Chapter 200: Regret

On the Jingxiang Ancient Road, Liu Bei sat on the Rong car and looked at the scenery from far and near.

Although production has resumed now, it is still a depression after the autumn.

He played with an orange in his hand and sang a long song: "The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea." ”

"The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea......"

He is the white sun that is about to fall into the West Mountain, and the decisive battle in the Central Plains will be the last fighter.

"Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much."

"Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never ......be returned if it is not broken"

Singing these catchy poems, Liu Bei did not have much joy.

The decisive battle in the Central Plains is a gamble.

When he lost the crusade, he decided to give up, which was a very uncomfortable decision for him.

But Guan Yu mentioned it again, and naturally said it to his heart.

Even Tian Xin, who opposed the Eastern Crusade and insisted on fighting Guanzhong, began to support the decisive battle of the Central Plains.

The reason is too simple, not for anything else, but I don't want to have regrets for myself.

Perhaps Tian Xin is confident that he will clean up the situation after the defeat and will not be afraid of defeat.

Unlike Guan Yu, under his advanced age, he can't care about the future situation.

Zhuge Liang is definitely against the decisive battle in the Central Plains, but he still takes a step back, and he doesn't intend to fulfill himself?

On the way north to Xiangyang, Liu Bei was very emotional, and once wanted to deny the plan of the decisive battle in the Central Plains.

But when I think of Zhang Fei, I can't bear to refuse.

In the Orange Grove Pavilion, Tian Xin wore only a pair of boxers and danced a sword in the longhouse, and at this time, there were no craftsmen in the longhouse, and many curtains were arranged.

"Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and the general will inevitably die in battle."

"The dying sat up in shock, and asked with a smile where the guest came from."

Singing softly in Mandarin, no one can understand it anyway, Tian Xin danced the sword proudly, and there were 17 obvious scars on his upper body, and there were 17 arrow wounds, and there were countless imperceptible scars.

These accumulated scars and exploits have been honored, and there is nothing to care about now.

If nothing else, taking off your clothes in the barracks, this scar is the most morale-boosting.

Soldiers are certainly afraid of death, but even more afraid of being wounded.

After the sword dance, Tian Xin was in good spirits, put on his robe and came to the courtyard, Guan Ji was in front of the fence to feed the six uncles inside the tender bamboo, seeing the six uncles crawling towards the fence, Guan Ji turned his head to see Tian Xin come out, and stammered slightly: "Husband is awake?" ”

"I woke up early, I couldn't wait for food, so I had to come out by myself."

Tian Xin stretched out his hand and grabbed an uncle from the fence and held it in his arms, and said with a smile: "I have the secret art of beast control, if my wife is willing to bow to me, I will teach my wife." ”

When you meet a few times earlier, you can infect Guan Ji, and there is no consumption of places.

But since receiving the title of lord and princess, other people's titles are higher than their own, but they can't be infected.

Guan Ji said in a hard tone, staring at the lovely uncle in Tian Xin's arms, and squinting at Tian Xin: "Don't think about it, I am the princess of the Han Dynasty, and my husband and I should respect each other as guests." ”

"That's going to be hard...... Madame, do you think this little guy is so pestering? Tsk, look, stick out your tongue. ”

"I have no conscience, so I fed it all morning."

She held a piece of tender bamboo and poked the little guy in Tian Xin's arms, and asked, "Husband, Your Majesty should go to Xiangyang, when will I leave?" ”

Tian Xin handed the little guy who grabbed the tender bamboo in his arms and nibbled it into Guan Ji's arms, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the two bundles of tender bamboo that he had newly sent and threw them into the fence: "Look at the Wei army, if the Wei army retreats, you and I can leave at the end of the month." So far, His Majesty has not been recruited, so it can be seen that the Wei army has retreated. ”

Guan Ji picked up the uncle in his arms and threw it back to the left, and then threw it back to the west, as if he was angry.

As the sky gradually brightened, Guan Xing, Tian Yan and other nearly 100 teenagers and children of all sizes poured in and played around, which was fortunate for the six masters.

also worked hard for Guan Ji, and after the maid dressed her, she sat in the hall and dealt with the official document sent by Yang Yi with Tian Xin.

