Although Liu De didn't say it, Ji Di and other entourage courtiers were very keenly aware that His Royal Highness of his own family, since he stepped on the land of Hedong County, began to become excited, as if there was a paradise here.

"Your Highness......" Ji Di found an opportunity to come over and ask Liu De: "Should you consider stopping by to visit the two clans of Pinglu Hou and Xiu Hou?" ”

Hearing this, Liu De nodded: "Of course!" ”

Pinglu Hou Liu Li and Xiu Hou Liu Fu are both sons of Liu Jiao, the late King of Chu Yuan, and they are also sealed in Hexi County, not far from Hedong County.

Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, was the younger brother of Emperor Gao Liu Bang and one of the founders of the Han family.

At that time, Liu Bang's rise was inseparable from Liu Jiao's assistance and advice, therefore, after Liu Bang sat in the world, he rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, first as Yang Xinjun, and then Han Xin himself died, abolished as the Marquis of Huaiyin, Liu Bang divided Han Xin's Chu State into two, the south was given to Liu Jia, for the King of Jing, and the east was given to Liu Jiao, for the King of Chu.

Later, Yingbu rebelled against Han, Liu Jia died on the battlefield, and the heirs were cut off, so the Jing Kingdom disappeared.

So, Liu Bi picked up this big bargain and was named the king of Wu, the so-called Wu State is actually Liu Jia's Jing Kingdom of three counties and fifty-three cities.

And Liu Jiao's vein, among the princes of the old Liu family, has always had a good reputation.

Liu Jiao himself was a humble gentleman back then, famous for his outstanding culture, and in those years, the name Liu Jiao was synonymous with a gentleman.

The current king of Chu, Liu Wu, is the son of Liu Ying, the second son of Liu Jiao.

And Liu Li is the third child of Liu Jiao, and Liu Fu is the fourth child.

Liu Li and Liu Fu. Unlike Liu Wu, they are all great loyal ministers, and in their previous lives, they fought to the death against Liu Wu's rebellion plot.

Later, Liu Lieng attacked the king of Chu. It is inseparable from his position.

Here, I have to mention a more interesting thing.

After Wu Chu raised his troops, Liu Fu was the first to stand up and resolutely stand on the side of the imperial court, personally went to Chang'an to apologize, said that his family was unfortunate, and handed over his Chehou seal letter and seal of the country, saying that he was no longer worthy of being Hanchen. Ask the Son of Heaven to punish the crime.

How can such a knowledgeable and loyal servant punish sin?

Not only can it not be punished, but it must be greatly rewarded.

So, the cheap dad was excited. issued an edict to crown Liu Fu as the king of Chu, and only waited for the army to destroy Liu Wu, and then helped him to ascend the throne.

Originally, Liu Fu's position as the king of Chu. It's already unshakable.

But where do you know that there are more strong players in the strong......

Liu Fu's brother Liu Li did even better!

Although he was one hand behind his brother in action. But the reaction speed and hands-on ability are stronger than that of my younger brother, not a little bit.

Liu Li used his connections in the Chu army and his courtiers to constantly send messages to Zhou Yafu to convey Wu Chu's truth, and even rebelled against several courtiers around Liu Wu, the king of Chu, so that they deliberately delayed and delayed the march time of Wu Chu's army and the supply of grain and grass, so they made great contributions.

After the rebellion of Wu and Chu was pacified, the cheap father reversed himself, and even made Liu Li the king of Chu and renamed Liu Fu as the red waiter. 2,000 additional households.

So, Liu Li's department. Since then, it has become the orthodoxy of the king of Chu of the Han family.

Although Liu Fu's line suffered a heavy setback, its descendants branched out innumerablely, and two thousand years later, it became the largest source of the Liu family in the Celestial Empire, and the Liu family in Pengcheng was known as the largest family with the surname Liu in the world.

Now, although there is no such thing yet.

However, Pinglu Hou Liu Li and Xiu Hou Liu Fu are currently the oldest in the Han family clan after Liu Bi, just this identity, since Liu De came to Hedong, he had to go to Hexi to meet these two imperial uncles.

