Chapter 979 (1/2)

”At that time, our Dynasty will be like emperor Shizu's resurgence, and there will be a lot of important things to be busy with. Kong Ming will certainly work harder at that time, but this is also a good opportunity to make a name in history. Kong Ming must grasp it.”

There are two main stages that can make a name in the history of the Qing Dynasty, one is the troubled times and the other is governing the world. Such as the struggle between the Chu and Han Dynasties, the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and ten states, all belong to the troubled times, while the founding and rejuvenation of successive dynasties belong to the rule of the times. With the chaos and governance of the world, a large number of capable officials and powerful generals naturally appear in the history books.

Zhuge Liang excitedly said: ”the general can rest assured that Liang must be dull and diligent.”

”Kong Ming doesn't have to work too hard. If he works too hard, how can he do great things?”

Zhuge Liang was a model worker during the Three Kingdoms period. It was probably Ma Su who was unable to use the Street Pavilion. He was on high alert since then. He couldn't believe anyone else. He had to do everything in his own hands. Later, he died five Zhang. It was not unreasonable for him to die too early after overwork. Liu Ye didn't want Zhuge Liang to die too early.

After Ma Jun got the profit and loss crossbow, he couldn't put it down. With Liu Ye's words, he had a lot of fantastic ideas in his mind. He almost didn't think about food and drink. He did not know how tired he was. After more than two months, he finally completed the improvement of Zhuge crossbow. He improved the crossbow into a detachable one, and each crossbow machine was as good as There are ten catapults in the catapult. After launching, they are disassembled immediately and replaced with new ones. In this way, it is not necessary to load them, which greatly improves the launching efficiency of the profit and loss crossbow.

And Ma Jun immediately reports to Liu Ye, who immediately gives Ma Jun a salary and a thousand stones, and at the same time orders mass production of the profit and loss crossbow. Because the crossbow of profit and loss crossbow is also special and can not be confused with different bows and arrows, all the blacksmiths in the army and even some folk blacksmiths were temporarily recruited by the imperial court to make Zhuge crossbows and crossbows.

At the same time, Liu Ye ordered the system of closing positions. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, hundreds of years later, the system of closing warehouse prevailed for a time. Because it depended on the productivity, the farmers had to depend on the weather. Whether the weather was dry or humid decided the grain harvest in that year. If it was not good, it might not be able to eat.

But sometimes it's a very good year. Farmers get a big harvest, so they can sell their grain and buy more land. However, some things are not so simple. It is the so-called demand that affects prices. If there is more food, there will be less demand, and the price will go down. That is to say, the so-called cheap grain hurts farmers and cannot be sold.

The so-called closing system, that is, to set up a government granary, when farmers get a good harvest, they will purchase the grain and grass in the hands of farmers at a higher price and store them for use. If the price of the ancient system was lower than that of the peasants, it would be a low price system.

The reason why Liu Ye established this system was that he not only established a long-term system to stabilize the rule and benefit the farmers, but also collected a large amount of grain and grass for military use. Because Cao Cao is about to be used, the whole country will have to mobilize its troops and horses. The grain and grass that we need to eat in a day will be calculated by tens of thousands of stones, which is an astronomical number.
