Chapter 167: The Son of Heaven wants to give us a good name for nothing, and we can't refuse
"Liu Bei, the general of the left wing, is the general of the chariot cavalry, and the leader of Zongzheng, moves the Marquis of Wuchang, and changes the name of Xiakou County to Wuchang, with 5,000 households."
"General Zhuge Jin of Fubo, feudal princes (county marquis of the counties), 3,000 households."
"Partial general Guan Yu, meritorious service in breaking Hefei and Shouchun, general Annan, Taishou in Jiujiang, marquis of Shou Pavilion in Han, and 500 households in Shiyi."
"Folded Chong Captain Zhang Fei, expanded Liyang, beheaded Liu Xun, promoted to general, and sealed the capital Pavilion Marquis."
"Zhao Yun, the commander of Guangling, broke the Huai Tomb, descended to righteousness, beheaded Ji Ling, promoted to the general of the army, and sealed the capital pavilion marquis."
"Praise the military captain Tai Shici, break Shucheng and Lu'an, promote the general of the praise army, and seal the internal marquis."
"Yuzhang Commander Gan Ning, break the mouth of Anhui and Anhui City, behead Chen Lan, promote the general of the army, and seal the Neihou."
After Liu Bei greeted Pei Mao, he entered Wuhu City with some red tape, and set up an incense case honor guard in General Zuo's mansion.
Everything was ready to stop, Pei Mao finally took out the imperial court's decree to reward the generals and read it out in public, and he stopped every word, which was very solemn.
Liu Bei and the others were respectful throughout the whole process, and they didn't make a sound at all. After Pei Mao finished reading it all, Liu Bei lowered his head and stepped forward in small steps, raised his hand over the top, took the holy decree, and said that he was a minister.
Wuhu is close to the Yangtze River, backed by the Huangshan Mountains in southern Anhui, rough meat is rare in the year of famine, and it is replaced by fresh game from the river.
Zhuge Liang explained sloppily: "You have also thought that maybe before the wheat harvest in July next year, you can replant a season of beans, although the yield is low, but it can fertilize the field and increase the yield of winter wheat." In addition, you have not envisioned the method of rice and wheat rotation and two seasons a year, but it has not yet been tried, and I am afraid that the growth period is enough, so you can only try it slowly, and you dare to do it. ”
If this had been the case earlier, why would there have been a calamity in the heavens in the past that caused the people to be hungry and breed yellow turbans? If this law is really achieved in the future, with the holy virtue of His Majesty, how can he have to recruit Zhuge Changshi to retire from Beijing as a small Sinon? At that time, the general of the chariot cavalry will want to cut love. ”
Ke Cecheng is the only one of the eight Taishou who has been promoted to the title, and he is a county marquis, and he can only mean it a little bit if he has any credit.
That's a prestige for yourself!
Instead, there are only Yangtze River knives, sturgeon fish several feet long, and no mandarin fish and snakehead fish.
Liu Xie didn't seem to understand it, but just that idea shocked me: "There is no magic method in the sky to plant rice and wheat twice in a year?" Is this the ability to feed a small number of people?
When Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin saw Liu Xie's expression, they didn't have any other feelings, for fear of self-defeating, Zhuge Liang, who was still a prophet at the forefront, hinted with his eyes that Ke Ce and the seventh brother were worried.
The civil officials on Guan Yu's account have not been promoted to the rank of reward at most, and they are at most low-level civil officials at the level of a county's Taishou, so it is impossible to be mentioned by the holy decree. The subordinate officials above the rank of Taishou and who were later requisitioned by Guan Yu's Right General's Mansion or Yangzhou Pastoral Mansion are worthy of being mentioned by the Holy Decree.
Ke Ce's account is now not the Taishou who has not been canonized by the imperial court, nor is it Danyang Taishou Zhuge Liang, Donghai Taishou Mizhu, and Yuzhang Taishou Zhuge Xuan.
As for Dong Cheng and Tai Shici, our mentality is more emotional, Tai Shici's promotion is the highest, but the credit is also small, if you want to run in from Liu Xuan. Dong Cheng is basic official position is too high, and now I am very satisfied with the result.
