Ma Jun has been under Li Mu's command for just over a month, and the keel waterwheel, new loom, and silk loom have already taken shape.

If the keel waterwheel can be used in farming, it can save manpower to the greatest extent, and the land in Liangzhou can also support more people; The manpower saved can also be used for work.

Similarly, new looms and silk looms can be applied to handicraft factories in Liangzhou, which can not only save manpower, but also increase the output of cloth and silk brocade. In addition to meeting the needs of the people of Liangzhou, cloth and brocade silk can also be sold to other states and counties, and Liangzhou can also exchange them for a large amount of grain.

Liangzhou porcelain, Jincheng drunk, Mingju furniture, and Liangzhou handicraft products, in addition to being sold to other states and counties, also began to slowly penetrate into the Western Regions. However, Ming Xuan paper cannot be sold to the Western Regions, at least not yet. Because Li Mu attaches great importance to the development of handicrafts and commerce, the commercial income of Liangzhou for a year can be exchanged for the grain needed by the people of Liangzhou for a year.

Li Mu knew that during the war, food was more expensive than anything. Therefore, the surplus grain of the people of Liangzhou was purchased by the government. Li Mu also asked the Zhen family to come forward and purchase a large amount of grain at a high price from nearby Guanzhong and Hanzhong in the name of the Zhen family.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit! Prompted by the high prices in Liangzhou, the families in Guanzhong and Hanzhong also began to sell a large amount of grain. Li Mu did not refuse to come, as long as Liangzhou's finances could afford it, he would not stop purchasing grain.

From June 183, the Zhen family moved to Liangzhou, until late February 188. The shops of the Zhen family have fully penetrated into Dahan Guanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Bingzhou and other areas. Of course, half of these shops of the Zhen family are official properties in Liangzhou, and the Zhen family is just an agent in front of the stage.

In addition, Li Mu released news to Guanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Bingzhou and other places through the Zhen family's shop. As long as the people come to Liangzhou, each person can get one acre of fertile land and two acres of thin land free of charge. The effect of Li Mu's move was naturally immediate, and in less than two years, 100,000 people moved to Liangzhou.

With the Zhen family's shop as a cover, the intelligence network of the Fengying Agency in Guanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Bingzhou has been improved. As for the intelligence network of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, although there is the infiltration of the Fengying Agency, it is still not perfect.

Intelligence, whether it is for the general trend of the world or for marching and fighting, is crucial! The intelligence spying on Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Yan has become the top secret of Fengying, and only Li Mu and Xu Shu know about it.

Militarily, due to the Dunhuang County Yangguan, Yumen Pass, Xiaogu; Jiuquan County will be water, Shatou, and longevity; Zhangye County Wuwei, Zhaowu, Pu Qi, Zu Li; Anding County Sanshui, Quail; Ayang, Jieting, Longguan, Shangti, Hanyang County; Wudu County Sanguan, Gudao, Fuxian, Qiangdao, Luoyang; Longxi County Wangqu Valley, Baishi, Shicheng; The strategic location of Anyi City, Xidu City, Longqi, Mucheng Valley, and Dayun Valley in Xiping County is extremely important. In the above-mentioned places, in addition to renovating the pass city, Li Mu also sent troops to defend it. In case of the Eastern Expedition to Guanzhong, the resurgence of the Qiang people, Xianbei people, and Hanzhong soldiers and horses invaded Liangzhou!

Since Li Mu returned to Liangzhou from Chencang City, except for the time of sitting in the hall and inspecting, the rest of the time was accompanied by Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, and Bian Yu. Of course, Li Can, Li Shuo, and Li Huan, the three little milk bags, still need Li Mu, a not very competent father.

Li Huang and Li Ji naturally went to Liangzhou Academy to study. has the fame of Cai Yong, a great Confucian, coupled with Li Mu's strong encouragement and appeal. The people of Liangzhou, regardless of men, women and children, more and more people began to read and write.

If the youth is strong, the country will be strong! Children over the age of five in Liangzhou, whether male or female; Whether it is in a private school or an official academy, it is necessary to read and write. Li Mu just wants to let the Chinese people open up the wisdom of the people as soon as possible, everyone is like a dragon, and the people are stronger!

On February 26, 188, Bian Yu gave birth to Lin'er, and the mother and son were safe! Bian Yu cried with joy, and said to Li Mu vigorously, "Yu'er gave her husband and added a lin'er to the Li family......

Li Mu hugged the baby, feeling distressed and disappointed in his heart. These are all six children, all of them are little boys, he wants a little daughter, is it so difficult?

Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Cai Yan saw Li Mu's complicated expression, and they couldn't stop laughing, and they made fun of Li Mu vigorously. Li Huang and Li Huang saw the little baby, looking like a little adult, and sighed, "Siniang is still a little brother, when will there be a little sister......

Li Mu named his youngest son Li Xuan, which means that the child's life can be safe, bright and dazzling!

According to this era, Li Xuan is a concubine, and his status is naturally not comparable to Li Huang, Li Xuan, Li Can, Li Shuo, and Li Huan. However, in Li Mu's heart, of course, there is only one heir; But other children can't favor one over the other.

Li Mu hopes that as long as the idea of brotherhood and brotherhood is instilled from an early age, when this group of children reaches adulthood, the desire for supreme power in their hearts can be restrained by family affection!

……

However, it is said that on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Cao Cao left Luoyang City, traveled eastward through Yanshi, Gongxian, and Xuanmen Pass, and entered Yin Chenggao County, Henan.

Cao Cao saw that it was getting late, and he was tired and hungry. Cao Cao remembered the home of his old friend Lu Bohao, which was ten miles outside the west gate of Chenggao City. In less than two quarters of an hour, Cao Cao came to Lu Bohao's house.

"Is Gong Lu at home?" Cao Cao heard the sound of talking in the house, and then asked loudly: "The old people of Qian County are visiting!" ”

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, but is it Uncle Cao of Qian County?" After a short while, a young man opened the door and came out, followed by seven young men. The young man looked at Cao Cao and hesitated, "My father went to the city to buy wine, and he hasn't returned yet." Please come into the house and take a break. ”

"It's indeed Cao Cao below!" Cao Cao was stunned and said in surprise: "How does the little nephew know? ”

"Uncle Cao's reputation is far and wide, and women and children all over the world know it!" The young man saluted Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Besides, my father often talks about Uncle Cao, and my little nephew has already heard of it. ”

Cao Cao nodded, and followed the young man into the courtyard gate and into the house. The young man saw that Cao Cao was a little tired, so he asked someone to prepare food and drink.

Cao Cao devoured the food and wine, and then went to another room to rest. Just when Cao Cao was sleeping in a daze, he heard the neighing of horses. Cao Cao was shocked, drew his sword in his hand, and strode into the courtyard.

In sight, Lu Bohao's five sons, as well as three young men, were preparing to steal Cao Cao's horses.

"Wait for the damn!"

Cao Cao roared angrily and swung his sword at the group of young men. In less than a quarter of an hour, there were eight more bodies in the courtyard.

Cao Cao didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly got on his horse and walked out of the courtyard gate and ran towards the east!
