Chapter 238: There is a change in the pass

In the second year of Xingping, although the situation in the eastern part of the country has changed a lot, Jingzhou and Xiyuan are still dirty, except for Liu Biao's recovery of the four counties of Jingnan, there are almost no sword soldiers. This year, Ma Jun's design overturned, and Zhang Xiu's usurped Quyuan plough began to be put into use, the two new technologies should be coupled with this year's wind and rain, so that the three counties have a bumper harvest of grain and grass. In addition to these two agricultural tools, movable type printing was also developed by Ma Jun, but the firing clay characters were prone to breaking. The technology still needs to be improved, and Cai Hou paper is very expensive. Therefore, not many books were printed, but some were reprinted for the only books of Dongguan and Lantai, and many common books such as the Analects were also printed. But they were just kept in the library for scholars to read.

Time soon turned to the third year of Xingping, Zhang Xiu sat in front of the courtyard, hugged Chen Yao and Cai Yan, whose lower abdomen was slightly swollen, and watched the two children play in front of the courtyard, laughing and worshipping

Seeing this, Chen Yao glanced at Zhang Xiu, and said angrily: "Don't laugh so loudly and be careful to scare the child in Sister Cai's belly." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it, and the laughter suddenly stopped. Cai Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, Doctor Hua Shen has already checked Yan's pulse before he goes to Yunyou, and Mr. Zhang also came to check Yan's pulse this morning, so it's okay." ”

While the three of them were talking, they saw the girl in the courtyard fall. Zhang Xiu saw it. Hurriedly said, "Not good, Cher. With that, he immediately pounced and helped the girl up. The boy next to him saw it, pulled Zhang Xiu's sleeve and asked, "Daddy, little aunt, is she okay?" It turned out that these two children, the male was Zhang Xiu's beloved son Zhang Quan, and the female was a few months younger than Zhang Quan, Zhang Ji and Gao's beloved daughter Zhang Xue.

Zhang Xiu took a closer look, and now there is no major problem. Only then did he smile: "It's nothing." ”

At this time, Zhang Xue wrapped her arms around Zhang Xiu, and shouted in a milky voice and slurred words: "Brother." Cher wants to hug. Zhang Quan, who was next to him, saw it and shouted: "Dad, Quan'er also wants it." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled helplessly, picked up the two of them with his left and right hands, and let them sit on his arms, while Zhang Xiu kept spinning and teasing the two, seeing Chen Yao and Cai Yanjiao next to him smiling again and again.

After playing for a while, Zhang Xue was sharp-eyed and saw someone coming in outside. Immediately clapped his hands happily and said, "Sister Zhao is here, Sister Zhao is here." ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, her scalp was numb, and she immediately put the two children down, and sure enough, she saw that Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Yu had already entered the courtyard. Zhang Xiu is such a person for Zhao Yu. The ghost girl still feels a little big, since the battle of Hanzhong has come to an end. After Chen Yao and Gao's gave birth to children one after another, Zhao Yu became a frequent visitor to Zhang's mansion, and often came to visit Er, and Zhao Yu didn't know why he liked to work against Zhang Xiu, which made Zhang Xiu's scalp numb when he saw her, so he couldn't avoid it.

Zhang Xiu pulled the two young people to Chen Yao and said, "I still have important things to do for my husband, so I won't accompany the two ladies first." After speaking, he didn't wait for the two to speak. Immediately escaped from the other gate of the courtyard, Zhao Yu saw it, and couldn't stop screaming if he wanted to.

Out of the door of the Great Sima Mansion, Zhang Xiu actually showed that he had nothing to do, these days have been to the barracks several times to inspect, and the generals competed, more than a year, Zhang Xiu daily practice Tai Chi and five poultry play, the strength and toughness of the body gradually improved, and with the growth of age and Zhang Quan, Zhang Xue's successive births, Zhang Xiu's martial arts have a great impact, the whole person is not as sharp as before the tiger prison, but there is a feeling of not showing the mountains and water, in Tong Yuan's words. is to return to the basics, not far from the success of martial arts.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the current Zhang Xiu is more powerful than Lu Bu, after all, everyone's martial arts are different, and Zhang Xiu can't say whether he can beat Lu Bu or not. But now in terms of competition, whether it is Huang Zhong, who is gradually getting old and has slightly regressed in martial arts, or Zhao Yun, who is both superb in guns and swords, and is sharp, or Tai Shici, who has been guided by Tong Yuan and Wang Yue, and has made further progress in martial arts, is not Zhang Xiu's opponent, of course? The face may be because Zhang Xiu is the lord, and the reason for the competition is in it, it can't be true, but Zhang Xiu's martial arts have progressed, which is beyond doubt.

After thinking about it, if I went to the barracks again. pulled the generals to compete, but he was afraid that today's soldiers' training would be disturbed by himself, so he decided not to go to the barracks anymore, and instead led Hu Che'er and several personal guards to the Taishou Mansion.

When the net walked inside, he saw Zhong He, Li Yan and Meng Da were very busy, and Zhong Que was sitting on the main seat in front of the hall and constantly approving it. Li Yan is the same, and he has to move around from time to time, and when he goes into the back hall to check the files, Meng Da is even busier. In addition to making approvals, he also had to help pass on information to Zhong Que and Li Yan, in short, he was very busy.

