In the early morning, the sun had just revealed its gleam, and a trace of fresh air filled Wancheng.
The front yard of the mansion.
Liu Chan and Hua Tuo came to a quiet grassland and began to practice Wuqinxi in the morning.
Hua Tuo was wearing a loose white robe, with a kind smile, and his eyes revealed gentleness and wisdom.
Even on a cold winter day, his face was still rosy and he did not feel cold.
Liu Chan was wearing thick training clothes and looked energetic.
Guan Yinping went to look for Guan Ping, but Zhen Mi and Liu Chan were not in a hurry. After going back and forth, he recovered his health.
"Your Highness, the play of five animals: the first is tiger, the second is deer, the third is bear, the fourth is ape, and the fifth is bird. It is also used to remove diseases and sharpen the hoofs and feet for guidance. If there is discomfort in the body, it is like a bird. During the play, I was so happy that I sweated, and because of the powder, my body was light and I wanted to eat. I practiced it universally, and I am more than ninety years old. My ears and eyes are sharp, and my teeth are strong."
Hua Tuo demonstrated first. He stood in the middle of the grass, relaxed his body, and calmed down.
"The bird performer stands with both hands, one foot raised, two arms stretched out, eyebrows raised, two seven points each. He sits and stretches his feet, holds his hands seven feet apart, and retracts and extends his arms seven points each."
Following his gestures, he first imitated the birds, and flapped his arms lightly, as if he was soaring in the sky.
"The bear opera performer is leaning up with his knees clasped in both hands, raising his head, smashing the ground with his left hand and the right hand with his hands. He squats on the ground and supports the ground with his left and right hands."
Then, he imitated the bear, squatting down and simulating crawling movements with his hands, showing the bear's honest and ferocious side.
Liu Chan observed carefully, and then carefully imitated Hua Tuo's movements.
At first, his movements were a little stiff, but over time, he gradually found a balance between rhythm and intensity. He tried hard to imitate the fluttering movements of birds and tried his best to show the freedom and agility of birds.
"Your Highness is indeed a heavenly being. After only learning it once, you can get it right. However, when doing the bird tricks, your body can be more gentle."
Hua Tuo encouraged Liu Chan and reminded him to keep his body soft and stretched. Liu Chan followed the instructions, relaxed his body, and felt every movement with his heart.
"The tiger performer has his limbs raised from the ground, throws three times in front, and throws twice. He stretches his waist, raises his feet to the sky, and then walks back to the distance. He passes seven times in front and back."
"The ape performer can hang himself by clinging to an object, stretch and stretch his body, up and down seven times, hold the object with his feet and hang himself, seven times on the left and right, with his hands hooked upright, and press his head seven times each."
He then imitated the posture of a tiger, showing his mighty and powerful side, and then imitated the movements of an ape, leaping with vigor.
The early morning sunlight shines on the two of them through the snow-covered branches, reflecting the grace and smoothness of their movements.
The sound of wind blowing through the leaves could be heard on the grass, blending in with the movements of Liu Chan and Hua Tuo.
"Huh~"
After practicing a set of Wu Qin Opera, Liu Chan touched the fine sweat on his forehead, chuckled and said, "After practicing it once, my body is really relaxed."
Hua Tuo smiled softly and said: "Practice Wu Qin Xi every day, which can eliminate grains, increase energy and strength, and eliminate all kinds of diseases. Those who can survive will be sure to prolong their lives."
"Although Your Highness is a womanizer, he is full of vitality and blood and has no vain image. The heaven is full and the earth is round. He is a blessed person and will surely live a long life."
What Hua Tuo said is quite true.
Liu Chan in history can be said to have lived a long life.
"I wonder how prepared the military medical camp is, sir?"
A smile appeared on Hua Tuo's rosy old face, and he said softly: "Everything has been arranged."
He looked at Liu Chan and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, I have three disciples whose medical skills are no less than the old man. Among them, some are good at medicine and acupuncture. If Your Highness wants to maintain health, you may want to ask these three for advice."
When Hua Tuo arrived in Jingzhou, the news that he was saved by Liu Chan quickly spread throughout the country due to Liu Chan's deliberate publicity.
After all, this matter is somewhat legendary, with some exaggerated descriptions, and the people like to hear it.
I love listening to it, so it naturally went viral.
Hua Tuo's disciples, such as Wu Pu, Fan A, Li Dangzhi and others, came to Jingzhou to seek refuge.
This Li Dangzhi had little knowledge of medical classics, revised the old classics of Shennong, and obtained the true biography of Tuo. He was particularly devoted to medicine and researched it. He tasted "Li Dang's Medical Records", "Li Dang's Prescriptions" and "Li Dang's Materia Medica". 》.
Fan A was good at acupuncture and health preservation, and his life span was more than a hundred years old in history.
"This feeling is good."
Liu Chan learned Wu Qin Xi from Hua Tuo because he wanted to live longer and be healthier.
There are famous doctors specializing in conditioning his body, so why not?
