Yan Qing naturally knew very well that after the little emperor and the others had suffered this dumb loss, they would definitely not let it go, but would be even more grateful for the indignation and want to blatantly add to their problems.
But the emperor is far away, there is such a benefit: Yan Qing complaining and crying about the poor will let the messenger to send, to Liu Xie's group of grumbling civil officials to discuss the next punitive measures, and then let Liu Xie to finally decide the content of the decree, and then wait for their new decree with the angel to send ...... This back and forth tossing in the means of communication is incomparably backward in the At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, enough to call the yellow flowers and vegetables are cold.
Zhang Xiu, this person, does not care about the death of this small dynasty in name only, only worried about his hatred is difficult to avenge. After uniting Ma Teng Han Sui, he thinks the time is ripe, only hate somehow lost the powerful strategist who made the plan, but the arrow is on the string, he is also forced to send.
Liu Xie although by Zhang Xiu deliberately show the ability to charm, he is extremely favored, opinions are often heard in the heart, but in the end is a son of heaven, despite the young, but also not to the point of not arguing right and wrong to the point of taking Lu Bu.
Just Zhang Xiu's fling, not without effect: not only will Lu Bu had left in the capital of the influence of bit by bit to wear out, but also make Liu Xie more and more deeply realize that Lu Bu outside the mixing of wind and water, do not miss the emperor's grace of the danger, began to worry about their own tiger overcrowding.
Only in the way of no excuse (may also be afraid of completely provoked Lu Qingjia) to come to a promotion and a secret surrender, to strip Lu Bu's military power, let him into the capital after sealing a high-ranking officials to sit, so not only less let it sit on the fear of the big, but also more than a martial arts courageous bodyguard.
Good in the end he knows this kind of big event, can not just listen to Zhang Xiu this member of the generals to make a decision, even if again touched the heart, but also called to the long time not close to Huangfu Song and Wang Yun two people, called them rare unity of opinion, shaking his head ceaselessly, and then had to regretfully dispelled the idea of the promotion of Lv Bu into the capital.
Lu Bu is indeed a fierce tiger, but he is greedy by nature and can be harnessed with profit. Moreover, when this brave beast is devouring his enemies and treating himself respectfully, why stab him at a critical moment when he is surrounded by enemies?
The lords are afraid of Lu Bu's power, so they don't dare to attack the court easily, but if Lu Bu is annoyed and pours out his whole army to kill Chang'an, who will be willing to save him?
Liu Xie was persuaded by them, knowing the power of it, and when he heard Zhang Xiu offer similar words again, he wisely remained silent.
Only too out of the ordinary can not do, to come to the diaphragm is still very simple. But unless there is a reliable backing other than Lu Bu, otherwise even if Liu Xie is fearless to death, his officials who have not lived long enough will not allow him to really tear his face off with Lu Bu.
Again, to put it politely, he's a bully and a wimp.
Yan Qing pinched this key, and thus was half-panicked except for his initial anger.
Whoever has the money and food and territory is the boss.
Not to mention, just by virtue of his understanding of the essence of the word "delay", enough to delay until next year's drought. When the current profligate court is doomed to have a big bad luck, then even the food is precarious when they will know what is called a good voice.
But when that time comes, the conditions that Lu Bu has mastered in his pursuit of the world will mostly have matured, and whether the court's attitude is good or bad will become irrelevant.
"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover." Yan Qing smiled slightly, letting no one see that he had been furious just now: "What else can His Majesty do? What he can do now is to send a few more envoys to demand tribute and wealth, or to appoint a Yanzhou Assassin to take up his post, so that we have to return to the city."
Guo Jia smiled, "I'm afraid I'll have to try both."
Yan Qing nodded, calmly saying, "When it really happens, leave it to Qing to dispose of it."
Before, he was busy with affairs and his foundation was not stable, the high hat of 'loyal minister' was indispensable to the infamous Lu Bu, and he was also called to be involved in his every move to control the engine.
