Chapter 223 Thousand-character essay

It was very cold in the winter of the 34th year of Emperor First Emperor!

Just before the arrival of the middle of winter, a heavy rain that had not been seen in thirty years made the Sihong area enter winter ahead of schedule.

On October 7th, Sihong was still very warm at this time in previous years. However, this year, the sharp drop in temperature caught the residents of Sihong off guard.

In Pei County, Fengyi, Liu County, Nosang and other places, people were frozen to death one after another.

The sudden bad weather also made the Sishui County Magistrate Ying Zhuang in a panic. He was not in sufficient staff at the beginning, and this kind of thing happened even more helpless. He urgently dispatched a large number of officials from various counties to discuss how to solve this difficult problem.

Among the many problems, the most important one is the food problem.

Due to the heavy rain earlier, many farmers' homes were short of their homes. It was fine around Xiang County, but refugees began to appear along the Si Shui coast, including Xia Pi Pengcheng. Since ancient times, refugees have been a big problem. If they are not handled properly, it will inevitably turn into a huge disaster. Ying Zhuang had no choice but to report to Xianyang and requested the opening of the building storage to alleviate the crisis.

There are now more than 100 large warehouses and nearly 1,000 grain cellars.

According to the regulations of the Qin Dynasty, a ration cellar can store 3,000 stones of grain. If nearly a thousand grain cellars, that is almost three million stones of grain.

Of course, these grains are used as strategic reserve grains.

It also undertakes the grain hub of the East China Sea, Si Shui and Jiujiang counties.

Opening a warehouse and releasing grain is definitely a big deal. Even Ying Zhuang, a senior official with a salary of 2,000 s, dared not make a decision without authorization.

Fortunately, at this time, Lou Cang Order and Sishui Commander Liu Kan led his troops back to Lou Cang.

Since the building warehouse was first built, various natural factors were taken into account. The dense ditches successfully protected the safety of the building warehouse. At the same time, a heavy rain also put the emerging Sui Shui embankment to the test. Even though it was located in a low-lying area, it was not affected.

After hearing about the disaster in Xia Pi and other places, Liu Kan summoned his troops to open private warehouses to alleviate the disaster in Xia Pi.

At the same time, Lu Wen, Chen Yi and others who lived in Lou Cang purchased grain and grass from other places through their respective channels. Liu Kan also sent people to Sichuan urgently to ask for help from Jiangyang. On October 20, the southwestern Dian belonged to Baji, raised 100,000 stones of grain and grass, set out from Jiangyang, and headed towards Zhu County.

Whether it is Liu Kan’s private warehouse or Lu Wen and Chen Yi’s donation of grain.

Including the unreached Bashu grains and grass, it has greatly alleviated the disasters in the Sishui area.

By November 17, more than 80,000 victims in Pei, Nosang, Huling and Xiapi were properly resettled and returned to their hometowns. When Xianyang agreed to the imperial edict to open the building to store grain in Xiang County, the disaster had been fully controlled and there was no need to open the warehouse and release grain...

In this unexpected disaster, Loucang Town became the most dazzling pearl in the Sihong area.

Ying Zhuang once again submitted a memorial to Xianyang, asking for merit for Liu Kan and others.

Many people came to Liu Kan to congratulate him. For a moment, Loucang Town came and went, but it seemed particularly lively in the cold winter.

Liu Kan is very unhappy!

He sat in the hall of the government office and listened to Lu Shizhi's report.

The dark face is as gloomy as water, making people feel an inexplicable pressure.

"Brother-in-law, I have found out in Xia Pi that Zhang Liang did live there... His pseudonym was Han Liang, and he was not eye-catching on weekdays.

According to neighbors, Zhang Liang did not interact with others for most of the years in Xia Pi, but just studied. However, in August last year, Zhang Liang left Xia Pi and never went back. No one knew where he went."

"That means, can't find him?"

Liu Kan gently tapped the desk, his voice a little low.

Lu Shizhi said: "From the moment, it is indeed missing... But, brother-in-law, please rest assured. I have secretly arranged personnel to monitor in Xia Pi. Once clues appear, I can get the news immediately. But I don't understand why you value Zhang Liang so much? His layout in Pingyang is not very clever... It is not enough to make you pay so much attention to him."

How do you know that Zhang Liang will have a great reputation in the future?

Liu Kan muttered silently in his heart, thinking secretly: This time, Zhang Liang's plan was indeed not perfect. But wisdom was not born, nor could it be achieved by reading a few books. Zhang Liang in history really became famous when the Chu and Han Dynasty competed for hegemony.

Time, only time is the key to cultivating a strategist.

When this person has enough time and enough experience, he will definitely show amazing energy.

Not being smart now does not mean that it will not be smart in the future. Liu Kan subconsciously clenched his fists and gently beat the desk.

No matter how much time there is to fight for the Chu-Han supremacy, we must take action...

In the past, I didn't have this ability.

Now that Liu Kan has firmly taken up the position of Sishui Commander and has his own team in his hands, it is time to take the initiative.

"Little Pig, go find Mr. Kuai and say I have something important to do in the evening and I want to discuss it with him... Well, come here too!"

"Here!"

Lu Shizhi bowed his order and left the room.

