Zhang Ji, in addition to serving as the commander of Haoyang County, also served as the head of the military tun and the auxiliary general of the military service of the Dreadnought Army. After all, Tong Yuan knew that in addition to his top-level administrative ability, he also had certain military ability.

Maybe in terms of fighting in battle, Zhang Ji was really not famous during the Three Kingdoms period, but in terms of raising troops and providing ordnance items, that is, similar to army construction and equipment support in later generations, his ability and achievements can even rank in the top ten, at least stronger than a strong general.

If you want to run rampant in this decade, what you need is "ten thousand enemies"; If you really want to build a dynasty and pass the test of the times in a strong state, you must have a strong, dynamic army that can be maintained.

In Sanfu and this land to the north, no one in this era has done better than Zhang Ji, so he deserves such trust.

At this time, it was July, and the military and civilian tuns were not suitable for planting staple grains such as millet and wheat at this time. Tong Yuan didn't know about the agricultural affairs of this era, so he had to ask Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji said: "You can grow wheat. As Gu knows, Sumai is widely cultivated in the Kanto region and has a long history. It is said that the wheat is often ploughed in August, sown in September, and harvested at the end of April of the following year. However, the cultivation of wheat in Guanzhong was not small until the current dynasty, and there is still a large gap in seeds and talents. ”

"For now, the Kanto region is cut off, and it is necessary to buy seeds from other prefectures in Sanfu and from Tianshui and Hanzhong. In terms of talents, we can only look for farmers who have experience in planting wheat as grassroots officials, and then promote the planting experience. ”

Tong Yuan really didn't expect that in this era, wheat cultivation in Henan, Shandong and other places in Kanto was more extensive, but the promotion of Sanfu in Guanzhong was relatively limited. He asked again, "Why do you want to go to Tianshui and Hanzhong to buy seeds?"

Zhang Ji replied: "One of the main reasons why wheat cultivation in Guanzhong has not been widely promoted is the problem of water conservancy in disrepair, and millet is more drought-tolerant than wheat. ”

"Especially in the past two hundred years, the Hetao has gradually fallen, and the north of Chang'an has been repeatedly harassed by the Hu people, which is even more inconvenient for building water conservancy. Millet is drought-tolerant and does not require stone grinding processing, so it has a strong sense of hunger. Therefore, most places in Guanzhong are still mainly planted with millet. ”

"Although Tianshui and Hanzhong are more remote than the Guanzhong Plain, they are rare treasures of abundant water and soil in the surrounding mountains. As far as I know, these two regions produce a large amount of wheat every year, and they are the most famous wheat producing areas in Japan except for the Kanto region. ”

Zhang not only knows the situation in these two places, but also has the way. He may not be able to reach the famous family of Tianshui, but he still knows some poor businessmen.

For hundreds of years, from Zuo Fengyi of Sanfu to Tianshui County of Liangzhou, there has been an endless stream of business travelers. Although Liangzhou has repeatedly rebelled in recent years, and the trade route has been affected, this trade route is still an important artery in the northwest.

Since Zhang has obtained sufficient seeds, with the financial support of the Dong family, he will definitely not return in vain.

The question of what to plant, where the seeds come from, and how to plant them is left. This kind of wheat is based on experience, and secondly, it is necessary to learn and train.

Regarding this question, Zhang Ji thought about it a little and said: "Why not refer to Yan Shengzhi? This person wrote important agricultural books on agriculture and seasons for the Han Dynasty. Often referred to as the Book of Victory, the eighteen chapters of the Victory of the Empire describe the agricultural planting techniques and the characteristics of various crops in the north. ”

Tong Yuan had never heard of this book, and only felt that it sounded mysterious, and asked, "Does De Jong have this book?"

"I didn't have it with me, but I had a way. Although a certain person was born in a scholar family, his family was in the middle of the road, and he had no relationship with academia and court. But a certain preference for business and food, when he was young, he liked to read history books and all kinds of strange books. This "Book of Bisheng" is recorded in the Book of Han and can be read in Xiayang County. ”

"I estimate that after arranging the fields and seeds, there is still a lot of knowledge in managing the land. We can have experienced farmers and officials who can read the written language go back and forth to the various cantonment teams to conduct propaganda demonstrations. ”

Tong Yuan said: "Wait for the overall arrangement of Mintun, and the rest of the affairs will be arranged by De Rong and everyone first, and I will go to Xiayang to deal with the relevant matters."

"No."

After the initial arrangements were made, Tong Yuan planned to personally give a speech to 50,000 people, so that they could accept this new form of organization with peace of mind. With the cooperation of Zhang Ji and others, whenever a song was composed during the day, it was summoned and Tong Yuan gave a speech.

There are 500 households in Mintun, and the population of each household is different, even if there are newly appointed tun chiefs and captains to maintain order, they are still chaotic. Several tun chiefs and captains came up with a way, since there are too many people, it is better to have two people from each household, so that the arrangement is not only efficient, but also can convey the news to each household.

Tong Yuan and Zhang both immediately tried this method, and sure enough, the efficiency of Mintun improved, so they improved according to this method, and if there were more than nine people in a household, they were allowed to add one more person to the scene.

Tong Yuan looked at the old men and young men around him, as well as dozens of peasant women, and he said loudly: "You were originally farmers, craftsmen, citizens, peasant women and even children of wealthy families, but now you have the same identity, they are all tun people, and they are all under the command of the Dong family and me, I have some rules that must be said!" ”

As soon as he spoke, the initial noise disappeared, and when the servants and soldiers passed the word "everyone" to the end, he continued:

"Starting tomorrow, the teams will count hoes, ploughs, ploughs, forks, rakes, and other tools, woks, retorts, retorts, kettles, and other cooking utensils and containers, as well as cattle, horses, donkeys, and mules. Grain and grass are distributed to each team, and the young and strong of each team receive one stone per month per head, and the rest are received every month, and the rest of the old and weak and half-grown children who do farm work are 100 to 200 catties (Han), and women with more children are received according to the young and strong.

"Whether each family is drying grain and cooking alone, or arranging to be in the team, it is up to you to make your own decisions according to your own situation, don't all be the same. Land and cultivation too. ”

Some people in the tun originally thought that the tuntian would be cultivated in a unified manner in accordance with the way of the military tun, but they did not expect that each team would be allowed to make their own arrangements. Isn't this the same as working on the land of each household?

"However, if the food production of each team is too small, not only will it not be able to be promoted, but it will also reduce the rations, and if there are bad situations such as laziness and destruction, the most serious will be expelled or even killed! The old man, wife and child in the family were expelled from the tun household, and they were slaughtered and left to fend for themselves! ”

Everyone was shocked, Dong Jiajun is still the same Dong Jiajun!

"How to improve the output of the whole team, you have to find a way, each team has to find a way, your land will also be divided into fertile land, medium land, thin land, comparison between various types of land, will not take the team with fat land and thin land comparison, but thin land more than the middle land has a prize, the same is true for the middle land over the fertile land."

"I have one last order and a reward, and no one can take the Dong family and my land to divide. What is the use of me keeping you? If the team produces more grain, and does a good job as a craftsman, the general will still be rewarded! ”
