The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The servant's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little flustered, but he just walked forward as if he didn't hear it.

Liu Bei walked so fast that he had already caught up. When he got to this servant, he said again, "Let's take a step and please wait."

The subordinate had no choice but to stop, pretending that he just heard it, turned his head and said, "Is the general giving orders to the subordinate?"

When he turned his face, he saw that there was no doubt on Liu Bei's face, but a gentle smile, but he heard Liu Bei say, "I dare not say an 'order'. Liu Bei, the commander of the lower cavalry, is also, because he sees his arrogance and looks unbelievable. Ordinary people, so I take the liberty to ask to stay."

This subordinate was quite surprised, and thought to himself, "What do you mean? Listen to what he said, do you want to make friends with me?" After a few words of modesty, he said, "It turns out that he is General Liu."

Liu Bei said, "Is there a name for Wen Bei?"

The servant said: "The general is the clan of the Han family, and the favorite general of the chariots, so the prefect of Yingchuan has a great reputation, how can the servant not hear it!"

Before Liu Xie arrived in Yingchuan, the official appointment of the prefect of Yingchuan was granted to Chen Deng, plus officers such as Cavalry Commander and Zhonglang General. Currently, there are many appointments in Xu County. Liu Bei is not a particularly outstanding person among them. This has to be replaced by other ordinary minor officials. He may not have heard of Liu Bei's name, but this official is an official in Yang Biao's mansion. Not low, he was Xun Zhen's favorite general, and he had seen Liu Xie, so of course the official would not know it.

Liu Bei didn't expect that a small Baishi official knew his name, and was very happy, but the joy did not show, and he still looked polite and respectful, and said: "The reputation is far and wide, I don't dare to deserve it, but I step down. With a high-spirited attitude, he is by no means an ordinary person, so I dare to ask for the name of my step."

This servant has a ghost in his heart, how can he be willing to tell him his name? At this time, it was already judged that Liu Bei stopped him not because he saw through his actions, but almost nine times out of ten, it seemed that he really wanted to make friends with him, so he was sure in his heart, so he shied away and said: "My servant The poor name is not enough to defile the general's ears! The servant was just passing by and happened to be passing through this place. The servant still has official business, so I won't talk much with the general, and dare to retire." After speaking, without waiting for Liu Bei's answer, he strode back. Beside his own horse, he took the reins handed over by the little officer who led the way.

Looking at the official urging the horse to leave, Liu Bei stood on the side of the road under the scorching sun, rubbing his smooth chin.

Cheng Ding came to him, and seeing him like this, it was a little strange, he asked him, and said, "Ming Gong, what are you doing?"

Yang Biao's clerk had already traveled dozens of paces away on his horse, and the dust from the horse's hooves was blowing head-on with the hot wind.

Liu Bei took two steps to the side to get rid of the dust, and regretfully said to Cheng Ding: "When I was just mediating, I saw that this official looked very ordinary, and his bearing was different. I think he must be a famous person, so I just wanted to make a friend with him, but I didn't expect him to have official business, so he came and went in a hurry, and he didn't even ask for his name, so he rode away."

It turned out that Liu Bei asked the subordinate to stay, not because he saw through the behavior of the subordinate, but really wanted to make a friend with him.

However, he said that this subordinate official is only a hundred stone official, even if he is arrogant, it seems that Liu Bei does not need to be so condescending and take the initiative to make friends with him, right? It should be noted that, as Yang Biao's subordinate said, Liu Bei was both Xun Zhen's favorite general and the prefect of Yingchuan. Now he is the commander of the cavalry of Bi Erqianshi. He has also met Liu Xie and obtained Liu Xie In any respect, it can also be said that he has entered the upper class. Is it a bit too much to be so humble and respect others and make friends with a hundred stone petty officials?

It's a bit too much, but what if you don't just want to make friends with this servant of Yang Biao? That's not too much.

However, if there were only a hundred stone officials, Liu Bei would not be able to hand over in this way. The problem is that now Xu County is full of nobles, and the lower officials are already so tolerant, what kind of honorable identity will the upper officials be? ? It can be imagined.

