Royal Road

And the state never held a Yuanhui last year. Sima Teng abandoned the prefecture and fled, Jinyang hangs alone under the iron hoof of the Huns, who still wants to celebrate the new year? In addition, the Zhengdan solar eclipse last year has added a lot of unlucky colors to this year.

However, on the first day of this year, Jinyang completely changed his face.

Early in the morning, the burnt smoke of firecrackers had not completely dissipated, and the lobby of the Governor's Mansion was full. After the drumming is played, the officials offer worship. Today, five guards came to the six counties of the state. These two thousand stone officials, facing the people in the seat, still respectful, offering wine to celebrate the new year.

The Shangdang prefect Cui Ji, Leping Nei Shi Wenqiao, Taiyuan Ling Ge Hong, Xinxing Prefect Xuxian, and the new Yanmen prefect Guo Xing, all were drawn by Liang Feng. It was just a short year, except for the fact that Xihe Country has not recovered, and all the states are safe, which is truly a shocking move.

In the middle of the lobby, Liang Feng dressed in a blue court dress, sitting in the main seat. This is the spring dress of the Five Seasons court dress, the color is much brighter than the black dress in winter, and it makes his face like a crown jade. However, the top of the head and the silver-printed green ribbon on the waist add a very majestic look to that handsome face.

Wen Qiao finished his cup of pepper and cypress wine, and said loudly: "Last year, Leping added 5,000 households, reclaimed a thousand hectares, and set up 2,000 troops. I would like to congratulate the envoy for the age of three yuan.

The Yuanhui in Binzhou is different from other places. In addition to celebrating the New Year, it is also necessary to report one year's political achievements. Wen Qiao's achievements this year are not small, but now it is also very loud.

Liang Feng nodded: "Under Leping's rule of Antai, the people will live in a happy life. This is a great achievement. This year we should add more troops to prepare for foreign enemies."

Wen Qiao's heart shuddered upon hearing this. This was the first time Liang Shijun pointed out the tension facing Binzhou. After all, Leping State was still defending the rear of the Huns at the end of the year, developing agriculture and reclaiming wasteland and people. However, once he had a bad relationship with Youzhou, Leping changed from the rear to the front line, and he might still have the responsibility of defending the land.

However, what he thought in his heart, never showed it to his face, Wen Qiao respectfully returned: "The official understands."

He has also been familiar with military books since he was a child, and now he has joined other prefects in the state, and all have experienced fierce battles. Like Ge Hong, there are still military ranks. Wen Qiao was young and vigorous, and naturally he didn't want to be left behind. And to be honest, he was a bit uncomfortable with Wang Jun. Although they are all high sects in Bingzhou, Wang Jun is the heir of the concubine, and his identity is inherently subtle. In addition, this person was ruthless and unscrupulous. In the past, he and Jia Empress conspired to murder the prince stupefied, causing the country to lose the crown prince. This alone is enough to make people of insight cut off diplomatic relations with him. As for things like marrying a daughter to a Xianbei, it is even more contemptible.

Now that Wang Jun is entrenched in Youzhou, he has posed a threat to Bingzhou. If there is a battle to be fought, he is not afraid!

Withdrawing to the side, Wen Qiao watched the others offer congratulations. Listening all the way, even he was amazed. Bingzhou had been fighting last year, almost from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. However, during this period, the number of households increased by 30,000, and the land was reclaimed. This figure, in the Taikang period, is also extremely shocking, not to mention the current chaotic times. The population taken away by Sima Teng was not only made up in full, but also greatly increased. The efficiency of reclamation is even more shocking.

And such a large scale of sheltering refugees did not disturb the state and counties! If he hadn't personally governed Leping Country, he wouldn't believe it even if he heard it. Relief for work is really the easiest way to settle the people!

As long as they spend money and food similar to relief, the refugees will be able to open up wasteland. Building roads, building water conservancy projects, building Wubao, and even women and children can raise livestock, weave and spin. Every bit of manpower is used to the extreme. And this kind of work didn't make the people feel chilly. On the contrary, they knew what they had done desperately to settle down in the future.

Turn the refugees who are feared by everyone into obedient people under the rule. Such a method can be called astonishing. If Liang Shijun takes office, I'm afraid this troubled world will quickly settle down. Wen Qiao was born in Gaomen since he was a child. His parents are six generations, and they are called "six dragons", all of whom are talents in the world. But who can be like Liang Shijun? Just what the emperor did can give people a glimpse of the grace and demeanor of Duke Liang, who was known as "the world's first competent minister".

And such a large-scale swallowing population has brought out another amazing thing. This Liang Zixi is really capable of Guan Zhong and Fan Li!

And there is a gap in food in the state. After all, the court has not given much money for years of military chaos and famine. Such an exponentially increased population will inevitably bring tremendous pressure on finances. But Binzhou was not stretched because of this, because Liang Shijun opened up two ways to make money.

