Chapter 877 Planting Sang Desang
“Tabooed?”
Hearing this, the young man glanced at the middle-aged man with a strange expression, as if he had heard some joke, and suddenly laughed impolitely.
After laughing for a while, he pointed to the south and said, "General Xiahou, there are seven counties in the south. The Yi people in the six counties all call the prime minister Zhuge Grandpa, and call his brother the Ghost King."
Then he pointed to the northeast, "Since the death of the late emperor, the Prime Minister has been assisting the Emperor for nearly ten years. Everyone in the world says that the Prime Minister governs the country well, and even the Emperor calls the Prime Minister his father-in-law."
“How many more honors do the prime minister receive than his elder brother? However, the prime minister is still respected by the emperor, so how can his elder brother be so jealous?”
At this point, he seemed to have remembered something, and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister wrote the "Biao Shi" last year, and the first sentence of the list was his brother's name."
“In the "Chu Shi Biao", the ministers of the bodyguard mentioned are all those who stayed in Jincheng and assisted the emperor. Among those mentioned as loyal and loyal abroad, only the elder brother has a name. "
"General Xiahou, do you think the emperor will be jealous of his elder brother?" As he spoke, he raised his tone again, "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a case of jealousy between emperors and ministers."
"If you don't believe me, just look at the former emperor who avenged the old monarch Guan. Although he was angry and launched an army, it also shows the importance of the friendship between the emperor and his ministers."
"During the Battle of Yiling, Huang Quan led his army to surrender to the enemy, but the late emperor thought he had failed Huang Quan and treated his wife and children as before."
The young man's expression became more and more meaningful: "General Xiahou has been criticized for being jealous. Could it be that he uses himself to save others?"
"In the opinion of the three generations of Wei thieves, they are either suspicious, narrow-minded, or angry. It is common for them to be jealous of their subordinates."
When Xiahouba heard this, his face was full of anger, and he interrupted the other party rudely: "Prefect Wang, don't insult people too much!"
The prefect Wang is naturally the prefect of Yuexun County, Wang Ping’s son, Wang Xun.
Wang Xun said slightly mockingly:
“When General Xiahou said that my brother was being tabooed, did he ever think that it would be too humiliating?”
“Now I am just telling a fact, but I didn’t expect that in the eyes of General Xiahou, it would be too insulting, haha...”
It goes without saying that Cao Cao was suspicious.
Just being Xun Yu has made later generations sigh with regret.
Cao Pi is narrow-minded.
Huang Quan surrendered to the enemy and was treated favorably by the state of Wei. Liu Bei blamed himself for failing him, and some may say it was just a show.
But if you are afraid of everything, you are afraid of comparison.
Yu Jin surrendered to the enemy in the Battle of Jingzhou and was later returned to Wei State. Unexpectedly, he was humiliated to death by Cao Pi.
Compare the two and make a judgment.
As for Cao Rui…
Xiahou Ba himself is the best example.
He was defeated and taken prisoner to Hanzhong, where he just paid homage to his ancestors.
The three Xiahou tribes (i.e., Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Shang) who stayed in the Wei Kingdom have now been summoned to Luoyang. They are called preferential treatment, but they are actually soft prisons.
Of course, this was the message conveyed to him by the Han people.
There is also news brought by people who defected to Shu from Wei.
More news came back from the caravan heading to Wei State.
Whether it is true or false, benevolent people have different opinions, and wise people have different opinions.
Xiahouba naturally wanted to deny it with all his strength.
But he understood in his heart: it may not be without reason.
Xiahou Mao (son of Xiahou Dun) was almost beheaded by His Majesty for selling grain.
Xia Houxuan (son of Xia Houshang) has always been disliked by His Majesty, and was later involved in a flashy case.
As for myself (Xia Houyuan's son), in the eyes of your Majesty, I have surrendered to the enemy.
Brothers who are still in Wei State are lucky to have escaped, let alone receive as much favor as before.
So thinking about it, the situation of the Xiahou clan in Wei at this time is really not good.
However, the more this happened, the more Wang Xun's words hurt Xiahou Ba's heart, making him feel ashamed and angry, but unable to refute.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's all Feng Wenhe's fault!"
If he could have killed himself when the army was defeated, how could he have suffered today's disaster?
At this time, Xiahou Ba regretted that he was too innocent and believed Feng Wenhe's lies from the beginning.
