Chapter 714 Who Plays Who
Seeing Ma Qiang say this, Zuo Ci didn't doubt it, so he agreed to stay there for the time being and go back together when Ma Qiang returns to Jizhou.
Zuo Ci waved his sleeves to the white crane in the sky. The white crane whirled a few times and flew to the east, and everyone was surprised to see.
Ma Qiang also admired Zuo Ci's ability to tame beasts, and it almost brought the white crane into a white dove.
"The Taoist priest is a good method, but next time I'm fine, don't take the copper wire. It's so dangerous."
Ma Qiang's words made Zuo Ci's muscles twitch.
Alas, these old wise men are just a few tricks coming and going, and nothing new is there.
"I don't understand what the general said."
"Oh? Do you want me to send someone to search? In such a short time, the other end should not be untied in this mansion, right? Even if it is untied, there should be traces, right?"
After saying that, Ma Qiang laughed a few times, waved his hand and said, "Let's go in and continue the meeting."
From Zuo Ci's mouth that droughts may occur in the next few years, Kou Xian and others even more opposed Ma Qiang's plan to fill in Bingzhou.
Seeing this, Ma Qiang simply suggested having a meal first and preparing to think about countermeasures while eating.
Even in later generations, if local governments strongly oppose it, policies will be difficult to implement.
What's more, things like immigration require the full support of the local government, otherwise good things will turn into bad things.
It can be imagined that if a famine occurs in Bingzhou after immigration, the indigenous people will inevitably blame the cause of the famine on the immigrants. Once it is not handled properly, a large-scale fight will occur like the Hakka and Tujia people in later generations.
Zuo Ci didn't know that he felt that he was despised by Ma Qiang, or was unwilling to let his identity as an immortal was exposed. After eating, he suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that there are no good fish here, and there is less taste."
???
Ma Qiang's eyes rolled, and when he remembered the story of Zuo Ci playing Cao Cao, he simply asked in cooperation, "What fish is good?"
Zuo Ci immediately smiled and said, "Of course, the sea bass in Songjiang is the most delicious."
"Songjiang? That's thousands of miles away. If you have the opportunity to go to Yangzhou in the future, I'll take you to taste it."
"Hey, it's only a thousand miles away. Why do you need to ask the general to prepare a basin of water in the future. I will go to Songjiang to get the fish."
Songjiang perch is one of the four famous freshwater fish in China. In fact, it is not only Songjiang, but the most famous one there. Unlike other bass, Songjiang perch is a four-gilled bass. It was later awarded the "No. 1 Fish in Jiangnan" by Qianlong. Even in the state banquets of later generations, it was a very heavy dish, and it is hard to find because the number is too small.
It is rumored that Nixon ate this fish when he visited China and praised it. Later, the Queen of England also wanted to taste it when she came to China. The Demon City was useless for a long time and did not find a wild four-gilled perch, so she had to give up.
Ma Qiang has been in this world for so many years, but he has only heard of this kind of fish, but has never eaten it. Therefore, he is really curious about how delicious this legendary four-gill perch is.
Two soldiers brought a basin of water, and Zuo Ci took out a bowl of sea from somewhere. First, they showed it to everyone, and it was empty inside. Then Zuo Ci whispered something, waved her sleeves, poured the bowl, and two basses fell from the bowl into the basin along a stream of water.
This scene made everyone's eyes widen.
Good magic!
This is what everyone thinks.
A good trick!
This is Ma Qiang's idea.
"General, the bass has been taken, and the general can make people cook and taste it."
Ma Qiang and others walked to the basin and saw two four-gilled bass swimming happily. Others could deceive people, but these four-gilled bass could not deceive people.
"The Taoist Master is a great immortal technique! But one is not enough to eat. Can you give me one hundred and eighty ones!"
As soon as Ma Qiang said that, Zuo Ci's face was almost filled with black lines.
One hundred and eighty, you are going to take my life.
"General, don't be greedy for everything."
Ma Qiang looked at Zuo Ci and sneered, saying, "If you don't say anything else, sir is the first-class skill in raising fish and cranes."
Zuo Ci's muscles on her face were a little out of control again.
Ma Qiang walked into Zuo Ci and whispered, "First put the fish and water in the bowl, and then make a partition. It looks like an empty bowl, but in fact it has other mystery. The means are good, but it is not new."
Zuo Ci's face can no longer be said to have changed color, it is simply gray.
It’s impossible. This method is the secret of our school of non-transmission. No one in the world should know it!
No new ideas? Has this method been leaked?
How could Zuo Ci know that turning into a fish into an empty bowl has become a traditional trick in later generations. He can still deceive kings and princes in this era. In another thousand and eight hundred years, countless people will slowly release the opportunity to find flaws during the TV show.
Alas, it's still easy to mess around in this era.
Seeing that Ma Qiang had such a deep understanding of the so-called Taoism, Zuo Ci did not dare to do it again. After finishing the meal honestly, he was taken away to rest.
Ma Qiang watched Zuo Ci leave and said in his heart, "This Zuo Ci is a good animal. The four-gill perch has not been successfully breeded in later generations. It seems that he has found a way to breed artificially.
There is also the crane, which he obviously raised, otherwise he would have been southward for winter long ago.
It’s not good to be a national teacher, but it’s good to open a breeding school.”
In this era, artificially bred animals were still traditional animals, namely horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs. In addition, at most, no one can raise animals such as ducks, cats, and fish.
If you want to eat, just go to the water to catch it, why raise it?
"Okay, let's continue the meeting."
The meeting continued. Ma Qiang thought about it for a while while having dinner, and felt that the matter of filling in Bingzhou should continue.
"I thought about it again and again that the military and civilians in Heishan still need to move to Bingzhou. Although according to Zuo Ci's estimate, there may be severe droughts year after year in the next two or three years, it is precisely because of this that all the people must be properly resettled.
In the entire Taihang Mountains, there is a very shortage of arable land and water sources. If a severe drought occurs, will these people starve to death?”
"Ming Gong, why not move these soldiers and civilians to Jizhou? Jizhou has many grains and land, not to mention that the Heishan army is mostly from Jizhou." Wang Ze suggested.
"Jizhou has completed clearing and dividing the land, and it is impossible to accept a large number of immigrants in a short period of time." Ma Qiang directly blocked the road and continued, "I know your concern is that after hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain soldiers and civilians moved to Bingzhou, there will be food shortage in Bingzhou.
I also considered this time and decided to resettle these military and civilians in the counties and counties where the Yellow River flows through in the Xihe River and Wuyuan. In this way, the food in Jizhou and even Qingzhou can go up the river to help immigrants who may be threatened with famine to survive the disaster.
As for Taiyuan, Shangdang counties had accepted a lot of immigrants in the past two years, but they no longer moved in to immigrate."
When Wang Ze heard that Ma Qiang was about to put the immigrant in Xihe, Wuyuan felt relieved.
The Wang family's foundation is in Taiyuan. If they had not immigrated to Taiyuan, it would not have any impact on their Wang family.
