Chapter 20 “Core Scientific and Technological Achievements”
After the lunar calendar meeting on June 15th, there was nothing that could stop Shao Shude from leaving the palace.
Chongrong Wei was several months pregnant, and she was extremely nervous because she had had a miscarriage more than ten years ago. But she was only thirteen or fourteen at that time, and now she is thirty, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Chu and Queen He were also both pregnant.
Shao Shude actually didn't want to, but after seeing the women in the harem, after thinking about it, he still enjoyed the pleasure that exploded under the tight tolerance of these two people. However, they were both past their prime, and it was probably the last time they gave birth to a child for him.
Raising children. Later on, when you get older, the risk factor increases greatly. If you still want to see them alive, it is best to stop and look for new reproductive tools.
Having made several women pregnant, Shao Sheng also became wise. On June 20th, he led some officials and palace guards, escorted by Yin Anzhi, Fei Xiong Army, and Feng Guo Army, to the north to Ling Ling.
summer.
He first went straight to Fuping and spent two days in memory of him in the courtyard where he once lived.
Here, the Feng sisters sang songs and danced swords for him, like a cheerleading team before going off to war, leaving him many beautiful memories.
It's a pity that this person has passed away, leaving only an empty house.
Shao Shude walked into the bedroom and gently stroked an old eucalyptus table. At that time, he was hugging Xiao Feng and laughing on the couch. The big Feng who had accepted the favor was covered with gauze, with his back to him, and he knelt down in front of the eucalyptus to review.
Official letter.
Shao Shude even lay on the bed, and suddenly saw Da Feng turning around and scolding him and his sister for making too much noise.
"Alas." He put down his outstretched arm slumpedly, and after a moment of silence, he stood up and left.
Then he sat down at the stone table where he and Zhuge Shuang had played chess and discussed the art of war.
Sometimes, recalling past events can lead to some new insights.
Zhuge Shuang was originally a county official, but he later responded to Pang Xun's rebellion. After the situation was over, he surrendered to the court with more than 400 people and was appointed as the defense envoy of Ruzhou.
His struggles in this life were entirely the result of the combined effect of personal selfishness and the background of the times. There were not many plots and tricks, there was no heroic spirit, and some were just involuntary and drifting with the flow.
"It took me thirty years to slightly change this era. Now I have no control over myself and no excuses. If I continue to be like Zhuge Shuang, it is purely personal selfishness." Shao Shude patted the stone table hard and said.
The civil and military officials accompanying the driver all responded.
Zhu Jin raised his eyebrows and lowered his head.
In this era, it is no longer his place to use his skills. Yang Xingmi can control him to death, let alone the lord of Daxia who has hundreds of thousands of troops.
Shao Shude stood up and walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
The weak saplings at that time have grown into towering trees, with pavilions like canopies, providing shade.
He looked at the big tree outside the courtyard again.
When he led his troops on an expedition, Zhuge Shuang specifically stopped him and said he had "somewhat of a general's calm demeanor."
No one is born with the ability to fight, everyone has a learning process.
People with high talents learn quickly and learn well, but this process is indispensable.
Shao Shude spent several years starting from clumsily counting the number of troops to commanding the formation of the army.
And because he has only a short time to study and lacks good kung fu, he likes to form a formation and then fight with others in the field to decide the outcome and decide life or death.
Because it's not complicated, life is life, death is death, it's spot on.
"Your Majesty, when we arrived yesterday, the people of Fuping came to Daozou and shouted long live." Wang Pu, Minister of War, said: "We defeated the traitors and secured the eight counties of Fuping, which gave the people the right to choose."
Shao Shude smiled, nodded, and asked, "What was Wang Qing doing at that time?"
"At that time, I had just passed the Jinshi examination and had not yet obtained the official position. I lost contact with the Holy Master, so I went to Fengxiang Mansion and attached myself to Zheng Gong." Wang Pu said.
"Zheng Gong" is the Prime Minister Zheng Tian. Without him, the last breath of the Tang Dynasty would have been swallowed at that time.
