Chapter 1397: Unconventional
What is the scariest animal in the world?
There is only one answer.
Person.
Whether it is a bird or an animal, if you eat something, you will spit out something, or if you don't eat something, and when you really open your mouth, you will swallow it all up with your bones and skin.
And when people eat other foods, they often pay attention to the way of cooking and the etiquette of eating, but when it comes to eating people, they often abandon all etiquette norms, leaving only the bloody side.
This kind of bloodshed has nothing to do with academics, and it has nothing to do with etiquette, the only thing that may be related is interests.
Because of this, Fei Qian is not very worried about Lu Bu, although at this point in time, Lu Bu is recruiting soldiers, and is trying to find ways to get close to the two big heads of the Taiyuan Shi clan, the Wang family and the Wen family, but Fei Qian has no intention of stopping it at all. Because what Lu Bu can give, he can also give Fei Qian, and Fei Qian can give to these scholars in Taiyuan, but Lu Bu may not be able to give it.
After all, Lu Bu had too few things on hand, and it was better to have a cake in his hand than to promise to eat ten million stones.
It's like this waterwheel in front of you.
Although there is a rare piece of flat land in the mountains of Taiyuan, which provides a suitable climate and soil for farming, there are more mountainous areas around the flat land......
With the waterwheel, more cultivated land can be cultivated on relatively suitable mountainous land!
For the craftsmen of this era, Fei Qian sincerely admires it, just talking about carpenters, there are no vernier calipers, infrared ranging and other instruments like later generations, and even with only an axe, they can cut and chisel, and even the wooden planks cut out can be smooth and straight, which is quite powerful.
And the waterwheel, under the hands of these craftsmen, is more and more similar to a handicraft, and some eyes even carved some auspicious patterns symbolizing the harvest on the pillars of the waterwheel, such as grains and lanterns......
Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of the Han craftsmen's affection for this kind of utensils that can improve people's livelihood?
Although the structure made of wood is a little clumsy, and the biting gears are still prone to rust and rot in a humid environment, even though they are reinforced with iron bars, they are not much related, and it is not difficult to replace and renovate, and the waterwheels used purely for irrigation are only important when crops need a lot of water to provide the needs for growth, and the rest of the time is idle, so it is not much trouble to replace the parts once a year.
There is also the inferior concrete produced from the Huang Workshop in Binh Duong, which is not very substandard, and cannot be used on the wall, so it is used to pave the road, which can still be largely intact on rainy days, and does not go down like a quagmire like a mud is almost the gospel of all kinds of dirt roads.
Today, there are roads from Binh Duong to Yongan and then to Taiyuan in the north, and two main trade routes from Hedong to Shangdang in the south, which are almost paved and promote the speed of the movement of goods.
These things are all made up of changes day by day after Fei sneaked into the main state and mastered the Taiyuan Shangdang, these changes may only be easy for farmers to think that the road is easier to walk and the fields are better to plant, but for the children of the scholar clan who have some vision, these changes are enough to attract attention.
Not to mention the water mill machine that caused a major change in the diet structure.
Jia Qu pointed to the ink on the side and said: "In the past, when the water was taken to grind the noodles, all the families of the Taiyuan Shangdang came together, and when they saw the trembling at the entrance and the lingering at the exit, they were all stunned and unattached. Since then, the water mill has been working day and night, making countless noodles. Today, no one wants to eat wheat rice, and everyone eats steamed cakes. ”
Originally, human or animal power grinding noodles, yield and consumption are always a big problem that plagues the evolution of diet, but water mills can be tireless, no rest, as long as the structure is not damaged, it can be grinded endlessly, which greatly liberates manpower and provides the possibility of mass production, so the pasta, which originally belonged to high-end ingredients, has gradually entered the homes of ordinary people.
"Lord, now that there is the benefit of the waterwheel, the party has newly opened more than 30,000 acres of cultivated land...... Jia Qu proudly pointed to the cultivated field that extended to the hillside, "Although the initial cultivation is insufficient, it can still produce more than one stone......
Fei Qian looked at the farmer who was busy preparing for spring plowing on the hillside in the distance, nodded, and affirmed Jia Qu's work.
Human beings and nature are always a matter of advance and retreat.
