Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 526 Li Er Dispatches Liu Zhenghui to Welcome the Triumph of the Zhongzhou Navy

When Liu Rengui left the ferry of Bohai Prefecture, he also flew a pigeon to pass a letter to Chang'an City, reporting the itinerary of the Zhongzhou Navy to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households!
The governor of Bohai Sea sent the Zhongzhou navy away, and immediately wrote a letter to the court, informing the Zhongzhou navy of going ashore for repairs.

Within two days, news of the triumphant return of the Zhongzhou navy spread throughout Gyeonggi and Hadong provinces!
Chu Suiliang, the governor of Zhongzhou on Hedong Road, was surprised and delighted when he learned that Liu Rengui had returned with the Zhongzhou navy. He immediately went down the river and waited for Liu Rengui's arrival at Hanguguan Ferry.

Hangu Pass is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north. It is the only place to pass in and out of Guanzhong!
At the same time, Hangu Pass is also a battleground for military strategists.

The confluence of the Wei River and the Yellow River in Gyeonggi-do is just north of Hangu Pass.

At noon that day, Chu Suiliang waited for Liu Rengui at Hanguguan Ferry!

Liu Rengui and Chu Suiliang talked happily.

Chu Suiliang informed Liu Rengui of the recent events in Datang.

In particular, penicillin, which was popular in the Tang Dynasty, was most sought after by Chu Suiliang.

When Liu Rengui learned that Wu Meiniang, Yuchihuan's apprentice, had developed penicillin to cure all diseases, he was astonished!
"I have arrived in Chang'an City, no matter what, I must meet Wu Meiniang!"

Liu Rengui didn't despise Wu Meiniang just because she was a girl.

On the contrary, Wu Meiniang, as Yuchihuan's chief disciple, can run rampant in Chang'an City by virtue of her status alone.

Chu Suiliang entertained Liu Rengui at Hangu Pass and parted ways after lunch.

As the governor of Zhongzhou, Chu Suiliang is not allowed to leave his post without authorization.

So this time Chu Suiliang's excuse for coming to Hanguguan was to inspect the Yellow River waterway!
In addition, the Zhongzhou navy led by Liu Rengui originally belonged to the soldiers of Zhongzhou children, so it was reasonable for Chu Suiliang to meet Liu Rengui.

Even if the official censor tells Li Er, Chu Suiliang will be fine.

In the afternoon, Liu Rengui led the Zhongzhou Navy back to Beijing again.

Woohoo!

With the sound of the horn, one hundred Zhongzhou navy five-yad boats immediately set sail and headed upstream!

Since it is already the spring plowing season, the Zhongzhou Navy saw countless people planting wheat and rice along the way.

And the guano brought back by the Zhongzhou navy from the island of guano can just be used to fertilize wheat and rice fields.

Liu Rengui stood on the bow deck of the Wuya ship in high spirits. In his opinion, what the Zhongzhou navy carried was not a million stones of guano, but food!

Chu Suiliang on the other side sent Liu Rengui away, and he also went upstream and returned to Zhongzhou from the Yellow River channel.

……

The seventh year of Zhenguan, the first day of March!

In the afternoon, the sun is almost setting!
At this moment, Yu Chihuan also completed the work of the Ministry of Education, put away the four treasures of the study, and prepared to go home.

Suddenly Sun Shunde took a memorial and laughed loudly: "Young Chancellor Yuchi, this morning the Zhongzhou Navy Zhonglang sent Liu Rengui to the court, saying that the Zhongzhou Navy has arrived in Luoyang and will arrive in Xianyang in the evening!"

Yuchihuan smiled and said, "Eldest Sun Shunde, bring me the memorial and show it to me!"

In fact, since Liu Rengui arrived in Bohai Prefecture, Hebei Province, Yu Chihuan has been paying attention to Liu Rengui's movements.

This time, the Zhongzhou navy transported millions of stones of guano from the small island in the Pacific Ocean, which was a great joy for Datang.

According to Yu Chihuan's estimate, the Zhongzhou navy can go to the island of guano once a month, and it takes almost two months to go back and forth!

Within a year, the Zhongzhou Navy can transport at least 600 million stone guano back to Datang.

