Dahan first prince

Chapter 230 Ying Bu is this, recognized an ancestor?

"Following the will of the former king Fuchai, restore the glory of the Wu Kingdom..."

"Hey······"

"hey-hey!"

A few days later, Fengyi Xinggong.

Looking at the briefing in her hand, there was only a strange sneer on Liu Ying's brows.

Raising her head slightly, and then looking at the "Written Calligraphy" that had already been laid out on the case table, the smile on Liu Ying's face only got worse.

——As expected by Liu Ying: After taking away Wuyi, the capital of Jingdu, with the surprise attack of "war without declaration", Yingbu still made up an indispensable procedure for the rebellion: widely spread the propaganda to the world.

As for the content of the call to action, there are not many new topics, such as "the emperor is not benevolent, seize the land of the princes", "treat heroes harshly, arrange princes with different surnames" and so on.

Liu Ying had the honor to witness similar things in her previous life, but she didn't arouse much interest at all.

On the contrary, a few days ago, in order to boost the morale of the rebels, Yingbo made the second "swearing-in" in Wuyi, which made Liu Ying feel amused.

Listen to what Yingbo said when he took the oath?
——Following the behest of the former king Fucha, restore the glory of Wu!

——Fuchai, the monarch who existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and was famous in history, was actually called the "prince king" by Yingbu!
It is true that simply looking back at the historical origins of the current Huainan Kingdom, that is, the two counties of Jiujiang and Hengshan, the geographical location of the Huainan Kingdom can indeed be regarded as the Wu Kingdom.

But the crux of the problem is: in today's world, there happens to be a descendant of Fuchai, the King of Wu, who is truly a fake, and he is said to be a widow in Changsha!

Even if it is to 'inherit the legacy of the former king' and 'restore the glory of Wu (Wu's)', it should be a direct descendant of Fuchai. Today's Changsha king Wuchen can do it, and it is impossible for Yingbu, a foreign surname, to do it. overstepping.

——You, surnamed Ying, said that you want to restore the glory of my old Wu family?
It is no exaggeration to say: Yingbo's move is almost the same as deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors, changing the family, and recognizing the ancestor Fuchai of the old Wu family as the ancestor, there is no difference!

What's more, Yingbo's move basically cut off the possibility of replacing Liu Bang, the current emperor, after his successful rebellion in a legal sense.

The reason could not be simpler: Yingbo today is holding up the banner of "recovering Wu"; although I don't know why, the Huainan army under Yingbo's control obviously agrees with this statement.

But in the end, if Yingbo really succeeded in rebelling and banned the current Liu Han regime, there would be basically no room for negotiation on the title of the new dynasty.

——Wu Chao!
And the crux of the problem lies precisely in this.

——The "Wu Dynasty" became the emperor of the "Great Wu", should it be Yingbu who "recovered the Wu Kingdom", or the direct descendant of Fuchai, the current Changsha King Wuchen?
This matter, let alone talk about it, Yingbo will never come back!

In other words: Nowadays, the banner of righteousness used by Yingbo to boost the morale of the Huainan army under his command basically cut off the future of Yingbo after his success.

What makes Liu Ying feel ridiculous is: With this nondescript move, Yingbo really raised the morale of the rebels...

"Um······"

"After this battle, it will be the 12th year of the Han Dynasty."

"Old man, I don't have a good life for a few days..."

Thinking secretly, the smile on Liu Ying's face disappeared quietly, replaced by an inexplicable depression.

Liu Ying was actually not much worried about the coming, or already coming, ongoing Huainan Wang Yingbu Rebellion.

Ge Yinbu's army, logically, can't find the slightest commonality with any successful rebellion in history.

——The banner of righteousness, what Yingbu held up was the weak "Chengzhi Fuchai, recovering Wu";
——For his rebellious actions, the explanation given by Yingbu is still unconvincing as "the emperor treats the heroes harshly";
Even the quality and quantity of the army, as well as geographical advantages, strategic advantages, and even the right time, location, and harmony of people, Yingbu is the same.

In comparison, the Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, which occurred decades later in history, may have been more powerful than the "farce" launched by Yingbo.

Not in a hurry for the immediate matter, Liu Ying's mind naturally focused on the more distant future.

Today, it is already July of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty.

According to the memory of the previous life, the old man passed away in April of the 12th year of the Han Dynasty.

Even in this life, Liu Ying took the initiative to invite Ying to fight against the rebellion, allowing the emperor Liu Bang to escape the arrow that consumed his last life force during the process of suppressing the rebellion, but in Liu Ying's view, this change does not make Liu Bang feel ashamed. There is not much left to prolong life for too long.

If there is no accident, the Han Dynasty will usher in the first handover of power no later than Jixia next year.

Before that day comes, Liu Ying still needs to use her status as the prince to make some planning plans that will not work in the short term, but will surely bear fruit in the future.

"Whoo~"

"One year..."

"No, less than a year."

