The leaders of Shanyue looked at each other. {What? You don’t know yet|Read COM, read the chapters without mistakes|Hurry up and Google them}

As Jiangdong's only designated guaranteed experience package, they may know which of Jiangdong's generals are stronger and weaker than Sun Quan himself.

These are the foundations of the people of Shanyuetou.

Therefore, when they met Ma Liang and his party for the first time last year, the first reaction of the people in Shanyuetou was to be shocked:

Which general from Jiangdong is so ungrateful in martial arts that he would use his tactics to humiliate someone even though he was conquering a mountain?

Although Shanyue was weak at that time, Ma Liang came with only seven or eight Wuling barbarians and five or six Han people.

With only a dozen people, what's there to be afraid of? Let's see what his plan is?

This is the simple consensus reached by the people of Shanyuetou.

And this careful attempt has paid off quite handsomely so far.

Shanyue people are a collective term. Shan refers to mountain people, and Yue refers to Yue people.

Han people who avoided war, evaded rent and taxes, and did not belong to the country were called mountain people.

The Yue people are the remnants of South Vietnam such as Minyue and Ouyue.

The princes came together, troubled times came, and the people were in dire straits. The mountain people united with the Yue people and went into the mountains and forests instead of returning to Jiangdong. They were scattered in Danyang, Xindu, Poyang, Kuaiji and other counties. They called Shanyue, and from time to time they were beaten by Jiangdong. .

Shanyue relied on the inheritance from his ancestors and the teachings of the Han people who fled into the mountains, and lived by fishing, hunting, farming, and making pottery.

When Ma Liang first came here, he was most concerned about eating.

The first step was farming, but after the preliminary investigation, Ma Liang was amazed:

You still use Lei Chu?

The Yue people on the other side who took out farm tools and explained to Ma Liang how they farm were also amazed:

The original name of this thing is Lei Chu?

There was an awkward silence between the two of them. Ma Liang suddenly remembered the light curtain, and even more so, the happy look of General Zilong and Xuande when they succeeded in the composition test.

Nowadays, Quli, which can be said to be the foundation of Xuande public welfare and the people, will probably be no different from this humble one in the eyes of future generations.

There was no need for Ma Liang to elaborate on his thoughts. Instead, he thought about it and expressed his hope to see the farmland.

When he was in the police, Ma Liang consulted a lot with Zhuge's military advisor in private. After the military advisor went to Chengdu, he occasionally received letters and read a bound volume of Light Curtain every six months.

Ma Liang can now understand the concept of science. After several years of hard work in Wuling County, Ma Liang also understands that craftsmanship cannot escape local conditions.

Therefore, there must be a reason why the mountains are still cultivated with grass instead of plows.

And soon, Ma Liang saw the farmland across the mountains, and the scene could only be described as unexpected.

For Ma Liang, who grew up in Jingbei and was used to seeing thousands of fertile fields stretching as far as the eye can see.

The land in Kuaiji County, which is fragmented and undulating on the hillside, would not be cultivated by anyone if it were in northern Jing Dynasty, and it would not be considered farmland at all.

But here it is the source of survival for hundreds of thousands of mountain people.

Ma Liang didn't complain too much. After all, Wuling County had survived, and now the conditions were just a little more difficult. So what's the difficulty?

When he was in Wuling County, Ma Liang discovered that this curved plow was undoubtedly a treasure for the mountainous farmland in the south.

When plowing on such complex terrain, the curved plow can more easily turn and adapt to the ups and downs of the terrain.

Moreover, the curved plow can be made very small. Compared with a straight plow that requires at least two people to lift it, a small curved plow can be carried on the shoulders of a man, making it very convenient to carry in the mountains.

So far, relying on the curved plow he made, Ma Liang, who was here in June last year, successfully opened up a situation in Shanyue.

And the climate here is warm enough that farming can be done even in July.

The result was the last harvest of grain last year, which completely allowed Ma Liang to gain a convenient position among the Shanyue people.

So from here on, what to do next is already a matter of course.

The curved plow made farming in the mountains easier, and the simple retting method further increased yields.

Use the insect repellent powder formula provided by Dr. Zhang to protect Shanyue people from poisonous insects during ordinary times.

He was also ordered to fast from raw water and eat raw food, so that the young children in Shanyue were completely isolated from the trouble of being eroded by miasma.

What particularly gained Shan Yue's impression was Ma Liang's no raw food and water order.

For this order, the people of Shanyuetou refused at first. After all, the climate of Jiangdong is already warm, which is suitable for eating raw food.

Besides, don’t you need firewood to make a fire? These firewood can also be exchanged for some food.

Helpless, Ma Liang had no choice but to tell the leaders earnestly and sincerely that there were bugs in raw food, which would enter the body and eat the brain and suck the marrow.

And along with it, there are a large number of cases collected by Ma Liang.

What particularly convinced Shan Koshi was the story of Chen Deng's death due to lack of treatment.

One is because Chen Denggui is the governor of Guangling.

