Today, Zhuge Liang encountered many bizarre things, which surprised him.
Even to his death, he never thought that a talented person like Jiang Tuo would come out of the small Qingshui County!
Whether it was the newspaper or the mirror, he was shocked.
Therefore, in his heart, he did not want to disturb this paradise.
When he heard that Jiang Tuo wanted to provide food and grass for the Shu army, he just smiled and did not agree.
Because the consumption of a hundred thousand troops every moment is huge, and it is simply a dream to support it with a small county town.
He just took Jiang Tuo's words as a joke.
But now, when he stood in front of more than a dozen granaries, looking at the huge granaries standing one after another, even the air was filled with the fragrance of wheat, which was constantly impacting his cognition, making him open his mouth and say anything. Not coming out.
It turns out that the clown is himself!
Qingshui County is so wealthy!
Zhuge Liang rubbed his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. These grains are so spectacular!
"How?" Jiang Tuo asked with a smile.
Zhuge Liang turned his head, his voice trembling slightly: "You...are you sure you want to donate all this food to the Shu army?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Zhuge Liang couldn't understand, but he also knew that there is no free lunch in the world, so he asked again: "What price will the Shu army pay? In other words, what do you want to get?"
Jiang Tuo shook his head.
Seeing Jiang Tuo being so dedicated, what kind of saint is this?
Burn yourself and illuminate others?
Isn't this too great?
Zhao Yun also looked at Jiang Tuo in surprise.
Jiang Tuo waved his hand and reminded: "Ahem, actually I have a small request. When you see Zhuge Wuhou, you can ask him."
"What request?" Zhuge Liang looked a little more serious and agreed: "Contributing so much food and grass, no matter how many requests are made, it is still appropriate. I promise you, as long as the Shu army can do it, it will be done!"
"You know...the Prime Minister has written a list of military discharges, right?"
"What happened to the apprenticeship watch?"
"Can you add my name to it?"
"ah?"
Hearing such a strange request, Zhuge Liang was immediately confused in the wind. What does this mean?
It's that simple?
Just adding Jiang Tuo's name to the list of apprentices can be exchanged for ten thousand stones of food and grass?
This deal is too good a deal, right?
Jiang Tuo immediately grinned. He knew that the list of disciples would be spread for thousands of years. As long as his name is added to it, wouldn't he also be praised for thousands of years?
You must know that in the long river of history, most of them can only be annihilated. Those who can really leave their names through the ages are either princes, generals or ministers, or they have made major contributions.
And there is another kind of person who has connections with celebrities.
For example, Wang Lun, Li Bai's top brother, has become famous all over the world by relying on rewards.
Zhuge Liang bowed deeply and bowed his hands in thanks: "I will inform the Prime Minister later and ask him to add your name to the list of apprentices...not to mention yours, even your parents' and clan's. You can add whoever you want." You can add as many names as you want!"
Jiang Tuo waved his hand and shook his head: "No, no, no, just add me. It's useless if you add too many of them."
Zhuge Liang was really shocked when he came to Qingshui County this time. He discussed some details with Jiang Tuo and agreed that a Shu army general would come to hand over the supplies tomorrow and left in a hurry.
After Zhuge Liang left, Lu Qing sighed, shook his head and said, "Sir, that is the food we have saved for many years. Are we giving it away like this? Is it worth it?"
"Of course it's worth it!"
"Just because you admire Zhuge Wuhou?" Lu Qing was still puzzled and questioned: "You have to know that even if you give so much food and grass, Zhuge Liang may not appreciate it, but if you give this food and grass to the people, the people will The quality of life can be greatly improved.”
Jiang Tuo glanced at Lu Qing and said dissatisfied: "In your mind, am I so superficial? Am I so impulsive? Do I just rely on my own wishes?"
Lu Qing thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Fart, this is my decision after careful consideration!"
"that is because?"
"Lu Qing, do you think the Han Dynasty was prosperous back then?"
Lu Qing's eyes showed reminiscence and said: "Of course it is prosperous. Is it the land of the king in the whole world? Is it the land of the king? Wherever the flag of the Han Dynasty goes, it is surrender! It's a pity that the virtues of Emperor Huan Ling are not good enough." Loss will lead to chaos in the world and the people will not be able to survive."
"What do you think of the Wuheng, Xianbei, and Xiongnu in the north?"
"It's just a scabies disease, nothing to mention."
Jiang Tuo smiled, this is also the common understanding among Chinese people.
