Chapter 421 Sima Hui Travels Thousands of Miles to Follow Up! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

In Zhending Prefecture, Liu Bei, dressed in white, walked into the Nuwa Temple in the south of the city.

Xie Yingdeng, who was meditating, waved his hand, and a stick of incense automatically flew to the statue.

After Liu Bei finished worshipping Nuwa and the accompanying statues with incense, Xie Yingdeng stood up and asked with a whisk:

"Uncle Huang suddenly came here, do you have anything to tell me?"

Recently, the entire Zhending Prefecture has been in full swing with grievance meetings and public trials. In the past, the high-ranking landlords were beheaded on the spot for serious crimes, and those who were generally guilty would be spared and their families would join the road construction team.

As for those servants who were accomplices to the evil, every one of them had to participate in labor reform.

The grain of the landlords was taken out and distributed to the poor people so that they would not starve this winter.

Except for a few landlords who escaped by chance, most of the rest were caught by Zhang Fei and others.

According to Wen Huanzhang's calculation, by the end of the year at the latest, the court will find that Zhending Prefecture has been occupied, and then the nearby prefectures will organize troops to attack.

So during this period, we must build more military projects, repair the roads between counties, and strengthen the city walls to prepare for the next resistance to the court army.

Liu Bei said to Xie Yingdeng:

"Yunchang wants to attack Handan. If he succeeds, he will attract a large amount of court firepower, or even assassination, so I want you to go to Qilin Village, stay with Yunchang, and protect his safety, how about it?"

In Zhending Prefecture, there is Qiao Daoqing who knows illusion, and now he has mastered the art of controlling objects, which overlaps with Xie Yingdeng's function.

"Since the emperor's uncle has ordered it, I will go back and leave this place to Qiao Daochang."

Xie Yingdeng readily agreed, handed over all matters of Nuwa Temple to Qiao Daoqing, and then went to Jimin Temple opposite to say goodbye to Lu Zhishen.

"My dear brother, when you arrive at Qilin Village, remember to say hello to everyone in the village on my behalf."

Master Lu is now the abbot. Every day, he is either doing trivial matters in the temple or training monks. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat wine and meat.

Other people also have their own errands. Gu Dasao and Sun Xin took the lead in establishing the Zhending Prefecture Federation of Industry and Commerce, which brought together businessmen from all over the city. It is not only conducive to the development of trade, but also greatly beneficial to intelligence work.

For example, there are several directors of the Federation of Industry and Commerce who have been engaged in the smuggling business of Song and Liao for many years. After they joined, they quickly provided a lot of information about the Liao Dynasty.

For example, the names, preferences and contact information of the generals in charge of military equipment procurement in the Liao Dynasty, as well as the courtiers and housekeepers, made Chai Jin more confident in the undercover operation.

When Ma Lin heard that Xie Yingdeng was going back, he also expressed his desire to support Handan.

Now that Zhending Prefecture has been taken, he, a playboy who has been undercover in Nuanxianglou for several months, should do some serious work and can't chat with the young ladies all the time.

However, if he went to Handan, Ma Lin would most likely go undercover in a similar place.

There was no other way. He was handsome and knew how to play musical instruments. Only in such places could he play his role to the maximum extent and find out useful information.

Le He was very friendly and eloquent. After taking over the entire territory of Zhending Prefecture, he and Yang Lin became the leaders of the public trial and grievance meeting. Every time they went to a place, they would be surrounded and welcomed by the people.

After dealing with the harmful landlords and gentry bullies, some grassroots cadres, such as village heads, li heads, township heads, etc., should be selected to form a militia to restore grassroots management order as soon as possible.

In the evening, after saying goodbye to everyone, Xie Yingdeng and Ma Lin rode away from Zhending Prefecture and rushed forward.

Going south from Zhending Prefecture, you will pass through Zhaozhou, Xingzhou, Cizhou and other places. Among them, Zhaozhou is the current Zhaoxian and Ningjin area; Xingzhou is the Xingtai area; Cizhou is the Cixian and Handan area.

The entire line is close to the Taihang Mountains, with fertile land and good weather. It has been a grain-producing area since ancient times.

Immediately, Xie Yingdeng browsed the map of the Northern Song Dynasty on his mobile phone and said to Ma Lin with a smile:

"If we can take all these places, our food will be like Mu Kezhai, and we can't eat it all."

