The general led the throne to the west to fight, and Pingming rode a large army.

On the 28th of the first lunar month, General Di Xia led an army of 80,000 to attack Yizhou. The emperor and all officials were sent to Xinting. Looking at the sails of the last fighting ship disappeared, he returned in a disappointment.

In this battle, Di Xia's Changyun Army had a force of 30,000 troops, Zhang Huai's Pingjiang Army had a force of 30,000 troops, and Jiang Ziyan's Fengjie Army had a force of 20,000 troops, and 80,000 troops went up the river.

In addition, Liangzhou also dispatched 10,000 Liangzhou troops to the south from Hanzhong to Jinniu Road as a support.

Di Xia’s strategy was not beyond the expectations of most people, or to pacify Yizhou, just as Pei Zhi said, there were only two roads, no shortcuts, no tricks, only a dignified army, fighting for strength and blood courage.

Jinling City has returned to peace. After all, the battlefield took place in the distant Yizhou. Except for those whose families joined the army to fight, the lives of ordinary people have not been affected or changed.

The last day of the first lunar month, also known as the dark day, people came to the water, women washed their clothes, men roamed and rafted, and had fun at the water, so as to eliminate disasters and reduce disasters this year and be healthy.

The maids and servants in the mansion gathered happily in the alley outside to send out the poor. The so-called sending the poor is to serve a bowl of white porridge, then lit a torn clothes, dance around the fire, and worship a poor man named "Gengyue".

Geng Yue was originally a rich family, but he didn't like to eat, wear and live well. His clothes had to be worn out, and he didn't eat meat or enjoy it. He had to live a poor life. He froze to death in a humble alley on the last day of the first lunar month.

The sacrifice to Geng promise is not to miss it, but to stay away from him!

The fear of poverty is therefore engraved in the national spirit and has not changed for thousands of years!

"The county marquis, the lord is on the way to the garden, and I specially ordered me to pick up the county marquis and go to the lake with me..." Huang Yuaner has always had a good attitude towards Xu You, or because Xu You respected him very much when he first met.

Eunuchs also have self-esteem. With the system of Chu, they have no chance to commit crimes. The power they have is very limited, and the benefits of getting along well are very low. But the more this is the case, Xu You's respect is rare.

"Oh, I'm neglected, I'm neglected! I got drunk last night, got up late tonight, and I'm tired and long-lasting for a long time."

Xu You had just got up and had not had time to wash up. He hurriedly wiped his face and came out to see Huang Yuaner in disheveled clothes. Huang Yuaner was very happy, which shows that Xu You did not treat him as an outsider. He felt happy, and his eyes were filled with a crack, and he said, "Marquis of the County, even the lord is going out to send him poor, so you can rest assured. Some people say that the County Marquis of the County Marquis are rich and the best in Kyoto, and it is true that he is well-known."

You can't stay at home on a dark day, you have to go out. Whoever is at home will find someone on your appointment. Even the emperor is no exception. You must follow the customs and leave the palace to hide from poverty.

Xu You smiled and said, "How can I call my wealthy family wealth? Compared with the families of the families of all surnames, it's just a firefly." He heard the lingering sound in Huang Yuaner's words, pretended to be careless and asked, "Which man looks down on Xu so much?"

Huang Yuaner smiled and said, "Yesterday, the King of Shanyang entered the palace and chatted with the Lord, saying that the county marquis ate from all directions, and offered more than 10,000 yuan a day, and even the curtains, car clothes, which were extremely beautiful... However, the county marquis should not take it to his heart. The Lord scolded him on the spot. I came to Changganli not once or twice, and I could not even compare with the middle-class family. How could it be considered extravagant?"

Since the Yuanxing period, An Xiulin has advocated frugality, set an example, vigorously reversed the trend of extravagance and desire in the previous dynasty, and severely rebuked all the extravagant and wasteful ministers.

Xu You has low requirements for quality of life and can be clean and comfortable. If it weren't for Zhan Wenjun's care, he wouldn't even have a maid. What's the intention of King Shanyang to complain like this?

