In the end, Jiangdong lifted heavy weights, and in the last resort, Sun Quan finally signed a covenant to post Jiangdong's six counties and eighty-one counties.

It's just that all the terms in it have been modified by the great Confucian Zhang Zhao, and the meaning is still the same, but the perception of the people in Jiangdong has completely changed.

Baqiu not only leased the port, but also deliberately emphasized two points, first, the lease period is five years, and Jiangdong will definitely be able to recover it after five years, and second, Jiangdong will collect taxes, emphasizing that the taxes will be used for people's livelihood, but the specific amount is not listed.

43,000 stone of grain, was "sold" by Zhang Zhao to the sky-high price, the Sichuan army paid a total of 500,000 yuan, or 500 million yuan, more than ten times higher than the market price, the people of Jiangdong saw it and raised their eyebrows, not only that, Jiangling also had to erect a stone monument of thanks to Jiangdong.

The goods of the Shu merchants, whether they were paper, porcelain, or others, were lower than those of other states and counties because of the continuous maturity of assembly lines and production technology, and Zhang Zhao announced that in order to form an alliance with Jiangdong, Liu Zhang ordered the merchants of Shuzhong to sell goods to Jiangdong at a low price.

This point was greatly welcomed by the people of Jiangdong, and in this way, the sale of goods to Jiangdong became a "concession" by the Sichuan army, and the people of Jiangdong had dignity and face, and they really got benefits.

Take books as an example, the price of books in Shuzhong is a few tenths of that in other places, not only the people can spend money to buy, but the people are also willing to buy, not only the merchants in Shuzhong are transported to sell, but also some merchants and enlightened families in other states and counties also go to Shuzhong to buy.

The commodities in Shuzhong made the prices in Jiangdong fall, and the people were naturally happy, and they all praised Sun Quan for his good governance.

As for announcing a break with Cao Cao, this was originally contrary to Jiangdong's policy of moderation, but in the absence of any way, it was also in the case that Cao Cao was strong and Liu Zhang was weak. Sun Quan declared that he had no turning back, starting from his ancestor Sun Wu, expressing Jiang Dongning's unbending feelings. swore not to share the sky with the national thief Cao Cao.

Sun Quan's loyalty to the Han family inspired the sun and the moon.

Sun Quan and Jiangdong Wenwu did not believe that Liu Zhang could defeat Cao Cao, no matter the population, land, and people's hearts were inferior to Cao Cao, which was the weight that Jiangdong used to balance Cao Cao.

The only one who can unify the world is Cao Cao. Instead of Liu Zhang, in such a situation, the biggest threat to Jiangdong's secession is only Cao Cao.

After thinking about it like this, the Jiangdong clan was balanced, and in their planning, it was originally to unite the weak and resist the strong, and the north and south to check and balance, and it was estimated that after uniting with Liu Zhang. in order to maintain a stable and divided situation, which is exactly what they want, so why not?

Although Lu Su felt that he saw life in Chengdu, he returned to Jiangdong and heard the disdain of Jiangdong Wenwu for the Sichuan army, and thought about it again. Immediately, he felt that the Sichuan army could not threaten Jiangdong.

Even if there is any more vitality, it is a fact that Jing Yi has been hit hard now, and the population and taxes are much less than Cao Cao in the north, how can it be possible to defeat Cao Cao in the competition for recuperation?

Lu Su began to feel again. Uniting with Liu Zhang is in line with the grand strategy of maintaining Jiangdong's separatism.

As a result, the contract immediately changed. The people and clans of Jiangdong felt that this was a great victory for Jiangdong's diplomacy, and the gifts given by Liu Zhang to Jiangdong's civil and military forces, as well as the high-standard reception and send-off of Lu Su by the Sichuan army, all confirmed this.

The people of Jiangdong were all overjoyed, and the proclamations were posted in the counties and townships, and the people listened to the scholars' explanations, and they were all proud.

Sun Quan put on a gorgeous brocade robe made of Shu brocade, and Shu brocade immediately swept Jiangdong, and the white porcelain brought back by Lu Su, a diplomatic hero, became the cherished of Jiangdong's "collectors".

The first batch of white porcelain of the Qu family and the first batch of brocade of the Yin family arrived in Jiangdong and were immediately robbed.

Jiangdong celebrates all over the world, and only Zhou Yu, who is recuperating in Chaisang, is so angry that he vomits blood, and his illness is even more serious.

Just when Koto was celebrating. Jingyi Erzhou completed the autumn harvest and successfully held the four imperial examinations.

