Chapter 880: Magic is the primary productive force
"Tsk, the Taiping Tao Sutra is really extraordinary!"
Flipping through the thin pages in his hand, Lei Hu shook his head and said: "It's a pity that it's only a very small part, only the production of healing talisman water and part of the means of cultivating Yellow Turban Lux, it's too little!" ”
His arms can't twist his thighs, and Guan Hai is currently suffering a serious injury and needs to meditate and cultivate, otherwise it will be impossible to recover as before.
At present, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is the strongest in the Thunder Tiger Division, and the rest of the generals were directly given seconds by Guan Yu in the previous battles with the Plains Army, and it is the best result for Thunder Tiger to take over the whole situation.
As for Lei Hu's request for part of the "Taiping Tao Sutra" on his body, although Guan Hai was very unhappy in his heart, for the sake of his own life and the stability of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, he had to take it out as an exchange bargaining chip, at least to ensure the integrity and independence of his subordinates.
Lei Hu didn't want to do this, he wished that Guan Hai would take away all the bastards in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army who completely destroyed their conscience, so as not to worry about watching it.
It didn't take long for the dilapidated Beihai area of Qingzhou to undergo earth-shaking changes.
Hundreds of millions of people wrapped in the Yellow Turban Army were properly placed in the shortest possible time, and then they were assigned production tasks, which quickly restored the ruined Beihai region to life.
The aura of heaven and earth in this world is much richer than that of Lei Hu's previous Xiuzhen world, and the territory of the same Great Han Empire is also much larger than that of the Great Song Empire in the Xiuzhen world, which also means that the Great Han Empire in this world is rich.
Without the exploitation of the government and local tyrants, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and the old and weak women and children reclaimed wasteland, planted high-yield grain, and built water conservancy and repaired roads and bridges.
In addition, the Taiping Taoist master in the army made rune spells to promote the rapid growth of grain and grain, as well as a small-scale spiritual rain and heavenly method, and within half a year, the entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban control area has been a happy harvest, people's hearts are stable and orderly.
Lei Hu, the position of the new generation of the big leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, is more stable, and has been recognized by the vast majority of the Yellow Turban soldiers and the people.
He didn't think much of it.
The biggest change made by Lei Hu is just to let the Taoist masters in the Yellow Turban Army and the Yellow Turban Lux participate in the production and construction, so as to double the production efficiency, so as to have a new atmosphere of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
With enough food, there is so much that can be done when the hearts are settled.
Among the people coerced by the Yellow Turban Army, whether it was a scholar or a craftsman, there were still some, and they were all separately recruited to set up special literacy camps and artisan camps, and many production, life and military tools were quickly produced under the guidance of Lei Hu.
However, in less than half a year, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has changed from the previous Liukou group to a political and military group with considerable development potential under the sorting and adjustment of Lei Hu.
In his eyes, the Yellow Turban Army, which has the Taiping Taoist Division, has a much superior development potential compared to the so-called families and local warlords.
Spells are productivity!
Ordinary families and local warlords, how can they invite hundreds or thousands of qi practitioners in one go to help them improve their production efficiency and labor efficiency, and it is almost the same as being an uncle.
But in the Yellow Turban Army, any general can mobilize a large number of Taiping Taoists to participate in production activities, and there will be no negative effect, this is an advantage, and it is a huge advantage.
No, the rapid development momentum of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the Beihai region has really shocked Liu Bei, the plain minister who has been paying close attention here.
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
Don't talk about Liu Bei, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help but show surprise when they saw the development report of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and then shook their heads again and again to express their disbelief.
You must know that Liu Bei has been mixing in the plains for more than a year, and he just makes the people of the plains get by, and there is nothing like improving productivity and labor efficiency, and even so, he has been unanimously praised by the people of the plains.
can compare the performance and harvest of Qingzhou Yellow Turban in just half a year, it is simply a slap in the face.
As the saying goes, people are worse than people and goods are better than goods, compared to Lei Hu, the newly rising leader of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, Liu Bei's ability to govern the local development of productive forces is too far behind.
Not to mention, the grain output of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the second half of the year is not only enough for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban for most of the year, but even some of it can be sold for other resources.
In this chaotic world, grain is the most reliable hard currency, Qingzhou Yellow Turban can take out part of the grain to sell to the outside world, this kind of handwriting made Liu Bei and others amazed, and they were not envious.
"Big brother, if it continues to develop like this, it won't take more than two years for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to sweep the entire Qingzhou!"
