"Regarding the strategy of food, there is nothing more effective than the military tuntian, especially for the border army."

In the quiet study, Zhao Yu looked at Wang Shangde and talked eloquently: "Two days ago, when General Peng went to Luyang, he told us that if the imperial court announced the distribution of 500,000 stone grain and grass as military food, when it was transported to the general, it might only be more than 300,000 stone...... Let's just count it all as wear and tear on the way, in fact, this kind of thing has been common since ancient times, although there are individual reasons, but mainly because of the distance between the two places and the inconvenience of transportation. In recent years, the general garrisoned in Nanyang to kill the Jingchu rebels, but the military rations he relied on needed to be transported from Hebei, Shandong, Xuzhou and other places, so it was inevitable to be constrained. I guess the general's delay in delivering a fatal blow to the Jingchu rebels and completely expelling them back to the south of the river is also a big factor. …… This kid has an immature suggestion, now Wanbei, Wannan ten rooms and nine empty, especially Wannan, countless fields have been abandoned due to natural and man-made disasters, why don't the generals follow the example of the ancients to implement the policy of 'border army tuntian'? ”

However, contrary to Zhao Yu's expectations, unlike the reaction that Fang had just heard about the "military market" policy, at this moment, after hearing the "military tun", Wang Shangde did not have much reaction on his face, and was even a little disappointed.

What's going on?

Zhao Yu was also a little puzzled in his heart.

And at this moment, I heard Kong Jian laughing and saying, "Haha, Kong thought he could have any good ideas, but it turned out to be Juntun." …… Boy, do you think you're the only one who has thought of the military strategy? As early as a few years ago, General Wang had implemented the military cantonment policy in Wannan, but the effect was not good. ”

"How is that possible?"

Zhao Yuhu glanced at Kong Jian suspiciously, then turned his head to look at Wang Shangde, and asked puzzledly: "General Wang, is this really the case?" ”

Wang Shangde was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Yes, when I led the army to Wannan a few years ago, Wannan was already controlled by the rebels, who killed the local wealthy clans and lured the faint people of Wannan to fight against the heavenly army with the advantage of the fields, but they were finally defeated by me. …… I am a general of the Great Jin Dynasty, so naturally I will not recognize the promises of the rebels and take back all the fields of those faint people. Because I was reluctant to put the fertile land on hold, I implemented the military tun that year, but later, considering that the rebels sometimes invaded Nanyang again, I could not ask all the troops to focus on tuntian, so I tried to recruit Wannan natives, but the effect was not good...... As a result, a large number of Wannan people fled north. ”

"......" The more Zhao Yu listened, the more strange it became.

You must know that the tuntian system is a clever strategy that can appease people's hearts, but how did it get into the hands of Wang Shangde, but it had the opposite effect?

He was puzzled and asked, "General Wang, do you know why those people fled?" ”

Wang Shangde was silent for a moment, and then said: "Some soldiers under my command have questioned them, and the reply of those people is that the official collection is too heavy. ”

Official revenue refers to the proportion of land harvest ordered by Wang Shangde.

Zhao Yu understood a little, and immediately asked, "How much?" ”

Wang Shangde replied very frankly: "Seventy percent! ”

Hearing such an answer, Zhao Yu suddenly realized, no wonder the Wannan people still fled to Wanbei under the condition that Wang Shangde implemented the tuntian system, this official harvest is too heavy, the farmers worked hard for a year, and after the autumn harvest, eight transactions were given to the army, only three percent belonged to themselves, even if this proportion was placed in the harvest year, it was just barely enough for the farmers involved in the tuntian family to make a living, not to mention the general drought in the world in recent years, the cost of a year's harvest was not as good as the harvest year, and the grain obtained in the end of the hard year was not enough to feed a family, It is no wonder that a large number of Wannan people have fled north.

"It's too heavy." Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "Seven officials and three people, it's no wonder that the people of Wannan fled to the north, if it is five or five, those people may still consider staying." ”

"Five-five?" Wang Shangde frowned slightly when he heard this.

"The general feels at a loss?" As if he had guessed Wang Shangde's thoughts, Zhao Yu chuckled and said: "Yes, the general paid the heavy price of many heroic soldiers, defeated the rebels, recaptured the fertile land of Wannan from the faint people who helped the rebels, and rented it to the people of Wannan to cultivate. …… It seems that the general is a little bit of a lowly peasant. ”

Wang Shangde glanced at Zhao Yu, didn't defend anything, and said calmly: "I'm just trying to get more food." ”

Zhao Yu shook his head when he heard this: "If the general wants to use the method of Tuntian to get more food, then it is even more necessary to reduce the official income ......."

"Huh?"

Wang Shangde frowned, obviously not understanding.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu explained: "Ten points of Tian Li, the official income is five, and the people get five, compared with the previous ruling of General Wang's official income of seven points, it seems that there are two less points of Tian Li?" But it's not. …… The general should hear a sentence that the world is bustling, and it is all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. It is human nature to seek profit. The general raised the official income to eight points, and the ordinary peasants who cultivated the fields for the general could not make ends meet after a hard year, and they naturally fled; On the contrary, if the general reduces the official income to two points, then there are countless flat peasants who have volunteered to farm for the general......"

Wang Shangde frowned and didn't speak, but Peng Yong was puzzled at the moment and asked, "But isn't that the official revenue of our army too thin?" ”

"Who said that?"

