sweeping the world

Chapter 51

The continuous drizzle swayed back and forth with the wind, as if under the sky, behind a series of curtains, competing to perform gracefully, showing off their dances in the haze.

Is Qingzhou considered the north?That depends on where you are looking at Qingzhou.

From the south of the Yangtze River, Qingzhou is naturally in the north, and places further north are still called the north.

Looking at Qingzhou from Saibei, there is no doubt that Qingzhou has become the south.The Hu people in Saibei had probably heard something that Qingzhou is not suitable for grazing, because there are many mountains there, and only the northeast and north can be called plains.

Looking at Qingzhou from Xiangguo, the capital of the later Zhao Dynasty, Qingzhou is estimated to be in the southeast?

Liu Yan actually didn't know what the capital city of Hou Zhao looked like. He guessed it based on what he saw, and it probably wasn't too prosperous.He even felt that Xiangguo's city defense was not very good. Otherwise, why would Ran Tianwang choose to take the elite out of the city to fight in the field instead of stationing in the city during the fierce battle of Murong Xianbei?

Xiangguo was named by Hou Zhao himself. The original name was Yecheng. It was once the home of the fourth and third prince Yuan Shao. Cao Cao also later established Yecheng as his capital. It is rumored that it was still separated by a river south of Yecheng. The extremely luxurious Tongque Terrace was built.

In the drizzle, he couldn't see too far away. In fact, even if it was sunny, Liu Yan couldn't see Xiangguo thousands of miles away.Not to mention the exaggerated but poetic words that are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, because the earth is round and if the line of sight is not blocked, what you see at a distance of thousands of miles should be the horizon.

When Qingzhou is approaching summer, it will rain for a period of time. According to some local people, the number of consecutive days of rain in the rainy season is not fixed every year.

Liu Yan likes rain, and in another seventeen days, the task of "keep Guigui county in one month's defense" given by the system will be completed.At that time, he can build a second town center on Lingshan Island.

From then on, unless Houzhao had a navy, he would be able to capture Lingshan Island if he had a navy, or Liu Yan would be invincible.

"...The rainy season should be for spring plowing." Tian Shuo looked regretful: "It's only time to sow nearly a hundred acres of seeds, and it's a bit late. But I don't know how many catties of grain can be harvested in autumn."

Nearly a hundred acres?Jin Daimu is not the same thing as modern times.Plus, there really does seem to be that many acres.That is, not all of the crops are wheat, but most of them are beans.

In such a year, coarse grains such as beans are the mainstream, while wheat is considered refined grains.As for the rice?Rice is hardly grown in the north, and only in the south of the Yangtze River is rice grown.In addition... There is no hybrid rice for rice now. Whether the rice seedlings can adapt to the north is really not so easy to say.

It's raining. In this weather, most of the work can't be done.It is suitable for cats to sleep soundly at home, or to create villains with their wives with all their strength.At worst, if you have a child, you will be annoyed by the bear child who can't calm down, and you will stop playing.

Of course, the above things are a kind of extreme desire or extravagant hope for most Jin people.It is a fluke for most Jin people to survive, and they still expect to have relatives?
"Your Majesty, during the rainy season, I suggest that the warrior and the lady get to know each other." Ji Chang was wearing a linen gown today, but his hair was casually draped on his shoulders. He really had the style of the Jin and Wei Dynasties: "It will improve the army. Wu morale."

It's climbing high and looking far away again, why does Liu Yan like to be in high places so much?A group of them, probably more than a dozen, were basically people in charge of the resettlement field, and they lived in a specially built pavilion on the top floor of a five-story building.Fortunately, the pavilion is big enough to not be splashed by the rain, but when the wind blows, it is really cold.

A few days ago, Liu Yan asked someone to make a stone compartment there, and he built a barbecue grill himself, just to have a little fun during the rainy season.

No, being busy is useful.Some of their higher-status people formed a circle, and those with lower status were in the periphery. The two circles surrounded a barbecue grill.

Liu Yancai didn't care about a gentleman staying away from the kitchen...he personally cut the meat into thin slices and skewered it.A limited number of seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce, green onion, and ginger are prepared.In fact, there is a plant that replaces peppers now, but Liu Yan forgot what it is called. He wanted to make people have the mustard that China has had for a long time, but it was too late.

When Mencius told King Hui of Liang that "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen", he didn't mean that scholars cannot cook, but he meant that he could not bear to kill, and he did not mean that he could not cook.I don't know how the Confucian scholars behind them got involved in cooking.

