7. Liantun to govern the army food
"Master, tomorrow, please follow this Confucius and go to the south of the state city to inspect." After nightfall, in the monk's house of Alanta Temple, before the oil lamp, Gao Yue asked Ming Xuan.
"What Gao Kongmu said is true, south of the state city to the Purun and Linyou places of Fengxiang Mansion, there are Jingchuan and Daxi rivers passing by, forming a fertile wilderness, which is the second suitable place for Juntun." Ming Xuan clasped his hands and said.
Ming Xuan next entertained Gao Yue for dinner, the ebony food table was on the table, it was a bowl of thick green bean porridge, mixed with barley, red bean paste and sugar syrup, Gao Yue snapped and ate in one breath, only felt that the fragrance and beauty, the internal organs were reconciled, and the fatigue of the day was also emptied, and then Ming Xuan entertained a pot of soup, opened the lid, and found that it was pear water soup, and drank it all up, and even said in his heart that on this early summer night, eating porridge and drinking pear water is really happy.
On the Buddhist hall outside, after the Anxi soldiers respectfully worship the Buddha statue, they sit in the courtyard under the corridor, eat corn porridge respectively, and then borrow some firewood from the grass courtyard of the temple to make a fire, sit around the fire, I don't know who pulled out a bamboo flute, whining, the sound is like turning cold, as if there is the sound of the old garden.
At this moment, in the houses of Confucius Academy in Jingzhou City, Yun Shao also seemed to hear some music, so he put down the chess pieces on the backgammon chessboard, pulled up the roller blinds, and looked into the distance through the window by the moon, only to see that in the southwest corner of Waiguo, there were several houses and buildings, and the lights were bright, "Is it the music camp in Jingyuan?" Yun Shao said unconsciously.
Zhi Hui, who was standing behind her, nodded, and the sound of the flute really came from the music camp.
Yun Shao couldn't help but feel pathos: I was in Weizhou like Songqing, and my parents were far away in Jincheng, Xichuan, but now because I married Songqing, I came to Jingzhou in the west with him, and my life is really drifting! These prostitutes in the camp have all left their hometowns and come here to survive.
"Zhihui, where are you from, and where are your parents' graves?"
After asking this sentence, Yun Shao turned around, only to see Zhi Hui smiling sadly and shaking her head, meaning that she didn't know how to answer the master's question at all.
In the monk's house of Alanta Temple, hearing the flute of the soldiers, Gao Yue and Ming Xuan both got up in their clothes, walked out, Gao Yue who stood on the temple rock looked down from below, and the modern society he was in was brilliantly different, the mountains and rivers of the whole Jingzhou, a piece of inky vastness, it was really a huge mountain ravine, the long wind was thousands of miles, only the state city and the distant Lianyun Castle, there was still some faint firelight, Gechuan was like Bai Lian, meandering through.
"Out of Luronse in the east,
Haoran is lonely.
Pavilion Thousands of Miles,
The Han soldiers are still prepared.
The border is full of dust,
Captives rode south of Juda.
Turning the bucket is not a long strategy,
and relatives are not far from the picture......"
In this situation, Ming Xuan couldn't help but recite the poem, Gao Yue could understand that what this monk was talking about was his ancestor Gao Shi in this era made "Plug Shang", presumably that Gao Shi was also constantly tossing and turning in the dust of war in the northwest, right?
Through today's variety, it seems that this old monk Ming Xuan is not a layman.
Gao Yue asked Ming Xuan where he was from, and the answer he got was from Xizhou, "Now most of Hexi and Longyou are encroached upon by Xifan, and only a small number of Tang troops are still alone. Ming Xuan sighed.
To serve the Buddha, what more hometown do you need?
At this time, Gao Yue couldn't help but think of the former prime minister Yuan Zai who was killed, who had served as the assassin of Xizhou, his strategy of building the city of Yuanzhou and restoring the west of the Longyou River, which he had analyzed in detail before Zhongjinshi, and Yuanzhou happened to be west of Jingzhou, so Gao Yue couldn't help but spread out the "Palm Story Map" given by Duan Xiushi on the floor of the monk's house, and studied it carefully with a candle flame the size of a bean......
