Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

The people of Zigui had an uneasy night.

The dismissed servants of General Li Yi's house brought out news: Uncle Liu Huang came from Jingzhou, and it was said that he killed Li Yi in the name of punishing the rebels!

Who is Uncle Liu Huang? The people in Zigui were puzzled, so someone went to find Li Gong and asked him for advice.

Unexpectedly, Li Gong, who had fled all the way from Yanzhou, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Uncle Liu Huang's name, and the panic on his face faded.

"Uncle Liu Huang is a benevolent king and will never infringe upon the people."

Li Gong left these words and sent the visitor away. He felt that with this news, he could finally have a good sleep.

The next day when the people came together, they found that the streets and alleys in the city were full of notices.

"Li Yi rebelled against his master three times. The first rebellion was... the second rebellion was..."

This notice is different from the previous ones that were sparing with pen and ink. It is fully written and the meaning is very straightforward:

Li Yi was a man who cheated on others, and now Uncle Liu, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou Mu, in order to prevent this thief from endangering the Han Dynasty, he personally sent troops to destroy him.

And considering that spring plowing is about to begin, Uncle Liu will soon transfer oxen, plows, and improved seeds from Jiangling. He will also arrange for craftsmen to build a water power plant by the river for the people to use. He will also send officials to teach new methods of farming and retting!

And most importantly, this year’s grain tax collection is only 30%!

This notice caused a small cheer among the people: everyone is not very familiar with Li Yi, and what Uncle Liu Huang mentioned about farming is what everyone cares about!

Among the crowd, some who had been to Jiangling and the Public Security Bureau were vividly describing the water power plants and other things scattered there, which made the people fascinated:

Stone mills and mortars powered by rivers? Our Zigui is right by the river, and the most indispensable thing is the river!

Moreover, it is clearly written that this year's tax is only 30%, and it is stamped with Uncle Liu Huang's seal. He shouldn't lie to us, right?

The uneasiness caused by Li Yi's death disappeared in an instant, and the people who were used to hard times were already thinking about how much surplus food they would have at home after this year's harvest.

Liu Bei and others only rested for one night in Zigui, and set out again early the next morning, leading their troops to attack Wu County.

The two hundred defenders of Wu County immediately closed the city gate, but the captain of the city guard looked at the thrown head of Li Yi and the two thousand soldiers behind Liu Bei, and finally made a wise choice to open the city gate.

Just like when Zhao Wei rebelled against Liu Zhang and disappeared when Zhao Wei died, Li Yi had the same effect on the Ba County he commanded.

Adhering to the principle that troops are valuable and quick before the start of the plan, Liu Bei also left hundreds of soldiers to guard Wu County and hurriedly set off again.

Departing from Wu County, we will arrive at Yufu on the 3rd day, Quren on the 15th day, Linjiang on the 8th day, and Jiangzhou on the 12th day.

Jiangzhou was already the last stop occupied by Li Yi, and for Liu Bei, this place was already quite far away from Jingzhou.

For more than a month, the group has lost a lot of weight, but even so, Liu Bei is still high-spirited standing on the city wall of Jiangzhou:

Yizhou, Liu Bei is here!

Chengdu is just around the corner!

Pang Tong was also very excited. Although the plan was proposed by Kong Ming at the beginning, it was modified and finalized by him, Pang Tong, and finally implemented. This sense of satisfaction filled his chest.

The feeling of depression that had been suppressed by Kong Ming since Jingzhou disappeared. Pang Tong also wanted to scream!

Standing on the city wall, Pang Tong glanced at the northwest with nostalgia. Although the mountains in front of him blocked his view, he knew that Chengdu was in that direction.

"If my lord has ten thousand capable soldiers, Chengdu can be conquered in two months." Pang Tong was not without regrets.

Since setting off from Linju, only three soldiers have been beheaded for violating military regulations, and another twelve soldiers have died in mountain streams, poisonous insects, etc. It can be said to be a miracle!

Moreover, they advanced in the front, and Zilong also led the army from behind to take over one after another. Therefore, the soldiers stationed in Zigui at the beginning also caught up again and brought new supplies.

Therefore, although the three thousand soldiers under his command are tired, they are still capable soldiers!

Therefore, Pang Tong couldn't help but think about it. If the available troops at this time were not 3,000 but 10,000, and Chengdu had not received any news, he could really consider taking it by force!

Liu Bei waved his hand, his excitement subsided, shook his head and smiled:

"Now that we have advanced to Jiangzhou and captured six cities, 70% of the reserves in the rear area for a year have been consumed. However, the soldiers are not injured and the people are not harmed. They only consume money and food. It is a great victory."

"If we attack Chengdu, the situation of great victory will turn into the situation of two casualties."

Pang Tong just talked, standing side by side with Liu Bei, blowing a completely different river wind, and couldn't help but think:

"I wonder what's going on in Jingzhou now?"

"Since Li Yi's head is useless." Liu Bei suddenly remembered that the head he used to open the city gate had been pickled with lime, and the effect had been remarkable for more than a month.

"Then let me edit a letter and send it to Liu Jiyu."

"Now that you've come here, you must tell the owner of this place the whole story."

At the same time, Liu Bei couldn't help but think:

"In the light curtain, the city of Chengdu was praised as being the city of Chengdu in nine days. I wonder what kind of prosperous scene Chengdu is at this time?"

…

The Gong'an County Government is now presided over by Kong Ming. As the Lord and Zilong's army set out, the money and food in Gong'an County flowed through Kong Ming's hands like running water.

Either they were pushed by wooden oxen to support the newly acquired cities, or they were carried by horses and sent to Yizhou to serve as food for the army.

