Chapter 189, the dark man(2/2)

, his tribe can’t survive this winter either!

After being reminded by Liu Bei, he realized that he had to hoard food, otherwise many of his tribesmen would starve to death!

So Zhang Yan said: "Okay, let's cease the war at the current border, and we will continue the fight next year!"

After saying that, Zhang Yan took Wang Dang and the others and left!

Zhang Fei looked at the arrogant Zhang Yan and said unconvinced: "Brother, why are you so cowardly? Even if the war does not stop, the 30,000 cavalry in our hands are enough to suppress Zhang Yan and the others without leaving Wei County!"

Liu Bei said helplessly: "How can Jizhou's food production recover without a truce? The Central Plains' food supply has been exhausted this year. If there is another food shortage in Jizhou, the Han Dynasty will be helpless. Do we have to kill tens of millions of people to reduce food consumption?

!”

Guan Yu also said: "Third brother, the eldest brother is also preparing for the cultivation. In the next few years, we will have a very difficult life. Only with food in hand can we survive!"

Speaking of grain, Jian Yong thought for a moment and said, "Thunder Gong of Mayi has a way to increase production. We can also use it in Jizhou!"

Liu Bei asked: "What method?"

Jian Yong said: "Every year, Lei Gong invites small businessmen from Youzhou to dig out a kind of fertilizer called struvite on the island. It is said that the price is not low. Many small businessmen have little capital, so a few people join forces to find a small boat to go there.

You can make tens of thousands of dollars at a time by digging up struvite on your island!"

These fertilizers will be spread into the fields after being purchased. Lei Gong is obviously a newly reclaimed wasteland, but the grain yield is particularly high, generally reaching about 3 shi, and even 4-5 shi in high cases, and it can be made without leaving it fallow.

Three species in two years! If we popularize the method of growing thunderbolts in Jizhou, the grain output in Jizhou can at least be doubled!"

After speaking, Jian Yong also took out a very simple book with "Agricultural Policy Complete Book" written on it.

Jian Yong handed the book to Liu Bei and said: "This is the book used by Mayi Litian to guide farmers in farming. I think it should be used in Jizhou too!"

Liu Bei excitedly opened the book and found that it was full of pictures and texts, explaining in detail how to apply fertilizer. It turned out that there were more than just struvite fertilizer, cow dung fertilizer, fermented fertilizer and other kinds of fertilizers. Each fertilizer has different effects, as well as the proportion of fertilization.

, as well as the effect of fertilization on farmland, and how to carry out three fertilizations for two years. It can be said that the writing is very straightforward and has no literary talent, but anyone who has read the book can rely on this world to become an agricultural talent!

After reading it, Liu Bei sighed: "If all the prefects and county magistrates of the Han Dynasty had a copy of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs", why would the Han Dynasty have continuous refugees and wars? No wonder Lei Gong obviously occupied a barren Mayi, but he could spend tens of millions of stones.

To provide food to the victims, the Thunder Lord of Mayi is simply an unparalleled national warrior. If he had not been forced to rebel by Zhao Zhong and others, the situation of the Han Dynasty would definitely be much better than it is now!"

If Xu Wei were to come here, he would definitely refute Liu Bei. Accustomed to the modern society where everyone is equal, Xu Wei is a naturally rebellious person. Even if he went to Jingzhou, given the dark officialdom of the Han Dynasty, he would most likely be raped by Jingzhou officials.

Force rebellion.

Zhang Fei shattered Liu Bei's fantasy and said: "Our officials in the Han Dynasty don't care about whether the fields have a good harvest, and they don't go to the fields to guide the people in farming. They only give orders in the official offices, or gather friends.

Drinking, having fun, and going to the fields are all things that people with poor legs do!

Even if Lei Gong joins the officialdom of my great Han Dynasty, he will only become a small official. Maybe no one will care about his books, and there will be millions of Tengjia Army followers studying there!"

Zhang Fei is very familiar with the Han Dynasty, especially since his family comes from a powerful background. Several relatives have become minor officials in the Han Dynasty officialdom. They are basically doing the things in Zhuo County, but if they want to go further, they will basically do it.

No way, so in the Han Dynasty, even powerful people were oppressed by noble families.

Liu Bei was speechless! Nowadays, the Han Dynasty basically selects officials based on reputation and does not care about practicality at all. Officials also mainly focus on chatting. Officials who can do practical things are despised as common officials and suppressed at the lowest level of the Han officialdom!

If Lei Gong really joins the imperial court, he might not be able to get ahead given his family background.

To use an old saying, the political environment of the Han Dynasty is extremely dark, with no light in sight. Except for a few people, the entire Han people are oppressed by this corrupt politics!

Everyone knows that heroes emerged in large numbers during the Three Kingdoms period, but why did these heroes not come forward when the Han Dynasty was still there? It stands to reason that as long as these heroes can assist the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty can delay its demise for decades!

But this is simply impossible. As long as the Han Dynasty is still in power, there will naturally be corrupt people occupying official positions. The oppressed heroes will not be able to stand out, and even force these heroes to oppose the Han Dynasty!

Just like without Yuan Shao in troubled times, Cao Cao, who Yuan Shu could suppress, would not be able to get ahead. Without troubled times, Liu Bei would have to think of ways to become a county magistrate all his life. Without troubled times, Sun Jian would at most become the captain of a border county.

Heroes don't come out of troubled times, heroes are already there!

It's just that troubled times have broken the shackles on these heroes, allowing them to ascend to heaven.

The same is true for the people at the bottom. Rebellion will only make them lose their shackles, but there is a chance of gaining the whole world!

Zhao Yun saw the atmosphere sinking and said: "Mr. Xuande, there are many islands overseas in Jizhou, and there will be a lot of struvite. Now there are still 1-2 months before the grain is harvested. Should we arrange manpower to dig out the struvite?"

Try it in the fields, it may not have much effect this year, but it will help Jizhou have a bumper harvest next year, which can solve our food shortage problem!"

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Zilong's words make sense! If Jizhou's grain production can be doubled, the entire Han Dynasty can reduce millions of refugees! If struvite really has this effect, it will be important to the Han Dynasty!"

August of the fifth year of Zhongping (188)!

Liu Bei and Zhang Yan signed an armistice agreement, but it was not good news for Xu Wei. The number of immigrants moving to Bingzhou surged! Xu Wei in Taiyuan County was in a hurry.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo actually had no good intentions. He kept moving the victims from Shangdang County to Taiyuan County and ignored them. Dong Zhuo experienced a three-sided attack and did not want to encounter this kind of situation again. As long as he appeared among the victims of Shangdang County, he would

Immediately move these victims to Xu Wei's territory. It can be said that the victims of the entire Han Dynasty are now entering Bingzhou through these two immigration channels, allowing Xu Wei's territory to take over 100,000 victims every day!

Emperor Ling's idea on the spot was fully realized. There were one million less victims. The momentum of the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains began to slow down. In some areas, the Han army began to continuously counterattack the Yellow Turban Army's offensive. It can be said that Xu Wei's approach was a big blow to the Han Dynasty.