"Tomorrow, I will bring them to the house and I will receive them personally."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Hua Tuo quickly bowed to Liu Chan.
As he is getting older, he no longer values things like fame and wealth.
But he didn't take it seriously, which was not the case with his disciples.
After finishing his morning exercises, Liu Chan had a simple breakfast and then went to the lobby of the mansion.
At this moment, in the lobby, Xu Shu, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others had already dealt with Jingzhou's political affairs in the lobby.
"Your Highness, this is today's report."
Since the defeat of Yingchuan, Guan Yu has not been involved in political affairs, and has almost handed over all Jingzhou affairs to Liu Chan.
Fortunately, Liu Chan had many advisers under his command. Otherwise, after doing all the daily political affairs, how would he have any time to rest?
It would be more efficient if his own ministers sorted out the news and then he agreed to approve it.
Zhuge Liang is a capable person.
Those who are punished with more than 20 penalties will be punished by self-examination.
"It is good to manage government offices, secondary buildings, bridges, and roads"; "Every camp, well, stove, fence, fence, and barrier should be inked with ropes and ink."
"圊溷" means toilet. As the prime minister, the top leader of the Shu Han regime, Zhuge Liang not only has to take care of major military and political affairs, but also trivial matters such as government construction, bridge and road construction, setting up camps and even building toilets, and determines the specific construction. standard.
Such things must be done personally. Although Zhuge Liang himself did his best, it is not advisable for the overall situation of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Just like Zhuge Liang, how can he train his subordinates without exhausting himself?
You have done all the work, what do they do?
As the lord, Liu Chan understands his mission, which is to control the court, control the courtiers, and make good decisions.
Do everything by hand?
There is no need for this.
"Wei has not been in turmoil, which is a pity."
Liu Chan looked at the message sent by Jian Junsi's secret agent in Wei State, feeling a little regretful.
When Huang Xuer and Cao Zhang lead their troops, you, Cao Pi, can endure it. In the land of Qingxu, the mighty camp roars, and you can endure it too.
His new opponent, Cao Pi, doesn't seem to be easy to deal with either!
And Sima Yi.
On that day, he told Cao Cao about the "Three Horses Feeding Trough" in front of the two armies. He didn't expect this boy to be alive and well, and even became a close advisor under Cao Pi's account.
It seems that capable people can withstand consideration.
Sima Yi was able to stand out under Cao Pi because of his ability!
"The snow is thick this year, and the wheat yield will be high next year. The Merchant Alliance is doing business for the first time. How is the dividend going?"
As the person in charge of the merchant alliance, Xu Shu stood up and said: "Shu brocade and Shu salt are sold to Nanyang, and Jing brocade, colored glaze, and porcelain are sold to Wei. This is my first time doing business. In Nanyang County alone, I have made tens of millions of dollars. The Anzhong Zong family alone received three million yuan!"
An Zhongzong clan is now fully siding with Liu Chan.
Almost all the fields, tenants, villagers and guards reported were reported without any hidden secrets.
In addition, Liu Chan wanted to set an example in Nanyang County, so more money should be allocated to the Anzhong clan.
Three million dollars, is that much?
Not much.
There are only three or two mansions in Wancheng.
But less?
Definitely a lot.
In exchange for grain and grass, three million dollars can be exchanged for ten thousand stones of grain and grass.
More than 400,000 catties of grain is a lot of money.
What's more, this is the income from the first business trip, not the entire year's income.
"Dividends are distributed to each company, can they be distributed?"
Xu Shu nodded and said, "Distribute them all."
"Has the news been publicized?"
Xu Shu nodded heavily and said: "According to His Highness's wishes, storytellers, rangers, ruffians, and gangsters were mobilized to promote the news, and made up catchy songs. Now that the news of dividends is coming, let alone Jingzhou, I'm afraid it will be in Jingzhou." Jiangdong has been passed down in the Wei State."
"very good."
Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Shu's ability is beyond doubt.
Xu Shu could do all Liu Chan's instructions for him.
The top ministers of the Three Kingdoms are so useful!
"One more piece of news. After one month, the number of people in each farm, tenant, village and Wei tribe will be re-registered, and the dividends will be re-distributed according to the proportion of the following number of people."
certainly
This time, with the addition of the number of people coming to the farm, tenants, villagers and guards, the dividends won't be as much as the first time.
"My lord understands."
Jian Junsi searched for news from various places.
Even those submissive nobles still concealed a lot of land and population.
How much was concealed was unclear, as Liu Chan did not send anyone to measure the land and compile households and people.
But he still had to find out the details of the noble clan.
It was his first time doing business, and with huge profits, Liu Chan felt very confident.
These nobles might not be able to help but reveal all their family wealth to Liu Chan.
If you can get millions of dollars in dividends a month, then why farm?
How many fields can be planted to earn millions of dollars in profit?
Driven by the huge profits from the business alliance, it can be expected that Liu Chan's control over Nanyang County will rise to a higher level.
"As for those ten companies, the news of dividend distribution has been released. Do they have any reaction?"
