The most desperate thing in the world is not the unattainable idea, but the gain and loss. I personally formulated the Longzhong match. Seeing it becoming a reality step by step, but watching it suddenly disappear, Zhuge Liang did not feel countless grass and mud horses galloping by, Feng Yong felt that there were probably some.

But then what can I do? As a minister, he could only silently clean up the mess left by Liu Bei. As the minister of the orphanage, as Liu Chan's prime minister, the survival of Shu Han is now all above him. He must do his best to protect the last fire of the Han Dynasty, and repay Liu Bei's grace of knowingly, only after death.

Ma Su was silent and looked at the 42-year-old prime minister of Han, who was only 42 years old, with white hair on his temples due to excessive pressure. Although he and the prime minister were called masters and apprentices, they were actually like father and son. The relationship between them was very deep. But now, he, who was full of knowledge, could not share the pressure for the prime minister, and felt ashamed.

"The rebellion in the South Central China is not worth laughing at." Zhuge Liang opened the bamboo slips, swept it past, and said slowly, "The Eastern Wu, a short-sighted person, is not worth worrying about. What I worry about is Cao Wei."

Yong Kai, the local chief general of Shujianzhou County (now east of Jinning, Yunnan), had a strange intention. He first killed the prefect Zheng'ang a few years ago, and then captured the prefect Zhang Yi, and surrendered to the Eastern Wu.

Eastern Wu appointed Yong Kai as the prefect of Yongchang (now northeast of Baochang, Yunnan). Yongchang City Gongcao Lu Kai, and the prefect of the prefect Wang Kang led the soldiers and people to close the city gates. At the same time, they set up troops to defend in various dangerous places in Yongchang, which prevented Yong Kai from entering Yongchang.

Yong Kai turned to send people to persuade Meng Huo and various barbarian tribes to rebel against Shu, and joined forces with Zhu Bao, the prefect of Ji Ke (now northwest of Kaili, Guizhou), and Gao Bao, the Yi Wang of Yue (now southeast of Xichang, Sichuan). In June of the first year of Jianxing (223), the rebellion in the South Central broke out in full swing.

"Lu Kai, Wang Kang are both loyal and righteous people. Now Yongchang is alone, as if he is exhausted. Why don't the Prime Minister rush to send troops to rescue him?"

Zhuge Liang sighed softly, "Don't I want to send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible? But now, the state has a new mourning, lack of troops and equipment, and the foreign enemy is undermining, what should I do?"

"What else can it be? It's natural as usual!" Feng Yong jumped and cursed loudly, "Hasn't you taught you a long time ago? Two cows are plowing land, can't one cow be driven?"

At the end of May, Shuzhong was getting hotter and hotter. The housekeeper went to the city and got the customized plowshare. As for the iron pot, it was still a while because the blacksmith was still trying to find a way to achieve the requirement that Feng Yong should be smooth and as thin as possible.

In this regard, Feng Yong had no better way except to express his disappointment with the industrial level of this era. As for small blast furnace steelmaking, not to mention whether it will be done, even if it can be done, I can’t even eat well now, so how can I feel like doing this?

The final completion of the curved plow did not delay the next summer. As a landlord class, Feng Yong naturally could not lose his dignity and went to the field in person, so he could only stand by the field to guide him.

As the maker of the curved plow, Ding Er became the first person to use the curved plow. When he clumsily put the curved yoke on the cow, the cow on the side still stared at his big eyes and shook his head, as if he was wondering why it was the only one this time, instead of having a partner pulling the plow and plowing the land together like in the past.

"Try to go straight and try to see how deep you can turn at most."

As an old-fashioned crop, Ding Er is still qualified. The curved plow developed from the straight plow, and the two have similarities. After turning a furrow crookedly, it becomes much straight the second time you turn around.

