Chapter 298
On the way back to the Zhangjiayuan from the bathing ditch, Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng and others were most excited. They understood what Zhang Chao said about the source of confidence in producing four stones per mu. Zhang Chao had enough fertilizer and enough long-term workers to handle the rice fields, and he had plenty of water to irrigate.
In other words, if there are no seeds, no seedling sheds, no sufficient fertilizer and sufficient water, and enough manpower to cultivate carefully, and the weather is beautiful, there will be no disasters, so that the yield of four stones per mu may eventually be produced in one quarter. If any conditions are not met, the yield will not reach four stones.
Li Jiancheng's boots were covered with mud, and his robes were covered with mud spots.
"Fertilizer and water are the two most difficult points to guarantee." Wei Zheng was thinking about this problem along the way back. There is no problem in selecting seeds and setting up seedling sheds, but the key is fertilizer and water.
There is a lack of drought in Guanzhong area, and there is no advantage in growing rice. If Zhang Chao's rice cultivation method is promoted in the Jianghuai area, there is no shortage of it. The weather is also suitable, but there is also a lack of fertilizer.
According to Zhang Chao, the rice does not require a little or two fertilizer, but a lot of fertilizer. The seedling fields need more fertilizer, and several top dressings are required in the middle of the seedlings. When the seedlings are transplanted into the rice fields, top dressings must be added every once in a while.
Fat, fat is the key.
At noon, in the Zhang family courtyard, the prince and his party changed into dirty clothes and boots.
After changing his clothes, the prince asked Zhang Chao to take him around.
"So you have prepared for a long time and have built a fertilizer factory outside Chang'an City."
Li Jiancheng was very surprised and amazed that Zhang Chao had actually built a large fertilizer factory.
"I really can't imagine that these five grains and reincarnation things have such great effects. But this is really not convenient to make and transportation is also more troublesome."
After walking around outside, Li Jiancheng suddenly lost interest in rice, fertilizer and other things.
When he returned to the Zhang family courtyard, he called his son, King Taiyuan, and asked him some of his homework. He told him that his son did not waste his studies, but instead became much more cheerful than before, and he did not look too weak. He seemed to have a much rosy face, so he was quite happy.
Let his son go out to play, Li Jiancheng said to Zhang Chao, "Your place is going well, don't stay here all day, go back to Chang'an early, and Chongwenguan also wants you to host the Chongwenguan."
Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Last time, according to your wishes, I asked the court to stop the four-stage platform. The court set up fifteen roads and sent the censor as the observation envoy. But later, the King of Qin immediately reported that the world was not stable, and changed the general manager to the governor, and set up a large governor's office and three governor's offices in each road. Now, just the fifteen generals and forty-five generals candidates, the Qin Palace has been making efforts."
Originally, Li Jiancheng was quite proud and recently attacked Li Shimin one after another. He first withdrew four stations and then laid off the princes' guards' mansion.
Li Shimin wanted territory but no territory, and no soldiers, so he thought he could rest assured.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin reported to create the sixty governor's office system in a blink of an eye, and so many governor's offices were created at once, and the generals of the Qin Prince's Office also gained many positions at once.
King Li Shentong of Huai'an became the governor of Hebei, Duke Cao Li Shiji of Hedong became the governor of Hedong, Li Daoxuan was the governor of Jizhou, and Princess Pingyang was the governor of Daizhou.
Li Shentong has always been on Li Shimin's side for these important positions of governor. Although Li Shiji has always been a middle-level station, Li Shiji and Li Shentong have always had a good relationship and have always been under Li Shentong's command in the past.
Now a great governor of Hebei and a great governor of Hedong, neither of them is Li Jiancheng's own people. Originally, Li Yuan, Wang Junkuo, and Li Yi were in Hebei, so they were already from his side.
Now all three of them have been transferred back to Guanzhong, Li Yuan has been dismissed from his post and has been demoted, and has become a commoner. Luo Yi has been transferred to Jingzhou, and Wang Junkuo has been transferred to Huizhou.
However, the old generals of the Qin Mansion were all released into governors.
Qu Tutong became the governor of Henan Road, and Liu Hongji became the governor of Shannan West Road.
Now the emperor intends to use Li Shimin to lead the Gyeonggi-do governor and Yuanji to lead the Gyeonggi-do governor.
After all the work, Li Shimin felt stronger and stronger. Although the sixty governors had not been selected, the Eastern Palace did not have any advantage.
"Wen Yuan, you have always been very wise, but what can you do to curb the Qin Palace?"
What can Zhang Chao do to curb the Qin Prince's Mansion? Even if there is, it is impossible to really tell Li Jiancheng.
After staying in the East Palace for so long, Zhang Chao also became more and more familiar with Li Jiancheng. In the past, he always thought that Li Jiancheng lost unjustly during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and thought that Li Jiancheng's loss was just accidental.
But gradually, he found that Li Jiancheng lost at all.
Li Jiancheng has been the crown prince for five years and has been in Chang'an for several years. But until now, he is really pitiful. In addition to Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and others, his wife's family, Zheng, fully supports the East Palace.
No matter how many there are, there are only some kittens and puppies that cannot be on the table.
Heavyweights like Li Xiaogong, the King of Hejian, are actually just standing on Li Yuan's side. It is fake to say that they support the prince. After so long, even the prince's honor cannot afford to manage their strength, so there must be a problem.
In the struggle with Li Shimin, he was originally in a dominant position, not to mention that Yuan Ji also wanted to overthrow the King of Qin first. But what did Li Jiancheng do in Chengdu?
The upright struggle in the court could not suppress Li Shimin at all. Although Li Shimin failed to fight for the throne and exchange the reserve, at least he still had the courage to change the army at the critical moment.