Now with the Yu, Yang two states in accordance with his master system of policy steady development, a thriving, but also more to take a claim to be the throat of Yanzhou, has a stronger backbone, he later more ways to cure each other, safe to call them to feel engraved in their hearts.
Want to sit back and do a little empty glove work?
Just kidding, in history, they also could not see Yuan Shu take away Yangzhou, so they made Liu Cao as Yangzhou pastor. But what can they do about it? The real power was held by someone else, and Liu Cao had no choice but to live in Huaipu, even though he had an appointment.
Still extremely confident in Yan Qing's ability in this regard, Guo Jia winked and smiled, "With Shiguang's words, there is nothing more to worry about. Just don't be too hasty."
Yan Qing knows what Guo Jia is reminding him of: in history, whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Bei, every time they took over a place, they had to spend a lot of time sorting out their internal affairs, consolidating their rule, pacifying the big clans and winning the hearts of the people, especially when it came to pacifying people at all levels, and there were never any shortcuts to be taken.
Just like building a house, want it to be solid, you need to patiently lay a solid foundation, if you rush, perfunctory, weekdays do not see the power, a encounter with some stormy winds and rains, like Zhang Miao and others incited the counties to betray Cao Cao, and Liu Bei in Xun Yu's plan to drive tigers and devour wolves, Lu Bu took Xuzhou, are eating the governance of the day too short of the same loss.
"There's no rush." Yan Qing pondered for a moment, calculating the steps and timing of the move, then said, "I have my own measure. To deal with them, just go with the times and act appropriately, don't need to spend too much energy on this, so as not to put the cart before the horse and lose a lot because of small things."
"The next step should be to feel at ease and stabilize the internal affairs, the plan for the Northern Expedition can be put off for a few years first." Guo Jia acknowledged this, and turned to say, "Since Shiguang Dao will have a great drought in the coming year, then from now on, more preparations should be made to put this matter to good use."
The calamities that came down from the heavens, unlike the **, were so little that the butterfly effect could not change them. Even if it's not next year, it will happen the year after, and given the powerful inertia of history, Yan Qing is still quite certain about whether it will appear on time.
Although he is not a sympathetic character, the frequent occurrence of disasters under the people can not help but deplore the difficult life, but in the inevitable, but also know the situation in advance, not only to prevent this, but also to turn the bad into good.
Ancient of course can not have the South-North water transfer of advanced technology, as far as Yan Qing understands, is nothing more than the enrichment of food reserves, construction of water conservancy, improve irrigation and farming techniques, reduce taxes after a disaster, immigrants on the food of some of the conventional means.
In the technical improvement, mastery of advanced knowledge of Yan Qing has an incomparable advantage, just his limited energy, although he also intends to do before, mostly for the southern belt of Yangzhou that lagged behind too pathetic irrigation system to make the design of the improvement, agricultural tools on the temporary flawless to make any changes, only one-dimensional will be collected from the government treasury of the agricultural tools to the free distribution to the stragglers, but also will be the lightening of the tax, so they are full of gratitude, encourage them to stay in this area to cultivate, but not to the extent that they are not able to do so. Encourage them to stay here and farm.
After Guo Jia this reminder to emphasize, Yan Qing more attention to it, but quickly thought of two drought-resistant and barren plants: one is only a horse food alfalfa, the other is since the Tang Dynasty, only because of these characteristics have been valued, was widely planted buckwheat.
Yes, buckwheat!
To be honest, buckwheat since a few hundred years ago is ranked as one of the eight valleys, unlike alfalfa, at first or a Zhang Qian ran a trip to the West to bring back the seed of the rarity.
Only buckwheat was not popularized until the Tang Dynasty, cultivation practices have not been allowed to improve.
Yan Qing's heart moved, involuntarily looked at Lu Bu who did not say a word, this time he met a deep gaze, he could not help but be jolted, but remembered another incident, surprised, "Wait, when did Qing say this?"
Guo Jia gave him a blank look, "Just now."
Yan Qing thought back for a moment before remembering that he had indeed slipped up when he was in a rage, but was still incredulous: "How could you believe it so easily?"