When the time limit was mentioned by accident, Liu Ying's demeanor was suddenly filled with an inexplicable solemnity.

And this abrupt soliloquy also attracted Lu Shizhi who had been standing beside Liu Ying, waiting for orders.

"My family's intention: it took one year to put down the chaos in Huainan?"

A soft question finally brought Liu Ying back from her thoughts, and she cast a slightly guilty look on Lu Shizhi's surprised face.

"Uh······"

"No, no."

After murmuring vaguely for a while, Liu Ying finally waved her hand in a perfunctory manner.

"Guyi: It will take nearly a year for the Shaofu government to manage grain and rice before it can show initial results."

A little bluntly, she prevaricated what she had accidentally blurted out. Seeing that Lu Shizhi still had a little doubt on his face, Liu Ying only thought about it for a while, and asked along with the words.

"In the past few days, has there been any news from Guanzhong?"

As she spoke, Liu Ying simply got up from her seat and came to the Kanyu on the side of the hall, aimlessly looking at the topography at the turn of Jing-Chu.

But upon hearing Liu Ying's question, Lu Shizhi's originally slightly suspicious face was filled with a hint of secret joy.

——This time, when he was about to leave Chang'an, Lu Shizhi tried his best to get a general seal, so that he could get some martial arts by Liu Ying's side.

But to Lu Shizhi's helplessness, all his efforts were blocked by his younger sister Lu Zhi's words, "This time the expedition, but the prince is safe, so the elder brother will count the first."

If it were in previous years, no matter how tough Lu Zhi's attitude was, Lu Shizhi would definitely try again and strive to be in charge of a single army, even if it was a school lieutenant or a team of Sima.

But since Liu Ying was assassinated in Changling, Lu Shizhi clearly felt that the attention of his younger sister Lu Zhi had completely shifted from protecting the reserve to Liu Ying's own safety!

Speaking of the present, the last thing Weiyang Palace can mention is the assassination of the crown prince in Changling;

And if you want to say what is the most taboo thing in Weiyang Palace nowadays, it is undoubtedly 'strangers'.

——From the beginning of spring, when Liu Ying was assassinated in Changling, to Ji Xia, when Liu Yingdong left Chang'an and went to Fengpei, in just a few months, the maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace have changed several times!
In the past, those maids and eunuchs who served in the Weiyang Palace for several years, and even served directly beside Lu Zhi, were all investigated by the censor's subordinates!

But within the five generations of the ancestors, those who were good at using weapons were all driven out of Weiyang Palace without exception.

The lucky ones were sent to Changle Palace; the unlucky ones were sent directly to Changling, where they started to prepare for Liu Bang's wake in advance.

The queen's younger sister was eager to protect her son, even if Lu Shizhi felt unwilling, he had no choice but to give up the possibility of winning the army and accepted this task called 'protecting Liu Ying comprehensively'.

In the beginning, Lu Shizhi was really depressed for a while.

——This time to suppress the rebellion, Liu Ying has a total of 30 fighters alone!
Not to mention the pro-military commander beside Liu Ying, officially the number one swordsman in the world today: Qu Chenghou Chongda himself.

Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, and surrounded by a swordsman who is a master of swordsmanship, the matter of 'protecting the crown prince well' is not up to Lu Shizhi, an old relative who is over fifty years old.

But soon, Lu Shizhi was pleasantly surprised to find that besides the nominal "protection of Liu Ying", he had gained something else during his trip.

——Every correspondence received and sent, whether it was military reports, government affairs from the court of Chang'an, or even family letters from Queen Lu Zhi, Liu Ying handed over to Lu Shi without exception!
This trust alone was enough for Lu Shizhi to put aside all the grievances he had caused by not being able to take charge of the army before, and seriously became Liu Ying's Shang Shulang.

Even at this moment, when Liu Ying asked the phrase "what's the news in Guanzhong" very naturally, the raging fire that had been extinguished in Lu Shizhi's heart quietly lit up a little.

"If I have such a heart in my family, when I return to Chang'an, I may be able to find one of the nine ministers..."

"Um······"

"Shang Shuling..."

Looking forward to a smooth future in his heart, Lu Shizhi came to Liu Ying with a gentle smile, and put all the information in his mind in front of Liu Ying.

"Yesterday, the Prime Minister sent a letter: this year in Guanzhong, Dang Dafeng is coming soon!"

"According to Xiao Xiang, in northern Weibei this year, the millet seedlings are tall and strong, and the fruits are full and fruitful. Even along the Zhengguo Canal for dozens of miles, there are often millet seedlings that cannot bear the weight of the fruit, and the stalks are deeply bent and broken. .”

"According to the measurement of the agricultural registration officer of the Xiangfu, this year in Guanzhong, Weinan should still be a little less productive, with an yield of more than two shi per mu; however, Weibei, if it is even poor, should still have an yield of four and a half shi per mu!"

Speaking in an excited tone, Lu Shizhi couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.