Why do you come to Hanzhong to meet your clan sister and offer sacrifices to your father and younger brother...
Fake, all fake!
How can those cruel and ruthless people be so kind-hearted?
It’s just clever words and seductions to lure yourself into trouble!
Now I have not surrendered to the enemy, but I have become a person who surrendered to the enemy. Even if I am full of words, I can't explain it clearly.
The news that Liu Chan's queen, as the niece of the Xiahou family, accompanied him to worship his father and brother, quickly spread throughout Guanzhong and reached Luoyang.
Assuming that the Han people did not deliberately spread the news, Xiahou Ba would rather believe that his father and brother are still alive in this world.
Perhaps it was Feng Wenhe who planned it.
With this thought in mind, Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and repeated it again: "It's all Feng Wenhe's fault!"
After saying that, Li ignored the king's instructions, reached out to take the horse held by his entourage, got on the horse, and rode forward.
Wang Xun didn’t take it seriously either.
These days, whenever Xiahouba mentions his brother, he always curses him angrily.
It's just that this person's identity is very unusual, and the relationship between Mrs. Zhang and him is even more complicated.
I heard that his brother also calls him uncle.
So Wang Xun couldn't do anything to him. At most, he could only argue with him for a few words.
The rest, as long as he doesn't go too far, is up to him.
Seeing Xiahou Ba's figure getting smaller and smaller, he quickly led his people to follow him.
Xiahou Ba rode his horse and ran for a while, and then he felt that the depression in his chest was slightly relieved.
He looked up and looked around, only to find that he had arrived at a mulberry forest.
Under the mulberry tree, some people were digging holes, and others were carrying dark things from other places and piling them under the tree.
Beside the mulberry forest, there is also a large reservoir.
Seeing that the work done by those people is very different from that in the north.
Xiahou Ba couldn't help but stopped again.
Since knowing that he was nominally "betrayed" by the Shu people, Xiahou Ba often jumped to curse someone named Feng.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhang Xiahou took Xiahou Ba away from Hanzhong in the name of returning to Jincheng to see the Queen Mother.
Although Zhang Xiahou had some criticisms of Feng, he actually quite agreed with Feng's ability.
Especially after going through the Hanzhong party, Zhang Xiahou had acquiesced in a certain identity of her youngest daughter.
So she still said some good things about Feng in front of Xiahou Ba.
After all, we have become a family, and we will eventually meet again. It is always not good for the relationship to be too rigid by then.
Just because the sister of the family said that Feng Wenhe was an excellent leader, let it go, because Xiahou Ba was not qualified to speak in this regard.
But it is really unconvincing to say that this person can even manage the local area in a way that few can match him.
Yunwen Yunwu, write a text that can pass on the world, leading the leader can break the enemy to expand Xinjiang.
Nowadays, the people of Shu have Zhuge Liang before them and Feng Yong after them. Is it possible that the country of Shu is really favored by God?
Xiahou Ba naturally didn’t believe it.
So he wanted to go and see for himself.
He knew that the soldiers and civilians of Shu had high morale, but when he arrived at Yuexun, he discovered that there was a lot of legacy of the Han Dynasty recorded in books.
When the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu, the Hu people heard that all Han soldiers were afraid of them, so they called them Hanzi, and they called them good men.
And here in Yuexi, everyone gnashed their teeth when they heard that the Wei thieves were determined to destroy Wei, which really frightened Xiahou Ba.
Not to mention the people's sentiments, even the people are engaged in farming and mulberry fields, which are far from the north.
He stepped forward and asked:
“May I ask this old man why he dug a hole under the mulberry tree?”
The old farmer who was wielding the **** stopped, looked Xiahou Ba up and down, and asked:
"Did this noble man come from somewhere else? He just arrived in Yuesun not long ago?"
Xiahou Ba was immediately shocked: "How did I know this?"
The old farmer laughed and pointed at the mulberry tree:
“Nowadays, all the mulberries used to raise silkworms in Yuexi are Feng mulberry. They are the best mulberry seeds that Feng Junhou has worked hard to find. They can raise good silkworms.”
"When the prince was in Yuexun, admonishing people to farm mulberry trees, he taught me that we should treat mulberry trees as food, and we should cut off the dead branches of mulberry trees in the spring."
Then the old farmer pointed to the large pond next to the mulberry forest and said, "At the same time, we need to start stocking fish fry..."
