Chapter 103 Best Son-in-law
In order to achieve these evil goals, after sending Gao Shun and Cao Xing out of the country 200 camp gifts, Deputy Director Tao closed the northern border of Xuzhou without hesitation. Not only did he stop supporting the money and grain of Lu Bu's army, but he also completely cut off the trade between Xuzhou and Yanzhou. A piece of grain, a piece of cloth and a kilogram of pig iron were not allowed to be sold to the control of the Lu Bu army in Yanzhou. He used economic blockade to help Da Yuan Sangong and Cao Cao deal with his father-in-law Lu Bu! As for the reason, it was very ready. Lu Bu stopped the alliance plan to send troops to help Xuzhou army training without trust. Envoy Tao could not bear the humiliation and fought back angrily.
At the same time, in order to prevent my father-in-law from being angry and irritated, Deputy Director Tao also sent general Zang Ba to lead 7,000 troops north, increasing the number of troops stationed in Xiaopei, the northern gate of Xuzhou, to 10,000 in one breath, and preparing for a future to turn against his father-in-law and start a war.
When he met Deputy Director Tao, a top-notch son-in-law who turned against each other faster than flirting with books, Lu Wenhou was certainly caught off guard. In order to avoid further angering the top-notch son-in-law, he had to give up his plan to behead Gao Shun and Cao Xing and question him for a while. At the same time, he sent an envoy Wang Kai to Xuzhou to explain that he had to temporarily stop assisting his son-in-law in training under the pretext of the urgent war in Yanzhou. When the war situation in Yanzhou eased, Lu Wenhou would naturally send elite soldiers and strong generals to Xuzhou to help his son-in-law train again - so as to be a son-in-law, you must continue to support the poor father-in-law's money and food, so as to avoid the poor father-in-law's food being exhausted and destroyed by the Cao Yuan coalition.
"When the war situation in Yanzhou eases, I will send someone to help me train soldiers?" I finally caught a chance to vent my anger at my father-in-law's savings. Tao Ying was no longer polite to Wang Kaike this time, and rolled his eyes with his triangle eyes and hummed, "Thank you, no need, I'm sorry, Lord Wang reported to my father-in-law. My son-in-law was afraid that he would buy and win over his father-in-law's soldiers and generals, so there was no need. In the future, I will not borrow soldiers and generals from my father-in-law, and my father-in-law would no longer send anyone to help."
"Encourt, envoy, envoy, envoy, please do not act in anger." Wang Kai was anxious and bowed and said, "Please see clearly that the military situation in Yanzhou is indeed extremely critical. The three coalition forces of Cao, Yuan and Liu have all arrived at the battlefield of Juyang. Wen Hou alone fought against the enemy and was stretched to dispatch troops and generals. He was helpless. Then he ordered the recall of Gao Shun and the two generals Cao Xing returned to the army to listen."
"In order to fight against a strong enemy of 100,000, I was eager to transfer the 200 infantry that I had lent to me?" Tao Ying sneered and said, "I know the situation of the war in Yanzhou. As a junior, I will certainly not make things difficult for my father-in-law, so I decided not to borrow soldiers and generals anymore - so I would not let my father-in-law be suspicious."
"Then the food and grass that you promised..." Wang Kai asked carefully.
"I have served all the food and grass I promised before, and there are not a few grains. Does Mr. Wang have any questions?" Tao Ying asked back.
"No, no." Wang Kai waved his hands repeatedly and asked more carefully: "Eunuch, Mr. Wen wants the young envoy to ask, can the envoy support our military food, grass and military supplies in the future?"
"No." Tao Ying replied without blinking his eyelids: "Yuan Shu is cruel and ruthless. He dug up the Huai River and flooded Huaiyin. Huaiyin, which has a population of nearly 10,000, has no grains in the whole county. In addition to providing disaster relief and relief to the Huaiyin disaster victims, the money and grain in my hands also have to repair the river embankment to manage water conservancy, so I can't even take out a piece of food now."
When he came to the test field outside the south gate of Pengcheng, Chen Deng happened to lead a group of military farm officials to inspect the area. When the officials from Xuzhou came to salute the people in the fields, Tao Ying waved his hand to stop it, and jumped into the experimental field without saying a word to check the soil conditions. The hundreds of acres of military farms nearby were all fields that were sown and harvested according to the requirements of the pottery. After the Qingming Festival, soybeans were planted in the farmlands here, and then harvested in late August of the lunar calendar. Then, winter wheat was planted in the water, and then used the soybeans to increase wheat yield by using the ability of the soybeans to increase wheat yield, and at the same time, some soybeans could be harvested.
To be honest, Deputy Director Tao, who was not diligent in four bodies and did not distinguish between grains, could know the common sense of soybean fat fields. In the 21st century, Deputy Director Tao participated in a meeting to rectify bureaucracy. Because the service quality of the entertainment venues the night before was too hard. He slept on the table and snored. As a result, the new county magistrate who was in charge of the meeting was furious and scolded Deputy Director Tao in front of countless colleagues. Deputy Director Tao could only cheer up and listened to the speech of the meeting with a very rare concentration.
Coincidentally, the New County Magistrate gave an example of an amateur servant forcing an expert farmers to plow soybeans (i.e., the Tiantai plowing bean incident), and proudly found his own knowledge. It is said that the reason why soybeans can fertilize the fields is because there are rhizobia parasitized at the roots of soybeans. This bacteria make accomplices and aid evil people for humans and will make their own natural nitrogen fertilizer. Therefore, it only takes some wood ash fertilizer to ensure yield in planting soybeans. In addition, after the bean leaves fall to the ground, the nitrogen fertilizer is brought back to the fields to fertilize the fields. The developed soybean roots can loosen the soil, help the soil to ventilate and breathe, and solve the soil solidification problem after the wheat planting in the fields. At the same time, because soybeans are annual herbs, there is no need to worry that these residual roots will sprout and grab fertilizer, which will only rot and turn into fertilizer, increasing the yield of other crops. It is simply a traitor among crops! The scum among plants!