The woodland has been cut down to cultivated land, the birds and finches that had been in the forest have flown away, the wild boars that roam in the forest have disappeared, the tigers and leopards hiding in the grass and bushes have fled, and the intelligent wolves have gone even further.
What the?
Want to conserve soil and water?
Want to return farmland to forests?
Don't be kidding, it's not too late to talk about this kind of thing when the regime stabilizes and there is abundant grain production, and now is the stage when grain and grass reserves are urgently needed.
If we let the people who love the environment and protect animals go to the homeless people who are experiencing hunger and have green eyes to preach about protecting nature, not eating cats and dogs, and caring for animals and plants, I am afraid that it will not be long before the hungry homeless people will be torn to pieces, right?
Human beings must first ensure that they can establish themselves in the natural world before they can have the mind to take care of other animals and plants.
Fei Qian is the same, he must first ensure that his regime in the northwest cannot fall, so that he can take care of other people or other affairs.
This year's spring ploughing in Shangdang and Taiyuan is somewhat advanced, although there may still be the situation of the cold spring last year, but when the war is approaching, it can only take such a risk to plough first, after all, if the war really comes, I am afraid that some manpower will have to be transferred, so it is still necessary to prepare in advance.
Fei Qian not only brought these benefits to the people of Shangdang Taiyuan, but also brought war and death.
Maybe it's because he's been in a high position for a long time, or maybe he's seen a lot along the way, Fei Qian's treatment of human life has gradually been mixed with some Han concepts, and he won't be disgusted when he sees the corpse, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable when he is stained with blood, and even under the order, he doesn't feel any big psychological burden for the dead and injured......
Thinking that back then, just killing hundreds of thousands of white wave thieves, and eliminating all the leaders of the officers and military academies among the white wave thieves who could not be regulated in a short period of time, made Fei Qian hesitate for a day and a night, and now that he thinks about it, it seems a little ridiculous.
Is it easy to kill?
Why can it tolerate Black Mountain, but not White Waves?
It's just a matter of time and place.
At the beginning, what Fei Qian owned was only two or three places leased from the hands of Hedong Wangyi, and there was a dilapidated Pingyang, with no more than 3,000 soldiers, and less than five people, if it wasn't for the capture of those leaders of Bai Bo, what ability did Fei Qian have to ensure that these thugs who were stained with blood on their hands and were accustomed to looting could obediently pick up hoes and accept the transformation of society honestly again?
During the period of Zhang Yan in Montenegro, Feiqian and Northern Pingyang had been stabilized, and there was a large number of people in urgent need of land such as Yinshan, so they were much more tolerant of a group of people in Montenegro, and even those leaders were also used for the sake of Zhao Yun's face......
Then again, can these guys really find some good things to come back?
If you can grow sweet potatoes and potatoes in these mountains in front of you, it is a perfect match!
Fei Qian and Jia Qu walked all the way, inspecting the situation of spring ploughing and checking the terrain of the pass, and slowly had some plans in their hearts.
In this situation, it is time to take out some more killing weapons, and for this moment, I have also stored them in the Huang family's workshop in Binh Duong for a long time......
After all, Fei Qian didn't want to fight with Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu.
Cao Cao in history, although his strength was relatively weak at that time, but after solving the big-eared thief Liu Bei, he could fight against Yuan Shao without distraction.
If Liu Biao, or someone else, suddenly came out at that time and gave Cao Cao a knife in the back, I am afraid that history will be rewritten.
Therefore, there is no good fruit to eat with Yuan Shao, and Fei Qian does not want to drag the whole battle situation to the point of stalemate and desperate attrition, so he can only use some more unconventional tactics......
………………………………
Binh Duong City.
Inside the Government Council.
Xun Chen picked up the pen, approved a few words on the text, and then handed it to the officials waiting on the side, and solemnly explained: "Within seven days, it must be transported to Yinshan!" Otherwise, you will be severely punished! ”
The first two batches of items have been shipped, and this is the third and last batch of supplies to be shipped to Yinshan.
The official hurriedly agreed, took the text with his hand, left quickly, and hurried to Yinshan.
And the one that was transported to Tai Shi Ci in Hedong is also in place, and it must be almost assembled now.
