Chapter 58: The First Trace of the Yellow Turban
At a time when the small-scale peasant economy is the main body and even the officials' salaries are calculated in terms of how many stones, there is no such thing as living without business. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Bei is not interested in business and economics at all. The emperor doesn't value this. Of course, the emperor doesn't seem to value much, as long as the world doesn't make trouble for him, he can completely ignore it......
Accompanied by the county Cheng, Liu Bei went to the countryside with great interest to investigate, and the object of the investigation was naturally agriculture. Liu Bei was also born in a peasant family, and when he was a child, he herded cattle, planted seedlings, and chopped firewood, basically doing everything he could. When I arrived in Dahan, to be honest, I really hadn't farmed. By the time he came to his senses, the family's fields had been sold. Now that he is in charge of the seal of a county, this agriculture is the foundation of the world, so it is natural to understand and understand this aspect.
Then Liu Bei found out that at this time, he used a wooden pouch for digging clay, used to dig hard soil, broke the soil after turning the soil, used a rake to break the soil, and there were many farm tools that he seemed to know but couldn't name...... At this time, ox ploughing had not completely replaced ploughing.
Liu Bei observed the Changyuan plough commonly used at this time. After reading it, I feel that there is a big difference with the plough of later generations, the long plough is super long, there is a balance on the wheel, and the left and right drive two oxen, but it is very difficult to turn around. I looked at the iron ploughshare at this time, some were big and some were small, but they were also very different from later. Liu Bei thought about it, and remembered what the Quyuan plow was like, so he instructed a few experienced old farmers to find the left and right, and pointed to the Changyuan plough one by one. When the old farmer heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't imagine that this young doll official still knew how to farm. It's amazing.
The county Cheng next to him was also stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't figure out when Liu Bei studied agriculture again, and remembered that Liu Bei was the great power to create the Gewu School, and he was relieved. Liu Bei drew a drawing and instructed the old peasants to go to the county to find one or two of the superintendents to make them, see how effective they were, and then improve them according to their experience. After all, Liu Bei can only say a rough idea, and the adjustment in specific aspects still needs to be made by these experts. In the end, Liu Bei walked around again, and after looking at the irrigation facilities at this time, he got up and prepared to go home.
At this time, there were roller wells, orange wells, various ditches, and stepped paddy fields. In addition to the lack of agricultural machinery, which is basically not much different from later generations, Liu Bei guessed that the yield of the field at this time was far less than that of later generations, and it was estimated that most of it was due to seeds. In this regard, Liu Bei was also helpless, and there was nothing good to think of.
After walking for a while, Liu Bei suddenly saw a group of people kneeling on the ground in front of him, and a person in yellow clothes in the middle was muttering something there. Liu Bei was puzzled, so he said to the left and right: "Come forward and ask what's going on." After saying that, he rode his horse closer.
Liu Bei watched quietly in the periphery for a while, and then he understood, it turned out that he was a Taoist who often came here to see doctors and deliver medicines for others, so he was supported by hundreds of people. Today, after the medicine was distributed, this man is preaching here. After talking about heaven and man, gods and immortals, he said to everyone: "Do you know why in the past few decades, my Han has been plagued by disasters and strange things? That's because the heavens are angry and want to change the heavens! ”
Just this sentence raised everyone's appetite and focused their attention. This kind of taboo is not allowed to be talked about by the government, but the people love to talk about this taboo topic, and the more mysterious they are, the more they like it. Ancient and modern.
This Taoist saw everyone looking at him curiously, and he couldn't help but be proud in his heart, but he said in a tone of a Taoist master: "Between heaven and earth, the five virtues rotate, and all things also have life and death. Thinking about the Great Shang Dynasty, it is only 600 years, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has also lived for 800 years. The elders of my division watched the sky at night, and found that the emperor star was unstable, and there were dragons in various places. ”
He was too deep into the play, and when these words came out, he couldn't help but bring a trace of compassion and compassion, which made everyone feel that he was a man of the way. At this time, the people were a little confused, the world was going to be in chaos, was it time to change the emperor? So what do we do? has been a subject of the Han family for hundreds of years, but now I can't help but feel at a loss. Then a bold person asked: "Immortal Chief, what should I do?" ”
The Taoist man's face was bright, floating out of the dust, he stroked the willow whiskers under his chin, and said with a smile: "It's okay, as the so-called heaven has the virtue of a good life, the poor Taoist master is the ancient immortal gate, and sending poor Dao and other disciples to come out and walk in all directions is to save the people in the world from the flames of war." In this way, great merit can be obtained, and from then on, the practice will be completed and soar day by day! Don't panic, but wait at home and wait for the opportunity, and then there will be people of great luck to lead you out of suffering. Then you should follow the command. Poor Taoism teaches you an auspicious saying: The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! Remember, don't leak it. After finishing speaking, ignoring the kneeling of the people on the ground, he waved his sleeves and floated away.
