Datang Fenghua Road

After Han Yue was stunned for a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked Li Chong, "How did you report it before? You said that Baiqisi found that Wu Guogong had more than 40 sons. Why did this suddenly become more than 70? Should Baiqisi rectify it? Once?"

Li Chong hurriedly took out a booklet from his arms, opened it and read it carefully.

Then the guy looked at Han Yue with a confused face, and whispered: "Your Majesty, that's right, Baiqisi's investigation is very clear, Feng An... er, Wu Guogong did have male heirs, and they attacked each other to death twenty, and the rest 62 people, 42 out of 17 female heirs, [-] of them were married..."

Feng An laughed in the distance, continued to kneel down on one knee, and explained boldly: "Your Majesty, don't doubt, your Baiqisi's investigation is not wrong, but that was the situation eight months ago, and now the old minister has Thirty children were born."

"My Nima... gave birth to thirty more? Or was it a surprise birth in eight months?"

Han Yue almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, staring blankly at Feng An's white hair between his temples.

Feng Ang laughed again, and said, "Your Majesty sees that the minister is old, so he has some doubts in his heart, ahahaha, the people in Lingnan are too hard, and many women starve to death if they don't marry. Although the minister is old and disabled, as long as There is still a bit of strength, I have to save a few if I can save it.”

The words seemed bold, but there was an inexplicable sadness in the tone.

Han Yue's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he noticed that Feng Ang's left arm sleeve was actually empty, and then he thought that this person was already gray-haired, and it was indeed old and disabled.

But the sadness hidden in Feng Ang's tone should not be this, but something else that makes him sad...

Han Yue grasped the meaning of the other party's words, and suddenly said: "Does Wu Guogong feel haggard?"

He didn't let Feng An get up from the beginning to the end, and Feng An actually kept kneeling on one knee respectfully. However, this old man who was nine years older than Li Shimin didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he gave a long sigh and cupped his hands again, and said sadly: "Your Majesty is right, I am really exhausted. I heard that you were going south eight months ago, and immediately married more than 30 women in succession. It was not for lust, but to let the tribes where these women come from, and my family Come here, they can enjoy His Majesty's conferment..."

These words were a bit shameless, but Han Yue felt sad in his heart. He understood and understood.

What Feng Ang said was that he had been waiting for Han Yue to open Lingnan, and then he immediately defected with his family. This old man was Li Yuan's pro-appointed prince, and he would definitely be rewarded and given generously when he defected.

The old man himself didn't care about the rewards, but he married more than 30 women in a hurry. In Lingnan, when a woman married, he had to take care of the tribe behind the woman. The old man wanted to use Han Yue's ability to support more people.

As for the children born, they may not even be Feng Ang's own children...

Maybe those women had husbands secretly, just married Feng Ang under the name, and then borrowed the old man's defection to the righteousness, so that Han Yue could help the shepherds of the tribe.

The Son of Heaven has the responsibility of sheltering all the people, but when sheltering, he is also divided into distant and close relatives. After all, the people of Lingnan are far away, so this Wu Guogong came up with this strategy.

He let out a breath slowly, his eyes suddenly showed the color of memory, and murmured: "In the Great Sui Dynasty, the old minister was also a Huo Huo general in the court. , Then the world gradually became chaotic, the minister did not want to fight with the same clan in the Central Plains, so he moved to protect a group of people here! I don't want to fight the world to be the emperor, I just want to watch the people under my command eat and drink. The son died in battle and wept, the old man died and his grandchildren gave him clothes to die..."

Han Yue couldn't help but nodded, and he gradually developed admiration for this old man.

You must know that Feng Ang was the Zijin Guanglu doctor of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he was also the general of Zuo Wuwei. He had great military power in his hand, and his subordinates were full of talents. This person's initial strength and status were stronger than Li Yuan, and he could be called the Great Sui Dynasty Hall. The pinnacle of people.

If he also participated in the war in the Central Plains of Zhuolu, then at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it would not be as simple as turning against the king on the [-]th road, and he should have turned into a rebel against the king on the [-]th road, so that more people might die.

However, the prince could not bear to raise his sword and soldiers to fight with his family, so he chose to take people to escape to Lingnan. Coming to Lingnan is equivalent to self-exile. Such actions are tantamount to national heroes.

Han Yue suddenly raised his arms and said solemnly, "Empress Wu, it's cold on the ground, you and I met for the first time today, we should have a long talk, stand up first, if you have anything, let's talk slowly..."

This is equivalent to recognizing Feng Ang and not treating the opponent as an enemy anymore.

Unexpectedly, Feng Ang not only did not stand up, but instead changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees with a thud, and suddenly kowtowed heavily to Han Yue, making a whimpering cry.

After kowtowing, he still couldn't stand on his knees, but he stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes hard, then raised his head and looked straight at Han Yue.

The white-haired old man held his head high, and suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, I beg you to lend a hand. Lingnan is too poor to have enough food. This old minister is from a martial arts background. He can lead troops to fight and manage the territory." No, more than 30 years have passed in the blink of an eye, what I was like when I came here is almost the same now! Your Majesty, the veteran represents the 970 million poor people in Lingnan, please, we must integrate into the Chinese Empire, and we must have enough to eat sons of..."

Han Yue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned over and jumped off the horse.

He walked over and over, solemnly supporting Feng Ang with both hands.