In order not to be arrested, I happened to listen to this passage carefully. Deputy Director Tao, who was not too stupid, remembered the common sense of farming in later generations, but it happened to be used. Now, from the soil situation, the crop traitor soybeans have a little more effective in improving wheat fields. At least these lands with soybeans are softer than the ordinary wheat fields used for comparison. At the same time, the farmers in charge of these fields also plowed the harvested soybean stem leaves and left them in the farmland according to the requirements of Deputy Director Tao. I believe that after the decomposition of nature, a lot of natural nitrogen fertilizer can be added to these fields.
After finally waiting for Tao Ying to stand up. Seeing Tao Ying turn his eyes to him, Chen Deng, the first military farming system in history, had already taken the initiative to say: "Report to the lord, 112 acres of land, the maximum harvest of beans (soybeans) per mu is 183 kilograms and 4 taels, and the minimum harvest of 125 kilograms and 6 taels, and the average harvest of 150 kilograms and 9 taels is quite good."
"What's the situation with the earthworm breeding?" Tao Ying asked again.
"This... is hard to say." Chen Deng, an outstanding agricultural expert in the Three Kingdoms era, rarely frowned on farming and replied: "Because no one has raised earthworms, the people and the military and civilians can only grope to raise them. According to the lord's instructions, they mixed human and animal feces with soil, green leaves, and melons and fruit peels evenly, and put them in shallow pits to raise earthworms. As a result, some of the shallow pits produce more earthworms, and some of the shallow pits do not have many earthworms. The specific reason for these situations is that, no experience has been summarized yet."
"Take it slowly, crossing the river by feeling the stones." Tao Ying comforted him and said, "The manure that has been raised in the earthworms can be used as fertilizer to put into the fields. As well as the artificially raised earthworms, they can also be evenly spread in these experimental fields, and wait for the results next year."
"No, lord, don't worry, I will make arrangements as soon as possible." Chen Deng agreed and asked in confusion: "But lord, earthworms are usually used in medicine. Do you use them as fertilizer for wheat fields? Is it useful?"
"Of course it's useful." Tao Ying smiled and said, "Earthworms are natural fertilizer-making machines that can increase soil fertility, relax the soil, increase the ventilation and ventilation of the soil, and help increase farmland income. But the only thing I can't be sure of now is how effective it is."
Chen Deng nodded in a slight understanding, and then Chen Deng suggested: "Lord, since that's the case, I think that the manure for raising earthworms can be used for the test field, not for part of it, and then some earthworm manure is used for part of ordinary farmland. In this way, after the winter wheat harvest next year, we can know how effective the earthworm manure is."
"Good idea, just do it." Tao Ying nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "We should also use the harvested beans carefully. It is a waste to eat beans and eat them. It is difficult for the human body to absorb unconverted bean protein directly. If beans are made into tofu, it is the best plant protein. Therefore, as long as there are conditions, the beans in the army must be processed into tofu and then eaten by soldiers. Also, tofu dregs are used to feed horses, which are also the best concentrate feed."
Facing Deputy Director Tao who refused to waste even tofu shit, Chen Deng was puzzled by Deputy Director Tao's new words, and was completely speechless with Deputy Director Tao's iron cock character. After respectfully singing the promise, Chen Deng asked curiously again: "Lord, have you sent me away from the envoy of Wen Hou?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't leave. I don't plan to see him again anyway." Tao Ying smiled and casually introduced the rough answers of receiving Wang Kai. Then Tao Ying asked again: "Yuanlong, in your opinion, what will happen after Wen Hou heard my two conditions? What will happen next?"
"I must be furious. Marquis Wen's face-loving and stubborn personality is famous in the Han Dynasty. He will not bow his head to admit his mistakes and slap himself in the face." Chen Deng replied with a smile: "As for Marquis Wen's next move, it is unlikely that he will turn around and go south to cause trouble for us. First, Marquis Wen is not sure to seize the city of Xuzhou from our main force, and second, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will not let him go, and will never allow him to occupy the three counties of Yanzhou for a long time. Therefore, I believe that Marquis Wen is most likely to muster up the courage to take advantage of the food and grass to gamble, and fight a major battle with the Cao Yuan coalition."
Speaking of this, Chen Deng added with a smile, "If there is really a battle, if Wen Hou loses, then everything is easy. Wen Hou will definitely come south again and beg the lord. If Wen Hou wins, then we may be in a little trouble. Given this, the lord should prepare for the future and not let Wen Hou win."
"It's reasonable." Tao Ying nodded and frowned and said, "But Lu Bu still refuses to turn against me completely. There are many methods, which is really inconvenient to use."
"This matter is very easy." Chen Deng smiled and leaned into Tao Ying's ear and whispered: "My lord only needs to write two conditions into letters, and try to be arrogant as much as possible. Then send an envoy to the front of the Marquis of Lu Wen. With the character of Lu Wen, the envoy will inevitably be killed and resigned. In this way, the lord will have an excuse to act freely. When the Marquis of Wen turned around and begged again in the future, will the lord have more prestige and moral superiority?"
Tao Ying smiled and said, "Let the assistant named Ni Huan go. The 10,000 yuan spent on the newly recruited concubine is obviously from Miji Store, but he dares to say it is his savings. It is time to send him on his way."
