Farmer of Shu Han

"Judged?"

Hearing the words, the young man gave the middle-aged man a weird look, as if he had heard some joke, he suddenly burst out laughing impolitely.

After laughing for a long time, he pointed to the side of the guide and said, "General Xiahou, there are seven counties in Nanzhong, and the barbarians in the six counties all call the prime minister Grandpa Zhuge and elder brother the king of ghosts."

Then he pointed to the northeast again, "Since the late emperor passed away, the prime minister has been assisting the emperor for nearly ten years. Everyone in the world says that the prime minister is good at governing the country, and even the emperor calls the prime minister the father of the prime minister."

"I don't know how much more honor the prime minister receives than his elder brother? However, the prime minister is still respected by the emperor. How can my elder brother be jealous?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and smiled again: "Cheng Ping published the "Master List", and the first line of the list is the name of the elder brother."

"In "The List of Teachers", the guards mentioned are all those who stayed behind in Jincheng to assist the emperor. And the ones who are loyal and ambitious abroad have names and surnames, and the only one is the elder brother."

"General Xiahou, do you think the emperor will be jealous of elder brother?" He raised his tone again, "Besides, since the founding of the country, there has never been a monarch and his ministers being jealous of each other."

"If you don't believe me, let's look at the former emperor, who avenged Guan Laojunhou. Although he was angry and raised his teacher, it also shows the importance of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers."

"During the Battle of Yiling, Huang Quan led his army to surrender to the enemy, but the late emperor thought he had betrayed Huang Quan, and treated his wife and children as before."

The young man's expression became more and more meaningful: "General Xiahou's taboo words, could it be that he judges others by himself?"

"That's right, from the perspective of the three generations of Wei thieves, they are either suspicious, narrow-minded, or angry. Suspicion of subordinates is a common thing."

When Xiahouba heard this, his face was full of anger, and he interrupted the other party roughly: "Wang Taishou, don't insult people too much!"

Wang Taishou is naturally the prefect of Yuexie County, Wang Ping's son, Wang Xun.

I saw Wang Xun said slightly mockingly:

"When General Xiahou said that my brother was tabooed, did he ever think about humiliating him too much?"

"Now I'm just stating a fact, but I didn't expect that in the eyes of General Xiahou, it would be too humiliating, hehe..."

Needless to say, Cao Cao was suspicious.

Just one Xun Yu has already made people who came after him sigh with regret.

Cao Pi is narrow-minded.

Huang Quan defected to the enemy and was treated favorably by the state of Wei. Liu Bei blamed himself for his failure, and some people might say it was just a show.

But fear of everything is afraid of comparison.

Yu Jin surrendered to the enemy in the Battle of Jingzhou, and was sent back to Wei State, but he was humiliated to death by Cao Pi.

Comparing the two, it is up to the judge.

As for Cao Rui...

Xiahouba himself is the best example.

He was defeated and captured to Hanzhong, and he paid homage to his ancestors by the way.

The three clans of Xiahou (namely Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Xiahoushang) who stayed in Wei State are all called to Luoyang now, and they are called preferential treatment, but they are actually soft prisons.

Of course, this was the news conveyed to him by the Han people.

There are also news brought by people who defected to Shu from the state of Wei.

There is also news that the caravan headed to Wei State came back.

True or false, the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom.

Xia Houba wanted to deny it vigorously.

But he knew in his heart: the rumours, not necessarily without reason.

Xia Houmao (Xiahou Dun's son) was almost beheaded by His Majesty for selling grain.

Xiahouxuan (Xiahoushang's son) has always been hated by His Majesty, and was later involved in the vanity case.

As for myself (Xiahouyuan's son), in His Majesty's eyes, he is already a defector.

The brothers who are still in Wei State are lucky to have escaped, not to mention being able to receive all the favors like before.

So thinking about it, the situation of the Xiahou clan in Wei State at this time may be really not good.

However, the more this was the case, the more what Wang Xun said hurt Xia Houba's heart, making him feel ashamed and angry, but he couldn't refute it.

He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's all Feng Wenhe's fault!"

If he could commit suicide when the army was defeated, how could the disaster of today come about?

At this time, Xia Houba regretted that he was too innocent, and believed Feng Wenhe's nonsense from the very beginning.

Why do you come to Hanzhong to meet your clan sister, sacrifice your father and brother...

Fake, all fake!

