Blocking the sun, the summer clothes cloth was delayed for half a month before it arrived here.

It was transported by Xu Zuo's 3,000 sailors, and there were arrows, thistles, green bamboos and other things.

Of the 4,000 horses of silk that Tian Xin applied for, only half of the 4,000 horses of linen were transported, Tian Xin held the list of materials and was speechless for a long time, but Xu Zuo himself was dissatisfied first: "The Eastern Expedition of all armies is imminent, and the banners and armor must be clear. Not only the princes, but also the summer clothes of General Zuo and General Long Xiang were also discounted by half. ”

Xie Jing's face sank like water, Luo Qiong's dissatisfaction was written on his face, the five camp governors were all indignant, Tian Xin's chief bookkeeper Yu Zhong's temper was similar to Yu Xuan, and he was brilliant in the first battle from Rong, and he was even more courageous and angry: "His generation deceived people too much." ”

"Brother Chengzhen doesn't have to be angry, the relationship is majestic to the army, this grievance is nothing."

Tian Xin held the list, turned his head and said to Luo Qiong: "As usual, one piece of cloth can make two sets of semi-finished clothes. Today, the saving materials are barely enough, and the soldiers of our army are out on the march, and the excess clothes cannot be sent home. ”

Luo Qiong's face was bitter: "Prince, the officials are waiting to buy and sell cloth in the military market." ”

The military market is a very strictly managed bazaar, which is specially divided into a camp, and nearby merchants, ordinary people, and mountain people come to sell some daily utensils or provide some services.

In order to encourage the surrounding people to trade, there is a city chief in the military market, and the military law is enforced. The scope of the sergeant's activities was also strictly restricted, so as to ensure the safety of the people.

Taxes are levied at military fairs and are often distributed as benefits for military officials.

The military officials were given rations, and they could not trade the rations.

The spoils of defeat Xu Huang's troops have been consumed one after another, just waiting for the summer clothes and cloth to spend.

In the era when there was no military salary, winter clothes and summer clothes became an alternative kind of military salary. You can wear it yourself, you can give rich fabrics to your family, or you can exchange them for some services.

Arrears of summer clothes are of the same nature as arrears of military salaries.

Luo Qiong paused and proposed: "Can you use linen cloth to fill the silk?" The Marquis of Shunde arrived with 4,000 horses of cloth, which was just enough for our soldiers to distribute. ”

"No."

Yu Zhong objected first: "All battalions have already known that the prince will distribute linen cloth to make summer clothes, and they are eagerly looking forward to it. If you don't give summer clothes, you will lose your trust in surrendering to the army. and then use linen cloth to fill the silk, then the trust of the tiger tooth officials. ”

He arched his hand to Xu Zuo: "Marquis of Shunde, I don't know if the Chinese army and the rear army will be halved?" ”

This year's silk, linen, and silk silk have not yet reached the time of harvest and taxation, and the treasury is naturally empty.

Last year, after continuous wars and the spread of the plague, Jingzhou abolished the rent tax, which refers to cloth and silk.

The silk silk and linen cloth stored in Yizhou were rewarded when Liu Bei was called the king of Hanzhong, and then 200,000 horses were transported to Jingzhou to reward the soldiers and hire Liu Chan.

As a result, before the tax rent was put into the treasury this year, the only remaining cloth in the treasury was very tight.

Facing everyone's eyes, Xu Zuo's face twisted away: "Yes...... It is paid in full. ”

Mo Chong, who had a bad temper, immediately raised his hand and smashed his fist on his thigh, his angry nose was crooked, and when he saw Tian Xin glancing at him, he lowered his head and gasped.

Tian Xin simply lay back on the bamboo mat, stretched out his arms and looked at the sky, and the corners of his mouth cracked: "There is nothing to worry about, Boxiong, you comfort the battalions, just say that this time you owe 2,000 horses, and when you return to Maicheng after the war, I will compensate twice." If there is no double silk, the same silk is used to compensate. ”

It's a big deal to go to Guan Ji to borrow, Guan Ji has a lot of money.

Unlike Guan Ping, who still has to raise an army, no matter how much money he has, it is not enough.

"Prince, why use the private property of the prince in this country?"

"No, these private properties are named, and King Han will compensate me."

Tian Xin turned over and asked, "Brother Chengzhen, who is in charge of the army's supplies recently?" ”

"From the former protector Pan Chengming, the left protector Huang Gongheng, the rear protector auxiliary Yuanbi, and the former army member Ma Youchang, the left army Pang Shiheng, the later army Zong Deyan, and Jiangling County Shouma Ji Chang, a total of seven people."

