Great Military Division

Chapter 355 The rice field fish in Jingzhou and Yangzhou died on a large scale, causing disasters?
Jingzhou.

Outside the city of Xiangyang.

Looking at the rice fields full of fish and the people busy in the fields, Han Song felt excited from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps this place will become the next Nanyang in a short time.

Before the rice is harvested, the common people can eat a lot of fish, and even sell the excess fish in the market to earn some money and improve their lives.

After the common people have no worries about food and clothing, they can follow the example of Nanyang and promote education, so that all children under the age of ten in Jingzhou can enter Xiangxu to study.

The warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace!

Haha!

The smile on Han Song's face could not be concealed, and his chin was raised when he walked, with a majestic and high-spirited look, as if the scene of a happy life in front of him was all the result of his wisdom and courage.

This made Han Song very proud!

but
When Han Song glanced at the people working in the fields and the little fish lying motionless and lying on his side on the ridge, the excitement on his face disappeared completely, replaced by melancholy, full of disbelief.

what happened?

What exactly is going on?

Han Song hurried to the ridge beside the road, stroking the small fish that was exposed to the sun without even moving the gills for breathing, and was stunned in place like a thunderbolt.

Looked up.

Han Song looked at the people working in the fields. They were picking up dead fish with white bellies, as if every step they took was extremely heavy.

When the common people straightened up and raised their heads, there was no happy smile on their faces, but a sad face that was so distressed that they were about to cry. It seemed that what they were holding with both hands was not a dead fish, but a fragment of a happy life.

"My fellow, this is."

After all, Han Song had the guts to ask, "What's going on? Why did so many fish die?"

The man in Tanaka burst into tears when he heard the words: "How can I know the reason? These fish are dying every day. I bought them all with borrowed money. What can I do this year? The fish haven't grown up yet. Thousands died."

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The man burst into tears regardless of his image.

These people have always rented three to forty mu, or even four to fifty mu of land, and one mu of land has thousands of fish, and four to fifty mu of land has tens of thousands of fish fry.

For them, this is definitely a huge loss, even more desperate than the famine years, after all, they borrowed money to buy fry.

"How could this be?"

Even Han Song himself couldn't believe it.

The good rice field fish ecological breeding implemented in Nanyang failed in Jingzhou?
Could it be that there is something else in this that I don't know?

but
I have obviously sent someone to measure the size, and even asked the local people, how can the ecological farming of rice field fish be carried out in Nanyang, but not in nearby Xiangyang?

"Han Zhizhong—!"

"Han Zhizhong—!"

Just when Han Song fell into doubt and couldn't extricate himself.

Not far away, a long call sounded.

Han Song hurriedly looked up.

But seeing, a horse riding Juechen came, flew off the horse, clasped his hands and clasped his fists: "Han Zhizhong, my lord pleases."

Han Song frowned: "But is it because of the fish in the rice fields?"

The guard pulled Han Song aside. He didn't want to say anything, but he nodded in the end: "Many people have made trouble to the state pastoral mansion, and asked the envoy to explain why there are a large number of fish fry dying."

"Oh?"

Han Song was surprised: "A large number of fish fry died?"

The guard lowered his voice: "That's right! There can be as few as one or two hundred fish per mu, and as many as three or four hundred fish. Because it was proposed by Zhizhong to follow the example of Nanyang and carry out ecological breeding of fish in rice fields, so the king"

"I see."

Han Song interrupted with a wave of his hand, without hesitation: "Let's go, go back to the state pastoral mansion."

However, the guard stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!"

Han Song frowned: "General Wen, aren't you?"

"Zhizhong, listen to a word of advice from Pin, hurry up and go back to Nanyang, this matter is too big, you can't afford it."

"General Wen, how could you?"

"You and I are all from Nanyang, I just told you, and I know that your original intention is for the good of the people, but the current situation is beyond your ability to bear, once this happens everywhere, the king will kill you , is also normal!"

"But."

Han Song naturally knew that Wenpin was right, but he couldn't pass his own test: "This incident happened because of me. If I just leave like this, what should the common people do?"

"no!"

Han Song shook his head, and said extremely firmly: "I must not leave, absolutely not!"

Wenpin grabbed Han Song's arm: "Han Zhizhong, are you really determined not to leave?"

Han Song nodded affirmatively: "Well, I can't go."

"Even if it could be death?"

"That's right!"

"Ok."

Wen Pin sighed and said softly, "Since Han Zhizhong has made his decision, let's go back to Xiangyang."

Without hesitation, Han Song got on his horse and said, "Let's go."

Soon.

Han Song then returned to Zhoumu Mansion.

Fortunately, the people in the periphery have been driven away at this moment.

Han Song went straight into the hall and hurried forward: "My lord, Han Song is here."

Liu Biao frowned, with anger floating on his face, he said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect you to dare to come back. You know that a lot of fish died in the rice fields in Jingzhou."