How could such a cruel person be so kind?

It's just clever talk and tricks to lure yourself into the trap!

Today's self is not a surrender, but he has become a surrender, even if he is covered in mouths, he can't tell clearly.

The news that Liu Chan's queen, as the niece of Xiahou's family, accompanied him to worship his father and brother, spread throughout Guanzhong and Luoyang so quickly.

To say that there is no reason why the Han people spread it on purpose, Xia Houba would rather believe that his father and brother are still alive in this world.

Maybe it was planned by Feng Wenhe.

With such thoughts in mind, Xia Houba repeated again through gritted teeth: "It's all Feng Wenhe's fault!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Wang Xun, stretched out his hand to take the horse led by his entourage, got on the horse, and rode straight forward.

Wang Xun didn't care either.

These days, whenever Xia Houba mentioned his elder brother, he would always scold him angrily.

It's just that this person's identity is quite different, and the relationship between Mrs. Zhang and him is even more complicated.

I heard that my elder brother also wanted to call him uncle.

So Wang Xun didn't want to treat him well, at most he just argued with him.

For the rest, as long as he doesn't overdo it, he will do it.

Seeing that Xia Houba's figure was getting smaller and smaller, he hurriedly led people to follow.

Xiahouba rode his horse and ran for a while, only then did he feel that the depression in his chest was relieved a little.

He looked up and looked around, only to realize that he had come to a mulberry forest.

Under the mulberry tree, some people were digging holes, and some people were piled up with dark things from other places under the tree.

On the edge of the mulberry forest, there is also a large reservoir.

Seeing the work done by those common people is very different from that in the north.

Xia Houba couldn't help but stopped again.

Ever since he knew that he was nominally "betrayed" by the people of Shu, Xia Houba often jumped to curse someone with the surname Feng.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhang Xiahou took Xiahouba away from Hanzhong in the name of returning to Jincheng to see the empress dowager.

Although Zhang Xiahou had some complaints about Feng, in fact, he still agrees with Feng's ability.

Especially after the Hanzhong party, Zhang Xiahou's family has acquiesced in a certain identity of her youngest daughter.

So she still said some good things about Feng in front of Xia Houba.

After all, we have become a family, and we still have to meet again in the future. It's not good if the relationship is too rigid.

It's just that my sister from the family said that Feng Wenhe was a good leader, because Xia Houba has no right to speak in this regard.

But to say that this person even has the means to govern the local area, which few people can match, it is really unconvincing.

Yunwen Yunwu, writing can be famous all over the world, leading the army can break the enemy and expand the frontier, if the ability to govern the people is only inferior to Zhuge Liang, this kind of talent may only come out once in a hundred years.

Now the people of Shu have Zhuge Liang in front and Feng Yong in the back. Is it possible that the Shu Kingdom is really favored by heaven?

Xia Houba naturally didn't believe it.

So he had to go and see for himself.

He knew that the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Shu was high, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Yuejuan, he found that there were quite a lot of legacy of the former Han Dynasty recorded in the book.

When the former Han conquered the Xiongnu, the Hu people who heard that the Han soldiers were not afraid of them called them Hanzi, and they called them heroic men.

But here in Yuexi, hearing that the Wei bandits were gnashing their teeth, and taking the task of destroying Wei, Xia Houba was really terrified.

Not to mention the hearts of the people, even the common people's concerns about agriculture and mulberry are far different from those in the north.

He stepped forward and asked:

"Dare to ask this old man, why did you dig a hole under the mulberry tree?"

The old farmer who was waving his hoe stopped, looked Xia Houba up and down, and asked:

"Did this nobleman come from somewhere else? You have only arrived in Yuexi not long ago?"

Xia Houba was taken aback immediately: "How did the old man know?"

The old farmer chuckled and pointed at the mulberry tree:

"Nowadays, all the mulberries that are raised in Yueyi are Feng Sang. They are the high-quality mulberry seeds that Feng Junhou worked so hard to find, and they can produce good silkworms."

"When the lords and lords were persuading farmers and mulberry farmers in Yuexie, they taught me that mulberry trees should be treated as food, and that the dead branches of mulberry trees should be cut at the beginning of spring."

Then the old farmer pointed to the large pool next to the mulberry forest and said, "At the same time, we will start stocking fish fry..."

The more Xia Houba listened, the more confused he became: "Why put fish fry in the pond?"

