The new metropolis set is really over after the first snow in Yizhou.

However, before that, except for Li Hui and Li Chao, a native of Yunxian, the other Yizhou scholars who had met with Fu Gan and others in the teahouse had all left before Jin Jue's army returned to the new capital.

Li Chao is the young man whose childhood sweetheart was sold by his parents to Jin Jue's temporary mansion in the new capital.

What should be seen is that these Yizhou scholars have already seen it, and the unexpected joy is that they happened to know some of Jin Jue's political ideas from Yang Pei's mouth.

Yang Pei's words are not wrong, many things will not be known until next year.

There are really not many people like Li Hui who dare to bet on Jin Jue now.

For these Yizhou scholars, they don't necessarily have to be people who send charcoal in the snow, they believe that if Jin Jue really has to take the entire Yizhou, they still need them, Yizhou scholars, to control Yizhou for him.

But for Jin Jue to come, it doesn't matter if there are them or not, since he dares to train the emperor, how can he not train scholars?

……

The influence of the Xindu market is constantly expanding, but unfortunately, the market is too short to open, so that some people whose homes are far away from Xindu County have just gotten the news, and when they want to set off, they encountered the first heavy snow after the winter of the second year of Jian'an.

When Jin Jue opened this market, he made it very clear that when it snows, it is when the market is closed. As a result, people who received the news late had to return home empty-handed.

However, the people around the new capital still bought what they needed from Jin Juejun - winter food and well salt that would not starve their whole family to death.

Of course, Jin Jue will not let the people buy unlimited food from him, if he dares to let go and the grain stock is sold out, where will the military food needed by the army come from?

The shop supervised by the dynasty in the market is the only shop that Jin Juejun is open to the people of Yizhou to sell grain and well salt.

There are also three special provisions in the shop:

1. Each person can only buy 100 catties of brown rice or flour at a time.

The grain sold by Jin Jue's army was roughly processed, and the rice husks and bran left behind could be used to raise war horses.

Moreover, from this time on, Jin Jue began to promulgate the balance in the new weights and measures, that is, weight and volume.

The Western Han Dynasty weighs 3.5-4 grams, while the Eastern Han Dynasty weighs about 3-3.5 grams.

When Jin Jue minted money in the future, he decided to take it, that is, 3.5 grams of money.

It was also from this time that the Kim weights and measures appeared for the first time in the Han Dynasty.

The details are as follows:

5 baht = 1 money,

10 money = 1 tael,

10 taels = 1 catty,

10 catties = 1 jun,

10 Jun = 1 stone,

According to the algorithm of the Han Dynasty, one stone = 46,080 baht, that is, the weight of 9,600 standard five-baht coins, and if according to the algorithm newly promulgated by Jin Jue, one stone = 50,000 baht, which is exactly the weight of 10,000 five-baht coins.

The gauge can be rebuilt according to the degree.

One stone of the measuring instrument is the same as one stone of the degree, that is to say, in the future, under the rule of Jin Jue, one stone of grain is just equal to 100 catties.

In this way, it must be very inconvenient for the common people at the beginning, and the weights and measures that have been used for hundreds of years have changed suddenly, which will naturally cause great trouble in the hearts of the people.

However, there is no doubt about the superiority of the decimal system, if Jin Jue publishes the Arabic numerals, the four operations and the ninety-nine multiplication formula, I believe that the entire Yizhou people will soon discover the advantages.

However, judging from the current situation, many people are not optimistic about Jin Jue's approach.

Except for Qin Shi Huang, after the founding of the Han Dynasty, except for the abolition of the Qin Dynasty' as a unit of degrees, there were very few changes to weights and measures. Jin Jue is so whimsical that he wants to use his own strength to promote the new 'degree' and 'quantity' in Yizhou, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

When selling food, Jin Jue specially selected a few soldiers from the scouts in the army who were very good at memorizing human faces and placed them in the market.

They found a place to hide among the people in the market on their own, and secretly investigated the people who were in line to buy grain, and there were many ordinary people who wanted to buy grain many times or spies sent by the local families in Yizhou, and wanted to use the method of buying grain many times to buy more grain from Jin Jue.

Jin Jue specially explained that the people who queued up for the second time can be let go, but if someone queues up for the third time, then these soldiers who were specially selected by Jin Jue will not hesitate to find out all the people in the team who have bought food twice, beat them up, and confiscated all the money and food, and the other ordinary people are all honest.

Because, the common people were shocked to find that none of those who were found out to have bought grain by luck were wronged.

This incident once again cast a layer of mystery on Jin Jue, and his reputation is now more and more evil by the people of Yizhou in the entire land of Bashu.

From the winter of the second year of Jian'an to the spring of the third year of Jian'an, Yizhou finally calmed down.

However, on the Central Plains side, as soon as the spring of the third year of Jian'an began, the conquest between the princes began.

In March, Cao Cao marched south again, this time targeting Zhang Xiujun, who had been vacillating between Cao Cao and Liu Biao.

Cao Cao personally led a large army and besieged Zhang Xiu's base in Sui County.

Cao's army was strong, Zhang Xiu's soldiers were few, so he could only choose to hold on to the city, and Cao's army besieged the city for a long time, but it was never able to take it.

In May, Liu Biao reacted. While he sent troops to assist Gan Ning in rescuing Zhang Xiu, he also sent his general Cai Mao to lead his troops to set off from his road and make a detour from the border of Nanyang County, preparing to cut off Cao's army's retreat from behind.

At this time, Yuan Shaobing surrendered to Cao Cao, and reported that Yuan Shao secretly discussed with the strategist Tian Feng and other strategists, preparing to send troops to attack Xudu.

Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat in a hurry.

Zhang Xiu immediately led the army in pursuit.

At this time, Cao Cao had Liu Biao's army in front of him to block the way back, and Zhang Xiu's pursuers in the back, and the enemy was attacked before and after, and the situation was extremely critical.

Therefore, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered the sergeants to dig tunnels overnight, pass through the dangerous obstacles guarded by Liu Biao's army, and let the baggage in the army withdraw to Xudu first, while he himself led the elite soldiers in the army to ambush behind.

After dawn, Zhang Xiujun and Liu Biaojun thought that Cao Cao had retreated with all their troops, so they tried their best to chase after them.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to ambush his troops, attacked on foot and cavalry, and defeated the pursuing army.

After repelling the two armies, Cao Cao retreated to Xudu safely.

In fact, in the process of pursuing Cao Jun, Jia Xu once dissuaded Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu did not listen, so he suffered this defeat.

However, after Zhang Xiu's defeat in the army, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to immediately send troops to pursue Cao Cao again.