Therefore, rather than saying that Liu Bei wanted to make friends with this servant, it was better to say that he wanted to know the leader of the servant through this servant.

——Xu County is now crowded with nobles, and Liu Bei has great ambitions, so of course he will not be idle and miss such a good opportunity, so he is very much looking forward to getting to know more dignitaries and befriending more celebrities at home and abroad. Aid to the DPRK, and at the same time promote its two purposes.

It's just a pity that although he sincerely asked for friendship, Yang Biao's official did not talk to him more because of his guilty conscience, and was unable to get acquainted with him.

Cheng Ding glanced at Yang Biao's subordinate officer who was far away, disapprovingly, and said, "I saw this subordinate officer just now. It's dark and frustrating, and his appearance is not amazing. How can he be handed over by the general!" He snorted and said , "But he didn't even tell Duke Ming his name? How dare you make such a big deal!"

Liu Bei said, "A-Ding, don't be rude! Today, Xu County, where the imperial court is located, gathers wise men from all over the world, even if it's a small official of a hundred stones, it shouldn't be taken lightly." Noticing that Cheng Ding didn't hear what he said, Nai said bitterly, and said to him, "A Ding, think about it, this official is only a hundred stone official, but since he can make use of a certain official in the court, then he is either a handsome man in a certain state, or He is the son of a certain prince and clan, so although he is the same as the Hundred Stones, he is not comparable to the Hundred Stones of the county! Ah Ding, do you understand me?"

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate can be a minister in the court

Even if it is a hundred stone officials, there must be a background, and it is obvious that they cannot be compared with the hundred stone officials of county temples and prefectures. Cheng Ding understood what Liu Bei meant, so he put aside his disdainful attitude and replied: "Ming Gong's intention, Ding knows all about it."

"It's good to understand. Let's go, let's look elsewhere."

Liu Bei was reluctant to part with it again, and with a pity he glanced at the figure of Yang Biao's servant who had long since left, and continued to patrol other places with Cheng Ding and the servant.

...

Liu Bei was patrolling, and Xun Zhen was also patrolling.

However, Xun Zhen was not in the south of the city, but in the west.

Xun Zhen's inspection was not to maintain law and order. He was inspecting the allocation of the land and the resettlement of the soldiers and civilians.

Chen Deng and Zaozhi walked on the side.

The work of purchasing the land has been going on for three or four days now. During this period, although Chen Deng captured the tyrants, and the conflict and disputes between the soldiers and the local villagers were handled by Liu Bei, it also happened. There were three or four cases, but in general, there was the support of Chen Ji and other local gentry leaders in Xu County, and the capable officials like Chen Deng acted resolutely, and Chen Deng had made sufficient preparations in advance. After having a clear picture of the arable land in Xu County, and the money used to purchase the land, Xun Zhen also prepared adequately, and the work progressed quite smoothly.

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

When it comes to the money for the purchase of the land, the court is very poor, and the court will definitely not be able to pay this money, so this money is mainly from Xun Zhen.

However, this money was not transferred from Xuzhou and Yanzhou prefectures, but was seized by Xun Zhen during the Battle of King Qin.

Although the court was poor, Li Jue and Guo Si were not poor.

Li Jue, Guo Si and others have been in charge of the imperial court for three or four years, not to mention the goods that Li Jue and Guo Si plundered from the people in the past three or four years, but only to say that after the capture of Chang'an, they took back what Dong Zhuo had plundered before. Those treasures are too numerous to count. In the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo built a dock in Ji, seven zhang high and three or four li around. It was called Wansui Dock, where treasures were widely gathered, and the grains were stored for thirty years. You can imagine how much food there must be! After Dong Zhuo's death, the Wansui Dock was destroyed, and the wealth in it was taken by the imperial court, but after Li Jue and Guo Si invaded Chang'an, the imperial power was under their control, and most of the things in the Wansui Dock were recaptured by them.

During the battle of Hongmenting, Xun Zhen and Sun Ce's troops seized the luggage, piled up like a mountain; after that, Xun Zhen's army went to Chang'an, and when Li Jue and Guo Si fled, although they took a lot of money and food, they left more. , Xun Zhen's harvest is even richer.

