Chapter 574
It was only when Zhang Ou and his party came to the city that they realized that the king was not in the palace.

After asking, I learned that the autumn harvest is busy, and the king has already gone to the field to supervise the autumn harvest.

Not only the king, almost everyone in the palace went to Xiatian to be busy.

Hearing this, Zhang Ou, Zhang Tang and others were greatly shocked.

They have lived in Chang'an for a long time, so they naturally know the virtues of princes.

Let alone persuading farmers to teach mulberry, some people have never even seen what the fields look like.

Even the crown prince, Liu Rong, spends his whole day flying around trying to win over his party members.

Zhang Ou and Zhang Tang looked at each other, and immediately turned around, "Let's go and have a look!"

seeing is believing.

What happened to Prince Sheng had to be seen with his own eyes.

Going out of the city all the way to the palace to seal the fields, the eyes are full of joy of harvest.

The heavy ears of wheat, rice, and corn are densely connected into pieces, and all you can see is the brilliant golden color that represents the ability to eat.

There are many people working in the fields, but no one with luxurious clothes has been seen.

The palace attendant who led the way hurried forward and ran into the field, and ran to the barefoot figure in sackcloth and trouser legs.

He muttered a few words and pointed in the direction of Zhang Ou and others.

"This is King Zhongshan?"

Seeing Li Yunze walking towards him with big strides, Zhang Tang was greatly shocked.

He never thought that the high and mighty prince would actually be able to work in the fields.

Zhang Ou, with a serious face, asked in a low voice, "Is there any news about my coming to Zhongshan Kingdom?"

Zhang Tang froze for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head, "Minggong set off on a temporary basis, and the journey was light and easy. I didn't reveal anything about my whereabouts on the way."

Hearing this, Zhang Ou's complexion relaxed, and he said with emotion, "Both the late emperor and the emperor admired simplicity, and devoted themselves to accumulating national strength for the country. I thought that the princes would no longer do this kind of beauty, but I never thought about it."

There is no need to say the following words, but the meaning has been clarified.

The two emperors under the rule of Wenjing are really rare in all dynasties.

Emperor Jing is not that exaggerated, and he still has some expenses in life.

But at Emperor Wen Liu Huan's place, it was true that he lived penny by penny, and worked hard to save money, food and national power for the big man, looking forward to revenge against the Huns one day.

It's a pity that the hard and simple style in history is out of gear when it comes to Xiaozhu.

When Emperor Wu spent money, it was really like flowing water.

He often rewards hundreds of millions, not to mention spending money for war, he also builds palaces on a large scale, and even seeks longevity to cultivate immortals.

Really, it's hard to say.

Li Yunze, who was barefoot, strode forward with an iron sickle in his hand, "Which one is Mr. Zhang?"

Although both Zhang Ou and Zhang Tang had the surname Zhang, everyone knew who Li Yunze was calling.

Zhang Tang took a step back calmly, and Zhang Ou stepped forward to salute with a smile, "Minister, Zhang Ou. Greetings to the king~~~"

"Mr. Zhang doesn't need to be too polite."

Li Yunze, who was also smiling, stepped forward to help him up, "I don't know Zhang Gongyuan is here, this place is really inappropriate."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong."

Zhang Ou said seriously, "Crops are everywhere, and the grains are plentiful. This is the most beautiful place in the world, and there is no more suitable place."

"Hahaha~~~"

Li Yunze laughed and nodded, "What Mr. Zhang said is true. Let's go back and hold a banquet after this land is collected."

Zhang Ou said hastily, "The autumn harvest is a big matter, and the king doesn't need to worry about me. I wonder if I can go to the fields to help?"

"It's good to be willing to help."

Li Yunze took the water ladle handed over by the servant, and drank it dry, "Come if you want to."

After that, he turned around and returned to the field to continue wielding the sickle proficiently.

Zhang Ou and the others also packed their robes, took the tools from the attendants and went to work in the fields.

"Minggong."

Zhang Tang, who bent over to harvest, was amazed, "I have seen that people here use iron sickles."

"Ah."

Zhang Ou nodded in response, "It's not just the land closure, almost all the fields are made of iron. Unexpectedly, Zhongshan is so rich."

"Let's wait for the subordinates to inquire about one or two."

After a short time, Zhang Tang ran back and said to Zhang Ou, "Duke Ming, you have already found out. Your Majesty gathered the blacksmiths of the Mountain Kingdom to serve as supervisors, and made iron farm tools day and night."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tang showed admiration, "And it doesn't need money, and it is directly lent to the people of the country."

Thoughtful Zhang Ou glanced at Li Yunze's back not far away, and nodded.

After a while, Zhang Ou asked again, "Do you know the yield per mu here?"

Zhang Tang immediately stood up straight, narrowed his eyes slightly and used some military skills.

"Ming Gong, although I don't know the specifics, it should be above Erhu!"

In terms of productivity and technological level in the early Western Han Dynasty, the yield per mu was about one dendrobium.

The upper-class fields can have more than a few buckets, and some of the lower fields even only charge seven or eight buckets.

It is true that two dendrobiums are produced per mu.
"This great king is really a strange person~~~"

When the harvest was over, everyone returned to the palace in the city.

Li Yunze arranged a dinner for Zhang Ou and others.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with both beef and mutton.