Li Jiancheng is a bit ambitious, or a bit indecisive.
Anyway, Zhang Chao felt that following such a boss would have no future. Although he was a time traveler, it was even more terrifying to say that he could change this trend with his own strength.
It feels like Li Jiancheng is just a little better than Yang Yong.
He just didn't let Li Shimin take his legacy directly.
Think about it, Wei Zheng and others have advised Li Jiancheng to take action many times. Since conventional means cannot harm Shimin, then just use unconventional means.
Unfortunately, Li Jiancheng didn't have that courage and raised so many elite dead soldiers, and in the end it was all in vain.
Many people think they can control the situation, but they lose too badly in the end.
This reminded him of a saying by boxing champion Tyson. Before being beaten, boxers had many good moves to defeat the opponent!
Zhang Chao is just a little man with no foundation. He can't control the general trend. If he travels through time and becomes Li Jiancheng, well, then this history may really change. Unfortunately, he is just a prince who washes his horse.
"I heard that the King of Wu has entered Beijing?" Zhang Chao asked.
"Well, I went to Beijing the day before yesterday. Your Majesty will be the Prince of the King of Wu and the Young Master of the Prince." Li Jiancheng was very happy to say this. King of Wu Li Fuwei is a powerful figure and has control over Jianghuai. Now Li Fuwei has entered Beijing and has served as the Eastern Palace. In his opinion, this has greatly increased the strength of the Eastern Palace.
Seeing that he was so happy, Zhang Chao felt a little reluctant to break his dream.
If you want to win over people like Li Fuwei, it would be better to spend some time to win over generals like Li Xiaogong and Li Jing. And can't Li Jiancheng see that the court asked Li Fuwei to enter the capital to seize his power. The prince's Taibao and the prince's Shao Zhanshi were just a jobless addition.
Next, the court will definitely take over the Jianghuai River.
By then, Li Fuwei had no territory or subordinates, and he would still be a royal title. Such a person would be a dead dog in Chang'an City, and it would be useless to win him over.
Moreover, history has proved that Li Fuwei was willing to enter the court, but his brother Fu Gongyou was very dissatisfied. In the Jianghuai Army, he was the second-in-command, but when Li Fuwei entered the court, the Tang Dynasty would take over Jianghuai, he would be nothing. Li Fuwei also became a king of a different surname, and Fu Gongyou could only be a Duke of Shu, and he was nothing if he was granted a title.
Zhang Chao became more and more disgusted with Li Jiancheng.
He had no intention of participating in Li Jiancheng's plan. Anyway, Li Jiancheng didn't say that he couldn't stand the mud, but he was no match for Li Shimin at all.
The emperor was so inclined to him, and most of the prime ministers in the court stood by the emperor to support the prince, but he himself was not successful. After a few years of hard work, he did not come up with an effective solution.
Zhang Chao has already bought insurance from Li Shimin. As long as Li Shimin doesn't betray him, he is actually quite detached now.
No matter your brothers fight, he is invincible.
As long as you don’t hurt yourself, it’s better. No matter how you fight, I will live my comfortable life.
Li Jiancheng didn't get any good suggestions from Zhang Chao, and returned to the capital in a little disappointed manner.
On the third day after Li Jiancheng returned, a major incident happened. The newly entered Beijing, Li Fuwei, the King of Wu, was actually killed in the palace of the King of Wu.
When Zhang Chao heard the news, he was shocked.
Why did Li Fuwei die? In history, he entered the dynasty this year, and then rebel next year, and died suddenly in Chang'an the next year.
No, why is this history becoming more and more unreliable?
Why is Li Fuwei dead now? Could it be that Li Yuan took action? It shouldn't be. Li Fuwei has received the order to go to Beijing, why did Li Yuan kill him?
Li Fuwei suddenly died of Chang'an. Didn't this make his brother rebel in Jianghuai?
rebel!
Zhang Chao suddenly thought of a possibility that someone deliberately killed Li Fuwei in order to force the Jianghuai army to rebel. If this is true, there are four suspects. First, Gao Kaidao and other rebels who are getting worse and worse today. Killing Li Fuwei caused suspicion and even rebellion of the Jianghuai army.
The second suspect was a Turkic person, who could not bear to see the Tang Dynasty, so he killed Li Fuwei and caused Li Tang to have civil strife.
The third suspect is Li Shimin.
After killing Li Fuwei, the Jianghuai River and Huai River were in chaos, the court would have to use troops again. Maybe Li Shimin had the opportunity to request the resumption of the Taiwan Strait, and even had the opportunity to re-support the troops in the south.
Although this is a bit brainy, it is not impossible.
The last one is Fu Gongyou, killing Du Fuwei to blame the Tang Dynasty, and then finding the opportunity to rebel and become the boss himself.
Zhang Chao was a little panicked, why is the history getting different?
Li Fuwei died suddenly in Chang'an. Just a few days later, the Jianghuai Army, led by Fu Gongyu, proclaimed himself emperor in Danyang and established the country as Song.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shan'an, another hero who once traversed the Yangtze River and Huai River, led the five prefectures to surrender to the court in the first month of this year. He was appointed as the chief supervisor of Hongzhou by the court. He also suddenly rebeled against the court and accepted the title of Fu Gong's title, becoming the Song Dynasty's Southwest Xingtai Shangshu Order.
"Sir Zhang, the prince summons you to see you immediately."
"Is it the Jianghuai rebellion?" Zhang Chao asked the person who came.
"The court just received the news that Gao Kaidao, Yuan Junzhang and the Turks suddenly divided troops and marched southward. Li Daoxuan, the governor of Jizhou, died in battle, Princess Pingyang, the governor of Daizhou, was defeated and injured, Yanmen was surrounded, and Youzhou was surrounded!"
