Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 635 Farming

In the blink of an eye, the spring plowing season has arrived, and Hebei and Guanzhong are still in the midst of a severe drought.

However, there have been several consecutive rains and snowfalls in the Central Plains, and the land has regained its vitality.

The wilderness was full of busy people. Li Yue ordered the Black Cloud Army to take a rest and let them return to their hometowns for spring plowing. He got ten acres of land in the southern suburbs of Luoyang City and farmed the fields with the princes.

Cui Yansi continued to lead the female officials to weave in the harem.

"Father, my family is already rich in the world, why do we need to work in the fields ourselves?" Li Yi, the eldest son, was covered in mud and gasped.

"Who said the world is your home?" Li Yue stared at him.

I hang out with "celebrities" all day long, and my ideas are also influenced by them.

"The world belongs to the people of the world. If my family cannot benefit the people, it will be like the Qin and Han Dynasties back then!" Li Yue waved his hoe and dug the land.

The best way to educate is a father's personal actions and words and deeds.

"Emperor Hui of the former Jin Dynasty once heard the sound of shrimps and toads in Hualin Garden. He suddenly had a whim and asked the people around him whether the person making the sound was an official or a private person? People flattered him and said, "In official land, you are an official, and in private land, you are an official." Private. Afterwards, there was a famine in the world. Emperor Hui asked, why don't the people eat minced meat?"

Li Yue told a story by the way, and the absurdities in history books continue to be played out in reality.

Several children laughed.

But after laughing and thinking about it, they all became serious.

"If you don't plow the fields, you won't know the hard work of the people." Li Yue sighed slightly. Farming these days is really done by people.

Even with oxen and plows, I was exhausted.

However, in order to establish a positive image in front of his sons and set an example for the world, Li Yue had to persist.

Children of ordinary families go to the fields to help when they are five or six years old, and become laborers in the family when they are eleven or twelve years old.

Glancing at his sons, he saw that the eldest, Li Yi, was already fifteen, and Li You and Li Lun were both thirteen, and would be able to be crowned kings in two years.

However, Li Yue has already set the rules, and if he wants to be crowned king, he must pass an assessment.

At least three of the subjects of internal affairs, military affairs, martial arts, writing, arithmetic, and engineering must be at a passing level.

The title of king is not hereditary, but is reduced from generation to generation.

Of course, you can be a dandy if you want. As a royal child, there is no problem with food and clothing.

Among the several sons, the outstanding second eldest Li You, the fifth eldest Li Qian, the sixth eldest Li Tuan, and the prince Li Jian all have their own merits. The second eldest son Li Yi and Meng Kuan have been in the army for almost three years. He performed well. He started as an ordinary soldier and has been promoted to the commander of the village.

Meng Kuan was promoted to General Black Cloud because of his bravery and proficiency in battle. Qin Biao stated in his book that he had the potential to be an enemy of ten thousand people.

The two of them were already proficient in martial arts and familiar with the art of war. It took them three years to reach the rank of village commander and general of black cloud. This shows that Qin Biao did not take special care of them.

There may be one or two people in Lao Li's family who know how to fight.

Li Yue has just turned thirty-five this year. He often cultivates fields and practices martial arts. He is in good health. Daliang still has great potential for development, and there are many places where he can be crowned king.

After working all morning, the sons did not complain or complain about being tired.

A person's character can best be seen in labor.

Except for the eldest son, Li Yi, who can't keep up, the other sons are meticulous.

Li Jian just turned ten this year. He gritted his teeth and kept up, not falling behind others. The brothers cooperated with each other and managed to finish half an acre.

"Take a rest for an hour." Li Yue waved his hand. "Ha--" He looked exhausted just now, but he immediately became energetic, running around the fields, chasing hares, shooting birds, catching frogs and fishing, and was extremely happy.

The palace people and guards followed nervously.

Li Yue laughed. Children's nature is to have fun. It is enough for them to stay in the deep palace and the martial arts hall all day long.

