Heading westward along the Weishui River, we left the Jingzhao area and entered Fufeng County.

Liu Xuan has little interest in this area. He just sits on his horse and looks at the surrounding scenery every day. In the evening, he eats with his brother or Cai Yan, chats, and finally meditates to refine the dragon energy in his body.

I don’t pay too much attention to civil matters.[..com]

He knew that Xun You would naturally do these things properly, and it was not his turn to worry.

Sure enough, about a month after entering Fufeng County, Xun You sorted out the situation in Fufeng County clearly, and then presented it to Liu Xuan on that day.

“It’s much worse than Jingzhao area!”

This is also an expected situation. Although Fufeng County has long been under the control of the imperial court, because it was adjacent to Guo Si's territory at that time, it focused more on military defense and seemed a bit negligent on civil affairs.

After defeating Li Jue and Guo Si, Fufeng County began to make every effort to reorganize agriculture, and the imperial court also allocated a large amount of financial and material resources to support each county.

However, although the imperial court is now rich, it is still difficult to support the counties of Yongliang and Yongzhou with one county, so the help each county receives is very limited.

Fufeng County is relatively close, but if it's further away, you can only rely on the local county guards to solve the difficulties on their own.

"In short, although the situation in Fufeng County is much worse than that in the Jingzhao area, as long as it continues to develop slowly, civil society and agriculture will slowly recover, and the people will gradually settle down!"

Because of the continuous wars, the people of Fufeng County are very worried about their own safety, especially since there was such a war last year. They are worried that their homes will also be destroyed by the war.

o and.

Liu Xuan looked through the information compiled by Xun You while thinking about any shortcomings in his mind.

After he finished flipping through the information, Liu Xuan found that there really wasn't anything worth bothering about in Fufeng County right now.

Agriculture is recovering, and with the Jingzhao area producing good grain seeds again, and the refining department being established, Liu Xuanda can spread the formations implemented in the areas around Chang'an to several surrounding counties. In this way, Fufeng and Feng

Yi and other counties will also become areas with high grain production.

With the support of these three counties, Yongliang and Liangzhou will no longer have to worry about food. What’s more, this method will not reach its limit. As time goes by, it will spread further. At that time, the entire Yongzhou will

It is a huge granary that can feed the whole country, let alone just two states?

"So, generally speaking, there is no problem, but it still needs time!" Liu Xuan tapped his fingers on the table in front of him. After thinking about it for a few times, he suddenly thought that food does not have to be ripe only once a year.

With special grain varieties and appropriate farming methods, it is possible to achieve two crops a year, or even three crops a year.

Liu Xuan is not very clear about the specific situation, but when they were in the Cultivation Empire, they could even use immortal magic to cook it once a month. Due to the conditions and mana here, Liu Xuan may not be able to do it to that extent, but twice a year

You can definitely try it if it’s cooked or medium-cooked.

He was just thinking about it. He was not ready to speak out about it, but he didn't expect Xun You to speak first.

"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about it these days. Since there is a magic method that can ensure a high level of grain production, is there such a magic method that can shorten the time for grain to mature?"

Xun You only thought about that aspect because of the work he had to do and the many jobs he was currently involved in. However, he did not expect that his speculation was exactly what Liu Xuan wanted to do, so Liu Xuan was shocked.

.

Xun You was stunned for a moment, until Xun You wondered if his idea was too shocking. Even His Majesty could not accept it? Then he heard Liu Xuan say: "I was also thinking about this matter, but unexpectedly Gongda also thought of this."

a little."

After a pause, he sorted out the thoughts in his mind. He originally wanted to wait until he returned to Chang'an, and then asked the Weapon Refining Department to make some of the needed things first, and then talked about it with Xun You. But since Xun You also thought of this

A little, then there is no need to hide it until later.

"Actually, this method does exist, but if you want to achieve it, there are many problems that need to be solved."

Xun You was overjoyed when he heard that there really was such a technique, because it proved that his thinking was correct, and that some of the things he had learned these days were indeed feasible.

"Your Majesty, when I was thinking about this matter in recent days, I had a vague idea in my mind, but it still needs to be confirmed and some material support is needed."

Hearing what Xun You said, Liu Xuan knew that Xun You had not only thought of this, but had even acquired knowledge in this area. If so, maybe he would no longer have to worry about logistics matters in the future and could just leave them all to Xun You.

"After this inspection is completed, I will ask Li Su to cooperate with you in this matter after returning to Beijing. If you need anything, just ask Li Su to help you."

The fact that Li Su will be promoted to the rank of master craftsman and responsible for the emperor's newly established weapon refining department is no longer a secret among this team. Xun You, as Liu Xuan's confidant, naturally knows everything about it.