"The Shaofu also said: If this year, Weibei can get four and a half shi of grain per mu, next year, the price of grain in Guanzhong can slowly drop to a thousand yuan per shi."

"Therefore, the Shaofu would like to invite the musicians: After the autumn harvest, what price should the Shaofu purchase rice for the people?"

Listening to Lu Shizhi's inexplicably excited tone, describing this refreshing picture, Liu Ying was only relieved, and there was a rare sense of relief on his face.

The two-pronged approach of grain protection price policy and grain government-operated policy can solve the basic survival needs of most bottom-level people in almost any era.

In later generations, food price protection, food government-run, and other large-scale state-run and government-run businesses also had another famous name.

--Planned economy.

However, today's Han Dynasty has too many similarities with the poverty-stricken period dominated by the planned economy of later generations...
"The yield per mu in Weibei is more than four and a half stones, and the stone is worth a thousand dollars, so it is still a bit more expensive."

"It is said that Shaofu: Autumn Harvest, Shaofu buys rice and grain for the common people, and it should be stone..."

"Well, I bought it for eight hundred renminbi!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Ying set out the purchase price of "[-] yuan per stone", and Liu Ying did not forget to add: "The purchase price is [-] yuan per stone; the product price is [-] yuan per stone."

"Another transfer to the Prime Minister's Office: When the Shaofu buys grain from the people, it should publish an official document on the Lubu of the counties and townships in Guanzhong, stating that the Shaofu buys grain from the people, and the price of the grain and the people."

"At the beginning of the new year and the tenth day of winter, we must let the people in Guanzhong know that the Shaofu will buy grain from the people at the price of [-] qian in stone; The price of the stone is [-] qian, and the goods are sold in the grain markets of the counties and townships in Guanzhong."

"The people in Guanzhong can store the grain they get in autumn with the Shaofu for later use; the Shaofu stores the grain on behalf of the people, and they will get a fee of [-]."

"If there is a surplus of food in the Shaofu, you can also send it to the Shaofu; if there is insufficient food, you can also buy the grain from the Shaofu and eat it."

In an inexplicably serious tone, he emphasized the content of these government-operated grain policies. After Lu Shizhi quickly recorded them, Liu Ying quietly had a hint of hesitation on his face.

But almost in an instant, the hesitation in Liu Ying's eyes was replaced by a touch of cunning.

"Uncle, please keep in mind: this matter should not be known to the kings of Chu, King Qi and other clans for the time being."

"The price of rice and grain purchased and delivered by You Shaofu, before the end of the year, must not be known to the princes of the Kanto..."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Shizhi stopped waving the pen rapidly!
He raised his head in bewilderment, and after seeing the deep meaning in Liu Ying's eyes, Lu Shizhi finally lowered his head silently.

"Hey, I'll just say..."

"The owner of the family was involved in the rice and grain business, but he almost died in Changling!"

"The kings of Qi and Chu have to dial Guan Zhongmi at home, so why don't they 'slightly' pay for it..."

When Lu Shizhi slandered, Liu Ying's eyes finally moved away from the Kanyu in front of him.

When Liu Ying turned around and looked at Lu Shi again, Liu Ying's expression suddenly showed a little bit of embarrassment.

For Liu Ying's strangeness, Lu Shizhi only regarded it as "that incident", which had already been heard by Liu Ying.

After a moment of tangled thought on his face, Lu Shizhi finally gritted his teeth and bowed to Liu Ying.

"There is one more thing, which should be reported to the family."

"——In the past ten months, there seemed to be rumors in Guanzhong, but it was said..."

"Yes, it is something that cannot be said and should not be said..."

"Ok?"

Hearing Lu Shizhi's words, Liu Ying was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly put aside the calculations in her heart, and cast a puzzled look at Lu Shizhi.

Seeing Liu Ying's reaction like this, Lu Shizhi wished he could slap his own mouth!
——Liu Ying's reaction clearly means that she doesn't know about it!

But the words were out of his mouth, no matter what, Lu Shizhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and put that chilling 'rumor' in front of Liu Ying.

"This, this matter, the servant of the minister's family personally informed the minister yesterday."

"I don't know the details of the situation, but I just say that since my family went east to Chang'an, there have been many 'auspicious omens' in Guanzhong."

"First, there was a report from Weibei to the court: On the Zhengguo Canal, there seemed to be a dragon appearing in the clouds;"

"Later, Xinfeng Ling personally played: the sweet spring came out of the back hall of the Liyang Palace, and it became a pool in an instant;"

"What's more, the three elders of Zhangjiazhai in Weibei personally wrote before your majesty: this year, there are hundreds of millet in Zhangjiazhai who have double ears..."

　Saorui~ I took a break for two days, went to the hospital to see the medicine, took a break by the way, and by the way smoothed my thoughts again.

　　Please support me a lot. I have been a bit ruthless in subscribing recently, and I am a little anxious.

　　Three more tomorrow.
