Destiny Only Han

Chapter 317 Lu Pheasant: The Line in the Hand of a Loving Mother
Sanchuan County, Luoyang.

The sun is shining brightly, and the blue is like washing.

Although there was a cold wind blowing outside the house from time to time, the palace in Luoyang City was as warm as spring.

When Liu Bang was stationed in Xingyang, he was squeezed out by Zhang Liang and Zhou Bo for quite a long time, and he was "rushed" from Xingyang City to Luoyang to cultivate.

So this former Zhou Tianzi's palace, and later Lubuweihou's mansion, became Liu Bang's palace again.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

After getting used to floor heating, the ondol can no longer satisfy him.

Therefore, under his transformation, the palace not only laid floor heating, rebuilt the sewer, but also replaced the windows from sheer curtains to glass.

It's just that Liu Bang was busy picking Han Xin in Dingtao, and the owner of Luoyang Palace was replaced by Lu Zhi who came from Liyang, Guanzhong.

Under the warm afternoon sun, after being cut off from the cold wind by the glass windows, Lu Zhi leaned on the chair by the window, lazily doing needlework, humming a few ditties from time to time, feeling at ease.

What she is busy at the moment is the sole of the shoe.

Well, it belongs to Liu Ying.

Mother hands line, wandering clothing.

It's just that the identity of their family is completely different from before, and the material and shape of the clothes have undergone earth-shaking changes.

To put it simply, not only Liu Ying, including her and Liu Le, the clothes on her body are no longer what one or two people can do.

So making two pairs of insoles for Liu Ying became the product of Lu Zhi's satisfaction with his mother's personality.

"Mom... where are you?"

At this moment, a clip sound came from outside the door, which made Lu Zhi's good mood disappear in an instant.

This is her daughter of the Great Resentment...

Liu Le pushed open the door of the palace with a touch, and after looking around for a while, he ran towards Lu Zhi in a hurry.

Lu Zhi took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Liu Le didn't care too much, she threw off her shoes and sat next to Lu Zhi, and took out a letter from the small bag hanging on her waist: "Letter from my brother!"

Lu's pheasant immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and Kazilan's big eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.

Wang Yanfei, who was standing on the sidelines, deliberately took a sneak peek, but didn't dare, so he silently put away Liu Le's throwing shoes, and put a pair of fluffy slippers at Liu Le's feet.

Although everyone is habitually walking around indoors with bare feet at this time, a pair of soft slippers can undoubtedly improve happiness a lot.

While reading, a dissatisfaction suddenly flashed across Lu Zhi's face.

Lu Ze's change of title to King Lu meant that their brothers and sisters would live far away from each other in the east and west. It would be much more difficult to meet each other than when Lu Ze was in Nanyang.

But this is also something that can't be helped. According to Liu Ying's explanation, Lu Ze is a nail nailed between the northern and southern princes and kings.

As long as he is there, Yingbo Hanxin, Zhang Ao, Pengyue, and Pengyue will not be able to connect together and have an impact on their own country.

Well, Liu Ying's words of praise for Lu Ze's greater ability and greater responsibility dissipated the dissatisfaction in Lu Zhi's heart, and then produced a touch of warmth.

They really are a family that loves each other!
As a result, this warmth quickly turned into overjoyed.

Liu Bang, the head of the pavilion at Sishang, who was like a grass mustard, may really be prosperous!
Liu Ying wrote in the letter that during the two days that Liu Bang had been staying in Dingtao, some people had already begun to persuade Liu Bang to change his title from King of Han to Emperor!
Virtue and the three emperors, the merits of the five emperors, is the emperor who is the emperor!
Although Lu Zhi was already prepared in her heart, she still felt dizzy in her brain and her heart was pounding when the situation came to an end.

Without him, if there is an emperor, there must be a queen!
And she, this low-level civilian girl, is about to become the first queen in history!
How can this make her not excited?
Just glanced at Liu Le who was sitting next to her with his legs crossed, holding a fruit plate and kneading pockmarked seeds, the joy in Lu Zhi's heart instantly turned into anger.

"Put the leg down for me, and try spitting the skin on the ground... The more you talk, the more energetic you are! Wang Yanfei, bring me the rattan!"

........................

Dongjun, Dingtao (now Heze, Shandong), Yang of Sishui.

In Liu Bang's palace-like tent, Han Xinyingbu and others walked out one after another.

Liu Ying walked around the confused Han Xin, pulled Zhang Liang and asked, "How is it? Do you agree?"

Zhang Liang shook his head lightly, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "How can I agree so quickly..."

What they said was exactly the request of Chu King Han Xin, Han Wangxin, Huainan King Yingbu, Liang King Peng Yue, former Hengshan King Wu Rui, Zhao King Zhang Ao, Yan King Zang Tu, and Lu King Lu Ze to make Liu Bang the emperor.

Although there is no fixed routine of three requests and three concessions at this time, it is normal to be modest once or twice.

Liu Ying nodded in agreement, and immediately followed Zhang Liang.

