Chapter 37: Tianshui

looked at Sima Yi's strong planting, but it was difficult to hold it in his eyes

Heading west, along the Weishui River, leaving the Jingzhao area and entering Fufu County.

For this area, Liu Xuan is not very interested, he just sits on a horse and looks at the surrounding scenery normally every day, eats with his younger brother or Cai Tan at night, then chats, and finally meditates to refine the dragon qi in his body, and does not pay too much attention to civil matters at all.

He knew that Xun Yu would naturally do these things properly, and it was not his turn to worry about them.

Sure enough, about a month after entering Fufeng County, Xun You sorted out the situation in Fufeng County clearly, and then sent it to Liu Xuan on this day.

"It's much worse than the Jingzhao area!"

This is also expected, although Fufeng County has long been under the control of the imperial court, but because it was adjacent to Guo Ji's territory at that time, it was more focused on military deployment, and it was a bit negligent in civil affairs.

Later, after defeating Li Shu and Guo Ji, Fufeng County began to make every effort to rectify agriculture, and the imperial court also allocated a large amount of financial and material resources to support the counties.

However, although the imperial court is now rich, it is still a little difficult to support the counties of Yongliang and Yongliang with one county, so the help received by the counties is very limited.

Fufeng County is relatively close, and if it is a little farther away, you can only rely on the local county guard to solve those difficulties on your own.

"In short, although the situation in Fufeng County is much worse than that in Jingzhao District, as long as it develops slowly, civil and agricultural affairs can slowly recover, and at the same time, the people will gradually settle down!"

Because of the continuous war, the people of Fufeng County are very worried about their own safety, especially after such a big war last year, they are very worried that their homes will also be affected by the war.

Liu Xuan looked at the information that Xun You had sorted out, and at the same time thought about whether there were any deficiencies in his mind.

After reading the information, Liu Xuan found that Fufeng County really didn't have anything worth bothering about now.

Agriculture is recovering, and with the Jingzhao region once again producing good grain varieties and the establishment of the Refining Division, Liu Xuan can spread the formation implemented in the surrounding areas of Chang'an to the surrounding counties, so that Fufeng, Feng Yi and other counties will also become high-yield grain areas.

With the support of these three counties, Yongliang and the two prefectures will no longer have to worry about food. What's more, this method will not reach its own limit, and it will spread further outward over time, at that time, the entire Yongzhou will be a huge granary, and it will be no problem to feed the whole country, not to mention that it is only the land of two states?

"In this way, there is no problem in general, but it still needs time!" Liu Xuan tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, and his heart turned a few times, and suddenly it occurred to him that the grain does not necessarily have to be ripe once a year.

With special grain varieties and suitable cultivation methods, it is completely possible to achieve two crops a year, or even three crops a year.

The specific situation Liu Xuan is not very clear, but when cultivating the True Empire, they can even use immortal magic to achieve one ripening in a month, trapped in conditions and mana here, Liu Xuan may not be able to achieve that level, but two or three ripening a year can completely try.

He was thinking about it, and he wasn't ready to tell about it, but he didn't expect Xun You to open it first......

"Your Majesty has been thinking about it every day, since there is a mystic method that can ensure that the yield of grain is at a very high level, is there such a spell that can shorten the time for grain to mature?"

Xun You just thought about it in that direction because of the work he was going to do and the many jobs he was currently in contact with, but he didn't expect that his speculation was exactly what Liu Xuan wanted to do, so he was shocked Liu Xuan.

He was stunned for a moment, until Xun You felt that his idea would be too amazing, and even His Majesty couldn't accept it? Only then did he hear Liu Xuan speak: "I was also thinking about this matter, but Gongda also thought of this." ”

After a pause, he sorted out the thoughts in his head. He originally wanted to wait until he went back to Chang'an, and then let the refining department make some of the things he needed first, and then talk to Xun You about it. But since Xun You also thought of this, there was no need to hide it and wait until later.

Actually, this method does exist, but there are many problems that need to be solved if you want to do it. ”

Xun You was also happy when he heard that there was really this kind of exercise, because it proved that his thinking was not wrong, so some of the things he had comprehended these days were really feasible.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has a vague concept in his mind when he thinks about this matter in recent days, but he still needs to confirm it, and at the same time, he also needs some material cooperation. ”

Hearing Xun You say this, Liu Xuan knew that Xun You had not only thought of this, but had even explored this knowledge, if this was the case, maybe he would not have to worry about the logistics in the future, and he could leave it all to Xun You.

"After this inspection is completed, I will ask Li Su to cooperate with you in this matter after returning to Beijing, and if you need anything, just let Li Su help you. ”

It is no secret that Li Su will be promoted to be a master craftsman and be in charge of the emperor's newly formed refining department, which is no secret in this team, and Xun You, as Liu Xuan's henchman, naturally knows it clearly.

