Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1573 Han Guang

  Intelligence is the most obvious aspect that distinguishes humans from other animals.

  It’s like some people just like not to use their brains. Although they have seen and heard it, there are still some people who can’t quickly adapt to the new changes.

  For example, the changes brought about by General Zhengxi...

The new year is approaching, although the time has not yet come, but many people have already started to prepare, even the ordinary people who have been poor for a year, still try to collect some firewood, exchange some money and go to the street to pull a three-foot new cloth, or buy a liter of white flour and white rice, not to mention the children of the big families in Sichuan and Shu. Seeing that the war is settled, and they can return to their favorite time, this mood is miserable...

  Therefore, inside and outside of Chengdu, there is gradually a festive atmosphere, which seems to dilute the severe cold of many weathers.

Just when Fei Qian picked up Liu Bei from Qingyang Temple, on Dongmen Street in Chengdu, the original snow was swept away early and piled up under the brick wall. There are several braziers, and there are thick wind-shielding curtains, coupled with the aroma of wine and meat, almost everyone who enters the door feels warm immediately, as if spring has arrived ahead of schedule.

Downstairs sells tea as well as wine. Many men who are free in the twelfth lunar month and who are not so tight on their hands sit in the room, roasting the fire, drinking bitter tea and sour wine, chatting nonsense, Of course, most of it still revolves around Fei Qian, the new General of Zhengxi in Sichuan...

In the words of these people, General Zhengxi gradually became demonized. Although most people have never experienced the battle in Qixian County, and even a lot of news did not know how many hands they had gone through, but It still can't stop these people from using their imagination beyond the ordinary, portraying General Zhengxi and his men as full of magical power, waving their hands to make clouds come, sleeves to make rain fall, stomping their feet to make the city gate collapse...

"So, from now on, you don't need to find the Dragon King to pray for rain?" An idler muttered, as if he had found a new way of thinking, "General Zhengxi has such supernatural powers, he can urge the clouds to make rain, no wonder he can Let the weather in Guanzhong be smooth and increase production and income..."

   "That's right, that's right, if General Zhengxi also gave me a field... Well, I mean, our Sichuan and Sichuan farmers also allocated some supernatural powers, wouldn't it be..."

   "What are you thinking? The benefits are not up to you, and those big households are in front?"

   "General Zhengxi has so many supernatural powers, can't these big households be able to stand it? How many leaks out, we are enough..."

   "That's true... But this General Zhengxi has supernatural powers, I haven't seen it now, the rules have to be seen first... Hey, I said that big leniency, have you finished the hard labor you were punished for? Bashi or not?"

   "Ba Shi is miserable!" Dakuan snorted, and he couldn't lose his face even if he lost.

"Hahaha…"

   Suddenly, a happy atmosphere floated in this corner.

   "Dakuan, don't pee everywhere next time, be careful that General Zhengxi won't punish you for sweeping the streets, hahaha..."

   "That's right, bold and fat, you can find a remote alley anyway, and pee in front of those patrols in Zhengxi, isn't this what you asked for?"

Although Bai Dakuan blushed, he still spoke stubbornly, "I just **** on Ge! What the hell! I just refuse to accept it! This General Zhengxi is in charge of the sky and the land, and in the middle he is in charge of **** and urinating? Is it a person who can't **** and pee? This is still punishing me..."

   "Dakuan, if you are not convinced, go and reason with General Zhengxi! Go out and turn left, then head north, no one will stop you!"

   "Tch, Ge Laozi has a good temper! I don't want to care about it..."

"Hahaha…"

  Under the guidance of the store clerk, Lai Min slowly climbed the stairs, and at the same time heard the noisy jokes in the corner, he couldn't help showing some smiles, and then went up to the second floor.

   Above the second floor, it is much more elegant and luxurious. Not only are there partitions, but even hanging curtains. There are incense burners in the corners, and the curling green smoke spreads out, as if to isolate a piece of elegance.

   "Brother Jingda, this way please!" Wu Yi got the message early, turned out of the screen, and greeted.

   "Ah, my brother is late, brother Wu, forgive me, forgive me..." Lai Min said with a smile, clasping his hands.

