Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 188 The Diaochan in Dress

Cai Yong once said in "Arbitrariness": The emperor's seal is made of jade and tiger.The ancients were respectful and inferior...Since the Qin Dynasty, the emperor has only used seals as seals and jade, and none of the officials dared to use them.

Therefore, if there is no seal book, the king's words cannot reach the world, and if there is no seal, there is a department's writing that cannot be transferred to the owner. This is also the case since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

As a symbolic item of a dynasty, the jade seal has already become a consensus from the public officials to the common people in the late Han Dynasty.The fact that Liu Xie didn't have a jade seal in his hands naturally became a proof of the decline of the Han Dynasty.

Of course Liu Xie knew that the piece of Lantian jade engraved with insect and bird seals with the words "Desired from the sky, long life and eternal prosperity" is not in Yuan Shu's hands yet.But for Liu Xie, that Sun Ce, who is only Yuan Shu's guest general, and the holder of the jade seal, is not yet his enemy.On the contrary, that fellow Yuan Shu has already started to commit suicide.

In the era of the third year of Chuping, the most dazzling star in the world was not Yuan Shao, let alone Cao Cao.It was Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu of the North-South Alliance.Needless to say, the White Horse General Gongsun Zan's power has already spread to Qingzhou.After receiving Lu Zhi's suicide note, not only did he not have any intention of serving the Han Dynasty, but he went more and more on the road of nouveau riche and never looked back.

He triumphantly appointed Yan Gang as the governor of Jizhou, Tian Kai as the governor of Qingzhou, and Shan Jing as the governor of Jiaozhou.

For Gongsun Zan, a brave guy, Liu Xie originally liked it somewhat.Now it seems that this Gongsun Zan is a guy who can't keep dry food in the kennel.Where is Jiaozhou?It's not the Jiaozhou Peninsula in Qingzhou, but the barren land in Guangdong and Vietnam.

Liu Xie sometimes thought about it, maybe Gongsun Zan really didn't know there was South America.Otherwise, this self-important guy might seal up a South American assassin.

And Yuan Shu was not bad at all. With his identity and reputation as the son of the fourth generation and third prince, he became the one who earned the most money after the heroes called for Dong. He dominated the two states of Jing and Henan. Yuan Shao, who scorned him as a concubine, was in a state of embarrassment.

However, with the death of his sharpest minion, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu has restrained himself a lot recently.But this kind of restraint does not mean that he just settled down. On the contrary, Sun Jian's departure just made him give up the pace of going south all the way, and instead planned to go north, intending to defeat Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to join forces smoothly in one fell swoop.

For such a protracted battle, Yuan Shu was no fool, he decided with a quick slap on his thigh.For such a strategic shift that he thought was wise and powerful, he gave himself half a year of savings and development.

And this time period is also the period of recuperation set by Liu Xie for the Guanzhong Chang'an area.

Judging from the historical situation, the Guanzhong area only has half a year to recuperate, and it is impossible to accumulate the financial resources to launch a large-scale war.This area has been devastated by the flames of war, and has been emptied and depopulated by warlords of all walks of life.On the contrary, although the Yuzhou area also suffered from the scourge of the Yellow Turban bandits, what Liu Xie had to admit was that the degree of harm caused by the amateur rebellious peasant uprising army was simply heaven and earth different from that of the professional army.

In this era, it is the most powerless and powerless common people who bear the brunt of wars and chaos.The big landlords and the powerful have their own Wubao manor and soldiers and bravery. With such a guarding force, unless they encounter the real main force of the Yellow Turbans in the tens of thousands, it will be difficult for the small bands of Yellow Turbans to break through.

So that after the Yellow Turban Uprising was quickly wiped out, the Yuzhou area was still considered a relatively prosperous place.In addition, no one's reputation in that area can compare to Yuan Shu, and this guy has never known the United Front. If he has nothing to do, he will borrow money from the big landlords and big tycoons with a shy face, and grab it if he doesn't want to.In this way, it will be another half a year for Yuzhou to accumulate wealth to launch a large-scale war, and the time is very sufficient.

However, Liu Xie has never been a master who does not fight wars and is not sure about it. Yuan Shu has his tricks to make money, but Liu Xie has a method of making money that is thousands of years beyond this era.He dared to clamor for half a year to let the Guanzhong area be repaired. There is no other reason, but because when he crossed over, he brought some crop seeds.

Liu Xie didn't care much about other seeds, but he treasured corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.Anyone with a bit of agricultural knowledge knows that these three are genuine high-yielding crops.As long as it is widely planted, it is very possible to change the entire Han Dynasty from suffering from famine and hardship.

