The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

The next day, Lu Bu began to contact several generals in the border county.

However, the period was not so smooth. After all, there was a soldier named Zhang Liao... and he couldn't be called a soldier. Before following him, he was already a corps leader in the army.The problem is that Zhang Liao was transferred to Dingxiang County and could not be contacted.

Of course, at this time, Lu Bu didn't take Zhang Liao too seriously, so he ignored him.Instead, Gao Shun, who had no intention of forming a party, had to be excluded in the end.

"So it's just a faction..." Liu Tao sent someone to watch Chen Gong and Lu Bu after seeing them together. After looking at the development, he smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"My lord doesn't object to forming a party?" Guo Jia asked, after all, he was responsible for this matter.

"There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things." Liu Tao replied casually, "If everyone under my command thinks the same, then I need to worry... Even so, this is only applicable to the first generation. After the dynasties, once the control is not good, a certain faction suddenly dominates, and there is still a great possibility of becoming a powerful minister."

The biggest tragedy in history is that when the princes were young, the emperor could not teach them the mind of the emperor, lest one or both of them have the idea of ​​the emperor; the creation of a generation often works hard for state affairs and neglects the education of children.

After realizing it, the child has been brainwashed by Confucianism, and he is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality... But he can spend his time teaching the child, how can so many children be taught?Don't work anymore?Don't enjoy it?So what's the fun in being an emperor? !

"My lord has to worry about this issue. At least I have to have an heir..." Guo Jia reminded that he was married last year and his wife was pregnant, and he will almost have an heir next year.

Guo Jia, who is sixteen years old, already has children. The problem is that Liu Tao, who is already 23 years old, has not yet married.Thinking of his future plans and the great cause he may succeed, there is no heir who can't justify it.

"No way!" Liu Tao directly retorted, "Zhen Jiang is only thirteen, you don't plan to let me take a concubine first, do you?"

The eldest son of a concubine is actually a very bad situation, although the traverser has no such scruples.The problem is that she has already made a marriage contract with Zhen Yi, so naturally she can't go back on it casually. The current development of Yunzhong still needs Zhen's help.

…… Guo Jia was also silent when he heard the words. How could he not know the importance of marrying the Zhen family to Liu Tao.

It's just that Liu Tao will have to wait another two years to get married, and at least another year before he can have an heir...it may not be an heir yet.I always feel like I have a headache.

"In short, next year!" Liu Tao whispered, "If there is no change next year, then there will probably be a turning point."

"Although it is not our duty to interfere in the lord's private affairs, it is also our greatest expectation. We still look forward to the lord, and we must treat it with caution." Guo Jia can't persuade too much, after all, it is easy to offend Liu Tao.

Now that he is concerned about the issue of heirs, will he choose seven or eight hundred beautiful girls to the palace in the future?Of course he doesn't mind, and if he has this status, then it is estimated that everyone will really persuade him that way.It's better to indulge in it, and then turn over the government.

So, isn't this "the emperor hangs down and rules"?This is what the Holy King did, and it is a symbol of prosperity!

"Leave that aside, how much have you learned recently? I'll give you a year at most!" Liu Tao reminded.

"The whole day is either reading or helping to compile. Jia naturally understands the contents of the book of war. It's just that Jia uses tactics, but generally doesn't follow the strategy of war. It's useless." Guo Jia shook his head.

"Yes, according to what I know about you, most of your schemes are based on the target's personality and habits, and then make a layout based on this. Your best is the control of people's hearts, and your powerful calculation ability .” Liu Tao replied.

"Hey, I didn't expect my lord to know Guo so well...just like this, I feel a little scared." Guo Jia was taken aback, then shook his head helplessly.

The point is that Liu Tao is right, this is his style, it is a bit unnatural to be seen through so thoroughly.

"I don't know you well, so how dare I trust you?" Liu Tao smiled, "Since you said you can do it, then report to the army tomorrow and start directly as a military adviser. Whether you can serve as a military adviser to sacrifice wine depends on you." Ability! However, one hour of physical training every day cannot be neglected!"

"It's nothing..." Guo Jia accepted the order happily, and had already been forced to exercise before.Fortunately, he is young and has plenty of meat, and he has not fallen into the habit of frequenting brothels or drinking like hell, and his physical condition is still considered healthy.

It must be somewhat disgusting, why do you have to let him exercise regularly... I am still young, and my body is fine.But Liu Tao kept emphasizing that he also felt a little unnatural.

Considering that someone can see the future, Guo Jia even began to have some sense of crisis.For exercising, there is no feeling of rejection gradually.After a few months, the whole person has become much healthier, and I feel that I can persevere.

As soon as Guo Jia left, Lu Yan walked in, and then came to Liu Tao and said, "Brother, there are still more than ten days before the experimental field can start harvesting. The growth of the crops in each field during this period has been recorded. have a look?"

"Oh, it's almost mature, it's pretty fast..." Liu Tao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he remembered that the time was almost unknowingly the middle of August, "There's nothing to see, after all, use a better method, Definitely better growth.”