Wu Yi laughed, stepped forward and took Lai Min's hand affectionately, and said, "Brother Jingda, why is this so! You and I have known each other for many years, and we bother more with trivial matters, have no leisure time, and seldom get together... Today I heard that there is a new delicacy in Linxianlou, drinking alone is boring, brother Jingda doesn't think that someone is disturbing and vulgar, it's really lucky for Sansheng..."

   Lai Min also smiled, and the two of them gave in for a while, then Fang tugged at each other's sleeves and sat down together.

  Wu Yi won't say much, this Lai Min is actually the same as Wu Yi, he belongs to the type of people who are reduced to the end of the world and never get tired of seeing each other.

   Lai Minyuan's ancestors are also good. There are those who have been San Gong, chariot generals, marquises, and even married princesses of the Han family. But in Lai Min's generation...

In history, because Lai Min was a new savage, he soon hooked up with Liu Bei after entering Sichuan, and even became Liu Chan's family order, and then soared all the way until he swelled up and had **** with Brother Zhu, and then said Wrong words, then raped, survived until Brother Zhu died, and trembled again, but unexpectedly said wrong words again, was raped again, and then this time he couldn't get up again. In addition, Lai Min was ninety-seven years old, so he was considered a rather long-lived guy.

Wu Yi and Lai Min are similar in some respects, and now that both of them are basically out of work, and they are both from Dongzhou, they naturally feel that hugging each other is warmer, so it is also a good idea to bond with each other. It's something that happens naturally.

  After the dishes were served, the two of them ate and drank for a while, and then gradually began to talk about the topic.

  The left and right sides of the screen are also my own confidant guards. Unless someone is pasted outside the window on the second floor or close to the floor, otherwise in the noisy environment of the restaurant, even if you want to eavesdrop, you may not be able to hear it.

   "Tomorrow's expedition to the west..." Lai Min moved closer, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wu knows what to do when everyone is called together for a discussion." Now that Lai Min has no official position, he naturally cannot understand some internal affairs.

  Wu Yi put down the wine bar, and said softly, "The New Year is approaching, most of it is about business evaluation, next year's measures..."

  Lai Min pondered for a moment and then said: "Brother Wu has seen Liu Shijun recently?"

  Wu Yi shook his head and said, "Recently, Xuande has been around Zhengxi, so I can't see him."

  Lai Min took a look at Wu Yi, then lowered his eyes, pinched the chopsticks, touched the pillow twice, and made a thin and crisp sound, "So...Liu Shijun..."

Linxian Tower is one of the best restaurants in Chengdu. In addition, although Wu Yilaimin has no official position at present, he is not an ordinary citizen, so he is more particular about the tableware, such as the chopsticks used are made of ivory inlaid with silver. , and the pillow is also made of bronze, and there are even a few lines engraved on the pillow, which symbolizes gluttony.

   "Xuande always values ​​friendship, that's why..." Wu Yi glanced at it and knew what Lai Min meant, but the words of denial didn't seem to have much confidence, "It's not like that..."

   Lai Min put down his chopsticks, smiled, and said nothing.

  Wu Yi couldn't say anything for a while, and the two couldn't help being silent for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

The noisy sound from downstairs came up through the floor, and a few sporadic words drifted, like "Zhengxi", "rules", and "money", entered the silence of Wu Yi and Lai Min scope.

   "This... the way to conquer the west..." Wu Yi broke the silence, "What do you think, brother Jingda?"

   Lai Min smiled, held up the wine baron to invite, "Be humble in the lower position... this matter, hehe, let the powerful ministers discuss it..."

  Wu Yi also picked up the wine jue, nodded and smiled: "That's right... as the saying goes, what you sow will be what you sow... may as well wish the new method of Zhengxi great success..."

  The two looked at each other and laughed, then toasted and drank.

  …………………

War, developed to this stage of the Han Dynasty, has broken away from the pattern of knocking on each other with the mammoth's leg bones in the era of bones. If you want to win bigger and more victories, the decisive factors are not only in the battlefield, but also in the battlefield. Outside the battlefield.

