Chapter 8 The Turbulent Second Year of Zhongping
The meeting with Sun Jian was like a reunion of old friends. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is no intrigue, and there is no open and secret fighting, it's just that two friends who haven't met for a long time are just pulling together for a while. Sun Jian was asking Gao Ye for his support in food and grass, as calmly as a good friend borrowing money. Gao Ye's invitation to Sun Jian to attend his wedding is also a matter of course.
In the second year of Zhongping, the news that Gao Ye was going to get married spread almost all over the Han Dynasty. This is not only because Cai Yong is a famous Confucian all over the world and has a wide range of contacts. At the same time, it is also because of the strength of Gao Ye now, no matter who looks at it, he is a real prince. As a powerful candidate for world domination, how can his every move not be cared about by others?
What's more, such a thing as Gao Ye getting married, under the deliberate propaganda of Cai Yong, Xun Jing and others, spread the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty for a while, and even Gongsun Zhan, who was far away in Youzhou, and Dong Zhuo, who was still in Chang'an, knew the news. It's just that for Gao Ye, although with the help of Yu Ji, the wedding date of April 25 was determined, which is a happy event. But how to arrange the nearly 100,000 people who had just been abducted from Runan really made Gao Ye busy. To be honest, without Xun Yu, these internal affairs really kept Gao Ye busy. Don't look at Guo Jia, he can be regarded as a talented eight buckets, but let him deal with these trivial matters, it is better to be Gao Ye. It was only at this time that Guo Jia sighed again and again, it would be really difficult to live without Xun Wenruo!
The 80,000 yellow scarves under Liu Pi and Gong Du were directly dispersed to various counties by Gao Ye. The wasteland, which had been reclaimed due to a large amount of labor and advanced agricultural tools, but was abandoned due to lack of manpower, now has finally its owner. Gao Ye has already ordered that everyone can divide the land according to the amount of land, and as for the matter of the military tun, it will be discussed in the long run. Liu Bi and Gong didn't know what kind of errand the two of them were taking until this time, not only did they have a lot of trivial matters, but the most important thing was that they had to go to the counties often. Gao Ye said that the captain of the agricultural school is a practical job, of course, he must go to the grassroots level more to understand the situation. Although I don't know what the grassroots level is, I understand the actual situation in various places, and I still understand it. Fortunately, Gao Ye arranged a lot of people for the two of them to follow Xun Yu to engage in Tuntian, which allowed their work to proceed smoothly.
As for the 8,000 people under He Man, they are different from the yellow scarves under Liu Pi and the others, they were defeated and captured, unlike others who took the initiative to surrender. Therefore, their main work is also different from those yellow scarves. Their most important job is to go to Yangzhai, and under the leadership of Gao Ye's retainer Gongyan, Ou Xiong, Yan Qiong and Cui Mao, they will go to expand Yingchuan Academy with peace of mind. This Gong Yan is a descendant of Lu Ban, Ou Xiong is a descendant of Ou Yezi, and Yan Qiong is a descendant of the Mo family, both of whom have a lot of research and inheritance in the fields of civil engineering, construction, and timbermaking, and Gao Ye is not worried about the quality of the house at all.
may also be frightened by the many tofu scum projects in later generations, Gao Ye only has one sentence for the three of them to expand the academy: "What I hope is that the eternal will not fall!" It is better to use bricks and boulders, and try to use as little wood as possible. "The reason why Gao Ye said this is actually because wood is easy to be eaten by insects, although there are some preventive measures, but compared to masonry, it is still worse. The most important thing is that he has the formula of cement, and with the help of Gong Yan, he made a crane arm, so it is not difficult to build a house with bricks and stones. Another point is that all the etiquette systems have a strict hierarchical distinction between buildings, and what kind of person can use a room with as many beams and columns as many as it can be clearly written, so how can Gao Ye, who is bent on building the academy the best in the world, be satisfied? I can't go beyond the rules in this matter, otherwise I don't talk about the old-fashioned ones like Cai Yong and Xun Jing, even some students may have to criticize them verbally and in writing.
As for Cui Mao, he is the shopkeeper who is responsible for buying building materials for a few of them, after all, the three of them are all working guys, and they always need someone to help them manage the money. In addition, those three people are all good at spending money, if there is no reliable person to watch, even if Gao Ye is rich and rivals the country, they will have to spend it poorly.
This wave of high manpower can be used for free for five years, and then the land will be allocated, and it will be good from then on. This is the guarantee of the high night, people, always have to have a little hope, otherwise who can work for the high night for free in peace? Now they have hope, and they can use it safely.
Gao Ye arranged these things while preparing for his own wedding. The most important thing is that Gao Ye wants to give Cai Yan an unforgettable wedding, so naturally he can't complete the whole ceremony in an ordinary way. With Cai Yong's old-fashioned presence, don't think about things like changing the wedding process, so you can only start from the perspective of surprise. If you want to talk about surprises, the first thing that catches your eye is the ceremonial flowers, which are all over the world during the New Year's holidays in later generations. If gunpowder has not even been invented now, how can there be such a technical thing as a gift flower?
