Fuxi was in high spirits and conducted one-on-one drills on boxing, swordsmanship, and marksmanship with the soldiers. At this time, Fu Xi's physical fitness had surpassed those of these soldiers due to his martial arts training, so there was no doubt that he would win. The soldiers cheered loudly in a dignified manner. Gao Xiucheng saw that Fu Xi was still unsatisfied, so he suggested that Fu Xi have a one-on-one drill. When the number of people increased to one-on-three, Fu Xi felt a little tired and barely managed a draw. Gao Xiu said sincerely: "My strength and speed can overwhelm them. When you have one against many, you can just attack quickly in one direction. This way you can defeat one and then attack the others. Don't worry too much about attacking in other directions, because if you attack in one direction, the enemies in other directions will be attacked." The attack is not as fast as yours, and it is far away from you, so the threat of attack is not great." Fu Xiyan said: "Teach me. Gao County Lieutenant, are you from a family background, or are you a famous teacher and professor?" Gao Xiucheng replied: "No way? I am myself. Just thinking about it and reading books, Lieutenant Li County also taught me a lot." Fu Xiyan said: "Good. If you study extensively and combine it with practice, you will be a good general. Come on, General Gao!" Gao Xiucheng said yes.
Fu Xi returned home and asked Wang Er: "How many people in the army have taught me Fu's martial arts?" Wang Er replied: "In Suxian, there are 5 people in the city defense army and 10 people in the secret army. This time Recruit troops, break up and reorganize the city defense army and the secret army, and the overall quality of the secret army will be higher. The second secret army infantry and the third secret army cavalry have not yet performed meritorious service and have not been passed down."
Two days later, the minutes of the summer grain harvest meeting in Wei County came. The average wheat yield per mu reached 85 kilograms, compared with 70 kilograms last year. Industrial and commercial taxes have returned to previous levels, averaging around 2,000 kilograms per month. The iron ore mining volume increased by 10% with the help of Master Xu Hui, and the pig iron production increased by 10% with the stimulation of new working methods. The construction of pig houses, sheep houses, and cattle houses was in progress, and a horse breeding center was also established, with pack horses from Wei County and military horses obtained from the Khitan trade. Major weaving factories are gradually purchasing the latest looms to prepare for winter production, and oil mills are replacing new oil presses to prepare for a bumper soybean harvest. The winter production plan is water conservancy projects: digging four large ponds, mining, peasant women weaving and making clothes, and children's schools.
July brings a lot of good news, Huang Xiyu, Huang Xiyue, Zhao Xiqiu, and Liu Xidong are happy, Gao Xichun is expecting a baby, and Li Xixia is also seven months old.
On August 1, Du Wenbai came to report that the amount of wheat purchased in the same county was much more than in previous years. Wu Shouwen, the king of Xiang State, intended to appoint Fu Xi. There was no special information from Hebei, Jin, and Khitan.
On August 8, Gao Xichun gave birth to a daughter, named Fu Wan. Fu Xi holds Xichun in one hand and Fu Wan in the other. She is so happy that she can't get enough of it. This strong emotion is intoxicating. The old uncles came to visit. Sun Wu held Fu Wan in his arms and sighed: "It would be better if she was a boy." Wang Er scolded: "What's wrong with the little girl? The little girl is daddy's caring little cotton-padded jacket. If you want the boy to pay back, It’s not easy, there’s a queue behind you, you have to have full confidence in the master’s strength.” Everyone laughed.
On October 3rd, the autumn harvest is completed. The average soybean yield per mu in Suxian County is 192 kilograms (a total of 630,000 acres), and the average soybean yield per mu in Wei County is 143 kilograms. Fuxi went to the capital on the order of the king. Fu Xi and Wang Er did not go with the large grain transport troops by water, and directly rode into Beijing with 30 people from the city defense army.
