Chapter 245 Surrounded by mountains is the problem
If you have something to do, then time will start to appear to be insufficient. After a day is busy, it seems that when you open your eyes, the sun sets in the blink of an eye.
"Remember we went north after the Lantern Festival?" Liu Tao leaned against the soft collapse and enjoyed Ren Hongchang's massage. This girl learned a massage technique in the palace. The soothing effect was not much, and the teasing meaning was even stronger.
The slender jade hands are as soft as boneless, like a veil brushing across the body, which is more heart-warming.
So Liu Tao also took the opportunity to get on and take some oil. The little girl just blushed and became even more energetic.
Hearing Liu Tao’s inquiry, he slowed down a little. He thought for a while and replied, “It’s true that it is true. We walked from Luoyang to the clouds for more than ten days and rested for two more days. It was already early February to stabilize in the clouds.”
The beginning of February is the lunar calendar, which is almost the third month of the Gregorian calendar. In theory, spring plowing can already begin, but generally, places like Yunzhong should be farmed better in March and April... No wonder I think there is something wrong with these fields.
Farming tools are a problem, and ploughing too early is also a problem. Without deep cultivation, it means that the insect eggs cannot be completely killed. It is hard to say whether there will be a locust plague... By the way, locusts have not even appeared, so it is not necessary to start thinking about this.
After all, if I remember correctly, there seems to be no locust plague this year!
Since the reform began, people have been organized to clean up the dredging and teach the Wu people who were tested. In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.
This month, he gave the fields a "Goal Dragon Gift" every three days. Needless to say, the crops for more than 20 days have reached the level of two months. Depending on the situation, they can be harvested in mid-April, and they are completely cheating.
Facts have proved that this magic is a bug in farming, the premise is that it has enough magic value. The most helpless thing is that he is the only one in the world at present.
There are plains around the clouds, which means there is no mineral or forestry, and there is no place to quarry. The county magistrate said that Wujin is surrounded by mountains, and there were forest farms and quarries in the past, but now there are no government offices there...
Basically, a group of "naturalized" Hu people were entrenched there and self-sufficient. According to the convention in the Xianbei region, they elected a leader, called him "county magistrate", and then elected several people to complete all the officials.
The situation in Wujin, Chengle and Xianyang are actually like this. Those who can move to Han people have already moved to it. As for whether these Hu people are naturalized, it is unknown.
"It seems that two months have passed since Luoyang..." Liu Tao stood up, "You think, should I solve the problem of water conservancy first, or stabilize the public security of Yunzhong County first?"
"I am just a maid. How can I interfere in such a military and national affairs at will?" Ren Hongchang was shocked. This thing should not be touched randomly, especially those scholars who always use the "Hen Si Chen" to suppress it.
"It's nothing, just talk casually between masters and servants. Besides, as you are, in theory, you will be taken in two years. There must be individuals in this back home, right?" Liu Tao pinched her pretty face and said with a smile.
"Young Master is a slave..." Although Ren Hongchang showed fear, he felt a little sweet in his heart. He was rewarded by the Emperor of Han to Liu Tao, but he did not touch himself. Considering that both of his sisters were sent to others, she was really worried that she would be the same.
"Well, I won't make things difficult for you... I'll discuss this with them before making a decision." Liu Tao said casually, "Continue... Also, don't make small moves."
"Yes..." Ren Hongchang quickly changed his gesture to massage. Sure enough, the soothing effect was much better than it was. Liu Tao only felt that the fatigue of the day was greatly relieved.
At this moment, he was closing his eyes and resting, but he was still thinking about the affairs of these three counties.
What really made him confused was that the three counties would still pay full taxes every year and pay according to the Han standards. At the same time, the strong men in the three counties did not perform corvee service, which is also the most criticized part.
According to the Han laws or customs, the tax they originally had to pay should also be appropriately increased. At present, the three counties give him the feeling that they use taxes to teach "protection fees", which has a bit of autonomy.
Unfortunately, he has not given the right to autonomy in a certain place, and it is estimated that the entire Han Dynasty does not agree with this system. Now he is not a prince, so he must be more low-key in his work.
Another problem is that he has no one in his hands. He sent someone to Yingchuan to find a group of people, but there has been no reply yet. Including Yan Liang and Wen Chou, there has been no news about these two guys, and Liu Tao has almost given up.
There are very few scholars in this place where birds do not shit. It is still a matter of whether the scholars under Liu Tao can gather enough officials from the three counties.
Especially Jiling County, the old county magistrate, who finally promoted him... As a result, this guy was too happy, or his greatest desire in his heart was satisfied, so he passed away just two days after taking office.
It is inevitable that another subordinate should be arranged, not the county magistrate. According to the county, the county magistrate will be set up, and the county magistrate will not be set up separately. After all, it is the rear, there are no hidden dangers, and there is no need for so many people to be held.
The next day, according to routine, I performed the "Gate Dragon Gift", and today the effect just disappeared.
After the casting of the spell, he summoned all his subordinates and told him about yesterday's problems.
"Hi, why don't you use that trouble? I'll just lead the troops there and just try to settle it!" Zhang Fei felt that his brother was a little bit of a big deal. What's there to be afraid of these naturalized Hu people?
"The spring plowing has been completed, and the people have begun to invest in the dredging process one after another. Our soldiers have been empty and can be fully committed to the battlefield." Lu Yan replied, "It's just that how to fight and how much they fight, we still need to discuss it."
"How else can I fight? Just fight!" Zhang Fei retorted, "I didn't know before coming, and I thought I had to face the Xianbei's southward at any time on the front line. As a result, when I came here, I found that the huge Yunzhong County was surrounded by mountains, and it was difficult for the Xianbei people to go south."
I suddenly understood why the soldiers were all placed in Yanmen and Wuyuan, because if they went south, they could not avoid these two places.
"You all think that the Xianbei can only take a detour to Wuyuan or Yanmen?" Liu Tao looked at everyone in confusion.
Everyone also looked at Liu Tao in confusion and said to himself: Isn't this the case?!
"I can only say that you don't know enough about the Xianbei..." Liu Tao complained, "Although the Xianbei is also nomadic, it is essentially completely different from the Xiongnu. They originally lived in the mountains and forests, and horses were more used for transportation and dealing with grassland wars."
I don’t know if it is, but I only know that the Xianbei originated from the Great Xing'an Mountains, and at least several generations, or even more than a dozen generations, live in the mountains and forests. They may be excellent hunters and warriors, but they are definitely not the kind of people like the Huns who grew up on horseback.
Perhaps, it is closer to the Later Jin Dynasty. It is said that it is good at riding and shooting, but in fact, riding and shooting are separated. However, it later seized the territory of the Huns and reproduced for several generations. Today's riding skills should have improved a lot, but the abilities of our ancestors should not be forgotten.
"The Xianbei went south, and the mountains and forests could not stop them at all." Liu Tao looked at everyone, "but it would cover our eyes..."
