Dian Wei rode his horse and walked beside the carriage without hurrying. One hundred elite knights were divided into two teams, divided into two sides, and the escort of seven or eight carriages marched on the wide and smooth galloping road.

Pang Degong and Sima Hui, two scholars, drove away the horseman and drove in person, just for the surprise of Youzhou's characteristics along the way.

"Commander, Yuyang City is almost here, right?"

Pang Degong asked with a smile.

"Exactly," Dian Wei pointed ahead, and said, "About three or five miles away, there is a post station, after that post station, and then seven or eight miles, it is Yuyang City." ”

Pang Degong and Sima Hui nodded. Since entering Jizhou on this road, the road has been smoother and wider, and there is a post station that provides rest every ten miles and eight miles, which makes people recover from fatigue. But after all, both of them are old, and they are really tired after a long journey, and they can't wait to arrive in Yuyang immediately, rest and rest, and recuperate their spirits.

After getting the answer he wanted, the second elder took care of himself and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

At the end of April, in the endless fields by the roadside, a large expanse of green wheat rolls under the breeze, like waves in the sea, which makes people feel fresh and refreshed.

From time to time, there are farmers carrying hoes and rakes and carrying baskets on their backs to walk along the gallop road, with a satisfied and sweet smile on their faces.

Sima Hui pointed to the sea of wheat and said with a smile: "This way, it is the waves of wheat rolling. As long as God has mercy and does not send natural disasters, this year will definitely be a bumper year! ”

Pang Degong thought so, but said: "Even if God doesn't have mercy, it must be fine." Look at the canals in the fields, extending in all directions, regardless of drought or flood, they can be solved perfectly. But if the locust god comes, then it will be"

Dian Wei on the side interjected at this time: "That's impossible." ”

"Why do you say that?" Pang Degong was interested: "The locust plague has always been very harmful, but there is no solution. Could it be that the King of Yuyang already has a way to deal with it properly? ”

Sima Hui also turned his head and listened intently.

"Hehe," Dian Wei said proudly: "We have not had a locust plague in Youzhou for ten years!" ”

"Ten years"

Pang Degong and Sima Hui glanced at each other, and their hearts were shocked. To say that these ten years can be regarded as the most painful decade of the Han Dynasty. Natural disasters in the Central Plains are continuous, and locust plagues occur almost every year, making the people miserable. I didn't expect that there had been no disaster in this Youzhou for ten years, which is really incredible!

"En," Dian Wei nodded, "My young master once said that we can't stop disasters, but we can prevent them!" For example, in response to floods and droughts, the young master proposed to dig channels to discharge floods when the sky rains, and when the weather is unfavorable, they will be used for irrigation. For example, the locust plague, the young master said, the locust is not a locust god, it is also an animal, and there are many ways to prevent it. ”

"For example, at night in the summer, they make a fire in the field to lure these pests and burn them to death. Or every household feeds more chickens and ducks, which can also effectively suppress locust pests in front of and behind the house. The most important thing is that the heavens and the earth must be ploughed over in winter! ”

"Oh?" Pang Degong and Sima Hui glanced at each other, and they still understood the burning insects. Isn't there an allusion to a moth fighting a fire? Domesticating chickens and ducks can also be said to be reasonable, and chickens and ducks feed on them. But what does this locust plague have to do with the winter ploughing of the world?

"Is there any mystery in this?" Sima Hui asked curiously.

"Not really!" Dian Wei said: "I didn't understand it before, but after asking the young master, I found out." It turned out that the locusts lay their eggs in the soil every autumn, and in the winter they ploughed the ground, so that the cold could freeze the eggs to death, and the next year there were no locusts. ”

"I see!"

The two suddenly realized.

"Tsk, I didn't expect there to be so much knowledge in this!" Pang Degong sighed: "It is said that the king of Yuyang is a pedantic man, and the old man believes it this time!" ”

Zhuge Xuan and Huang Chengyan sat in the driving seat of the second carriage, and like Pang Degong and others, they also drove the coachman off the stage early and took the position himself.

"This Youzhou is really extraordinary." Huang Chengyan shook the fan in his hand, shook his head and said: "Since entering the scope of Jizhou, I have been surprised, surprised. When I arrived in Youzhou, there was only shock left, incomparably shocking. I can now say with certainty that the king of Yuyang is the one who dominates the world! And, hehe, Brother Yinyi, I'm very optimistic about your future! ”

Zhuge Xuan also smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "I hope." ”

"Not hopefully, yes!" Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "Why did the King of Yuyang exchange the benefits of millions of gold for you Zhuge Xuan to come to Youzhou?" Without him, talent! Yinyi, your talent, it's not that I don't give you face, it can only be regarded as average, but Xiaoliangzi and Ziyu, hehe, the dragon and phoenix among people! I think this is the idea that King Yuyang played. But I'm a little puzzled, where did King Yuyang know about Xiao Liangzi and Ziyu? ”

Huang Chengyan flashed suspiciously, and said with a smile: "For the sake of Xiao Liangzi and Ziyu, King Yuyang will not treat you badly." When your two nephews are prosperous, can they benefit from you? ”

Zhuge Xuan was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect to come here at all. It's not that he doesn't know Zhuge Jin's talent and Zhuge Liang's demons, but these two nephews have been practicing in Lumen Mountain and have never shown the slightest rumor, just like Huang Chengyan said, where did Yuyang know?

