Hanzhong's tuntian system
"If I don't hide it, I still have to recruit soldiers again, how can I be disarmed?" When I saw Xun You's eyes looking at me, I was immediately embarrassed.
Hearing this, Xun You was immediately anxious and hurriedly said, "The lord wants to recruit soldiers again?" This is absolutely unacceptable! The former turned Zhang Lu attacked, and there was no grain and grass in the county. If it weren't for the spontaneous donations of the people in the county, we would have been defeated a long time ago, and the lord would have thought twice! ”
I also calmed down when I heard Xun You say this, I looked at the door and I was a little distracted, and muttered softly: "Is there no way to have more grain and grass?" ”
Hearing my muttering voice, Xun You hurriedly spoke: "We only have one county, how can we get more grain and grass?" "Now Xun You just wants to dispel my idea of recruiting again.
"This... I hesitated, if there is not enough food and grass to recruit soldiers, isn't that looking for death? But how to get grain and grass, I'm also in a hurry, these 30,000 soldiers and horses will leave at least 20,000 in Hanzhong to guard against Liu Yan, and I can only take 10,000 to Luoyang, what's the use? At that time, Dong Zhuoding originally brought a lot of people into Beijing. What to do?
I spun around in place. I just can't think of a good way. So I began to recall how in history the princes were short of food. That's right!
I suddenly thought that Cao Cao was also short of grain in history, but he implemented the tuntian system, and in the end, not only the grain and grass crisis was solved, but also a lot of grain and grass were produced. Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and asked Xun You, "Gongda Ru knows the Tuntian system?" ”
"Tuntian system? I've heard about it. I don't know if the lord wants to be a military tun or a people's tun? "Xun You obviously didn't think of the Tuntian system, and immediately reacted when he saw me say it.
"What is Juntun and what is Mintun?" I only know that in history, Cao Cao implemented the tuntian system because of the lack of grain, and solved the problem of grain and grass at once, but I don't know what the tuntian system is all about.
Xun You seemed to know a lot about the Tuntian system, and when he saw that I didn't understand, he hurriedly began to explain it to me. "Juntun is my soldier's soldier, and in his spare time, he goes to the farmland to do labor, and the grain and grass he grows are all with the government. Mintun is to recruit displaced people, the government gives the fields and farm tools, and the grain grown by the displaced people is divided with the government, as for the geometry of the division, it is determined by the government. ”
"According to Gongda's opinion, should we be in the military tun or the people?" I was a little undecided to ask.
Since he thought of the Tuntian system, Xun You had the answer in an instant. "In my opinion, we should be the people."
"Why?" I'm a little puzzled, in my opinion, the benefits of the military tun are more than the mintun.
"Although the grain and grass of the military tun are all with the government, but the soldiers have been like this for a long time, the combat effectiveness will definitely be low, and it will be unfavorable to the army. However, although Mintun is divided with the displaced people, it can protect the combat strength of the soldiers, which is the best policy! ”
The more Xun You spoke, the more confident he became, and in the end, I was infected by his self-confidence. "Since this is the case, we will implement the Mintun according to the public opinion, and we can also take the young and strong people who are displaced and train them to become a new army."
"The lord is high, you will go now." Saying that, Xun You hurriedly walked out and prepared for the matter of Tuntian.
Ten days later
When I came to the county guard's mansion, I saw Xun Yu handling official business and asked, "I don't know what happened to the matter of Tuntian, and what is going on with Gongda?" ”
Xun You was quite excited to see me coming, "You never thought that this recruitment would be so smooth, tens of thousands of displaced people have been recruited, all of them are working in the fields, and they can solve the shortage of food in Hanzhong when the autumn harvest comes." ”
"Oh? Is this true? "Originally, I thought that it was not easy to recruit displaced people like this, and there was no remuneration, and when the harvest came, it would have to be shared with the government, and I didn't know how much Xun Yu shared.
"How dare you tell the lord, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there are bandits and robbers everywhere, the people are all struggling to make a living, many people are migrating to Yizhou, you only need a piece of paper in Hanzhong, and the people will come to vote."
