Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 377

At the end of the Han Dynasty, these big families should not be underestimated. The local nobles married and made friends with each other, forming a tight network of relationships. Xun Yu was an official in Cao Cao. Relying on his recommendation, the Yingchuan family occupied an important place under Cao Cao’s command. , and the Wuji Zhen family is far away in Hebei, who would have thought that the Zhen family would actually have a connection with the mountains and rivers in Taihu Lake!

It's just that Zhen Yao's idea came out a little bit out of time. Just this morning, Wang Hou sent the Island City Brigade, which was half of his main combat force, to Dalianjiao.

Call back now?

Please, there is a saying that military orders fall like mountains!Change from day to day!Where is the authority of the lord?
Fortunately, there are not many thugs in Qingzhou!After making up his mind in Daocheng, Wang Hou summoned the Rizhao Brigade and the Qingzhou Cavalry Regiment re-established by depriving the Black Mountain Army cavalry, and headed straight for Qi State again.

No matter how fertile the land is, it needs a stable environment in order to produce golden wealth!Under Wang Hou's policy of deliberately chaotically governing the Luxi Plain, Chengyang County, which was almost hollowed out, received a batch of demographic dividends.

Since last year, some clansmen and tenant farmers from the Qidi family who are not used to the rule of Taishan bandits have relocated to the sparsely populated Chengyang County. Zhang Yan is also a master who has nothing to do, and many branches of the Qi family have moved out. Now on both sides of the official road, the once deserted village settlements have now been restored and filled, and large tracts of farmland exude golden brilliance. After another seven or eight days, the wheat can be harvested.

Moreover, some clans have learned how to grow cotton and sugar beet, and while riding on the horse, watching the tenants pick the early-maturing cotton bolls in the field, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth twitched.

The first thing to do when you go back is to set up a market near Pyeongchang and Wen'an!If you want to trade cotton candy ingredients, you must go to the market!And to do business, you have to pay transaction tax!Cotton beets were the first to be promoted by Wang Hou, and now if they want a piece of the pie, they have to pay tribute to Wang Hou!

While Wang Hou was staring at the newly established cotton field, Zhen Yao, the main initiator of this conspiracy, was also watching in a daze.

Wuji, where the Zhen family is located, is next to Yecheng, and the location is very superior in terms of geopolitics!After all, Cao Cao used Ye as his capital, and the nearest place to recruit talents is around Yecheng. The aristocratic family living here has a high chance of becoming a high-ranking official, but now the Zhen family has a political record, and even offended the eldest son Cao Pi in a certain sense. , can't stand up.

Looking at it now, Qingzhou under Wang Hou's governance seems to be a good place to settle down. The place is stable. Although the land is not as fertile as Jizhou, there are many free fields, but there is a lack of people to cultivate them. More importantly, the Zhen family married Qingzhou Mu. Standing here, you can have a good future in politics, holding your chin, Zhen Yao is also thinking hard and making a decision there.

…………

The benefits of cultivating the Tao are evident here. The last time Wang Hou marched northward from Rizhao, it took him more than ten days to advance. This time, he set off from a farther island city, but it took only seven days to lead the army into the Beihai National Governance. Pingshou.

The genealogy of the Qingzhou herdsman was also shown by Wang Hou. After he came to Pingshou, he did not go any further. Following Mr. Cao, he also set up autumn hunting, and at the same time sent envoys to Le'an, Linzi and Taixian to summon him. Several princes came to see him.

The ecological environment these days is really not comparable to that of later generations. Children in the city can't even see a wild rabbit from a young age. The large army surrounded the nearby fields, and the sergeants stood in a row and beat their halberds to drive them away. Amidst the noise of ping-pong-pong, heavy wild boars, groups of wild deer, roe deer, and roe deer grinned and escaped from their hiding place. Taking the opportunity, a group of Qingzhou knights and gentry generals came out on horseback. Hunt up.

Now is not the time to protect wild animals. Just like the United States and Australia in later generations, wild boars are not only protected animals, but are harmful animals. The government actively encourages hunting. You must know that a wild boar can easily destroy a large area of ​​farmland. The king held regular autumn hunting, which was also an act of protecting farming.

But refuse to eat wild animals, start with me!In this regard, Wang Hou's consciousness is quite high!His subordinates were happily peeling and cutting the captured roe deer meat and wild pork, a big fat pig roasted in the big tent of his Chinese army was brought out from a nearby pig farm, and it was a standard breed.

