17. Luoyang nostalgia

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"The sun is shining brightly, the rooster sings three times, the flowers wake up, the birds are busy grooming ......"

Li Shushi has been in a pretty good mood recently, not only because the spring of the third year of Chuping should be a good year, but more importantly, a certain beautiful woman who has been hidden for a long time has finally returned, and the strange seeds and tubers brought back are scattered into the land before the end of spring sowing, which makes people have more expectations for the harvest period in a few months.

Although high-yield crops are made by manure, after all, high-yield crops also need to abide by the conservation of quality, and those extra yields cannot appear out of thin air, so if you plant high-yield crops but cannot guarantee the supply of fertilizer, then the result can only be that the fertility in the soil will be completely drained after a few years, and it will become a desert that cannot be planted at all.

In this way, it seems that the emergence of high-yielding crops can only be cultivated on a small scale, and cannot be spread on a large scale.

However, I have to say that the Hedong region is indeed a place with many treasures.

The most important elements in fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Among them, potassium and nitrogen can be collected from the Hedong area, while phosphate rock can be mined from the Yanmen area. Perhaps with the technical level of this era, it may not be possible to make high-yield crops spread to every corner of the region, but for the people, this is already a godsend.

"Nitrate is the same as salt, and the moisture under the earth is steamed, and it is present on the ground."

Although the book "Heavenly Creation" depicts a qiฤ“ that is not this era, but the appearance that has undergone changes more than a thousand years later, Li Shushi has only read such books extensively. I've admired the name for a long time. But as a second-year teenager who once aspired to become a warmonger, at least he remembered that the saltpeter produced in Sichuan, Shanxi and Shandong was very famous.

Anyway, if you hand over the general things to the professionals, there will naturally be a group of people who will break your legs for you, although it may seem a little inhumane, but this is not the first time for those men, and naturally it will not be the last.

Anyway, there will always be a lot of surprises for everyone in the end.

The same is true for phosphate rock, although the reserves and quality of Shanxi are not comparable with those of Yungui and Jingxiang in the southwest, but this thing is distributed almost everywhere in the country, and it should be able to meet the demand for a small area when it is dug up.

As for how these ores and refined saltpeter can be turned into usable fertilizers......

I'm sorry. Every county in Dahan has officials who are specially promoted because they are good at farming. Bringing these people together must be able to make something, after all, you have to believe in the wisdom of the people~

Anyway, Li Shushi said that he relied on the masses and trusted the masses, which is a very advanced governing philosophy. It's definitely not taking the opportunity to be lazy.

Well. After all, there are more important things for him to deal with.

A magistrate asked what major issues could make Li Shushi not pay attention to agriculture, which is the foundation of the country?

This answer is naturally Yuan Shu who was kicked out of Nanyang by Liu Biao. Finally, he finished resting in Yuzhou and raised troops to go north to Yanzhou.

Of course, this is just an introduction. What really interested Li Shushi was a letter from Nanyang.

This is a letter from Zhang Jitong, a core member of the Xiliang Army Group stationed in Wuguan, and his nephew Zhang Xiu, who is stationed in Wuguan, and the content of the letter is not much, in addition to mentioning the increasingly erosive form of Chang'an, the most important thing is that Zhang Ji mentioned in his heart that he was increasingly dissatisfied with Li Dao and Guo Yan, who controlled Chang'an City, and had plans to become independent from the Xiliang Army, so he hoped to borrow the help of soldiers, horses, grain and grass from Li Shushi, so that he could get a county in Nanyang and the right to live in Nanyang.

The letter immediately aroused Li Shushi's interest.

That is the Nanyang Basin, although it has only been less than ten years since the Yellow Turban Uprising, it has experienced the Yellow Turban Army, Li Shushi, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and the Western Liang Army, but as a key place in the world, it still has an abundant water system and relatively fertile soil, and no one has ever ignored the potential for growth there.

Moreover, as more and more displaced people flee from Xiliang to Bingshuo, even Li Shucheng, who has always refused to come, now feels a little unbearable, 100,000 people scattered on the land of Bingshuo may not be able to make much waves, but what about hundreds of thousands of people? What about hundreds of thousands?

Expansion, not only to expand, but also to be able to accommodate so many people in the expanded area.

Looking around, only the south is the most suitable.

There is not only the Nanyang Basin, which Li Shushi covets, but also the center of the world blocked by the Eight Passes - Luoyang, the Han capital.

