Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1054 Pingyang Professional Pig Farmer

   Grain...

  I wish there were potatoes at this time.

   Fei Qian was a little depressed.

  Although this thing is everywhere in the future, no matter which supermarket must have it, even if it is not fresh, there are various products made of potatoes, but now, this thing is rarer than gold.

   I can’t see it at all. At this stage of time, potatoes should still be thrown around in the hands of American Indians...

   And sweet potatoes.

   It should still be in America.

Fei Qian thought maliciously, is it because these aborigines in the Americas have these two high-yielding food species, so they don't have much enterprising spirit, which led to the fact that they encountered hungry and crazy European aborigines in the later stage? After all, food and clothing If you are free from worries, you will naturally lose the thought of fighting everywhere.

  Now in this Eurasian continent, is there another high-yielding species?

   seems to be gone.

  The food in the Han Dynasty was already very comprehensive, and basically most of the food in later generations was available, more or less.

   How to obtain more food on the barren land is a big problem, and Feiqian is like a greedy old landlord, thinking about how to dig more land...

  This problem is not a small problem.

  Of course, the Linghu family in Shangdang, and the Wang family and Wen family in Taiyuan, etc., dig out their old foundations, and it is estimated that a batch can be produced, but this is not a long-term solution.

   Unless Fei Qian still wants to fight all kinds of arduous struggles with the gentry in his life, the first step is to go out first. In this source of food and grass, he should not rely too much on the gentry.

   Cannibalism has short mouths and short hands, since ancient times, it has always been the case.

  In the Han Dynasty, it seems that foreign relatives and eunuchs took turns to govern, but the political territory was always divided into three parts of the world, and part of it was the so-called Qingliu, that is, the gentry.

Now, Fei Qian is in it, and he knows more clearly that in later generations, many things in the Han Dynasty have been obscured by the dust of history, so many people think that the gentry was at its peak in the Wei and Jin Dynasties , the so-called Wei and Jin clans had a far-reaching influence, stretching to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and even later generations.

  This argument is half right and half wrong. The gentry in the Han Dynasty is already too big to lose its tail. If the Wei and Jin Dynasties are regarded as a sign of the gentry's peak, then the Han Dynasty has already reached at least three-quarters of its height at this stage.

   There are also some gentlemen who advocate violence and say, what are the gentry? They go up with a knife and either eat noodles with a knife or noodles with a knife. Those unarmed gentry can’t be obedient?

  But only after truly understanding the history of the Han Dynasty, can we deeply understand those very unreasonable events in the history of later generations...

  Why did Yuan Shaoneng of the fourth generation and third prince get Jizhou without bloodshed?

  Why did Zhang Miao, Cao Cao's good friend in the early years, meet Lv Bu with Chen Gong and betray Cao Cao?

  Why did Guo Jia judge that Sun Ce would not live long without any contact with Sun Ce?

  Why did Sun Quan massacre the four families of Zhang, Gu, Zhu and Lu, and finally turned around and married the turtle-like Lu Xun?

  Why did Cao Cao ask Sima Yi to become an official repeatedly, but after letting Sima become an official, he still refused to reuse him?

  Why Yang Biao has already been taken care of by many people, and he has retreated to the second line, but Cao Cao still thinks that Yang Xiu must die, and he can only act with military law?

  Why, under the many whys, under the thick historical dust is the rolling waves of the power of the gentry aristocratic families. In three or four hundred years, the gentry family has been cultivated into a behemoth, and it didn't just fall to the ground with a bang in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Although the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was proposed in the later period of Cao Cao, it already meant that Cao Cao was completely Compromising with the gentry family, he completely abandoned his original recruitment order and the meritocracy system in exchange for the Cao family being able to replace the Liu family and ascend to the throne of emperor.

   There is also the famous saying "today the heroes are the only ones who make the king and Cao's ears". Is it because Cao Cao is just trying to test it?

Whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or even Sun Quan, in fact, the three of them have been in love with the nobles all their lives, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei are somewhat similar, both have the ambition to calm down the troubled times, and have encountered such and such setbacks, all the same Survive in adversity again and again, so at least some of Cao Cao's words are sincere.

  The selfishness of the gentry is concealed under politeness. When Fei was hiding in the Lushan wooden house, he discussed the issue of the gentry with Pang Tong and Xu Shu. At this stage, you cannot do without the gentry, but you must not rely too much on the gentry. Once you are too involved with the gentry, it will be difficult to turn around. The Battle of Chibi depends on the battle, maybe Cao Cao's policies and strategies of meritocracy can really be maintained to the end...