The corners of Feng An's eyes were obviously moist, and he continued to look at Han Yue with longing on his face, and suddenly began to cry again, choked up and said: "The people who followed me are hungry every day, and the local aborigines are also hungry every day, Your Majesty, you know Why does the old minister go crazy and marry his wife? I am putting pressure on myself! Every time I marry a woman, I tell myself to take good care of their mother clan. I have married more than 30 wives in 100 years, but unfortunately there will be no more Ability to marry one or two more."

This is a great sage who truly serves the country and the people...

Many people may think it is too hypocritical to leave it in later generations, but in ancient times, there are indeed many people with a broad mind. In every era, there is a kind of person who will feel that he is ashamed of the people as long as he sees that the people are not getting enough to eat. people.

It's a pity that people in later generations are blinded by money. There are very few people who are pitiful and pitiful. It is said that there is an actor named Gu Tianle on Hong Kong Island who is very good. Get paid for doing good deeds.

The actor surnamed Gu established many Hope Primary Schools in obscurity, but he never advertised what he had done. On the contrary, whenever he saw that there were children in the mountains who could not get enough to eat, the actor surnamed Gu would silently shed tears.

……

……

Feng Ang was still looking at Han Yue eagerly. It seemed that because he had waited for a long time, he never saw Han Yue nod to agree to him. The white-haired old man's face was a little sad.

He couldn't help but want to pull Han Yue's hand, he raised it in mid-air but put it down, softly begging: "Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to help? We don't ask for happiness with you, we just ask for your no. They will starve to death, the people will have enough to eat, and they will be satisfied with their lives..."

Han Yue frowned slightly and pondered: "What Wu Guogong said, I always feel a little weird when I hear it. I brought people here to experience the suffering of Lingnan. The problem of eating is indeed a big problem, but it is not to say that The unsolvable thing, Guo Gong, you have been in Lingnan for [-] years, haven't you found that there is wealth everywhere?"

Han Yue stopped here for a while, suddenly stretched out his hand to guide the direction, and said to Feng Ang in a deep voice: "There is Champaign rice not far to the south, as long as it is transplanted and popularized among the people, at least three crops of grain can be harvested a year, whatever you want. After planting for a few years, it is guaranteed to fill the granary. Lingnan is close to the sea, and there are fish in the sea, which can be caught with nets. There are many mountains in Lingnan, and the mountains are rich in fruit.

He looked at Feng An with piercing eyes, and finally said with deep meaning: "I can get food when I first come here, why do you starve to death after sitting in town for 30 years?"

Feng Ang stayed sluggish, and muttered for a long time: "The local officials in Zhancheng have been there, and the poor are clanking everywhere, but I have never seen rice that can harvest three seasons? As for fishing in the sea? Your Majesty, People can't eat fish all year round. The old minister once ate it for three months in a row to save food, but he couldn't bear it any more at the end, and when he smelled fish, he wanted to vomit..."

After speaking with a long sigh, he glanced at Han Yue with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "This minister is a military general and has a tough personality, but I have been eating for three months and I can't hold on to it. If it were replaced by ordinary people, they would not even be able to survive for a month. I can't stand it..."

Han Yue was stunned, and suddenly felt that he was making a big joke.

He suddenly remembered that Champaign rice had not been discovered in this era. That kind of rice can indeed be harvested three seasons a year, but now it is still used as a weed in the wasteland of Champaign.

The same is true for the fish problem. Due to the mixed living of indigenous people in Lingnan, it is easy for people from the Central Plains to be indigenous after coming here, and their former cooking skills are gradually lost.

In this era, let alone Lingnan, even the Central Plains did not eat much fish. Because of the lack of cooking methods and various seasonings, it was impossible to get rid of the fishy smell of fish and shrimp.

You can definitely eat it, but few people can eat boiled fish for a month in a row. Even if you can eat it for one month, can you eat it for two months?

Three months, one year, ten years?

Therefore, although Lingnan is rich in fish resources, it cannot become the main food of the people.

Feng Ang suddenly knelt down again with a thud, and said loudly: "My ancestral home is from Gaozhou, and there is Han blood in my bones. Your Majesty, do you think there is a special way for rice and fishing? Please help the people. ."

This white-haired old prince knelt down several times for the common people, and didn't care that he was a person of the same era as Li Yuan.

……

Chapter 789 With a population of more than 900 million, this is a great fortune

He kept begging and begging: "Your Majesty, you have never seen how miserable Lingnan is. In the Central Plains, people starve to death only in famine years, but people starve to death here every day and every day. I am already old. , I no longer have the ability to find food for the people, but I can’t rest in peace before I die, I want to find a way for the people in Lingnan to eat..."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Han Yue with piercing eyes, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty established an empire and should protect the people. Since you were born 13 years ago, the lives of the people in the Central Plains have changed every day. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. I just look forward to your coming. We are also Han people, and we are eager for His Majesty's mercy and support."

He was afraid that Han Yue would be disgusted by the burden, so he hurriedly came up with some excuses, and said loudly: "Seven years ago, Your Majesty and Tubo fought in Jiannan Road. After hearing this, the old minister immediately led the cavalry to support him. Unfortunately, the mountain road is difficult and time-consuming. As a result, the war has ended before entering the Central Plains, I knelt at the junction of the Central Plains and Lingnan and wept up to the sky, cursing God for not giving me a chance to surrender, if I can catch up that time, Lingnan will already be Your Majesty's minister!"

Han Yue's heart moved, he didn't expect that there would be such secrets here.

At that time seven years ago, the Great Tang not only had wars in Jiannan Road, but also two wars in the Western Regions and the Western Grasslands. In addition to the rebellion of the domestic family alliance, it really felt like an enemy of the world.
