Governor please stay

Chapter 476
"Please look, my lord. The greenhouse planting you mentioned earlier has actually been used in all dynasties since the Han Dynasty. My subordinates have improved it and are going to try it out in autumn."

In the farm on the outskirts of Shouyang, Jia Sixie pointed to the canopy in the yard and continued: "Use bamboo as the frame, silk as the base, stick special paper on it, and apply waterproof oil, similar to bamboo umbrellas that keep out the rain. .”

So this is ah!

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, seeing that the cost of this thing is not low, and large-scale promotion seems to be of little significance.There is nothing wrong with not eating those out-of-season dishes in winter.

"Besides, you can't just build a shed in the ground to grow vegetables in winter. You have to dig a three-foot ditch and prepare a special place in the ground to burn horse dung and cow dung for warmth, or find a place with hot springs. , use spring water to keep warm. It takes a lot of time to grow vegetables like this. Those out-of-season fruits and vegetables will still be difficult for ordinary people to eat in winter."

Jia Sixie sighed, this thing is good, but it is difficult to mass-produce, and it can only be enjoyed by the powerful and high-level people of aristocratic families.

"This winter, find a place near Jiankang City and try it out. Sell these out-of-season fruits and vegetables at high prices to those rich and powerful families to enjoy. All the money you get will be used for military expenses."

Liu Yishou said thoughtfully.This thing is not very useful, but it is not completely useless.Those fat pigs from aristocratic families are always willing to spend money to eat something good.There are no green vegetables in winter, so I can get angry when I eat.Wouldn't it be great if some out-of-season melons and fruits could be served on the table?

I believe there are still many people who are willing to pay!
Hearing this, Jia Sixie breathed a sigh of relief.He was just worried that he had been busy for nothing, and seeing that Liu Yishou didn't seem to completely veto it, he put it down again.

"In the past, there was no salt in Shouyang, and it was inconvenient for us to make dried pickles and canned fish in batches. Now that the Lianghuai River is under control, these things must be kept on hand.

In addition, in the face of an emergency military situation, the soldiers fought fiercely repeatedly, and often the military rations could not be replenished, and the types were single.It is necessary to hoard some tea bricks and pine leaves in the treasury every day.Especially pine leaves, taken after boiling water, can solve the problem of night blindness. "

Seeming to have thought of some problems, Liu Yishou couldn't help asking Jia Sixie for advice.

"My lord, please rest assured that these things have always been prepared. There may not be much food in Shouyang's treasury now, but the subordinates have paid attention to what you said before."

Jia Sixie said cautiously, now that Liu Yishou is in charge of Liang Guo, even if he doesn't intend to make people look bad, there is an indescribable majesty in his words, which makes people have to be careful.

"I have always been at ease in your work, but the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ant nests, on the battlefield, and a small mistake may ruin the entire army. I also have to be careful.

How can the soldiers fight well if they can't eat well or wear warm clothes? "

Liu Yishou patted Jia Sixie's shoulder and said, feeling an unexplained exhaustion filling his whole body.

In the past, everyone was comparing each other, and people like Xing Gao and Ge Rong who smashed and looted all the way could run wild.But now the situation is different. The forces of all parties have slowly settled down, recruiting troops and developing production.

Finding ways to improve strength is what it should be.

Others try to move forward, but you don't try to move forward, then you will fall behind.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. In this world, there will only be one winner in the end, and the loser will end up with nothing.

When the basic market is not easy to change, the way to win is to do a good job in the details and accumulate more.Of course, Jia Sixie doesn't understand this truth, and he doesn't need to know too much, he just needs to do his job well.

"My lord, there have been a lot of treasury-related matters recently, are you going to send troops?"

Jia Sixie couldn't help asking.

He is not involved in military affairs, but judging from many trends in logistics, Liu Yishou intends to use troops abroad this autumn and winter. As for where to use the sword, it is not easy to say, and it is not convenient for him to ask.

"Who knows, let's see if Gao Huan gives me face."

Liu Yishou sighed, feeling aggrieved that he couldn't exert all his strength.

Marching from south to north is a "sprint" type of war. It is necessary to rush to the south bank of the Yellow River in one go, and then use the Yellow River as a boundary to consolidate the territory. Only in this way can we continue to attack north.

If the army takes Suiyang or something, it will stop, and a large number of soldiers and horses must be stationed to prevent the north from counterattacking, which is really not worth the loss.Regardless of the fact that Yuwentai can defend Pengcheng and Xiapi now, it is because these cities have been managed with great effort.