Xu Zuo's voice gradually lowered as he spoke, lacking confidence.

This list is like a mountain pressing on everyone's heads, Tian Xin laughed at himself: "I thought there were only two or three people in charge of this matter, but there were as many as seven people." It seems that the halving of the fabric of our army's summer clothes is a fair decision after everyone weighs it. ”

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the Eastern Crusade, it is not incomprehensible that the materials should be maximized.

Tian Xin turned his head and shouted, "Take the summer clothes I made." ”

Wang Zhi, who was on duty outside, turned around and went to the barracks and took two sets of Tian Xin's drawings, and two sets of summer clothes cut and sewn by women who were good at sewing in the military market.

Everyone was in a dull and congested mood, and when the summer clothes were brought, Tian Xin fiddled with a set and said: "This is a short coat made by me in imitation of the armor, with a slight improvement." There is a collared blouse, a pair of trousers, and a square shorts. One horse of silk can make two pieces. ”

He casually pointed to another set of fine linen clothes, and said weakly: "This is made for the surrendered army, the shirt is short-sleeved, and the cropped pants are one." One linen cloth can be made into three sets, and there are some scraps that can be sewn and used for other purposes. ”

Yu Zhong stepped forward and put on the short sleeves of the fine linen placket, and saw that there were jujube core-shaped wooden buttons on the placket, and tried to wear it and said: "If it is made wider, it is suitable for being a garment." ”

Wear another garment outside the armor, which can keep warm in winter and insulated in summer; During the parade, the armor outside the armor is equivalent to a formal dress, and the different colors of the clothes have the effect of easy identification.

It's just that the robe is wide in shape, with spacious long sleeves, and the right arm is exposed during battle, only covering the left arm and chest.

The climate of Jingzhou does not require clothes to protect against the cold in winter, so it is rare in the south.

Xu Zuo's eyes were admiring: "The prince has expected it? ”

Several military officials from Yiren immediately became fanatical in their eyes, and Xie Jing also squinted at them.

Tian Xin shook his head: "How can I have the ability to predict the future?" I just feel like it's hot and dry, so I should cut something cooler. ”

He looked at Luo Qiong and instructed: "I have drawings, Boxiong summoned the soldiers who are good at sewing in the army and the army, and made all this cloth into new clothes." The lack of cloth can be traded with the nearby people with the surplus funds of the military market. ”

He also arranged for Xie Jing and the governor of the fifth battalion to lead people to assist in carrying and receiving war materials.

Leaving only Tian Xin, Xu Zuo, and Yu Zhong, Tian Xin asked: "Your guards and soldiers have halved the summer clothing of the various armies in Nanyang, which is by no means a trivial matter, but is there an inside story?" ”

"There are some, the shortage of cloth in the army is about 10,000 horses, and the last general heard that Huang Hansheng wanted to follow the example of the prince and donate the silk cloth hidden in his home, but he was dissuaded by everyone. If Huang Hansheng dedicates the silk cloth at home, it will be inevitable that everyone in the Eastern Crusade will inevitably attract public anger. Therefore, the generals of the Eastern Expedition were dissatisfied with and slandered the princes, just like Zhao Zilong, the protector of the army in the past years. ”

"The generals of the Eastern Expedition slandered the prince and the marquis for selling his name, and the guards decided to halve the summer clothes of the Nanyang garrison to isolate the prince and the prince, and the effect of admonishment."

Xu Zuo's voice was smooth and slightly sneering: "I thought that the Han King's command would be harmonious and friendly, but I never thought that the generals of Jingyi Erzhou would be ugly because of the Eastern Expedition. ”

When he captured Chengdu, Liu Bei wanted to take the mansion in Chengdu City, and the land and manor outside the city to reward the generals.

Only when Zhao Yun said it bluntly, this matter was stopped.

Liu Bei received a lot of praise for this, and the resistance of Yizhou people was greatly dissipated.

However, it caused great indignation among the soldiers of Jingzhou and Dongzhou who participated in the war, and Zhao Yun's words broke their dream of becoming big landlords directly.

No matter how much reward and seizure you have, it's just fish, where can you compare to the land that can continue to produce fish?

didn't dare to resent Liu Bei, so he had to hate Zhao Yun.

Over the years, Zhao Yun has not been able to lead the troops independently, because he has lost most of the military heart.

On the contrary, because Zhao Yun served as the central protector and was responsible for the selection and assessment of middle and low-level military officials in the middle army and the rear army, it was very uncomfortable for the military officials of Jingyi Erzhou.
