Governor please stay

A group of people came to the river and found the kind of mussel that the old man said. It was indeed a very common species. Liu Yishou had eaten it himself. Of course, he was not so lucky to eat pearls.

"Yang Xiuzhi, you and Yuan Shikang lead the convoy and distribute the remaining supplies to the villagers. We are returning to Shouyang City."

After the work is done, there is no need to spend more time showing off to buy people's hearts.Liu Yishou learned from Xiao Yan's lesson that what he should do is to do great kindness, instead of pretending to do small kindness and great evil.

Instead of wasting time on the show, it is better to do something real.Life is too short, and he really doesn't have the energy to engage in similar people-friendly shows.

……

In the study room of the Governor's Mansion in Shouyang City, Liu Yishou spread out a large piece of paper, drew a picture on the paper with a charcoal pen, then opened the lid of the mussel, and described it to Jia Sixie.

"To put it simply, pearls are sand that falls into the flesh of the mussel. In order to protect the fragile body, the mussel secretes a lot of liquid to wrap the sand. As the ball grows bigger, it becomes a pearl. Of course , the sand here is just a metaphor, and it can also be other foreign objects.”

The principle of mussels producing pearls is not uncommon. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, many scholars observed a phenomenon of "replacing small pearls with large pearls", that is, finding a very large and healthy mussel, and then replacing them with rice grains. Little Pearl stuffed the oyster in while it opened.

Then keep it in clean water, and when the time is almost up, you can take out the pearls.At that time, the pearl has become a super-large pearl, and its value is not the same as before.

Jia Sixie is a person who studies agronomy. When Liu Yishou said this, he immediately understood what the other party wanted to do.

"Raising river mussels, the meat can be eaten, and it doesn't take up an acre of land. If we can stuff foreign objects into the river mussels, we can produce pearls. Then throw the pearls to Jiankang to sell, how about it?"

Then don't be so cool!

"My lord, this move is very promising! It's wonderful!"

Jia Sixie clapped her hands and laughed, Liu Yishou was completely on the same channel as him.

"In the slack season in winter, I want to build a large canal and a large weir pond in the south of Shaobei, where we will try to raise mussels, irrigate the farmland, and reclaim new fields. This will not affect the lives of the original farmers, and the implementation will continue. There is no resistance."

"My lord is far-sighted, and I admire you so much."

Jia Sixie said sincerely, he was really convinced, if it was someone else, with such achievements at Liu Yishou's age, who wouldn't make a fuss about it!

"Dugu Xin, Zhao Gui and the others are fighting ahead, so we can't play at home, can we? If we indulge and slack off, it's like sailing against the current and then retreat. I can't even imagine what will happen then."

Liu Yishou said worriedly.

Gao Huan has the right time, place and people, and has now entered the rising stage of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.Liu Yishou remembered that during this period, the Eastern Wei Dynasty recovered the productivity gap caused by the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty.The country's power expanded rapidly.

Otherwise, if he fought with Yu Wentai and was often defeated, his family fortune in the Northern Wei Dynasty would have been wiped out long ago.

So Liu Yishou was under a lot of pressure, time was not on his side, at least not on Liang Guo's side, Liang Guo was getting weaker and weaker, and it was almost a foregone conclusion.

In two years, I will encounter strong military pressure from Gao Huan.

"My lord, there is no strong enemy ahead, General Dugu and the others can still handle it." Jia Sixie comforted.

He is a young man himself, and he knows the situation there very well.

"Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. You haven't fully understood it yet."

Liu Yishou said something with emotion, which made Jia Sixie confused.

……

In the study of the prince's mansion in Taicheng, Jiankang, the prince Xiao Gang was furious, so angry that he wanted to throw things but dared not.Because the news of his rage will be sent to Xiao Yan, the consequences are unpredictable!

"The Son of Heaven is too eccentric! Too eccentric! Let me and Ah Ba (Xiao Ji) set up a platform, whether it is tolerable or unbearable!"

Xiao Gang hammered the table fiercely, furious!

"Your Highness, it is useless to say these things now." Prince Zhan Shi Liujin said helplessly.

