Destiny Only Han

Chapter 233 The son is not like the father?

Handan.

Liu Ying was sitting in the carriage burning with smokeless carbon, lying on the window and looking out.

As far as the eye can see, there is devastation.

He came all the way, although it is not that the bones of Zhao land are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, but in fact the difference is not too big.

On both sides of the road, Lifang is like ruins everywhere, with ragged, skinny residents who walk like ghosts.

There are thousands of miles of fertile fields, but the people are living in dire straits, which really makes people look at it and feel very uncomfortable.

Before coming to Zhao, although Liu Ying had no illusions about Han Xin, Zhang Er was still a very capable scribe in his impression.

Well, people like Han Xin belong to those who are good at commanding and leading troops to fight, but they are completely clueless in other aspects.

But Zhang Er was different. As a scribe and a magistrate of Waihuang County, he should have some ability in local governance.

However, if what Liu Ying saw along the way is true, it is not difficult to understand why Chen Yu only used the troops of three counties to overthrow Zhang Er, who owns a country.

Those who win the hearts of the people may not win the world, but those who lose the hearts of the people will definitely lose the world.

After a while, Liu Ying entered the city and entered the county guard's mansion, and greeted Zhang Er standing at the gate with the gift of a nephew.

This is because Zhang Er and Liu Bangnai are friends of the same generation, and they had a relationship in the past.

After Liu Ying straightened up, she looked around and couldn't see Han Xin, so she asked Zhang Er.

"The general went to inspect the river bank in the south..."

After Zhang Er briefly explained to him, Liu Ying understood.

Before Liu Bang took advantage of Xiang Yu's absence, he bullied Ji Bu and others a lot, but now that other parents have returned, they must find their way back.

But Liu Bang is so shameless, he retreated into Xingyang City with oil on his feet...

However, after Xiang Yu hit a snag a few times in Xingyang City, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​finding the place directly from Liu Bang.

His new target, of course, was Han Xin, who was located north of the river.

Liu Bang hit his general, then he will fight back as it is!

Moreover, solving Yingbu Hanxin first from the south to the north was originally a plan he had made a long time ago.

In this regard, Han Xin, who had just conquered Zhao Di, naturally did not dare to be careless.

After all, Xiang Yu's battle for fame was fought in Zhaodi.

If he explodes again, the car overturns and he will be bad...

Liu Ying and Zhang Er briefly said a few words, seeing each other's complexion was not good, and they often panted heavily, so they frowned and said:

"Uncle can be sick? Damn it, I shouldn't let uncle stand for a long time in such a cold day!"

Zhang Er waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just didn't sleep well, you have a heart..."

What he didn't say was that since Chen Yu drew his sword and killed himself in front of him that day, he would dream of Chen Yu's figure almost every night.

There are people who sing to each other over wine...

When avoiding the pursuit of the Qin army, sharing the last bowl of wheat porridge...

When the two sides broke up that day, the other side was full of sadness and tears...

But what's more, Chen Yu was covered in blood, just standing in front of him quietly, motionless, without saying a word...

It's just that these things are not humane.

After Liu Ying said hello to An again, she bid farewell to Zhang Er and prepared to leave for a house in the east of the city.

This is a house that Zhao Yao had prepared a long time ago when he came out to the front station. The transportation is convenient. Turn right when you go out, which is the main road running through the central axis of the city. What's more, there are not many residential houses around, which eases the security work in the future. great pressure.

As for his young army, except for a few hundred sons of Guanzhong Liangjia who have reliable identities and good fighting power, the rest are all stationed in abandoned houses outside the city.

Before going out, Liu Ying looked at his ears standing at the gate, smiled and stared at his open ears, and bowed to the ground again.

This obeisance can almost be regarded as farewell.

It was January of the third year of the Han Dynasty, which was 203 BC, and Zhang Er died in the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, which was 202 BC.

Well, the Han inherited the Qin system, with October as the beginning of the year.

…………

After Liu Ying left, Zhang Er was stunned for a while, and he began to miss his son.

Over the past few months, his health has deteriorated, and he has become more and more eager to be reunited with his family.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to follow Han Xin to the army.

Beside him, an old man with sharp wrinkles on his face also stared at Liu Ying's leaving carriage, and asked after a long time, "I don't know what my king thinks of the Crown Prince of Han?"

Zhang Er shook his head slightly and said, "A son is not like a father."

The old man was surprised: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Er said with a smile: "Gentle and courteous, isn't it true that sons are not like fathers?"

He and the old man looked at each other and smiled, recalling the time spent with Liu Bang when they were in Waihuang.

Well, this old man's name is Guan Gao, he is a disciple of Zhang Er's side, and he is also an old friend with Liu Bang.

It's just that now, Liu Bang, who is also a disciple of Zhang Er, has already become the king of Han Dynasty, and he is still only a disciple.

