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

Chapter 403 Liu Rengui Promoted to Zhonglang General
East Road, Zhongzhou!

After a day and a night of transmission, Li Er's imperial decree was finally sent to Zhongzhou, Hedong Road!

The Zhongzhou navy did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to Yulin City to carry cow dung to Guanzhong to fertilize the field according to Li Er's order.

Now is the spring plowing season, if the Zhongzhou navy does not transport the cow dung to Guanzhong in time, the summer grain in Guanzhong will definitely be halved!
At noon, the Zhongzhou Navy's garrison banners were flying, and there were soldiers gathering everywhere!
Lieutenant Liu Rengui of the Zhongzhou Navy Zhechong stood on the commanding platform wearing a helmet!

Chu Suiliang, the governor of Zhongzhou, also stood in front of Liu Rengui.

Now Chu Suiliang is an official of the fourth rank, one level higher than Liu Rengui, a general of the fifth rank!
Therefore, the Zhongzhou Navy is still dominated by Chu Suiliang.

Although Chu Suiliang is not the governor of Zhongzhou, he can still command the Zhongzhou Navy to carry goods to Gyeonggi-do and Luoyang for sale.

Half an hour later, the Zhongzhou Navy finally assembled [-] five-toothed ships and [-] sailors.

Liu Rengui walked up to Chu Suiliang and said, "Lord Chu, the Zhongzhou Navy has arrived and we can set off!"

Chu Suiliang patted Liu Rengui on the shoulder and said: "Liu Rengui, this is His Majesty's decree. You can't make mistakes, otherwise it will affect your career!"

Liu Rengui cupped his hands and said, "Lord Chu, please rest assured, the Zhongzhou Navy is now escorted by a five-toothed boat, and will ensure that the cow dung can be transported to Chang'an smoothly!"

"Then I wish General Liu a smooth journey!"

After Chu Suiliang finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui rushed to Chu Suiliang and shouted, "Let's go!"

"Here!"

Lieutenant Guo Yi of the Zhongzhou Navy immediately went to convey Liu Rengui's military order.

Woohoo!

In a short while, the Zhongzhou Navy's garrison heard the sound of horns, and a hundred five-toothed ships sailed out of the port in an orderly manner.

Liu Rengui also set foot on a five-toothed ship and stood on the bow deck to command the Zhongzhou Navy!

Chu Suiliang led the Zhongzhou civil servants and generals to stand on the bank and watch the Zhongzhou navy.

Half an hour later, the Zhongzhou navy headed upstream to Yulin City.

Then Chu Suiliang also brought Zhongzhou civil servants and generals back to the Zhongzhou governor's mansion to perform their duties!

……

Hedong Road, Yulin City!
Two days later, the Zhongzhou navy led by Liu Rengui finally arrived in Yulin.

The main general stationed in Yulin City is Su Dingfang!

In the morning of the same day, Su Dingfang loaded cow dung on the Wuya ship of the Zhongzhou Navy according to Li Er's order.

Since the cow dung is dried, it has no smell!
However, using a five-toothed boat to transport cow dung to Guanzhong is still a bit overkill!

Su Dingfang said indignantly because of this: "Liu Rengui, there are many merchant ships carrying coal on Hedong Road, why don't you conscript these merchant ships to transport cow dung?"

Liu Rengui said solemnly: "General Su, Prime Minister Yuchi said that the cow dung must arrive in Guanzhong before the spring plowing is completed, otherwise it will delay the farming work!"

Su Dingfang suddenly realized: "So this is the idea of ​​the young Prime Minister Yuchi!"

Liu Rengui nodded and said, "If Prime Minister Yuchi hadn't given the order, I wouldn't have dared to ruin the five-tooth boat!"

At this moment, the [-] five-tooth ships of the Zhongzhou Navy have been loaded and ready to set off.

Su Dingfang waved his hand and said, "Liu Rengui, remember to say hello to Prime Minister Yuchi when you arrive in Chang'an City!"

"The last will obey!"

After Liu Rengui finished speaking, he immediately returned to the flagship Wuya Ship to command the Zhongzhou Navy!
Su Dingfang also returned to Yulin City with his own soldiers.

Now the urns of the four gates of Yulin City have been built.

One of the cement roads leads directly to the East Road Zhongzhou, and this cement road has now become the main official road for the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to communicate with Mobei!
Yulin City, which was originally inaccessible, now has hundreds of merchants coming to do business every day!
As a result, Yulin City is thriving, and the board and lodging business in it is not much worse than those inns in Chang'an City!
An hour later, Liu Rengui finally led the Zhongzhou Navy to set sail for Guanzhong.

