Chapter 536: Emperor Ji and Xiangrui
"Since March this year, no county has reported locust plagues or floods, which is really strange."
In Langya Country, Jia Sixian, a representative figure of the farmer, served as the captain of Langya and the agricultural school, and found that among the twists and turns played by the counties and counties to Langya Country in Xuzhou, there were no disasters related to locust plagues, floods, and droughts.
Because of the vast territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, all kinds of natural disasters should emerge in an endless stream.
There may be one or two, or even four or five natural and man-made disasters in each state and county in a year.
However, this year has been very unusual, with all states and counties thriving, and there have been no major natural disasters.
Yecheng, Xu You, who served as the commander of Yecheng, found that after last year's floods, Yecheng did not have a large-scale plague. And the public anger caused by the irrigation of the city by Zhangshui is gradually disappearing.
"Clinics everywhere claim that their income has been halved this year."
"The lieutenants of the agricultural schools in various counties and Tian Cao think that there may be a bumper harvest this year."
"Hu Cao reported that the birth rate has increased by two or three percent compared with the past."
"A large number of people who fled to the mountains and forests in Youzhou and Bingzhou have returned to their former homes, adding millions of people."
β¦β¦
Chu Tian sat in the pavilion and listened to Sang Hongyang report the news collected by officials from all over the country.
Most of the places are good news, and the economy, agriculture, and population are all thriving.
"Ask the Supervision Department to go and inspect various places to see if the situation is true."
The officials from all over the country reported good news, but in Chutian's opinion, it was not very true, and he thought that these local officials reported good news but not bad news.
Deception can happen at any time, so Chutian has to guard against it.
"Whoa."
Sang Hongyang should continue to follow Chutian's instructions and send special monitoring teams to various counties and counties to randomly check the situation in various places and prevent fraud.
Emperor Roufu came up with a plate of hot tea, in order to please Chu Tian as much as possible, she was also learning to do things, from a princess to a qualified maid, it took a lot of effort.
Emperor Roufu timidly asked, "Lord, do you want to rub your shoulders?" β
Chu Tian nodded, and Emperor Roufu cautiously came behind him.
Her craft is obviously a little rusty, but she can be regarded as trying to do it herself, and she has enough food and clothing.
"Ding! The sky is auspicious, the wind and rain are smooth, the grass is born with double spikes, the earth is sweet spring, and strange birds and beasts appear. β
"Ding! When your Territory Blessing reaches a certain level, it triggers the effect - Harvest of Grains. From March to October this year, the probability of natural disasters in each county was -80 percent, and food production increased by 10 to 80 percent. β
"Ding! When your Territory Blessing reaches a certain level, it triggers the effect - Prosperity of People. From March to October this year, the probability of civilians getting sick was -50 percent, the natural birth rate increased by 25 percent, the morale of the people in each county increased by 1 to 30 points, and the law and order in each county increased by 1 to 20 points. β
"Ding! When your Territory Blessing reaches a certain level, it triggers the effect - Six Animals Flourish. From March to October this year, the probability of livestock getting sick was -50%, and the slaughter weight increased by 10%. β
"Ding! When your Territory Blessing reaches a certain level, it triggers the effect - Popular Desire. From March to October of this year, the counties were +50% attractive to homeless people and had a -50% chance of committing a crime. β
"Ding! When your Territory Blessing reaches a certain level, it triggers the effect - Martial Wind. From March to October this year, the efficiency of training soldiers is +25%, and the recruitment time is -25%. β
"Ding! When your Territory Blessing reaches a certain level, the effect of Abundance is triggered. From March to October this year, the probability of discovering special resources (such as gold mountains, silver mountains, copper mountains, iron ores, hot springs, pastures) has increased. β
β¦β¦
A series of hints caught Chu Tian off guard, never thinking that after the blessing value reached a certain level, there would be a probability that within a few months, the output of the territory would be greatly increased!
From March to October, both grain production, animal husbandry production, and population size have increased, and there is a probability that special resources will be discovered.
It is no wonder that after entering March, the counties and counties basically reported good news but not bad news.
The larger the territory, the higher the probability of natural disasters, if you don't receive reports of natural disasters and man-made disasters every month, Chu Tian also thinks that the officials below lie about the disaster, but now it seems that it is estimated that the hidden attribute blessing value has an effect.
During the preparation for a full-scale war with the Mongol Empire, the territory was running at a high speed for several months, and there was a bumper harvest, so there was food for the soldiers to conquer Mobei.
In addition, during the auspicious period, the efficiency of training soldiers and horses can also be increased by 25%, and the legion with an average level of 40 may be able to reach level 50 when attacking Mobei.
Such an all-round achievement is an exaggeration.
Emperor Roufu is trying to help Chu Tian rub his shoulders, and if he wants to change from a maid to a concubine, he must work hard.