By the way, it is important to know that the yellow mustard in Japanese mustard has been passed down from China.Also, the so-called kimono is a simplified version of Hanfu.Tatami mats were still Chinese until the Song Dynasty... Those so-called daimyos were also the seeds of the Song people, because from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, the favorite thing for Japanese rulers was to send women to China to "cross the species", saying It is to improve the genes.Therefore, it does not seem funny that Japanese nobles were called "Chinese" for a while.

While talking and grilling, although there are not many types, it is a kind of fun to eat by yourself.

Liu Yan didn’t know whether to be happy or depressed. A group of people heard that almost everything was prepared by Liu Yan. First, they were touched, and then they wanted to perform acting with tears in their eyes to show that they felt the object of allegiance. If you treat him kindly, he will be loyal and unswerving until death.

Arranging a blind date is not suitable for the current concept.

According to contemporary customs, Liu Yan is fully qualified to directly point anyone, marry whomever, and marry whomever.Those who were named took it for granted.Because there are no parents, Liu Yan is their ruler, and it can even be said that they consciously think that they are Liu Yan's property, and Liu Yan is fully qualified to make arrangements.

It was the first time to barbecue together, the atmosphere was not what Liu Yan liked very much, but it was not forced.If he had a meal with the leader, especially the leader who can decide his own destiny, would he be able to let go?Therefore, to settle the matter that should be discussed, Liu Yan let them make troubles by themselves, greeted a few words and left.

When Liu Yan left, Ji Chang, Lu Tai, Xu Zheng, and Tian Shuo were the only people around the grill. If Zhang Shi was there, he would be qualified to occupy a place, but Zhang Shi went with a mission. Xiangguo.The other seven or eight people, they still stayed on the periphery obediently, watching the bosses eating and chatting with their eyes and nose watching their hearts.

"The training of the new army will not stop." Xu Zheng said while poking his mouth with his hands. He was really burned just now: "Zheng, I want to suggest to the king to recruit again."

Lu Tai took over the topic and said: "After a round of elimination, there are only more than [-] main soldiers (combatants). It is time to suggest to the emperor to recruit again, and dismiss those who are not even suitable for auxiliary soldiers."

Tian Shuo never planned to say anything about military matters.This is also their tacit understanding. It should be that those in charge of civil affairs should never interfere with the military, and those in charge of the military should not interfere in civil affairs. Each has its own "territory."

More than 2% of the Han tribe is now young and strong. Speaking of it, if it can support the army, it is also possible to recruit [-] people.The group of people in charge of the military is relatively rational, and has always controlled the ratio of soldiers to civilians at the stage of fifteen to one.

"I heard that many Wubao do not accept your lord?" Xu Zheng had a sinister expression on his face: "They have days of regret."

Ji Chang laughed "hehe" a few times, as if he didn't mind: "The new rise of the Han Dynasty, conquered the county capital, and then occupied the cabinet county. The powerful and powerful families are waiting for the reaction from the court. How many people will be on our side."

"When they make a choice..." Lu Tai said blankly, "It's your turn to decide whether to accept or not."

In fact, Ji Chang is not without gains. Most of the Wubao still choose to pay some taxes. After accumulating a small amount, it can be regarded as reducing some pressure on the logistics of the Han Dynasty.

The tyrants and big families who can survive will definitely not bet lightly.To be clear, there is no need to give charcoal in the snow, but there are a lot of icing on the cake.They are waiting for the reaction of the later Zhao court. Most of them think that as long as the imperial army arrives, the Han tribe should be destroyed.

"Your Majesty has said that in the near future, four hundred more tribes will be dispatched." Ji Chang's confidence probably comes from this?He said: "In this way, we will have eight hundred elites." He looked at Tian Shuo and asked, "Brother Tian Shuo will lead people to dig trenches and build earthen walls when the rainy season is over?"

Some people have suggested to Liu Yan to strengthen the fence of the protective facility, but Liu Yan is obviously not that caring.

In the first place, fences were built to keep wild animals from running wild, not to serve as defenses.

Now, with a group of people in charge, and more and more Jin people returning to their hearts, they all want to make the place where they live more secure, and the suggestion of building a rammed earth wall has been put forward again.

Tian Shuo, on the other hand, had a strange expression on his face, and said, "Your Majesty... only allows the digging of trenches and trenches in sections, and does not allow the building of city walls."

For a moment, everyone looked at Tian Shuo with puzzled faces.
