The curved shaft plow, the cow nose ring, and the white picture are also prepared to be dedicated to the Han Dynasty—to be precise, they are dedicated to the world.
This kind of thing that changes people's livelihood and helps everyone have enough to eat should be cherished as a broom...
Although it would help Bai Tu accumulate an advantage over the princes of the world, Bai Tu could not do it.
Therefore, as Lu Lingqi said, Bai Tu was slightly unhappy, but it was not hesitation.
Of course, it still needs to be kept secret for a few months. Before dedicating it to the Han Dynasty, Bai Tu must at least purchase a group of buffaloes in Jiangdong as official cattle for farming and leasing them to common people who do not have cattle.
In addition, Bai Tu recently assigned a new task to the Ministry of Industry - well digging tools, which were based on the tools used in the Northern Song Dynasty that could dig wells tens of feet deep.
When there is a slack time for farming, Bai Tu plans to organize a wave of deep well digging in the northeastern part of the Yangtze River, in case a severe drought in Huainan will spread to the east of the Yangtze River.
At the same time, Gan Ning had also arrived in Danyang City.
The resistance encountered during this period was minimal. After all, there were almost no troops of Yuan Shu in Danyang County, only the "Han Army" nominally controlled by powerful families.
The previous governor of Danyang was Zhou Shang recommended by Yuan Shu, and the Danyang family also half-consciously recognized Yuan Shu.
However, this "recognition" was very limited. When news came that Yuan Shu had defeated Jiangdong and Gan Ning came to take over with real swords and guns, they had no intention of resisting on Yuan Shu's behalf.
For Gan Ning, he understands the thoughts of these aristocratic families - after all, he himself is from a Shu County aristocratic family!
Among the sixteen counties in Danyang, Gansu and Ningxia actually divided and garrisoned troops. Only the more important and more populous counties in the north were Wanling, Moling, and Digang near the river. Later, he personally stationed in Danyang City as the governor...
As for the magistrates of other counties, they basically still perform their respective duties. After all, if you want to change them, there are no candidates for the time being!
Regarding the former prefect Zhou Shang, Bai Tu had also told Gan Ning to treat him with courtesy. It would be better if he could invite Qu Alai, but if he couldn't, don't force him.
Zhou Shang was not Yuan Shu's confidant to begin with. He had previously sent Bai Tu a group of manpower, so he might not be his enemy.
However, Zhou Shang did not give Gan Ning a chance to persuade him. When Gan Ning came to Danyang City, Zhou Shang had already left in advance, and the handover materials had been laid out in the office. It seemed that he had no intention of causing trouble for Bai Tu, but he still
The more optimistic one is Sun Ce.
After Danyang settled down a little, Gan Ning received another order from Bai Tu through Cheng Ji.
"Farming? Is there such a shortage of food? Forget it...the new army can still train well anyway." Gan Ning muttered unhappily.
Bai Tu's order already included an explanation of the "Tuntian" decree, and through Cheng Ji, the decree had already indicated special effects.
Although Gan Ning didn't understand Bai Tu's intention, he still made preparations intensively.
Bai Tu also specifically emphasized that when Gan Ning was stationed in the fields, both military and civilian camps would be deployed. However, for the military camp, only the 5,000 Huainan surrender troops brought with him would be used. As for the new recruits recruited locally in Danyang, they should still concentrate on training.
On the other hand, Chen Gong and Zhou Tai led their troops to regain Wu County and when they advanced to Qiantang, they were blocked by Yan Baihu's younger brother Yan Yu!
The Yan family is also a wealthy family in Wu County, but it has a more nouveau riche character, and they originally despised the rules and had good relations with many bandits in Wu County. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they directly used their wealth to raise troops and colluded with Wu County bandits.
Separate the territory of Shishan City and Baihu Mountain.
Two years ago, Sheng Xian, the former governor of Wu County, resigned due to illness. Because the court's control over the local area was already extremely weak at that time, Xu Gong, who came from a local wealthy family in Wu County, had to be made the governor.
After Xu Gong took office, he first removed Sheng Xian's old subordinates, and then secretly cooperated with Yan Baihu to free Wu County from the control of the imperial court!
Otherwise, they are just a group of bandits, and they will not cause harm to a county. In name, Xu Gong is now "intended to kill the bandits, but unable to save himself." But in fact, in history, after Sun Ce defeated Xu Gong, there was even a prefect who sought refuge with him.
