Chapter 182: Something Goes Wrong with Corn

The north wind howled, the sky was gloomy, and night was falling quickly.

Luo Zheng opened his eyes in a daze, and when he came to his senses, he turned over and sat up violently, and shouted, "Someone." ”

A soldier came in response to the call, stood under the tent and said, "What does the lord command?" ”

Luo Zheng lifted the quilt and collapsed, and asked, "How long has General Ben been asleep?" ”

The soldier replied, "My lord, it's been eight hours." ”

"Eight hours?"

Luo Zheng frowned and said, "It's been so long, ask Wen Ruo to come to see me." ”

"Yes."

The soldiers said yes and immediately ran out.

Luo Zheng stretched his waist, and then put on his shoes and collapsed.

After moving all the food and various materials in the vegetable garden yesterday, he didn't sleep for three days and two nights, and Luo Zheng didn't have time to return to the general's mansion, so he fell into the barracks of the barracks and fell asleep at that time.

I didn't want to sleep for eight hours, and since I came to the end of the Han Dynasty, I had never slept for such a long time.

After a while, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Xun Yu pushed the door in, and arched his hand: "I've seen the lord." ”

Luo Zheng yawned, waved his hand and said, "Wen Ruo is exempt, come, sit down and say!" ”

A pro-soldier had already put a soft couch in and placed it under Luo Zheng.

Xun Yu lifted his robe! Duan Hui Chuang, satin, sluggish. 5. Collapse dad Tatar Fu Yu Yu (6) Drought gnaw new terrible lips partridge lead two guards Xia dare to guess the fear lip partridge pull Γ bag br/>

Luo Zheng said calmly: "Zhong Xuan, Shi Tao and others don't know how to lift up, and they refuse to come to Liangzhou, and this general has no other way." These stubborn people can only be forcibly captured in Jincheng, and then try to make them return. For the use of this general. ”

Xun Yu said disapprenously: "This kind of bandit behavior will only make people feel disgusted, how can it make people feel guilty." ”

Luo Zheng said with a smile: "Although Wen Ruo has the talent of auxiliary politics. but they do not know people's hearts. It is necessary to know that the world is bustling, all for profit, and it is human nature to chase fame and fortune. Don't look at these scholars who talk about righteousness all day long, but in the final analysis, since these scholars came out to be officials, they are not for fame and fortune. As long as it's not the kind of stubborn brain, General Ben has a way to make these people obediently and willingly give General Ben his life, Wen Ruo doesn't have to take it to heart! ”

Xun Yu said helplessly: "But." How could the lord capture Guo Jia's mother to Jincheng? ”

Luo Zheng said: "This is also a helpless thing, when General Ben arrived in Yingchuan, Guo Jia had already gone to Hebei to vote for Yuan Shao, leaving only an old mother at home." The general simply brought his mother to Jincheng and summoned her by letter. ”

Xun Yu stroked his forehead and said: "The lord is wrong, just a few skills, how can he coerce Guo Fengxiao!" ”

Luo Zheng's eyes froze, and he said, "What's the difference between Wen Ruo's words?" ”

Xun Yu said: "If Guo Jia doesn't come to Jincheng, what should the lord do?" ”

"This ......"

Luo Zheng was dumbfounded for a while. Rather speechless.

Xun Yu sighed again and again: "Guo Jia is very good at perceiving people's hearts, how can he be coerced lightly, he must be able to expect that even if he does not come to Liangzhou, the lord will never hate his old mother." And so it goes. It's just going to be bad. ”

"This ......"

Luo Zheng patted his forehead and said embarrassedly: "It's true that General Ben has not considered it, can Wen Ruo have a clever way to remedy it?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "There is no other way." We'll have to talk about that later. ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and asked about the resettlement of displaced people and the inventory of supplies.

Xun Yu cheered up. Said: "The lord went to the Central Plains this time, and the harvest was really amazing. Not only did they bring back more than 40,000 young men, but they also brought back money, food, and various materials to alleviate the embarrassing situation of our army not making ends meet. Among them, more than 500,000 stone grains were enough to feed the 40,000 army for two years, in addition to repaying the Qianghu tribe. Even if we get rid of the needs for relief to the people, resettlement of the displaced people, and all kinds of food stockpiles, it will be enough for the 40,000 army to eat for a year, and our army will no longer be in danger of food and grass for the time being! ”

Luo Zheng asked, "How are the more than 40,000 displaced people resettled?" ”

Xun Yu said: "The lord has already ordered that people have built enough houses, and there is enough grain and grass, so it is not troublesome to resettle the displaced people." It's just that these homeless people have nothing to do, and if they are idle for a long time, they will inevitably breed trouble, so I asked the generals Zhao Yun and Li Meng to organize these homeless people into the Tuntian camp, and temporarily use military law to control them, so that these homeless people can build bridges and pave roads, or organize homeless people to dredge the river, and exchange labor for the necessary rations. After these displaced people have stabilized their minds, they will make the next arrangement. ”

Luo Zheng nodded again and again: "If Wen Ruo arranged it properly, then General Ben will be relieved." ”

Xun Yu said again: "As for the more than 300,000 catties of refined iron brought back by the lord, in addition to meeting the weapons and armor needed to equip tens of thousands of troops, a part of it can also be allocated to cast some agricultural tools to improve the labor productivity of the people under the lord's rule." ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said, "This will be arranged by Wen Ruo." ”

