Chapter 1036: Tens of Millions of Stone Granaries Are Piled Up
In addition to chemical fertilizers, there are also Jizhou People's Daily, which has now begun to appear on a large scale in the border of Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
The people of the two states, through the newspapers, are also more and more aware of Zhao Hui's deeds.
also knows the living conditions of the people in Youzhou and Jizhou.
They hope that under the leadership of Zhao Hui, their future life will get better and better.
More people pinned their hopes on Zhao Hui.
Although when Cao Cao was there, it did make their lives a little more stable.
But compared to Youzhou and Jizhou, Cao Cao can give them too little.
Just to avoid them being infested by bandits, but there are no soldiers to attack them.
However, compared with the taxes in Youzhou and Jizhou, the people of Yanzhou and Yuzhou are still miserable.
If you are busy all year round, you can keep yourself hungry and not starve to death.
And this year, not only are taxes much lower than before.
And those who use chemical fertilizers have even more harvests.
Under one plus and one subtraction, the people of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, many people's food stocks in their homes will be directly doubled.
Last year, I barely survived by tightening my clothes and food.
This year, they can finally let their families eat with their stomachs open.
Cao Cao's impression in their hearts was rapidly eroding.
In the past, Cao Cao would not let them know about Zhao Hui's policy in Youzhou and Jizhou.
With more food at home, there is no need to worry about whether to eat or not, and there are fewer people who want to be soldiers.
In today's troubled times, only those who can't survive will go to the army and eat a mouthful.
There are very few who can come back safely.
However, Zhao Hui has no plans to continue to expand the army now.
In his hands, he already has an army of 300,000, and there is also gunpowder, which is enough to deal with Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
He didn't need to worry about conscription.
On the contrary, it was Liu Bei and Cao Cao, after the autumn harvest, they had more money and food in their hands.
But the matter of recruiting troops and horses now makes Liu Bei and Cao Cao worried.
Although there is more money and food in hand, there are even fewer people who are willing to join the army.
Even if Cao Cao and Liu Bei continue to improve their military salaries, for these ordinary people, it is difficult for them to have the country in their hearts, what they care about is their own family, and what they care about is their own family.
Anyway, now that there is more food, the family does not have to starve and freeze, how good it is for the family to stay together, why separate.
Moreover, next year will be better than this year.
Everyone, in their hearts, has a thought about the future.
However, for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, they must expand the army, and they have a way.
Improving remuneration is one way to do it.
Of course, they will not increase the salary without limitation.
Although there is a lot of money and food in hand, it is still necessary to save some money.
In Xinye, Cao Pi gave the people of Xinye a different life.
However, for the issue of conscription, after the lack of soldiers, Cao Cao had already ordered that the people of Xinye, every family, must have one person enlist.
Under the mandatory requirements, Cao Cao's army in Xinye has also expanded to 50,000.
But there are only 50,000 troops, and for Shinno, there is no difference between them and a few thousand.
If Zhao Hui went south, they couldn't stop it at all.
Thousands of people defending Xinye, and tens of thousands of people defending it, now for Zhao Jun, it is really the same result.
Recruit some more troops, now it's just Cao Cao and they are all a little comforted in their hearts.
If you want to fight against Zhao Hui, it is impossible to block it with him.
Even if you add Liu Bei and Jingzhou's more than 200,000 troops, it will be difficult.
They had to unite with Sun Ce. Jing Ai Books
Since Cui Yan went to Yangzhou, he has been in Yangzhou for a year now, and he has not returned during this period.
But Cui Yan still explained a lot of things to Cao Cao.
Sun Ce's body has healed.
But now, he didn't dare to easily send troops to attack Jingzhou.
This year, he just asked Sun Quan to continue to subdue those mountain people in the land of Wu Yue.
Yangzhou, this year, there are also some people who use new chemical fertilizers.
Although Sun Ce's territory has not expanded much, his strength has also been greatly improved.
The mountain people in the land of Wuyue were brought by Sun Quan, and there were more than 100,000 people.
After these people were relocated to various parts of Yangzhou, they were also required to use new chemical fertilizers.
In addition, Sun Ce also built his own warship.
It's exactly the same as what Zhao Hui gave him before.
The shipbuilders here in Yangzhou, although they have not studied, but after they have figured out the five warships that Zhao Hui gave to Sun Ce, they can still build them.
However, they want to further improve on the original foundation, but it is not so simple.
Although Sun Ce has built his own warship, his warship is lagging behind compared to the warship in Zhao Hui's hands now.
Zhao Hui's shipyard in western Liaoning, those craftsmen, now began to build warships of 5,000 people.
Over the years, they have not been complacent just because they have succeeded in building a thousand-man shipbuilding.
They are still working tirelessly to build a more powerful shipbuilding.
These craftsmen already have a sense of mission in their hearts.
They build warships, no longer just for themselves, but for their families.
It's for the Han, for the world, and for their country to be stronger.
At the beginning, when they were invited by Zhao Hui, at that time, they listened to Zhao Hui's request and thought that it was simply an impossible thing to achieve.
But, in the end, they succeeded.
For the first time, they were thrilled to see the warship they had built themselves sailing on the sea.
From then on, they believed that they could build a more powerful warship.
Exploring every day, improving a little bit every day, they are getting stronger and stronger.
The shipyard in western Liaoning is still a closed area.
But many masters have already asked Zhao Hui to send their families here.
They are willing to dedicate their lives to shipbuilding, and they hope that their descendants can succeed them.
The result is a steel giant that can ride the waves on the seas.
These craftsmen have long been the most valuable wealth of the Han Dynasty.
Although Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Cao Cao, their strength has improved greatly after this year.
But the power that Zhao Hui has now is beyond their imagination.
Youzhou Jizhou had a bumper harvest, although Zhao Hui did not raise taxes, but for farmers, the taxes they paid were one percent of their harvest.
Their incomes have increased, and so have the taxes they have paid.
The granaries in Youzhou and Jizhou are all full.
In Zhao Hui's hands, there are already five million stones of grain and grass.
If necessary, he could also buy five million stone of grain and grass from the people.
Food is no longer something that the people of Youzhou and Jizhou are in short supply.
And Qingzhou, although it is a little less, but the people can eat the same, and there can be surplus food at home.
Their days don't have to be so hard anymore, and the burden on them is much lighter.
They can finally send their children to the academy with a wave of their hands without any scruples.
In the north after the autumn harvest, roads and bridges began to be built in various places. Many people have also renovated their houses.
In the villages, the villagers raised funds to build a brand new school.
