Chapter 662: Seal

In mid-April, the 30,000 troops who had worked in Lishan began to draw lots one after another, preparing to repatriate 10,000 as agreed.

Of the 10,000 people, less than 4,000 were actually allowed to return home by lot, and the other 6,000 had permission to surrender early at that time.

Among them, the garrison under Wang Xiong of Lantian Pass, the light car army under Wang Zhong, and the garrison under Wei Ping of Shimen Pass, these three armies combined with more than 11,000 people. In the follow-up work, the work is also assigned to lighter work, and the labor attrition is also very small.

Therefore, in the case of few attrition, if they are repatriated, they will naturally be able to gather enough to meet the 10,000 people in the agreement.

It's just that many officials gave up going home, so they simply squeezed out 4,000 places and gave them to other surrenderers.

The surrendered troops in the lumberyards everywhere are also scattered and resettled, so as to avoid the same number and place of origin from working together; Officers and sergeants worked separately. The work of the military officials was easier, and they concentrated on the wooden mill to do some handymen.

The quality of military officers is more comprehensive than that of sergeants, and their learning and understanding skills are also strong, so they are good substitutes for technical jobs.

This kind of mixed work method has given a lot of room for the operation of reducing troops...... You can fake your death and get out, and you can be placed in the Shanglin Garden, and you can dig the ruins of the palace with the Han servants who are requisitioned and serve in turn.

There are too many ways to fake the death of the army, such as freezing to death, dying of illness, eating things in the mountains and poisoning them, and being killed when they escape, and even being captured and executed in a brawl...... As long as they disappear from the eyes of the familiar surrenderers in a reasonable way, it will ensure that the families will not be implicated.

The repatriation of 10,000 surrendered troops was a major event for the Wei state, and Qin Lang, the general of the Xiao cavalry, was in charge of this matter, and he brought many gifts from Cao Pi to Changlepo in the southeast of Chang'an to meet Tian Xin and express his gratitude.

When Qin Lang came, south of the Wei River in Guanzhong, surrounded by eight water systems and tributaries of Chang'an, and in the irrigation area of the Kunming Canal, it was the time when wheat seedlings were spitting ears.

When he stood on the horse and watched, he saw that the wheat fields were continuous, and there were neat acres of fields in his sight.

There are more than ten fenced grass huts every five miles, which are field houses for the families of the soldiers to live in when they are busy farming.

The sight of an imminent harvest in front of him was different from the information he had obtained before he came.

Before coming, all kinds of information corroborated each other, and it can be clearly inferred that the Beifu soldiers in Guanzhong only had 100,000 people to support two months' war reserves.

Looking at the current situation, only the wheat produced in the wheat fields east of Chang'an and west of Tongguan is more than 500,000 stone during the summer harvest. Excluding the north of the Wei River, the winter wheat in various parts of the south bank alone will have at least 3 million stone at the time of this year's summer harvest.

It is enough to make up for the war reserve grain in Beifu...... Therefore, it is difficult to get stuck in Beifu's neck in terms of food and salt.

After all, these people in the western Xianbei had a nest of snakes and rats, so they gave up hostility and ran all the way to the west.

As a result, Dou Bin monopolized the fat Hetao, attracting many small tribes of miscellaneous Hu to attach to him, and he was attached to Dou Bin's name to obtain the pasture allocated by Dou Bin, and let Dou Bin pick up the cheap in vain.

And the bald Pigu gave up Helan Mountain, and there are salt-producing areas around Helan Mountain...... According to the current speed of Guanzhong's recovery, Beifu will definitely set up a stronghold in Helan Mountain in the next two years of the Ming Dynasty to obtain salt.

There are also several salt-producing areas in Liangzhou, and Xiping County produces salt.

Qin Lang analyzed and summarized all the way, but because Tian Xin inspected the mint, Qin Lang and his party changed to a boat and went directly from Kunming Canal to Kunming Pool.

At this time, many lotus flowers are planted at the edge of the Kunming Pond, and there are more than 300 little geese that have just faded their fluff to play in the pond, and the ponds around the Kunming Pond are also excavated, and the soil is built to store water, and this exquisite artificial pond is transformed into a rice field.

