In the first year of Yankang, it also came to an end.

And within the first year of Yankang, the temple undoubtedly showed an atmosphere that bordered on madness, no one was idle, from Sangong to Jiuqing, no one was idle, Situ Cao Cao was in Yangzhou, busy digging canals, Sikong Yuan Shao was busy transporting grain and grass for him, Xing Ziang was building a gallop road in Liangzhou, Yuan Shao also had to transport materials for him, and Jiuqing, most of them were busy with official studies, only Zhou Yu and Fa Zheng stayed in Yangzhou with Situ.

Taiwei Sun Jian, also did not have a quiet day, the northern army has gone to Jiaozhou, ready to fight, and the southern army is still dealing with the problem of Xizhou, and I don't know why, in the near future, outside Xizhou, there have been countless thieves, cavalry, looting everywhere, endangering the normal trade of Xizhou, and the trade between Anxi and Xizhou has been interrupted because of this, and the temple ministers are not aware of this.

Sun Jian knows some inside information, the Anxi Empire seems to have rebelled, and the two sides are fighting fiercely, which makes Anxi have a lot of defeated soldiers, and even the people, are outcast, become thieves, and cut off the east-west trade route, which has a huge impact on the Han Dynasty, Sun Jian is responsible for the conquest of the Northern Army on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also responsible for the removal of thieves by the Southern Army.

Fortunately, there are a lot of capable people under his account, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao are also generals who can fight well, he can also feel a little at ease, after he played with the Son of Heaven, he got the order of the Son of Heaven, it is necessary to return the trade to normal and cannot be interrupted, otherwise, the harm to the Han is huge, Sun Jian has no choice, those thieves outside Jiaozhou, there is no need to worry, mainly these thieves outside the Saizhou, he can only be more concerned about this aspect.

Sitting in the mansion, he stroked his beard and pondered.

"Taiwei Gong, I think, why don't you let the southern army go out to sweep up the thieves along the road, and make an all-out attack..."Chen Gong said, Sun Jian shook his head and said: "It's not difficult to get rid of the thieves, but the main problem is that as long as the rest is still at war for a day, then this road will not be calmed down for a day, and if it is cleared once, there will be more thieves, this is no way to avoid it, Your Majesty let us restore the trade route, this is impossible to complete..."

"They're already fighting... How is it possible that there will still be time to trade with us? ”

Chen Gong thought for a long time before he said, "Taiwei, I have a way..."

"Oh?"

"They're fighting, what's the most missing?"

"Soldier?"

"Yes, not only the soldiers, but also the ordnance, grain and grass, etc., we have no way to give the soldiers, but this ordnance, the Tai Lieutenant must also know that in the twenty-first year of Xiping, the armaments of the northern and southern armies have undergone the fourth change, and the ordnance that has been eliminated is now in the hands of the local border soldiers..."

"What does Chen Jun mean is that we sell those obsolete ordnance to the Sabbatarians?"

"Of course not, we're going to sell them the boots that the border troops have eliminated."

"Huh? Chen Jun, how many years have those ordnance and border troops been used, they are like rotten iron! How could they ask for it? Sun Jian asked with some confusion.

"Hahaha, they are fighting hard, and they want to send the farmers into battle, how can they care about the ordnance at this time? Even if it is a wooden stick, they will also use it, and these obsolete ordnance has been piled up and wasted, and can only be re-smelted, so it is better to put it into trade, and if we are going to trade with them, they will definitely protect our merchants..."Chen Gong said with confidence.

Sun Jian nodded and said, "There is some truth. ”

"In addition, it is along the road that we can build post stations, build strongholds, protect our merchants, and in the same way, we can also control these areas..." Chen Gong squinted his eyes and said the plans in his heart one by one, Sun Jian listened very carefully, nodding his head from time to time, Chen Gong said: "In addition, we can't sell ordnance to only one side, I think, whether it's rest or the rebels, we can sell it..."

"There are other supplies that we can also sell, and the harder they fight, the more we get..."

"The post stations built along the road can also recruit those exiled people and let them enter Xizhou, which is vast and sparsely populated, and the most lacking manpower is ..."Chen Gong said, Sun Jian listened, but he sighed and said: "I don't know how much money is going to be used for these, don't you know, Yuan Benchu these days... Ahem, in the temple, if anyone wants to play and needs to use the money from the treasury, he will almost beat someone... I can't stop him..."

Chen Gong smiled and said: "Building a gallop road and digging a canal costs a lot of money, and it is understandable that Sikong is like this, but this trade route is so important, if it is lost, the treasury will have one less source, as long as you can inform the benefits and disadvantages, presumably Sikong will not refuse...", Sun Jian nodded and said: "It can only be like this, those ordnance has been piled up for too long, and it is useless, just used to stabilize the trade road..."

"But if we sell to both sides, will it cause them to resent it?"

"Hahaha, what about their disgust, my Han Southern Army is not far away, before that, we have to let them know that the Han has the strength to help one side completely destroy the other, in this way, unless they stop the war and the alliance comes to confront, otherwise, it is impossible to do it at will, even if they know, they can only endure it, otherwise, it will be the destruction of the country and the death of the people...."Chen Gong said, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Taiwei Gong, do you want me to go to Sikong?" ”

"Hmm... Forget it, I'll go. ”

"Respectfully!"