  But history didn’t go like this. Liu Bei stayed in exile without changing his ambitions. Cao Cao experienced countless conspiracies and betrayals. Sun Ce finally fell in front of the iron curtain full of conspiracies and filth. Sun Quan buried his hatred and ideals with pickle...

   Fei Qian didn't want to take such a path, so he had to go his own way.

   As for this road, Fei Qian only took a little step.

  The first step is to step on the education of the barbarians...

  The second step is to step on the source of money and food...

  The land of Pingyang is regarded as the money and food in his hands, and he also supports himself to fight from south to north, but the land of a city is limited after all. After expansion, relying on Pingyang alone will not be able to maintain the expenditure of the whole situation.

If the land of Yinshan wants to become a productive area like Pingyang, one has to wait for people, and the other has to wait for land. The land full of green grass is fertile, but the crops and remaining grass seeds still cannot be competed for. Yes, it takes two or three years of deep plowing to completely clean up the weeds in the ground before the yield will really increase.

Therefore, there must be additional sources now, otherwise I can only stand still and save money now, or when something really big happens, I can't even get out the soldiers and the team can't be dispatched, then it will be a big deal joke.

   But now how to obtain new food and grass resources?

Fei Qian stood up involuntarily, walked around in circles in the hall, and suddenly saw the items placed on the table, and suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and couldn't help but patted himself on the head lightly, oops, In fact, I still have some solidified thinking. In fact, it is still possible to change the angle...

  ………………

   "General, the commander of Baishiqiang is here..." Fei Qian's personal guard reported outside the hall

   Feiqian stood up and greeted the outside of the hall. At a glance, he saw the big white Baotou on the head of the handsome Qiang man Linagu. It is said that the white towel Baotou in northern Shaanxi was spread because of the habit of the Qiang people?

   "Old friend, long time no see..." Fei Qian greeted Linagu with a smile.

   "Dear General, yes, it's been a long time..." Linagu stroked his chest as a salute, and bent towards Fei Qian.

From time to time, Fei Qian is now very different from when he first arrived in Bingbei. Although the relationship between Fei Qian and the Qiang people has always been good, it doesn't mean that the handsome Qiang people in Linagu can remain the same. Treat Fei Qian more casually as before.

   "Come, please sit down." Fei Qian invited Linagu to sit in the hall, and then ordered some tea soup, dried fruits and snacks.

  After the attendants came up and retreated like flowing water, Fei Qian smiled and invited Linagu to drink tea and snacks.

Linagu was a little confused, and suddenly received Fei Qian's invitation, and rushed over from near Guide. He didn't know what Fei Qian's intentions were, but since he came, he had to wait for Fei Qian to reveal it. The cards are up.

  But soon Linagu was attracted by the exquisite snacks on the table...

Feiqian pointed to a kind of pastry at random from the bean container on the table, and said to Linagu, "This is shortbread cake. The ingredients are similar to yours, but the method is different, so the taste is still good. That's right, why don't you try Baishi Haoshuai?"

   "Okay, okay..." Linagu looked at the exquisite and small pastry, and couldn't help pinching a piece of it with his fingers, as if he was afraid that the pastry would be crushed if he used too much force.

  This butter cake is so golden that it is very eye-catching. It smells sweet and is obviously added with sugar. In this year of the Han Dynasty, it was actually not easy to have a little sugar.

  Most of the crops in the later generations were almost developed by the ancestors in the Han Dynasty, such as millet, millet, rice, wheat, bean, beam, etc., which are basically very common in the market. And using these as raw materials, the food produced is also diverse.

   And there are more fruits, such as peaches, apricots, plums, pears, dates, longan, lychees, oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, persimmons, bayberries, plums, pomegranates, etc., Feiqian has seen them all.

   The varieties and rich styles of food were actually not bad in the Han Dynasty.

  Rinagu put the butter cake in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he nodded in praise.

But all human beings seem to be born with a preference for foods with more oil and sugar. This seems to be something engraved in the genes. Even children of two or three years old cannot resist sweets, let alone those with added fat. Afterwards, a little more aroma.

  The barbarians on the grassland are actually very active, and because the geography is colder, most of them like something with a strong taste, and this short-cake is just like that.

Linagu nodded, slammed his mouth, and said with some doubts: "General, this taste... this, it seems..." Linagu was a little puzzled, because the taste in the butter cake was very fragrant, but it was neither the smell of sheep oil, It doesn't taste like butter either.

  Fei Qian chuckled and said, "...Hehe, as long as Haoshuai likes it...it's just that the procedures are a bit special..."

   Speaking of business, Linagu immediately put down the butter cake, leaned forward slightly, and listened to what Fei Qian was about to say.