"Fish farming!"

The old farmer said of course.

Seeing Xiahouba's unawareness again, the old farmer laughed and patted his head, "I'm so confused, I forgot that the distinguished guest came from another place."

"This pond has a special name called Fish Pond. Junhou said that there are many low-lying places in the Sunshui River Valley, but when it rains, it is easy to cause disasters."

"So dig more fish ponds in low-lying areas, and then use the excavated pond mud to build pond foundations on the side, which can reduce water damage. Moreover, fish ponds can store water to prevent drought."

"The land at the base of the pond is fertile. Planting mulberry trees on top of the pond will not take up the land, and you can get mulberry leaves to raise silkworms. It's a feat."

When Xia Houba heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and admiring: "So that's the case! Then Feng Wen... um, eh!"

"It's more than that!"

It is rare for the old farmer to see such a foreign bumpkin who has never seen the world, and he looks like a noble bumpkin, so he continued with great interest:

"Mulberry is planted on the base of the pond, mulberry leaves are fed to silkworms, silkworm sand is fed to fish, fish dung is used to fertilize the pond, and pond mud is choked with mulberry, this is an endless life."

As he spoke, the old farmer sang:

"In January and February, mulberry branches are trimmed and fish fry are released; in March and April, mulberry fertilizer is applied; in May, silkworms are raised, and in June, silkworms are sold, and silkworm chrysalis are used to feed fish; in July and August, the pond is cleared and the pond foundation is fixed; at the end of the year, the number Monthly weeding and feeding the fish."

"The fish pond is wide and the fish pond is deep. The fish caught can be salted and salted, and the salted fish can be sent to the army..."

There are salt wells in Yuejuan, and together with the rice flower fish that Feng Junhou made in the past, the salted fish in Yuejuan is now very famous in Shu.

Anyway, the Hu people in Longyou gave the salted fish in the ration bag a thumbs up, and praised the salted fish for being fragrant, salty and delicious.

When Xia Houba heard this slang song, he could not help being a little crazy when he talked about farming in Sangtang for a year.

"I heard that the old man is not like an ordinary farmer, dare to ask his name?"

The old farmer laughed again, and waved his hands:

"I was just an old soldier who retired from the army. Later, I was misused by Junhou. I followed Junhou's side as a personal guard for several years, and finally followed Junhou to pacify Yuexiu."

"Later, Junhou led the army to go north, and he no longer needed my old body, so he arranged for me a position as a village elder. These things were all taught by Junhou himself."

Xia Houba was stunned again, his face was cloudy and clear, sometimes red and sometimes blue, extremely wonderful.

The old farmer didn't notice the change in Xia Houba's face, but he was still rambling:

"Junhou taught us these things back then, and he only said that as long as we do what he taught, everyone's life will be easier."

"It's just a pity, Junhou didn't see Yue Yu's appearance today with his own eyes, and I don't know if he is doing well in Liangzhou..."

Xiahouba finally came back to his senses, forced a smile and said:

"Old man, many people are now saying that they want to sell grain and help Feng, Feng...Junhou over there in Liangzhou, why don't you go?"

"Why didn't you go? I had someone sell my surplus grain two days ago."

The old farmer quickly clarified.

"Oh, oh, that's it."

Xia Houba arched his hands to express his apology, and then looked away.

But seeing the slight waves in the fish pond, I don't know if the fish came up to breathe or were wrinkled by the wind.

Seeing the green mulberry leaves around the fish pond again, he couldn't help sighing:

"He really is a talent for governing the world! Just looking at this fertile field of Sangtang makes people want to know how elegant he was when he governed Yueyu..."

The old farmer had already bent down to dig a hole, but when he heard this, he stood up straight again and said with a smile:

"The nobleman's words really speak to people's hearts. In fact, we often think, if the prince has the opportunity to come back and take a look, how good it would be?"

"However, whenever I think of Junhou, I have a place to go."

As he spoke, he pointed to the west:

"From this official road, there is a large piece of fertile land, which was cultivated by the prince himself. There is a stele at the top of the field with the inscription 'Feng Hou once cultivated here', that's it."

Xia Houba didn't want to see Feng Yong at first, but after talking with the old farmer, he heard something that he had never heard before, and finally became curious in his heart.

He bowed his hands to thank the old farmer, turned around and returned to the official road.

