Chapter 344: To the Giant Deer
Liu Xian sometimes really feels a pity, if he travels back to this Three Kingdoms era when it happens to be the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, then Liu Xian feels that he can't miss so many talents.
But if it is a year late, it can only miss out on those famous Three Kingdoms strategists and generals in the Hebei region.
If Liu Xian can catch up with this situation, then Liu Xian can also form a righteous army, and then grow rapidly and rapidly. Reasonable or not, first collect some advisers and generals.
Now, those military generals are basically famous.
However, among all this information, it is not useless. There are some of them that Liu Xian can still fight for.
Liu Xian's eyes were on the news and intelligence about Tian Feng.
Regarding Tian Feng, Liu Xian had been staring at him for a long time, because he and Liu Xian could be regarded as fellow villagers, both of whom were giant deer people. Moreover, Tian Feng and Kong Rong are similar, they are not used to seeing traitors in the court, and they are deeply disappointed in the court, and they both resigned and returned to Tian during this period.
Originally, Liu Xian was not too anxious about Tian Feng's affairs, because this time after Tian Feng resigned and returned to Tian, he did not become Han Fu's subordinate until 191. There were still several years left for Liu Xian to find him and convince him to work for him.
However, if you can find him as soon as possible and convince him to use it for yourself, it will naturally be the best, Liu Xian is really short of available talents.
Julu County, leading 15 counties. Liu Xian's Xiatao County is just one of them. In fact, Julu County is a large county, and in the past, the Julu County Government was located in Diantao County.
According to a news intelligence office, Tian Feng should be a native of Pingxiang, Julu County. Pingxiang County is located directly south of Julu County and west of Guangzong County.
Coincidentally, after Tian Feng resigned and returned home, the Yellow Turban Army had been defeated, and Pingxiang County had also been recovered by the government. However, at that time, the situation in Pingxiang County was similar to that of Yangshi County, or even worse, and the surviving people there were basically starving.
The upright and selfless Tian Feng was naturally very sad when he saw the displacement of the people in his hometown and the miserable situation of the villagers. At that time, Huangfu Song had already reappointed the county magistrate of Pingxiang County and reorganized the government of Pingxiang County. However, at that time, Huangfu Song paid more attention to the war against the Yellow Turban Army, and he didn't have the energy to deal with it at all. Therefore, those people are basically in a state of self-destruction.
Those newly appointed county officials, even if they want to save the local people, are powerless. After all, food doesn't come out of nowhere. For those county officials, their newly rebuilt government is indeed poor and white, and everything is waiting for the imperial court to allocate food for disaster relief. But these have been mentioned in detail earlier. The imperial court will only care about the war against the Yellow Turban Army, and will not take into account those ordinary people. The food of the imperial court, even if it is supplied to the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, is a little difficult, even those righteous soldiers, the imperial court can't take care of it. Under such circumstances, where does the imperial court have food to help the people of the world?
This is not just a problem in Pingxiang County, but related to the people of the entire Han Dynasty. The places that were affected by the impact of the Yellow Turban Army were not only Jizhou, but all states in the world could not suffer the same degree of disaster. If the imperial court really wants to send food to help the refugees, then it can't just be Pingxiang County. Under such circumstances, the imperial court would not have thought of taking out a grain of grain to help the people.
Tian Feng saw that he was anxious in his heart, and in order to help the people, he scattered all his family wealth and bought some grain at a high price from some landlords and tyrants to help the people.
Tian Feng is an upright and self-disciplined person, and when he was an official in the court, he did not have some gray income like ordinary officials. His family wealth is actually the income earned by officials in the court in recent years.
The little grain that Tian Feng bought alone was certainly far from enough, and it could not solve the food crisis of the people in Pingxiang County at all.
There was no way, Tian Feng had no choice but to use his reputation to run around and try to get food.
At the beginning, Tian Feng used his local fame and prestige as an official in the imperial court to persuade the wealthy families in those places to take out some grain and give porridge to the people.
Ordinary wealthy families will see that Tian Feng was indeed a court official, and they have some relationship with the court, so they did take out some food to help the people. However, even if this is the case, it is only a drop in the bucket and does not solve the basic problem at all.
