Chapter 216 Long-term Perspective
Luoyang's first scientific examination began in a vigorous way, but ended in an unexpected way.
Some people are deterred by the ingenious way of talent of King Liang, but it has attracted more poor scholars. What a great honor to be a student of King Liang? What are you afraid of when you have a low official position? Who didn't come step by step?
There is no need for Song Qing to worry about this matter. Now he devotes most of his energy to the ongoing spring ploughing.
Food is the first necessity of the people, and food issues are always the most important to those in power.
The war in the previous two years has emptied the granaries in various places. Although it has been supplemented in the past year, it is not enough to say that the treasury is full. But this kind of thing is not urgent.
May Xiahoucheng, the governor of Beijing, have been transferred to the household department. At his suggestion, Song Qing not only successfully rescued countless serfs, but also completely turned the land of Jiangbei into a logistics support base in Liangshan.
Now, wherever Luoyang's decree goes, there are no more officials who dare to disobey. King Liang is really killing! Who is not afraid?
With the beginning of the first year of Xingping, these officials who went on to intern slowly rose, and local officials * gradually lost the influence of the Zhao and Song court. It really became under the rule of Liangshan.
The rescued serfs can reclaim many fields, so the next thing to study is how to expand production.
This is a technical problem. Song Qing is not a researcher of agriculture, so he can only order some old farmers to sit together and think about it. At this moment, a man who had been looking forward to Song Qing for a long time came back.
As soon as he drove to Nanyang, Gongsun Laodao, who had been sailing to Nanyang for nearly two years, came back.
Gongsun Sheng was not fat and wandered on the sea for nearly two years. The wind and sun were almost dry. However, he is full of energy.
Seeing Gongsun Sheng's appearance, Song Qing's tears almost fell down. After ordering someone to inform Wu Yong and others, he took Gongsun Sheng's hand and said with a little choking, "You old man didn't come back until you know it. I thought you fed the shark!"
Is Gongsun Sheng not excited? When he left, Song Qing and others were just living in a corner of Shandong. In less than two years, Liangshan's flag had been planted in most of the Central Plains, which was something they had never dreamed of before.
"Hehe! The prince really expected things. The old man almost became a shark's lunch several times, but the king of Hell obviously didn't want to take my old bone, so he put me back."
"You can stop staying at home this time! Don't worry about us old brothers. Tell me quickly, where have you been?"
"There are many places Lao Dao went this time, including Ma Yiguo, Bo Ni Guo, Buddha's death, Bagan, etc., as well as many places that can't be named. Finally, even Tianzhu went. By the way, and can you see if this is what you want?
Gongsun Sheng said and took out a handful of golden corn kernels from the package he carried with him.
"Yes, yes, this is the thing, old man! You have made great contributions to the people of the Central Plains!"
Song Qing held corn kernels in his hand and couldn't help looking at them. He couldn't put them down. This thing is much easier to grow than rice and wheat, and if this harvest is planted this year, countless seeds will be obtained during the autumn harvest.
It can be said that getting corn seeds is more than getting several state capitals to make Song Qing happy.
While the two were talking, there was a messy sound of footsteps outside. You don't have to guess who came. Sure enough, within a moment, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others strode in, and the most eye-catching of them is undoubtedly Yan Qing.
Yan Qing took a few steps, knelt down for Gongsun Sheng, and said loudly, "Xiao Yi has seen his brother"
Seeing Yan Qing again, Gongsun Sheng's eyes were also wet. He pulled up Yan Qing, who was also full of tears, and couldn't help saying, "Just come back, just come back"
Brother reunion, this is a great joy. Song Qing ordered to set up a banquet to wash the dust for Gongsun Sheng.
Today is really a double joy. Gongsun Sheng's return is a joy, and it is even more a joy to get corn seeds. So this wine was very enjoyable.
During the banquet, Gongsun Sheng told everyone about overseas customs, such as cannibalism, undressed ethnic groups, ethnic groups that are darker than the nigga Li Kui, etc., only heard that everyone was fascinated and couldn't help in inking about this and that.
Only Song Qing smiled and laughed. What kind of person have we never met? I just can't say it.
Gongsun Sheng suddenly stood up, looked around the crowd, and said loudly, "My Liangshan brothers can have today, which is the merit of Erlang. Let's have a toast to Erlang together."
Now there is no one who calls Song Qing like this, only Gongsun Sheng. But when I heard it in Song Qing's ears, I felt very cordial.
He stood up like everyone and picked up the glass and said, "Brother's words are not good. Liang Shan can have today. It depends on our brothers' dedication, relying on the countless bloody Liangshan warriors in front of him. Erlang is here to give a drink to his brothers."
Erlang can still speak, or how can he be a prince! Everyone responded, raised their glasses together and drank together.
After waiting for everyone to sit down, Gongsun Sheng said to Song Qing, "Erlang, the old man dared to be presumptuous again. Dare to ask Erlang, have you ever thought about unifying the Central Plains?"