The more Xiahou Ba listened, the more confused he became: "Why put fish fry in the pond?"
The old farmer said it as a matter of course.
Seeing Xiahou Ba's confused look again, the old farmer laughed and patted his head, "I'm so confused. I forgot that the distinguished guest is from out of town."
"This pond has a special name, called fish pond. The prince said that there are many low-lying areas in the Sunshui River Valley, but when it rains, it is easy to cause disasters."
“So digging more fish ponds in low-lying areas and using the excavated pond mud to build pond foundations around them can reduce water damage. In addition, fish ponds can store water and prevent droughts.”
“The land at the base of the pond is fertile. If you plant mulberry trees on it, you can get mulberry leaves and raise silkworms without taking up any land. It’s a great benefit.”
Hearing this, Xiahou Ba couldn't help but be surprised and amazed: "So that's it! Then Feng Wen... um, uh!"
“That’s not all!”
It was rare for the old farmer to see such a foreign bumpkin who had never seen the world, and he seemed to be a noble bumpkin. He continued to talk enthusiastically:
“Mulberry trees are planted on the pond base, the mulberry leaves are fed to silkworms, the silkworm pellets are fed to fish, the fish manure is used to fertilize the pond, and the pond mud is clogged with mulberry trees. This is an endless process.”
As he spoke, the old farmer sang:
"In January and February, we will manage the mulberry branches and release fish fry; in March and April, we will apply mulberry fertilizer; in May, we will raise silkworms and sell them in June; we will use the silkworm pupae to feed the fish; in July and August, we will clean the pond and consolidate the pond foundation; at the end of the year, we will Weed and feed the fish every month.”
“The fish pond is wide and the fish pond is deep, the fish caught are salted and salted, and the salted fish are salted and sent to the army..."
There are salt wells in Yuexun, and together with the rice flower fish that Feng Junhou made back then, the salted fish in Yuexun is now very famous in Shu.
In any case, the Longyou Hu people all gave a thumbs up to the salted fish in their ration bags, praising the salted fish as fragrant, salty and delicious.
Xiahouba couldn't help but become a little crazy when he heard this slang song and talked about farming in Sangtang for a whole year.
“I heard that my father-in-law is not like an ordinary farmer. May I ask his name?”
The old farmer laughed again and waved his hand:
"I was just an old soldier who retired from the army. Later, I was misused by the prince. I stayed with the prince as a personal guard for several years, and finally followed him to conquer the Yuexi."
"Later, the prince led the army to the north and no longer needed my old body, so he arranged a position for me as a village elder. These things were all taught by the prince himself."
Xiahou Ba was stunned again. His face was suddenly cloudy and clear, sometimes red and sometimes blue, which was extremely exciting.
The old farmer didn't notice the change in Xiahou Ba's face, but he continued to talk:
“The prince taught us these things back then. He only said that as long as we follow what he taught us, everyone’s life will be better.”
“It’s just a pity that the Lord has not seen Yue Xun like this with his own eyes, and I don’t know if he is living well in Liangzhou..."
Xiahouba finally came to his senses and said with a forced smile:
“Old man, many people are saying that they want to sell grain to help Feng, Feng…junhou over there in Liangzhou. Why don’t you go?”
"Why didn't you go? I had asked people to sell my surplus grain two days ago."
The old farmer quickly clarified.
“Oh, oh, that’s it.”
Xiahouba cupped his hands as an apology and looked away.
But when I saw the water in the fish pond was slightly turbulent, I didn't know whether it was the fish coming up for air or whether it was wrinkled by the wind.
Seeing the green mulberry leaves around the fish pond again, he couldn't help but sigh:
“He is really a talented person in governing the world! Just looking at these fertile fields and mulberry ponds makes people wonder about his style in governing Yuexi…”
The old farmer had already bent down to dig a hole again. When he heard this, he stood up straight again and said with a smile:
“The noble man’s words really speak to people’s hearts. In fact, we often think about it, how great would it be if the king had the opportunity to come back and visit?”
“However, every time I think of the king, I have a place to go.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the west:
"Going from this official road, there is a large piece of fertile land, which was the place where the monarch personally cultivated. There is a monument at the head of the field with the inscription 'Marquis Feng once cultivated here', that's it."
Xiahou Ba didn’t want to see Feng Yong at first, but after talking to the old farmer and hearing something he had never heard of before, he finally became curious.
