In the eleventh year of Jianxing's reign, Wei State defeated Kebi Neng's tens of thousands of elite cavalry in the north and retreated Sun Quan's 100,000 troops in the south, finally demonstrating its mettle as the overlord of the Central Plains.
Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong took the initiative to kill the envoys of the State of Wu, officially recognizing himself as a minister of Wei, and adding icing on the cake to the martial arts of the State of Wei.
In addition, in the tenth year of Jianxing, Tian Yu killed Zhou He in Chengshan, and Man favored him in Lujiang, forcing Lu Xun to retreat.
The people of Shu have also been very sensible in the past two years. They have kept their troops stationary and have not caused any obstacles to the Wei Dynasty.
Cao Rui felt proud for once.
Compared to Cao Rui's relaxed attitude, Feng Jishishi was a bit cursing, "Is this just to cause trouble for others? It's already spring, why is it snowing!"
There was a white disaster the year before last, and as soon as spring began the next year, there were spring floods in Juyanze.
However, Ju Yanze had not returned to the hands of the Han at that time, so apart from spending some effort to block the way for the Hu people to go south, the problem was not too big.
There was less snow last year. If Feng had not studied geography very well, he would have known that the Hexi Corridor is mainly supplied by ice and snow melt water.
Therefore, since the beginning of taking charge of Liangzhou, water conservancy projects have been carried out in the name of exams, which may lead to another spring drought.
This year was normal, but after the spring started and the cold returned, it actually started to snow.
Thinking of the Little Ice Ages in history, Governor Feng was very suspicious. Could it be that God is a bitch?
Otherwise, why would my temper suddenly become extremely irritable every few hundred years, with cold, heat, drought, and floods becoming unpredictable?
"It's so cold in spring!"
Secretary Zhang also frowned and reached out to catch the fluttering snow particles.
Although the snow is not heavy, the impact is very bad.
It is so bad that it may cause problems with spring plowing in Liangzhou.
"When we get to Jianyin, make sure we have the beans first."
Governor Feng stood outside the door of the Governor's Mansion and said to Li Xu who was about to leave:
"Don't worry about food rations. The beans that the war horses eat are the most important thing."
Over the years, Mr. Xu Li has been insisting that a certain amount of rice cultivation should be maintained to prepare for food shortages.
I didn't think so in Shu before, but now that I've arrived in Liangzhou, I realize that this decision couldn't be more wise.
It is precisely because of these provisions that Feng Junhou encountered no matter whether he encountered drought in Longyou or white disaster in Liangzhou.
Or if there are other situations that God is not happy with, he has the confidence to lead the people below to survive.
Of course, there is a price to pay for planting 罽头.
That means a lot of water and fertilizer are needed.
That is to say, with advanced production tools and production methods, coupled with the rise of the breeding industry, there is a large amount of farmyard manure.
Only Li Xu can grow enough grain to prepare for famine.
Hearing what Governor Feng said, Mrs. Li Xu quickly lowered her head and said "Promise."
Manyin County is right on the bank of the river.
When Feng Jishi was the captain of the Qiang Guards, the area from Zuli County to Zhuanyin County was regarded as the border between the Han and Wei Dynasties, and it was also a gathering place for the Hu people.
At that time, Feng Xiaowei planned to build hundreds of thousands of acres and divert water from the river for irrigation.
These two places have always been under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. In the first year when Feng Governor took charge of Liangzhou, many victims who had nowhere to go due to the White Disaster were resettled there.
Coupled with the support of a large number of livestock in Liangzhou, the fertile farmland there has now expanded to more than one million acres, and it is the main supply base of beans for the horses of the Liangzhou governor's army.
As for the beans in Shu, they were naturally supplied to the armies of Hanzhong and Longyou.
Because the Han army now had a large number of livestock as transportation capacity, the demand for beans was extremely huge.
The big man is no longer the same as before.
Regardless of size, just in terms of development level, compared to the Wei and Wu kingdoms, the Han Dynasty was simply an upstart.
There is no way, who told the big man to bring out an old demon and a ghost king?
The wealthy and aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty were either manipulated into being submissive or were given money to be submissive.
Because of the booming economic expansion, both the imperial court and the emerging feudal capital groups had an urgent motivation to release the labor force.
Not to mention the hidden population, even women, the capital monsters are trying to find ways to bring them to work.
Staying in the boudoir and not being able to show yourself to the public?
nonexistent!
If the woman is hiding at home, who will be the weaver in the workshop?
No one is a weaver, so how can I make money?
Taking Nanzhong as an example, the price of Shengliao has risen to 150 cents, but it is still expensive but not marketable.
How many Yi people, Qu Shuai, suddenly became landowners of sugar cane plantations and drove their own people to plant sugar cane.
Can rebellion be as sweet as sugar cane?
