"It's great to congratulate. This year's harvest is more than twice that of last year, 7.62 million!" Zhou Qian looked like an old farmer. His whole body, except for his eyes and teeth, was all tanned.
However, his body has become much stronger, and he is no longer the powerless scholar he was before.
Yanzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, with flat terrain, convenient transportation, crisscrossing rivers, numerous lakes, and fertile land. It is known as the "granary", and Wei Wu became an emperor because of it.
With Zhou Qian's efforts, Yanzhou has gradually restored its strength as the "granary of the Central Plains".
"This is all the work of Zhou Sima!" Li Yue held his hand.
Zhou Lian hurriedly returned the gift, "If it weren't for the lack of rain this year, the growth would have doubled, but it's a pity..."
"How can everything in the world go as planned? It's no pity. God has been good to Yanzhou." In Li Yue's eyes, it would be good if there was no severe drought.
"What the Governor said is true."
Food is people's heart. After working hard for more than half a year, Yanzhou finally gained some wealth.
The people within the territory live and work in peace and contentment.
Some shops began to pop up in Chenliu City, selling some mountain products and river delicacies.
The most prosperous business is the inn and wine shop business, especially the wine shop business. Every time the soldiers take a break, the business is booming. The officers and soldiers of the Black Cloud Army spend a lot of money just to eat and drink.
The second is the leather goods shop. In Yanzhou, all the people are hunting, and the leather-making skills have made great progress. The leather cloaks produced are becoming more and more exquisite, and they are favored by the dignitaries in the south of the Yangtze River.
In this era, there were no cotton-padded clothes, so leather cloaks became the most suitable clothing for nobles to keep out the cold.
After the autumn harvest, the soldiers had almost rested and began to hunt in the autumn.
In the past, they were only south of the river, but now they have one foot across the Yellow River, so naturally they cannot give up on Hebei, which also allows the soldiers to adapt to the terrain of Hebei in advance.
Shi Hu and other scholars loved hunting very much. They once "hunted thousands of carriages and raised animals for thousands of miles." Their hunting grounds were spread across both sides of the river, with thousands of miles of surrounding land, where they raised wild beasts. Those who injured wild beasts by the common people were punished with torture. If wild beasts hurt the common people, they would not be punished. Don't ask.
Nowadays, the northern country is infested with wild beasts, and it was at the hands of Shi Hu.
Ran Min issued an order to kill the Hu, and within ten days around Yecheng, more than 200,000 Hu people were killed or injured. Their bodies were all eaten by wild beasts, and many jackals, tigers and leopards were fattened.
It can be used to train soldiers.
The Black Cloud Army is still divided into twenty divisions, fifteen divisions in Hebei and five divisions in Henan.
As for whether the Black Cloud Army will hunt wild animals or barbarians after crossing the river, it depends on the wishes of each captain.
Zhou Qian took advantage of the fact that the weather had not completely turned cold yet, and led his slaves to build more Chenliu City, expand the fort, and renovate the roads.
Xin Can, in accordance with Li Yue's order, built additional monasteries in each county and promoted enlightenment. Orphans living among the people and children born in common families could enroll in the school. Not only was it free, but two meals a day were also provided.
Those with the best qualifications will be sent to Chenliu Shangwutang for careful training.
During this period, Li Yue was not idle either. He stayed in Shangwu Hall every day, focusing on Han Shu in the morning, and training them in riding, archery, swords and spears, etc. in the afternoon.
The protons of the major powerful men in Yanzhou were also among them, and their relationship with Li Yue was getting closer and closer.
There are also those five hundred Heiyun Lang, who are already skilled in bow and horse. Many of them are good at literature and martial arts, and they basically know what they need to learn.
They simply opened a martial arts lecture hall, focusing on explaining the art of war.
Li Yue has worked hard in the art of war and medicine, and has personally commanded several battles. He naturally has some experience in the art of war. Coupled with his own experience in his previous life, he speaks clearly and logically.
From the reasons for the outbreak of the war, to the situation of both sides, psychological games, mobilization behind the scenes, morale and morale of the troops, etc., several battles are replayed in front of everyone.
For Li Yue, it was a summary process, but for them, it was an in-depth study.
