Section 47 Government Army
Although Huang Zhen echoed Duan Kui's decision as usual, Cai Ji could see the subtle change in his expression clearly. Reminiscent of the last time the waterwheel was introduced, Huang Zhen's mention of promoting the waterwheel in Donglai within two months, and the glance that Duan Kui glared at him afterward. Cai Ji couldn't help but secretly speculate that the relationship between Huang and Duan might not be as strong as she imagined before.
So in order to verify the judgment, Cai Ji asked sideways, "Huang Gongcao, does it cost a lot of money to recruit homeless people to Tuntian, don't skip words."
When Huang Zhen heard Cai Ji ask this, she put on a professional smile and replied, "Xiao Cai Fujun didn't know. Recruiting displaced people is not just about giving land. The government also needed to provide the displaced people with grain, farming tools, and cattle, all of which cost money and grain. At present, what Donglai lacks is money and food, otherwise the government would not need to recruit displaced people to the fields. β
At this time, the smile on Huang Zhen's face had been completely replaced by melancholy. In fact, the tuntian system is a kind of serfdom system that has changed direction. The people who participated in the tuntian system not only had to unconditionally share half of the harvest to the government, but were also forcibly bound by the government to the tuntian and were not allowed to move. If it weren't for the current turbulent times when "white bones are exposed in the wilderness and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles", the common people would not have sold themselves to the government to participate in this unequal system of knocking out bones and sucking the marrow. Therefore, if the government does not give enough benefits to the displaced people at the beginning of the tuntian, it will be difficult to recruit the displaced people in tuntian even if they take advantage of the troubled times.
Far away, let's take Cao Cao in Yanzhou as an example. When Cao Jun first recruited displaced people to tuntian, due to the small benefits and the constraints of the military establishment, even if the displaced people were forced to tuntian, many of them fled. Cao Jun's real large-scale promotion of the tuntian system was after Yuan Jian proposed to Cao Cao to improve the tuntian system. Of course, none of this has happened yet, and Cao Cao is still nesting in Juancheng and thinking about how to retake Yanzhou from LΓΌ Bu. In contrast, Cai Ji is not only familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the Tuntian system, but also has many Tuntian methods as a reference in later generations. If it is implemented properly, Cai Ji can be one step ahead of Cao Cao and become the founder of the Tuntian system.
Therefore, in terms of recruiting displaced people in Tuntian, Cai Ji and Huang Zhen are on the same front. As the saying goes, seeking common ground while reserving differences, one more ally is one more help. Especially for Cai Ji now, winning over Huang Zhen will help her intervene in Donglai's government affairs in the future. With such an idea, Cai Ji pretended to bow his head and think for a while, and then asked Huang Zhen Huang Gongcao, can he first allocate some military rations to recruit displaced people to tuntian? β
As soon as Cai Ji's words fell, Tai Shici beside him hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, and said that it must not be! Xiaofu Jun Mingjian, military food is the foundation of the army's heart, and it must not be tampered with! β
Huang Zhen nodded and agreed, "General Taishi is reasonable. The old man also thought that in this troubled time, he should not use military rations without permission. β
Cai Ji knows history well, but how can he not know the importance of military rations. At this moment, in the face of Tai Shici and Huang Zhen's opposition in unison, while appreciating the two of them for thinking about Donglai from time to time, she also smiled and further explained to everyone that the two had misunderstood. Ji means that the army rations are used to recruit displaced people to form an army and settle in various prefectures and counties. He was ordered to farm when he was busy and practice in his spare time. It is necessary to know that if a soldier does not have a room, his feelings are not solid, and if he has a family, he is tired of the army. And to settle the soldiers' families in Tuntian, so that they can fight and rest, first, to calm the hearts of the army, and second, once the enemy invades the territory, in order to protect the family and the soldiers, they will definitely defend it with a dead heart. In this way, it can be done, the war will not be wasted, the cultivation will not be wasted, and the defense will not be wasted. β
"A good war is not wasted, ploughing is not wasted, and defense is not wasted! That's a great way to do it! After listening to Cai Ji's explanation, Guan Tong clapped his hands and praised it. As for Duan Kui on the side, he was silent on this matter. Because according to his experience, the girl in front of him either doesn't speak, and when she opens her mouth, there will always be a big commotion. Instead of coaxing, it is better to stand aside and see what medicine she sells in her gourd.
