Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 45 Juntian or not?
Qin Lang in Xu Shu's mouth, the character Yuanming, the nickname is Ah Su, and his father's name is Qin Yilu, who was originally a general under Lu Bu. []
In the Battle of Xuzhou, LΓΌ Bu was defeated, and when Guan Yu saw that Qin Lang's wife Du was beautiful, he once asked Cao Cao to marry Du to himself. But he didn't expect that after Cao Cao saw Du's beauty, he would take him as a concubine. And later generations have speculated that this Du Shi is the original Diao Chan.
Cao Cao Nadu is a concubine, and this Qin Lang has become Cao Cao's fake son, probably because the son is more expensive than his mother, and Cao Cao likes this godson very much. and made him a cavalry general.
This cavalry general Switzerland is only one of the miscellaneous generals, but he leads the city guards of the national capital, which is equivalent to the nine-gate admiral in later generations. So once the palace changed, the city guard became a decisive force.
Cao Xiu's tiger cavalry was responsible for besieging the palace, while Qin Lang's city guards were responsible for defending Yecheng. So Xu Shu asked Cao Rong to ask for help from the two people first.
Cao Rong thought for a moment, and said: "Sir, then Qin Lang is easy to say, this king often accompanied his grandfather when he was a child, and he also had some friendship with Qin Lang, as for Uncle Cao Xiu......
"Cao Xiu, there are ministers to talk about it." Xu Shu said.
"Sir, are you going?" Cao Rong looked at it with some surprise. Xu Shu. After Xu Shu entered Cao's camp, he never said a word, never offered Cao Cao a plan, and never rushed to do anything. Cao Rong didn't expect that now Xu Shu would take the initiative to ask Ying.
"Sir, great grace, I will remember it in my heart!" After Cao Rong finished speaking, he knelt down violently.
"Hurry up, the prince, such a big gift, how can the minister afford it!"
"Sir, don't worry, if he can continue to do so. Inherit the unification, Mr. should be credited, as long as there is a day, Mr. Dingbao is a very good minister! β
β¦β¦
Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry is more like the Cao family's private army. The leaders of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are all members of the Cao family, from Cao Chun at the beginning, to Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu later.
Cao Xiu is also one of the clans, and he is also the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry. While. When Cao Cao was still alive, the Cao clan was also talented, such as the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers, all of whom were talented generals and made great contributions to Cao Cao's fight against the world.
But as the older generation passed away one after another, the Cao clan. Although there are more young people in the room, they are becoming more and more unbearable. Now in the Cao family clan, only a few people such as Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, and Xiahouba can be used.
Cao Zhen and Sun Quan. Zhan, took away almost all the leopard horses, and Cao Xiu led the remaining tiger horses, surrounding the safety of Yecheng.
Cao Xiu Mansion. Small school field.
Although it is not yet spring, Cao Xiu is still shirtless, practicing martial arts on the school field, bursts of heat are coming out of his body, and sweat is slowly all over Cao Xiu's body.
"Drink ......" The spear in Cao Xiu's hand shook a beautiful spear flower, turning into countless phantoms, which made people dazzled.
The old servant walked in from outside and said, "General, Lord Xu Shu Xu asks to see you." β
"Xu Shu? How did he get here? Cao Xiu was slightly surprised. On weekdays, Cao Xiu and Xu Shu don't have much contact at all, at most they just meet and say hello, not to talk about deep friendship, and now that Xu Shu is here, Cao Xiu suffers a little.
The so-called Three Treasures Hall is not on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and people like Xu Shu, who don't interact with him on weekdays, must have something to ask for when they come to find themselves. Thinking of this, Cao Xiu opened his mouth and said, "Invite Master Xu to the hall, and I will be there later." β
β¦β¦
Xu Shu sat quietly in the hall, savoring the tea sent by his subordinates. Cao Xiu's tea leaves are all of the highest quality, much better than Xu Shu's own, and Xu Shu couldn't help but drink a few more sips.
Footsteps came from the back hall, and then only Cao Xiu's voice came from behind.
"Hahahaha, Lord Xu's visit to the Humble House is really brilliant......"