And what he wanted to do really needed Li Su's cooperation. With the words of the emperor, Xun You knew it.

These things, Liu Xuan is no longer thinking about agricultural matters. The food problem has basically been solved, and it will only get better year by year in the future, and even more food can be wasted at will. In this case, the price of food will

Falling down like diving.

At the same time, such a large amount of grain will also ensure the initial promotion of the new currency. When the price of grain drops to the point where ordinary people can just buy a lot of it and store it at home, the new currency will also be accepted by most people.

What Liu Xuan is thinking about now is the currency matter.

What are you most afraid of about money? Naturally, it is the impact of counterfeit money.

The problem of counterfeit currency has existed since ancient times, and it is not a new topic. The currency system collapsed during the reign of Emperor Ling. In addition to his own random coinage, a large number of counterfeit currency flooded the people. But the current situation at that time was too

It's chaotic, it's chaotic to a certain extent, and the impact of counterfeit currency has been infinitely compressed to a minimum.

But now that the imperial court has regained Yongliang, it has not only solved the problem of food for the people, but will also issue new currency soon. If counterfeit currency appears again at this time...

Don't think that if the world is in chaos, no one will do the speculative business. In fact, the more chaos the world has, the less management methods will be available for these messy speculators. If Liu Xuan promotes currency in a normal way, it is very likely that in a very short time

Counterfeit coins appeared, but Liu Xuan had no way to deal with those guys.

They only need to hide in a place out of the reach of the imperial court and go about their 'business' safely without fear of anything.

"Are we going to tinker with the 'money detector'?"

After thinking about it, this thing is not difficult, but it is difficult to popularize it at the beginning, and if you want to do this kind of thing, then you need to add a few more processes when minting coins, and do some tricks in the coins.

Whether it was coins or the 'money detector', Liu Xuan had to successfully establish the Refining Department first. At the same time, considering this problem, Liu Xuan asked Xun You to put the coin issue aside for the time being and try his best to solve the food problem first.

Anyway, for now, there is no rush to promote coins, and bartering is not a big deal at the moment, so let’s just deal with it like this for the time being.

Without stopping in Fufeng County, the team arrived at Tianshui County in the shortest possible time.

Tianshui County is adjacent to Fufeng, to the west of Longxi, to the north is Guangwei County, and to the north of Guangwei County is Jincheng... that is Ma Teng's territory.

This tour will definitely not go to Liangzhou. Even though Ma Teng has expressed his loyalty to the court, the forces in Liangzhou are complex and there are many foreign races. The emperor should not go there easily until he has truly controlled this area.

good.

Liu Xuan's plan this time was to leave Chang'an, pass through Fufeng, then enter Tianshui and then go to Longxi, then turn from Longxi to Guangwei, go from Guangwei to Anding, then return to Fufeng and finally return to Chang'an.

Xinping, Beidi, Feng Yi and other armies will not go because these places are too close to the Xiongnu's sphere of influence, and the court bosses think it is not safe enough. In fact, they don't even want the emperor to go to stability. That place is adjacent to the Xiongnu's current

If the occupied areas catch up with the Huns and go south to plunder, there is no telling what will happen.

Liu Xuan just smiled casually at this, but Cao Cao and Lu Bu secretly said: "If the Huns really come to plunder at this time, it will be really bad luck..."

Liu Xuan didn't know what Cao Cao and Lu Bu were thinking. If he knew, he would definitely agree with it. But right now, he doesn't need to consider the Xiongnu issue.

Tianshui County is in the northwest. Although it is not on the border, there are some Qiang people in the territory. However, these Qiang people have been semi-Chinese and accustomed to the Han lifestyle. Although they still retain some habits, they are only on the premise that they do not conflict with the existing living habits.

.

In comparison, the Qiang people living in Longxi and Liangzhou are the real aliens, but compared to the Qiang people living further west, they appear to be kinder and easier to contact.

The Qiang people who live farther west are truly alien in terms of culture and biochemical habits. Although they are still friendly with the Han Dynasty, they will not be polite at all if they see that the Han Dynasty is weak.

Rush in and plunder.

At the same time, the Qiang people living in Xiliang and Longxi will be the best guides and pioneers for these guys. However, some Qiang people living in Tianshui County are likely to resist together with the local Han people - this part is worth winning over and cultivating, and

Still need to be careful with the rest.

While listening to Xun You's introduction to the situation in the northwest, Liu Xuan met Man Chong Man Boning, the current governor of Tianshui County, and then under Man Chong's introduction, he learned about what he had done after taking office.

After Man Chong's detailed introduction, Liu Xuan learned that the situation in Tianshui County was not that good. One of the very troublesome problems was the various alien races in Tianshui County.
