Chapter 30 (1/2)
The plan of a day is in the morning, and the plan of a year is in the spring.
Among the four seasons of the year, spring is the most important, because spring ploughing is needed in this season. If the spring ploughing is delayed, there will be no food for the whole year, and we will live on hunger. In troubled times, when there are so many people who have been killed, why are the living people still short of food? It was because of the war that they missed the spring ploughing, so they were faced with the plight of lack of food.
Among the Three Kingdoms, many princes were worried about food. For example, Cao Cao, the hero of the Central Plains, had suffered from wars and droughts, and there was no food and grass under his rule, so that his counselor Cheng Yu proposed the so-called ”human breast”, that is, eating dead human flesh. Because of the shortage of grain, Cao Cao was the first one among the Three Kingdoms to promote the cultivation of farmland.
In the famous battle of Guandu, although Cao Cao sent people to kill Yan Liang and kill the literati and clowns, Yuan Shao's spirit was frustrated, but the real turning point was to burn the black nest. Without food, Yuan Shao's whole army was defeated. After the fourth generation of Sangong, he only took more than 700 horses and fled back to Yecheng.
Although there are still thousands of stone grain and grass in Licheng, more and more people can't stand to throw themselves into Licheng. Liu Ye doesn't want his army to starve to death after defeating the Yellow turban bandits. Therefore, spring ploughing is absolutely necessary.
Liu Ye immediately put up an order that all the residents in the city could go out of the city to farm, and two thirds of what he got was his own, and one third to the Treasury. Nowadays, there is no yellow turban around the city. Therefore, the residents who were still afraid of hiding in the city dare to go out of the city. Anyway, with these invincible defenders, what should the yellow scarf thieves be afraid of?
Seeing that most of the people are willing to cooperate, Liu Ye can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If these people don't cooperate, he must be able to let them go out of the city to cultivate land. After all, there is no good thing in the sky. After all, he accepted the protection of Liu Ye, but he only knew how to eat but not to plant land. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
The people restored the temporary production order in Licheng. They went out to plant the land during the day and returned to the city to rest at night. When they saw the seeds sprouting, they came out of the fields. A touch of green moistened the vitality of all things. Liu Ye was relieved at last.
However, although the spring ploughing is important, the impact will be a few months later. Liu Ye is even more worried about the impending event.
He is a team leader.
Liu Ye has more than 1000 elite soldiers under his command, and more than 30000 residents have taken refuge in his command. Although it is said that he is in a hurry to exercise power, it is not a proper name and a wrong word.
When Liu Bei started his army, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the commander-in-chief of Liu Bei, who had ten thousand enemies under his command, why was he so bumpy that he failed to build a great cause? It was not because the official position was too small, but the big broken yellow scarf robber only granted a Wenxi County captain. Later, he simply whipped du you and gave up.
Later, the eighteen route princes formed an alliance, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, asked him to sit down. He also specifically said, ”I let you sit down, not because you are the magistrate of the plain county, but because you are a Han family member.”.
When he met the emperor in Xuchang, he was named general Zuo and recognized as uncle Liu. Later, Liu Bei ruled Jingzhou and occupied Bashu, which made a great achievement. Therefore, Cao Cao held the emperor in his hands, and all the princes came to ask him for an official. This is the importance of the position.
Liu Ye doesn't want to be a general, even if he gives it to a military Marquis or other divisions.
”Wude, you lead 20 horses to Jinan City. You must hand this book to the Minister of state, you know?” Liu Ye solemnly hands over the bamboo slips to Wude.
Wu De's face was awe inspiring, and he clasped his fist and said, ”elder brother, you have a destiny. You can't help but follow Wu De's will.” After that, he walked out of the County Yamen in a big stride. After 20 rides, they all drove out of the city gate.
