Chapter 298 Two things

Runing City, Jiedu envoy's yamen, Gao Yihuan is sitting in the public room, giving tasks to Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng.

These two are Gao Yihuan, two scholars who were captured in Guide. After Luyi surrendered to him, one specialized in managing water conservancy construction and city construction, and the other took charge of the clearing of fields and other matters.

Now there are two people, Sun Yucheng is the counselor of Gongcao, and Yu Yinglong is the counselor of household Cao.

Gao Yihuan looked at Sun Yucheng and said, "From Guanzhong to Henan, there are two main roads. One is to go through Tongguan, and the other is to go from Shangzhou to Nanyang Dengzhou through Wuguan. This commander is going to send you to Nanyang Xixia County, build a simple pass city for me at Xixiakou."

Sun Yucheng also knew the news that the Qing army crossed the river from Mengjin and arrived at Luoyang.

If the Qing army captured Luoyang, they would be able to enter Guanzhong westward without any worries. Sun Yucheng was shocked when he heard Gao Yihuan's words, "Is Commander Jie worried that the captive soldiers will capture Guanzhong and attack Nanyang from Shangnan?"

What Gao Yihuan was worried about was that Li Zi was prejudiced that the situation was not right, and that the rogues' nature broke out, and they fled without a fight, bringing hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops into his territory.

In history, Li Zicheng took this road, entered Nanyang, and then entered Huguang, and was finally beaten to death by two farmers with a hoe.

In fact, when Li Zicheng withdrew from Guanzhong, the troops were still very strong. Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, and these generals were all there. Even after his death, the east and west routes combined would have 40 to [-] people.

If Li Zicheng fights with the Qing army until there are only ten thousand people left, then Gao Yihuan has no problem accepting him to enter Nanyang, just find a chance to kill him, and then inherit Lao Li's inheritance.

However, if Li Zicheng sees that something is wrong and rushes over with tens of thousands of people, I am afraid that Gao Yihuan will have to be killed by Lao Li just like Li Yan, and Lao Li will inherit his inheritance.

For this reason, Gao Yihuan planned to build a fortress at Xixiakou, and even sent troops into Shaanxi if necessary, captured Shangnan and Wuguan, blocked the roads, closed the gates for Lao Li, and encouraged him to fight with the Qing army in Guanzhong.

The situation at that time is like a robber rushing into a house from the front door. The host was timid and wanted to run away, but suddenly found that the back door was locked by a bastard, and the robber insisted on killing him. The cowardly host had no choice but to Give it a go.

In Li Zicheng's view, it would be too immoral for Gao Erer to do this.

Gao Yihuan also felt a bit cruel, but in Guanzhong, apart from the Guanzhong Plain, Longyou, Longxi, and Northern Shaanxi were not suitable for cavalry combat. not clean.

Places like Longyou and Longxi are poor, but it's not impossible to survive. Gao Yihuan felt that even if the Qing army occupied the Guanzhong Plain, as long as Lao Li had the determination, he could still last for a while.

Man, you have to bear the troubles you caused yourself.

The entry of the Qing army has a huge relationship with Li Zicheng, and this time Li Zicheng cannot be allowed to evade responsibility.Whether he is willing to carry it or not, let him carry it.

Gao Yihuan wanted to block Li Zicheng, but now that he said it, it was inevitable that people would think he was unkind and scheming, so he didn't explain, "Well, it's really just in case, to prevent the Tartars from occupying Guanzhong."

As he said that, he said seriously: "The commander-in-chief will dispatch ten fortification teams for you. You must investigate as soon as possible, and build the pass if you choose the danger."

"I take orders from a lowly position, I dare not neglect!" Sun Yucheng clasped his fists immediately.

Gao Yihuan nodded, "Then you go do it!"

After Sun Yucheng paid his respects and resigned, Gao Yihuan looked at Yu Yinglong again, "Yinglong, you are in Nanyang and Xiangyang, and you have done a very good job."

"Jieshuai is too much of an award. The humble job is just to follow Jieshuai's orders." Yu Yinglong stood up and saluted, "Jieshuai abolished the poll tax and only collected land taxes. The people cheered and supported Jieshuai very much."

