Chapter 235 233. Cai Hao: This General Zuo is a bit stupid (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Winter wheat and summer rice are not uncommon in the Huang family. It is normal for Huang Cong and others to be promoted to young men, but this situation... is it a little opposite?

At least, it should be the older students who guide the younger ones!

So, Huang Yueying walked over and said hello.

Huang Cong and Zhuge Jun were both a little surprised, and then shouted excitedly, "Brother (mentor)!"

Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, "So, these seniors are here because of you?"

Huang Cong shook his head, "Of course not, the senior students want to know about farming..."

"Then what?"

"Then Brother Shuhu once told me that if I go to Xiangyang, I can observe the growth of crops near Xiangyang. If I can record the growth conditions of the same crop in different areas and the yield per mu, etc., it may be of some help to his research." Huang

Cong explained.

"So? You are the one who guides the senior students in weeding?"

"No, no, no." On the side, Lu Deng explained with a smile, "Not everyone among us knows about farming... On the contrary, Ah Cong and Ah Jun know much better than us, and we asked them to help us.

.”

Huang Yueying nodded, this... can be considered justified.

But what surprised her was that this group of students... were actually quite pragmatic.

Logically speaking, ordinary literati do not know much about farming, and even fewer are willing to truly put down their dignity to understand it.

As if aware of Huang Yueying's doubts, Cheng Song said, "After all, we are the first batch of students to graduate in the academy."

Yes, the first batch of graduating students...actually have special care and honors.

Today's Xiangyang Academy is not as simple as a small academy.

After Liu Biao showed his intention to welcome the emperor, many literati in Jingzhou regarded Liu Biao as a minister of the Han Dynasty's resurgence, not to mention that Liu Biao now accepted Liu Bei.

There are achievements in both civil and martial arts.

The ambitions of these students... are naturally not small. They all want to revive the Han Dynasty, show their talents, and establish a huge reputation and achievements.

Under such a background, it is normal for this group of people to be willing to work hard...

Huang Yueying is naturally happy to do so.

The more these people learn, the more confident they will be when they become officials in the future.

"Ah Chu, why are you here?" Lu Deng asked.

Now that Jiangdong is attacking, there seems to be another movement in the north. Why is the young gentleman who is the main adviser of Jingzhou Mu wandering around in the countryside?

"This is the first time that wheat has been planted in Jingzhou other than Chu'an. Naturally, we need to pay more attention to it." Huang Yueying said naturally.

"The war in Jiangdong..." Lu Deng was confused.

"The local guard will be responsible for it." Huang Yueying smiled, "Chaisang is guarded by brother Zhongmiao, Yuzhang is guarded by brother Xingba, and after Chaisang there is Huang Hansheng, and after Yuzhang there is Guan Yunchang..."

When Lu Deng thought about it, it was the same.

These arrangements are already quite stable.

Matters on the battlefield should always be left to the generals.

"No wonder Ah Chuke is leisurely here." Cheng Song laughed.

"People can't stay tense all the time." Huang Yueying also said, seeing the situation around her, she also relaxed.

Everyone laughed.

…

After returning to the mansion, Huang Yueying listed the ways to eat wheat again, and found that the most difficult part of eating flour in this world is the grinding process.

It's okay in the north, after all, wheat cultivation has a longer history.

But here in the south, people's awareness is indeed lacking.

Now that we have made up our mind to promote winter wheat and summer rice, we have to promote some pasta recipes, otherwise... the people's acceptance will definitely not be good.

In addition, several hydraulic flour processing plants must be built in suitable places in Xiangyang.

Let's leave this matter to Xinghan Trading Company.

Whether it is Liu Biao, the Cai family, or other aristocratic families, they have already suffered too much in the matter of Chu Paper.

She said before that she would slowly take back some of the benefits, but she wasn't just joking.

It has been more than a month since she gave Mrs. Cai Jade Skin Powder. In this month... I don't know how many ladies from aristocratic families have inquired openly or covertly.

This jade muscle powder still maintains a very high popularity, and it can be regarded as one of the early marketing methods.