I'm afraid that others will say behind their backs, "He is a person who lost Xuzhou and caused the lord to be ruined for two years, and he has no face to call the lord brother?" ”
Although Ke Ce and Ke Cecheng on the side knew why Zhuge Liang was so sure, but for the sake of Zhuge Liang's historical credit, we still had conditional doubts, and then followed Liu Xie's words before, a feast was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and everyone on Guan Yu's account showed loyalty and righteousness, and Liu Xie only needed to state truthfully.
And the results of that observation will not be seen until April next year, before the autumn harvest of rice, and that delay will be another year.
The rest of Zhuge Jin, Zhao Yun and others have been mentioned by the holy decree, but the bad thing is that Ke Ce has become a general of the chariot and cavalry, and I can't recruit a long history, join the army, be the main bookkeeper, and govern the middle office.
Although no one has chewed their tongues so much under the facts, it's just that Lu Su is ashamed of his heart, but today he finally got rid of that heart disease.
At this point, the matter of the official being rewarded has come to an end, and of course Guan Yu will hold a banquet to entertain Liu Xie.
Even if I gave each of the people two fields, one for wheat in winter and summer, and one for rice in spring and autumn, there would not be enough barren fields for me to bring disaster.
Guan Yu was slightly speechless for a while, knowing which step and to what extent the secrets of rice-wheat rotation and rice planting should be revealed, and he subconsciously touched his beard for a while.
Liu Xie asked along the way: "As far as you know, the north wheat and the south rice, the rice planting boy in the land of Huainan, why is it changed to planting wheat now?" ”
It's just that Chen Qun did Yuzhou Assassin Shi after Ke Ce lost Xuzhou, and he was born badly, so I accept it for the imperial court.
Calculating the time, as long as Zhuge Liang delays it a little longer, even if Cao Cao gives me an edict and conquers Zhuge Jin's "Shennong's work" to withdraw from Beijing, it can be said that it is Ke Ce's chaotic life, and it can't be a resignation from Beijing with an edict.
The little brother's current power has not exceeded when he was unable to take Xuzhou! Although it claimed to have led Xuzhou at the beginning, it actually controlled the eight counties of Pengcheng, Shangpi and Donghai, and now it has seven counties, and the population, land, soldiers and horses have exceeded the peak of the year.
With such a small promotion area, it is possible to hide from the imperial court envoys, and no matter which way Ke Ce crosses, he will see a vast number of wheat seedling fields. So that leak really has to be plugged.
Liu Xie listened to Guan Yu's modest words, suddenly remembered something, and took the initiative to ask: "The general of the Che Cavalry is too modest, a certain generation of Tianxun hunting edicts, and he has also been through the seven directions for a long time.
Among the remaining eight generals, the most proud is naturally Gan Ning, last year, because of the need for secrecy, I gave the credit for the Spring Valley Water Battle to Pei Mao in the open, so that I stayed in the realm of "Du Wei Xiao Perfection" for a year, and now I finally skipped the captain and went directly to the general.
After Liu Xie raised his chopsticks, he couldn't help but sigh: "The land on the surface of the river, although the land is vast and sparsely populated, but it is better than the abundant products, no wonder Yuan rebelled against the tyranny, and the people can still survive with fruit clams." Now that the rebellion is gone, there is no general in Huaiyang, presumably it will be a few years, and the people must be like it. ”
In the small environment of Jian'an's eight years, although the official position has not been depreciated wave after wave, even if it is a general at the level of Qiping and Qi'an, it will only be awarded to a big prince, or an important military general directly under the jurisdiction of the Xudu court.
And before Guan Yu listened to Ke Cecheng's expression, his expression was not a little relieved, and he was not a little apprehensive, he felt that it was more appropriate to say that, and he must let me say it myself, I basically have a worse choice, and the question of the court angel can always be completely answered.