After a pause, he suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, it seems that Huangfusong went to hunt down the thieves for more than a month, right?"

"Having said that, the time is so short, at best we can only gain a firm foothold in Chang'an." Lu Yan didn't know why Liu Tao would ask this, and answered after thinking about it.

"Then I guess this year is really going to be the same. After the corvee is over, we might as well promote the heated kang!" Liu Tao thought for a while and said, "At that time, mobilize the soldiers in the army, let them help build the heated kang, and promote the fact that the army and the people are a family. Spirit."

"The heated kang is indeed a good thing, a bit like an earth dragon, but the cost is lower." Lu Yan heard the words and praised, "If it is fully promoted, the people should live better in winter."

The key is that there are no quilts. It will be very cold here after winter, and sometimes the elderly and children will disappear overnight.So in the north, the probability of the death of the old man in winter and the death of the child is still very high.

Liu Tao was deeply touched by this. When he was at home, he always planned to set up a kang.However, that period of 'behavior was not normal', so Liu Yuanqi poured himself a bowl of talisman water into it, and later worried that the other party would think that there was something wrong with him...

Liu Tao really didn't want to experience the taste of the talisman water anymore. Not only did he have to hold on until the second year, but he couldn't gradually let himself go until he started to form a militia.

"I just hope that Xianbei doesn't suddenly come to attack Caogu..." Liu Tao said with emotion, but he really hoped that they would go south.

Chapter 296 The Problem of the Three Elders

Kang, this is something that has been promoted in the county recently. Just before winter, the original corvee has just ended, and the peasants have just returned home, and then the county sent people to promote it.

Generally speaking, except for Yunzhong County, it is estimated that other places may be perfunctory, especially the townships below the county level.

The problem is not good this year. Zhang Fei led his troops to supervise everywhere. Even the most powerful Xiang Wang had to be obedient to this violent governor who would beat up people at the slightest disagreement.

"No wonder no matter what game, Zhang Fei is a top-notch talent in managing law and order..." Liu Tao couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw the news reported from below.Either there are no side effects, or there is an improvement in the complaint documents of the three elders in various townships.

"You didn't beat them up, did you?" Liu Tao looked at Zhang Fei, who just came back.

"If you can beat them, you'll beat them up." Zhang Fei said angrily, "You rely on the old to sell the old, and talk about the promotion of the kang, but you can talk about their youth for a long time, and you can only listen obediently..."

"Yide, have you thought about this issue?" Liu Tao thought for a while and said, "The three elders usually choose older people who are highly respected...Is that right?"

"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Fei was taken aback when he heard the words.

"How long can people who are born in poverty and know the sufferings of the people live?" Liu Tao asked back, "Especially in this county."

40 years old?Still 50 years old?Anyway, Liu Tao didn't think he could live long. With malnutrition and poor living conditions, few ordinary people lived long.

"That's true..." Zhang Fei thought for a while, then nodded.

"Since ordinary families rarely live long, aren't the three elders basically monopolized by the gentry and noble families?" Liu Tao further explained, "For such a family, there must be no shortage of supplies for the winter, and it doesn't matter if you want a kang. I have to put in effort to promote it to the people below, I still earn the prestige, so it's no wonder they will cooperate!"

If there are some conspiracy theories, they still hope that the elderly of ordinary people will not live long, so that they can always occupy the position of the three elders.After understanding the usefulness of the heated kang, an artifact for winter, they would not cooperate with it.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Fei did the same thing. If the people below didn't cooperate, they couldn't point their knives at others, right?People are so old, if something goes wrong and the reputation of the government is spread, it will probably be affected.

"The easiest way is to take over the part below the township level and set up officials in a real sense. The three elders only serve as consultants, or are only responsible for propaganda or cultural and educational work..." Liu Tao thought for a while.

"Then set it up!" Zhang Fei felt that there was nothing wrong with it, anyway, he didn't want to look at the faces of those three elders.

"This is equivalent to reforming the system. With our current status, we can't play this trick!" Liu Tao reminded, "We can only use some tricks, such as bypassing the elders and directly carrying out publicity."

"Bypass?" Zhang Fei seemed to have grasped something important.

"Since you think it's troublesome, then just bypass them, how to publicize and how to publicize, a dozen or twenty soldiers beat gongs and drums, and then do a few things to let the people see and see, confirm that it is really good, others are not stupid , will naturally follow suit." Liu Tao spread his hands.

"Ha, my brother said earlier that I don't have to be so angry!" Zhang Fei suddenly realized.

"In the future, I can't be the only one who advises you when you encounter problems, right? Seeing that this official position is getting bigger and bigger, you have to learn to solve problems by yourself and avoid trouble... Otherwise, how can I let you take charge of the affairs alone in the future?" Liu Tao Patiently explained.

"My foolish brother is taught..." Zhang Fei became a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and then solemnly replied.