One hundred five-toothed ships loaded with one million stones and cow dung, the entire fleet stretches for ten miles, which is very spectacular.

Some merchants who needed Chang'an City also returned to Chang'an with the Zhongzhou Navy!
With the escort of the Zhongzhou navy, these merchants are very at ease, not afraid of the Yellow River water bandits boarding the boat and robbing them.

Although the water bandits in the Yellow River have been wiped out by the Zhongzhou Navy, occasionally there are still some lone wolf-style water bandits who specialize in robbing merchant ships that are not escorted by bodyguards!

These water bandits have no lair, they come and go without a trace, and the Zhongzhou navy has nothing to do with them.

But overall, the Yellow River waterway is still very safe.

Because large merchant ships are basically equipped with guards, lone wolf water bandits dare not rob these merchant ships at all!
Otherwise, these water bandits will never return.

In order to fight against these lone wolf water bandits, Chu Suiliang also offered a huge reward for their heads!

This also deterred some desperadoes, making them dare not become bandits!

Under the leadership of Liu Rengui, the Zhongzhou navy had a smooth journey, and no water bandit dared to jump out and rob the small merchant ships behind!
……

Gyeonggi-do, Xianyang!

Two days later, the Zhongzhou Navy led by Liu Rengui finally arrived in Gyeonggi Province.

At noon, Liu Rengui moored the Wuya boat and ordered the peasants to unload the cow dung.

The Hubu had arranged for ox carts and horse-drawn carts to wait at Xianyang Ferry, and they loaded cow dung in an orderly manner to the nearby Hubu warehouse.

In the afternoon, the cow dung from one hundred five-toothed ships was finally unloaded.

Liu Rengui can finally enter Chang'an City to visit Yuchihuan.

But before departure, Liu Rengui bought some gifts near the Xianyang Ferry!
The gift that Liu Rengui bought was not expensive, but the gift was light and affectionate!
The Zhongzhou Navy temporarily stayed at Xianyang Ferry for repairs.

……

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace!
When Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, learned that Yulin cow dung had arrived in Guanzhong, he was surprised and delighted, and immediately went to the palace to report the matter to Li Er!
Liu Rengui, the captain of the Zhongzhou navy, was prudent in his work, and was even praised by Liu Zhenghui.

Li Erlong Yan Dayue said: "Zhechong Commander Liu Rengui of the Zhongzhou Navy has made great contributions in carrying cow dung to Beijing, he canonized as Zhonglang General of the Zhongzhou Navy, and rewarded with a hundred pieces of cloth, I respect you!"

Liu Zhenghui was dumbfounded and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhonglang is a fourth-rank military general. Does Liu Rengui have such a great credit for carrying cow dung?"

Li Er smiled and said: "Liu Zhenghui, Liu Rengui made great achievements in the conquest of the Turks last time, this time I just pushed the boat along the way and promoted him!"

Liu Zhenghui suddenly realized: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The prince will soon draw up the decree.

After a while, Liu Rengui was promoted to Zhonglang General of the Zhongzhou Navy, and the imperial decree to reward a hundred bolts of cloth left the Ganlu Hall.

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, then bid farewell to Li Er and returned to the six departments of the three provinces!

Now that the lack of cow dung in Guanzhong has been solved, Li Er smiled happily and no longer looked sad.

"This year Guanzhong will definitely have another bumper harvest haha!"

Li Er thinks of this Longyan Joy, and is full of expectations for this year's summer food!

……

Suzaku Street, the mansion of Duke E!

In the evening, just as Yu Chihuan came home from duty, Liu Rengui came to visit him!
Yuchihuan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately invited Liu Rengui to come in.

At the same time, Li Er's imperial decree also arrived at Yuchi's house.

"Liu Rengui complies with the order!"

The eunuch who passed the decree immediately raised the imperial decree to summon Liu Rengui to follow the decree.

Yu Chihuan had no choice but to take Liu Rengui out to meet the eunuch who passed the decree.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that the Zhongzhou Navy's Zhechong Duwei, Mushou, have made great achievements in the war, and a special gift of [-] pieces of cloth, canonized as the Zhongzhou Navy's Zhonglang General, hereby!"

After the eunuch who delivered the edict read out the imperial edict, he handed it to Liu Rengui.

"The final general will accept the order!"

Surprised and delighted, Liu Rengui immediately accepted the imperial edict handed over by the eunuch!

Yu Chihuan was also happy for Liu Rengui to be promoted to Zhonglang General when he saw Liu Rengui was promoted. From now on, Liu Rengui will also be regarded as a general of the Tang Dynasty!