Ma Lin has an impression of Handan:

"The city there is not big. The only advantage may be that there are coal and iron nearby. If Guan Erye takes it smoothly, Fuyang, the seat of Cizhou, will definitely be in chaos."

To the south of Fuyang is the territory of Yinzhou, which is the hometown of Zhang Qing without feather arrows. In the original work of "Water Margin", this place is called Zhangde Prefecture, but in real history, the territory of Yinzhou is called Xiangzhou.

It was not until a hundred years later that the Jin Dynasty ruled here and changed its name to Zhangde Prefecture.

Fuyang is too close to Zhangde Prefecture and is not suitable for attack, otherwise it will face the attack of troops from the two states. It is relatively better to occupy Handan.

Located in the hinterland of Cizhou, there are several rivers next to it as a barrier.

As long as Handan is occupied, defense will become much easier. In addition, with the three Ruan as the navy support, no matter how many people the imperial army has, it is likely to be defeated.

Xie Yingdeng looked at the map and said:

"Brother Ma Lin, I suggest you don't go to Handan, but stop directly in Xingzhou. After taking Handan, the emperor's uncle and Guan Erye will work together from the south and the north to connect Zhaozhou and Xingzhou in the middle. If you can get some intelligence in advance, Xingzhou will be at your fingertips."

Ma Lin is not picky:

"Okay, when I pass by Xingzhou, I will go undercover in the city and mix in the fireworks place under the name of Fengming Langzi. If you need intelligence, you can find me according to this clue."

"No problem!"

The two put away their mobile phones and ran forward quickly until dark, and then they found a place to stay overnight.

In the real world, Li Yu is also studying the map of the Northern Song Dynasty. He thinks that in the spring of next year, he can let Yide go to the north of Zhending Prefecture.

To the north of Zhending Prefecture is the territory of the Liao Dynasty. Crossing the border line will lead to the vast Liao Dynasty. At that time, the soldiers can go all out to grab horses, food, cattle and sheep.

In the past, foreign tribes would go south to thresh crops at any time. Now, it is time to let them feel a wave of counterattacks from the Central Plains.

While thinking, Liu Xie came to the real world:

"Sir, can you buy some duck heads for me?"

The little guy generously put two gold cakes on the table, which made Li Yu laugh:

"These two gold cakes are enough to buy a whole truck of duck heads... Why do you suddenly want to eat this?"

Liu Xie told the truth:

"Sister Lingqi wants to eat it, this is what I took from the inner treasury, and I didn't spend the money from the national treasury."

Oh, the public and private are clearly separated... Li Yu shook his mobile phone:

"I have already bought it. When you went to give Lingqi the pig's trotter, my mother and I were watching the Three Kingdoms world... I bought a bunch of duck heads and duck goods. When they are ready, you can take them away."

I originally wanted to buy finished duck heads, but after searching online, I found that they were actually more than ten yuan each.

No wonder the roast duck in the market only sells for twenty yuan each. The duck goods such as duck heads, duck necks, duck gizzards, duck feet, duck tongues, duck intestines, duck hearts, and duck livers are enough to make up for the cost.

Unexpectedly, both the master and the empress saw it. Liu Xie said a little embarrassedly:

"Sorry to make you laugh, sir and Grandma Nuwa."

"It's okay, we just happened to see it. As long as there is no danger to life, we will not rashly interfere with you."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he took out half a chilled watermelon from the refrigerator and handed it to Liu Xie:

"Use a spoon to dig it out and eat it yourself. You didn't come here today just for the duck head, did you?"

Liu Xie quickly denied:

"The student has something important to report!"

The little guy took the iron spoon and ate the watermelon while talking about the latest intelligence.

Du Ji of Hedong County has taken all the plains into his pocket. Now he is vigorously carrying out the reconstruction of people's livelihood. In order to develop industry, he wrote to the court and requested to build four hydropower stations in Hedong County, and even the locations have been selected.

For example, the Sushui next to Jie County and the salt pond. With a hydropower station, some industrial facilities can be used, which is of great benefit to the development of work.

In addition to the hydropower station, Du Ji also needs a large number of photovoltaic panels to build a photovoltaic power plant, and then get some wind turbines to install on the city wall.

Although the wind turbines installed in the book world are relatively small, it is still okay to bring some searchlights.

As long as there are lights, the people can see the advanced equipment across the times, and their lives can be more promising, which is conducive to the implementation of the court's policies.

