Three days later, in the Dong family ancestral hall in Longxi County, looking at the densely packed memorial tablets in front of him, He Sian sighed inwardly!
Originally, He Sian had never met Dong Zhuo, but after merging the soul of Liu Bian in this life, for some reason, the innocent smiling face in his memory often appeared in He Sian's mind!
The more this happened, the more frightened He Si'an felt! Both Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are extremely pure and kind in nature, and their attitude towards the people cannot be lowered. However, just because they offended a literary family, they can be said to be worthless! This is the case for me now in this era. Will it be as debauched and violent as described in the interpretation of the previous life thousands of years later?
"Grand Master... Si'an knows that the road ahead is difficult. He does not seek to become the so-called emperor of the ages. He only seeks to enable the land under our feet and these respectable and admirable people to avoid detours and be able to live a better life as soon as possible. Sian...an ideal life!"
He Sian whispered softly, as if talking to the dead Dong Zhuo, but also as if talking to himself.
After a long time, He Sian turned his eyes to Li Ru's tablet!
Li Ru's death was actually within He Sian's expectation. Unlike Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and others who still had family members alive, Li Ru's wife, daughter, and whole family were all killed in Li Jue and Guo Si's rebellion.
'Perhaps the only belief that supports his survival is hatred... You ancient people... Hey! '
Thinking back to Lu Bu and Guo Si's determination to die together and the haggard figure when he parted with Li Ru, He Sian's eyes became even more gloomy.
"Uncle, Si'an didn't have much contact with you when he came to this world, but... with your wisdom, you should have already figured out that Si'an is not the original Liu Bian. I don't know what Master Dao Zun or the Grand Master told him before he left. , or for other reasons, my uncle did not have any doubts about Sian's appearance, which Sian still cannot understand!
But... whether it was giving him a real jade seal or trying his best to help Sian seize Yizhou, Sian could feel that his uncle sincerely treated Sian like a family member... without any utilitarian affection!
Keep this in mind and never let Xiaobai get hurt at all! Please rest assured that my grandfather and uncle are in heaven!
Then he lit the incense in his hand, bowed three times and slowly exited the ancestral hall.
"Wenyuan, I've worked hard on you during this time!" He Sian said apologetically to Zhang Liao on the way back to the city.
"What are you talking about, my lord? If my lord hadn't taken you in, there would be no place for us in this vast world!" Zhang Liao replied.
"How about Marquis Wen and General Hua?" He Sian asked.
"Thanks to my lord's favor, Marquis Wen and others have moved all their families to Min County where we are!" Zhang Liao replied with a smile.
"Oh? That's a good thing. We're going into the city now. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss Marquis Wen very much!"
"At this time, Marquis Wen and Lao Hua should be at the location of Ciyousi, fifty miles west of Min County. Ever since the lord arranged this errand for them, Marquis Wen and the others have been very motivated! And judging from their progress, those fallen soldiers My parents and children should have no problem spending this winter!" Zhang Liao replied with a smile.
"Yuan Zhi, how about the follow-up food?" He Sian nodded and asked Xu Shu who was standing aside.
"Although Yizhou was plundered by Mengda, it is the land of Tianfu after all. It should not be a big problem to be self-sufficient with the remaining grain and grass, but here in Hanzhong..."
Xu Shu paused and continued: "Although Hanzhong has abundant food and grass after years of accumulation, it is still difficult to support Yang Huainan's expedition to Mengda, Wudu, Longxi and other places. However, it should be able to barely support the next autumn harvest. As for the future... "
Hearing this, He Sian frowned, but Zhang Liao on the side smiled and said: "My lord, Master Xu, don't panic. After next year's autumn harvest, Longxi should be self-sufficient!"
"Oh? Are you serious about what Wen Yuan said?" Hearing this, He Sian and others all looked at Zhang Liao in surprise.
Zhang Liao nodded and solemnly replied: "Well, all this is just because the Lord has a keen eye for recognizing talents and promotes one person! Duan Xuan!"
'Duan Xuan...could there be something special about this person? '
He Sian's expression was a little strange. He had never heard of this name in his previous life, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. But firstly, it was because it was not easy for Duan Xuan to take the initiative to surrender when Cao Cao's troops were pressing down. Secondly, because he He and Jia Xu were old acquaintances, and Jia Xu even personally asked for an official position in front of He Sian!
Therefore, after many considerations, He Sian finally arranged Duan Yan to be responsible for collecting prisoners and deserters based on the principle of employing people without suspicion and not using suspects! Of course, the most important reason why he was assigned such an important responsibility was to give Jia Xu face.
Zhang Liao, who was on the side, did not notice the change in He Sian's expression, but continued to talk to himself: "Originally, Liao also only regarded him as Li Jue's old subordinate. The reason why the lord made this arrangement was because he was best suited to manage the surrendered troops and prisoners. , but what was unexpected was that Duan Xiaowei not only managed the soldiers and ruffians in an orderly manner, but also proposed to use these people to be responsible for the farming! Liao also felt that this was feasible, so he followed the trend and handed over the farming affairs in Longxi to Duan Yan! Duan Xuan lived up to expectations. After receiving the permission, he not only humbly asked the old farmers about farming, but also taught everyone in batches. In less than a month, he distinguished which land was more suitable for farming and organized manpower. Actively cultivate wasteland!
