People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 268 New Left Feng Yi, New Right Fufeng

Li Yao knew that Zhong Yao would not leave easily now, but there was still a long way to go for this person to work for him sincerely.

But as long as they are getting stronger and more powerful, these people will have no motivation to get off the boat. After all, they are going against the sky, and there is only one Zhuge Liang who does this kind of thing.

Let Zhong Yao be the Minister of Shangshu first, let him familiarize himself with his subordinates, and see the situation before appointing him.

Unknowingly, the time has come to September, and there are two important tasks at this moment, one is to prepare for the autumn harvest, and the other is to prepare for the autumn planting.

The climate in Guanzhong is suitable, and grain can be grown twice a year. As an agricultural society, it is a big deal to grow and harvest grain every spring and autumn.

Just at this time, people from Liangzhou also came, and Li Yao went to greet them in person. In the north of Chang'an City, Li Yao met Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze.

Li Yao smiled from the bottom of his heart, very happy:

"Uncle is willing to send you here, I am not alone in Chang'an!"

When Zhao Yang saw Li Yao, he was also very happy and said:
"We were also very surprised when we heard the news. You have made such a great career in Guanzhong, and then Father hurriedly let us go!"

Zhao Ze said at this moment:

"Uncle is still outside the Great Wall, fighting against the ancient Qiang tribe there. Armor, knives, bows, crossbows, horses... can't be transported in large quantities. This time we only brought [-] cows and [-] rock salt!"

Li Yao was not sorry to hear that, on the contrary, he was very happy that the cattle could speed up the reclamation of wasteland and land, and the salt was directly linked to the money.

Then he said:

"It's enough to have you all, go to the city, we'll talk about it in detail when we go to the city, by the way, now I've taken the word, Zisheng!"

Zhao Yang was a little surprised, but then he laughed and said:

"I'm Bo'an!"

Zhao Ze also went on to say:

"I'm Zhong'an!"

With that in mind, Li Yao took his two cousins ​​into the city and went all the way back to his mansion. He arranged for his servants to prepare the food and drink, and then he talked to the two of them about the old days.

He talked about some recent things. For example, there are always people against him in the court, so he directly asked the emperor to study medicine. As a result, Zuo Fengyi, Song Yi, and You Fufeng, Wang Hong, were planning to rebel...

Zhao Yang, Zhao Ze, were dumbfounded, Zhao Yang shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Zisheng, you're a little...too bold, that's the emperor, you let him study medicine!"

Zhao Ze nodded in agreement:

"I think Zisheng did the right thing. Those courtiers have always hated us Liang people. If you let them teach His Majesty, Your Majesty will also hate us. Let Your Majesty study medicine first, and then we invite some Liangzhou famous people to teach. After that, His Majesty will trust us more and use us Liang people more!"

Li Yao smiled and said nothing, he was planning to change the dynasty, and he didn't intend to assist the emperor all the time, but it's hard to say this now, until it finally comes to fruition.

Then Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze also took turns telling him something about Liangzhou:
"Uncle sent troops out of the Great Wall many times, plundering tens of thousands of people, which greatly increased the production of salt and iron. However, the ancient Qiang outside the Great Wall were furious and directly united to invade the border. Uncle is not afraid of them. Our army is all well-equipped with armored cavalry, swords, guns, bows and crossbows. It didn't take long to send them back outside the Great Wall. Not only that, but also personally led troops to pursue them outside the Great Wall. The climate outside the Great Wall is harsh and the terrain is difficult, but the wilderness is vast and suitable for grazing. As the cultivated land in the Great Wall increases, grass Uncle doesn’t intend to let go of those pastures beyond the Great Wall…”

"Your two younger brothers are also very good. Li Lin re-established the horse farm in Shandan. Now there are more than 20 horses. In three to five years, the young horses will grow up and start serving. In Liangzhou, there are 10,000+ elite riders. Three horses for one person, two horses for one person, will be very common..."

"In Juyan, the northernmost place, Li Yan repelled the Hu people in the north several times, crossed the Khan Mountain in one chase, and hit Lady Fan's city. If it wasn't for the poor logistics and lack of siege equipment, he would be able to occupy a stronghold outside the Great Wall..."

"Now that the four counties in Hexi have been brought under control, my father has become ruthless. Your third younger brother will personally clean up a batch of moths in the government. There are also disobedient local magnates, uprooted and exterminated. The rest will be obedient. How many fields and how many tenants there are, they are all clearly explained, and the tax they should pay is as much as they want..."

"The people who came with us this time include He Luan from Zhangye and Huang Hua from Jiuquan...they are all very capable people..."

Having said that, the two of them looked at each other, and then Zhao Yang took out a few letters, all of which were made of paper, extremely light and easy to carry.

Zhao Yang handed over the letter and said:

"Here are things written to you by my father, some written by my aunt, and some written by your wife and concubine!"

Li Yao received the letter, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart, but he endured it, put away all the letters, and said to his two cousins:

"Everything is fine in Liangzhou, then I can work in Guanzhong with peace of mind. The court and the emperor must be in our hands. This is the key to the rise of our Liangzhou people..."

"Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng, these are the three most important places in Guanzhong. As Jing Zhaoyin, I can basically control Jingzhao..."

"But Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng have never been able to find suitable candidates. Song Yi and Wang Hong are in front. They still want to rebel..."

"Now that the two elder brothers are here, I would like to ask you to be Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng. Our brothers will work together to truly control the Sanfu. With you here, and our Liangzhou scholars as subordinate officials, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng, and my Jing Zhaoyin, Guanzhong will be completely stable!"

Li Yao trusted Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze very much, firstly because of his reliability, secondly because of his ability. When Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu raised their troops, Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze also participated, and later they occupied Jincheng. Because of the lack of manpower, they basically went wherever there was a need. The army went to the army when needed, and the government went to the government when needed. There was basically no problem with handling military affairs and government affairs.

Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng, are they petty officials?Absolutely not!
Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze were shocked when they heard this, and then they could understand their cousin's current status in the court.

They also have ambitions. Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze, who came from Liangzhou, Jincheng, and Poqiang, the most remote places in the Han Dynasty, also have the same desire for power as Zhao Xian.

Zhao Yang said gently:

"We are all here, so naturally we have to do our best to help!"

Zhao Ze said confidently:

"Don't worry, Zisheng, handling the affairs of a county will be no problem for us. In the future, Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng will definitely help you take care of it in an orderly manner!"

Li Yao nodded upon hearing this:

"Let's live in my mansion today. Tomorrow I will introduce to you some of my current right-hand men. I will also introduce to you the situation of Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng. Feel free to mention it if you need it!"
