Chapter 299 Changes in Luoyang
August 29, the first year of Zhaoning (189 AD).
Qingzhou.Linfeng.
In late autumn, the yellow leaves on the branches were blown away by the autumn wind all night, and the ground was covered with a golden carpet.
After nearly half a year of rest and recuperation, the spring wheat in the areas occupied by Taoying in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou has been harvested, greatly alleviating the food crisis of the military and civilians occupying the area.
And in the past six months, just like the original history, Emperor Ling of Han passed away.
Jian Shuo did not push the nine-year-old "Dong Hou" Liu Xie to the throne as Emperor Ling wished, but he was killed by General He Jin.
Three days ago, a coup occurred in Luoyang, and the He family did not escape the fate of being slaughtered by eunuchs. He Jin, He Miao and He Xian died one after another.
The Sili Captain Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Wei worked together to eliminate Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, and commanded the soldiers to successfully invade the palace to massacre eunuchs. Da Changqiu Zhao Zhong, Sun Zhang and others were killed.
The General Yuan Shu of the Hu Ben, Huan Dian, the General Yuan of the Yulin, Wu Kuang, and others led the Nangong Guards into Nangong, burned the Nine Dragon Gate and the East and West Palaces, and forced the Ten Generals to give up the palace and flee.
The ten-time attendants Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others held the young emperor Liu Bian hostage, and the Chenliu King Liu Xie fled to Beimang Mountain.
...
Tao Ying, who was secretly relieved about what happened in Luoyang and received news from Deng Zhan, did not cause much trouble in his heart, and still led a "sized" team to patrol his territory.
"The harvest is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated!"
Looking at the figures of the people busy in the fields, Tao Ying's face was filled with unconcealed intoxication and complacent, and he exuded a sincere admiration.
Although there was no mooncake in the first Mid-Autumn Festival that the Han Dynasty had, and there was a hint of regret, Tao Ying was still as happy as a wave.
Tao Ying didn't seem to feel tired at all, and even enjoyed such a long-term trip.
"Yes, Qingzhou has a great harvest, and Ziqi has made an indelible contribution!"
Bu Zhi, who was standing behind Tao Ying, smiled and glanced at his friend beside him. Wei Jing, the governor of Qingzhou, followed Tao Ying's praise and echoed.
"Compared with Qingzhou, Xuzhou's harvest is not very good. It's because he didn't do it well, and he is ashamed of his trust in the lord!"
After praising Wei Jing, Bu Zhi's face became a little dull.
Putting aside Qingzhou, Xuzhou's harvest this year is not as good as that of Yanzhou and Jizhou counties, and it ranks at the bottom of the territory that Tao should occupy.
Of course, the counties of Youzhou occupied by Zhao Yun and Tian Yu are not included.
"Zi Shan praised it!"
Hearing Bu Zhi's praise and review, Wei Jing quickly glanced at Tao Ying's back with his hands behind his back and immediately promoted his achievements.
"The reason why Qingzhou has a great harvest is the result of the lord, Yuanlong, Zishan and other colleagues. Wei Jing will never dare to be greedy!"
Although he also worked hard for the spring farming of Qingzhou, Wei Jing knew very well that if Tao Ying had not had a series of people-friendly policies and without the early foundation laying of Chen Deng, Bu Zhi and others, he would have been hastily appointed "Qingzhou".
The governor may not be as good as Chen Deng, Bu Zhi and Xi Zhicai.
"Ziqi is too humble!"
Seeing Wei Jing mentioning him, Chen Deng looked at Wei Jing with a solemn expression without any artificial smile, and did not explain much. He understood Tao Ying.
"Ziqi is indeed a great contribution, and it also proves that Zishan, you, your wise man, knows gold with a wise eye!"
Tao Ying turned around and glanced at Chen Deng, Xi Zhicai, Wei Jing and others standing behind him, and finally stopped his eyes on Bu Zhi, with a satisfied look on his face.
"The spring farming in Xuzhou is too hasty and the water conservancy has not been repaired. I am very satisfied with the current harvest. Thank you for your hard work in Zishan!"
Tao Ying was worried that Bu Zhi would feel guilty, so he patted his shoulder to show comfort.
"Master..."
Bu Zhi was stunningly stuttered, looking at Tao Ying with a warm face, with crystal clear and grateful in his dark eyes.
Tao Yingti Buzhi recommended Wei Jing not only to express that he did not forget this contribution, but also to remind Wei Jing not to forget the well digger when he drank water. This concession was heartwarming.
"Only such a lord is worthy of my loyalty!"
"Only with such a lord, the Han people have hope!"
"Only such a lord is worthy of enjoying the world!"
Chen Deng, Xi Zhicai, and Wei Jing were in the same mood as Bu Zhi at this time, staring at Tao Ying, and his eyes were full of fanaticism and longing.
The young lord in front of them is their faith and hope in this troubled times.
Tao Ying not only supports literature and martial arts, but also has a far-sighted vision, but the key is that he is very humane.
Chen Deng, Xi Zhicai and others felt that even if Tao Ying was not around, Tao Ying could lay the foundation in front of him. Tao Ying was not relying on them, but they boarded Tao Ying's ride-sharing.

"However, Qingzhou will have a great harvest this year. In addition to the improvement of agricultural tools, we have to thank our coach Zhao Zilong who is far away in Youzhou!"
After leaving Jizhou, Tao Ying hasn't seen Zhao Yun in nearly a year. If Youzhou wasn't too far away and was still paying attention to the changes in Luoyang's current situation, Tao Ying would have wanted to go to Youzhou in person.
