Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1306
Privy Council.

Huang Zhong and Hu Zhao sat opposite each other.

"Do you really want to send troops to the north?"

Huang Zhong hesitated.

Recently, military affairs are very heavy, especially the rectification of the army, which has exposed too many problems. Although the Mu army is a strong army, a strong army cannot be raised casually.

In order to support this army of herdsmen, at least half of the annual finances of the Minghou Mansion were spent, which already made Zhaoming Pavilion have an opinion on the large expenditure of the military.

Although it is a troubled time, the army is the most important cornerstone to ensure the regime of the Minghou Mansion.

But so much money has been thrown down every year.

Failure to see results will also dissatisfy the people in the Political Affairs Hall.

Military expenditures, military salaries, pensions, armament replacement, ordnance building, all kinds of things, there are many.

With such a huge expenditure.

We need to see a more elite army.

Many things can be ignored during a war. After all, you are fighting bloody battles. After fighting, many small things can be ignored, and even military discipline can be relaxed.

But after calming down, during the big rectification, many things were directly exposed to the eyes.

Although Huang Zhong has the courage to be invincible.

He is also the number one warrior of the Mu army.

But for this aspect, his ability is really not decisive, relying on people like Xi Zhicai Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, Zhao Wei, and Li Yan can barely hold on to the situation.

But now, Zhang Liao went to Xiazhou to supervise the battle in Jiangdong, and Xi Zhicai went north to Yongzhou and stationed in Tongguan. Only Chen Gong and Zhao Wei talked about their personal support, which made him feel more pressured.

Privy envoy, this position is not easy to sit at all, if he is sent to the front line to fight, maybe he will be happier.

"My lord has already made a decision, so there is no need to think about it!" Hu Zhao said, "Two of the five battalions must be mobilized to go north. Now I just hope that the Privy Council will come up with a plan for mobilizing troops as soon as possible. Troops are precious, and we can't wait. !"

"War Tiger Battalion, Cavalry Battalion!"

Huang Zhong is also a decisive person, he thought for a while, and said: "I will immediately send a message to Lei Hu and Pang Xi, ordering them to pack up their military affairs as soon as possible, and go north to Yongzhou within three days!"

..............................

For the whole army, the transfer of the Mu army caused some disturbances.

less than a day.

Li Yan ran to Mujing and complained: "My lord, the Zhanhu Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion have not yet completed their reorganization. Although the formation and weapons are all correct, the matter of arranging instructors has not yet been completed, so let them go north. , it will be difficult to arrange for them in the future!"

"Since you know it won't work, then act faster!"

Mu Jing said very directly: "There are still two days before going north, you make arrangements first, as for how to get in harmoniously, that's up to you, I can't control that!"

"My lord, you can't let it go like this!" Li Yan had a look of misery on his face. The Ideological and Political Department didn't want to carry it himself. Since you let others carry it, you can give me some help.

"What can I do!"

Mujing and Li Yan analyzed the situation: "Now in Guanzhong in the north, there must and will be actions. Will the Privy Council miss this rare opportunity? Of course not. Even if I give the order, the whole army will not move. Zhicai and the others didn't agree, so I can only work hard on you, from now, until the camp is pulled out, going north, and then entering the battlefield, this period of time is still a little bit, to complete the supplement to the commander system of the two battalions!"

Li Yan had no choice but to return to the office of the Political Department, and immediately summoned his subordinates to start reforming the two battalions.

"For a trilogy, there must be an instructor to supervise the army, record the battlefield, and build the minds of the soldiers!" Li Yan came to the meeting for three hours in a row, and took out the only training class under the current ideological and political department. The elite were sent directly to the two battalions.

..............................

The Mu army's deployment of troops had some influence in the army, but it was very calm for the southwest. The war was about to ignite outside, but it was a stable scene in the southwest.

The Mu army was originally strong, but the southwest was blessed by natural dangers.

The Mu family has stayed here for many years, and there have been even wars with the outside world. There have been few wars that have affected the interior. The most dangerous one was the previous Jingzhou battle, and they were almost beaten to Yizhou.

But in the end it was blocked in Jingzhou.

Therefore, there has been no war in the Southwest for some years. Except for the recent fierce development of the New Deal, which caused some turmoil, these years have been smooth.

It is precisely because of these years of good weather and the people's living and working in peace and contentment that Mujing has the courage to implement his new policy. Otherwise, if turmoil breaks out and the people are incited to rebel twice, he would not dare to do so.

