I don't know what mission Zhuge Ke is shouldering, anyway, it must have been done now.

Zhuge Ke is just a trivial matter, 100,000 stone old rice is also a trivial matter, if it is 300,000 stone new rice, it is a big thing.

With the current tax system of Jingxiang and Xiangxiang, 300,000 stone rice is levied, about 80,000 households are needed, of which 160,000 stone are taxed for one year, and 80,000 households can actually receive about 140,000 stone if the tax exemption is included. The rest is offset by grain for household transfer and forced labor.

Too many people do not have looms at home, and the five-baht money is wasted, and the Dingkou money must not be collected normally, so it is changed to a cloth-based household survey.

If the people wanted to obtain cloth and pay taxes, they either used cloth materials and grain to exchange with Haoqiang and merchants; Or use these to exchange with the government.

In short, the people who do not have looms are very unlucky under the current household tax adjustment system, and they have to suffer from the triple exploitation of grain rent, household adjustment, and forced labor, and they also have to experience the technical exploitation of the powerful and the government.

Rice is not tolerant of storage, and old rice that is more than three years old is prone to insects and mold, and the south is moist.

The 100,000 stone aged rice given by Sun Quan can be eaten this year; If you ask for 300,000 stone of new rice, you can store it for at least next winter.

300,000 stone of new rice, which is about the one-year-old income of Yidu County; The soldiers, garrisons, and officials of Yidu County also have to eat Yulu, so Yidu County can also squeeze out half of the amount for the Northern Expedition.

Only Lingling County, Wuling County, and Guiyang County, which have a solid population, can each take out 300,000 stone of grain this year to support the Northern Expedition.

Not only the three counties in Nanyang, but also in Nanyang, Nanyang County has also requisitioned 100,000 stone of grain from the household, and more food, soldiers and population are in the hands of Nanyang Haoqiang.

Only by continuing to mobilize and maintain the Nanyang Haoqiang coalition army can we get the grain in the hands of Nanyang Haoqiang, and the price is to recognize the legal establishment of the other party, and the establishment is the official hat and legal status.

In general, if Jiangdong can give 300,000 stone of military rations, it will play a decisive role in the Northern Expedition.

This meant that the Han army could hold out for another month, and the one-month confrontation period often determined victory or defeat.

After Zhuge Ke threw off his sleeves and left, Liu Bei smiled disapprovingly and asked: "Sun Quan can't pay as much grain, is filial piety willing to move to Hankou?" ”

"For 300,000 stone military rations, the minister is not afraid of hard work, and he is willing to go to Jiangdong to ask for it."

Tian Xin was a little puzzled that the combination of Sun Quan and Pan Jun was too clever and had insight into Cao Pi's greed.

Cao Pi will definitely not honestly wait for the Han army to fully prepare for the Northern Expedition, there are natural dangers in Hanzhong, and the Wei army has already played a psychological shadow, and it is difficult to take the initiative to invade Hanzhong.

The main force of the Han army is assembled in Nanyang, and the Wei army is even more unlikely to attack, and the current Wei army has no way to take the Han army.

There is no way to take the Han army, but there is a way to take the Wu army.

The strongholds in Jiangbei and Huainan were the weaknesses of the Wu army, and unless Sun Quan abandoned these strongholds, he would be threatened by the Wei army at all times.

Either Sun Quan honestly followed Cao Pi's instructions, and Cao Pi could let Sun Quan run Huainandi; Sun Quan is not an honest man, and he is destined to be pinched by Cao Pi and coerced by Huainan.

Therefore, the Wei army and the Wu army must fight around Huainan, and whether the Han army intervenes at that time will directly determine the survival of Sun Quan and the survival of Wu.

The land obtained by diplomatic means has always been a hidden danger, and the Wei army and the Wu army fought a war for this, and they were convinced by each other.

The survival of Sun Quan and Wu is a matter of the future, and 300,000 stone military rations can be extorted and stored at any time at the moment.

Zhuge Ke, a fortune boy, brought a good news, and then Liu Bei visited the main temple of the soldiers under Wudang Mountain, which was flanked by six masters and thirteen tigers, each with a fence.

There are often Ban Yuman, Jing Man, and Han soldiers who come here to worship the soldier master, bringing fresh bamboo, prey, and filial piety to these masters, and the growing tigers.