"Not long ago, the people of Xiangyang surrounded the State Shepherd's Mansion, clamoring for the State Shepherd to give them an explanation. If it wasn't for the governor Cai Mao, the State Shepherd's Mansion would almost be breached now!"

Han Song bowed in a hurry: "Master, there may be some problems that the subordinates are not aware of. The subordinates will find the reason as soon as possible and recover the loss."

"How to recover?"

Liu Biao's voice was cold, revealing a bit of murderous intent: "Do you know that the planting season is over now, is it possible to start over again? God will give you a second chance?"

"The fish fry died, the people owed a lot of debts, and the rice seedlings suffered accordingly, which would inevitably cause turmoil in Jingzhou. This is a disaster of millions!"

"This responsibility."

Speaking of this, Liu Biao was already extremely angry, the muscles on his face kept twitching, and there seemed to be thousands of arrows shooting at Han Song in his dry eyes: "Can you bear it?"

Han Song bowed his body and cupped his hands, and responded sonorously: "My lord, if this subordinate cannot be saved, please hang this head to thank the tens of thousands of people in Jingzhou."

Liu Biao sighed, "Are you planning to go to Nanyang to ask for help?"

Han Song nodded: "That's right! I hope the lord will be fulfilled."

Liu Biao said softly: "What if Nanyang is unwilling to help? You must know that they are already training the navy, and they are obviously planning to go south to attack Jingzhou. The food shortage in Jingzhou will do them all good and no harm."

Han Song was extremely sure, with a firm expression on his face: "I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is diligent in governing and loving the people, and he will not ignore the people of Jingzhou. After all, the people of Jingzhou are also the people of the Han Dynasty, and the land of Jingzhou is also the territory of the Han Dynasty."

"you"

Liu Biao naturally understood what he meant.

"Lord!"

Han Song interrupted directly, and said sonorously: "I don't care what you think, but for His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, his structure is by no means limited to Nanyang, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou."

How can Liu Biao not know what Han Song means? Although this is relatively passive, if it can relieve the danger of Jingzhou people, he can only bite the bullet and say:

"Go back quickly!"

Liu Biao waved his hand and said angrily, "If you can solve this crisis, I will spare you. If not, you can wait for the head to fall to appease the hearts of the people."

Han Song bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Thank you, my lord, for your trust."

Liu Biao sighed and waved his hands impatiently: "Go quickly, don't be an eyesore here."

Han Song responded, bowed and left immediately.

*****
Ask the pavilion.

Liu Bian held a bright silver metal in his hand, looked at it carefully, and thought to himself: "Teacher, is this the original state of aluminum alloy? Judging from the texture, it is indeed much harder than pure aluminum."

"kindness."

The Alliance of Military Advisors is extremely affirmative of this: "Don't worry, Master Bian, this is aluminum alloy. This guy Tai Shitong has already manufactured it, but he hasn't reported it yet."

"This guy"

Liu Bian was overwhelmed with admiration. Once others invent something, they would like to claim credit for it, but Tai Shitong is not interested in credit at all.

"Taishi Changcheng."

Liu Bian put down the aluminum alloy and looked up at the man below.

"The minister is here."

Tai Shitong bowed in a hurry, showing respect.

Liu Bian frowned, suspicious in his heart: "I don't understand, since you have already produced aluminum alloy, why didn't you report it?"

Tai Shitong also had his own reasons: "Your Majesty, I think that since these things can be fused, can they also be fused with other things, and what kind of characteristics will be produced by merging other things, so I have been exploring."

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, Tai Shitong emphasized: "The most important thing is that various metal substances are currently being refined, and it is not yet the time when aluminum alloys can be produced on a large scale, so I think there is no need to rush to report."

"I think! I think! I think!"

Liu Bian was furious when he heard the words, and turned back without hesitation: "Do you know that if you make decisions without authorization, it will delay many things for me. If I didn't take the initiative to come here today, how long would you have to hide it?"

"His Majesty-!"

Liu Biansen reprimanded coldly, frightening Tai Shitong to the point of fright.

He hastily made a deep bow, his body trembled subconsciously, and said in fear and trepidation: "I am really guilty of my crime, and I hope your Majesty will punish me!"

call-

Seeing that Tai Shitong admitted his mistakes with a good attitude, Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, "Fortunately, the important matter was not delayed, otherwise I will hold you accountable and punish you with half a year's salary."

Tai Shitong was not very interested in money at first, so he didn't feel distressed at all, and hurriedly handed over: "Thank you for your forgiveness, I will never make decisions on my own in the future."

"All right!"

Liu Bian interrupted, and asked in a cold voice: "How many metal substances have been refined now?"

Tai Shitong bowed: "Your Majesty, I will go get the account later, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian nodded: "Well, let's go."

