Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 699 Tian Jiumi

Although Jia Xian concealed it very well, how could he escape Ye Chen's eyes? Ye Chen is not surprised that Jia Xian has such thoughts.However, Jia Xian obviously had a different opinion, but he didn't dare to continue, which made Ye Chen feel a little emotional.With the continuous growth and promotion of his authority, status, and power, even today, as long as he is willing to act arbitrarily, no one dares to violate it.Such a phenomenon is naturally not a good thing. We must know that everyone makes mistakes. When a government or a country worships the king or leader too much, it is easy to make some extreme mistakes.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen has already flashed countless thoughts. He is not a saint or a great man. Even a saint or a great man makes mistakes, so if he wants to build a country with long-term stability, it will be more stable than the inheritance of feudal dynasties. Longer, from top to bottom, from the king to every small official, there must be as sound a supervisory judiciary as possible. The Supervision Department of the Huaxia Weifu will naturally be independent, but this is not enough.For example, the administration and the judiciary must be separated. Local officials in charge of administration have no direct relationship with officials at all levels in charge of the judiciary, let alone any conflicts of interest. They are two completely independent systems.

"The villain pays homage to the lord." Tian Jiumi came, and as soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down to Ye Chen excitedly, respectfully, and fearfully, not even daring to look at Ye Chen's face.

Ye Chen hadn't met such ordinary people for a long time. Looking at Tian Jiumi's excitement, respect and fear, he remembered that an old man like Jia Xian had started to be cautious about him just now, and his heart became more emotional.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, my lord!" Tian Jiumi stood up, but still lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said: "Raise your head."

Tian Jiumi hurriedly raised his head as he said.Only then did Ye Chen see from his appearance and skin color that this person was a typical wealthy family or small landlord.

Ye Chen said: "Master Zhang recommended you to this king, and he said that you are good at farming."

At this time, Tian Jiumi gradually calmed down from the excitement of seeing Ye Chen, and expressed his gratitude to Ye Chen's appreciation and Zhang Bo's recommendation with winking eyes. Ye Chen got a talent, and Zhang Bo got a talent. Favor --- the fairest trading model in this era.Who is willing to get up early if people are not for themselves?If you don't follow this rule, Ye Chen won't have to expect anyone to recommend talents.At the beginning of Ye Chen's founding of the country, what Ye Chen needed most were talents from all walks of life.

"The villain is from Huizhou, heir to farming and studying..."

Several generations of the Tian family worked hard and saved some money. When Tian Jiumi's father took advantage of the natural disaster, he bought hundreds of acres of good land. He was considered a good family in the village, and of course he rose from the peasant class to a landlord.

"Little man Kaimeng..."

The old man had Tian Jiumi, his only son, at the age of 30. He has always been a sweetheart, and he wanted Tian Jiumi to study hard and make a name for himself. Private school reading.

"The villain accidentally saw his wife taking a bath and was expelled from the school..."

This guy was good-looking and tall, so he was seduced by his wife, but before anything happened, he was denounced by his classmates.

"The villain has since returned home to farm..."

Tian's father was heartbroken, and he was reluctant to scold Tian Jiumi, so he had to take him back to the village to work as a farmer, planning to find him a daughter from a good family and give birth to some grandchildren.

"The little man gradually became fond of farming. He studied the seasons, and according to the annual climate change, accurately planted the time, and collected the same kind of grain seeds for trial planting. After three years, the harvest of the small man's good field was [-]% higher than that of other fields. Five years later, The people in the whole village learned the seasons and methods of the villain to cultivate the land, and bought the crops grown by the villain. From then on, the harvest in the whole town was [-]% higher than that of other places. The bully of the Huizhou family wanted to press the villain for the secret of growing grain, In the end, there was a conflict, the villain accidentally wounded someone and became disabled, and finally dispersed his family's wealth, only to escape from prison..."

"The villain reclaimed fertile land in the wasteland. Alone, he worked hard for three years to reclaim more than 30 mu of land. Unexpectedly, the government took it as official land without a certificate. From then on, the villain became a tenant of official land in Huizhou."

This Tian Jiumi has studied and likes to delve into research. He is a talent, and his life experience is more tortuous compared with ordinary people. He thinks he can endure hardships and has a strong will.Ye Chen was very satisfied after hearing his experience, this is exactly what he wanted to find talents.But he naturally couldn't listen to Tian Jiumi's own one-sided words, and turned to look at Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo understood, and immediately said: "My lord, don't worry, Tian Jiumi's past subordinates have asked Master Hu to mobilize the intelligence department's spies to investigate clearly, which is basically consistent with what he said."

Ye Chen nodded slightly to express his satisfaction. Tian Jiumi was overjoyed immediately, but tried his best to hide it.Ye Chen said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhang has taken you for more than a month to see the Yellow River Basin under my rule. How much good land can be cultivated in your opinion? How many of them are suitable for planting wheat, and how many are suitable for planting Rice?"

