Although the young Zhuge Liang was smart, his thinking was still not deep enough. Liu Xiang did not examine his knowledge or inquire about his strategic plan. He just took a few children around for a while, mediated the relationship between the three of them, and made them look familiar.
That’s all.
Do you really think that twelve-year-old Zhuge Liang can control the world? That is too flattering.
There is still a lot of knowledge he needs to learn.
Although his way to go to Jingzhou and become a disciple of Mr. Shui Jing was cut off, there were many famous Confucian scholars in the academy, including Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Song Zhong, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Lu Zhi, none of whom were better than Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan.
Difference.
Sima Hui's name is very famous in later generations. It was Zhuge Liang who supported it. Without Kong Ming, Mr. Shui Jing would have been just a famous Confucian in the late Han Dynasty.
"I want to go back. The three of you are not acquainted with each other before we fight. A man must be open-minded and not be fussy. We will study together in the future and help each other, so as not to be classmates." Liu Xiang stayed in the bookstore.
It's been a long time and it's time to go back to the palace.
"Well, I will be a general on the battlefield in the future, and I will not hold grudges." Cui Qi was the first to promise.
Of course you don't need to hold grudges, it's someone else who gets beaten.
Zhuge Liang secretly rolled his eyes and saluted with his hands raised: "Liang will take the general's warning to heart."
Lu Yu also nodded repeatedly.
After touching the heads of the three little guys, Liu Xiang said goodbye to Cai Yan and returned to Ye County.
The bookstore is just a sideshow, there are still a lot of serious things to deal with.
The farmland planning in the four prefectures has basically been completed, and Fan Xian has recently been working on experimental fields to overcome the problem of early-maturing wheat seeds.
His hometown is in Liangzhou, and he knows that there is still room for promotion of paddy fields in the eastern plains, but in the west, dry fields are mainly used, and food depends on growing wheat and millet. This is already evident in Bingzhou.
The main crops there are wheat and corn. The yield is not high and the population that can be fed is limited. Now there are one million people in Bingzhou, and they have to rely on You and Hebei to transport food every year.
There is no large-scale migration because there are many people engaged in timber, mining, animal husbandry, lacquer orchards, orchards and other related industries, exchanging these commodities for food.
Agricultural books are still being compiled, and several volumes have been written about seedling raising, rice transplanting, fertilization, irrigation, and the use and manufacture of some agricultural tools.
Six lines of columbine, thirsty crow, overturning cart, water wheel, long plow and short plow are also recorded.
A long plow is a straight-shaft plow, and a short plow is a curved-shaft plow.
The Quyuan plow has not yet been fully promoted, and has only been tried in some areas of Youzhou and Jizhou, with good results.
Liu Xiang felt it was time.
Although the Yangtze River Basin is more suitable for the application of the curved plow, there is no need to hide it now. The population and cultivated land have its own advantages, and there is no need to suppress the application of this technology.
But he still didn't dare to reveal the silage feed technology. It was an artifact of the rise of the grassland and could not be obtained by barbarians, at least not yet. The plan to convert the grassland into Chinese had not yet advanced to that point, and there were still hundreds of thousands of Xianbei in Mobei.
Before eating them, Liu Xiang would rather slaughter livestock in large quantities in the pastures under his own control in winter.
Without silage feed technology, the Hu tribes in the grassland would have to be constrained by natural wintering pastures, limiting population growth and never increasing in size.
With this technology, the nomadic people, who have all the people as soldiers, are a disaster for the farming people.
No amount of caution can be exaggerated in this regard.
Now the Xianbei royal court does not dare to go south to provoke him because he is too small and has not yet conquered the Wuhuan, Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes. In the two states of Youbian, the number of Hu people who have accepted Hanization has exceeded one million, and there are six
One hundred thousand people grazed outside the Great Wall, which was much more than the population of the Xianbei royal court.
Bingzhou has also absorbed many Qiang and Di tribes, mainly living in Shangjun. Tens of thousands of people from Liangzhou have fled to Bingzhou. They are willing to accept Chineseization and are eager to become Han people.
Yan Rou reported that Zuo Fengyi of Sanfu now has Di tribes migrating to Bingzhou.
In this era, the Han people are a golden brand, fatally attractive to foreigners. However, the Han people in the past were too proud and disdainful of foreigners and were unwilling to accept them.
Liu Xiang's reputation among the dozen or so foreign tribes in the north has long been unparalleled. Those Hu people, Yi people, and Qiang Di all respect and fear him.
He accepts these foreigners and is willing to treat them as equals. This is a great kindness.
