"What kind of plow is this?"

After spending a morning wandering around the southern suburbs with Liu Qi, Zhang Song saw a lot of novel things.

From the cultivation of fields, to the regular layout of fields, to the water truck, everything gives Zhang Song, who has been in Sichuan for many years, a long time, a long time sight.

Except for Shujin technology, the other technologies in Yizhou were relatively backward in the entire Han Dynasty. The main reason was that the path was too dangerous and it was difficult to enter and exit.

After all, this is an era without media. It is too difficult to promote new knowledge and new technologies at the national level, especially in the era of wars where economic and political instability are instable.

Therefore, although the water truck has been in the industry for a while, no one has introduced it to use it in Shu, where news is relatively closed.

The curved plow brought by Liu Qi from Jingzhou is also very different from the farming tools used in Shu now.

"The plowers use animal power to carry it, breaking the ground in front and turning the soil behind. Compared with the dry land in the north, our land in the south is narrower and smaller, but the terrain is uneven. When ploughing, we often have to turn. The livestock belt plow is different from that of humans and lacks some flexibility. In this way, troubles will occur frequently when ploughing, which requires more effort on labor. The biggest feature of this curved plow is lightness and flexibility."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Song nodded slowly.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "The connection between ox plows is the most time-saving for the farmer."

Liu Qi led Zhang Song and others to patrol the roads in the suburbs, pointing to the newly reclaimed different types of fields and newly established vehicles beside him, saying: "Mr. Yongnian, as the imperial court's imperial patriarch, the first thing Liu had to do is not how to seize the city of Yizhou, but to think about how to make the warehouse in Shuzhong full, so that people will not starve or be frozen."

For some reason, it was just a simple goal, but to Zhang Song's ears, it was particularly exciting.

Starting from Liu Yan, and then to Liu Zhang, including the former governor of Yizhou, Xi Jian, each of them went to Yizhou, was to take over the authority of Yizhou, compress the living space of local tyrants, recruit soldiers and kill people, control power, and be called kings.

After all, Yizhou is a remote place, and it is very far from the Han court. The first thing that anyone who has come here thinks about is the separatist ruler.

But there are very few people like Liu Qi who first entered Shu to help develop farming and brought technology to Shu.

To a certain extent, most of the land in Shu was still in the hands of the powerful and clans, and the Qian people who farmed were only rich families. Liu Qi's approach not only made the official warehouse rich, but to a certain extent, it also enriched the wealthy families in Shu.

Especially families like Zhang, they undoubtedly benefit the most... because they have a lot of land in their hands.

Once the grain output increases, their annual benefits will naturally increase significantly.

"I gathered grain, opened terraces, built water trucks, farmed with fields, and farmers who had no fields, and I summoned them to open terraces in the official name. The refugees in the relevant fields were used as much as they could!"

Speaking of this, Liu Qi turned to look at Zhang Song and said, "The land in Shu is large, but there are still many fields that can be reclaimed and the population is sparse. As long as you want to do it, you will definitely be able to do it."

"And this is still in Jiangzhou."

"In the future, as long as the places like Bajun, Jianwei, Guanghan, Langzhong, and Jiameng can form a benign transfer, I will recruit people to open fields and expand farming in the name of the Prefecture. When the reclaimable terraces reach a certain number, Shuzhong will become a granary no less than Jizhou. Shuzhong has a vast land and a sparse population. Of course, the major families in Shu will also benefit from the increase in mass production. This is a win-win good thing, why not do it?"

Listening to Liu Qi's words like a cannon, Zhang Song couldn't help but remain silent.

"Now I know why I don't agree to repair it with Liu Jiyu? To be honest, he is just an obstacle to me right now, an obstacle to the prosperity and strength of Yizhou! Liu has to do a lot in Yizhou, but the premise is that I have to pull Liu Jiyu off the position of Lord Shu."

Zhang Song sighed and bowed to Liu Qi, saying, "No wonder since the king, father and son arrived in Jingzhou, they have been able to control Jingzhou into a land of prosperity in more than four years. Zhang Song admired it."

"It's not just Jingzhou, but also Yizhou's place, too! Liu has made up his mind to enter Shu this time... In three years, at most, I want to make Yizhou a granary that is not inferior to Jizhou in the north!"

These words were very certain, with a passionate tone and no falsehood at all, and they were very proud.