And what he wants to do really needs Li Su to cooperate, with the words of the Son of Heaven, Xun You has a spectrum in his heart.

These things, Liu Xuan is no longer thinking about agricultural matters. The grain problem has basically been solved, and it will only get better and better year by year in the future, and even more grain can be wasted at will, and in this case, grain prices will fall like a dive.

At the same time, such a large amount of grain will also ensure the initial promotion of the new currency, and when the price of food falls to the point that even ordinary people can buy a large amount and store it at home, the new currency will also be accepted by most people.

What Liu Xuan was thinking about now was the matter of this currency.

What is the currency most afraid of? Naturally, it is the impact of counterfeit coins.

The problem of counterfeit coins has been around since ancient times, and this is not a new topic. During the reign of Emperor Ling, the currency system collapsed, in addition to his own indiscriminate money, a large number of fake coins flooded the people is also one of the reasons. It's just that the situation was too chaotic at that time, and the chaos reached a certain level, and the impact of counterfeit coins was infinitely compressed to a minimum.

But now that the imperial court has recovered Yongliang, it not only solves the problem of eating for the people, but also will issue a new currency soon......

Don't think that when the world is in chaos, no one will do that speculative business. In fact, the more chaotic the world, the more there is a lack of management methods for these chaotic speculators, if Liu Xuan implements the currency in a normal way, it is very likely that there will be fake coins in a short period of time, and Liu Xuan has no way to clean up those guys.

They only need to hide in places that the imperial court can't reach, and they can go about their 'business' safely, and they don't have to be afraid of anything at all.

"Do you want to drum out the 'money detector'?"

After thinking about it, this thing is not difficult, but it is difficult to popularize at the beginning, and if you want to get this kind of thing, then you have to add a few more processes when minting coins, and do some tricks and feet in that coin.

Whether it is a coin or a 'money detector', Liu Xuan has to successfully set up the refining department first, and at the same time, considering this problem, Liu Xuan asked Xun You to put aside the problem of coins for the time being, and first make every effort to solve the problem of food.

Anyway, for now, there is no hurry to implement the coin, and bartering is not a big deal at the moment, so let's deal with it for the time being.

did not stop in Fufeng County, and the team came to Tianshui County in the shortest time.

Tianshui County is adjacent to Fufeng, sitting in Longxi, north is Guangwei County, and Guangwei County is Jincheng to the north...... That's Ma Teng's territory.

This time he went on a tour, he would definitely not go to Liangzhou, don't look at Ma Teng has already shown his loyalty to the imperial court, but the forces in Liangzhou are complicated, and there are many foreign races, before he really controls this area, the emperor should not go easily.

Liu Xuan's plan this time was to go out of Chang'an, pass Fufeng, then enter Tianshui and then go to Longxi, then turn from Longxi to Guangwei, from Guangwei to settle down and then return to Fufeng and finally return to Chang'an.

Xinping, Beidi, Feng Yi and other armies would not go, because these places were too close to the Xiongnu's sphere of influence, and the court bigwigs did not think it was safe enough. In fact, they didn't even want the emperor to go to settle down, because the place was adjacent to the area currently occupied by the Xiongnu, and if they caught up with the Xiongnu to plunder south, maybe something would happen.

Liu Xuan just smiled casually at this, while Cao Cao and Lu Bu secretly said: "If the Huns really came to loot at this time, it would be really bad luck......

Liu Xuan didn't know what Cao Cao and Lu Bu were thinking, and if he knew, he would definitely agree with it. But for now, he didn't have to think about the Huns.

Tianshui County is in the northwest, although it is not a border, but there are also some Qiang people in the territory.

It's just that these Qiang people have been semi-Sinicized and are accustomed to the way of life of the Han people, although they still retain some habits, but they are also on the premise that they do not conflict with the existing living habits.

In comparison, the Qiang people living in Longxi and Liangzhou are the real alien races, but compared with the Qiang people living further west, they are more kind and easy to contact.

The Qiang people living further west are genuine, completely alien in terms of culture and biochemical habits, and although they are quite friendly with the Han Dynasty at present, if they see that the Han Dynasty is weak, they will not rush in and plunder politely.

At the same time, the Qiang people living in Xiliang and Longxi will be the best guides and pioneers for these guys, but some of the Qiang people living in Tianshui County are likely to rebel with the local Han people This part is worth cultivating, and the rest should be careful to beware.

While listening to Xun You's introduction to the situation in the northwest, Liu Xuan met the current Taishou Man Boning of Tianshui County, and then under the introduction of Man Chong, he learned what he did after taking office.

Under the detailed introduction of Man Pet, Liu Xuan learned that the situation in Tianshui County was not so good, and one of the very troublesome problems was the various alien races in Tianshui County. (To be continued)
