Bai Liyan said at length, Han Qi didn't plan to listen carefully, but he was a farmer, he was originally an honest farmer, he had a deep-rooted plot for the land, and drove him like a devil, and finally listened to it and pinched his fingers, Bai Liyan's promise was too good, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Han Qi asked unintentionally:

"Deputy marshal, you're not lying, how can there be such a good thing in the world."

"Does Ben Shuai seem to be lying to you? Let me ask you, how many acres of land you ploughed before you waited, how much rice you can harvest in a year, how much you can get, and how much you can hand over to the government. ”

"Well...... Before, we were all lowly farmers who farmed for Guan Yuanhou, and with my father and younger siblings, we had to get seven or eight stones of millet a year of exhaustion, but we had to feed five people, otherwise where could we. ”

"One stone in Sun Country is more than one stone in my Xian Country, so calculated, you are planting about one acre of three stone of fertile land, if there is no ploughing cattle, with your family of four men, women and children to do work, at most seventeen or eighteen acres will be cultivated, but in the end you only get seven or eight stones of grain, about ten stones of my Xianguo, but you only get about 20 percent of the rice, eighty percent of the tax, this is to force you to die."

As if to say something sad, Han Qi sighed and said:

"Who says it isn't, if there is a living meal, who would want to."

"If you and others submit to our army, the acres of land obtained are all fat, and the lowest yield per mu in Botian is two stones of rice harvest, and there are four stones of fertile fields.

Last year, our Xianguo already had five stone fertile fields per mu, about four stones and five stones in Sun Guo, and as long as they have the ability, whoever works more will get more. After paying the taxes, after deducting the self-kept rations, the excess rice and grain can also be sold to the officials for silver or cloth, vegetable oil, candles, and livestock, which is far better than you and others who are doing evil here. ”

"Yes...... There is no such good thing in the world. Four stones of fertile land, ten acres of land can not be plowed, the deputy marshal is not happy with it. ”

"I Xianguo's new type of farming and fertilizer method has been implemented for more than 10 years, and now there are very few thin fields below two stones, as long as you are diligent, you can get at least two stones, two stones and five, and the fertile fields can easily produce three stones, and four stones only need to be careful. If it is an excellent high-quality field, five stones are possible.

If you are lucky, you can rent a leased field of five stones, and when there is no war, the maximum tax is only 50 percent, and you can get 2 stones and 5 stones, and only these two acres of excellent high-quality land can feed more than one person. This matter has been carried out in our Xianguo for more than ten years, and everyone in our army knows about it.

Our Xian army now has more than 400,000 troops, more than 100,000 conscripts, 230,000 people, more than 100,000 horses and donkeys, and all they eat is grain and grass. ”

"So, it's all true?"

"Tong Suo is not bullied, it is naturally true. Ben Shuai has said everything he should say, and the silver can be given to you immediately. Jiang Jie! ”

"The last general!"

"Take General Han and his subordinates to the camp for dinner first, and the silver will be delivered later."

"No!"

Jiang Jie took two steps forward and came to Han Qi:

"General Han, please!"

Han Qizheng was thoughtful, and his spirit was suddenly lifted when he heard the news:

"Oh, it's worked, it's worked......"

After Han Qi left, Gu Zhong said in a thick voice:

"The deputy marshal, they are all outlaws, and they have to say more about these thieves."

"What should be said is still to be said, the opportunity is given, and how to go is their business. Besides, I don't think this person is a traitor, he used to be some peasants, and in order to eat, he pulled his brothers in the village. The real hateful are the black turban bandits and the local magnates, who exploit the peasants too much. Eighty percent of the tax is levied on one acre of land, so that the people can still live.

Mr. Zhao, do you think what Han Qi said is true or false? ”

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are true, judging from the current situation, there are not many soldiers and horses in the counties west of the Sishui River, this soldiers and horses should be under the command of the Chitose Heavenly King, but 50,000 soldiers and horses are elite soldiers or weak soldiers, we don't know. If it is 50,000 elite soldiers, the situation will be very tricky.

In the previous Gongliang Xiu's words, most of the Gongliang clan expected that Chitose would draw troops north, so they came to lobby our army to give them a chance to defeat Chitose. Judging by this, Chitose should have 50,000 elite soldiers transferred north.

In this way, Chitose turned to the defense in the name of a decisive battle in the south, dragging on without fighting. Gongliang's family must have set a trap for this move. ”

"Well, Mr. is reasonable, but I always feel that there is something wrong with Han Qi. But if it is a fraudulent surrender, what he says is too detailed, and the rebels are not worried that our army will design a countermeasure against them? ”

"Then what is Master Hou worried about?" Zhao Anling asked.

"Mr. Zhao, you see, from Xingcheng to Lintai, you must go east through Zhaocheng, our army camp is now south of Zhaocheng, and you can go north at any time to cut off the road to Zhaocheng to the east, and it can only fight with our army here.

If Han Qi surrenders by fraud, the strength of the Black Turban and the time of reinforcement are well known to our army, and our army only needs to build a blockage on the road to the east, and the rebels will be blocked here, and dragging it is not beneficial to them.

Once Xu Jin and Xiao Qu withdrew their soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Lintai, even if the supernatural powers converged with Shen Duchi, our army avoided and did not fight, and they could do nothing. The longer the time drags on, the faster the morale of its army will collapse, and when the northern front and the Changsun Kingdom fight for both sides, the Gongliang army will gain more or less on the southern front.