However, the later generations of ceremonial flowers are varied, and the manufacturing process is also extremely complicated, and the Liuyang fireworks that are very famous in later generations have a total of 12 processes, 72 processes, how cumbersome. If it weren't for that, I don't think it would have been included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage. If you want to make fireworks, the most important thing is to be able to make gunpowder first. In the later generations of high night universities, there was a college that studied gunpowder, and on weekdays, I listened to the braggadocio of my classmates in other colleges, and I knew some of the original gunpowder formulas after all. Maybe it's not enough to blow people up, but it shouldn't be a problem to send fireworks to the sky.
Especially since Cai Yan has now lived in Yangzhai, Gao Ye has time to tinker with these things. Sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal, with the existence of the Yingchuan Chamber of Commerce, it is easy for Gao Ye to get these. In fact, the principle of making fireworks is very simple, similar to the principle of earthen cannons during the Anti-Japanese War. It is necessary to have a cylindrical structure, and after the soil is beaten at the bottom and filled with gunpowder, the inner cylinder where the gunpowder and some metal luminescent agent or coloring agent are placed in it. The inner barrel relies on the explosive power of the gunpowder at the bottom and flies into the sky, and as for what kind of fireworks will look like in the sky, it depends entirely on the inner cylinder.
It's not difficult to say, but it's hard to really do it, Gao Ye deliberately took a month to make it, and found a place outside the city where no one experimented. In the month of engagement, the people in Yingyin City always heard inexplicable thunder, and the crowd who were a little scared at the beginning got used to it after listening to it more.
By the time Gao Ye was really done, the time had already entered April, and when he finally returned to Gao Ye in Taishou Mansion, he really knew what had happened in the world in the past few months when he was not doing his job. Under Guo Jia's report and his own memories were confirmed, Gao Ye suddenly found that it seemed that nothing had changed so far except for saving Cai Yong and marrying Cai Yan.
“…… Now that Yuan Shao has captured Jizhou, to be honest, Feng Ji's trick is played beautifully, and Yuan Shao will occupy Jizhou without blood. Gao Ye said with a smile on the side, "Now that Yuan Shao's foothold in Jizhou is not stable, and He Gongsun Zan has started a war, the land of Hebei is lively." ”
"In fact, it's not how clever Feng Ji's strategy is, it's just that Han Fu is too timid and afraid, with many soldiers and horses, and abundant food and grass, he actually surrendered to Yuan Shao. I really don't know how he became the assassin of Jizhou. Guo Jia said disdainfully on the side, he was dissatisfied with Gao Ye's praise of Feng Ji's behavior.
"Strategies are such things, as long as they are successful, they are all clever. Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Gao Ye shook his head and smiled, Guo Jia's character of being the first in the world has started again, so there is no one in his eyes, I am afraid that I will suffer in the future. To be honest, why haven't I seen Guo Jiayou's posture of exhaustive strategy when he assisted Cao Cao later?
"Haha, I'm just talking. Isn't this following what you said about 'strategically despising the opponent' as you said Big Brother? Not to mention this, Sun Jian suddenly sent troops 25 days ago, and now he has crossed the water and entered Deng County. Huang Zu, the general under Liu Biao's account, can be said to be defeated and retreated. ”
"Wentai is brave and known all over the world, so it's not surprising. It's just that this Huang Zu is not an incompetent person, maybe he will think of some trick and kill Wentai. Although Wentai can fight, when it comes to intrigues, he is not good at it. And if he goes deep into Jingzhou for hundreds of miles, I'm afraid that his supplies won't be able to keep up. ”
"It's also said that the Jingzhou family is still willing to respect Liu Biao after all, although Sun Tingshi is now in full swing, he can't stand the invasion of the local family on his grain road. Besides, Fancheng is a difficult bone to gnaw, and if he wants to hit Xiangyang, it is estimated that there is no hope. ”
"Forget it, what do you want to do so much, anyway, it's good that I don't have a war in Yingchuan now. Let's be busy with my wedding first, it's the eighth day of April now, and it's not a few days before it's full, the wedding banquet has to be prepared, the dress has to be prepared, and all those messy things, have you prepared them for me? ”
"Don't worry, my eldest brother, I'll be ready for you in the days when you toss that fireworks, but you, if you can't shine with that fireworks, you will be ashamed at that time."
"Whether you can shine or not, you will know when the time comes. Also, my father-in-law sent out so many posts, and it was also a problem to welcome these celebrities when the time came. I really don't know what my father-in-law thinks, but he actually sent a post to Hedong Wei's family, although I know that he has the intention of repairing, but he did this, isn't this a slap in the face of the Wei family! This time, I think this beam is completely finished! ”
"You don't have to worry about that. The trivial matters are handled properly by me and the guys you have taught. As for safety, what are you afraid of with Zilong and Wen Yuan. Now you don't have to think about anything, get ready to be your groom! ”