The place name Luoyang has always been a little awkward in Li Shushi's concept.

This is an ancient capital with a long history, and it is not inferior to Xi'an, the ancient capital of the recognized thirteen dynasties - the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasty built their capitals in these two places, and the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty settled here respectively, and even the Tang Dynasty was also a national capital and a companion capital.

Even compared to Xi'an, which is located in the northwest, Luoyang, which is located in the center of the ancient Chinese political territory, has more advantages.

However, whether it is in the Five Elements or in reality, the central part of the country is destined to be a place of war. At the crossroads of Europe, Germany is either a plate of scattered sand, or it must face attacks from all directions, even if the heroes are outstanding, they can't stand the wolves around them, and Luoyang is destroyed again and again in the war, rebuilding, destroying, rebuilding the cycle of reincarnation, and finally gave up its original status to Bianliang City, which is not far from it, and then finally lost its former glory because of various natural disasters.

It is not even as good as Xi'an, which has stood for thousands of years, at least it still has the location of the northwest gateway. At the dawn of a new era, it carries new responsibilities and hopes.

So for a modern soul, Luoyang is nothing more than a place where peonies are produced in its impression, and other than that...... I'm sorry, but Li Shushi really lacks any conceptual impression of this ancient capital, let alone has an in-depth understanding of it.

But in this era, what Luoyang brought to Li Shushi was the deepest shock - the history of the city, the memory of the city, and the incomparable glory of the city.

I still remember the first time I stepped into the city and saw the tall walls and the flow of people. Maybe that's really nothing for a modern person, after all, there are taller buildings and more human beings in the steel forest, but after living in this era for a long time, you will experience that kind of unique shock - just like a countryman entering the city for the first time, all so curious, and one so dreamy.

That's the ultimate human being can achieve in this era.

That was the pinnacle that the Han nation showed to the world that only they could achieve.

Of course, now this qiฤ“ only exists in Li Shushi's dreams, and this impression is deepened and beautified in the midnight dreams, and then becomes a dream that he is pursuing. A representative symbol.

This once despised the city of Luoyang. Men who thought it was too small to bear the ambitions of the empire now dream of building a city from the ruins with their own hands that is even more magnificent than he dreamed.

Ambition? Bite off more than one can chew?

Or a Chinese who have gone through a dark age intends to commemorate the country and its people who have generally lost self-confidence in this way, just like the otaku who once closed his heart, and is also full of vigilance and anxiety about the qiฤ“ around him.

A teapot, a teacup, several teacups with Gaio and tea trays, and a person kneeling on each of the tea mats on the floor. Eyes and nose. Nose and mouth. Ask your heart. A tea wash, a sand cho, and a feather fan fanned a small copper stove burning with bamboo charcoal.

The water is spring water from the mountains, and it is the top ingredient used to make fragrant Fenjiu. Tea is high mountain tea, which is a precious variety from Shuzhong.

On fire. Dig out the fire, fan the stove, clean the utensils, wait for the water, pour the cup...... There is no noise in the room except for the soft sound of the water boiling when it boils, and with Su Xiaololi's beautiful dance-like movements step by step, the guests on the surrounding tea mats feel the beauty of the combination of stillness and movement. So, the heart was calm, the spirit was lightened, and the soul was moved.

At this moment, the quality of tea is no longer important, and what everyone is pursuing seems to be just the process of tasting - the heart is in harmony with the crystallization of nature, and the heart is used to feel the leap from nature, and then the dust of the heart is removed, and the soul is like a mirror.

It's just that when the aroma of tea lingers on the tip of the nose, it is pleasant to move on the taste buds, tasting the bitterness with the sweetness, the bitterness hidden in the sweetness, and the bitter sweetness, but suddenly it is clear that his life has finally been integrated into this cup.

After a long time, I exhaled softly, and took the opportunity to expel the dirt in my body, and suddenly felt that my eyes and ears were clear, and a mysterious feeling was born from my heart, and the whole person seemed to become different.

It's just that...... Such a wonderful feeling is not destined to last long.

"I always feel that the lord, you made such a show before talking about business, which makes us very uncomfortable."

"Yes, yes, I haven't yet completely become an elegant person, but now I have to be a layman again."

"No, no, no, no matter how hard you try to be bong, the word 'Yaren' is still too far away from you."

