After listening to Liu Chan's words, Pang Tong felt very guilty.
He also thought that His Highness built Longshan Palace because he wanted to enjoy luxury.
In no mood
But it was he, Pang Shiyuan, who judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Your Highness never forgets the great ambition of the King!
The purpose of building Longshan Xingtai was to realize the great ambition of reviving the Han Dynasty!
"Military advisor, if this is the case, can Jiangling's money be enough to build Longshan Tower? Is there enough manpower?"
If it was about extravagant enjoyment, let alone building a palace, even if it was building a temple, he would definitely not agree!
But it's different now.
"There's enough money! There's even enough people! The trade routes are wide open, that is, to collect business taxes, and I can't let go of the five baht in the treasury. As for manpower, the people have no farm work in winter, so they have initiated corvee labor and requisitioned them. Time! Even if we recruit 100,000 people, there will be no problem!"
One hundred thousand people?
Liu Chan shook his head slightly and said: "We don't need so many people. Don't we still have many surrendered soldiers? First, use descended soldiers to build according to this drawing at the foot of Longshan Mountain, on the mountainside, and on the top of the mountain. It is estimated that 10,000 people will be enough. "
Corvee can be levied.
But the corvee collection for the people of Jingzhou this year has actually been completed.
Another expedition will have to be next year.
Besides, it will be Chinese New Year in a few days.
It’s really inhumane to have people come to work during the New Year.
He, Liu Chan, still needs to pay attention to the influence.
Fortunately, Liu Chan had won many battles and not much else, so this prisoner was definitely enough.
They can't say anything about practicing to the point of death.
As for the resentment in your heart?
After becoming a corpse, what can he do if he resents him, Mr. Liu?
This is also the reason why large-scale construction projects were carried out in the early years of the dynasty.
Labor costs are too low.
If you recruit slaves to build cities and palaces, do you need to pay them?
By the end of the dynasty, it was very difficult even if you wanted to build a Taoist temple.
Why?
The labor cost has increased, and there are no cost-free slaves for you to use.
In addition, you assigned people to build it, and in the process, more than half of the money and food was given to Tan Mo.
Now Liu Chan doesn't have this trouble.
Because his prestige is high enough, no one dares to embezzle money or food from him.
In addition, in the early years of the dynasty, everyone was thinking about struggling and conquering the world to get rewards. Isn't it better to be greedy for this little wealth and feel at ease?
"Your Highness is truly considerate of the people."
Put people first.
Although His Highness did not start from humble beginnings, he cherishes the power of the people more than others.
perhaps
This is probably why the people of Jingzhou respect and love His Highness so much.
"besides."
Liu Chan looked at Pang Tong with a smile and said: "On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I want to have a banquet in Jiangling City to attack the city. I will give out the rewards together. Will the money and food in the treasury be enough?"
Asking for money again
Pang Tong suddenly became resentful.
His Highness is a good hand at making money, and he is also good at fighting, but when it comes to spending money, he is even more powerful!
Like a gold-eating beast.
Even though he had done a great job in logistics, he still felt a little guilty when he saw Liu Chan at this moment.
"I wonder how much your Highness will reward you?"
"Ordinary sergeants will be given one stone of grain and one piece of linen. Generals at the lower level, such as commanders and corps commanders, will be given one stone more of grain. For every level above centurion, they will be given one more piece of linen. For generals, in addition to what was given in the previous period, they will be given twenty kilograms of meat. For the general, they will be given a piece of Shu Brocade, a Southern Horse, and a weapon."
As Liu Chan spoke, Pang Tong directly picked up the abacus.
Bang bang bang~
He calculated the accounts directly on the abacus.
It doesn't matter if you don't think so, it will scare you!
If His Highness wanted to give a grand banquet and reward him, wouldn't he have to empty out the Jiangling treasury that was just full?
Pang Yi looked at Liu Chan suspiciously.
Could it be that His Highness already knew the situation in Jiangling's treasury and deliberately acted like this?
That must be the case.
But seeing Liu Chan's innocent look, Pang Tong hesitated.
"How about it? Do you have enough money, food, cloth and horses?"
Pang Tongyi looked bitter and could only say: "Enough is enough, but I'm afraid the treasury will be emptied."
Liu Chan stepped forward and patted Pang Tong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Military advisor, take a longer view. You can't make enough money, and you must not save what you should spend!"
Conquering the world relies on soldiers and generals!
If Liu Chan can have a certain degree of prestige among the people of Jiangling, it is because he knows how to be considerate of people's sentiments.
Then his supreme prestige in the army is not only due to his ability to win battles, but also because he loves his soldiers like his own son.
"Your Highness, you are in charge and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Don't you need money and food to resettle immigrants from the south? Don't you need money and food to open up wasteland? Don't you need money to dredge water conservancy and forge farm tools?"