It was due to his active operation that the Tang Dynasty stabilized the towns in the northwest of Beijing, mobilized King Qin's troops, and defeated Huang Chao's Western Expedition troops at Longweipo, beheading more than 20,000 people, and turning the situation around step by step.
At the end of the country, it was lucky to have people like Zheng Tian. More often, it was Qin Hui, and the water was too cold.

"The Zheng family in Xingyang has so many talented people." Shao Shude said: "What are the descendants of Zheng Gong doing now?"
I vaguely remember that when Qiu Weidao was still there, he had a good relationship with Ximen Zhongsui, and heard that he was going to marry him to the granddaughter of Zheng Gong. Later, the matter fell through, and I don’t know why.
However, as far as his true feelings are concerned, Shao Shude will still choose the powerful Guanbei power like Zhejia without hesitation. Linzhou, which controls tens of thousands of people, has vassal tribes on the Hetao grassland, and he can easily pull out thousands of people.
A highly cohesive disciple army, this kind of in-laws is most valuable in the initial stage.
"In the third year of Zhonghe (883), Duke Zheng resigned as prime minister, and his son Ningji became the governor of Bi and knew the affairs of the state. He welcomed Duke Zheng to support him. Later he moved to the post of governor of Longzhou and governor of Pengzhou, and Duke Zheng went with him. In the third year of Guangqi (887)
), Zheng Gong died in Pengzhou." Wang Pu said: "After Li Maozhen entered Shu, he did not like the descendants of the Zheng family. Zheng Ningji dismissed his official position and was repeatedly suppressed.
More than 200 members of the family moved to central Guizhou to educate the people, farm, study and pass down the family line. Zheng Ningji has passed away and his descendants have not served in official positions." Wang Pu replied.
"Wang Qing has received favor from Duke Zheng?" Shao Shude asked with a smile.
Wang Pu did not hide anything, and said frankly: "Zheng Gong likes to reward the underachievers and give guidance on articles. I have benefited a lot."
"Your Majesty has entered the political affairs hall, and there are only a few people in the country. Is it not difficult to help Zheng Gong's descendants?" Shao Shude asked again.
"How can a public weapon of the state be given to one another privately?" Wang Pu replied.
Shao Shude smiled and said, "How many sons does Zheng Ningji have?"
"There are five sons. The eldest son manages the family business and recruits wild beasts for farming. The second son and the third son practice martial arts since childhood and train villagers. The fourth son goes out to do business. The fifth son is successful in learning and is regarded as a guest by many beast cave owners.
Teach his children poetry, writings, and how to conduct themselves in the world." Wang Pu replied.
"What a powerful place." Shao Shude praised.
Assimilation is inseparable from the contributions of large families such as the Zheng family.
The barbarians were still in a state of slash-and-burn cultivation. They improved local agricultural technology and gained great prestige. At the same time, their noble status made it easier for the barbarians to learn the etiquette and culture of the Central Plains.
In the pre-Tang Dynasty, officials liked to be exiled to Fangzhou, and even Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty was exiled there. Over the past few hundred years, Fangzhou was transformed from a place full of barbarians. In the absence of official immigrants, only the unlucky ones among the rich and nobles were able to survive.
Gradually, literature gradually flourished and etiquette gradually matured.
The local textile technology is said to be of a very high level and unique, because when Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Wei went there, they brought many musicians, dancers, chefs, grooms, craftsmen and the like to serve them - ordinary people were exiled, as were nobles.
, obviously not the same thing.
"The fifth son of Zheng Ningji has been appointed as the magistrate of Yelang County in Qinzhou. If he dares to go, he will take office. If there are relatives and friends who are willing to go, they can draw a certain amount of money and food from Qianzhou." Shao Shude looked at Wang Pu and said: "I
When you receive kindness from others, you remember and think about it. When you receive kindness from others, you want to repay it. I feel the same way."