In addition, because most of the rich families who have surplus grain, they also hide their grain, and they easily dare not say that they still have surplus grain. These are similar to the situation of Yang Jie's landlords and tyrants in Yangshi County at that time. They just have to squeeze it out to get out that little bit of food.
Therefore, the amount of porridge they give out every day is extremely limited.
In Pingxiang County, there are still many people who have not been able to receive porridge and food every day, and many people will starve to death every day.
There was no way, Tian Feng had to borrow from those rich landlords. Using his reputation as a guarantee, he also wrote IOUs to the rich landlords, so that he lent out the grain.
Speaking of which, Tian Feng's food relief for the people of Pingxiang County is somewhat similar to Liu Xian's method. It's all white. It's just that Tian Feng is an honest man, and he really plans to repay the IOU he made in the future, but he is not like Liu Xian, who can get so much food without spending a penny of his own money in the end, and even in the end, he can make a fortune.
In the final analysis, Tian Fengcai is a real kind-hearted person, not as "cunning" as Liu Xian.
Later, the Pingxiang County government also came to borrow a batch of grain from Liu Xian, which finally alleviated the food crisis of the people in Pingxiang County. In addition, Pingxiang County also learned from Yang's County and tried to find ways to buy grain in other areas, so that the people of Pingxiang County could barely restore the normal order of production and life. Of course, Pingxiang County naturally cannot be compared with Yangshi County, and the current situation can only be said to barely starve to death, and the people there are still living in dire straits.
It is estimated that at the very least, it will be necessary to wait until the spring ploughing harvest is in place before the situation can be truly alleviated.
Now Tian Feng's situation is very bad, extremely bad, because the grain he has borrowed and the money he owes has far exceeded his ability to repay. You must know that he has resigned from the office, and without the court, he has no financial resources at all.
Fortunately, everything Tian Feng did in Pingxiang County was seen by the people, and the government was also seen in the eyes. What Tian Feng did in Pingxiang County also reached the ears of Huangfu Song. In this way, Huangfu Song intended to recruit Tian Feng as an official, and if Tian Feng agreed, then the grain money owed by Tian Feng to those landlords and wealthy households could be borne by Pingxiang County.
But that's it, the rest, under normal circumstances, Tian Feng may not be able to repay it for the rest of his life.
If it weren't for the protection of the people, and the government would also protect him, then Tian Feng would probably have been forced into debt by those landlords and rich households.
Now, Tian Feng is very likely to be called by Huangfu Song and will be an official again.
Liu Xian made some conjectures about these news and felt that it was indeed possible. Historically, Tian Feng is very likely to be an official in his hometown government for a period of time, but it is very likely that after Huangfu Song was deposed as the pastor of Jizhou, Tian Feng will lose his official position again.
didn't run away, Liu Xian decided to return Tian Fengshou to the account as soon as possible, and didn't let him learn for so many years.
Liu Xian was worried that Tian Feng would agree to Huangfu Song's call, and decided to catch Tian Feng before Tian Feng agreed.
Immediately, Liu Xian entrusted the construction of the city to the people below, and let Cai Yong, Liang Ji, Huang Zhong and others watch. Liu Xian has already planned the construction of the city, so they only need to do it step by step.
Then Liu Xian took Huang Wudie and Yi Ji, who felt a little bored, and of course ordered a hundred cavalry and three hundred caravan guards to escort them, and immediately set off for Pingxiang County.
Although it is said that the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Julu has long been pacified, some bandits and robbers have also been exterminated by the way. But Liu Xian didn't dare to be too careless, no matter at any time, his own safety came first, even if he was already a third-rate military general and had a certain ability to protect himself. But Liu Xian always believed that with soldiers and horses at hand, things could be done more smoothly.
Liu Xian traveled through Liulin Village, this, from Liulin Village to the north, Liu Xian has been to many places, and even to the western Liaoning region outside Shanhaiguan. However, from Liulin Village to the east and south, Liu Xian really hasn't set foot yet.
Liu Xian went to look for Tian Feng this time, and by the way, he went to meet Julu Taishou Guo Dian, and then went to take a look at the county seat of Xiatao. At the beginning, Liu Xian's father, Liu Kui, was demoted to the king of Xiatao, and there was a palace of Xiaotao in Xiatao County. However, it was confiscated by the imperial court a long time ago, and now I don't know if there is still a pottery palace. Whether there is it or not, Liu Xian plans to take a look.
