Chapter 408: Ye Hua, who boldly uses people

A veteran who returned to the field after disarming and running to raise flowers, this thing was so interesting that it immediately aroused Ye Hua's curiosity, of course, what really made him care about it was Huayuankou, after all, this place was known to everyone in the future generations...... Ye Hua wasn't sure if there would be an amazing coincidence, but he didn't dare to relax at all, not to mention that he had too few talents available at his hands to let go of one!

Murong Deye is not a person who is good at words, and he blushes when he speaks, but Ye Hua knocked on the side and asked a lot of things...... It turns out that the Murong family is really a general, Murong Yanzhao's father is called Murong Zhang, and their ancestors can even be traced back to the Xianbei Murong clan of the Yan Kingdom during the Sixteen Kingdoms...... It's really a wealthy family for hundreds of years, which is extraordinary.

But in Ye Hua's mind, two names quickly flashed, "Murong Fu, Murong Bo", grandma's, isn't this the legendary Gusu Murong clan?

Not to mention, the old gentleman Mouyong did create based on this Murong clan, but the real Murong family didn't want to restore the short-lived Great Yan Kingdom hundreds of years ago, not only did they not have bad intentions, but on the contrary, they were loyal. Speaking of which, the Murong family's restoration of the country, and Pan Mei's harm to Yang Ye, and Wu Dalang's husband and wife discord can be put together, and they are called the "three strange grievances" created by the literati!

Murong Yanzhao was born in Jiangmen, and later followed Guo Wei, and after Guo Wei became emperor, he served as the official of Xitou.

Murong Yanzhao is a late bloomer, he was not reused in the early stage, until the first battle of Gaoping, made great achievements, Chai Rong promoted him to be the deputy capital inspector, became Zhao Kuangyin's deputy, and later conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, Ping Jingxiang, assisted Zhao Da, and the yellow robe was added, he made great contributions and became the founding minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, some people say that they are brothers who grew up together since childhood, and their friendship is extraordinary, which is also nonsense, because Murong Yanzhao is fourteen years older than Zhao Kuangyin, and just a few years after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Murong died, which made Zhao Da very sad, and he was posthumously named the king of Henan County to show his mourning.

The descendants of the Murong clan will produce many talents, and the wealthy families are prosperous, but there is no rebellion, and no one is worried about recovering the country...... This is the Murong family in history, but when Ye Hua appeared, the situation changed......

For example, after Guo Wei ascended the throne, he placed more emphasis on restoring the rivers and mountains of the Han family, in order to use the infamy of the ministers to kill the monarch and win the hearts of the people.

Since it was to restore the rivers and mountains of the Han family, Murong Yanzhao's ancestors were Xianbei people, so they were naturally excluded, coupled with the formation and training of the new army, the original forbidden army was constantly abolished, and Murong Yanzhao sat on the cold bench.

Unlike other disgruntled people, Murong Yanzhao felt that there was no hope in his career, so he took the initiative to resign and retreat to the forest. His hometown was in Taiyuan Mansion, and now it was occupied by Liu Chong, so Murong Yanzhao moved to live in Guijiayu near Zhengzhou.

Although he had a good background, Murong Yanzhao didn't have much money on hand, and he could even be said to be very poor, only 200 acres of land rewarded by the imperial court.

The Murong family has a large population, and there are only six or seven underage children, and if they want to support their family, the pressure is not small.

Murong Yanzhao pondered that farming alone was not enough to spend, when his family was still prosperous when he was a child, there was an old gardener who specialized in tending to all kinds of flowers, and Murong Yanzhao learned a lot of experience from him.

Now that he has returned to the field and raised flowers for a living, it can be regarded as an elegant thing.

Murong Yanzhao took out twenty acres of land and planted flowers.

Some people have to ask, can you make money by growing flowers?

Asking this kind of question can only show that you are underestimating the pursuit of quality of life by the ancients.

Two hundred miles west from Guijiayu, is Luoyang.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Luoyang planted and cultivated peonies, when the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, Luoyang peony was even more famous in the world, every time the flowers bloomed, the people who moved to the house, the sea of flowers was crowded, and the grand occasion was incomparable.

Although the war weakened the charm of the peony, it did not break the inheritance.

With the restoration of peace in the Central Plains, all industries prospered, merchants came and went, and precious flowers and trees were favored again.

Not only do wealthy families like it, but even the citizens who live a good life are willing to put two pots of flowers at home every New Year to add a festive atmosphere.

Murong Yanzhao's vision is really vicious, and in the first winter, he sold three hundred guan, which is more than ten times more than growing grain.

By the following year, his flowers were sold not only to Zhengzhou, but also to neighboring Huaizhou, Mengzhou, and even Kaifeng...... Earned thousands of dollars.

Murong Yanzhao simply built a big garden at home, and built a small bridge to attract the surrounding people to come and play and watch, and some hawkers took the opportunity to set up stalls to do business, and it actually turned into a market again.

Because it is in front of the garden of the Murong family, people simply call this area "Huayuankou".

Ye Hua was surprised when he heard Murong Deye's introduction.

"I really didn't expect that Ling Zun is still an elegant person, my family can't compare, my grandmother shoveled the garden and planted vegetables!"

