Chapter 145 Zhang Rang calculates
In the Luoyang Imperial Palace and the harem garden, Emperor Ling Liu Hong rarely did not enjoy the beauty of the palace. Under the service of two eunuchs and regular attendants, he wore armor and enjoyed the flattery and praise of the concubines not far away.
"Your Majesty is really heroic. This armor looks even more extraordinary when worn on Your Majesty." Zhang Rang carefully took care of the hem of the armor, and praised him with admiration.
"Isn't it? Your Majesty is also introverted in his daily life. With a little armor, he is not comparable to those rough and barbarian warriors. He is really the supreme general." Zhao Zhong sorted out Liu Hong's cuffs and flattered him.
"Oh? Supreme General, this is called Da Shan." Liu Hong's face turned red and his forehead was sweating. While speaking, Zhang Rang sent someone to bring a generous general chair, and Liu Hong was sitting in a stern manner.
In addition to the various reactions on the head and face, he is weak and has a bit majestic.
"Well, Liu Bei also made a mistake and tried the method of using heaven and man as his or her. Unexpectedly, there were such precious armor in those dangerous places." Liu Hong gasped for a while, breathed steadily, and said with satisfaction.
"Yes, Your Majesty Hong Fu, the demon fox is dangerously, and it is not as good as the imperial guards to drop golden armor. This divine armor is even more dropped by the king beast inside, which is worthy of His Majesty's gain." Zhang Rang said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, there are such materials in this dangerous place alone. If the states and counties in the world are harvested, your Majesty will definitely achieve the achievements of the emperors and will be the great Han Dynasty in Yongchang." Zhang Rang praised with admiration.
Seeing that Liu Hong was satisfied and Zhang Rang finished speaking, Zhao Zhong said with concern: "But such a dangerous exploration, the soldiers suffered serious casualties, and it was not a long-term solution."
"It is enough to recruit ordinary soldiers. Humph, this monster fox is in danger, and other prefectures and counties will not be empty. After passing on the officials of each prefecture, they will be able to pay attention to their own taxes and salary." Liu Hong said with some advice.
Zhang Rang's eyes rolled, and he knew what Liu Hong was referring to him, and he heard Zhao Zhong speak out again.
"Your Majesty is rich in the world, and recruiting soldiers is not difficult. However, the time spent on training soldiers is very large. The imperial guards should not be moved lightly. If the marching troops are drawn, I am afraid it will be the general..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, what Zhao Changshi said is not bad, and the general must have known the situation in such dangerous places. The demon fox in the dangerous places is tyrannical, and the soldiers suffer losses. I am afraid that the troops will be difficult to continue in the future..." Zhang Rang continued.
"Don't worry, my father, I have already thought about it, and I should look forward to the long-term. My father and mother sent someone to the place,
Let local officials invest in the army and then explore various dangerous places." Liu Hongdao.
Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong was very good at judging Liu Hong's thoughts and knew his feelings. Liu Hong really planned to send people to the place to ask for money to recruit soldiers.
After that, these soldiers were placed in the local area for training and exploration, and nominally the local guards, and the harvest was naturally taken back by Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty is wise, this is a good idea, and we can also master the troops scattered everywhere." Zhao Zhong said flatteringly.
"But... Your Majesty, if the general interferes with it? After all, most local officials are from aristocratic families." Zhang Rang said carefully.
"This is also something I worry about. When the government order is issued, He Jin needs to not be noticed." Liu Hong said to Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong.
After all, Liu Hong was an emperor of the Han Dynasty. No matter how domineering the family of foreign relatives was, at most he resisted the issuance of government orders. This was a dispute over the government.
If the emperor's order is released, they cannot ignore it. Even if they resist, they must obey. Unless they risk reshuffle the emperor and change the emperor, it will not be a problem of domineering.
"If this is the case, you should find a way to distract He Jin. Otherwise, he would be able to keep a close eye on him all day long, and it would be difficult for him to succeed." Zhao Zhong thought.
"Hey? Speaking of which, Your Majesty still remembers the Donglai Prefect Li Ling?" Zhang Rang's eyes lit up after thinking for a moment.