There are fresh bamboos every day, and there are bamboo rats caught by hunters, anyway, this kind of little guy is also the ancestral snack of the masters, Tian Xin is also divided into several areas, and the excess bamboo is used as a fixed snack for the uncles.

The scale of the temple is not large, only more than 100 disabled soldiers live here to serve the soldiers, and open up their own fields to transplant fruit trees and grow vegetables.

Those who come to worship will bring some food and drink, and after leaving it on the table for a day, it will fall into the stomachs of these disabled sergeants.

The sergeants who remained in the temple were all severely disabled and unable to continue farming, and belonged to those who were directly eliminated by the troubled times.

If you have a disabled leg or foot, you can also learn the skills of blacksmithing and carpentering, which affects the efficiency of farming, but you can also support yourself.

But losing an arm and being illiterate is really a death sentence, and it is inevitable to be abandoned.

Liu Bei was speechless for a long time when he saw this, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Since Xiaoxian came to Rong, how many remnants have been raised?" ”

"There are more than 700 soldiers in Maicheng, all of whom are serving in the workshop, and there are also military officials who have broken hands and arms that do not affect the march and still remain in the army.

Tian Xin looked at the disabled sergeant who had been given a banquet under the pergola, and showed a smile, which could be regarded as having a clear conscience: "The minister has done his best." ”

The retention of disabled military officials has also caused a lot of slander.

It is believed that disabled officers are active in the army, which is not conducive to the mentality of sergeants, and will make sergeants afraid of fighting.

But the disabled military officials are really easy to use, and the military officials who can survive have been destroyed and tempered spiritually, and most of them have a cool official mentality.

What can be done, cool officials can do; What can be done, as long as the cool officials live, they will work hard to do it.

Liu Bei just sighed and followed Tian Xin to the Bingzhu Temple.

The statue of the soldier master is one foot and three feet tall, leaving no face, wearing a distinctive horn helmet and wearing a face armor.

In front of the temple, there are rain shelters for the Ban Yuman, Jing Man, Han military officials, and common people to worship, but there are too many bells hanging under these bamboo and wood pergolas, or with silk, or with leather rope, or with twine.

In addition to bells, there are also hanging nail leaves, jade pieces, bone pieces, or beautiful small wood carvings, and Liu Bei also saw some conspicuous slap big tiger skin negative medals swaying gently in the wind.

Tian Xin's eyes were also staring at those tiger skin badges, one of which was Wang Zhi's.

In the pergola, more than a dozen barbarians either bowed their heads or sat quietly and whispered slang to pray to the lord of the soldiers.

The warlord has war, health, fertility, victory, strength, smelting, craft, bowing, hunting, animal exorcism, protection of barbarians and other clerical fields, and is more popular with barbarian tribes than Taiyi God.

Liu Bei and Tian Xin walked into the main temple of the soldiers, the temple is only for the stone statue of Chiyou wearing a horned helmet, the walls on both sides are lined with rows of wooden boards, on the wooden board is Tian Xin's copy of the military book, on the left is Sun Tzu's Art of War, on the right is Wei Xuanzi, all through punctuation and sentence breaking.

At this moment, there are military officials on vacation in the temple who are copying from the Beifu, bringing in more gourd water and fried corn, and the pen and ink and bamboo slips are provided by the disabled sergeants of the main temple, and they are all silently copied.

Whether you know it or not, it is really not difficult to transcribe the two art of war, which are mainly simplified characters.

These military officials wore silk armor and epaulettes with the iconic Beifu military ranks, most of them came to Danyang Township to copy when they came to the Northern Shogunate on business, and some took a holiday to rest together, so that the transcription was completed at one time.

Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, didn't ask, and didn't worship Chiyou, just turned around, and walked out of the main temple with Tian Xin.

Coming to the fence on the left, Liu Bei said here: "Now only the military officials of Beifu come here to transcribe?" ”

"Yes, the rest of the armies are stationed far away, and most of the people who can come to Wudang are above the battalion commanders."

Tian Xin said and shook his head slightly: "The minister originally wanted to set up the main temple in Wancheng and Xiangyang, but Pang Shiheng said that it was too late, and the classics are more important than single-mindedness." ”

"Filial piety should not be impatient, Lumen Mountain is not made in a day."

Liu Bei is also a person who has seen the weather of Lumen Mountain, and said: "I want to make Hu Ben, Yulin Langzhong, and Zhonglang come here to pay homage to the military master and study the classics of the soldiers." ”