From then on, Lu Su finally couldn't call "little brother" in the back of the people, when he was the most aggrieved, Lu Su only dared to shout little brother in private occasions where there were only Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao Zhuge and few people, once I arrived at the occasion when there were few people, I had to hold back, and often even changed my mouth to call the lord against my will, not that I felt that I had a face to see people.
The first half of the sentence was said to Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin hurriedly got up and was modest: "A little nonsense, I haven't tried the clue yet, how dare I praise it." ”
Ke Ce also couldn't help but feel some emotion: Cao Sikong seems to value himself in general, and he has been promoted many times, and his attitude towards himself is not the same as that of the other generals around the little brother...... It's a pity that Cao Sikong's recent signs of bullying the monarch are becoming more and more obvious, and he just killed Zhao Yilang, who suggested that the emperor should be in charge of the government a while ago.
There was only no Ke Cecheng in the field, and it was very vague: Ke Ce wanted to help my seventh brother become famous, and he was ruined, anyway, now that the results are still out, it is possible to blow Ke Cecheng's cow in the Xudu Imperial Court immediately, and we have to observe.
Who made me a northerner, I have been an official in Hedong and Chang'an, for me, Xu Du is not counted in the south. Now it is the first time to come to the south of the Yangtze River, and there are few things that Liu Xie has never seen.
And under today's banquet, that kind of small fish seems to be unplaced on every table and every case, and it is a rare thing.
But I am sure that the people in the riverside areas of Huaibei can really learn that if the land of Xiaohan can feed less in the future, it will be more populous. It is certain that the Hanshui basin can also learn, and in the long run, it will be even worse for the country.
……
In addition, there is a Guangling Taishou Chen Deng, who is still undercover here in Lu Bu, and he has been slowly undercover to the seventh leader of the camp, so he is naturally among the rewards.
Rao is Liu Xie has not been treated by Zhuge Jin when he was in Hefei, and when he saw the pomp and circumstance of Guan Yu's banquet, he was still surprised.
Guan Yu: "Pei Gong praised it, it was too difficult to harvest and the people's livelihood withered, so I supplemented it with fishing wood." Can Zhiye not starve, his wish is enough, how dare he ask for the rest! ”
What's more, Guan Yu also knows that that kind of technology is too northern to learn, even if there is no rice transplanting technology in the north, the growth period of crops will also come and rotate in two seasons.
The generals in the hands of the local princes of Lizhen were added to Qi'an by the imperial court, and there was absolutely no one after that. Although Qi'an is not the highest level in the "Seven Expeditions, Seven Towns, Seven Levels and Seven An", it is also a qualitative breakthrough.
As for the delicacies of the mountains, there is less entertainment such as deer, roe deer, and muntjac.
The day after tomorrow, passing through Hefei, between the fields, in the cold winter season, new wheat seedlings are planted, just neat. It took two months for Yuan to be forced away, and he was able to step up his persuasion of farmers to such an extent, although the ancient officials were able to do this - I heard that it was all the good governance of Zhuge Changshi, but there was no such thing? ”
Ke Ce didn't care about Zhuge Jin's modesty, and I decided to report to the emperor all the new things that happened in Lujiang, Sijiang, and Guangling before I went back.
Zhao Yun's qualifications are too shallow, Sun Qian and Jian Yong are talents in local governance, and Guan Yu has to stay in the shogunate for another purpose.
When the time comes, it will be certain that history will be able to follow the original inertia, and Xu Tian's hunting in the autumn of the seventh year of Jian'an will begin. Cao Cao was bullied by Zhang Fei when he was hunting in Xu Tian, and he should have given Liu Bei an edict long ago before going back.
Now Guan Yu has attacked two more counties, Sijiang County does not have Pei Mao as the Taishou, and his military generals are qualified to be the Taishou, but they are only selected from outside the civil officials, and finally Chen Qun is the Taishou of Lujiang.
At that time, very few northerners had seen sturgeon or guinea fish that were several feet long or even close to a foot long. In Liu Xie's impression, the two-foot-long Yellow River carp and small catfish are not the growth limit of fish.
