As Li Shushi and Guan Cheng reached an agreement on Guan Cheng and the water thieves he led to join the Xihe County troops, Li Shushi's troops finally had the possibility to develop towards the water, but now neither Li Shushi nor Guan Cheng are very capable.
Although we are weak, we still have a long way to go. But isn’t a good start half the success?
By the way, there is another saying called "A journey of a hundred miles is half a mile." These two sentences together tell us that if we pay attention to one end and the other, it is enough, and the whole process in the middle will be regarded as a cloud.
(Heavy fog).
According to the agreement between the two parties, Guan Cheng and his subordinates entered the combat order of Xihe County soldiers and were directly under the command of the commander-in-chief, Lu Bu. In other words, Guan Cheng's army will be an independent combat unit and will not compete with anyone for the time being.
Mixed troops.
Guan Cheng's troops will be stationed near the Yellow River ferry next to Mengmen Pass, and will work with the Mengmen Pass defenders to block the banks of the Yellow River.
Just like the Xihe County soldiers, in addition to training and guarding, would also send some temporarily idle soldiers to protect the passing caravans, Guan Cheng's navy troops were also allowed to do some private work after the main business was completed.
The reason why Li Shushi was so generous to the army before was that on the one hand it allowed the garrison officers and soldiers to earn some extra money, and on the other hand it was also a training for the soldiers. After all, although the bandits on the Xihe trade road were crazy because of several generals some time ago,
It has become rare due to the killing, but the number of various dangerous animals is so large that it makes people feel numb.
In Lu Bu's words: "My lord, did you go out and bring back all the beasts in the whole Han Dynasty? Why do I feel that those beasts are killing more and more, if it weren't for those beasts not attacking?
With the actions of the city, it is estimated that the entire Xihe River will be able to establish a kingdom of beasts in the future. I wonder if they are willing to accept our surrender."
Of course, Li Shushi strongly criticized Lu Bu's capitulationism. However, Li Shushi also knew that the price of recruiting mercenary guards was on the rise recently, which was unquestionable, so he never worried about doing business.
The soldiers escorting the team had no battle to fight. The only thing they had to worry about was whether all those who went out could return.
Similar to the army, Guan Cheng's navy's main source of extra income is shipping escorts. Originally, Guan Cheng wanted to get involved in the shipping industry directly, but considering his criminal record, Li Shushi was very doubtful about whether he would be allowed to serve as both a bodyguard and a escort.
If he was engaged in transportation, I guess he wouldn't be so courageous if he was asked to engage in some black hands, but engaging in some unfair competition would probably be the inevitable result.
Although the Yellow River in Xihe is narrow and the current is quite fast, with dozens of large and small moraines. Although there are many records of water transportation in the county annals, due to the large number of people fleeing Xihe, the place that originally gathered in the bustling place in the early Han Dynasty was quite lively and prosperous.
In the eyes of an outsider like Li Shushi, the shipping industry has become a lonely waterway that cannot be sailed. It is really a pearl in the dark.
However, in the eyes of Li Shushi and the landlubbers in Xihe, the rapid Yellow River and its tributaries were rivers with poor hydrological conditions. However, in the eyes of experts like Guan Cheng, who had been on boats since he was a child, they were a golden waterway that was not dangerous.
With this golden waterway, Xihe merchants no longer have to cross the long Luliang Mountains to endure the elusive beasts and bandits who pop up from time to time to sell goods from the north. This is faster and safer than land transportation.
There are many advantages. Isn't it exactly what Levitz likes to say: "Time is money, my friend."
As for how to make use of this golden waterway that can increase everyone's wealth, Li Shushi directly asked Guan Cheng to negotiate with Cheng Yu, Liu Meng, and Li Gan. He has now deeply felt the stupidity of lay leaders. If it weren't for Guan Cheng,
If Cheng wanted to settle down with him because of family reasons, then the originally prosperous western section of the Yellow River waterway might completely die in his hands.
Besides, letting Liu Meng and Li Gan, two businessmen with much higher proficiency in business skills than Li Shushi, argue with Guan Cheng would definitely cause Guan Cheng to vomit three liters of blood. Plus, Cheng Yu, who is good at bluffing, and definitely
Jia Xu would be attracted by Cheng Yu, and Li Shushi felt that Guan Cheng might want to think carefully about whether working under Li Shushi was a good place to fish.
"Old manager, I want to mark your merits this time. You have made a significant contribution to the development of our Xihe."
Of course, Li Shushi's words not only refer to the fact that Guan Hai has brought a new economic growth point to Xihe, but also because of Guan Hai's conscientious work during this period. At least Li Shushi believes that he can draw such a detailed hydrological map.
, Guan Cheng and Guan Haizhi
They must join forces. As Li Shushi said before, a clear survey of the river is also very helpful for the establishment of farm settlements. After all, there are no chemical fertilizers these days, so one of the factors that determines crop yield is soil and the other is irrigation.
.
Guan Hai didn't say anything to Li Shushi's praise, he just smiled softly. For him, the experience of the Yellow Turban Army was yesterday's history. Although it was a pity, he didn't regret it too much. After all, he had worked hard for it.
, but after seeing the behavior of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan, Guan Hai had already expressed his disapproval of the Yellow Turban Army.
His future has been shaken. So it is not a bad thing for him to be able to follow Li Shushi and do something good for the people now. The only regret he feels is that Li Shushi cannot be the governor here forever in Xihe. And after he leaves
It’s really hard to say what this place will look like.
After all, he has seen too many places where the last good official later attracted a swarm of hungry wolves due to the good results of local governance, causing the place to suffer even greater pain. Sometimes Guan Hai even thought, what if the world was governed by Li Shushi?
