"Speaking of which, what's going on with Sima Zhongda? He hasn't come yet?" Xun Chen asked Xin Pi, looking at him strangely.
Although the problem of iron pots and kitchen knives has not been completely solved, it has solved most of it, so Xun Chen is still in a good mood. However, after looking around, he found that Sima Yi has not come yet. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Isn't this guy always in trouble? Are they all pretty positive?
"He went to the ranch for a field trip, but he hasn't come back yet." Xinpi explained, "He should have gone to pick up his wife. According to the celestial prediction made by the Gan family, it will snow heavily here soon. For safety's sake For the sake of safety, Zhongda went there to conduct an on-the-spot investigation, and also brought his wife back."
Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua arrived at Sizhao City at the beginning of the year. The three elders of the Yuan family had been hooking up with Sima Jun for so long, and successfully brought Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua to Sizhao City together, which was a big blood replenishment for Yuan Tan.
The Xun family actually wanted to pretend to be dead, but they were grabbed by the three elders of the Yuan family, and several people were stuffed into them, namely Xun Min, Xun Yu, and Xun Qu. Of these three people, Xun Min was relatively weak, and Xun Yu He is not weak in ability and can act according to the situation. The real strong one is Xun Qu, because this guy is equivalent to the housekeeper in the Xun family, and his main job is to manage the entire family.
It is not Xun Yu's management style that directly suppresses all the wise men in the entire family, but barely maintains a weak balance to ensure that the entire Xun family does not split and maintains the family's operation. Xun Shuang was also influenced by the three elders of the Yuan family. I was so annoyed that I sent Xun Qu over.
Of course, Xun Shuang was so annoyed that Chen Ji couldn't do much better, but fortunately, the Chen family didn't need anyone from the main family, and there weren't that many people available in the main family, so Chen Ji gave the three elders of the Yuan family a small The list is a favor.
There is no way, there are too many people who owe Chen Shi's favor, which can be seen from the time of Chen Shi's death. It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty that when Chen Shi passed away, He Jin sent envoys to pay tribute, and more than 30,000 people from all over the country came to make hemp. Those are counted in hundreds.
According to the literacy rate at that time, at this scale, almost everyone who could come came. There was a high probability that someone who could not come was because something got in the way, so Chen Ji was very tangled in sorting out the people he planned to use for education. Come out and give some to the three elders of the Yuan family.
Although the quality is far inferior to that of the Sima family and the Xun family, the people on the list given by Chen Ji can be taken away by the Yuan family without having to return them, and there is no possibility of being cheated. People from the Sima family and the Xun family are not white. If it is given as a gift, it is completely equivalent to renting it.
It will take a few years. When the territory of the Yuan family is stabilized and the Xun family and the Sima family need to be under control, the people who have been loaned to the Yuan family will need to be returned. At that time, the Yuan family may also need to send some construction materials. Arrange some people to come over to help or something.
As for detaining, to be honest, Yuan Tan was really drooling when he saw the pair of spiritual talent owners sent by the Sima family, but he didn't dare to detain them. These people are not easy to mess with.
By the way, after Zhang Chunhua came, Yuan Tan directly arranged an official position. It was impossible not to go to work. After all, he is also a possessor of spiritual talents. I heard that he is also proficient in animal husbandry. Madam, please save our half-dead Yuan family. Large ranch.
In the early years, Chen Xi handed over a large ranch to the Yuan family. During the handover, the three elders of the Yuan family collectively expressed that Chen Xi was really open-minded and thanked the country for its support of the Yuan family. The major families drooled all over the floor and watched helplessly at the state-owned ranch. The staff spent a year moving the ranch from the Tianshan area to Yili, and then moved to Eastern Europe to complete the handover with the Yuan family.
After the handover was completed, except for a few people who stayed behind in the ranch, the rest came back. Then the happy Yuan family began to lose their beauty.
I watched helplessly as the large ranch, with a total cattle, sheep and horse population of over one million, continued to suffer from diseases, deaths, and fat loss. It suddenly dropped from a million to a few hundred thousand.
At that time, Yuan Tan was about to vomit blood, and the three elders of the Yuan family were stunned. Didn't they all learn it? Why did it become like this in Eastern Europe? Is there something wrong with it?
If the construction of a large ranch was so easy, why would Chen Xi give Jiang Qi, Liu Ru, and Sun Ce all the power? However, Su Ze and others who were detained by Chen Xi had such great power. Even if Chen Xi knew part of the scientific process, he still needed to combine it with reality and the local people. It takes experience.