One is coal.

The coal that was used only by households in the mountain villages has now become a heating material for every household in Bingzhou. After a year of exploration, three coal fields were opened, and Leping occupies one of them. There are countless coals transported from the mine every day. These are still small heads, and the greater profits are in Ruitan!

It comes from coal and looks like charcoal, but the smoke is thin, flameless and shiny. What's more rare is that the heat is amazing and will not go out for a long time. Once it was launched, it immediately became the favorite of high-ranking officials. However, this material manufacturing method is still confidential and cannot be explored by outsiders. As a result, the price of Swiss charcoal has also risen steadily, and it has become the largest commodity sold in the state.

And this charcoal needs to be equipped with a new furnace. The shape is different from that of the charcoal basin. Most of them are made of copper and iron. There is a gall in the furnace to prevent the burning of the charcoal from burning the furnace wall. At the same time, the charcoal stove is equipped with a flue, which can discharge charcoal poison. As long as it is used properly, it can avoid the sudden death of charcoal burning in winter.

Ruitan bought all the charcoal, but I don’t care about buying a few more charcoal stoves? In this way, it is another large sum of money. And this led to the second transaction, iron.

The Shangdang has produced iron since ancient times, and although the imperial government controls the mines, there are still an endless stream of iron merchants in private. But no one has ever produced such output like Liang Shijun!

Nowadays, the farm tools used in the land reclamation are all iron tools. With this alone, the efficiency has soared, and the number of reclaimed official fields more than doubled. Knives and swords are everything, even the arrows carried by Binzhou archers are more than three times those of others. The best-selling charcoal stove is said to be inexpensive.

The cloth business has also gradually improved. Originally, Jizhou and Yanzhou were big weavers. But after years of war and chaos, the scenery of the past has long since disappeared. In Bingzhou, the fleeing weavers were gathered and set up a weaving factory. In just a short time, the pattern and dyeing of cloth have made great progress, and it seems that the spinning loom has also changed. Nowadays, food is expensive and money is cheap. If it can weave silk twice as fast as others, how much money is it?

Just these few, it is a terrible number. What's more, Liang Mansion is also in charge of the trading of white porcelain, colored glaze, salt and so on. Therefore, even if the merged state swallows the refugees, they are not really tired. In troubled times, people are the root of everything. Just waiting for the harvest of the uncultivated fields, why worry about the county?

Listening to the line-by-line play, Wen Qiao was only convinced. Such a capable minister is his assistant! Looking at the Yanmen prefect Guo Xing, who was sitting on the side, Wen Qiao couldn't help showing a faint smile. It seems that what makes Jun want to reuse is not Guo Tong's line, but the other sparse family of Guo's family. It's a pity that Guo Tong put on a big air, but he couldn't see the current situation clearly. Is Binzhou still the way it used to be? The high gate was separated, and now he has the power of military force, money and food, and also the governor of Liang Shijun, who is the lord of this state!

Unfortunately, General Yi was separated by the court and went to Jizhou. Just look at how this year's Yumami battle will look like. Wen Qiao's body straightened even when he thought of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. High-spirited young man, who is unwilling to make contributions?

In accordance with the usual practice, the Yuanhui held an official banquet after congratulating it, and it ended in the evening. However, after the foreign official met, there was also the retainer Xiaohe.

"My boy, I wish my father good health and longevity!" Liang Rong raised his wine glass seriously to congratulate his father on his birthday.

Rao was tired for a day, Liang Feng also showed a smile: "Rong Er was also Antai when he was old."

Unlike the official banquet, all those who came were those who called themselves "Langzhu" or "Lord". Only this year, there are a few more.

"Zhichuan, the microscope from the workshop is of some use?" Liang Feng said to Ge Hong sideways.

Even if he is not very good at human relations, Ge Hong's eyes shined when he mentioned the microscope: "This mirror is really exquisite and can observe tiny things. I have observed a lot of vegetation bugs with Jin. Buddhist Sumeru mustard seeds In other words, I'm afraid it's true!"

Although Ge Hong has been by his side for a long time, it is still a recent thing to call him his lord. However, Liang Feng felt that what really moved Ge Hong was the establishment of good luck. This Taoist temple is different from Huai'en Temple. It is not so much a religious site as a research institution. Not only continued the research in the Shangdang Taoist view, but also brought the idea of ​​"three lives and all things" to the highest level.

Here, biology, chemistry, astronomy, physics, and even medical research will be carried out one after another. In fact, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, this was the peak of exploration and discovery. Coupled with the decline of Confucianism and the prosperity of Lao Zhuang, the study of "Tao" and nature has become more acceptable.

Liang Feng did not directly create schools, but blended them into religion. Taoist thought has a tendency to explore the world, so Taoists are keen on alchemy and want to use manpower to conquer the sky. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Taoist system has not yet been fully developed. What if the "Dao" is changed to a different face?

