"Ugh." Qiao Wushuang sighed, a woman, what can she do, she can only sigh at the injustice, Xiao Xiaodezhi, comforted Sun Shangxiang and said: "Xiang'er, when the King of Shu arranges a place to live, let's move out, and then I will accompany you out to relax."

Don't worry, the Sichuan army and Jiangdong are mortal enemies, and now the king of Shu will not attack for strategic reasons, but as long as the Sichuan army is not destroyed, one day the Jiangdong clan will be destroyed. ”

"Yes." Sun Shangxiang nodded, it could only be like this.

It was about to arrive in Qingming, and Liu Zhang suddenly thought that the pumpkin seemed to be planted in this season, and he could also start to raise seedlings for the spring red root, if he missed it, he would have to wait for several months.

The people take food as the sky, and the army takes food as the first, this is a big thing, Liu Zhang decided to personally guide, although he is not very clear about these, but the seedlings of red lotus are at least better than these farmers now, pumpkin red lotus is very important, Liu Zhang does not want to make a mistake.

In order to be insured, Liu Zhang left one-third of the pumpkin seeds and red lettuce, which were properly kept in the ice room, and took out two-thirds and handed them over to the experienced farmers in Guanzhong.

Pumpkins and red vetches don't need fertile land, they can grow even on slopes, but Liu Zhang specially cultivates the most fertile land for these pumpkins and red vetches.

In addition to knowing that seedling cultivation is divided into several steps, planting in Shaanxi, because of the cold weather, to cover the clinker shed, Liu Zhang also does not know the specific operation method.

Liu Zhang thought about it and decided to separate the seeds in all the places where there were differences, and plant them according to a method, anyway, as long as the seeds came out of this batch.

When the farmers in Guanzhong got the pumpkin seeds and red roots, they all felt very new and wanted to try to grow one. But I was afraid that there would be no harvest. Hungry. When they heard that no matter what the outcome was, the Sichuan army would have subsidies, these farmers were completely relieved and asked for planting.

During the period when the farmers in Guanzhong tried to plant pumpkins and sweet potatoes, the results of the Central Plains were revealed, Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and Zhang Ren won a complete victory, annihilating more than 200,000 Cao troops, and Zhang Liao fled back to the east of Yingshui with injuries. Cao Jun discarded countless armor, weapons, flags, and flags.

If it weren't for the two characteristics of the army of the children of the Shi clan, who were unwilling to surrender and engage in battle, those soldiers saw that they were being flanked and fled with their lives, and the losses of Cao's army would have been even greater.

However, after this battle, the Cao army was afraid of the Sichuan army, and the new troops of the Cao army were frightened, and if they fought next time, their morale and confidence would be seriously lacking.

There was also a war report from Jiaozhou. There were no moths, and what the merchants in Shuzhong were most worried about was that Dian Prefecture would be breached. The Southwest Silk Road was cut off, so the Sichuan army was fully supported.

The barbarian army led by Cai Wei and Zhu Rong, with the full support of the merchants of Shuzhong, successfully defeated Shixie and led the army to attack Jiaozhou, which had already occupied three counties.

Fa Zheng transferred troops to Chaisang, and the Sichuan army also stabilized the situation after the strategic contraction of the Yangtze River and Chaisang, and now the southeast is mainly based on stability, and Jia Xulusu and Lu Xun are not given a chance, forming a confrontation situation.

In the north, Zhenlanying mobilized 100,000 troops to gather in Hetao, under the guise of cooperating with Cao Cao's attack on the Sichuan army, when the Xianbei army took advantage of the emptiness of the western grassland to invade, Zhelanying suddenly turned around and shot, and the 100,000 army went straight to the Xianbei army.

The Xianbei army passed the secret envoy of the Cao army, but he already knew that Zhe Lanying was Cao Cao's daughter, and Rao was a grassland hero with Kebi Neng, who was extremely cunning, and he couldn't guess that Zhe Lanying would leave his father alone, and let Cao Jun dominate the world.

The Xianbei army was caught off guard, and was defeated by the Di army.

Xianbei, who was originally stronger than the Di people, suddenly became evenly matched, and because the Xianbei army had a total of four roads and did not belong to each other, the situation was still weaker than that of the Di people.

Ke Bineng never imagined that a small Zhelanying would suddenly invade the Hetao, drive away the mud, and dominate the western grassland.

Then the Sichuan army was defeated, and its strength swelled.

Now it has defeated Xianbei in the east, and in just two years, it has become the first force in the grassland.

Cao Cao's six-way army besieged the Sichuan army, except for the Jiangdong side to achieve results, the rest of the roads were completely defeated, and even the war in the northern grasslands was temporarily ended, and the world returned to calm again.

After the people learned that Liu Zhang had come back from the dead, the morale of the people and the army was high, the people worked diligently, and the army stepped up training.

For internal affairs, Liu Zhang has always been accustomed to being the shopkeeper, and all the affairs of Chang'an were handed over to Huang Yueying and Jiang Wan, and Liu Xun followed the two to study.

Liu Zhang only took people to see the pumpkins and sweet potatoes, looking forward to sprouting every day.

"Your Highness, if this greenhouse is covered, will it suffocate the crops inside?" An old farmer looked at the greenhouse built in the field and said to Liu Zhang sadly.

This month, Liu Zhang came to the fields every day to check on the fields, and the farmers became familiar with Liu Zhang, and there was no previous detention.