"I said Yinyi, let's discuss, how about it?" Huang Chengyan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "My little girl is only ten years old, and she is just the right match with Xiaoliangzi, why don't I get married to the two families?" ”

Zhuge Xuan was stunned again, looked Huang Chengyan up and down, and said, "Are you so sure that Xiaoliangzi will fly Huang Tengda?" Don't regret it! ”

"Hmph," Huang Chengyan snorted and said, "When did I, Huang Chengyan, make a mistake in my vision?" This Youzhou is thriving, Jizhou is also full of amazing vitality, and Youzhou is continuing to have an incomparably deep heritage! However, the other princes are now fighting to the death, the population of the Central Plains has decreased sharply, and when the king of Yuyang goes south, who can stop it, and what can he resist? Not to mention the elite of the Youzhou army, it has always been invincible in the world! ”

"In a word, should you?" Huang Chengyan snorted and said, "If you shouldn't, we friends won't have to do it!" ”

"Ugh!" Zhuge Xuan almost choked.

"This, it depends on Ziyu and Xiaoliangzi's own opinions. Although I am Xiao Liangzi's uncle, Ziyu is his eldest brother. The so-called eldest brother is the father, Brother Huang, if you want to conclude this family business, you have to ask Ziyu's opinion. Zhuge Xuan shirked.

"En" Huang Chengyan frowned: "That's right, it seems that I have to find someone to communicate with Ziyu." ”

In the third carriage, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, two young people, also drove in person.

"Hehe, Xiao Liangzi, are you convinced this time?"

Pang Tongyi shook his horsewhip and said with a smile: "What you have seen and heard along the way, can it prove that King Yuyang is the hero?" Can it be proved that the king of Yuyang can set the country? ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time, and quibbled: "Isn't Yuyang still unifying the country now, and others are not without opportunities."

"Hey, little Liangzi, you have always been arrogant, why is your voice so small this time? I can't hear it! Hahaha" Pang Tong laughed and said: "In terms of territory, the king of Yuyang has occupied half of the country; In terms of military strength, the elite Baisheng division under the command of King Yuyang exceeded one million; On the population, hehe, this doesn't have to be said, right? As for money and food, you don't need to talk about what you've seen along the way, right? In terms of talents, are Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Chen Qun, Fu Zhu, and Jia Xu not smart enough? Xu Huang, Huang Chang, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Zhang Fei These generals are not powerful enough? In terms of wisdom, hehe, if you are the king of Yuyang, you are not wise, and everyone in the world is stupid. ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time before he said: "Brother Tong, have you thought about it, there are many talents under the command of King Yuyang, let's go, can we be reused?" ”

Pang Tong was stunned when he heard this, and was silent for a long time, and said with some uncertainty: "I haven't thought about this." However, Yuyang Wang is useful, I think with our ability, it is impossible not to be reused! Don't you have confidence, Xiaoliangzi? ”

"Let's see"

Later, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Cui Zhouping and others were also talking about this matter, and from time to time there were praises and sighs, and they came from afar

Batch after batch of scholars came to Yuyang, which brought a lot of pressure to Yuyang, but also made huge gains.

Some scholars thought that Yuyang was very suitable for learning, so they started to stay in Yuyang, and even applied for the college as a professor. Yes, they have a heart for officialdom, and they also have the idea of visiting Liu Yuan and seeking a half-official position.

In addition, the arrival of these many people has made the shops, wine shops, etc. in Yuyang City also make a lot of money.

Wang fu.

Liu Yuan's two legs were about to break in the past two days. From the palace to the official office building, and then to Youzhou College, three points and one line, running non-stop. From time to time, there are problems of one kind or another that he needs to deal with.

After all, this academic exchange meeting can be said to have set a precedent, and Fu Zhu and others have no experience, so they can only do it by Liu Yuan.

In the palace, in the backyard.

Sun Jian, Zhou Yu, Xiahou Brothers, Chen Gong and Cai Yang stood aside, and in the field, Sun Ce was competing with Dianman.

Both of them are not very old, but they are both extraordinary in martial arts, and they are very fierce.

Within a radius of ten zhang, the vigorous air flowed, whirring, and the sound of ping-pong blades clashing from time to time resounded in the ears.

"Uncle Sun," Zhou Yu said to Sun Jian, "I heard that the day after tomorrow, that is, on the first day of the fifth month, Yuyang City will hold an academic exchange meeting. At that time, hundreds of schools, the world's great Confucianism, and cultural furniture will participate. ”

Sun Jian watched the battle in the field and said, "Yes, this move by King Yuyang can be described as groundbreaking. In addition, there are Kang Chenggong, Feibai Gong, Wenju Gong and other great Confucians here, and scholars from all over the world come to the event! ”

"This move captures the hearts of students all over the world, and Youzhou is strong and prosperous at hand," Zhou Yu sighed: "King Yuyang is really powerful, no wonder"

At this moment, the fight in the field ended.

Sun Ce fell to the ground, unable to get up from exhaustion. Dian Man was slightly better, but he was also panting.

"You kid, you have a lot of strength!"

Sun Ce slowly stood up, covered his half-blue face, and said while panting.

"You're not bad either!"

Dianman walked over, helped Sun Ce, and walked over.

The two have fought a lot during this period of time, and it can be said that they don't know each other, and they have become good friends.

"Come, rest first." Sun Jian smiled and handed over the two kettles. The two of them each took one and grunted it all.

Zhou Yu was not interested in martial arts skills, and wanted to chat with Sun Jian, but Sun Jian was absent-minded, so he felt very bored, so he said to everyone: "I heard that an exchange venue is being arranged in the square, why don't we go and have a look?" Relax? ”

This proposal was approved by several people, so they changed their clothes, washed up, and walked out of the palace.
