Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 471
Zhang Xiang and Liu Chang work together, and there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Zhang Cang can solve the problem, and Liu Chang can solve the problem.

The total grain output of Dahan last year was 700 million shi, which is already very high, because in the previous year, when Zhang Cang was still nesting at home and beauties, Dahan's grain production Just over half the size of that number.

But if you want to make such progress again, and turn the current 700 million shi grains into [-] million, the difficulty will be much greater than going from [-] million to [-] million.

But Liu Chang was in no hurry.

Liu Chang had already made preparations when he was preparing to create a prosperous world, and the military ration standard of the big man was three shi grains a month, and a soldier had to eat three shi grains a month, so he would need 36 shi grains a year , Nowadays, the average per capita of a big Han is about twelve stones, which is only about one stone per month.

Even if ordinary people don't eat as much as a soldier, in terms of two stone, they can barely eat half full, and they are almost hungry all year round. Even, this is only per capita, not everyone can have one. Moon has one stone of rations.

Liu Chang's purpose is very simple, that is, to change the average [-] shi per person to [-] shi per person today, so that everyone in the world can have enough to eat.The goal of this per capita ration is a bit high even in later generations, but later generations are different. Later generations not only use corn and wheat as a single ration, but also have many choices.
In addition, the population of later generations is also different from today's population. The yield per mu is more than ten times that of today, but the population is almost more than a hundred times larger, so the per capita value is naturally not high.

"It's not easy for the teacher, you see, he's worried, there are no new children born this year!"

Liu Chang couldn't help but sigh, Lu Lu hesitated for a moment, according to Zhang Xiang's current age, there seems to be nothing wrong with no new children born this year, right? ?
"Teacher has worked so hard, and I can't neglect it. I must do my best. If this year's grain production can be increased to more than [-] million stone, it will be even better."

"Your Majesty has done all that he can, even if it fails, don't be discouraged."

"Of course I won't be depressed, if it's not possible today, it may not be impossible tomorrow!"

"If my grandfather's ministers can't do it well, my ministers may not be impossible!"

The two were chatting, and just as they walked to the gate of the palace, they heard someone making a noise here, and the soldiers were running around as if they were facing a great enemy.

Liu Chang stepped forward curiously, but saw two people surrounded by soldiers.

There were two people wearing yellow scarves, armor, and armed with sharp weapons. They confronted the soldiers of the Southern Army under Zhang Meng. Liu Chang just glanced at them, and his face turned dark.

Zhou Shengzhi and Fan Yan were standing in the middle of the soldiers. They looked wet and had a fishy smell all over their bodies. At this moment, they were yelling at the soldiers.

"There has been no edict from Your Majesty, you are not allowed to enter."

"The two generals are generals in command of the army. How can this be so? The Wuyang Marquis was born in a butcher and knows the propriety, and the Jianghou Lehu was born and knows the propriety.

Zhang Meng frowned and asked sternly.

"He is a man of great merit, and he is in a hurry to see His Majesty, yet dare to stop us?!"

"What are you Zhang Meng? He's just a pawn in the Southern Army. Your Majesty pity him, give him a humble official position, and let him guard the gatehouse. How dare this vicious dog bully us?"

"If you don't open the door again, I'll set the door on fire now!"

"I will mobilize the Yellow Head Army to kill you guys now!!"

Don't look at the sages who are submissive in front of Liu Chang on weekdays, but outside, they are still quite domineering and invincible. Zhou Shengzhi and Fan Yan are now yelling at these soldiers, their words are arrogant, and they even try to kick them. The soldier in front.

These armored soldiers also retreated again and again, not daring to really fight against them.

Fan Yan couldn't help but raised his head, "It's a public announcement~~~~~~"

Fan Mi's words had just started when a sturdy arm attacked from behind and directly wrapped around his neck. Fan Mi's voice changed its tone. God came, and he was quickly locked in the throat.

Liu Chang locked one person with one hand, and neither of them lifted their heads, so they knew who was coming.