"The seed is still buried in the ground, why didn't it suffocate." Liu Zhang replied casually, and several other old farmers laughed when they heard Liu Zhang's words, and the old farmer who asked the question had an old face flushed.

"After the seedlings are raised, the greenhouse will be removed, but when will it sprout."

Liu Zhang didn't know when the sweet potatoes and pumpkins would germinate, and he was always a little anxious, and other farmers had never grown them, and they didn't know.

What's more, this sweet potato may not be the sweet potato of later generations, it should be something similar to sweet potato in "Southern Grass and Trees", the huge benefits brought by this high-yield crop, Liu Zhang can't help but be nervous.

"Lord, it seems to be raining, let's go back." A drop of rain hit Wang Xu's face, and Wang Xu said to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang nodded, "Go back, I hope you don't wait until the rainy season to sprout." ”

If the rainy season has not yet germinated, it fully shows that you have chosen the wrong season to plant, and it also shows that the sweet potato you got from Loulan Dungeon is really not the sweet potato of later generations.

In the worst case, during the rainy season, tubers and pumpkin seeds buried in the ground are likely to be drowned.

Liu Zhang thought in his heart and left with people, and at this moment, a peasant ran over and said with great joy: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what I planted has sprouted, Your Highness, go and see, go and see." ”

The farmer was crazy happy, these farmers all knew that Liu Zhang regarded these crops as treasures, and they were planting them first in private, and now that the flowers have fallen to their own homes, how can the farmers not be happy, they didn't step on it steadily, and fell into the seedling field next to them.

The peasants crawled out of the paddy fields, covered in mud, but laughing without incident.

Liu Zhang hurriedly walked over and said happily: "Is it really sprouting?" Pumpkin or red lettuce? ”

"It's all sprouted, it's all sprouted." The peasant smiled from ear to ear.

"Let's go, let's see."

Wang Xu hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord, it's going to rain heavily, let's go back first." ”

"No, let's go and see it first, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Liu Zhang asked the farmer to lead the way, and all the way to the field that the farmer was responsible for, in the transparent greenhouse, there were indeed many young shoots sparsely appeared, and the sweet potato field and the red lotus field came out, and the tender green was full of vitality.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but stride into the field, gathered together and looked carefully, no matter what, it finally sprouted, and it was two crops that germinated together, and most of his worries could finally be removed.

In the distance, a woman passed by, it was Qiao Wushuang who took Sun Shangxiang and a few maidservants out to go out, and a maid said: "Miss, madam, this rain is going to fall heavily, let's go back quickly." ”

"Wait, sister-in-law, look, is that Liu Zhang?"

Sun Shangxiang suddenly pointed to the direction of the farmland and said, Qiao Wushuang looked over, the back was really Liu Zhang, if Liu Zhang was alone in the farmland, she would think it was just similar, but Liu Zhang's personal soldiers were all next to him, Qiao Wushuang only felt a little incredible, a king of Shu, or from the royal family, what to do in the farmland?

"That's His Royal Highness the King of Shu." A maidservant girl said: "Miss, madam, you may not know, I heard other neighbors on the street say that for most of the month, the king of Shu has been in the farmland, and sometimes he eats with the peasants, it is said that he goes to see if the crops can be fed." ”

The other three maidservants nodded, although they didn't see it, they all heard about it, but Qiao Wushuang and Sun Shangxiang didn't talk to their neighbors, so naturally they hadn't heard it.

"The dignified King of Shu, do you come to see the crops ripe every day?" Sun Shangxiang was stunned, this was completely beyond her comprehension.

Sun Shangxiang himself is a person close to the people, otherwise he would not be commensurate with his maidservant sisters, but who is Liu Zhang, not only the lord of the Sichuan army, but also from the royal family.

In this era when the children of the down-and-out clan are unwilling to be with the untouchables, the dignified King of Shu, a descendant of the royal family, mixes with the peasants every day, and also asks about agricultural affairs, which is simply a precedent.

"Sister-in-law, what is Liu Zhang doing here? Win the hearts and minds of the people? You don't have to do that, do you? Sun Shangxiang asked Qiao Wushuang.

Qiao Wushuang looked at Liu Zhang from a distance and shook his head: "No, other princes may occasionally pretend to be close to the people, but Liu Zhang won't, Xiang'er, you hated Liu Zhang before, you may not know that Liu Zhang has done a lot of practical things for the peasants."

For so many years, the Sichuan army did not raise taxes again, and also allocated more land to many peasants, and the farmers who worked diligently, as well as grain subsidies, which were not seen in history.

Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying improved many crop planting methods, such as interval planting and multi-crop planting, which even we in Jiangdong have quoted.

Jingzhou and Yizhou were also the first to sow double-cropping rice, and Liu Zhang also introduced many arid crops such as Champong rice from the south of Jiaozhou.

These measures are all beneficial to farmers, so what Liu Zhang is doing now is definitely not to win the hearts of the people, but to really cultivate some new crops, and he doesn't need to win the hearts of the people, isn't the support of the people in Guanzhong for Liu Zhang enough? ”

Sun Shangxiang was silent, looked at Liu Zhang fixedly, and Qiao Wushuang said again: "I heard that Huang Yueying, the military division of the Sichuan Army, although she was born in a wealthy family and is a woman, she likes to do some mechanical handicrafts that others look down on, and often communicates with craftsmen, and often goes to the field to discuss experience with farmers.
