Zhang Xi was the one who came up with the idea, and Zhuge Liang had to do the specific operations.
Zhuge Liang was responsible for organizing and supervising the production and distribution of Qu Yuan Li, organizing counties to use Qu Yuan Li for spring plowing, and letting Sun Qian cross the river with great fanfare, dressing up Qu Yuan Li like a newly married bride, and sending it to Sun Quan. .
As for Zhang Xi, he continues to preside over the land distribution and resettlement work for the refugees, striving to have all the refugees registered as households, distribute land, and establish a fish scale atlas before spring plowing.
Everyone has their own things to be busy with.
He was busy from mid-January to the end of February. Zhang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally finished all his work and almost settled all the refugees.
At this time, Sun Qian came back from Jiangdong and told Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi about his trip to Jiangdong.
Sun Qian followed Zhang Xi's plan. As soon as he arrived at Chaisang, he started beating gongs and drums to attract the attention of the people. At the same time, he loaded up the Quyuan plow with eight-carrying sedans and went to see Sun Quan.
It's really not Zhang Xi's bad taste. The main reason is that nowadays, marrying a wife is the most likely thing to attract people's attention, so Sun Qian was allowed to do this.
Sun Quan was also confused at the time.
I heard that Liu Bei sent envoys to give him gifts, but I didn't hear that they wanted to get married.
Marriage is a big deal, how can someone just come to your door without saying hello? !
Not to mention Sun Quan and others, the civil and military officials in Jiangdong, including Lu Su, were all confused.
And Sun Qian's swaggering through the market has also aroused the curiosity of the people. These days, there is also no shortage of people who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal.
But when Sun Qian saw Sun Quan, explained his purpose of coming, and asked for Quyuan Li, Sun Quan finally understood what the other party meant.
When Sun Quan called the old farmer, and under the guidance of Sun Qian, he plowed an acre of land with one man and one ox, Sun Quan immediately realized what kind of gift Liu Bei had given him.
As for the Jiangdong Family, Huaisi Group, and the people watching the excitement, they were all excited.
Anyone with land at home can appreciate how much manpower and material resources such a good thing can save.
Lu Su immediately seized the opportunity and petitioned Sun Quan, saying, "Although this thing is owned by the Lord, I would like to ask the Lord to consider the difficulties in people's livelihood in the world and give it to help farming. The people of Jiangdong will be grateful to the Lord for his kindness forever."
The Jiangdong Family and the Huaisi Group no longer argue. They are all looking eagerly at Sun Quan. It doesn't matter whether the people of Sun Quan have a share or not. We who are ministers should have it, right? !
Sun Quan was not a fool. On the contrary, he had a very keen sense of politics. He quickly realized the focus of Lu Su's proposal - the people of Jiangdong.
Originally, Sun Quan was dissatisfied with Liu Bei for making such a fuss about giving gifts. He felt that Liu Bei was suspected of buying people in Jiangdong.
But now Lu Su's invitation immediately weakened the influence of Liu Bei's gift. On the contrary, it gave Sun Quan the opportunity to show his face in front of the people and win over the hearts of the aristocratic family and the Huaisi Group.
Liu Bei gave Quyuanli as a gift to Sun Quan, which meant that Quyuanli was Sun Quan's private property.
But now Sun Quan takes out his belongings and gives them to the people. This is an act of a wise and benevolent king, and it is easy to win the hearts of the people.
By the way, the Jiangdong Family and the Huaisi Group, as large landowners, will also be grateful to Sun Quan for this benefit. As for how much they are grateful, I don't know.
After all, Sun Quan was a heroic leader. Although he was a little weak in commanding battles, his internal affairs attributes were full.
He understood the implications of this in an instant, and Lu Su had paved the way for him. After thinking about it for a while, he acted.
First of all, Sun Quan thanked Sun Qian for the wedding gift, and asked Sun Qian to go back and tell Liu Bei that he was very satisfied with the "bride" presented by Liu Bei.
Yes, the first step is to characterize Liu Bei's gift-giving as a "donation". This can greatly weaken the influence of Liu Bei's gift-giving and improve his own status.
Secondly, Sun Quan named Qu Yuuli "Mrs. Geng" on the spot, and gave him certain prescribed treatment according to his status as the general's concubine.
Finally, the "Plowing Lady" was donated and handed over to people in various prefectures and counties to imitate. They tried to make it before spring plowing and distribute it to various counties for use in spring plowing with new plows.
Of course, after it was issued, this thing was no longer called a Quyuan plow, but a "lady's plow". It was a move by Sun Quan, the ruler of Jiangdong, to be benevolent and care for the people, and had nothing to do with Liu Bei.
After Sun Quan's performance of killing and beating, almost no one except the people in Chaisang City knew that Quyuanli was sent by Liu Bei.
Sun Qian really didn't expect Sun Quan to be so good at acting, and since he was in an away game, he wasn't here to cause trouble, so it was hard to say anything.
Afterwards, Sun Quan entertained Sun Qian happily and asked him to say hello to Liu Bei. Then, he rewarded Sun Qian with several bolts of silk and satin, and sent Sun Qian back to Jiangxia.
After Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang heard what happened to Sun Qian, they smiled helplessly.
After all, Sun Quan was a wise king and was indeed difficult to deal with. Such small tricks could be solved in a blink of an eye.
But no matter what, the people in Chaisang City knew that Quyuanli was sent by Liu Bei, as did the people from the aristocratic families and the Huaisi Group. Zhang Xi suggested sending some detailed work to Jiangdong to spread the word. Maybe it will have some effect.
