Chapter 0386 Inspection

In May, there was drought and no rain, causing damage to agriculture and intensive military activities.

Yingchuan Yangzhai

The wheat in the fields is approaching maturity, and the patches are very beautiful. The villagers are busy among them.

A courtyard, near a small lake, with clear ripples and boats drifting by.

There were several people on the flat boat, but two of them were ordering tea in the middle. A faint aroma filled the air, and one person took a sip and sighed, saying, "The Zhou ritual says that the people who drink wine will provide the sixth drink for the king, one for water, two for wine, three for li, four for cool, five for medicine, and six for you - we haven't seen tea yet

Nowadays, the promotion of Dinghou is being followed by everyone, and the trend of drinking tea should be thriving

In history, there were only a few tea drinkers during the Han Dynasty. The rise of tea culture began in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty, and in the early days, tea was brewed.

Ye Qing had already stir fried the tea leaves early on, creating a tea drinking method that was no different from modern times.

Mr. Shuijing, it's not just about tea. Dinghou is involved in various fields such as papermaking, printing, steaming wine, ironmaking, water wheels, and everything else that benefits the world. It's really amazing! "The person on the other side sighed with bright eyes and said," Is it true that green smoke comes from a white rabbit and has a destiny

One of these two people is Sima Hui (Mr. Shui Jing), and the other is Pang De, both of whom are famous scholars. Upon hearing these words, Sima Hui remained silent and only looked at the lake from afar for a long time before saying, "Duke De, I have long observed a change in the dragon energy of the Han family. In the future, there will be endless wars and turmoil for more than a hundred years, and I have been avoiding Jingnan

As he spoke, the person sighed and said, "The current situation is just right for this

Youzhou

Liu Yu, the governor, and Gongsun Zan, the Marquis of Ji, had a small-scale internal conflict. Gongsun Du, recommended by his fellow townsman Xu Rong, was appointed as the governor of Liaodong by Dong Zhuo. Soon after, he established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong, separated from the Youzhou system in the form of a vassal state, sheltered refugees, integrated military forces, launched an eastern expedition against Goguryeo, and expanded his territory.

Jizhou

Bohai County Governor Yuan Shao planned to lure Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou from the south, forcing the death of Governor Han Fu. He also made peace with Gongsun Zan and led the Jizhou Governor, granting him the title of Grand Minister of the Yuan clique. He launched a purge of Han generals who were loyal to the court, causing harm to tens of thousands of people.

Xuzhou

Cao Cao and Tao Qian fought in Pengcheng, with a total of 100000 troops on both sides.

Yangzhou

Yan Baihu rebelled in Wu Commandery with ten thousand soldiers. Sun Jian sent Sun Ce to lead two armies to attack, while he himself moved his troops to Huainan and watched the battle between Cao Cao and Tao Qian across the river, plotting to benefit the people.

Among them, there are hidden dangers such as the underwater crisis in Luoyang, the division of Yizhou, the hidden currents in Jingbei, and the constant struggles and killings... Each side is eager to move, with dragon qi rising everywhere, wanting to chase after the true dragon body

Just recently, I suddenly discovered that there was a turning point in it. Although blood was still shining everywhere and dragon qi was scattered, there was a hidden resurgence of Han Dynasty dragons - now that the feudal lords have risen, only a few people with the strongest reputations are Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei

Among them, Liu Bei supported Yuzhou and was granted the titles of Governor of Jingzhou and Marquis of Dinghou. At that time, he was the most precious in the world of blue and purple. I have also heard of this rumor, so I conducted a special investigation

The mountain of White Rabbit Mountain is snow-white, resembling a white rabbit, which is considered peculiar. It is filled with a faint red smoke. Liu Bei's ancestral tomb is located at the foot of White Rabbit Mountain, bathing in this air. Although it is not ordinary, it is only a good cave, providing shade for his descendants and possibly leading to the position of prefect

Completely different from the current Qi phase, I was greatly surprised. Upon careful observation, I found that the Empress Dowager was approaching Xuchang, and now the rolling Qi was flowing towards Liu Bei. There was already a green Qi, or perhaps the ancestral spiritual blessing, with its own cloud Qi. Is this green smoke really mysterious

Upon hearing Sima Hui's words, Pang De stiffened and lowered his voice, "But Cao Cao, this dragon, is not inferior. I have also observed it

Sima Hui sighed and said, "Although that dragon qi has great luck, it is not orthodox. We must pay attention to this

Pang De nodded heavily, and for a moment, the two of them were speechless.

