Chapter 50: Just a rabble
Yuan Shangyu reported on the inspection of materials.
Yuan Shao was a little puzzled: "The Zhen family sent copper coins, but they procured chickens and ducks from Taiyuan and sent them over?" ”
"Exactly." Yuan Shang replied: "Taiyuan's chickens and ducks, my father wants to requisition, will the fourth brother still refuse?" Isn't this our own money to buy our own things? ”
"Did you ask Zhen Yao, why do you want to buy chickens and ducks in Taiyuan?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Didn't ask." Yuan Shang replied: "I think it should be the fourth brother who asked them to do this. ”
"It's time to make money and make money on your own." Yuan Shao smiled and said to Mrs. Liu: "Look at Xu'er, can he be considered shrewd in this business? ”
"Xu'er has always been eccentric, and the concubine is not surprised to do this kind of thing." Mrs. Liu replied: "It's just to make your own money......"
"What's wrong?" Yuan Shao heard that she still had something to say.
"It's nothing." Mrs. Liu smiled slightly: "The concubine is just a casual talk." ”
Without asking any more questions, Yuan Shao instructed Yuan Shang: "Show me the list of materials." ”
Yuan Shang presented the list with both hands.
After browsing, Yuan Shao said: "Although there are fewer copper coins, there is more food than in previous years, especially chickens and ducks, and the Zhen family is also attentive this year." ”
"There is a lot of food, but there is only a limit." Yuan Shang replied: "The copper coins are not small. ”
Yuan Shao laughed and handed the list back to him: "The officers and soldiers in the army are just eating food, how can their physique be good?" Sending these chickens and ducks followed my thoughts. ”
He stood up and said, "You two are talking, I'll go first." ”
Mrs. Liu and Yuan Shang sent him out.
When he walked away, Mrs. Liu asked Yuan Shang, "Have you seen it?" ”
"See what?" Yuan Shang was at a loss.
"The materials went to Taiyuan first, and when they were sent to Yecheng, there was a difference from previous years." Mrs. Liu asked, "Don't you think it's weird?" ”
"There's something wrong with it, but I can't tell what went wrong." Yuan Shang frowned: "The total number is not much less......"
"That's not what I'm talking about." Mrs. Liu interrupted.
"Mother means ......" Yuan Shang was even more dazed.
"It's your father's attitude." Mrs. Liu replied: "The materials will be sent to Taiyuan first, and Yuan Xu will not pluck the feathers of the geese?" Even if he didn't do that, the chicken and duck were procured with the money that should have been sent to Yecheng. No matter how you calculate it, he reaped the benefits. ”
"What does it have to do with my father's attitude?" Yuan Shang probably understood what she meant, but he still asked.
Mrs. Liu raised her hand and poked him in the head: "Why did I give birth to such a stupid son as you?" Knowing that he has benefited from it, but pretending not to know, your father used to have such a temperament? ”
Yuan Shang asked with some concern, "What should I do then?" “”
"He has always loved you, and he has long had the heart to hand over Hebei to you." Mrs. Liu said: "If there is no Yuan Xu, everything will be logical. Now that he has him, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future. ”
"Mother wants me to ......" Yuan Shang's face changed very badly.
"If you don't get rid of him, do you think there is still a chance to get Hebei?" Mrs. Liu asked.
Yuan Shang was silent......
Of course he wants Hebei, and there is nothing wrong with getting rid of his own brothers.
It's just that he tried his best to win over Yuan Xu earlier, and he also got feedback.
At this time, turning against Yuan Xu is not a waste of all your previous efforts?
He said to Mrs. Liu: "What my mother said, I will take to heart. ”
"What's the use of just keeping it in mind? Shouldn't you do something? Mrs. Liu said: "Don't wait for others to do it, you will regret it." ”
"I don't dare to forget half a word of my mother's teachings." Yuan Shang immediately responded.
Since arriving in Taiyuan, Yuan Xu has devoted most of his energy to people's livelihood, and has relatively little attention to military affairs.
The conscription documents were sent out, and he didn't bother too much.
Zhen Yao sent supplies to Yecheng, and all the copper coins deducted by Yuan Xuke were handed over to Tian Feng to purchase cattle and horses.
Cao Cao was eyeing the tiger, and war could break out at any time.
Yuan Xu felt that it was time for him to go to the barracks to have a look.
Taiyuan is only a county of the state, but it is the state capital, and the scale of the military camp is certainly not small.
Tian Feng was invited, and Yuan Xu went to the barracks accompanied by him.
When they came to Yuanmen, the soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly saluted.
"How many people have come to join the army?" He asked Tian Feng.
"Go back to Gongzi." Tian Feng replied: "There are only thousands of people who have joined the army......
"Why so little?" Yuan Xu was surprised.
"The lack of people in various places, coupled with the defeat of Guandu, many people do not believe that the Yuan family can defeat Cao Cao. So the number of people who joined the army was not large. ”
"There is a lack of generals in the army." Yuan Xu asked again: "Are there any heroes and heroes who come to serve?" ”
Tian Feng shook his head: "No." ”
Yuan Xu nodded silently.
Cao Cao and others have been doing things for many years, and almost all the fierce people who were once in the opposition have voted for a hero, how can any heroes come to vote for him?
Before Guandu, the Yuan family was not without fierce generals.
Practiced Ju Yi who first entered the camp, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Ran in the four court pillars of Hebei......
Even Lu Bu had defected to Yuan Shao two years earlier.
Now that things are not fierce generals, there are few generals in the entire Yuan family.
Demon Yin once said that when the summoning technique reaches the third level, it can summon the dead generals and strategists of this dynasty.
Now his summoning technique has only broken through the second level, and it is still far from reaching the third level.
Marching to fight, without a fierce general to lead the troops, is indeed a trouble.
Yuan Xu came to the barracks, and the newly recruited soldiers ran to the school field to line up.
Looking at the soldiers in the array, he couldn't smile bitterly.
Lack of training, outdated equipment, and a rabble to say they are new recruits.
"Why hasn't the ordnance been replaced?" He asked Tian Feng.
"Childe did make a lot of money, and when he used up seven or eight out of ten to buy livestock, the ordnance of the soldiers was ......."
"Cao Cao will send troops to the Yuan family sooner or later, and when the time comes, he will take such soldiers to kill the enemy?" Yuan Xu said: "In any case, we must arrest the drill and ordnance and equipment. ”
"I will urge." Tian Feng should go down.
"Not to urge, but to do." Yuan Xu said: "With this group of rabble, do you want them to die in battle, and then drive the corpses to fight?" ”
Tian Feng had nothing to say.
He had long seen that the newly recruited soldiers could not be brought into battle at all.
Everything needs money, and many problems are not immediately solvable.
"I'll go to Yanmen." Yuan Xu turned around and left the school: "Gao Gan said that he would go to him if he had something, and now that I am in trouble, he should not find a reason to ignore it." ”
"Childe is going to go in person?" Tian Feng asked.
"What can I do if I don't go in person?" Yuan Xu pouted: "Asking for people and weapons from high-ranking cadres, is there anyone else who can do it?" ”
"Didn't Childe recruit Jiang Gan?" Tian Feng reminded: "Always let him have something to do." ”
"Jiang Gan?" Yuan Xu's eyes lit up: "If he goes, it can really save me this trip." ”
