Governor please stay

But "exporting" crossbow machines does not mean exporting crossbow bolts.As for arrows, Liu Yishou strictly controls them, only selling "guns" and not "bullets", which is the routine of old coins.

"By the way, one of the craftsmen from Luoyang has improved the production process of featherless arrows. This person will reward you a lot, and this type of arrow will also be popularized in the army. In addition, Jia Sixie, you need to send someone to put fish fry in the lake on the other side of Shaopi. , Expand breeding, raise ducks and geese in the surrounding area.

Collect goose feathers to make arrow feathers and equip them for the newly established Luodiao.This unit will specialize in sniping and killing enemy generals on the battlefield in the future, and all bows and arrows will be used exclusively. "

It turned out that the layout was so early!Yang Min and the others sighed in their hearts, Liu Yishou is indeed a person who does great things.They quickly agreed, thanked them and left.

After everyone had left, Liu Yishou lay down on the table like a salted fish and sighed from exhaustion.

Going uphill is very tiring, the kind of thing that can wake up and take over the world after a little messing around in a woman's bed, and the wind and rain can only exist in imagination.

Focusing on the big and letting go of the small in everything, and doing the big things by yourself are the secrets of success behind those people who have a good face.

"It's not enough. Now we need to spread the farming, and we still lack a key infrastructure."

Liu Yishou's hometown in his previous life was Xuzhou, not far from here.To the south of Anfengtang, there seems to be an artificial canal and weir pond, which is a large grain-producing area.But now it seems that there is wasteland over there, and it has not been cultivated.

After all, there are too many fertile fields around Shaopi, and the wasteland without water, farmers are not interested in developing it.

This kind of thing can only be done by the people who govern Shouyang to mobilize the masses to develop the place.

"And you have to do something with high added value, or you'll run out of money."

Liu Yishou was lying on the table, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of another good idea.

……

At the beginning of winter, Duguxin and Zhao Gui under Liu Yishou's command led the troops respectively, with [-] troops each from the headquarters, and joined forces to attack Xiapi County, which was almost in a state of no resistance.Gao Huan's team had just arrived in Ren Ren less than a month ago, and they were taken over without even sitting on their buttocks.

After taking Xiapi City, Duguxin was ordered to defend Xiapi County by Liu Yishou, while Zhao Gui led troops to continue to attack the neighboring Donghai County.He was noticed by the patrolling soldiers on the other side of the river in Beihai County, Liang State, and urgently notified the local prefect.

The local prefect didn't dare to delay, and it was three days later that the matter was written into a document and sent to Jiankang through the post station.

It wasn't until this time that the court center of the Liang Kingdom knew that Liu Yishou's so-called "birthday gift" to Xiao Yan in Leyou Garden was actually genuine!

When they checked the map, they were surprised to find that since then, Liang Guo's front in Qingxu has been advancing at the same time, and there are no obvious flaws!It seems that Lanling County can really be taken down in the next step!

Just as Zhu Yi and the others were discussing in private and came up with a plan before reporting it to Xiao Yan, Liu Yishou used Liang Guo's post system to invent a document to inform the central court of Jiankang that he had sent troops to take down Xiapi County and Donghai County , Since then, the Qingxu line of defense has been impregnable.

Ask the imperial court to send civil officials to take over the government affairs of these two counties, and give instructions on how to proceed next.

As soon as this article was published, it was like dropping a drop of water into a boiling oil pan. The entire upper echelons of Jiankang, especially the Xiao clan and those children of the aristocratic family who were idle at home, couldn't help it anymore!

The pot was too big, and Zhu Yi couldn't bear it anymore.No matter how he decides, while satisfying one group of people, he will offend another group of people.There was no other way, so Zhu Yi had no choice but to take the official document and went to the Dafo Pavilion of Tongtai Temple to ask Xiao Yan for countermeasures.

……

"My son-in-law is very trustworthy, hahahahaha!"

Xiao Yan laughed heartily and said, after reading the official document written by Liu Yishou sent by the station system, a smile appeared on his usually calm face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Uh, Prince Consort Liu was responsible for this matter before, but now, it has nothing to do with him."

Zhu Yi said with a bitter face.

The meaning of Liu Yishou's official document is very clear. I have already taken down the two counties. I will throw the fat to you, and you can divide it yourself. Don't keep beeping me behind your back.

He's all right now, but Zhu Yi suffers from all kinds of fatigue bombardment every day.Do these two counties need two prefects?Is there a corresponding series of official positions?

This is a piece of meat, but it is not a big fat meat.

The biggest fat is what Liu Yishou said, waiting for the imperial order.

The court's order must be to let him stick to his place!If he is allowed to take down Lanling County and the ancestral land of the clan, where will the face of the Xiao clan be placed?There is no doubt about this!

Liu Yishou actually hinted at this point: It is not impossible for me not to fight Lanling County, but I have to pay more!