The turmoil in Yizhou was basically centralized, the Chengdu rebellion attacked the city, Jiangzhou and Hanzhong were similar, and the rice fields were basically not destroyed.

And Jingzhou is different, Xiangyang is heavily guarded, the rebels can only riot, rob and kill people everywhere, Jingnan was originally withered, and it is even more unbearable after the chaos, so that there is no harvest in Jingnan and Jingbei.

Not to mention Jiangling in the middle of Jingzhou, a white land.

However, fortunately, after the rebellion was quelled, Huang Yueying, before leaving office, urgently planted the second crop of rice in Jingzhou, where the water source was rich and the rice was damaged, and it was expected to be harvested in October.

The cultivation of double-cropping rice has a long history, first seen in ancient books in 300 BC, but it is also said that the Song dynasty, which originated from the Three Kingdoms of Eastern Wu and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was not common in the Han Dynasty, but Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying thought of this method when they discussed increasing grain production.

Originally, I wanted to study the planting time and method carefully, but this rebellion made Jingzhou lose the first crop of rice in advance, which provided convenience for planting the second crop of rice, and there was no harvest anyway, so Huang Yueying simply planted the second crop of rice in Jiangling and other places, and personally guided the farmers to plant.

I don't know if the Gangneung Plain became fertile after being blistered, but the second season of rice planting is still very good, and it seems that there can be a considerable harvest.

The grain in Wuxi area has also been harvested, especially Wuxi, after Liu Zhang's personal guidance, there are two more measures than other tribes, one is that the planting spacing is more scientific, and the second is the protection of seedlings, so that Wuxi has more harvests than other places.

Including the barbarians who moved out of Wuxi and in the Fuling area, they all had a good harvest, and these harvests were all their own, looking at so much grain, it was much more than the villages that robbed the Han people before.

Moreover, the farm is only two or three months for planting seedlings and harvesting, and the rest of the time is not too many people to take care of it, not to delay their hunting, the harvest has greatly increased, and those barbarians who have not been able to do so at the beginning are envious of the harvest of others, and they are determined to open a paddy field to plant next year.

Due to the popularity of paper and books, coupled with the temptation of being able to become an official if you are literate, many people and scholars who were originally literate have done countless sets of official document processing test papers after a year of hard study, and are familiar with their grandson Han Fei.

Thinking that they had excelled and had taken the exams, Jing Yi and the two states selected a large number of jerky literati who were barely able to perform most of their official duties, but were not skilled and superficial in their thinking.

If it had been a few months ago, these people would have been appointed to official positions, but now the vacancies of officials have been occupied by most of the people who took up the spring examination. Only a small number of those who take the autumn examination are admitted as officials.

The rest of the people who passed the examination were assessed as Xiucai by passing the township examination, those who passed the county examination were assessed as lifters, and those who passed the state examination were Jinshi, and the top three were selected as champions and lists. Tanhua, along with other state test candidates, was basically issued as an official.

Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi who are not officials all enjoy different levels of government and are respected by the people because they do not have to salute when they see the officials in the region.

As more people take the exam, Huang Quan and Li Yan are thinking about separating the township test, the county test, and the state test, and opening up the time period. The system of the four imperial examinations is becoming more and more mature.

Among the four imperial examinations in Jingzhou, something unexpected happened to Liu Zhang.

…………

In the courtyard of the pastoral house, he wielded a sledgehammer and fought fiercely with Hu Che'er, both of them were strength-based, and they had a lot more strength than Hu Che'er. Hu Che'er has a lot more moves than Hao, and he has always been on the same level before.

But recently, Liu Zhang found that Hu Che'er is becoming less and less of a good opponent, this time. The two had just arrived in the middle of the field, and the fight had not lasted more than a minute, so they smashed a hammer on Hu Che'er's single hammer. Hu Che'er's long hammer was knocked away all of a sudden, and he handed out another sledgehammer against Hu Che'er's chest, pushing Hu Che'er far away.

If it weren't so powerful and just pushed with a sledgehammer, if it was smashed with a hammer, Hu Che'er would become a puddle of mud.

Liu Zhang was instructing Liu Xun to write an article, and he was also surprised at this time, so he walked over calmly, and the oxygen beauty Bao'er hurriedly picked up the teacup and walked over.

"Good brother, you are too powerful, you are the most powerful person I have ever met." Bao'er shouted happily regardless of the frustrated Hu Che'er on the side.

"I appreciate you for being the kind of person who hasn't seen the world."

I drank the tea in one gulp, and said to Hu Che'er: "Are you still coming?" ”

Hu Che'er was still hurting in his mouth and chest, so he hurriedly waved his hand, and he was about to go to the courtyard to continue practicing with a sledgehammer.