Wouldn't it be better? Of course, he had not told anyone else about this idea that would lead to the confiscation of homes and genocide. It's just that it doesn't matter how much favor a senior general of the Yellow Turban Army has towards the corrupt Han Dynasty court.
It's really not easy.
"By the way, Lao Guan, do you know the name of the Guan clan member from Zhuxu who led some people across the sea to Liaodong that Guan Cheng said?"
"His name is Guan Ning. He is the most outstanding young disciple of the Guan family in Qingzhou. However, I heard that he was very resistant to officialdom after studying in the capital for several years. Otherwise, it would be no problem to come to Jiuqing. Sangong also
It’s very possible.”
Beihai Guan Ning is such a talented man. He is a strong man who is one of the strongest men together with Hua Xin and Bing Yuan. Although Guan Ning has never been an official in his life, he can only be ranked at the tail of the dragon. But it is also because of this that he has a reputation.
On the contrary, he is the tallest among the three.
Of course, we cannot think that because of his reputation, his talent must be higher than that of Hua Xin and Bing Yuan. After all, everyone has different strengths. Some people are good at governing local places, some are good at judging cases and prison sentences, and some are good at judging cases and prison sentences.
Guan Ning is good at educating people. After all, Guan Ning has never used his fists in the court, so it is really difficult to judge his ability. But judging from his ability to make the people who took refuge in Liaodong gradually rely on him and make them rarely have disputes, at least this person
The governing party is still fully competent.
However, it needs to be mentioned that the people Guan Ning, Hua Xin and Bing Yuan admired most were Chen Shi and Chen Zhonggong from Yingchuan. At the same time, the Qingzhou housekeepers claimed to be descendants of the famous Prime Minister Guan Zhong. However, the conduct of these two people seemed to be very different.
Not So Perfect - Chen Shiquan
Although he once uttered the bold statement "If I don't go to jail, no one will have anything to rely on" and was imprisoned by the party, he also participated in the Xiaohuangmen Zhang Rang's father, who was the only representative of the scholars and had a very bad reputation at that time.
funeral. As for Guan Zhong, he lived a luxurious life
Moreover, when he was young, he cheated his friends so badly that he was left with only one loyal and good friend, Bao Shuya, who still had no complaints or regrets about him. King Qi basically never criticized him. All the credit belongs to the king and all mistakes belong to him.
Your Majesty, if it weren’t for him and
His master, Jiang Xiaobai, really did something unprecedented. It is estimated that the two of them could not escape the title of a pair of faint kings and sycophants in the days before and after Jiang Xiaobai's death. The dignified Guan Zhong can only be compared with Yi Ya in the history books.
Alongside Shu Diao and his ilk.
Although he admired these two ancestors, Guan Ning never did anything that was detrimental to his moral integrity in his whole life. Even when he was returning from Liaodong, he was guided by a will-o'-wisp and had a safe journey even if he encountered a huge storm. This shows that he is a good person.
The strength of the product.
Of course, now that Guan Ning is far away in Liaodong, it is impossible for Li Shushi to have any interaction with him.
After finishing his official duties, the remaining time was naturally Li Shushi’s private entertainment time.
Although it was winter and the sky darkened very early, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the audience. Although the "Li's Competitive Cuju" was being performed on the field which was less popular with the audience, the torches were lit.
The stadium is illuminated like daylight and you can still hear the cheering shouts of many die-hard fans of this sport.
Well, the so-called "Li's Competitive Cuju" is simply modern football, because although the Cuju project in the military also has many confrontational things, it is more used to exercise the flexibility of the soldiers.
It is also an interesting supplement to boring military training.
It's just that the Han Dynasty is a country with a vast population, and any garrison can have hundreds or thousands of people. Therefore, no matter which military sport it is, the top priority is not the competitiveness or the appreciation, but to allow all soldiers to participate in it.
Get exercise. Therefore, the Cuju sport of big men, especially the Cuju sport in the military, is not possible without thirty or forty people playing in every game. Not to mention anything else, there are as few as three and as many as six on one side of the goal. This goalkeeper
Together they are equivalent to a team in modern football.
Although the scene of this kind of game is very lively, the participants are also playing with great interest, but if you think about a group of people fighting together for a ball, it is better to just play rugby, at least in Li Shushi's opinion
, that would be more direct, and after everyone lets go, the beauty of strength can be reflected.
Of course, you can also consider reducing the number of players on the field, but consider that there are six goals on one side. Even if the offensive players' footwork is comparable to that of the national football team, they may be able to create many unexpected goals. For
The kind of score comparable to a basketball game that only appears in the FI○A series designed by Americans, Li Shushi felt like he had black lines all over his forehead.
Therefore, after many practices, Li Shushi "unfortunately" became the inventor of a new sport.
Of course, he, the inventor, would never go on the field to play football, even if his feet were itchy, because in order to ensure that those violent men in the army would not break the game ball into pieces within a few days, then
The football is hard. In Li Shushi's opinion, it is probably no different from the medicine ball he used for physical tests in elementary school.
.Although the others played extremely energetically, our poor little friend Li Shushi sprained her ankle because she used too much force when playing football. Although she was able to continue jumping around the next day under the treatment of a certain lolita
, but since then, Li Shushi has never been on the football field again.
And while Li Shushi was sitting comfortably in the stadium watching the night game, things that few people knew about were also happening outside the stadium. Although these things may not be big, their impact seems to be very limited, and there are even fewer insiders.
They are few and far between, but they do happen.
p.s. For the first time in two months, the collection has increased without recommendations. Could it be that the comet transited and Hai Dongqing climbed onto the lightning rod?