There was no need to prepare, Liu Xian didn't even prepare any gifts for Tian Feng and Guo Dian, he directly ordered all the characters, took the soft on the road, and set off immediately.
As for Yi Ji, Liu Xian found that she was actually still a girl, although she was smart and knew a lot of things, but she couldn't settle down. In fact, her brother has already opened their Yi family's grain and rice shop in Yangshi County, and plans to open it in other counties. Anyway, wherever Liu Xian has inns, restaurants, and shops, he plans to open there. I have to say that Yi Ji's brother is still relatively shrewd, which is dependent on Liu Xian, he opened a grain and rice shop in these strange places, which is generally more xenophobic and strange, which really saved him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in these places.
If an outsider does not have a certain background and dares to invest in something, he will basically be eaten by others. You know, in this ancient era, there was no commercial protection law.
Yi Ji can actually help her brother do something, but she just went to see, and after a little understanding, she returned to Liu Xian's side. For her, it seemed much more interesting to follow Liu Xian. Of course, this is also the relationship that her heart has been tied to Liu Xian.
Jizhou Hebei, during the spring ploughing, the weather has changed significantly, but it is actually quite cold.
Yi Ji and Huang Wudie are both riding jujube rouge horses, and the two girls are competing in riding.
Not to mention, in terms of horsemanship, even if Yi Ji has no martial arts, she is no worse than Huang Wudie. After all, Huang Wudie had never ridden a horse before when she was a child, but Yi Ji knew how to ride a horse since she was a child.
Liu Xian chased after the two daughters, and he was also familiar with riding.
Here, what I want to say is that the Yi family specially gave Liu Xian a snow-white war horse, this horse is extremely miraculous, and it is more miraculous than the horse that Gongsun Chan selected for Liu Xian from the army. The horse given by Gongsun Zhan, Liu Xian gave it to Huang Zhong, and he rode the horse sent by the Yi family.
The horse given by the Yi family, Liu Xian liked it when he saw it.
This horse is up and down, snow-white, without half a hair, and snow-white. According to Yi Ji, this horse actually has a history, it was her father Yi Kai who saved some aliens when he went west to merge with the state to do business, and then these aliens gave him a pony in order to repay Yi Kai.
The horse is now grown up and more and more powerful. Yi Ji named this white horse Yuya, which means that this horse is as snow-white as jade, and it is extremely elegant and noble.
In fact, this horse was originally famous, and it was the night jade lion.
Well, that's right, this is Zhao Yun's war horse.
This can be on par with the red rabbit horse, which can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night, and come and go like the wind.
Now it has fallen into Liu Xian's hands, which makes Liu Xian have to have some associations. Liu Xian guessed that in history, Gongsun Chan married Yi Ji, so the horse fell into the hands of Gongsun Chan, and then Zhao Yun voted for Gongsun Chan and saved Gongsun Chan's life, and then Gongsun Chan gave this horse to Zhao Yun.
Of course, this is just Liu Xian's conjecture, and it is unknown whether this is the case. Liu Xian also planned to give this horse to Zhao Yun when Zhao Yunyicheng came down the mountain and came to Liulin Village to look for his brother Zhao Jun.
Racing horses with the two women all the way, talking and laughing, soon arrived outside Julu County.
Julu County is still in full swing, and it has not relaxed because of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army. This is probably because Guo Dian has learned a lesson, but he doesn't want to have another accident in his nest.
Also, even if it is Julu County, it is actually not very far from Montenegro. If it is said that the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro marched in the mountains and operated to the mountains northwest of Julu County, and then came out of the mountains, it would only be about a day's journey from Julu County, and it could be killed under Julu County as soon as it opened.
In this way, Liu Xian arrived in this Julu County City, which was strictly guarded by soldiers, and was vigilant against people entering and leaving, and would interrogate some people from time to time. In addition, at the top of the city, which is 20 to 30 meters high, there are also soldiers patrolling back and forth, keeping an eye on pedestrians inside and outside the city.
Liu Xian came to the city with more than 400 men, which naturally made the officers and soldiers of Julu City nervous.
