Chapter 5 Towards Unification Section 48

Liu Bei's earnest admonition was exchanged for the child's innocent words: "Father, is the Wa Kingdom fun?" Is that land worth the fight? ”

Liu Bei's heart sank - it turned out that I had been talking for a long time, and I said it in vain.

Standing at the gate of the mansion, Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng and thought about it, and chose the wording, not only to Liu Feng, but also to the officials outside the mansion: "Our whaling ships in Qingzhou are mainly active in that area, well, with the Wa Kingdom, for the time being, our whaling ships have a place to rest, you know, the income from whaling is much greater than raising cattle, sheep and farming." Allowing our fishermen to have a nearby place to rest and replenish can greatly increase the amount of whaling.

Some time ago, Izumo Gakuin Gemono Department (a collective name for physical chemistry) discovered that cooking fat with soda can make a kind of pancreatic (soap-like substance), which is especially convenient for bathing and laundry. And the fat on a whale's body can make tens of thousands of pancreas. With the development and sales of pancreas, whaling will inevitably become a pillar industry in Qingzhou in the future. Now take precautions and take the Wa Kingdom, so that the fishermen of Qingzhou can go further in the ocean.

In the long run, it is a good place to grow rice, and the rice grown is exceptionally sweet - I will bring back a few kinds of rice, and I will come back to make porridge for you to drink - if it is vigorously developed, it will become the granary of my big man. Since then, even if there have been disasters in the Central Plains, our four prefectures of Qingdao, Hebei, and Youyou have not been worried about the lack of food, which is the main reason for taking the Wa Kingdom. ”

The Chinese nation on the great slope can be regarded as the country with the worst geographical conditions in the world, and historically, the history of civilization for thousands of years can be described as unstoppable, and whenever a catastrophe and famine come, the suffering of the nation comes. The Chinese nation has been able to create a brilliant civilization under such harsh conditions, and when it comes to national perseverance, it can be regarded as unparalleled in the world. However, for thousands of years, our nation has been reluctant to look squarely overseas – both materially and culturally, and the limitations of vision have limited the nation's efforts to emerge from suffering.

If there is an overseas territory that can provide us with food and avoid famine in the event of a disaster in the Central Plains, what kind of history will a people who have escaped periodic turmoil and war create?

Changing the dynasty and letting the emperor sit in turn, as written in China's thousands of years of history, can our nation get rid of the wheel of fate? But if we guide our nation to look overseas and to the world, then the destiny of our nation will truly change.

Liu Bei made a posture of stepping, his toes hesitantly stayed on the threshold, and he said without words: "The second rule of life is: if you don't go out for a walk, you will think that what you see is all there is to the world." Child, you are still young, when you are older, I will let you see the whole world, at that time, you have the qualification to judge things, now, read more, listen more, ask more, don't make judgments. ”

Tian Chou saw Liu Bei's posture, stabbed him in frustration, and slammed Liu Bei's mouth. Frustrated, he approached Liu Bei's side and said in a low voice: "It has been confirmed, it is Miss Yan'er herself, and the housewife, Mrs. Gao and others are waiting in the mansion." ”

Liu Bei let out a long breath, a stone fell in his heart, his face was suddenly cheerful, his steps fell heavily, his hand was looking for something to grasp, pressing on the hilt of the sword, and he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly let go, turned around, took Liu Feng's hand, and slowly walked into the house.

Frustrated and waved his hand, signaling the officials to disperse. Only Yin Dong, Chen Qun, Tian Chou, and Xu Shu were left at the door. Frustrated and groaned, he advised: "Call Lu Su and Xun Yu too...... There is also Gao Tanglong, Zhou Yu is also counted, the lord may plan to meet overnight, let's go to the living room to wait. ”

Liu Bei took Liu Feng's hand and muttered to himself as he walked, I don't know whether to tell Liu Feng or to himself: "When you were young, you thought you had an answer to why, but when you are old, you may feel that there is no so-called answer in life." When man thinks, God laughs...... Sometimes, people are always so helpless and have to listen to the arrangement of fate. Child, since you can't get rid of fate, then try to sit in a good chair with God...... Don't look for answers everywhere, it will make you unhappy in life, you don't have to see all the roads ahead, just see one or two steps clearly, the important thing is to 'grasp', grasp the opportunity, grasp the happiness, grasp the opportunity......"

