Zhuge Liang was sitting alone in the dark tent, playing the piano with both hands. He had already sent a letter to Pang Tong in the east of the Yangtze River.
It's hard to find a confidant. Although the two have very different acting styles, Zhuge Liang has always regarded Pang Tong as a confidant.
"If Shi Yuan can also come to assist the emperor's uncle, one person will be stationed in Xinye to resist Cao Cao, and the other person will be stationed in Jiangxia to guard against Soochow, and nothing will go wrong."
Zhuge Liang took a sip of sugar. It tasted sweet and dense. It was really top quality.
"The white sugar created by the young master is really an excellent tonic. After Yueying eats it, maybe her health will become better."
Zhuge Liang doesn't have any heirs yet, and he works hard every day, but unfortunately there are no results yet.
"Military advisor! The young master is back to see you!"
Guan Ping came to report happily and said with a smile: "The young master is rosy. He has returned to Xinye to visit relatives. He has not yet visited Aunt Mi Zhen. Instead, he came to see the military advisor first!"
Guan Ping sighed in his heart: "Young master really respects his teachers!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently, feeling naturally happy in his heart.
Their master-disciple cooperation can be said to complement each other.
Liu Mang agreed to Liu Biao and asked Liu Bei to guard Jiangxia, successfully paralyzing Liu Biao's subordinates.
Only then did Zhuge Liang strategize, allowing Liu Bei to successfully take over Jiangxia and gain another base area!
"Take me quickly to meet the young master!"
"Military advisor, please come this way!"
With Guan Ping leading the way, Zhuge Liang made up his mind to trick Pang Tong over. Wouldn't it be nice for the two of them to work for Liu Mang together in the future?
Liu Mang was so popular at this time that he wanted to drive Zhuge Liang away and let Mr. Wolong return to Wollongong to farm!
If you don't take a good nap, you will come out and cause trouble!
Good thing now, I, Liu Mang, am not destined to reach my destination yet, but Liu Bei has an extra base, as well as the general Gan Ning!
"Liang, I have met the young master!"
"Sir, come here quickly!"
Liu Mang saw this and pulled Zhuge Liang over. In the eyes of outsiders, this was clearly an intimate act between student and teacher.
"Sir, can Liang's plan be timely?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Young master sent Xingba to report the news. Liang will know that you are reminding me to pay attention to the situation in Jiangxia!"
"We have business with the four major families in Jiangdong, and they will not support Sun Quan's continued attacks on his business partners."
"As for Huang Zu, it's okay to be killed! Give Sun Quan a step so that he can retreat smoothly."
Liu Mang was stunned. He asked Gan Ning to report the news, but it was clear that only Gan Ning was free!
I really didn’t expect that Zhuge Liang could make so many extensions!
This is great, you are just shooting yourself in the foot!
"Ahem! Sir, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
"Young master, it doesn't matter. You and I are both master and disciple, as well as king and minister."
"You'd better go back to Wollongong to farm!"
"Farming?"
Zhuge Liang now only thinks that there is something in Liu Mang's words, and he is an expert who likes to give hints.
"I can't believe that at such a young age, the young master already knows how to control his subordinates and let his subordinates guess their intentions!"
"Young Master asked me to farm because he obviously felt that our army did not have enough food and grass!"
"Next, we must work hard to save food and grass, which means that there will be a fierce battle in Xinye in the future!"
“Young Master’s thoughts are exactly the same as mine!”
In Zhuge Liang's heart, he couldn't help but admire Liu Mang even more.
If Liu Mang directly asked him to save food and grass, he would inevitably end up with the excuse of being disrespectful.
A subtle hint like the one just now not only reminded Zhuge Liang to save food and grass, but also saved the face of his master and disciple. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Zhuge Liang was lamenting Liu Mang's sophistication and sophistication, but he didn't know that Liu Mang's main focus was to be outspoken and have no other meaning at all!
"Young master, it's not that you refuse to obey, but that spring plowing is about to begin and the people's power is limited..."
"Sir, do you think you are slow in farming?"
"Indeed! Especially on cultivated land, it is difficult to turn over and break up the soil!"
"If I can help Mr. solve this matter, can Mr. go back to Wollongong?"
What a good disciple!
In order for Master to take a nap like in Wollongong, he still has to think about farming!
Zhuge Liang was moved and said: "Master, this is what Liang should do. Master, don't worry!"
Liu Mang quickly waved his hand, "Yes! It's what I should do to help my husband return to Wollongong as soon as possible!"
Returning to Wollongong as soon as possible would mean reviving the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.
Zhuge Liang nodded happily and said, "I wonder what kind of clever plan you have?"
"Sir, you might as well give me some skilled craftsmen!"
Zhuge Liang agreed to all Liu Mang's requests in one go.
I don't know what kind of surprises the young master can bring to him who can purify turbid wine and make white sugar.
"Sir, what did you say to the military advisor?"
"I told him to go back to Wollongong to farm early and take a nap!"
Liu Mang replied to Zhao Yun casually, and then ordered: "Uncle Zhao, these are the drawings I designed. Please supervise the craftsmen and complete the forging as soon as possible!"
Zhao Yun bowed his hands and saluted. After seeing the drawing, he realized that it was clearly a plow.
Compared with traditional plows in other parts of the world, plows in the Central Plains are more flexible in rotation. Visitors can adjust the depth and plow the land, turn over the soil and break the soil in one go.
Look at this plow again. It is completely different from the plows used by the Han Dynasty today. It even has an extra plow!
With this plow, the plow has become a weapon for reclaiming wasteland!
This type of compound farm tool, which consists of main parts such as plow shaft, plow arrow, plow bottom and plow blade, is simply a powerful tool for farming!
Zhao Yun has been engaged in farming since he was a child and understands the importance of farm tools. Moreover, it is the time of spring plowing now. With the help of such sharp tools, Xinye can harvest a lot more food!
What's more, now that Jiangxia is also in the hands of the Lord, the army can increase from 5,000 to 8,000!
Zhao Yun still underestimated the Quyuanli. In order to let Zhuge Liang go home to farm, Liu Mang directly took out artifacts such as the Quyuanli.
Don’t you think plowing the land is too tiring and slow?
I'll give you the tools, okay?
This kind of curved shaft plow with a plow was only improved in the Song Dynasty.
Liu Mang waved his hand and gave it to Zhuge Liang directly and generously.
As long as he can send his husband back to Wollongong as soon as possible, what does it matter if Liu Mang leaks a little about the farm tools of later generations?
"Master, Liang has seen the plow designed by Master. It is a great tool for farming!"
Zhuge Liang praised highly: "We can feed many soldiers in Xinye and Jiangxia alone!"
Liu Mang frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
"Sir, I only told you to go back to Wollongong to farm, but I didn't tell you to promote it!"
"Master, Liang knows that you care about face and don't want to offer these farming tools to the lord!"
Zhuge Liang said earnestly: "Liang has already calculated in his heart! The efficiency of our army's plowing is 4-5 times that of ordinary plowing!"
"Instead of cultivating the land of Xinye and Jiangxia, it is better to look at the entire Jingzhou!"
"Sir, actually I don't really mean that much..."
"Young Master, there is no need to say more, Liang has already made plans!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Liang, we have ordered Jian Yong and Sun Qian to rent the land of Jingzhou's wealthy families!"
