Governor please stay

Wang Wei and Chen Yuankang stood behind Liu Yishou, silently waiting for the performance.

"Okay, let's get started."

Liu Yishou said to the rather old craftsman beside Yuan Shikang.

"Return to the governor, this thing has been tested many times, it is very safe, please demonstrate it yourself."

The old craftsman made a gesture of invitation, just to let Liu Yishou pretend to be aggressive in front of everyone.

"I understand."

Yuan Shikang handed Liu Yishou a fire note.

The principle of Huozhezi is worthless, which is to make a burning "small box" the day before or the day, put the paper inside, and then quickly cover it when it is ignited.

The fire is not completely extinguished, but burns very slowly in the box. When it needs to be used, it is opened directly, and the burning paper will be re-ignited when it encounters air.

Liu Yishou thought to himself: Back then, I was a little expert at lighting firecrackers. I threw firecrackers into a can and ignited them to explode. The effect was really not very good.

He walked slowly over to light the hemp rope on the bamboo tube, only to find that the speed of burning the rope was beyond imagination!

Liu Yishou hastily lit the remaining ones as well.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Fireworks of different colors are blooming in the sky, but it is a pity that it is not night. If it is night, such colorful fireworks will definitely leave a deep impression on everyone in Shouyang City.

This instant firework works well, the bamboo tube doesn't explode, the sound is not too loud, and the fireworks fly high.

Both Wang Wei and Chen Yuankang had the same thought in their minds: with a cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops will come to meet each other!

If this kind of thing is only put away during festivals and Chinese New Year, it is really wasteful.It is a real sharp weapon only when it is used in marching and fighting.

When to withdraw troops and when to start fighting, just set off a firework, which is faster than sending orders.Different colors are also more recognizable than Wolf Smoke, and you can run away quickly after playing.

"Congratulations, my lord, for getting this sharp weapon!"

Everyone gathered around to congratulate Liu Yishou.

"Okay, let's step up production in the workshop and spread it to the whole army. The formula of gunpowder is strictly kept secret. Those who participate in the development, regardless of their position, will be rewarded."

Liu Yishou said to the craftsman with a serious face.

"Thank you Dudu for your love."

After cleaning up the scene, Liu Yishou took Chen Yuankang and Wang Wei for a walk along the ridge of the field. The autumn harvest was coming to an end, and the field they were in was already bare.

"This year, floods and droughts have alternated, and Shouyang is doing well, but it's hard to say in other places. It is estimated that there will be many victims in winter."

Wang Wei said with emotion.

"How much is a lot?"

Liu Yishou frowned and asked.

"Shouyang is located in Dazhou. After moving to various places, the household registration is less than 20. In other states and counties, there are probably more than [-] households in each state, and there are also fewer than [-] households. This is still our plunder and Solicited a lot of household registrations, including the hidden black households of the aristocratic family.

Previously, there were only 28 to [-] households in a county, and some had less than [-] households.After all, Lianghuai is no better than Jiankang, and there are [-] households registered by the government, not counting hidden household registrations.

If the lord does not have the manpower of Jiankang, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand on his own in the world. "

Wang Wei said with a sigh.

Xiao Yan's kind is a good card, and Jiankang has such a large population that it cannot be converted into human resources.If these people focus on farming and warfare, five households can support one soldier, and they can get [-] elite soldiers who don't worry about food and drink, and don't care about production.

Why worry about the injustice of the world?

"This winter, we will open warehouses to release grain, absorb and resettle refugees from all over the country, center in Shouyang, resettle in surrounding counties, divide a small number of acres of land to make ends meet, and implement the strategy of granting land to the army by the way."

In some places, the tyrants are temporarily inactive, but refugees and disaster victims can be used to dilute the influence of the tyrants.

"Chang You, the "Zhanshan Ge" promulgated by Liu Yu in the previous dynasty, have you finished writing all the improved items?"

Liu Yishou smiled and asked Chen Yuankang.

"Back to the lord, it's all finished." Chen Yuankang said, cupping his hands.This amount of work is trivial to him.

"Okay, let's go out and practice it first, see who will jump out, sort out the list first, and record them one by one. We will send troops to Xuanhu this winter, just to make those people think that we do not have thunder. When we return from victory, Let's find out the people on the roster one by one and deal with them one by one.

This is called not to say that it is not predictable. "

Liu Yishou sneered.

Tsk tsk tsk, this method is really despicable.

Wang Wei and Chen Yuankang sighed and mourned for some people in their hearts for a few seconds.If you don't jump out and kill yourself repeatedly, how can you have any reason to deal with you.

Liu Yishou's Zheng Boke stage is really not very unusual, it's an old silver coin routine.