So, the car to the east, along the east of the river, across the Hedong Plain, a day later, Liu De and his party appeared on the edge of the Yellow River under the ancient city of Dayang County, to Dayang, Liu De looked at the map, and then looked at the mountains and landforms on the opposite side of the Yellow River, I feel a little familiar, that opposite is not the Sanmenxia City of the later generations?

Isn't that the land under your feet the land of the Hereafter?

In the Celestial Empire, when Liu De was in school, there was a beautiful female classmate who was from Pinglu!

Coming here, Liu De was also embarrassed, thinking that back then, when he was young and impulsive, he had come here by train!

It's just that things are not people, and Dayang County at this time does not have half a modern color, it is the county seat, and it is also a low city wall, low houses, and there is no connection with later generations.

After entering the county seat, the residents of Dayang County were very curious about the sudden arrival of the aristocratic convoy, and the people even went out to watch.

Liu De looked all the way and found that most of the residents of Dayang County had yellow faces, and it was obvious that most of the ordinary people were suffering from malnutrition, and many of their clothes were even tattered and patched.

"Isn't Hedong always a land of ointment, the richest in the world?" Liu De asked Ji Di: "Why do the people have vegetables, but the common people don't even have a piece of good clothes?" ”

Ordinary people at the bottom live in poverty, and this Liu De naturally knows.

Today, if you dare to say that you will be able to fill your stomach, and from time to time you can still get some meat, it is only the farmers who are concerned.

In other places, they can barely make ends meet, and some peasants are even living in extreme poverty, often relying on gruel to satisfy their hunger.

But the health of the residents of Dayang County can no longer be described as poor.

Even in Liu De's previous life, there was no such situation among the residents of that county.

The county is like this, so do you dare to think about it in the countryside?

As a ruler, Liu De knows very well that if the people can't eat enough and will starve to death, then most of them will tear up the flag and rebel.

No matter how loud the slogan blows, no matter how big the cowhide blows, if you can't fill the stomachs of the people, the people will let you know what it means to be a prince and a general, and you would rather have a kind!

"Your Highness is angry!" Seeing Liu De's anger, Ji Di on the side hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't know, maybe this locust plague has affected Dayang, right?" ”

"Go and ask!" Liu De commanded.

Since the beginning of Emperor Xiaowen of Taizong, the Han family has been wearing a skin that loves the people like a son, no matter what, no matter when, the prince of the Han family and the Son of Heaven must also put this on his lips, even if it is Liu Che later, when he saw the people in his most difficult time, he was also shh

For Liu De, who is determined to inherit the career of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, there is nothing more important than letting the people live a better life!

It didn't take long for Ji Di to come back with a gloomy face, he saw Liu De, his mood was quite low, and he said depressedly: "Your Highness, the minister has inquired clearly, this locust plague has indeed affected Dayang, there are thousands of acres of corn in Dayang County, all of which have been eaten by locusts, therefore, the price of grain in the city is high, and the people really have no money to buy rice, so they can only eat leaves to satisfy their hunger......

"How did Hedong County do it!" Liu De said angrily: "Where is the grain in the root warehouse? What about the grain in the wet warehouse? Why don't you bring in relief for the victims? ”

The Han family set up two large storage places in this granary in Hedong, the root warehouse and the wet warehouse, which stored millions of stones of corn all year round, and Liu De did not believe that Hedong County had no ability to save itself.

Ji Di replied dejectedly: "This is the reason why the minister is sad, the minister heard from the people that Zhou Yangyou, the county guard of Hedong, was at odds with the county lieutenant Shentu, and the two fought viciously, and Shentu was from Dayang, so Zhou Yang Taishou did not allow a grain of grain to flow into Dayang ......"

Nimara Gobi!

Liu De stood up suddenly.

At this time, there was only one thought in his heart: Zhou Yangyou must die! (To be continued......)

PS: The vicious battle between Zhou Yangyou, the Taishou of Hedong, and Shen Tu, the county governor, is clearly recorded in historical materials, and these two enemies finally died together......

Ahem~~~~~~~

Therefore, bureaucratic discipline is something that should never be counted on......
