Chapter 55 Everyone is busy
.Autumn harvest. This is the most important period in China.
There has not been a crop that can be sown and harvested twice a year this year. Therefore, every autumn harvest is related to life next year. If the harvest is less, then basically you have to eat wild vegetables and rice for most of the year. Wild vegetables have to account for 80% of the rice bowl. Not only that, you have to pray that the wild vegetables will grow enough and enough for your family to eat for a year.
During the autumn harvest season, the princes will naturally give up their attacks and wait carefully for the end of the autumn harvest until the grain is put into storage and they will send troops.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some princes were just plundering other people's food and sent troops during the autumn harvest season. Cao cāo's first attack on Xuzhou was in autumn. If it weren't for Xuzhou, it would have been considered a large granary. Otherwise, the people of Xuzhou would have had no food the next year.
Liu Ming was not worried about food. He had already built more than 300 fields in the territory. This was the limit given by the system. At this limit, he could produce twice the average grain output every month.
Relying on this grain, even if the territory has a bad harvest, Liu Ming will not worry about food shortage.
More importantly, he occupied Mengzhou and Liaozhou. The Southern Xiongnu and Eastern Xianbei who surrendered to him have now become his herds slaves and farmers. They farm for him and grazed for him.
A large number of cattle and sheep will be sold to the south through merchants. Then they buy rice with people from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The first time I ate rice in this era, the taste and taste are not as good as those of later generations. But compared to the torture of eating rice and pasta for several years, it is already a supreme enjoyment.
Before Liu Ming was reborn, he was a native southerner. The climate in the north was actually nothing. The body was used to it. If the food was not rice, it felt like the soul would keep wailing. It was very uncomfortable.
No one can eat Xiaomi in later generations. It is okay for southerners to eat pasta by chance. Eating it every day will make you feel very uncomfortable. It is just that Liu Ming's body is from northerners. Therefore, he doesn't feel this way. At most, he feels uncomfortable in the subconscious.
There is no food problem in his territory. Liu Ming is still worried that some neighbors will have no food.
For example, the Qiang people in the northwest, the Xianbei people in the north, etc. If they had no food, they would go south and rob. They were obviously defeated by Liu Ming again and again. They had been defeated by Que Yi and Shen Pei and kept fleeing north. But as long as they had this opportunity, they would still go south. It seemed that they would not give up without the tribe.
If you engage in business with yourself or accept your advice to farm and fish, will you die? If you are slowly influenced by yourself and then controlled by yourself, that is the perfect ending.
There are still too many smart people in this world.
Unfortunately, Huaitou, the son of Tan Shihuai, was entangled with the 30,000 Xianbei army. He scattered attacks on Mengzhou and Liaozhou. It was an exaggeration to say that it was an attack. According to that scale, he was at most to attack Caogu. These guys are very cunning now. Thirty thousand people scattered the attack. There was no one left on the grassland. If you want to chase it, you can't chase it.
"The territory is still busy with construction. What trouble are these guys causing us when we are busy?" Liu Ming looked at the military newspaper and threw it to Gao Shun in dissatisfaction.
"On the vast grassland, they deliberately avoided our words. We really couldn't catch up with them. They obviously valued this point, so they used this technique to hit the grass valley.
I heard that there were constant snowstorms in the far north. I was afraid that Huaitou and his other cattle and sheep would also freeze to death. If they didn’t shoot grass valleys, they were afraid that they would have no food to eat.” Gao Shun explained to Liu Ming based on previous information.
"Isn't it okay to just rob the Western Regions or the Qiang people? If you don't help, just run to the Middle East to harm the disaster... These gangs of gangsters who can't beat you. Don't you know that we can't afford to provoke you?
Immediately tell the Eastern Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu. Send me more people to guard against each important road. Stop the enemy or kill the enemy at any time. We have the weapons we provide. If this is the case, we cannot kill the invaders. Then there will be no soldiers in the future." Liu Ming directly gave an ultimatum.
"Haha. I think they will resist desperately. They paid Li Hua and Talier, two noble beauties of the Huns and Xianbei, to exchange for such a small soldier organization. If they were taken away like this, they would be really unable to cry." Gao Shun said with a smile.
"In more than ten years, there is no need for them to have soldiers anymore. At that time, there will be no sayings from the Southern Xiongnu or the Eastern Xianbei in this world..." Liu Ming smiled sinisterly.
