Chapter 274: Cotton
On the second day, Jiang Wei finally met Zhao Hao under the leadership of Wang Xi.
What surprised him slightly was that Zhao Hao did not sit in the house waiting for his arrival, but squatted on a wasteland on the outskirts of the city, staring at a strange plant in a daze.
Those plants seemed to be a kind of flower, and they looked snow-white from a distance, but Zhao Hao's face was not very happy, maybe he didn't like this rare thing a little.
"The last general, Jiang Wei, see the champion Hou."
Zhao Hao raised his head and said with a smile: "I've always been with Boyo, and this time I finally have to meet ......."
He pointed to the plant in front of him and said casually, "Does Boyo know what this is?" ”
"Uh......"
Zhao Hao really didn't pay much attention to politeness as the legend, so that Jiang Wei had prepared a night of politeness had no room to play, he swept his gaze, stared at it awkwardly for a long time, and said: "This seems to be a thing called cotton, and I don't know who planted it here."
If the champion Hou doesn't like it, the last general will burn him. ”
"Don't!" Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "This is a good thing!" ”
He picked a cotton, held it in his hand and watched it for a long time, and said in amazement: "This thing looks inconspicuous, but it really has the ability to save all the people in the world......
Hey, it would be nice to find these things before the heavy rain. ”
Zhao Hao had already obtained a lot of cotton seeds, and was trying to find a place to try planting, he described to others what the cotton looked like after flowering, and some locals brought him here, saying that there were rich people in this kind of small area to watch before, but this thing has not been found to have any effect except for ornamentation.
Planting cotton ornamental?
Zhao Hao couldn't cry or laugh, so he hurriedly brought people over to watch it together, and told his subordinates that in the future, this crop would be promoted in Tianshui, Longxi and other places.
Even if you snatch some of the planting area of food, you must plant it!
"Champion Hou, what can this thing do?" Jiang Wei couldn't help but ask.
"As you can see, it's called cotton, a very ordinary thing.
But after he has been spun, he can make a coat that is strong enough to withstand the cold wind, although it is not as effective as fur, but it is cheaper. If such a thing can be promoted, everyone will be able to have a cotton coat in the future, and so many people will not freeze to death in winter. ”
Jiang Wei couldn't understand this kind of absurd thing, but he looked at the big and small officials who followed Zhao Hao with a natural look on their faces, and secretly said that his knowledge was already shallow to such an extent, and he didn't know the well-known things.
No, if it's known, why hasn't it been promoted, but it's here for people to see?
"When I was under Ma Zun's account, I heard that the champion Hou Shanzhan was invincible, but I didn't expect you to be so proficient in civil affairs."
Jiang Wei searched his intestines and scraped his stomach before finding a sentence praising Zhao Hao, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"War is just an extension of civil affairs, and with adequate logistical support, we can continue to win.
Although our soldiers are not afraid to die, as a commander, I don't want them to be tortured on the battlefield, if I can provide them with better conditions, I will do it, and I hope that each of you will do the same in the future. ”
He rubbed the cotton and said, "The quality of these cotton is average, and I have better seeds, which will be distributed to you along with wheat seeds.
In the future, we will ensure that the people of Ji County will plant a wide range of wheat and cotton, and next year, I will evaluate your work according to the harvest of wheat and cotton, and I ask you to work hard. ”
Originally, the officials of Ji County had undergone a major change of blood under Yin Xian's suggestion, although it was inevitable that there would be nepotism, but Yin Xian did show good work talents, so that the Han army could be seamlessly connected in Ji County.
These officials were all recommended by Yin Xian, most of them were from the poor family and civilians, they all wanted to show their talents in front of the new master, and quickly said that they would do their best to do their best, and they would let Zhao Hao see their achievements next year.
"It's good to be determined, but I know that many people will think of some bad ideas when they don't complete the task, or after I make a request, you will add tasks to your subordinates and make many unreasonable demands.
This was no problem in the previous imperial court, but in my jurisdiction, I don't want to see anything like that. ”
How dare a few newly appointed officials refuse, and hurriedly said yes, although the wind in early autumn was cold, but several people were sweating profusely, and hurriedly put up their stomachs of calculating thoughts.
"Okay, after other things are taken care of, I would like to ask Berjo to tell me in detail about the battle situation at the front - you are a witness, and you must be more true than a letter when you say it."
Jiang Wei nodded and said, "It's time to tell the champion Hou about the battle situation in detail......
Zhao Hao and Jiang Wei went back to the house together, and Lu Yusheng, who came on a panda, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then sat quietly beside Zhao Hao and spread out a small notebook, looking at Jiang Wei expectantly.
"Boyo wants to be more careful, I have to record the things along the way, and compile them into history books in the future, so that future generations can have a good understanding of what happened in our era."
A little girl writes history books? Jiang Wei muttered a little in his heart, but he still spoke according to Zhao Hao's request.