Yes, Feng Yong nodded. Although he was not skilled, he could already see that the curved plow is not only more flexible and easy to turn around, but also has a faster speed than the straight plow. The furrows that are turned up also show that they are much deeper than the straight plow. This is still the case when you are not familiar with the use method. If you become familiar with it, the speed will definitely be faster.

Butler Zhao, who was standing behind, widened his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and he seemed particularly excited. The plow used to be at least two people and two oxen, but now he only needs one person and one oxen, and the speed of plowing the land is even faster than before. This is simply a magical tool for plowing the land! He looked at the front and frowned and looked at the master in the field, and felt a dazed in his heart. Why did this master in his heart become increasingly unable to see through?

What is the most lacking in the Three Kingdoms? The answer is people, especially young and strong men. No matter how experts and historians in later generations have praised the emergence of talents, there is a phenomenon that cannot be concealed, that is, the sharp decline in population. Even if the hidden population of powerful landlords and the incalculable refugee population cannot be concealed, it cannot conceal the fact that the population has dropped sharply in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

You said that the Three Kingdoms have so many talents and are so awesome, why don’t you think of ways to make people eat better and wear warmer? What’s the point of fighting?

Only Feng Yong knew that this turmoil that had lasted for forty years would last for nearly sixty years. He also knew that during the time when Zhuge Lao Yao was in power, he would continue to squeeze out the war potential of Shu Kingdom.

The most influential among them is not the tenant farmers who have no land, because they have never had anything, nor are they self-cultivated farmers who have land, because they have always been responsible for heavy labor and food taxes, but the local powerful landlords who have originally had privileges. Their privileges will continue to weaken, and their interests will be constantly forced to be spit out, such as money, grain, and dependent on their population, etc.

Otherwise, if a small Shu Kingdom really wants those powerful landlords to lie on the country like Cao Wei in the north and Dongwu in the east to suck blood without producing any output, what will Zhuge Lao Yao use to fight the Northern Expedition?

As for the fact that the elite local powerful landlords can be used to govern the country like the other two countries, Zhuge Lao Yao smiled and said that it does not exist. He held a wallet in his left hand and a human resources in his right hand, and wanted to take control of the country again? What do you think you want to do? Should you be the emperor directly?

The historical process shows that Liu Bei and Zhuge Lao Yao’s political vision is indeed correct. Foreign political groups control power, and local powerful landlords control money and grain population. This is a very dangerous situation. If the locals are allowed to climb up and control power, there is no need to be too much. As long as part of it, Shu Kingdom will not only restore the Han Dynasty to the old capital, but it will be good to maintain the status quo. As long as the foreign enemy comes, they can even fight GG.

Is Shu Kingdom very weak in the late stage? So weak that a team of thousands of people stood under Jincheng and shouted twice, and the court could only surrender?

No, it was just because at that time, after decades, the imperial court of Shu was already full of local officials who climbed up from below. They could surrender to Wu or Wei, but they just didn't want to resist - the war was the most annoying. I always asked me to pay for money, food and people, but there was no reward, and I was even thankless. What's the use of it?

In Shu Han, the privileges of aristocratic families were so few, and they had to bear so much burden like those Guizhou leaders. Let’s look at the Wei Kingdom, which is the real consideration for the aristocratic families, right? It would be better to surrender directly, and the officials are still the same as the money, and the fields are still there, and we can continue to bully Guizhou leaders. Isn’t that even more wonderful?

So Zhuge Lao Yao said that you guys, do you think I will let you go easily?

Although Feng Yong is considered an outsider, he has taken root in the local area. The days will be long after this. If men really don’t have to go to the front line in the future, and women can only do the farming of land, then he must prepare for the future from now on. The crooked plow that can be cultivated by one person and one ox can only be regarded as the first step to try.

The experiment of the Quyuan Plow was very successful. Unfortunately, the accumulation time of farm manure was too short and the amount was not enough. This year's summer plowing can only be done to try to deepen the plow to see if it can increase some rice yield.

Feng Yong stood in the field, feeling a little regretful.