"Yes, who knew that Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, was so exaggerated, and his ability to govern the place was so strong, that people didn't know what to say!"
"What can I say, for now, let's try not to fall out with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and if possible, we must have a good relationship with them, and it is best to exchange enough food and grass from them!"
"Big brother, what's the matter, we have been in the plains for so long, and we can only barely achieve self-sufficiency in grain and grass until now, and if we encounter a little bit of trouble, there may be a risk of running out of food, and our plain country is not smaller than Beihai County, right?"
"Not only that, not to mention that the grain and grass on the side of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou are sufficient, didn't the intelligence also say that they even have the spare energy to run a literacy camp and a craftsman camp, not to mention the literacy camp, I don't see any use, but according to the intelligence, the artisan battalion can make simple knives, guns, crossbows and other combat equipment, which is really depressing!"
"Third brother, don't talk about it, it seems that we don't know enough about Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, why don't we try to contact them?"
"That's exactly how it should be!"
……
When Jian Yong arrived in Beihai County as an envoy of the Plains, he did not suffer much trouble.
Just look at his expression, and know that his heart is not at peace.
Along the way, the rest of Qingzhou is still dilapidated, even the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai appointed by Gongsun Zan is stationed in the city, and there is no measure to restore people's livelihood at all.
However, when it came to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban District, the situation changed abruptly, the official road was spacious and flat, obviously deliberately renovated, and the road was lined with straight ditches, and the ditches connected to the acres of fields.
From his point of view, the acres on both sides of the official road are neatly planned and the water conservancy is perfect, and they can be regarded as first-class fertile fields.
What surprised him the most was that all the busy people in the fields were young and strong, and the old people and children were just helping to pour water and carry baskets on the ridges of the fields, doing some easy work within their ability.
On the road, all the pedestrians came and went in a hurry, a busy and unusual posture, either carrying heavy objects on their bodies, or driving an ox cart with a smile on their faces, and their spirits were really full and full.
The deeper you go into the inner part of the Yellow Turban area of Qingzhou, all you see is an orderly and vibrant scene, the people live in peace and commerce are prosperous, it does not seem to be one of the sources of chaos under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army, compared to the prosperous counties when the Han Empire was not completely chaotic, there is only an endless stream of business travelers from the south to the north.
When he arrived at Beihai County, he was even more dumbfounded, the order in front of him turned out, the bustling and noisy city where people came and went, was it a place that was besieged by 100 million yellow scarves half a year ago and was broken, and was tossed into a dilapidated place?
The person who entertained Jian Yong was an 'acquaintance', who had fought desperately to fight hundreds of millions of yellow turbans and went to the plains to ask for help, Tai Shici, who was already the captain of the guard battalion beside Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.
Facing Jian Yong's puzzled look, Tai Shici was not embarrassed, and directly explained why he joined the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
In fact, it was very simple, attracted by the ability of Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.
His hometown is not far from Donglai, and there is still an old mother in the hall at home, because he is included in the rule of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Tai Shici is not at ease to leave to find the future of the Lord.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was not embarrassed, and later the Yellow Turban leader Lei Hu only took less than half a year to make a prosperous scene appear under his rule, which shocked the well-informed Tai Shi Ci.
His mother lived a full life, and even took the initiative to join the local women's labor team organized by the Yellow Turban Army, and became a peripheral member of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
The two had known each other since they were in the plains, and although they sighed at the impermanence of the world when they met again, it did not prevent them from exchanging feelings while figuring out Jian Yong's intentions.
Tai Shi Ci said directly: "This matter is simple, the big leader has already given a certain authorization, and he can completely trade with Liu Yuanjun!" ”
When he asked for help, he had also spent a few days in the plains, and he knew a little about the situation there.
After joining the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, most of the information here was also disclosed to him, as one of the recent local forces, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban naturally had more detailed information to understand the situation on the plain.
Regardless of whether Liu Bei is true benevolence or a hypocrite, at least he is consistent with his words and deeds, and he is still quite tolerant of the people, and the Plains Country is also a pure land under his governance.
It's just that Liu Bei and his subordinates don't have talents who are good at governing places, even if the Plains Country is a rare pure land under his rule, but the output of the entire Plains Country is so much, it can only barely be consumed for the 300,000 army, and no more can be raised.
At present, it is a chaotic era of chaos among the princes, Liu Bei obviously does not want to be low and small, and he also wants to make a difference, so he naturally needs to expand his strength.
But looking around, the only one who can obtain enough food, grass and ordnance is the Qingzhou Yellow Turban family who suddenly changed their style......