When Sun Jian rushed to the door of Sikong Mansion and got out of the car, he heard a roar coming from inside, Sun Jian smiled helplessly, but still walked in, in the front yard, Yuan Shao was scolding an official in front of him, Yuan Shao almost jumped up, waved his hands, and almost hit the poor man in front of him in the face, the official was scolded by him so that he couldn't raise his head, and his whole body was trembling with fear.

"Can't you just send money and let Cao Cao buy it in Yangzhou?? I have to send it from Luoyang??! Yuan Shao roared angrily, letting the official go to get busy, and then turn around and go to other things, he didn't see Sun Jian at all, until the official reminded him, Yuan Shao turned around and looked at Sun Jian, Sun Jian was also startled by him, Yuan Shao's eyes were red, and the whole person looked a little tyrannical.

Seeing Sun Jian, he shook his head and calmed down, and the two of them sat down without saying anything.

"Wentai, you're here... I have already ordered the materials needed by the Northern Army, you don't need to urge, the Northern Army will replenish supplies in Jiangling, and rush directly from Jingzhou to Jiaozhou without going through Yangzhou..."Yuan Shao said, the whole person looked extremely tired, Sun Jian said helplessly: "Originally, I came to you this time, not for the affairs of the Northern Army...", Yuan Shao was stunned, raised his head, and asked: "What is that for?" ”

"Here in the West State, it might take some.."

"Nope!! No!! I don't have anything here!! Yuan Shao shouted, stood up, and was about to leave, Sun Jian hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Originally, about business, Xizhou business...", hearing this, Yuan Shao stopped, sat back in Fangcai's position, and asked: "What's wrong with Shangdao??" Sun Jian said: "Rest in the civil war, the business road is broken..."

Subsequently, he told Yuan Shao those suggestions of Chen Gong, and he said it very seriously, this time, Yuan Shao did not go berserk, after listening to Sun Jian's words, he frowned, and fell into contemplation, Yuan Shao thought for a long time, and then said: "Okay, this matter cannot be delayed, Shangdao has brought great profits to Dahan over the years, and it can't be interrupted, you make a comprehensive list first, and then send it to me, I will find a way..."

Yuan Shao said, Sun Jian nodded, and said, "Then I'll bother you..."

Yuan Shao was speechless and said, "I still have a lot of things here, so I will stay soon...."

Seeing Yuan Shao not far away, discussing with a few officials how to get money to undertake the activities of the Southern Army, for some reason, Sun Jian had some respect in his heart, "Originally! He shouted, and Yuan Shao turned around and looked at him.

"I'm tired of you..."

Yuan Shao ignored him and roared into the distance: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Go to my house and get the title deed!! ”

At the same time, Hua Xiong's book was also printed out of a lot of copies, and it became popular all over the world, Liu Xi did what he said, he asked officials everywhere to read this book, Nongsang is the most important, not to be slack, if there is neglect, it will be dealt with, Liu Xi's edict is indeed to make Hua Xiong's book circulate quickly, and most of the officials in the world have got this book.

In Luoyang, Hua Xiong's writings have also spread, the book is a good book, but the name, is not very acceptable to everyone, and Hua Xiong thinks different, these people, for the matter of agriculture and mulberry, do not care as much as Hua Xiong thinks, the assessment will test the agricultural mulberry, but this is different, the assessment of the agricultural mulberry, is to examine the scholars, when to urge the people to farm, in different seasons to do different things, is to let them persuade the agricultural mulberry, a little knowing, not let them go to farming in person.

Similarly, if the book written by Hua Xiong is to let the scholars learn how to urge the people to graze, maybe the scholars will like it, but what Hua Xiong wrote is how to graze and how to treat livestock. Therefore, Huaxiong's books did not circulate on a large scale among scholars.

At first, it was just curiosity, and it was only circulated for a while, and then it gradually disappeared.

In the locality, the book still played a lot of influence, the officials copied and printed the book, and sent it to the people, perhaps it was to explain to the people, this is the first case of the Han Dynasty, a group of people listened to the officials holding the book, telling how to graze, but also laughing and listening, many families, just enlightened children, will help the family to explain, Hua Xiong when writing the book, is written very easy to understand, of course, he can not write.

However, in the temple, the disdain of many local celebrities still greatly reduced the price of this book, and without their guidance, readers would not care.

In this regard, Hua Xiong also came up with his own way, on weekdays, he blocked in front of the palace gate, or South Street, holding a lot of books, as long as he saw the minister, he would forcibly stuff the book to the other party, and tired of explaining the important role of livestock for the people, he hoped that these people could help him publicize, can play a greater role, in the South Street full of nobles, often see Hua Xiong holding a book, stopping the minister, telling.

"Hua Gong? I saw you in Tingwei the day before yesterday, why are you here today? ”

"Hahaha, come, come, you don't have to worry about those, look at this book, I wrote, about livestock breeding, you also know, the huge role of cattle farming, you see, in the second year of Jianning, there was a cattle disease in Liangzhou, nearly 300 cattle died, and countless families were indirectly destroyed, in some places, the entire cultivated land was deserted, and some cattle raised were punished, Nuoda's family, there was only one, two could live..."

"Oh... It's very important..."

Hua Xiong stuffed the book to the other party, saw another minister, and left in a hurry, Daxian looked at the book in his hand, smiled disdainfully, looked at Hua Xiong who was far away, threw it on the road on the side, and left in the car.

When Hua Xiong arrived, he happened to see the book on the ground, he bent down, picked up the book, blew off the dust on it, looked around, smiled bitterly, hugged the book, and left here.
