Main hall.
It was silent, and the sound of bamboo pipes and pipes had stopped.
Everyone in the audience looked at this eunuch.
His face was full of surprise.
At this time, everyone's first thoughts were different.
The first thing Emperor Yongle thought was, were these bandits united by the remnants of Jianwen?
And what Lu Yuan immediately thought about was...
Did the Hangcheng officials... set it on fire themselves?
after all……
This is so classic.
According to historical records, this granary has been hit by fire too many times.
And every time there is a fire, it is either when the food is inspected or when the food is used.
Anyway, if you don’t use this grain, it won’t be a big deal if you leave it there for ten thousand years.
But if you use it, you're bound to get into trouble.
Lu Yuan had great reason to be suspicious.
Maybe it's because Hangcheng is short of food, and Hangzhou officials can't make up for the hole.
After all, this time it was his grandfather who suddenly wanted to go to war, so he made emergency food supplies directly from the south.
This Hangzhou official has no time to operate.
They simply teamed up with bandits and put on a good show.
As for whether it was too deliberate or whether it was too bizarre.
fine.
A detailed list of the various reasons why ancient granaries caught fire is even more outrageous than the leave note written by the author of the online article.
No matter what the first thought is in everyone's mind right now.
One thing they have in common is that.
This bandit dares to rob official roads and burn down granaries. There must be something fishy about this.
What is the official way?
In fact, it is an ancient highway.
It has existed since the Qin Dynasty in ancient times on earth.
The first major thing Qin Shihuang did after taking office was to lay post roads within the territory.
In this way, Da Qin's soldiers can quickly travel to all parts of the country.
Basically, in any dynasty, cutting off official channels and destroying official channels is tantamount to rebellion.
For these bandits, this is simply seeking death.
In ancient times, all dynasties and generations turned a blind eye to bandits and bandits in the mountains and fields.
As long as you don't do anything excessive, the court will basically ignore it or just pretend to fool the people.
It's really because this thing cannot be eradicated by force.
If this was a prosperous time, there would definitely not be many bandits.
On the contrary, no matter how you suppress it, it will never be eradicated completely.
In particular, suppressing bandits is not an easy task.
Otherwise, let’s talk about Liangshan Bo.
Except for a few who are true heroes like Wu Song, the rest are just rotten fish.
If it hadn't been for the eight hundred miles of water, the imperial court would have wiped it out long ago.
"presumptuous!!!"
Long Yan was furious.
Emperor Yongle slammed the table, and everyone immediately stood up and knelt down in the center of the hall.
No wonder Emperor Yongle was so angry.
Jiangnan Granary is the largest granary in the entire empire.
The place in the south belongs to the rear.
Second, food is grown in the south. Things such as potatoes can be grown twice a year.
The natural granary is the largest.
At this time, two granaries were burned, and countless kilograms of grain were lost.
It is even possible that because these two granaries were burned, the expedition time will be delayed.
The most important thing is that as the war lasts longer, the land in the south of the Yangtze River still needs to adjust and transport grain.
If the food and grass in the rear are unstable, how can the army attack?
Good luck, has this food been intercepted again?
Regarding this matter, the banditry in the south must be completely resolved before the army sets off.
The sooner the better, no later than three months!
Immediately, Lu Qing raised his hands and said loudly:
"Grandpa, my grandson is willing to lead troops to the south to suppress bandits!"
When Lu Qing was talking, Lu Yuan looked up.
The prince next to Lu Qing looked helpless.
It seemed that he was trying to pull Lu Qing away just now, but failed to hold him back.
Lu Qingtai wanted a chance to express himself, and this was a great opportunity!
Lu Yuan knelt down and thought, this was also a good opportunity for him.
You can also take this opportunity to go to the south.
The next second, Lu Yuan immediately looked up at Emperor Yongle and said:
"Grandpa, my grandson thinks that this matter is not entirely caused by banditry."
At times like this before, Lu Yuan would never fart.
But today, this sudden speech made everyone a little stunned.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Lu Yuan.
