Regarding Zhang Su helping Zhang Song to ask for leave, Ye Zhao only asked Zhang Su to let Zhang Song rest at home, Zhang Song has been really unlucky recently, I heard that he was thrown by a child at the door yesterday with eggs, which was also quite miserable.

I'm afraid that even Ye Zhao didn't expect that Zhang Song would be scolded so badly, and now the war-weariness in Shuzhong is so high, this is not necessarily a good thing, after he completes the transformation of Shuzhong in the future, he will eventually get out of Shuzhong and focus on the world.

However, this is not necessarily due to war-weariness, but this sign must be choked.

Now it is the spring ploughing period, the new type of plough has been seen everywhere in the ridges, this new type of plough is made according to the style of the later generations of curved wooden plough, one person can operate, and it is more labor-saving, at the same time there are two oxen to pull the heavy plow, such a plow costs a lot, generally only some rich peasants can use it at home, a plow can top ten people's work, others need more than ten days to plough the field, this plough can be completed in one day.

This is the Shengong Battalion from the beginning of the research and experiment in accordance with Ye Zhao's ideas in Hanoi Yejiazhuang Caochuang, until now it has taken a full fifteen years to put it into practice, and the productivity that has erupted is also very considerable.

Moreover, Ye Zhao found that some rich peasants would help other families plough their fields after plowing their own fields.

He made people remember the names of these people, and he was able to do this without any guidance, which showed that he had a good economic acumen, but Ye Zhao didn't have the idea of recruiting these people together, but he just felt that when the time was right, he could encourage these people to develop in business.

The development of agriculture in Shuzhong, with the use of manure, new ploughs and various iron farm tools, has reached a peak, this model, even until a thousand years later, will not be outdated, even if it is a later generation, experienced the industrial revolution, before the arrival of the intelligent era, in terms of foreign objects are not much stronger than now.

As for cultivating varieties, this needs to be derived after biological maturity, Ye Zhao does not have the knowledge reserve in this area, even if he knows some general principles, but without relevant knowledge, even experienced old farmers cannot do this.

Ye Zhao has built a department that focuses on the study of agriculture and records some farming experience, hoping that it can go further in the future, if knowledge wants to blossom and bear fruit, I am afraid it will take several generations or even more than ten generations of accumulation, Ye Zhao is not sure whether his descendants will continue this research after a hundred years, but he should always leave something valuable for future generations.

Although most people in Shu are very busy at this time, but as the lord of Yizhou, Ye Zhao looks quite idle, in fact, he is also really idle, as a leader, Ye Zhao has never felt that he should do everything himself, that will develop the inertia of his subordinates, Zhuge Liang is very unadvocated as Ye Zhao, after all, a person's energy is limited, as a leader, what he needs to do is to macroscopically control the future development direction of Shu and make some plans, as for the implementation, there are people below to do it.

It is impossible for him to be proficient in every industry, and he meddles rashly, and laymen guide insiders, which will make things worse many times, so most of the time, Ye Zhao is either reading books and exercising, or accompanying his three wives and concubines, or training soldiers in the military camp, and occasionally going to the academy to give a few lectures.

As for the content of the class, he can talk about everything, the literary foundation of the predecessor has basically been thoroughly digested by now, Ye Zhao is a famous general in the world above the art of war, and he is also the first to talk about it, but the disciples in the academy found that this lord seems to have a deep understanding of Gewu.

And the study of things, now Shuzhong Daxing is also telling the world that this thing is not what Confucianism calls strange skills, it can indeed improve the national strength of a country, and now the academy in the study of things, has gradually derived some classified disciplines, such as design, geological survey, etc., of course, the traditional blacksmith and carpenter will still not be outdated, but learning things is no longer a simple iron or logging, how to classify the same work, more effectively maximize efficiency, select materials, and the knowledge involved is compared with before, There are a lot of tall ones, and even many of the master craftsmen of the Divine Craft Camp are now running between the various schools to learn these things.

