Chapter 58: Liu Bei Cai Yan celebrates the New Year, inspects Yizhou and sets off again

After arranging the women's army, Liu Bei never saw Zhao Yu in the military camp of the tiger and leopard cavalry, nor did he interfere with Zhao Yu's recruitment and training work. At this time, all the officials felt that Liu Bei had taken a fancy to Zhao Yu and was spending money, manpower and material resources to win Zhao Yu's smile.

For this reason, Jian Yong, Xi Zhicai, and Zhao Yun all came to persuade Liu Bei in a hurry, and finally finally conveyed their thoughts to everyone to appease everyone, but Cai Yan in the main house was a little apprehensive, this is not that she herself has not yet conceived a child, if Liu Bei is taking a concubine, and the concubine gives birth to a baby boy in front of her, what should she do?

Although he didn't quarrel with Liu Bei, everything was seen by Liu Bei, so Liu Bei also worked hard at night during this time, and when some of Liu Bei's thoughts were conveyed to Cai Yan's ears, the impact of this matter slowly subsided.

And Zhao Yu, who was in the center of the storm, seemed to have no idea at all, constantly recruiting troops and horses, and there was no one all day, but the day before the Chinese New Year, Zhao Yu suddenly came to Liu Bei in a hurry, saying that the 4,000 women army had been recruited, and asked Liu Bei to divide a camp.

For this request, Liu Bei did not dare to slack off, the main reason was that the entire camp of female soldiers must be fully equipped, and it should be far away from the camp of the male soldiers, and promised Zhao Yunian to personally choose the camp before sending the female general away.

And Cai Yan has completely supported the shelf of the main mother during this time, and all the matters of the New Year in Yizhou are handled by Cai Yan, because Liu Bei's parents are no longer there, and Liu Bei has no relatives in Zhuozhou, so the package family sacrifice, and all other ceremonies are arranged in Yizhou, and they are all handled in accordance with the Han etiquette system.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Liu Bei sacrificed to the king of the stove according to Cai Yan's request and offered sugar melons. After sacrificing to the god of the stove, on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, he will begin to command the maids in the mansion to clean, in fact, because the mansion is newly built, and it is usually constantly cleaned, Liu Bei originally suggested that there was no need to clean it, but Cai Yan insisted that according to the etiquette system, this cleaning is an important ceremony, meaning to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

After that, he ran the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, due to Liu Bei's strong request, and the two eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was too deserted, and Liu Bei worked hard during this time, Cai Yan agreed to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the whole government, regardless of dignity and inferiority, and after sacrificing to the ancestors, everyone enjoyed this sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal together.

After that, red envelopes were distributed to a group of maids, and then only Liu Bei and Cai Yan were left in the entire master bedroom, and the two finally had the opportunity to say something close to themselves.

"Husband, the concubine was unhappy before, it's not that I really don't want my husband to take a concubine, it's just that you and I have been married for less than a year, and I haven't been able to conceive a child, and the main thing is that the husband is in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and the concubine doesn't want to see her husband play the tricks of the princes like King Zhou You, so it will be like this, and I hope that the husband will not be surprised." Cai Yan first admitted his mistake like Liu Bei.

"Akihime, what do you mean by that? You and I are husband and wife, and we are one, so why do we have to say that he is a husband every day, and he doesn't comment, but at the moment, the husband still wants to restore the great man wholeheartedly, although he has died nine times without regrets. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that if I fail in this life, I will be involved in Zhaoji. As he spoke, he didn't forget to shed a tear or two, of course, on purpose.

"Don't be like this, if Zhao Ji thinks that if she becomes her husband's wife, she will marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, if there is really that day, the concubine will not live alone." Cai Yan hugged Liu Bei and said.

Serving the two of them, they will be entangled together until dawn (3,000 words are omitted here, and a chapter will be sent to the readers, and the readers will fantasize for themselves. )。

After Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the first day of the new year, Liu Bei and Cai Yan got up early in the morning, and after the clan sacrifice was completed again, they stayed at home and waited, and today the main officials of Yizhou will come to Liu Bei's mansion to greet themselves.

After receiving New Year's greetings from all the officials in turn, and leaving all the officials for lunch, they distributed red envelopes to the crowd and dismissed the crowd. In the next few days, Liu Bei and Cai Yan were not idle, in order to show their attention to the officials, the husband and wife brought gifts to the main officials one by one, which made Xi Zhong, Jian Yong and others excited, and even Zhang Zhao, Wei Chizhan, and He Ting, who had just joined Liu Bei, were inexplicably excited and loyal.