In terms of the arrangement of personnel and generals, Ma Yue has returned to Yinshan to assist Zhao Yun, Zhang Ji went to Hedong, Zhang Xiu went to Shangdang, and Guanzhong sent Ma Yan, Chen Gong, Chen Hao and others to press forward to the area of Tongguan and Shaanxi County......
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
For the plan formulated by Fei Qian and Xun Chen before leaving, Xun Chen personally agrees, after all, there is still a gap between Shanxi and Shandong, and it is not enough to consume Shandong, so he can only adopt a strategy like this now, so that the Shandong Shi clan knows the pain, even if it is a little contrary to benevolence, but compared to the problem of survival, it seems that it can only be put aside for the time being......
Although the Xun family is also a family of scriptures, it is not as pedantic as the Confucians of later generations, or in other words, there are still a considerable number of Confucian children in the Han Dynasty, who can still carry a knife on the horse and put pen to paper.
It was only after the upward and downward effects in the back, after suppressing Wu Xun again and again, that a large number of people said that Kong Chengren and Meng said that they would take righteousness, and then they advocated that they should have backbone and integrity, but they felt that they could not easily give up their good heads, and that Wen Tianxiang and a few others could really preserve their backbone. However, many Confucian disciples chose to kneel and lick when foreign invaded, and then called it a good bird to fold the wood and a good minister to choose the master.
There is nothing wrong with benevolence and love for the people, convincing people with virtue, and surrendering soldiers without a fight, but in most cases, love, politics and diplomacy cannot solve all problems, and it is only said that it can rely on strong force.
Politics and diplomacy make sense when they are backed by strong force. It's like a crooked future generation, clamoring for green today and blue tomorrow, and as a result, even the people under their own rule are like watching a farce, and their government has no prestige at all.
As the largest institution of the entire Shanxi political collective, the Zhengxi General's Mansion has the only role of showing the strongest force in the face of threats!
In this regard, Xun Chen still has confidence in Tai Shici and Zhao Yun.
Although the general of Zhengxi had also used saddle horseshoes before, they were still controlled within a small range, and this time, in order to give full play to the strong cavalry strength under Zhengxi, and in order to ensure the victory of the entire strategic layout, Fei Qian and Xun Chen decided to replace most of the cavalry with these two things.
And these two pieces of equipment, in the process is not complicated, take the horseshoe as an example, it is just a bent iron sheet plus a few small iron nails, and such a thing can ensure that the war horse in a long-distance run, greatly reduce the probability of injury to the horse's hooves, enhance the ability to continue fighting.
Although it is said that large-scale dress-ups will inevitably cause technical leakage to some extent, but for the current Fei Qian, the three major horse farms of the Han Dynasty have already been counted as two, and the remaining horse farm in Youzhou and Hebei has been consumed by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, so it can now be said that the war horse, a unique strategic resource, if the Han war horse is divided into ten, Fei Qian controls at least six or seven percent of it.
Therefore, even if these two technologies are eventually copied by others, it will not be of much use.
As for the Hu people outside the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei in the north of Yinshan Mountain is already completely crippled, and the Southern Huns do not dare to think carefully after the second split, Xiqiang with the cooperation of Li Ru and Ma Chao, only escaped back less than half, and the vitality is greatly damaged, and now the only Hu tribe that still has some strength is left, and only the two Xianbei tribes of the Kirbineng tribe and the Budugen tribe are gathered in the northern part of Yanmen Dai County.
Therefore, Fei Qian's cavalry advantage can still be maintained for a long time.
Xun Chen was the only one who had no confidence, but was the general Zhengxi in Shangdang Taiyuan......
Although I have also seen the general of Zhengxi, Fei Qian, practice martial arts, but I have heard that he can only use a flat gun in one move, which is ...... Well, even though most of the time the general Fei Qian did not need to go into battle, but in the face of the huge number of Yuan Shao's Chinese army, Xun Chen was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, there is a rather unstable Lu Bu......
I hope the lord doesn't need to go into battle himself.
Probably not, right?
Xun Chen shook his head, picked up his pen again, lowered his head, and began to approve the administrative affairs that were piled up like a hill on the side......
