Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

If 186 AD is the theme of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, then 187 AD is the time point of the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty recognized by later historians. Four big things happened this year:

First, Yuan Shao killed Liu Tan and made Liu Yu emperor in Jizhou;

Second, Yuan Shu besieged Sun Jian and ascended the throne with a jade seal in Shouchun;

Third, Dong Zhuo named himself the King of Qin [1], and moved Emperor Xian to the west of Chang'an City to build the ruins of Zhang Palace;

Fourth, Cao Cao and Cao Sheng signed the "Qingzhou Agreement", marking the beginning of the legendary "Two Cao Agreement Period".

Before the spring planting started in February, Yecheng, Jizhou, began a vigorous civil construction project. The Yellow Turbans, who had just experienced Zhang Jiao and Liu Tan as leaders, became a pile of bones dead at the foot of Xincheng after being captured by Yuan Shao. People in the ranks of the people kept fleeing, fleeing towards Yanzhou in the south.

But for today's Yuan Shao, escaping a few laborers is just a tickle, and it is not his Jizhou that is left or right. He is now investigating Feng Shui on the construction site with the Jizhou aristocratic family. To the north of Yecheng is the verdant Mangshan remnants, belonging to Xuanwu; to the west is Taihang Mountain, which is the steep white tiger; to the south is Zhangshui, although it is a natural moat, it does not conform to the five elements of fire, so it is necessary to build it. The three south gates are cloudy.

As for the newly built palace in the city, it is not as perfect as Luoyang, but it can also be said to be "complete with five internal organs". The ancestral temple, the main hall, the bedroom, the stone canal, the bell tower... and even the city began to have refugees from the palace ready to enter the palace to serve.

The only uncomfortable thing is probably the future emperor who was imprisoned in Liu Tan's old palace - Liu Yu himself.

Liu Yu also brought soldiers to Jizhou, and also defeated the remnants of "Huang Tiandi" Liu Tan. It stands to reason that Yuan Shao, who wants to go back to western Liaoning and continue to be his Youzhou shepherd, can't keep it. Helpless, there is Xu You, who is a troublemaker, and he fooled these loyal warriors with his three-inch tongue.

"Do you think Liu Youzhou is not worthy of being the emperor?"

"Liaoxi Gongsun Zan has complained about Liu Yuduo, and he has a lot of troops in his hands. Are you not afraid of unexpected encounters when you return to Youzhou?"

So Liu Yu encountered the "yellow robe plus body". Of course, there is no such thing as yellow robes in this era, but the emperor's robes with auspicious animal patterns on the Xuandi mountains and rivers, together with the emperor's crown with twelve diadems, have been sent to his several cases. There were also a group of old subordinates outside crying and begging him to be enthroned.

Liu Yu: I want to say 10,000 MMP sentences.

As a clan with normal IQ and little ambition, Liu Yu knew that Yuan Shao was roasting himself on the fire. Compared with the future in which he may be violently killed and forced into the palace in the future, Liu Yu is more worried about his reputation in the history of youth: the last emperor of the Han Dynasty? Just thinking about it makes my liver hurt.

He has been generous and benevolent all his life, and his own son is not as important as his own reputation! No life!

In October, Yuan Shu took the lead in completing the three-step process of "building a palace, setting up hundreds of officials, and worshipping heaven and earth" in Shouchun, and established the name Zhongshi. When the news reached Yecheng, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still, and with a hundred officials composed of the Jizhou clan and Runan's cronies, he forcibly "invited" Liu Yu to the newly completed hall.

Liu Yu kept struggling and even yelled at him, but he was held up by the warriors around him, and he couldn't jump off the carriage regulated by the emperor.

In the vibrant new palace, the elegant music of the court built by bells, chimes and chimes rings. The car with Liu Yu **** finally stopped in front of the steps made of large blocks of bluestone. Yuan Shao took the lead in prostrating by the wheel, and his voice was loud:

"Your Majesty, please change your clothes and go out to the south gate to welcome the world."

Liu Yu was silent, his Adam's apple shook up and down. "Give me water."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed: "Give your majesty water."

A waiter trotted up with an ebony tray. The water is a nearly white celadon bowl, and the shallow relief of mountains and rivers reflects the warmth of the sun because of the enamel.

With the help of the guards, Liu Yu untied the rope, tidied up his clothes, and drank the honey water in the porcelain bowl. He walked to the bottom of the tall square tower, raised his head and sighed: "Good water, good bowl, good building."

Yuan Shao followed closely behind him: "I will not be disrespectful when serving Your Majesty."

Liu Yu turned his head and stared at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao bowed his head, unmoved. The officials behind also bowed their heads, but their eyes kept wandering.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the auspicious time was about to pass. Xu Youxian couldn't help but urged, "Your Majesty..."

