Liangzhou, outside Mianyang County, Hanzhong County.
On a crisp autumn day, a chariot was walking along the long official road.
Judging from the simple layout of this chariot, at first glance, it may seem like a chariot that an ordinary family can ride on.
But if those who are interested will observe carefully, they will know that such a chariot is definitely not something ordinary people can own.
Because guarding the chariot were teams of well-armored elite soldiers.
Hundreds of strong and sturdy soldiers, led by their commanders, dutifully guarded the chariot in the middle of their formation.
Although there were not many people visible on the official road, the hundreds of elites still did not relax their spirits. They used their own eyes to observe the surroundings vigilantly.
With these hundreds of elite soldiers on high alert, if there is any abnormality around them, they may not be able to escape their eyes.
They were so careful only because the person sitting on the chariot was Mu Mi Yang of Liangzhou, whom they devoted their lives to.
In addition to Mi Yang, the people sitting on the chariot were also Fa Miao, who was taken out of Nanzheng to inspect the place this time.
The cool autumn wind blew through the chariot, making Mi Yang feel very comfortable on the chariot.
Especially after the autumn wind blows, it also brings with it waves of tempting wheat fragrance, which makes Mi Yang feel quite comfortable.
Looking at the endless wheat fields below the official road and the plump ears of wheat that were about to fall, Mi Yang smiled and said to Fa Miao beside him:
"That's the big man's hope."
While saying this, Mi Yang pointed to the wheat field below.
Fa Miao felt a little surprised when he heard Mi Yang's words.
Farmers are the foundation of the country.
It's just that in today's world where heroes are worshiped, many people will subconsciously ignore this point, thus embodying some heroes as the support and hope of a certain force.
Just like Guan Yu was to the Han Dynasty back then, it is also like Mi Yang is to Liangzhou now.
However, under this universal concept, Mi Yang was the first to point out that the hope of the Han Dynasty is not a group of heroes including himself, but the individual ears of wheat.
This was the first time Fa Miao heard this statement, so he felt a little surprised.
Just think about it carefully, although the world is an era where famous generals emerge in large numbers.
But without strong logistical support, those famous generals may not be able to achieve stunning victories.
From this point of view, what Mi Yang said makes sense.
After understanding the meaning of Mi Yang's words, Fa Miao nodded to Mi Yang and said, "What Uncle Mu said makes sense."
Perhaps at this moment, Fa Miao truly understood why Mi Yang insisted on ruthlessly attacking those wealthy families in Liangzhou.
If this were not the case, even though he and Mi Yang now had thousands of acres of fertile land at their feet, with a combined cost of more than ten thousand shi, how many percent of it would actually be handed over to the government in the end?
Thinking about the shocking data he had seen in the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, Fa Miao secretly came to an inference in his mind - it was probably less than 30%.
The national power of the Han Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Ni Wei, and the internal grain harvest is seriously short of it. If this continues, what national power will the Han have to compete with the Ni Wei?
In the past few years, the Han Dynasty has achieved several great victories, but it has never been able to expand its results in one go. The root cause lies here.
After thinking about this, Fa Miao couldn't help but remind Mi Yang: "Since Uncle Mu has such thoughtful thoughts, why don't you report it to Your Majesty?"
Seeing Fa Miao asking this about herself, Mi Yang smiled lightly.
Mi Yang knew why Fa Miao reminded him of this. The reason was nothing more than an edict sent from Chengdu before.
Mi Yang and Fa Miao had left Nanzheng for some time.
During this time, an edict was sent to him from Chengdu.
The content of the edict was to ask Mi Yang to postpone the launch of the New Deal in Liangzhou.
In addition, although Fa Miao is not in Chengdu, as the son of Fa Zheng, his connections in Chengdu are not weak.
In the past few days, he had received a lot of unfavorable news about Mi Yang.
With these two factors, Fa Miao was filled with worries.
Not only Fa Miao, but also Mi Yang's subordinates in Nanzheng had memorials sent to Mi Yang one after another during this period.
Most of those memorials reminded Mi Yang to be prepared for what happened in Chengdu. Meng Da even suggested that Mi Yang should return to Chengdu to plead his case in person.
Well, the kind that leads troops.
Of course, Fa Miao would not be like Meng Da, the second- and fifth-year-old boy, who had some suggestions that transcended the boundaries of people and ministers, but he still did not understand Mi Yang's inaction.
While the whole of Liangzhou was making suggestions for Mi Yang due to the turmoil in Chengdu, Mi Yang, the person involved, did not take any action at all. He did not even write a petition to defend himself.