Guo Jia silently and breathlessly glanced at Yan Qing, whose eyes were full of shock, and spread his hands, asking rhetorically, "Or else?"
Lu Bu looked left and right, and quickly sent a heartfelt fart: "Chong Guang has the appearance of an immortal, and has been taught by Heaven, and knows some immortal means, and can occasionally penetrate the mysteries of heaven, is not it just natural? Heavy light can be assisted, really is the most blessed cloth ah!"
Guo Jia: "......"
Yan Qing was so overwhelmed by this string of shots that he couldn't be bothered to be angry with him, and through the cover of the low table, his left leg went all the way to his side, secretly kicking Lu Bu's muscled** thighs, and mouthing, "Please Lord, please don't make fun of Yu Qing."
As a result, Lu Bu took the kick without a change of color, his body not moving at all, but he quickly reached out and tackled Yan Qing's ankle that he couldn't withdraw in time.
Yan Qing subconsciously struggled a little, in the way of Guo Jia was sitting not far to his right, the movement did not dare to be too big, relying on this little resistance, it is impossible to escape from Lu Bu's control.
He was just about to say something bad, just started to talk about office romance Lu Bu has been uneducated in sexual harassment, nimbly climbed up the pole, with a bit of love. Color meaning from the 'immortal' that slender ankle to start, all the way up the kneading straight beautiful calves ......
Being this déjà vu, suggestive move evokes the charming memories of those absurd three days, Yan Qing's eyelashes involuntarily trembled, although not as 'soft' as those crooked little pornographic books, but also numb and soft and twisted for a while, even the toes in the socks are unconsciously curled up.
"Whether in or not," because Yan Qing slowly tensed the muscles on the back, in addition to the ear root slightly red, on the surface is not to see half a break, and coincidentally blocked Lu Bu's nearly half of the body, from the angle of Guo Jia, since he could not see Lu Bu's small movements, blissfully unaware of the side of this pair of dog man man in the dark **, slowly said: "Can save for a rainy day, preparedness, is also good."
Recognize for a long time, Guo Jia did not see less Yan Qing's miraculous calculations, his prophecies although not to be convinced, but also believe more than doubt.
It's best to win, but if you don't, the advantages of making these moves outweigh the disadvantages, it's just not as urgent.
Yan Qing, on the other hand, from the experiences of Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and Zhang Jiao, saw that the rulers were both disdainful and deeply afraid of those who claimed to be able to know both the stars and the wefts, to learn Taoism, to understand the Six Armors, and even to command ghosts and gods, to sit down and work in the kitchen, and to have great magical powers. Mostly hate its demagoguery, challenge their own prestige, want to catch and kill them.
That is, the most capable Zuo Ci can be unharmed, calmly escape from the capture, fluttering away, the other two are dead.
Therefore Yan Qing did not want to expose some of his special features, even if Lu Bu did not want to kill him, he did not want to fall into the bad name of compelling people.
However, he thought more carefully, he realized is just purely scared of their own - playing sorcery, subduing people's hearts and minds, threatening the stability of the regime, is to touch the ruler's taboo, and history Zhu Geliang in the Battle of Red Cliff, not only can the night stargazer, but also set up the seven stars to borrow the east wind, making a fuss and making a scene, and not see anything.
So it would seem then, that as long as his trick of 'disassociation' is not exposed, the 'seer' by chance alone will not be treated as an unspecified demonic creature.
Yan Qing's heart was relieved as he turned to say, "What does the Lord think?"
Coldly being named, Lu Bu's hand strength subconsciously loosened a bit, just as Yan Qing seized the opportunity to quickly retract the leg that had been held and rubbed by him.
Lu Bu escaped without noticing and frowned in chagrin before nodding his head in the middle of the day, "What Shiguang said is very good, let's do it according to this law."
Hearing this answer, not to mention Yan Qing, even Guo Jia was unsurprised - if Lu Bu had raised an objection, only then would they have been surprised.
After casting aside the trouble created by the young emperor, another pressing matter is the messenger Yuan Xi, who is waiting to receive him.