Dealing with the Nanyang nobles took a lot of effort from Liu Chan.
certainly
This kind of effort is definitely worth it.
If you can tame the nobles who backstab you at any time into Nanyang nobles who can be manipulated by you and provide you with a steady stream of loyal talents.
No matter how much effort he put in, Liu Chan would never be too much.
In troubled times, talent is crucial.
"Seven of the ten noble families have submitted their rosters, but three of them have not submitted."
Given such a warning and such an opportunity, you still don’t know how to obey?
Do you really think that I, Mr. Liu, can’t kill people?
He immediately snorted coldly and said:
"Let Zong Ziqing, Li Chun, and Han Yao come to see me!"
Liu Chan left these three families to deal with him.
Of course Xu Shu understood what Liu Chan meant, and he immediately sent someone to summon Zong Ziqing, Li Chun, and Han Yao.
Not long after, these three people appeared in front of Liu Chan.
"I'll wait to meet His Highness."
"No need to be polite."
Liu Chan helped the three of them up and said, "I called you here today to kill people and exterminate the clan!"
Murder and genocide?
Zong Ziqing obviously knew something inside.
"Your Highness, do you mean to take action against those disobedient nobles?"
Liu Chan nodded slightly.
"If you don't join the business alliance and hand in the roster, you are disobeying my discipline. In Nanyang County, if you are disobeying my discipline, how is it different from treason?"
Liu Chan glanced at the three of them with murderous eyes.
"Three of you, each choose a family. I will let A Hui Nan, Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao lead an army each, and follow you to suppress the disobedient. The family will be confiscated and the clan will be destroyed. No one will be left alive!"
"Your Highness."
There was hesitation on Han Yao's face.
"If His Highness had not sent a letter to you, these three families would have obeyed and would not have dared to rebel against His Highness's will. Why would there be a need for large-scale weapons and massacres? I'm afraid that the Nanyang people's hearts would be disturbed."
People's hearts fluctuating?
Give him a chance?
"It's not that I didn't give them a chance, it's just that they didn't cherish it."
Liu Chan stared at Han Yao with murderous intent in his eyes.
After being stared at by Liu Chan, Han Yao hurriedly lowered his head. Even in winter, with sub-zero temperatures, his back was instantly soaked.
He knew that he had said the wrong thing.
Your Highness is such a wise and mighty man. Now just call him over and get things done.
If you say this more, what will His Highness think?
"If you don't want to do it, I can let others do it." Liu Chan's tone did not blame him, but his calm tone made Han Yao feel scared.
Thump~
Han Yao immediately knelt on the ground.
He kowtowed three times, then raised his head and said, "Your Majesty just made a mistake, please don't blame me. It is my duty to deal with such disobedient people!"
"hehe."
Liu Chan chuckled and said, "Get up."
Seeing Liu Chan laughing out loud, Han Yao felt calm.
Now Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, has established a firm foothold in Nanyang County.
The matter of the merchant alliance has attracted almost all the noble families to his side. Now he is dealing with three disobedient noble families and has them exterminated, and no one will say anything.
A community of interests has already been formed.
Are people in Nanyang worried?
As long as His Highness is here, how can Nanyang's people's hearts fluctuate?
Li Chun, the current head of the Li family in Wan County, stepped forward to express his position: "Your Highness, don't worry, your ministers are here, and he will be killed and his family will be destroyed!"
In contrast, Han Yao was compassionate, or he did not want to get the bad reputation of destroying his fellow Nanyang nobles.
He, Li Chun, has no such worries at all.
He was originally a moneylender and had a bad reputation.
If it's even worse, so what?
The most urgent task now is to hug His Highness's thigh tightly.
The merchant alliance paid dividends for the first time, and Li family in Wan County gained a lot.
A full million dollars.
If you gain His Highness's trust and increase the share ratio, wouldn't it be safer and faster than lending money?
"very good."
Liu Chan immediately said: "Let's go prepare and take action in three days!"
"promise!"
The three of them took the order and left.
After the three people left, Fei Yi came forward and said, "The Nanyang matter has almost been settled. Does Your Highness have any intention of returning to Chengdu?"
After all, Liu Chan is the prince.
What's the point of staying in Jingzhou all the time?
"Don't worry, I will definitely spend the New Year in Jingzhou this year."
Although the nine counties of Jingxiang are already in Liu Chan's hands.
But how to digest all the nine counties of Jingxiang is not a simple matter.
Nanyang gentry, Changsha, Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang barbarians.
And the Jiaozhou scholar family further away.
Liu Chan has a lot to do.
But he also understood Fei Yi's worries, and just said: "After the incident in Nanyang, I will patrol the nine counties of Jingxiang in the south, and then return to Chengdu."
It is conceivable that there will be no more war between Jingzhou and Wei in the short term.
With Pang Tong and Guan Yu in Jingzhou, if Sun Quan of Jiangdong and Cao Pi of Wei had a fight in Hefei, the opportunity would not be delayed.
By then, it would be too late for Liu Gongsi to go down by boat.
"In this way, I will feel relieved."
