One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 161 White Wave Army

What Qin Yi finally received was still a book titled "Encyclopedia of Agricultural Techniques".He took a general look and found that the book was divided into three parts.

The first part is the introduction and production methods of various agricultural tools; the manufacture, efficacy and use precautions of various non-industrial fertilizers; the use of animals, plants and minerals to make simple pesticides and their effectiveness.

The second part is the cultivation and management of various crops.Including how to identify soil, select crops suitable for farming, as well as sowing crops and field management, etc.

The third part is the deep processing of crops.Including the post-harvest processing and preservation of crops, as well as how to make agricultural products, such as flour, tofu, vegetable oil, wine making, etc.There are even some food and recipes written down.

It can be said that this "Encyclopedia of Agricultural Technology" is an agricultural encyclopedia in the non-industrial era.The things described in the book are far beyond this era, but they are all operable.

At first, Qin Yi didn't take this book seriously. After reading it, he realized how valuable this book was.With this book, he can vigorously develop agriculture in Lu County, which not only increases the income of the people, but also supports more troops.

After receiving the reward, Qin Yi was urged by Liu Ruoyin, and sent him back to Wei Kai's bedroom.

…………

In the blink of an eye, it had been three days since Qin Yi arrived in Lu County.In the past three days, he visited the county and asked Wei Kai about the specific situation in Lu County.The only official thing he did was to issue a "Notice on Animating the People."

The content of the "Notice" is intended to inform the gentry and people of Lu County that I, Qin Yi, are here and the Huns have been driven away by me. You don't have to be afraid in the future. I will protect you.I also hope that everyone can strongly support me as a trusted county magistrate.

Qin Yi wanted Zhao Yun to draft this notice, but Wei Kai took the initiative to help Qin Yi write more than 30 notices so that they could be posted everywhere.

Wei Kai's calligraphy is absolutely top-notch, and each stroke of his official calligraphy is written with golden hooks and iron strokes, which shows his skill.Moreover, his writing style is also quite outstanding.The content of the notice is neither vernacular nor obscure. It is both literary and easy to understand.

Although Qin Yi is not a calligraphy enthusiast, he was very impressed after reading the notices written by Wei Kai. He always felt that posting the notices written by Wei Kai was really a waste of resources and a bit wasteful.

In fact, after the notice was posted, it was quickly removed secretly by people who liked calligraphy and took it home for collection.

After Qin Yi learned of this, he had no choice but to ask Wei Kai to rewrite a notice, and then ordered Zhao Yun, Lu Jun and other people who could write to copy many copies and post them again.

During these three days, Wei Kai summoned craftsmen to renovate the county government office. Qin Yi didn't have to worry about the furniture that needed to be purchased, and Wei Kai took care of it all.

On the fourth day, Qin Yi, Zhou Cang, Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yu moved to the county government office.Wei Kai led all the squires to the county government office to congratulate Qin Yi for officially inspecting the government office.

For Wei Kai's strong support, Qin Yi was also a little puzzled while being grateful.I don't know this person before, but he supports me, the new county magistrate, so much. Is this person a warm-hearted person by nature, or is he ulterior motives?
However, it would be unreasonable to say that Wei Kai had other plans to curry favor with me.Wei Kai was born in the Wei family of Hedong, and he is one of the most powerful people in Lu County. There is no reason to curry favor with me, a new county magistrate who came from grassroots.

Don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Anyway, Wei Kai is so enthusiastic about him, it's better than ignoring him.

What worried Qin Yi the most was Xu Huang.

Xu Huang and the sixty cavalrymen have been away from the team for five days, and there is no news yet. Qin Yi is very worried.

Sending Xu Huang and his team to hunt down Yan Rou was purely Qin Yi's impulsive order.In the past few days, he calmed down and thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

Bingzhou is not a peaceful place, and various forces in the territory are intertwined.There is the Baibo Army in the west, the Black Mountain Army in the east, and some scattered forces of the Southern Huns. In addition, after Ding Yuan's death, Bingzhou has no leader. If a person with a certain power encounters troubles, the consequences will be disastrous.

Worried, Qin Yi simply sent Zhao Yun with [-] infantry to go south to inquire about Xu Huang's news.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun and his troops came back less than an hour after leaving the city.Also coming back together was Xu Huang.It turned out that not long after Zhao Yun left the city, he met Xu Huang, and the two led the army back together.

Qin Yi was overjoyed to see Xu Huang return safely.

"The county lord, I failed to catch Yan Rou and returned empty-handed." Xu Huang said with a face full of shame when he saw Qin Yi.

Now that Qin Yi has become the magistrate of Lu County, Xu Huang also changed his name.

Qin Yi stepped forward and patted Xu Huang on the shoulder, saying: "The task I gave you is a life-threatening incident. If you can return safely, it will be better than anything else."

Afterwards, Xu Huang recounted how he led his troops to pursue Yan Rou.

Yan Rou didn't run away alone, but brought a caravan with an obvious target. After Xu Huang went south, he soon found out about Yan Rou's whereabouts.

He led his troops in pursuit all the way, turned westward at Changzi County, chased all the way out of the boundary of Shangdang County, and entered Xiangling County, Hedong County, which was the headquarters of Sili Xiaowei.

Then, Xu Huang met the person blocking the way, the opponent was Baibo Army, there were more than 500 people.Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, Xu Huang didn't dare to fight with him, so he immediately led his troops to retreat.

On the way back, he found out after several inquiries that Xiangling County had been occupied by Yang Feng of the Baibo Army.As for Yan Rou, either she took refuge in Yang Feng, or was captured by Yang Feng, but the specific situation is unknown.

"The Baibo Army actually occupied Xiangling County?!" After listening to Xu Huang's story, Qin Yi was shocked.

Xu Huang said: "Since Dong Zhuo coerced the imperial court to move westward, and the Kwantung Allied Forces who attacked Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang, the surrounding counties and counties in Luoyang were completely empty. The Baibo Army, which was originally entrenched in Xihe County in Bingzhou, took the opportunity to go south and occupied Hedong County in one go. Several counties. I heard that the ultimate goal of the Baibo army is Luoyang."

"Hehe, the Baibo army will take advantage of the situation. Don't they want to occupy Luoyang and set up a court?" Qin Yi sneered.

Xu Huang said: "According to what I heard, Mrs. Guo, the leader of the Baibo army, has no intention of proclaiming himself emperor. He occupies Luoyang in order to force the Chang'an court to make him governor or shepherd of a state."

"Guo Tai wants to recruit security?" Qin Yi was startled, and then said: "Although Luoyang is an empty city, the Sili where it is located includes Chang'an City. If Guo Tai really occupies Luoyang, then he wants to be The lord of his state is naturally Sili Prefecture. Hehe, how could the Chang'an court agree to his request!"

Xu Huang said: "Master Xian, your news is outdated. According to the information I heard when I went south, the Chang'an court has changed the territory of the Sili School and Lieutenant Department. Chang'an, You Fufeng, Zuo Fengyi, Jingzhao, Hongnong The four prefectures were designated as Sili. A new state was established as Yongzhou, including the three counties of Henan, Hedong, and Hanoi that belonged to Sili before, and the prefectural government was Luoyang."
