The unpainted wooden windows and doors are the natural color of wood, simple and elegant. In the humid air on rainy days, dust and dirt seem to be solidified on the edges and corners of the house; however, the room has been carefully cleaned and scrubbed, and most places are in contrast. , even more spotless.
Mrs. Lu, who was sitting on her knees opposite the desk, was wearing a light gray cloth robe. The clothes found for her fit well and wrapped around her graceful body, making her waist appear more slender and flexible.
The pale goose-yellow face and the beautiful and charming willow-leaf eyes seem to have a bit more classical temperament in this simple room. A small piece of skin is occasionally exposed in the collar, which probably has not seen the light all year round. The color is lighter than that of her face and neck. Mrs. Lu has a rare and eerie temperament, which makes people feel curious and curious.
Of course, Qin Liang is just looking at it, and it is not illegal to look at it. He has Wang Lingjun and Xuanji, so he is not obsessed with women.
Mrs. Lu suddenly spoke, her voice a little thick, but quite feminine, "My husband heard Mr. Fu's comments in Luoyang, saying that you are not close to women?"
When Qin Liang heard this, he seemed to feel the beautiful shape and smooth touch on his hands again. However, he was just reminded and suddenly recalled the past.
He was slightly embarrassed and said: "There are often mistakes in criticism. But I am not pretending to be arrogant. It is mostly just a misunderstanding."
After a moment's pause, he continued: "The matters between men and women are relatively private. I don't like to let others know, let alone talk about it everywhere. Once irrelevant people comment on this kind of thing, I won't let it go. When it comes to very complicated matters such as etiquette and reputation, each other will have reservations and wariness, and it will become very boring."
He said it more implicitly, but in fact he just likes to do it quietly and not talk about it.
Mrs. Lu suddenly looked at him with a very strange look.
Qin Liang did not want to continue talking about this kind of thing. He was still worried about Shu's wooing. Although he did not want to rebel against Tao as a last resort, it was necessary to leave a way out.
Now that Fei Yi is interested, the Shu spies sent by him are right in front of him. It is really a rare opportunity. If Qin Liang misses this chance and arranges it by himself in the future, he will have to work hard and may not be able to succeed.
His thinking speed is very fast, just like swordsmanship. It is obvious by speed that he will soon have a strategy in his mind.
So Qin Liang started with what Mrs. Lu was interested in, "Xiangu's husband was arrested for being a spy of the Han Dynasty. It is difficult not to recruit Gong when he enters the Tingwei Mansion. I am afraid that the crime of being a spy will be confirmed."
Sure enough, Mrs. Lu's attention was more focused.
Qin Liang glanced at her and continued: "No one in the official circles of Wei State can save him. No matter who goes to fish for people, their motives will be suspected. I can't even do it. As the fairy said, I should avoid suspicion."
Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked: "What should we do?"
Qin Liang said: "There is only one way."
Mrs. Lu's eyes were averted before, but now she stared at Qin Liang's eyes and begged: "Please enlighten me."
Qin Liang said in a deep voice: "Let the Han court save people, but the Han court is composed of many people, and General Fei Yi is a good choice."
Mrs. Lu frowned and said: "Wei Guoting Wei, will you listen to the Han Dynasty court?"
Qin Liang made a sound from his mouth and glanced at her, "Xiangu is a member of the world. She doesn't seem to understand the power field. Who can't trade with each other in this place? Let alone now, even if there is a fierce battle on the front line, we can still talk. The object of the transaction is not the key, the key is whether there are bargaining chips.”
For example, Zang Ba was also a hero of his generation. Now his beautiful concubine is traded by his son for an official position. This one is played with, and the other is played with. Isn't it normal for enemy countries to exchange some things?
Mrs. Lu seemed to understand and nodded gently.
Upon seeing this, Qin Liang said: "Xiangu's husband is not an important person. It is not difficult to replace him. The difficulty lies in whether General Fei Yi is willing to use his chips. Xiangu must first do something good for General Fei Yi, and then ask General Fei when he returns.
That’s more than half done.”
Mrs. Lu nodded vigorously and said, "The Lord's words are reasonable. I am just too anxious to care about you. I don't think much about it."
Qin Liang said kindly: "When something happens, it's useless to just be sad and anxious. You have to find a way. What does General Fei want Fairy to do?"
Mrs. Lu looked at Qin Liang and said in a deep voice: "The general admires Mr. Fu's talents very much and wants to associate with Mr. Fu. Are you willing to associate with the general privately or defect to the Han Dynasty?"
Qin Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was what he wanted.
But he couldn't fully trust either Fei Yi or Mrs. Lu. He was careful not to be caught in this matter, which would be troublesome. The people Qin Liang gathered were all operating in the Wei Dynasty, and Shu Han was currently just a backup.
Just a choice.
Qin Liang stood up from the banquet, walked a few steps, and then said: "If Fairy Girl gets nothing and goes back like this, I'm afraid things will be difficult to handle."
He walked to the door, observed the empty patio, and then walked back and whispered: "Xiangu went back to see General Fei. In addition to telling us what happened between us, she can also relay a sentence of mine. I am also very interested.
I admire the general’s character and conduct.”
Mrs. Lu was surprised and said: "Master Fu really wants to defect to the Han Dynasty?"
Qin Liang glanced at her and said: "My official career in the Wei Dynasty is going smoothly. Of course I don't have that intention at this time. But I don't need to tell General Fei these words."
He secretly thought: Fei Yi could probably know that the battle against Shu was going like that, and that the Shu Han might have spies in Wei. Fei Yi would probably know that the internal strife in Wei was serious now, and some officials were in danger. So Fei Yi still had hope of winning over
Some great Wei talents.
