When he came with him, when he left Fenyin, the entire Fenyin County was almost in full force, and the roads were densely packed with people on both sides.
Many families even mobilized their entire families to support the elderly and the young by showing up on the roadside.
Of course they didn't come to see Liu De.
But here to see Baoding!
At this time, superstition was very serious among the people. From the nobles to the common people, there was no one who did not believe in God.
Fenyin is the hardest-hit area. It has been worshiping the landowner Houtu for two to three thousand years. Superstition can be said to be deeply rooted in the genes and blood of the people.
This time the tripod comes out of Fenxiang, people in other places may still doubt the authenticity of the tripod.
But the people of Fenyin believed it firmly.
Especially after Liu De deliberately spread the news that "Wang Yan fled to Wei", many historians immediately appeared and took the initiative to fill in the blanks of that period of history for Liu De.
Now, among the people of Fenyin, there have been versions detailing the time, place, characters and scenes about how Song Ding arrived in Fenxi.
"In the 29th year of King He of Zhou, King Wei of Qi, with the acquiescence of the State of Qin, united Wei and Zhao to launch the third war against the Song Dynasty, which greatly defeated the State of Song. King Dai Yan of the Song Dynasty fled to the State of Wei and offered the tripod for protection.
Because the prince of the Song Dynasty was humiliated by the calamity of the country's subjugation, and the humiliation of offering the ancestral temple to inherit the valuable treasure in order to survive, he secretly ordered his ministers to destroy the inscription on the tripod... The king of Wei was overjoyed when he got the tripod. Because there was no inscription, and soon Le Yi defeated Qi, he did not dare to show it to the world, so he enshrined it.
He came to the land of the Empress of Wei in order to seek the protection of the gods..." Liu De looked at the many folk rumors and speculations about Baoding collected by his father Yan, and he laughed in his heart. Many times, isn't this how history turns unofficial history into
Is it official history?
But then again, such a possibility does exist.
Liu De continued to read, and the following versions and stories were full of absurdity and mythology.
Liu De dreamed at night in Wushan that there were gods heading south. When he arrived at Jieshan, the willow branches all over the mountain pointed straight to the west, crossing the river. There were turtles coming out of the water, koi carps making bridges and so on.
Anyway, the common people are getting angry. No one can stop them.
When Liu De saw these things, he just smiled and let them go.
When he becomes emperor, these myths and legends may become official history as a symbol of his divine right to rule.
But now, it is of little use and has drawbacks. It is just spread among the people. However, it must not be allowed to appear in the palace. Otherwise, if the cheap dad becomes suspicious, Liu De will at least be scolded, or even
may jeopardize his position.
Therefore, Liu De has ordered that his attendants and eunuch maids are prohibited from talking about any topics related to gods and monsters.
However, Chen Ajiao was very excited and nuzzled in Liu De's arms. From time to time, she opened the car curtain and looked at the dense crowds of people on both sides of the road outside, asking: "Cousin, why are there so many people?"
"They heard that Gillian was leaving and were reluctant to leave, so they all came to see her off..." Liu De said with a smile, touching her little head and teasingly.
"Really?" Chen Ajiao asked innocently.
"Haha..." Liu De smiled.
Because there were so many people watching along the way, Liu De spent too much time crossing the river. As a result, it took until the afternoon for Liu De and his party to complete the crossing and arrive at Linyi County on the other side of the river.
In Linyi County, the attention Liu De and others received has not diminished.
But when he was in Linyi County, Liu De met a talent he sent to Xingyang to conquer Chu Qiang.
In fact, Chu Qiang may not be considered a talent at all in the eyes of intellectuals at this time. Even Confucian people do not recognize him as a scholar at all.
Chu Qiang had never been an official or a businessman, nor had he ever been a teacher to any big shot.
Even Chu Qiang's culture was very limited. He could only read simple characters and did some simple arithmetic.
However, even Liu De, a prince who was born in a deep palace, had heard his name many times during his stay in Hedong.
The reason why he is famous is because, like Bole in ancient times, he has a skill that no one else has - Bole looks at horses, and he looks at oxen.
According to folklore, Chu Qiang of Xingyang was all good at looking at cows. He even only needed to look at the appearance of a cow to infer whether the cow was healthy, how heavy a cart it could pull, how much land it could plow, and even whether the cow was sick.
After being bought by him, he nursed it back to health for a winter, and the next year it was alive and kicking again, becoming a top-quality farm cow.
Therefore, after Liu De heard about this man's reputation, he sent Wang Dao to conquer Xingyang.
At this time, because hundreds of schools of thought were not suppressed and Confucianism was respected only, the Mohist family and its branch farmers did not suffer a devastating blow. Therefore, there were countless strange people who had special skills and were respected by their neighbors.
For example, during this trip to Hedong, Liu De heard among the people that Chu Qiang, the Prime Minister of Xingyang, was unparalleled in the world in raising cattle, and that a man named Changru from Liu County raised pigs unparalleled in the world, and the sows he raised were unparalleled in the world.
It can give birth to more than a dozen piglets, and the survival rate can even exceed 70 to 80%, which really amazes those who hear it and those who watch it.