Xu Shu immediately stood up, and at this time, Cao Xiu also walked out of the back hall.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Cao Zhen asked, "Lord Xu came to find Cao, I don't know what happened?" β
"General Cao, there is indeed something important to come. But ......" Xu Shu looked at both sides, and then said: "Please also ask the general to retreat left and right." β
Cao Xiu waved his hand: "You all go down!" β
The subordinates all walked out, and Xu Shu spoke: "General Cao, I am here for Your Majesty's illness." β
"Your Majesty's condition?" Cao Xiu's face tightened: "How can I say this." β
"Does the general know what illness His Majesty has?" Xu Shu asked.
"I heard that it is overwork, qi deficiency and weakness, as long as you rest for a few more days, it will be good to replenish your body." Cao Xiu replied.
"Hehe......" Xu Shu laughed slightly.
When Cao Xiu saw Xu Shu's appearance, his heart moved slightly. How capable Xu Shu is, Cao Xiu has also heard of it. Besides, Cao Pi has been ill for so long, and Cao Xiu doesn't believe in the so-called qi deficiency and weakness. So Cao Xiu cautiously asked, "Could it be that Mr. Xu knows what illness His Majesty is suffering from?" β
"General, you used to study in Jingzhou in the next year, you should know!"
Cao Xiu nodded, Xu Shu killed someone back then, but fled to Jingzhou, of course Cao Xiu knew about this disgraceful thing.
And Xu Shu continued: "When I was in Jingzhou, I traveled to Changsha to study, and I had several relationships with Zhang Zhongjing. β
Cao Xiu nodded, although Cao Xiu didn't know the purpose of Xu Shu's words, but looking at Xu Shu's solemn expression, Cao Xiu still listened quietly.
"The five food scatters were made by Zhang Ji, and I had also discussed the five food scatters with Dr. Zhang. A few days ago, when I looked at His Majesty's appearance, it was ninety percent similar to the person who had taken five food and scattered food for a long time! β
"You mean, Your Majesty took the Five Foods?" Cao Xiu's face suddenly became very exciting, although these five food powders can be used in medicine, but the harm to the body is well known. Many children of rich families in Yecheng, especially those who like boys, also like to use the five food powders.
"Impossible, this is impossible, how could Your Majesty consume Wushi San? What do those imperial doctors eat? Cao Xiu's face was full of disbelief.
Xu Shu didn't speak, just sat there with a smile, looking like you can't love.
After a burst of anger, Cao Xiu gradually quieted down, Cao Xiu knew that in this kind of matter, Xu Shu did not have to deceive himself, and it was impossible to deceive himself.
Recalling Cao Pi's various performances after his illness, Cao Xiuyue felt that what Xu Shu said was very reasonable.
"Could it be that Your Majesty has really taken the Five Foods?" Cao Xiu muttered.
"General Cao, if it is expected, Your Majesty should not take Wushisan." Xu Shu said again.
"What do you mean?" Cao Xiu asked again.
"The medicinal effect of the five food powders is known below, and it takes more than ten years to take it before His Majesty has such symptoms. And Your Majesty has only been sick for more than a year, if I expect it to be true, the medicine Your Majesty consumes is dozens of times more powerful than Wushi San! Xu Shu continued.
"No, I'm going to see Your Majesty soon." After Cao Xiu finished speaking, he immediately got up.
"General, wait!" Xu Shu immediately stopped Cao Xiu, and then said: "General, have you ever thought that Your Majesty kept this matter secret just so that others would not know, if the General went to see Your Majesty like this, how could Your Majesty spare the General." β
"Well...... This ......" Cao Xiu was stunned in place.
Cao Xiu is much more indecisive than Cao Zhen, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Xiu has never had the opportunity to be the general who leads the party.
"General, according to what I have seen below, Your Majesty's medicine is already poisonous, and I am afraid it won't last long."
"What do you say? That's impossible! β
"Although you are not talented, but you are also familiar with medical skills, Your Majesty's body is a major matter of the country, how dare I joke about this. If I am not 100% sure, how dare I tell the general! Xu Shu said with a straight face.
Cao Xiu fell silent again. As Xu Shu said, in this kind of matter, if Xu Shu is not 100% sure, how dare he talk nonsense.