Liu Kan picked up paper and pen from the desk, pondered for a while, and wrote quickly at the desk.

The letter was written to Baman.

The situation in Bashu is becoming increasingly clear.

After successfully regaining control of Bashu, the First Emperor generously gave Baman many privileges. Of course, these privileges are not the same as the privileges given to Qin Qing back then. But for Baman, it is enough to establish a force to fight against Qin Zhi.

The people of Shuzhong and Pakistan were divided into two factions.

Although Qin Zhi lost the support of the court, he had a lot of wealth. In addition, Qin Zhi had close ties with many indigenous Ba people, so he formed a vague force. Baman, with the power of the Ba people's business and the privileges given by the First Emperor, his career was also booming. However, Baman's main development direction was in Shu County. After all, Baji was in Shu County and could give her a lot of support.

Therefore, in the past, Bashu was divided into two parts with Jiangyang as the boundary.

With the help of Tang Li, Baman was not in a hurry to expand his power, but developed step by step.

Nowadays, Baman's main energy is to develop into the Moshui and Qingyi Water Basins. Moshui and Qingyi Water are both tributaries of the upstream of the river water, and the basin is mainly dominated by the Palestinians. According to Tang Li's plan, when Baman gains a foothold in the Liangshui River Basin, it penetrates into the upstream of the river water. In this way, Baman can completely stand firm in Shu County, and then slowly develop towards the southeastern Qiongdu Yelang Kingdom.

If you summarize it in one sentence, it is: first Bashu, then Yunnan and Guizhou!

Tang Li's plan was quite in line with Liu Kan's intention. Baman could not develop into Ba County, nor could he develop into Ba County.

What the First Emperor needed was a split and fighting Bashu, rather than a Bashu, which was dominant by one person.

However, if Bauman wants to develop, he has relatively shortage of resources. Especially talent, it is a big flaw of Bauman. Based on his fingers, Guan Jiji Cao Wushang was unable to help because he was carrying the government's identity. Zhang Cang is old and has the identity of a wanted criminal, so he is not suitable to come forward. As for Tang Like's strategy behind the scenes, there are not many people who actually handle it.

Jiang Yang followed Li Xing and recommended a few people to Baman. However, behind Li Xing, there was a huge family.

This person is a descendant of Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County, back then. Most of the people he recommended are from the Li family in Chengdu. If all of them are appointed, it will inevitably lead to a situation where the last is too big. Another faction of forces must come forward to restrict them in order to develop better.

Tang Li suggested that Liu Kan draw a few people from Lou Cang and go to Shu County to assist.

After some discussion, Liu Kan decided to send Zhou Chang ascetics to Shu County. In addition, Cheng Miao, who had already set out to help Shu County in helping make paper, in a short time, Baman did not need to worry about manpower. As for the future? Let's talk about it then!

"Father!"

A childish voice came from outside the door.

A five-year-old boy walked into the study.

"Peace, is there anything wrong?"

Seeing this boy, a smile immediately appeared on Liu Kan's face.

The boy is Liu Kan's son Liu Qin. Ping'an is Liu Qin's nickname. He is only five years old and is very smart and can read and read.

Patriot Lu mentioned to Liu Kan more than once that he wanted to find a teacher for Liu Qin.

But after Liu Kan returned to Lou Cang, she caught up with the disaster. She was busy dealing with various things and had no time to think about it.

Speaking of which, there are many people in Loucang Town who can read and write.

Whether it is Chen Ping, Cao Shen, or Kuai Che Anqi Jia Shao, and Liu Kan, they can teach Liu Qin.

But Lu Ge is not satisfied.

"Daozi is good at conspiracy and learns sinisterness; Kuai Che and Jia Shao are good at sophistry, so he is not a good teacher. Brother Cao is normal, but a few days ago, I found that he was teaching Ping An Lao Zhuang's skills... I'm not saying that Lao Zhuang's skills are not good, but Ping An is only five years old.

I think he should be taught some normal things, something suitable for his age.

Too profound knowledge is really not suitable for Ping An’s current age... Ah Kan, you should think of a way to see if you can find someone else?"

Ha, this is really hard for Liu Kan.

He is also very busy with official duties now, so how can he have time to think about these things?

Besides, the scholars he knew, except for Lou Cang, who were good at conspiracy and tricks, were mostly officials in the court.

Liu Qin walked to Liu Kan and said, "Father, grandma, let you go there."

"Now?"

Liu Qin nodded, "Also, my mother asked the child to ask you, when will you find a gentleman for the child?"

"oh……"

Liu Kan put down the pen, folded the official documents and put them away, and then picked up Liu Qin.

While walking, he said with a smile: "Ping An likes to read and read?"

"yes!"

Liu Qin scratched his head, but smiled shyly, "But I don't like what Uncle Daozi and the others taught me, it's so boring!"

Think about it, Cao Shen taught the Tao Te Ching, Chen Ping and Kuai Che and others taught the Yin Fu Jing, Shang Jun Shu... An Qi was better, but he taught the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. Even Liu Kan had a headache when he looked at these things, let alone a child who was only five years old.

"When my father is free, I will definitely compile a book that Ping An likes!"

Once you say it, you must do it.

But what did you teach Liu Qin?
To be continued...