Seeing Pang Tong chattering incessantly, as if he was chanting sutras like a monk from the Tang Dynasty, he yawned decisively.
"Military advisor, I'm tired after a long journey, so I'm going to rest first."
Liu Chan ran away decisively, leaving only Pang Tong with a resentful look on his face.
After Liu Chan left, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others looked at each other and said quickly: "Commander, we are also tired. Let's go and rest first."
"snort!"
Pang Tong didn't want to but snorted coldly.
"His Highness is tired. That is because he has many things to do. Which of you are tired? Your Highness wants to reward meritorious ministers. You have to come up with this specific list. The grain, cloth, weapons, and horses that will be rewarded must also be prepared in advance. In addition, the mission to Jiangdong and the envoy to Chengdu to express greetings must also be dispatched in time."
I can’t say anything about Your Highness, so I can’t say anything about you?
Pang Tong immediately pointed at Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others.
The mess that Liu Chan left to him and most of the errands were left to a subordinate official of the Prince's Mansion.
"Military advisor, we understand."
Fei Yi and the others smiled bitterly and had no choice but to spread their hands.
What else can you do?
Just do it and that's it.
After saying this, Pang Tong felt much better.
Wait a moment.
It's like I forgot something.
correct!
At a young age, His Highness took in several beauties, including Cao Pi's wife, the beauty Zhen Mi.
Thirty-year-old women are like wolves and tigers, and their status is so sensitive that His Highness cannot control it. How can his small body bear it?
I have to go and remonstrate!
In winter, the mountain scenery is shrouded in ice and snow, showing a magnificent picture like a fairyland.
The top of the mountain is covered with snow, like a world wrapped in silver. The wind blew, and the snowflakes were flying and dancing in the air, as if countless elves were playing happily. The peaks and rocks on the top of the mountain are all covered with white coats, quietly watching the earth.
The streams in the valley freeze into strips of ice in the cold winter. The transparent and hard ice surface reflected the light of the morning sun and shone like crystal.
Occasionally, a few birds rest on the ice, leaving a string of tiny paw prints, adding a touch of life to the cold mountains.
The mountains in the distance are green and majestic against the blue sky. The mountain peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, as mysterious and charming as a fairyland. The sun penetrates the clouds and casts a warm beam, illuminating the snowfields in the mountains, making them shine with silver brilliance.
Occasionally, a gust of cold wind howls by, bringing a biting chill.
The silence of the mountains is broken by the sound of wind, which seems to tell the majesty and power of nature.
However, even in the cold winter, the mountains still exude an innate vitality, making people feel its infinite charm.
Longshan, which is quiet at the moment, has long been disturbed by the construction of lowering soldiers.
Liu Chan took a group of female relatives all the way to the top of Longshan Mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there is a courtyard.
The courtyard is very elegant.
There is an exquisite pavilion built in one corner of the courtyard. The railings on the pavilion are carved with various traditional patterns and images.
There is also a small rockery in the courtyard. The stones are stacked to form a landscape of protruding peaks and criss-crossing canyons.
I have been working hard on the paperwork for a long time, and now I am here with a group of orioles, which makes me feel quite relaxed.
"This courtyard will be expanded in the future. If we go to Jingzhou, I'm afraid we will live here."
Longshan Xingtai is naturally Liu Chan's research and development base.
But who says that R&D bases can’t hide their beauty in a golden house?
He has collected a lot of beauties, but he can't take them all with him. He must have a place to put them.
Like Boss Cao, he deliberately built a bronze bird stand to house beauties.
But Liu Chan doesn't need it.
Just come with it.
"This place is quite spacious, and it's more than enough for a school grounds."
Guan Yinping has a beautiful and dignified face, and her skin is fair and delicate, as smooth as white jade.
Her face has soft and well-proportioned lines, delicate facial features, and slightly upturned red lips, adding a playful touch to her smile.
Of course, although her appearance is peerless, what this girl wants in her heart is still wielding swords and guns.
"This place is very elegant. It would be nice to plant some flowers."
Zhen Mi has long, glossy black hair that falls on her shoulders like a waterfall.
Her bun is delicate and elegant, decorated with gold hairpins or flower hairpins, showing her noble temperament. Her forehead is broad and delicate, and her eyebrows are long and slightly curved, slightly raised, exuding an aura of intelligence and agility.
She likes to be quiet by nature, so it would be nice if she could stay here forever.
Sun Luyu smiled softly and said: "No matter where I go, as long as I can stay with His Highness, I like it!"
As he said that, Sun Luyu looked at Sun Shangxiang beside him and asked, "Auntie, do you think so?"
Sun Shangxiang lowered his head and said angrily: "What do you ask me for?"
She has a graceful figure, a graceful figure, graceful curves and full of charm.
