Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 878

Chapter 878 Zhongsang Desang

"Abstained from taboo?"

When the young man heard the words, he gave the middle-aged man a weird look, as if he had heard some joke, and suddenly burst into a rude laugh.

Laughed for a long time, then pointed to the side of the guide, and said, "General Xiahou, there are seven counties in Nanzhong, and the barbarians in the six counties all call the prime minister Zhuge Grandpa, and the elder brother the ghost king."

Then he pointed to the northeast again, "Since the late emperor passed away, the prime minister has been assisting the emperor for nearly ten years. Everyone in the world says that the prime minister is good at governing the country, and even the emperor also calls the prime minister the prime minister's father."

"I don't know how many honors the prime minister receives above his elder brother? However, the prime minister is still respected by the emperor. How can the elder brother be jealous?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have remembered something, and smiled again: "The Prime Minister published the "Teacher List", the first line of the list is the name of the elder brother."

"In "The List of Teachers", the ministers of the guards mentioned are all those who stayed behind in Jincheng to assist the emperor. And the ones who are loyal and ambitious abroad have names and surnames, and the only one is the elder brother."

"General Xiahou, do you think the emperor will be suspicious of elder brother?" He said, raising his tone again, "Besides, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been any talk of jealousy between monarchs and ministers."

"If you don't believe me, let's look at the former emperor, who avenged Guan Laojunhou. Although he was angry and promoted the teacher, 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 join the enemy, but the first emperor thought he had betrayed Huang Quan, and treated his wife and children as before."

The young man's expression became more and more meaningful: "General Xiahou's taboo words, could it be that he judges others by himself?"

"Yes, from the perspective of the three generations of Wei thieves, they are either suspicious, narrow-minded, or angry. Suspicious of subordinates is a common thing."

Hearing this, Xia Houba was already full of anger, and interrupted the other party roughly: "Wang Taishou, don't insult people too much!"

Wang Taishou is naturally the prefect of Yuexuan County, the son of Wang Ping, Wang Xun.

Wang Xun said mockingly:

"When General Xiahou said that my brother was tabooed, did he ever think about humiliating him too much?"

"Now I'm just stating a fact, but I didn't expect that in the eyes of General Xiahou, it would be too humiliating, hehe..."

It goes without saying that Cao Cao is suspicious.

Just being Xun Yu has already made people who came after him sigh with regret.

Cao Pi is narrow-minded.

Huang Quan defected to the enemy and was treated favorably by Wei Guo. Liu Bei blamed himself for being responsible for him, and some people might say it was a show.

But everything is afraid of comparison.

Yu Jin surrendered to the enemy in the Battle of Jingzhou, and was sent back to the State of Wei. Unexpectedly, he was humiliated to death by Cao Pi.

Comparing the two, the judgment is judged.

As for Cao Rui...

Xiahouba himself is the best example.

The army was defeated and captured to Hanzhong. By the way, he paid homage to his ancestors.

The three clans of Xiahou who stayed in Wei State (namely Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Xiahoushang three lines) are now called to Luoyang, called preferential treatment, but they are actually soft prisons.

Of course, this is the news conveyed to him by the Han people.

There are also news brought by people who defected from Wei to Shu.

There is even news that the caravan headed to Wei State came back.

How true or false, the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom.

Xiahouba wanted to deny it vigorously.

But he knew in his heart: the rumours, not necessarily without reason.

Xiahouzhu (Xiahoudun's son) was almost beheaded by His Majesty for selling grain.

Xiahouxuan (son of Xiahoushang) has always been hated by His Majesty, and was later involved in the vanity case.

As for myself (Xiahouyuan's son), in His Majesty's eyes, he is already a defector.

The brothers who are still in the Wei state are lucky to have escaped, not to mention being able to receive all the favors like before.

So thinking about it, the situation of the Xiahou clan in Wei State at this time is really not very good.

However, the more this is the case, the more Wang Xun's words hurt Xia Houba's heart, making him feel ashamed and angry, but he has no way to refute.

He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's all Feng Wenhe's fault!"

If they could commit suicide when the army was defeated, how would the disaster of today come about?

At this time, Xia Houba regretted that he was too innocent, and believed Feng Wenhe's nonsense from the very beginning.

Why do you come to Hanzhong to meet your clan sister, sacrifice your father and brother...

Fake, all fake!