But just as Cai Ji was about to explain further, Tai Shici said with concern that Xiaofujun's method was indeed feasible. However, if the soldiers are busy with the tuntian, they will inevitably neglect their training. I am afraid that in the long run, it will be difficult for Donglai's soldiers to become elite soldiers. β
For Tai Shici's worries, Cai Ji can understand it very well. Indeed, most of the armies in Tuntian were not strong in combat in history. But these armies were more than enough for garrisons. In particular, the nostalgia for the land often led these defenders to burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. Therefore, Cai Ji then explained to Tai Shici that it was not unreasonable for Brother Daozi to be worried. Therefore, Ji thought that he could first select strong men to be organized into the government army, prepare armor and weapons, and pay military salaries, so that they only need to practice and do not need to farm. In addition, the old and weak soldiers who were screened out were organized into cantonment troops and placed in various prefectures and counties. In this way, there are not only elite soldiers, but also not mistaken Tuntian? β
"The government army, the tun army. That's a great idea. Tai Shi Ci suddenly gave Cai Ji a thumbs up. In fact, he was still struggling with how to deal with the old soldiers left behind by his predecessor. Now that it can be said that someone is sleepy and someone sends pillows, Tai Shi Cida can organize the Tun army to send those old soldiers with low combat effectiveness to Tuntian.
And Cai Ji turned back to Huang Zhen and asked Huang Zhen in Tai Shici's praise, "Huang Gongcao, do you think this strategy is feasible?" β
"It works, it works. Xiao Cai's strategy is really a stroke of genius. Huang Zhen stroked the goat's beard and smiled. It is undeniable that Cai Ji's move really helped him solve his urgent need. It should be known that recruiting displaced people only needs to pay a resettlement fee, and the cost is much lower than that of recruitment. Therefore, judging from the current amount of military rations stored by the county government, it is no problem to allocate a part of the military rations and recruit another 10,000 or 20,000 people to come to the tuntian. Coupled with the more than 20,000 people who have been recruited so far, it is expected that the number of people in Donglai County will reach 40,000. Although such a scale is not as spectacular as Cao Cao's collection of millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Tuntian, it is enough to ensure that the granary of the county government will be abundant in the coming year. As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart. Once there is food, why does he, Huang Zhen, need to look at the faces of Duan Kui and other gentry.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhen involuntarily glanced at Cai Ji secretly. To be honest, if it weren't for Duan Kui's vow that he would invite Liu Bei to sit in Donglai in the future, Huang Zhen would not have agreed to let a girl like Cai Ji be the Taishou. Even if she is the daughter of Cai Taishou, even if she has gone to the city to fight against Cao Jun, even if she can be appreciated by a fierce general like Tai Shici. But who would have thought that after Duan Kui came from Xuzhou, his attitude had undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only did he not invite Liu Bei to Donglai as promised, but he even said that he would continue to support Cai Ji as a taishou. And Duan Kui's reason is that Cai Ji has a ghost talent. What kind of talent can a girl have? Even if she guessed that Cao Cao would catch fire in the backyard. Shilin knew that Cao Cao had a gap with the Yanzhou family because of the killing of the border concession, and it was just a problem to cause Xiao Wall. In Huang Zhen's opinion, Duan Kui's vision of this land wealth is too short-sighted, and he will be played with by a girl. After these two things, Huang Zhen began to feel that Duan Kui was unreliable. It was only because Duan Kui commanded the gentry of Huang County that Huang Zhen endured it so far.
After that, although Cai Ji was prominent in the matter of locust extermination and disaster relief, Huang Zhen only felt that she was a well-informed and thoughtful prodigy. After all, whether it is locust extermination or cash-for-work, the specific operators are Huang Zhen and the manager. What really made Huang Zhen realize that Cai Ji had some ways was the promotion of the waterwheel this time. It must be known that Huang Zhen has never relaxed his surveillance of Cai Ji. Whether she went to the west of the city to find Sailuban, or Sailuban came to Taishou Mansion later, she did not escape Huang Zhen's eyes. Although Huang Zhen didn't know that there was an agreement between the two. However, judging from Sailuban's high-priced purchase of water trucks and the current high-profile donation, there must be high-level guidance behind this matter.
Is Duan Kui's matter a trap? By now, of course, he should have seen the truth. It's just that this old man is dumb at the moment, and he can't say what he suffers from eating Coptis chinensis. Who made him refuse to donate money to repair the water wheel, and now he has the face to accuse Sailuban of asking for a sky-high price. However, Huang Zhen was gloating about Duan Kui, but she also had some lingering palpitations. Because after thinking about it, it seems that there is only Cai Ji behind Sailuban. If this is the case, then this girl is not a prodigy, but a wise and almost demon!
It is important to know that regardless of age and gender, even adult men are very few who can do this. At least Huang Zhen didn't have the ability to blackmail a gentleman like Duan Kui like this. And in front of Tong GuΓ² Tuntian, Huang Zhen once again learned the extraordinary role of Xiao Cai Fujun. Huang Zhen knew that Juntun's idea was not the first thing Cai Ji came up with. As early as the fourth year of Yuanzhan, after Emperor Wu defeated the Xiongnu, he carried out large-scale tuntian in the western part of the country to feed the border army. And the surrounding Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others have already organized the displaced people into military tuntian. Otherwise, Huang Zhen would not have thought of the self-proclaimed Captain of the Farmers in charge of Tuntian. But there are really few people like Cai Ji who can analyze Tuntian so thoroughly. What's more, she also thought of dividing the army into the government army and the tun army to solve the contradiction between the elite soldiers and the tun army.