All in all, Xun Zhen not only gained great merit and fame this time, but also gained a lot of practical benefits.

Of these captures, Xun Zhen took out a few and dedicated them to the court, and most of them were kept by himself.

Some ministers in the DPRK, such as Yang Biao, Dong Cheng, etc., were dissatisfied with Xun Zhen.

There is one reason for this, but although they are dissatisfied, this matter cannot be used to criticize Xun Zhen, because Xun Zhen left these treasures, and the reason for leaving the treasures and weapons is fair and honest. The tens of thousands of Qin Wang's teachers under Sun Ce's hands won this battle with hard work, don't they need a reward? Are there no daily expenses after the reward is over?

Thinking about being able to let the horses run and not to graze, and Xun Zhen didn't detain all the seizures, he still gave a lot of it to the court, to those who had studied abroad, and to Liu Xie's. That part is the essence of what has been captured. It is a high-quality treasure, and it is loyal to Liu Xie. First, the performance is sufficient. In fact, when Xun Zhen wanted to present those rare treasures to Liu Xie, several of the profit sources under his account had different opinions, and some felt it was a pity, but Xun Zhen didn't take the suggestion that they are leaving part for studying abroad at all, but insisted on her own opinion and dedicated all these rare treasures to Liu Xie.

Afterwards, the state discussed with the Li members who persuaded Xun Zhen in private, saying that Qing and others did not know, that Ming Gong’s ambitions were also worthless in the eyes of Qing and others. Once the two are less than two, a piece of cloth is once two, the treasure is rare, the treasure is rare, can you wear it? Can you eat? Taking a step back, if you sell it, how many people can afford it, and how much can you sell it for? It is not practical at all, it is better to dedicate it to Liu Xiebo as a center.

Guo Jia's words can be said to really understand Xun Zhen's meaning.

Xun Zhen never cared about the so-called rare treasures. This can actually be seen from his attitude towards the pair of jade pieces that Cai Mao presented to him. The day after receiving the pair of jade jades presented by Cai Mao, Xun Zhen gave it to the brothers Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, and did not take the pair of priceless treasures seriously at all. These and need not say more.

Since the seizure is extremely abundant, then the purchase of land for the farm this time is naturally full of confidence, and the prepared money is sufficient.

In front of the place where everyone stood on the edge of the road, there was a large piece of land purchased by Chen Deng, which had already been connected into a piece, and had been handed over to Zaozhi yesterday. There are nearly 20,000 acres. There will be five colonies, that is, 500 soldiers and people in the colony. On average, each soldier and civilian in the colony is responsible for 40 acres of land.

The housing complex for the five hundred soldiers and civilians in the field has just begun to be built.

The house community is divided into five places, which are distributed on this vast field. Standing on the side of the road, you can see from a distance that these five hundred field soldiers and civilians.

Some of them are under construction; the autumn harvest is over, and there are still wheat stubble in the fields, while the rest of the soldiers and people in the fields are scattered in the fields, sweating like rain to clear the wheat stubble under the scorching sun. Xu County is located between the two waters. In the past, the chief officials of Yingchuan County and Xu County built a lot of canals to irrigate farmland. In the field in front of them, there are two or three long or short. The canals run through. Occasionally, soldiers and civilians in the fields would go to the canal with their shirtless, or scoop up water to sweat, or drink two sips of water from the canal.

When Xun Zhen looked at him for a long time, he said, "Yuanlong, it only took you three or four days to set up the first piece of farmland. You've worked hard!" He asked him and said, "The rest of the farmland is still available. How long will it take to buy everything and transfer it to Tuntian?"

The first two "Tuntian land" refers to the "Tuntian" measures, and the latter one "transferred to the "Tuntian" is the representative name of the general of the Tuentian. Zaozhi was a new official appointed by the imperial court, and his official name was Tun Tian Zhonglang.

The commander of the military residence, Shi Yuansui, who was also beside him, took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it, and presented it to Xun Zhen and Chen Deng.

On this piece of paper, the cultivated land around Xu County is drawn.