Liu Jin is the former minister of Xiao Gangqian's residence, from the Liu family in Hedong. Like Yang Kan, he is from the north.It is not new for the Xiao clan to take in talents from the north, and under Xiao Yi's command there are Wang Sengbian and his son.

"Then how do you think you're going to deal with it?"

Xiao Gang asked calmly.

"A virtuous person does not avoid relatives, and my minister recommends Liu Zhongli, an unworthy son, to lead the battle." Liu Jin said with a deep bow.

This proposal is somewhat interesting.

Xiao Gang thought about it for a while, and found that Liu Jin's move was really not just to pave the way for his son.

"Let's listen to the details."

Xiao Gang's anger also dissipated, Xiao Yan's decision could not be changed, saying those were useless.What we need to see now is how to deal with it in order to maximize the benefits.

Pearl farming is a local industry in the modern Shaobei area. It is absolutely possible to know whether the mussels here can produce pearls, or whether they can raise similar mussels. I have done enough research beforehand.

Chapter 318 Read as Ally, Write as Sand Sculpture

"Return to Your Highness, my unworthy son, no matter what, will not betray His Highness. Let him go to practice for a while, and he can be His Highness's help in the future.

Furthermore, this also reassures the emperor.If His Highness randomly sends someone to lead the army, or sends someone who is seasoned and prudent, wouldn't that add wings to the Eighth Prince? "

Old coins are always prepared with two hands, and ideas are unpredictable.And Liu Zhongli is a young man and a hard-core confidant, his father is always by the prince's side, so it is impossible for him to run away with others.

Since you won't get any benefits from this wave, it's better to have experienced talents.Even if he loses, it's okay to say, after all, how could Xiao Yan want to see the team around the prince, the God of War who is invincible and everyone has to hide?

Liu Jin's suggestion is very mature and prudent. Although he is recommending his own son, the starting point is from a public heart.Of course, it doesn't matter to him whether the Xiao family can take back Lanling County.

He is from the Liu family of Hedong, not the Liu family of Lanling!

He doesn't care whether Liang Jun can conquer Lanling County, what he cares about is whether his son Liu Zhongli can make a splash!Xiao Yan bullied Xiao Gang to this extent, obviously because he was worried about Xiao Tong's death, and he didn't want Xiao Gang to sit too comfortably in the prince's position.

It seems that this emperor who is obsessed with Buddhism will probably abdicate only when he is dying.Liu Jin's heart darkened. From the fact that Xiao Yan ordered Xiao Ji to lead the troops, he felt that Xiao Gang's biggest threat was actually the youngest son.

I have to say, Xiao Yan really hid it well before!

"Your Highness, the Son of Heaven now has some unusual ideas about the position of the crown prince. From now on, His Highness should keep a low profile. His Highness was a little reckless that time in Le Youyuan."

Liu Jin persuaded calmly.

Thinking of being slapped in the face by Liu Yishou in public, it turned out that this incident was not a joke, and now it has become a second slap in the face.Xiao Gang felt a little regretful, why did he stand up at that time? If he hadn't stood up, Liu Yishou might not have had the opportunity to present the map to Xiao Yan.

He has hyped up the popularity, and now that his promise has been fulfilled, countless dignitaries in Jiankang City will secretly exchange songs with him.

"At that time, when my brain got hot... who knew Liu Yishou would play such a trick?"

Xiao Gang said regretfully.

"Your Highness, just slowly win over the courtiers. As long as you don't contact Fang Zhen, the emperor will not make any real moves. Your Highness is still young and can afford to wait."

Liu Jin said pointedly.

Xiao Yan has already passed his 68th birthday, the only thing Xiao Gang has to do now is to wait!As long as you can bear it, the throne will be vacated by itself, etiquette is sometimes more effective than thousands of troops!

In fact, Xiao Gang also thought so, but why does Xiao Yan's body always look so good!Xiao Gang heard that Xiao Lun was looking forward to Xiao Yan's death, so he found someone who was very similar to Xiao Yan, and beat him to death in public.

Cursing his father's death is against filial piety, Xiao Gang can't do such a thing.However, deep down in his heart, he thought, um, in fact, Xiao Yan's natural decline now seems pretty good.

