Royal road

"This is Liangzhou Baidie?" Liang Feng's eyes lit up looking at the potted plants offered to the emperor.

I saw a strange plant planted in the flowerpot carved with exquisite patterns in front of me.The stems are straight and the leaves are broad, with a few fluffy and white fruits on top, which are quite cutely trimmed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is exactly this thing. It's a pity that it's not the season at this time, so we can only enjoy the fruit. By next summer, Baidiao will be able to bloom flowers. It is white at first, and then dark red. It is really beautiful." That cool The envoy of the state reported immediately.

"Admiring the flowers?" Liang Feng raised his eyebrows, picked off a white fruit, squeezed it in his hand and rubbed it.It is soft and soft, but there are also many seeds, which are a bit harsh.But even so, this is cotton!

After the spring of this year, the battle to attack Qinzhou began.This time it is to completely wipe out the remnants of the Xiongnu, so naturally the fight will not be too easy.However, both water and land advance together, and the transportation of food and troops saves a lot of effort. With the further stabilization of Guanzhong, the frontline advances are also extremely smooth.After only half a year of attacking the city, the Xiongnu were suppressed in Longxi.Surrender or destruction is only a matter of time.

The change of Yong and Qin states also stimulated Liangzhou next door.

When Liang Feng came to the throne, the governor of Liangzhou was still Zhang Gui.This person is the grandson of Prince Changshanjing in the Western Han Dynasty, and his family is also a prominent family in Yongzhou.When he was young, he was very famous and talented, so he was appointed as Liangzhou.Under his rule, Liangzhou was emptied of robbers and bandits in just a few years, and the people lived happily.Zhang Gui's prestige also spread throughout Hexi.It is also because of the wars and chaos over the years that the common people of Yong and Qin fled to Liangzhou to avoid disasters, which made this corner of the Western Regions prosperous.

This person was also extremely loyal to the Jin Dynasty. During the Eight Kings' Rebellion, he not only continued to make contributions, but also sent troops to serve the king several times to rescue them from danger.Therefore, when Liang Feng became self-reliant, Liangzhou did not obey Da Zhao, but respected Sima Rui from Jiangdong.

However, Zhang Gui died of illness two years ago, and things changed.First, the northern land was gradually pacified, the land equalization order was issued, and refugees from all over the country began to migrate to Zhao.Liangzhou had no available manpower, but was threatened by the Huns and Xianbei.The second is that people's hearts are unstable. The only surviving Sima County King in the territory also rebelled and almost seized the Zhang family's power.

After struggling like this for several years, the Xiongnu retreated steadily, seeing that Yongqin changed masters.Zhang Shi, the current governor who succeeded his father, was moved.Naturally, Da Zhao would not miss the opportunity, and immediately added officials to Zhang Shi, and then offered the sweetness of "reopening the Silk Road".

Liangzhou relies on commercial roads, and the Hexi Corridor thrives on the Silk Road.It's just that the wars continued, and the former Silk Road has long been deserted, and it is no longer what it used to be.Now that the Northland is about to be unified, the temptation to reopen the Silk Road is great.

After some fiddling, Zhang Shi finally received Zhao Guo's reward, Chijie and the governor of Liangzhou's military forces, served as the governor of Liangzhou, and led the protection of the Qiang school lieutenant.

All the military and political power was placed in Zhang Shi's hands, so he naturally had to express it.Not only did he send his son to Luoyang to study in the Chongwen Museum, but he also prepared a bunch of local products to offer.Among them was Bai Die, who was specifically asked for by Emperor Zhao.

But to Liang Feng, these ten or so cotton plants are much more valuable than several boxes of gold and silver.

"Is this thing only for viewing in Liangzhou? Doesn't anyone use it for weaving?" Liang Feng asked curiously.

The emissary was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this stuff is very short and has many seeds. How can it be used for weaving? Most of them are grown in the courtyard for appreciation, so it's a good idea."

There are many seeds in a white pile, and many children bring blessings. It is a good idea to put it anywhere.

Liang Feng couldn't help laughing, and pulled the cotton boll in his hand again, it seems that this is not a long-velvet variety.But even so, plant it first!

"There is cloth in the south, named 'Jibei', which is woven from kapok. It is white in color and skillful in workmanship, and I like it very much. Now this Liangzhou white stack has a similar feel to it. If it can weave cloth, it should be a good product. Pass down the order and let Zhang The governor will look for more white species, and I will send the Secretary of Agriculture to Liangzhou to select and breed new species." Liang Feng led the way.

Whether kapok can weave cloth, Liang Feng didn't know, but cotton certainly could.Even if it is coarse cotton, you can also play cotton and make a cotton coat.However, cotton has to find a way to remove seeds, and only manually remove seeds, which is extremely unfavorable for promotion.This thing is for the common people. As long as a reliable planting method is developed, it can be planted in large quantities in Henan and Shandong.In recent years, the weather has tended to be colder.With so many crops, I don't know how many lives can be saved.

Who would dare to disobey the order of the emperor?The messenger hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.Ganbao on the side didn't neglect, and wrote quickly, writing down a note on daily life.The longer he stayed with the emperor, the more he got used to this sudden interest.Before that, the emperor ordered that the counties and counties in the Jianghuai area should rotate taro to increase the food rations of the people.

Taro has no smell, and it is rare in the north. I am afraid that only today will people think that people can use this fruit to preserve it?Just like the white stack in front of me, it is obviously a flower, but it is whimsical to use it for spinning.

After a little distraction, Gan Bao regained his energy and concentrated on recording.After a while, the emperor went down, and he also went sideways to the Chuigong hall.