Xu You smiled and said, "It's still Da Changqiu who knows me..."

Huang Yuan'er gave favors and did not dare to delay the serious business. She looked outside the door and stood up and said, "Marquis of County, let's go now? It's not good if the Lord has waited for a long time."

"Da Changqiu, please!"

"I dare not, the county marquis invites you first!"

Leyou Garden is located on the south bank of Xuanwu Lake on the west side of the Fengzhou Mountain. It is the first of the eleven royal gardens in Jinling. Others include Hualin Garden, Fanglin Garden, Baishui Garden, Bowang Garden, Jianxing Garden, Fangshan Garden, Lingqiu Garden, etc.

Xu You came here and was familiar with the road. With Huang Yuaner, he met An Xiulin in the Yuji Pavilion. He sat alone, wrapped in a cloak, and no one was serving him. In order to protect his fertility, the queen did not follow him. Hundreds of concubines and palace maids were either boating in the lake in front of the pavilion to enjoy, or chasing and playing among the surrounding trees. The fragrant Luo brocade sleeves were colorful and lively.

But Xu You looked at An Xiulin in the pavilion. He was an emperor and rich in the world, but at this moment, he was so lonely again!

I, four words to cover it up:

A lonely man!

Huang Yuaner walked behind An Xiulin lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the county marquis has arrived!"

An Xiulin turned his head, smiled, and said, "Come on, I'll wait for you after you have warmed up."

Xu You sat down opposite him, An Xiulin waved his hand to signal Huang Yuaner to leave, leaving only the two of them to drink and chat in the pavilion. This time he did not mention military affairs, but only talked about the marriage. After Luo Li was silly and drank a pot of wine, he finally got the precautions for the wedding.

Xu You took the opportunity and saw that An Xiulin was in a good mood. He took out Yuan Qingqi's memorial and handed it over. An Xiulin was stunned and said, "What?"

"Ning Changyi retrieved the miraculous rice seeds from Linyi last year, but they were ripe for two seasons, not picky about the land, drought-resistant, and large yields. I don't know much about the specific situation. This time I met when I returned to Wuxian. She asked me to pass the memorial to my brother-in-law, which should have a detailed introduction..."

An Xiulin received the memorial and had just read it halfway through, and was very happy. After reading it all, he couldn't help but stand up and paced back and forth in the pavilion excitedly, saying, "Okay, this is a great thing. With such rice seeds, people will no longer be worried about hunger or distress..."

Xu You thought to himself that it is not that magical. If the grain output increases, the population will double. If the times rely on the weather to make a living, there will always be a year of disasters. Even if there is no year of disasters, the people will still not be able to eat enough in troubled times.

When prosperity comes, the people suffer! When death comes, the people suffer!

An Xiulin's footsteps suddenly stopped and said, "Qilang, when you see the harvested rice, Ning Changyi did not deceive him, right?"

"What I saw with my own eyes is that there are several large granaries full of them, and there is no falsehood!" Xu You smiled and said, "Besides, the priest Ning has been separated from Heming Mountain. He only wants to pass on the Dharma and teach the scriptures and continue the Taoist sect. He dare not and will not deceive the emperor!"

An Xiulin trusted Xu You because no one would use this kind of lie that is easy to expose to deceive the emperor and said, "I will ask a minister to go to Wuxian to collect seeds tomorrow and immediately implement them nationwide..."

Xu You dissuaded: "Brother-in-law, it's better to be cautious when it comes to state affairs. It's better to let Yangzhou governor's office try it in Wu County. By March this year, it will still catch up with the farming season... If the spring harvest is good, the autumn harvest will be expanded to the entire Yangzhou. If the autumn harvest is good, it will be confirmed that it can be ripe twice a year and will be pushed to the whole country next year..."

An Xiulin thought for a while and praised, "I am impatient! Okay, let's do it this way. Tomorrow, the court will discuss the matter. Let the ministers of the branch work together to Wu County to handle this matter. It is definitely necessary to do it."