"This commander is also picking up Zhang Gebu Yahui!" Gao Yihuan was a little happy in his heart. The ruler naturally hoped to be supported by the people, and no one wanted to be hated by the people and let them overthrow him.

Gao Yi laughed happily, and said immediately: "This time, the commander-in-chief asked you to come back, because there is something I want to entrust to you."

As he said that, he turned his head, "Take out the things and hand them over to Councilor Yu."

Gao Chengwei took out a wooden box and handed it to Yu Yinglong.

Gao Yihuan continued: "There are two kinds of crops here, one is sweet potato and the other is corn. This sweet potato is passed from Luzon. It is as big as a fist, with vermilion skin, crisp and juicy heart, and can be eaten raw or cooked. It is practical, has a large yield, and is resistant to drought and barrenness. This corn is also called maize, which is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica. It was probably introduced to the coast from Luzon or Macao. It is not only drought-tolerant, but also can be planted staggered with winter wheat Instead of crops such as millet, let some areas in the north achieve two harvests a year. These two crops can be grown in dry land, and the yield is quite high, and I plan to vigorously promote them.”

Yu Yinglong was a little surprised when he heard Gao Yihuan's words. He opened the box, looked at the two things, and couldn't help being surprised: "There are such crops, how did Jieshuai know?"

Gao Yihuan said that his mouth was dry, and he was picking up a glass of water, and just brought it to his mouth, he was almost choked to death.

"Uh~ this~ Ma Hongshan discovered these two kinds of grains in the south during the process of buying grain, and told me, so I spent a lot of money to entrust him to buy them." Gao Yihuan coughed for a while, explained, and then waved: "No With that said, let's talk about business!"

"I'm humbled to listen to you!" Yu Yinglong turned east and west and saluted hurriedly.

The idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor is mainly what Confucianism added to cater to the rulers. The real Confucianism still emphasizes self-cultivation and helping the world and the people.

After working with Gao Yihuan for three years, Yu Yinglong looked at the south of Henan, from a dilapidated state to the restoration of peace, and the people's happy work, which is equivalent to allowing him to realize a little bit of his ideal of helping the world.

He has also gone from his initial dislike to Gao Yihuan to now he supports him from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Yihuan nodded, "This time, the commander Thomas Hongshan bought some sweet potato and corn seeds from Fujian, and found two farmers who know how to plant them. Now the commander will give them all to you. You have to do it in the shortest time. Master the planting techniques of the two crops within a short period of time, and promote them, next year I will see the harvest."

Although it has just started this year, the seeds are limited and the technology is not yet mature.The climate in Fujian is completely different from that in Henan. This year, we can only explore the climate requirements of the two crops, and at the same time save a batch of seeds for large-scale planting next year.

"The humble official takes orders!" Yu Yinglong saluted solemnly, "This is a good thing that benefits the common people, and the humble official must do his best!"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, turned his head and said, "Chengwei, you arrange someone to take Yu Shenyi to see the seeds."

At that moment, Yu Yinglong also bowed to leave.

As soon as the people left, Gao Yihuan leaned his head back on the chair and pressed his head tiredly.

After allocating these two matters, Gao Yihuan felt a lot relieved, but these two matters could not solve Gao Yihuan's current predicament right now.

At this time, he had just closed his eyes and rested for a while, Gao Chengwei who had just left, came in hurriedly again, "Jieshuai, Jieshuai~"

Gao Yihuan was awakened by him, his eyes were red and bloodshot due to lack of sleep, "What's the matter?"

"General Wang Deren, someone sent a Tartar here, saying that it is an envoy sent by Duoduo." Gao Chengwei saluted and replied.

Gao Yihuan frowned, a little confused, what did Duoduo send someone for?
When everyone met, they just did their jobs, and there was no friendship to be reached. Gao Yihuan frowned, wondering, "Why did Duoduo send envoys here? Do you want to deceive me?"

　Thank you since I met your mother that night, Yanyan Beloved, Yuedong Woxin, lost books, endless rewards, asking for monthly tickets, book lists, subscriptions, and recommendations.