"Wait." Liu Zhang stopped so powerful, in the past few months, he has been practicing martial arts day and night, as long as he has free time, he will dance with two sledgehammers, and sometimes accidentally hit something, which can wake Liu Zhang up in the middle of the night.

Liu Zhang said: "Why are you so desperate? You've been making rapid progress in martial arts lately, what kind of medicine have you taken? ”

In fact, Liu Zhang was also a little jealous in his heart, every morning he practiced martial arts with Xiao Furong with Hao Hao, even if he was lazy before, it was better to practice swords than to be so powerful, but now he is so powerful that he has counterattacked himself, which is really unpleasant.

He took out the sweat-soaked hammer in his arms, which was given to him by Huang Yueying, and said to Liu Zhang: "I have memorized the above moves, and now I need to be familiar with the moves, but it's a pity that I ......" I glanced at Hu Che'er: "No one can accompany me to make moves." ”

It's so powerful, in fact, I haven't said anything, since Liu Zhang was assassinated last time, I feel very useless when I think of it, I have been Liu Zhang's personal guard from the beginning, how many times has Liu Zhang been assassinated by assassins? Every time, it was because he was not proficient in his moves, which made Liu Zhang dangerous.

Fa Zheng has warned himself, Xiao Furong has warned himself, and Huang Yueying has warned himself.

But I didn't wake up, until the last time I thought Liu Zhang was dead, I woke up suddenly, and now Liu Zhang finally came back from the dead, so I swore that I would never let that happen again, so I began to practice the hammer method hard.

In the past few months, the progress has been rapid, and Hu Che'er has been completely blown up.

Liu Zhang frowned and thought for a while, and said to him: "Then let's do it, let Huang Zhong accompany you to fight in the future." ”

"Huh?" I was stunned, Huang Zhong was the first fierce general of the Sichuan Army, and he was undefeated in the four generals at the beginning, but the four generals, he couldn't beat any of them before, and now he has to fight Huang Zhong, so powerful I only feel a chill in my back.

"If you win, I will personally ask the Nanzhong tribe for someone to marry the girl you like."

"Really?" It's so amazing: "Lord, this is what you said, you can't always regret it like before." ”

Liu Zhang sweated for a moment, and when he remembered it, he was really a little sorry for him, and he didn't know how many times he broke his promise, so he said firmly: "Okay, this time it must count." ”

Bao'er on the side was sullen.

"But if you can't beat it, you'll have to marry Miss Bao'er."

Bao'er was immediately overjoyed, she had heard that Huang Zhong easily defeated her father, so she didn't believe that she could defeat Huang Zhong.

"Hmph." He snorted at Bao'er and went to practice martial arts again.

At this moment, Huang Quan walked in: "Lord, this is the list of Jingzhou's four imperial examinations, as well as the positions arranged, please take a look." ”

Liu Zhang took it and was stunned as soon as he glanced at it.

"Who is this champion? Cai Wei? Liu Zhang looked at a name in the first row in surprise: "Is it Cai Wei of the Cai family?" ”

Huang Quan nodded: "This Cai Wei is already literate and hyphenated. Familiar with history books and hundreds of schools, very experienced in politics, and careful and dexterous, in the administrative ability test and arguments, are full scores, a lot higher than the second place, but also in our four scientific examinations. The only one with a double perfect score. ”

"Oh." Liu Zhang nodded, and saw that the position arrangement behind him was blank, and frowned: "Why didn't Fan Lixiang arrange an official position?" ”

"Probably because Cai Wei is a woman, it's inconvenient." Huang Quan guessed.

"Nonsense, Fan Lixiang can't wait for a woman to be an official."

Liu Zhang thought about it and probably guessed what Fan Lixiang meant, this is to make himself an official for Cai Wei.

First, Cai Wei has a special identity and needs to ask himself.

Second, Cai Wei has a special relationship with himself, and it is impossible not to appoint an official position by himself. It is also convenient for himself to be gracious to Cai Wei.

Third, although the four imperial examinations do not restrict men and women, there are still very few women who come for reference, especially the literary examination, which is not at all. Fan Lixiang just wants to make herself Cai Wei's official, so that she can say everywhere, look, our female champion is the official of the emperor's uncle himself.

The effect of inciting women to become prominent is bound to increase greatly.

Liu Zhang frowned and thought for a moment. When Cai Wei rebelled in the Cai family, he did not follow the rebellion, and now he is participating in the four imperial examinations. It's not easy.