Tian Jiumi hurriedly said: "My lord, according to the villain's calculations, the undeveloped land in the Yellow River Basin under the lord's rule can reclaim 500 million mu of fertile land in Dahong. As long as the canals are repaired, one-third of it can be planted with rice." , Others can be planted with wheat. Other mountainous areas can be reclaimed into terraced fields. According to estimates by the villain, it is about 40 mu to 60 mu.”

Such a result was not beyond Ye Chen's expectation, even much less than he imagined, but considering the tools used to cultivate fertile fields and build canals in this era, Ye Chen was relieved.Later Ningxia was the largest grain and rice base in Northwest China.Even Ningxia rice has a strong flavor and moderate hardness and softness. It is exported to all parts of the country and is very famous.

Tian Jiumi is a very conscientious person who speaks well and has some guts. He is not a pure researcher and technical talent, but a dual-purpose talent who can do things.Ye Chen smiled and said, "You did a good job."

Tian Jiumi hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord is absurd, the villain is just doing his best and doing things diligently."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Tian Jiumi, go down with Mr. Zhang! Work hard, and after a few days, this king will give you a suitable official position."

Tian Jiumi trembled with joy, knelt down and said, "Thank you, my lord, I swear to be loyal to my lord."

Ye Chen sighed in his heart, his status has reached his current level, sometimes just a word can make people swear allegiance to the death.

After sending Zhang Bo and Tian Jiumi away, Ye Chen asked someone to call Hu Sanguang again, and ordered: "Send a letter to Xu Xuan of Lanzhou, telling him that Lanzhou is hanging out alone, and the maintenance of stability should be the top priority. Tell Xu Xuan, my king Hand over Lanzhou to him. Be sure to give me a good look. In the future, we will march westward and send troops to the Western Regions. Lanzhou's position is very important. Although Lanzhou is occupied by us now, it really doesn't mean that it must belong to us. It must be To win the hearts of the people, to win the support of the aristocratic families, don't be rigid in doing things, but know how to change things."

"Yes! This subordinate will make arrangements now." Hu Sanguang.

As soon as Hu Sanguang left, Yang Jiye came in with five people and reported: "My lord, the old man brought the person you wanted."

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh, do they all meet the requirements?"

This is a major event, and it was Shangguan Bingyun's opinion to Ye Chen, and the specific plan was also made by Shangguan Bingyun.

Yang Jiye said with a low smile: "Don't worry, my lord. These five people's ancestral home is in the Western Regions, and they all have foreign blood. They have all married and established businesses in the states under the lord's rule. They have wives and children. They are not afraid of disagreements. Moreover, they are brave in combat, alert and clever. They have all stayed in Longyou and the Western Regions, and are familiar with the people's customs and geography there, which is exactly what the prince wants."

Ye Chen nodded: "Okay, let them in!"

Five people walked in at the door, all between 40 and [-] years old, all of them were tall and smart, and their demeanor was calm. As Yang Jiye said, although the characteristics of the northwest nomads were not strong, they were obvious.

As soon as the five entered the door, they knelt down on one knee and said to Ye Chen: "General Zhan Xiongwu's battalion commander Du Rushi, General Han Hu's deputy battalion commander Wu Mei, Deng Chongxuan's Dutou Gebasa and Dutou Zhang Dongxiang, Qi Guotao, the head of General Zhang Dawei's command, is meeting with the prince."

"Quickly please, General Yang has already told you what I mean by this king?"

"Humble ranks are already known."

"Okay, would you like to go to Longyou and the Western Regions?"

"I would like to obey the orders of the prince."

"Very well, this king will use troops against Huihe, Tubo, and Uyghur within three years. The four of you are proficient in bows and horses, and you have led soldiers. If you serve under their command, you will easily stand out. Internal response when using troops."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen stared at the changes in the expressions of the five people, and said solemnly: "It is true that going here is dangerous, but the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger. No matter what level of generals they have achieved under their command, Benben will be promoted two levels in a row in your corresponding official position! Are you willing?"

The five of them said in unison without hesitation: "Humble grades are willing!"

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Very good, you guys remember, personal bravery is one aspect of this trip, if you want to get a high position, you have to use your brains, try to gain their trust and master their strength. Hmm! The king will ask the intelligence department to secretly provide you with some help, so that you can quickly step aside."

All five said excitedly, "Thank you, my lord."

Ye Chen said: "Okay, follow her, she will tell you your specific tasks and contact information. From then on, you can contact her single-line. As for your family, you don't have to worry, your parents and wife, this king Supporting them for you can ensure their prosperity and wealth."

Ye Chen was speaking, and Shangguan Bingyun floated out of the shadow of the hall like a ghost, causing the pupils of the six people including Yang Jiye to shrink. All six of them are warriors, and their strength has reached a certain level, but before that, they were not at all. No one else was found in the hall besides King Xiangfu.

The five of them knelt on one knee again to salute Ye Chen, and happily followed Shangguan Bingyun out.
