Li Yue could release some of his financial power and governance power, but he firmly held on to military power, personnel appointment and dismissal power, and ideological power.
There is a saying in the art of war: those who have the same desire from above and below will win.
If you want to cure the problem, you must first cure the people's hearts and work together as one, only then can there be no breakthrough.
Several chief bookkeepers were also busy with their feet on the ground.
Wei Shan handles various disputes on the mountain, ranging from land disputes to trivial matters.
Zhou Qian, on the other hand, is busy like a big housekeeper. He is busy enough to register a household. He also has to collect and sell private salt, and prepare for the upcoming spring plowing.
Xu Cheng and Liang Xiao guarded the Sishui Fort, one in the south and the other in the north.
Cao Kan guarded Gong County in the northwest, built the northern barrier of Heiyun Mountain, and also managed the coal mines.
Yue Ji leads the women on the mountain to weave straw clothes, straw shoes, straw mats, etc.
Even Xin Can was not idle, and all the enlightenment on the mountain was handed over to him.
Although busy, it is full of vitality.
Everyone is doing their best for the growth of Black Cloud Mountain.
The ice and snow melt and spring returns to the earth.
Zhang Shengye followed Li Yue's instructions, nibbled away, and got back more than 200 strong horses. The cavalry unit in Heiyun Mountain was basically formed. There were no horses, so they made do with donkeys and mules.
Under Shihu's harsh punishment, there are so many wild beasts in the hunting ground.
Liangzhou was defeated, and Shihu had no intention of hunting. He gradually neglected management and could not manage such a large hunting ground.
This era is full of wild beasts.
The Central Plains is depopulated and uninhabited for thousands of miles. There are no man's lands everywhere and all kinds of wild beasts are rampant.
The scouts had a great harvest, and cartloads of prey were pulled up the mountain.
Young beasts were kept in captivity in the Western Mountains, adult beasts were slaughtered, and their furs were collected by cobblers for leather making.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chinese ancestors already had tanning skills, and during the Warring States Period, natural mirabilite and alum were used to tan leather.
The busy days passed quickly, and winter turned to spring in a blink of an eye.
On the day of late spring, during the Shangsi Festival, it is also time to prepare for bad luck.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Shangsi Festival was not as important as New Year's Eve.
On the third day of the third lunar month, men and women go out for spring outings, have feasts by the water, and gather with friends.
However, there is no such leisurely elegance in Heiyun Mountain.
In order not to reveal the truth on the mountain, Li Yue took measures to control entry and exit, strictly prohibiting people from going down the mountain at will, so he could only simply pay homage to his ancestors on the mountain.
The plan for the year begins with spring.
Whether Heiyun Mountain can survive in these troubled times depends on this year's spring plowing.
All matters on the mountain were put aside first, and all men, women, old and young went down the mountain to reopen the canals, tidy up the wasteland, build huts and lay earthen stoves in the ridges of the fields.
Last year's floods destroyed large areas of fields upstream of Sishui Castle.
Now that the floods have receded, the fields have been nourished by the silt and become more fertile. With a little tidying up, more than 13,000 acres of fertile farmland can be obtained.
In the naturally formed pond weir, fat fish often come out of the water to eat catkins and grass seeds blown by the wind.
Li Yue had seen numerous floating corpses in the pond and had a psychological shadow on fish.
But the people on the mountain didn't have any idea. They carried baskets back one by one and cooked them into fish soup.
Back then, Sishui Castle was far more than just these fields, and there were many fields further upstream.
However, all the benefits cannot be taken away. More than 6,000 acres of fertile land near the Liunan Fort of the Zheng family were all given to the Zheng family.
This move also won the favor of the Zheng family, and they reciprocated the favor. They also sent some seeds and iron plows, as well as more than 300 jars of pickles and meat dumplings.
Pickles are similar to pickles in later generations, while meat minced meat is boiled, minced, sprinkled with salt, sealed and marinated.
Li Yue looked at the dark color and smelled a strange smell, which was really off-putting.
Han Xu, the magistrate of Jingxian County, sent someone to ask for support.
A plague severely damaged the vitality of Jingxian County. There were not enough young people to farm, and the cattle could not escape the plague.
Li Yue transferred a thousand middle base camps there.
The way people are in the world is to come and go. Once we go back and forth, everyone will become familiar with each other.
After a spring rain, the long-awaited spring plowing begins.
Li Yue originally wanted to show off twice to encourage morale, but after getting out of the field, he realized that it was not necessary at all.