These days, the owner is still the kind of fragrant pig, black pig, not the landrace pig imported from the West. Although it has lost its hair and is as white as it is, it looks a bit fiercer than the landrace pig. Falling down, a pig's head was still grinning at Wang Hou's big fangs, frightening people there.

Eight hundred miles under the command of the broiler!This roasted pig, Wen and Wu under Wang Hou's command were also waiting on both sides with plates, but the atmosphere here is not very good, this side Zang Ba, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan stared like a cow The eyes are like that, and the angry expression seems to use the small knife in hand to slice off the opposite side, and throw it on the fire to roast it.

On the other hand, Zhang Yan and his subordinates Lei Gong, Bai Rao, Guo Daxian Qing Niujiao and other generals were similar, also twisting their knives tightly, and staring at each other with gritted teeth.

Out of his own considerations, Sima Yi, the highest civil officer in Qi, also sat on the side of the Taishan Army. The king of the first grandson of the Three Kingdoms still looks so calm, but he is still young now, and under the calm surface , I can still faintly see his worry.

After all, this time Wang Hou was in a hurry to get together in the island city of Qingzhou's county chiefs and prefects. Before he came, Wang Hou led his troops to approach Qi State, and he still adopted the method of garrisoning troops in Beihai and recruiting ministers to come to see him. It has to be unnerving.

"Zhou Mu, I will sue at the end. These Hebei barbarians are simply bandits! During the six months since I took office in Qi State, they have committed all sorts of crimes, including looting, looting women, burning houses, and committing all sorts of crimes! Moreover, this man is also embezzling food and pay, asking our county to pay tribute to other troops. , for their squandering!"

"Zhou Mu, this thief's behavior is just like Xia Pi Ruo Rong in the past! It is ominous to leave it, so kill him as soon as possible!"

His eyes were on fire, and he was so angry that he knocked on the table. Sun Guan, who was the most fiery, jumped up, pointed at Zhang Yan's nose and yelled and cursed.

But Zhang Yan is not easy to provoke, he looked at Sun Guan with disdain, he didn't even stand up, he hugged his arms and hummed coldly.

"The appointment of the state herdsman will be the general of Pingqi Zhonglang, and the taxation of the three counties of Qi State will take part of the army to support the army. Isn't it reasonable! And some anti-tax lawbreakers! I will kill them, but you will obstruct them. The state herdsmen In front of him, I would like to ask, what are your intentions!"

"State Shepherd!"

Grinning their teeth, the two sides engaged in a confrontation. A dozen or so pairs of eyes were fixed on Wang Hou, waiting for his referee, but at this moment, when the air was tense and the air was so tense that a spark would burst, Wang Hou Still with a smile on his face, the knife in his hand actually cut lightly on the pork shoulder that had just been roasted and presented in front of him, and gestured with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, today is the autumn hunting and entertainment, don't talk about those official affairs, come, eat meat!"

In this case, who can eat it?Full of exasperation, Wu Dun opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Wang Hou's eyes suddenly glanced at him coldly.

"Will General Wu not give me Wang some face?"

"The last will not dare!"

It's not that the Han Empire can't give Wang Tiangao face, but it's not at this table. With a sudden feeling in his heart, Wu Dun quickly stretched out his hand to apologize, and immediately walked up to the roast pig with a knife, regardless of whether it was roasted or not, that's it. The big piece of pork was taken back to share the food, and the other side looked at Wang Hou's eyes, and had to put away his aggressive aura. Zhang Yan also tilted his head slightly, and his subordinate Bai Sui immediately walked away with a knife and a plate go forward.

Now, let's drink and eat meat together, at least we can be regarded as wine and meat friends!The small knife in hand was still cutting the tenderly roasted pork shoulder on the plate, sending it to his mouth, eating slowly, Wang Hou hummed indistinctly.

"I called everyone here this time. I haven't seen you for a year! I miss Wang very much. We gathered together to hunt and have fun. On the other hand, Wang has a pastime. I don't know if you are interested!"

Bringing an army for fun?Lie ghost!But this should get to the point, no matter Zang Ba or Zhang Yan, they couldn't help but stare at each other.

"Please tell me, State Shepherd!"