Zhang Xiu touched his nose and muttered, "It seems that the embroidery is not at the right time." ”

After more than a year of getting along, the three of them knew that Zhang Xiu, the lord, would only watch from the side and would not come to help, so the three simply didn't speak, said hello and continued to work. Zhang Xiu, who was bored, walked out of the Taishou Mansion. In Wancheng. Leisure, when I went out, I saw a lot of merchants selling silk silk, silk and tea, which has become a specialty of the three counties and is very popular in all parts of Dahan. Especially the families from all over the world, they have to send caravans to Wancheng to purchase without fear of war.

Among them, silk and silk are concerned, what is sold in the three counties is more beautiful than other places. Not to mention the wonderful variety and exquisiteness of the patterns, there are also the same as nature, and they can be like the two qi of yin and yang repeatedly changing endlessly, and the supply of goods is endless. No matter how many caravans are sent by the local families to purchase, they can get the goods within a month, so the reputation is better.

You tell why the silk and silk of these three counties are better than the rest, and they are woven quickly. This is related to Ma Jun's improvement of the silk loom, the old style of the silk loom, fifty times with fifty feet. Sixty of the comprehensive use of sixty feet, laborious and time-consuming, after the improvement of the horse, all changed to twelve. Irritable. It makes it possible to weave a variety of patterns, and the time taken is shortened several times, which is why the silk silk and silk of the three counties are popular.

Of course, in modern times, Zhang Xiu, who is well aware of the importance of trade secrets, has also done a lot of precautions, first asking businessmen to cooperate and contribute money to set up several silk and satin workshops, so as to share the share of the money and enjoy the profits, and then pay for female workers to do imitation weaving, and finally sell it on the market. As for how to sell, how to hire female workers. Zhang Xiu didn't ask, he was just responsible for sending people to guard the new type of silk weaving machine, so that the families and princes from all over the country would know.

Whether Zhang Xiu's move was intentional or unintentional, it made the employment relationship appear in Chinese history in advance. And let the merchants enjoy the benefits. The rest of the merchants of the three counties in various trades, who were able, also followed this example and hired some female workers or idlers to work, so that large and small handicraft workshops were formed in various parts of the three counties, although the number was very large, but the fire had been kindled.

In addition to the imitation weaving due to Ma Jun's improvement of the weaving machine, the silk and silk produced in the three counties are very popular, and the new product of tea is also welcomed by the families around the world, especially because the families around the country are scribes, for the sweet taste of tea, but the drink that calms the mind is even more rushing, and because the tea is not too suitable for the cultivation of the three counties, it will be sold on the market after the use of important officials in the three counties, so that the tea is sold to the extent of one hundred gold and one tael, which shows the love of the family people around the world for tea.

Due to the advent of silk and tea, Zhang Xiu also reorganized business in response. First of all, some of the previous business-related taxes are all classified into a commercial tax, which makes it much easier for businessmen to pay taxes, and the officials who collect taxes are also a lot more convenient, which is a good praise for both businessmen and officials, of course, only the honest officials of the three counties will praise, if it is the officials with serious corruption in the rest of the places, Zhang Xiu's move can be said to make them no longer record layer by layer, and it is already very good. Not to mention the compliments.

Zhang Xiu saw that Wancheng at this time was different from when he was first in charge, and Wancheng was already at the intersection of the east and west of the Han Dynasty and the north and south. Especially after Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, Wancheng, which is very close to Luoyang, has become the most prosperous city in the center of the Han Dynasty, and the special products produced by the three counties can only be sold in Wancheng, which makes the prosperity of Wancheng now catch up with Luoyang of the day, compared with the current capital Chang who is shrouded in war every day, the prosperous Wancheng seems to be more like the capital of the entire Han Dynasty.

Zhang Xiu walked on the street, passing by some small shops and bought some small items and accessories. There are also some toys that children like to give to their two wives and sons, Zhang Quan and his cousin.

Just as Zhang Xiu was about to go to the largest teahouse in Wancheng to sit down, Hu Che'er next to him suddenly came to Zhang Xiu's side and whispered: "Lord, Mr. Jia and Mr. Fa said that there is an urgent matter to report, please ask the lord to report it." Zhang Xiu heard it and said curiously: "Huh? Did Wen He say what it was? ”

Hu Che'er replied: "Mr. Jia said that there is a change in the pass. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he said happily: "Great." Finally there was something to do. ”

Hu Che'er heard it, stunned for a while, as Zhang Xiu's personal guard, he naturally knew that Zhang Xiu was almost idle every day, not that Zhang Xiu didn't want to find something to do, but in the handling of civil affairs, as long as Zhang Xiu put forward some useful suggestions and the general direction, Zhong Xuan, Du Ji and Li Ru would deal with it in an orderly manner, and Zhang Xiu was really not good at dealing with civil affairs, so he had to grasp the general direction. Let the rest go and let the three handle it. In the army, two-thirds of his subordinates are generals, Zhang Xiu went, he only watched the practice, and finally left in front of the soldiers and the generals after a few battles, so that his brave image can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the soldiers.

Now that he heard that there was a change, Zhang Xiu immediately thought that it might be the escape of the emperor, although the time has become inaccurate because of his arrival, but the wheel of history still runs along a fixed trajectory in major events, so Zhang Xiu can listen to it.