After saying that, he looked at the seats under the old tree where Zhuge Shuang and Jiang Dewen often sat, and sighed.
Wang Pu bowed and made a big salute.

After walking all the way through the Yifang prefectures, it was already early July when we arrived in Suizhou.
Suizhou is a small town, and it is also the place where Shao Shude started.
At that time, he was stationed here with his sergeants who had experienced cruel wars. As an outside army in Xia Sui Town, after many operations, he obtained the first pot of gold.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Near Meng Tian's tomb outside the city, Suizhou officials, big and small, and Hengshan Dangxiang chieftains all prostrated themselves on the ground.
Shao Shude made them stand up and comforted them with gentle words.
"Suizhou City was so small that there was no place to stand, but now it is ten miles around the city, and the market is much more prosperous. I saw it and felt very relieved," Shao Shude said.
Suizhou has actually changed a lot in the past thirty years.
At that time, he moved to Guandong and sent many prisoners of Chao army back. Song Dynasty was happy to build water conservancy and reclaim wasteland.
Thirty years have passed, and the city has expanded several times, and various shops are lined up in rows. The livestock market outside the city is still prosperous and has been enduring for a long time, which has brought real improvements to the living standards of the local people.
Time has changed many things, but some things can never be changed.
The backyard of the state government office has been preserved to this day, and no one has lived in it. In fact, a new government office was built in Suizhou, and the old government office was no longer needed. Because everyone knows that the backyard of the state government office was where Jinshang and Concubine Zhao lived for a long time.
.
Shao Shude lived there last night. When he woke up, he subconsciously touched his side, but nothing came up. He felt sad for a long time.
If Zhao Yu hadn't been in poor health, I would have really wanted to take her north this time.
"I heard that you all live in the city now?" Shao Shude looked at the group of party chiefs and asked.
"Your Majesty, most of us in this area live in Longquan, Suide and other counties, and some also live in Yanzhou City." Someone replied: "It is too hard in the mountains, life is not convenient, and hiring a doctor is very troublesome for us.
I’m already old, so I’d better live in the city.”
Shao Shude took a closer look at this man and knew what he was doing.
At that time, in order to bribe the big and small heads of various tribes, they were given casual positions in the government and received a salary. They were also given some subsidies during the holidays, and they also had a share of the income from the livestock market.
It turns out that these people are all old, and some have even passed down to the second generation.
"The things I promised you back then still count for now. Let's live a stable life in the city from now on. In this life, isn't it just wealth that people pursue?" Shao Shude said with a smile: "I came here today and saw you, and I felt very happy.
Be happy, everyone has a reward."
"Long live my emperor." Everyone smiled happily.
Shao Shude looked at these party leaders with white beards and hair and laughed.
The once unruly and daring tribal leaders are now senile and rely on crutches to walk.
They became officials, took the money from the court, bought land and houses in the city, and gradually lost contact with the mountains. However, there cannot be a vacuum of power for a long time, and the governments of various states will naturally control the party members and the people, and establish households.
People, education and assimilation.
Shao Shude promised that they could continue to take money, although these people probably no longer have much influence. After all, the slaves back then had been under the government for thirty years. People's hearts gradually changed, and most of them had even been buried. The new generation would not
May recognize them.
But Shao Shude is a kind man, and what he promised will continue. As for after his death, the new king of Daxia abolished these people's idle officials and salaries, and distributed various dividends and rewards. That was the new king's business and had nothing to do with him.
The three major parts of Hengshan are the Yeli clan, the Wuzang clan and Dongshan Dangxiang. Generally speaking, there are only the Yeli clan, and the Wuzang clan still has some direct subordinates, but their power is not as good as before - these old party members.
, used to be the leader of the vassal tribe of the Nori clan.
Thanks to Shao Sheng's thirty-year efforts to peel off the cocoon, Hengshan Dangxiang may have finally become a historical term. Ultimately, it is probably just because Shao Sheng has mastered the "core technology": making the cake bigger, dividing and disintegrating, and slowly digesting it.