His eloquence is good, starting with Wang Ping and Ma Tan's blocking of Zhang He, that battle was extremely thrilling, Wang Ping and Ma Jian really tried their best to block Zhang He's iron army, and the Beiwei army also paid a lot of sacrifices.
Lu Yusheng listened to a pair of small fists clenched tightly, although he knew that the battle was won, he was still sweating nervously, almost out of breath,
It wasn't until Jiang Wei said that Ma Jian used a trick to lure Xiahou Ru deep and used gunpowder to injure him and reverse the battle, that the little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's scary to fight." Lu Yusheng muttered, "There are many battles in the history books, are they all general? ”
"That's nature!" Zhao Hao sighed, "Back then, Wei Qinghuo went to the sick to defend the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, and led countless Han men to fight bloodily, walking in the desert and sleeping in the wasteland.
At that time, there were no saddles and stirrups, a thousand-mile march, and a great battle with the Huns, who were good at horseback riding, the difficulty can be imagined, but in the history books, the general's exploits are only a few faint strokes, a few shallow numbers.
How many good sons bury their bones in the yellow sand, but in the pen of the literati, they can't compare to the anecdote of drunken shooting stones, it's really ...... It's sad. ”
Lu Yusheng pouted and said: "I will write in detail, not only the top, but the truth, so that future generations will know how powerful and great our back army is-
Big brother, you will also shine through the ages in the future, if you have any mistakes, I will also write them into the history books, you must not do anything bad. ”
Seeing Lu Yusheng's serious appearance, Zhao Hao couldn't help but rub her head again, Bubu was very dissatisfied and bared his teeth at Zhao Hao, preventing Zhao Hao from continuing to bully Lu Yusheng.
"Don't worry, whatever you write your eldest brother into, your eldest brother won't be angry. People live for a lifetime, grass and trees for a while, what they want most is a fair evaluation,
A history book will be written for a long time, but fortunately, you are younger than me and can write until I hang up! ”
"Phew, big brother is not allowed to talk nonsense!"
Jiang Weiluo was a little surprised, he didn't expect that a person like Zhao Hao, who has absolute power in his hands, would allow others to praise and belittle him at will, and if there is a person who faithfully records his words and deeds by his side, wouldn't he be careful in everything he does, and many thoughts after the expansion of power should also be carefully hidden in his heart.
He asked himself, it was difficult for him to do this, I hope Zhao Hao didn't pretend to be pretending.
He also told Zhao Hao that Zhang Ji led Hu soldiers to fight, although the Hu soldiers were numerous, they aroused the fighting spirit of the Han army and also dealt a serious blow to the military morale of the Wei army.
Later, Zhang He was unwilling to take the lead for Bu Dugen, so he colluded with Ma Tan, set off a big chaos, poisoned Zhang Ji with a drug, killed Bu Dugen, and directly led his own soldiers to leave the battlefield.
Speaking of Zhang Ji's miserable appearance after his poisonous hair, even Jiang Wei was a little frightened, and Lu Yusheng leaned on the panda's body in fear, a little more breathless.
"That's our strength." Zhao Hao said with a smile, "Our army is not a heavenly general, but our soldiers are well-trained and willing to charge in the rain of arrows, while the Wei army is full of mountains, and those generals do not want their troops to suffer damage, and they will even use such a method if they are forced to do so." ”
Jiang Wei clenched his fists confidently and said, "Then, can we spread this matter to the Wei State and let the Wei State kill Zhang He to reduce our enemies on the way to the East." ”
"No, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, since Zhang He can do this kind of thing for the first time, he can do it for the second and third time.
With him, the Wei army is equivalent to planting a time bomb...... Uh, it's a chronic poison, Zhang He's handle is in our hands, and it is estimated that he will not fight hard in the future.
Speaking of which, he is still a very good opponent, and it is a good thing to try not to fight him to the death. ”
Jiang Wei nodded with great admiration and said, "Champion Hou is really smart, I don't dare to ask Champion Hou about his next step, are we going to fight Chang'an?" ”
According to the genius design of Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair", Ji Han's best strategy for dispatching troops is to take two ways to advance together, so that Cao Wei cannot take care of both the beginning and the end, and he will definitely be able to pierce Cao Wei in a wave and reunify the world.
No matter what era you look at, this strategy is extremely clever, but the problem is that when "Longzhong Pair" was proposed, Zhuge Liang didn't know that their future ally Dongwu would be so superb.
Seeing that others are mixing well, what they think is not to strive to mix better, but to definitely find ways to stab them in the back.
If you want to continue to follow the routine of Longzhong, the best thing is to find a way for Soochow to at least remain neutral.
"It's not the time for a full-scale attack to eliminate Cao Wei, Eastern Wu is too calm now, if they are in chaos, we have a chance to start from it, before that, I don't want to risk our soldiers."
"Besides, Tianshui has just been annexed, and there are still many dangers in Liangzhou that have not been lifted, and we have to take one step at a time-
Beryo, the all-knowing and all-powerful God tells me that you are a rare talent, and I need your help very much. ”
