Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 661 Autumn Harvest (Updated, 615)

"It seems that Yuan Gonglu is having a hard time recently!"

The corner of Mujing's mouth raised a slight sneer: "Since the Luoyang War, princes from all over the world have risen one after another, and he is the fastest rising one. The plaque of the Four Generations and Three Dukes is still useful for anything!"

"That's natural!"

Hu Zhao said: "The No. [-] family in the world has such a huge influence, countless scholars will go to him after climbing mountains and wading rivers!"

"There are talents to rely on and prestige to rely on, so he got Yuzhou easily. Yuzhou was originally a big state in the Central Plains, and Nanyang was in his hands. It has the largest population and the most fertile land. The soldiers are strong and horses, with millions of armors, shocking the world. , majestic!"

Mu Jing chirped and said.

Thinking about it makes me a little upset.

My own father and son have struggled for so long, and fighting to death is not enough for the influence of his four generations and three princes. Up to now, there are basically no foreign talents in Hanzhong. The talents of Minghou Mansion are not cultivated by themselves. It was Mujing who was deceived and abducted.

No, even if Wudu is defeated, there will not be enough talents to support it.

"But without enough strength, he, Yuan Gonglu, can't keep this foundation!"

Hu Zhao sighed softly: "I didn't feel that much before, but I was blinded by the fame of his descendants of the fourth generation and third prince, and the elders of the Yuan family were watching, but now that he is released to be independent, he can see many things, such as For Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde and other heroes, this person is far behind in terms of overall situation, courage, and determination, let alone defeating Jiangdong, he will not be able to defend Yuzhou sooner or later!"

"His attack on Jiangdong is not going well now, and Cao Cao stabbed him in the back. Nanyang's troops are overwhelmed by us and Jingzhou. There will naturally be some problems in the situation!"

Xi Zhicai said analytically: "But the Yuan family has a deep foundation in Runan, and Yuan Jun's strength cannot be underestimated!"

"Report to my lord, we have received some top-secret news from Runan. It seems that Yuan Shu intends to mobilize the Jiangdong army to go south!" Yue Shu added, "But this news has not been confirmed!"

"Is he going to let the Jiangdong army cross the south of the Yangtze River?"

Mu Jing's eyes burst into a bright light: "This is letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

The leader of the Jiangdong Army, Sun Jian, nicknamed the Jiangdong Tiger, was basically in Jiangdong. He was always feared by Yuan Shu, and he was firmly pressed to the north. Now, does Yuan Shu plan to release this tiger?

"Isn't he afraid of losing control?" Xi Zhicai frowned.

"Jiangdong has been unable to attack for a long time, and there is another problem in Yuzhou. He is in a hurry!"

Mu Jing said in a cold voice: "The cards he can use now, besides Sun Jian, is there anyone else. At this time, for the sake of the overall situation, he must release Sun Jian!"

"Sun Wentai!"

Hu Zhao called out the name: "This person has dealt with him before, and almost stopped us on our way to the south to break through. I don't know his ability in government affairs, but on the battlefield, he is terrifying!"

"It's gold, it will shine bright after all!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and a meaningful light flickered in his eyes.

Isn't the golden scale a thing in the pool, it changes into a dragon when it meets the wind and cloud.

This fierce tiger is going to come out of the mountain after all.

"This may be good news for us!" Xi Zhicai said, "At least I won't worry that the Jiangdong Army will appear on the Jingzhou battlefield!"

"Ok!"

Mu Jing nodded: "In this way, I feel relieved to mobilize troops!"

He stood up and formally gave the order: "Now Beiwutang sends our military order, immediately send an order to Nanyang, mobilize the Violent Bear Army, Jingping Second Army, gather troops and horses, gather in Wudang, Shandu, and wait for my order!"

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai took the lead.

"Huang Zhong!"

"exist!"

"You rush to Shandu immediately. In this battle against Jingzhou, you will be the main general. I will give you the Tiger Talisman. You have the right to mobilize the Violent Bear Army and all the soldiers of the Jingping Second Army!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Huang Zhong surrendered and took the lead.

************************************************** *
The division of powers among the ministries of the Minghou Mansion was very careful, and the government orders were passed down layer by layer, with a very high efficiency. When the military order of the Beiwutang came down, the entire Minghou Mansion was like a war machine, spinning rapidly.

After the order to deploy troops, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with Mu Jing.

He has just come back from the battle, and the Minghou Mansion will not agree with him to go to Jingzhou again, and the battle of Jingzhou will not be fought so quickly, at least until the end of the year, slow down, and exchange news with Yizhou, maybe Have to wait until next spring.

This is just the beginning of preparation.

The wrangling with Yizhou also started. Hu Zhao set up a special negotiating team to start a long-term negotiation with Yizhou. Whether it is the provision before the war, the responsibility during the war, or the cleaning up after the war, it is a question.

Mu Jing didn't pay much attention to these things.

He is very busy.

During the more than four months of the expedition, the accumulated affairs, large and small, could overwhelm the desk. Although he was responsible for both civil and military affairs, there were still some things that he, the lord, had to go through personally.

