Chapter 5 Towards Unification Section 47
After Liu Bei received the letter, he felt a burst of sadness in his heart, Sun Ce, known as the "little overlord of Jiangdong", swept south of the Yangtze River, invincible, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't avoid the fate of death.
A person's character determines a person's fate, and at the critical moment of life, the turning point of fate is only in the few seconds when the decision is made. Sun Ce's character is strong and competitive, and his whereabouts, who are self-armed and fond of hunting, fall into the eyes of those who have a heart, and ambush is easy. On his way to hunt, he was ambushed by the doormen of Xu Gong, a wealthy clan in Jiangnan. Previously, in order to eradicate the power of the Hao clan, he confiscated Xu Gong's family property in the name of rebellion and beheaded Xu Gong himself.
As one of the most powerful separatists in the Three Kingdoms era, Sun Ce's death will inevitably cause a change in the division of the world. Qingzhou came to ask for help, precisely because the stakes were so high, that everyone did not dare to call the shots.
Liu Bei put down the letter and looked at the scenery in the field reluctantly: "This matter is important, it seems that I have to go back to Qingzhou." Call Tian Feng to come and arrange it. ”
Tian Feng received the order, Liu Bei introduced the situation, and advised: "These tattooed widows have nothing to fight, but the mountains and forests of the Wa Kingdom are dense and the wild animals are abundant, and just destroying their farmland will not necessarily make them poor." If our army disperses its forces and searches for the Japanese people, it is possible that the war will be protracted.
This year's regular war ends here, tell the generals at all levels participating in the war that immediately after the spring ploughing, lead their own guards, in the Japanese country, each general according to the size of the merit, give a different time to the staking land, within the specified time, any general as long as the complete land, how much the circle, all their territory. Hehe, if anyone is not greedy enough, and within the allotted time, the horse runs a single line, or does not enclose the complete land, then the reward given to them will be counted as null and void. In addition, I immediately searched for all kinds of plant seeds in the island, especially rice seeds, which had to be sent to Qingzhou in a steady stream, and any other peculiar flower and plant species had to be sent a few points for me to identify. ”
Tian Feng nodded solemnly, in his mind, the country is poor in mineral deposits, and if you want to develop the country, you must find ways to find ways in crops.
What Tian Feng did not know was that 80% of the world's wealth flowed with plants, and that the earliest voyages began with the spice trade, followed by the sugar cane (sugar) trade, the tea trade, the tobacco trade, the cotton trade, the opium (poppy) trade, and in modern times, the rubber trade.
Even in the 20th century, Japanese rice and Thai fragrant rice were the world's largest agricultural trade, and the quality of Japanese rice was even better than that of Thai fragrant rice.
Historically, the plunder of warfare has given priority to the plundering of plants, followed by slaves. Qingzhou prohibits slavery, so plundering Japan's characteristic economic plants and destroying Japan's economic base has become the main cause of Liu Bei's war.
"The inexhaustible Japanese slaves are commanded by officials selected by Kyushu Island. By the way, the people of Korea ruled that whoever came to plant here would harvest what they planted, and the lords of each side were only shelterers, and only collected tithes (10% tax) from the common people, and the rest of the income was at their own disposal. Remember, trick them first, and when they take root, our farm will be productive. Liu Bei said secretly.
Tian Feng snorted and asked: "Lord, although I have the territory of Xihe, but this time I participated in the expedition of the Japanese Kingdom, I finally have some small merit, and I can count it as a share?" ”
Liu Bei replied briskly: "Of course." ”
Tian Feng continued to ask: "Is that to leave a piece of land for the lord?" lest all the land be taken over. ”
Liu Bei nodded: "I am very satisfied with the land in the Tsushima Strait, facing South Korea and connecting Liaodong, it will definitely be a place of great development in the future, leave that land to me." In addition, Tsushima Island in the strait was divided by Zhang Liao and other generals who participated in the war. ”
Liu Bei glanced at Dian Wei and ordered: "Dian Wei is going back to Qingzhou with me soon, and if he can't participate in the enclosure, cut half of Tsushima Island to him......"
After a thousand things, Liu Bei was still stranded in the Jinai area for five days, and after dealing with the miscellaneous things, he left to return to Qingzhou. It's a pity that because Tian Feng, who presided over the work, also participated in the enclosure action, the final result of this horse staking was that the meritorious generals took the map, sketched on it, and completed the enclosure operation without running horses. Liu Bei finally learned of the news, so he had to say helplessly: "It seems that it is really essential for the person in charge of the work to implement the recusal law." "Then a new bill was introduced, and it was the recusal bill.