If it weren't for Liu Bei being a person in later generations, I am afraid that he would also be bluffed by this magic stick, this person's appearance is really good. A good skin, coupled with a dusty temperament and a compassionate mind, all show that he is really a fairy-like character. It's no wonder that as soon as he said it, everyone believed it. Only Liu Bei frowned secretly, thinking that Zhang Jiao's subordinates were all this kind of super fools, and the world was really over. This person just said directly from the way of heaven, from the five virtues of yin and yang, that the national fortune of the Yan Han has declined, and then it said that in people's hearts, the so-called country will die, there will be demons, if it is not said that the national fortune of the Han Dynasty has ended, how to explain this more and more disasters, bandits, and strange things? In addition, I hear the scholars scolding the emperor all day long, it seems that the world is really going to be chaotic! At this time, people were very simple, pushing everything they couldn't explain to God and to the Emperor, so as to reassure themselves. This Taoist is very powerful, grasps people's psychology, and directly attacks the root of the Han Dynasty. Whether you believe it or not, you always have this thought in your heart. As long as you have this idea, then quietly wait for this idea to take root.
And in fact, it is true, even though many people think of the big man, they still feel that the big man is irretrievable, and this is the general trend and destiny that everyone can't resist. As soon as the emperor died, the world was in chaos, and Yuan Shu of the family of the fourth and third princes dared to claim the emperor, which can be seen that the hearts of the people in the world had gradually deviated at that time......
Liu Bei frowned, he knew that the troubled times had been in the past few years, and when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, there was no way to stop it with his influence. This historical necessity made him feel powerless, but he decided that as long as he was under his rule, not a single Yellow Turban missionary must appear. So he commanded: "Send someone to follow, see where he lives, keep an eye on it, and don't startle the snake!" ”
There was a county official next to him who went to answer the order.
After returning to the Ya, Liu Bei did not take it lightly, he decided to write to Cao Cao, knock on the side, and see if Luoyang also has the figure of Taiping Dao, if there is, then ask Cao Cao, the head snake, to investigate and investigate. for the future. After writing the letter to Cao Cao, Liu Bei thought about it, and he couldn't get enough of it, and several letters were sent everywhere in one fell swoop.
Yizhou Yan Yan, Luoyang Lu Zhi, Yingchuan Xun Yu, Donglai Zheng Xuan...... People who were close to Liu Bei everywhere received Liu Bei's warning letters.
However, he said that Liu Bei sent someone to monitor the demon road for a few days, and then a messenger reported: "County Zun, I have never found this thief's accomplice, the thief used to live in a broken temple outside the city, and traveled around the four fields every afternoon, drawing talismans and spells for people, giving pills, and then bewitching the public." ”
Liu Bei pondered for a while, and then said: "And ask the county lieutenant to lead people to arrest him." The messenger was about to come out, Liu Bei changed his mind, and said: "You go down, I will tell the county lieutenant." "But I was inexplicably interested, and I wanted to go with the county lieutenant in person to arrest this demon.
Outside the city in the north effect, there is an ancient temple, I don't know what year and month it was built, to this day, it has been dilapidated, there is a mud tire in the temple, and I don't know which way it is a fairy. The incense died early, and only the remnants of incense ash in the stone furnace and the doors and windows covered with cobwebs told the world of its ancient vicissitudes. Here, there have always been few people, and most of them are places where beggars live. These days, there is a wandering Taoist here inexplicably. Look at him in a yellow robe, stepping on moonlight shoes, wearing a Xuandao crown on his head, and fluttering big sleeves, like a fairy. This kind of character, who is usually a guest of a rich and noble family, how did he come to this ruined temple to take shelter?
However, the world is difficult, and people's hearts are sinister. The beggars are seasoned people, curious, but they don't want to ask. I'm afraid I'll get into some trouble. They have their own way of survival. So when this Taoist came, they moved out and lived outside the temple.
On this day, the beggars are resting, they usually do not go out to beg until the sun is about to set, when it is too hot and too cold and the weather is bad, they lie still and do not move, occasionally catch a few lice on their bodies to eat. Just when the beggars were lying lazily, Liu Bei and the county lieutenant led a team of men out of the city and came straight to the broken temple.
It wasn't until near that the beggars found a group of officers and soldiers coming, and they couldn't help jumping up in fright, seeing that the official didn't seem to be interested in them, so they hugged their heads and scattered. The movement outside also woke up the people in the temple. The man opened the two broken doors, and saw a group of officers and soldiers, led by two people, one was a handsome young man, and the other was a black-faced man, and the big man stood behind the young man, and it seemed that this young man was the main one. So the Taoist chuckled and said, "The two officials, the poor Daoyun Zhongzi, are polite this time." He laughed deeply, and said with a smile: "I don't know why the two of you came, but do you want to see a doctor?" ”
Liu Bei looked at this self-calm Taoist, and seemed to be smiling, he didn't believe that this guy didn't find out that there were people outflanking him behind the temple, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to reappear, otherwise he would have jumped out of the window and ran away. Return the cloud neutron, you are the cloud neutron, I am the Yuan Shi Tianzun! Liu Bei smiled and said: "This official Liu Bei, added to the Guangyang Order, came here today to invite the Taoist chief to the county government and his party to explain the "Taiping Sutra" for me and other fools!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Yun Zhongzi secretly said in his heart that his guess had been fulfilled, and he had been exposed.
