Chapter 60: Zhou Budo

Of course, Shen Chen didn't know that the game he secretly laid out had actually been seen through by Liu Biao a long time ago.

It's 196 A.D., and it's not yet 12 years later, when Liu Biao has Alzheimer's disease.

As a man who dared to pacify the entire Jingzhou single-handedly, how could Liu Biao be easy to match?

The small actions that Shen Chen did secretly were actually seen by him, but they were not broken.

Because of what he did, there was no harm to Liu Biao, and even most of the benefits fell into Liu Biao's pocket.

Pie in the sky, and it's still ninety-one points. Shen Chen worked hard to get a percent.

Liu Biao didn't do anything, he got ninety percent, and everyone was happy to change it.

So he is also willing to turn a blind eye, and at some point, he will also help, something convenient, why not do it?

Shinno Prefecture recently changed its prefectural order.

The original county commander Wang Yi was transferred by Zhang Xiu to Nanyang County Cheng because of his outstanding political achievements, and was responsible for helping him manage the surrounding cities.

The new county commander is Deng Mao, the patriarch of the Deng clan of Huangmen Pavilion.

It stands to reason that Deng Mao himself is in Xinye, which should have violated the Three Mutual Law, and locals can't be local officials.

But the problem is that Deng Mao is not a local.

He is a native of Xuzhou.

The place of residence in the Han Dynasty does not mean that where you live, you are counted as a person, but where you were born.

Take the Ganning family as an example.

It is recorded in the "Historical Records" that Gan Ning's ancestor was Gan Mao and was a Cai person from Huainan, and Gan Mao's descendants moved to Nanyang, and after a few generations they became Nanyang people.

According to the records of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", the Gan Ning family did not know which ancestor migrated to Ba County, Yizhou, and after a few generations, they became Ba County people again, and Nanyang became the ancestral land of the Gan family.

When Gan Ning went to Eastern Wu, and after several generations of reproduction, after Gan Ning's great-grandson Gan Zhuo's generation, the "Book of Jin" introduced him to the people of Danyang, Jiangdong, and the ancestral land became Ba County.

Therefore, the Huangmenting Deng Shen Er clan can only be regarded as a foreign population at present, and it will take a few decades and two or three generations to reproduce before they can move their household registration.

Just like when they moved from the ancestral land of Nanyang to Xuzhou, after two or three generations, they became Xuzhou Xiangben people.

SO THIS BECOMES AN EXTREMELY RARE BUG.

That is, the locals who are recognized by the local people, and in fact, the spiritual locals of the non-locals have become the local county magistrates.

It sounds tongue-twisting, but that's it.

Now the Deng family moved to Xuzhou more than 70 years ago, and the household registration became Xuzhou people, and after returning, they were appointed as Xinye officials, and they are inextricably linked with the local Deng family in Xinye.

Then Deng Mao became the county commander, and united with the local Deng clan Deng Qi and others to control the power of the entire county, which can be described as covering the sky with one hand, making the Huangmenting Deng family become a new wild and powerful overnight.

However, the people of Xinye definitely have no aversion to the rise of the Deng clan in Huangmen Pavilion.

Because in the past two years, the Huangmenting Deng clan has recruited displaced people, built canals, reclaimed fields, planted mulberry forests, and excavated ponds, building the original wasteland into a paradise.

They also used blast furnaces and caves to make iron and porcelain, and sold them to Jingzhou, Jiangdong and Yizhou through the big merchants of Xiangyang and Zhou Lin.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world.

After having money and food, the Huangmenting Deng family began to help the people of the surrounding townships and pavilions in large numbers, helping them avoid military disasters, reclaiming farmland, building canals and ponds, and so on.

Although Deng Hong himself held an official position in the state capital, he could often go to various places in Nanyang to deal with government affairs on Liu Biao's orders.

He patrolled the soil and fields, chiseled the benefits of irrigation, and the japonica rice was abundant, such as Xinye Huyang and other places, and often came back to persuade farmers to teach mulberry, and occasionally invented some new agricultural tools to help the people develop.

All this made the Huangmen Pavilion Deng clan fall into a good reputation around Xinye.

When Zhang Xiu attacked Nanyang, and a large number of yellow scarves gathered in Nanyang, hundreds of people in Huyang, Chaoyang, and Xinye fled to the manor of the Deng family in Huangmen Pavilion to hide.

Although it was only two false alarms, in a short period of time, the Deng Manor was able to gather tens of thousands of people, which can know the appeal of the Deng family now.

When the war breaks out again in Nanyang in the future, I am afraid that there will be more people who come to attach to it.

This is called fame.

Today, Huangmenting has incorporated the surrounding 20 square kilometers of land into its territory, built a city-like manor, and dug dense tunnels, fortresses and fortifications in the back hills.

They even found a craftsman in Jingzhou who was once a subordinate of the master craftsman, who could make siege and defense equipment, and dug it up with a lot of money to create a lot of equipment.

In terms of population, Huangmenting has also been greatly developed, when it first migrated, there were only about 1,000 people, and later it was widely accepted and increased to more than 2,000 people.

Now, half a year later, a large number of yellow scarves who have descended the mountain have been abused for personal gain and placed in Huangmen Pavilion, and the registered population has already exceeded 8,000.

It also owns more than 50,000 acres of land, and also employs a large number of field slaves and apprentices from the surrounding townships and counties.

The current permanent population of the entire Huangmen Pavilion has exceeded 10,000, and in a few years, I am afraid that it will be able to cast the city and become a lower county.

And although Liu Biao knew what they were doing, Liu Biao chose to turn a blind eye.

There was not even any accountability for contraband such as Deng's instruments, weapons, bows and arrows.