In Tongshan, south of Pengcheng, there are thousands of miners who dig copper mines and iron mines.The Southern Dynasties had abundant manpower on this line, and it was very convenient to replenish troops.If the army reaches Suiyang, where the walls are strong and the fields are clear, how will you deal with it?

So if Gao Huan doesn't come this year, Liu Yishou can only drive away Gao Aocao's soldiers and horses, like sweeping garbage with a broom as far as possible.Most likely, the opponent will leave an army on the front line of Rencheng and Yanzhou to monitor Liang Guo's movements, and then the other soldiers and horses will return to the court.

That's it.

"Forget it, none of that has anything to do with you. If you raise chickens, ducks, and fish, if you catch them all, the country will be strong and the people will be rich. Naturally, you can conquer Gao Huan in the Northern Expedition."

Liu Yishou looked at the busy papermaking workshop on the outskirts of Shouyang, and sighed with emotion.Now he is in the stage of accumulating quantitative changes.All kinds of busy farming and training, when the tiger is not out of the cage, the opponent does not know your strength and endurance.

When he was in Nanyang, Liu Yishou tried his best to avoid mobilizing the whole country, and he didn't want to expose his strength prematurely.

When Xiang Gao Huan really showed his cards, it was time to take back Luoyang and discuss moving the capital!Liu Yishou didn't want to play tricks like "competing in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and meeting his opponent" with Gao Huan!
"My lord, there is one more thing."

Seeing that Liu Yishou seemed to be going back, Jia Sixie quickly stopped him.

"Is there any difficulty?"

Liu Yishou asked suspiciously.

"My lord, when my subordinate was an official in Qingzhou, he was in charge of farming. In my opinion, there may be locust plagues in various places this year. The eggs of locusts around Shouyang have been disposed of by my subordinate, and they have been burned and buried.

But in other parts of the Liang Kingdom, the subordinates were beyond their reach and could not take care of these things.Do you want to call the Jiankang Center for these? "

Jia Sixie is still very down-to-earth in handling things, but she is a bit bookish, and many things are done silently like this, and sometimes she doesn't report to Liu Yishou in time.

"The first thing, I will assign you a capable doctor (official title) to help you record all these things and report them regularly. The second thing is to write a copy of the regulations on locust control to me , I will write to the imperial court again, let Changyou (Chen Yuankang's name) do it, and promote it nationwide."

Since Liu Yishou made his debut in Luoyang, basically there was war, or starvation everywhere, the fields were barren, and there were really no locusts!At that time, the north had stored grain for decades, which was enough for a while, and they didn't think about how to farm the land at all.

Now that I have settled down and have a stable territory, I realize that farming is actually not an easy task.These days there are no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and no large-scale mechanized operations.

Manpower, climate, water conservancy, and planting experience are most of the factors that affect land harvest.Of course, pest control is also a kind of planting experience.

"Okay my lord, my subordinates must take care of these things well."

Jia Sixie said respectfully.

Acting from top to bottom, Liu Yishou thinks about major events in the world, and his subordinates will work hard towards this goal. If Liu Yishou spends his days fighting dogs and cocks, then the people below him will also be affected.

Either collective fishing, or collective rebellion, or both.

Everyone under Liu Yishou's command sincerely admired him, and they didn't dare to think carefully.At least when Liu Yishou was still alive, they would obey him obediently.

Of course, whether Liu Yishou's descendants can suppress these people in the future is another matter, and Liu Yishou can't ask for more from his subordinates when he talks about what happened at that time.

"Well, this year is like this. Locusts in many places may be unstoppable. From now on, life should be tighter. By next year, we must grasp the matter of culling locusts.

In autumn and winter, many people will definitely leave their hometowns due to the locust plague. When the time comes, you should work hard for disaster relief and resettle those people well. "

After giving these instructions, Liu Yishou took Yuan Shikang back to Shouyang City, and there were various matters related to the autumn harvest waiting for him.There is no grain in Nanyang this year, and only cotton and other things are produced.The deployment of light materials is a big deal.

On the way back to the city, Liu Yishou recalled all the experiences from waking up to now, and finally realized why many emperors in history liked to be foolish and mediocre.

Because to be a competent or even an excellent emperor, there are too many things to manage, and a lot of energy is consumed every day, and there is no fun at all.

Life is short for a few decades, since you can't be a promising king, it's better to be a complete mess!Anyway, there are so many stupid tyrants in history, one more than himself is not too many, and one less than himself is not much.

With delicious wine and beautiful people waiting for you, you are either having fun or on your way to have fun every day. Isn't it beautiful to have such a happy life?