It's just that the two parties have just contacted each other. Qin Liang didn't want to speak too clearly at this time, so he gave some hints and let Fei Yi figure it out on his own.
Mrs. Lu took a deep breath and looked at Qin Liang's face, "Is it because of me that Mr. Fu did this?"
Qin Liang thought about his experience of dying of thirst in the Qinling Mountains, and did not want to lie to her, so he kindly said truthfully: "It's more than that. But I have no ill intentions towards Fairy Girl, and I don't want to see Fairy Girl with a sad face."
Mrs. Lu looked at him and said softly, "I have not yet repaid you for the kindness you gave me when you took the risk to save me in Luoyang. Now you try to save my husband, why do you treat me like this?"
Qin Liang scratched his chin lightly, "I have my own considerations, so I can't say more. However, there is a real kindness between Fairy Aunt and I, but we only get along for a short time, and we still lack some trust."
"You have nothing else to ask for?" Mrs. Lu asked again.
Qin Liang observed her somewhat embarrassed expression and thought to himself: If I am just for your beauty, what else can I do to save your husband? I have something to ask for, and only Fei Yi can give it, not you.
He smiled and said: "Xiangu, you don't need to feel that you owe me anything. Qin Chuanzhong's kindness is not too much for me.
Some things are very common, such as food, but it depends on where they are located. In some places, they are especially precious. And for some kindness, the one who pays first is the most sincere, because it is most likely to be paid in vain. Therefore, the fairy lady does not need to mind, but
Accept it calmly.”
Mrs. Lu suddenly whispered: "Then you still touch me?" After she said that, there was a prickly mark on her face.
Qin Liang didn't know how to explain it, and was speechless for a moment. He hadn't seen the woman for several months at that time, how could he think so much?
He then changed the topic and said: "Xiangu returned to the Han Kingdom to meet General Fei, but she still went to Qinchuan? Yiling is much closer."
Mrs. Lu said: "It is safest to take a detour to Qinchuan. There are small paths on the Tangluo Road, and almost no one walks on them. However, there are many Taoist priests around Taibai Mountain, and I can find someone to help."
Qin Liang nodded and said: "Xiangu has just traveled such a long way. You can rest here for a while and recuperate your body. You will have to go around two thousand miles to go back. At that time, I will send someone to take Xiangu to Guanzhong."
Mrs. Lu said: "Fortunately, the Lord has taken good care of me during this trip."
"It's all small things." Qin Liang said.
He had almost said what he wanted to say, and then he bowed and said, "I have to go back to the county government. Say goodbye."
Mrs. Lu's face showed surprise at Qin Liang's sudden farewell, her willow-leaf eyes seemed to say: Are you leaving now?
She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "I'll escort you out of the house."
Qin Liang turned around and said: "Immortal, please stay here and don't worry about the red tape."
When he walked out of the room, he put the matter of Shu Han out of his mind for the time being, and walked quickly to the carriage, because he had other things to do when he returned to the county government. Qin Liang was tall, and he could walk very fast when his legs were fast.
Qin Liang quickly walked along the road next to the patio and approached the carriage. When he stepped to the tail door of the carriage, he looked back. He saw a classically graceful girl standing under a simple and old eaves, surrounded by a
There were no people around, and the aura actually felt a bit weird and demonic.
Mrs. Lu was still subconsciously moving forward. Qin Liang gave her his hand again and got on the carriage.
The courtyard is not far from the county government, and Qin Liang returned to the palace in a short while. He did not go back to the inner palace for lunch at noon, but only ate public meals with the officials in the palace to save time on going back and forth. Anyway, he was in a hurry to return to the inner chamber at noon.
I couldn't even exchange a few words with Wang Lingjun and Xuanji.
In the elegant front hall of the mansion, there are volumes of documents piled on the floor, and bamboo slips with paper, ink, and pen on the table. It is an elegant scene. But the content of the plan that Qin Liang is tinkering with is Xiang Hepi.
He is thinking about how to organize it so that the people in the military and civilian villages can compost and ferment. In addition, a batch of large earthen jars must be made to boil the excrement of humans and animals. The purpose is to obtain cooked fertilizer.
It was originally a very simple way to fertilize the land, but because the ancients did not know the existence of pathogens, microorganisms, etc., probably until the Qing Dynasty, almost no one in the world knew that cooked fertilizer was more efficient.
Starting with fertilizers, the agricultural harvest in Lujiang County can be greatly increased, and it may not be difficult to double the yield per mu.
Qin Liang had long realized that wars were fought primarily on the economy, even in ancient times. Chinese and foreign armies were more elite because of their higher armor rate and relatively stable food supply.
Martial skills are not the focus. If the soldiers don't have enough to eat, how can they get physical training? At this time, those armies that can't go out for training twice a month are just like that.
There is also a curved shaft plow, which is also a very simple structure. Qin Liang has already drawn a rough outline. He was born in a rural area in his previous life and is very familiar with the shape of a plow. However, it is best to wait for Ma Jun to arrive and then let Ma Jun perfect it.
Let him be in charge of production.
Farmers at this time were not only concerned with the structure of their plows when stationing troops. They were also short of iron because of the official sale of salt and iron. Many people were using wooden plows, which was a waste of energy and low efficiency. Qin Liang was looking forward to it
Chen An came over as an iron official as soon as possible in order to get better quality iron materials and equip the Quyuan plow first.
In the afternoon, Qin Liang called Wang Kang again and sent him back to Pingyuan County.
After the Battle of Shu was over and Cao Shuang returned to Luoyang, Sima Yi seemed to have started to hang up recently and did nothing. Cao Shuang did not allow him to leave Luoyang again. So Qin Liang became bolder and planned to make preparations first.
After observing the situation in Luoyang, he went to work in Lujiang County.