"General, now that our country has Shu Han in the west and Sun Quan in the south, it is an eventful autumn, if Your Majesty suffers misfortune, the state affairs are in danger! Therefore, I thought that the prince should be elected as soon as possible, and in case His Majesty had any mistakes, the prince could be enthroned and the state affairs ...... stable," Xu Shu continued.
The prince is the heir of the emperor, not just the crown prince, if the emperor has no son, he can also make his brother the prince. Xu Shu only said that the prince did not say the prince, which meant that the heir could be considered from Cao Pi's brothers.
Cao Xiu took a slight breath, and then said: "Now Your Majesty has four sons, Cao Rong, King of the Plains, Cao Jian, King of Wuyang, Cao Lin, King of the East China Sea, and Cao Yong, King of Handan. As for who will inherit the throne, it is up to His Majesty to decide. β
"The general's words are wrong, that Cao Yong, the king of Handan, is only three years old now, if His Majesty appoints him as the prince and inherits the unification in the future, what does the general think?"
"Then how to do it, if the king of Handan ascends the throne, the power of the court will inevitably fall into the hands of the relatives of the ministers, this is the way to destroy the country!"
"What the general said is very true, now that the princes are young, I don't think it is better to find one of His Majesty's brothers to inherit the throne?" Xu Shu smiled slightly.
"Well, this one, presumably His Majesty refuses to agree. Moreover, now that the King of the Plains has reached adulthood, if there is a King of the Plains to inherit the throne, there will be no problem. Cao Xiu said.
Xu Shu smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart, just waiting for you Cao Xiu to say this.
β¦β¦
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
It was almost noon now, and many ministers were already hungry during the morning court meeting.
"Your Majesty, a great victory in the Western Regions! Victory in the Western Regions! A voice came from afar.
Everyone's eyes looked outside, only to see a guard running from a distance, and a few dodges rushed into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, the Great Victory in the Western Regions!" The guard knelt down and spoke.
"Speak."
"General Ma has repelled the Wusun people, and now General Ma has led the army and entered the hinterland of Wusun!"
"So fast? Speak in detail! β
"General Ma sent the Wusun army to a valley, and then a fire broke out, and the Wusun army was defeated. General Ma followed the pursuit, annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, and now has invaded the Wusun grassland. β
"How long ago was this?" Adou asked.
"It's been a month."
"A month? Presumably, General Ma has now gone deep into the Wusun grassland. Adou breathed a sigh of relief, the horse was really extraordinary, and he was able to defeat the Wusun people in such a short time.
At this time, Adou was in a good mood, and said happily: "It's almost time, let's eat in the palace today, I will let the imperial meal prepare more." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing Adou say this, many ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and after standing for such a morning, everyone was already tired. The generals were better, but many of the Wenchen felt that their backs and legs hurt.
β¦β¦
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
This year has been a quiet year for the Central Plains.
The internal migration of the Di people is on the right track, and the population of Yongzhou is slowly recovering. Although it is still far from the pre-war level, the people of Qindi have great perseverance, so after a year of construction, Yongzhou has entered the trajectory of benign exhibition.
Since the horse invaded the Wusun grassland, there has been no news back, but the spies have heard a lot of news from the surrounding Wusun, that is, there has been a very powerful force of men and horses in Wusun, about 10,000 people, wandering around, and many tribes have been wiped out.
At the same time, the six departments were also successfully established, and after arranging a large number of children of the family to enter the six departments, the children of the family did not have much to say, which could be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the situation.
Cao Pi in Yecheng was still holding on and had no breath. In the course of a year, Cao Pi tried to quit the Dragon Tiger Pill several times, but failed each time. Although Cao Pi can be regarded as a very persevering person, but for such a thing as drug rehabilitation, it is not enough to rely on patience when drug addiction is done, and some calming and tired drugs are needed to assist in treatment. Hua Tuo obviously couldn't prescribe any tranquilizing drugs to Cao Pi, so Cao Pi's detoxification was also doomed to fail.
In the past year, Cao Pi has been so thin that his face is as withered, and no matter who looks at him, Cao Pi will die soon. If it weren't for Cao Pi's own reduction in the dosage of Dragon Tiger Pill, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to last now.