"Yuan Shao!" Liu Yu suddenly shouted, "If the Han Dynasty has the last master, Liu Xie will be the one, not Yu!" After he finished speaking, he slammed into the solid stone base of the tower. .

The four corners of the square building were sharp and hard. Under the impact of Liu Yu's whole body, his brain was shattered on the spot, and the brain and blood splashed on Yuan Shao's face. The stone brick floor with carved patterns is dyed red, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of trickling blood.

While Xin Ye was in chaos, Ah Sheng received Cao Cao and Xun Yu who were calling all the way at Weihai Port in Qingzhou. From Jibei, Le'an, Beihai, and Donglai, from the westernmost Pingyuan County of Qingzhou to the easternmost seashore, Cao Cao finally occupied the first state-scale territory in his life.

The end of this territory is Weihai Port, which has been operated by Cao Sheng for 18 years.

Snow falling from the dim sky, the harbour seems to be frozen in half, even the large ships docked in it are silent, only the white lighthouse stands tirelessly on the high cliff .

In stark contrast to the quiet harbour is the lively Fort Dock. The end of the year is approaching, and the main family will divide the meat. Whether it is fishermen, farmers or mountain people, all wearing new winter clothes, they happily gather in the square at the foot of the mountain to receive their share of New Year gifts. Among them are the families of the soldiers who died. They can get an extra jar of soybean oil and two bags of rice, and the "Second Young Master" will personally meet and offer condolences.

On December 28, Ah Sheng distributed zodiac candies to the more than 6,000 children registered in Weihai Port, and then officially closed the pen and stopped work, entering the state of Chinese New Year.

She hasn't cooked for a long time. But this year, Cao Yu and Taishi Ci sent pepper and cornel sauce from the south, plus the Sichuan pepper brought back from nearby Luoyang, which sparked her desire to make spicy dishes. Early in the morning, when the smog of the seaside hot springs rose, Ah Sheng led people to work in the kitchen, marinating meat, washing vegetables, cooking soy milk, and pounding rice cakes.

With the crackling of the stove and the sound of knives hitting the cutting board, bowls of Han Dynasty Sichuan dishes came out: fish-flavored shredded pork, mapo tofu, spicy elbows, boiled fish, Sichuan dishes Fried rice cake...Although the taste of the final shape deviates from that of the pepper, it also has a unique flavor.

At least, Cao Cao likes it when he sees it. "It's still A Sheng who lived a delicate life, and I have oral intake today." He took the lead in moving his chopsticks without being polite, and greeted Xun Yu and Xia Hou Dun at the same time, "Our second son has cooked himself, so she can make sense if you don't eat poor?"

Hula la, a group of Cao children shouted and drank, instructing Yan Wen and Luo Chi to stay silent. "Sister Yan, give me some vinegar." "Mr. Luo, the fish and the fish are mine."

Only Xun Yu, who was still sitting upright in the seat, looked like a good baby. Ah Sheng personally placed an iron plate grilled tofu on his food table, and then sat next to him: "I remember you liked to eat this when you were young."

"Prince Zhonghua is concerned, Yu..."

Before he raised his hand, he was stopped by Ah Sheng: "Let's go, what's the etiquette for the family banquet? I've seen you peeing your pants."

A Sheng couldn't hold back, and immediately rejoiced: "Okay, okay, don't talk. If our writing is so beautiful, how can we be willing to talk about you?"

This time, Xun Yu's cheeks even started to turn red, but the corners of his mouth could not be pressed down. He ate while smiling, with no oil stains on the corners of his mouth, no sound from his chopsticks, standard elegance, and every frame was a high-definition wallpaper.

Come on, the little smug grew up and became a big smug.

After everyone was sweating, the dinner was removed, the table was wiped clean, and a cup of sweet wine was replaced.

A Sheng cleared his throat: "If Wen Ruo is here for the first time, my Weihai port is not bad."

Xun Yu immediately turned into a serious and reliable adviser: "The people are well-off, well-armed, and the system is perfect, unprecedented! It's like an overseas fairyland!"

Well, you are exaggerating. The people of Weihai have not been able to eat meat every day, and the future generations are not even well-off. Ah Sheng rubbed his face: "I've been in business in Weihai for nearly 20 years, and I really don't feel comfortable letting others manage it. East of Laishan, if I rent Brother Ah, I'll pay taxes every year, okay?"

Cao Cao was shocked at the time: "Although I own the Qingzhou animal husbandry, why would I grab my brother's land? What tax should I pay? My family, why should I pay tax?"

A Sheng shook his head: "Taxes and military service are the foundation of a regime. Those in power do not produce food and population, and only rely on support from all over the world to dominate the territory. If today, because Weihai is mine, I don’t have to pay tax under my name. What about the Xiahou family’s manor? What about the Cao Ren family’s manor? What about the land of various in-laws’ families when the family expands in the future? There is no need to pay taxes, so how will my brother support him? Officer, how do you raise troops? If one's own family can't abide by the law, if they ask outsiders, they won't be able to convince the public.

