Liu Bei laid the foundation, Guan Yu succeeded him, and Guan Ping assisted. The whole of Shinye has been in a period of rise, population, military strength, materials.

Of course, the upward momentum is slowing down, and the biggest constraint is the slave maid.

Slaves and maids are not endless, and now that the population of Xinye has reached about 200,000, there are basically no slaves and maids flowing into Xinye.

Even if there is, the price is extremely high.

In recent months, the only changes in Shinno have been cavalry and women.

The number of Zhao Yun's cavalry has reached two small battalions, one battalion is about 550 people, and two is about 1,100 people.

This is the only formed cavalry corps in Shinno.

Of course, because it is a newly recruited cavalryman, it takes a long time to train. And the war horses are not yet complete, and the horses need to be transported from the north every month, and if everyone wants to have war horses, and people are matched with two horses, it will take up to one or two years.

As for women, it is also the changes brought about by Ma Jin.

Since mid-August, Ma Jin has brought three to five hundred women every month, including Han women, Xiongnu women, Xianbei women, Karasuma women, and a mixture of fish and dragons.

All of these women entered the Captain's Department of the Diannong School, and a separate camp was built outside the yamen, which was managed separately according to each tribe.

Guan Ping learned a little that these women were slaves. The Han woman became a slave of the steppe people, and was purchased by Ma Jin and sent to Xinye.

In this respect, Guan Ping can be regarded as a good thing.

The Huns, Xianbei people, and Karasuma people are all about the same, all of them were taken captive and bought by horses.

By September, there were as many as eight or nine hundred women in the Captain's Department of the Farm.

Guan Ping has clearly ordered that after gathering 1,500 people, they will be uniformly distributed to the tunmin as wives, and the criterion for deletion is that whoever plants good fields and harvests good will get wives.

It's an incentive in disguise.

This made many people who took care of the fields very carefully look forward to it, and made many careless and lazy people very regretful.

Tunmin Chengyuan is the person who looks forward to it.

This tunmin's luck was a little back, because of his weak heart, he fainted on the paddy field, almost died, and was rescued by Qian Gui from outside the ghost gate.

But because of this, he cherishes his life more and more. He took care of the fields very well, a whole twelve acres of paddy fields, and very few weeds could escape his eyes and hands.

All unplugged.

Cheng Yuan was grateful for the return of money, so he worshiped Qian Gui as his father, and every few days, he had to go to the yamen to ask for peace to Qian Gui, rain or shine.

This matter has been rumored to be a good talk in the lieutenant department of the agricultural school.

It's mid-to-late September, the last days of rice ripening. There's nothing to do at this time, just wait for the harvest.

Cheng Yuan stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the golden rice, and the heavy ears of wheat that bent and drooped down, and a smile appeared on his face.

Thought.

"It's been a bumper year."

This is not judged by Cheng Yuan, who is a northerner and was born in wheat. It is the first year of rice care, so it is natural to judge how the harvest will be.

However, there are naturally experienced farmers in the lieutenant department of the agricultural school, and these farmers judge that this year is a bumper year.

Each mu of land should be able to produce more than 200 catties of grain. And 200 catties is the average line. More than 200 catties of grain is a good year.

Even if it is calculated at 200 catties per mu, 12 acres of land can produce 2,400 catties of grain. In addition to 30% of the tax, Cheng Yuan can leave 1,600 catties of grain.

According to the calculation of ten dollars and one pound of grain, you can get 16,000 yuan. At the normal market price, this money is more than enough to buy a ploughing ox.

It is more than enough to feed a family of five or six people.

And the fields are almost infinite, and there are barren fields everywhere. If there are five or six people in a family, then more acres can be cultivated.

The days will also get better and better.

Cheng Yuan didn't know that this was the reason why every time there was a big chaos, there would be a big prosperity. The acres of land that can be cultivated in the world remain unchanged, the population is increasing, and the government is corrupt.

People don't have enough to eat, so they naturally choose to take risks and make the other M.

After the Great Rebellion, the land remained unchanged, the population decreased, and the troubled times produced heroes, and most of the founding countries were wise, so there was great governance.

Of course, this is off topic.

From Cheng Yuan's point of view, there is land and grain storage, if there is a house, a cow, a wife and children, then Xinye is his root, and he can't drive it away.

Cheng Yuan stood on the ridge and laughed for a while, then picked up the basket and went to the small river next to him to fish, it took a long time to catch a few big fish, take the largest fish, tie it with a rope, and send it to the Yamen of the Dian Agricultural School.

Because Cheng Yuan would come to visit Qian Gui from time to time, the guards were very familiar with him, and just to see if Cheng Yuan had hidden weapons, he let him go.

Cheng Yuan slipped the fish and found the money in the yamen. The "father and son" talked in a secluded place.

"Father, this is a tribute to you." Cheng Yuan respectfully sent the fish and said.

Qian Gui smiled bitterly, Cheng Yuan worships him as his father, this is completely Cheng Yuan's own will, he is not very happy.

But it's been so long, and Qian Gui is also quite moved and acquiesces in the matter.