Rice can also be grown in Guanzhong, rice and corn are the traditional staple foods, and if the wheat promoted by Tian Xin can not be ground into flour, the resistance will definitely be a little big.

Several of the water-filled canals in Kunming Pond have been renovated, and workshops have been built on top of these artificial canals or on the sides of the canals to process copper coins with the help of hydraulic power.

As far as the current Beifu coinage technique is concerned, the existing skill of copper coins is not difficult.

On the contrary, because Tian Xin himself will participate in the coinage, the mother of the coinage is engraved by Tian Xin, and the mother casts the money mold, and the money mold then mints coins.

Freshly minted coins have a lot of burrs, so they need to be polished with the help of water to remove the burrs.

Controlling the standard of the money mold, and then controlling the optimal proportion of bronze, this high-quality conscience five baht money can be interviewed.

In order to make it easier for the world to distinguish the coins, this time the five baht coins have the words "Dahan Five Baht" on the front and "Chen Gongbu Made" on the back, all of which are clearly outlined and obviously convex Yang.

In order to facilitate Jiangdu to cast five baht coins of the same specification, Tian Xin made a slight increase on the basis of the mold that had been opened, and cast a batch of money molds with the inscription 'Made by the Ministry of Han Industry' on the back of Jiangdu.

As for the mother money mold, it cannot be shared...... There is a hidden danger in this, and it will create inferior and high-quality imitation bad money to hurt yourself.

The matter of minting money is on the right path, Meng Da is repairing wooden tracks, and he is left to improve horse breeds, cattle breeds, sheep breeds, and inspect counties and counties during the year.

After the completion of this matter, he could take a break to inspect the counties north of the Wei River, and take the road around Anding, Jieting and Tianshui to turn around, and then take the Chencang Road back to Guanzhong.

went to Tianshui to enclose the land, warn the county officials sent to Liangzhou by the imperial court, and also warn Tianshui Haoqiang.

It was under the condition of such normal diplomatic exchanges that Tian Xin received Qin Lang.

Compared with the last time, Qin Lang has calmed down a lot, neither humble nor arrogant, and has a little bit of the bearing of a national minister, it may be the military victory of Wei to the outside world, and Sima Yi's military reform has encouraged Qin Lang.

The problem of Wei is obvious, that is, the treatment of the army is not good.

Now pay a great price and overcome all kinds of resistance to raise the treatment of the army, then Dawei will naturally have no problem.

Tian Xin first flipped through the gift list, probably at the beginning of summer, the northern fruits were not yet ripe, so the gifts given by Cao Pi this time were mainly various handicrafts and hand-copied books. The carrier of the copy is the good paper bought from the Jiangdu market last year, and this kind of paper has not yet resumed production because of the relocation of the Maicheng workshop, but it has become more and more precious.

"Lord Wei knows my heart, so I will accept these gifts. The surrendered troops placed in Lishan have also been gathered one after another, and they will march to Tongguan, but after passing Tongguan, all grain and straw supplies will be raised by the Wei people themselves. ”

This was agreed at that time, the Wei people prepared ships and grain at Fenglingdu on the other side of Tongguan, and the two sides completed the repatriation of the first batch of prisoners at Tongguan.

Qin Lang was about to agree to implement this matter, when he saw a person walking from the door in a hurry, went straight into the hall to give a salute and answer, and glanced at Qin Lang angrily: "Public, the Wei people are cheating!" ”

Tian Xin's expression was calm, he glanced at Qin Lang, who was inexplicably surprised, and asked Yan Zhong: "What is the matter?" ”

"The minister was ordered to receive gold and silver ceremonial vessels, among which there was a gold seal, the inscription was 'Xia Wang's Treasure Seal', and there were other gold seals, a total of six. The minister did not dare to move without permission. ”

Yan Zhong answered truthfully, but Qin Lang was even more surprised, and turned his head to look at his deputy envoy Gao Tanglong.

Gao Tanglong also didn't know the situation, and the two looked at each other.

As if the neck was a little cold...... Need to tickle.
