The most desperate thing in the world is not to think about it but not to get it, but to gain and lose it. Personally formulated the Longzhong pair, watching it become a reality step by step, but watching it suddenly disappear, Zhuge Liang didn't feel the countless grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, Feng Yong felt that there was a chance that there were.

But what's the solution? As a minister, he could only silently clean up the mess left by Liu Bei. As the minister of Tuogu, as Liu Chan's father, the survival of Shu Han is now all over him, and he must do his best to protect the last fire of the Han Dynasty.

Ma Yan was silent, looking at the forty-two-year-old Prime Minister of the Han Kingdom, who had mixed his gray hair with his temples due to too heavy pressure, and his heart was gloomy for a while. Although he and the prime minister are called master and apprentice, they are really like father and son, and the relationship between the two is not deep. But now, he feels full of wealth, but he can't share a little pressure for the prime minister, and he is especially ashamed.

"The rebellion in Nanzhong, the clown ear jumping off the beam, is not worth a damn." Zhuge Liang opened the bamboo slip, swept it over, and said slowly, "Dongwu, a short-sighted person, don't worry. The person I am worried about is Cao Wei. ”

The local clan of Shujianzhou County (now Jinningdong, Yunnan) had long had different intentions, as early as a few years ago, he first killed Taishou Zhengang, and then captured Taishou Zhang, and attached himself to Eastern Wu. Eastern Wu appointed Yonghong as the Taishou of Yongchang (present-day northeast of Baochang, Yunnan). Yongchang City Gong Cao Lu Kai and Fu Cheng Wang led the soldiers and people to close the city gates, and at the same time set up troops to defend various dangerous places in Yongchang, so that Yonghong could not enter Yongchang. Yonghong instead sent people to persuade Meng Shu and various barbarian tribes to rebel against Shu, and joined forces with Zhu Bao, the Taishou of Qike (present-day northwest of Kaili, Guizhou), and Gao Bao, the king of Yi in Yueshan (present-day southeast of Xichang, Sichuan), and others. In June of the first year of Jianxing (223), the Nanzhong Rebellion broke out in full swing.

"Lu Kai and Wang are both loyal and righteous, and now Yongchang is hanging alone, in danger, why didn't the prime minister rush to rescue him?"

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly, "Why don't I want to send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible, but now, the country has a new mourning, there are not enough soldiers and horses, the equipment is not ready, and the foreign enemy is pressuring, what should I do?" ”

"What else? Naturally, as usual! Feng Yong jumped to his feet and scolded loudly, "Didn't I teach you a long time ago?" Two oxen are cultivated land, can't one cow be driven? ”

In Shuzhong at the end of May, it was getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the housekeeper went to the city and got back the ploughshare, and as for the iron pot, it was said that it would take some time, because the blacksmith was still trying to figure out how to achieve the requirements of Feng Yong's mouth that were both smooth and as thin as possible.

In this regard, Feng Yong expressed that he was disappointed with the industrial level of this era, and there was no better way. As for the small blast furnace steelmaking or something, not to mention whether it will be done, even if it is, but Lao Tzu can't even eat well now, how can he be in the mood to do this?

The final completion of the Quyuan plough finally did not delay the next summer ploughing. Feng Yong, as a landlord class, naturally could not lose his dignity and go to the field in person, so he could only stand on the edge of the field to guide. As the maker of the Quyuan plow, Ding Er became the first person to use the Quyuan plow. As he clumsily put the ox on a curl yoke, the ox on the side shook its head with wide eyes, as if wondering why it was the only one this time, instead of having a partner to pull the plough together, as in the past.

"Go as straight as you can, and try to see how deep you can get first."

As a crop veteran, Ding Er is still qualified. The curved plough is developed from the straight plow, and the two have something in common, after turning up a furrow crookedly, the second turn is much straighter.

Yes, Feng Yong nodded, although he was not skilled, he could already see that the curved plow was not only more flexible and easy to turn around, but also faster than the straight plow, and the turned up furrow also showed that it was much deeper than the straight plow. This is still in the case of not yet familiar with the use of the method, if you are more familiar with it, the speed will definitely be faster.

Steward Zhao, who was standing behind him, widened his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and he looked extremely excited. In the past, the plough required at least two people and two oxen, but now as long as one person and one ox are used, the speed of ploughing is even faster than before, which is simply a godsend for ploughing the land! He looked at the front and frowned at the main house in the field, and his heart was in a trance, why did he become more and more unable to see through this main house?

What are the three countries lacking the most? The answer is people, especially young men. No matter how many expert historians in later generations boast of the emergence of talents, there is one phenomenon that cannot be concealed, that is, the sharp decline in population. Even if you add the hidden population of the powerful landlord family, as well as the incalculable displaced population, it is impossible to hide the fact that the population declined sharply in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. You said that there are so many talents in the Three Kingdoms, why don't you think of a way to make people eat better and dress warmer? What's the point of fighting?

Only Feng Yong knew that this turmoil, which had lasted for forty years, would continue for nearly sixty years. And he knew that in the next time that Zhuge Old Demon was in power, he would continue to squeeze out the war potential of Shu.

The greatest influence was not on the landless tenant farmers, who had never had anything, or on the landed yeoman farmers, because they had been burdened with onerous labor taxes, but on the privileged local landlords. Their privileges will continue to weaken, and their interests will be constantly forced to spit out, such as money, food, and the population dependent on them.

Otherwise, a small Shu country really wants to let those powerful landlords lie on the country like Cao Wei in the north and Dongwu in the east to continue to suck blood, and they don't produce, what will Zhuge Old Demon take to the Northern Expedition? As for saying that it is possible to use the elites of local powerful landlords to govern the country like the other two countries, Zhuge Lao Demon said with a smile, it does not exist. With a money bag in his left hand and human resources in his right hand, he still wants to take control of the country again? What do you think you want to do? Do you want to let you become the emperor directly?

The course of history shows that Liu Bei and Zhuge Lao You's political vision is indeed right, foreign political groups control power, and local powerful landlords control the money, grain and population, which is a very dangerous situation. If the locals climb up and grasp the power, they don't need more, as long as a part, Shu doesn't want to say that the Han family is restored to the old capital or something, it would be good to maintain the status quo, and even as long as the foreign enemy comes, he can play GG.

Was the end of Shu weak? Weak enough that a team of several thousand people stood under the CD city and shouted twice, and the whole court could only surrender? No, it's just because at that time, the court of Shu State, after decades, was already full of local officials who climbed up from below, they could surrender to Wu or Wei, but they just didn't want to resist - fighting or something is the most annoying, always asking Lao Tzu to pay money and food to send people, and there is no return, and it is even thankless, what is the use?

In Shu Han, the privileges of the family are so few, and they have to bear the same burden as those Qianshou, and then look at the Wei State, which is really for the sake of the scholar family, right? It's better to go down directly, the official is still the same, the money is still earned, the land is still there, and you can continue to oppress those Qiantou, isn't that more wonderful?

So Zhuge Old Demon said that you spicy chickens, do you think I will let you go easily?

Although Feng Yong is considered an outsider, he can be regarded as a local root. If, in the turmoil of the next few decades, there are really not enough men to go to the front, and the work of ploughing the land can only be done by women, then he must take precautions from now on, and the zigzag plough that can plow the land with one man and one ox can only be regarded as the first attempt.

The experiment of the Quyuan plough was very successful, but it is a pity that the accumulation time of the farmhouse manure is too short and the amount is not enough, so this year's summer ploughing can only be as deep as possible to see if it can increase some rice yields.

Feng Yong stood at the head of the field, with a slight regret in his heart.