The emperor doesn't like to ride in chariots. If the weather is good, he will walk to and from the palace.It will take some time to walk all the way from the court hall to the Chuigong hall.It is like this every day, even a living man like Gan Bao can walk down with his eyes closed.He even turned a blind eye to Habayashi Wei and Long Xiangwei who were on duty on both sides of the road.

Enough is enough!

Since General Yi changed into new clothes, the clothes of the inner guards also changed inexplicably.The sleeves are gathered, and the waist is tight, but it looks tall and straight on the body.But when the Son of Heaven passed by, the eagerness in those people's eyes could not be concealed.I can't wait to push my chest up to the sky, put my stomach into the vest, and there is not even a hair on my chin.I only hope that my own male physique and handsome appearance will make the emperor take a closer look.

These days, the swagger has intensified.Some people's armor can light up three points.There is no other way, who asked General Yi to go out to fight, not in the palace?

As a living man, Gan Bao has seen General Yi's attendants countless times.Although the inner curtains are not involved in daily life, Gan Bao also knows that General Yi probably spends a lot of time staying in the palace.It is not uncommon for the emperor to have a few good fortunes by his side, the odd thing is that this kind of favor has not faded away for many years.

Could it be that the Son of Heaven looks like General Yi?Or is it because "the widow has a disease" that makes him pay more attention to his body and appearance?You must know that the appearance of the current Holy Majesty is the best in the court, and he doesn't like to grow a beard. Even though he is nearly forty years old, he still has a very good appearance and attracts people's admiration.If you can be lucky enough to be with the emperor, you can reach the sky in one step!

However, no matter how the following conjectures are made, for so many years, no one has been added to the emperor's bedside.It also made many Habayashi guards, and even former officials, feel very sad.

Now that General Yi is not here, I am afraid someone is thinking about Jin Xing again.

Looking at the nose and the heart, Gan Bao silently followed Yu Jia and walked towards the Chui Gong Hall.Unexpectedly, just after passing through the atrium, the emperor suddenly stopped and looked around.

This time, not to mention Ganbao, everyone in front of the imperial court looked over there.I saw a Longxiang guard standing in the corridor where the emperor was watching.He looked like he was only in his early twenties, with an imposing appearance and handsome features.Standing in awe, quite a bit calm and prestige.

Gan Bao's heart skipped a beat, did the emperor take a fancy to this person?

It is estimated that many people think so.Several eyes immediately became hot.That Long Xiangwei probably sensed something was wrong, but he didn't dare to move casually, he just stood stiffly by the side of the road, his expression changed a bit.

No one dared to speak rashly, but the emperor chuckled, "What's your name?"

That Long Xiangwei immediately knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the last general, Xu Ye, is the nephew of Xu Hua, General Zhenyuan of the Shenwu Army."

Whether it is Longxiang or Habayashi, most of them are descendants of aristocratic families.General Zhenyuan is a military rank under the fourth rank, and should be a mid-level general of the Shenwu Army.To be able to send a nephew to the Longxiang Army is either from a superior family background or outstanding talent.The Xu family doesn't seem to be a famous family...

"Xu Hua..." Liang Feng thought for a while, but he didn't think about the prefect of this person, so he said to Xu Ye, "Get up."

Xu Ye stood up slowly, holding the gun tightly in his hand.The way the emperor looked at him was really weird. Could it be... Could it be that he fell into the eyes of the emperor?

Xu Ye is not very masculine, and there are even beautiful wives and concubines in his family.But this person in front of him is the Son of Heaven!If he is allowed to advance, how can he refuse?If General Yi finds out, will he make trouble for him?

The chaos in his heart was like a mess, but Xu Ye's eyes shone with light, and he focused on the emperor, hoping that the other party would open his mouth again.However, Liang Feng just glanced at him again, shook his head with a smile, and continued walking forward.

Xu Ye froze there.What does it mean?

Others were also confused and confused.The emperor didn't delve into the meaning of it, and forgot about him in a blink of an eye.A few days later, the general in the hall submitted a memorial, saying that there were some talents in Longxiangwei who were outstanding and could be promoted.The first name on the memorial is exactly "Xu Ye"!

"Stay overnight at the Shigan Hall?" Liang Feng glanced at the general in the hall with a half-smile, "Since he is extremely talented, he should be placed in the army. Transfer to the Shenwei Army and listen to it."

The Shenwei Army is also the Son of Heaven's pro-army, it is the most elite reorganized from the original Tiger Wolf Army.This job is not bad, but unfortunately, the cavalry are all General Yi's confidantes.What does it mean to send Xu Ye there?

Sweat dripped from the forehead of the general in the palace, and he kept making promises.Liang Feng thought it was funny.He looked at Xu Ye more that day, but it was because he looked a little like himself.It's not the "Liang Feng" of this era, but the original shell.However, this person's surname is Xu, not Liang, so I'm afraid he has little connection with himself in later generations.

This point of excitement caused the people below to rack their brains.It really cannot be blamed that there are so many foolish kings, there are really countless people who are good at "figuring out the holy will".

Gan Bao, who was sitting next to him, recorded his daily notes with a blank expression.But involuntarily conceived a story in my mind.There is Longxi Wusun's horse, which is always intimate.Others offer ordinary horses, but they will be swallowed in one bite.It was amazing at the time... Wait until you get home to think about the words, and write them down in the book you wrote when you were free.

The author has something to say: Hey, Gan Baoda was originally a historian.It's not pure code words, writing novels is just a hobby.

Also, you think too much. You don't care about the inner palace in your daily life, but only remember the affairs of the outer court.