The Shengong Camp recruits new students every year, especially after the establishment of the academy in Gewuxue, they can clearly feel that the apprentices who have recently come in are very thoughtful, and are making new changes to the Shengong Camp, this change is from action to thinking, these old craftsmen feel that if they don't learn new things, they will be overtaken by these apprentices.

And most of the craftsmen of the Shengong Camp can't feel such a change, and still repeat their work day after day, Ye Zhao is helpless about this, people who are unwilling to progress, in the case of Shuzhong striding forward, can only be gradually eliminated, and in the end, these people can only watch those who are younger than them climb to their heads step by step.

As the only army composed entirely of craftsmen, the Shengong Battalion is not only under the banner of the army, but also enjoys the treatment of the army, such as family tax exemption, generous Yulu and officials who are not worse than those officials, some similar to Shaofu, but not exactly the same, in short, Ye Zhao is moving forward cautiously little by little, every step is not too big, but it is pushing this era forward.

This year seems to be another bumper year, after the thaw in early spring, although there is no heavy rain in Shuzhong, but there will be a continuous drizzle at both ends of the three days, I heard that Guanzhong is in drought this year, Li Dao and Guo Yan are trying to seek cooperation with the surrounding princes, hoping to get help, but whether it is Lu Bu or Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, they have chosen to ignore Li Dao and Guo Yan's request for help.

Ye Zhao felt that he had accepted the position of Tai Lieutenant and accepted the position of two marquises, at this time, he should help out, before he left Sichuan, he didn't want Guanzhong to be too chaotic, and the last thing in Shuzhong now was food.

At the beginning of April, Ye Zhao sent people to Chang'an to seek cooperation, he needed some iron ore, coal and horse breeds from the Western Regions, if Li Dao and Guo Yan could help him get these things, he would promise to send 200,000 stone of grain to Guanzhong every month, a total of 1.8 million stone, of course, in exchange for resources, there are also quantity requirements, and refuse to be shoddy.

Coal has been discovered and used in the Western Han Dynasty, but because it produces a lot of smoke and dust when burned, as well as poisonous gas, it is rarely used in other places except for some particularly cold areas in the north and the occasional use of blacksmiths.

It wasn't until Ye Zhao entered Shu that coal began to be widely used in industry, and the chimney greatly minimized the side effects of coal, in fact, as long as the ventilation and emission problems were dealt with, it was difficult for the toxic gas produced by coal to cause obvious harm to the human body.

Recently, the drizzle has been non-stop, Ye Zhao is about to leave after visiting Liu Wei as usual, Xin'er holds an oil umbrella to help Ye Zhao block the drizzle, although he is now the lord of Shu, but he has not snubbed Liu Wei's mother and son, as long as there is nothing too important, Ye Zhao will basically visit Liu Wei every day.

Now Liu Wei is a teenager, but recently he has become keen to learn Gewu...... In short, this prince has rarely cared about how to be a real emperor from the beginning to the present, first he was interested in solving cases, and then he learned to play chess with Ye Zhao for a few days, and now he likes to be very talented, and he seems to be quite talented in this regard, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

At the beginning, Ye Zhao refuted his face in the matter of the He family, and He Hou was very angry at first, but after a long time, Ye Zhao treated their mother and son with respect as always, and his own son did not mean to be contaminated with rights, He Hou also gave up, and treated Ye Zhao a lot kindly, after all, their mother and son can now rely on Ye Zhao to have today's prosperous life, in addition to having no rights, the diet and living are even much better than when they were in Luoyang.

"Smack"

The crisp sound of slapping carried a strong penetration in the rain curtain, and Ye Zhao, who was walking, suddenly stopped and frowned at the courtyard next door.

"Childe?" Xin'er looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously, a little puzzled.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Ye Zhao took Xin'er around and entered the courtyard next door.