But Guan Gao is willing to do so, Zhang Er has enough points in him to be worth following for a lifetime, that's enough!

"Han Crown Prince has gone far away, the wind outside is strong, my king should go back to the house to rest..."

"Noisy."

…………

In the other courtyard in the east of the city, Liu Ying got off the carriage and sneezed hard.

Behind him, Han Tan, who is good at serving others, immediately took off a fox fur cape and put it on for him.

Liu Ying was not pretentious, she just tied up the cloak by herself, adjusted the tightness, and walked towards the courtyard.

The courtyard was as dilapidated as he had imagined.

But this is also impossible, either to live in this kind of house with a bed and a roof, or to live in a tent that needs to be laid on the ground.

Although the doors and windows cannot be completely closed here, it is still much better than a tent.

And Liu Ying can't live here for a few months. When the spring comes, the Han army in Hebei will go south in a big way and attack Qi with all their strength.

However, the hot kang magic horse is still needed.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yao had arrived here many days ago.

Well, not only Liu Ying, but also the rooms of the young soldiers who arrived with him were all equipped with heated kangs, but Liu Ying lived in a single room, while they lived in the collective dormitory Datong shop.

As the cold wind blew, Liu Ying felt the bitter cold in the north.

So he walked towards the bedroom, not forgetting to have his small table board brought in as well.

He has two things to do today, one is to cuddle up on the quilt and the warm kang, and write a diary.

Although serious people don't keep diaries, there is no other way, Lu Zhi wants to read them.

So his name is diary, which is actually a trip report.

The thread in the hand of the loving mother, the clothes on the wanderer's body, are tightly stitched before leaving, fearing that he will return later.

Although Lu Zhi no longer made clothes for him with his own hands, his mother's affection for her son has not changed at all.

This is also the reason why Liu Ying promised to write her a diary every day and send it back to Guanzhong.

Although the world is not peaceful now, his place is very safe.

Naturally, don't make others worry too much.

After writing what I ate, how much I ate, when I ate it, and when I met Zhang Er and was entrusted by the other party to ask Liu Taigong and Liu Banghao, I wrote it down.

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and waited quietly for the ink to dry up.

Although his handwriting is still the same as that of a dog, he believes that if these things are passed on to future generations, they must be priceless treasures!

After being narcissistic for a while, Liu Ying asked Han Tan to collect the letter and deliver it to the postman for delivery to Guanzhong.

Well, there is actually an interesting point.

That is, even in times of war, the roads are full of robbers who rob houses, but they will not attack the postman.

After a while, Liu Ying started to do the second thing.

He picked up the brush and wrote a line of large characters crookedly on the white paper spread out in front of him.

Yanzhao Wei Dynasty revitalization plan for the four regions.

In fact, the land of Hedong does not need much planning, just let nature take its course and wait for the population to multiply slowly.

There is the Shanxi of the later generations, with overlapping mountains, and most of the population is concentrated on those few basins. It only needs to maintain the water conservancy projects left by the Qin State, and not be shone by the flames of war.

In a few years, it will naturally become prosperous.

So Liu Ying's focus was actually on Yanzhao.

This place was a big granary in later generations, but in today's era of relying on the sky for food, although Yanzhao has a flat plain and the area of ​​the plain exceeds that of Guanzhong, the grain output is far inferior to the latter.

The reason is simple, there is no irrigation canal.

Before the invention of electric motors, the only way to irrigate farmland was to use the gravity of water flow to irrigate farmland, except for the Zhengguo Canal in Dujiangyan like Guanzhong Shu County.

In the case of a small natural height difference, building a reservoir like Shaopi is the right solution.

In the Huainan area represented by Jiujiang State, according to the statistical standards of Qin State, the irrigated fields here account for almost half of the country's total!
This is the reason why all the subsequent Huainan kings danced very much.

If you have money, you can burn it...

But the Yanzhao region, which is also a plain, has completely different points from the above two.

Judging from the data of later generations, the annual average rainfall here is not large, and the overall degree of drought is actually somewhat similar to that of the Middle East.

In the rainy season, the intensity of heavy rain is equivalent to that of many Southeast Asian countries.

This forms a very unique point.

The drought is severe, the rainstorm is concentrated, there are both water shortages and floods...

Of course, if there is no blood-sucking in a certain area in the later life, this place is still a very livable place.

So what Liu Ying imagined must be to build canals and reservoirs.

But that's a matter of ten or decades.

Some conspiracy theorists in later generations, when discussing the reason why Dayu came to power, said that he took the opportunity of flood control to control a large number of labor forces.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is worth learning from in this period.

Building water conservancy is a matter of mobilizing teachers and mobilizing the masses. What is needed is a big government that can penetrate to the end, mobilize all the people, and pool their efforts.

This is why Liu Ying dared to promise Xiao He to set up counties and counties here, so that the Han State could completely control Yanzhao.
