Li Ru has always thought he is very smart, but he still didn't expect things to take such a turn of the road. He said to Dong Zhuo, who was angry: "I knew that Huangfu Song would be transferred to Luoyang, and Gai Xun would also die of illness, so why did we send so many soldiers and horses to fight?" Now the opportunity is in front of us, but we are no longer able to cross the Yellow River again this year. ”

Dong Zhuo was still scolding, "He Jin is incompetent, Huangfu Song has made great achievements but is going to be transferred out of Guanzhong, where is there such a reason?" Lu Bu villain, stealing the position of the general of Zhengxi, he will lead his troops to defeat him one day! ”

Although scolding can relieve hatred, it will not help solve the problem. Bingzhou has been looted to the height of the sky, even if Dong Zhuo has a monstrous anger, it is impossible to replenish the soldiers and horses in a short period of time after two consecutive defeats. Now there are tens of thousands of Huns in Bingzhou, and there are also powerful people from all over the country who have built Wu forts in the mountains, and if they want to collect grain, they have to take the army down.

It's not so much to collect taxes as to go to the countryside to sweep up.

Just when Dong Zhuo was envious and jealous of Lu Bu, the people sent by Han Sui connected with Li Ru. Li Ru immediately reported the news to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhongying was surprised again when she heard this, "What? Lu Bu wants to join forces with me to deal with Xiliang together? ”

Li Ru said: "This is indeed what Han Wenyue's letter says. ”

Dong Zhuo has been hit one after another recently, and his heart is no longer as arrogant as before, he walked back and forth in the room several times with the letter, but he still couldn't make up his mind, so he asked, "Wen You thinks, should we join forces with Lu Bu?" ”

Li Ru spread out his hands and said, "Do we still have the ability to attack Guanzhong now?" ”

Dong Zhuo said very shamefully: "No." ”

"Then it's better to promise Lu Bu first, so that you may be able to get some food from him." Li Ru said: "In addition, the lord might as well send someone to Taihang Mountain, catch more people, and sell them to Xiliang." ”

"Taihang Mountain is Zhang Yan's territory, isn't that okay?"

Li Ru said: "Now that Zhang Yan's troops are trapped in Hebei, those who remain under the Taihang Mountain are just some old and weak, if the lord doesn't want to come forward, let Yang Feng of the Baibo Army do it, or let the Huns do it, and the grain in exchange for it will be divided equally between the two families." ”

"That's fine! Let the White Wave Thieves and the Huns fight the Black Mountain Thieves, and let's reap the benefits of the fishermen!"

At the time of the great changes in Guanzhong, the world is still sliding towards a more collapsed situation. The relationship between Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan continued to deteriorate, and the two sides had begun to expel each other's appointed officials and each other's soldiers and horses. After Gongsun Zhan defeated the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, he incorporated the young and strong among them, and won tens of thousands of soldiers. Liu Yu also recruited Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and there were more soldiers and horses under his command.

However, at this time, Gongsun Chan didn't want to completely tear his face with Liu Yu, Liu Yu was Youzhou Mu anyway, and he was Gongsun Baima's top boss. Born in a family, even if he is just a concubine who is not taken seriously, Gongsun Chan still wants to leave some dignity for the other party. After expanding the troops and horses under his command, he did not aim his troops at Liu Yu, but joined the competition for Hebei.

At this time, the strongest military group in the world was still the Luoyang Imperial Court under the leadership of He Jin. But the highest prestige is the Yuan family's Zhengshuo descendant Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shao is regarded as the new generation of the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu often says, "Yuan Benchu was just a little maid!" ”

In the crusade against He Jin, the most brilliant thing was the soldiers and horses of Sun Jian's department, and Sun Jian was Yuan Shu's subordinate. Any of Sun Jian's merits will be partly counted on Yuan Shu's head. In addition, Sun Jian recently easily set foot in the Nanyang Basin and forced back Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Yuan Shu's reputation has risen even more, and he has become the most eye-catching leader in the world.

Under such circumstances, after the attack on Hebei was frustrated, Gongsun Chan naturally sent people to contact Yuan Shu, hoping that the two sides could jointly deal with the political-military alliance of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Yuan Shao occupied most of Hebei, while Cao Mengde was backed by Yuan Shao and occupied more than ten counties in Dongjun.

The two sides joined forces several times and eliminated many enemies. In the process of becoming the Taishou of Dongjun, Cao Cao killed several superiors one after another, so that he could successfully include the entire Dongjun in his pocket. With the assistance of Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and a number of Yingchuan talents, Cao Cao's power expanded very quickly.

Zhongyuan was originally a prosperous and wealthy place, although it was broken a lot under the tug of war of soldiers and horses from all sides, but he still easily got a population of nearly 100,000 households and armed tens of thousands of troops. The Yellow Turban Army, which had just improved again, was wiped out by him, and even the Taishan thieves next door were defeated by Cao Cao several times, and now they dare not easily step into the territory of Yanzhou.

Yuan Shu stared at the Central Plains and Luoyang, and behind him there were also Liu Xuan, Wu Jing and other separatist parties, as well as Yan Baihu, who was "not controlled by heaven, earth and people". However, these people attacked each other, and they couldn't cause too much trouble to Yuan Shu.