From Kuaiji to the north is Jianye, which is the essence of Jiangdong. But what if we continue to the north?

Across the Yangtze River is Guangling County, so it is not too much to say that this place is a neighbor of Shanyue.

The second reason is that the disease Chen Deng suffered from is not uncommon in Shanyue.

After people died due to these diseases, bugs could occasionally be seen breaking out of the body. Shan Yue was very frightened and gave them names such as Yin Du, water bug, and internal sore cold.

Now that I heard that two miracle doctors had vouched for it, saying that all these symptoms were caused by the raw food they ate, the people at the top of the mountain finally made up their mind, and they all rushed to ensure that they would urge the people under their command to abstain from eating raw food.

Ma Liang not only talked to the leaders himself, but also sent Dong Jue and Wuling barbarians to explain these dangers to the Shanyue people.

This trip was deep into the rear of Jiangdong. Ma Liang had never thought of relying on Jingzhou's assistance, so he was well prepared before coming.

For example, cases of parasitic diseases caused by eating raw fishy food were all explained by two great doctors: Wu Pu and Fan A, disciples of the Chinese miracle doctor.

In order to make it easier for Dong Jue and others to tell Shan Yue, Ma Liang wrote it down with illustrations so that even Wuling Man could understand its meaning and then convey it to Shan Yue.

Of course, the order to ban raw food and water cannot be conveyed perfectly, but these people who did not abide by the rules and eventually became sick became the best illustration of this ban, so the people in Shanyuetou admired Ma Liang even more.

It can be said that in the six months since Ma Liang arrived, the lives of Shanyue people have been visibly improving:

Children and young people are free from miasma and water bugs.

Young people can use the curved plow to till the land carefully during busy farming periods.

During the slack time in farming, we use the retting method taught by Mr. Ma to prepare materials that can fertilize the fields.

The women were also very surprised: Mr. Ma even knew how to weave!

Ma Liang taught us the art of weaving, which was simple for Jingzhou people but brilliant for Shanyue people.

And conveniently improved Shanyue's textile machine: this was specially designed by Mrs. Huang.

The loom is simple and easy to make, and the coarse cloth produced is strong and durable.

The people at Shanyuetou finally put aside their doubts and bowed to Mr. Ma without saying a word. They even became more curious and respectful towards Uncle Liu in the distance:

It is truly a benevolent person to be able to send Mr. Ma to travel thousands of miles to help!

If you can make kind-hearted people like Mr. Ma run around, you must be a virtuous person!

But with Jiangdong's official expedition, a thought came back to people's minds in Shanyuetou:

Duke Xuande ordered Mr. Ma to travel thousands of miles to help. Could it be that he wanted them to fight to the death with Jiangdong?

On the premise that everyone respected the benefits Ma Liang brought to Shanyue, the people in Shanyue simply went to Ma Liang and raised their questions in an unusually straightforward manner:

Xuande Gong cares about us, but because of this, he wants us to attack Jiangdong?

After giving an answer that made Shanyue and others breathe a sigh of relief, Ma Liang leaned over and took a closer look at the color of the fired molten iron, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he waved his hand and signaled to go out.

When they arrived outside, before anyone could say anything, Ma Liang said first:

If I want you to attack the east of the Yangtze River, I can wait for the first lunar month and sail by sea with weapons.

As long as I put the sword in your hands, Shanyue will fight to the death with Jiangdong, who has been enmity for more than ten years.

Why go to all this trouble?

The people at Shanyuetou were silent at these words, and from the bottom of their hearts... this was indeed the truth.

And just assuming from the bottom of their hearts, they have to agree that this statement is indeed very reasonable.

The big surnames of Shanyue and Jiangdong can no longer be described as blood feud.

The blood feud is the hatred between people, but Jiangdong has never regarded them as human beings.

With this thought, one of the Shanyuetou people's tone became softer:

Then now that Jiangdong betrays the alliance and attacks Duke Xuande, Mr. Ma really doesn't need my help?

Ma Liang turned around and laughed:

Fei Zhan, what are your plans? How could I not know?

You just see that Jiangdong is empty now, so you want to lead Jian'er down the mountain to plunder, right?

So the Shanyuetou man named Feizhan stopped talking.

But looking at his expression, Ma Liang knew that he had guessed correctly, so he continued to call the names:

This plan is definitely not yours alone, You Tu! Peng Qi! Pan Lin!

These leaders, who were so majestic in front of Shanyue, listened to Ma Liang's roll call at this moment, like students who made mistakes, and stood up with their heads lowered.

Ma Liang sighed. In Shanyue, there were some who were escaping and some who were content with Jiangdong. Naturally, there were also some who had fierce attitudes. This was the case with these four people.

And Ma Liang can also guess this idea:

Don't you think that because Jiangdong attacked the people of Shanyue for no reason, you can naturally retaliate against the people of Jiangdong?

One of the four-headed men raised his head unconvinced:

Why not? I heard that Prime Minister Cao acted like this!

Moreover, now that Marquis Sun has betrayed his alliance and attacked, what does it mean for us to rob a few villages and counties?

