Chapter Ninety-Six: Spring

Li Yue can let go of some of the financial power and governance power, but the military power, personnel appointment and dismissal power, and ideology are firmly grasped in his hands.

There is a cloud in the art of war, and those who want the same up and down win.

If you want to govern it, you must first govern people's hearts, and only then can you be invincible.

Several master books are also busy, and their feet do not touch the ground.

Wei Shan deals with all kinds of disputes on the mountain, ranging from land disputes to trivial matters.

Zhou Lian is as busy as a big housekeeper, and a naturalization is enough for him to be busy, as well as to take and sell illicit salt, and prepare for the upcoming spring ploughing.

Xu Cheng and Liang Xiao guarded Bishui Fort and one person guarded Weishui Fort, one south and one north.

Cao Kan guarded Gong County in the northwest, built a barrier to the north of Heiyun Mountain, and also managed the coal mine.

Tsukihime led the women of the mountain to weave straw clothes, straw sandals, straw mats, and so on.

Even Xin Cang was not idle, and the enlightenment on the mountain was handed over to him.

It's busy, but it's full of life.

Everyone is doing their best for the growth of Black Cloud Mountain.

The ice and snow melt, and spring returns to the earth.

According to Li Yue's instructions, Zhang Shengye encroached on the small mouth, and got back more than 200 healthy horses, and the cavalry troops of Heiyun Mountain were basically formed, and there were no war horses, so they used donkeys and mules to make do.

Under Shi Hu's harsh punishment, there were many wild beasts in the hunting ground.

Liangzhou was defeated, and Shi Hu had no intention of hunting, so he gradually neglected management, and such a large hunting ground could not be managed.

This age is full of wild beasts.

The population of the Central Plains is withered, thousands of miles are uninhabited, there are no man's land everywhere, and all kinds of wild beasts are rampant.

The scouts reaped greatly, and cartloads of prey were pulled up the mountain.

Juvenile beasts are kept in captivity in the West Mountains, adult beasts are slaughtered, and their furs are collected by cobblers for leather and tanning.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chinese ancestors already had tanning skills, and in the Warring States Period, they would use natural miscanthus and alum to tann leather.

The busy days fly by, and winter goes to spring in a blink of an eye.

On the day of late spring, the festival of Shangsi, and the cultivation of things.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the importance of the Shangwei Festival was not under Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, men and women go on a spring outing, feast and drink near the water, and gather with friends.

However, Heiyun Mountain does not have such leisure and elegance.

In order not to reveal the truth on the mountain, Li Yue took entry and exit control measures, and it was strictly forbidden to go down the mountain at will, so he could only simply worship his ancestors on the mountain.

The plan of the year lies in the spring.

Whether Heiyun Mountain can survive in this troubled era depends on this year's spring ploughing.

All the affairs on the mountain were put down first, all men, women and children went down the mountain, the canals were reopened, the barren fields were tidied up, thatched huts were built between the ridges, and earthen stoves were laid.

Last year's floods destroyed large areas of land upstream of the fort.

Now that the water has long receded, the fields have been nourished by silt, and they have become more fertile, and with a little tidying, they will get more than 13,000 acres of fertile land.

In the naturally formed pond weirs, the fat fish with one tail often cross the surface of the water and devour the catkins and grass seeds that float in the wind.

Li Yue has seen patches of floating corpses in the water, and he has a psychological shadow on the fish.

But the people on the mountain did not have any estimate, and carried back basket by basket and boiled it into fish soup to drink.

At that time, there were far more fields than these fields, and there were many fields upstream.

However, the benefits cannot be fully occupied, and the more than 6,000 acres of fertile land near the Zheng family's Liunanbao have all been given to the Zheng family.

This move also won the favor of the Zheng family, and they also sent some seeds and iron ploughs, as well as more than 300 jars of pickles and meat dumplings.

Pickles are similar to pickles in later generations, and meat is boiled, minced, sprinkled with salt, sealed and pickled.

Li Yue looked at the black color and smelled a strange smell, which was really unappetizing.

Han Xu, the commander of Jingxian County, sent someone to ask for support.

A plague has greatly damaged the vitality of Jingxian County, and the young and strong people who farm cannot be gathered, and the ploughing cattle have not escaped the plague.

Li Yue transferred 1,000 middle base camps over.

People come and go, and everyone is familiar with each other.

After a spring rain, the long-awaited spring ploughing begins.