Chapter 372

Mao Xi was very knowledgeable about the current situation. He wrote the letter on behalf of Liu Yishou and sent it to the Cao family who was entrenched in Sizhou. Replace Cao Yizong.

After all, this uncle is over 60 years old, and it has been more than 30 years since Cao Jingzong passed away. The Cao family hopes that Cao Yizong can return to Liang State safely, which can be regarded as returning to the roots to a certain extent.Everyone knows that this uncle has not had a good life for a few years.

Cao Yizong sent troops to Xuanhu, nominally for Liang Guo's country, and now the Cao family is playing the family card again, Xiao Yan is really hard to refuse.If you ignore them this time, who will come forward if something happens in the border town in the future?Ignoring it will break the hearts of many people.

Furthermore, Cao Jingzong is a minister of the dragon, so it is impossible for Xiao Yan to really ignore their family affairs.So a new issue was spread in front of Xiao Yan and Jiankang Center as Mao Xi expected: Who should be sent?

The answer is obvious. Liu Yishou, whose jurisdiction is only one state away from Huaizhou, is the closest, and his strength is extremely powerful, enough to frighten Xin Zuan!

Soon, a government order from the Jiankang Center was issued: Liu Yishou sent troops to Huaizhou, stationed in Guangcheng County (near Hengchuan County, Henan Province), and prepared to attack Xuanhu.

Of course, sending troops is just a gesture, it's just an announcement to the outside world, Xiao Yan also has to face, of course it can't be said that sending someone is to bring Cao Yizong back.

And Liu Yishou received another secret decree: In exchange for Cao Yizong, he can withdraw his troops and don't have to love fighting.

After receiving the official document from the Jiankang court, Liu Yishou announced that he would rest for three days and put aside all other things except necessary government affairs, not to mention sending troops, not even the deployment of military rations, just like a holiday.

Taking advantage of the rest of the day, Liu Yishou was fishing on the bank of Feishui River at the foot of Bagong Mountain in the north of Shouyang. Chen Yuankang and Wang Wei were both on business in Shouyang City and did not follow, while Mao Xi, Hu Luxian and other younger generations The other is to follow along.

Mao Xi looked at the fish he had caught in his bamboo basket, and vaguely saw that the bamboo basket next to Liu Yishou was empty. He wondered whether he should "release water" so as not to make his boss look too ugly.

"Back then, uncle and nephew Xie An, relying on the favorable location of Feishui River and the brave Beifu soldiers, defeated the smug Fu Jian and continued his life for the Jin Kingdom for decades."

Liu Yishou looked at the not-so-wide Feishui and felt emotional.

"The governor now has enough soldiers and food, no worse than the Beifu soldiers back then."

Mao Xi complimented.

"Forget it, so many things from ancient to modern times are just jokes. Today, the surname is not Sima, and I am not Xie An." Liu Yishou was paralyzed when he couldn't catch fish as always.

"Captain, the imperial court ordered me to send troops to Xuanhu, why did you hold back the troops? Haven't we been planning this all along?"

Mao Xi asked curiously.

"Did the emperor give me the official position of governor of Huaizhou?"

Liu Yishou asked back with a smile, but did not answer the other party's question.

Huaizhou is the only way for the north to invade the south from Henan, and the defense of Huaizhou is not trivial.

"Well, I didn't mention it in the official document." Mao Xi said awkwardly.

"Isn't that right? The imperial court refused to even give me the official position of governor. Since Cao Yizong's family is not in a hurry, I am even less in a hurry. Let them hang out first."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said, Mao Xi was taken aback.

This horse rider really doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles!

Although he is a son-in-law, this Dudu Liu didn't take Xiao Yan seriously at all. As long as it is unprofitable, then he has never heard of it.

"Come, come, come!"

Liu Yishou's fishing rod sank suddenly, as if a fish was biting the hook, and it was a big one at that.

"Snapped!"

The fish was too big and unhooked.Liu Yishou pulled up the empty bamboo pole, and all the fishhooks on it disappeared.It was hard to keep the fish from running away, but the fishing line was tossed and broken because the fish was too big.

"The governor really caught a big fish." Hu Luxian, who was behind him, admired.

It's a pity that the horse's ass was patted on the horse's leg, and Liu Yishou sighed helplessly: "Forget it, go shoot a rabbit or something in the woods."

After Hu Luxian left, Liu Yishou turned his head and asked Mao Xi, "How do you think we should deal with this time?"

What Xiao Yan meant was that it would be fine to switch back to Cao Yizong.But what Liu Yishou wanted was obviously not to exchange that bad old man Cao Yizong back.