After inspecting the southern suburbs, Zhang Song accompanied Liu Qi to Jiangzhou in a carriage.

When the carriage was driving on the road, Zhang Song suddenly stood up from his seat and knelt in front of Liu Qi. He raised his hands above his head, knelt slowly in the car, put his forehead on the back of his hand, and went back and forth several times.

The space on the car was small and it was constantly bumpy, which was inconvenient to salute, but Zhang Song insisted on completing this set of etiquette.

Obviously, this is a process of recognizing the owner.

Liu Qi quietly watched Zhang Song give the gift, then reached out to help Zhang Song get up and personally helped him sit opposite him.

Liu Qi didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Song with a smile.

Zhang Song said with a serious expression: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, our Yizhou has been controlled by Xi Jian, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. Unfortunately, all three of them are not talented in governing the world. Xi Jian is greedy, Liu Yan is cunning, Liu Zhang is foolish and weak, and it is a pity that I am a great Yizhou. After these three people have been governing, it has long been no longer as prosperous as before. Now when we see the Lord, Zhang Song knows in his heart that those who can save our Yizhou in danger and make our Yizhou prosperous are not the Lord! Zhang Song recognizes his master here today and is willing to help the Lord complete his great cause. He also asks the Lord to accept Zhang Song!"

Liu Qi also said seriously: "I regard Mr. Xu as the number one hero in Shu. Mr. Xu is willing to help me. Liu saved Yizhou's great cause, even if he has completed half of it!"

After saying that, Liu Qi stretched out his hand, held Zhang Song's hand tightly, and said seriously: "If Yizhou is restored, I will ask Yongnian to help me take charge of Yizhou and prosper Shu. I will never let down my teacher's talent and life ambition."

Liu Qi's words were just right. He grasped Zhang Song's mentality of trying to make a name for himself in Yizhou and inadvertently painted a beautiful future and career blueprint for him.

As Zhang Song, who grew up in the shadow of Zhang Su, his greatest wish in his life is to stand at the highest point of the ministers in Yizhou, let them worship themselves, watch themselves, envy themselves... no longer despise themselves.

There is no doubt that if he really helped Liu Qi take over Yizhou, this wish would be fulfilled.

And according to the actual situation, Liu Qi must be far stronger than Liu Zhang in governing Sichuan.

After Zhang Song sat down, he thought about his words and said, "Your Majesty occupied Jiangzhou and wanted to pacify Shu. Along the way, he still had to seize more than ten important passes. There are many mountains and rivers in Shu, and there are many hidden villages. It is inconvenient to march, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to successfully capture these passes, you must spend energy and lose your troops."

"Can Yongnian help me?"

"Don't worry, the heroes in Shu hate Liu Zhang and his son. I will go back and contact them secretly, and find out the realities of the secret villages at various passes and inform them, and help them arrive in Mianzhu smoothly."

“So best.”

"However, even if you are helping Junhou to defeat Shu, there are still two important towns along the way. Even if Junhou knows the truth, it will be difficult to accept urgent attacks. One is Fucheng and the other is Luocheng. Please be careful."

Liu Qi nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Liu has recorded it."

"In addition, the urgent need for delays is that Junhou should come up with a solution to crack Liu Zhang's poisonous plan... I am afraid that he will use this plan. Once this plan is used, I am afraid that Junhou's army will be in danger of being buried."

"What's the plan?"

Zhang Song roughly explained Zheng Du's strategy of "strengthening the wall and clearing the country" with a serious expression.

Although Zheng Du secretly spoke to Liu Zhang, he could not resist Liu Zhang later asked someone to discuss whether the plan was available, so he leaked the secret.

Liu Qi suddenly realized.

If I remember correctly, such things have happened again in history. I remember historical records and someone has offered this strategy to Liu Zhang.

This strategy is equivalent to two strategies. Once Liu Zhang performs this strategy, the vitality in Shu will inevitably be severely damaged, the fields will be deserted and hungry people will be everywhere. Regardless of whether Liu Qi will be forced to retreat by Liu Zhang in the end, the overall strength of Yizhou will definitely decline a lot.

When Liu Qi entered Shu, he wanted to develop this place and cultivate it into a rifle and a large granary behind Jingzhou, rather than making it a burden to Jingzhou.

We must find a way to stop Liu Zhang from executing this strategy.

But what method should be used?

After some thought, Liu Qi finally came up with a solution.
