Li Ru always thought he was very smart, but he still didn't expect that things would take such a turn. He said to the angry Dong Zhuo: "If we had known that Huangfu Song would be transferred to Luoyang and Gai Xun would die of illness, why would we send out so many troops?"
Soldiers and horses fighting? Now the opportunity is in front of us, but we have no ability to cross the Yellow River again this year."
Dong Zhuo was still cursing, "He Jin is an incompetent person, and Huangfu Song has made great achievements but he has to be transferred out of Guanzhong. How can there be such a reason? Lu Bu, a villain, has stolen the position of General of the Western Expedition, and he will surely lead his troops to attack him one day!"
Although scolding can relieve hatred, it does not help in solving problems. Bingzhou has been looted to a great extent. Even if Dong Zhuo is furious, it is impossible for him to surrender his troops and horses in a short period of time after two consecutive defeats.
To add to this, there are tens of thousands of Huns in Bingzhou, and powerful people from all over the country have built forts in the mountains. If they want to collect food, they have to go down with their troops.
Rather than collecting taxes, it would be better to go to the countryside to clean up.
Just when Dong Zhuo was envious and jealous of Lu Bu, people sent by Han Sui met Li Ru. Li Ru then reported the news to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhongying was surprised again when he heard this, "What? Lu Bu wants to
Do you want to join forces with me to deal with Xiliang?"
Li Rudao: "This is indeed what Han Wenyue's letter said."
Dong Zhuo had been hit one after another recently, and he was no longer as arrogant as before. He walked back and forth in the room several times holding the letter, but still couldn't make up his mind, so he asked: "Wen You thinks we should join forces with Lu Bu."
?”
Li Ru spread his hands and said, "Are we still capable of attacking Guanzhong now?"
Dong Zhuo said very bachelorly: "No."
"Then it's better to agree to Lu Bu first. Then maybe we can get some food from him." Li Ru said: "In addition, my lord might as well send people to the Taihang Mountains to capture more people and sell them to Xiliang."
"The Taihang Mountains are Zhang Yan's territory, isn't that bad?"
Li Rudao: "Now Zhang Yan's troops are trapped in Hebei, and those left at the foot of the Taihang Mountains are just the old and weak. If my lord does not want to come forward, let Yang Feng of the Baibo Army do it, or let the Huns do it.
The food that comes is shared equally between the two families."
"This works! Let the Baibo bandits and the Huns fight the Black Mountain bandits, and we will reap the benefits!"
During the great changes in Guanzhong, the world was still sliding towards a more collapsed situation. The relationship between Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan continued to deteriorate, and both sides had begun to expel each other's appointed officials and troops. Gongsun Zan
After defeating the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, he recruited the young and strong among them and gained tens of thousands of soldiers. Liu Yu also recruited Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and he had even more soldiers and horses under his command.
However, at this time, Gongsun Zan didn’t want to completely break up with Liu Yu. After all, Liu Yu was Youzhou Mu, Gongsun Baima’s immediate boss. Born in a noble family, even if he was just an unappreciated bastard, Gongsun Zan still wanted to leave him a lasting impression.
Some dignity. After he expanded his troops, he did not direct his troops at Liu Yu, but joined the battle for Hebei.
At this time, the most powerful military group in the world was still the Luoyang court under the leadership of He Jin. But the one with the highest reputation was Yuan Shu, the direct descendant of Zhengshuo of the Yuan family. Although Yuan Shao was regarded as the new generation head of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu
It is often said that "Yuan Benchu is just a little servant!"
During the crusade against He Jin, the most outstanding troops were Sun Jian's troops, and Sun Jian was Yuan Shu's subordinate. Any achievements made by Sun Jian will be partly attributed to Yuan Shu. In addition, Sun Jian's recent victory has been easily attributed to Yuan Shu.
After pacifying the Nanyang Basin and forcing Liu Biao back from Jingzhou, Yuan Shu's reputation increased even more, and he became the most eye-catching leader in the world.
Under such circumstances, after Gongsun Zan was frustrated in his attack on Hebei, he naturally sent people to contact Yuan Shu, hoping that the two sides could jointly deal with the political and military alliance of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Yuan Shao occupied most of Hebei, and Cao Mengde supported him
With Yuan Shao, he occupied more than ten counties in Dongjun.
The two sides joined forces several times and eliminated many enemies. In the process of becoming the governor of Dongjun, Cao Cao killed several superiors one after another, so that he could successfully take over the entire Dongjun. With the territory, soldiers and horses, he also had
With the assistance of a number of Yingchuan talents such as Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia, Cao Cao's power expanded very quickly.
Central China was originally a prosperous and prosperous place. Although it was much damaged by the forces of all parties, he still easily gained a population of nearly 100,000 households and armed tens of thousands of troops. There has just been some improvement.
He wiped out many of the Yellow Turban Army, and even the Taishan bandits next door were defeated several times by Cao Cao. Now they no longer dare to enter Yanzhou easily.
Yuan Shu stared at the Central Plains and Luoyang. Behind him were Liu Yao, Wu Jing and other separatists, as well as Yan Baihu, who "does not control the people of heaven and earth." However, these people attacked each other and could not cause too much trouble for Yuan Shu.