"During the previous dynasty, Xuanhu was originally under the control of the State of Wei, but since the fall of the Six Towns, the border of Liang State has moved northward, and now the prefecture and county where Xuanhu is located is like an iron nail, embedded in the border of Liang State.

If God does not take, you will be blamed.When the governor sends troops this time, he must seize the hanging gourd and return.With this place, Yingchuan can be threatened to the north, and Huaizhou can be retreated to the south.

Furthermore, if Xuanhu is attacked, Wei Guo will send his future to rescue him, and the governor must also be prepared to fight against it. "

Mao Xi was not familiar with the situation in the north, but Liu Yishou knew that once Xuanhu was lost, Yingchuan would not be safe, and Gao Huan's fragile nerves would definitely be aroused.So the other party will also send the main force from Yecheng to rescue.

In this case, it is tantamount to making things worse.Xiao Yan is probably also in view of this, so he hopes to control the scale of the war, and it will be fine if he can return Cao Yizong.All political and military actions, whether coercion or temptation, revolve around "substitution".

This is the fundamental difference between Xiao Yan and Liu Yishou on this matter.Liu Yishou's current status is a member of Liang Guobian Town, of course he is not afraid of making things worse, anyway, Xiao Yan will stand up for the sky falling!

"The ones I met before were all native chickens and tile dogs, and it happened to be training soldiers this time."

Liu Yishou looked at the Feishui in front of him, and understood a little bit how Xie An was feeling back then.Life is like this, often encounter many dislikes, difficult things to do, but have to do, and even try hard to do well.

Backing Liang Guo is of course not necessary to fight desperately like Gao Huan and the others, but like a frog boiled in warm water, after a long time, you will be assimilated by those mediocre people.

What Xiao Yan thought this time was just to change Cao Yizong back, how uninspiring it is!

At this moment, a gentle footstep approached slowly from behind, and then a pair of soft little hands covered Liu Yishou's eyes.

"Guess who I am?"

The man deliberately suppressed his voice and asked.

"Mary? Sunny? Or Ivory?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile on his face.

"What are these and what? They are all unheard of."

That person sat next to Liu Yishou, and it turned out to be Yang Jiang.This year she gave birth to a son, and now she is also a mother, but her personality is still the same as before.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously, Yang Jiang should be in Shouyang City now.

"Eh? Don't you know, today is your birthday. Mrs. Jia asked me to call you back for dinner."

Yang Jiang lightly tapped Liu Yishou's head with his hand and said.

"Is that so? How do you know?"

Liu Yishou had a weird face, he couldn't even remember when his birthday was.

"Wang Wei said so."

Yang Jiangmian said without changing his expression.Liu Yishou remembered that it was fine if he had no father or mother and couldn't find it. If he didn't even have his birthday, it would be too fake, so he made up one with Wang Wei and others, and declared that it was the case.

This birthday was programmed so sloppily that Liu Yishou didn’t remember it himself. It’s like writing down a number as a password when you go to the bank to open a card. You may remember it at the time, but you will definitely forget it within two days.

"Forget it, let's consider it today. You come fishing, and I'll watch from the side." Liu Yishou rehooked the fishing line and handed the bamboo pole to Yangjiang.

Mao Xi didn't look sideways, and didn't look at Liu Yishou and Yang Jiang who were whispering in their ears.He understood that this was Yang Kan's daughter, and he thought that if soldiers came to Jiankang and besieged Taicheng in the future, Yang Kan would try every means to open the door for Liu Yishou.

Or he will be suspected and face investigation.Anyway, for Liu Yishou, Yang Kan, the Zhige general who can fight, has been abolished, and he will even be a leader.

Seeing the big from the small, Liu Yishou is really scheming!

Mao Xi understands why everyone under Liu Yishou's command is so convinced and ready to do whatever he wants.No one is a fool, many things are seen through but not revealed.

In the future, Liu Yishou only needs to write a letter to Yang Kan, saying that Yang Kan's grandson will be made the prince in the future, and there is no need to think about what will happen then.

"Yanghu, the ancestor of your family, said a very famous sentence back then."

Having nothing to do, Liu Yishou simply talked about the allusion of the Taishan Yang family.

"What are you talking about?" Yang Jiang looked puzzled.

"The world is unsatisfactory, and there are always seven or eight out of ten, so there must be a break. This is what your ancestor Yang Hu said. If life is not satisfactory in this world, if one of the ten things is as you like, then it is already very good. The so-called It’s up to man to make things happen, and that’s what I’m talking about.”

"If you are not satisfied, there will be no satisfied person in the world."

Yang Jiang said angrily, at this moment, the fish took the bait.She lifted it hard, and a big fish that was as long as a forearm was pulled up.

Sure enough, Liu Yishou is the only one who can't catch fish... Mao Xi looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully.