The water power plant was operating at full capacity, grinding the coal obtained locally in Jingzhou and purchased from other places into powder, and then packed it and sent it to the front line.

Mi Zhu also became busy, and all the money he had earned before was converted into grain and grass, which was continuously transported from Jiangdong.

Lu Su was even so shocked that he wrote a special letter to inquire about the situation.

In this regard, Kong Ming chose to tell part of the truth: in terms of the division of counties and counties, Zi belongs to Jingzhou, and Liu Jingzhou only intends to take back the place that belongs to Jingzhou.

In Gong'an County, the water power workshop dedicated to Dr. Zhang has also been expanded to two. In addition to Jinchuang medicinal powder, medicinal powder for repelling insects, preventing miasma, and treating swollen diseases has also entered the production process.

During this busy time, Kong Ming also discussed with Zhang Zhongjing what kind of disease smallpox was.

Zhang Zhongjing stroked his beard, thought for a moment and said:

"Since military advisors are familiar with history, they should remember the eighteenth year of Jianwu."

Kong Ming's memory has always been top-notch, but he only took a few strokes to understand: "Ma Fubo?"

Zhang Zhongjing stood up, found a scroll of bamboo slips from the bookshelf behind him, spread it out under the light, found a line of records, and explained:

"At that time, there was a rebellion in Jiaozhou, and Shizu ordered Ma Fubo to put down the rebellion. The two sides fought fiercely for two years. The Han Dynasty records that General Fubo defeated the thief. However, when he was living in Jingzhou, he heard rumors."

"At that time, the bandits and bandits relied heavily on dangerous mountains, and General Fubo could not quickly defeat them. An epidemic arose from behind the bandits, and the rebels rebelled and were defeated by General Fubo."

"General Fubo killed tens of thousands of thieves and captured tens of thousands of people. However, when his troops returned to the court, the Han army also contracted the disease. The symptoms were similar to typhoid fever, with pimples appearing on the body. According to legend at that time, they were captive sores."

"Later on, there were occasional records in various states and counties. People at that time called it the god of acne and asked witches to drive it away."

Kong Ming sat quietly, feeling that there seemed to be an invisible giant beast opening its mouth south of Jiaozhou, ready to devour anyone at any time.

"Daqin's illness caused An'an's death, and An'an's friendship with Guishang... And Guangmu's so-called Indochina Peninsula has an ancient body and poisonous ways..."

Kong Ming felt that he had glimpsed the truth, and Shi Yuan's words came true. Smallpox may have already arrived!

"Is there a way to solve it?" Kong Ming asked.

Zhang Zhongjing shook his head, put away the old bamboo slip and said:

"Since Ma Fubo, we have never heard of this epidemic causing disaster. When the military advisor mentioned this, could it be that Jingzhou is unfair because of the epidemic?"

Kong Ming no longer hid it: "I heard a few days ago that the decline and collapse of a large Western country may be related to this epidemic."

Zhang Zhongjing listened intently to Kong Ming's narration.

After coming out of Zhang Zhongjing's residence, Kong Ming took a long breath and looked at the sky.

Ever since Light Curtain gained scattered knowledge, Kong Ming felt that the sky was getting wider and wider, and he had returned to the time when he was a child and ignorantly studying.

But fortunately, I am not Prime Minister Zhuge of the Northern Expedition, and there are many people around me!

…

There are always large armies passing through Zigui County. The people of Zigui County watch the armies coming and going, crossing Zigui and continuing westward along the river.

But the same thing is that it doesn't intrude on the people.

And just as the soldiers were coming, the people of Zigui County got what they wanted.

There is a small room next to the county house in Zigui. There are curved plows and a rough model of a plow in it. If you have money, you can directly buy a plow or a plow for your own use.

But if the family does not have much money left, they can choose to rent it from the county government. It costs nothing to rent, but the county government will charge 10% more tax when the harvest is harvested.

This is easy to calculate. Uncle Liu Huang said that the tax is 30%. Even if it is 10% more, it will only be 40%. 40% is not high. After all, the previous seller wanted glory and had to charge 60%.

Therefore, many people did not hesitate for too long and chose to sign the lease.

Li Gong was different and had quite a lot of money, so he directly chose to buy it.

As for the cattle, you can rent them from wealthy households in the city. It is not expensive if you pay based on the number of times.

It was almost time for spring plowing, so Li Gong and his son simply worked together to lift it into the ground and give it a try.

Although there is no intuitive comparison, Li Gong can also feel that this thing does save a lot of effort.

While resting in the field, Zhao A, a local, came over to drink some tea. His field was right next to Li Gong, very close.

"Mr. Li, if this state's pastoral capital were like Uncle Liu Huang, wouldn't you have no need to escape here?"

Zhao A asked.

Mr. Li was silent, and after a while he whispered:

"Uncle Liu Huang, like me, also escaped from the north."

Zhao A said "Ah", looking very surprised:

"But wasn't General Li defeated by Uncle Liu?"

Li Gong was too lazy to argue so much. Generals like Li Yi could only survive three days in the north, and they could only dominate here for several years.

After a while, Zhao A cautiously said:

"Mr. Li, do you think those people from the north will come to beat Uncle Liu Huang?"

"It should be possible, what?"

Zhao A felt a little regretful and said, "Uncle Liu Huang is quite a nice guy. It would be great if Zhou Mu could always be him."

Li Gong thought of Cao Bing who was so frightened that he fled here, and sighed:

"Let's plow the land first."

It’s true that I said I’m not good at writing ancient lines. What I’ve written can only be said to be a kowtow to everyone.