"Zilong, you, a guy who has been in the barracks all day, are no better!"

So, the little feeling that had just risen disappeared without a trace in the familiar sound of quarrel.

Well, some people may never learn such an elegant thing, at least for now.

"However, thank you for your hospitality, the tea is good."

A certain prodigal son held an empty cup and saluted Li Shushi, and then his eyes closed slightly, as if he was wandering in heaven.

In other words, it was supposed to be an exclusive skill that belonged only to Li Shushi, but now it seems that there is a tendency to be promoted in the hands of this prodigal son.

Of course, at this time, there was no cute Lori by the side of a certain prodigal son who made his hatred soar, and naturally there was no stupid cute boy who took the initiative to stand up and be a human shield to transfer hatred for him, so naturally there would be no uncontrollable "big chaos".

Anyway, is it true that the fox is a creature that is naturally extremely sensitive to the sense of storage - the old fox changed the way to throw his sense of storage out, and now the little fox simply throws his sense of storage to others, but he is more idle on the side, and by the way, he drinks and watches a good show.

It's really enviable, no, it's a heretic who must be burned at the stake!

Uh, it doesn't seem right, I always feel that my back is cold when I say this, is it an illusion?

Seeing that the bickering over there has ended, although Lu Bu has finished blowing up Zhao Yun in terms of the thickness of his face, he has probably been played too much by Li Shushi's various shameful p1ay. The thickness of Zilong sauce's face is also increasing day by day, coupled with his IQ that is not high but enough to blow up the little strong children's shoes, the result is that the little strong children's shoes at this time can only secretly luck and recuperate their spirits.

Very good Zilong sauce, in recognition of your contributions, let Ying'er design a few new sets of costumes for you today.

So before poor Zilong-chan could be complacent about the victory of Xiaoqiang's children's shoes for a long time, the chrysanthemum tightened and her face was bitter.

"Let's talk about the problem of Nanyang, what kind of process should we be involved in."

After waiting so long, I can finally get to the point.

The tone of the discussion was not whether to help Zhang Ji or not, but in what way. What kind of Cheng dรน comes to "help".

Other words. Li Shushi's plan to go south seems inevitable.

Merely......

"Lord, please forgive Cheng Li, you care more about a county in Henan than the land of Nanyang. Or are you planning to rebuild the Imperial City of Luoyang? If that's the case. Then we need to make some adjustments to our attitude towards Nanyang. โ€

"Henan Yinnai is the core of Gyeonggi. Naturally, it's coveted, but it's just such a thing as rebuilding the imperial city, even if I did think about it in my dreams. But I also know that relying on the power of merger is too difficult, and it is something that needs to be considered in the long run. โ€

"Luoyang or something, let's put it aside first, let's send troops directly to Poyang Lake, I have long heard from Huang Hansheng that the fish there are delicious, compared to the fish in the Yellow River, it has a different taste."

Well, in the eyes of a creature like Cao Ling, there is only one reason why it is not worth doing it, and that is whether you can get enough delicious food after doing it - others may lose some weight after staying in the north for a while, but this person is the only one who has miraculously increased his waist circumference by more than three circles, so you can imagine what kind of poison the birds and beasts there have encountered.

"Dao Ling's words are very happy, bulldoze Liu Biao, cross the Yangtze River, let us see if Jingnan's sister paper has a special taste!"

Ah Xiaoqiang goodbye, ah Xiaoqiang goodbye, ah Xiaoqiang goodbye, don't you see, from behind you, a magical frying pan......

After Xiaoqiang, who couldn't come up with an effective construction at all, was dragged away by a certain loli and probably would be trained โ™‚, there was a brief silence in the room, but everyone's interest in discussing it didn't seem to fade because of this, and a new round of controversy soon began again.

"The relationship between Liu Biao and Yuan Shao is a little ambiguous, and we and Yuan Shao have only just reconciled, if we blatantly send troops to Jingzhou at this time, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not let us go south comfortably."

"Yuan Benchu not only has to face the attack of the Yellow Turban Army from Jizhou, but also needs to watch out for Gongsun Bogui from Youzhou and Yuan Highway in the south, does he really have the spare strength to deal with us? If he had this ability, he would not have shown us favor in the first place. โ€

"The lord once said, 'There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests', before it was because Yuan Shao thought that compared to the pressure we gave him, Yuan Highway made it more difficult for him to sleep, but if we get the land of Jingzhou, maybe the two Yuan will join forces! Because at that time, our strength is only afraid that it will be stronger than Dong Zhuo at the beginning. โ€

"The current princes are no longer the coalition forces that they could work together at the beginning, they have already torn their faces, and we can completely implement the strategy of connecting and horizontal, such as Tao Gongzu and Gongsun Bogui, it may not be too difficult to convince them."