"If Zilong had not been for Qingzhou, Yanzhou would have transported a large number of oxen, there would have been no high yield such as twelve stones per mu!"
In this era, due to various reasons, the yield per mu was very low. Generally, the field produces three stones of millet, which is equivalent to about 280 kilograms, and the wheat is only about 150 kilograms. If it reaches ten kilograms, it is already a high-yield field.
/p>
"What the lord says is true!"
Chen Deng met Zhao Yun when he was in Jizhou. At this time, he heard Tao Ying mention Zhao Yun and sincerely exclaimed.
"Although Zhao Zilong is a military general, he is in and out of the crowd, and he is alone and has no way to move forward; but he is clear and determined in his opinion, he is committed to being a senior and mature person, and has the function of a Confucian minister. If he is not a wise eye of a lord, he is afraid that the pearl will be covered with dust!"
Zhao Yun, who was born in a poor family, was only twenty-two or three years old. If he had not met someone like Tao Ying who was "willful" in employing people, even if Zhao Yun was heroic, he would not have been able to use his skills so early.
Xi Zhicai, Bu Zhi, and Wei Jing all looked at Chen Deng thoughtfully, nodding. They had never seen Zhao Yun before. When they heard Chen Deng praise him, they knew that they were hinting that they should pay attention to Zhao Yun.
/p>
Of course, even if Chen Deng doesn't suggest that he will never underestimate Zhao Yun with the wisdom of Xi Zhicai.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhao Yun was a young man who served as the commander of the Youzhou Corps and commanded the elite 40,000 Xuanjia Army soldiers, and was not an ordinary person.
However, since Chen Deng, who talks less, will have more words, Xi Zhicai, Bu Zhi, and Wei Jing have a little more enlightenment.
"Zhao Yun is probably more respected than Yan Liang, Ji Ling, Lu Dai, and Xu Sheng!"
Chen Deng, Xi Zhicai and the other four were thinking about what Tao Ying would not pay attention to. At this time, looking at the people working sweating profusely in the farmland, from their joyful smiles, we knew that they were very satisfied with the autumn harvest.
"Water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture and the lifeblood of the entire society. Winter wheat will be planted in more than a month. During this period, the four must urge counties to mobilize the people to repair farmland water conservancy to cope with the possible drought next year!
”
The Three Kingdoms entered the Little Ice Age at the end of the Han Dynasty, with less rain and more drought, and the importance of farmland water conservancy became even more prominent.
"At the same time, all states must require all farmers to raise ducks, with no less than ten land per mu; each county must have a centralized large-scale breeding farm, arrange for disabled people and manage retired soldiers."
Chen Deng, Bu Zhi, Xi Zhicai, and Wei Jing looked at each other, all looking at Tao Ying with suspicion, wanting to know the intention behind Tao Ying.
" Raising ducks can not only eat meat, eggs, duck feathers can be used to make cotton coats and quilts, ducks can also prevent locust plagues!"
As a "prophet", Tao Ying was very clear about the harm of locusts during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.
From the first year of Xingping to the second year of Jian'an, there were locusts every year for four consecutive years.
The locust plague can be said to be linked to the cold period and related catastrophes in the late Han Dynasty and the three kingdoms.
At least fifteen major famines occurred in the late Han Dynasty within a hundred years, and almost all the shadows of locust plagues were found.
In the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Emperor Xian of Han survived with difficulty. All officials and harems even ate dates and vegetables to make a living. Yuan Shao's army in Hebei ate mulberries, and Yuan Shu's army in Jianghuai ate push.
Even these people have a hard time living, and the people who cannot survive can only perform a tragedy of "eating with each other".
"Hao tread..."
Chen Deng, Bu Zhi and others were looking at Tao Ying incredibly, wanting to know if the ducks were really controlling locusts. A burst of rapid horse hooves called the nerves of several people, and they all looked at each other.
p>
The Luoyang coup just happened. Although Tao Ying seemed to be not paying much attention, Chen Deng, Xi Zhicai, and Bu Zhi had to pay attention to the progress of the situation.
After this interruption, the four people also suppressed the ducks' control of locusts, and Tao Ying's intention was fulfilled.
"Xilulu..."
Deng Zhan, who was galloping, had a dozen steps away from Tao Ying and others to control the horse. Dian Wei, who was guarding not far away, stopped the horse, and rushed up, grabbed the horse's bridle, but was blocked.
The war horse man stood up and roared unhappy to the sky.
"Lord, news from Luoyang!"
The moment the war horseman stood up, Deng Zhan pressed his horse's head with both hands, rose up with the horse's power, stepped on the horse's back with his feet, and jumped in front of Tao Ying.
"The emperor and King Chenliu have been welcomed back to the palace by Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou. The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei dismissed Sikong Liu Hong on the grounds that it was raining for a long time, and appointed Dong Zhuo as Sikong in Xianyang Garden!"
While reporting the latest news in Luoyang, Deng Zhan handed a small note to Tao Ying.
"'We will be extinct and the world will be in chaos!'...ah!"
Tao Ying saw Zhang Rang's farewell words to Liu Bian, the young emperor of Han, who had jumped into the Yellow River, and felt a sigh in his heart.
"You guys take a look!"
Tao Ying handed the information to Chen Deng, who was serious, and slowly walked a few steps towards the farmland on the roadside with his hands on his back. He then looked up at the gloomy sky in the west. After standing silently for a long time, he muttered to himself.