How can such a cruel person be so kind?

It's just a trick to lure yourself into the trap!

The current self is not a defector, but he has become a defector, even if his mouth is all over, he can't tell clearly.

The news that Liu Chan's queen, as the niece of Xiahou's family, accompanied her to worship her father and brother, spread throughout Guanzhong and Luoyang so quickly.

If there is no reason why the Han people deliberately spread it, Xia Houba would rather believe that his father and brother are still alive in this world.

Maybe it was planned by Feng Wenhe.

With such thoughts in mind, Xia Houba repeated again through gritted teeth: "It's all Feng Wenhe's fault!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Wang Xun, stretched out his hand to take the horse led by his entourage, got on the horse, and rode forward.

Wang Xun didn't care either.

These days, whenever Xia Houba mentions his elder brother, he always curses angrily.

It's just that this person's identity is very different, and the relationship between Mrs. Zhang and him is even more complicated.

I heard that my elder brother also wanted to call him uncle.

So Wang Xun didn't treat him well, at most he argued with him.

For the rest, as long as he doesn't overdo it, he will do it.

Seeing that Xia Houba's figure was getting smaller and smaller, he hurriedly led people to follow.

Xiahouba rode his horse and ran for a while, only then did he feel the depression in his chest relieved a little.

He looked up and looked around, only to realize that he had come to a mulberry forest.

Under the mulberry tree, some people were digging holes, and some people were piled up with dark things from other places under the tree.

Beside the mulberry forest, there is also a large reservoir.

Seeing the work done by those people is very different from that in the north.

Xiahouba stopped involuntarily.

Ever since he knew that he was nominally "betrayed" by the people of Shu, Xia Houba often jumped up and down and cursed someone with the surname Feng.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhang Xiahou took Xiahouba away from Hanzhong in the name of returning to Jincheng to see the empress dowager.

Although Mrs. Zhang Xiahou had some complaints about Feng, in fact, she still agrees with Feng's ability.

Especially after going through Hanzhong and his party, Zhang Xiahou's family can be regarded as acquiescing to a certain identity of her youngest daughter.

So she said some good things about Feng in front of Xia Houba.

After all, we have become a family, and we will meet again in the future. It is not good if the relationship is too rigid.

It's just that my sister from the family said that Feng Wenhe was a good leader, because Xia Houba has no right to speak in this regard.

But to say that this person even has the means to govern the local area, few people can match it, it is really unconvincing.

Yunwen Yunwu, writing can be famous all over the world, leading the army can defeat the enemy and expand the frontier, if the ability to govern the people is only inferior to Zhuge Liang, this kind of talent may only come out once in a hundred years.

Now the people of Shu have Zhuge Liang in front and Feng Yong in the back. Is it possible that the Shu Kingdom is really favored by heaven?

Xiahouba naturally didn't believe it.

So he's going to see for himself.

He knew that the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Shu was high, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Yuejuan, he found that there was quite a legacy of the former Han Dynasty recorded in the book.

When the former Han conquered the Xiongnu, the Hu people who heard that the Han soldiers were not afraid of them called them Hanzi, and they called them heroic men.

Where in Yuexiu, the thieves of Wei were gnashing their teeth and taking the task of destroying Wei, which really made Xia Houba feel terrified.

Not to mention people's hearts, even people's farming and mulberry affairs are far different from those in the north.

He stepped forward and asked:

"Dare to ask this old man, why did you dig a hole under the mulberry tree?"

The old farmer who was waving his **** stopped, looked Xiahouba up and down, and asked:

"Did this nobleman come from somewhere else? He has only arrived in Yuexi not long ago?"

Xiahouba was taken aback immediately: "How did the old man know?"

The old farmer chuckled and pointed at the mulberry tree:

"Nowadays, all the mulberries used to raise silkworms in Yuexi are Feng Sang. They are the best mulberry seeds that Feng Junhou has worked so hard to find, and they can raise good silkworms."

"When the lords and lords were persuading farmers and mulberry farmers in Yuexiu, they taught us to treat mulberry trees as food, and to cut the dead branches of mulberry trees in spring."

Then the old farmer pointed to the large pool next to the mulberry forest and said, "At the same time, we will start stocking fish fry..."

The more Xiahouba listened, the more confused he became: "Why put fry in the pond?"

"Fish farming!"