Soon.

Tai Shitong hurried over with an account, and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the account as of a month ago, and it is already the middle of the month. If you want to refine the metal, you can still have a little more."

"kindness."

While flipping through the accounts, Liu Bian nodded again and again.

Have to admit.

This guy Tai Shitong is worthy of being a secretary and supervisor. He manages all kinds of accounts in an orderly manner, which is clear and pleasing to the eye:

"Not bad!"

Liu Bian praised, and then said: "From the accounts, the conditions for refining aluminum alloy are already met. Although there may be interruptions in the middle, as much as can be smelted, as much can be smelted."

"All the refined aluminum alloys were handed over to Han Ji. He built a reservoir in the upper reaches of the Feishui River and powered by long streams. Now that it's the summer rainy season, he can stamp and make armor plates."

Tai Shitong bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, from now on, I will concentrate on refining aluminum alloys, and I will definitely not study indiscriminately and delay Your Majesty's important affairs."

"Smelting aluminum alloy is naturally a big event."

"but."

Liu Bian changed the subject, and handed Tai Shitong a letter from his pocket: "When the refining of aluminum alloy is on the right track, what should be researched should still be researched, and it cannot be stopped."

"This is the brief formula of Fuhuo Leiting. You take it first, and build a brand new laboratory according to the above requirements. After the aluminum alloy is on the right track, start researching it."

Tai Shitong was stunned for a moment: "Fu Huo Lei Ting? What is this?"

Liu Bian didn't bother to explain, and got up slowly: "After you have studied it, you will naturally understand that if you develop it and sweep the world, it will be no problem. I will leave this matter to you."

Tai Shitong personally sent His Majesty the Emperor out of the Question Hall: "I respectfully send His Majesty to you."

After His Majesty's Luanjia left, Tai Shitong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Facing His Majesty's wrath, he actually had the feeling of having survived a catastrophe, which was completely different from when he was in Luoyang.

When returning to the Question Hall.

Tai Shitong opened the letterhead, took out the record of the fire and thunder, and read it carefully: "The fire can be large or small. The small one is like the fire of a candle, which will be extinguished when blown; the big one is like thunder from the sky, which can burn everything."

"."

hiss-!
Tai Shitong was astonished, his eyes stared like bells, and he gasped: "There is such a terrifying thing in this world? No wonder Your Majesty said that if you can create this thing, it will sweep the world."

On the way back to Wancheng.

Liu Bian was holding a scroll in his hand, pretending to be reading, but he was actually communicating with the Military Division Alliance: "Teacher, why are you going to make black powder all of a sudden?"

The voice of the military division alliance followed: "Just now, when the experts sorted out the information that Guo Jia handed over, they learned that Chang'an Dong Zhuo was already researching the city wall reinforcement technology."

"And judging from some temporary information, the craftsmen in Chang'an have basically mastered the method of three-component clay, and may even add some viscose materials."

"what?"

Liu Bian was stunned for a moment: "No way, are they so smart? How could they think of such a way?"

The Military Alliance said softly: "According to Guo Jia's information, a loud bang can always be heard somewhere in Chang'an. Nine times out of ten, the other party dropped an iron ball from a high altitude to test the bearing capacity of the soil. .”

"The city walls built under such circumstances must be N times stronger than the walls of the Han Dynasty. I am afraid that once they are built, our siege ballista will be completely useless."

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, the Alliance of Military Advisors hurriedly explained: "Even if Chang'an is really researched, he will not be able to replace all the cities. At best, he will rebuild Wuguan and Hanguguan."

"But if these two gates are rebuilt, it is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of the imperial court attacking Chang'an from Heluo, so just in case, we should also prepare in advance."

"Build the gunpowder first, and then use the explosives to blow up the city gates. It will be much easier than dealing with the city walls, and this step is always necessary. There is no harm in preparing in advance."

Uh.
Iron ball free fall?

To test the hardness of the soil?
If this is the case, Liu Bian's ballista might really be scrapped: "Unexpectedly, the craftsmen in Chang'an are really smart, and they can think of such a method?"

The Military Division Alliance said softly: "Of course! The ancients were only slightly inferior in vision, but in terms of wisdom, they are really not inferior to modern people, so we can't underestimate anyone."

"Since Chang'an has started experimenting with peace of mind, we must also take preventive measures and upgrade our offensive strategy. Anyway, the step of black powder is always to be taken."

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "That's true."

Squeaky.

Luan wandered around and returned to Wancheng.

When Liu Bian returned to the emperor's palace, He Yun had already greeted him: "Your Majesty, Guo Jia has something to see."

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "Could it be that there is already a result with Li Ru?"

He Yun shook his head: "It's not about Yuan Di."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian couldn't help being surprised: "Where is that?"

He Yun said softly: "It should be Jingzhou."

Liu Bian was stunned: "Jingzhou?"