In the continuous rain, a girl from the Nefan camp knelt on the ground, in front of her, it was Ren Hongchang and the three, their faces were not very good-looking, Ren Hongchang was holding a horse whip in his hand, and he was about to swing it down when he raised it again, but he was grabbed by Ye Zhao who came from behind.

"Lord!" Seeing Ye Zhao, Ren Hongchang, Li Shuxiang, Ma Nanxiang and the woman from the Niefan camp who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly bowed.

Ye Zhao nodded, did not speak, his eyes fell on the woman, her clothes had been torn, revealing the white flowery skin at the moment, but it was shocking to leave whip marks, and it was difficult to feel the slightest beauty on the back of the flesh.

Stretched out his hand and untied the cloak on his shoulder, helped the woman cover it, turned his head and said to Xin'er: "Go and call a doctor, preferably a female doctor." ”

"Whoa!" Xin'er bowed, handed the oil umbrella to Li Shuxiang on the side, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Zhao, stuffed the oil umbrella into her hand again, and motioned her to leave.

"Get up." After Xin'er left, Ye Zhao helped the punished woman up, looked at Ren Hongchang and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" What did she do wrong? ”

"Fornication!" Ren Hongchang bowed and said.

"What is fornication?" Ye Zhao looked at Ren Hongchang and frowned, "I don't remember that there is a prohibition on marriage in the Nifan Camp. ”

"But if you marry, you will leave the camp of Nirvan."

"Do you want the girls to be soldiers for the rest of your life?" Ye Zhao sighed, stretched out his hand and took off the mask on Ren Hongchang's face, just like the thrilling back then, but with a little more rigidity, counting up, these girls who followed him first were already in their twenties, and by the standards of this era, they were already old girls.

Ye Zhao suddenly felt a little indebted to these girls, the best years, but he followed a group of big men to spend on the battlefield, born and died, and finally didn't even find a home for them.

"Lord, Cui'e didn't betray her lord's heart, she just ......" The woman suddenly knelt in front of Ye Zhao and cried bitterly: "Cui'e really likes him!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Ren Hongchang's face turned cold, and he scolded sharply.

"Speak softly, don't make a noise to King Hongnong." Ye Zhao patted Ren Hongchang on the shoulder, helped her straighten her sideburns-soaked hair, turned her head to look at the woman named Cui'e and smiled, "Who is he?" ”

"My lord, this matter is my wishful thinking and has nothing to do with him." Cui'e looked panicked, and hurriedly bowed down.

"Nonsense, the girls in my Nivan camp, all of them are good women, it is his blessing to be able to marry you, how to say it is the same as upside down." Ye Zhao helped her up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't blame him, your father-in-law, have you ever lied to you?" ”

"This person's name is Huang Quan, he is a county official in Langzhong, Brazil, when Mr. Opera inspected Brazil, he was valued by Mr. Xi, recommended to Chengdu Academy, and when he came to design drawings for the palace and hussar mansion, he met Cui'e, and he had a private affair, and I found out yesterday that he had an affair." Ren Hongchang bowed and said.

"It's all said that it's not fornication, men love women, it's the great desire of people, is it possible that you let your sisters die alone in the Nirvan camp?" Ye Zhao glared at Ren Hongchang and said.

"Huang Quan, this name is a little familiar, it can be valued by Zhicai, I want to come to have something good, go and recruit this person, let me see it." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Lord, you ......"

"Go, in addition, the generals of the Nefan Battalion will also be recruited, there are some things, you may have misunderstood, and blame me, I didn't make it clear at the beginning." Ye Zhao waved his hand, looked back at Cui'e and said: "You also come with you, don't worry, if that Huang Quan can really be entrusted for life, in the future, this Nivan camp, as well as your lord and me, will be your mother's family, she dares to bully you and I will help you cut him." ”

"Whoa!" Ren Hongchang was helpless, but he could only follow the order.
