Chapter 34 End of the Year

The Wei family's revenge was settled. Although Wei Ji was still alive, he was not in a hurry. Now that Guanzhong has been decided, what is left to Ye Zhao is a ruined Guanzhong, with everything waiting to be developed. However, the so-called destruction and establishment of the destruction, a ruined Guanzhong just allows Ye Zhao's new policy to be carried out more smoothly in Guanzhong.

As the New Year approaches, Liu Wei, Cai Yan, Xiner, Ren Hongchang, Ye Zheng, Cai Yi and Liu Bian were also taken to Chang'an. It is undoubtedly novel for everyone who took the flying boat for the first time, especially Ye Zheng and Cai Yi, who were even more clamoring for the hope of riding again.

"Father, is this the power of craftsmanship you mentioned?" Ye Zheng looked at the huge flying boat. Compared to Cai Yi, who only knew how to play, Ye Zheng, who was already ten years old, had already begun to apply what he learned and explore the root of the problem under the guidance of Ye Zhao.

"Yes, this is the worker, scholar, farmer, businessman, if the people are full of their stomachs, the country should focus on agriculture. However, when agricultural development is enough to meet the needs of the people, and even a large amount of surplus grain appears, some labor can be released to engage in the industry and business industry. The world is changing every day. If you always look at the world from the perspective of your ancestors, you will eventually be eliminated by the times." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Ye Zheng nodded slightly, as if it made sense, but he couldn't say how it made sense, and Ye Zhao didn't continue to explain. He said too much and the child couldn't understand it. It would be better for him to slowly understand it.

Liu Wei, who was standing beside her, smiled and said, "Although this journey is not a hard time, it's cold and cold. Let's talk about it when I go home."

"Okay." Ye Zhao smiled and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness forgives your crime, your Majesty is tired for a long time."

"The Grand Marshal doesn't need to be like this." Liu Bian nodded, as if the filthiness in the past had never happened, but the crack that had appeared had been engraved in the hearts of the two of them.

Ye Zhao asked someone to escort Liu Wei and others back to the mansion first, while he took Liu Bian and his son into the newly built royal palace. Although he was a royal family, since he had been crowned as a king, he was not qualified to continue living in the palace according to etiquette and law.

The royal palace was rebuilt by Li Jue's general's mansion in the past. Ye Zhao ordered people to redecorate it. Compared with the past, it was less of the nouveau riche and more luxurious.

"Master Lao has trouble." Empress He was obviously quite satisfied with the new mansion and said to Ye Zhao with a smile.

"I have something to discuss with Your Highness and the Empress Dowager." Ye Zhao, Empress He and Liu Bian sat down separately and bowed to the two.

"The Grand Marshal has something to say, but it's okay to say it." He Hou nodded and smiled.

"I have submitted a memorial to the Xuchang court, hoping to support Your Highness as King Yong and take charge of the northwest area. The emperor has agreed that in the hope that you can take the banner of Your Highness, Your Highness can also open a government office from today." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"This is true!" Liu Bian's eyes lit up and he stood up and said.

"Dial!" He Hou glanced at Liu Bian, and Liu Bian sat down angrily.

Ye Zhao sneered in his heart. He didn't expect that the cowardly young man in the past would be so obsessed with power after being infected with power and could not see himself clearly!

He bowed and smiled and said, "Of course, I have always said one thing!"

Compared to Liu Bian's impetuousness, Queen He has experienced so many years of ups and downs, but he has to be much calmer. He smiled and nodded and said, "I am sure that the Taiwei is responsible for doing things. Since the Taiwei thinks it is feasible, then let the Taiwei be the leader according to the Taiwei's wishes."

"Mother Queen!" Liu Bian frowned and looked at Empress He, but was stopped by Empress He with his eyes.

"I obey the order." Ye Zhao bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take the leave first!"

"Taiwei, go slowly!" He Hou got up and prepared to see him off. Ye Zhao persuaded him to leave.

"My mother, I want to open a government office and build an office. What do you have to do with him Ye Zhao? Why do you want him to do it?" After Ye Zhao left, Liu Bian finally couldn't help but look at He Hou and said.

"What did my son learn from the Taiwei?" Queen He looked at Liu Bian disappointedly: "Who will listen to you when you open a government office and build a yamen yourself? The Taiwei asked Liu Xie to make you the King of Yong, but it was just to block the public. Let's look at the mansion, whether it is the guards of the royal palace, the cook or the maid, who really supports you? He just needs your name to attract talents from all over the world, and at the same time, he can be uncontrolled by the court. In the name of righteousness, you will be asked to open a government office and build a yamen. If one of the aides in this mansion is yours, they will be plotted against."

"Then why do you have to agree?" Liu Bian stared at He Hou in a daze and made a fuss for a long time. He was just a puppet, and he was even less comfortable than the wealthy prince before?

"Have you heard from the Grand Marshal?" He Hou sighed and said, "The imperial court has issued an edict. Even if my son doesn't respond, the Grand Marshal of King Yong will still use it. Tell you and me at this time, and you will also notify you and me."