He thanked the old farmer with his hands, turned around and returned to the official road.
Wang Xun, who was originally some way behind, was already waiting there.
Xiahou Ba glanced at Wang Xun, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked:
“Prefect Wang, do you know where Feng Mingwen farmed?”
Wang Xun has always regarded his elder brother as the standard.
Although Xiahou Ba kept saying that his brother bullied him, since his brother called him uncle.
Then no matter how much I dislike Xiahou Ba, as long as the other person doesn't stir up trouble, I still have to pay attention to how to save face.
Seeing the change in the other party's attitude at this time, Wang Xun couldn't help but be a little surprised, and nodded at the same time:
“Naturally know.”
“Can I go and have a look?”
“Why not? I’ll lead the way.”
The group of people rode horses, and after a while, they arrived at the place where the old farmer mentioned and saw the stone tablet erected at the head of the field.
Xiahou Ba got off his horse and stood in front of the stone tablet. He looked at the green rice fields in front of him and remained silent.
Wang Xun stood beside him and said:
“Back then, my brother led the army along the road from Yuexun to Jincheng and left Yuexun secretly. By the time the people knew about it, he had already arrived in Jincheng.”
"After my brother left, the Yuexun government carried out his legacy policy unchanged. A few years later, the people had enough food and clothing. Someone erected this stone tablet on the place where he personally cultivated to remember his kindness."
Xiahouba’s eyes changed, his face was complicated, and he murmured for a long time:
"He can be remembered so well by the people. My sister must have not lied to me."
His heart was even more turbulent.
Feng Yong has already achieved such achievements at a young age. He will definitely become the pillar of Shu after Zhuge Liang in the future.
There was Zhuge before Shu and Feng Yong after him. Is it possible that he was really favored by God?
While he was thinking, his hand unconsciously touched the stone tablet.
At this time, someone in the distance shouted angrily:
“Stop it! Damn it! Who are you? How dare you touch this stone monument!”
Xiahou Ba subconsciously retracted his hand and looked at the sound.
I saw a few young men running over with sticks. When I saw that these people were wearing weapons around their waists, I knew they were not ordinary people. I still had the courage to ask:
“Who are you?”
Xiahou Ba saw that although the other party spoke Chinese, their accents were very strange, and seemed a bit like Luoxia, which was very awkward.
More importantly, looking at their dress, they still have an obvious barbarian style.
The entourage had already surrounded Wang Xun and Xiahou Ba, with their hands on the handles of their swords.
Wang Xun pushed away his entourage and bowed his hands to several young men:
"We came down from the county government to inspect farming, and we came here specifically to see how the monarchs were doing in those days. May I ask who they are?"
When several young men heard this and saw the opponent's formation, they knew that it must not be a lie. The leader mustered up the courage and said:
"It turns out to be an official, sir, but you can only see and hear, so why are you still touching the stone tablet? This is my family's land, and you are not allowed to touch the stone tablet."
Hearing the word "Sir" spoken by the other party, Xiahou Ba knew that these people were Yi people.
"It turns out that the master has arrived, but we didn't pay attention for a moment. Don't blame us."
Wang Xun apologized quickly.
Xiahou Ba couldn't help but interjected: "Your land?"
Didn’t you say that this is the place where Feng Mingwen farmed?
How come it has become the land of barbarians again?
“Of course!” Lang Jun, the leader of the Yi tribe, said with his head raised and his chest high, “When Feng Junhou was farming here, we even caught fish for him!”
“That’s right, we caught fish for Junhou for a long time, so Junhou later gave us these lands for planting, saying that Han and Yi are one family.”
One hundred loaches are exchanged for one meatloaf!
They can’t forget the taste of the meatloaf to this day.
When talking about this matter, the faces of several foreign men were filled with pride.
“The prince also taught us to sing. If you don’t believe it, I will sing it to you.”
“The pond is full of water, the rain has stopped, and the mud on the edge of the field is full of loaches..."
Hearing this, Xiahou Ba was confused. What kind of slang is this?
Why does your voice sound so weird?
Could it be that the Yi dialect comes from somewhere?
Prefect Wang's face twitched on the side.
Ha
But fortunately, the current story is that in order to test them, Feng Junhou asked them to catch loaches...
These Yiren young men have suddenly transformed from fools into protagonists who have adventures in the story.