"Poor barbarian..." Gao Shun murmured a second of silence for the two.
This autumn harvest, Liu Ming is very busy. In fact, the whole world is busy.
Li Kuai Guo Si was forced out of Chang'an by Wang Yun. As a result, after the pre-Qin capital Xianyang was ready for war, he launched a fierce attack on Chang'an during the autumn harvest.
At that time, Wang Yun and Lu Bu only controlled the vicinity of Chang'an. Therefore, they were surrounded for a short time.
Wang Yun designed to kill Dong Zhuo and drove away Li Kui and other Dong Zhuo's old subordinates. However, some of the recruited Xiliang troops became dissatisfied. As a result, the inside and outside cooperation was less than half a month before the Chang'an gate was broken through.
Seeing this, Wang Yun shouted: "Is the destiny not in the great man?"
Then, he jumped down on the city wall of Chang'an and turned into a pool of meat sauce on the floor of Chang'an City.
Lu Bu led his army to break through and led Zhang Liao and Chenglian and other confidant generals to break out and escape from Yanzhou. After a month, he came to the vicinity of Puyang City.
Here he met his best friend Chen Gong, who was his life's best friend, here. The relationship between them quickly heated up and finally reached an uncontrollable point. There is only you and me in the world.
In order to give back to the enthusiasm of Lu Bu, a good friend, Chen Gong blatantly engaged in secret spies with Zhang Miao and other families, scolding Cao Cāo for being unkind and unrighteous. He actually knew that earlier, Cao Cāo cut off two children from aristocratic families who wanted to point fingers at him. These families had long been unhappy about him.
So he successfully made these people find a catharsis on the verge of being on the verge of an outbreak.
Everyone's dissatisfaction with Cao cāo changed from nothingness to something that actually existed. The result was very simple. Puyang changed its ownership and Lu Bu continued to attack other counties in Yanzhou. Thanks to Xun You and Xun Chen, who resisted the death and then defended the territory south of Dongjun.
This year, Lu Bu was very busy, busy grabbing territory and becoming a real prince.
What about Cao cāo? Cao cāo is also very busy.
Half a month ago, Cao cāo became the governor of Yanzhou. He wanted to take his father over to live there. However, Cao Song knew that Cao cāo had no money, so he brought all the money from his ancestral home with him. He wanted to send it to Cao cāo as military funds.
This old man did not set off immediately. Instead, he went to visit Tao Qian in Xuzhou. With his old colleague, he received the highest level of preferential treatment. Then, Tao Qian sent Zhang Kai, the former remnant of the Yellow Turban, to escort Cao Song back north.
On the way, Cao Song accidentally revealed his wealth. Zhang Kai, the ex-robber, was jealous. So the tragedy happened, two years earlier than history. But it still happened.
Cao Song was killed. Zhang Kai was missing. To be honest, he had so much money. He just found a place to be a rich man. He worked harder and was enough to produce a nation.
Cao cāo learned that his father was killed. In addition, Tao Qian and him had a dispute over ownership in Qingzhou. He simply sent troops directly to Xuzhou and used Liu Ye, who had just surrendered to him, to break into Xuzhou.
In order to reduce resistance, he chose to enter during the autumn harvest season. At the same time, he also slaughtered three cities. These three front-line cities were almost harmed by disasters as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In recent years, the total population has been less than 200,000. After deducting the news that they had already obtained the news, Cao's army actually killed less than 100,000.
No matter what, Cao cāo killed 100,000 people. However, the benefits were obvious. He slaughtered a small city. As a result, he went to a large county and the county magistrate shouted, "If you don't surrender, you will massacre the city." After saying such words, the guards of these cities actually opened the city gate and surrendered. Cao cāo also kept the promise very much. He did not massacre the city. The people in the city breathed a sigh of relief.
But I didn't know that Cao cāo took over the three counties of Xuzhou without moving a soldier. The remaining counties and counties were also trembling and had poor fighting spirit when he heard the news of Cao cāo's massacre.
This year, the autumn harvest was very busy. Cao cāo was so busy that he didn't even know that his chrysanthemums were blown up.
This year, the autumn harvest was also very busy. He received a letter of help from Xuzhou and rushed to Pengcheng without saying a word.
This year, the autumn harvest was also very busy. His territory was getting bigger and bigger. He was about to give Liu Yao a fatal blow.
This year's autumn harvest, everyone is very, very busy...