A thief's farce...
It was precisely because of Sun Ce's impatience that he executed Xu Gong after pacifying Jiangdong, but was assassinated by his disciples.
But now that Chen Gong has come with Bai Tu's righteousness, he doesn't have to think too much. As long as Yan Baihu is eliminated, the aristocratic family in Wu County doesn't dare to make any big moves in the open.
Yan Yu is a younger brother of the Yan Baihu clan. He is known for his bravery under Yan Baihu's command.
The attack on Wu County was led by Chen Gong, but Lu Bu did not come, giving the newly surrendered Zhou Tai a chance.
After Chen Gong tested Zhou Tai in private, he directly appointed him as the commander of another department, commanding a thousand cavalry - not the Bingzhou cavalry, but the captured Huainan cavalry.
"Commander, Yan Baihu's bandit army seems to have some skills." Zhou Tai said while looking at the defenders on the tower.
"Yan Baihu, known as a bandit, is really powerful... But now that Bai Gong's army is at its peak, other powerful families may not be willing to join forces with them. We only need to defeat him in a few battles, and Wu County will be able to decide." Chen Gong said.
Yan Baihu was also bold and dared to take a gamble. He directly jumped out to be the "spokesperson" of this powerful Wujun family, and obtained benefits in Wujun that far exceeded the Yan family's power. But now after the battle in Qu'a, the powerful Wujun family has collectively lost its voice.
, this "spokesperson" has become a decoration.
"Is this Baizhou Mu's general Chen Gong below the city?" Yan Yu, with a rude look on his face, shouted from the Qiantang tower.
"If you are talking about the prefect of Wu County, then it is Gong. If you want to surrender, Gong can spare your life." Chen Gong didn't understand how he, an honest man, became a "general".
"I am Yan Yu, Chen Gong, the first general under General Hu. I will go down to talk to you alone right now. Do you dare to retreat from the army and talk to me alone?" Yan Yu shouted.
"Why don't you dare?" Chen Gong said, and then whispered to Zhou Tai beside him: "Youping comes with me."
At the foot of Qiantang City, Chen Gong was seen retreating the army, and under the protection of Zhou Tai, he took a few steps forward.
Upon seeing this, Yan Yu also jumped down from the tower, and the engine sprayed out, eliminating the impact.
At the same time, the city gate opened slightly, and two soldiers ran over and set up a canopy to protect the sun from the sun, a small table and two futons in the open space.
Yan Yu, who had a sinister face, looked at Zhou Tai, who looked like an iron tower, and felt slightly shuddered, but he just smiled and said: "Hahaha, Chen Gong, who defeated Yuan Shu in Qu'a City, is so brave.
…I am seeking an audience, not to ask for a fight, but to defuse the conflict, so it’s okay if I don’t bring this military talisman.”
As Yan Yu said this, he put away his armor, then took out the gilded military talisman, and showed off his feelings intentionally or unintentionally, and then asked the soldiers around him to lead him back to the bottom of the city tower.
Seeing this, Zhou Tai also took back his armor and called his own soldiers to return the military symbols.
Yan Yu discovered that without the armor, the height difference between himself and Zhou Tai seemed to be even greater!
"Master Chen, Zhou Mu may have had some misunderstandings about my commander-in-chief before. In fact, my commander-in-chief is a first-rate loyal minister to this big man..." Yan Yu said something that he himself did not believe.
"So Yan Baihu is ready to surrender? Then disperse the thieves and go to Qu'a to plead guilty. Mr. Bai will make his own decision on right and wrong." Chen Gong said with an unchanging expression.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, this is just a joke! My commander-in-chief has the merits of protecting the country and the people, how can he be excused?" Yan Yu said displeased.
"Oh? What does Yan Baihu mean..." Chen Gong asked frivolously.
"If Baizhou Mu and Master Chen are not to be put in trouble, the thirteen counties of Wu County will be divided into four counties south of Wu County, and the other will be called Wucheng County. My family's commander-in-chief has one Wucheng Prefect, which is enough." Yan Yu said.
"Ha, are you kidding?" Chen Gong said with a smile.
Yan Yu suddenly glared at Chen Gong and asked, "Master Chen...have you ever heard of Lin Xiangru?"