The meeting she arranged for Yu Ji San was also today. The person in charge was of course Mrs. Cai, and the location was in a beautiful garden.

Just today... she can use Mrs. Cai's hands to scrape out a small amount of oil and water from the hands of these aristocratic families in Xiangyang. Although it is not much for each family, but all the households together...

The quantity is quite impressive.

After thinking about it, Huang Yueying smiled and sighed, this year Chu An... is still at full power.

Looms, jade muscle powder, Chu paper, books, cloth, dried fruits, salt production...

But, it's not enough.

…

Du Yang.

When Liu Bei met Cai Mao, he felt different from when he met Cai Mao before... This time he felt that the other party was more polite.

"I haven't seen General Zuo for a long time. I've missed you for a long time." Cai Hao smiled and looked at Liu Bei in front of him seriously. With this temperament in him, the future must not be easy.

Ah Chu was indeed right.

"Master Cai is so polite." Liu Bei was surprised, smiled repeatedly, and invited Cai Mao and his entourage into the city.

Cai Mao was self-righteous and looked at the situation of the people in this county. It was much better than when he was stationed. He secretly sighed in his heart that General Zuo would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.

Not long after, the group of people arrived at the place and took their seats.

"I also ask for your forgiveness, Military Advisor Cai. For this expedition, I have ordered my third brother Zhang Fei to lead the vanguard army to the north."

"It doesn't matter, soldiers are valuable and quick, so it should be." Cai Hao didn't think it was a big deal.

If something like last year happened again... just by being depressed, he would be depressed many times.

"Thank you, military advisor, for your understanding." Liu Bei was really curious.

But in just about half a year, how could Cai Mao's attitude towards him change to this?

"General Zuo, you don't have to be polite. On this expedition, my Lord ordered me to obey the general's orders." Cai Mao smiled, and then took out Liu Biao's letter.

Liu Bei naturally ordered someone to take over.

In fact, he had already received a similar letter from Liu Biao, but now... it was just a formality.

When he opened it, he saw that it was indeed the case, so he put down the letter and said, "Going to war this year, welcoming back the Emperor is still the first priority, but..."

"General, please tell me something," Cai Mao said when he saw Liu Bei pause.

"But this matter is difficult, and military advisors also understand it. After what happened last year, Xuchang will definitely be heavily guarded. Therefore, it will be more difficult to welcome the emperor back this year than last year."

After hearing this, Cai Hao nodded. It was difficult. Otherwise, Liu Biao wouldn't have been so entangled before.

"So, we will try our best to do this...but we can't guarantee success."

"General, you're welcome. On the battlefield... who can guarantee victory?" It's not like Cai Hao has never been defeated, so his mentality is still good.

"But we have sent troops after all. Even if we cannot welcome back the emperor, we should take back Wancheng and the place north of Duyang that belongs to Jingzhou." Liu Bei continued.

"Ah?" Cai Mao was slightly stunned. What were you doing with those places? They weren't worth much.

"Therefore, I would like to ask your military advisor to tell Brother Jing Sheng that in this battle, we will do our best to serve the Han Dynasty."

"General, don't do this!"

"If we get back that small area in the north, we will be willing to lead troops to garrison it and push the defense line northward... But the people's livelihood in these places requires Brother Jing Sheng's help."

Cai Hao was even more stunned.

This Liu Bei... is a bit stupid!

Does this mean that you want to become a frontier soldier yourself?

He handed over the management of the place to Liu Biao, but he only guarded the north of Jingzhou for Liu Biao... To put it simply, he did all the dirty work, but the benefits belonged to others.

"Mao wants to write a letter about this matter. Please ask the general to also write a letter and send someone to Xiangyang together." Cai Mao felt that he had to tell Liu Biao about this matter.

Although he holds great power, he cannot agree to such a big thing on behalf of Liu Biao.

"Thank you, Commander Cai."

My dears, it’s for today.

Happy May Day.

Good night.

It’s been a bumpy ride outside for the past two days…waiting for the trail to stabilize!