Suddenly, Chu Tian grabbed her Qianqian's fine hand and made her subconsciously want to struggle, but in front of Chu Tian, whose force had reached 85, it was useless to struggle......
When Chu Tian looked at Emperor Roufu again, his eyes were already different.
He had always thought that Emperor Roufu was a vase that couldn't do anything, but the 5 blessings she brought to the whole territory had an effect, and the quantitative change finally turned into a qualitative change at one point.
Although the effect is only a few months, the effect covers the entire force, and only the increase in grain production is equivalent to an increase in income of several million taels.
"My lord, don't be here...... There are other maids here......"
Emperor Roufu thought that Chu Tian was suddenly interested in him, and his face turned red and he struggled weakly.
"You don't have to do these chores in the future, let the other maids take care of you. If you have time, you can take care of your two children. β
The more Chu Tian looked at Emperor Roufu, the more pleasing she became, and in the first year she came to the Lord's Mansion, auspicious appeared in the whole force......
And Emperor Roufu is not bad at all, but she is clumsy, weak, and easy to bully......
Offering it in the lord's mansion, it costs a maximum of a few hundred taels a year, and you don't have to trigger auspiciousness every year, even if it is triggered once every ten or eight years, it is all blood earning.
Chutian's forces have a lot of special buildings that increase the blessing value, and there is an emperor present, so the probability of auspiciousness is still very high. (Relatively speaking, it does not mean that it will appear every year)
In the ears of Emperor Roufu, he thought that Chu Tian planned to promote him to a concubine, so he hugged Chu Tian from behind.
"Ahem......"
When Cool and Mulan arrived in Summer, Emperor Roufu was so frightened that they hurriedly separated, just like the maid and the master had a relationship and were caught.
"I heard Xueyue say that the Grand Duchy of Moscow has broken out into conflict with the Golden Horde, and what is that Yeka, almost a war broke out with Jochi and Batu of the Golden Horde."
Summer Cool presents a piece of information.
"The Golden Horde was a powerful civilization, and they made the Rus' principalities suffer a lot."
Chutian knew something about the Golden Horde.
Jochi was Temujin's eldest son, and Batu was Temujin's grandson.
In history, the second western expedition of the Mongol Empire, the army of the eldest son, was led by Batu.
Batu defeated Hungary and was about to attack Germany when there were contradictions within the Mongol Empire. Otherwise, the main Mongol forces could attack Western Europe.
Catherine faced a formidable enemy.
"There are also the Ilkhanate that appeared in the Khorasan region of Persia, Tulei, MΓΆngke, Kublai Khan, and HΓΌlegΓΌ, these people have inflicted heavy losses on the Persian crusading army, and the Persian Empire may be conquered by the Ilkhanate."
"Attila, the leader of the Huns, the Visigothic king, is entering the ...... of the Rhine"
It's not very quiet everywhere.
It wasn't just the Han Empire that was threatened, but other civilizations also had their own troubles.
"There's also a very special piece of information."
Xia Liang looked at Chu Tian's eyes, and there seemed to be something wrong.
"Catherine in St. Petersburg, there is a suspicion that she has given birth to a child, although Catherine claims to be an adopted child, but ......"
"It shouldn't be such a coincidence......
When Chu Tian heard the news, he thought that Catherine had taken the initiative to contact him not long ago, and there was a good chance that he would ......
"Hmph, you handle this yourself. Mulan, let's go. β
Xia Liang seemed to be a little angry, and left with Mulan in a huff.
Chu Tian had a headache, and now the matter was a big problem. Catherine did force Chutian during the Third National War, and according to the probability, this son may be her own.
Chu Tian asked Ekaterina tentatively.
"It's not your son, absolutely, absolutely not!"
Ekaterina replied quickly.
This year, many civilians in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places claimed to have seen Bailu, Xiangyun and other auspicious rui.
The counties are thriving, the grain production has increased, and three gold ore veins have been discovered in Jiaodong, iron ore has been found in Youzhou and Jizhou, and coal mines have been found in Taiyuan County, Bingzhou......
If it weren't for the fact that the border was still fighting, the civilians everywhere might think that they were living in a peaceful and prosperous world.
During this period, various states and counties began to prepare for the imperial examination and recruit talents.
In this imperial examination, the focus was on recruiting commanders or generals who would lead troops to fight.
The families and commoners of all prefectures and counties knew that the Han Empire was preparing to crusade against the separatist power of Mobei, Temujin, and intended to reintegrate Mobei into the empire's territory.
The scale of the army to conquer Mobei is extremely exaggerated, and the number of generals needed is also thousands, especially the fierce generals who charge forward on the front line.