"So what's in it for us to go to war directly with Liu Biao? It's just that in order to get the land of Nanyang, it is necessary to hate Liu Biao, who has already run the land of Jingbei, and it may even chill the heart of Zhang Ji, who came to contact us, this kind of approach will not be taken by a wise man. Not to mention that you have to worry about the continuous counterattack from Liu Biao later. It must be known that compared with the lofty mountains and endless dense forests of the four counties of Jingnan, the terrain of Nanyang is easier to deploy the army, and relying on the Han River can make the strength of the naval army far away from the Liu Biao army of our army in a strategic invincible position, and the wealth contained in Nanyang is also far away from the barbarian land of Jingnan. โ€

"Didn't you say it just now, it's good to kill Liu Biao or something!"

Hey? Xiaoqiang, didn't you just be dragged away and trained โ™‚, why did you appear here again now, could it be that this is the earthbound spirit turned into an obsession that cannot be eliminated after you die!

Feng Shui priests, Taoist priests, come and give this earth binding spirit a degree!

"General Fengxian's idea is good, but it is not easy to implement."

To the surprise of many people, this time it turned out to be ...... Huang Zhong!

"Well, Hansheng is from Nanyang, and he knows more about the situation in Jingzhou, and he may look at this matter from a different angle than ordinary people, so Fengxian, don't blow your beard over there and stare at you, be careful of being pulled away by others for treatment โ™‚."

And so, the world was clean again.

Why do you say "again"?

Well, these unimportant things are just thrown aside.

"Nanyang is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north, only in the south there are not many mountains but there is a not shallow Han River, so the climate there is very different from the north, and I think that the generals who participated in the battle of Wancheng have experienced it.

The Jingzhou area south of Nanyang is full of water networks, among which the junction of Jiangxia Nanjun has the Yunmeng Daze hunted by the ancient Chu kings, and the swamps are all over the Zena, if there is no guidance from the locals, it is easy to fall into it and unable to extricate itself. Both in terms of scale and complexity, Cheng Dรน is far greater than Huang Ze in the south of Wei County.

Jingnan area not only has lofty mountains and mountains, but also has the vast Peng Lize, which is wide, mighty, difficult to see, and the waves are turbulent even if the legendary sea of stormy waves is nothing more than this (Li Shushi smiled and said nothing). Moreover, this is the only waterway to enter Jingnan, so if there is no water army that is proficient in water, this will be a nightmare for our army.

Of course, the above difficulties can be overcome for our army athletes, but the most difficult thing is the climate in Jingxiang - the summer is hot and humid, staying in Jiangxia, Changsha and other places is like staying in a steamer, and the water in the whole body seems to be lost with the fumigation of the sun. In winter, the dampness does not abate, people seem to have fallen into ice water, and all the limbs seem to be eroded by freezing gas, even if you stretch your waist, it will make people feel that their bodies have been eaten by tens of thousands of ants, and the pain is unbearable.

Not to mention the miasma between the mountains and jungles, even if the locals are not careful, they will be poisoned by the miasma, but those miasma are their most natural allies to the barbarians in the mountains and forests, their partners in battle.

All in all, if there is no one to respond, or if there is civil strife in Jingzhou, when the surrounding princes' intentions are unpredictable, it is indeed not easy to take Jingzhou in one go. The most important thing is that Liu Jingsheng can sweep away the past shortcomings of Jingzhou, let the local family listen to his command, and have many heroes who fled the war and went south to Jingzhou to work for him, and Jingzhou is only afraid that it will involve a lot of energy of our army. โ€

Huang Zhong's words made the room quiet again.

But Li Shushi noticed that in the contemplative expression of the room, in an inconspicuous corner, the smile on the face of a certain little guy was particularly dazzling at this time......

Pan Sen: Somehow, the recent actions of the Celestial Empire in the northwest reminded us of the policy adopted in the Eastern Han Dynasty to buy enemy chieftains for bounties to the Qianghu in the northwest. (To be continued......)