……

Xiao Gang proposed to let Liu Zhongli, an old man in his late residence, be the deputy commander, which immediately attracted a lot of criticism.The main problem is that Liu Zhongli's qualifications are too low, but Xiao Gang has led soldiers and fought in battles when he was a prince in Xiangyang, and he has some records against the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But compared with Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, which swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, it was really far behind.Not even the experience of leading a large army on marches and fighting.How can such a person be a real commander in chief?

Many people think this is a child's play.

Feedback to Zhu Yi, Zhu Yi is also the first two big.Xiao Yan is old now, and he is obsessed with everything he does.Liu Yishou said that he was moved by retaking the ancestral land, so he insisted on sending troops there.

Xiao Yan made up his mind to balance the power of his sons and pave the way for Xiao Ji to rise to the throne, so this encounter will definitely not escape.There was no way, Zhu Yi once again poked his opinions to Xiao Yan who had ignored the government affairs.

Xiao Yan proposed a strange solution: the three armies set off together!One way is the main way, and the two ways are supplemented!

The right-hand army led by Xiao Ji started from Beihai County, which protruded from the map, marched westward, and attacked Tan County, an important town on the bank of Yishui River.After occupying Tan County, it was handed over to the soldiers of Beihai County to guard it, and then continued to attack Lanling westward.

The Left Route Army started from Xiapi County and attacked Cheng County, which is located to the west of Lanling County, to protect the flank.

A rear army was also arranged to start from Donghai County and march northward. Tunza was located in Liangcheng, the key point of Yishui, to ensure the retreat of the two armies.

I don't know if Chen Qingzhi proposed this military deployment, but it still looks like that. Maybe Xiao Yan asked Chen Qing casually when he asked Chen Qing to play chess, and Dudu Chen just said it casually.

With a large army as backup and a large army to protect the flanks, generally speaking, it should be no problem, right?Of course, it can't be ruled out that Xiao Yan wants more people to share the cake and balance the power of the government and the opposition. Who knows?

It's just that this military deployment requires Liu Yishou to withdraw his army!In other words, this seriously violated the vested interests of Liu Yishou and his subordinates.Liu Yishou only said what he wanted at the birthday banquet, but now he only asked the court to send civil servants to govern the counties, but he didn't say that the court sent troops to replace their presence in Xiapi County and Donghai County.

Zhu Yi couldn't help persuading Xiao Yan, but unexpectedly got rejected.Probably because Xiao Yan has made too many decisions recently, which has delayed his practice.Xiao Yan simply ordered people to lock the gate of the Great Buddha Pavilion in Tongtai Temple and not to receive any outsiders!

Zhu Yi had no choice but to dispatch the government order to Shouyang in a hurry.

……

Winter is coming quietly. As a city along the Huaihe River, Shouyang has the climate characteristics of both the south and the north. It can be very hot when it is hot, and it can be very cold when it is cold.A heavy snowfall can also collapse a simple thatched hut.

Liu Yishou was wearing a thick winter coat, with his sleeves folded, basking in the sun in the courtyard of the mansion.He made a bird trap, that is, put some corn under a dustpan, and propped it up with a branch.

But because people often walk around in the yard, many people come in and out, so the birds are too scared to come.By the next morning, all the millet inside had been eaten up.

"It turns out that the word "there are so few people in the world" came from a feeling."

Liu Yishou sighed softly.

"My lord, General Dugu and General Zhao sent someone to send a letter, asking if we want to attack Wuyuan City next step!"

Wang Wei ran out to the yard out of breath, and his tone was a little anxious when they met.

Liu Yishou just said before that he would stick to Xiapi County and Donghai County, but these two places cannot be defended, and some outposts must be occupied to warn.

Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui should be through Qi, and feel that they can't be so busy.Even if you can't attack Lanling, just squeeze the front line to the front.

This kind of situation is like licking a dog and not being able to sleep with the goddess. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to touch the goddess' little hands?

Liu Yishou saw through their small thoughts at a glance, and bowed his head in silence.

"What do you want, my lord?"

