Chapter 1106: The Road to the Prince

"Brother Zhengze, how long can you stay when you come back this time?" Xia Hongsheng changed the topic and asked Liu Renliang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that Xia Hongsheng had changed the topic, Liu Renliang naturally didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "I will only stay for seven or eight days when I come back, and I should leave again in the next two days." ”

"Listening to what Brother Zhengze said, it seems that Liaodong has developed around the Flowing Ghost Country?" Xia Hongsheng asked again.

Liu Renliang nodded and said, "Exactly." Now Liaodong Dao has opened a mutual market in the country of flowing ghosts, and Meng Beng, the lord of the country of flowing ghosts, admires the education of the Tang Dynasty very much, and has written to me many times, requesting that someone can be sent to open a school to teach the education of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Xia Hongsheng looked left and right, and suddenly hooked Liu Renliang's shoulder very mysteriously.

"Uh, Young Master Xia, this is ......" Liu Renliang was stunned for a moment and stopped.

"Brother Zhengze, do you want to make meritorious service?" Xia Hongsheng said mysteriously to Liu Renliang, and after that, he added: "Make a great contribution!" ”

"This ......" Liu Renliang looked at Xia Hongsheng: "Xiaguan naturally wants to make meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Good!" Xia Hongsheng patted Liu Renliang on the shoulder and said, "Come with me, I'll show Brother Zhengze a way." If this achievement is successful, it is not a problem for Baozheng to be crowned a prince and enter the marquis. ”

Liu Renliang was stunned: "Oh? ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled, but Liu Renliang was excited.

He was promoted by Xia Hongsheng to be promoted from a small county to a military academy, and he was able to become the assassin of Liaodong Province and pass through Liaodong. It's a step to the top. Liu Renliang himself is even more grateful to Xia Hongsheng in his heart, and he also believes in Xia Hongsheng's ability very much. If he said that he was able to make a prince a great merit, then it must be.

It was Liu Renliang who heard Xia Hongsheng's words, and his heart was naturally excited.

The two walked all the way, got outside, got into the carriage, and because they saw Liu Renliang getting into the carriage together, Qi Yong asked, "Son, go home?" ”

"Book House." Xia Hongsheng replied.

Qi Yong answered, drove to Dongshi, and arrived at Xia Hongsheng's bookstore. On the lower floor, there were many people sitting or standing, or simply sitting on the floor, holding books and reading in fascination.

Xia Hongsheng went to the second floor with Liu Ren, found a seat, put down the curtain, and asked someone to bring paper and pencils.

Spreading out the paper, picking up the pen, and looking up at Liu Renliang, who had been staring at him curiously, Xia Hongsheng smiled and asked: "Brother Zhengze, the most important military merit in the Tang Dynasty, the so-called siege of the city, among the army, which is the heaviest?" ”

"Naturally, it is the work of expanding the territory and destroying the country!" Liu Renliang was stunned for a moment, and then said very hard. Inside the eyes, there was already a bright one.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and said, "What Brother Zhengze said is good. Datang has the most important military achievements, especially the merit of opening up territory and expanding territory. However, military merit is the merit of the country, the merit of the king, and the righteous brother has not heard of the merit of the people? ”

"The work of the people?" Liu Renliang asked, "Please also ask the young master to speak clearly!" ”

"Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, and the people can have medicine. The Suiren clan made fire, and the people could cook food. These are the work of the people. Xia Hongsheng said: "Giving birth to the people and nourishing their lives, benefiting the people of the world, this is called the merit of the people." What I want Brother Zhengzheng to do today, if it is done, it will be a triad, not only the merit of opening up the territory and the country, but also the merit of benefiting the people. How is this not enough to be crowned as a prince? ”

Liu Renliang was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up, bowed deeply to Xia Hongsheng, and said, "Please also ask Young Master Xia to teach me!" ”

Xia Hongsheng didn't say much, just raised his pen and began to draw on the paper.

Liu Renliang hurriedly went over, but saw Xia Hongsheng sketching a winding line on the paper, and he didn't know why for a while.

Datang, Liaodong, Dongying, Exodumei, Wandering Ghost Country, Yaksha Country...... One by one the names were marked out by Xia Hongsheng, and Liu Renliang understood that this was originally a map.

"Brother Zhengze, you know that to the east of Dongying, there is an endless sea." Xia Hongsheng put down his pen and said: "But on the other side of this sea, there is an extremely large no-man's land, with an area of about 42 million square kilometers!" Oh, this square kilometer is the unit used to record the area in the military aircraft workshop, and in layman's terms, its area is enough to be as large as four or five Datang and the surrounding subject countries combined! ”

"What?!" Liu Ren stood up suddenly.

"However, this ocean is too big, and it is difficult for our Datang ships to pass through today, so they can't reach it." Xia Hongsheng said to Liu Renliang.

Liu Renliang looked at the map, then at Xia Hongsheng, and said, "What the young master ordered the officials to do, but it has something to do with this borderless land?" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Not bad." This borderlands is huge, with only a few uncivilized wildlings on it. But on this, there are many kinds of grains, fruits and vegetables that are extremely important for Datang! There are several of them, all of which can be used as staple food, and if they are planted in Datang, they are no less than grains! There are even a few of them that can replace the existing grains. Not only is the yield large, but it can be planted in a wide range of Datang.

"What?!" Liu Renliang straightened his body: "No less than five grains?!" ”

"Yes, if my Datang gets it and promotes it properly, the people of the world should have no hunger!" Xia Hongsheng said: "This merit alone is enough to make Brother Zhengzheng famous in history!" ”

Liu Renliang took a few quick breaths, quickly calmed down, looked at Xia Hongsheng with a very solemn and serious look, and said, "Since the young master has a famous word for the lower officials, there must be a way to reach it?" Please also ask the young master to speak clearly. For the sake of the people of the world, Zhengzheng will set foot there and find those seeds! ”

"Good!" Xia Hongsheng nodded, pointed to the map again, and said, "Brother Zhengze, look at this place." This part of the ocean, only this one, is very close to each other by land. However, this place is too far north, and for nearly half of the year, it is frozen and cannot be passed by ships. Brother Zhengze is now in Liaodong and has developed into the country of ghosts. To the north of the ghost country, there is a night fork country, and the brother should have heard of it! ”

"Not bad. The Yaksha country is not as good as the ghost country, and its people drink blood and are still savages. Liu Renliang replied.

Xia Hongsheng said again: "After the Yaksha Country, continue to walk northeast, and you can reach the strait here. In the middle of winter, it is all ice, and the ice is thick enough to pass the carriage and horses. At that time, people will be able to reach this new land from here. ”

"Once you reach the new land, you turn south and go all the way to here." Xia Hongsheng circled the map again and said, "The seeds of those crops are all here." There are countless grains, fruits and vegetables that I have in Datang, and the seeds can be brought back to Datang for cultivation and planting, and there are countless more grains, fruits and vegetables in Datang! Moreover, this is a place where no one has ever set foot except for the local savages, the area is so large, and the mineral deposits are innumerable, and the merits in it, hehe......"
