Liu Qi stretched out his hand to pick up a stack of Chinese paper on the case, and under the gesture of his eyes, Dong Cao Peng Dai Liang stepped forward and distributed the stack of Chinese paper to everyone in the hall one by one.
"According to Wu Wei's report, in the early years, the local people mostly made a living by shooting and fishing, picking wild grasses, melons and fruits for food."
Liu Qi pointed to the Han paper in his hand, "The orange of Jiaozhou is big and sweet; Liu Zi was born in the mountains, like a pear, sweet and strong; Abundant in a thing, the fruit is like a gourd, the skin is white like snow, half an inch thick, the beauty of food is also in the walnut flavor, there is juice in the skin, the juice is clear like water, and its taste is better than honey. ” As he spoke, Liu Qi saw a sergeant outside the house walking up to the front with a tray and putting a bulging bulge on the case.
Wei Yanyan played with the big gourd in his hand, knocked it with his fingers, and then broke it hard, the bulging gourd did not move at all, but there was a slight soreness from his tiger's mouth.
Wei Yan looked embarrassed, "Lord, what is this?"
Liu Qi smiled slightly, and then heard Shi Xie speak, "This thing is called Xu Yu, which is produced in the coastal dense forest, and is also planted near the houses of the people in the coastal counties and counties of Wujiaozhou. ” "How to eat this thing" Gan Ning stretched out his hand and pulled out the short sword on his waist, and was about to chop, but saw Liu Qi stretch out his hand to stop it.
He beckoned for a short dagger and cut a small hole in it, revealing the snow-white and crystal coconut flesh inside.
Liu Qi took a hollowed-out wooden straw from the case, put it in it along the small hole, sucked it slightly, and was immediately refreshed.
"I name this thing coconut, the pulp can be used as medicine, the juice can clear the heat and quench thirst, it is a unique thing in Jiaozhou, Benhou thinks that when it can be transplanted Yi County, Zhuya County, Huiji County and other places, it can be picked in pieces, as a novel melon and fruit, transported to the north to sell, in addition, Jiaozhou peculiar melon fruit, good taste can be planted more."
Shi Xie raised his hand, "Wu Hou, please forgive the old man for saying bluntly, although there are many melons and fruits, they are supplied due to the topography of Jiaozhou and the hot season, not to mention the geometry of production, if they are transported to the southern counties, the road is far away, and it is not easy to store. ” Liu Qi smiled and pointed at Shi Xie, "Wei Yan's words are reasonable, but Ben Hou has already had a countermeasure, come and bring the sand table up." ” "Whoa."
Immediately a personal guard was ordered to go down.
Liu Qi got up and came to the hall, put another chiseled coconut on a wooden straw, and handed it to Gan Ning.
"Thank you, Lord."
Wei Yan stood up with an excited face and took it carefully, but he looked at the straw and didn't dare to suck it in a big gulp, lest he drink the sweet spring in this strange melon fruit.
Liu Qi walked in front of Huang Zhong again, but saw the veteran standing up tremblingly, stretched out his hand and took the lead in picking up the coconut, "Don't dare to bother the lord, let the last general take his own."
"The old general has been on a horse for half his life, and he should have been stationed on a horse and holding a knife like Lu Bu, despising the heroes of the world, but he was trapped in Jingzhou, and he wanted to help the Han family in the future, and he had to rely on the general's merits."
During the conversation, Liu Qi had already chiseled the coconut, put it in a straw, and handed it to Huang Zhong.
"The minister is determined to serve the Lord to the death, and he will be the pioneer on the day of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains."
Huang Zhong was grateful, took the coconut with both hands, held it in his hand, and knelt down.
"The old general doesn't have to be like this, now Ben Hou ordered you and Wen Chang to come here, just to negotiate to appease the barbarians in the mountains and forests of Jingnan and Jiaozhou, but you and the two of you have to spend more time on these barbarians."
Huang Zhong was lifted by Liu Qixu, then stood up, still maintaining a respectful posture in his hands, "Rest assured, the mountains are barbaric, there is nothing to be afraid of, within a few months, there will be no barbarians in Guiyang." ” "We are also willing to make a military order to pacify the barbarians in the mountains as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Wei Yan, He Qi and other generals in the hall stood up one after another and hugged their fists towards Liu Qi.
