Farmer of Shu Han

Before the prime minister of the Han Dynasty marched south, the Nanzhong area that the Han Dynasty could control was at most Zhuti County, and the area east of Pingyi County in Zangke County.

After the Southern Expedition, the area directly controlled by the Han Dynasty could reach Weixian County in Jianning County (that is, Qujing in later generations).

The development of Xinghan Club in recent years is basically in the north of Wei County.

It was only in the past two years that it began to gradually infiltrate into the southernmost three counties of Xinggu, Yunnan, and Yongchang.

The most obvious feature is the plantations of the Xinghanhui, not only sugarcane plantations, but also tea gardens, and even a small amount of tung tree gardens, which have appeared in Dianchi Lake and Nongdong County, the prefecture of Yunnan County (that is, later generations Yao An).

Moreover, on the route from Weixian County, through Dianchi Lake, to Nongdong County, the number of cavalry teams of Xinghan Club gradually increased.

In particular, the tea garden in Dianchi Lake is a key support project of Xinghanhui.

There is no other reason. The tea in Dianchi Lake has long been famous in Sichuan.

Some people even say that Dianchi Lake is the best tea in Nanzhong, and it was once a tribute.

I don’t know if it’s true, but as far as Feng Yong knows, the tea from Dianchi Lake in Yunnan is indeed quite famous in later generations.

Therefore, the Xinghan Society also specially provided money and food, and asked the Dudu Mansion to come forward, summoned the local Yi people, and rebuilt the road from Weixian County to Dianchi Lake.

For the barbarians in Nanzhong, such things as corvee labor have never happened before.

In addition to the government, there are also local wealthy families who force local barbarians to work for them. That was a common thing in the past.

It’s okay to have heavy corvees, and you have to hand in a lot of special products every year. If you can’t pay, you have to sell your children and daughters to sell yourself.

The heavy oppression of the southern Zhongyi people by the government and the powerful clan has a long history.

After the prime minister of the Han Dynasty erected a stone monument in Wei County, it is not to say that there was no corvee in the government, but compared with before, it is really light.

Then after finishing the corvee stipulated by the government, everyone was preparing to go home, and then the government suddenly said that if they continue to work, not only will they be provided with food and housing, but also food and cloth to receive!

This is such a great thing... Of course, it is impossible for everyone to believe it!

Since ancient times, only the government has collected grain and money from the head of Guizhou. How can it be reversed?

But soon someone moved out a large amount of woolen cloth, millet and other things in front of everyone.

Now some people began to be dubious.

It must be risky to receive grain and cloth after working for a month.

what risk? Of course, it is a risk of doing nothing for a month.

But you can eat a day's food for nothing if you work for a day, so you can try it.

Anyway, if there is one more day or one day less, no one will die.

So someone tried it, and he was able to eat the meal of the government.

No loss!

Then on the third day, there were still meat dishes, and there was an extra steamed soft salted fish in each person's bowl!

Now everyone's enthusiasm has soared.

Salted fish is naturally a specialty of Yuejuan.

Back then, King Feng Gui was engaged in infrastructure construction in Yuejue University, but now it finally showed results.

The rice flower fish has been made into fish sauce, which has already gained a reputation in Jincheng.

The silk produced in Yuejuan became the top product in Shu.

Carefully selected high-quality mulberry varieties are planted around the fish pond.

As for the cultivation of silkworm eggs, Yue Jue has already been at the forefront of the big man.

In contrast, salted fish is the most inconspicuous product.

To do hard work, in addition to having enough food, you also need heavy oil and salt, and it is best to have meat and vegetables.

It's just that meat and vegetables are definitely not available now, but if they can eat enough every day, they can still eat a delicious salted fish every three days, which is enough for the Yi people to be ecstatic.

After another month of waiting, the government actually distributed food, and the entire construction site was immediately set ablaze.

In fact, the food distributed was so little that it could not even be converted into cloth.

But the people in the government said that as long as they are willing to continue working, they can save and receive together next month.

With the previous Lixin, although most of the barbarian people can't wait to get that little grain in their hands, there are also a small number of people who are willing to continue to save until next month.

The next thing is much easier.

The Yi people all said that as long as there is enough food and cloth, I can work until I die suddenly without complaint.

Ninety-six?

How can a person be so lazy? !

After the repair of the official road from Weixian County to Dianchi Lake was completed, some barbarians even got food or cloth tickets and went to Weixian County to exchange them for food and cloth.

With just this incident, the prestige of the Dahan government has begun to be re-established in the southernmost part of Nanzhong.

Although Xinghanhui paid a lot of money and food for this matter, it looks like it has been a fool for a while.

But no one complained, and even felt that the road was built too slowly.

Because compared with the horrible profits of tea in Longyou and Liangzhou, these money and food are nothing!

Everyone in the meeting was very anxious and wanted to run around the mountains around Dianchi Lake and drive out of the tea garden.

Because my brother said that there are two places in Nanzhong that are most suitable for growing tea.

One is Dianchi Lake, and the other is Yuyuze (that is, Erhai Lake).

They are all lands with mountains and lakes, surrounded by clouds and mist.

At present, Dahan owns the family of the tea garden, that is, brother, Zhao Erlang, Li Yi and other core members of the club.

The only exception is the sixth room of the Li family.

Fortunately, with Sister-in-Law Mu here, the sixth room of the Li family is not considered an outsider, so the tea seedlings are still completely controlled by Xinghanhui.

However, it will take at least three years for tea seedlings to be harvested.

For three full years, who knows how long my brother can stay in the position of Captain Hu Qiang?

Therefore, it is understandable that Xinghan will rush to repair the official road from Wei County to Dianchi Lake, and focus on supporting the tea garden project in Dianchi Lake.

When the news of Feng Yong's appointment as governor of Liangzhou first came out, why did the Xinghan Society not even sell wine to the north, but used it to celebrate?

Because this means that Xinghan will be able to occupy a huge advantage in the transactions in Liangzhou and even the Western Regions in the near future.

And the tea tree planted two years ago can just catch up with this wave of dividends, which is simply not too cool.

I want to be happy if I sell less jars of wine!

But in this world, if there is joy, there will be sorrow.

While the Xinghanhui was preparing for another wave of big dividends, Liu Zhou's rebellion in Yunnan County seemed so inopportune.

Capital is afraid of turmoil.

However, not far to the west of Dianchi Lake is Yunnan County. You said, what is this Liu Zhou?

More importantly, Erhai Lake is located in Yunnan County.

After the Dianchi Lake circled the mountains, the Xinghan Society used the old method to pay for food and money. The government came forward to invite people from the Nanxiang engineering team and barbarians to renovate the official road from Dianchi Lake to Yuyuze.

Although this time, the barbarians responded more positively than last time, but the amount of work was much larger.

Because although the official road from Wei County to Dianchi Lake is broken, intermittent main roads can still be found after all.

From Dianchi Lake to Nongdong, the situation is similar.

But from Nongdong to Yuyuze, it is like paving a new road.

The large amount of work means that the construction time is long, and the money and food are also consumed.

The only thing that is easier is that the horse team under the name of Hualan has stepped out of a trail, and construction can be carried out directly along this horse trail without further exploration.

Therefore, the official road from Dianchi Lake to Nongdong is barely passable this year, but if you want to go to Yuyuze again, you really have no spare power.

We can only wait until we get the dividends from Dianchi tea before starting work.

After all, supporting Longyou's elder brother at any time is the most important thing of Xinghanhui.

Xinghan Club can wait, but some people can't.

Those who can't wait are called garlands.

Because her horse team transported goods from Shu to Shan, Panyue and other places, only two or three times a year.

And Yunnan County is a must pass.

Once Liu Zhou makes trouble, Yunnan County will be impassable, why don't you let her worry?

"Ma Youchang, come out for me!"

In the town of Junzhi Alley in Yunnan County, the gate of a small courtyard was suddenly pushed open.

With a gust of wind, Huahuan rushed into the small courtyard, with her waist crossed, like a landlady collecting debts: "If you don't come out again, believe it or not, I will have someone smash your house today?"

But seeing that she was wearing leather shoes made of cowhide, a row of small holes were thoughtfully drilled on both sides of the upper to prevent the inside of the boots from being too stuffy.

A palm-width black cowhide strap is tied around the waist, outlining a small waist.

Narrow clothes with tight sleeves are easy to move around. It is a daily style that started in Nanxiang and is becoming popular in Dahan.

It's just that her whole body is mainly black and blue, her sleeves are slightly shorter, and her exposed wrists are wearing bright silver bracelets, which are different from those popular styles.

You can tell at a glance that it is custom-made from Nanxiang.

"Hua Niangzi, Hua Niangzi, our husband is really not at home..."

Trotted and bowed to the concierge who came over, "I also hope Miss Hua will forgive her sins!"

"Every time I come, he's not at home!" Hualan said "bah", "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? It's clear that he is hiding from me!"

At this time, I saw another woman running out of the yard, bowing to the flower garland:

"Hua Niangzi, Ah Lang is really not here this time, he went out early."

Although the woman spoke Chinese, her intonation was not very accurate. She was wearing a Han costume, but judging by her appearance, she was clearly a barbarian girl.

It was one of the barbarians who served Ma Su.

How can a garland be easily believed?

"Where did he go?"

"I went to the county government to discuss the matter with the officials of the government. If Miss Hua really has something urgent, I should go to the county government to find it."

When Huahuan heard this, she immediately choked.

No matter how much Ma Di was valued by the prefect, he was still a prisoner who was exiled to Yunnan after all, and he was still beaten by that person.