But his eyes involuntarily turned to Han Xin who was at the front of the crowd.

Depressed, decadent...

After Liu Bang "reappeared yesterday" that day, he took away Han Xin's power to lead the Qi army in one fell swoop.

After all, Han Xin is the king of Chu, and it is not a good name to lead the Qi army.

Among the allied forces, the Han and Qi armies are the most powerful. Now that Liu Bang has personally controlled these two armies, there will be no surprises in the position of emperor.

Ever since, under Liu Ying's suggestion, Liu Bang planned to select [-]% of the soldiers with a reward of two ranks or above from the Qi army of more than [-] to move to Guanzhong.

Well, along with their families.

There used to be a large population in Guanzhong, and there was no idle land in the wild. However, after experiencing the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the devastation of Xiang Yu, the most elite Xianyang area was dilapidated, and it would not be able to recover in ten or eight years.

Therefore, it is necessary to relocate the population from the outside, so that the basic plate of the Han Empire has the potential to crush the princes and states in the world.

The soldiers of the Qi army who moved in were all people with titles above the third rank.

According to the military merit system, those with titles can legally own slaves.

In this way, they say that they are private households, but they can actually be regarded as a small landlord.

If you compare them, they are equivalent to the soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty, or the knights of the fiefs in Europe.

Together with these Qi troops, plus those with high titles in the Han army, it only takes three to five years. When the war happens again, Liu Ying can at least mobilize more than [-] professional full-time soldiers!
If they find time to practice equestrianism in the past few years.

This also means that there can be [-] elite cavalry!

And what is the concept of one hundred thousand cavalry?

In 1206 AD, Genghis Khan established the Mongolian Empire and implemented the thousand-household system within the scope of his control.

There are 95 thousand households, one out of four, and the number of troops mobilized at one time is around 10.

And these [-] cavalry conquered a huge empire that even an eagle could not fly out of the border for a year.

Of course, the Mongols have a natural advantage in raising horses.

But in fact, it is different from what many people think. There are also many kinds of Mongolian horses. The short-bodied and rough-fed horses are actually just a helpless choice. They are usually only used as draft horses and provide milk and meat.

The main force in the battle of the Mongolian army was still the big horses raised on the meadows in the east of Mongolia, and the war horses captured from the official horse farms of the Kingdom of Jin.

Later, after the Mongolian cavalry invaded Central Asia, they quickly changed into a group of top horses such as Arabian horses.

Therefore, there is a record of almost invincible players in the world.

It was only later that they fell out with the four major Khanates, and the source of good horses was almost cut off. In addition, the Mongols continued to use the extensive breeding of their ancestors. Not only the Mongols, but also the horse breeds in the Central Plains also degenerated.

Liu Ying has been promoting polo, horse racing and other sports with gambling attributes, as well as bridging the black horses, in order to cultivate excellent horse breeds and prepare for the formation of the [-] cavalry.

The difficulty in raising horses among farming peoples is that people and horses compete for land.

When the yield per mu is limited, if the grain produced by the land is eaten by horses, people will starve.

But it is different now. In the era when the total population was only more than 1000 million, Liu Ying unlocked the big killer of corn in advance.

The reason why the production cost of agriculture has always been very low is that the rain, sunlight, wind, and insects needed for the growth of crops are actually provided by nature for free.

Especially sunshine.

The so-called photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert solar energy into organic matter. It can be said to be the source of energy for all things.

Plants absorb solar energy, herbivores eat plants, and carnivores prey on herbivores. This is the flow of energy in the circle of life.

The way humans cultivate crops is to use plants to convert the solar energy that humans cannot directly absorb into food that can be eaten by humans.

The light conversion rate of wheat is about [-]%, and some varieties of primitive rice are similar to this figure.

But corn is [-]%!

In other words, under the same planting conditions, the efficiency of corn to absorb sunlight is much higher than that of rice and wheat.

The yield per mu is naturally much higher.

The extensive promotion of corn planting not only provided food for the people of the Han Dynasty, but more importantly, other things derived from it.

Such as corn syrup, starch, such as what Liu Ying values ​​most, the feed for raising livestock and war horses!

It's a pity that the current domestic situation is still very complicated, and it is not suitable for directly fighting the Huns. Otherwise, with enough elite soldiers, as well as supporting horses and weapons and armor, it is not impossible to invite Mao Dun to dance in Chang'an.

But the old saying is good.

If you are poor, you will put aside disputes and develop jointly, and if you are rich, you will have an inherent territory since ancient times.

Liu Ying's plan is to temporarily maintain peace with the Huns, maintain trade, and then jointly develop the Western Regions.

At the very least, the Silk Road needs to remain open.

Hey, cantaloupe and grapes...Liu Ying raised her mouth slightly, saluted Zhang Liang and turned to leave.

Although Liu Bang rejected the request to become emperor, the Altar of Resignation needed to become emperor has been built seven or eight times under the supervision of Liu Ying.

ps: Change first and then change!
