know how that rebellious son-in-law will feel in his heart?
He couldn't say anything more, he could only respectfully exit the Great Buddha Pavilion.After leaving Tongtai Temple, Zhu Yi was a little sobered up by the cold wind blowing by the river.There was an inexplicable question in his mind, which he couldn't let go of until now.

Liu Yishou can be regarded as the top-level person he has ever seen, which made him deeply afraid.In the huge Jiankang City, there is no one who can compare with him.

Every move of this guy has a deep meaning in his daily life, and he will never act foolishly on major matters.His "voluntary labor" this time paves the way for Xiao Yan to regain his ancestral land. Is it really because of the beautiful scenery in Lanling County?

……

Behind them were flatbed trucks full of goods, and Liu Yishou took Jia Sixie through the streets and alleys of the villages around Shouyang, "sending warmth" from door to door, all of which were cloth and the like.

Like the north, Shouyang has a bumper harvest this year. There may be no shortage of food, but this does not mean that ordinary people have no shortage of clothing.Similar things already belong to the category of "industry", but because of the low level of productivity, they are called "handicrafts".

"Ah Weng, do you eat seafood on weekdays?"

Liu Yishou asked an old man who was basking in the sun in the yard.

"Eat, there is no meat on weekdays except river seafood. What would you eat if you don't eat this?"

The old man took it for granted that if Liu Yishou and others hadn't given them something, and they were the big bosses in charge of Shouyang, he would have felt that the other party was asking too much.Poor people have almost no other sources of animal protein except seafood.

There are the most ways to eat freshwater among the people, not without reason.

"Do you eat mussels?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

The old man didn't say anything, he went into the kitchen and brought out a pot of uncooked mussels.Liu Yishou and Jia Sixie looked at each other, thinking that it was so.There are many mussels around Shouyang, and almost every household eats them.

Mussels like to live in shoals such as shallow lakes and shallow rivers. Shaopi is endless, but the water is not deep, and there are densely packed mussels along the coast.

Liu Yishou and the others visited several villages, and the news they got was the same as they had expected.

"On Ah Weng's side, have you ever eaten pearls from river oysters?"

Liu Yishou asked abruptly.

I thought that this person would have the same bewildered face as the people I visited before, but I didn't expect the other person's eyes to flicker, and he hesitated and refused to answer.

"Ah Weng, we just want to see you, the pearl is still yours, and I don't need that little money."

Liu Yishou took out a few copper coins from his cuff, grabbed the old man's hand, and slapped the money into his palm.

It is estimated that Dudu Liu has a very good reputation on weekdays, and he is not the kind of bully.The old man let out a long sigh, and led Liu Yishou and Jia Sixie into the house.I took out a cloth bag from under the pillow, opened the cloth bag, and saw a thumb-sized pearl inside, which was still glowing with blue light, which was amazing.

Liu Yishou looked at it through the cloth, returned the pearl to the old man and asked, "Where did you pick up the river oyster that produced the pearl?"

"Liu Dudu, ah, old man, I go there to pick up mussels from time to time, but I never came out again, just this one!"

The old man shook his head and sighed, he finally understood what this Governor Liu was up to.It is not for his pearl, but to know where the pearl is produced.

But pearls produced by mussels are extremely rare, so you say they are available?This is too whimsical, right?

"Take me to the river, and then tell us what kind of mussel it is, there will be a lot of rewards!"

Liu Yishou said excitedly, unable to hide his excitement.

There are so many types of mussels, even in different rivers, there are different subspecies of the same species of mussels.Not every species can produce pearls.

A group of people came to the river and found the kind of mussel that the old man said. It was indeed a very common species. Liu Yishou had eaten it himself. Of course, he was not so lucky to eat pearls.

"Yang Xiuzhi, you and Yuan Shikang lead the convoy and distribute the remaining supplies to the villagers. We are returning to Shouyang City."

After the work is done, there is no need to spend more time showing off to buy people's hearts.Liu Yishou learned from Xiao Yan's lesson that what he should do is to do great kindness, instead of pretending to do small kindness and great evil.

Instead of wasting time on the show, it is better to do something real.Life is too short, and he really doesn't have the energy to engage in similar people-friendly shows.

……

In the study room of the Governor's Mansion in Shouyang City, Liu Yishou spread out a large piece of paper, drew a picture on the paper with a charcoal pen, then opened the lid of the mussel, and described it to Jia Sixie.

