Chapter 213 Chen Long’s worries
The feelings of a young man are nothing but dreams, and the thoughts of a girl are always poetry. ----------Anonymous
It is said that Chen Long thought of Cai Yan, worried about him, and had trouble sleeping and eating. If other heroes see it, they will definitely think it is Chen Long's biggest weakness. Indeed, Chen Long is too emotional, and it will inevitably disturb the minds of Chen Long's family. In any case, Chen Long cannot do what Liu Bei said: "A wife is like clothes."
Chen Long himself knew that when he came to the Three Kingdoms era, he was not only looking for heroic commanders on the battlefield, but also to rescue those ill-fated beauties of the Three Kingdoms. And countless beauties in the Three Kingdoms all had tragic fates. Even the ones in Jiangdong who had better fates, such as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, all became widows at a young age. Sun Shangxiang was even more unfortunate because she married into a political marriage. He fell in love with the ruthless Liu Xuande.
Therefore, saving the beautiful woman is an important task for Chen Long when he came to the Three Kingdoms. If the beautiful woman can fall in love with him, he will never refuse to marry her home. Of course, if a beautiful woman likes her generals, she would be more than happy to ask for them. If beautiful women are likely to marry their enemies or careerists, they must use their foresight to find them and see if they can change their fate. There is nothing better than meeting them early and getting to know each other early. As for my lack of skills, I couldn't care about so much. After all, in that era, only I really knew how to respect women, not even Zhao Yun and Guo Jia. The only regret is that I have never understood the relationship between the reproductive system and time travel. Having no children is a huge blow to the beauties of the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, I have to fight abroad for years, and my wives at home don’t talk about it. What do I think in my heart? Yes. Don't you feel lonely and unhappy?
Chen Long thought about it and made a bold decision, that is, every time he goes out to do business or fight in the future, he must take his wife with him. With his own protection and that of the special forces, safety is not a problem, and he can escape with his life even in the worst case. The most important thing is to let them take turns enjoying their husband's company and joy. This is a complete life, isn't it?
Zhuge and Yueying's affairs have been arranged well, and there is a lot of joy in the city lord's palace. Jingzhou also needs time to recuperate and reorganize the army. North of the Yangtze River, Chen Long doesn't want to raise troops for the time being. What's more, Yuan Shu is going against the grain and the conflict with the northern heroes is getting deeper and deeper, which may lead to the second story of the heroes challenging Dong. Of course, Chen Long wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight first, not to mention Chen Long. When Long Huan wanted to take advantage of Yuan Shu's defeat, he took over Wancheng from Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.
South of the Yangtze River, Liu Biao led his generals and led troops to build the city of Hankou. It also took time to stabilize before he could control the Yangtze River for Chen Long and suppress the Jiangxia navy. As for Liu Biao, Chen Long wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to watch his performance in order to decide his future. The defenses of each city were also strong, the Cai family was appeased, Liu Cong was still under control, and they were not afraid of Liu Biao surrendering the enemy.
Under Liu Biao, the Cai family was able to stay in Jiangling, and it can be said that it has gradually been divided. Chen Long slowly allowed the Cai family's children to enter the political groups of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, removing the shadow of the Liu family, and the Cai family still wanted to develop under Chen Long. The same goes for other families. Although some generals are still in Liu Biao's army, the family has begun to enter Chen Long's political and military group. Once Liu Biao cannot attack Jiangxia for a long time and Hankou City shows its scale, the leaders of Hankou Army will naturally be Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. With Xi Zhicai, Liu Biao would be transferred to Qiongya at that time, completely erasing his power from Jingzhou.
As for the relationship between the gentry and the common people, it has always been a pain in Chen Long's heart, and it cannot be changed at once. When it comes to land interests, Chen Long cannot carry out drastic land system reforms. If the gentry loses too many interests, I am afraid that I will lose the support and it will be difficult to unify quickly in that era. In the end, I and the people will be wiped out in the flames of war. After repeated consideration, Chen Long adopted a compromise approach. He first encouraged the people at the bottom and refugees to develop wasteland and mountainous land. Whoever developed these ownerless lands would belong to them. According to the household registration, the area per capita should not exceed 300 feet, and those with land would be given to them. The title of farmer is subject to transaction tax or government subsidies in disaster years. As long as local officials judged them to be good productive citizens, they would receive a stable supply of land and food rations. It can be said that as long as they work hard, they can enjoy food and clothing.
As for the fertile land controlled by large households, they still acquiesce in the existence of tenants and are given the title of landless peasants, but they enjoy the wages set by the government, which are paid by large households according to the wages corresponding to different types of work. The government organizes working groups to supervise large households. In this way, tenants will avoid being overly exploited by landlords, their lives will no longer be too difficult, and class conflicts will not reach an acute level. As the general person in charge of this work, it can be said that Jiang Wan personally determined the detailed rules, took care of everything, severely punished corruption, and gave people a way to complain. He was completely the image of a future prime minister.