On March 22, the spring equinox, Liu Bei arrived in Qingzhou, and in addition to officials at all levels on the shore of Longkou Port, there was also the great Pope Yin Dong waiting to go south again.
In the car, Yin Dong introduced Liu Bei to the controversy that was beginning in Qingzhou, and Liu Bei muttered to himself: "The theory of geocentrism, the theory that the earth is round, this controversy should have happened at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it is happening now, okay!" This shows that we have advanced the course of Chinese civilization by at least 1,600 years.
The Han Dynasty was the time when the mind was imprisoned the least, maybe the debate at this time will be more effective than the debate 1,600 years later, at least, our interpretation of the world, no longer follow the Five Elements of the I Ching, science and technology will get the opportunity for unfettered development, let them fight, the more the truth is debated, the clearer it is, isn't it? ”
Yin Dong explained: "The most important thing is that the theory of logical reasoning is the mother of all science and technology, and in this debate, everyone gradually accepted the theory of logical reasoning, and from then on, the debate of opinions will no longer be a shrew scolding each other, which is a great progress in civilization." We have slowed the progress of civilization by more than 1,600 years, and it can even be said that it has been accelerated by 1,800 years. When I think about all this, I feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart. ”
Liu Bei smiled and patted Yin Dong's thigh vigorously to express his appreciation, Yin Dong screamed and protested: "You are a person who has always been insidious and despicable, you don't pat your own legs when you are happy, my legs are also made of meat, your hands are so heavy, why are you doing." ”
Liu Bei was not ashamed to retract his bear paw and changed the topic: "Last year, I fought from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and I didn't even ask you about your situation in the south, how is it?" Now ask, it's not too late, right? ”
Yin Dong sighed: "It's difficult, it's really difficult to teach people to talk about hygiene, even don't defecate in the open, you need to emphasize it repeatedly." At the beginning of spring this year, it is estimated that the plague will be raging again. The people in the south are poor and demand that everyone drink boiled water, and the economic conditions do not allow it; Asking people not to pour excrement into the drains, customs do not allow it, and this year the plague will break out again. ”
Liu Bei groaned and said, "It is difficult to develop hygienic habits, this is a chronic disease. 1,800 years later, even if it is rampant, the hygiene habits of the Chinese people are still not satisfactory. But I believe that if we start working now, for 1,800 years, then history will be very different. ”
Yin Dong said excitedly: "I forgot to tell you that we went to the south this time and found Chinese Artemisia annua. Artemisia annua is a good medicine for malaria on a par with cinchona. Artemisia annua and Zhang Zhongjing's typhoid decoction are the only two Chinese medicine preparations recognized by the International Health Organization, but fortunately, I have memorized the production methods of these two medicines, and I am going south this year to use these two prescriptions to treat all people and relieve sentient beings from hanging upside down. ”
Yin Dong said with a solemn look on his face, and a divine light flashed on his face. Liu Bei maliciously broke Yin Dong's illusions: "As far as I know, Zhang Zhongjing's typhoid decoction is still ineffective, and the same is true for Chinese Artemisia annua. These two potions are only considered effective if they are cold brewed, and when the time comes, you should not let the people of the south use the soup pot to boil grass leaf soup. Can the cold brew method be achieved with your current technical means? ”
Yin Dong replied honestly: "To tell the truth, it can't be achieved." However, extracting the active ingredient with 45% alcohol is more effective than leaf soup from a soup pot anyway. ”
Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile and changed the topic to chat with Yin Dong about the scene in the south.
For two days in a row, Liu Bei slept in the car when he was tired, and the soldiers changed horses instead of cars, and rushed to Guangrao without sleep all night. On the evening of the second day, Liu Bei finally arrived at Guangrao City.
The officials who greeted him gathered around the Guangrao City Lord's Mansion and stepped forward to express their loyalty. Qingzhou now implements a chief minister's national responsibility system similar to the prime minister's responsibility system, while Liu Bei has deliberately fought in the east and west in recent years, and does not participate in the handling of specific political affairs, so as to cultivate the independence of officials. However, as Liu Bei's majesty grew, he said nothing in the north, and the officials began to consciously regard themselves as subordinates, which was beyond the etiquette system at that time.