Liu Qi smiled and waved his hand, with his previous demonstration, He Qi and the others naturally followed suit and chiseled the coconut by themselves.
When he reached the middle of the hall, the sand table had already been lifted.
"Look, everybody."
As his words fell, all the civil and military personnel in the hall gathered.
"The counties in the east of my river have only two avenues to Jiaozhou, one by land and the other by sea."
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Liu Qi stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain road between Yuzhang and Huiji, "I have ordered the officials of Yuzhang and Huiji counties to mobilize the people and enslave tens of thousands of people to open the mountain and build the road. ” "Wuzhang Chidao" A group of scribes looked at each other.
"What Wu Hou means by his words is that this galloping road will connect Yuzhang and Huiji counties."
Liu Qi smiled, "I ordered the soldiers of Jiaozhou and Jingnan counties to conquer the barbarians, that is, to capture the strong, from Guiyang and Lingling to the South China Sea, Cangwu, Yulin and other places, in addition, the Hou has ordered the people of Yuzhang and Huiji two counties to take the lead in building the Chi Road, and the two sides converge in Taimo, on the other hand, from the South China Sea to Longchuan, and pass the Houguan to the end. ” "My lord, my subordinates are suspicious."
As soon as the words fell, Yan Jian of Cangwu County, who was standing opposite Liu Qi, bowed his hand to him.
"Man Cai said bluntly, Ben Hou forgives you is not guilty" Yan Jian breathed a sigh of relief, raised his feet and walked to Liu Qi's side, and stretched out his hand to point to the ancient road on the sand table, "The meaning of the lord's words, from the South China Sea through Longchuan, Houguan to Taimo to build a gallop road, Longchuan, Taimo nearby, there are many mountains, if you repair the gallop road, you have to open the mountain" "Nature."
Liu Qi nodded.
"If there are 50,000 people, slaves, from the South China Sea to Taimo, money, grain, wood, stone properly, then it takes half a year's work, if the repair and then repair to Huiji, Yuzhang two counties, the lord to two-way cultivation method, then can shorten the construction period, when we finish the south of the road, will go to the end of the road, Yuzhang to the end of the two roads, has already penetrated, the craftsmen and people on both sides of the merger, two-way construction, when can be shortened to March or April to complete, but the lord of this plan is good, three sides at the same time to build, how many people must be mobilized, if the slavery is against the agricultural time, If there is a war in the coming year, I am afraid that our Jiangdong Army will be short of food and will not be able to send troops. ” Liu Qi glanced at Yan Jian with a smile, "Man is good at civil affairs calculations, and he can calculate the construction period in a short period of time, which is really a great talent." ” A group of civil and military personnel in the field also spoke up one after another, such as Yan Jian when he was transferred from the meeting, there were many officials who went on the spot to investigate, but he could be calculated so clearly, he was the only one in the civil and military forces present.
"I want to transfer the troops of Dong Raid, recruit 30,000 of the captives of the last year, build the Huiji Chi Road, and then transfer the troops of Zhuge Jin to lead the counties and counties, and dispatch the prisoners of the Jingxiang War to build the Yuzhang Chi Road, and after careful calculation, there are also 20,000 people."
Saying that, Liu Qi smiled and glanced at everyone in the field, "Yuzhang has only started construction for half a month, and Huiji started to build the Chi Road last year, and now it has been repaired to the end."
At the beginning of the spring farming, I will return to Tuntian with a strong life, and after one or two months, I will return to build a gallop road. ” "As for the South China Sea Gallop, you need to work hard" As soon as Liu Qi's voice fell, a herald broke into the house outside the hall, "Report to Wu Hou, Quan Rou, the governor of the South China Sea, come to report, three days ago, he secretly communicated with the gentry near Qingyuan, broke through more than 10,000 soldiers who came to attack the barbarians, beheaded 2,000 people, captured 3,000 people, and now has taken advantage of the situation to attack the mountains and forests, and bring more than 100,000 people from his three villages down the mountain." ”:
