Winter means slaughter, it means that everything is dormant.

It means that in the midst of turmoil, there will always be many people who die of hunger and cold because of the displaced people.

This is not uncommon in Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Sun Ce, the three largest princely territories in the Han Dynasty, in the Jiangbei region of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, in the area controlled by Liu Beijun, even if Liu Beijun tried all the means of disaster relief, he still could not eliminate this phenomenon.

However, only the areas controlled by Jin Jue's army, the areas near Langzhong County in Ba County, the areas in Guanghan County except for Dajian Pass, and the northern and western regions of Shu County were very different from the rest of the world.

This winter, the whole of Yizhou suffered heavy snowfall, and the roads were completely blocked by the wind and snow.

But whether it is heavy snow or famine, it can't stop Jin Jue from gathering the hearts of the people in the vicinity of Chengdu City step by step, bit by bit.

During the Yaobing operation, Jin Jue had always sent soldiers to nearby villages, distributed notices, and told them to be read out in public.

The content of the notice is also very simple, before the winter snow comes, Jin Jue will hold a large market in the south of the new capital, Jin Juejun allows the people in the villages around Chengdu City to take things to the new capital to trade, Jin Juejun promised to do Tong Suo no deception, autumn no crime.

In view of Jin Juejun's previous actions in the countryside near Chengdu City, many people in Shu County did not believe too much in the notices issued by Jin Juejun, and Jin Jue's own prestige and credibility were not enough to make the people of Shu County trust him.

The small landlords, rich peasants, and ordinary people who consciously survived this winter by storing grain at home will naturally choose to nest at home and face the cat winter, rather than risk going to the new capital to participate in some bullshit bazaar.

Who knows if the lame boy wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rob the people who were attending the bazaar?

But for those poor families who urgently need to sell their goods and prepare food and firewood for their families in winter, Jin Jue's notice is tantamount to fairy sound.

Even if the bazaar held in the new capital city is a sea of fire, it is an opportunity for the people who have difficulty supporting their families. Jin Juejun's behavior caused Chengdu City to close all the city gates, and those people outside the city who had been relying on selling things in Chengdu City to support their families had been cut off from their income for several days. Seeing that the first snow of winter is coming, can they not be in a hurry?

And the more shrewd people can see that there is a mystery and two benefits in Jin Juejun's notice, Jin Jue placed the market in the south of the new capital, not in the city.

The mystery is outside the city.

First, it gives the people time and space to flee.

If Jin Jue really used this to rob the people who came to trade goods, or even the people themselves, after all, Jin Jue's army used the land to recruit soldiers before, and now the vast majority of people in the entire Shu County know about it. It's better to move inside the city, but outside the city, it gives many people the possibility of escaping.

The second advantage is that by holding a market outside the city, both the people and the merchants involved in the trade can save a large part of their expenses.

In ancient times, in some places, both merchants and ordinary people had to pay a gate tax when they entered the city. This tax money is not a small expense for large and medium-sized businessmen, and for the common people who go to the city to sell things, it is even more picking at the grain in their mouths.

So, before the market began, there were many merchants and poor people who took the goods in their hands and went directly to the camp of Jin Juejun and started trading with Jin Juejun.

At this time, Jin Jue's economic strength is not strong, and all the wealth of Yizhou is gathered in Chengdu, so he will not be stupid enough to use money to win the hearts of the people at this time.

Therefore, anyone who comes to the barracks and wants to trade with Jin Jue's army, Jin Jue will not meet their requirements one by one.

Jin Jue sent people to screen them first, and the people who came to the barracks to trade, the commodities that were not needed in the barracks were all purchased at market prices, such as grain, and the commodities needed in the barracks, such as vegetables, eggs or meat, the price that Jin Juejun bought was only one penny higher than the market price.

As for the merchants, the goods needed in the barracks were all at market prices. Trade according to the grade of the commodity.

And for those small and medium-sized merchants who sell goods that don't need goods in the barracks, I'm sorry, please pull them to the new capital city and sell them yourself!

Jin Jue's so-called fair trade is like this.

Don't forget, this is a military camp, not a bazaar, even if the generals and soldiers in Chengdu City all shrank their eggs and did not dare to go out of the city to fight with Jin Jue's army, but Jin Jue has always kept a cool head, so that every general in the army is in a state of caution and vigilance.

In this regard, the guards who came out of Jin Jue's side knew best.

Therefore, in the process of showing off the army, all the generals in the army tightened the strings.

Even after Lu Bu found out, he couldn't help but sigh to Cheng Lian: "Cheng Lian, this kid seems to be born to fight, you see, the Shu soldiers in the city have been timid to this extent, and he can still continue to keep his subordinates vigilant." If Ben Hou had this kind of caution like him in the past, no, if he was one-tenth of his care, he would not have been repeatedly defeated by Cao Cao. ”

After listening to this, Cheng Lian only laughed stupidly a few times on the surface, and responded a few times. But he said in his heart, among your subordinates, Wenhou, there are actually many generals who also have such abilities, such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. At this point, even Gongzi, an outsider, can see it more clearly than Wen Hou himself, but what about you, Wen Hou? He has never trusted them, but has trusted his fellow villagers and relatives.

It was precisely because Jin Jue said good things about Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in front of Lu Bu that Cheng Lian and Li Feng had the idea of leaving Lu Bu.

In Lu Bu's opinion, it was a strange thing, but for the generals and scholars in Jin Jue's army who had been following Jin Jue for a period of time, they were accustomed to Jin Jue's ability.

As for Jin Jue himself, despising all enemies strategically and attaching importance to all enemies tactically, these two sentences are the words that he has been warning himself in his heart after he traveled into this time and space.

In war, any negligence is likely to lead to defeat and death.

That's how Pang Tong died.

Completely different from what others think, Jin Jue has never felt that he is a genius who is born to fight, and he is nothing more than a thousand years of information and knowledge compared with the talents of this era.

If it weren't for the early days of Jin Jue's army, when the strength was too weak, the troops were too few, and the generals under him were too few, Jin Jue would not have repeatedly used the method of surprise attacks to conquer cities, and once this way of fighting failed, the loss would be very large.
