Maicheng, Tian's farm on the west bank of Zhangshui.

The flow of Zhangshui is much larger than that of Fushui, the canal is built by the river to divert water, and a water mill is built on the canal, Tian Xin observes the structure of the water mill, and Yan Zhong leads several disabled military officials and craftsmen to accompany him.

Tian Xinzhen couldn't give any suggestions for improvement, and it can be seen from his regular script that this is a biased person.

"Prepare more water drains, and when spring begins, it will be transported to Duanshui to build a mill for military and civilian use."

"It can only be ground for military rations, and wheat flour should not be circulated among the people, and it must be controlled for at least three years, and it can only be used for military rations."

Tian Xin did not forget to instruct: "If there are skilled craftsmen who can improve the structure of the mill, they may as well be taken as officials." If the young people of each family have a preference for skill, they should be cultivated greatly. Craftsmen and their children should also teach the Thousand Characters Essay if they have free time. In the future, the Northern Expedition of the imperial court, there will be a shortage of talents everywhere, and they can write a thousand words, and they can serve as officials, and the counties are expected to be in the future. ”

A severed hand officer beside Yan Zhong asked with a smile: "Junhou, can I also be the head of the county?" ”

"Why can't you do it?"

Tian Xin raised his right hand and clenched his fist, and his tone was conclusive: "But under my rule, if an official can abide by the law and dare to enforce the law, he is a good official." Regardless of the hands and feet, the face is disabled, or the barbarian or son-in-law is born, they can all be promoted, and I will treat them equally. ”

The severed hand officer immediately knelt on one knee: "I am willing to die for the prince!" ”

Tian Xin raised his hand to stop the others, picked up the military official who seemed to be surnamed Zhou, and said with a smile: "Zhou Qing is a good servant, and when he has the clouds, he will bow down to me and have no merit at all." ”

Yan Zhong and a few people laughed, and then asked: "Prince, if the Jiangling County Government sends someone to inspect, how to deal with it?" ”

The water mill is not unusual, but the stone mill inside is strange.

"After Ma Fujun is promoted, I will inform the new county guard. If there are still officials to investigate, they can refuse to see them. If he breaks through by force, he will be handed over to the Gangneung County Government, and he will say that his generation is spying on the military. ”

After inspecting the mill, Tian Xin inspected the warehouse again.

Flour storage is not easy, so the production efficiency is not high, and the mill is mainly grinding all kinds of soybean flour at this stage.

In several warehouses with all wood suspended, the coarse silk sewn flour bags are stacked in layers, and a bag of flour is 60 Han catties, which is 15 kilograms, and it is convenient to carry a bag in each hand.

With the labor of the auxiliary army and civilian service, the flat shoulder carries 60 kilograms, which is neither high nor low.

There are also wheelbarrows, ox carts, and horse-drawn carts, which are much higher than millet in terms of flour calories.

There were a few cats in the warehouse taking a nap, and Tian Xin was relieved to see that the wooden floor and walls were firm, there were no rat holes, and there were no traces of dampness.

In another warehouse, he saw rice flour, which was much easier to grind than wheat flour.

Then he went to the blacksmith's workshop non-stop, where gold coins were being minted, and Cao Pi was a kind man, and gave two hundred and sixty catties of gold for the sake of face, and they were all good pure gold.

The previous version of the gold coin was a tiger tooth gold coin, with the word tiger tooth on the front and one tael on the back.

The front of this version is 'Long Live the Great Han', and the back is still one tael.

Except for one, the others are all simplified characters.

"Junhou, more than 3,300 pieces have been cast, and 200 can be minted every day, and it will be completed in seven days."

Yan Zhong grabbed a handful of gold coins and handed them over, Tian Xin casually threw them into the wooden box, and said: "This time the Eastern Crusade is a great victory, and then open the mold to mint 8,000 commemorative gold coins." I'll send you a coin blueprint later, preferably by September. ”

"Prince, eight thousand? This requires five hundred catties of gold, and the imperial court is willing to allocate it? ”

"Now Your Majesty has only gold, of which three thousand belong to me, and another five thousand are bestowed by Your Majesty on meritorious soldiers. By September, the five thousand gold coins used by His Majesty must be made. I will search for goldsmiths from Gangneung to send helpers, and the gold coins must be in good condition, and the share must not be short in the slightest. ”

Tian Xin instructed carefully, and Yan Zhong was slightly surprised: "Junhou, Your Majesty intends to make Junhou mint coins for the country?" ”

The minting is very profitable, and now there are two minting centers, one in Chengdu and one in Qianwei, both in Yizhou, but Jingzhou has no minting center.