Liu Zhang's impression of Cai Wei has always been mainly dark, but at this time, no matter what Cai Wei thinks, he should treat her well.

said to Huang Quan: "The dignified champion, you can't help but appoint official positions, and you can also encourage women to go out, so let's go down and do one thing, change the Wuxi Metropolitan Protectorate to the Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, and be responsible for the migration, cultivation and management of the Nanzhong Barbarians and Wuxi Barbarians, with Cai Wei as the Metropolitan Protector, but note that the direct authority of the Wuxi Border Army is stripped out, and Li Hui, the Taishou of Bajun, is in charge." ”

"Yes."

Unconsciously, Jing Yi has a lot of women in the officialdom, the first Fan Lixiang, when she appeared, was to support 20,000 soldiers and bring great merit to vote, which was reasonable, and then experienced Pang Tong's criticism and the convergence of the people's hearts.

Whether it is civil and military, or the people, they all have a positive attitude towards Fan Lixiang as an official, and it can be said that Fan Lixiang has made a good start for a woman to be an official in Jingyi.

Later, Huang Yueying, with the dissatisfaction of many people, cut Lejin, defeated Cao Xian, and then flooded Jiangling, and shocked the world, although he left office, he was still the military advisor in the minds of the Sichuan army soldiers, and now he is still giving advice to Fan Lixiang behind the scenes, and his status is unbreakable.

With these two people in front, it is logical for the female officials in the back, and it seems that unconsciously, the thinking of the people of Jingyi has changed from "women can't be officials" to "women can be officials", and even they didn't notice the change.

And women being officials are also in line with Jing Yi's internal situation, Jing Yi killed the world, killed 90% of the talents, and a large number of talents are needed, and women, in all eras, there is no shortage of outstanding people, but the times are different, and they are difficult to stand out in the world where men are superior to women in general.

Since such a fact has been formed, Liu Zhang will not be rigid in appointing female officials, but Cai Wei has a complicated mind and is really not sure about it, so he does not appoint military power.

I believe that after Cai Wei is made an official, those talented women who are unwilling to be lonely will also be restless, even if they are still affected by secular and education, only a few dare to come to the exam, but they can fill the shortage of talents.

Liu Zhang continued to look down, and the scores of the people below were all pitiful, except for the top few who passed, the rest were below sixty points, and they were cut off at forty points.

The cultural quality is still not high enough, Liu Zhang shook his head.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came in and said: "Report to the lord, Xiliang Han Sui pretended to negotiate in the name of negotiation, and asked Wu Ban Taishou to negotiate, during which a large number of Qiang soldiers suddenly came out, seriously injured Wu Ban Taishou, and now the dragons in Hanzhong have no leader, and the 30,000 cavalry of Xiliang are under the command of Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, and 50,000 cavalry of the 13 Xiqiang Divisions are coming to Yangping Pass. ”

Huang Quan's brows furrowed suddenly, and Liu Zhang's expression was condensed.

The Xiliang Army and the Qiang soldiers really took advantage of the crisp autumn air, and they really didn't give up.

"Lord, Wu Ban Taishou is seriously injured, Hanzhong must be in chaos, the Xiliang army is pressing, and we need to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible."

"There is no countermeasure, and now the situation is only Ben Hou himself."

Liu Zhang originally didn't want to fight with the Xiliang army, so he asked Wu Ban to guard Hanzhong with the danger pass, even if Hanzhong was not very peaceful, it could generally ensure Jing Yi's recuperation.

But now that Wu Ban is dead, Hanzhong has just experienced a rebellion, and the army is pressing, the situation is very critical, if the brave Xiliang army knocks on the pass, the consequences are unimaginable.

Moreover, if Wu Ban is seriously injured and he doesn't even let out a fart, such weakness, don't want to bring recuperation to Jing Yi, when the time comes, the barbarians, the Qiang people, and Cao Cao will not all come to take advantage from time to time?

It's just that Liu Zhang always felt that something was wrong, first Lingqiang slandered Wu Ban for killing the leader of Tsing Yi Qiang through negotiations, and then Wu Ban was ambushed by Han Sui through negotiations, as if he was forcing himself to recruit himself.

Han Sui is also a hero, from a white coat to an army of 100,000, surviving under the annexation of dozens of princes in Liangzhou, such a person would do such a stupid thing?

"Quickly pass the order, Shangyong is too guarded by Yang Ren, temporarily replaced by Hanzhong, be sure to guard the pass, Benhou will arrive in Hanzhong in a few days, in addition, immediately convene all civil and military discussions." (To be continued.) )