Li Yu didn't expect Du Ji to be so anxious:

"Not yet. After the war, Wen Hou will go to Wancheng and build a hydropower station dedicated to iron smelting there. Wancheng is a strategic point. Facing the attack from Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao, weapons and equipment must be put first."

Relatively speaking, the area around Hedong County has been pacified. Although Henei County in the east has not been taken into the bag, there are many mountains in the middle. It is difficult for Zhang Yang's people to come over.

The most important thing for Hedong County now is to develop people's livelihood and agricultural planting. Although the industry cannot be relaxed, it does not need to invest too much for the time being.

Liu Xie took a bite of watermelon and said:

"Du Taishou also knows that these requests are a bit excessive. He plans to ask for a batch of photovoltaic panels and two forklifts for cleaning salt ponds before winter. Is this okay?"

Did Du Ji secretly read Lu Xun's article and learn the essence of the broken window theory?

First, make a lot of requests, and then take the opportunity to ask for what you really want after being rejected. This trick is really useful.

Li Yu agreed to these requests:

"I will give him a trailer of photovoltaic panels, two forklifts, and two excavators. First, grab the production of salt, and then talk about other things."

"Okay, thank you sir!"

Liu Xie ate watermelon and talked about Chang'an University again.

Now Zhang Zhongjing has led his two sons to recruit medical students from refugees. The age requirement is between twelve and fifteen years old. It is faster to learn things at this stage and it is easier to get started.

In addition, the three views of this age have not been established, and the thoughts are easier to shape. Some issues involving the morality of the times do not need to be considered.

In that era when people believed that "the body and hair are from parents", rashly cutting hair, amputating limbs and other operations would not only easily cause psychological burden to patients, but also make doctors condemned by their conscience.

They must be instilled with the concept of "doctors are like parents" and fully realize that curing diseases and saving lives is a good thing.

Li Yu put away his thoughts and asked:

"How many people have been enrolled in the medical school?"

"Thirty or forty, the first batch of medical students plans to recruit 100 people, teach some basic medical knowledge and trauma treatment, and let them enter the army as military doctors."

Nowadays, there is a big gap in doctors, so we can only train them in batches first.

In this way, we will train five or six batches of students, and then select a group of talented students from the previous students, teach some relatively advanced medical knowledge, and give everyone a chance to improve.

If we continue to develop in this way, it won't be long before a large number of military doctors will emerge.

Then we will train a group of barefoot doctors for rural areas, and constantly select top students from doctors with good character and academic performance for improvement and training, and the entire medical system will be established soon.

After learning about Zhang Zhongjing's long-term plan, Li Yu asked Pang Degong and others:

"What are they doing in Chang'an?"

"Studying!"

After arriving in Chang'an, many nobles went to the post house to visit Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong, but they did not see the guests. Instead, they stayed in the post house and devoted themselves to asking Cheng Lian, Xun Yu and others for modern knowledge.

They planned to learn simplified Chinese characters first, read some modern books to enrich their knowledge, and then discuss the plan of Chang'an University after Jia Xu returned from Hedong County.

The role of role models is powerful. When these two celebrities took the lead, Xu Shu and others were forced to follow suit.

But at night, they would secretly leave the post house and go to Zhuque Street to watch movies or attend cultural gatherings organized by Guo Jiaxunyu and others.

Two days later, all kinds of chilled duck products that Li Yu bought were delivered.

He sorted them into the basin and began to clean them.

The duck head needs to squeeze out the mucus and blood in the nostrils, the duck wings need to clean the pores, the duck paws need to release the blood from the joints, and the duck intestines need to be cleaned again.

If you want to eat with confidence, these need to be washed several times.

After finishing this work, Li Yu started to prepare the brine ingredients and boil the brine soup according to the instructions sent by Lin Xu. He brine the ducks in batches and then put them into the brine for soaking.

Braised food should be boiled for three-quarters and soaked for seven-minutes. It requires more soaking to get the best flavor.

"Are you ready? Can I have a taste?"

Mu Guiying gathered around the stove, smelling the spicy smell coming from the stew, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Li Yu poured out some stewed soup, poured the prepared fish tofu, lotus root segments, kelp knots, tofu knots, thousand-sheet tofu and other ingredients into the pot and cooked for a while, then took it out and let Mu Guiying satisfy his greed:

"This is called freshly-caught braised food. The longer it is soaked, the better it tastes. Later I will learn how to make black duck and make more kinds of brine."