Because since the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing went on an expedition against the Xiongnu, and sealed the wolf as a queen, the Xiongnu seemed to have had their spines broken and would never pose any threat to the Central Plains again.
Even during the war-torn Three Kingdoms period, the Hu people in the north did not dare to participate in the war in the Central Plains. Even Cao Cao often went on expeditions against the Hu people and went to the grasslands to capture the strong men of the Hu people to do some hard work for him.
However, Jiang Tuo understood that the years of war had caused Huaxia to suffer huge losses. The barbarians were lurking on all sides, gathering strength like wolves in the night. When the right time came, they would pounce on Huaxia and tear them apart fiercely. Get a piece of meat.
"Barbarians are a serious problem for China. We, China, can't continue fighting like this, otherwise we will be invaded by foreigners!"
Lu Qing only thought that Jiang Tuo was crazy. What a joke. He lent the barbarians eight courages. Do they dare to invade China? Not to mention anything else, the Wei state alone can pin the barbarians in the north to the ground and rub them ruthlessly.
When the Hu people in Liaodong heard that the Wei Dynasty was sending troops, they would run away in fear and cry for their fathers and mothers.
"Sir, you won't drink fake wine, right? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Who drank?"
"Then you are sick?" Lu Qing tried to touch Jiang Tuo's forehead with his hand.
Jiang Tuo knocked down his hand and said helplessly: "After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, in order to strengthen his rule, he began to win over those proud nobles and gave them great rights. Therefore, the power of the powerful landlords has been further expanded."
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Lu Qing asked.
Jiang Tuo sighed.
Jiang Qing naturally didn't know that the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the darkest period of the entire Chinese civilization.
In order to win over the wealthy families, Cao Pi abolished the official position of Zhongchangshi. Now he could not supervise the wealthy families, and all the wealthy families were relieved of their restrictions.
Even in the end, the official selection system of the "nine-grade Zhongzheng system" was invented. Under this system, court officials were monopolized by the gentry and were hereditary by the gentry class.
There are no poor people in the upper class, and there are no noble families in the lower class.
Later, those aristocratic families colluded with each other and married each other, and took advantage of the common people's farmland as their own. The common people became tenant farmers and could only survive on the food flowing out from the hands of the aristocratic families.
The aristocratic families also annexed the merchants' industries and sent those merchants to the frontiers to make a lot of monopoly wealth.
They were even worried about the rebellion of the people, so they established a tribe, that is, a private armed force. As long as the tenant farmers dared to resist, they could kill them at will.
In the following decades, people all over the world were in dire straits and disasters occurred frequently. However, those nobles were kind-hearted and did not want to see the suffering of the people, so they led their troops to rescue the victims.
When these tribes have killed almost all the victims, there will be enough food to eat, and no major disaster will happen to the victims.
In this way, the once vibrant and peaceful Yellow River Basin turned into an uninhabited and inaccessible ghost land, with bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.
That was the pinnacle of the noble clan, but for the common people, it was an era of cannibalism.
The men built the city walls, and the women served as army rations.
So much so that historians lamented that the number of residents in the ten states under the jurisdiction of the Wei Dynasty was not as good as the people in one state in the past.
And it was not until the Five Husbands disrupted China that the era that brought shame to the entire Chinese civilization... came.
The mountains and rivers are dim, the sun and the moon have no light!
In the eyes of the Hu people, the Han people became edible "two-legged sheep". In just fifty years, more than 70 massacres occurred. From Chang'an to Luoyang and then to Yecheng, the trees along the way were covered with hanging people. people.
During this period, the Han nation's population dropped sharply from 25 million to 4 million, and it was almost extinct!
This is also the most tragic loss suffered in the history of China!
"The common people are the foundation for promoting social progress, and those aristocratic families will only eat like blood-sucking insects on this country... Therefore, we must win over the people and punish the aristocratic families!"
Lu Qing frowned. He couldn't understand it at all. Those aristocratic families were all educated and sage people. Without them to govern the country, wouldn't the country have been in chaos long ago?
My lord...are you possessed by a ghost?
What nonsense are you talking about?
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Do what I should do, I want to help the Prime Minister save the world!"
Lu Qing was speechless.
Jiang Tuo raised his head and said loudly: "In any case, the Wei State can only be like a dog and a dog, and Jiangdong is a bunch of rats, so I have to surrender to the Prime Minister and build this glorious country!"