For more than ten days in a row, Mu Jing was suppressed in the Zhaoming Pavilion, and copies of the melodies were sent out from his hands.

"Hongfeng and Zhengyang Commercial Bank want to jointly establish an exchange in Hanzhong, you can review it!"

Mu Jing handed the memorial to Huo Yu, and said, "But you told Mr. Liu that it's better to add some local merchants. Sun Hao and the others know the influence of this exchange very well, so they will spend money on it." , but it is related to a part of Hanzhong's commercial development, we can't stand idly by!"

"understand!"

"There are still these notebooks, how did you hand them over, and how did you type them back!" Mu Jing threw down the dozen or so notebooks on the left side.

"My lord, this was sent by Nan Study!"

"Tell Liu Jin, if he can't even control the South Study Room, then leave it alone, and send up trivial matters, what do I want him to do!" Mu Jing said coldly.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu smiled wryly.

Liu Jin was too cautious, he didn't dare to overstep his authority in many things, so basically all the memorials, large and small, were sent to Zhaoming Hall, but this would greatly affect the operating efficiency of the Minghou Mansion, which naturally angered Mu Jing.

Mu Jing never worried about his subordinates seizing power, what he worried about was the people who were in his position but did not seek to govern, so Liu Jin seemed to have angered Mu Jing.

"How's the progress of those two lanes?"

"Hanshui Chidao went very smoothly, but Dongshan Chidao encountered many difficulties. It is difficult to pave the way after all!" Huo Yu replied. He will understand everything, whenever Mujing asks, he can answer one or two.

"Overcome difficulties!"

Mu Jing said: "Funds from other companies have been invested in. If we can't overcome the difficulties and make this way, we will lose the reputation of our Minghou Mansion. This is absolutely not allowed!"

Reputation is very important, especially when the Minghou Mansion is newly built. If you can't have a reputation of trustworthiness to face the world, no one will form an alliance with the Minghou Mansion. In this chaotic world, princes are in groups, and they will die if they fight alone.

"Ok!"

Huo Yu nodded: "I'll go and supervise the worker!"

"How many playbooks are left!"

"The rest should be the memorabilia sent by Beiwutang!" Huo Yu replied: "My lord has been on the front line for the past few months, but some things in the army still need my lord to go through it. After all, the results of training also need to be known by my lord. !"

"it is good!"

Mujing opened them one by one: "Go and do your work, I'll take a closer look!"

"promise!"

Huo Yu walked away.

"and many more!"

Mu Jing stopped him.

"My lord, do you have any orders?"

"Yiji has been released to practice, and you still have to find someone who can replace him. Zhao Mingtang can't let you carry it alone!" Mu Jing said softly, "What abilities do you need for someone who can be by your side? Anyone knows!"

"Yes!"

Huo Yu nodded.

Not everyone can be like me, always by Mujing's side. To be by Mujing's side, one has to pass the test of ability, be loyal, and have a certain emotional intelligence, knowing when to do things.

……

In September, the weather is suddenly cold, and early autumn has come.

The autumn harvest came as scheduled.

This year's autumn harvest is a different one for Hanzhong.

During spring plowing, Nong Cao proposed to use the seedling raising method, which changed the sowing of this era, and replaced the backward technology of sowing seeds with the technology of transplanting rice seedlings. Whether there will be any results depends on the autumn harvest of this season.

On this day, Mu Jing personally led Nong Cao and a group of officials to a test field. There were over a hundred acres of fertile land, and there were yellow patches everywhere. This scene was the favorite scene of countless farmers.

"Start harvesting!"

Mujing rolled up the robe on his feet, pulled up his sleeves again, took a new type of sickle, and stepped into the paddy field himself, stepping on the fertile field with mud and water.

All the officials looked at each other.

Helpless wry smile.

They just came to inspect and didn't think about doing farm work, but now that Mu Jing is on the field in person, they can only play. Nongcao is now a big yamen, with dozens of officials from the head down.

Harvesting, threshing, threshing... a series of procedures, quite complicated.

In this day and age, harvesting is not an easy task.

After a few days, they only harvested five acres of land, which made them so busy that they couldn't straighten their backs. Enough is enough, and Mu Jing can't force them to become farmers, and the rest will be collectively harvest.

"Tell a certain family, how is the harvest?"

Mujing is most concerned about this issue now.

This time Nongcao used the seedling raising method, first raising the seedlings, and then transplanting the seedlings, which is different from the traditional method of throwing away the seeds without any rules to germinate. It seems to be much better, but it still needs to use data to speak.

Whether the method of raising seedlings can be directly promoted depends on the harvest. At least farmers must trust it before it can be promoted.

"27 stone!"

Liu Ling, head of Nongcao, replied excitedly.

"Five mu of land, more than five stones per mu?" Mu Jing's eyes lit up.

In this era, the yield per mu is very low, and it is good to have three shi rice per mu. It is definitely a breakthrough progress to be able to mention five shi rice per mu in one breath.