Spicy, spicy, sweet and spicy... although they are all duck products, there are still differences in taste.

Mu Guiying didn't have much patience, so she quickly started eating fish tofu:

“Spicy, spicy and delicious!”

She brought the brine directly to the restaurant and had a video call with Diao Chan while eating.

"Fairy Xiaochan, where are you?"

"A century-old teahouse, we had to queue to get a seat. There were people singing and dancing inside. It was so joyful. Sister Zhou and I ordered black tea made with old rock sugar. It was so sweet and delicious."

Mu Guiying showed off the braised flavor and even smacked her lips, making the little girl greedy:

"Sister Guiying, what are you eating?"

"The freshly-caught braised food made by my husband is worthless. The taste is so-so and not as good as the tea you drink."

"Ah, ah, ah, you are so bad, and you deliberately make us angry. When we get to the southwest, I will eat the rabbit head to make you angry."

"I just placed an order and bought several boxes of rabbit heads. I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

When the two were bickering, Zhou Ruotong said:

"When we were in northern Xinjiang, we ate smoked horse sausage made by the Kazakh people. It tasted good. We bought a box of it and it should be delivered to the B&B in the next two days."

When Mu Guiying heard about the food, she immediately said:

"Thank you, Sister Zhou. Master was talking about you yesterday, saying he missed you and Fairy Xiaochan."

"I miss you so much. When we get home, we will go to the scenic spot and report what we have seen along the way."

After chatting for a while, singing came from the old teahouse again. Zhou Ruotong took pictures with his mobile phone and bought some snacks by the way.

Li Yu fished out some duck heads, duck necks, duck intestines, duck hearts, duck gizzards and other duck products, took them outside, and said hello to Diao Chan in the video.

Mu Guiying held up a red duck head and showed it to the little girl on the other end of the video, and sang proudly:

"Xiaochan is an idiot, a duck and a duck!"

Diao Chan: "..."

How come Sister Guiying is more childish than the children in the kindergarten class?

Li Yu asked Diao Chan:

"Have you gone to see the tomb of Xiang Fei over there?"

"I saw it, but it's not interesting. It's not as fun as the old street. The best food here is hand-picked rice and baked buns, which are all carbohydrates. I want to lose weight when I go back!"

"Okay, let Guiying accompany you then."

Li Yu tasted the duck products. Except for the duck head, which had to be soaked, everything else was delicious. The fish tofu and the like were also just right. He could make more and share them with foodies from several worlds.

As for the braised soup, you can keep it and continue to braise it next time. The duck will be more delicious.

At the same time, Hulao Pass in the Three Kingdoms world.

After several days and nights of attack, with the assistance of drones and other equipment, Old Man Huang finally captured this thousand-year-old pass. There are still traces of repairs by Xu Rong inside the pass. On the pillars of the city gate tower, there are also inscriptions of Wei Continuing the writing of this trip.

Next to it is the inscription when Cao Xing left Hulao Pass:

"I heard that silly people like to visit here for carvings. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true."

Huang Zhong inspected everything in the pass and asked his soldiers to prepare yellow mud and stones to repair the collapsed areas to avoid being attacked by the enemy in the middle of the night.

Then he took the walkie-talkie and contacted Xu Rong who was based in Luoyang to consult on the techniques for repairing Hulao Pass.

After the call ended, before Lao Huang could take a breath, a soldier hurried in to report:

"General, there is a large group of carriages approaching, ten miles away from Hulao Pass."

carriage?

Huang Zhong put on his armor again and came to the city gate tower. He looked through his binoculars and saw that there were about a dozen carriages, followed by slaves No. 50 or 60.

The distance was too far, and it was already approaching dusk, so it was hard to see clearly.

"Release drones for reconnaissance!"

Soon, two drones buzzed away from the city gate tower. When they flew to the top of the carriage, they flew back a certain distance to confirm that there was no ambush, and Huang Zhong felt relieved.

"Who will come at this time?"

Inside the carriage, a middle-aged Confucian scholar was flipping through a traditional Chinese version of "Water Margin", and there was a young man sitting in the carriage:

"Mr. Decao, when I arrive in Chang'an, can I get a job?"

The Confucian scholar smiled gently:

"I am going to Chang'an only to continue this book. As for whether I can get a job, I have never met Your Majesty and dare not speak nonsense. I hope Xiaoxian will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter. If I can't get a job in Chang'an, I will just take it as a way to relax!"