In the next few days, Gao Yue rode a horse, took a group of sweaty officials, and the monk Mingxuan who volunteered to act as a guide, from Liangyuan and Duyuan in the southwest of Jingzhou, to Baili City in the middle, and then to Baishiyuan and Quail Plain, where Lingtai County is located.
Two days later, Duan Xiushi saw Gao Yue, who had been tanned, and asked him what he had done about his trip.
Gao Yue pulled the "Palm Story" in front of Duan Xiushi's knees, and then pointed to the Baiquan north of Gechuan and Lianyunbao, and followed him to the Gonghu Lake in the north of the state city, and said, "Under the Jiexia, you can first open 800 hectares of military tun in Baiquan and Gongchi Lake, and if you succeed this year, you can open 3,000 hectares of military tun in Liangyuan in the coming year, and then open another 3,000 hectares in Baishiyuan and Quail Yaoyuan - Baiquan has its own spring, which will never dry up, and Liangyuan Juntun can be irrigated with Jingchuan water, and Baishiyuan can be irrigated by Daxi River, effortlessly." Once the military tun is completed, after three years, the Jingyuan camp can accumulate 300,000 stones, so that the soldiers have more than enough food, and then they can play to the imperial court, expand the quota of 7,000 battalions of field soldiers, and recruit all the battalion soldiers to stay and cultivate, and the Juntun athletes can go out to conquer Pan Yuan first, and then unite with the Shuofang army to overcome Yuanzhou. Once Yuanzhou is overcome, you can connect Jingyuan, Fengxiang, Shuofang three armies as the vanguard, Hedong, Hezhong soldiers refused, and Xifan a battle, the recovery of Longyou, Hexi, since then Tang Tu can be full of the beauty of Jinou, Jingzhao then has no trouble with the door. ”
"What about the efficiency of Tuntian, and what can Yisong get?"
"Under the festival, the servant has calculated clearly, Kaijuntun does not plant rice, only grows millet, wheat, millet, this year to open a hundred springs and 800 hectares of fertile land, only need to charge five buckets per mu, you can collect 40,000 stones of grain, these 40,000 stones can be directly returned to the Jingzhou warehouse, do not bother with the cost of farming, there is no difficulty in re-losing-so that the price of rice and feet can save more than 100,000 yuan."
"But there are costs for military personnel, grain seeds, and cattle."
"The military personnel are all athletes who have received food and clothing from the imperial court, and there is no need for additional expenses; Grain is about five liters per acre, and the cost of 800 hectares is only 5,000 yuan; There are also cultivated cattle, with one hectare and fifty acres (one hundred and fifty acres) with a bullock, eight hundred hectares need a total of five hundred and forty head of bullocks, and now you can buy cattle from the land of Fengxiang and Pizhou, each cow is worth about four thousand yuan, a total of two or three thousand yuan, and the bullock can be used for twelve years, and the annual cost is only three hundred and thirty yuan. There are also plows, hoes, sickles, treadmills and other utensils, the total cost is only 5,000 yuan, and can be used for more than ten years - so calculated, if in the Baiquan military tun, the cost is less than 15,000 yuan, compared with the income of the military tun, it can be said that a book is ten profits. ”
Hearing this, Duan Xiushi couldn't help but nodded, then stretched out his hand and implored Gao Yue to talk about the specific regulations of Tuntian.
"Under the festival, now the salt warehouse is exposed outside the city and is vulnerable to enemy attacks, and the defeat of the west salt warehouse in Mazhen in the past is a lesson. Nowadays, the salt warehouse, the armor warehouse, the granary, and the stable can be built in the four corners of the city, and each of them can be defended by military platforms. Then expand the beacon shop, city walls and soldiers of Lianyunbao, as long as Lianyunbao is protected, after Xifan crosses the bluestone ridge, every move is under our control, which can be described as Jingzhou Confucius. And Baiquan to 50 hectares for a tun, a total of 16 tun, all under the care of Lianyunbao, every four tun gather a fort, build a fort altogether, steam sand, erect a tower, a fort about 20 (20 days) can be built, each fort and then immediately paved, beacon trench, out of the farmland, into can be self-protection. It can also be in the horse valley leading to Changwu City, in the grass wall of Tongfengxiang to set up beacons, according to Shuofang, Longyou two military offices as the backup, the enemy to raise the police, why not fight? ”
"Hmm!" Duan Xiushi was rarely excited.