Could it be that the girl in front of her is really a ghost? Huang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little confused when she thought of this. If Cai Ji is just a smart prodigy, then Huang Zhen can temporarily use him as a puppet until one day he meets the Ming Lord and then dedicates the city to people. But Cai Ji's cousin is beyond the scope of a prodigy. Huang Zhen could conclude that with Duan Kui's level, he couldn't control such a genius at all. What's more, judging from Cai Ji's appearance in the past two months, this woman is not only not willing to act as a puppet, but on the contrary, she is still an extremely ambitious person. The question is here, do you really want to serve a girl as the lord?
Cai Ji didn't know what kind of tangled heart was hidden under Huang Zhen's smiling appearance at this moment. But she knew that using military rations to recruit displaced people was tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. After all, this approach is not a long-term solution. In order for Dongnae County to achieve rapid development in the short term, it is necessary to inject a large amount of money into it. Therefore, at this moment, Cai Jida looked forward to the first results of the Donglai Navy from the bottom of his heart.
And just when Cai Ji was secretly calculating when the Donglai Navy would be able to return with a full load, on the Yellow Sea southeast of Donglai County, a sailboat full of goods was sailing towards Dahan Daifang County in the wind and waves. I saw a waterfowl flying high on the white sail blown by the sea breeze. Those who are familiar with the customs of Samhan can tell at a glance that this ship is a tribute ship of the Benhan Gaya Kingdom.
Gaya is located in the rich Nakdong River basin of the Korean Peninsula, connected to the sea and rich in iron ore. The Gayans mainly make a living from agriculture, fishing, iron casting, and trade. According to the account of the Gaya, at the beginning of heaven and earth, six large eggs containing the Son of Heaven fell from heaven. Six boys emerge from their shells and grow up twelve days later. One of them, Shoulu, became the king of the Golden Ruler Gayage. The other five founded the Great Gaya, Seongsan Gayage, Arokaya, Guning Gayage, and Lesser Gayage, respectively. Therefore, the Gaya kingdom used waterfowl as a totem, and the golden official Gaya was the leader of the alliance, and its lord called himself the king of Shuro.
Like many small East Asian states of this era, the Gaya-state traded regularly with the Han dynasty through a guΓ² tributary system. It mainly used ironware, rice and other materials to exchange various luxury goods with the Han people in the Liaodong Peninsula. However, compared to the other city-states of Samhan, the people of Gaya have always been quite arrogant. Because according to the people of Gayage, their lord King Shulu once married Xu Huangyu, the princess of Tianzhu Ayuta. People who know a little about Tianzhu know that Princess Tianzhu cannot have such a typical Chinese name as Xu Huangyu. In fact, according to the archaeological confirmation of later generations, this woman surnamed Xu, who called herself Princess Tianzhu, was actually a Sichuan girl who fled overseas with her family during the time of Emperor Guangwu. And what she and her brother Xu Baoyu brought to the country of Gaya was not imported Buddhism from Tianzhu, but Taoism native to the Central Plains. But no matter how flawed the lies of the Xu siblings were. At least the people of Gaya firmly believe that they are the descendants of the noble King Shuro and Princess Tianzhu. Therefore, every time the Gayaju Kingdom would bring a large number of tributes to Obibang County to trade, in order to show its national strength.
However, just as the envoys of the Gaya Kingdom stood on the bow of the ship and longed for a large number of luxury goods from the Han land this time, the sailors on the ship suddenly became agitated. It turned out that two small black dots suddenly appeared on the sea level not far away, and took advantage of the favorable wind to quickly sail towards the tributary ship.
"There are pirates!"
"Quick, quick, quick!"
With a hoarse roar, the Gaya sailors on the tribute ship quickly took up their weapons and lined up on both sides of the ship. It must be known that although there are not many ships on the Yellow Sea, there are always people who are not afraid of death at this time of year to gather and rob. Since the Gaya Kingdom produces iron tools, it does not hide from the arrival of pirates, but instead adjusts its sails and rushes straight towards the nearest pirate ship.
I heard a muffled thud, and the two ships collided solidly. The Gaya sailors lined up on the ship staggered and staggered. And when they finally regained their balance, they heard a strange sound whizzing, and several flames suddenly erupted from the pirate ship opposite. Gayageum, who had never seen such a battle, was immediately stunned with fright. Some sailors even simply dropped their weapons and shouted "monsters"! And for them, the real nightmare has just begun.
