Chapter 1137: The Beginning and the End
Sun Ce often chatted with the military strategists. They are about the same age, some are a few years older than him, and they know the difference between kings and ministers, but they don't strictly abide by it, and for him, this is natural, and for others, it can be said that he is frivolous and undignified, or that he is approachable, the key depends on what you think. Anyway, the mouth is two skins, and it makes sense no matter what you say.
Fortunately, Sun Ce's murderous reputation is outside, and there are really not many people who dare to be casual with him. Zhang Chengliang is one of them. Zhang Zhao taught Sun Ce's younger siblings to study, and sometimes Sun Ce also went to listen to lectures and ask for advice, and Zhang Cheng had a friendship with him, and he also knew what kind of person Sun Ce was, and he was not afraid of him. There is also a reason why he was able to rise quickly in the shogunate of Sun Ce.
Networking is also a resource, and it is a very important resource. In this regard, Zhang Cheng has an innate advantage that is difficult for others to achieve. Now that Sun Ce took the initiative to chat with him, talking about his father and brother, of course he had to behave well, no need to exaggerate and show off, just tell the story.
Zhang Zhao was haunted by Zhang Fen's choice until the beginning of this year. After Liu He and others entered the country, all localities suffered heavy losses, and there was a shortage of grain in many places. In order to resume production as soon as possible and not affect spring ploughing, the Taishou Mansion ordered relief to the people. Zhang Zhao ran around, tried all kinds of ways to raise food, borrowed it from the family and Haoqiang, grabbed it from the family and Haoqiang who were attached to Liu He, transferred the counties that were not robbed, and even sent people to Yingchuan to ask for help when it was most difficult.
There are many ways to raise food, but in the end, it has to be transported to the victims. Transport is nothing more than two kinds: one by land and one by water. Vehicles by land and boats by water. The vehicle is small in weight and employs a lot of people, but it can adapt to different terrains. The ship is light and heavy, and there are few people, but it is limited by the terrain. Just when Zhang Zhao was hesitating, Zhang Fen appeared, he took out a planned road map, and asked Zhang Zhao to order all places to be transferred according to the map.
Zhang Zhao didn't take it seriously at first, and the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, so he did what Zhang Fen said. It turned out that this seemingly chaotic network worked very well, not only interfering with each other, but also basically equalizing the burden on the townships along the way, and there was no situation where one place was extremely burdened and other regions were not. What's more, Zhang Fen set up several assembly points, requiring the counties to transport the grain there, without the need to transport it directly to the destination, and the rest of the tasks were taken care of by the fleet he arranged.
The boats he arranged were all new, with a large load, easy operation, and a certain degree of protection, so that they could protect themselves even if they encountered a small group of thieves.
All in all, Zhang Fen used his ingenuity to prove one thing to Zhang Zhao: doing technology can benefit the people, and the results are immediate, the effect is extremely fast, and it does not need to take years to achieve results. In the subsequent spring ploughing, Zhang Fen presided over the wood school and came up with a few new farm tools, especially the improved plow, with only one ox, one person to control, to solve the shortcomings of inconvenient steering, the efficiency is also high, one person and one ox, a day can plow fifty or sixty acres. It can not only cultivate the well-shaped fields, but also the irregular small fields in front of the slopes. Because of these inventions, although Runan has lost a lot of people this year, there is not much arable land left.
Don't panic when you have food. The timely and smooth progress of spring ploughing not only ensured the possibility of autumn harvest, but also played a great role in stabilizing people's hearts, reducing Zhang Zhao's burden, and also made him really feel the role of Mu Xuetang, not just to make a few novel products.
Sun Ce was satisfied, but he also had doubts. If Zhang Cheng hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that Zhang Fen had made such a great contribution. Zhang Zhao didn't mention a word, and Yuan Quan didn't mention it either. It stands to reason that although the Mu Xuetang is under the control of the Taishou Mansion, most of the technical achievements have to be mass-produced by the workshop, and Yuan Quan and Ellan should be very clear.
Zhang Cheng smiled. "My father said that my brother's deeds should be commended, but not encouraged. He can have today, because he has a foundation of learning, and he will not deviate too far from the way of a saint. If it is promoted, people in the world will think that there is a shortcut, and it may seem that it will be beneficial for the time being, but in the long run, it will be detrimental to their personal development. Whether it is for work or learning, it is necessary to read the scriptures of the saints for a few years when you know the essence and the end. ”
Sun Ce also smiled. He did not disagree with Zhang Zhao's point of view, they did not differ in essence, only in terms of weight. Moreover, with Zhang Zhao's identity, it is not easy to have such an understanding. In front of Zhang Cheng and others, it is not appropriate to criticize Zhang Zhao too much. If he has any opinions, he can talk to Zhang Zhao directly, or he can talk to Zhang Cheng privately and let him tell him.
After a few words of gossip, Sun Ce stepped on a relaxed pace and returned to his main cabin. After thinking for a while, he came to the cabin, Yuan Quan and Yin Jiao were not there, Ellan was reading alone, and she was fascinated by it, but she didn't hear Sun Ce's footsteps. Sun Ce walked behind her, took a look at it, there were pictures and texts, the picture was a man and a woman, doing something shameful, judging from the tree painted next to her, it seemed that they were still in the wild. Sun Ce reached out and wrapped his arms around Ellan's waist, resting his chin on her shoulder, and his hand naturally inserted into the placket of her clothes, climbing to the peak.
"Yo, what kind of good article, so fascinating to read?"
Ellan was startled, and hurriedly put away the scroll in her hand, blushed, and stammered, "Husband, I'm ...... I wait for you to bathe. ”
"There's no hurry." Sun Ce laughed twice. "Tell me, what kind of knowledge are you studying, why are you so excited?" As he spoke, he flicked the two points on Ellan's chest with his fingers. Ellan is a bride, and it was when she tasted the marrow, and after being teased twice by Sun Ce, her body was soft and she couldn't stand, so she could only lean on Sun Ce's arms, her face flushed, and her eyes were full of spring.
"Do you want to know?"
"Yes."
"Then let the concubine wait for her husband to bathe, and then show it to you, okay?"
"I can't ask for it." Sun Ce said as he unbuttoned Ellan's coat, picked her up by the waist, and walked towards the prepared bathtub. "Take a mandarin duck bath first, and then go to bed and study slowly. Practice brings true knowledge, and it is better to believe in books than to have no books. Sun Ce suddenly remembered his intentions, hesitated a little, and after thinking about it, he felt that mentioning Zhang Zhao's old pedant at this time would inevitably ruin the atmosphere, and it would not be too late to talk about it tomorrow.
Ellan hugged Sun Ce's neck, ashamed, but yearning. She has been married to Sun Ce as a concubine for a few months, but there is not much time to be alone with Sun Ce, today she is alone in front of Sun Ce, both nervous and excited, a pair of wonderful eyes secretly stared at Sun Ce, seeing a moment of hesitation flashing in Sun Ce's eyes, slightly stunned, a little worried, and asked timidly: "Husband, are you in trouble?" ”
"It's fine." Sun Ce smiled: "I just want to know who wrote this article, since it was engraved, it must not be one or two, nor was it done by vulgar hands." Look at that pattern, it should be a famous person. ”
Ellan grinned. "Guess."
Sun Ce couldn't guess, holding Ellan in one hand, and opening the frontispiece of the text with the other, only to see that the frontispiece was written with seven beautiful seal scripts: The world is the most Taoist talk illustration, and there are a few small characters in the back: Chen Liucai's signature, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Cai everyone?"