Everyone wants to die.
As soon as the sky dawned, people woke up, consciously picked up their hoe, and besides eating and drinking, they stayed busy until it got dark and couldn't see, and then reluctantly left.
Even children as young as five or six gathered in groups to collect firewood and help cook porridge.
There are people on patrol in the middle of the night to prevent wild boars and birds from pecking the seeds.
It was still the same the next day, without slacking off at all, and Li Yue was shocked by his diligence.
This also shows their desire for a stable life.
It is a pity that in the long history, there are either natural disasters or man-made disasters, and even if we try to cultivate diligently, we will not be able to achieve it.
Looking at the backs of those who were working hard, Li Yue suddenly felt that the rise of Heiyun Mountain was actually not difficult.
As long as they provide a stable environment, with their hard work, they will naturally be able to support themselves.
The same is true for the history of the Murong family in Liaodong.
Among the tribes in Liaodong, the Murong family was not the most powerful, and was sandwiched between Goguryeo, Duan, and Yuwen.
During the Five Husbands' chaos in China, Murong Xian improved his criminal administration, showed openness to the scholars, treated scholars favorably, and set up Qiaojun to resettle the Han people. The refugees in the north did not turn to Wang Jun and Cui Ao, who were from high-ranking families, but instead took refuge in Murong Xian one after another. The Murong family was It's growing.
Murong Xuan also wrote a "Family Order" of thousands of words to educate his descendants, so there were many talented people in the Murong family.
Li Yue took out the scouts' prey. Heavy physical labor was impossible without oil and water.
He also asked the woman who cooked the porridge to make the porridge as thick as possible.
The children pulled wild vegetables from the fields, washed them, chopped them up, threw them into the porridge, sprinkled them with salt, and a fragrance curled up.
The pickles and meat dumplings that Li Yue despised became the supreme delicacies in their eyes, and more than three hundred jars were divided in the blink of an eye.
"Mencius said: A wise man cultivates and eats with the people, and governs with food. If the general is like this, why worry about the lack of prosperity in Heiyun Mountain?" Xin Can shook his head and said.
This old boy always burrows next to him when he has time or not.
However, in the past two months, his transformation has been obvious to all. In the past, he always put the court at his lips no matter what happened.
Never mention it now.
The bad things done by the Sima family are obvious to all, and they cannot be cleaned no matter how hard they are washed.
"If Black Cloud Mountain can rise, Mr. Xin will also contribute a lot." Li Yue said perfunctorily while looking at the blue sky.
Xin Can had a glorious look on his face, laughed dryly, and took out a letter from his arms, "Yesterday... Jiangdong sent a secret letter to the old man..."
"Oh?" Li Yue turned his gaze back to Xin Can's face.
Heiyunshan's ability to defeat Zhang Yu has proven its worth.
Jiangdong could not remain indifferent.
In the past, the mountains were under closed management, and letters could not come in. Now, with spring plowing and everyone coming down from the mountains, the farmers in the south finally seized the opportunity.
Li Yue's hands were covered with dirt and he didn't answer the letter. It was obviously written by Jiang Dong to Xin Can. He would tell it whether he read it or not.
Xin Can hesitated and said: "The imperial court... is deeply gratified by the general's victory over Zhang Yu, the governor of Jie Zhao and Yuzhou, and advises the general to keep up his efforts..."
Li Yue was stunned, "Is it over?"
"that is all……"
Li Yue took the letter and said a few words, mostly words of encouragement. However, it was not sent by the imperial court, but by Xie Shang, General Xizhong Lang, Jiajie, in charge of the military affairs of the six counties of Yangzhou, and the governor of Yuzhou.
He and Zhang Yu had flirted with each other before, but now that Zhang Yu had been defeated and the value of Heiyun Mountain had increased, it was natural for him to change his goals.
The title of Jiajie and the governor of Yuzhou gave him the qualification to make irresponsible remarks on the affairs of Siyu and Yuzhou.
But it's too stingy. It's empty talk and a blank piece of paper.
Moreover, the letter was handed to Xin Can, obviously to test his attitude.
You can't hit Jie Zhao with an egg against a stone, and you can't be too stiff with Jiangdong.
Keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future.
Li Yue looked at Xin Can and smiled like a fox. How could a fisherman know that he was not the one being fished?
"Mr. Xin wrote back a letter, saying that I, Li Yue, am determined to kill the thieves and restore the old capital, but unfortunately my strength is meager. I have this intention but not the power. I hope the court will support me..."