As for Hualan herself, over the years, she has been able to build such a large cavalry team. Many people say that there is someone above her, and it is the man who cannot be mentioned.

She said so much that even Hualan herself almost believed it.

Anyway, every time Feng Zhuang sent him the bonus, he always accepted it as it was, didn't he?

So she is naturally not afraid of Ma Di.

But I almost believed it, that means she still kept her sobriety after all:

It's one thing not to be afraid of Ma Di, but it's not like there's that man above him, at most he's his concubine, how could he not be afraid of the government?

After all, my parents are still enjoying the blessings of Jincheng, and they don't want to leave Jincheng!

Sheep tiger skin, nothing more.

So when Hua Xuan heard Ma Di's concubine say these words, she really had to snort, then turned her head and left.

The silver collar around her neck made a crisp and pleasant jingling sound as she walked.

"Youchang, it's not a good idea for you to do this. That Lady Hua has helped us a lot. In the past few months, she has gone to a lot of villages, affirming righteousness."

"Otherwise, then Liu Zhou might be able to coerce many tribes. Now that Liu Zhou has rebelled, but you have excused yourself from seeing her, aren't you afraid that she will go to Feng Junhou to complain?"

In the Yunnan prefect's mansion, the prefect Lu Kai and Ma Su were sitting and playing chess facing each other. There was also a teapot on the table.

"Hey, Ji Ping doesn't need to worry about this matter. That lady Hua met Feng Langjun, so don't tell me I don't have friendship with Feng Langjun?"

Compared to a few years ago, Ma Su's face was much darker, but his demeanor was much calmer, his eyes restrained, and his expression calm.

During the Southern Expedition, Lu Kai was rescued by Feng Yong, so he and Feng Yong also have a lot of friendship.

Everyone said that Ma Di was exiled to Yunnan after being beaten up by Feng Langjun.

But no one knew that when Ma Di first came to Yunnan, he went to Yunnan prefect Lu Kai with a letter from Feng Junhou in his arms.

Over the years, although Ma Di has no official position, he has been regarded by Lu Kai as the most important right-hand man.

As an aide, Ma Di's advice and suggestions helped Lu Kai a lot.

Lv Kai sighed from time to time, the characters that the Prime Minister has painstakingly cultivated are really extraordinary.

Liu Zhou had the heart to cause chaos, and Ma Di saw through it in advance.

When reporting to the Governor's Mansion, it was also Ma Di's suggestion to ask Miss Hua to appease the various tribes.

In order to maintain the smooth flow of business, Hua Niangzi readily agreed.

But I didn't expect that since Liu Zhou raised his troops to make trouble, Ma Di personally went to the Dudu's Mansion to persuade Zhang Yi to let the soldiers from all over the country stick to the key points for the time being and stand still.

Huahuan went to Ma Su several times, just to find out when the Dudu Mansion would send troops to quell the chaos.

Because it was Ma Di's suggestion that Zhang Yi asked Hualan to appease the barbarians, and he didn't hide it from her.

A few days ago, Ma Di visited the Governor's Mansion, and she knew about it, so in her opinion, Ma Di must know something inside.

But how dare Ma Di see her at this time?

So I had to hide in the prefect's mansion and try to be quiet.

"Liu Zhou's rebellion was only in a corner of Yunnan. Although the road over there is difficult, with the help of Miss Hua, I am not afraid that I will not be able to find the way. There is no need to alarm the court. The military strength of the Governor's Mansion is enough to wipe out this beast."

"Why did Youchang keep the troops on hold and let Liu Zhou make trouble? At that time, those barbarian leaders who are waiting and watching will see that the Dudu Mansion is unable to attack, and they will be ready to move."

Lu Kai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked.

"It's better to move," Ma Di smiled confidently, "Now that the matter has been completed, the Governor's Mansion has already dispatched troops, so it's okay for someone to talk about his plans."

He raised his index finger and pointed at the world, "Ji Ping thinks that the imperial court ordered Zhang Bogong to take over the position of Li Dudu, because it was not intentional?"

When Lu Kai heard Ma Di's words, he immediately sat up straight: "Please teach me, Youchang."

Lu Kai was originally from Yongchang County. Although the Lu family is well-known in the local area, it is located on the border of the Han Dynasty after all.

In the eyes of the big families in Shu County and other places, the Lu family in Yongchang is at best the level of a local rich man.

It was Lu Kai himself. Although he had been to Jincheng to face the saint, even as the prefect now, he still lacked knowledge in terms of court affairs.

Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity to learn this knowledge, it is natural to ask for advice.

Ma Di chuckled and waved his hands, "I don't dare to be a teacher, but I'm just talking about some things when I was with the prime minister."

"Young Chang, please tell me."

"Ji Ping knows that when the first emperor first entered Shu, there was a dispute between the prime minister and Fa Xiaozhi whether to be lenient or strict when governing Shu?"
