Chapter 143: Farming and Fishing Simultaneously
"What, the coach of pets was assassinated!" Lei Xu's butt, which had just sat firmly, jumped up as if it was burned by fire.
As the highest military official in charge of the public security of Jinling, the political center of Yangzhou, Lei Xu has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and there are too many people coming from all directions in this Yangge Festival. It is really difficult to find alien elements in it.
After repeated rewards, Lei Xu concentrated his limited manpower to investigate the man in his prime, but he did not expect that the assassin was actually a woman.
"The whole city is searching for a suspicious person, no suspicious person must be let go!" Lei Xu roared and hurriedly ran towards the place where the accident happened.
It seems that the sword that Sun Shangxiang said was poisonous. Gao Chong's eyes gradually became blurred and his body was shaking. In the haze, he only saw Lu Ti's pretty face like a rainy crabapple. In those concerned eyes, crystal tears were pouring out.
"I'm fine--." Gao Chong uttered these words with difficulty.
"Shao Chong, don't talk, take the life-extending pills in this jade bottle first." If it doesn't matter, it's a mess. Lu Tixian, who was in a state of excitement, took out a jade bottle from his arms with trembling hands.
However, just after just one or two sentences, Gao Chong's lips had turned purple and black, and the poisonous gas began to invade the heart, and his feet could no longer support him.
Lu Ti's strength could not hold Gao Chong's heavy body at all. She could only barely lean Gao Chong's head on her knees and pour out the pills. But at this time, Gao Chong's lips were closed and he was unconscious.
In desperation, Lu Ti didn't care about shyness at this moment, so he put the pill on his cherry lips, put it on Gao Chong's mouth, and kissed it in one mouth. The kiss was gentle and soft, and for a long time. Lu Ti's pretty tongue opened the Pengmen and moved the pill into Gao Chong's mouth bit by bit.
Lu Ti is shy by nature. Most of her jokes are Gao Chong's initiative. This time, she kissed Gao Chong in public. Although she was eager to follow the rules, she also made her pretty face red with shame.
When Lei Xu arrived, he saw Lu Ti and Gao Chong kissing each other for a long time. He respected each other and raised his eyebrows together. He was a purpose pursued by husband and wife since the Han and Wu implemented Confucianism. Even if a man and a woman in love were intimate, he would be left in the deep boudoir where no one saw it. Although it was so openly intimate like Lu Ti and Gao Chong, he was also suitable for challenging the customs that had been passed down for more than a hundred years.
Life and death, never leaving, holding my hand and holding my old age with me, in Lu Ti's heart at this moment, as long as she can save Gao Chong, she can bear no matter how much grievance she has.
All around, soldiers who arrived first had already blocked the entire venue in case of assassins committing another assassin.
"Madam, how about the handsome guy?" Lei Xu rubbed his hands, looked at the scene, and asked either, but he was anxious if he didn't ask. Finally, when Lu Ti looked up, he asked.
"The coach is poisoned. The general is about to take him to the clinic. If it is too late, it will probably be too late." Lu Ti's eyes were sad, and a strand of black hair was covering her eyes. At this time, she no longer had the mood to tease it.
"Come on, send Chongshuai to the clinic! The rest of the people followed me to search for assassins." Lei Xu shouted loudly.
In the clinic, Hua Tuo was busy back and forth, completely ignoring the dozens of eyes behind him. On the bed, Gao Chong's eyes were closed, and a fog that could not be seen appeared on his pale blue face.
The holy-handed doctor, Hua Tuo, has now become the hope of saving Gao Chong. It took a long time before Hua Tuo stopped and turned around with a serious expression.
"Yuanhua, this handsome guy's poisonous injury is fine!" Lu Su asked nervously.
"Why is it okay? It's a blessing to invade the heart and invade the five internal organs. It's a blessing to be able to survive half-death." Hua Tuo replied without raising his head, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Pamper your favorite man--!" Hua Tuo's words came out, and everyone was shocked and lost their voices.
"However, in my hands, Hua Tuo, no matter how powerful the poison is, there is a way to deal with it." Hua Tuo said proudly, ignoring the surprise and joyful expression on everyone's faces.
Musha, who was sitting in front of the bed, stood up and asked, "Sir, can you save this poison?"
When Hua Tuo saw that Musha was asking, his expression was solemn, saying, "Fortunately, Mrs. Lu saved her heart meridians in time. Now I have sealed the acupuncture on the acupuncture on Chongshuai's body. As long as I can take the medicine on time and take care of it carefully, I will be cured in almost half a year."