Especially potatoes and sweet potatoes, these crops can grow in sandy and dry land, and the yield per mu is even more amazing.Liu Xie, who was a staff member of the agricultural base station in his previous life, once saw that the yield of potatoes per mu was five thousand catties, which was about fifteen shi when converted into Han mu.Sweet potatoes are even more powerful, with strong adaptability and can grow in any field; cultivation is simple, just cut a section of vine and insert it into the soil, and pour a ladle of water.Moreover, the harvest is guaranteed by drought and flood, resistance to diseases and insect pests, and the output is amazing, which is several times that of growing grain...

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the yield of millet planted in general was less than three stones per mu, and it was only achieved when there were cattle-powered farming and good weather.

With potatoes and sweet potatoes alone, Liu Xie was able to increase the farming output of the Han Dynasty by more than five times.With such an artifact that is almost like cheating, he, Liu Xie, said that it took half a year to restore Guanzhong to a level of [-], but he said it modestly.

A few days ago, in the imperial court, why did Liu Xie so readily reward the common people with the royal gardens on the outskirts of Chang'an?Because on that piece of land, Liu Xie had already asked Leng Shouguang to plant three crops, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.Ordinary people are not fools, as long as one person discovers the wonders of these crops, they will immediately attract large-scale promotion and planting.

At that time, as the imperial court of the government, Liu Xie does not need to deliberately show up, but only needs to issue an edict that potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn can also be used as land rent.With such a great feat of changing the world by moistening the rain, Liu Xie has truly achieved the sage state of "leaving the matter away, hiding merit and fame", and at the same time avoiding the trouble that he cannot explain those crops at all.

Of course, if there is no defect, it is impossible.Liu Xie can imagine that at this time next year, when the soldiers go to war, they can only eat roasted sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, sweet potato noodle steamed buns, sweet potato buns... Maybe, after winning the battle, can they have hot and sour potato shreds?
No, not possible.

There is vinegar in this era, but the cultivation of peppers is better in Yizhou.Not to mention, only he can eat a meal of stir-fried vegetables in this era, and the common people's home only knows how to make a pot of porridge to eat.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't help crying, what a sad world this is?

Of course, those soldiers might also cry. After all, for hundreds of years, only by following Liu Xie could they not be short of military rations once.

But all in all, all in all.That time is half a year from now.In the past six months, Liu Xie still has a lot of things to deal with in advance

For example, suppressing the annexation of powerful land, a big cancer in the late Han Dynasty, and this crux caused a series of complications that he failed to implement in a series of reforms.It may be a major event that Liu Xie will fight for for half a year or even the first half of his life. He will at least come up with a good idea in this half a year.

Of course, this kind of thing has to be done slowly and meticulously, as long as Liu Xie knows it well.The one thing he should and must do most now is a beautiful job that makes him yearn for days and nights but hesitates to do so.

Invite the beauties to dinner.

After hearing that Leng Shouguang said that Fushou had returned to her mother's house, Liu Xie made an appointment with Diao Chan to visit Chang'an City.On the one hand, he can inspect the business situation in the East and West Markets of Chang'an, on the other hand, he wants to use his beauty trick to extract Diao Chan's most fundamental purpose from her mouth.

Today's Wang Yun is no longer the obstacle that fetters Diao Chan soaring into the sky, but until now, Diao Chan has given Liu Xie information for free.Liu Xie would not think that Diao Chan would be a selfless gentleman. A woman like her, if she doesn't swallow you alive, is considered true love for you.

Not to mention, entrusting Diao Chan with Dong Bai's matter should indeed be cautious.

Just as Liu Xie was thinking wildly, the door of the Xuanshi Hall was gently pushed open by a bare hand.Liu Xie raised his eyes and saw a heroic beauty standing in front of him.

Diao Chan in front of her is wearing a crimson short-fronted bearded robe, which wraps her exquisite body in an extremely enchanting way, but the indescribable vitality on her face gives Diao Chan an awe-inspiring and inviolable sanctity.Even, on her head, there was an eagle's beak rifle, and she was as sharp as a general about to go into battle.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Xie stared blankly for a while, looked Diao Chan from head to toe, and then asked in a daze.

"Didn't Your Majesty invite Xiliang Brocade to go shopping with your servant?" Diao Chan replied that the ground did not change color, like a leftover girl who hated marrying for many years: "My servant heard that the Xiliang Brocade is like a beautiful jade from heaven and man. If you don't dress up, How can I get into his eyes?"

Yes, I forgot to mention that the "beauty trick" Liu Xie mentioned was not about himself.It's because for safety's sake, he even hooked up the real handsome Ma Chao.

However, seeing that Diao Chan really fell for the trick, Liu Xie suddenly felt sour in his heart. He glanced at Diao Chan, raised his leg bitterly and said, "It's just for shopping, and I didn't ask you to pick up customers. Why are you dressed so coquettishly?!"