In fact, as far as the common people are concerned, as long as they are fed, there are not many things they are willing to spend their lives doing.

Have a safe day.

Not many people are willing to become bandits.

Therefore, while Mu Jing paid more attention to the battles outside, he also paid attention to the living conditions of the people under the Minghou Mansion. He even went to inspect the farmland in the suburbs himself.

"This year's rice production will be higher than in previous years, right?"

Looking at the lush rice stalks in the rice field, Mu Jing asked in a low voice.

"indeed!"

A farmer came forward and reported, saying: "This is a new seed researched by our farmer according to the idea proposed by the lord, and then in cooperation with people from the Academy of Science and Technology. Last year, the output of the experimental field increased by half a stone. The scale of planting, the current growth is still very good, as long as the weather is good, there will be a bumper harvest!"

What is Mujing's thinking?

Naturally, what he thought and learned from later generations.

Of course, Yuan Lao can't change the agricultural situation of the entire Yanhuang Land by himself, but this idea can be mentioned in advance, and there are always people who are willing to try it.

Even his generation can't change it.

There are also people who can change.

Don't wait until after 2000.

"What about sorghum?"

Mu Jing asked.

Rice, wheat, etc., after all, need to be changed step by step, and there is no rush to increase the output slowly, but sorghum, this kind of crop, is still a high-yield crop.

Of course, it cannot compare to high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.

But for now, it is enough for Southwest to eat.

"The land in Guanzhong is fertile, so it's better to plant wheat and rice. As for our southwest, the land of abundance, the water source is abundant, and the yield of rice and wheat is quite high. The key is the northwest. We plan to grow sorghum in Xiliang and Qiangzhou. If we succeed , next year will definitely be a bumper harvest year!"

"very good!"

For the officials like Nong Cao, Mu Jing valued them very much. At the beginning, he independently established a Nong Cao Yamen to better manage agriculture and increase the output of crops.

……

After returning from the fields in the suburbs, it is already the time of the setting sun, and the light of the sunset is built on the streets of Yudu City, reflecting a lifelike side.

"Meng Qi?" Mu Jing suddenly reined in his horse, looked at the prosperity of the street, and asked Ma Chao, the commander of the guards beside him, "Is Yudu, my city, considered a prosperous age?"

"There is nothing like this in the world!"

Ma Chao also reined in the reins, thought for a while, and said in a low voice.

After living in Yudu for a long time, he can feel more and more that the prosperity of Yudu is not comparable to other cities, and the vitality here can even affect him.

"Then our responsibility is to keep this prosperous world!"

Mu Jing laughed loudly, and the chariots and horses sped away.

"In life, there must always be something to pursue!"

Doesn’t Ma Chao know if he’s stayed by Mujing’s side for a long time recently, and he’s taken on some of Mujing’s sentimental and youthful air? Cracked, laughed, flicked the whip, and followed Mujing.

…………

Back in the backyard, the lights came on.

east wing.

Everyone is here today.

Zhang Ning has returned from the north.

The power of this holy woman is still quite great, Huang Shao was temporarily persuaded, and did not continue to propose resignation to Zhaoming Pavilion, and this matter was put on hold for the time being.

It also took an important step for the whole army.

Huang Shao stopped making trouble.

The other generals didn't dare to make a fuss at this time, it would be a bit tragic if Mu Jing really thought of him as the chicken who killed chickens and monkeys.

This made the whole army work extremely smooth.

"Daughter-in-law has worked hard!" At the dining table, Mu Jing licked his face, picked up a piece of meat for Zhang Ning, and said cheekily, "You have worked so hard for your husband, and your husband can only repay you with a promise of your body!"

"Skinless and faceless!"

Zhang Ning blushed at this pretty face, and glanced at Mujing.

"My family, why are you so shy!"

Mu Jing said with a smile.

"A majestic prince, the lord of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, can you have some face!" Cai Yan also disliked her husband and gave him a big hygienic eye.

"That's outside, but inside the house, I have only one identity, and I'm your husband!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "My husband also dislikes it, are you embarrassed?"

"Ha ha!"

Listening to the quarrel between them, Diao Chan and Huang Yueying also covered their mouths and laughed.

A little envious.

It's been a while since they entered the Mu family's gate. From the beginning of trepidation, their hearts have now become a little more stable. At least they won't feel the despair of tomorrow.