"Praise the son-in-law, and the official position will not be used, and more money and food will be given. The weapons in the treasury will be given if they are not needed. The son-in-law still has the heart to do things for the country."

Xiao Yan said with emotion.

This is what it should have meant. After taking advantage of it, Liu Yishou will be able to throw off his arms and not be restrained.

Zhu Yi nodded slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty's words are very true, there is nothing wrong with Concubine Liu, but Lanling County... all the princes want to take command of the expedition, who should go?"

Chapter 317 How Can You Do Good Politics With This Kind of Insect?

Liu Yishou created a huge problem for Liang Guozhong: the meat thrown out was too delicious, and there were too many people who wanted a share of the pie, so that the interests could not be coordinated at all.

Zhu Yi put this question in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was silent, counting the beads with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty, this time the prince also intends to lead the expedition..."

Zhu Yi pondered Xiao Yan's thoughts, and felt that it would be better if Xiao Gang was in command.Everyone knew that this crown prince took advantage of Xiao Tong, and even wrote poems about child molestation, and his prestige among the people and the court was very low.

It is understandable for Xiao Yan to help the "Prince".

"Among all the sons, besides my late eldest son, who else has the best virtue?"

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and asked an inexplicable question.One sentence made Zhu Yi not know how to answer.Fortunately, Zhu Yi has been in the court for decades, and he is very familiar with government affairs, and he also knows the affairs of many princes in detail.

He pondered for a moment and said: "The eighth prince, Xiao Ji, has been diligent in learning since he was a child. He has always been respectful, frugal and courteous. He has been in Jiankang and not outside the town. I think that among all the princes, the eighth prince is the best in terms of virtue. "

Hearing this, Xiao Yan stroked his long beard and said, "Your words are very much in line with my wishes. Let Ah Ba (Xiao Ji) go if he is in command this time."

Young son in command?

Zhu Yi turned pale with shock, Xiao Yan's stupid trick was really powerless to complain, and he didn't know where to start.Xiao Ji didn't open a mansion and government office, and didn't even have a team around him, so how could he lead the three armies?

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has no trusted generals..."

Zhu Yiyou didn't know whether it was suitable for him or not. If Xiao Yan was not sitting across from him, he would have slapped him long ago!

"Ah Ba (Xiao Ji) is in command, there is nothing to argue about. As for the candidate for the deputy commander, what do you think?"

One sentence from Xiao Yan blocked what Zhu Yi was going to say later.

"Chen Dudu of Stone City intends to lead the army, and he is familiar with the north."

"He can't leave, and sometimes I have to recruit him to play chess."

Xiao Yan said calmly.

The chess game is fake, Chen Qingzhi is gone, and it is true that Jiankang's guards make people worry.Xiao Yan will not take this crucial amulet away easily.

"Xiahou Kui wrote a letter the day before yesterday, willing to go from Minzhehai Road to Beihai County, where troops are ready to go..."

Zhu Yi said cautiously.You can talk about Chen Qingzhi casually, but Xia Houkui is now the one being dealt with coldly by Xiao Yan.

It's just that Zhu Yi has already received Xia Houkui's money, so what else can he do?

"Let's just mess around with the common people over there. It's not his turn to worry about my family affairs."

Taking back Lanling County and the ancestral home of the clan is a state matter, but it can indeed be regarded as Xiao Yan's family matter.Xiao Yan has great love for the clan, even to the point of disregarding right from wrong.

He disliked outsiders meddling in the affairs of the clan.Of course, it was another matter for Liu Yishou to take the initiative to invite Ying and create opportunities for them to pick peaches.

The so-called dog licking, of course, the more the better, Xiao Yan is not disgusted with similar behavior.

"Lan Dudu (Lan Qin) can't move lightly in Zhongli, and he didn't take the initiative to invite Ying. It's better to transfer Xiao Ying from Matou County to Beihai County, which is not far away."

Xiao Ying didn't get involved at all this time. To be precise, he was already devastated by the chaotic civil affairs in Matou County and other places.Liu Yishou's troops penetrated Matou County all-pervasively, and the households in the territory kept fleeing. It was already not easy for him to cry and complain to Xiao Yan.

Because Xiao Ying was already in such a miserable state, Zhu Yi didn't mind letting him die faster!It is one of the basic operating rules of society to push the wall down.

"Xiao Ying, just let him go, I know it's not easy for him."

Xiao Yan sighed, he felt that Liu Yishou was not easy to deal with, let alone Xiao Ying?Xiao Ying doesn't have the administrative power of Liang Guo's center, how can Liu Yishou be obedient?

Liu Yishou's willingness to help Liang Guo does not mean that he will be polite to the surrounding clans, Xiao Yan can see this very clearly.My son-in-law is not a barbarian in the north, and it is precisely because of this that he is even more difficult to deal with!

I'm not afraid of you being a hooligan, but I'm afraid that hooligans are educated, and Liu Yishou belongs to that kind of educated hooligans.