With the decommissioning of time and the development of the overall society, the decisive factors outside the battlefield will become more and more important. The suppression of equipment, technical updates, and things like this will widen the gap between the two sides, and then force the other side to invest more resources. Consumption, and eventually it is possible to lose the entire battle because it cannot be consumed.

   Therefore, Feiqian's current strength is not only in the army, but also in the economic foundation laid down in Bingbei and Guanzhong. The combination of these soft and hard powers, the effect is often greater than the ordinary sum, just like the road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong was rough and difficult, and the Meridian Valley was narrow and difficult, but now after continuous mountain and rock blasting, even people are The difficult-to-climb mountain road has now become a path that can be passed by a horse. If it continues to be excavated, the traffic will become more and more convenient...

  The same is true from Hanzhong to Sichuan and Shu.

  The use of black powder on the battlefield is not always beneficial, but it is very useful for blasting rocks. At least it is faster than the original water and fire method, which reduces the difficulty and speeds up the progress of the entire project.

At the same time, because of the development of animal husbandry in Bingbei, more cattle and horses can replace some clumsy tasks, such as transporting sand, soil and stones, so the peasants under the conquest of the West can engage in some more delicate projects, so that they will not be in trouble. Spending too much on the clumsy things that are the most labor-intensive...

Perhaps in many things, Fei Qian has some shortcomings, not as good as those top-notch strategists and military generals, but in terms of overall control, there are quite a lot of problems in the operation of the office in later generations. In terms of theory and experience, Fei potential in the entire Han Dynasty is unmatched.

Just like in history, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang controlled Sichuan and Shu, that is, they only knew how to accumulate wealth like a miser, and then Liu Bei used the original Liu Yan and Liu Zhang to spend all of them. It is not clear how to use resources, nor how to maximize benefits.

  Sichuan and Shu are resource-intensive areas. If you want to get rich, you must build roads first. This road is not only the original official road, but also those unopened roads connecting new resource points.

  For example, a flower in a certain place...

  In the Han Dynasty, there was no such name as Panzhihua, but it was called Dazhuo.

  Fei Qian returned to the government office, entered the hall, and saw the newly built sand table. He couldn't help but put his hands on the edge of the huge sand table, and looked at the sand table marking the general orientation of the big ruo.

  Because there are many mountains in the Chuanyun area, many tribes have formed over a long period of time. As time goes by, some new tribes are born, and some tribes die. Just like Dazao, it originally refers to a group of Ruoyi people who lived in this place. It was once prosperous. It is said that at the time of its heyday, there were 1.3 million households and a population of more than 6 million. Then it was targeted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. So, in the sixth year of Yuan Ding, he set out to conquer the Southwest of the Great Han Dynasty, and completely bored this seedling that had some hope for development...

  Up to now, the Ruo people have split into the Bailang, Panmu, Loubo, Qingyi, Sanxiang, and Yanniu tribes, and some of them stayed where they were, while some fled and merged with the Qiang people. They are no longer as strong as they used to be.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the Ruo people and the Han people is not very good. In addition, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang are not very capable, so as long as these Ruo people do not come to make trouble, they are also entitled when out of sight...

   But the problem is that if Fei Qian wants the minerals here, he has to deal with these people.

   Recruit?

Logically speaking, the enmity formed during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should be dissipated by now, and it is almost dissipated. After all, two or three hundred years have passed, and how many generations have been lost in the middle, just like the Huns. Die, aren't you obedient now?

  Fei Qian walked around the sand table, and the candles in the hall were shining, making the light and shadow on the three-dimensional sand table change with the shaking of the candles...

  However, the living environment of the Ruo people and the Xiongnu is different. On the grassland, there is always a new generation to replace the old, and there is a big alliance like a revolving lantern. In the mountains, isn’t there a saying that there is no time in the mountains? Those who do not broaden their horizons are often bound by their thoughts, so it is not surprising if Zoren still thinks about the events of the past.

   Therefore, you should still make two-handed preparations now, after all, the iron mines in Panzhihua...

  Thinking about it makes my mouth water, not to mention those associated mines, I remember there are coal mines, granite mines, as long as you circle it, you can immediately build a blast furnace on the spot!

  So no matter what, here is the inevitable!