Liu Bei chattered, like an old man nostalgic for the past, recalling everything in the past, and slowly walked into the inner room.

At that moment, the wind, frost and snow moon came to my face, and the bitterness and bitterness came to the waves, and thousands of worries were finally clear......

Liu Bei only said softly: "It's okay to say goodbye for many years?" The floodgates of time suddenly opened......

The howling tears could not wash away the joy of seeing each other, Liu Bei stood for a long time, and Fang struggled to spit out a few words: "It's not too late to see each other, as long as you see it, it will be a reward from the gods, we still have many words, and we will say it slowly in the future." ”

Huang Ying and Cai Zhaoji repeatedly relieved Zhang Yan'er, who was crying softly, and Liu Bei was silent for a long time and quietly walked out of the house.

At the door of the house where he was waiting, as soon as he saw him, Liu Bei split his head and said: "Don't tell me about the experience of her rescue, I'm afraid that my mind is not strong enough, my nerves are not strong enough, this matter is over...... Reward Li Jin heavily, remember, I owe Yu Poison a favor and stop recourse against him. ”

Frustrated with a slight smile, he immediately found that this expression was inappropriate at the moment, and hurriedly explained: "We told Li Jin that the reward for finding Miss Yan'er was White Wolf City, and Li Jin replied that he didn't dare to ask for the lord's manor, as long as the lord was willing to keep him, he would be allowed to dominate the territory." He is willing to use his own hands to earn his own land. ”

At that time, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, except for the kings of the Liu family, the common people were not allowed to have their own fiefs. But Qingzhou broke this rule, among the generals, Gao Shun, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others obtained their fiefs with bravery, there were four major military divisions who obtained fiefs with their talents, and Zheng Hun led the craftsmen who obtained fiefs with skills. The conceited talents and talents of the Central Plains are looking up to Qingzhou, looking for opportunities to enter Qingzhou and realize themselves. Li Jin, or someone sent by the Li clan to arrange another way out for the clan. Or was suppressed by the Li clan and looked for opportunities for himself - according to normal history, Li Dian, who is now vigorously supported by the Li clan, in order to make way for Li Dian, the Li clan had to hide the only person in the Three Kingdoms era who defeated Lu Bu on a frontal battlefield.

According to Liu Bei's speculation, he would rather believe the latter.

"The selection of officials in Qingzhou has its own set of rules: imperial examination, veteran identification, and supervision system. I'd rather give him a White Wolf City than destroy our official selection system. Tell him that he can take the white wolf fief at any time, and the children of the Li family can not pay the lord tax during the period when they live in the white wolf. As for seeking office, I only have the right to appoint officers of the Guards, otherwise, I must go through the procedure through the Senate. If he has the heart, he can first serve as a guard officer, learn as he goes, and after passing the imperial examination, I can recommend him to the Senate, but he must earn his own military merits. Liu Bei categorically rejected Li Jin's request.

Frustrated nodded, and replied, "The officials also think that it must be so." ”

Liu Bei smiled happily: "The officials know their authority, and I am very relieved." ”

Frustrated, he bowed and thanked: "The lord knows his authority, and the people are very relieved." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked together.

In the conference room, everyone was lying on the huge map, busy up and down. Liu Bei and Frustrated Shou quietly walked into the house, paced to the map, and thought while looking at the map.

"In the Jiangnan water network area, it is not easy to expand the large corps", Liu Bei looked at it for a long time and said with emotion.

Xu Shu had traveled in the south of the Yangtze River, so he was already familiar with the identity of geography, and replied casually: "Yes, there is no navy, it is not good to move there, but unfortunately, most of our navy is the navy, and Wen Ping took him south......

As he said this, Xu Shu suddenly realized that the voice was very familiar, and when he turned his head, it was Liu Bei, and the rest of the room had already stopped and were staring at his back, watching him talk to Liu Bei with a big grin.

