Chapter 95: Planning

Zhiyuan talked about expanding Pingyuan City and planning to open up wasteland and farm in the next year.

Everyone has no objection, even after going through the process of building Pingyuan City, Tang Tian and Xi Zhicai both fell in love with this process.

Ordinary people also got benefits, and the gentry did not object because it did not affect their interests.Generally speaking, Tang Tian has both sides, and he handled it really well in Pingyuan County.

Even in the office, Tang Tian used some talents from the country gentry, and gave them to Xi Zhicai for transfer.Teach, everyone is very honest.

Then there was the matter over at Shuanglong Mountain, Zhi Yuan directly told everyone about her purpose.

"Now that the Yellow Turban has been pacified, the external problems of the big man have been temporarily alleviated. But what comes from this is that in Luoyang, the struggle above the imperial court will become more intense."

"I believe you already know that He Jin is now a great general."

"The party ban on the gentry was lifted, and the emperor naturally let his relatives become generals to control the army. To be honest, the conflict between the gentry and the emperor has not only not narrowed, but has become larger."

"In addition, because of the chaos now, there are private armies Xiangyong in many places. I have so many people under my command, and there must be many others."

"I guess the emperor will strengthen his control over the army, and maybe he will set up a separate army and let his cronies take charge."

"The future will only be more chaotic. I will make one thing clear in advance, that is, the political situation will definitely be stable while the emperor is still around."

"But if something goes wrong with the emperor, the gentry will definitely find a way to kill the relatives and eunuchs. You know... the current two princes, one is only nine years old, and the other is only four years old."

"So even if it takes another ten years, the prince may not have the ability and methods of the emperor. Although I can't say what will happen in the future, we must secretly train our own army that can really fight."

"Soldiers are no longer numerous, but fine! I have a three-year plan, I'll show you later." After Zhi Yuan finished speaking, she took out a pair of bamboo slips and passed them around to several people.

Zhi Yuan originally planned to make a five-year plan, but it seems that Liu Hong has less than seven years to live, so he can only shorten the time. Anyway, Zhi Yuan does not intend to fight for world hegemony, but only to protect itself.

The first is the military:

"In three years, we will sort out and count all the existing soldiers, and select 25 soldiers, aged between [-] and [-].

The rest who are not fit enough or who are old are all used for farming.The main food we grow is wheat and small beans, and we will strive to be self-sufficient within three years from next year.

Tang Tian might become the shepherd of Qingzhou, or the governor of Qingzhou. No matter how bad he is, he should be able to get mixed up with the sheriff of a Pingyuan county.

So 3000 people were drawn out of them to protect the safety of Tang Tian/Xi Zhicai. After all, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has more than [-] troops. Although Guan Hai has some friendship with Zhi Yuan, it doesn't mean that everyone knows who they are.Now there are bandits and thieves everywhere, so we have to guard against them.

Yu She led these 3000 men, and among the 3000 men, there must be a thousand cavalry. If your riding skills are good, you will manage them.

There is also a need for some troops to be stationed at Erlong Mountain. There are not many people, but they must be reliable.Su You will leave it to you to handle this, and select 5000 soldiers from 500, all of whom are infantry who must be used to fighting in the mountains.

Finally, there is Pei Yuanshao, who is responsible for some special affairs as a personal guard, and is stationed in the plain on weekdays. 500 people must be able to charge on horseback and fight on foot when dismounted.

If my cheap father can do well, the people who came to Pingyuan must be acquaintances, and they should be the three brothers Liu Bei.So... it's relatively easy to get along with.

Hmm... These 500 people are also trained by me personally. I will tell you the method of training soldiers. Just train them to death.If the standard for a strong army can be achieved within three years, then the next three-year plan is to recruit 5000 people. "

It's not a problem for Zhi Yuan to get 500 personal guards, because she is also the postal supervisor after all, and [-] is also the maximum number of troops for this official position.

Although Anping Country is finished now, Zhiyuan believes that due to her contribution, there will definitely not be much change.It's not about believing in yourself, it's about believing in your cheap daddy.

Then there's the construction side:

"In three years, we will double the expansion of Pingyuan City, and strive to become a large city that can accommodate 5 people. If there is a war with 10 people on weekdays, at least [-] people will not feel crowded.

Then there must be a water well every 200 meters in the plain city, and public toilets must be set up near the inner and outer city walls.