The greetings of the welcoming people have passed, Liu Feng staggered, made a little adult appearance, stepped forward to greet Liu Bei according to etiquette, did not wait for his body to straighten up, and couldn't wait to open his immature voice and asked: "Father, it is said that the territory of the Japanese State is the size of Qingzhou, and my father originally planned to personally preside over the attack of the Japanese State, but a Sun Ce was killed, and my father was going to abandon the land of the Japanese State and rush back to Qingzhou.
Sun Ce, occupy the land of Jiangdong, even if his father sends troops and food, the land laid by the Sun family is not owned by his father, if the Sun family grows bigger, it may become our enemy in the future, is it not worth it for my father to abandon the land of the Japanese country for an enemy? ”
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Some people can't question in their lifetime, and people are clouds, like walking corpses." I didn't learn to question until I was twenty years old, and it is often said that questioning is the mother of excellence. When my son is still young, he has learned to question, and when he grows up, he will win a lot of fathers, and my heart is very comforted. ”
Liu Bei suppressed his smile, his face was cold, and he asked sharply, "Who taught him these words?" ”
Soon after Liu Feng was born, Liu Bei attacked Xihe for the first time, and after a small setback, he lost contact with Qingzhou, at that time, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the elders of Qingzhou held Liu Feng, who babbled and learned, presided over the political situation in Qingzhou, although Liu Feng had not yet learned to speak and walk, he began to contact politics, but these words were far from being able to be said by a four or five-year-old child.
With Liu Bei's reprimand, the ministers look at me, I look at you, exchanging searching glances with each other. At this time, there was a light cough from behind Liu Feng, and Chen Qun came out of the crowd, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and replied: "Lord, what the prince said is from the teachings of his subordinates. The Governor's Mansion was full of discussions, and the prince talked about it with his subordinates, and the subordinates casually expressed their opinions, and hoped that the lord would understand. ”
Chen Qun belonged to Liu Bei's retainers, Liu Feng hugged him when he was young, Liu Feng's nominal teacher was Guan Ning, in fact, Chen Qun taught him more. Liu Bei admired Chen Qun's talents, and also supported Liu Feng to ask him for advice. However, Chen Qun is obviously a bit overstepping his authority this time.
Qingzhou is divided into civil and military families, Chen Qun is an official of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the selection and assessment of officials, and he should not interfere in military affairs, so he instigated Liu Feng to question the military deployment of the Governor's Mansion this time, and he must have other intentions.
Liu Bei's head was running at high speed, and he immediately understood what Chen Qun meant. Frustrated and Tian Feng resigned from the Governor's Mansion only added Lu Su alone, and there was still a vacancy in the official position, and with Gao Tanglong about to enter the Senate and replace Lu Zhi as the chief elder, the highest official position as a civil official is also about to become vacant, at present, Zhang Zhao has gradually taken root in Lianyungang in the south due to the drag of the clan, and the remaining candidates are only Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, and Chen Qun. As the first retainer to follow Liu Bei to start a business, it is a matter of face that Chen Qun said this time that he not only has the ability to do internal affairs, but also has his own views on military issues. If the competition between the minister and the minister fails, it is okay to win the position of the military minister (military advisor).
Liu Bei took a deep breath, shook his head to drive away distracting thoughts, squatted down, looked at Liu Feng and said: "Child, whether you can understand what you just said or not, you must remember that you must learn to question, this is the first step of independent thinking, I will teach you the first lesson of life now." Remember, an important rule is that you should never hate your enemies, as this will affect your judgment.
Heroes and heroes will only fight against matching opponents, and the final victors belong to those who can calmly judge the situation. Historically, all impulsives have only one use: to be cannon fodder, to be a victim.
At any time, don't let your feelings blind you, don't let your views on things be mixed with anger, hatred, even favoritism, and even pity, for any thing, as long as it is mixed with a little personal emotion, the judgment you make is unfair and unwise. ”
Liu Bei stood up, lovingly stroked Liu Feng's head and said: "Sun Ce, maybe he may become our enemy in the future, but before he becomes an enemy, there are still huge interests between me and him, Sun Ce's death, let these interests and plans all come to naught, we must start from scratch and re-plan our southern strategy, this is my biggest trouble." At this moment, for me, what I have lost is not a future enemy, but my early investment. ”
Liu Bei glanced at the ministers and said with a heavy heart: "Now, what are we going to do is to go south in a big way and annex the remnants of Sun Ce, or do we support an agent again?" You need to be careful, you need to be mixed with a little personal emotion, child, learn to learn the stability of your uncles. ”