The environment in Mu's backyard is good.

The place is not big.

There is a feeling of freedom.

There is no high hall above the Mujing.

One wife, one wife.

And no matter Cai Yan or Zhang Ning, they are not the kind of aggressive people, which makes them less pressure, so that they will not lose their status as concubines, and Mu Jing himself is not a macho person.

Especially the kind of respect for women can make them feel some respect.

Seems like this way.

Every morning and evening, the family must eat neatly, and it also made them feel like they have integrated into this family suddenly.

"Sister Diaochan, Sister Yueying, I don't have anything to give you, these are some medicines prescribed by my sister, which will help prolong the succession of children, so I will give them to you!"

Zhang Ning is not a casual woman. Now that the two of them have started, it is a done deal. She is not a jealous person, and she understands Mujing better. One of the reasons for not taking concubines.

So she didn't want to cause trouble for Mujing, she would rather be wronged a little, and maintain the peace of the family.

After all, she knows a little better that Mujing, who is charging outside, killing decisively, stepping on blood and bones, and advancing towards the supreme position of the world's supreme, can only have a trace of warmth at home.

"Thank you sister!"

Diao Chan and Huang Yueying had heard that Zhang Ning was a sage of Qi and Huang, but delivering this thing face to face still made the two brides blush a little bit, and took the medicine bag shyly.

"Let's eat!"

Mu Jing was a little depressed, not only Cai Yan and Zhang Ning had tried the medicine Zhang Ning prepared many times, but even he himself had tried it, but he couldn't have a baby, so there was nothing he could do about it.

This is a huge problem, hence the concubinage.

But it seemed that the two women who entered the door were for breeding purposes, which made his face as thick as a city wall feel a little embarrassed.

The meal time is warm, after the meal, a few maidservants came to clear the dining table, and then Cai Yan made a pot of tea in the courtyard.

This program is also a common occurrence.

Sometimes they would chat in the courtyard, talking about many things, which would help the family harmony.

"This time going north, how did Huang Shao react?"

Mu Jing asked Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning gave Mu Jing a blank look, and said: "How can I react, I almost pointed at you and scolded me, even I scolded a share, I have forgotten my ancestors, even my own father!"

"Great virtuous teacher, that happened many years ago. What the Yellow Turban Army brought to the world, apart from turmoil, is still turmoil. It dug the foundation of the great man, but it couldn't create a new order. To put it bluntly, The Yellow Turban Army is the origin of the turmoil in the world, how many wives and families are broken up, people are displaced, and there is no peace in their homes, all thanks to the Yellow Turban Uprising!"

Mu Jing sighed, it's not that he insisted on doing this, but that the current situation is such that the name Yellow Turban has not left any good things, and it will always be disgusted by people.

"Of course I know, and Uncle Huang also understands it in his heart, but he has fought all his life for the slogan of a great virtuous teacher, and he can't let go of it!"

Zhang Ning sighed: "Just take away the yellow turban army's bugle number, those old yellow turban generals, Chen Dao of the Jingping First Army, and Lei Hu of the Zhanhu Camp, are not dissatisfied with any of them!"

"It will always pass!"

Mu Jing smiled.

The influence of the Yellow Turbans is indeed there. The Mu army itself was built from the foundation of the Yellow Turbans. Naturally, the Yellow Turban generals are indispensable. Their dissatisfaction is clear to Mu Jing, and it will not change.

At this moment, Mu Jing turned around and saw Diao Chan who had been talking very little and spent a lot of time arranging flowers, writing, making tea, and reading: "Xiu'er, do you feel wronged?"

"What does your husband say?"

Diao Chan shook her head lightly.

"I heard that Wang Situ had already found a marriage for you back then. Do you have any troubles in your heart?"

Mu Jing knew that Wang Yun had made a deal with Lu Bu in exchange for Lu Bu's betrayal. If it hadn't been for the battle in Guanzhong that allowed the Mu army to take Chang'an, Diao Chan might have been sent to Lu Bu's side.

"Husband, you should know that when Xiu'er was born in this world, the duckweed was floating around. My father said, wherever it floats, that's where it is. Now that I've settled in the Mu family, she's named Mu, so she should keep her virtue!"

Diao Chan said softly.

"Don't get me wrong, as a husband, I just hope that you can live a little more freely, and stop staying at home all day!" Mu Jing smiled, some people, some things, are fate.