This is calculated based on the distance from Chang'an City to the Guano Island.

If you go from Datang Lingnan Road to Guano Island, the time required can be discounted by [-]%.

Within a month, the five-tooth boat can travel back and forth between Lingnan Road and Guano Island.

The eldest grandson Shunde's family has tens of thousands of acres of farmland, and he also hopes to obtain a field of guano fertilizer!
So Changsun Shunde was also very happy to learn that Liu Rengui led the Zhongzhou Navy back to Beijing.

"Young Prime Minister Yuchi, this is Liu Rengui's memorial!"

Changsun Shunde immediately handed the memorial to Yuchihuan.

Yu Chihuan took the memorial and read it seriously.

"Eldest Sun Shunde, I'm going to Xianyang Ferry to meet Liu Rengui now!"

After Yu Chihuan finished reading the memorial, he immediately bid farewell to Changsun Shunde.

Liu Rengui's memorial was also annotated by Yu Chihuan.

Changsun Shunde said with a smile on his face: "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, can you help me retain ten thousand stones of guano to fertilize the fields this time?"

"Eldest Sun Shunde, why do you need so much bird droppings?"

Yu Chihuan stared at Changsun Shunde seriously.

Changsun Shunde said embarrassedly: "Little Chancellor Yuchi, my husband has a lot of cultivated land!"

Yu Chihuan shook his head and said, "Changsun Shunde, your family already has a field of cow dung, so there is no need to compete with the common people for profit!"

"Okay, I'll wait for the people in Guanzhong to use the guano to fertilize the fields first!"

Changsun Shunde finally compromised with Yuchihuan.

If it was in the past, no one would dare to object to the elder Sun Shunde's words.

But Yu Chihuan is different, he will not be afraid of his elder Sun Shunde just because he is a relative.

And Yu Chihuan himself is Li Er's Chenglong Kuai son-in-law, he can be regarded as a member of the foreign relatives!
Yu Chihuan then hurriedly left Zhongshu Province.

And Changsun Shunde had no choice but to stay in Zhongshu Province to supervise the officials under his command.

And Liu Rengui's memorial was also presented to Li Er by the elder Sun Shunde.

After reading Liu Rengui's memorial, Li Er immediately said with joy to Long Yan: "Order the Secretary of the Household Department, Liu Zhenghui, to go to Xianyang Ferry to meet the Zhongzhou Navy!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Wang Gonggong did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to the Ministry of Households to convey Li Er's will.

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was just about to go home from duty.

As a result, Li Er's imperial edict reached the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Li Er ordered Liu Zhenghui to meet the Zhongzhou Navy led by Liu Rengui on behalf of the Tang court.

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, dared to disobey the order and disrespect it. He ordered all the officials above the fifth rank of the Household Department to go to Xianyang Ferry to meet Liu Rengui on the spot.

Those officials from the household department were eager to return home, but they dared not disobey Li Er's will, so they obediently followed Liu Zhenghui to Xianyang Ferry.

……

Gyeonggi-do, Xianyang Ferry!

In the evening, Yuchihuan and a dozen of Yuchi's family members stood outside the ferry waiting for the Zhongzhou navy led by Liu Rengui to arrive!

To Yuchihuan's surprise, instead of waiting for Liu Rengui, Yuchihuan waited for Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department.

"I have seen the young Prime Minister Yuchi!"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, was also very surprised to see Yuchihuan at the Xianyang Ferry.

"Why are you here?"

Although Yu Chihuan had guessed that Liu Zhenghui was sent by Li Er to welcome the Zhongzhou Navy, he still asked suspiciously.

Liu Zhenghui smiled and said, "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, I am here to meet the Zhongzhou navy led by Liu Rengui at the Xianyang Ferry by order!"

Yu Chihuan nodded and said: "Liu Zhenghui, I'm also here to welcome Liu Rengui haha!"

"Little Prime Minister Yuchi, when will the Zhongzhou navy arrive at the Xianyang Ferry?"

Liu Zhenghui asked Yuchihuan anxiously.

The officials of the household department also looked around anxiously, they can't wait to see the fleet of the Zhongzhou Navy right away!