Immediately, Mr. Fan came to the wicked person to file a complaint, "Your Majesty!! That guy Zhang Meng was too deceiving, saying that my grandfather was a lowly man who slaughtered pigs, so he didn't allow me to enter!"

Zhou Shengzhi also hurriedly said: "He also said that my grandfather was a villain who played the flute and flute at his funeral, so he did not allow me to enter!"

If Liu Chang hadn't heard the conversation just now, he would have almost believed their evil.

Zhang Meng was furious, "How could I ever say that I am just. Your Majesty, I am."

Seeing that the Jiuqing in front of him was defeated by his own group of sages, Liu Chang shook his head, "You don't have to worry, I know what kind of virtue these two guys are, you must take their background as an example. , and asked them why they didn't obey the etiquette, it was these two people who reversed right and wrong!"

Zhang Meng was shocked and could not help but admire Liu Changsheng in his heart.

"Your Majesty Shengming!!!"

Being able to come up with the truth with just a few words, it is no wonder that Prime Minister Zuo always said that His Majesty is wise, and he is really wise.

Liu Chang dragged the two people towards the palace, and the soldiers only felt a bad breath.

Being dragged by Chang Liu like this, Zhou Shengzhi exclaimed: "Your Majesty's strength is really getting bigger and bigger, and even this wisdom is unfathomable, and he actually guessed the truth after a few words."

Fan Yan pouted, "You said that Your Majesty is very strong, I admit it, but if you are wise, His Majesty must have come very early, and secretly listened to our conversation, and then pretended to come up with it and followed His Majesty~~ ~~~”

Liu Chang suddenly exerted force, and Fan's voice changed again.

He dragged them all the way into the Hall of Houde, and suddenly threw them to the ground. Without even breathing, Liu Chang sat in front of them and stared at them coldly.

The two got up laughing and sat flatteringly in front of Liu Chang.

They all directly regard the Hall of Houde as their own home, and they are completely unconstrained.

"When did you come back?"

"The rest of the army is still behind those who came back in the spaceship today."

"Well, do you know what crime it is to abandon the army and run away according to the laws of the Han Dynasty?"

Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly shook his head, and Mrs Fan gave him a disdainful look, "I don't even know about this, the Zhu clan!"

Liu Chang rubbed his forehead. Under his command, there are two people, Xia Houzao and Fan Yan, who can be said to be the two Guan Zhongleyi at the moment. However, this battle has been won, and there are no enemies inside. Liu Chang is against his own family. People are more forgiving.

At this moment, Lu Lu watched them smirk. The smile on his face was emanating from his heart. It could be seen that he was really happy.

"Lu? You've been laughing since you saw us. You laugh so much that I'm a little horrified. Don't keep laughing, go and prepare some food! Isn't that what you are doing?"

Zhou Shengzhi said displeasedly.

Lu Lu rarely talked back to him, and turned around to prepare food.

"The record of the Yellow Head Army is not bad. If I let you stay in the Yellow Head Army in the future, would you like to?"

Liu Chang asked.

Fan Yan nodded without hesitation, "Naturally willing, Your Majesty, our yellow-headed army is the strongest army in the world, what kind of northern and southern armies, we can also fight what they can, and we can still fight what they can't!"

The Yellow Head Army is not a simple navy army. They have their own armored knights. After the victory of the water battle, they are also responsible for using the armored knights to conduct land warfare. For example, in the Dahan Building ship, there is a place reserved for war horses. These people are probably the "Dahan Marine Corps".

"Your Majesty, we brought back a lot of good things from the Japanese island this time!!"

"A shipload of gold and silver. It's more than enough for my grandfather's funeral."

Zhou Shengzhi said with emotion.

Fan Yan added: "There are also the leaders of some tribes and Xu Fu's remnants on the island. We will capture these people and let them come to visit Your Majesty. It is up to you to decide what to do with their tribes."

"Well, no hurry, and lock them up for a few days"

Liu Chang took a sip of wine, then looked at Zhou Shengzhi and asked, "You are in such a hurry to come back because of your father's business, right?"