And Ge Hong is the most suitable candidate. An existence that opens the door to natural sciences.

This kind of thinking was something Ge Hong had never thought of. More importantly, he thought it was Buddhism that led the monarch to believe in Buddhism, but he was only interested in alchemy. Who would have thought that Liang Feng's positioning of the view of good fortune is completely different from that of Huai'en Temple. If you enter this way, you can also be an official!

Where is this Buddha? Obviously it's still important!

With the telescope and microscope, there are endless thoughts, and a new Taoism that represents the meaning of life and good fortune. Ge Hong finally lowered his head. What he asks can be realized by everyone in front of him. Whether it is saving the world, living people, or seeking the truth. If there is a master who knows this, what does the husband want?

And what if this person can ascend to a higher position?

Because of these ideas, Ge Hong is not even so resistant to Buddhism. And the confirmation of Sumeru must make him feel a little bit emotional. It turns out that the world's dharma is connected!

Seeing that Ge Hong was fascinated, he wanted to discuss it in detail. Duan Qin interrupted with a smile: "Microscope is the next best thing. This year, the Fuzhong has forged a hundred iron swords, which is even better!"

In this era, military industry is also an expression of military strength. The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu competed to make swords. Sun Quan ordered one thousand artificial knives, and Pu Yuan made five thousand knives for Liu Bei. By the Emperor Wu of this dynasty, it reached eight thousand. However, these swords are still in fifty or even seventy-two exercises. When it comes to "Hundred Refining", it is a good steel knife that cuts iron like mud. Therefore, Cao Cao has obtained five hundred-strength swords and can be recorded in the history.

And now, Liang Mansion has issued a hundred steel knives in one breath, but the number is an overwhelming victory. And above, the credit of hydraulic hammer forging and steel filling is indispensable.

After the giant waterwheel is used for blasting, grinding, and hammering, the function of wrought iron is added. Such simple mechanical energy greatly reduces manpower consumption and makes it possible to realize things that could not be done easily. Not to mention refining knives, even armor making has reached a new level. Nowadays, a breastplate can be made without a few craftsmen hammering it for half a month. The rough embryo can be made in one day! Although there is still some distance from the real plate armor, the time and cost are reduced too much.

The steel filling law is the product of the mixed use of small blast furnaces and coke. The original 100 refining method used hammer forging to eliminate impurities in refined iron. Time-consuming and labor-intensive, the output has never been able to increase. After having the blast furnace, the craftsmen of Liangfu began to experiment with the mixture of pig iron and wrought iron, and gradually touched a higher level of technique. Coupled with the introduction of urine quenching, the punched knives are both rigid and flexible, and their performance is even better than that of Bailian knives. This kind of sword is long and sharp. Liang Feng personally named it "Su Tie Dao".

In fact, technology is sometimes just a matter of stabbing a window paper. Liang Feng doesn't know much, but if he provides ideas, naturally there are able craftsmen to realize it for him.

Cui Ji also said: "The Shangdang has also made a lot of profits this year in both tea and salt. There is also a border trade. If the Tuoba Department defeats Wang Pengzu, there will be no shortage of horses and cattle this year."

The war between Tuoba Bu and Youzhou continued. But secretly, it is indispensable for Bingzhou to stir the wind and the water. Because Binzhou has gradually stabilized, it is also quite benevolent to the people, and the population near Daijun is moving to Binzhou. If the county is empty and Wang Jun does not hold on to the people, even if he wins, what can he do? What's more, he may not be able to win!

Zhang Bin yelled: "It is time for Youzhou to taste the suffering of the people's displacement. Now there is the court's help, and the main cause is more stable!"

What he said was naturally Yecheng. According to the news sent back by Yi Yan, the officials they secretly inserted had already controlled Yecheng's lifeline. Only wait for Yi Yanchun to dispatch troops to capture more cities, and then join the official guards. So unconsciously, within a year, soldiers and horses will be able to erode into Jizhou. Wouldn't it be more certain to fight Wang Jun after taking a few counties?

The word great cause is like a torch to lure butterflies, making it hard for everyone to hold on to it, and becoming more and more enthusiastic about it. This is only the first batch, and there will be the second batch, the third batch, and even countless civil and military forces to push him to a high position.

Looking at the cheerful faces, the pepper on the lips also showed a bit of bitterness. At this point, how can anyone retreat?

He seemed to hear the soft melody again, but when Liang Feng turned his head, he found that the figure that was always on his left hand had disappeared.

Probably to avoid suspicion, Yecheng didn't send anything except a few short messages. Or, that strong city is his gift of congratulations? But in previous years, what will he give away?

Liang Feng put down the wine glass, threw these unimportant things out of his mind, leaned on Pingji, and continued to listen to the conversation with a smile.