Gongsun Sheng's words can be said to ask everyone's voice. It's not that everyone doesn't want to ask, but they just don't dare.
I don't want to say anything about this old man, but you still have to ask something, but there are no outsiders today. What's wrong with talking about it?
After a moment of meditation, he said, "One day, I will let our Liangshan flag be inserted everywhere in China"
This is the first time and the last time Song Qing has said his ambition in front of everyone.
While Song Qing and Liangshan brothers were talking about the world, Fang La in Chengdu had just raised his butcher's knife. What he killed was not mountain thieves and bandits, but just a group of ordinary people.
After returning from the defeat of the Central Plains, Fang La seemed to have changed into a person and indulge in wine and sex all day long. He no longer dominated the Central Plains in the past, and had the ambition to compete with Song Qing.
I'm afraid that he is really not the material to dominate the world, as long as he keeps this part of Shuzhong.
The boss has this idea, and others are more indulgent. What kind of bullying men and women and cruelty to innocent people often happen. Fang La's hard-established reputation when he entered Sichuan was gradually replaced by scolding.
Deng Yuanjue wants to be very excited, but now it's all this kind of peace of mind from Fang La to ordinary soldiers. What can he do alone?
Unexpectedly, Song Qing, the king of Liang, had a surprisingly good reputation in Shu.
Fang La, Deng Yuanjue and others led more than 100,000 troops to fight against the Central Plains, but less than 12 of them came back alive. Nearly 30,000 soldiers buried their bones in Hedong. It is reasonable that the people of Sichuan should hate him. However, when the news of Song Qing buried bones and monuments for the Sichuan soldiers who died in Hedong came back, the impression of the people of Song Qing It has changed.
The Sichuan army obviously attacked others under the leadership of Fang La and others, but they set up a monument for the Sichuan army on the grounds of retribution for virtue and admiration for the bravery of the Sichuan army.
This move made the people in Sichuan dispel their resentment against Song Qing.
At this time, the news came from the court that Shuzhong would be under the rule of King Liang. Although the King of Liang did not finally enter Sichuan, the news still spread.
At first, the people didn't care about this news. After all, Fang La treated the people well. But with the decay of the Fangla Group, the people finally remembered this.
At the same time, under the strong encouragement of Liang Shan's spy, the matter became more and more intense, and in the end, someone openly talked about it in the restaurant and teahouse. It seems that some people can't wait for King Liang to enter the main river soon.
Hearing this news, Fang La couldn't help but be shocked and let Song Qing enter the main river. What should he do? In anger, he immediately sent someone to severely punish the rumors.
The more than a dozen people killed today are the innocent people who were killed for talking about this.
Fang La wanted to strictly prohibit the people from mentioning this matter through this iron-blooded means, but he didn't know it. Instead, he made the people more alienated from him and sincerely hoped that King Liang would enter Sichuan soon.
A sudden heavy rain washed away the beheaded people, and only a dozen crying family members were restraining their bodies in the crowded vegetable market.
At the window of a restaurant not far away, two people who were standing at the window also closed the window, sat back in their chairs and continued to drink.
These two people look a little strange, with a sharp-billed monkey cheek, like Lei Gong. The other one is short and fat, with a small beard on his round face, which looks very funny.
It is Shiqian and Bai Sheng.
Time is the kind of person who can't afford to wander around. Bai Sheng came with a mission.
On the battlefield, Liang Shan's heroes were majestic, and even Yue Fei, Gao Chong, Han Shizhong and others who joined later made a lot of merit. Bai Sheng couldn't sit still, so he took the initiative to ask Zhu Wu for this job.
A gift to Fangla's secret envoy Lv Shifang.
Through looking at these literary ministers and generals under Fang La, although most of them have been corrupted, they are still loyal to each other. Only this Lu Shibag.
This guy is rich and lustful, and he misses the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River. At the beginning, he was the only one who opposed Fang La's entry into Shu.
This information has long been mastered by the pervasive internal guards. After Cao Zheng transferred the news to Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu listed this person as the key target.
Previously, Zhu Wu had sent someone to give gifts to Lv Shibag as a businessman, but this time Bai Shenglai wanted to have a showdown with him.
Although Song Qing did not order to attack Shuzhong, this is a matter of time, but Shu's road is difficult. It would be better if there is an accurate map of Shuzhong, or information such as the configuration of troops in Shuzhong.
So Zhu Wu wanted to take down Lv Shibag early to get more information.
Shi Qian took a sip of the wine and said, "Lao Bai, don't think about it. Come and try it. This bamboo leaf green tastes really good."
Bai Sheng stared at Shi Qian and said, "Don't worry. This Lv Shibag is Fang La's confidant. If I can't take him down, what face should I go back?"
Shi Qian's eyes turned around and suddenly smiled and said, "What's the matter? Don't worry, brother, since I'm here with you, I must not watch you suffer. I'll go for you tonight."
Will you go first? Are you going to steal?
Bai Sheng looked at Shi Qian with a suspicious face.