Liu Zhou's rebellion the year before last year sent all the last barbarians in Nanzhong who could make waves to the Han to work as laborers.
The Han Dynasty's control over Nanzhong has reached an unprecedented level.
After taking Liangzhou, the Han Dynasty's registered population already reached 2.3 million.
In addition to the population released by aristocratic families, there are also a considerable number of Yi and Hu people who were fabricated and registered.
In addition, in the past ten years, because the Han people have no worries about famine, there has been a wave of baby boom.
Compared with the millions ten years ago, the current population of Han Dynasty has doubled and is 30% more. What is this if not an upstart?
So many people think that wool pasture sugarcane is really a good thing!
Even Secretary Zhang believed that wool was a means to appease aristocratic families, and grassland was a weapon to control barbarians.
She saw that Feng Jishi just told him "pay attention to the beans", so she quickly added:
"In addition to beans, we also need to pay attention to forage. Don't dare to delay the forage on the pasture. Those livestock are more precious than people!"
As soon as these words came out, Governor Feng couldn't help but look at the woman sideways.
Look, look!
This is called the unabashedly ugly face of capitalists!
Secretary Zhang did not feel that there was anything wrong in what he said.
Feeling the strange look from Feng Jishishi, she looked down at her clothes inexplicably, thinking there was something wrong with her.
At this moment, General Guan was heard saying:
"That's right, if Liangzhou wants to be self-sufficient in food this year, those livestock will be indispensable!"
Oh, that's how it is……
Governor Feng's eyes immediately changed to admiration. General Guan still had a plan.
After thinking about it, before the breeding industry developed and expanded, a family with one or two cows would be the tyrant of the village.
And what is certain is that if there is a cow at home, the family will not go hungry in normal years.
In times of famine, we can persist longer than others.
So livestock are indeed more valuable than people...
Recognizing this point, Feng Jishi nodded repeatedly and said to Li Tong, who was standing next to Li Xu:
"When you get there, if you find someone disobeying the rules, just show your identity."
Li Tong is now regarded as the beekeeper king of Han Dynasty.
Among the upper-class Han people, the top dessert was not brown sugar, but honey.
Of course, what Governor Feng valued was not honey.
After all, he doesn't like money.
What he valued was beeswax.
This is the most important output of beekeeping.
Waxed paper is related to school examinations, and more importantly, to the propaganda of ideological education in the military. It cannot be careless.
Governor Feng allowed Li Tong to use his identity to act, which can be regarded as recognition of his contribution.
But Li Tong was startled when he heard what Feng Governor said.
My identity? What identity can I have?
He subconsciously looked behind Governor Feng with questioning eyes.
But I saw that my sister had a slight blush on her face, and her eyes were shy.
Then Li Tong understood it all at once and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
The brother-in-law of King Feng Gui...is he very honorable?
What's more, she's still a concubine.
With this thought in mind, Li Tong respectfully agreed.
"The journey is not easy, so be careful. When you get there, don't betray your trust."
Seeing that both men and women had finished speaking, Li Mu stood up and said goodbye to his brother and his wife.
Sending his younger brother-in-law to Eunyin to inspect the spring plowing is enough to show that the prince attaches great importance to this matter.
Although Li Mu didn't understand military matters, he never asked about them.
But being in the governor's house, she vaguely knew some things.
On the other side of Jianyin, some grain was grown on the cultivated land under the control of the Xinghan Hui.
This year we will all switch to growing beans.
The reason is also very simple.
This year the governor's office will officially rebuild the cavalry army on a large scale.
Naturally, Li Mu couldn't tell Li Tong and his wife about these things, but he could secretly mention them:
"The male gentleman just now also said that if someone does not follow the rules, you should not be afraid of trouble. This time, the prince has sent you to do something, and it represents the prince's face."
As she said that, she glanced at Governor Feng and General Guan.
General Guan looked as usual and seemed not to think there was anything wrong with what she said.
Feng Jishi, on the other hand, noticed Li Mu's gaze and turned to look at her, even smiling with some approval.
Xinghanhui has now become not only an economic behemoth.
And as Feng Jishi became a big boss of the Han Dynasty, his political influence also increased day by day.
Zhao Erha evolved into Zhao Sanqian.
Li Yi entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and joined the army.
Wang Xun was appointed as the prefect of Yuexun, and his political achievements were excellent every year.
Li Qiu first served as the prefect of Jincheng, and now he joined the Liangzhou governor's army to lead a battalion.
Not to mention Nanxiang, where Huang Chong is located, affects the price of bulk materials in the Han Dynasty.
Other figures related to the Xinghan Hui, such as Wang Ping, Liu Yin, Zhang Ni, Jufu, etc., were either prefects or guarding important passes.
But as the saying goes, the bigger the forest is, the more birds there are.
Although as long as Feng Huishou, the leader, is there, no one below will dare to jump around.
But there are many people under the hands of the younger brothers who depend on them for food.