I'm a little curious, so simple to solve the matter of grain and grass? "Oh? In that case, Gongda will go with me to take a look, okay? ”
"The lord is going? Then go with the lord to see. Xun You smiled and led me to the place of Tuntian.
As far as the eye could see, there was a large field of wasteland, and a large number of people were working in the fields. "Lord, in front of you is the land of Tuntian, which is a large piece of fertile land." Xun You pointed to the large wasteland in front of him and said.
I saw this overgrown field, it really doesn't look like a good field, this grass is almost taller than a person, so it's also called a good field? "This is the land of Tuntian?" I asked, pointing to the field.
"My lord, this is a fertile land, but it has not been planted for a long time, so it seems to be barren." Xun You explained on the side.
I still have to go down and have a look, and understand the thoughts of the people, if the people are forced, it is better not to implement the tuntian system. "Okay, Gongda will go back first, I'll go down and have a look."
"These are all homeless people who don't know the etiquette, so the lord should be careful." Xun You knew my habits, and he didn't stop me, but just told me to be careful.
"Gongda rest assured, I have my own measure." After speaking, he took Liu Da to the field.
"Uncle, where did you come from?" I walked over to an old man and asked softly.
When the old man saw someone asking, he put the hoe on the ground and held the hoe for a while and said, "Go back to my lordship, we are from Qingzhou." ”
Qingzhou? It's a long way off, and I continued, "Oh? Why come to Hanzhong? ”
The old man seemed to be very happy, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "We were rushing to Yizhou, passing through Hanzhong, but we were all quoted by Lord Xun's example, we can fill our stomachs here, why bother to go to Yizhou again." ”
It seems to be voluntary, but you still have to ask how the welfare is, if the welfare is not good, so many people will be in trouble together. "I heard that this tuntian harvests grain and grass, but it is divided with you?"
"That's it! We can divide it into three! As soon as the old man said that, he became even more excited.
"Thirty percent? So low? What is your pleasure about? "I'm very puzzled, Sancheng is still so happy? I remember that the old man of Zhangjia Village said that there are ten taxes and three taxes in Hanzhong County.
When my husband heard my words, his face suddenly changed, and he seemed a little sad when he looked into the distance. "Adults don't know, we can't share thirty percent in Qingzhou."
"Sancheng not?" I'm a little unconvinced, just kidding, what kind of fields are not planted in Sancheng?
"My lord doesn't know, we originally lived in Le'an County, but Le'an County is very hateful, and we need ten taxes and eight taxes! There was no surplus food at home, and the county guard had to rob the army, and there were robbers in the mountains who often came to loot, so we had no way out but to migrate to Yizhou, and my youngest son also starved to death in Qingzhou. The old man said that his little son's eyes were full of tears, and I hurriedly comforted the old man for a while.
No wonder you want to go to Yizhou, no one can live there. When my husband calmed down, I asked again, "Uncle, where should you go after this harvest?" ”
"Adults don't know, we only need to plant one season, and we can enter Hanzhong, and then we can pay ten taxes and three taxes!" The old man actually laughed when he said this, obviously extremely happy.
I nodded, this is fine, and it can be regarded as an explanation for these people.
"In this case, my husband is busy, we still have important matters, so we will no longer bother my husband." After speaking, I took Liu Da back to the county guard's mansion, and I felt a lot of words with my husband today, maybe this big man was forced to perish by the superiors.
"You said that Gongda did okay with this?" I turned my head to look at Liu Da and asked.
"Lord Xun is dedicated to the people, he is really a person who cares about the people, and I am also one of the displaced people. I am well aware of the suffering of the displaced people, and now that the Lord has given them vitality, the people will be grateful to Dade! Liu Da said that he actually left tears, obviously thinking of the hard days before.
Looking at Liu Da and remembering what he said in Zhangjia Village, I was even more determined in my heart, I looked into the distance and said categorically: "I also know the suffering of the people, but with me in Hanzhong, I will not let the people of Hanzhong suffer this again!" ”
"The lord is wise!"
"Okay, let's go back." I laughed and slapped Liu on the head.
"Lord, what is a sycophant? Why sycophant? Liu Da asked suspiciously while rubbing his head.
Hearing Liu Da's question, I couldn't help but smile and said, "The Buddha said that you can't say it, you can't say it!" ”