Yuzhou

The official road is built straight and wide, with large wheat fields on both sides. The wheat is lush and green, and it is almost harvested. From a distance, you can see three or three farmers busy.

A ox cart was slowly moving, inside sat an elderly man with a tall crown and broad belt, dressed neatly, sitting peacefully, and a young scholar sitting respectfully on the side.

At this moment, everyone was watching the farmland, and the young man said, "Lord Lu, Duke Xuande governs the country well, and the people are peaceful and the fields are abundant. You are truly your student

The old man was none other than Lu Zhi. He was somewhat comforted, but waved his hand and said, "I never thought he would be so successful back then. Sigh

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a horn in the distance, which meant to make people avoid it. The young scholar's spirit suddenly shook: "Sir, should you come forward and report

No, just avoid the roadside first, "Lu Zhi stood up and said.

The young man was somewhat disappointed, but still had the ox cart driven to a vacant lot on one side to wait. Several ox carts had already gathered here.

Gradually, as the horn sounded, teams of infantry and cavalry merged into a formation, marching in a red armor, emitting a dazzling light in the sunlight, making people awe and reverence upon seeing it.

The world is a strong army! "Everyone who dodged exclaimed in amazement. Ye Qing and other soldiers were all dressed in paper armor, with a cold temperament, a straight eye, and full of heroic soldiers - they were clearly veterans of hundreds of battles and elite soldiers.

Wherever they went, everyone knelt down. Although Lu Zhi didn't get off the car, he didn't kneel down either. He was stunned and didn't know what his thoughts were, and he was out of his mind.

However, at this moment, Ye Qing was unaware that he was reading documents in a car.

Carrying the empress dowager to inspect the farming workshops in various counties, accompanied by a large army, this was a deterrent.

Three thousand cavalry soldiers who escaped from Hulao were sent as forwards, with Zhang Fei as the general and Zhao Yun and Zhang Fangbiao as deputy commanders.

Seven thousand infantry and crossbow wielding soldiers, led by Ye Qing, followed by Hong Zhou, with Empress Dowager Luan driving in the middle and Lady Xiaomu accompanying inside

The field scenery in early summer is just right. Due to the scarcity of water, the trees are not as green as usual, and the crops are still lush, filled with the hope of farmers.

But Ye Qing knew that autumn grain could not meet the urgent needs of summer. Local construction, military equipment replacement, and years of warfare had made the finances of the state governors increasingly tight during this period. This alone could barely make it through. However, as the campaign against Dong was imminent, a large army would be launched, spending money like water. Who would ask for this money?

The army marched southeast along the Ying River, with a continuous stream of vehicles. The villages, towns, and fortresses remained silent, but I believe someone will soon give an "answer".

The Empress Dowager remained silent on this matter, and often her gaze fell outside the window.

At this point, I had entered Runan County and remembered appointing Xu Shu as the governor last year... Of course, that was all in the past.

Sometimes when passing by the orchard, the trees are lush and green, and it's not yet time to bear fruit. However, in the mulberry forest, there are always mulberry pickers busy, and their young and beautiful figures flicker in the green shade of the trees. These are our former subjects.

The Empress Dowager looked at them, then turned back to look at her pink daughter, and felt a sense of aging

In fact, she is only thirty years old, and as a queen, she takes good care of herself, which is the prime of a woman's life.

But in this world, women get married early and have children early, especially in remote areas where there is a lack of population. Every year in mid spring, the government orders eligible men and women to meet in Sanglin and elope, promoting population growth. Some women have already become grandmothers or grandmothers by their age and consider themselves as mature women at home.

Due to the unfavorable living conditions and short lifespan of people, it is necessary for the reproduction of the population, as well as to cope with the mortality rate of war.

The Four Barbarians in China have never been truly stable in a single year, let alone in times of chaos where a significant decline in their own population makes it difficult for them to occupy their existing land, and many other ethnic groups are eager to move around.

The Empress Dowager was a little worried, and subconsciously her gaze fell on a car in the distance. In the blink of an eye, she sighed again, "How can I manage so much now

Thinking this way, but looking back at the army, their armor was red, their crowns were like blood, and their morale was fierce.

Not to mention hundreds of generals, I heard that this army followed Liu Bei since he started his career in Zhuoxian. The Empress Dowager thought to herself: This is truly a meeting of great fortune.

Every time I see the mourning family, I get the illusion that it's a military force that I've been familiar with for many years

Ye Qing smiled upon hearing this, it was the unique Red Army aura of the Han Dynasty.

Although the barbarians were fierce, they were directly crushed by the black army of the Qin Dynasty back then, and were crushed again by Emperor Wu of Han for a hundred years, recovering a bit. Emperor Guangwu crushed them again... Being a great country and a small neighbor is like this.