He never failed in his conquests against foreigners. From the northeast to the northwest, he killed 700,000 to 800,000 Yi, Hu, and Qiang Di people, and even completely wiped out an entire country.
They were afraid of Liu Xiang from the bottom of their hearts.
In fact, it is not just the Hu people who are afraid of him, there are also many Han people who are afraid of him.
It's too murderous.
He ordered eight to nine million people to be executed in battles large and small. This is why Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, who knew him well, were unwilling to fight to the death with him.
If Liu Yicheng is really annoyed, this guy really dares to kill them all.
After Fatty Dong became powerful, he became extremely arrogant and domineering, but he never once provoked Liu Xiang.
Cao Cao even set his next expansion goal directly in the southwest, wholeheartedly wanting to enter Jingzhou, not just to avoid his attack.
Only Yuan Shao was fearless, but he was severely beaten and nearly two-thirds of his troops were eaten.
But Yuan Shu was so happy that he sent an envoy to arrange a marriage with Liu Xiang. He said that he wanted to marry his concubine as his concubine. The concubine was too young and not old enough for marriage. If he was willing, he would marry him in a few years.
Marrying as a head wife can also be discussed.
Forget it, Liu Xiang has no intention of divorcing his wife. It is enough to take a concubine and win over Yuan Shu.
The area north of the Yangtze River has been divided up by various princes, and the next step is south of the Yangtze River.
There was nothing going on in the south of the Yangtze River without Liu Xiang, and he was beyond his reach, so he focused on the Guanzhong Plain and waited patiently for Fatty Dong to be killed by Lu Bu and Wang Yun, a pair of fellows from Bingzhou.
Once Dong Zhuo dies, the Liangzhou group will be in chaos. The Anping army will be able to attack Fengyi on the left, and Hanzhong and Wudu in the south will be able to send troops to Fufeng on the right. The two armies will attack Jingzhao, and Chang'an will become a turtle in the urn.
Then find a way to kill the emperor and the central courtiers, and you will be able to truly dominate the world. Even if the other princes are in alliance to resist, they can still fight head-on.
The base for the attack on Sanfu is Hedong, where the armies of Yan Rou, Xu Rong, Zhang He and Xu Huang are gathered. The Chinese army can also advance westward at any time, and has accumulated 400,000 shi of food and grass.
Youzhou and the northern part of Jizhou are passing through several Taihang passes, continuously transporting grain and grass to Bingzhou, and the navy is also transporting baggage to Hedong through the Yellow River.
Liu Xiang wanted to stockpile millions of stones of military rations in Hedong County before the battle began.
The captured Baibo Huangjins have selected 30,000 young men to serve as civilian husbands for this battle. The remaining captives and the few remaining common people in Hedong have all been organized into military camps and farmed on the spot.
In the future, Hedong County was mainly a land for farming, which was used to support the military expenditure of the three auxiliary forces in the attack on Liangzhou.
In order for these things to be implemented smoothly, Xun Yu worked in secret for nearly a month. In mid-May, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Return to Ye County to report to Liu Xiang.
Xun Wenruo, who used to be fragrant in the past, rarely smelled like sweat.
Xun Yu loved incense, not only his robes and accessories, but he also especially liked to light a furnace of spices and read and work in an aroma-filled environment.
So every time I see him, I am always accompanied by a faint fragrance.
Wherever he sits, the fragrance will remain.
This is the allusion to Xun Ling’s fragrance.
All marinated in flavor.
The prototype of Chu Liuxiang in Gu Long's novel is Xun Wenruo.
It is extremely rare for such a person to have the stench of sweat on his body, which also shows that he has been really tired during these days and has not even bothered to take care of his appearance.
"If you've worked hard, please sit down and rest quickly. I recently got a piece of ambergris. I know you like the incense, so I'll give you half of it."
This means that you have given in to what he wants. Xun Yu smiled happily and said: "Then it would be disrespectful to refuse. Thank you for your love, my lord."
Liu Xiang smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to be so polite, Wen Ruo, if I can get good spices, I will definitely share them with you."
Xun Yu's eyes narrowed and he heard the hidden meaning behind the words. He smiled and replied: "Yu, I'm so flattered that I don't dare to say goodbye."
Liu Xiang was very happy: "Hahaha, I have another treasure that I want to show Wen Ruo to appreciate."
The treasure was of course the imperial seal. Seeing this seal, Xun Yu did not make any fuss or make any suggestions. However, the next day, Guo Jia came to the palace to ask for an audience.