On average, wells and toilets have to be drilled every ten miles outside the city, and they are managed by disabled soldiers on weekdays. We will study the treatment issue later.

We can do this first, and discuss with them after Liu Bei and the others come.

And now the population of Pingyuan County is too small, and most of the Yellow Turban Army doesn’t have many women (all of them died or were arrested), so I have called the nearby counties to see if I can buy some women.

Since other soldiers are messing with us, we have to give them hope no matter what.Therefore, not only must the army be built, but their personal problems must also be resolved.If you guys like it then, tell me and I'll be a matchmaker for you.

We strive to have two to three thousand children born in three years.Children are the hope of the future, if we develop well. "

Among them, the issue of military pay is not sure for Zhiyuan now, whether he should send food or five baht.It is very likely that they will be distributed proportionally, because when there are too many people, the cost will be too high... Otherwise, the kite would not be able to concentrate on farming.

Finally, there is production and construction:

"In three years, we must ensure that everyone is self-sufficient in food. Then in the second three-year plan, we can feed those Yellow Turbans who have made friends with us.

There are three main points. The first point is planting. Reasonable planting can save more space. This winter, I will study a plow, an improved plow called Quyuan plow, and then use cattle to cultivate it in the spring of next year.

From now on, no one is allowed to slaughter the farm cattle, otherwise they will pay for their crimes with their lives.

The second point is the problem of chemical fertilizers. So many toilets have been built in the plains. After the excrement is collected and fermented, it is mixed with water and sprinkled on the land.With fertilizers, the grain production can be increased by at least two levels.

Finally, there are diseases and insect pests... I don't really understand this, I only know how to prevent locusts, but it is also difficult.I suggest that in the plains and nearby counties, ask farmers if there are any earth-based methods to reduce pests and diseases.

The first three years were practice, and we are now crossing the river by feeling the stones.If there is an error, it will be corrected immediately, so that everyone can have enough food. "

Zhiyuan talked a lot, and finally said to everyone: "We are still short of people, the real poor families who can read and write, people who can go to the countryside and mingle with the peasants."

"Otherwise, with just the few of us, even if we run around every day, we may not be able to cover everything. After all, Zhicai and brother, I don't want to tire you out, do I?"

After thinking for a while, Xi Zhicai said to Zhiyuan, "In my hometown, there are indeed some scholars who can be used. Although they may not be very capable, at least they can be used..."

Chapter 96: Forerunners who died badly

Xi Zhicai hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhi Yuan, "I know a scholar named Chen Liu, who is about four or five years older than me. He has a very lazy personality. Although he once worshiped Cai Yong as his teacher, his nature is not like being an official."

"Cai Yong once commented on him as a genius, but this man is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his literary talent is also extremely high. But he doesn't like to manage others.

"Although I can write a letter to ask him to come over, I'm afraid I can't stay here for too long. I hope I can convince the other party and help cultivate some literate people. After all, I don't have much time."

Okay, so much has been said, but the name hasn't been said yet.Zhi Yuan was so angry that he was about to be unhappy when Xi Zhi smiled slightly: "Okay, okay, that person's name is Ruan Yu and Ruan Yuanyu."

Zhi Yuan has never heard of this person, but this person's surname is Ruan, could it be that he is Vietnamese?Ahem... I think too much.But what Xi Zhicai recommended must be a great talent.After all, what kind of people come into contact with what kind of people, how can Xi Zhicai know mediocrity.

In fact, Zhi Yuan initially thought it was that Guo Jia, after all both Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were from Yingchuan.Earlier, Xi Zhi said it was Chen Liu, so Zhi Yuan really didn't know who the other party was.

"Okay, since the other party likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, then we'll just satisfy his interest." Zhi Yuan frowned and thought.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, probably only chess and paper kites can deal with it.After all, she can tell a lot of novels, and the four major classics are all loose...but it is definitely enough to fool people.And chess...

At present, the chess most literati play is Go, which is called "Yi". Zhiyuan is considering whether to invent chess.In ancient China, there was a chess similar to chess, named "Liu Bo", but it was very different from modern chess, and it was not the same thing.

It really doesn't work...get out the military flag and checkers.Since the scribe wanted to play, Zhiyuan had to play tricks to accompany him.Zhi Yuan was able to recognize the strength of this group of literati, even if they were second-rate or third-rate scribes, they could manage a county.