"To put it simply, pearls are sand that falls into the flesh of the mussel. In order to protect the fragile body, the mussel secretes a lot of liquid to wrap the sand. As the ball grows bigger, it becomes a pearl. Of course , the sand here is just a metaphor, and it can also be other foreign objects.”

The principle of mussels producing pearls is not uncommon. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, many scholars observed a phenomenon of "replacing small pearls with large pearls", that is, finding a very large and healthy mussel, and then replacing them with rice grains. Little Pearl stuffed the oyster in while it opened.

Then keep it in clean water, and when the time is almost up, you can take out the pearls.At that time, the pearl has become a super-large pearl, and its value is not the same as before.

Jia Sixie is a person who studies agronomy. When Liu Yishou said this, he immediately understood what the other party wanted to do.

"Raising river mussels, the meat can be eaten, and it doesn't take up an acre of land. If we can stuff foreign objects into the river mussels, we can produce pearls. Then throw the pearls to Jiankang to sell, how about it?"

Then don't be so cool!

"My lord, this move is very promising! It's wonderful!"

Jia Sixie clapped her hands and laughed, Liu Yishou was completely on the same channel as him.

"In the slack season in winter, I want to build a large canal and a large weir pond in the south of Shaobei, where we will try to raise mussels, irrigate the farmland, and reclaim new fields. This will not affect the lives of the original farmers, and the implementation will continue. There is no resistance."

"My lord is far-sighted, and I admire you so much."

Jia Sixie said sincerely, he was really convinced, if it was someone else, with such achievements at Liu Yishou's age, who wouldn't make a fuss about it!
"Dugu Xin, Zhao Gui and the others are fighting ahead, so we can't play at home, can we? If we indulge and slack off, it's like sailing against the current and then retreat. I can't even imagine what will happen then."

Liu Yishou said worriedly.

Gao Huan has the right time, place and people, and has now entered the rising stage of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.Liu Yishou remembered that during this period, the Eastern Wei Dynasty recovered the productivity gap caused by the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty.The country's power expanded rapidly.

Otherwise, if he fought with Yu Wentai and was often defeated, his family fortune in the Northern Wei Dynasty would have been wiped out long ago.

So Liu Yishou was under a lot of pressure, time was not on his side, at least not on Liang Guo's side, Liang Guo was getting weaker and weaker, and it was almost a foregone conclusion.

In two years, I will encounter strong military pressure from Gao Huan.

"My lord, there is no strong enemy ahead, General Dugu and the others can still handle it." Jia Sixie comforted.

He is a young man himself, and he knows the situation there very well.

"Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. You haven't fully understood it yet."

Liu Yishou said something with emotion, which made Jia Sixie confused.

……

In the study of the prince's mansion in Taicheng, Jiankang, the prince Xiao Gang was furious, so angry that he wanted to throw things but dared not.Because the news of his rage will be sent to Xiao Yan, the consequences are unpredictable!
"The Son of Heaven is too eccentric! Too eccentric! Let me and Ah Ba (Xiao Ji) set up a platform, whether it is tolerable or unbearable!"

Xiao Gang hammered the table fiercely, furious!

"Your Highness, it is useless to say these things now." Prince Zhan Shi Liujin said helplessly.

Liu Jin is the former minister of Xiao Gangqian's residence, from the Liu family in Hedong. Like Yang Kan, he is from the north.It is not new for the Xiao clan to take in talents from the north, and under Xiao Yi's command there are Wang Sengbian and his son.

"Then how do you think you're going to deal with it?"

Xiao Gang asked calmly.

"A virtuous person does not avoid relatives, and my minister recommends Liu Zhongli, an unworthy son, to lead the battle." Liu Jin said with a deep bow.

This proposal is somewhat interesting.

Xiao Gang thought about it for a while, and found that Liu Jin's move was really not just to pave the way for his son.

"Let's listen to the details."

Xiao Gang's anger also dissipated, Xiao Yan's decision could not be changed, saying those were useless.What we need to see now is how to deal with it in order to maximize the benefits.

　Pearl farming is a local industry in the modern Shaobei area. It is absolutely possible to know whether the mussels here can produce pearls, or whether they can raise similar mussels. I have done enough research beforehand.