The reason why the New Year is so grand in Yizhou this time is because Liu Bei plans not to return to Yizhou for the New Year next year, but to prepare for the New Year in the Western Regions.

After all the matters of the New Year were busy, Liu Bei led Zhao Yun's tiger and leopard cavalry to set off again, Yizhou currently has five counties, two sailor camps, a salt field, a paper mill, although he has listened to Jian Yong's report, but he still intends to inspect again, not that he does not believe in Jian Yong, but as a monarch, he must always solve the problems of people's livelihood in the territory.

Since the beginning of this year, the Yizhou political group led by Jian Yong has tried to plant two seasons of rice, and the sowing time of the first season is the end of the first month and the beginning of February, so just after the end of the year, all the three million acres of rice fields began to be busy, weeding and fertilizing.

Seeing the busy scene in the rice field, Liu Bei was quite emotional, and even went to the field to farm with a group of farmers at the right time, and at this time, the trapped army, the tiger army, and the Long Yan army also ended their training and planted one million acres of tuntian in the government.

There are about 210,000 people in the whole Yizhou, including 20,000 soldiers, according to Liu Bei's first policy according to the population, each person can rent 10 acres of cultivated land, and 190,000 people will divide 190,000 acres of cultivated land, and 30 taxes one, if the light and four years of planting go smoothly, this 1.9 million mu of roots can grow two seasons of rice, and the yield of rice per mu per season is conservatively estimated at two and a half stones, then the annual production capacity will be 9.5 million stone grain, and the income obtained through taxation will be 320,000 stone grain. The millions of acres of fertile land in the government's tuntian can produce 5 million stone of grain, so that in the short term, the whole Yizhou will no longer have to worry about grain, and the people will have grain in stock, and every household can eat enough.

Starting from Yizhong County all the way, after inspecting Wanyizhong County, he entered Yunmeng County in the west of Yizhong County, and did not ask the county order to go out of the city.

After that, Liu Bei inspected Chiayi County and Xianju County in turn, and the feedback from the people was still very good, and the county also showed a thriving scene.

Finally, I came to Yinan County, the southernmost part of Yizhou, this county is a little different from other counties, mainly because this county has just built the county seat in the late winter last year, so everything is a little rushed, but there is no corruption among the officials.

In view of Su Fei's commanding ability, Liu Bei did not think about expanding the sailor, and felt that this was not the time, the current sailor only needs to meet the daily training, defend some pirates, and transport goods between Liaodong and Yizhou.

But he still encouraged Su Fei and told Su Fei that the scale of the sailor in the future would be at least ten times larger. This is enough to make Su Feile not good.

Leaving the water division is to inspect the paper mill, what makes Liu Bei the happiest is that there are a lot of small saplings planted near the roots of the felled trees in the mountains and forests around the paper mill, although they are very small at the moment, but presumably ten years later, twenty years later, these saplings will grow into big trees. As the soul of a modern person, Liu Bei still doesn't want to dry up and fish.

After the inspection of the paper mill, he went to the mountains and forests near Yizhong County again, where there are three horse farms and weapons manufacturing yards.

Seeing the eight thousand fart stallions on the horse farm, Liu Bei was very happy, Yizhou here is not the Western Regions, there can be such a scale of war horses here, it is still very exciting for him, as for the weapon manufacturing factory, Liu Bei was quite dissatisfied after seeing it, and the entire manufacturing plant is made of some weapons worn by ordinary soldiers in the Han Dynasty, and it cannot meet Liu Bei's requirements.

After returning to Yizhong County, Liu Bei summoned Jian Yong, Xi Zhong and Zhang Zhao again, in fact, before the inspection, Zhang Zhao reported all the results of his inspection and the corresponding improvement measures to Liu Bei, although Liu Bei was quite satisfied with the inspection along the way, but also found the problems in the plan submitted by Zhang Zhao, and also felt that Zhang Zhao's method was quite reasonable.

This time Jian Yong was summoned to familiarize Jian Yong with the improvement methods in Zhang Zhao's governance plan, and at the same time began to change. At the same time, the weapons manufacturing plant was also separated from the government affairs, and the military affairs were divided into the supervision of Xi Zhong, and Xi Zhong was instructed to pay attention to the research and development of weapons, and not to blindly produce old weapons. And promised to be loyal, and after bringing it back to the Western Regions, he sent someone to send Ma Jun back to Yizhou to assist in the research and development of Yizhou weapons.