The wealthy families knew very well what a man Chen Long was, and they did not dare to make mistakes. They restrained the behavior of their children one after another, and their own family rules became stricter. This caused many dandy children to complain endlessly, so they had to gradually stop bullying the people. The most famous cases here involve the Xi family and the Cai family respectively. After Jiang Wan severely punished a few minor characters, the families became more restrained and temporarily lived in peace. The people had a way to survive, and the population gradually increased to more than fifty. There are four large cities in Jingzhou with a population of 10,000, namely Lingling, Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Changsha.
As for the navy, Gan Ning, as the commander-in-chief, was stationed in Fancheng and was responsible for establishing the navy stronghold between Xiangyang and Fancheng. The daily training was handed over to Zhu Huan, who also officially became the general in charge of one side. The division level of the Xiangfan Navy Deputy Commander. Huang Zhong's main naval force was trained by Yang Huai as deputy commander. It was based in Hankou City and worked with the former Liu Biao Navy to maintain the Yangtze River waterway and suppress the Jiangxia navy. Jiangling Navy, with Lu Su as commander and Gao Pei as deputy commander, responsible for training. Cai Zhong and Cai He, children of the Cai family, also entered the senior ranks of the navy, and the shipbuilding base was also moved to the Jiangling Yangtze River section, which was unified by Lu Su In charge, Samoko's Fifth Army was officially stationed in Jiangling.
With the prosperity of Jiangling and Xiangyang, the days passed quickly. On this day, after Chen Long gave Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying a chemistry class, he finally got some free time and rode a flying dragon horse for a long circle by the river. There was only one person behind him. I took Lu Chang with me. After the flying dragon horse had a good time, Lu Chang was pulled out of sight. Chen Long stood by the river for a long time. From a distance, he saw Lu Chang's horse running towards him, puffing out white air. He suddenly remembered the time in Luoyang where he and Lu Chang were going through life and death.
When I think of Luoyang, I naturally think of Cao Cao and Cai Wenji. After a quick calculation, Cai Yan was only a few months away from giving birth. The weather is getting hotter and Jingzhou has stabilized. It's time to go north to see Cai Yan. By the way, we can go to Chang'an to see the progress of our good brother Huang Gai. There is also a group of royalists, and I have to win their hearts this time and let them understand what it means to give power to the people.
Cai Yan, who had become Chen Long's biggest concern, immediately confirmed the route information, and Lu Chang, Zhou Cang, Hu Ji, Zu Lang, Li Tong and all the remaining special forces members accompanied him. Hao Pu brought some people to protect Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, and they will not accompany them this time.
The special operations team members were very busy preparing carriages, horses and accompanying supplies, and booking ships. On this day, Chen Long returned to the study. His new wife, Tong Yuanzhi, a beautiful girl, opened the door and came in. She looked at Chen Long with a smile and said: "Husband, didn't you say that you always bring a wife with you when you go out? This time I go back to Chang'an to find her. Your beautiful lady Cai, of course, I should accompany you."
Chen Long thought to himself that he really promised to take one with him, and said with a smile: "According to the order, I should take the peach blossom first."
Dong Feifei pursed his lips and said: "Sister Taohua has to take care of Xiao Yueying. Besides, you are only taking so few people with you this time, and it is not a large team. I'm afraid there are many obstacles on the road. Is it more convenient for someone with strong martial arts skills like me?" After that, he pursed his lips and pumped his fist vigorously a few times. It was indeed a powerful fist, and he had made great progress.
Chen Long had to admit that Feifei was right. Who knew what dangers there would be on the road this time. Moreover, the confidentiality work is not strict, and there are relatively few people involved. After nodding in agreement, Feifei was overjoyed and gave her a sweet kiss. They spent the night in Feifei's room loving each other.
In the morning, the two of them woke up with their bodies entangled. Feifei suddenly said leisurely: "Husband, I heard that Sister-in-law Fan is also pregnant."
Chen Long reacted for a long time before he remembered that the sister-in-law Fan mentioned by Feifei was Zhao Yun's wife, Fan. He said with great joy: "Zilong, this kid didn't take the initiative to report to me. Let's see how many drinks I poured into him before leaving." Hearing Feifei's words The sourness in the words, looking back, it turned out that she was still worried about not being able to conceive, and since there were so many wives and none of them could conceive, it must be his own problem. When I find Mr. Hua Tuo, he will find out what is wrong with my reproductive system and cure it to give birth to a litter of him. Then I remembered that Zhang Zhongjing was in my hands. I wonder if Brother Zhongjing is good at this?
While he was thinking wildly, Feifei got up to help him wash up, and inevitably did some morning exercise. Just when he couldn't give up, there was suddenly a loud explosion outside the door, which scared Chen Long almost to the point of impotence. He only heard Zhuge Liang's cheers from far outside the window: "Explosion, explosion! Finally succeeded!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