As for Qiao Yao, who later came to Daibei, he raised thousands of horses, twice as many cattle, and ten thousand sheep. He was the largest livestock owner in the world and was extremely wealthy.
Zhang Li, a veterinarian in Youbeiping, was once as wealthy as a prince by treating sick horses in Emperor Liu Che's pasture.
Bu Shi, the later imperial censor of the Liu Che Dynasty, initially made his fortune by raising sheep and had tens of millions of wealth!
However, after the suppression of Confucianism by hundreds of schools of thought, this grand occasion and the strange people and strangers among the people began to gradually wither and disappear, and they were no longer the grand occasion they are today.
This is because of a change in thinking.
Now, in this era where hundreds of schools of thought still only respect Confucianism, learning a skill or a technique has been recognized by the common people from the emperor to the present, and they will not think it is some weird trick, and a gentleman cannot learn it.
On the contrary, the social atmosphere at this time believed that happiness was the first priority, and honor was the second most important thing. Since everyone learned a skill, they could stand up for each other.
However, all schools of thought only respected Confucianism. As a result, everyone has seen it. Just the name of "scheming" is enough to scare away the enthusiasm of most aspiring young people to learn and research agriculture and animal husbandry technology.
"So, Xiaozhu, it's not that my brother is robbing you of the throne for personal gain. It's actually my brother who is much more suitable to be emperor than you!" Liu De thought in his heart, and ordered someone to summon Chu Qiang to see him.
Not long after, a dark and strong man was led to Liu De's tent. He lowered his head and knelt down and kowtowed: "Xingyang little citizen Chu Qiang pays homage to His Highness!"
His gesture of salute was meticulous, without any panic at all. Just this detail let Liu De know that this person should have received a certain degree of good education since he was a child. His family background should be good. How can ordinary people know these etiquettes?
Think about it, this is normal!
Ordinary people, poor people, and poor people, let alone raising cattle, even renting cattle are a luxury at this time.
In his previous life in Hejian Kingdom, Liu De saw farmers in some villages still using primitive stone tools or even wooden farm tools for farming. Want to use cattle? Dream on!
As for the later Divination style, the official history seems to say that he looked very pitiful, but he was able to become a censor. This proves that he at least understands some culture and can memorize many classics. Otherwise, why would he?
Sit in the seat of Sangong?
As a time traveler, Liu De knows very well that even in later generations, large-scale breeding is not something ordinary farmers can do. If nothing else, once the number of pigs reaches hundreds, all kinds of problems will arise.
When an epidemic occurs, one improper measure can lead to the annihilation of the entire army!
How can a person who can engage in large-scale farming and prosper in this pre-Century era be a farmer in the ordinary sense?
Therefore, Liu De quickly corrected his attitude and personally helped him up, saying: "I have heard of the Duke for a long time. Today I can be honored by the Duke and come to Hedong to see him in person. It is really a blessing to my life!"
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Chu Qiang raised his head, with a big black face covered with whiskers. He smiled at Liu De and said very elegantly, "It's a comfort to have a nickname that can reach His Highness's ears. I don't know what His Highness calls him."
What do you want me to do when I come here? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I want to build a ranch to raise cattle and horses. I heard that your skills in handling cattle are unparalleled in the world. I would like to treat you as the owner of the ranch. I don't know what you want?" Liu De said very sincerely.
However, Chu Qiang lowered his head and declined politely: "I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness. However, if a commoner has no talent or virtue, why should he be an official?"
What a joke!
He raises and buys cattle in his hometown, and can earn who knows how much money a year. Over the years, he has accumulated millions of money alone. His annual income has far exceeded that of the two thousand shi court officials of the imperial court.
, why do you want to be an official?
Liu De was stunned when he heard this. This was the first time he encountered a wall when recruiting talents.
However, since Chu Qiang is willing to come to see him, it means that it is still possible to recruit him, but his price is too low, and people think it is not a good deal!
This is nothing. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the trend of thought that kings choose ministers and ministers choose kings has been very strong. After the end of Qin Dynasty, with the unification of the world, although this trend of thought gradually subsided, it still exists.
Liu De himself also knew that animal husbandry giants such as Chu Qiang and Qiao Yao may not be able to appreciate the salary from the court. Moreover, today's social atmosphere also makes these people very respected among the people, and there is no lack of self-esteem.
, to prove your own problem.
But Liu De was unwilling to let go of a talent like Chu Qiang.
Because Liu De needs countless Chu Qiang to help him expand the number of cattle, so as to prepare for the comprehensive promotion of cattle farming nationwide in the future.
Well, you read that right!
At that time, farming with cattle only existed in some areas north of the Yangtze River and west of the Yellow River. Basically, only in Guanzhong and Hanoi, Hexi, Hedong and other sacred places in Guandong, the tradition of farming with cattle existed, and it was not widespread!
Historically, it was when Zhao Guo, a wise official in the later period of Emperor Wu, promoted the method of field substitution, that tools such as cattle farming and plowshares were truly popularized in Guanzhong and then throughout the world.
Before that, only the rich, landowners and aristocratic families raised cattle and used them for farming. (To be continued)
ps: Chu Qiang is not a fabrication, he is a real person, recorded in the Historical Records: Biography of the Japanese!