Li Yue originally wanted to perform twice to motivate and boost morale, but when he went to the field, he realized that it was not necessary at all.

Everybody is going to die.

As soon as the sky was bright, people woke up, consciously picked up the hoe, in addition to eating and drinking, they were busy until it was dark and could not see, and then reluctantly left.

Even children as young as five or six years old gather firewood in groups to help cook porridge.

In the middle of the night, there are also night patrols to prevent wild boars and birds from pecking at the seeds.

The next day was still like this, without the slightest slack, and Li Yue was shocked by his diligence.

It also shows their desire for a stable life.

It is a pity that in the long river of history, it is either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and it is impossible to cultivate diligently.

Looking at the backs of the toilers, Li Yue suddenly felt that the rise of Heiyun Mountain was not difficult.

Just provide a stable environment, with their hard work, they will naturally hold up a piece of the sky.

The same is true of the history of the Murong family in Liaodong.

Among the Liaodong tribes, the Murong family was not the most powerful one, and it was sandwiched between Goguryeo, Duan, and Yuwen.

Five chaotic Hua, Murong Diao's criminal and political cultivation, humble acceptance, generous treatment of scholars, set up overseas Chinese counties to settle Han people, and the northland refugees did not vote for Wang Jun and Cui Yu, who were born in the Gaomen clan, but instead took refuge in Murong Diao, and the Murong family grew.

Murong Diao also wrote thousands of words of "Family Order" to educate his children and grandchildren, and it was the Murong family that produced many talents.

Li Yue took out the prey of the scouts, heavy physical labor, and it would not work without oil and water.

He also asked the woman who cooked the porridge to make the porridge as thick as possible.

The children pulled wild vegetables in the fields, washed them, chopped them, threw them into the porridge, sprinkled them with salt, and a fragrant fragrance rose.

The pickles and meat dumplings that Li Yue couldn't look down on became supreme delicacy in their eyes, and more than 300 jars were divided in the blink of an eye.

"Mencius Yun: The sage and the people plough and eat together, and feed and rule. The general is like this, why worry about the Black Cloud Mountain? Xin Cang shook his head and said.

This old boy drilled into himself when he had time or not.

However, in the past two months, his transformation has been obvious to all, and he used to put the court on his lips when he had nothing to do.

Don't mention it now.

The things that the Sima family did are obvious to all, and they can't be washed no matter how they are washed.

"If Heiyun Mountain can rise, Xin Lao will also make a great contribution." Li Yue looked at the clear blue sky perfunctory.

Xin Cang's face was glorious, he laughed dryly, and took out a letter from his arms, "Yesterday...... There is a secret letter sent to the old place in Jiangdong......"

"Oh?" Li Yue's gaze turned back to Xin Cang's face.

Heiyun Mountain was able to defeat Zhang Yu and had already proven its worth.

Koto could not remain indifferent.

In the past, the mountain was closed for management, and the letter could not come in, but now in the spring ploughing, everyone goes down the mountain, and the fine workers in the south finally seize the opportunity.

Li Yue's hands were full of dirt, and he didn't answer the letter, it was obviously written by Jiangdong to Xin Cang, whether he looked at it or not, he would say it.

Xin Cang swallowed: "The imperial court ...... He was deeply pleased with the general's defeat of Zhang Yuzhou, the assassin of Zhao Yuzhou, and advised the general to make persistent efforts......"

Li Yue was stunned, "It's over?" ”

"That's all ......"

Li Yue took the letter, with a few words, mostly words of encouragement, but it was not sent by the imperial court, but Xie Shang, who was the general of Xizhong Lang, the fake festival, the military of the six counties of Yangzhou, and the assassin of Yuzhou.

He had been eye-to-eye with Zhang Yu before, but now that Zhang Yu has been defeated, the value of Heiyun Mountain has risen, so he naturally has to change his target.

The fame of the fake festival and the assassination history of Yuzhou made him qualified to make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of Si Yu Erzhou.

But it's too stingy, empty mouth and white teeth, a piece of white paper.

Moreover, the letter was handed to Xin Cang, obviously to test his attitude.

You can't hit a stone with an egg, and you can't make too much trouble with Jiangdong.

Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future.

Li Yue looked at Xin Cang, smiling like a fox, angler, do you know if you are not the one being fished?

"Xin Lao wrote back, saying that I, Li Yue, have the intention to kill the thief and restore the old capital, but unfortunately my strength is meager, and I have this heart but not this strength, and I hope that the court will ......support me a lot."
