Chapter 138: The Battle of Changshan is imminent

For Tuntian, which is more young and strong, Zhang Ji thought about it and said

"This is going smoothly at present, and each team divides the land to each household, which household is strong, the land is good, the tools are more, and which one is good. There are also two tuns, like the old and weak, helping each other, exchanging jobs for work, exchanging cattle for one day and people for three days. It's a little bit better. ”

"However, there is a team with a lot of young and strong people, and the land and tools were originally concentrated in 20 households, but the result was very bad, and there were internal strife and great contradictions."

"Are they a military tun or a civilian tun?"

"It's Juntun"

Tong Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's really the fierce and selfish style of the Xiliang veteran." Let them divide the ground and the tools back. However, they were temporarily reduced to Mintun. Such a chaotic mess within themselves must learn a lesson. ”

"In addition, this time, the tun that has done a good job in production has increased the ration of non-staple food on the basis of the previous distribution. The worst is done, the treatment of the military tun is reduced to the mintun, and the rest of the non-staple food should not be considered, there is no share of them. Of course, it is not the reason for the effort and division of labor and cooperation, which can be considered as appropriate. ”

Zhang Ji replied, "No! By the way, do you want to promote the way of those teams that are good at the old and weak? ”

Tong Yuan said: "It can be publicized in various tuns, but not from our point of view." If the tuns and teams are willing and suitable, let them decide for themselves, and it is enough for the county and township officials to do a good job of publicity and support. The same is true for the young and strong ones who do well. ”

He added, "However, there are a lot of old and weak children, and the division of labor and cooperation is particularly good, in addition to material encouragement, I plan to let those who teach literacy and skills focus on them." And they deserve it, too. ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Very good, under the current food standard, further improving and promoting education and upward channel is a better way than distributing more materials." I believe those old people will be very moved. ”

Except for some of the recent distributions, the grain is mainly concentrated in Haoyang. This is the case in these two counties for the time being. Then there is the situation in the counties on this side of the river.

Hedong is mainly engaged in the five counties of Pishi, Fenyin, Beiqu, Pingyang and Yangxian. Previously, a total of 150,000 people were arranged, of which more than 70,000 were military cantonments, including family members, and the rest were civilian cantonments.

In these places, Sumai was planted very late, and the harvest had just been completed at this time, so it is estimated that it will not be counted quickly by Zhang Ji. However, with capable people like Pei Zheng and Pei Ji, as well as the excellent tunhu exchanged from across the river in front of them, it is estimated that there will be results soon.

Within ten days, there were results on the east side of the river. Not counting the various Haoqiang and other counties, there were originally places to grow wheat. Just counting the military tun and mintun in the five counties, a total of 790,000 stones of wheat were harvested.

Among them, Pi's, Fenyin, and Pingyang, which have a large population and relatively flat land, exceed 600,000 stones. Yang County also has 100,000 stones, as for Beiqu County in the mountains, it did not copy the wheat planting in various places, but mainly used animal husbandry, hunting, fishing and mining. So the yield is less.

However, after conversion, the yield per mu is much lower than that of the other side. There are only more than 270 Han catties, that is, the yield of wheat per mu in later generations, which is close to the level of 140 catties.

Pei Ji is good at civil affairs, and the Pei family has long studied Kanto He, so he has sufficient relevant experience. He analyzed, "There are two main reasons why this output is not as good as that of Haoyang and Kanto. ”

"First, it's too late to plant. It was already the end of October in the east of the river, and the cultivation was not completed until the end of November. At this time, it is already very good to have this harvest. ”

"Second, the water conservancy situation varies from place to place. This wheat is very different from seed millet, and although wheat is hardy, it is not very drought tolerant. For example, the two counties of Pishi and Fenyin, which are adjacent to the river and Fenshui, are slightly better. Although there are many rivers in the vicinity of Binh Duong and Yang districts, there is a lack of maintenance. It is estimated that it will be better if the soldiers and horses of the military cantonment engineering can be allowed to rest. ”

Tong Yuan was very appreciative of Pei Ji, and then asked Shenlong's unloading department to explore and excavate tombs and mines in the hinterland of Hedong on the one hand, and repair roads, bridges, and streams on the other hand.

At present, the grain is temporarily stored in the counties, 790,000 stones, for a total of 150,000 tun households and less than 10,000 elite soldiers in Hedong and Taiyuan, and it is estimated that it can only be eaten until November. At that time, the newly planted millet will also mature.

It is enough to eat on both sides and three crops, but it depends on stocks and taxes to trade, absorb people, and deal with possible changes.

But in any case, Tuntian has been very successful. In addition to food, the military tun maintained good combat effectiveness, and participated in a large number of constructions, and also ensured horses, meat, engineering, etc.

Tong Yuan also asked Pei Ji and other officials in charge of Tuntian to encourage those who did well and summarized and admonished those who did poorly. According to this trend, it is believed that in late autumn, the area under its jurisdiction will usher in the joy of harvest again.

As for next spring, whether wheat or millet will be planted can be arranged according to the situation of each county. In short, as long as the people can be protected and let them work and live with peace of mind, it can be regarded as solving the most basic problem of this era.

However, the flames of war will come to you, and if you don't have the ability to deal with it, all this is just a big dream in vain.

In July, Zhang Yan and Jia Kui received bad news. After Yuan Shao's army was burned down in the poisonous cottage, he did not quit his troops and returned to Yecheng, but directly led the army all the way to the north, invaded Shangdang, and swept away the southern and central parts of the Montenegrin army.

Liu Shi, Qing Niujiao, Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Yigen and other commanders of the Black Mountain Army, because of the previous assistance to Yu Poison, suffered too much attrition and were unable to stop Yuan Shaojun.

Most of them, who would rather die than surrender, fell within a month, and went to Huangquan Road with their brothers.

A small number of remnants have penetrated into various ravines in the central and southern sections of the Taihang Mountains, and it is difficult to organize people and horses in a short time.

Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin Army, repeatedly entered Jizhou, but was killed and retreated by Yuan Shaojun.

As usual, Yuan Shaojun was dispatched, and the remaining soldiers and horses could not stop Zhang Yan from disturbing everywhere. But this time was different, because Yuan Shao specially arranged for Lu Bu to wait for him, and the two sides killed in the dark, and Zhang Yan couldn't fight the "Nine Plains Tiger" in the end!

Tong Yuan was taken aback when he saw Zhang Yan and Jia Kui's envoys.

According to his memory, until the elimination of Gongsun Zan and even the battle of Guandu, Zhang Yan led 100,000 Black Mountain troops and occupied a large area of mountainous areas. Why is there a tendency to perish now?

He didn't know that the situation now is basically the same as it was in history. How to choose depends on his current analysis and judgment.

Tong Yuan and Zhang Yan have reached an alliance, and this time they still have to send troops to fight against Yuan Shao, but this time the location is in Changshan in the north.

Historically, the Battle of Tokoyama, which was very important and had a limited reputation, came like this.