The bronze ware that led to the replacement of various counties, counties and cities had to go to Yizhou to be cast into a straight hundred and five baht, or cast into other utensils.

It has become imperative for Jingzhou to set up a new official mint center, who will be in charge?

Yan Zhong's surprise did not last long, Tian Xin shook his head: "I have no intention of this, the matter of coinage is too entangled with all parties, this is not my wish." ”

No matter how brave the officer team is, if it intersects with the Mint Group and mixes it together, there may be two situations, both of which Tian Xin does not want to see.

He said and grabbed a handful of gold coins in his hand: "Yan Jun, thousands of years later, the gold coins minted by you and me have been excavated by future generations, and some people know about the merits of you and me and the soldiers, and the rest of the world, except for a few manuscripts that can be passed down to the world, what else can be left?" ”

"Minting copper coins, in terms of current national strength, must be mostly inferior coins. If others can do this, why should I pour dirty water on myself? ”

The minting work itself is a bit bleak, and whoever you are in charge of the work will definitely be slandered.

Copper coins are legal face value greater than the actual copper price, in which there are too many doorways; Minting gold and silver coins is much simpler, and there are not so many entanglements.

The original minted gold coins have begun to appreciate in value, and other military officials like to collect gold gold coins because they are a symbol of bravery and meritorious service; Haoqiang and officials also like to collect Huya gold coins, which may be due to Tian Xin's "Twelve Strategies for Epidemic Prevention and Rescue", which makes the Huya gold coins seem to have the effect of dispelling diseases, which is comparable to opening the light.

What made Yan Zhong regret was that the mold of the Huya gold coin was burned by Tian Xin and was not kept.

Otherwise, with molds, there is no problem in feeding a team of craftsmen.

After inspecting all aspects of the affairs of Maicheng, Tian Xin returned home to have dinner with his clansmen, and before the banquet was held, Ma Liang sent the latest military information, which was information from Liangzhou.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Wuwei Yan Jun, Zhang Ye and Luan, Jiuquan Huanghua, Xiping Quyan and others raised troops at the same time, called themselves generals, and attacked each other.

At the beginning of this year, He Luan killed Yan Jun, and Wu Wei Yan Mi killed He Luan again. Jincheng County Shousu led the troops to recruit the performance, and the performance was surrendered.

Su Ze was the captain of the Qiang Protector and the Marquis of Guannei because of his merit.

After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Qu Yan colluded with Zhang Ye and Zhang Jin, Jiuquan Huang Hua and others raised troops again, and Wuwei Zhuhu plundered, and Wuwei was too guarded by Qiu Xing to be anxious for Su Ze.

Wei generals Hao Zhao and Wei Pingtun guarded Jincheng and were not allowed to cross west to participate in the war.

Su discussed with Hao Zhao and others, believing that although the situation of Jinqu Yan and others was strong, they had just been integrated and might not be able to work together. Therefore, it should be attacked quickly, and it cannot wait for reinforcements in Guanzhong, otherwise at that time, Qu Yan and others will run into contradictions and unite as one, and it will be difficult to calm down quickly.

So they violated the edict and sent troops to rescue Wuwei, and all the rebels surrendered.

He also hit Zhang Ye and Zhang Jin with Biqiu Xing, and the song performance was known, and he led the 3,000-step cavalry to pretend to meet Su Zexing and wanted to smash the cup for the drama of the knife and axeman.

Su Ze also tempted him to meet, and the means were higher, and after the killing of the Qu performance, the Qu clan dispersed.

After that, Fei Yao, Zhang Ji, and Xiahou Ru sent by Cao Zhen arrived with reinforcements, and surrounded Zhang Jin with Su Ze, broke it, beheaded Zhang Jin and his branches, and the rest of the people surrendered.

Jiuquan Huanghua saw that the general trend had gone, and released the seized hostages to beg to surrender, and Hexi was peaceful.

Tian Xin has no feelings about this, and there is nothing to regret, the matter has happened, and it is useless to regret it.

I just don't know if Liu Bei on the front line can be relieved after hearing about it, and the best fighter in the pinching pass dissipated like this.