A commander may be able to command 10,000 people, but for every 1,000 people or 100 people, there must be generals who dare to charge into battle with soldiers, which is equivalent to the role of a thousand commanders and centurions in the Mongol Empire.
Therefore, this imperial examination is mainly based on martial arts, and it is planned to recruit thousands of ordinary generals with more than 50 military forces, disperse them to each legion, serve as the low-level officers of each legion, and follow the troops to launch an attack that looks like death when the battle is due.
Perhaps Wuju can also attract some reclusive commanders and generals.
Not all commanders and generals are willing to serve their lords.
First of all, they have to see if they are compatible with the lord; Secondly, there are some commanders and generals, and their way out is not just to join the army.
For example, Gongzi Wei Wuji, he relies on his customers to do business, and he can still live in Xia City without worrying about food and clothing.
There are also some commanders and generals who are interested in engaging in new lords because their former loyal lords have been killed.
For various reasons, not all heroes will come out.
Not only the Chutian forces, but also Lao Qin, Ming Guan, Liu Bei, Tongque, Yang Shilang and others will take advantage of the imperial examination held once a year to recruit talents on a large scale and wipe out all the talents in their sphere of influence.
"Zhang Ren is unwilling to take refuge in us."
Inhuman Military Master Chen Xi returned to Mianzhu and shook his head.
Liu Yan's troops, but Liu Yan's subordinate Zhang Ren planned to support Liu Zhang and let Liu Bei's forces be frustrated.
Although Zhang Ren has a certain military talent, he is foolish and loyal, and it is difficult to subdue. Chen Xi could win over a group of Yizhou families and accept Liu Bei from outside, but he couldn't convince Zhang Ren, who was too stubborn.
"There's a distinguished guest coming to visit."
Wang Meng attracted Yang Su.
When Chen Xi saw Yang Su, his eyes lit up.
Yang Su was no longer in high spirits before, and Zhao Long trusted Yang Su and let Yang Su take over the military and political power. In the Battle of Fukou, Yang Su was defeated and failed Zhao Long's expectations of him, and Zhao Long was even defeated and died.
Chen Xi hurriedly said: "With General Yang's talent, it is enough to command 200,000 soldiers and horses, if you can get General Yang's help and help the Han family, it will be just around the corner." β
"My lord is Bole, I am a thousand-mile horse, all of them are indispensable. Today, I can't be loyal to General Zuo and Youzhou Mu Liu Xuande. β
Yang Su rejected Chen Xi's kindness.
It was impossible for him to surrender to Liu Bei.
"Then General Yang came to Mianzhu, why did he come to Mianzhu?"
"Without him, gather the old ministry and avenge the old master, that's all."
Yang Su was full of resentment towards Xia Liang, who commanded the Central Plains army and killed Zhao Long in the Battle of Fukou.
Although Zhao Long is more insidious to other princes, he is indeed confident in several of his subordinates, otherwise the trial will not be deadly.
Chen Xi and Wang Meng glanced at each other.
When Yang Su arrives, then the problem is more complicated.
Originally, as soon as Zhao Long died, Hu Luguang and King Lanling, who were sent by Zhao Long to help Liu Bei, had to rely on Liu Bei.
As a result, Yang Su used the teleportation array to escape to Mianzhu, and wanted to gather the old department to avenge Zhao Long, so Hu Luguang and King Lanling would most likely return to Yang Su's account to listen to the order.
Yang Su will become the same prince as Liu Bei.
Within one power, there are two princes, and the relationship between the two sides is difficult to handle.
"Please rest assured, as long as General Zuo stays in Xia, in order to avenge Xia, he can garrison troops in Xiaxia, and never interfere in internal affairs, if necessary, he can be driven by General Zuo."
Yang Su also knew that he had just arrived, and the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, and the relationship with Liu Bei was just like the relationship between Zhao Long and Liu Bei at the beginning, but the status of the two sides was reversed.
A dog has his day.
Liu Bei asked the two military advisors: "Two military advisors, what do you think?" β
Chen Xi said in a low voice: "For the sake of today's plan, I have to do this. β
Chen Xi also had to compromise with Yang Su.
Yang Su brought a group of remnants, Hu Luguang and King Lanling returned to Yang Su's forces, and the quality of talents was not much better than Liu Bei.
However, Yang Su is both civil and military, such a talent did not surrender, but chose to become a prince, for Liu Bei, it is difficult to control, after all, it is a big hidden danger.
"If it is used well, it may become a sharp blade to seize Yizhou and Hanzhong."
Wang Meng was thoughtful.
"This time, the lord can open the Zuo General's Mansion in Mianzhu to recruit talents."
The general, the hussar general, and the chariot cavalry general were taken away by Chutian, Mingguan, and Lao Qin respectively, and Liu Bei is only a general of the left so far, and he can only recruit talents in the name of opening the general's mansion of the left.