So even if Zhiyuan has never heard of this person's name, she must treat her sincerely.Among other things, Zhiyuan took in so many orphans from the Yellow Turban Army, at least someone taught them how to read, right?

Then Xi Zhicai planned to talk to Zhiyuan alone, Zhiyuan nodded and sent the others away.Before leaving, Tang Tian said to Zhi Yuan: "After you finish talking, sister, you can go to my side and find me. I have something to tell you."

"...What's wrong, everyone is mysterious." Zhi Yuan was speechless.

After everyone left, Xi Zhi sat on a chair and drank tea.Hmm... Hu chairs have become popular here.

"Girl, the Danshen you mentioned, Sanqi, I have asked Yingchuan to get it. As for the borneol, I also sent someone to search for it. I guess we will get news in a few days."

"But to be honest, the girl is indeed a great talent, but it's a pity that she is not a man. Today's situation in the world, the girl sees the situation more clearly than I see Zhicai. So please allow me to ask, what is the girl's plan in the future?"

Zhi Yuan was stunned when she heard this sentence, and then she understood what Xi Zhicai meant.Zhi Yuan's answer now represents whether Xi Zhicai can serve her in the future.If Zhiyuan can't give Xi Zhicai a satisfactory answer, then after Zhiyuan cures Xi Zhicai's illness, Xi Zhicai may also switch to others.

Or... Xi Zhicai might refuse to let Zhiyuan heal him.It's better to use your short time to seek refuge in Mingzhu and do a real career.

Zhiyuan smiled wryly, then she turned serious and bowed to Xi Zhicai. "Okay, since brother Xi asked, let's talk about it, younger sister."

"My ambition... Maybe you also know the consequences of chaos in the world. But I am not interested in many things. I just want to make ordinary people live better."

"I remember what I said, the reason for the Yellow Turban Rebellion. There is also the struggle between the gentry and the emperor's imperial power... If there is a day, I would like to be a king and giant, and use my blood to carry out a real reform on the land of the big man .”

Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.After a while, Xi Zhi suddenly smiled: "I am also a noble family, and you are also a noble family. Even if we are poor now, we can at least become a thousand-year-old family."

Zhiyuan suddenly said seriously:

"He Wang Jujun is also a gentry... That's why we know the great harm of the gentry and the powerful. Originally, the land of the peasants was controlled by the gentry, and the money and food originally given to the country naturally went to the pockets of the gentry."

"And how many people in the gentry would treat civilians as human beings? Since we are all from the gentry, think about what life those slaves live on weekdays?"

"King Chen Sheng once said that princes and generals Xiangning have kindred, but if you think about it carefully, doesn't the gentry have kindness now? I brought back so many children and women... If I didn't bring them Come back, you know better than I what their consequences will be."

"What I want to do... is to feed them all without too much oppression. All children can read and everyone can read. The country selects officials based on ability, not through the gentry recommend."

"Let these ordinary people who don't have enough to eat, be able to be like the children of the Shijia to some extent, it's fair...that's all."

"Brother, if you don't dare, I don't have to force you. I said that your illness can't be cured, but it shouldn't be a problem to ease your life for decades. After I prepare the medicine, I will give you the formula. When the time comes, go Just leave brother to decide for himself."

Xi Zhicai was dumbfounded, and then burst out laughing. "Crazy...you are worthy of being a tiger girl, aren't you afraid of dying like that Emperor Jianxing?"

"People always have a little ideal. Maybe you think my idea is the benevolence of a woman. After all, what does the life and death of those common people have to do with our gentry, why would I betray my own interests."

"But... water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat. Those gentry who tried to control the civilians by means of oppression will sooner or later be overthrown by those civilians. This time the Yellow Turban rebellion, many gentry have died in the chaos Down."

"Although this was caused by them alone, they have also tasted the bitter fruit. Contradictions will accumulate hatred. This failure is just a release of hatred. Maybe there will be a second or third civilian resistance in the future."

"In this way, more people will die... If the gentry oppression that oppresses the common people is lifted as soon as possible, many fewer people will die in the future. I am just... just a pioneer."

"The last forerunner has died a terrible death, so I also want to see if it will be the same in the future. As for your question, I can answer it for you, and I will find a wise master to take refuge in."

"If the world is in chaos, then I will find a master. Whether it is to restore the Han Dynasty or establish a new dynasty, as long as I can realize my ideals, I will do my best to help him."