Xun Yu replied, and said: "There are also a huge amount of silver grain, cloth, salt and other materials, if used properly, it is enough for all the people under the rule of the lord to have enough food and clothing within a year, and the family has surplus wealth, so that we can complete our army's plan to rest and recuperate for several years in advance." At most, after autumn, when the warehouse is full, the lord will be able to use troops externally. ”

Luo Zhengjie said: "Okay, these things will be bothered by Wen Ruoduo." ”

Xun Yu happily agreed, and then his face turned solemn, and he solemnly arched his hand: "In addition, there is another very important matter at the moment, Yu doesn't know how to solve it, and it still needs to be decided by the lord himself." ”

Luo Zheng also straightened his face and said, "Wen Ruo, please speak!" ”

Xun Yu said: "After the lord left Jincheng, Yu once ordered someone to try to plant golden rice, but found that the golden jade harvested in autumn could not sprout at all. Yu has tried many methods, but to no avail. ”

Luo Zheng was stunned, his face turned solemn, and said, "Wen Ruo will tell me in detail." ”

Xun Yu said: "Nongsang is a major event of the country, and the livelihood of all people is not careless." For example, if the people plant seeds in spring, they must carefully select the grain seeds to ensure the germination rate. And some crops can only be planted once, and cannot be planted. The seeds of golden rice planted before were provided by the lord, and whether the golden rice harvested in autumn could be used for seeding was not sure below, so I had to order someone to try to plant them. Who wants to try several methods, but they can't sprout at all. If the golden rice cannot be planted, the plan of the lord Dongbu will inevitably be affected. ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the weather is too cold?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "I ordered people to plant indoors, and even the soil used was taken back from the most fertile and high-quality fields, and even the fire was heated by fire, and even the fire kiln was dug underground, which could not make the golden rice sprout." ”

Luo Zheng's brows furrowed for a moment, this was a bit troublesome.

If corn cannot be planted on a large scale, how can the tens of thousands of troops under his command be supported by only the 100,000 people in Jincheng and Wuwei counties. After all, the yield of wheat and millet is too low, and a family of five can have a maximum of 20 acres of land, and more than 100,000 people can plant as much land, even if they barely let the army starve to death, there is no money and food to use troops on a large scale.

Internal affairs are the foundation of the military, and the so-called involvement of one trigger affects the whole body.

If rice jade cannot be cultivated on a large scale, the chain reaction will definitely cause a series of strict consequences.

Although Luo Zheng snatched a lot of money, grain and materials from the Central Plains, it was only a temporary plan, not a long-term plan.

Xun Yu asked: "Jin Mi is discovered by the lord, I don't know if the lord can know its planting habits?" ”

Luo Zheng frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly thought that all the corn planted this year was produced in the vegetable garden. If there is a problem, it must be related to the vegetable garden, otherwise how could the corn seeds not germinate.

Needless to say, the magic of the vegetable garden is not surprising, even if it is a little different from the outside.

Luo Zheng frowned and thought hard, what went wrong.

The most likely thing to go wrong is naturally the growing environment.

But the vegetable garden is so big, there must not be much to grow.

Another problem can be the fertile soil in the vegetable garden.

Luo Zheng turned a few thoughts, got up and said, "If Wen waits for a while, General Ben will come when he goes." ”

After that, he turned into the back hall, opened the door of the void and entered the vegetable garden.

It didn't take much effort, so he took out a large pot of black soil from the vegetable garden.

"Try planting with this soil!"

Luo Zheng said: "If it doesn't work, General Ben will try another way." ”

Xun Yu looked at the black and blue face, nodded, and without asking much, he called the sergeant to move in.

Luo Zheng called Zhao Yun, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals and asked them in detail about the process of defeating the Qiang soldiers.

Zhao Yun and the others talked about how to plan, set up ambushes, arrange troops, and how to kill the big and handsome Dian Ling, and finally break through the Qiang soldiers, and they all looked excited.

Luo Zheng's eyes were delighted when he heard this, and he patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder heavily, and praised: "Zilong is brave and strategic, and he can take on heavy responsibilities in times of danger, and General Ben is really gratified." There are also Li Meng, Wang Fang, etc., who are not bad, and they did not disgrace General Ben. ”

Li Meng and Wang Fanger could not hide their excitement, and hurriedly surrendered their hands.

Xun Yu suddenly remembered something and said, "Lord, there is another happy event, I almost forgot to say it." ”

Luo Zheng said 'oh' and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Xun Yu said: "The eldest lady is already happy. ”

"Gan Qian has it?"

Luo Zheng was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The mood is so complicated that it's like knocking over a five-flavor bottle.

In his previous life, he didn't even get married, his family didn't come to fruition, and he didn't think about the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, not only survived tenaciously, but also became a prince, and now he is about to become a father, I really don't know how to describe that feeling.

There is excitement, there is emotion, and more is relief.

A ruler who has no heirs is really the way to take trouble!

Gan Qian has been with her for more than a year, but her belly has never moved.

Ren Yan and Zhenbao have not had a short time with themselves, and it is said that they should have been there a long time ago.

But until he left Yunwu and went to the Central Plains, there was no movement.

Although Luo Zheng never mentioned this, he had hidden worries in his heart, and he knew that several women were also secretly anxious, but it was useless to be anxious about this kind of thing, so he could only spend more effort and waste some hard work.

I didn't want to just return to Jincheng and hear the good news of Gan Qian. (To be continued......) R1292
