My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 160

August, the beginning of autumn.

The sun shines through the clouds, still bright in color, but the temperature has dropped a lot.

Zhuge Liang sat on the four-wheeled vehicle specially built by Su Chen and was pushed by his guards. He came to the mountains and saw many figures cultivating fields in the mountains and plains in full swing.

Entering August, he decided on a domestic matter: measuring the land and determining the acres!

It was first tried in the wasteland around Yanjing. Anyone who participated in reclaiming the land would own the new land. After this order was issued, villagers in the suburbs of Yanjing flocked to sign up.

Families and families take the government vehicles that are picked up every day, and head to the mountains or plains to cut trees, weed, and reclaim wasteland. Every day, you can see a large number of people coming and going, with happy smiles on their faces. The fields are so welcoming to them. To me, it is the capital of survival. The cleared fields are full of laughter and children's play, with hoes digging and arguments and yelling, all mixed together to create an unspeakable excitement.

Zhuge Liang would go to different places to watch for a while every day. The smoke of fireworks made him feel happy both physically and mentally.

"It can improve the general's reputation among the people."

Another purpose of formulating people's livelihood has been quietly put into operation. Since the general took charge of the court, some people may not have seen the people's livelihood, but they have heard it more or less. The reputation of being a rebel in the past has also been quietly slowly faded away. twist.

In the vast north, the gentry and wealthy households were full of praise for the general. Most of them took the caravan of slaves to the northern snowfields. This was a place that many of them did not dare to set foot in person. Now there are slaves. Escorted by people, soldiers and horses of the imperial court, they personally set foot on the tundra and snow forest to watch the vast expanse of snow.

Sometimes people with itchy hands would spend a considerable amount of money, hunting in the snow forest accompanied by a slave slave, or galloping on a horse in the snow field, or buying fresh mountain products from the slave slave tribe.

And these, in turn, spawned a pack team to transport them back, and even thoughtfully delivered them to their doorsteps.

The slaves who benefited were even more grateful to Su Chen. Not only did they get money, but Su Chen specially hired craftsmen to build houses for them that would not be crushed by snow, so they would no longer suffer from cold and hunger in heavy snow days. Dead relatives.

The birth slaves were wild and unrestrained by nature. For a time, the birth slaves in Yanjing and the birth slaves in the army rushed to Yanjing and knelt down outside the general's mansion to express their gratitude. This move almost made the newly appointed Yanjing order Thinking of giving birth to slaves to rebel.

Soon, even more exciting news came back to the people.

The crisis in Fenzhou was lifted, and all [-] Wei troops were killed. Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and Lu Bu returned to the court. The army was still twenty miles away from Yanjing. Many people lined the streets to welcome them along the way. People in nearby villages and towns brought out the drinks at home. Place it on the roadside and beg them to take a sip.

At this time, most of the leading generals would turn a blind eye, and their subordinates would run out of the team from time to time, take a sip of the wine handed to them by the villagers, and then run back to the team.

The greedy man drank a few more bowls and was carried back by Sima who rushed out, causing laughter from the surrounding villagers and marching comrades.

Some of the Xiliang army who returned to the imperial court once served in Huben, Shibuya, and Longxiang. They had never experienced such a scene.

Soon, the army returned to camp. Xiahou Yuan, Lu Bu, and Zhang He rode into the imperial city in high spirits and entered the palace. The soldiers on both sides raised their spears and halberds to welcome the return of the three generals with the highest attitude.

in the hall.

Su Chen stood up from the tiger chair, raised his arms, and all the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the newly appointed civil and military officials, raised their hands and congratulated him in unison.

……

At Yantang Pass, Lei Tong stood under the banner with the word "Yan", pressed his sword and looked to the west of the city pass.

In the vast wilderness, withered heads stretch out like city walls. The people of the Yelang tribe who once lived here have now changed to new tribes and migrated back.

They rode on horseback and looked at the rows of heads. They stopped crossing this line, set up tents again, and continued to live here. However, soon, someone discovered that the grass and trees had turned yellow, and many leaves had dense gaps.

When someone on horseback rushed through the long wall of heads, an overwhelming swarm of locusts rushed into the sky, like a black cloud, densely packed and sweeping forward to the west.

After Yantang closed, black smoke rose, and the thick smoke was like a high wall. Some of the flying locust swarms felt the temperature, and immediately changed their direction and followed the swarm to the west.

...The autumn rain was like crisp, hitting the yellowing leaves of the official road. The carriage braved the fine autumn rain and moved forward slowly, and finally stopped in front of the city gate with 'Ding'an' written on it.

The figure with old knife marks on his face opened the curtain and walked out. In front of the city gate, Su Congfang led a large family and stood there, looking at the eldest son who got off the car with tears.

Yin Suhuan, who had a big belly, covered her mouth and cried silently.Su Lie's eyes were wet and red, and he quickly stepped forward, holding his brother in his arms with his only arm.

Su Yong gritted his teeth and sobbed, and patted his second brother hard on the back. After that, he walked to his mother Xiao Wei, knelt down, and presented a pair of jade pendants with both hands.

The woman tremblingly took the jade pendant and shed tears.

Yin Suhuan stepped forward to help her husband. As she sobbed, her face changed, she clutched her stomach and groaned, squatting on the ground weakly.

In front of the city gate, there was sudden shouting and confusion.

……

Wei Guopeng County.

The big ship coming from the north docked at the ferry bridge. Xiao Mo, dressed in green clothes and a bamboo hat, walked down and touched the contents of his bag. He stood in the street at a loss, not knowing where he was going.

Zhangzhou is adjacent to the south bank of the Hun River.

Su Ting stood among the mountains and rivers, wiped the sweat from his head, and walked leisurely on the busy construction site, where a camp specially used for turnover will be built.

Gold and silver utensils were exchanged in large quantities for grains from the state of Wei.

This was a plan set up by a seemingly weak-minded scribe next to him, the Guo Jijiu whom his cousin Su Chen stayed in Ding'an City!

Guo Jia had already known about Wei's massacre of Fenzhou, and he also knew that if he wanted to go south to Wei, he had to start from the most essential place.

Harvest food!

Through the aristocratic families here, they purchased large amounts of grain and sent it to the north, quietly eating away at them.

In Luyang, the capital of Wei State, the misty autumn rain stopped.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and horses galloped into the imperial city through the stagnant water on the street. The letter from the north was finally delivered to the Emperor of Wei after a month.

At the age of forty, he had seen many storms. A mere letter did not make him angry. It was just the last sentence and the outline of the dog wearing a robe and crown that made him grit his teeth and suddenly burst into laughter. .

"Come here, send this letter to the literary office and ask them to write a letter and scold me in the most elegant and vicious words! Then rush it for hundreds of miles and send it to the general of Yan State! "

……

In Yanjing, a monument engraved with names was erected, standing firmly on the flat mound.

Below and around it are densely packed square stone tablets, still carved with many names, looking at Yanjing in the distance.

All kinds of things are happening in this world.

Soon, a piece of news spread from the silent Yanjing at an extremely fast speed - Su Chen was crowned king and granted amnesty to the world!
