Liu Bei finally left, facing the wind and snow all over the sky. Chen Cheng and Liu Qian, escorted by the guards, returned to Chang'an from a post station thirty miles away. After returning to the General's Mansion, the two went to see their two sleeping sons first, and then went to the study to talk together.

"I've found that science alone can't solve all problems." Chen Cheng threw a piece of firewood into the fire, looked at the dancing flames and said, "Although sociology and philosophy are not sciences, they are also very necessary. It is necessary to set up "Theory of Contract", "Theory of Contradiction", "Theory of Wealth", "Capital" and so on, otherwise it will be too difficult to change people's minds. ”

"Well, ......"

Liu Qian, who was working hard, was very excited, making a sweet sound from her nostrils.

"Shhh.......hhh Don't use your teeth," Chen Cheng pointed and said, "Science is powerful, but it must be convincing through real results, and it will take too long." Productivity and production relations are both very important, just like people have two legs, and it cannot be said which one is more important. As a normal person, of course, both legs are important. ”

"Hmm," the princess climbed up, finally feeling no longer empty, and let out a satisfied voice, "Oh! ”

"It is also necessary to change the minds of people. Although I don't study much about philosophy, well, I don't really do much about it, but at least it's much better than the people of this era. I don't like to argue with anyone, but since I'm in this position, it's important to make my point of view clear and let others know about it. ”

It was as if the waves were crashing against the reef endlessly, and waves crashed against the cliffs, one after another, and the flowers were broken and scattered all over the place. After a long time, Liu Qian's body softened, and she muttered; "I'm going to call Zi Jia'er, Diao Chan and Zhao Ji together!"

Chen Cheng came back to his senses from the pit of sociology and philosophy, and asked in surprise, "Why is your spirit so good today?" ”

Liu Qian got up and rinsed her mouth, and said with a smile: "Reciting poetry is really a very interesting thing, no wonder Master used to like reciting poetry so much." Well, I heard that Wei Li's younger brother Wei Zhongdao came to Chang'an, and I want to meet him in a few days to see what kind of person he is. ”

Chen Cheng ignored Liu Qian's nonsense, and the girl's mind was not easy to guess. Princess Wannian is a very special girl, and her head is often filled with all kinds of whimsical ideas, which makes him feel dumbfounded sometimes. He thought for a moment and jumped from the pit of philosophy to the god of war.

The processing difficulty of the "Napoleon cannon" is much higher than that of the "Tiger Squat Cannon", and you can cast more "Tiger Squat Cannon" first, so that you can achieve a greater advantage in the field. For the time being, only one "Napoleonic cannon" will be needed, and in the event of a battle it will be strengthened in the direction of the main offensive.

That way, it's not that stressful. After seven years, the population of Liangzhou has increased a lot, one is to get a lot of people from the Western Regions and the grassland, and the other is that after the people are full, there is nothing else to do at night, only making people is the most convenient entertainment activity, coupled with the rise of medical standards, the infant mortality rate has dropped a lot, so the population has risen rapidly.

When he first arrived in Liangzhou in the sixth year of Zhongping, the total registered population of the entire Xiliang was only 500,000, and now it has risen to more than 800,000. This is not counting the Qiang tribes and Hu slaves who live in the grass, just like no one knows how many Qiang people there are in Xiliang, and no one knows how many Hu slaves there are.

Not to mention the people who work in the mines, the rich Xiliang Haoqiang, and the ordinary wealthy families, like to buy some beautiful orchids to keep at home. The rapid rise in population has a lot to do with the exotic orchids. According to the current law of the government, as long as either parent is Han, the child born will automatically become Han. His parents also changed from "Hu people" to "naturalized Han people" and were no longer allowed to be treated as slaves.

In the past, although there were some mixed-race children on the Xiliang side, like Cheng Yi, there were not many after all. Now there are a lot of mixed races, and there are some unique tastes, I don't know where to get some blacks back, every day to make a big tart, there are also dark-skinned Chinese, so that the gentlemen who know these things are one after another, and sigh that the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient.

The sound of broken footsteps sounded, and Liu Qian walked in with the girls. They first bowed down, then Cai Yan played the pipa, Zi Jia'er and Diao Chan turned their sleeves and sang and danced. The pipa is plucked by Zhao Ji, and the sound is like a clear spring, and it is like a ring jingling, which makes people feel very pleasant and comfortable when they listen to it.

Liu Qian took a shallow sip of sweet wine, and then crossed it into Chen Cheng's lips. The faint aroma lingers on the tip of the nose, and what you hear, see, hear, and feel is all extremely pleasant. He temporarily put aside his consideration of national affairs, and at this moment completely emptied himself, allowing his body to act with instinct.

"Whew!"

The cold wind blew, blowing the curtain of the door, making a "brush-pull" sound. Tian Yu raised his head and glanced out, and then then put his eyes on the desk in front of him again. More precisely, on top of that thin piece of rice paper. He frowned and thought for a long time before he picked up his pen and prepared to write a letter.