Zhao Yu looked at Peng Yong and said with a smile: "I just said that the trend is the nature of people, if General Wang lowers the official income by three points, and the cultivators have seven points, those cultivators will inevitably expand the area of cultivation after tasting the sweetness, for example, the first year is one hundred acres, and the second year he may spend more energy to plant two hundred acres, and when the autumn harvest is still calculated according to the division of the three officials and the seven people, compared to the first year's hundred acres of land, in fact, the general gets six points of land profits. …… If the cultivator cultivates 300 acres, it is actually nine cents of land profit, and the actual income is higher than the seven points of land profit that the general has ruled at present. …… I've only given an example of one household, but what if there are ten? What about 100 households? ”

Wang Shangde's face was slightly moved.

He had to admit that what the kid in front of him said broke some of his cognition.

Because he wanted to get more food, he decided to divide the land profit into seven points, and even considered increasing the official income to eight points at one point, but as a result, a large number of Wannan people fled north; And the kid in front of him persuaded him to lower the official income, at first glance his army got less food, but in the long run, from the overall situation, his army can get more food.

It's just that......

He glanced at Zhao Yu and said calmly: "You are very reasonable, according to what you said, if the cultivator cultivates 300 mu of land, compared to the 100 mu he cultivates, our army can get nine points of profit, but the farmer can get twenty-one points......

Zhao Yu understood as soon as he heard it: this General Wang was unbalanced in his heart.

The so-called not to be widowed but to suffer from anxiety, this is the most important principle in the world, the general in front of him, he is obviously a 'army first' general, he values the soldiers and despises the civilians - of course, from his standpoint, it is not surprising, therefore, when he finds that the cultivators he hires eventually reap more than the official harvest, even if the general knows the truth, he still feels uncomfortable in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu told a story: "I once heard a story, which may solve the dissatisfaction of the general. …… In the past, A and B traveled together, and it happened that A found ten copper coins on the way, and B said, "Those who see it have a share, and A thinks about it for a while, so he says, "Divide three of you." However, B was quite dissatisfied, saying that you and I traveled together and found ten copper coins, which should be divided equally between the two of us, so why can you get seven coins alone? And A said, I have picked up the ten coins, and I ought to divide them into seven. B does not follow. In the end, neither of them refused to back down, and finally handed over the ten copper coins to the government, and the two got nothing. ”

Glancing at Wang Shangde, who was frowning thoughtfully, Zhao Yu further explained: "At that time, Ruojia was willing to take a step back, and both of them got five copper coins, and they were all happy; And if B is willing to take a step back, then A will have seven, and he will get three, and although there is injustice, there is also gain; However, because B was dissatisfied with the injustice, in the end, the two could not negotiate, so they could only hand over the ten copper coins to the government, resulting in nothing for both of them. …… Don't you think, don't you think you're the B in the story? ”

"......" Wang Shangde took a deep look at Zhao Yu, frowning and thinking.

On the side, Liu Jian watched this scene with wide eyes.

If it weren't for the fear of disturbing Wang Shangde's contemplation, I am afraid that he would be unable to help but touch his palms and marvel at this moment.

"Wonderful! It's so exciting! From offering the strategy of Tuntian to persuading Wang Shangde to lower the official income, the two sons are all justified and convincing...... What a genius!'

He looked at the Luyang townsman with some envy, envious that this young townsman had such a genius son.

At this time, the Luyang townsman was still at a loss, and his eyes were fluttering.

Perhaps he was the most shocked one in the room.

His second son, Zhao Yu, the second son who was ignorant and naughty and spoiled by his mother in the past, opened his wisdom under the protection of his ancestors, and actually had such wisdom? When he was younger...... Couldn't it be better!

"But ......"

Noticing the obviously envious gaze cast by Liu Wei, the Luyang townsman couldn't help but smile back, and his heart was also inexplicably comfortable.

By the way, Kong Jian's complexion at the moment completely sank.

Just like what the Marquis of Luyang commented, Kong Jian is not without talent, he just has no virtue, when Zhao Yu explained, he immediately understood what Zhao Yu said, and immediately understood one thing: Juntuntian is feasible, but Wang Shangde did not use the right method before.

Seeing that Wang Shangde was carefully pondering what Zhao Yu said, Kong Jian was very anxious.

You must know that his purpose is to take revenge on the Marquis of Luyang and Luyang County, so he will instigate Wang Shangde to levy 200,000 yuan of grain from Luyang, trying to completely bring down Luyang, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yu, the second son of the Marquis of Luyang, presented Wang Shangde with two strategies of 'military market' and 'Tuntian' before and after - he can't deny that the value of these two strategies is far more than 200,000 money and grain, but the question is, what should he do if he uses Wang Shangde's power to retaliate against the Marquis of Luyang and the revenge of Luyang County?

Thinking of this, he interrupted Wang Shangde's contemplation and asked Zhao Yu: "Boy, this is just your one-sided words, but what will be the effect in the future, but it is two words." In the final analysis, you are just trying to coax General Wang to exempt the 200,000 yuan of money and grain levied on Luyang County. …… Take the matter of Tuntian as an example, as you said, it will be at least a year or two to see results, but General Wang wants to see grain ...... at this moment."

"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded.

"What?" Kong Jian was stunned: "What can be?" ”

"Don't you just want to embarrass me, under the pretext that General Wang wants to see ready-made food, and ask me if there is a way to gather grain that can be effective in the short term, and my answer is yes. …… Tuntian is just the long-term solution that I think will be the most effective, but I didn't say that it was the only way. ”

"......" Kong Jian opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to continue the words.

At this time, in the house, Wang Shangde, Liu Wei, and Peng Yong looked at Zhao Yu with an incredible look again.

The townsman of Luyang was no exception, looking at his son's eyes full of pride, confusion, dazedness and other complicated looks, and then muttered quietly in his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.
