Chapter 421: Signs of the collapse of the empire

This is not nonsense. Chen Xi has no idea about rebuilding the family. Although he is now considered a figure in the Chen family, Chen Xi has no idea how to build a new family. The only idea is

First of all, there are a few children to support him. As for the family education, background, money, etc. needed to establish a family, it is not a problem.

Just take a bunch of things from the library and let two generations study them to become a family scholar. The heritage of the Chen family in Yingchuan is his heritage. As for money, apart from decorating the facade, the family really doesn’t need much.

.

"..." Zhuge Liang didn't say anything. When his brother Zhuge Jin split away, he only gave him a letter and didn't mention anything else. He understood everything. Zhuge Jin didn't want him to return to Zhuge's house, so he chose

If you are free, then use your brain and hands to chase everything.

"Zijian, how long does it take for us to reach Donglai?" Chen Xi asked Hua Xiong. In order to rush for time, he took a straight line. Otherwise, he should go to Qi first and then take the official road to Donglai.

"It will take about ten days. We have just passed Langya now and are about to enter Beihai. If we are lucky, we may meet the lord's team welcoming the military advisor." Hua Xiong looked at and estimated the distance, as well as his own party.

The speed is as fast as one person and three horses.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy. Now I just hope that Duke Xuande can send the military order directly to Gan Xingba at Donglai Port." Chen Xi sighed and said, "What I am most worried about is that the messenger will not be able to deliver the letter to Xuande in a short time.

In the hands of Mr. De."

"It is said that Fa Xiaozhi was transferred from Qi to Beihai by Duke Xuande to temporarily take charge of Jia Wenhe's government affairs. As long as the letter can be sent to Fa Xiaozhi, it will be guaranteed to be delivered to Duke Xuande." Zhuge Liang frowned.

He frowned and said, to be honest, Fazheng caused a lot of trouble for Zhuge Liang during Chen Xi's absence.

"It would be strange if Xiaozhi could handle government affairs obediently in the government office." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The biggest problem in Beihai now is the placement of the Yellow Turbans in the territory. In order for Xiaozhi to show his ability in front of his father, do you think he will

Will you obediently handle government affairs in the government office? The possibility of finding Fa Xiaozhi is even slimmer than the possibility of finding Xuande Gong."

When Zhuge Liang thought of Fazheng's character, he sighed silently. Fazheng was not a rule-abiding person. When Liu Bei handed over the Beihai government affairs to Fazheng, he must have had very loose restrictions on Fazheng. After all, Chen Xi had already taken care of the main thing.

Planning, just follow the steps.

However, it is obvious that this kind of thing does not reflect Fazheng's ability. Fazheng, who is eager to show himself in front of his father, just like Chen Xi said, took his father to the countryside. Who knows where!

All three of them sighed. In the end, Hua Xiong waved his horse and drove directly towards the set target. As for whether he could deliver the order to Liu Bei, it was up to fate. At this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

, if the transfer order does not arrive by then, Chen Xi will have no choice but to get on the ship and go to Lujiang River with Gan Ning. After all, Gan Ning still has a series of things to do in the Donglai Peninsula, such as cruising, escorting, and transporting grain and grass, as assigned by Liu Bei.

It was silent all the way again. After traveling for more than a hundred miles and entering Beihai County, the originally hot weather suddenly heated up. Looking up at the sky, Chen Xi was helpless. On a cloudless hot day, he wanted to find a cloud to catch and cover the sun.

no.

"Let's set up camp and march at night. It seems we can't march during the day." Chen Xi sighed and said, "It must be too hot."

"Military advisor, you'd better not talk about this day. Our three places of Taishan, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou are pretty good. Yanzhou, Sili, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, most of Yuzhou, Bingzhou, and part of Jizhou are all suffering from a severe drought. There is almost no harvest.

, We still get some rain here at least every once in a while. Although it is not much, we still have a harvest of food, so it is not a disaster year." Hua Xiong lamented while setting up camp.

Chen Xi sighed and said nothing. Now that he knew his exact spiritual talent, he could actually find out just by asking Zuo Ci, haha...

However, what we have achieved now is considered to be the best. It is basically impossible to have good weather in such a disaster year.

"This drought has affected too many people." Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "Sure enough, the old saying is still true. After war, there will be natural disasters."

"..." Chen Xi frowned, how should he say this sentence? Although it seems to have no practical connection, the fact seems to be that.

"There wasn't much snow last winter, and now there's a severe drought, and then there's going to be a locust plague." Chen Xi sighed.

"What! You said there was a locust plague!" Hua Xiong jumped directly in front of Chen Xi, forgetting even his honorific.

"Zijian, please put me down first. I already have ways to deal with the locust plague. I remember I wrote about the prevention and control of the locust plague before. Don't worry, it won't have much impact here. After all, Zilong originally ordered deep plowing in winter."

Chen Xi patted Hua Xiong's hands holding his clothes.

"Is this really effective?" Hua Xiong quickly put down Chen Xi, but still looked nervous and asked.

"Well, it's effective, and at least we have rain here. Even if there is a locust plague, it won't be too big, and the locusts are edible. We have raised over a million chickens and ducks in Mount Tai." Chen Xi smiled and said, "

I have started prevention and treatment a long time ago. Don’t worry, it’s not a big problem.”

Speaking of raising chickens, what do you say? It seems that the chickens raised by the government grow fast enough. As for the chickens raised by the Taishan people, it takes about a year to be considered full-grown. Moreover, those raised by the people are reluctant to eat them, and most of them are hatched.

Chickens, there were so many chickens in Taishan in the end.

When something like this happened, Chen Xi naturally ordered the officials to collect chickens. He finally built Mount Tai clean and tidy. How could he let these guys make trouble and collect chickens at a high price, one or five baht for three!

But that's fine, after the officials took it in and raised it, the chickens that the soldiers gave them twice a month also found a home. Anyway, Chen Xi could see that the chickens wouldn't grow up in a few years if they were fed by the people in Taishan.

.

"Huh, that's great. I even forgot that we raised a lot of chickens and ducks." Hua Xiong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The locust plague is still too scary for people like Hua Xiong who have experienced it personally.

, after the locusts passed by, there was no trace of green anymore. You must know that it was still on the prairie...

"Don't worry, locusts are just fodder." Chen Xi covered his eyes and looked at the hot fireball in the sky.

It’s no joke that locusts will succumb to a prolonged drought, especially in the late Han Dynasty when there were endless natural disasters. The occurrence of locust plagues during severe droughts was almost a matter of course. The collapse of a dynasty, apart from the reasons of the court and ministers, was indispensable every time.

Constant natural disasters, even natural disasters, and plagues were the real reasons for the collapse of the empire.