Qian Gui then stretched out his hand to take the fish, and then said: "The captain has already said that whoever produces more grain per mu of land this year will have a woman as his wife first." Your family is well cared for, and when it's done, don't forget to invite me to a glass of wine. ”

"What did my father say, on the wedding day, my father was in a high hall, sitting on the throne, and was visited by his son and daughter-in-law." Cheng Yuan said.

Filial piety is commendable, and it is imperative for that woman to be his wife.

Qian Gui felt very awkward, but he gradually got used to it, so he could only admit it.

After another three days, the rice was fully ripe. Under the auspices of Sima Ma Liang of the battalion, the Captain Department of the Diannong School issued a sickle.

Because these people are surrendered soldiers, their hearts are undecided, before that, the people didn't even have sickles, and kitchen knives were all ten people.

After the sickle is issued, it is in full swing.

Everything was presided over by Ma Liang, Guan Ping just stood forward, and then took the lead in symbolically harvesting the rice, and then stood aside to watch the excitement.

After the rice is cut, the ears are separated from the stalks with farm tools. Without hulling, the hulled rice cannot be stored for long, and the rice without hulling can be stored for three years.

Harvest and taxes are also calculated on the basis of shelled paddy.

After this treatment, it is sun-dried. At the beginning of October, Maleonn began to count the harvests of each family.

Although this year is a bumper year, because the people who take care of the acres of land are diligent and careless, of course, there are differences in harvests. But the worst output is 200 catties per mu.

The high one is two hundred and thirty catties per mu.

The tax of the Lieutenant Department of the Dian Agricultural School is charged 30 percent, and the tax is 30 percent according to 200 catties of rice per mu. The final statistical result was that the tax collected by the lieutenant department of the agricultural school collected a full 450,000 catties of rice.

Converted into stone, it is an integer of 3,500 stones.

So much rice, if you save it, you can feed an army of 10,000 for two months.

And this is still the case that the tax collected by Guan Ping is 30%.

In Cao Cao's Central Plains, the working people under the tuntian system were taxed at 55 percent. With official cattle, even June Fourth, the government collects sixty percent of the tax.

This is the power of the tuntian system.

Cao Cao relied on Tuntian, and the chassis became bigger and bigger. Yuan Shu and others did not understand internal affairs, because of the lack of food, the army was self-defeating.

Guan Ping did not hand over the 3,500 stone grain to Xinye's finance, but built a warehouse and stored it himself.

In addition to counting taxes and collecting taxes. Ma Liang also counted 1,500 people with the best harvest this year, and sent it to his wife two months later by the official department of the Dian Agricultural School.

However, the identity of the wife, the age is random.

From fifteen to thirty years old, from Han to Xiongnu to Karasuma, Xianbei people, you name it. Whether you get a beautiful, young, Han Chinese, or a Huns, it's all up to luck.

This year, the Xinye area, or Nanyang, Jingzhou area is a good year. Guanping's Diannong School Captain had five or six thousand people, and with the new production tools, he received 3,500 stone of grain in taxes.

Under the official rule of Xinye, there were 1230,000 peasants, (excluding minors under the age of 20), who collected 30% of the tax, and collected 780,000 stone of grain.

At present, the total number of soldiers and horses in Xinye is nearly 30,000, and this batch of grain from the tax can feed 30,000 people for more than a year.

Shinno's food is already self-sufficient.

With the grain stored, it can feed 200,000 soldiers and civilians for three years.

Xinye's military logistics strength is really very strong.

And there is one thing that has been put on the agenda. Guan Ping discussed with Ma Jian that day and decided to send troops to the three counties of Shangyong and turned his face with Liu Biao.

The date set is October.

Guan Ping didn't make a move, and the time came to November in the blink of an eye. Ma Jian couldn't sit still, so he took the initiative to see Guan Ping.

Diannong School Captain's Department, in Guan Ping's study.

Guan Ping sat on the main seat, looking at Ma Jian sitting in the guest seat, Ma Jian looked calm, sat upright, sat upright, and was moody.

But Guan Ping knew the purpose of Ma Yan's coming.

Guan Ping said to Ma Jian with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already made up my mind with my father about this matter, and I will never change it." But this time to send troops, we need to take the soldiers of the Ministry of Agriculture as the vanguard, and the people of Tunmin as the Chinese army, with many banners and bluffs. A general led 4,000 people to support the rear army. Since it is to drive these people, it is necessary to raise the morale of the people. I decided to give fifteen hundred of them a wife in mid-November. After they are married, it is not too late to set off. ”

Guan Ping didn't take the strength of the Shangyong people to heart at all, that was where Liu Biao's strength was weak, and the only thing to worry about was the Shen family brothers.

The plan for the battle is to end the battle before the beginning of spring next year.

There was only a month between October and November, and there was no big problem.

After the victory, Guan Ping will lead the soldiers of the Ministry of Agriculture, the men and women of the Tunmin, and station them in the Shangyong area together to carry out the next military action and properly develop farming.

So Guan Ping believes that it is important to motivate morale before the battle.

After all, the soldiers of the Ministry of Agriculture have already cultivated the fertile land in Xinye, and at this time, it is a bit shocking to give up the fertile land in Xinye and go to the three counties of Shangyong to farm.

After Guan Ping explained, Ma Jian left.

And Guan Ping has also begun to prepare for the dispatch of troops.