The only main force of the Northern Desert Xiongnu that could once resist the Central Plains was the Red and White Army, which was driven far west and downgraded to the White Army's power... They may find it better to crush their targets.

Where there are people, there is war, but with various grand principles attached. When one's own finances are scarce, let's talk about the local tyrants bullying the countryside and refusing to accept kingization.

The governor also did the same in Yanzhou.

Yu Fan originally started his career in Changsha County, southeast of Jingzhou. However, most of the local people of the Yu clan came from Jiangdong, and the Sun family had intricate connections with the Jiangdong gentry. The vertical and horizontal marriage alliances were the strengths of the Yu clan, which quickly established a foothold in Jiangdong and began to crush hostile gentry who did not agree with the Sun alliance.

I heard that in order to form a marriage alliance, my three-year-old daughter Sun Shangxiang was betrothed.

The released "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not yet reached the stage of Liu Bei's continued marriage. Yu Fan certainly did not harbor disgust towards Ye Qing, but a few days ago when Ye Qing received this news, she was still speechless and circled her name, instructing, "Remember in the future, on this night of women and dragons, I want to see her appear in front of me

At that time, I thought about it and drew a circle on top of Big Qiao and Little Qiao as revenge.

Without the supervision of the Heavenly Court, Ye Qing felt that she was becoming more and more unrestrained in this land.

But this is just a funny story. Ye Qing quickly put these aside and considered the current financial difficulties of the state capital.

After thinking for a while, there was still no good solution. Like the warlords in various regions who were at war, Ye Qing could only find a group of fat sheep to attack. There were many disobedient tycoons in eastern Henan, northern Jingbei

This method of house raiding is estimated to only be used once or twice for emergency rescue, and even in western Henan, everyone will be in danger after that - therefore, house raiding is not the main purpose, but to digest the local situation and establish order.

After declaring military power and appeasing with governance, the usefulness of the Empress Dowager was highlighted. Combining righteousness, benevolence, and power can greatly accelerate the speed of annexing eastern Henan and northern Jing.

The Empress Dowager gradually felt something along the way, and took advantage of a visit from Ye Qing to quietly ask, "Is the Lord in a hurry

To be honest, the crisis in Luoyang is becoming increasingly serious. According to intelligence, Dong Zhuo's plan to move the capital to Chang'an has been confirmed, leaving very limited time for the heroes of the world. No matter how much delay is made, there will only be half a month left

Ah

So I hope these miscellaneous fish can jump out quickly, preferably in larger quantities, so that there will be fewer hidden dangers inside after they are cleared

The Empress Dowager was secretly frightened, but she thought of Jingbei. Following this method, there was a big fish... a big shark.

My lord... "she made up her mind and said," Perhaps the mourning family can issue an edict to transfer Yuan Shu to another province? The birth of an old official in the Yuan family will implicate the court and the people. This person's power as the legitimate son is even greater than Yuan Shao's

The Empress Dowager has a heart

Ye Qing raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, somewhat surprised by the woman's rapid transformation. Although she was not prepared to adopt the idea, this clever cooperation was still worth rewarding.

"Your authority can't be used lightly. You don't need to issue an imperial edict. After touring Yuzhou, I will take you to Jingzhou to see the landscape. People in Jiangnan remember that your hometown is Nanyang County? You can also go back to your hometown to have a look."

The Empress Dowager let out a "oh" sound, with a joyful expression, but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Ye Qing smiled as she worried about the safety along the way and said, "Empress Dowager, there's no need to worry. Xiahou Yuandun's army in Qiao County was blocked by Huang Zhong to the east of the Huai River. The counties in the Yingshui River basin in western Henan are already stable, and there won't be any military incidents from Yingchuan County to Runan County and Chen County

If it's not absolute, the Yingshui River enters the junction of the Yangtze River in Ruyin County, facing the Sun family across the river. It's hard to say if they infiltrate each other, but a ten thousand elite army is enough to ensure safety

A large number of grassroots non commissioned officers who have received military academy training, half of whom are veterans trained in Youzhou, as well as many border guards provided by the Zhang family in Yanmen, Bingzhou, and even old soldiers of the North and South Army who were expelled and persecuted by Dong Zhuo from Luoyang, were fiercely charged and shocked. This group of officials could not be more effective.

If there are powerful soldiers stationed and refusing to obey, what should I do

Generals Zhang and Zhao can lead their troops to eliminate it, "Ye Qing said calmly, hoping that more people would jump out so that more people could pay for the travel expenses.