The younger brother's younger brother is not the younger brother of the elder brother Feng.
Not to mention that there will definitely be differences when it comes to personal interests.
Xinghanhui is not a precision machine. Over the years, it will more or less produce some old people.
At that time, there must be someone who is not short-sighted and feels that he is backed by the Xinghan Association, or that he has the ability to spread a message within the Xinghan Association, so he wants to use his privileges or something.
When Governor Feng said to Li Tong and his wife, "Show me your identity," you were endorsing them.
Li Tong received his sister's approval and quickly agreed again.
"It's getting late, let's set off."
The weather was not suitable for riding horses, so Li Tong and Li Xu rode in a carriage together.
After the two got on the carriage, someone in the entourage greased the wheels of the carriage again, and the carriage creaked on the road.
In the early spring of the 12th year of Jianxing, Governor Feng sent Li Tong and his wife away.
We also have to worry about the late spring cold in Liangzhou that may affect spring plowing.
It happened that at this time, another news came from the Hu people in the north.
And this news was brought here by Zhao Guang.
Preparing to say that it was Zhao Guang who pulled Shi Bao to the door.
"Brother, brother, there is good news for my little brother's war horse!"
On this day, Zhao Guang dragged Shi Bao straight into the governor's house, shouting repeatedly.
The sound was so loud that even Guan Ji ran out. Seeing that there were outsiders present, she calmed down her expression, calmly said hello, and then winked at Feng Jishi several times before leaving.
Of course Governor Feng understood what she meant.
After all, this part of the army is General Guan's territory.
After two years of operation, Liangzhou has stabilized.
Therefore, the governor's office will officially expand its army this year.
The cavalry is the top priority.
Cavalry is easy to find, but qualified war horses are hard to find.
Now that I heard the news that Zhao Guang has war horses, might General Guan not care?
Governor Feng rubbed his temples tiredly and asked:
"Where did you find so many war horses?"
It's not easy to be a boss. I have been patrolling outside these days just to show that I attach great importance to spring plowing.
After finally taking a rest for a day, Zhao Sanqian, who was so indifferent, came to look for trouble.
"Kebineng, brother, it's Kebineng!"
Zhao Guang still looked excited and couldn't understand what he was saying.
If you weren't my brother, I would definitely beat you to death!
Feng Yong sat upright, frowned and said:
"Ke Bineng? After he was defeated by the Wei thieves, didn't he flee to Mobei? How did you get in touch with him?"
Zhao Guang pushed Shi Bao out:
"Let Zhong Rong speak about this matter."
Feng Yong's eyes fell on Shi Bao.
Shi Bao coughed:
"Junhou, it's like this. Didn't Kebineng's original power go to Jiuyuan's hometown? In the past, didn't Hu Bo Juzi also herd cattle in Jiuyuan's hometown..."
Governor Feng was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense and said angrily: "Let's get to the point!"
"Yes! That's right. Ke Bi Neng approached the Yan family where Hu Bo was employed and said that he wanted to join forces with the Han Dynasty to fight against Wei."
Then the Yan family, where Hu Bo lives, came to find you?
Governor Feng glanced at Shi Bao and then at Zhao Guang.
Damn it, just with the peerless looks of the two of you, in future generations, if you really want to make a debut, I don’t know how many CP fans you will attract.
It's a pity that of these two people, one is a humanoid Erha, and the other is hungry and greedy.
The big brother who took the lead suddenly felt so tired!
However, being hungry also has the advantage of not being selective about food. Just like now, the north of Liangzhou is the territory of Xianbei in the west. Kebi could not get through, but he was able to send messages through Shi Bao's concubine.
Governor Feng could only think in the best direction. He knocked on the table and asked in a deep voice:
"What good can Kebi promise?"
Shi Bao showed admiration:
"The prince is indeed very resourceful, and he knows that Kebi can bring benefits to the prince."
As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers:
"Kebineng said that as long as the Han is willing to help him, he is willing to pay tribute to the Han with 2,000 fine war horses. At the same time, he can also provide 20,000 cattle and sheep to exchange grain and wool with the Han."
Hearing this, even the wealthy Governor Feng raised his eyebrows!
What a generous move!
There is no shortage of horses in Liangzhou.
But a good war horse is never enough.
Zhao Guang said happily from the side:
"Brother, how can we let go of such a great thing? The Bald Hair Division met my brother back then, and now they have become his lackeys."
"Then Ke Bineng, isn't he much fatter than the bald part? If we don't squeeze out his 180 kilograms of oil, wouldn't the title of brother be in vain?"
When Governor Feng heard this, he was furious!
Damn it, can you speak?
If you can't speak, can you hold it in?
He picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it over, cursing:
"What's my name? What's wrong with my name! Don't you know what's wrong with my reputation in Liangzhou? If you don't know, go out and ask!"