Zhiyuan smiled lightly. This was probably the first time she had spoken her heart to someone in the long time since she came to the end of Han Dynasty.

Xi Zhicai nodded: "Okay, then I'll see... what kind of person is Mingzhu you chose."

Chapter 97: Hidden Diseases

Xi Zhicai still agreed to follow Zhiyuan, because he wanted to see what kind of protagonist Zhiyuan could choose.

Zhi Yuan's thoughts are too much, although Xi Zhi can understand what Zhi Yuan said, but it doesn't mean he can fully accept it.Is it possible that the gentry has no benefit to the country at all, and we can't push all the problems of the big man to the gentry, right?

But Xi Zhicai also wanted to know what Zhiyuan, a woman, would do.At least in the past few months, I have built Pingyuan County well.No matter where he went, he was greeted and respected by the common people.

This feeling also makes him quite enjoyable, and perhaps it is not unacceptable to serve civilians.

After Zhiyuan left, she went to look for her brother again. There were so many things to do this day, Zhiyuan was a little sleepy.

Tang Tian's house is in a civilian area, and he was made very close to the people by the kite, so his office is in a civilian area.At present, there is no way to pick up lost things here, there are no hooligans at all, and many people even chat in a small square at night.

Tang Tian's place is not difficult to find, it is the first family.There is a small brazier inside, and it is not too cold now, so the house is very warm when it is heated by fire.

"My sister is here. I heard people say that you have not been easy these few months. Fortunately, you have returned safely." Tang Tian brought Zhi Yuan a pot of hot water.

Zhi Yuan smiled: "Brother has worked so hard. It took just a few months to resume production in Pingyuan. Did my brother come to me to ask me how to proceed next?"

"No... Actually, I want to ask you, you should have met a lot of heroes along the way, is there anyone you can admire?" As soon as Tang Tian said this, Zhi Yuan suddenly became embarrassed.

"Brother, how do you say this? Don't you want to marry me?" Zhiyuan is really helpless. In her previous world, she was only considered a leftover woman when she was around 30 years old. In this world, someone urged her to marry her at the age of 14. married.

Tang Tian made a helpless expression: "After all, this is what it should be. I am also afraid of your personality. After you get older, no one really wants you."

Zhiyuan covered her face: "No one wants better, I want a career, not a man!"

Tang Tian sighed, and then asked Zhi Yuan again: "Sister, tell me the truth, haven't you come to Tiankui yet?"

Zhiyuan's face turned red, of course she knew that it was abnormal that she didn't come to Tiankui.But she had been fighting every day recently, so she had already forgotten about this kind of thing.

But now when my brother asked, Zhi Yuan could only nod: "Yes...not yet. But I think it's better not to come, otherwise how would I go out to fight?"

"Hey, no wonder you are not interested in men. This may also be a disease. After all, if girls don't come to Tiankui, they are stone girls."

"Tomorrow, I will take you to the people here to have a look, even if you don't like men, you should take a look, lest you have some hidden diseases..."

Zhiyuan frowned, but finally nodded and said, "Then brother Yi..."

Speaking of which, Zhiyuan also felt that she should take a look, after all, her body was abnormal.Not coming to Tiankui means infertility, which is indifferent to Zhiyuan.But... if there are other problems, wouldn't it be troublesome.

But... there is a really troublesome problem, and doctors of this era can't solve it.

Zhiyuan was very worried, and was arrested by her brother to see a doctor the next day. She was a doctor in Pingyuan County...

The walking doctor probably means this.During the Han Dynasty, the names of doctors were very confusing, and there were many names... Doctors and doctors were not popular until after the Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, most of them are called doctors, those who treat trauma are called Jinchuang doctors, those who treat sudden diseases are called disease doctors, and so on.Especially in the countryside, there is no clear name.

Well... If it wasn't for her brother calling him a doctor, Zhi Yuan would have thought it was a fortune teller.

On the contrary, it was the medical officer who saw Tang Tian's enthusiasm, and it seemed that he was taken in by Tang Tian before he came to Pingyuan County.

Tang Tian briefly explained the matter, and then the medical officer looked at Zhiyuan. "It turned out to be Tiger Girl... Come and give me your hand..."

Zhiyuan covered her face again, feeling that now her name is well known in Pingyuan.She passed her left hand over, with very slender fingers.