"Forgive sins, forgive sins", Xu Shu arched his hand. Although Liu Bei himself is informal, as Liu Bei occupies more and more territory and has more and more power, everyone unconsciously began to treat Liu Bei with the same courtesy as the kings of the clan, although Liu Bei is only a prince of the country and a marquis of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei waved his hand and turned the topic back to the war situation: "It's okay, you are a minister of entrepreneurship, don't be so polite, let's talk about it, after Sun Ce's death, what is the dynamic?" ”

Xu Shu took a breath, pointed to the map and said: "Last year, after receiving our reinforcements, Sun Ce has occupied all the land in Yangzhou, but unfortunately Sun Ce's methods are tough, arousing a strong resistance from the Hao clan in Yangzhou, he killed Xu Gong of the Xu clan and slaughtered the Xu clan in the name of rebellion. In the end, the dead soldiers of the Xu clan who slipped through the net designed an ambush.

After that, with the support of Sun Jian's wife, Wu, the bereaved ministers supported Sun Quan, Sun Ce's younger brother. Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, but the other party did not tell us what he meant, and now the south has begun to squeeze out the past elected officials of Qingzhou, and the clan contradictions have been transferred and intensified to the heads of Qingzhou officials.

In all of this, I believe that Sun Quan and the officials in the south had the intention of gradually breaking away from the covenant. The divisions discussed the need to show our force to the South at this time, to draw them back into our arms. ”

Liu Bei touched his chin thoughtfully, and said: "Jian'an County (Fujian), Linhai County are mountainous, Fanyang County, Lujiang County, and Yuzhang County are swampy, and it is difficult for heavy cavalry to move. The Hao clan did not fully agree with Sun Quan's rule, and they were afraid that they would defeat Sun Quan, and the Hao clan supported their respective lords, and the Shanyue tribe continued to come out to harass from the deep mountains and old forests. I'm waiting for city by city to fight, and I'm really stuck in the southern quagmire. ”

"Side-knocking?" Tian Chou interjected.

"Knock whom?" Liu Bei asked.

"Yuan Shu?" Tian Chou asked tentatively.

"No, you have to choose someone who can have to cross the border from Yangzhou to attack. Yuan Shu can attack from Xuzhou crossing, if Sun Quan refuses our army to cross, we will turn our faces against him because of this, the intention is too obvious, and it is easy to cause a bad feeling in Yangzhou. ”

Frustrated, he broke through the mystery: "Then Jingzhou, standing in Lujiang County, can attack Yuan Shu to the west and Liu Biao to the east." Liu Biao was edicted but did not come to King Qin, just in the name of crusade. ”

Zhou Yu had been silent in the house, and now when he saw that he raised his hand and suggested that he change the direction of the attack, he immediately agreed: "That's right, capturing Jingzhou is an enclave for our army, and in the end we have to let Sun Ce supervise it, so it is natural for us to ask him for food and grass supplies, this is the best reason." ”

Tian Chou glanced at Zhou Yu and suggested: "If our army enters Lujiang County, in order to ensure the smooth supply of our army, I propose to take over the local power of Lujiang County, and transfer the Qingzhou officials who have been more excluded to Lujiang to fully implement the laws of Qingzhou." Even if we go later, we will have to plant a nail in Yangzhou.

Lujiang is one of the best places to develop in Yangzhou, as long as we let Lujiang County not collect a share of agricultural taxes in the future, Yangzhou's financial resources will inevitably be greatly lost. The Lujiang River, located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, connects the four prefectures of Henan, Jing, Yi, and Yang, and we can turn it into a commercial hub, and in the future, let our ships go up the river and sell goods to the land of the four states, and ask the Senate for appropriation for this reason, and we will certainly not delay our military spending. ”

With more and more people graduating from Qingzhou School, in recent years, people who understand mathematics have begun to enter the household department, and the household department has set up a budget bureau, taking advantage of the new policy launched on the occasion of this year's yuan change, requiring Qingzhou's finance to live within its means, and all major moves must be budgeted first, and then let the Senate review and allocate funds in the expenditure items. Every year, the income and expenditure items are all predicted by the important ministers, and approved by Liu Bei. Because of this, Liu Bei became more and more relieved to get out of specific government affairs - the Senate gatekeeper, and wanted to buy off all the elders, but Liu Bei did not dare to guarantee it; Local finances and taxes belong to the central government, and there is no appropriation, so if you want to rebel, you can't find the money to buy weapons.

