Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 97 Spring

Li Yue can release part of the financial power and governance power, but the military power, personnel appointment and dismissal power, and ideology are firmly in his hands.

There is a saying in the art of war that those who share the same desire win.

If you want to deal with things, you must first deal with people's hearts, and then you will be invincible.

The master bookkeepers were all too busy to touch the ground.

Weishan handles all kinds of disputes on the mountain, ranging from land disputes to trivial matters.

Zhou Qian was as busy as a big housekeeper. He was busy enough to be registered as a registered household and naturalized. He also had to buy and sell private salt, and prepare for the upcoming spring plowing.

Xu Cheng and Liang Xiao guarded Sishui Fort alone and Weishui Fort alone, one south and one north.

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

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

Even Xin Can was not idle, and the enlightenment on the mountain was entrusted to him.

Although busy, it is full of vitality.

Everyone is doing their best for the growth of Heiyun Mountain.

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

According to Li Yue's instructions, Zhang Shengye nibbled away and got back more than 200 healthy horses. The cavalry unit in Heiyun Mountain was basically formed. There were no horses, so they used donkeys and mules to make do.

Under Shi Hu's harsh punishment, there are as many wild animals in the hunting ground as a cow's hair.

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

This era is full of beasts.

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

The scouts had a great harvest, and carloads of prey were pulled up the mountain.

Young wild animals were kept in captivity in Xishan, adult wild animals were slaughtered, and their furs were collected by cobblers to make leather.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chinese ancestors already had leather-making skills, and in the Warring States Period, they used natural Glauber's salt and alum to tan leather.

The busy days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, winter passed and spring came.

On the day of late spring, the festival of Shangsi, it is also a matter of repairing evil spirits.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the emphasis on Shangsi Festival was not lower than New Year's Eve.

On the third day of the third lunar month, men and women enjoy spring outings, banquets by the water, and gatherings with friends.

But Heiyun Mountain is not as elegant as this.

In order not to reveal the reality of the mountain, Li Yue took access control measures and strictly prohibited going down the mountain at will, so he could only simply worship his ancestors on the mountain.

The plan for a year lies in spring.

Whether Heiyun Mountain can survive this troubled world depends on this year's spring plowing.

All affairs on the mountain are put down first, men, women and children all go down the mountain, reopen the canals, tidy up the wasteland, build thatched huts in the fields, and lay earthen stoves.

In the flood last year, a large area of ​​fields upstream of Boshuibao was flooded.

Now that the flood has receded long ago, the fields have been nourished by silt and become more fertile. With a little tidying up, more than 3000 mu of fertile land will be obtained.

In the naturally formed ponds and weirs, tails of fat fish often jump out of the water to devour catkins and grass seeds blown by the wind.

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

But the people on the mountain didn't have any scruples, they carried back basket after basket and boiled it into fish soup for drinking.

Back then, Sishuibao was far more than these fields, and there were many fields further upstream.

But the benefits can't be all taken away. The more than 6000 mu of fertile land near Liunanbao of Zheng's family were all given up to Zheng's family.

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

Pickled vegetables are similar to the pickled vegetables of later generations, and the meat is boiled, chopped, sprinkled with salt, and marinated in a sealed container.

Li Yue looked at the dark color and smelled a strange smell, which was really off-putting.

Han Xu, the magistrate of Jing County, sent someone to ask for support.

A plague severely damaged the vitality of Jing County. There were not enough young and strong people to farm, and the cattle could not escape the plague.

Li Yue transferred a thousand middle base battalions to the past.

The way of the world is to come and go, once you come and go, everyone will get acquainted.

After a spring rain, the long-awaited spring plowing began.

Li Yue originally wanted to perform a few performances to boost morale, but only after he got off the field did he realize that it was unnecessary.

Everyone fucked to death.

Just after dawn, people woke up, consciously picked up the hoe, except for eating and drinking, kept busy until dark, and then reluctantly left.

Even five or six-year-old children gather firewood in groups to help cook porridge.

In the middle of the night, people watch the night to prevent wild boars and birds from pecking at the seeds.

It was still the same the next day, without any slack, Li Yue was shocked by his diligence.

This also shows their desire for a stable life.

It's a pity that in the long river of history, there are either natural disasters or man-made disasters, and diligent farming is not available.

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

Just provide a stable environment, and with their hard work, they will naturally support the sky.

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

Among the tribes in eastern Liaodong, the Murong family is not the most powerful one, and it is also sandwiched between Goguryeo, Duan, and Yuwen.

Wu Huan Hua, Murong Xing reformed the punishment and administration, humbly introduced, treated scholars generously, set up overseas Chinese counties to resettle Han people, and the refugees from the north did not vote for Wang Jun and Cui Wei, who were born in high-ranking families, but instead sought refuge in Murong Xing. is strong.

Murongxin also wrote the "Family Order" with thousands of words to educate his descendants, so that Murong's family came out in large numbers.

Li Yue took out the prey of the scouts, heavy physical labor, without oil and water.

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

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

The pickles and meat sauce that Li Yue despised became supreme delicacies in their eyes, and more than 300 altars were divided in the blink of an eye.

"Mencius said: The sage and the people plow and eat together, and eat and drink to rule. The general is like this, why worry that Heiyun Mountain is not prosperous?" Xin Can shook his head and said.

This old boy burrows into his side whenever he is free.

However, in the past two months, his transformation is obvious to all. He used to talk about the court when he had nothing to do.

Say nothing now.

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

"If Heiyun Mountain can rise, Lao Xin will also contribute a lot." Li Yue looked at the blue sky perfunctorily.

Xin Can's face was full of glory, he laughed dryly, and took out a letter from his bosom, "Yesterday... Jiangdong sent a secret letter to the old man..."

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

Heiyun Mountain's ability to defeat Zhang Yu has already proved its worth.

It is impossible for Jiangdong to remain indifferent.

In the past, the management on the mountain was closed, and letters could not come in. Now that the spring is plowing, everyone has gone down the mountain, and the secret workers in the south finally seized the opportunity.

Li Yue's hands were covered in dirt, and he didn't answer the letter. It was obviously written by Jiang Dong to Xin Can, and he would say it whether he read it or not.

Xin Can stammered: "The imperial court... is very pleased with the fact that the general defeated Jie Zhao Yuzhou governor Zhang Yu, and advises the general to make persistent efforts..."

Li Yue was taken aback, "It's over?"

"that is all……"

Li Yue received the letter with a few words, most of which were words of encouragement, but it was not sent by the imperial court, but Xie Shang, General Xizhong, Fake Festival, the military governor of the six counties of Yangzhou, and the governor of Yuzhou.

He flirted with Zhang Yu before, but now that Zhang Yu has lost and the value of Heiyun Mountain has risen, he naturally has to change his target.

Fake Festival and the title of governor of Yuzhou made him qualified to make irresponsible remarks on the affairs of the two states of Siyu.

But it's a bit too stingy, with empty teeth and a blank sheet of paper.

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

You can't hit a rock with an egg against Jie Zhao, and you can't be too rigid with Jiang Dong.

Be a man to stay on the line and meet each other in the future.

Li Yue looked at Xin Can, and smiled like a fox. How could a fisherman know he was not a fisherman?
"Mr. Xin wrote back a letter, saying that I, Li Yue, intend to kill the thieves and restore the old capital, but unfortunately my strength is meager. I have this intention but not the strength. I hope the court will support me..."