Zhuge Liang also nodded in approval of Zhang Xi's approach, comforted Sun Qian for a few words, and then continued to preside over the work of spring plowing.
In the spring of the 15th year of Jian'an, no war broke out in the entire Jingzhou. From Nanyang and Xiangyang in the north, to Nanjun in the middle, and to the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia in the south, they were all busy with spring plowing.
This is a rare opportunity to recuperate and recuperate after the two years of war in Jingzhou.
Nanjun, Jiangling City.
Zhou Yu naturally also received the Quyuan plow from Jiangdong. After using this new plow for farming, Zhou Yu was very satisfied with this new plow.
In the northern part of Nanjun, the effect of the use of this new plow was not obvious yet, but in the surrounding areas and the south of Nanjun, Zhou Yu saw with his own eyes the cultivation effect of this new plow.
It not only has flexible steering and is convenient for farming, but it can also be used for deep and shallow plowing, making it suitable for both paddy fields and dry fields. It is quite good.
Zhou Yu turned around and asked who had presented the plow. He planned to write a letter on behalf of this person to ask for credit from Sun Quan. As a result, he learned that the plow was given by Liu Bei.
Zhou Yu suddenly felt sick.
Zhang Fei and Xu Shu are currently standing at the mouth of Youjiang River on the opposite side of the river, refusing to leave. I have sent people to evict them several times, but they have ignored you at all.
It's better to meet Xu Shu. Xu Shu will say, "I don't dare to specialize without the master's order," and then politely invite the envoys he sent out.
If he met Zhang Fei, he would scold him directly, and then order someone to drive him away with a big stick. If he ran too slowly, he would be hit twice.
Zhou Yu was angry, but he had no choice. He couldn't fall out with Liu Bei directly now, because the chance of winning was not good if he turned against Liu Bei.
The four counties of Jingnan plus Jiangxia have already surrounded Nanjun. Once he turns his back and attacks Youjiangkou, Liu Bei will be able to send troops from the south and east at the same time. Even if Nanjun he just captured can be defended, the losses will be heavy.
Therefore, although Zhou Yu was angry about the Youjiang Estuary matter, he could only keep sending envoys to urge Liu Beijun to evacuate and disgust Liu Beijun, but he could not do anything else.
But now, this "lady's plow" came by accident. After the spring plowing, Zhou Yu sent envoys again, feeling that he was not as confident as before.
The plow is really a good plow, but Liu Bei is really not a good Liu Bei.
Zhou Yu ignored Liu Bei for the time being and continued to preside over the work of spring plowing. He was busy until mid-March, when the spring plowing was completely over. Only then did Zhou Yu calm down and think about Liu Bei's affairs.
But this made Mrs. Zhou very unhappy.
Since Zhou Yu became the prefect of Nanjun, Mrs. Zhou brought her whole family to Nanjun and lived with Zhou Yu.
But Zhou Yu is really busy, and no one can be seen who is busy every day.
At the beginning, it was the post-war reconstruction work in Nanjun. Zhou Yu was so busy that the arrow injury recurred, so he had no choice but to lie down and rest.
But after the arrow injury recovered a little, Zhou Yu started to be busy again, this time busy with spring plowing.
And this time he was even more busy. It was clear that his home was in the prefect's mansion. After Zhou Yu had finished his work for the day, it would be good to come back and take a rest. As a result, Zhou Yu was discussing spring plowing matters with his subordinates almost every night during this period. While correcting documents, I even slept directly in the study room.
Mrs. Zhou thinks that her husband has really gone too far.
Well, even if I am older and my sex is fading, I still have my sister Xiao Qiao.
Even if you don't come to my place, you still have to go and see Sister Xiao Qiao, right? !
During this time, Zhou Yu often didn't go back to the backyard, which made Mrs. Zhou and Xiao Qiao a little depressed.
So, one night, while Zhou Yu was still discussing matters with his subordinates, he saw his two wives blocking the door.
The subordinate was very smart and quickly escaped after understanding the situation.
As for Zhou Yu, looking at the two ladies with serious faces, he naturally understood what was going on and hurried forward to greet them.
"How come you two ladies are here? You are busy with official duties during this period, but I have neglected you two ladies. Please forgive me."
Since there was no one around, Zhou Yu was naturally not pretentious. He went over to hold the hands of his two wives and quickly apologized.
"Huh, my husband actually knows it!!!"
Mrs. Zhou was somewhat arrogant. After all, she was the principal wife and she had to let Zhou Yu have a longer memory.
But Xiao Qiao is a concubine, so naturally she will listen to whatever Zhou Yu says.
"My husband is working hard, I shouldn't bother you. I'm just worried about my husband's health. I also miss him a little bit."
When Mrs. Zhou saw Xiao Qiao being so shy and ashamed, and surrendering so quickly, there was no point in being arrogant anymore. She glared at Xiao Qiao, then regained the initiative and started chatting with Zhou Yu.
There is only one core idea. Zhou Yu should not sleep in the study room today.
And Zhou Yu did not sleep in the study. He woke up in his bedroom.
Looking back at the small bed, there were two women he loved lying on, and they were sleeping together. He couldn't help but feel that he was ridiculous last night.
Thinking of him, Zhou Gongjin, who became famous at a young age and was handsome and handsome, but was finally trapped by women. He couldn't help but be tempted yesterday and did such a ridiculous thing... Uh, wait? !
Zhou Yu seemed to have thought of something.