What the Yuan family calls learning is really just learning. There is still a considerable distance between learning and using it. According to Chen Xi's estimation, the Yuan family probably paid 70% of the practice fees for the large ranch he sent to get on the right track. , this time will take about five or six years.
Fortunately, Zhang Chunhua does understand animal husbandry. Jiang Qi taught her some, and she also taught herself some. In addition, Zhang Chunhua can communicate directly with animals, so animal husbandry is not very difficult for Zhang Chunhua, at least since Zhang Chunhua took over. , the Yuan family's large ranch began to make positive profits.
By the way, the position given to Zhang Chunhua by the Yuan family was called Sima. This position was regarded as one of the five sense organs in the Spring and Autumn Period, a senior position. However, Zhang Chunhua also served as the Great Changqiu Zhanshi. This Sima who stripped off some of his positions, for Zhang Chunhua It's just equivalent to a slight promotion.
However, Zhang Chunhua actually liked this position, because the Sima family's surname originated from this official position, so of course Zhang Chunhua was happy to accept it.
After taking over, Zhang Chunhua and the Yuan family began to clean up the Eastern European pastures. For Zhang Chunhua, who could almost communicate with most normal animals, the animal husbandry only required her to spend some energy and she could do quite well.
Although the Yuan family intended to use Zhang Chunhua to death, considering that this was the mistress of the Sima family, they had to pay more or less attention to the influence, so they also arranged manpower. With these manpower, Zhang Chunhua successfully controlled the Eastern European ranch. It started operating.
What the Yuan family lacked was experience in animal husbandry. Zhang Chunhua was like directly cheating and giving the standard answers. The rest of the people worked hard to record the correct answers and ran more errands. Naturally, the operation was very successful.
More importantly, it only took Zhang Chunhua more than half a year to successfully pull up the Yuan family's livestock industry, and successfully brought the number of cattle and sheep from more than 400,000 to nearly 600,000. Such an amazing achievement. The people in the Yuan family engaged in animal husbandry were stunned.
Of course, the transformation from more than 400,000 cattle and sheep to 600,000 was not born out of birth. Zhang Chunhua’s spiritual talent can only ensure that the general state of animal husbandry is in good condition, and will not make cattle and sheep more productive. That is Liu Confucianism is the kind of ability that only immortals have.
The extra hundreds of thousands are red deer, moose, reindeer, etc. that Zhang Chunhua used his ability to trap from Eastern Europe. So much so that now the large ranches in Eastern Europe have shifted from raising cattle and sheep to raising deer. According to this efficiency Sooner or later, Zhang Chunhua will turn the Eastern European ranch into an Eastern European deer breeding farm. More importantly, the Yuan family has no objection to this matter.
To be precise, the old Yuan family’s attitude towards animal husbandry has become that as long as it can reduce losses, it is a success. Previously, it was losing money every year, from more than one million head to more than half a million head. It was simply ruining my youth and lying to me. Money, but also took away the example of his own energy.
Therefore, facing Zhang Chunhua's development of a cattle, sheep and horse breeding farm into a deer breeding farm, the Yuan family is not dissatisfied at all. Just do whatever you like. As long as you don't lose money, you will be successful. Deer farming is also fine, and venison is Great nourishment, our soldiers under the Yuan family need to eat venison in winter.
So far, the Yuan family has rapidly transformed into the largest deer processing base in the Han Dynasty. The development model is very simple, just eating. It can be said that both parties are happy.
When Yuan Tan and others mentioned Sima Yi, Sima Yi had already picked up his wife Zhang Chunhua from the large pasture in the north, but on the way back, snowflakes began to fall in the sky.
"It is indeed quite cold in winter here." Zhang Chunhua said with a bit of agitation as he looked at the large swaths of snowflakes outside.
"So while it's not snowing yet, I'll take you to Sizhao City as soon as possible." Sima Yi tried to communicate with Zhang Chunhua as expressionlessly as possible, without any fluctuations in tone.
"Why do I feel that you are very happy? Do you think that I won't know what you are thinking?" Zhang Chunhua hugged Sima Yi and said next to Sima Yi's ear. Sima Yi broke the news on the spot.
"Go away, don't disturb my meditation." Sima Yi said with some disgust. Zhang Chunhua's restraint on him was too obvious, and he had an unusually good grasp of his psychology. He always returned to his comfort zone instantly before the death line came. , there will be no line-stepping behavior at all.