"...Actually, I invite Brother Baishi to come today. There are two things...First, we Han people like to raise some animals just like you Qiang people, but most of you Qiang people raise cattle and sheep, while we Han people The ones raised are a bit more messy, basically all kinds of chickens, ducks, cats and dogs..." Fei Qian said slowly, as if chatting, "...And then, this time, I specially invited Baishi Haoshuai to come over, just like inviting Marshal Baishi assigned me a few experienced animal breeders. After all, the Qiang people are better at raising animals...Of course, the reward will naturally satisfy Brother Baishi..."

"...Hey, this is an old friend, why don't you ask for a reward, hahaha... But, I don't know, this, what kind of animal does the general want to raise?" Li Nagu smiled, but there were also some hesitation asked.

  It is not a big problem for the Han people to raise livestock, but if General Fei Qian of Zhengxi raised it deliberately, there must be some problems. Although Linagu is a Qiang, his mind is not so rough that he doesn't care about anything.

Fei Qian smiled and said: "...It's not cattle, sheep, or horses, haha, don't worry about Baishi Haoshuai! Speaking of these big guys, the Qiang people are still well-raised, and we are still close... Besides, we can't rob old friends business, isn't it?"

It's fine if it's not cattle, sheep and horses. Linagu immediately relaxed a little. For the Hu people on the grassland, cattle, sheep and horses are like the land of the Han people, and they are all of equal importance, so as long as Fei Qian is not staring at them These important livestock, then naturally it is easy to say.

"...This time, for me, I want to raise more domestic pigs..." Fei Qian said lightly, "...But it's not interesting to raise one end and two ends, and you can't add more meat to the sons and daughters in the army, so, I wanted to find a piece of land in the southern suburbs of Pingyang, and then use it exclusively to raise domestic hogs, at least four or five hundred... But my sons and daughters have never raised so many, so I was a little worried that it would not be good enough, so I came here Brother Shiraishi, please help, find some good hands..."

   It turned out to be raising pigs...

  Baishi Qiang Li Nagu heard the words, and immediately put his heart into his stomach.

   Pigs are animals that can only be used for food. They can neither go to the battlefield nor work, so they are not considered by the Qiang people at all, and few people feed them specially.

  Therefore, on the prairie, there are no Qiang people who specialize in raising pigs. Occasionally, when they want to eat, they go to the forest to hunt one or two. However, the taste of this pork is not very good, it is not as good as beef and sheep. The taste of General Zhengxi is a bit strange...

   But, who cares.

   "...Naturally, since the general asks for help, there is no problem. After I go back, I will choose a few well-stocked men to help the general!"

"Okay! Brother Baishi, talk quickly, come here, replace wine with tea, finish this bowl first, and let's have a few more glasses in the evening!" Fei Qian said, "...Is this the second thing...Zi Chu, let Someone brought the brocade box on the table in the back hall..."

   Attached is a piece of literature, which is a radio speech given by the salt-bearer of the Confucian family for a thousand years at a certain period. You can experience the spirit of the aristocratic family.

   Due to space limitations, it is divided into two paragraphs...

   Kong Lingyu in Qufu commemorates Christmas, and would like to inform all compatriots all over the country that today is the 2494th anniversary of the birth of Confucius, the great sage and great teacher. Just like last year’s national festival, an enlarged commemorative ceremony will be held. However, this year commemorating Christmas, we pay special attention to publicity, hoping that the belief of respecting Confucius will spread among the people. Therefore, holding a grand national sacrifice is not just a spectacle, but also has great significance. Hereby mention it.

   1. Create a new nation in Tao. Confucius taught people methods, with Mingde Xinmin as the program, and the best of Xinmin lies in being close to the virtuous and benefiting. Since then, the meaning has been unclear, and ordinary scholars and people may tend to be utilitarian. Therefore, the expansion of publicity this time is intended to arouse national self-consciousness. One is based on the teachings of Confucian Gangji ethics, so they unite with each other and work together to eradicate Britain and the United States. Take all the old pollution, wash away, and present a new atmosphere. This means one.

   2. Building a new country. The rise and fall of our country's governance and chaos in the past two thousand years has always been based on the strength or weakness of following the way of Confucius. Since the Qing Dynasty, when Western material civilization was imported, the political and economic system changed. Those who are superficially contemptuous of Confucianism, and even blatantly advocate the abolition of sacrifices, do not know that the situation of republic is actually caused by the theory of Confucius. Gou Yuqi's special spirit, practice in practice, self-sufficiently carry forward the glory of the country, and prosper the country's destiny. Try the friendly country of Japan. Since the Restoration, Confucianism is still respected, and it has become a first-class power in the world, which is also a proof. The friendly countries are the first to whip, and our country should follow the policy. To coexist and co-prosper. This means two...