Therefore, if Han Qiru surrenders by fraud, the Black Turban Army will not be profitable, but if he does not surrender by fraud, I always feel that Han Qi's surrender is too strange. ”

"But you can't trust all the things that defect, Han Qi is coming to surrender, and the Hou Ye can treat it as a fraud, so there must be a trick in the city defenders."

"It's kind of funny when you say that, sir."

Zhao Anling suggested that no matter whether it is true or false, it should be negated, which is not only a fraudulent surrender, but also has an ulterior motive.

Or use Han Qi to convey wrong news to the Xian army, so that the Xian army misjudges and makes a strategic move that is beneficial to the defenders of Zhaocheng, or disrupts the public opinion.

Of course, it can also be a wedge into the Xian army, providing some real information in exchange for a certain amount of trust, and at the same time secretly contacting the rebels.

However, under the strict system of the Xian army, Han Qi did not have the opportunity to continue to maintain contact with the rebels. Of course, unless the rebels wishfully believe that the Xian army, like the other princely armies, is still an old-style army under the traditional military system, and mistakenly think that there is still an opportunity to take advantage of it.

At this time, the camp was dividing the rice, Han Qi and the others were walking and watching, looking around, the salty soldiers and soldiers came and went frequently, the white rice like a mountain in the bowl was buckled with pickled meat and pickles, the meat was full of aroma, and it was only called a flow of mouth.

Han Qi couldn't help but ask Jiang Jie:

"This general, you Xianjun eat white rice every meal, and you have meat to eat every meal."

"No, if there is no war when stationed in the country, in the morning there is an egg per person for salty cakes, gruel, and soy milk, two pieces of light cakes and two taels of meat per person at noon, and three dishes for one meal in the evening, and half a pound of meat per person every five days, and another pound of meat at the end of each month.

In wartime, as long as it can be supplied, three pies and a bowl of gruel in the morning, three pies at noon, white rice in the evening, and one meal of meat in three days, or pork or chicken, duck and mutton, half a catty per person. If there was wine and meat before the war, there would be not only wine and meat if you won the war, but also reward.

Today is the time for you to wait for the meat. ”

Jiang Jie told the truth, but Han Qi, who listened to it, was stunned, no matter what, he didn't believe that Xianjun could eat one meal of meat in three days.

"Oh...... In a military position like a general, there must be a lot of land at home. ”

"No, Xianguo is not allowed to occupy land now, nor does it appreciate land, even if there are rich people and dignitaries, they can only rent and not buy. If the leased land is not planted, the government will take it back. If there is a subsistence allowance that has not been planted for two consecutive years, it must be lent to the government and leased to others. ”

"So, what your lieutenant marshal said is true?"

Jiang Jie glanced back and said:

"Of course it's true, can it be fake?"

"The grain grown is kept by yourself, can the government have such a good thing, where does your military food come from?"

"The grain yield of Xianguo is high, and the fertile fields of three and four stones are everywhere, even if only three percent of the grain is levied, it is enough to eat. The rich grain in the hands of the common people could be sold to the government in exchange for cloth, oil, lamp oil, candles, salt, and in some places even sugar and livestock.

The government has its own workshops and livestock farms, which can make hundreds of goods, and as long as the people have surplus food in their hands, they can buy it at a reasonable price or exchange it for other items. ”

Agriculture is the lowest of the three major industries, and it is also the most important basic industry, especially the agricultural civilization.

Yongxing City produced almost all the necessities of life and industrial products that could be produced under the current technical conditions, and activated the enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain by improving agricultural planting and manure accumulation, opening up and lowering taxes, reforming land ownership, and at the same time the government controlled the upstream industries of industry and commerce.

The government produces daily necessities on an industrial scale, exchanging grain from the peasants at reasonable prices, and at the same time spending money to buy them by market means.

In this way, while not increasing the burden on the peasants, the state treasury will not only not reduce the grain but will also benefit from the intensive production of light industrial products and daily necessities in exchange for grain at a lower cost.

In addition, the monopoly of resources for trade and specialty commodities has supplemented a large number of external resources, further reducing domestic pressures.

A large number of government-run intensive poultry and livestock farms provide a steady stream of meat products, avoiding the loss of funds for indirect procurement of non-staple food from the private sector.

Of course, poultry and livestock farming requires a ration, but the fertilizer produced by livestock is also a significant income every year.

When he was young, he brought the group to the meal distribution point, and there was not much left in the team to eat, Jiang Jie rushed into the gang to find the gang leader:

"Old Wangtou, add three hundred and twenty-five servings of rice, remember to add half a catty of meat to each serving."

Lao Wang glared back and scolded:

"Whoever has made a great contribution and added half a catty of meat is not afraid of eating crooked mouths."

"Whoa!" Jiang Jie pointed at Han Qiren and the others and continued: "I just came from Zhaocheng, and the deputy marshal ordered that each person add half a catty of meat today, and after tomorrow, it will be the same." ”

"The people who just defected ate ate so well, and there are more people who defected in the future, what are we going to eat."

"Okay, the deputy marshal told us to do it, and we will eat it up."

"Okay, let them come and get their meal."

After agreeing with the old king, Jiang Jie found Han Qi:

"Let's go and get some food, and then I'll arrange a tent for you and others."

"There's really a Brother Lao."

With the word thank you on his lips, Han Qi had another thought in his heart.