So now that he knew that Mi Yang's original intention was like this, Fa Miao felt even more that Mi Yang should write a letter to inform Liu Bei of his original intention, so that Liu Bei might not have doubts about him.
After all, three people make a tiger. Even if Liu Bei favored Mi Yang in the past and listened to too many slanders, it is normal for his inner thoughts to change.
Facing Fa Miao's confusion, Mi Yang still didn't care.
He knew what backup plan he had left before leaving Chengdu.
Just because he has never used that trump card doesn't mean he doesn't have it in his hands.
Moreover, Mi Yang thought that she still understood Liu Bei.
Let’s not talk about whether Liu Bei would have doubts about him because of the slander. Even though this incident happened, given Liu Bei’s character, the edict he issued must have been for him to return to Chengdu to report on his duties.
His current identity is not a general, but a state pastor who can seize control of one side at any time. How could Liu Bei still allow himself to take power when he had doubts in his heart?
Therefore, in the eyes of others, the edict sent by Liu Bei to Liangzhou sent him a dangerous signal, but in Mi Yang's view, it was exactly the opposite.
That edict was sent by Liu Bei to appease him.
The new policy should be stopped for a while and wait until his uncle has finished taking care of those people before moving on. This is what Liu Bei's edict wanted to tell him.
With the above inferences and reliance in mind, Mi Yang would of course adopt a static approach.
Mi Yang did not answer Fa Miao's question. He just asked Fa Miao: "How is the population and land inventory of the counties near Mianyang?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The reason why Mi Yang regards Mianyang as an important place for inspection is because in Hanzhong County, Mianyang was the place where the Liangzhou aristocratic families gathered the most power.
Mi Yang knew that under his large-scale clean-up measures, the turmoil in Mianyang would definitely be the most serious.
In addition to this reason, Mianyang and several surrounding counties are the large granary of Liangzhou.
Everyone knows that Chengdu is a land of abundance, but in fact, Hanzhong has always been known as the "National Treasure of Heaven".
Because there is a basin and plain area in Hanzhong County that is very suitable for the growth of crops.
This area mainly consists of several nearby counties centered on Mianyang.
Therefore, it was necessary for him to come to Mianyang in person and use his prestige to ensure the smooth implementation of the New Deal in Mianyang.
As long as the new policies in Mianyang and nearby counties can be implemented smoothly, the entire Liangzhou will gradually settle down.
Under Mi Yang's inquiry, Fa Miao recalled some data in his mind and replied: "In at most half a month, the population and acres of land in the counties near Mianyang will be thoroughly investigated."
After hearing Fa Miao's assurance, Mi Yang nodded with confidence.
Half a month's time can ensure that the sowing of winter wheat will not be delayed. It is expected that it will be enough for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to roughly calm down the turmoil in Chengdu.
But not long after this idea emerged in Mi Yang's mind, not far from Mi Yang's chariot, a messenger was quickly heading towards his location.
Before the cavalry messenger could get close, he was stopped by the scouts led by Ding Feng himself.
Ding Feng knew that there were many remaining aristocratic families in Mianyang County who wanted to harm Mi Yang, so he had been very concerned about Mi Yang's security work recently.
After stopping the courier, Ding Feng checked the identity of the courier with suspicious eyes.
However, when the messenger presented the token to prove his identity and showed Ding Feng the urgent red-feather letter, Ding Feng's suspicious eyes disappeared in an instant.
There was a look of shock in his eyes.
Covered with red feathers, it means that this document from Chengdu records very important news.
According to Han law, blocking such news was a capital offense.
So Ding Feng immediately led the messenger to Mi Yang's chariot.
When Mi Yang saw Ding Feng rushing to his chariot with a messenger, he was a little surprised at first.
But when he saw the red-feathered document in the messenger's hand, his face immediately became cautious.
Something big happened in Chengdu!
He immediately asked Ding Feng to deliver the document to his hands.
After receiving the document, Mi Yang unfolded the document in his hand and read it under the gaze of Fa Miao and Ding Feng.
Mi Yang read the document very quickly, and he finished reading the contents in a short time.
After reading the contents of the document, Mi Yang subconsciously covered the document to her chest, and then burst into tears.
Mi Yang's sudden behavior shocked Fa Miao and Ding Feng.
What kind of big event is it that can make Mi Yang cry bitterly?
Fa Miao immediately asked Mi Yang what happened in Chengdu.