Old farmer said as a matter of course.

Seeing Xia Houba's unawareness again, the old farmer laughed and patted his head, "I'm so confused, I forgot that the distinguished guest came from another place."

"This pond has a special name called fish pond. Junhou said that there are many low-lying places in the Sunshui River Valley, but when it rains, it is easy to cause disasters."

"So dig more fish ponds in low-lying areas, and then use the excavated pond mud to build pond foundations on the side, which can reduce water damage. Moreover, fish ponds can also store water to prevent drought."

"The land at the base of the pond is fertile. Planting mulberry trees on it does not take up the land, but also allows you to get mulberry leaves to raise silkworms.

Hearing this, Xia Houba couldn't help being surprised and amazed: "So that's the case! Then Feng Wen... um, eh!"

"It's more than that!"

It is rare for the old farmer to see such a foreign bumpkin who has never seen the world, and he looks like a noble bumpkin, so he continued with great interest:

"Mulberry trees are planted on the base of the pond, mulberry leaves are fed to silkworms, silkworm sand is fed to fish, fish dung is used to manure the pond, and pond mud is blocked by mulberry. This is an endless life."

As he spoke, the old farmer sang:

"In January and February, mulberry branches are trimmed and fish fry are released; in March and April, mulberry fertilizer is applied; in May, silkworms are raised, and in June, silkworms are sold, and silkworm chrysalis are used to feed fish; in July and August, the pond is cleared and the pond foundation is fixed; at the end of the year, the number Monthly weeding and feeding the fish."

"The fish pond is wide and the fish pond is deep. The fish caught are salted and salted, and the salted fish is sent to the army..."

There are salt wells in Yuelu, and together with the rice flower fish that Feng Junhou used to make, the salted fish in Yuelu is now very famous in Shu.

Anyway, the Hu people in Longyou all gave thumbs up to the salted fish in the ration bag, praising the salted fish as fragrant, salty and delicious.

Xiahouba couldn't help being a little crazy when he heard this slang song and talked about farming in Sangtang for a year.

"I heard that the old man is not like an ordinary farmer, dare to ask his name?"

The old farmer laughed again and waved his hands:

"I was just an old soldier who retired from the army. Later, I was misused by the junhou. I followed the junhou as a personal guard for several years, and finally followed the junhou to pacify Yuexiu."

"Later, Junhou led the army to the north, and he no longer needed my old body, so he arranged for me a position as a village elder. These things were all taught by Junhou himself."

Xia Houba was stunned again, his face was cloudy and clear, sometimes red and sometimes blue, extremely wonderful.

The old farmer didn't notice the change in Xiahouba's face, but he was still rambling:

"Jun Hou taught us these things back then. He only said that as long as we do what he taught, everyone's life will be easier."

"It's just a pity, Junhou didn't see Yue Juan's appearance today with his own eyes, and I don't know if he is doing well in Liangzhou..."

Xiahouba finally came back to his senses, forced a smile and said:

"Old man, now many people are saying that they want to sell grain and help Feng, Feng...Junhou in Liangzhou, why don't you go?"

"Why didn't you go? I had someone sell my surplus grain two days ago."

The old farmer quickly clarified.

"Oh, oh, I see."

Xiahou Ba cupped his hands to express his apology, and then looked away.

But when I saw the water in the fish pond was slightly rippling, I didn't know whether it was the fish coming up to breathe, or it was being wrinkled by the wind.

Seeing the green mulberry leaves around the fish pond again, he couldn't help sighing:

"It really is a talent for governing the world! Just looking at this fertile field and Sangtang makes people want to know how elegant he was when he governed Yueyu..."

The old farmer had already bent down to dig a hole again. Hearing this, he stood up straight again and said with a smile:

"The nobleman's words really speak to people's hearts. In fact, we often think, if the king has the opportunity to come back and take a look, how good it would be?"

"However, whenever I think of the prince, I have a place to go."

As he spoke, he pointed to the west:

"From this official road, there is a large piece of fertile land, which was cultivated by the prince himself. There is a stele at the top of the field, with the inscription 'Feng Hou once cultivated here', that's it."

Xia Houba didn't want to see Feng Yong at first, but after talking with the old farmer, he heard something he had never heard before, and finally became curious in his heart.

He bowed his hands and thanked the old farmer, then turned and returned to the official road.