So much so that Sima Yi's tone of disgust seemed a bit like teasing at this moment. Zhang Chunhua smiled very happily and hugged Sima Yi's arm without letting go at all. He just nuzzled against Sima Yi like a cat. After a while, Sima Yi gave up struggling.
"Thank you. If you hadn't come to me, the road might have been blocked by heavy snow, and I would have been carried away by a bear." Zhang Chunhua looked at Sima Yi with a very moved expression.
"Will a bear pick you up?" Sima Yi suddenly turned his head and asked.
"Then I might take you away." Zhang Chunhua said seriously. The two sides looked at each other, and Zhang Chunhua smiled happily.
"I can't have this madam!" Sima Yi hadn't spoken yet, and he remained in the state of a clay sculpture and wood carving, but Zhang Chunhua suddenly said happily.
Sima Yi, who was thinking this sentence in his mind, immediately twitched his face, grabbed Zhang Chunhua with his left hand, and pulled him directly to the soft cushion. It was better not to let this guy talk, sooner or later he would be angry to death.
Putting his hand on Zhang Chunhua's back, Sima Yi knelt down beside the cushion and began to think about life. Zhang Chunhua, who was held down by Sima Yi, could only lie on the cushion of the carriage and open his teeth. However, no matter what Sima Yi said, he was as refined as Zhuge Liang. Practicing Qi becomes Gang.
What's more important is that Sima Yi finally got the full-armor fighting drill set up by the Sima family from Sima Jun, proving that there is no problem in holding down a big lolita with one hand.
Zhang Chunhua struggled hard for a long time, and finally found that her husband could hold her down with one hand. She immediately looked up at Sima Yi with aggrieved eyes, her eyes filled with water.
Sima Yi was helpless, not good at dealing with such strange creatures, so he let go and Zhang Chunhua lay still on the cushion. The two fell into a stalemate. Finally, Sima Yi sighed and pulled Zhang Chunhua up. He felt that since he married Zhang Chunhua, his sighs had changed. A lot more.
"Marquis Duting, madam, we have arrived at Sizhao City. Should we go directly to the house or to the government office." The driver stopped the car slowly and asked inside the car.
"Go to the government office." Sima Yi looked at Zhang Chunhua, who was holding one of his arms and trying to help him. If he was going home, there would be a lot of things to do, so it would be more reliable to go to work.
"Tsk, tsk." Zhang Chunhua mocked softly, while Sima Yi remained expressionless. Many times, Sima Yi couldn't figure out what Zhang Chunhua was thinking, which simply blinded him, a top-notch wise man.
When he arrived at the government office, Sima Yi discovered that Gao Rou and others who worked with him were not here. After asking, he learned that Yuan Tan had summoned them for a meeting.
Sima Yi has gotten to know Yuan Tan quite well in the past six months. This man may not be as intelligent as Cao Cao, but he is perseverant and tolerant. No matter how difficult the situation is, he can grit his teeth and persevere. He is worthy of his reputation. The overlord of one side.
"This is a secret report sent urgently from the Central Plains. We are preparing to send it to Xun Qing." The boss of the government office responsible for receiving the information handed it to Sima Yi. They were not qualified to open this thing. It was sealed, and Sima Yi's current position included intelligence comparison work.
Originally, it would not fall on Sima Yi. After all, Sima Yi was new, and this position was very important and involved the core secrets of the Yuan family. Generally speaking, it would not be given directly to a new bureaucrat. This job was for Yuan Tanli. The Lord gave it to Sima Yi.
Yuan Tan's attitude is very clear. What is the situation of the Yuan family now that it has been established to this extent? He can't compare it with the Central Plains. Intelligence and intuitive feelings are two different things. What is the difference? Why is it wrong? How to change this? The Yuan family We haven't even understood the first one, so the Yuan family needs a person who has seen enough, is strong enough, and knows himself and the enemy to deal with this.
This is also the reason why Sima Yi believes that Yuan Tan deserves to be the overlord of one party, because this kind of thing is simple to say, but just taking this step is enough to make the entire force think twice. It is precisely because of this that Sima Yi thinks that he has been recruited. It was Yuan Tan's personal order.
After all, in the entire Central Plains, I have served as high-level officials in several forces and witnessed the great changes of the times before and after the great changes of the times. I have a deep understanding of the gap between the local and the feudal forces. I have a clear understanding of Chen Xi's governance model and can stand at a high enough level. There are only a few civil servants who can think about this position, and he is the only one who can come here, Sima Yi.
In other words, if you want to compare the Yuan family and the local situation from a strategic level and make adjustments to the current Yuan family, as Yuan Tan wants, Sima Yi is the only choice.