And as confirmed by many experienced farmers, there will be no problem for Longxi County to be self-sufficient in the coming year! "
"Oh? According to Wen Yuan, Duan Xuan is indeed a talent. Where is he now?" He Sian asked curiously.
"My lord, you should be outside the West City at this moment. If my lord wants to meet you, Liao will send someone to look for him!"
"No, let's go there together!"
After a while, the group arrived outside the west city. Zhang Liao looked around and found that Duan Yan was sitting in a circle with a group of farmers, squatting on the ground, seemingly discussing something.
He Sian stopped everyone from making any noise, and took the lead to dismount not far away and walk forward. Seeing this, people around him also followed suit. The group of people opposite were too focused on their discussion and didn't notice any movement here.
When He Sian and his party walked in, they heard a young man talking beside Duan Xuan, while Duan Xuan was recording attentively on bamboo slips.
"Longxi has fertile water and soil. In addition to Xiangwu, there are several places in Ji County, Zhang County, Xixian and Lintao that are most suitable for farming. In the coming year, we only need to organize manpower to do more work. As for the reclamation of wasteland mentioned by the captain, it is very important. I agree! Let’s start from Chengji and Longxian!”
Duan Xuan wrote them down one by one, then looked at the farmer beside him and asked: "My father, do you think this kind of rice can be promoted in Longxi?" As he said that, he took out a bag of rice.
The old farmer on the side seemed to be familiar with Duan Xuan, playing with the rice Duan Xuan handed over, and said angrily: "The rice in the Bashu land looks fuller. In theory, it should be able to slightly increase the yield, but there is a lot of rain in Yizhou. The climate here is different from ours. If you want to plant it in a large area, I am not sure that you will get a harvest."
Duan Xuan nodded repeatedly, looked at the young man beside him and asked, "Derong, what do you think?"
The young man frowned in thought, and after a moment he tentatively said, "Why don't we try planting in Lintao? There is plenty of water around there, and small-scale planting can be used as an experiment. Even if it fails, it will not affect the next year's harvest!"
"Yes, Gu Ye thinks this is feasible!" At some point, He Sian had already taken the rice from the old man's hand and nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Duan Xuan was shocked. There was only one person in the entire western region who could be called a loner. He saw Zhang Liao standing respectfully behind him. The latter noticed that Duan Xuan was confused and nodded vaguely. Only then did Duan Xuan react. He stood up hurriedly and dusted himself off so that he could kneel down.
He Sian stopped him, looked at the people around him with a smile, then turned to Duan Yan, and said with emotion: "This time Gu Weifu went on tour, no big gift is needed, but Zhongming is quite impressive, he has outstanding ability and is still in a high position. It is very rare to be as humble as a valley!"
"Your Highness, thank you very much! You are just doing what you should do!"
"Zhongming, there's no need to be polite. By the way, this is..." He Sian looked at the young man aside and asked.
Duan Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly pulled the anxious young man close to him and said excitedly: "Your Highness, this is Zhang Ji, whose courtesy name is Derong. His family is quite well-to-do. I heard that Your Highness is farming in Longxi. He took the initiative to vote, donated a lot of grain and horses, and also provided many important opinions on farming matters! Derong, haven't you met His Highness yet?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ji hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed respectfully: "Zhang Ji, a common man, has met His Royal Highness King Hongnong!"
'Zhang Ji should also have a place in history. I also knew this name through game novels in my previous life. '
He Si'an was overjoyed, stepped forward to help him up, patted the latter's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Derong doesn't need to be polite! With Derong's talent, he can take the initiative to surrender, and he is happy to be alone!"
Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that He Sian was trying to recruit him.
"To be honest, I came from a humble background, and although I have some wealth, I have no connections. If Your Highness will not give up, I will go through fire and water for His Highness, and I will do whatever it takes!"
He Sian nodded, turned to Zhang Liao and asked, "Wenyuan, are there any vacancies in Longxi currently?"
"My lord, Lintao is short of a county magistrate!"
"What do you think of Derong?" He Sian looked at Zhang Ji inquiringly.
There was a roar in Zhang Ji's mind. Originally from a poor family, he encountered obstacles everywhere and had given up the idea of pursuing an official career. Unexpectedly...
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Ji ignored everyone's obstruction, knelt down and kowtowed to He Sian three times, and said firmly: "Thanks to His Highness's love, I, Zhang Ji, will live up to His Highness's trust!"
"Okay, okay!" He Sian said three good words in a row, and then helped Zhang Ji up.
"As the saying goes, one thing does not bother two masters. Since De Rong proposed the idea of experimental field, then De Rong will be fully responsible for planting the Yizhou Valley in Lintao! Wenyuan, Zhongming!"
"My subordinates are here!" Zhang Liao and Duan Xuan responded in unison!
"If De Rong needs money, food and manpower, you will give your full support. If there is not enough, you can directly contact Yuan Zhi and transfer them from Wudu and Hanzhong!"
"I obey my orders!"