However, as soon as the end of the brush touched the paper, he stopped. Because I thought about it for too long, the end of the pen stained with ink has become hard. Tian Yu sighed, put down the brush, and said to himself: "That's fine." ”

The second year of Jian'an was a year full of black memories for Gongsun Zhanjun. In the past few years, although the Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry was photographed back by the Hebei Army every time, at that time the Youzhou Army still held the initiative in the battle, and when it encountered the Jizhou Army, there was still a choice to fight or leave.

But from this year onwards, the initiative in the battle was transferred to the hands of the Hebei people, and Yuan Shao's army began to invade the land of Youzhou, doubling everything he had suffered back to the enemy. Although Gongsun Chan is still brave, Youzhou has been exhausted by endless wars.

The once huge cavalry group has now been reduced to the point where it can only look after the home. Even the world-famous Youzhou Turf will have no combat effectiveness when there is nothing to eat.

By this time, the imperial court had become Gongsun Zhan's only hope. Whether it is armor, weapons, medicine, food, war horses, cloth, and spirits, they are all desperately needed by the current Gongsun Chan army. Youzhou's war machine is already lying on its stomach, and if it does not import supplies from the outside, this war machine will soon rust and deteriorate until it is completely scrapped.

Zhao Yun, who guarded the annexation of the state, used to be a member of the White Horse Yicong, and had some incense with the Youzhou army, and was willing to provide some help to Gongsun Zhan's army. But after sending a thousand horizontal knives, two hundred steel armors, and forty thousand stone miscellaneous grains last time, the envoy also made it clear that these things were bought by the general and the state pastor themselves and given to General Tian.

Things are good things, whether it is a horizontal knife or steel armor, they are the standard weapons of the imperial court, and the quality is absolutely superior. Although multigrains do not taste as good as rice noodles, they can also fill the stomach. After Tian Yu got these things, he didn't keep them himself, but sent most of the weapons and armor, as well as half of the food, to Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Bogui had long had a headache because of the lack of materials, and Tian Yu didn't send many of these things, but he saw other hopes. Although Youzhou's financial and material resources have been exhausted, can you still get things from the imperial court? So he wrote to the court himself, and the lion opened his mouth without saying anything, and ordered Tian Yu to get more food and weapons.

Tian Yu was very disgusted by this order, he had a good relationship with Chen Cheng, and he had kept in touch all these years, but he never said that he wanted to rely on this relationship to benefit himself. Otherwise, he had already been edicted to enter the court the year before last, where would he stay in Youzhou?

He looked at the tip of the pen that had been frozen hard, sighed, and wanted to stop there, but thinking of those hungry soldiers with yellow faces and thin muscles, thinking of those colleagues who died on the battlefield, and thinking of Gongsun Zhan, who had the grace to support him, Tian Yu could only reopen the end of the pen and then write again.

This time, he did not ask Chen Cheng for something, but carefully described the current difficult situation in Youzhou, and asked Chen Cheng if there was any way to get the Youzhou army out of this situation. People of insight can see that now Youzhou and Jizhou have attacked and defended different positions, and if this continues, the Jizhou army will enter the hinterland of Youzhou in a big way.

After writing the letter, Tian Yu looked at it and sighed again. With his understanding of Chen Cheng, as long as this letter is sent, he will definitely send a lot of things over. However, the current situation in the Youzhou Army is really bad.

Due to the heavy snow blocking the road, Tian Yu's letter was delivered to Chen Cheng after the beginning of spring. was also sent to Chang'an, as well as a letter from Zhao Yun, the governor of the state. Chen Cheng read the two letters, thought for a while, and then decided to listen to what his officials thought about this kind of major event.

The next day was the semi-monthly meeting, and the officials of the provincial ministry gathered in the Weiyang Palace. These people's expressions are very relaxed, and they will laugh with each other after meeting. Under their rule, the imperial court flourished, and the situation in Guanzhong, Bingzhou, Henan and other places improved greatly, so that everyone did not have the sense of urgency and tension that they had in the past.

Steel and planks collided, heavy footsteps came from the back of the main hall, and two Xiliang dragons wearing heavy steel armor and their whole bodies were hidden in the steel stood still on the main hall, "The general has arrived!" ”

Chen Cheng then walked in, everyone stopped talking, sat down in their seats, and then said in unison: "Wait for the general!" ”

In the Han Dynasty, the three dukes could sit and talk with the emperor, not the kind of minister in the Song Dynasty when they could only stand and talk to the emperor, and it was not the Ming and Qing dynasties when the courtiers had to kneel when they saw the emperor. Chen Cheng himself hated trouble and complicated understanding, and expanded the scope of the "three solitary sittings" so that all officials who came to the meeting could sit on chairs.

At first, there were some people who objected, saying that it was not in line with the Han tradition. But after sitting a few times, I feel more comfortable sitting on the chair. If there is no way, who wants to kneel on the ground and take a "minion" in one mouth?