The reason is that Huangmenting has benefited, but he has received more benefits.

The weight of light grain, grass, and dingkou is an astronomical amount.

And at that time, the wealthy families were like this, and everything was based on the interests of the family.

While Deng Hong is seeking benefits for Jingzhou, it is not a big problem for his family to seek a little benefits.

If he thinks about Jingzhou with both sleeves and a clean breeze, Liu Biao may have to suspect that he has other plans.

In fact, to a certain extent, Liu Biao also supports Deng Hong in doing this.

Because the reason why Huangmenting can develop by leaps and bounds now has nothing to do with the villagers' efforts to create wealth.

It is completely because Deng Hong is an official in the state capital and seeks benefits for himself in this Zhang embroidery and yellow scarf.

If it weren't for Deng Hong's great achievements, he would not have been in charge of the resettlement work.

If it weren't for his proposal to Liu Biao to annex the Yellow Turban remnants around Nanyang, Nanyang would not have suddenly popped up so many people.

Therefore, in the final analysis, what is done in blast furnace caves to make a fortune, and what is engaged in manure technology to increase grain production, can only be said to be a byproduct.

Real development depends on power, and only when we have power can we mobilize a lot of resources from the outside world to fill it.

Otherwise, relying on the 1,000 people of Huangmenting alone, even if there are blast furnace caves and manure technology, how much porcelain, ironware and grain can be produced?

So where does Deng Hong's power come from?

Isn't it Liu Biao?

Therefore, Deng Hong's expansion of his clan was completely within Liu Biao's acquiescence.

At least in Liu Biao's opinion.

He eats meat, and Deng drinks some soup, which is understandable.

In May, the bustling Nanyang Rebellion came to an end, and Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao all benefited, even if it was the Yellow Turban Army, most of them were willing to come down the mountain.

This turmoil was not big, but the harvest was full, which made Cao Cao, who was far away in Yingchuan, regret that he could not get benefits.

After Shen Chen dominated all this behind his back, he hid his merit and fame and returned to Xiangyang to continue his studies.

In addition to going to the academy, he also occasionally went to Yuliangzhou to consult Pang Degong.

His knowledge grew day by day, and the name of a prodigy spread throughout Jingzhou.

However, he regretted that he had never seen Pang Tong from beginning to end, because Pang Tong went to Yingchuan to study with Sima Hui last year, and he didn't know when he would come back.

On May 12, Shen Chen went to Yuliangzhou the day before yesterday to ask Pang Degong about an academic question, yesterday he went to Longzhong to discuss knowledge with Zhuge Liang, and after staying in Longzhong for one night, he planned to return to the academy today.

It was the middle of summer, the sound of the sound, the blazing sun shining on the earth, the path leading to the academy was mottled with shade, the big trees on both sides were towering, and the branches were thick and drooping.

The carriage drove slowly on the path, because the road was quite smooth, Shen Chen was reading a book in the car. At that time, the carriages were not enclosed, but an umbrella was erected on all sides.

Behind him, he suddenly heard someone calling him: "Is it Shen Chen?" ”

Shen Chen turned his head and saw that there was an extra carriage in the rear, the people in the car were big and small, the big one he knew, it was Liu Biao's don't drive Liu Xian, he took the old Xinye from Huangmenting Township to help them introduce Wang Yi.

Last year, Liu Xian was still in Xiangyang and was quite friendly with Deng Hong, but in the second half of the year, Lingling had something at home, so he asked Liu Biao for leave, and now he hasn't seen him for more than half a year.

Seeing that it was him, Shen Chen asked the coachman to stop, get off the station and wait on the side of the road.

After a while, Liu Xian's carriage also stopped on the side of the road, and Shen Chen arched his hand to him and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Shizong, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my uncle often misses Mr. ”

Liu Xian said: "My brother-in-law died of illness, and my sister and nephew were lonely, so I had to go back to Lingling to deal with family affairs, and I only came back a few days ago. Your uncle wrote to me yesterday and asked me to go to Yin County to help him deal with the affairs of Tuntian, and I happen to meet you here today. ”

Shen Chen noticed that there was a child about four or five years old looking at him with curious eyes in Liu Xian's carriage, so he arched his hand and said, "Yes, Uncle Ancestor also misses Mr. Shizong too much, Mr. has been gone for half a year, and Uncle Ancestor is often in other places. ”

"Huh."

Liu Xian said with a smile: "It's okay, now that I come back, there will always be a time to meet." Ah Chen, this is my nephew, his name is Zhou Budo, it turns out that I wanted him to study in Lingling from Liu Ba, but he didn't want to accept it, you have been in the academy for a long time, and your knowledge is also very good, I just want to entrust him to you. ”

Shen Chen actually didn't know Zhou Budo, and unlike many people in later generations who specialized in studying history, he memorized "Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han" backwards.

It's just that I used to watch the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", plus various Three Kingdoms games, some Three Kingdoms jokes and videos on the Internet, and I have a preliminary understanding of the important figures of the Three Kingdoms, probably the historical development.

Like the early major princes and the five tiger generals, the five good generals, the five great strategists of Cao Cao, and the young Lin Mound Tiger of the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, he all knew it.

But if he wants him to tell him what main officials were in the later period of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, in addition to Jiang Wei, Ma Dai, Wei Yan, Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao, what other senior generals were in the later period of the Shu Kingdom, he was completely unclear.

So he didn't know that this was a famous prodigy of the Three Kingdoms, but when he saw that the child was pink, clever and cute, he immediately liked it very much, so he smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, there is no doubt that no one in the academy will dare to bully him." ”

Except for me.

He added another sentence in his heart.

Liu Xian smiled: "Then I'll be relieved." ”
