The era of five baht money, with a wave of Dong Zhuo's arrogant hand, passed like that.

Big five, no article of small money became the official currency.

Although it is said that the new emperor has a new atmosphere. But what followed was unprecedented social turmoil and economic crisis.

The society of light goods and expensive goods has made the lives of ordinary people a mess.

The speed of making money is as slow as in previous years, but the speed at which money is spent is one day at a time.

It's just a good night's sleep, and the price of a grain will double.

From the initial few dollars, it has climbed to tens of thousands of dollars in a short period of time, and it is still rising.

……

The news of the country's political affairs is circulating, very slowly, and it may be that the events of a few months ago, even if Tianshui, which is only separated from Chang'an by one Qinling Mountains, may not be known until now.

But when it comes to money and goods, there are businessmen who go from south to north, and the spread of news is very fast.

In the Juyi Hall, Liu Yun glanced at Gongsun Lu and Wang Zhi with sad faces, and took out a small cloth bag.

"Look, how about this salt?" Liu Yun smiled lightly and handed over the cloth bag.

Gongsun Lu grabbed one and put it in his mouth, bit it with a clattering sound, and asked in surprise: "Lord Ming, this salt is obtained from the belly of the mountain?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Yun nodded.

There is a big difference between this salt and the salt processed by various processes in later generations.

But in this day and age, it's already excellent!

After refining, it is not inferior to official salt.

On a mountain, there are three mines, and this salt is the associated ore of saltpeter mines.

For this reason, Liu Yun almost burned incense and kowtowed to Uncle Liu Che.

It's really beautiful.

Gongsun Lu put down the salt bag, sighed, and said: "Ming Gong, this salt is good salt, but if it is poisoned today, the people are not happy, and the money is expensive. It is still difficult for the people to find even a bite of food, and there is really little difference between salt and salt. ”

Liu Yun stood up, paced two steps slowly, and said, "Mr. Gongsun, what you said is bad. In terms of people's livelihood, this firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are all indispensable. Things are expensive and money is cheap, this is inevitable, inflation! When the people could not use the money, they naturally began to barter. And this salt is the most valuable thing in our hands, and it is also our future ration. ”

"Lord Ming, you mean, we will trade this salt?" Wang Zhi thought for a long time before asking.

Liu Yun pointed at Wang Zhi and said with a smile: "Zihan is exceptionally smart today!" ”

"Lord Ming, what you say, are you scolding me or praising me?" Wang Zhi tilted his head and said very depressedly.

Liu Yun laughed and said, "I'm praising you!" The situation of expensive things and cheap money will continue for many years, and we have to prepare in advance. Zihan, I'm afraid the way you train soldiers will change in the future? ”

Wang Zhi asked in confusion: "Master Ming, what does this have to do with my training soldiers?" ”

Liu Yun's speech was really a bit jumpy, and he was stunned by the wise Gongsun Lu, and he stroked his beard vigorously, and listened very carefully with his condensed voice, trying to keep up with Liu Yun's train of thought.

"Naturally, it has something to do with it! We're going to start Tuntian. There are now about 400 soldiers on the mountain, and there are two waves, one wave of reclamation of barren fields on this mountain, and the other wave of leased farmland for the common people down the mountain, and we still have to plant this land ourselves. Liu Yun said what he was considering.

There are now more than 400 mouths to eat on the mountain, and for the future, Tuntian is the best way.

Just because of this, in the past few days, Liu Yun has been worried.

Now that he is the master of the mountain, he doesn't want to learn from Madu, so he goes down the mountain to burn, kill and loot, and rob food.

It's not a long-term solution!

And, in a few years, I'm afraid there will be no grabbing.

Wang Zhi grew his mouth in surprise and shouted, "Let me wait to go farming?" ”

"What? Not happy! Isn't it nice to be self-reliant? Liu Yun asked rhetorically.

Wang Zhi didn't know how to answer, this thing was good, but he didn't have that freedom.

It is equivalent to returning to the peasant, and he still has to carry a hoe.