At this moment, Sun Luyu was confused by this question.
"Ahem."
Liu Chan coughed and said, "I came here today just to enjoy the plum blossoms, see the scenery, and hunt wild things in the mountains. Nothing else."
After fighting for more than half a year, he, Mr. Liu, also wanted to enjoy it.
When Guan Yinping heard this, he was immediately eager to try it.
"Okay, Sir, just light the fire, and I'll shoot the prey!"
Sun Shangxiang said quickly on the side: "As far as Tian Lie is concerned, I'm not bad either."
She immediately jumped on the horse and galloped towards Guan Yinping as if running away.
Liu Chan glanced at Sun Luyu angrily and said, "Xiaohu, you are the smartest, go pick up some firewood."
Sun Luyu stuck out his tongue.
Three women and one drama.
Now, there are more than three women on the top of Longshan Mountain!
It is different from Liu Chan living happily on Longshan with all the beauties in his backyard.
Under the city of Hefei, war was already raging.
Under the ice and snow, under the city of Hefei, there was a cold and pale scene.
Jiangdong's army formed a formation to encircle them, with a rainbow-like momentum, and lined up to meet the defenders of Hefei City.
The cold wind is biting, the snow is flying, and the ground is covered with a layer of pure white snow, as if it is covered with a layer of silver.
On the city wall, the Hefei City defenders guarded the city tightly, with solemn and resolute expressions. Wearing heavy iron armor, holding sharp blades, and with determined expressions on their faces, they were not afraid of the severe cold and guarded the peace of the city.
Sometimes they raised their bows and arrows and fired dense rain of arrows to block the Jiangdong Army's offensive; sometimes they used siege equipment such as boulders and rolling logs to fiercely fight back the enemy's onslaught.
As a general, Zhang Liao personally went to the top of the city to command the defense.
"Hold, hold, support will be here soon!"
The Jiangdong army charged bravely, brandishing swords and guns, and rushed towards the city wall.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
The Jiangdong soldiers were wearing thick sheepskin coats, their faces were red from the cold, but they were still burning with fighting enthusiasm.
They were not afraid of hardships and risked their lives, climbing the city wall again and again in an attempt to break through the enemy's defense line.
The battlefield was filled with the smell of blood and corpses were everywhere.
On top of the city.
The defenders of Hefei City and Jiangdong's army fought fiercely, with neither side winning or losing, and suffered heavy losses.
The sound of sharp weapons clashing could be heard all the time, and the cold wind was also mixed with the shouts of soldiers, making it particularly sad.
The sky gradually darkened, night fell, and the setting sun on the battlefield shone on the soldiers, reflecting their ferocious faces and resolute eyes.
The battle lasted for several hours, and both sides paid a heavy price, but Hefei City still held on, and Jiangdong's army was unable to attack the city.
The cold wind was biting, the blood stained the white snow, the war drums shook the sky, and the flames of war burned out.
Woohoo~
Finally, the sound of gold came from behind Jiangdong's army.
In the Chinese army's main tent outside Hefei City, Sun Quan, who was wearing battle armor, didn't look very good.
He prepared for many days and launched a sneak attack in winter, but he still failed to capture Hefei.
Zhang Wenyuan.
He really knows how to defend the city.
but.
Today is different from the past.
The land of Qingxu was in turmoil, Meng Defang died, and the state of Wei was in turmoil, but they didn't react so quickly.
I can't capture Hefei today, and I won't be able to capture it in ten days.
One month, two months, can't I conquer it?
Hefei is just an isolated city.
He, Sun Quan, would definitely chew on this hard bone.
"My lord, although Zang Ba sent envoys here, they may be part of the Wei State's treacherous plan, and the purpose is to lure us to attack."
Grand Governor Lu Meng said on the side, he frowned slightly and felt a little worried.
"That's right. Besides, our army is pressing down on the border. What if Liu Gongsi attacks us from behind? Jianye may be defeated in a single battle."
Lu Xun also expressed his uneasiness.
Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "Although we have brought a large army, Jianye City is not unguarded. Besides, Mr. Liu is a man of faith, and he is also my son-in-law. Madam said that he will not If we come to attack, we will not openly breach the contract.
As for Zang Ba's matter, he has already cooperated with Liu Gongsi. This sending of envoys must not be a ploy. We have been preparing for today's attack on the city for a long time. We must not retreat because of suspicion. "
After several battles, Jiangdong failed to reap any benefits.
He must gnaw down this Hefei city now.
Previously, because Zhang Liao had built a wall to clear the country, his army had nothing to rely on, so he had no choice but to retreat.
But over the past month, all kinds of supplies have been delivered.
What's the use of Zhang Wenyuan erecting walls to clear the fields?
Hefei?
I, Sun Quan, must defeat him!
I will take it!