As Cao Pi's body deteriorated day by day, Yecheng also became lively. Although Cao Pi's sons are still young, they can't bear the power of their relatives.
The concubines around Cao Pi must all be from a family, there is no woman from a civilian family, many of these concubines from a family have a deep background, Cao Pi is about to die, and this matter of winning the heir was put on the agenda by this group of relatives.
Cao Cao's sons also staged a good show of winning the heir, but at that time, Cao Cao's health was not bad, and Cao Cao was pressing, and Cao Cao's sons could not do very deviant things, plus several of the main people who won the heir were all from a mother, so the battle for the heir at that time was not very tragic.
But now Cao Pi is seriously ill and can no longer serve as a director, and these relatives are not something that ordinary officials can manage. So in the course of a year, Yecheng was made into a miasma by this foreign relative. Everyone formed their own gangs and co-opted ministers. But the vast majority of ministers are still waiting.
And the Jiangdong side can be regarded as calm. Sun Quan realized that Jiangdong was underpopulated and could not compare with Wei in the war of attrition, so Jiangdong issued an order and ordered the Yue people to move out of the mountains and forests and vigorously open Jiangdong.
β¦β¦
Shou Chun.
As soon as Zhuge Ke came back from Huiji, he rushed to the Shouchun Palace to see Sun Quan.
"Yuan Xun, you just came back, why didn't you come here if you didn't hurry up to rest and rest?"
"Your Majesty, the minister not only went to Huiji this time, but also went deep into the hinterland of Shanyue. On the way back, the minister came up with a plan to report to His Majesty. β
"Well, come on, sit down, and those refreshments come up, Yuan Xun must not have eaten yet, talk while eating." Sun Quan said happily.
Speaking of which, Sun Quan really likes Zhuge Ke, and almost regards Zhuge Ke as his son, there are not many people in this palace who can have such treatment.
Zhuge Ke took a slight breath and said, "Your Majesty intends to open up mountains and other places, and lead the people of Shanyue to move out of the mountains and forests. And the minister also thought of a Juntian strategy. β
"Junda's strategy?"
"Your Majesty, the southeast of Jiangdong is now vast and sparsely populated, especially the coastal areas and Jiaozhou, which are even more sparsely populated. However, according to the minister's observation, the climate in those places was warm, and although these places are only wasteland now, if they are well cultivated, they will surely become fertile land. Therefore, the minister thought that after the Shanyue people were moved out of the mountains and forests, men over the age of fifteen needed to reclaim 20 acres of wasteland, and women needed to reclaim 10 acres of wasteland, and after these wastelands were reclaimed for two days, they would be granted to those who cultivated the land, and returned to the fields in old age or death...... In this way, I can have more 10,000 acres of fertile land in Jiangdong! β
"What a Juntian strategy!" After Sun Quan listened, his eyes lit up.
Nowadays, the place where Shanyue lives is still full of mountains and forests. Although there are many hilly areas in southeastern China, the warm climate and abundant water are still very suitable for grain cultivation.
A large number of Shanyue people have been moved out, and naturally need the soil to survive, under normal circumstances, these Shanyue people are afraid to be tunmin, but Zhuge Jun came up with this method of Juntian. Let the Shanyue people reclaim the wasteland by themselves. When these settlers reclaimed new land for cultivation, they naturally had to pay taxes, while after the settlers died, they had to hand over the land to the state, and in any sense of the word, Sun Quan earned it.
At the same time, Sun Quan's fundamental purpose is to open up the south of the Yangtze River, as long as the original deep mountains and old forests are turned into fertile fields, people will naturally pour in, and this opening of the south of the Yangtze River is equivalent to more than half of the success.
β¦β¦
News of Sun Quan's implementation of Juntian soon spread to Chang'an.
When Adou got the news, he immediately thought of the Juntian system in later generations.
"I'm really stupid, now Yongzhou is so short of people, there are a lot of wasteland that no one cultivates, how can I forget this uniform land system! Another year wasted! Adou sighed slightly.
"Come on, recruit the prime minister, the Taifu and the Taiwei, as well as the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and enter the palace to discuss matters!"