"Your Majesty... There have been rumors in Luoyang recently that Murong Chui was in secret communication with Yao Chang, Fu Luo, and Fu Fang. It is said that he was secretly in contact with Murong De and Murong Kai..." Lu Qing took advantage of his free time to come and report.

"Is this happening?" Li Yue glanced at Lu Qing, "Have you found the source of the rumor? Who released it?"

"Never..." Lu Qing said cautiously.

It's not his fault. After the fall of Di Qin, Yang Lue went to Jingxiang without stopping, arranged in advance, and infiltrated the Jin army. There was no capable person in Luoyang.

"Do you think Murong Chui will start a rebellion?" Li Yue was in a good mood and asked casually.

"My minister... how dare you speak nonsense? However, if Murong Chui really wanted to cause rebellion, he would not have surrendered with the three counties of Taiyuan back then. He has always been cautious and should not be so stupid. Daliang has already unified the world, so what is the benefit of causing rebellion?"

Those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Lu Qing followed a group of human spirits and gradually became enlightened.

Li Yue nodded, "Yes, there is no need for Murong Chui to rebel."

Historically, Wang Meng's golden sword trick forced Murong Ling to death, leaving Murong Chui with a thorn in his back. Later, Fu Jian's Feishui army was defeated miserably and his strength was greatly reduced. He could no longer control all the forces in the country. Murong Chui escorted Fu Jian all the way back to Luoyang. Afterwards, he returned to Hebei to gather his old troops.

"If I dare to use him, I won't be afraid of him starting an army and causing chaos!"

Which dish should be served to whomever.

Li Yue trusted Wang Meng, Cui Jin, Zhou Qian, and Chang Wei unconditionally, while he used and defended people like Murong Chui and Cui Hong.

As long as it can benefit Daliang, we can use it. Who doesn't have some ambitions these days?

"Your Majesty, we have good news from the northwest. Murong Chui sent three thousand elite cavalry across the street pavilions and invaded Longxi. They burned and killed more than ten thousand Qiang people along the way. Yao Chang was so frightened that he abandoned Yongcheng and Chencang and retreated to Longyou. Fufeng County was already gone. Recover." Cui Hong came to report.

This is the only way to deal with Yao Chang. If his foundation is cut off, he will not be able to become rampant.

Jiang was still very old, so Murong Chui immediately found Yao Chang's weak point and took action decisively. His military strategy was inferior to that of Wang Meng. He was a rare handsome talent.

This is also the reason why Li Yue always reuses him.

"Does anyone still dare to say that Murong Chui rebelled?" Li Yue said with a smile.

"There is another piece of news. Murong De persuaded Murong Chui to raise troops, but he was captured alive. He was already on the way to the gate. This is Murong Chui's memorial." Cui Hong handed over the memorial with both hands.

Li Yue took it, glanced at it, and said without any nonsense, "Murong De has deceived the ministers into causing rebellion. Now he has captured it. Your Majesty will do whatever you want."

"Murong Chui... actually even captured his own brother..." Lu Qing said in surprise.

Murong's fratricide is an old tradition, and it is the same in every generation. At that time, Murong Han ignored the past grievances, pretended to be crazy for the Yan Kingdom, explored the mountains and terrain of the Yuwen tribe, and made great contributions to the Murong family's destruction of the Yuwen family. Murong Huang didn't kill him ?

When Murong Chui was in Yan State, Murong Jun tried to kill him several times...

Murong De persuaded Murong Chui to rebel at this time, but he actually had no good intentions.

With just a few thousand troops and a dilapidated Guanzhong, do you want to compete with Daliang?

The big joke of slipping the world.

"There is no need to escort him to Luoyang, he will be beheaded on the spot!" Li Yue didn't even want to see these clowns. "I will reward Murong Chui with five hundred gold, and make Murong Ling a regular attendant!"