These words were generous, but they failed to impress Ma Liang at all:

But my lord Xuande does not act like this.

The heads were suddenly speechless.

Ma Liang said leisurely:

If you insist on putting the surname's gap on the common people of Jiangdong.

On the contrary, I hope you can take these methods of livelihood and escape to the South China Sea.

So the people in Shanyuetou repeatedly promised that they would never rob the people privately.

As for questioning Xuande Gong... As far as Shanyue was concerned, they had inherited Xuande Gong's great kindness after all.

Whether you question or laugh at Xuande Gong's upright behavior, it is tantamount to slapping yourself in the face, and people over the mountains can't do that.

So Fei Zhan anxiously turned around twice, looked at Ma Liang and said:

Mr. Ma, then I will speak frankly.

I don't want to escape far away. I want to help Mr. Xuande. I don't want to escape far away from the South China Sea.

Following Fei Zhan's showdown, several Shanyuetou people also raised their heads, with longing in their eyes.

Fei Zhan was still talking:

I don't know how to revive the Han Dynasty, but if Duke Xuande wants to bring peace to the world, then I want to help Duke Xuande seize Jiangdong!

good!

Before Ma Liang could say anything, someone in charge shouted loudly:

We beat Jianye and took away the position of Sun Houniao. Please invite Mr. Xuande to come and sit down!

The enemy! We are also from Jiangdong, and I don't accept the current master of Jiangdong!

Mr. Ma, instead of letting us go to the South China Sea, why don't we invite Duke Xuande over?

This is Shanyue. They are either South Vietnamese barbarians or refugees who have fled their homes. They are straightforward and straightforward.

The scene suddenly became noisy, forcing Ma Liang to climb to a higher place before waving his hand to quiet the scene.

Looking at the expectant faces, Ma Liang was filled with emotions.

This Shanyue may be mixed with Han people, so there is no need for any cultural identification. After all, if history is taken seriously, their ancestors Nanyue and Ouyue during the reign of Emperor Wu became the people of the former Han Dynasty.

Unlike the Wuling Man, the relationship between the two parties has been quite tense since the Han Dynasty, which made Ma Liang almost use all his methods. In the end, he even became brothers with different surnames with Shamoko, imitating Xuande Gong, and finally let the Wu Ling Man return.

Nowadays, the mountains are rising... too fast.

You just come with me.

When he jumped down, Ma Liang was still naked from the waist up and led the leaders back to the blacksmith shop.

The molten iron previously had been poured into iron bars in the mold, and now the iron bars were being folded and beaten repeatedly in the hands of a Wulingman.

Dong Jue was explaining the key points to another group of Shan Yue in layman's terms.

People in Shanyuetou knew that this was teaching how to smelt iron and forge it.

There was no shortage of iron ore in the mountains where they stayed, but there was no reliable method of forging iron.

The iron tools forged by Sangoe craftsmen are extremely brittle, far inferior to copper.

It would be too wasteful to use copper to make weapons. It is far better to quietly send it to Jiangdong in exchange for money to buy various necessities.

To guard the treasure mountain without being able to enter is the most true portrayal of Shanyue.

But now Ma Liang felt that Shanyue's most basic survival problem had been solved, and it was time to improve the iron tools.

In this way, with iron farm tools, both cultivating fields and farming will be much easier.

Ma Liang walked to the corner, picked up a ring-shou knife and handed it to Fei Zhan:

Try it.

Fei Zhan simply pulled out a sword from his waist, then swung the ring-shou knife and chopped it down without ceremony.

After the crisp sound of gold and iron, Fei Zhan's own sword broke into two pieces.

Mr. Ma, this is...

Forged in the Shanyue Iron Mine. Ma Liang said without hesitation:

The blacksmiths from various tribes who were summoned here are to learn this method of smelting iron.

Fei Zhan's face turned red, as if he was drunk. The other leaders were also similar, and they couldn't suppress the joy on their faces.

Having been ravaged by Jiangdong's army with sophisticated weapons, they clearly understood the significance of such sophisticated iron weapons.

At this moment Fei Zhan did not hesitate and shouted:

The Lord of Jiangdong must be Duke Xuande!

Dong Jue, who was still explaining, looked back, shook his head and continued to teach these Shanyue blacksmiths this crude iron-smelting method.

There is neither a small blast furnace nor water exhaust. It is not the brewing method that has already been thought of, nor is it the stir-frying method that Jingzhou has just glimpsed.

Without the help of engineering tools, what’s the point?

But it is suitable for making farm tools.

Ma Liangzhong had more ideas. Looking at the Shanyuetou people who were happy with the crude steel-making method, he could only sigh that it was so satisfying.

However, the light curtain that changed their fate suddenly came to mind.

When he left Jingzhou, the last written record of the light curtain he saw was the end of Anshi.

I really want to go back as soon as possible and read the notes on the light screen.

Well, it would be better if we could meet Military Advisor Kong Ming as soon as possible and see the light curtain with our own eyes.
