Chapter 34 Taizong Chapter 34 Jiaqing Today, Touring the Southwest(2/2)

Hey, in his opinion, the Chang family father and daughter have impure motives, have a business reputation, and are suspected of being sold for a price, so they are not a good match.

However, Concubine Zhao refused to listen and even felt that Zhao Kuangyi, her uncle, was stretching too far and even wanted to interfere with Liu Wenhuan's marriage. At the same time, what she valued was Chang Wei's great reputation, and marrying such a daughter-in-law was also for Liu Wenhuan's sake.

Be famous and have a bright face.

On the other hand, using the Chang family as a link can strengthen the connection with the Guo family, which may work wonders at critical moments.

After learning about Concubine Zhao's secret thoughts, Zhao Kuangyi almost scolded her for being stupid and short-sighted.

The emperor is a pragmatic person. If you are trying to gain fame and gain fame, won't this make His Majesty displeased?

At the same time, since everyone has already thought of winning over the Guo family, why not directly ask for the Guo family's daughter and go around the Chang family? How much of the friendship between the three generations of a declining family that existed decades ago is left now? Guo Tong

Although her granddaughter is not as talented as Chang Ling, is she still not worthy of Liu Wenhuan?

Unfortunately, Concubine Zhao was stubborn and Zhao Kuangyi had no choice but to curse her views on women in his heart, unless the emperor vetoed the marriage.

Unfortunately, Liu Yang never expressed anything publicly at this time. On the contrary, after Liu Wenhuan got married, Chang Kun, Chang Kun's father, was directly promoted from a marginal member of the Ministry of Industry to the supervisory censor of Hebei Province.

Luan Jia traveled all the way west, passed Chang'an, and landed in Hanzhong. Liu Yang made a very careful inspection. With Luoyang as the capital, the Kansai region could not be ignored.

Especially the Guanzhong Plain, of course, is not as fertile as it once was, but in fact, the annual crop output is still quite large. Without the huge blood-sucking beast of the imperial court lying around, it is more than enough to be self-sufficient. This is still in addition to paying taxes.

In the case of endowment and branch edges.

When we arrived at the Hanzhong Plain, it was just average, with abundant output, which really made people happy. After entering Jiannan, the situation was not so good. Although more than a year had passed since the Shu Rebellion, the sequelae of the war were still serious and devastated.

Such a scene cannot be erased by no less than ten years of hard work.

Both the climate environment and the people of Sichuan are still in a slow recovery period. However, there are still patches of rice on the Chengdu Plain, and the golden season is what the people of Sichuan have experienced in the past five or six years.

The first full farming season was very difficult.

However, this is a good sign, and it also means that Jiannan Road has returned to normal order and is on the right path of development. With these fields, these people, and these rice, the grand occasion of the Land of Abundance will one day come.

One more thing to mention is that nowadays, the main rice grown in Sichuan is Champa rice. In this regard, the imperial court has made great efforts to promote it for decades, and the rice production in the southern part of the Han Dynasty has also increased year by year. Nowadays, rice

Like wheat, it has become a staple food on the dining table of the Han people.

When he arrived in Chengdu, Liu Yang did not bother to praise Li Hang, Xu Shilian, Liu Tinghan and other civil and military officials for their contribution to the recovery of Shu. He first worshiped Wuhou Temple, then Pan Gong Temple, and then went to a community in the suburbs of Chengdu to pay homage to those who were in the chaos of Shu.

Those who died were neither officers, soldiers nor rebels.

At the same time, Liu Yang asked Lin Te, the deputy military envoy of Wude, to find representatives from all walks of life from all over central Sichuan, invite them to drink and dine, and listen to their voices, so as to judge the public sentiment and examine the merits and demerits of local officials' governance.

Of course, what's more important is that Liu Yang generously apologized to the people of Shu, saying that the chaos in Shu was due to the court's ineffective supervision and poor government governance, which ignored the suffering of the people of Shu. At the same time, he swore to the people that he would not violate the law for daring to bully good people.

Nobles, officials, landlords, and merchants must be punished.

It has to be said that Liu Yang bent down and performed some people-friendly operations, and the effect was remarkable. At least, as the matter continued to spread, the remaining resentment of the people in Sichuan towards the court and the emperor was completely eliminated.

They came to the understanding that the emperor and the court were far away in Luoyang, the capital of the capital, and it was normal for them to be somewhat negligent in the supervision of Shu. They concluded that the worst was indeed the unscrupulous nobles, corrupt officials, and local tyrants and evil gentry in Jiannan.

.

Liu Yang stayed in Chengdu and its surrounding areas for more than a month. Obviously, this was his main destination for this tour. The officials and people in central Sichuan who encountered serious disasters also needed comfort from the supreme ruler, and there was nothing better than personal care.

Seeing things more effectively.

In addition to inspecting political officials, it is more important to visit the people's sentiments, paying special attention to salt, tea, and silk, which are the leading industries in Sichuan. They even went to the south to observe the production process of well salt in person, met with salt workers cordially, and presented those

The salt worker who worked as a cow was moved to tears.

Originally, Liu Yang wanted to go further south to Qianzhong and Yunnan, but he was persuaded by his ministers. Although Qianzhong and Yunnan have been attached to him for a long time, they are still frontier places. The emperor's presence in person is of paramount importance.

On the one hand, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. In addition, due to the influence of climate and epidemics, we have to be careful.

Liu Yang was not a person who could not listen to advice. He sighed and suppressed his idea, but he sent an envoy to convey the edict and summoned some powerful chieftains from Guizhou, Yunnan and Tubo to Chengdu, hosted a banquet in honor of them, and talked about "friendship".

At the same time, he once again assured them that the imperial court would respect and protect their existing interests. Of course, they also needed to contribute their "loyalty" to the imperial court.

After such a "Chengdu Conference", the chieftains and chieftains were very moved. Starting from the third year of Yongxi's reign, there had been no major chaos in the southwest of the Han Dynasty for more than 30 years. Even if there was a small chaos, it was quickly suppressed by the army and chieftains.

, some could not even reach the capital.