In the middle is Xuxian county seat. On the four sides of Xuxian county seat, there are more than ten squares, large or small. Each box is a site for a farm. The place where Xun Zhen and others are located is exactly the position of a box on the west side of Xuxian County in the picture.

Chen Deng already knew what he had in mind, and he didn't have to think about it. He answered Xun Zhen and said, "Ming Gong, at the current rate of progress, at most one month, all the land for the farmland will be able to be acquired."

"One month..." Xun Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, if all the purchases can be completed within one month and allocated to the farmland, then this year's winter wheat can be planted as scheduled, and it will not be delayed!" Xun Zhen reminded Chen Deng about Chen Deng's arrest of the tyrant, and said, "Yuanlong, the fact that you took that tyrant who resisted the settlement the day before yesterday caused a little commotion in the court. Junchang told me that there were a few This courtier wants to write a letter to impeach you. You don’t need to care about impeachment, I will suppress you, and I will act as a man, as you are, dare to act and take responsibility, but in the next acquisition If you can convince people with reason and people with virtue, you'd better dress them up and convince them with virtue. The sage and the imperial court are both in Xu County, so don't make any big incidents out of control."

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Ming Gong rest assured, Deng knows."

Xun Zhen was really relieved about Chen Deng's ability and judgment. After reminding him a little, he didn't say more. Consultant Zao Zhi smiled and said, "If Yuan Long can not delay the cultivation of wheat fields this winter, I will Let me ask you, how much food can you give me in the summer and autumn next year?"

Zaozhen is a person who tries his best to do his duty. In recent years, he was in charge of the Minton in Xuzhou, and then he also led the Minton in Yanzhou, and he ran to the fields. The prolonged exposure to the wind and the sun has made his skin rough, making him look like an old farmer. He is now very experienced in the field affairs. He is from Yangzhai, and Yingchuan is his hometown. He also knows the fertility of the land in Yingchuan like the back of his hand. At the beginning, but he already has an estimate for the harvest next year.

He answered Xun Zhen calmly, and said, "As long as there is no shortage of labor, grain, cattle, farm implements, etc., and as long as the pre-determined nearly 20,000 hectares of land are quite a lot, by next summer, we will be able to harvest grain for Duke Ming. Wanshi."

Zaozhi is a down-to-earth and capable person. Xunzhen has long known his nature. He knows that he never brags or speaks big words. Now that he promises to get a million stone of grain, as long as the preconditions he put forward are met~www.wuxiaspot.com ~The fields, labor, materials, etc. are all ready. When the harvest is next summer, he will definitely be able to harvest millions of stones for Xun Zhen.

When Xun Zhen heard this, she was very happy and said with a smile: "Millions of stone grain! If we can get grain like this, it will not only be the army grain needed by our troops stationed in Yingchuan County, but we will no longer need to transport it from other counties and counties. Only one Xuxian colony is enough to supply, and if there are 30,000 to 40,000 troops, it will be enough."

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Yes, Duke Ming!"

According to the different types of arms and tasks performed in peacetime, a soldier's rations range from one stone to more than two stones per month. Taking two stones as an average, one million stone is enough for 50,000 soldiers to eat for a year. This "enough for fifty thousand soldiers" refers to non-wartime. Wartime is different. In wartime, you need to take into account the consumption during transportation, the need for soldiers to eat more during rapid marches and before the war, and the consumption of civilians. The food is also enough for at least 30,000 soldiers for a year.

Today, the entire Yingchuan County garrison is only 10,000 people on foot and cavalry, and it is indeed more than enough to supply it.

Xun Zhen already had a plan. After the grain harvested in the field next year, if he could get a million stone of grain as promised by Zaozhi, then next, he would recruit troops in Yingchuan, Runan and other places.

While everyone was talking, there were two chariots on the official road, coming from the west in the guards of more than ten horsemen and soldiers.

Look at the direction they are traveling, they are heading for the Xuxian county seat or the court of Liu Xiehe in the east of the county.

Xun Zhen stopped talking and took a few glances.

Without waiting for Xun Zhen's orders, a clever officer galloped over and asked about the origin of this group of carriages and horses.

After a while, he turned back from the official and reported to Xunzhen: "Ming Gong, is a high-ranking official in Hedong County."
