Chapter 735

In the past few years, apart from purchasing grain from Han Fu and Zhang Miao's two allies, Sizhou also increased its grain cultivation year by year under its own rule, so the annual grain is barely enough. If there is another drought this year, then Sizhou's grain may be tight.

Although as early as the end of last year, the State animal husbandry government of Sizhou had already made a plan for this year, but in the troubled times, we had to let everyone keep an eye on it. That's why, just after the end of the new year, Huangfu Chaobo quickly gathered people to discuss the matter. If this happens again next year, the game will be more lively.

The discussion lasted for more than an hour, but there was no other way except to increase the land reclamation, increase the area of cultivated land, dredge the canals, and build dams to store water. Of course, it's also a way to increase the purchase of grain from Jingyang Prefecture, but it needs a lot of money. Fortunately, Huaxiong took a lot of money from the families in Hanoi last year, which made Huangfu Chaobo less short of money.

Now that it has been agreed, with a decree issued by the prefectural and pastoral government, the officials of the three prefectures of Sizhou began to arrange the preparations before spring ploughing this year. Counties began to organize people to dredge canals and build dams to store water. The money and food in his hands flowed out like flowing water. Fortunately, Huangfu Chaobo was not stingy with these infrastructure projects.

Although it costs a lot of money and food, the effect is also very good. People all know that these things are closely related to their own food, so they are also working very hard to do things. Although it is cold in spring, the enthusiasm of the people is very high.

The construction of infrastructure projects was busy from the end of the year until the end of February. Because spring ploughing will begin in early March, the projects everywhere have stopped one after another, and then the people put their energy into the coming spring ploughing.

In addition to the cultivation of grain, most of his energy was devoted to the reorganization of troops and horses, and the impact of the defeat in the first World War in Hedong became apparent at this time. The loss of tens of thousands of troops made Huangfu Chaobo feel that his troops were a little stretched, so after the new year, he had to adjust his troops again and reorganize his troops.

As Lou GUI expected, there were only two rains in the whole Sizhou after the Spring Festival. Fortunately, more than one month's preparation made rivers and ditches in Sizhou accumulate a lot of water. In addition, the snow melted and deep wells were dug everywhere, which greatly increased people's confidence in this year's grain harvest.

On March 26, 194, Huangfu Chaobo was still sitting in the general's office as usual to deal with government affairs. At this time, the door came the sound of footsteps in a hurry, and then, Shi A's voice sounded outside: "Lord, emergency information from Chang'an!"

Huangfu Chaobo looked up and saw Shi a rushing in with a piece of paper. He didn't care to salute. He handed it up and said, "master, I've got news from Chang'an that Dong Zhuo is dead!"

"Ah Huangfu Chaobo was stunned and said, "are you sure? When did it happen? "

"Shifu said that yesterday, when Dong thief insulted a maiden in the palace, his mouth suddenly tilted, his speech was harsh, his face was white, his breath was short and his mouth was salivating. Shifu estimated that he would be crazy immediately. Although he was soon sent back to the house by his bodyguard, he soon became unconscious, and the news of his death came out that night. Now the city of Chang'an is in chaos. Dong Zhuo suddenly died. None of the generals in Xiliang can convince the public. Now they have gathered in the court to argue

"What about Li ru? Can't Li Ru turn a blind eye? "

"Li Ru was seriously ill at the beginning of this year and has not been a director for a long time, so Xiliang Zhu will be more unscrupulous."

Well, Dong Feifei's figure is several hundred jin. He must be three high. In addition, he has been emperor for several years. He is so excited that he is crazy.

"What's the situation in Chang'an and Tongguan now?"

"Although there is no chaos in Chang'an City for the time being, the master said that Li Xi and Guo Si had started to send people to control the gates of Chang'an, and there is no news from Tongguan at present."

After a pause, Shi a said cautiously: "the letter from Shifu also said, I hope... I hope the Lord can send troops to welcome back to the world. "

"Huh?" Huangfu Chaobo was stunned, and immediately thought of "welcome back to the emperor, take the emperor to order the princes?"

Do you really want to be like Cao Cao, the target of the world's princes? However, with the emperor in hand, it seems to be a big temptation indeed!

Huangfu Chaobo's mind was full of twists and turns, but he didn't stop. He immediately ordered the assembly of people for discussion.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong, who were soon summoned, came one after another. Along the way, everyone had learned the reason why Huangfu Chaobo had invited everyone. They were all shocked. However, they were secretly thinking about whether or not to welcome the emperor back.

While waiting for the gap, Huangfu Chaobo is also carefully considering the advantages and disadvantages of this matter for himself. After much consideration, he decided to give up the exciting idea. Because he was very clear that he was not Cao Cao, and he did not have such skillful political skills. Moreover, the civil and military people under him were not like Cao Cao, and they took their relatives as the backbone.

Once I really take the emperor to Luoyang, my years of hard work will be wasted. You know, Cao Cao's treachery is often embarrassed by the loyal officials of those great men.However, since we don't go to meet the emperor, we have to find a good excuse. Otherwise, we will be criticized.

Soon everyone rushed to the general's house. After everyone sat down, Huangfu Chaobo asked Shi a to tell them what happened in Chang'an. Then he asked, "do you think this is feasible?"

"No," said Pang Tong. What he meant was that the new army was defeated, and it should have been safe to accumulate strength. Now to welcome the world back to the East is tantamount to getting angry. The arrival of the emperor in Luoyang is bound to attract the attention of the princes of Guandong. When housi state is surrounded by wolves, where can it develop at ease?

"However, Dong Zhuo's army has started civil strife now, which is a good thing for our state. Just as our army once again invades Hedong, it will surely pacify the rebellion in Hedong."

His words were immediately refuted by Huangfu song and his three friends. For the reaction of the three old men, Huangfu Chaobo had already been prepared. They were all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Now they have the chance to save the emperor and return to Luoyang in the East. There is no objection. Even Zhu Jun, who is upright and upright, has the meaning of "no king and no father.".