That's not a reputation picked up for nothing, the Son of Heaven edicted him as a low official, and he went because the Son of Heaven was held hostage by traitors, which was a bad thing to delay his fame in the sky.
The Lujiang River and the Sijiang River are in dilapidation, and the surplus grain of the people is about to run out, and the general of the Che Cavalry is afraid that the local people will survive the green and yellow season from July to April next year, so he would rather reduce the output some, but also let the people slow down and have no harvest. ”
The rest of the generals, Lu Su is relieved, my sense of crisis in those two years was very weak, although I also found an opportunity to ask Mr. Ziyu to give me a chance to make meritorious contributions, and hit Chuxian and other places, but after all, it was enough to wash away the shame of Xuzhou, who lost my little brother after two and a half years.
Before Liu Xie heard it, he felt that it was very reasonable, but he didn't regret it: "So between July and April next year, before the midsummer wheat harvest, the fields will be barren?" Isn't it a pity? ”
Zhuge Liang, who was bad next to him, reacted slowly, and took over the conversation with a smile, and said to Liu Xieming: "Let Pei Gong see a smile, on the account of the general of the chariot and cavalry, there is not much northern civil and military, I have known the northern winter wheat for a long time, and it can be planted in forty months, and it can be harvested in early July of the next year." If spring rice is planted, it needs to be planted in July of the following year and harvested in autumn at the end of April.
(Note: In history, Liu Bei's edict broke out in the early summer of the seventh year of Jian'an, but its love edict was really given to me by Ke Ce, and it may have been given to it in the winter of the seventh year of Jian'an, because Ke Ce was respected by Zhang Fei in the autumn of that year, and it should have happened at this time.) It's just that Liu Bei was found out after covering his subordinates for more than half a year. )
Ke Ce nodded: "The affairs of Lujiang and Sijiang Tuntian are indeed all handled by Kong Ming, and Pei Gong praised it." ”
Zhuge Jin's "Long History of the Right General" has become "Long History of the Che Cavalry General", which is also a big promotion, and in the same way, Zhao Yun has also become the "Che Cavalry General's Mansion Dong Cao Peng".
With Ke Ze's cautious attitude, I must have done enough experiments to ensure the survival rate, and if it would be rashly promoted in a small area, it would also harm the people. And that kind of technology is also used by Zhang Fei for the time being, because Zhang Fei's territory has not yet become "vast and sparsely populated", and the population of perennial conquests has dropped slightly.
Wuhu is hundreds of miles away from the sea than Guangling, and the Yangtze River is fishing for saltwater fish, and you can see sea bass and Songjiang sea bass under the banquet.
The generals who were mentioned were naturally a little excited. Especially Guan Yu, who was actually promoted to General Annan, made his beard tremble a little. After all, this is an official position given by Emperor Han, and the gold content is extraordinary, even if Guan Yu doesn't care much about interests, he also cares about reputation.
Ke Cecheng said the concept of rice and wheat rotation planting, but all the technical details were not disclosed, the most critical "after pulling and transplanting seedlings, we must store water and soak the land to ensure that the muddy ground is soft enough, and plugging and pulling will hurt the roots of rice seedlings" As long as you know, if you talk about pulling out seedlings many times, you will directly pull out the roots and become a negative teaching material outside the idiom of "pulling seedlings to grow".
At that time, everyone knew that if the yield per mu of barley was higher than that of rice, it could be about 20% higher. Where rice can be grown in the south, the fields are wasted under barley, and it is reasonable for a discerning person to see it.
The killing of Liu Xun, a young general of the Yuan Army, was finally a small achievement, and it could not be compared with Zilong's fight with Yicheng and the killing of Ji Ling. After all, Ke Ce's initial official position was lower than Ke Ce, and Dong Cheng also belonged to the existence of leaving the team and returning home for two or eight years, and he didn't start at the beginning, and finally Lu Su's official position was temporarily lower than Ke Ce.
That time it was the imperial court envoy who entered the country, and it was also bad to let the other party inspect. This year's winter wheat promotion area is very small, covering almost one or two counties, which is at most 10 times smaller than last year's one or two counties.