After talking a few words, Murong Deye became less restrained, and he smiled: "Father said that he does not seek fame and fortune, and does not seek wealth and wealth. If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. Peach source fragrant grass, far away from the temple, has its own fun. ”

Ye Hua smiled, "It is worthy of being a generational general, with elegant knowledge, and it is really unusual...... By the way, how did you join the army? ”

"This ......"

Murong Deye's face turned red instantly, and there are some things to say, my father has been an official, and he has experienced it, and he has gone home to plant flowers and live a stable life.

These young people have never experienced it.

I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, memorized poems, learned a skill, and let them honestly raise flowers at home, who can stand it?

Murong Deye is the eldest son of the Murong family, and he feels that he has the important task of revitalizing the portal, and he told his father several times that he wants to join the army. But Murong Yanzhao didn't agree.

In the final analysis, the Murong family is a Xianbei person, and they may not be trusted in the army, so it is better to be happy and free than to be looked down upon.

Murong Deye doesn't see it that way, how can he be born to judge success or failure, how can he do it without trying!

The father and son quarreled several times about this, and in the end Murong Yanzhao had no choice, he told his son, it's okay for you to join the army, but don't think I'll help you!

Murong Deye also has a hard temper, if you don't help, you won't help, and I will do it myself!

When he arrived at the Zhaoyi Army, he really started as a big soldier.

However, after joining the army, Murong Deye was calm-headed, and he had to admit that what his father said was right, there was no promotion by nobles, there was no opportunity, and it was too difficult for an ordinary soldier to get ahead.

He joined the army for more than half a year, and was actually sent to see the granary, which was simply used as a people's husband, and I don't know when he had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions?

Murong Deye was so worried that he couldn't sleep, who knew that the opportunity really came.

Liu Jichong rebelled, Murong Deye had a meritorious role in protecting the granary, and was recognized by the soldiers, and now he was standing in front of the champion Hou, everything made this shy big boy a little dizzy and at a loss.

Just at his restrained appearance, Ye Hua dared to say that the Murong family had no intention of returning to the country!

"By the way, how long has Ling Zun moved to Huayuankou, are you familiar with the situation along the Yellow River?"

"There are more than three years, in the first two years, I helped the family sell flowers, went to Luoyang, Mengzhou, Huaizhou, Zhengzhou, and Tokyo Kaifeng, after joining the army, I have been to Weizhou, Cizhou, Huazhou, count, I know a little bit about it!"

Ye Hua smiled, "I know a little bit about this, and I am clearly confident!" ”

Unexpectedly, God gave himself a treasure.

"You come with me."

Ye Hua called Murong Deye to the tent, and on the table, he laid out the map along the Yellow River.

"Let me ask you, if someone wants to dig up the Yellow River, where is the best place to start?"

"Ahh

Murong Deye exclaimed in fright, "Master Hou, who would be so frustrated, why, how dare you dig the Yellow River?" That's going to kill countless people! His eyes were full of fear, and he still remembered that when he had just moved to Guijiayu, it was a torrential rain, and only a small opening was opened, and half of the county was flooded, and more than 100,000 people left their homes, which was extremely miserable...... If the levees were to be dug up, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives!

"That's the case, I predict that if someone wants to use the Yellow River to make trouble, it is purely from a military point of view, how to do it, in order to inflict the greatest damage on the Great Zhou, you just have to say it!"

Murong Deye tried to calm down, in the past, he didn't even dare to have this kind of thought, digging the Yellow River was too frustrating, and he would be punished by God!

But since Hou Ye asked, he had to close his eyes and think hard.

After a while, Murong Deye slowly opened his eyes, and his fingers fell on the north of Zhengzhou, at the entrance of Guijiayu Garden!

"This is it!"

Ye Hua frowned, "Why?" ”

"The reason is simple: the Yellow River flows from Luoyang to the east, the terrain is steep and flat, the sediment is silted, and the riverbed is much higher than the surrounding ground. Coupled with the disrepair, the river embankment is steep everywhere. If the Yellow River is excavated in this area, the river will first collapse Zhengzhou, and then go south along the Bianshui, impact the capital, and even go south to seize the Huai, forming a Yellow Flood area that stretches for thousands of miles. The essence of my Great Zhou, tens of thousands of living beings, are all under the threat of the river! ”

When Murong Deye said this, his face was pale, and his hands trembled unconsciously.

Ye Hua's face became more and more solemn, "This is your opinion?" ”

"It's my opinion, but it's also my father's opinion! My father once said that a general must be proficient in astronomy and geography, mountains and rivers, and waterways. He told me that the siltation of the Yellow River has become a great disaster, but others are inconsiderate, and they have retreated to the forest, and there is really nothing to be done. Only by staring at the river day and night, once there is an accident, he can remind the villagers, inform the court, and prepare early, which is a little effort he can make for Da Zhoujin. ”

Ye Hua took a deep breath, "The old general has a high ancient heart, which is admirable!" ”

Ye Hua walked around the big tent twice, and immediately said: "I appoint you as the general of the Zhaoyi army, and immediately lead a thousand men and horses to the entrance of the garden." ”

"The last general commands!" Murong Deye immediately agreed.

"Don't be busy, in this way, I will write a letter to Ling Zun, asking him to go out of the mountain and serve as the deputy envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, and the heavy responsibility of protecting the Yellow River will depend on him!"