"More than half a year?" Musa asked.
Hua Tuo nodded and said, "This is the most optimistic estimate. If there is any change in the meantime, the recovery process will have to be extended-."
Spring sowing and autumn harvesting are the busiest time of the year. The people of Jiangdong have begun to sow seeds for the cultivated fields. This is their hope for the year.
In order to promote grain production, under the leadership of Lu Su, the seven counties of Yangzhou (Jiujiang, Lujiang, Wu, Kuaiji, Yuzhang, Danyang, Luling) and Jiangxia County and Jingnan County, all issued three measures to ensure the farming season, people's livelihood, and reduce taxes. At the same time, Lu Su also made some changes to the military farming policy of first splitting the official cattle* and private cattle, stipulating that any strong man in the family who participated in dredging rivers could be adjusted to four private cattle. In addition to standing troops, the soldiers stationed in each county reclaimed land and planted on the ground in the form of military camps. The implementation of this series of measures greatly mobilized the people's enthusiasm for production.
Agricultural agriculture is the foundation of solidifying soil. The person who is responsible for agricultural affairs is the resident of Cang Ci. He has been very busy these days and has just been freed from the busyness of renovating rivers in winter. After a month of rest, spring sowing began. This year, the scope of land reclamation in Jiangdong has far exceeded that of previous years. With the continuous influx of refugees moving south, the number of resettlement villages has also expanded rapidly from the Huai River in the north and Lingdong in the south. Correspondingly, the matter Cang Ci is responsible for is much more complicated than in Yuzhang.
Fortunately, in addition to the staff of the Ministry of Agricultural Supervision, Cangci also has officials responsible for agriculture, and special personnel are responsible for the selection of seeds, measurement of fields and the use of agricultural tools.
On this day, Cang Ci came to the prefecture palace excitedly to see Gao Chong, who had just recovered. This time the poison injury caused Gao Chong's vitality to be severely damaged. Although the poison had almost gone away, this time lying down triggered the fatigue accumulated after going to Jingzhou, which made his body recover very poorly.
"Master Cang, if you have any important matters, just report it to Master Lu. The health of Tongshun is not yet good." Musa stopped Cang Ci in the main hall. She didn't want anything to cause Gao Chong's condition to recur at this time.
Cang Ci smiled and replied, "Madam, I have told Lu Xiang about this matter. He wants me to come and report it to the coach as soon as possible."
"Oh, is that a good thing?"
"Yes, it is a major event that concerns the livelihood of the people of Jiangdong in the future." Cang Ci responded.
In the backyard, Gao Chong was able to get up and do some simple activities. At this time, he was following the "Five Animal Play" movements taught by Hua Tuo, imitating the postures of tiger pounce, bear buoy, deer stretching, ape jumping, and birds flying, exercising the limbs and muscles, so that the internal organs can be fully regulated, so that the whole body can achieve the state of "harmony between man and nature".
When Gao Chong learned that Cang Ci was asking for a meeting, he took action and finished adjusting his breath, and then let Cang Ci enter the study.
Cang Ci bowed and said, "There is good news. The craftsmen in the Agricultural Supervision Commission invented a new plow as a plow tool called tread plow. Compared with the original straight plow, this plow can be used directly to plow out of the ditch without the help of the ox."
"So, you don't have to rely on the savings of food to cultivate the ridge." Gao Chong asked.
Cang Ci nodded and said, "For the sake of caution, I have tried it in Qua and other places in Danyang County. As long as the people who plow the fields have a considerable strength, the ditches that are straight and deep are suitable for the survival of seeds."
When Gao Chong heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Xiaoren. Have you repaid this for Zijing?"
Cang Ci smiled and said, "It was Lu Xiang who asked me to inform the coach. Lu Xiang ordered me to ask craftsmen to make a large number of this new type of plow before the end of April, so as to put it into use as soon as possible."
Gao Chongxi said: "The land in Jiangdong is full of hills and there are few flat slopes. If you use straight plows, you must have plowing oxen, which directly affects the number of wastelands reclaimed. The plow developed this time solves this problem. Well, if a plow can be developed, it will save more effort for the ploughers, and then maybe women can farm instead of men."
"The idea of "Pengshuai" may be realized. I seem to have heard the craftsmen in the prison mention this idea!" Cang Ci's eyes moved, as if he had thought of something, and said.