"Oh, what a miserable life!"

Liu Yishou couldn't help sighing.

Hearing this, Yuan Shikang said with emotion: "My lord's words are very true. A man is going through hardships in this world. After I got married, I feel that the fun and leisure are halved, and the burden on the shoulders is doubled. Every time I go home , are all apprehensive."

Why didn't your mother-in-law beat you to death?

Liu Yishou gave Yuan Shikang a weird look, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's really gratifying to think that you have made great progress."

……

Changsun Jian, Da Xiwu, and Wei Xiaokuan led dozens of soldiers, went out of Puban and headed eastward, along the Fenshui River, looking for the places marked on the map.

Within a few days, everyone found a big gap in the southern mountain range next to Fenshui.There is a flat road passing through the gap.

Fenshui is on the north of this gap, and there are deep ravines on its east, west, and north sides. The terrain is abrupt and precipitous, leaving only one road in the south.

The people on Gao Huan's side can start from Pingyang calmly, arrive here all the way, then pass through the pass from the southern road, and then go straight to the east of the river.

If you don't want to take care of the idiots of the Hedong clan, you can attack Puban Ferry all the way west, or attack Longmen Ferry southwest.Cross the river at any ferry, and you have already entered the pass, and the remaining obstacles are not worth mentioning.

Climbing up the mound of Yubi Mountain, Changsun Jian, Da Xiwu, and Wei Xiaokuan looked at the Fen River not far away, and their hearts were full of emotions.

"Liu Yishou is also a strange man. This terrain is superior, and it is a natural pass. If you build a city here, it can be said that one man will guard the pass and ten thousand will not be able to open it."

Changsun Jian couldn't help but said with emotion.

He had never met Liu Yishou, nor had he dealt with him, not even "struggling across the air".However, Liu Yishou's ability to point out the dangerous terrain here is enough to prove the opponent's ability.

"What do brothers Qingming (cousin of Changsun Jian) ​​think?"

Wei Xiaokuan asked calmly.

"This place is really powerful. Of course, Liu Yishou is even more powerful. Why don't we go to other places first, if there is such a pass in other places, if you can detour, then the value of Yubi is not worth a bit mentioned."

Changsun Jian said very conservatively.

No matter how good the lock on a door is, if there are other doors that can enter the house, then the value of the lock will be greatly reduced.

"So good."

Da Xiwu nodded, he didn't really believe that Liu Yishou could know the terrain of Hedong.You know, Liu Yishou has never been to Hedong.If the other party's suggestion is really adopted by He Bayue, then the problem explained behind it will be quite scary!

Now Liu Yishou is Liang Guo's son-in-law, the governor who controls the real power, and to put it bluntly, sooner or later he will be their sworn enemy.

Liu Yishou knows the terrain and people's sentiments of Hedong very well. Is this really a good thing for He Bayue and the others?In fact, if you think about it a little deeper, you know that this is not a good thing.

The three of them left Yubi Mountain and led their soldiers all the way eastward along Fenshui River to continue checking the terrain.Sure enough, there is only the gap where Yubi Mountain is located on this road, allowing the army to enter directly.

Don't mention the other small ways.Only the locals can climb through the mountain individually, don't even think about food and supplies.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the facts are right in front of my eyes. Liu Yishou is right."

After checking the terrain of the surrounding mountains, rivers and rivers, Wei Xiaokuan said helplessly to Changsun Jian.

"Well, it does."

Changsun Jian nodded slightly, his face sinking like water.

They were so lucky before, but now they are slapped in the face by the facts, and their hearts are really mixed.

The good news is that as long as this place is guarded, not only can Hedong be included under the banner, but also Puban Ferry and Longmen Ferry can be protected, taking the initiative strategically.

In the future, he can send troops to Pingyang at will, but Gao Huan has no choice but to fight back.

Although the worrying thing is a long time ago, it is not a threat for the time being, but when I calm down and think about it, it is extremely frightening.

Liu Yishou has such means, a letter can change the balance of power between them and Gao Huan, so what will happen to this person if the situation is difficult to control in the future and he leads troops into the pass?
"Now that Liu Yishou is full-fledged, it is meaningless for us to worry about these and other things. Let's tell the truth to the lord."

Da Xiwu said with a sigh.

Neither Changsun Jian nor Wei Xiaokuan knew how terrifying Liu Yishou was, but he knew it very clearly, and he could only use four words to describe it.

"I don't know if Mr. Su has persuaded the Hedong family to vote for us."

Hearing Da Xiwu's words, Changsun Jian murmured to himself thoughtfully.