"Please, Your Majesty, the Holy Inquisition."

Zhu Yi bowed deeply and gave up the treatment.

Although he has served Xiao Yan for decades, he still feels that this master is sometimes too difficult to serve.

"The prince's subordinates should have their own team, right?"

Xiao Yan asked calmly, and Zhu Yi felt the hairs on his back stand on end. No matter how you answer this kind of question, it's not appropriate.Without saying a word, he bowed respectfully and lowered his head to the floor.

"Go and ask the prince yourself, if he has any suitable candidates, you can recommend them."

There was neither sadness nor joy on Xiao Yan's face, and no emotion could be seen.

Zhu Yi was confused by this weird operation.

What does it mean for the youngest son to be in command, and then let the prince send his cronies to lead the army?Is it to let Xiao Ji get close to the generals under the prince's command?

Wouldn't it be...

Zhu Yi didn't dare to continue to think about it, he just felt that Xiao Yan's mind was like June Day in the mountains, changing as soon as he said it!

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Zhu Yi saluted again, ready to bow and leave.

"By the way, the decree is to notify Liu Yishou to stick to Donghai County and Xiapi County, and not to attack Lanling County and disrupt the overall deployment."

Xiao Yan said calmly.

Sure enough!

Zhu Yi complained in his heart, knowing that the emperor would never give the glory of regaining his ancestral land to outsiders.I don't know how that rebellious son-in-law will feel in his heart?

He couldn't say anything more, he could only respectfully exit the Great Buddha Pavilion.After leaving Tongtai Temple, Zhu Yi was a little sobered up by the cold wind blowing by the river.There was an inexplicable question in his mind, which he couldn't let go of until now.

Liu Yishou can be regarded as the top-level person he has ever seen, which made him deeply afraid.In the huge Jiankang City, there is no one who can compare with him.

Every move of this guy has a deep meaning in his daily life, and he will never act foolishly on major matters.His "voluntary labor" this time paves the way for Xiao Yan to regain his ancestral land. Is it really because of the beautiful scenery in Lanling County?

……

Behind them were flatbed trucks full of goods, and Liu Yishou took Jia Sixie through the streets and alleys of the villages around Shouyang, "sending warmth" from door to door, all of which were cloth and the like.

Like the north, Shouyang has a bumper harvest this year. There may be no shortage of food, but this does not mean that ordinary people have no shortage of clothing.Similar things already belong to the category of "industry", but because of the low level of productivity, they are called "handicrafts".

"Ah Weng, do you eat seafood on weekdays?"

Liu Yishou asked an old man who was basking in the sun in the yard.

"Eat, there is no meat on weekdays except river seafood. What would you eat if you don't eat this?"

The old man took it for granted that if Liu Yishou and others hadn't given them something, and they were the big bosses in charge of Shouyang, he would have felt that the other party was asking too much.Poor people have almost no other sources of animal protein except seafood.

There are the most ways to eat freshwater among the people, not without reason.

"Do you eat mussels?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

The old man didn't say anything, he went into the kitchen and brought out a pot of uncooked mussels.Liu Yishou and Jia Sixie looked at each other, thinking that it was so.There are many mussels around Shouyang, and almost every household eats them.

Mussels like to live in shoals such as shallow lakes and shallow rivers. Shaopi is endless, but the water is not deep, and there are densely packed mussels along the coast.

Liu Yishou and the others visited several villages, and the news they got was the same as they had expected.

"On Ah Weng's side, have you ever eaten pearls from river oysters?"

Liu Yishou asked abruptly.

I thought that this person would have the same bewildered face as the people I visited before, but I didn't expect the other person's eyes to flicker, and he hesitated and refused to answer.

"Ah Weng, we just want to see you, the pearl is still yours, and I don't need that little money."

Liu Yishou took out a few copper coins from his cuff, grabbed the old man's hand, and slapped the money into his palm.

It is estimated that Dudu Liu has a very good reputation on weekdays, and he is not the kind of bully.The old man let out a long sigh, and led Liu Yishou and Jia Sixie into the house.I took out a cloth bag from under the pillow, opened the cloth bag, and saw a thumb-sized pearl inside, which was still glowing with blue light, which was amazing.

Liu Yishou looked at it through the cloth, returned the pearl to the old man and asked, "Where did you pick up the river oyster that produced the pearl?"

"Liu Dudu, ah, old man, I go there to pick up mussels from time to time, but I never came out again, just this one!"

The old man shook his head and sighed, he finally understood what this Governor Liu was up to.It is not for his pearl, but to know where the pearl is produced.

But pearls produced by mussels are extremely rare, so you say they are available?This is too whimsical, right?

"Take me to the river, and then tell us what kind of mussel it is, there will be a lot of rewards!"

Liu Yishou said excitedly, unable to hide his excitement.

There are so many types of mussels, even in different rivers, there are different subspecies of the same species of mussels.Not every species can produce pearls.