Wang Xun, who had fallen behind for a while, had already been waiting there.

Xia Houba glanced at Wang Xun, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked:

"Prefect Wang, do you know where Feng Mingwen farmed?"

Wang Xun has always followed his elder brother's attitude.

Although Xia Houba kept saying that his elder brother bullied him, since his elder brother called him uncle.

Then no matter how much I can't get used to Xia Houba, as long as the other party doesn't make trouble, then I still have to pay attention to how to save face.

At this time, Wang Xun couldn't help being a little surprised to see that the other party's attitude had changed, and nodded at the same time:

"Naturally."

"Can I go and see?"

"Why not? I'll lead the way."

A group of people rode horses, and after a while, they arrived at the place the old farmer said, and saw the stone tablet standing on the top of the field.

Xiahouba got off his horse and stood in front of the stele, looking at the rice fields with green waves constantly turning up in front of him, and remained silent.

Wang Xun stood beside him and said:

"Back then, my elder brother led the army on the avenue leading to Jincheng, and left Yuejuan secretly. When the people knew about it, my elder brother had already arrived in Jincheng."

"After my elder brother left, the government of Yuexuan implemented his legacy policy unchanged, and after a few years, the people had enough food and clothing. Someone erected this stone tablet in the place where he personally cultivated, as a token of his kindness."

Xiahouba's eyes changed and his face was complicated, it took him a long time to murmur:

"He can be so remembered by the people, my sister really didn't lie to me."

His heart was even more turbulent.

Feng Yong, who is still young, has already achieved such achievements. In the future, he will surely become the pillar of the Shu Kingdom after Zhuge Liang.

There was Zhuge in the front of the Kingdom of Shu, and Feng Yong in the back. Could it be that they are really favored by heaven?

As he was thinking, he unconsciously touched the stone tablet with his hand.

At this moment, someone shouted angrily from far away:

"Stop! Damn it! Who are you? How dare you touch this stele!"

Xia Houba subconsciously withdrew his hand and followed the sound.

I saw a few young gentlemen running over with sticks in their hands. When they saw the pedestrians were wearing weapons around their waists, knowing that they were not ordinary people, they still had the courage to ask:

"Who are you?"

Xia Houba saw that although the other party spoke Chinese, their accent was very strange, it seemed a bit like Luo Xia's accent, but it was very awkward.

More importantly, judging by their attire, they still have an obvious barbarian style.

The entourage had already surrounded Wang Xun and Xiahouba, with their hands on the handle of the knife.

Wang Xun pushed away his followers, and bowed his hands to several young gentlemen:

"We came down from the county government to inspect the farming, and we came here specially to see how the princes and princes were in those days. How many of them are they?"

Several young gentlemen heard the words, and then saw the opponent's formation, and knew that it should not be a lie, and the leader summoned up his courage and said:

"It turned out to be a senior official, but if you look at your ears, why do you still touch the stele? This is my family's land, and you are not allowed to touch the stele."

Hearing the other party say the word "adult", Xia Houba knew that these people were barbarians.

"It turned out that the master came, we didn't pay attention for a while, so don't blame it."

Wang Xun quickly apologized.

But Xia Houba couldn't help but interjected: "Your land?"

Didn't it mean that this is where Feng Mingwen farmed?

Why did it become the land of barbarians again?

"Of course!" the leader, Yiren Langjun, raised his head and said, "When Feng Junhou was farming here, we even caught fish for Junhou!"

"That's right, we have caught fish for Junhou for a long time, so Junhou later gave us these lands to plant, saying that Han and Yi are one family."

One hundred loaches for one meatloaf!

They will never forget the taste of that meatloaf.

Speaking of this matter, the faces of the barbarians were full of pride.

"Your Majesty even taught us to sing, if you don't believe me, I'll sing it to you."

"The pond is full of water, the rain has stopped, and there are loaches everywhere in the mud beside the field..."

Xia Houba was dumbfounded when he heard it, what kind of slang song is this?

Why is the voice so weird?

Could it be a barbarian dialect from somewhere?

Wang Taishou's face twitched.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the elder brother made unscrupulous deals with these barbarians, Wei Guangzheng's image would have been stained if it hadn't been for the gift of land later.

Fortunately, the current story is that Feng Junhou asked them to catch loach in order to test them...

These barbarian young gentlemen have transformed from fools to protagonists who have adventures in the story.