Moreover, it was sprinkled with spices and unknown condiments, and Zhang Tang and others who ate were sweating profusely and drank water.

"This thing is called Pepper."

Li Yunze made up a story with a smile, "This king seized it from the Nasangda Department. It is said that he robbed a caravan from the Western Regions. No one knows exactly where it came from."

Zhang Ou and the others nodded repeatedly. Anyway, they didn't know anything and just ate.

The supply of meat is plentiful, and there is no shortage of drinks.

The only regret is that there is no singing and dancing to add to the fun.

Don't talk about singing and dancing, after Zhang Ou entered the palace, he didn't even see a few of the maids serving him.

Zhang Tang inquired and found out that the king has never been indulging in beauty since he entered the feudal kingdom, and he is busy improving the national power all day long, so that the lives of the people and the heads of state can be better.

There was never a single beauty in the palace, and the only maids in the palace were all brought over from Chang'an City.

This kind of behavior made Zhang Ou's evaluation of him even more up-to-date.

After drinking and eating, everyone rested.

Li Yunze didn't ask Zhang Ou what he was doing here, he just came here for the first day, so getting a good rest first is the main issue.

Back in the arranged room, Zhang Ou lit expensive candles, spread out the bamboo slips and prepared to write a memorial.

Zhang Tang's call came from outside the door, and after answering the call to let him in, he saw Zhang Tang walking in with a stack of white papers in his arms.

"Minggong."

Zhang Tang put the white paper on the table, "The servants in the palace sent it, saying it is more convenient than the bamboo slips."

"This thing is white paper."

Zhang Ou smiled and stretched out his hand to take it, "I saw it when I was in Chang'an City, but the gold is very expensive."

When Zhang Tang said goodbye and left, Zhang Ou studied ink and picked up a pen.

"Minister Zhang Ouzuo told the emperor Zhongshan that the country's agriculture and mulberry are prosperous, the industry and commerce is prosperous, the prince is better than diligence and thrift, caring for the people and thriving the crops, drumming craftsmen. Don't like extravagance, and don't indulge in wine and beauties."

Although it was only the first day, Zhang Ou was very touched by what he saw and heard.

Such an outstanding prince was entrusted to the Zhongshan Kingdom, it is really too humiliating.

The ministers of this era still have a bottom line, unlike those later generations who only talked about interests without a bottom line.

Most of them have the righteousness to truly consider for their family, country and the world, and they are completely different from Donglin's big turban and others.

Such people gradually disappeared after going south several times in the late Han and Tang Dynasties.

Most of the people who got up after that were Qin Hui and Qian Qianyi.

Because all those with backbone died in battle, and those who survived were villains, which is sad and deplorable.

The next day Li Yunze didn't go to work in the fields, but put on the king's robes, and received Zhang Ou and others in the main hall of the palace.

Now we can get down to business.

"Mr. Zhang is here, why?"

Zhang Ou didn't mean to hide it, and immediately responded, "This minister is here to choose a queen for the king. In fact, he is here to investigate the matter of the king's private departure from the fief and entry into the Huns."

He was so calm, and Li Yunze didn't intend to hide it.

The local responded, "The thing about going out of the fortress is true."

Immediately, the relevant process was described in detail.

Zhang Tang on the side wrote it down in detail.

When Li Yunze said that he led five hundred soldiers from the county to defeat a thousand cavalry, and even launched a night attack to directly destroy his tribe, Zhang Tang's hand trembled unnaturally.

The ink fell on the white paper, staining a black spot.

Zhang Ou also looked at Li Yunze in amazement, the shock in his heart couldn't be more shocking.

At this time, the Han army was fighting with the Huns, and they were basically invincible when defending the city, so the Huns did not let the Huns capture a few cities.

When fighting in the field.
Not to mention the Battle of Baideng, but Li Guang, the prefect of Shangjun, has always won fewer victories and more defeats in field battles.

But even so, Li Guang was also called a famous general by the world.

This is not to say that the Han army cannot fight.

On the contrary, the combat effectiveness of the Han army far surpassed that of the Huns.

The only reason is that the Han army is dominated by infantry, while the Huns are almost all cavalry.

On the vast prairie, infantry and cavalry confront each other, and there are really not many who can win.

The Huns just flew kites and kept harassing them.

The Han army wanted to chase but couldn't catch up. No matter whether they advanced or retreated, they were harassed and harassed. They didn't fight you head-on at all.

But the Huns can take turns to rest and recharge their batteries.

When the Han army can't take it anymore, they will attack and defeat them in one fell swoop.

This situation will not undergo a fundamental change until the Empire double walls come out, use cavalry against cavalry, and at the same time focus on the tribal camps of the Huns, forcing the Huns to fight head-on.

At that time, it was the Han army chasing the Huns and fighting.

Li Yunze was able to win a complete victory with step-breaking cavalry when the number was far smaller than that of the opponent, and even wiped out his tribe. This ability is definitely quite outstanding.

Even if the scale of this encounter is small.

Zhang Ou eagerly asked for relevant details, and even asked Li Yunze clearly about how to arrange his troops.

Li Yunze didn't take the trouble, and described the relevant procedures proficiently, like a general who has led the army for many years.

After listening carefully, Zhang Ou simply closed his eyes.

"Both civil and military!"