Wang Xun, who had been a while behind, was already waiting there.

Xiahouba glanced at Wang Xun, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked:

"Prefect Wang, do you know where Feng Mingwen farmed?"

Wang Xun has always followed his elder brother's attitude.

Although Xia Houba kept saying that his elder brother bullied him, since his elder brother called him uncle.

Then no matter how much I dislike Xia Houba, as long as the other party doesn't pick things up, I still have to pay attention to saving face.

Seeing that the other party's attitude has changed, Wang Xun couldn't help being a little surprised, and nodded at the same time:

"Naturally know."

"Can I go and see?"

"Why not? I'll lead the way."

A group of people rode horses, and after a while, they arrived at the place the old farmer said, and saw the stone tablet standing on the top of the field.

Xia Houba got off his horse and stood in front of the stele, looking at the paddy field with green waves constantly turning up in front of him, and remained silent.

Wang Xun stood beside him and said:

"Back then, my elder brother led the army on the road leading to Jincheng, and left Yuejuan secretly. When the people knew about it, my elder brother had already arrived in Jincheng."

"After my elder brother left, the Yuejuan government's policies remained unchanged. A few years later, the people had enough food and clothing. Someone erected this stone tablet in the place where he personally cultivated, as a token of his kindness."

Xia Houba's eyes changed and his expression was complicated. After a long time, he murmured:

"He can be so remembered by the people, my sister really didn't lie to me."

His heart was even more turbulent.

Feng Yong, who is still young, has already achieved such achievements. In the future, he will surely become the pillar of the Shu Kingdom after Zhuge Liang.

Shu Kingdom had Zhuge in the front and Feng Yong in the back. Could it be that they are really favored by heaven?

While thinking, he unconsciously touched the stone tablet with his hand.

At this moment, someone shouted angrily from far away:

"Stop! Damn it! Who are you? Dare to touch this stele!"

Xia Houba subconsciously withdrew his hand and followed the sound.

I saw a few young gentlemen running over with sticks in their hands. When they saw that the pedestrians were still wearing weapons around their waists, they knew that they were not ordinary people, so they still dared to ask:

"Who are you?"

Xiahouba saw that although the other party spoke Chinese, their accent was very weird. It seemed a bit like Luoxia's accent, but it was very awkward.

More importantly, looking at their dress, they also have a distinct barbarian style.

The entourage had already surrounded Wang Xun and Xiahouba, with their hands on the handle of the knife.

Wang Xun pushed away his followers, and cupped his hands at several young gentlemen:

"We came down from the county government office to inspect farming, and we came here specially to see what the kings and lords were like in those days. How many people are they?"

A few young gentlemen heard the words, and then saw the opponent's formation, and knew that it should not be a lie, and the leader summoned up his courage and said:

"It turned out to be a senior official, but if you look at your ears, why do you still touch the stele? This is my family's land, and you are not allowed to touch the stele."

Hearing the other party say the word "adult", Xia Houba knew that these people were barbarians.

"It turned out that the master came, we didn't pay attention for a while, so don't blame it."

Wang Xun quickly apologized.

Xia Houba couldn't help but interjected: "Your land?"

Didn't it mean that this is where Feng Mingwen farmed?

How did it become the land of barbarians again?

"Of course!" The leader, Yiren Langjun, raised his head and said, "When Feng Junhou was farming here, we even caught fish for Junhou!"

"Yes, yes, we have caught fish for Junhou for a long time, so Junhou later gave us these lands to plant, saying that Han and Yi are one family."

One hundred loach for one meatloaf!

The taste of the meatloaf is still unforgettable to them.

Speaking of this matter, the faces of the barbarians were full of pride.

"Jun Hou also taught us to sing, if you don't believe me, I will sing it to you."

"The pond is full of water, the rain has stopped, and there are loaches everywhere in the thin mud beside the field..."

Xia Houba was dumbfounded when he heard it, what kind of slang song is this?

Why is the voice so weird?

Could it be the barbarian dialect from somewhere?

Wang Taishou's face twitched.

Brother's unscrupulous deal with these barbarians, if it wasn't for the gift of land later, Wei Guangzheng's image would have been stained.

Fortunately, the current story is that Feng Junhou asked them to catch loach in order to test them...

These barbarian young gentlemen have transformed from fools to protagonists who have adventures in the story.