Emperor Yongle naturally looked at Lu Yuan in surprise. After a few seconds, Emperor Yongle raised his head slightly and said:
"tell me the story?"
Lu Yuan immediately raised his hands and said:
"There must be something fishy about this.
The grandson thought that this was most likely because the granary in Hangzhou was in short supply and could not be replenished at the moment.
This Hangzhou official collaborated with the bandits to direct and act on their own.
The grandson is willing to go to Jiangnan to investigate the matter. "
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, King Han and Princess Han were naturally happy.
The joy in his heart was already reflected on his face.
It’s rare! !
It’s so rare! !
My son could suddenly think of this. He was really completely different from before!
And Emperor Yongle was also a little stunned. His grandson...
In fact, this matter is not difficult to think about.
Emperor Yongle immediately thought about the remnants of Jianwen, and then also thought about the shortage of granaries.
It's just that... my grandson, who had been acting recklessly before, could suddenly think of it.
It’s really not easy!
Compared to his grandson's enlightenment, the burning of two granaries in Hangzhou seemed not a big deal.
Emperor Yongle's face looked much better.
At this time, the prince, who was kneeling in front, turned his head and glanced meaningfully at Lu Yuan.
That innocent and fat face looked at Lu Yuan.
Before this……
Whether Lu Yuan built a bicycle, a tricycle, or that soap.
Although his father was full of praise, he only gave verbal praise.
No official position is allowed.
this time……
At this moment, Emperor Yongle suddenly said:
"Lu Qing, Lu Yuan listens...
…”
…
Early in the morning.
Canal pier, brightly lit.
Four large ships docked.
One official treasure ship and three tiger-head warships.
This was all prepared by the King of Han for Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's family arranged a huge ceremony for Lu Yuan's trip.
The servant Princess Han alone prepared more than 300 people for Lu Yuan.
All on that official treasure ship.
There are also three tiger-headed warships.
Above are the soldiers of the King of Han, a total of three thousand people.
Generally speaking, the prince has three guards and one guard with five to six thousand people.
But that's just for the feudal dynasty.
My father did not become a vassal, that is, he only had a few hundred guardsmen.
These soldiers were troops transferred directly from the third battalion by his father.
To protect Lu Yuan.
In fact, it was really unnecessary. Lu Yuan went to Hangzhou this time to investigate official corruption.
Lu Qing was the one who led the troops in the war.
Moreover, it is really against the rules to directly mobilize the army.
But this was the first time Lu Yuan was appointed to an official position, and the King of Han and Princess Han were extremely happy.
I wanted to make this grand scene for my son.
This time Lu Qing also went with the ship.
It was obvious that Lu Qing was not willing to be on the same boat as Lu Yuan.
However, the prince said that Lu Qing should not be extravagant and wasteful, so he insisted on getting on Lu Yuan's ship.
King Han looked embarrassed and raised his eyebrows at Lu Yuan.
This means, look, how dignified daddy has done for you~
Lu Yuan was speechless for a while.
In this way, his prince and Lu Qing were diligent and thrifty.
But my own home is extravagant and wasteful, and I am so happy about my success.
While the family was waiting at the dock for servants and soldiers to board the ship.
There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Gu Qingwan is here.
After getting off the car, he first saluted the prince, the King of Han, the princess, and the two princes who were present.
Then someone was sent to move two large boxes from the carriage.
Of course these are for Lu Yuan.
One box contains clothes. Lu Yuan will go to Jiangnan for at least two or three months.
I'm afraid it will be late autumn when I come back, so it will naturally be cold.
There was also a box of snacks and other items made by Gu Qingwan.
Look at Gu Qingwan's collar, cuffs, and the flour on her neck.
At a glance, it was clear that after Gu Qingwan learned the news, he immediately took action and then sent it non-stop.
There are so many snacks. I'm afraid it's not because Gu Qingwan has been busy working without eating or drinking in the afternoon.
Lu Qing on the side blinked when he saw this scene.
Wuwuwuwuwuwu, Lu Yuan, you are really stepping on the horse, you deserve to die! ! !