Much trouble.
While the outside world was causing disturbances, Xiliang became quiet. Ever since Song Jian overrode the throne and was quickly defeated by Chen Shijun, the princes of Liangzhou no longer had the strength and courage to fight against him. They were once unruly and unruly.
The Xiliang fierce horses have been tamed and docile.
Now that we no longer have the courage to cause trouble, some troops and horses in various places have been reduced. It is no longer the case that any county can pull out tens of thousands of troops. After the number of troops is reduced, less money and food expenditures are needed. Plus the people
The greater the quantity, the greater the output.
Chen Cheng didn't come up with anything new this year. He just helped build more mills in various places, expanded the size of the original factory, and then improved the textile machinery. As a result, there was a Dazhi in the prefecture.
It looks like. Although the people are still very poor, most of them can basically have enough to eat.
And this situation does not only happen near Yinchuan, but also in most areas of Liangzhou. To the east of Helan Mountain, there are more than ten textile factories. The price of the cloth produced is compared with the expensive Shu silk.
, it is considered to be of high quality and low price. Not only is it cheap, it also has better thermal insulation effect.
So much wool cloth was put on the market, but it did not "have an impact on the rural economic system." Chen Cheng had been worried about this problem before, but after actual inspection, he found that the situation was different from what he imagined. In this era, there is no
Large-scale cotton cultivation, cloth is mostly made of linen, and then silk.
The main producing areas of silk are: Guanzhong, Shuzhong, Central Plains, Qilu, and Xiliang. However, there has never been any tradition of men farming and women weaving. Even when the imperial court ruled Liangzhou, there was no textile industry here.
Most of the cloth and silk used by the princes and powerful people were transported from Sichuan and Guanzhong.
Since there is no textile tradition at all, there is no "impact on the rural textile industry". The woolen cloth and linen produced in Yinchuan soon occupied the entire Liangzhou, and the cloth from Shuzhong and Guanzhong was outnumbered.
They were defeated. If Liangzhou was not really suitable for sericulture, I am afraid that not even a small share of silk would be left.
Liu Yan in Shu and the powerful men in Guanzhong were very angry about this, but there was nothing they could do. In the past, Xiliang was really poor and had nothing. If you wanted to use good things, you had to buy them from outside. Now there are cheap ones.
As for alternatives, everyone naturally voted with their feet.
It was under this favorable situation that Chen Cheng suddenly became free. Now he only has to work in the office for half a day every day, and then he can go home. Mining disasters and production accidents still happen frequently, but whether it is Chen Cheng or others
People are almost numb to the dead.
It would be strange if there weren't a few accidents in a month. In the beginning, the officials of this world didn't care about the dead at all. Can those barbarians still be considered human beings? They are obviously just two-legged.
What a beast!
Chen Cheng was caught up in production management several times, but it only lasted a few days, and then he couldn't carry it out anymore. He couldn't bear it because he couldn't do anything more. He could only use more snacks in the government factory. But this way
For one thing, government industries are often not as good as those of private enterprises.
People can use their labor force to death, and the government still has some dignity. But the problem is not big. He plans to update the equipment in another year, which can improve the production efficiency a lot, and the quality of the product will be improved.
Competitiveness will also be greatly enhanced. Of course, in a few years, after the technology spreads, we will return to the original problems.
Therefore, this is only a temporary solution, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Chen Cheng thought about this for a long time and found that even if he cheated, it could only delay the problem but not cure it. In the end, there would always be an outbreak.
When coming out.
Faced with this situation, Chen Cheng could only comfort himself: Generally speaking, society is still developing. As long as it develops fast enough, it can always cover up many problems. If that day comes...
.Then he is no longer here, right?
Each generation has its own mission, and subsequent events will be dealt with by future generations. How powerful was Zhu Yuanzhang in driving out the Tartars and restoring China? Wasn’t it that the rules he established were broken within a few years? Anyway, it will always happen later.
Debris appeared.
When he is here, management is easy. When he is gone, there is no need to worry.
After thinking about it clearly, Chen Cheng had more free time. He was used to being busy, and once he had free time, he would feel a little panicked. It took him several days to adjust, and he could work half a day every day, and the rest
A happy life with all your time at your disposal.
Congratulations, congratulations.
After Liu Qian came back from school, she saw Chen Cheng playing the flute in the yard, and felt very strange. She walked up and quietly listened to the cheerful tune she had never heard before. After Chen Cheng finished playing, she asked:
"Master, what are you bragging about?"
"Flute."
"I asked what song it was!"
"Rouge makeup."
Liu Qian tilted her head and looked at Chen Cheng with strange eyes for a while, "Did you blow it to me?"
"Whatever you like to hear is played to you."
"What if I don't like hearing it?"
"If you don't like to hear it," Chen Cheng shrugged, pointing to Gulu who was eating horse feed leisurely in the yard, and said, "Then I'm playing it to him."
"Humph, I've heard of people playing the harp against oxen, but this is the first time I've seen someone playing the flute against horses."
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Then I'll play the piano for it tomorrow."