Under Fa Miao's questioning, Mi Yang cried and told Fa Miao what happened in Chengdu recently.
After listening to this, Fa Miao and Ding Feng understood why Mi Yang was so sad.
Mi Zhu passed away.
Although Mi Zhu is Mi Yang's uncle, Mi Yang has grown up with Mi Zhu since he was a child. It can be said that the two of them are like father and son.
So how could Mi Zhu's death not make Mi Yang feel sad and unable to control himself?
In addition to this news, what happened at the Chengdu court shocked Fa Miao and Ding Feng even more.
Because of Mi Zhu's efforts to turn the tide at the Great Court Meeting, most of the Yizhou families were imprisoned.
This major event will definitely have a severe impact on today's Han Dynasty.
Of course, for now, the biggest impact of this major incident on Liangzhou is that Mi Yang will no longer have any constraints on the implementation of the New Deal.
Thinking of this, even though Fa Miao understood Mi Yang's current mood very well, he still gave Mi Yang advice:
"Family love is the most important thing in human relations. Uncle Shepherd is extremely sad because of Sikong's death. I feel the same for you."
When Fa Miao learned that Fa Zheng had passed away, his performance was not much better than Mi Yang's.
"It's just that the shepherd is responsible for Liangzhou, how can he forget his official duties out of sorrow!
Situ's last words before his death were that he hoped that Uncle Mu would not abandon his father's duties due to his death.
If you can prevent Situ's soul from feeling any regrets in heaven, then this is true filial piety."
After finishing speaking, Fa Miao bowed to Mi Yang again and again, hoping that Mi Yang would listen to his advice.
Ding Feng, who was under the carriage, obviously did not have as good an eloquence as Fa Miao, so he could only worship with Fa Miao, hoping that Mi Yang could temporarily put aside his grief.
Mi Yang heard Fa Miao's advice while weeping, but he did not stop crying immediately as Fa Miao wished.
Mi Yang has feelings for Mi Zhu, even though he doesn't get along with Mi Zhu much after time travel, but every time they get along, Mi Zhu's love for him is beyond words.
Especially when Mi Yang knew from the document that Mi Zhu died because he exhausted all his energy to protect him, this made Mi Yang's heart full of sadness.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect!
In grief, Mi Yang no longer felt like continuing the tour.
He immediately ordered Ding Feng to lead his own troops to escort him back to the military camp outside Mianyang County.
Mi Yang did not stay in Mianyang County after arriving in Mianyang. For safety, he led his army to camp outside Mianyang County.
Under Mi Yang's order, Ding Feng immediately commanded his men to escort Mi Yang back to the military camp.
After returning to the military camp, Mi Yangping retreated from the others and locked himself in the sleeping tent alone.
Soon after, the news that Fa Miao and others learned slowly spread throughout the military camp.
And when many generals learned that Mi Yang was so grieved because of Mi Zhu's death that he locked himself up in his sleeping tent alone, they all involuntarily came outside Mi Yang's sleeping tent to observe the situation.
When they arrived outside Mi Yang's sleeping tent, they heard wailing sounds coming from inside Mi Yang's sleeping tent from time to time, which made them all anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Excessive grief has a huge impact on the body in this life.
But even though they were all anxious, one thought came to their minds:
"Zhou Mu is the most filial person!"
As time goes by, it has entered the night.
But at this time when most people were already sleeping peacefully, Mi Yang still didn't rest.
With his eyes red and swollen, he was pacing back and forth holding the document tightly in his hand.
The dim yellow candlelight swayed from side to side, highlighting Mi Yang's face that was gloomy and unclear.
Thinking of what Zhuge Liang had told him in the document, Mi Yang's brain was racing rapidly.
After returning to the camp today, he locked himself in his sleeping tent. On the one hand, it was because Mi Zhu's death really made him very sad.
On the other hand, there is a confidential matter that requires him to be alone and think carefully.
The document he received was covered with red feathers, which often represented important military information.
Mi Zhu's death and the events at the court meeting were not enough for Zhuge Liang to use this method of communication.
In fact, when Fa Miao asked Mi Yang about the contents of the document today, Mi Yang did not tell the most important point.
The most important point in the document is what Zhuge Liang said:
"South China has been in turmoil for a long time, and now our country is in turmoil. South China will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
Once they jump into trouble and cause chaos, I will personally go to suppress them. Zi Sheng has always been wise and wise, can he give me a clever plan?"
Zhuge Liang is going to attack Nanzhong. If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) The Mi Han Novel Search Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