Zhou Shengzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, although my grandfather has many shortcomings, he is really not a rebel. He will not rebel. I am willing to vouch for him."

Zhou Bo has a lot of problems, but he can't really be called a rebel. In history, when the Lu family dominated the government, even overshadowing the Liu family, Zhou Bo executed Lu, and of course, all of Liu Ying's descendants were executed. Even forcing the princes and kings from all over the country to kill their wife and son surnamed Lu was too much.

However, starting from that era, Zhou Bo was just a bit ruthless. After embracing Liu Heng, Zhou Bo had a lot of military power, but he didn't have any bad ideas, and he was more cooperative with Liu Heng.

Therefore, after being caught and imprisoned, Liu Heng's biological mother questioned Liu Heng: Zhou Bo did not rebel when he was a prefect, but when he returned home, he wanted to rebel instead?
As for some people who say that Zhou Bo handed over military power because Chai Wu, Song Chang and others were on Liu Heng's side, they looked down on Zhou Bo. In Liu Heng's era, Zhou Bo was the only remaining general in the world. Both Ying and Xiahouying were very close to him and were willing to obey his orders.

These three people joined forces, and even the ten Chai Wu and Song Chang might not be able to stop them.

Liu Chang waved his hand, "Of course I know that, so I didn't kill him, and continue to let him serve as the captain, you have to be careful, your father makes such a fuss, you will lose [-] families of titles you can inherit."

The three of them rarely meet each other, chat about state affairs, eat meat and drink, and are quite happy.

Lu Lu kept running around, arranging food and drink for them.

Seeing Lu Lu's attitude, Zhou Shengzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Lu is really different from before. He is so respectful to us, yet I am rude to him, it really shouldn't be."

Eating up, Liu Chang couldn't help but tell the two good brothers about the grain production in the past two years.

The two of them didn't know these things very well, but they were very happy when they heard the number that they couldn't calculate at all, and couldn't help but applaud.

Liu Chang's face was very serious, he shook his head and sighed.

"Ugh"

Zhou Shengzhi asked in a conditioned reflex, "Why does Your Majesty sigh?"

"It's not enough. You don't know that people today can barely eat a stone of food for a month. This stone of millet can be eaten by a few of us in one meal. How hard is it? Want to Let the people have enough to eat, and the production of more than 2 million is estimated to be [-] million, or even [-] million."

"I have done everything that can be done, how can it be raised to four or five billion stone?"

"Why don't your Majesty ask Qun Xian?"

Zhou Shengzhi said hurriedly.

Liu Chang looked at the three sages in front of him, Zhou Shengzhi, Fan Yan, and Lu Lu. He hesitated for a moment, "Forget it."

Fan Yan was a little unhappy, "Your Majesty, how can you neglect the talents?"

"Then what can you do?"

"We don't have food, but others have it!"

"Can't we just go grab it? Didn't the Marquis of Huaiyin say that there are many countries over there, and their arable land is ripe several times a year, and the grain yield is very high. Wouldn't it be better if we just grab them? "

Liu Chang pouted, "What you said is light, do you know how much food it takes to send troops? If you do this, you will be unable to make ends meet."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember when we bullied Fu Qing?"

"Which time did you say?"

"We were trapped in the mansion and couldn't come out, but we didn't have any money, so people went to Fu Qing and told him that if we don't give us the money, we will beat him when we go out. Fu Qing sent more than 600 money at that time. Then you took the 590 money and we split the rest, did you forget?"

When Fan Yan said this, Liu Chang suddenly remembered.

"Oh, I understand, what do you mean, intimidate the poisonous nations? Force them to pay for food??"

"Isn't the Marquis of Huaiyin in the Western Regions? You can ask the Marquis of Huaiyin to clean up them a little, first make them afraid, and then force them to pay for food. I heard that the Huns are fighting with poison everywhere. At this time, they definitely don't want us. Attacked from the rear."

"The Huns also knew the horror of the Marquis of Huaiyin, so they asked the Huns to pay the grain, otherwise they would attack from the rear, so that they would not dare to disobey. As for other countries, didn't they say before that they wanted the help of the great Han? If you want help, you have to give Let's bring food!"