Li Yue also came up with a unique idea and created a war simulation game on the sandbox, and also set up several templates.
The battle of Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, the battle of Wei Wu to destroy Wuhuan, etc.
The troops, cities, logistics, provisions, etc. of both sides were placed on the sand table, and then they were asked to deduce the process.
Every battle recreated has a meaning behind it.
Such a novel thing was naturally very popular and aroused their enthusiasm for learning. In addition to the necessary training every afternoon, they devoted themselves to it without sleep or food at all other times.
"You can't just focus on the troops, food, population, etc. on both sides, but also pay attention to psychology, morale, and combat intentions. For example, the Wuhuan people are strong and occupy the transportation arteries, but the Wei army dares to take the lead despite not having the right time, location, etc. in their hands. Attacked, and finally defeated Wuhuan, and captured more than 200,000 people. Wang Yan held the main force of 100,000 Jin troops, but was chased by Shi Le's 20,000 light cavalry, and suffered all casualties. You should think deeply about the reason!"
Li Yue made an innuendo.
There are indeed some good ideas among them, especially Gao Yun, who has quite unique insights.
An unlimited supply of meat is provided every day to strengthen his body.
Li Yue believed that only by eating meat can one gain strength.
The Jiangwu Hall then became the highest institution of learning in Yanzhou. The powerful children mixed with Hei Yunlang, and under their influence, they gradually changed.
Environment can easily change a person.
As for a teenager, when his values are being established, it is difficult for him not to change under the influence of Li Yue in various ways.
Yanzhou tycoon Li Yue couldn't help it, but their son, Li Yue, could subtly change.
The days passed like this.
Compared with last year, today's Yanzhou has changed a lot. People's hearts have gradually stabilized, the treasury has gradually filled up, the morale of the Black Cloud Army has recovered, and many new babies have been born in various counties.
Everything is booming.
As October enters, the new wind gradually picks up, and a chilling atmosphere fills both sides of the river.
Although the plague broke out in Hebei, it was finally brought under control.
Now that Yecheng and Xiangguo have licked their wounds, a new war has gradually begun.
Yecheng assembled more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry, preparing to launch a fatal blow to Xiangguo.
But at this moment, Ran Wei's edict made everyone in the world look at him.
Ran Min appointed King Ran Yin of Taiyuan as the Great Chanyu and General of Hussars, and recruited a thousand capable Hu people to protect him.
Da Dan was honored by the Hu people, and Ran Min's move immediately aroused fierce opposition in the country.
Yecheng, Nantai.
"...Today the hatred between Hua and Yi is as deep as the sea. His Majesty won the hearts of Hebei by killing the Hu, so he can be where he is today. Now the Hu people are honored as princes, and they want to win the hearts of the Hu people. They are capricious. The Hu people will not do this." Your Majesty is using it, and China will also be far away from your Majesty. The decline of the country will definitely begin because of this. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, so we must observe it..."
Fa Rao read Wei Jian's remonstrance angrily, making the remonstrance even more harsh.
This is only the first half of the paragraph. The second half of the paragraph is more passionate. Some of the sentences directly accuse Ran Min of being different from what he looks like. He is from China, but his heart is in Jiehu...
The anger on Ran Min's face grew stronger and stronger, "I am a talented person, and you can tell that I am a rotten scholar!"
During the last court meeting, when Ran Min recruited barbarians, Wei Huan offended Yan Zhijian and prevented Ran Min from coming to power. However, he tolerated it and rewarded him with three hundred gold cakes. But this time, he pointed at his nose and scolded Ran Min. fed up.
"Your Majesty made the King of Taiyuan the Great Chanyu in order to destroy the Hu people in Xiangguo. This is a conspiracy!" Fa Rao cautiously complimented.
"Hmph, how could he know my painstaking efforts? Send an order to destroy his family!" Ran Min said with murderous intent.
"Book of Jin, Volume 17, Record Seven": Min Gong led the people of Zhao to kill all the Hu Jie, men, women, and elders, no matter how high or low, beheaded them. More than 200,000 people died, and their corpses were found outside the city, all eaten by wild dogs and wolves. .
It's a slight exaggeration, but it can also reflect the wild beasts all over Hebei during the Post-Zhao period.
