Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 338 Eating the Wrong Melon

"Return to the five tigers..."

Liu Yizhen flipped through the report in his hand, everything that happened from An Jie's first day to the Imperial College was recorded on the paper, even their conversations were clearly recorded.

"An Jie does have the style of a good general."

Seeing that An Jie was not moved by Xue Andu's provocation, Liu Yizhen's evaluation of An Jie was higher, knowing that not all barbarians are so irritable.

"Building a city-state?

Seeing An Jie's proposal, Liu Yizhen raised his eyebrows slightly.

That's a good note.

If it is possible to build a large number of city-states in Monan in the future...

No!Even if there are only one or two, it is enough to control the vast and vast Monan, and solve the hidden dangers in the north.

only……

It's very difficult.

The construction of the Han city-state was due to the highly developed farming civilization, which made intensive farming popular, so that the people of Huaxia could move to other places without slashing and burning like the previous kings.

After all, there is no shortage of food!

If there is no shortage of food in one place, then the population, economy, and culture will gradually develop accordingly.

The problem is in a place like Monan...

Not suitable for farming at all!

If you want to build a city-state there, you need the country to transport the food from the south to Monan and continuously transfuse blood to Monan.

This extremely unstable survival mode has led to the fact that even if a city-state can be established in Monan, it will only be a flash in the pan and will not last long.

The Hetao Plain is the farthest distance that farming civilization can sustainably develop.

The past dynasties that controlled the north centered on the Hetao Plain and radiated to the north.

"But the advice is not without merit."

It is impossible to build a city-state in Monan, but the Hetao Plain is possible.

Liu Yizhen has personally seen the ancient Cloud City, so he naturally knows the strategic value of the Cloud City.

"The Great Wall does not allow barbarians to enter, but outside the Hetao Plain, it allows them to inhabit..."

"The most important of these is the green storage that has not yet been invented!"

After thinking about it, Liu Yizhen led people quietly to the outskirts of Chang'an to look for the otaku staying here.

Tao Yuanming!
Nowadays, Tao Yuanming seems to be more obsessed with farming, and the two topics in his hand - research on hybrid rice and research on the localization of cotton, are being carried out by him side by side.

The Son of Heaven was also very generous, and directly gave Tao Yuanming a piece of land in the south of Chang'an City to study there.

Xu was obsessed with research, but Tao Yuanming did not notice the arrival of the emperor, and he was still working on the fields, forgetting about the world.

Liu Yizhen didn't bother Tao Yuanming either, just watched him working there from a distance.

"Tao Gong, come over and have a rest! I'll make you a medicinal soup to relieve fatigue."

In a hut not far from the field, there was a woman's voice.

"what?"

Tao Yuanming's wife had passed away long ago, and later she became a hermit and was used to indulging on her own, and she had no plans to continue her life.Could it be that there is a peach blossom now?
Liu Yizhen had a smirk on his face, wanting to see which family's woman actually fell in love with such an old man as Tao Yuanming.

I saw the woman in the hut wearing sackcloth, although she couldn't see her face.But the figure is also well-proportioned, and it seems that he is not old.

It's just that for some reason, Liu Yizhen always feels familiar with that figure...

Tao Yuanming also straightened up at the woman's call at this moment, walked towards the woman, took the medicinal soup, talked and laughed with the woman to enjoy the shade on the thatched shed.

The woman seemed to have told some joke, which made Tao Yuanming look up and laugh.

When he raised his head, he saw Tianzi Lubo not far away.

In an instant, Tao Yuanming's whole body became stiff.

On the contrary, the woman was generous enough to drag Tao Yuanming to salute.

Seeing that woman was so brave, Liu Yizhen even showed a teasing expression on his face.

But gradually...

His face went from ridicule to shock, and finally turned into calm with some anger.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty Saint Christine."

"I'm... uneasy!"

Liu Yizhen stared at the woman for a long time, and the woman also looked straight at Liu Yizhen with calmness in her eyes.

"Sister...why are you here?"

The woman Liu Yi really wanted to eat melons was his eldest sister, Liu Yu's daughter Liu Xingdi...

Did you eat melon and eat yourself?
Liu Yizhen had a headache and asked the attendants around him to disperse, and when he and the two came to the thatched shed, he began to ask with a gloomy expression.

"Sister, this is not polite!"

The dignified eldest princess of the empire was dressed in sackcloth and was farming the fields. This made others think that Liu Yizhen was abusing this elder sister.

Unexpectedly, Brother Liu Xing did not admit his mistake at all. Instead, he told the story of the past: "Before the emperor Taizu made a fortune, his family was poor, and he cut grass and grass in Xinzhou to make a living. And the emperor Taizu could only wear clothes that my mother sewed. I went out with patched clothes, and even though I was a woman, I was still working in the fields at home, why now that Cheshi has become the emperor, he has to forget his previous life?"

Liu Yizhen: "..."

Is this a thing?
But when Brother Liu Xing said this, Liu Yizhen couldn't bear to be harsh.

Compared with Liu Yizhen and other brothers who were born with gold spoons in their mouths, Liu Xingdi has suffered all the way with Liu Yu.

Now Liu Yizhen is only a weak crown, but Liu Xingdi is already in his forties.

In addition, Liu Xingdi lost his mother, husband, father, and younger brother successively...

It's hard to imagine such a tragic fate for the founding princess, but these are indeed real events that happened to Liu Xingdi.

Liu Yizhen scratched his head, it was rare for him to face such a tough family.

He glared at Tao Yuanming, and cautiously asked Brother Liu Xing in a soliciting tone: "Sister, do you want me to give you a marriage?"

The atmosphere in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was open, and it was normal for women to remarry.

Not to mention Liu Xingdi's husband had long since passed away, even if the husband was still alive, it was very common for the princess to kick him away for divorce and remarry.

Compared with those tough princesses in history, this is nothing to Liu Xingdi.

"what?"

Brother Liu Xing was taken aback by the emperor's proposal, and his face flushed like a girl's.

She looked at Tao Yuanming hesitantly, and Tao Yuanming was also blushing.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Liu Yizhen also straightened his back.

"Sister! That's right!"

"You are the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty! Since you have a man in your fancy, do you still sneak around?"

When he said this, Liu Yizhen's tone was extremely domineering, and there was also a hint of warning.

"Sister, why don't you go back to the palace first, I still have state affairs to discuss with Tao Gong. By the way... discuss the wedding date!"

Liu Yi really gritted his teeth and said the last few words, but Liu Xingdi didn't seem to hear it, but nodded in agreement with a little surprise.

After finally dismissing Liu Xingdi, Liu Yizhen looked at Tao Yuanming with an extremely terrifying look.

"Tao Gong! I need an explanation!"

I regard you as an elder, yet you covet my sister?

Nonsence!

At this time, Liu Yizhen felt even more uncomfortable than Xie Hui being his father-in-law, his eyes seemed to burst into sparks, and he glared at Tao Yuanming angrily.