"Well, how could I forget that I also enthroned the general of the army and paid attention to him. Who would have thought that he would be incompetent in such a failure?" Liu Hong said angrily.
"Yes, last year, there was a rumor that he formed a large army to go south to Yangzhou and went to a dangerous place. After that, there was no news. If it were speculated based on the place of the demon fox, it would probably have been wiped out." Zhao Zhong inferred based on the information in his hands.
"Hmph, I wanted him to distract the attention of those in the General's Mansion. Tens of thousands of troops were killed. I think it would be difficult for him to succeed. He is reckless and useless." Liu Hong cursed.
If you want to say that Donglai is not remote, it is also a corner. Xuzhou is on the side and is covered by Mount Tai in the North Sea. No one has ever been watching it.
In addition to letting Zhang Ning Dianwei lead his troops to Kuaiji in his early years, Li Ling took the sea and water routes to and from Xue Jiaowu, which were rarely noticed by the world. The attacks and plundering other dangerous places were also carried by the soldiers and few people followed him.
When Liu Hongchu heard that Li Ling had tens of thousands of troops heading south, he still had some expectations for Li Ling. There were many families in Yangzhou, and although they were not mainstream, there were many relatives who were tempted by the foreign relatives.
He was not afraid of Li Ling's trouble, but he hoped that Li Ling could attract He Jin's attention. It would be better for the two to squat. Even if Li Ling lost, he could still be free.
But Li Ling's army never returned. After inquiring about it, the Blood Dragon Dock was dangerous. Now that he understood the intermediate dangerous place, he used his own to judge others. But Li Ling was useless.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, the family often pays attention to Li Ling. It is reported that he has mastered a treasure land for meat production in Donglai. In recent years, he has had sales dealings with many prefectures and counties." Zhang Rang said with a smile.
"I also know that although food is important, it is not outstanding at the price. I also know that it sells a lot of low-level weapons and equipment, and it is not too ugly."
"I heard that his elite soldiers were wearing blue armors a few years ago..." Liu Hong curled his lips, too lazy to say anything more.
In recent years, the Eastern Han Dynasty was indeed short of food, but what was lacking was the food for the people to live. The powerful and powerful never lacked such things. No matter how fierce the shouting was, Liu Hong never saw it if it was exchanged for money.
Besides, as long as we do not hoard the chaos, we will sell the grain to big merchants, and the big merchants will sell it to the people, and the people will have enough food and drink, and taxes will be returned to the court.
In the end, there was no disaster in the world and wealth still flowed into the upper class to divide it up, so Liu Hong didn't care about Li Ling's selling grain. As long as the people were full and hungry, they would be purified.
As long as the food and supplies are not a tragedy, they never care about selling them. Only those who hoard or resell them at high prices are the ones that are really unlucky.
"Your Majesty, although this food is not worth much, it is still a long flow of water when it is large. I heard that there are already many more soldiers in Donglai this year." Zhang Rang continued and continued.
"Because there are often tall soldiers under his command, with enchanting female soldiers and majestic male soldiers, all of whom are strong and generous, it seems that Li Ling is still building a large-scale construction in Donglai."
"The miscellaneous family estimates that the grain-producing place of Li Ling is extremely suitable for training new recruits."
"Even if Li Ling is tyrannical, he believes that he has food and forces the people to build a soldier. However, Donglai is far away, and after all, the world cannot check it out in detail."
"We can exaggerate the publicity of it, saying that the Donglai Granary also has precious treasures. I think the family will be greedy, and no matter what, they will incite tests?" Zhang Rang analyzed the plan.
"Ha, the child is not aware of the greatness of the world. He has not had enough food for two days, so he dares to do civil engineering. What my father said is that he has a tall and enchanting female soldier?" Liu Hong sneered and asked with great interest.
"..." Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
Your Majesty...Isn't the point here?
Forget it, they also know that Liu Hong's hobbies are somewhat different from those of most men in the Han Dynasty. Our Majesty prefers tallness and long legs.