"Didn't Yafu capture Stone City? We will use this place as a place for the big Han to collect grain from the outside world, and let those small countries pay grain. If they don't pay grain, we will send cavalry to fight them!"

Although the sages are not good at governing the country, they are still very skilled in doing this kind of robbery, making money and killing people.

Fan Yan's idea sounds nonsense, not to mention that the Xiongnu is currently blocking the road, but that it can be smooth, why should they pay you grain, and the big man has no way to send people to destroy the country.

But Liu Chang thought about it for a while, and thought it was very tricky.

The body poison is different from the big Han. They have many countries, and the strength gap between them is not very big. They are barely able to compete. At this time, the big man may be able to obtain food through various methods, such as selling weapons. Many big men have been eliminated. arms.

These things were originally intended to be rebuilt and used as farm tools, but if they could be sold there for food, Liu Chang narrowed his eyes immediately. The intervention of the big man could change the situation there, especially for the Xiongnu, as long as Huaiyin Hou began to harass from the rear, and the idea of ​​the Huns wanting to dominate the body and poison could only become empty talk.

The more Liu Chang thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and he couldn't help but say, "Go on! Go on!"

Hearing Liu Chang's encouragement, Fan Fan was naturally very excited, and continued: "In addition to robbing other people's food, we can also hire their people to farm for us, don't you always say that there is no farming in the Western Regions? , why don't we directly rob people from the poison and let them farm in the Western Regions?"

Seeing that he couldn't say anything new, Liu Chang looked at Zhou Shengzhi.

Zhou Shengzhi was a little apprehensive. This fellow Fan and Mrs. had given such good advice, but he couldn't say it himself. Wouldn't it be embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, now the grain production is very high, and the per capita low is probably because there are too many people, not as good as us"

"Okay, you don't have to say that Xiahouzao is here, you won't make suggestions like you, you continue to eat your meat!"

Liu Chang couldn't sit still at the moment. Fan's words made him think more and more reasonable. The best way to increase grain production is to grab other people's food. Why didn't he think of it?It seems that he has stayed with a traitor like Zhou Changshen Tujia for too long, and lost his true character!

Or my sages have great wisdom.

After eating and drinking, Liu Chang sent the two sages to leave the Hall of Houde.

Zhou Shengzhi smiled and took Lu Lu's hand, "I was ignorant when I was young, and I had a little holiday with you. I feel very guilty about you treating me like this today. We will work together in the future."

As he was talking, when he walked out of the door and looked at it, he was stunned.

Outside the Hall of Houde, there are Cao Shu, Lu Yu, and Madam Zhou, the wife of Zhou Bo.The three were chatting, and Cao Shu treated them both politely. Seeing them, Zhou Shengzhi and Fan Yan were shocked and hurried forward to meet them.

Lu Ru frowned, "I heard that the two of you left the army, returned privately, insulted Zhang Meng, and forced your way into the palace, right?!"

Fan Yan weakly opened his mouth and turned his head, only to see Lu Lu with a happy face.

Lu Lu was very happy today, he did not expect such a coincidence, just when Empress Cao was entertaining the old ladies in the palace, these two scorpions threw themselves into the net. As their dearest friends and relatives, Lu Lu naturally wanted to inform The two old ladies sadly described their disappointment with their two friends.

So, the two old ladies were waiting here.

"Mum, this must be framed by that thief Lu Lu! Don't believe his nonsense!"

Zhou Shengzhi quickly explained.

Lu Yu narrowed her eyes, "My son is not a thief."

Mrs. Zhou was furious, "I think you are talking nonsense here! Come, come home with me!"

As for Mr. Fan, he had already given up his resistance at this moment, and he looked at Liu Chang who was beside him resolutely, "Your Majesty, if you think my strategy is useful, you can avenge me!!"

Liu Chang laughed.

ps: Compared with the high-ranking ministers, I am still suitable for writing about the sages.