He Yun nodded and nodded: "That's right, it may have something to do with the rice field fish."

Liu Bian became more and more confused: "Fish in the rice field?"

He Yunen said: "It should be, when His Majesty goes down to Wende Hall, it will naturally become clear."

"it is good."

Liu Bian nodded, went back to change his clothes, and went straight to Wende Hall.

Sure enough, Guo Jia was waiting for a meeting, when he met the figure of His Majesty the Emperor, he hurried up to greet him: "Minister Guo Jia, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian didn't bother to talk nonsense, and waved his hand to signal him to sit aside: "Feng Xiao can speak bluntly, what happened in Jingzhou?"

Guo Jiayi bowed, and said bluntly: "Actually, not only Jingzhou, but also Guanzhong and Yangzhou, all have accidents."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian became more and more curious: "Is everything wrong?"

Guo Jia nodded: "Well, because our rice field fish in Nanyang has been very successful, the yield per mu has reached more than two stones and two buckets, and we can even breed a large number of fish, so Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places have followed suit."

"But."

As soon as the subject changed, Guo Jia followed up and said, "The fish in their rice fields are invisible, and there are a lot of dead fish, and even many rice seedlings have been damaged."

"Yesterday, the people of Xiangyang had already surrounded the State Shepherd's Mansion. If the governor Cai Mao hadn't sent troops to strictly guard it, Liu Biao promised to give the people an explanation. I'm afraid the matter might get worse."

"and!"

Guo Jia emphasized: "According to the information, Han Song, who is working in the Jingzhou government, has been ordered to come to Nanyang. I am afraid that he will go to Wen Ruo soon."

hiss-!
Liu Bian couldn't help gasping for a breath of cold air, his scalp felt numb, and the back of his spine became cold.

Until now, he really felt that the ecological breeding of fish in rice fields is a complicated project, and it is by no means as simple as imagined, otherwise such things would not happen in Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

"teacher."

Without hesitation, Liu Bian had a thought, and asked in his heart: "Do you know why there are dead fish? It seems that it has never happened in Nanyang."

"Of course!"

The voice of the military division alliance followed: "Judging from the current season, seven out of ten of their problems are water quality problems. The water for rice field fish must be treated, otherwise the fish will easily get sick and die."

"Moreover, if they don't handle it well in the later stage, it may even affect the rice seedlings and cause the seedlings to die, which will lead to a state of no harvest this year."

"After all, according to the calculations of meteorologists, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the Little Ice Age, the range of the second cropping rice was reduced compared to modern times."

"so."

The Military Division Alliance emphasized: "Once the seedlings die, the people of Jingzhou will not have a harvest this year. In a sense, it is equivalent to experiencing a natural disaster."

"what?"

Liu Bian was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Wouldn't that be beneficial to us? Just let Sun Jian lead his troops to attack Jingzhou, and he might not be able to take it down then? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

The Alliance of Military Advisors said affirmatively: "This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Lord Bian, you are now the Emperor of Han, although your actual power does not extend to Jingzhou, but if you do such a thing of abandoning the people, I am afraid it will affect you badly. "

Liu Bian frowned: "Could it be that the experts mean that I should save the people of Jingzhou? After helping Liu Biao out of the siege, let him lead his troops to fight against me?"

"Don't be in a hurry, Master."

The military division alliance took the lead in appeasing Liu Bian's emotions.

After all, for Liu Bian, there is no such thing as the whole world, whether it is the land of the king, the shore of the land, or the thought of the king's ministers.

In his subconscious mind, he also limited himself to the three acres of land in Nanyang, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou.

In a sense, Liu Bian hadn't really gotten used to his status as the emperor of the Han family. He just regarded Liu Biao and Liu Yao as princes and his enemies, not his subjects.

"You have to remember!"

The military division alliance emphasized: "You are the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the real master of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. This is your political certainty and the responsibility you bear."

"So, no matter what Jingzhou is doing now or in the future, you have the responsibility and obligation to save your people, so as to establish your orthodox status in the Han Dynasty, and buy people's hearts."

"especially!"

The voice of the Military Division Alliance was raised an octave: "Currently there are also a small number of disasters in Guanzhong. They are too busy to take care of themselves, so how can they take care of Jingzhou and Yangzhou?"

"If Lord Bian can make a move at this time, he can naturally buy people's hearts. This will be beneficial to Lord Bian's future actions in the south of the Yangtze River."

"As for alleviating Liu Biao's crisis?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the voice of the Military Division Alliance: "Master Bian thinks that without this matter, Liu Biao's Xiangyang City can stop our ballistas, cavalry, and warships?"

"We don't need to take advantage of people's dangers. Instead, we should take advantage of this opportunity to buy people's hearts. This will help us intervene in Jingzhou and lay a foundation in advance, which will help disintegrate the gentry in Jingzhou."