When the outside world was disturbed, Xiliang was quiet. Since Song Jian became the king of Yue Yue, and was quickly pacified by Chen Zhijun, the princes of Liangzhou no longer had the strength and courage to fight against them. The once unruly Xiliang fierce horse has been tamed and obedient.

Since they have lost the courage to make trouble, some soldiers and horses have been cut in various places, and it is no longer a situation where tens of thousands of troops can be pulled out by a random county. When the number of troops is reduced, the money and food required are less expended. And when the number of the people increased, so did the output.

This year, Chen Cheng didn't come up with anything new, but just helped build more mills in various places, and then expanded the original factory scale, and then improved the textile machinery. Although the people are still very poor, most of them are basically fed.

And this is not just happening near Yinchuan, but in most parts of Liangzhou. On the east side of Helan Mountain, there are more than 10 textile factories. The price of the cloth produced is very good and cheap compared to the expensive Shu silk. Not to mention cheap, the effect of keeping warm is even better.

So much wool cloth was put on the market, but it did not "have an impact on the rural economic system". Chen Cheng had worried about this problem before, but after the actual investigation, he found that the situation was different from what he imagined. There was no large-scale cotton cultivation in this era, and the cloth was mostly made of flax, followed by silk.

The main production areas of silk are: Guanzhong, Shuzhong, Central Plains, Qilu, and Xiliang, and there has never been a tradition of male cultivation and female weaving. Even when the imperial court ruled Liangzhou, there was no textile industry here. Most of the cloth and silk used by the princes and the powerful were transported from Shuzhong and Guanzhong.

Since there is no tradition of textile at all, there is no "impact on the rural textile industry". The woolen cloth and linen cloth produced in Yinchuan soon occupied the whole of Liangzhou, and the cloth in Shuzhong and Guanzhong was defeated and retreated. If it weren't for the fact that Liangzhou was really not suitable for silkworm raising, I was afraid that there would not be even a share of silk left.

Liu Yan in Shu and Haoqiang in Guanzhong were very angry about this, but they were helpless. In the past, Xiliang was really poor, he didn't have anything, and if he wanted to use something good, he had to buy it from outside. Now that there are cheaper alternatives, it's natural that everyone is voting with their feet.

It was in this favorable situation that Chen Cheng suddenly became idle. He now only has to go to the office for half a day every day to work, and then he can go home. Mining accidents and production accidents are still frequent, but whether it is Chen Cheng or others, they are almost numb to the dead.

It would be strange if there were not a few accidents in any given month. In the beginning, the officials of this world did not care about the dead at all. Those Hu people, can they still be regarded as people? It's a two-legged beast!

Chen Cheng grasped the production management several times, but it was implemented for a few days, and then it could not be implemented. He couldn't bear it, but he couldn't do more, so he could only use more snacks in the government's factory. But in this way, the government's industry is not as good as those of private enterprises in many cases.

People can use labor to death, and the government still has to talk about face. However, it is not a big problem, he plans to build a new equipment in another year, so that the production efficiency can be improved a lot, and the competitiveness of the product will be much enhanced. Of course, in a few years, when the technology spreads, it will return to the original problem.

So this is only a palliative approach, and it does not solve the problem fundamentally. Chen Cheng thought about this for a long time, and found that even if he opened it, he could only delay the problem later, but it could not cure it completely. In the end, there is always a time to break out.

In the face of such a situation, Chen Cheng can only comfort himself: in general, society is still developing, as long as it develops fast enough, it can always cover up many problems. What if that day comes........ Then he's gone, isn't he?

A generation has a generational mission, and later things will be handled by their own descendants. Zhu Yuanzhang drove out the Tartars and restored China, how heroic? Didn't the rules of the establishment be broken in a few years? Anyway, when you get to the back, there will always be sediment.

When he was there, he was good at managing it. If you're gone, you don't have to worry about it.

After thinking it through, Chen Cheng had more free time. I'm used to being busy, and once I'm free, I feel a little panicked. It took him several days to adjust, and he lived a happy life of working half a day and spending the rest of the time freely.

Congratulations, congratulations.

After Liu Qian came back from school, she saw Chen Cheng playing the flute in the yard, so she felt very strange. She stepped forward and listened quietly to a cheerful tune she had never heard before. After Chen Cheng finished blowing, he asked, "Master, what are you blowing?" ”

"Flute."

"I'm asking what's the tune?"

"Rouge makeup."

Liu Qian tilted her head and looked at Chen Cheng with a strange gaze for a while, "Did you blow it to me?" ”

"If you like to hear it, it's for you."

"What if I don't like to hear it?"

"If you don't like to hear it," Chen Cheng shrugged his shoulders and pointed to Gollum, who was leisurely eating horse feed in the yard, "That's what it was blown to it to." ”

"Hmph, I've heard of Tsushima playing the piano, and it's the first time I've seen Tsushima play the flute."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Then I'll play the piano for it tomorrow." ”

“.......... Master, do you still know how to play the piano? ”

"Well, I've learned a little bit."