"I just said it casually, Xiaoren took it seriously!" Gao Chong said with a sneer.
After Cang Ci left, Gao Chong was particularly energetic. This was the first time he had quietly calmed down to pay attention to people's livelihood plans. Food is a stable pillar. The army has no food and is unstable, and the people have no food. If you want to consolidate the foundation of Jiangdong, you must first make the people full.
In the past, due to Sun Ce's harassment and heavy pressure, any food and grass obtained from the military farm was first transported to the army without exception to deal with the war. Now, the Sun family's power has withdrawn from Jiangdong, and the war in Jingzhou is basically stable. Gao Chong's top priority is to improve the relatively backward economic foundation under his rule.
"According to the current conditions, rice cultivation can only be ripe every year. It would be great if there were ripe rice every year! In that case, the food and clothing of the people would be completely guaranteed." Gao Chong murmured to himself, and this thought suddenly flashed out of his mind, and then shook his head again. From March to April to the end of September, the entire rice growth period was the whole period, and the rest of the time was not suitable for crop growth because of the cold weather.
On April 10, 2018, Jian'an, inspired by the news that Cang Ci discovered the plow, Gao Chong was ready to recover and was able to walk, so he rushed to the Agricultural Supervision Office to observe the development of agricultural tools. At the same time, Wei Jing, who served as Qian Tangling, also proposed another way to wrap the people's belly.
"Wei Jing's method is really feasible. There are many lakes in the east of the Yangtze River and rivers. Since ancient times, the people have been eating rice and fish, fishing, hunting, mountain cutting, and fruits have always been enough. If they can be determined to use fish to fill the tax in the form of government orders, it will not only give the people more time to put it on the farming season, but also prevent the people from starving in a short time." Wei Jing's opinion was quickly transferred to Gao Chong through Lu Su, and fully affirmed this plan.
Gao Chong said, "But although this fish is good, it is difficult to store for a long time and cannot replace food."
Lu Su laughed and said, "People who is from Wujun. I don't know if I still remember this. During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Helu of Wu led his army to invaded Dongyi and chased the invading sandbanks in the sea. After a month of stalemate, the food was exhausted. The wind was surging and the food was unable to be transported. The king of Wu chased the sea to eat the fishing fish and dried the excess fish. After returning to the army, he fed the ministers with it. It is said that the taste is very delicious. In the Wu and Yue area, the people still passed on this method according to this method."
"I won't say it, but I forgot that my mother used the method of pickling fish to overcome the famine. I still remember the feeling I felt when I thought about it now." Gao Chong said with a smile.
"If Tongshun agrees, I will appoint Wei Jing as Haicheng to be responsible for coordinating the fishing and production in Jiangdong." Lu Su advised.
"Zi Jing has considered that since Wei Jing can put forward such an idea, he should be a talented person." Gao Chong nodded and agreed.
While Gao Chong vigorously developed the Jiangdong economy, the situation in the Central Plains was getting more and more urgent. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were like two barbarians with red eyes gambling. They had no other choice except to defeat their opponents.
The six kingdoms are the genius of Ying Ruoji.
On April 13, the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao had no worries after learning that Gao Chong was assassinated and was unable to afford to suffer any illness. He then adopted Xun You's plan to attack the east and west, and personally led the main force to the Yanjin Ferry, pretending to show the decisive battle between the north and the north.
Regarding Cao Cao's move, Yuan Shao's adviser Ju Su once advised Cao Cao to use his troops to be cunning and to defend first and not to act rashly. Yuan Shao refused to listen and relied on his superiority in his troops and divided his troops to the west to try to find the enemy to fight. However, Cao Cao attacked the white horse with light troops, and took Liu Bei's brother Guan Yu as the first step to face Yuan Jun Yan Liang's troops who broke into the south bank of the Yellow River.
More than ten miles away from the White Horse, Yan Liang saw that the White Horse Guard Liu Yan had been unable to defend the enemy, so he felt arrogant and underestimated the enemy. He never thought that he would suddenly encounter Cao's army.
Guan Yu, who was well prepared, saw Yan Liang's commando from afar, shouted and rode his horse into the enemy's formation. Among the thousands of horses, Yan Liang, who was unprepared, picked him down and killed him and returned. Seeing that Guan Yu was so brave, the general Yan Liang was killed, they were all shocked and collapsed. After succeeding with one blow, Cao Cao ordered Liu Yan to move the people near the Baima and retreat westward along the Yellow River.