"Okay, late tonight, the matter of Yangzhou will be discussed here, the time will be calculated, and the clerk is ready to return. We must be ready to meet it", Liu Bei seemed to suddenly remember, and said: "By the way, in the first year of the Yuan Jian'an this year, I forgot one thing, well, that is, on the occasion of the Yuan change, the new calendar - the solar calendar." ”

With the mentality of the Chinese people, wait for the new calendar to be changed after Wen Ren returns, everyone will think that this is a barbarian calendar, no matter whether it is good or not, resist first. In fact, although the observation of the 24 solar terms of the Han Dynasty is slightly later than that of the West, it is no worse than that of the Western world. In the study of astronomy, the Han is very proud. With the level of the Han calendar, the solar calendar was implemented without any technical difficulties.

"The 24 solar terms are of great significance to agricultural production, and the calculation of the 24 solar terms is based on the angle of the sun's incidence, and the solar calendar is used as the calendar, which can fix the 24 solar terms in one or two days of the month, which can eliminate the cumbersome calculation. Also, the lunar calendar is 30 days a month, 12 months a year, and the error in a year is as long as five days, and the solar calendar is calculated according to 365 days a year, and we will no longer use leap months in the future, and there will be no embarrassment of two August months every year - at least our agricultural and animal husbandry festivals no longer worry about choosing a day.

Also, as you know, the sun is used as a positioning system, which can determine the southeast, northwest, and latitude and longitude, and the solar calendar can be used to determine our latitude and longitude more correctly, so that the technical obstacles to our fishermen's ocean navigation will be lifted. Now it seems that the technical obstacle of ocean navigation, in addition to how to position in the vast sea, is also the quality of our sails, the sails made of homespun cloth are soaked in seawater, they become hard and brittle, and they are easy to tear when the wind blows, and the fishermen have to repair the sails at the end of each voyage, so our ships do not sail far.

This time to the south, are made of brocade sails, although durable, but too expensive, and so Wen Ping from the Great Qin State back, obtained the Great Qin State canvas production technology, plus we use the solar calendar, more accurate positioning of the ship in the sea, all the technical obstacles to ocean navigation have been solved, our fishermen can travel farther in the sea. ”

When Liu Bei said this, he smiled slightly: "I heard that there is a sailor in Jiangxia who also uses Jinfan, known as Jinfan thief Gan Ning, it seems that he has also discovered the secret of Jinfan's durability." ”

Using the lunar calendar to calculate the year, the error is too large. For example, for more than 2,000 years, the debate over the date of Confucius' birth has gone from time to time and has never stopped. The ancient origins of the Kong family, but they can't figure out what the meaning of Ding Mao Yue, Jia Shen Yue, and Gui Chief Moon represents back then, and how much Jia Shen minus Ding Mao is equal to? Jiazi counts the year method of 60 years for a reincarnation, Jiashen subtracts Ding Mao, and the number can be 1, 61, or any other number.

Later, the Kong family asked almanacists to calculate the date of Confucius's birth, and according to the records of the historical books "The Legend of the Ram" and "The Legend of Gu Liang", Confucius should have been born on September 28, 552 BC (the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar is August 27). According to Sima Qian's "Historical Records. The Family of Confucius estimates that Confucius should have been born on September 28, 551 BC.

After the invention of the computer, after a long and huge calculation, it was calculated that Confucius should have been born on September 8, 552 BC (the Gregorian calendar, the 27th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar). It can be seen that using the lunar calendar, even the birth date of our holy master cannot be confirmed.

Liu Bei chatted with everyone, so excited that he couldn't sleep a little, and was about to beckon everyone to drink some wine to celebrate, but Lu Su, who was on duty in the Governor's Mansion, was late. As soon as he saw him, Liu Bei joked: "Zijing, I am waiting for the military meeting, and you dare to be late, just right, we are going to drink some wine to celebrate the completion of the military conference." Well, three drinks will be fined to you. ”

Lu Su looked solemn and reported: "Lord, the imperial court is in an urgent situation for eight hundred miles, and the Holy Lord issued an edict ordering the lord to send troops to quell the rebellion. ”