"This..." Liu Bian looked at He Hou in a daze, feeling a little unacceptable: "Then what should I do?"

"How to do it before, how to do it in the future. The Taiwei of Shu has become vigilant about you. What you need to do now is to eliminate the Taiwei's vigilance. You are still young and a teenager younger than the Taiwei. As long as you live longer than him, one day, after a hundred years, there will be a chance. If you fight him head-on at this time, you will suffer the loss yourself!" Queen He said in a deep voice.

"A hundred years later...after!" Liu Bian widened his eyes in disbelief: "How long does it take to wait? Even if Ye Zhao is killed, Ye Zhao still has descendants!"

Ye Zhao was only 35 years old after the Chinese New Year, and was in his prime. Queen He said that this was to ask Liu Bian to endure Ye Zhao to death!

Not to mention whether he can survive Ye Zhao, even if he can, Ye Zhao's heir is already ten years old. If he can tolerate Ye Zhao to death, could he still endure Ye Zheng to death?

"Ye Zhao is a genius, and his son may not be like Ye Zhao!" Empress He sighed. What could she say? Now Ye Zhao is in power. Guanzhong and Shu are all Ye Zhao's world. In Shu, there are no civil servants and military officials in Guanzhong. Liu Bian has no chance to contact him. What's more, even if he can convince one or two generals to fall to this side, Empress He has inquired about Ye Zhao's tent, in addition to the military generals guarding the border, there are only personal guards around him, and he does not control the army.

He has no military power in his hand, and no matter how many ideas he has, it is just an idea. Ye Zhao did not leave any chance for Liu Bian. What should he use to fight with others?

He Houyi's daughter couldn't think of any good way, so she could only pin her hopes on Ye Zhao's descendants.

"Anyway, my son must live well, and then have a prince with Concubine Tang, and teach him well. I will ask Mr. Cai to teach him. Even if my son cannot defeat the Ye family, he must give his grandson this ability. If Mr. Cai can teach a Yehou, he will definitely teach a talent like Mr. Ye!" Queen He thought.

Liu Bian: "..."

...

"Lord, is there some animal husbandry that has been divided into 30% of the fertile soil in Guanzhong?" In the Taiwei Mansion, as the New Year was about to pass, Ye Zhao, Xi Zhicai, and Li Ru had already begun to naturalize the development of the next year.

Now that Guanzhong is pacified, the future development of agricultural direction will be the foundation that determines the future of Guanzhong. Food is the most important thing for the people, and food will always be the first priority. Ye Zhao promotes breeding and animal husbandry, and no one objected to this, but using a large amount of land for breeding is a waste.

"It depends on how it is divided!" Ye Zhao circled a circle on the map, marking Jingzhao, Fufeng, Hedong, Zuo Fengyi and Hongnong and said: "The land of these five counties has fertile water and soil, and it can be achieved twice the result with half the effort by planting. However, like the five counties in Longyou, the land is thin and the arable land is small. Moreover, the soil strength is insufficient every year. Even if it is planted, the grains are not enough to fill the stomach. It is better to use these areas as a breeding and animal husbandry. On the one hand, it can produce a large amount of meat, and on the other hand, it can slowly restore soil strength."

"Besides, the population of Guanzhong is only 2 million. With the fertile soil of Jingzhao and other places combined with manure, the food produced is enough to be self-sufficient and even have a surplus. In addition, it can also be adjusted before the population is not dense."

Regarding soil strength, it is actually natural fertility in the soil. Before the emergence of manure, people have actually discovered that even the fertile land will gradually weaken if planted for a long time. However, there was no special statement at that time. Since the emergence of manure, some experienced and cultural farmers have begun to summarize some experience. Now, there are special books to refer to in Chengdu Academy. Now, Ye Zhao can understand it.

"In addition, some vegetables cultivated from Shuzhong will be tried here. In short, Guanzhong is now dilapidated, but it also has the benefits of dilapidation. We can have a lot of idle land for some experiments." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"What the lord said is not without reason." Xi Zhicai nodded when he heard this. In fact, not to mention that the five counties can produce their own grain, even if they cannot, the agricultural system in Shuzhong has now been formed, and the annual harvest is enough to feed the people of the two states.

Moreover, the role of meat eating has gradually been discovered that the soldiers under Ye Zhao are generally strong and can see things at night, and high-intensity training can also be supported. This is the result of the supply of meat and some fruits and vegetables in the army at all times, let alone the elite troops among the army.

Nowadays, if the newly surrendered Xiliang Army is not counted, the soldiers in Ye Zhao's army will be placed in the vassal army. Even ordinary soldiers are elite soldiers in the vassal army, but the expense of supporting these troops is more than five times that of the same number of vassal army.

In addition, with the increasing variety of foods, the diet in Shuzhong has begun to diversify. Anyway, Xi Zhicai has been in Shuzhong for so many years and has gained a lot of weight. And he is able to quit the Hanshi Powder, thanks to these delicacies.