She is a person who can't sit still, and the sounds of play and coaxing outside the longhouse deeply attract her, and she wants to run out to play, but she is afraid of losing her etiquette, not to mention that she can't run when she goes out.

"This year, there are 1,800 hectares of military fields in Zhaoyangyi, most of which are paddy fields that are convenient for irrigation. Madame guess how much wheat will be harvested next fall? ”

Guan Ji tilted his head when he heard this, and picked up a handful of chips: "I'll calculate." ”

Tian Xin put pen to writing instructions: "The town where Nanyang is located is in the military tun, all order the autumn sowing wheat, spring chestnut planting, and rice with its soil." The use of both land and water should make the land unsparing and the soldiers have no spare strength. When the harvest comes, it can be used both publicly and privately. ”

Guan Ji looked sideways and observed: "Husband should really be a Maihou." ”

Tian Xin glanced at the scattered calculations in front of her, just smiled, picked up another roll of bamboo slips and read, this is the output estimate for next year estimated by Yang Yi and Pang Lin.

Just by glance, the total amount of wheat, chestnuts, and rice can be between 850,000 and 950,000 stones; In addition, many beans are not considered military food, but belong to secondary food, which can have about 100,000 stones.

The army consumed 50,000 stone of military rations in January and 600,000 stone a year.

If it was simply garrisoned, the actual consumption should be around 450,000 stones, and the shortage of 150,000 rations would be replenished by other collected food.

Finally, it will be self-sufficient, and by the year after that, the more complete the water conservancy facilities will be, the more sufficient the tools, and the more scientific and efficient the use of land and water conservancy, the grain of the current 1,500 hectares of land will reach at least 1.5 million stones.

Not for anything else, just because this is an irrigated paddy field.

However, the Tuhan people in Jingnan and Jiangdong often only planted one rice field a year, which could meet normal consumption, which made Tian Xin, who almost starved to death, very puzzled.

Even though there has been a shortage of grain in the past few years, officials in Jingnan still have not promoted wheat, and because of the limitations of rice varieties, no one has promoted or experimented with the technology of two crops in one year, or three crops in two years.

It seems that these officials are only there to govern the people, to levy troops, to collect taxes, or to drink tea with the powerful in the country.

Not only the Yangtze River basin, but also the Xuhuai region is also short of grain, still simply planting rice or chestnuts, and the development of agricultural technology is slow.

Unless the rice yield is reduced by a disaster, a crop of wheat will be planted in a hurry to ensure that there is food to eat in winter.

What's so bad about wheat?

Although the flour grinding technique is relatively backward, and the wheat cake is as strong as a baguette, it is really satisfying.

I'd rather eat a handful of chestnut rice than a bucket of coarse wheat.

I couldn't understand why wheat had not been promoted for a long time, so I had to come by myself.

Glancing at Guan Ji, who was grasping the calculations, Tian Xin took the pen and wrote two words 'known' on the bamboo slips, closed the bamboo slips and tied them, and put them on a wooden plate on the side, so as not to be seen by Guan Ji.

In Zhaoyangyi, Xiahou Ping led more than 100 knights but pounced.

Not only did he not catch Liu Sheng, but he also didn't catch Geng Jaw.

Bowang, Liu Sheng, and Geng Jaw returned north from more than ten horses, and Liu Sheng turned back from time to time, where was the camp where Zhang Bao was confined.

Before leaving, Zhang Bao refused to see him, and his attitude was already very clear.

stayed to challenge Zhang Bao's patience, Zhang Bao said that he would arrest them and send them to Xiangyang to ask for guilt.

Geng Jaw also looked back from time to time, feeling melancholy: "Childe, do you want to serve the Cao family?" ”

"Let's look at the situation first, I also hope that my father can succeed in the Northern Expedition."

Liu Sheng's face was similar to Liu Bei, and his smile was clear: "Being in the Cao family, it is still difficult to seal the marquis, how can I fall in love with the Cao family?" ”