Xu You volunteered and said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter if I'm in Jinling. Why not ask my brother-in-law for a mission and follow the minister to Yangzhou to have a long experience..."

"Okay, it's difficult to grow crops. It's the best way to pay attention to grain. If you don't eat for three days, father and son cannot live with each other. If Qilang is interested in farming, I will support it. Let's do this. Anyway, you are familiar with Ning Changyi. This time, I will use you as the grain management envoy and are fully responsible for the trial planting in Wu County."

Xu You thanked him and said, "Ning Changyi is preparing to establish a new sect in Linwu Mountain. With her position in Tianshidao, it will inevitably cause military turmoil in Yizhou and will be extremely beneficial to General Di's conquest. He also asked his brother-in-law to give him a title and declare the world, indicating the court's respect and support. In this way, one can help the people who are committed to the public and law-abiding in the states, and the other can weaken the ambition of the traitors in Yizhou to fight to the death."

This is something the two of them had already talked about. In addition, Yuan Qingqi had just made great contributions, An Xiulin agreed very readily and said, "Don't bother the second master. You will bring the magic uniforms, the golden book and the silver seal to Linwu Mountain to announce the edict, and entrust Ning Changyi to the Shenzhen Yu Lingyuanjun to take charge of Jiangdongdaomen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, after several days of preparation, Xu You and his party went to Wu County under the order. The governor of Yangzhou was An Zishang, and the person in charge was the old acquaintance, Bao Xi, the chief of Yangzhou. Xu You communicated with him in advance, and the cooperation between the top and the bottom was very good.

After field investigation and immediately recruiting farmers who participated in the planting last year, it was confirmed that the magical effect of Chameng rice was not an exaggeration. Several Caos in charge of farming in the Du branch were going to emit red lights. Everyone knew that this would be an innovation that changed the general trend of Chu. All participants would be promoted. Maybe they would be famous in history. Even if only one word or another was mentioned in the Spring and Autumn style, they were countless times better than unknown.

It took only three days, after the consent of Xu You, the governor of Yangzhou, decided to try the rice in the city in Wu County during the spring planting, but it was not easy to convince the people to change their courses.

Xu You suggested that the story of Chameng rice be compiled by storytellers, spread it day and night throughout the county, and the planting area built by Yuan Qingqi was used as a demonstration area, allowing the three elders from all villages to come and inspect it. As long as the top figures in these places think it is feasible, the people will follow the herd mentality and follow the trend.

The specific government affairs were handed over to professionals, and Xu You no longer asked about it. He went to Linwu Mountain with his decree and arranged incense tables and various ceremonial guards according to the standards of the enfeoffed Taoist sect. He stood in the south, and the imperial edict said:

In response to the heaven and the time, I received this clear order. I appreciate the rule of cultivation and the people who have attained enlightenment. Both body and spirit are wonderful, and they are remote in the mountains and forests. They believe that they are as high as human beings, and are rare in this scholar. The ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, Dongzhen, would rather grow in mind. He studied for Laozi, worshipped the temple of Emperor Xuan, climbed to the top of thousands of feet, and built a building of thousands of miles. After the heart is solid, the mysterious transformation is even more obvious.... I have encountered repeated droughts, and I prayed for the mysterious disasters of the earth, and I prayed for the mysterious rain. My achievements have been affected by common things, and I should wear honors. What an honor! Only when I admire my clear instructions, I can give the 'Shenzhen Yu Lingyuanjun'!"

After reading the edict, Xu You smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, congratulations, please accept the edict!"

The Taoist sect enfeoffment was granted by Qian Dao as the true person and Kun Dao as the Yuanjun. There were different titles, but their status and status were the same. Yuan Qingqi knelt down and accepted the order and received the Dharma Supplement Gold Book and Silver Seal.

From now on, she was the head of the Taoist sect recognized by the court. Linwu Mountain was also renamed Huangting Mountain, Zuo Shen Temple was changed to Shenzhen Temple, and Youxu Temple was changed to Yuling Temple.