"And if the text is right, there can be no two voices in ruling a place. I let them pay taxes to brother, and they will know that they are the people under brother's rule. In the future It's not going to push the two of us down the road of dividing land."

Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at each other and made up their minds with the tacit understanding established in just one year.

On behalf of the Lord, Xun Yu asked openly: "Since you have made a statement, please forgive me. What did Duke Zhonghua give up the wealthy Weihai in exchange for it?"

The exchange of interests and the integration of the regime must start now.

"I know that Wen Ruo will bring scholars to serve my brother, and I have no intention of placing staff in the Qingzhou government. It's just that I have thousands of students and veterans, and I want them Stationed in various villages in Qingzhou, built medical clinics and schools, and established Rural Brave as a reserve force."

Xun Yu sucked in a breath of air, is this going to devolve the rule to the village level? Even the heyday of the Han Dynasty had never imagined such a thing.

A Sheng clapped his hands, and Yan Wen brought up an administrative map of Qingzhou drawn in color. Hanging on the wooden frame, the dense markings show a delicate beauty.

A Sheng walked to the map and pointed them one by one. Those villages can be combined into one teaching point. A city with a large population needs multiple schools, and where the mountain people speak slang, and she happens to have one For a student who knows slang, wherever medicinal materials are produced, she will put two more medical centers.

"I was under the rule of Liaodong and Nandao, and each village had a retired soldier to train young men, a school teacher to teach literacy, a medical doctor to control the epidemic, and a farm official to measure the land and count the population Organizing taxation, an **** of the people reads legal orders to mediate disputes, and even act as an agent in litigation. The Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Graphics, and the Ministry of Public Affairs dispatch personnel to supervise each other every five years.

"Qingzhou is not under my rule, and I should not be responsible for managing taxes and laws, but I hope that the poor and young in Qingzhou can be taught, and the sick can be treated. So I took the liberty to ask my brother for a doctor. I am responsible for the two positions of the official and the school teacher. The military attache for the Xiangyong formed by the guard medical hall can be hired by my brother or me, I don’t care.”

"

"I refuse." Ah Sheng shook his head, "First, there must be room for the people whom Ah Yu recommends. But there are still some leftovers. In the future, you will still go to Yanzhou, and you will always share your political interests with others. I only want the education right of the leader of Guizhou, so that the poor men can be selected from among them to fill the official office, and I will not insist on anything else.”

Including Xun Yu, everyone still has to persuade, but Ah Sheng has already drawn up the agreement, from the dispatch list of each county and village, to the list of public library in Pingyuan County, and then to The expansion plan of Weihai Intermediate School is clearly visible step by step.

What makes her happiest is that this plan was drawn up with the help of the gradually mature fifth, sixth and seventh village officials and students. Although the budget is huge, it is very clear. .

Although these people do not necessarily have a clear impression in her mind like Qin Liu and Twenty-seven, but when a system operates, it is political stability that is separated from the talents of a certain person or a few people. symbol.

She will not stay in Qingzhou, not even in one place for a long time. Just let the children do it, go to Pingyuan County, go to Beihai Kingdom, go to Jibei, go to Le'an. They will come from the relatively democratic South Island, face the bright and cruel Confucian social society, and use blood and life to collide, shock, assimilate, and be assimilated, and finally find a balance.

At the very last end, she prayed that some of what she wished would be preserved.

For example, "rule the country by law".

For example, "knowledge changes destiny".

For example, "Technology is the primary productive force".

Or, at the most basic level, "everyone's life is precious".

The author has something to say: Note [1]: Dong Zhuo is called the King of Qin, because Chang'an where Dong Zhuo is located was the land of the Qin State during the Warring States Period. It is reasonable to speculate that if Dong Zhuo is called the king, he should be called the King of Qin. It is the same reason that Cao Cao built his capital in the homeland of Wei and called him King of Wei. By the way, Sun Quan’s location is the hometown of Wu State during the Spring and Autumn Period (that is, the Wu State in the story of “Wu State, Wu State is one of the Five Hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period”); Sichuan, where Liu Bei is located, has “ancient Shu State” in ancient times. The ancient Shu Kingdom was an ancient slavery society built by the descendants of the non-Yan and Huang Dynasty. It has experienced several regime changes. Li Bai said in "The Road to Shu is Difficult" that "the silkworm bushes and the fish mallards, why are they at a loss when the country was founded?" It is the name of the ancient Shu Dynasty. The ancient Shu split, and one branch was attached to the Zhou Dynasty. After the Zhou Dynasty declined, together with the Ba State, it was annexed by the Qin State, and a county was established. Therefore, in order to distinguish Wei, Shu, and Wu of the Three Kingdoms from Wei, Shu and Wu of the pre-Qin period, we call them Cao Wei, Shu Han and Sun Wu.