Wang Wei also thought it could be done. He even thought he could take advantage of the chaos to ransack Beihai County, and when asked, he would say that Gao Huan sent someone to do it.

"Send a letter to the imperial court, and you write it on behalf of me. It is said that our army feels that the front line is under too much pressure, overwhelmed, and the logistics supply is not good. So I hope the imperial court can send some rewards. Our soldiers took the rewards and handed over the second county to the imperial army. Heart is also at ease.”

Liu Yishou said slowly, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

Ok?Take the initiative to throw out the meat in your mouth?Wang Wei thought he heard it wrong.

In his opinion, Lanling County is indeed the ancestral land of the Xiao family. If you say you can't move it, it will be the target of public criticism. He admits this.However, both Xiapi County and Donghai County were fought with real swords and guns.Wouldn't it be too timid to just hand over to others like this?

"My lord, will we be too weak in this move? Forgive me for speaking bluntly, Dugu believes in Zhao Gui's troops, not our army's elite."

Wang Wei felt that they didn't use much strength now, let alone all their strength, so why should they withdraw the army!

"Gentlemen attract but don't speak out, they jump like a man. Now it's not our turn to come out."

Liu Yishou looked at the vast expanse of snow in the yard, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

At this moment, Yang Xiuzhi also rushed in, took a document from Liang Guo, and sent it to Liu Yishou.

"The envoy left as soon as he delivered it, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Yang Xiuzhi is very concerned about these small details.If the emissary runs fast, it means that there is absolutely no good news inside.

Liu Yishou took apart the sealant, looked at it for a long time, laughed dumbfounded, and handed it to Wang Wei.Wang Wei looked left and right, but didn't see why, and couldn't figure out what was going on with Xiao Yan's arrangement.

"Three-way army? Coordinate with each other?"

It was as if he had seen a ghost. Every word in this official document was ridiculous, but looking at it together, it really fit Liang Guo's national conditions.

"Liang Guo is a town that manages a lot of things. So the matter of attacking Lanling, conventionally, should be completely handed over to us. This is the normal rule of Liang Guo. They have always played like this, and the effect Well, it can’t be said to be too bad, there are still merits.”

Liu Yishou commented that he didn't need to belittle others to elevate himself.

Fangzhen's method does have merits.For example, the response speed of border towns in various places is very fast.It is very handy to deal with border frictions in this way.Generally, the general only needs [-] to [-] elite soldiers to hold the field!

"so what?"

Wang Wei asked curiously.

"However, once this kind of organization is messed up, it becomes impossible to deal with it. It is obviously impossible for Xiao Yan and the Liang Guozhong to entrust someone like me to take back Lanling. Xiao Yan can't mess it up. The establishment of the border town, so he can only mobilize the so-called guest troops to fight.

The guest army also came from different towns, and there was only one person in charge in a group of people, and no one would obey the other.So Xiao Yan simply came to Jiulong to control the water, and each took care of it! "

It is very absurd to do so, but when you think about it carefully, is there any other way for Xiao Yan to do without radically reforming Liang Guo's military administration?It seems that there is no more!

Like Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty who mobilized the whole country to crusade against the Xiongnu, this kind of national mobilization model could not be adopted by Nanliang.Still the same sentence, you can cook whatever ingredients you have, and you can't make spiced beef with a lot of cabbage.Xiao Yan's doing so can be regarded as adapting to local conditions.

"Another order is to let Duguxin station troops in Feicheng, Zhao Gui station troops in Luxian County, and guard the north gate and east gate of Pengcheng. Other things can be left aside. Don't plunder Xiapi County and Donghai County, just send the troops Withdraw back, and together with Wu Mingche, protect Pengcheng's safety."

Liu Yishou issued an order that Wang Wei could not understand.

"My lord, do you think Wei Guo will go to war?"

Wang Wei felt that Liu Yishou's deployment seemed to be preparing for defeat.But how many troops can Gao Huan send?Wouldn't Gao Huan be making too much of a fuss by doing this?

"My lord, Qingxu is not Hebei, and it is not the core area under Gao Huan's rule. The small Lanling County is lost. As for the large army, will he fight Liang Guo?"