On the 6th, Fu Xi and Wang Er arrived in Beijing. They first stayed in the post house, and then went to the palace to ask if it was convenient to see the king. The king immediately said yes. Fu Xi went to the side hall alone to meet him. Wu Shouwen's face was quite haggard, but he was very happy to see Fu Xi and said: "Xi'er, please get up quickly. Sit down, sit down." Seeing Wu Shouwen's elder posture, Fu Xi felt warm in his heart and said with concern: "Your Majesty has been resting recently. How are you?" Wu Shou Wenyan: "The affairs of a country, and it is in the Warring States Period, there are endless things to do!" Fu Xiyan: "Uncle, please make sure to pay attention to rest, let the people below do many things." Wu Shou Wen Yan: "I'm used to handling light things as lightly as heavy things, and it's hard for me to do heavy things like light things." Fu Xi asked: "Uncle said it's hard to catch the big ones and let go the small ones, right?" Wu Shou Wen Yan: "Yes! Everyone has selfish motives. Miscellaneous thoughts, everyone wants to enjoy happiness, and they don’t like to have to work hard all the time. So I’m worried! Thanks to Xi’er’s good strategy this year, food production has generally increased, and the national treasury is fuller, so I am less stressed.” Fu Xiyan: "This is what I should do. How can there be a family without a country? Everyone should contribute to the country. I really hope that the king can rule the world and the world will be peaceful." Wu Shouwen burst into tears. The guards and eunuchs all rushed in. Wu Shouwen waved his hand to let them out, saying: "Xi'er, your father, I, and some old brothers are together with the heart of unifying the world and letting the people live a peaceful life. I worked hard. Who knew that after more than twenty years of fighting, I still couldn't let the people of Xiangguo live a good life, but instead exploited them for the sake of Xiangguo's safety. I feel guilty!" Fu Xiyan: "Thank you for your hard work, your Majesty. Wu Shouwen sobbed again and said, "Every time I see Xi'er, I feel guilty. Your father was seriously injured and died young because of me!" Fu Xi groaned. Wu Shouwen said: "Six years ago, our country of Xiang was very powerful. I wanted to conquer Anhui in the south, because Bai Chongxian, the king of Anhui, had great ambitions, but there happened to be civil strife. When the two countries were fighting, our country was superior, but unexpectedly the country of Hebei The old fox Yuan Quanshui mobilized the whole country to attack our army, and our army was defeated. Your father was seriously injured to help me retreat. My heart hurts!" Fu Xi said: "Uncle, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. I will take revenge in the future. ." Wu Shouwen said: "That defeat greatly damaged the vitality of our country, and the old brothers also lost their enterprising spirit. I can only choose to defend the strategy. Xi'er, do you know? After the sneak attack by Yuan Quanshui of Hebei State, he sent The prince secretly came to envoy, and the prince knelt down to present a letter. Yuan Quanshui said in the letter: "For the sake of the country of Ji, I have to attack the Xiang army. If King Xiang hates me, he can kill my prince to vent his anger. "After I read the letter, I lost all my temper. In troubled times, do you feel lucky or sad to meet such an opponent?" Fu Xiyan asked, "Did your uncle kill his prince?" Wu Shouwen said, "I We politely let him go back to his country and made a verbal agreement to establish friendship between the two countries." Fu Xi said: "Uncle is wise." Wu Shouwen said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. I will reward you with an official position at the meeting tomorrow to encourage all officials. ." Fu Xi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
On the seventh day, there will be a court meeting. Wu Shou's literary words: "Fu Xi, the magistrate of Su County, gave me advice last year and contributed greatly to the good harvest this year. Jia Fu Xi is the magistrate of Beijun and is responsible for Su and Wei counties." Fu Xi knelt down to thank him and said: "Your Majesty, I The county craftsmen have developed a loom, which is as efficient as four laborers and can greatly increase the output of cloth. Master craftsmen can be sent to our county for exchanges. There are also spinning machines to improve the efficiency of peasant women's spinning." Wu Shouwen said: "Okay . Prime Minister Fu Jun is dedicated to the public good and has greatly increased the national strength. The industrial and commercial tax in Shangshu County is exempted." Fu Xi thanked him. Finally, Wu Shou issued an order: "Winter is approaching, and Anbei General Wang Shiping is ordered to patrol the north." Wang Shiping accepted the order and set off immediately.