Gongsun Lu opened his mouth and said: "Ming Gong, I am afraid that this matter will have to be discussed in the long run. Tuntian is indeed a long-term plan, but it involves a wide range of things. According to the plan of the little old man, it is advisable to divide part of the troops and specialize in Tuntian. The rest of the people still need to do a good job of defense and preparation. If there is a war during the busy farming season, should it be a war or a harvest? ”

Liu Yun nodded, "I've also thought about these many questions. But now we are not a few people! There are only about 400 people, and there are too many people, but there are not many people. Since Mr. Gongsun also thought of it, he intercepted Cao Apu's way, and I used the Tuntian Lieutenant he made first, haha. ”

Gongsun Lu and Wang Zhi, who listened to these words, opened their eyes in unison, what can they do, but they don't understand.

"Then let's do it, Zihan, select two hundred older and experienced soldiers to be responsible for reclamation and tuntian. In addition, another 100 people were sent out to dig and sell salt. Remember, it's salt for food, don't want a little money, that thing is useless. They also have a very important task, to collect local intelligence, and first find out those clan magnates in Tianshui County. After all, we are mountain bandits, how can we do it without doing some old business? Liu Yun commanded.

He has such a small number of people under him now, and there are slightly more people than when Liu Bang was in the grass.

One point like this, one point like that, basically no one else.

But Liu Yun still wants to do a lot, and in the eyes of a modern person, there are too many things that need to be improved.

Wang Zhi was instantly enthusiastic, and he laughed and said, "Lord Ming, this matter is small. Those clan magnates, it's best to burn high incense, don't let the small ones target them. ”

"But...... Lord Ming, after this way, won't there be no one for the small one? Wang Zhi reacted, scratched his head and muttered.

He can still calculate this account.

As soon as the four hundred were cut down, he seemed to have only a hundred left......

Liu Yun said frankly: "The soldiers are not something you can bring alone, they are generally under your control, but they must be decentralized." Now we only have about 400 people, but we will definitely increase in the future. In this way, reclamation, tuntian, selling salt and spying, you each recommend one person as a centurion, and the remaining 100 people, you and I will personally bring them, they will be real elite soldiers, do no work, only do one thing, that is, drill. ”

"Ming Gong, this ...... Isn't there something wrong? I'm afraid that the soldiers will be prejudiced! Gongsun Lu said worriedly.

Liu Yun waved his hand and said: "There's nothing wrong with it, these 100 people are not fixed, and if you can't do it, you can retreat!" The other three teams will be selected separately. Although we are small now, we must also have all kinds of organs, and we are ready to become Dapeng. ”

Gongsun Lu and Wang Zhi were dumbfounded, it was really Liu Yun's operation, they had never heard of it, they had never seen it.

"Soldiers, not more, but fine! I want to build a strong team! Liu Yun said in a loud voice.

The countless war experiences of later generations have particularly highlighted the powerful role of an elite army and a strong general.

Special forces are now being vigorously cultivated in various countries, but they are not spending money to play around.

"Whoa!"

Wang Zhi's grandson Lu and the two kowtowed together.

Liu Yun's intentions, they finally roughly understood.

Respond first and then talk about it, and then solve problems when you encounter them, always singing the opposite tune, and it is easy to be beaten.

After a while, Gongsun Lu said quietly: "Ming Gong, how to solve the problem of not having much surplus food on the mountain now?" ”

Liu Yun was stunned, "What did I say...... Isn't it clear enough? ”

"Not enough!" Gongsun Lu said very straightforwardly.

Liu Yun patted his brain, the language generation gap, the absolute language generation gap.

"Sell salt, barter, we want food!" Liu Yun emphasized again.

Gongsun Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I see! The little old man understood. ”

"By the way, Zihan, I will personally solve the matter of leasing the people's land for tuntian. It's a waste of land for them to farm, and they have to do a side hustle. Dig a pit, make gunpowder or something! Liu Yun said.

"Whoa!" Wang Zhi responded.

He half understood Liu Yun's words, but he probably knew the meaning.
