"Hey, hey, the fish is hooked!"

Yan Xing was wearing a mink fur at this time, fishing on the edge of the Fenshui where the ice floe was broken, and when he saw the float swaying up and down, he laughed, got up and put away the rod, and a crucian carp the size of a palm was collected into the fish bag beside him.

In this winter, the heavy snow has stopped for two days. Now the busy farming season in Linfen and Jiangyi has also come to an end, and the wheat sown in autumn has been moistened by ice and snow after entering the winter, and the growth is good.

After inspecting the growth of the wheat in Tuntian and the situation of the households in Tuntian, Yan Shi temporarily made up his mind to go to the Fenshui to break the ice and fish, Yan Xing knew that he was a person with leisure and leisure, and immediately ordered a group of troops to turn the original direction back to the city and come to the nearest section of the riverbank.

In winter, there were only a few people who had such a leisurely way to fish the river and snow, so Yan Xing did not let all the staff members brave the cold to come to the river to fish, most of them stayed in a house built for Tuntian not far away, and Yan Xing accompanied Yan Shi to the river to fish.

Yan Xing's guards chiseled and cleared the ice floe near the river early, and then re-wrapped the felt and scattered it to the surrounding area not far away, so as not to disturb Yan Xing and Yan Shi's temporary fishing Yaxing.

"Originally, I thought that the captain was good at fighting and fighting, and was not good at farming, but I didn't expect that the captain couldn't help but understand farming, and this fish was also good at fishing."

Although the climate was bitterly cold, Master Yan still got up with his hands and feet to collect the rod and put the fish into his fish bag, he heard Yan Xing's happy words, and a smile bloomed on his face that had already shown a ravine, and he said what he thought in his heart.

Yan Xing did find a big change when he met him for the first time at the Oxtail Gathering. At that time, Yan Xing, although after the defeat, was still aggressive, and once the momentum was ignited, the anger on his body immediately rose, for which Yan Shi also implicitly warned him.

And now, Yan Xing has gotten rid of the predicament when he was defeated and fled, with strong troops in his hands and running Hedong, his strength is also thriving, but at this time, Yan Xing is not as sharp as he was when he first met, but his edge is slowly restrained.

These changes, even Yan Xing himself, may not be able to feel them all. He himself was in the Liangzhou coalition army, in the prisoner camp, and under the command of Xu Rong, and he was worn out a lot of edges and corners, but his sharp spirit was not seriously bruised, so he condensed a serious and resolute temperament, which changed, and Yan Shi could see it more clearly than Yan Xing himself.

But right now, Yan Xing didn't want to lead the topic of fishing to his own body, he smiled calmly, looked at Master Yan, and said:

"Actually, Yan may not be a person who is good at fishing, but this fishing and fighting are also similar, so they just have a little gain."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Yan Shi also looked at Yan Xing, he was also a little curious, what is the similarity between fishing and military warfare that Yan Xing said, could it be that the fishing rod in their hands can also be turned into a spear to assassinate the enemy on the battlefield.

After Yan Xing put on the bait, he put the rod again, he looked at his fishing rod, looked at the buoy and began to say slowly:

"This military struggle, in the final analysis, is nothing more than two words, 'counting' and 'cheating'. By accurately calculating the strength of the enemy's forces and the direction of their movements, we will be able to dispatch our troops and deal with them calmly, and if we succeed in deceiving the eyes and ears of the enemy, we will be able to avoid the real and attack the weak, and defeat the strong with the weak. ”

"The same is true for fishing, this section of water is open and the water is gentle, which is originally the place where the fish gather that we have calculated, and deception is to show that it can not be used, and it is not used to show it, obviously to eat its meat, but to smear the bait on the hook."

"And after doing both well, all I need is some patience and luck to wait for the moment when the fish takes the bait."

After listening to Yan Xing's remarks, Yan Shi's eyes were full of brilliance, he had learned a lot of things, compatible with Confucianism, law, and Taoism, and when he heard about Yan Xing's general formation, it was easily linked to fishing, and he did feel the same way in his heart, which was exactly in line with the Taoist tenet of "the road to simplicity".

Turning back to the river in front of him, although Yan Shi had been busy with the farming of Tuntian, he also keenly felt that in terms of military affairs, Yan Xing seemed to be secretly preparing for a large-scale use of troops.

"Patience, I believe that the captain must have it, but I don't know if the luck that the captain wants has arrived?"

The corners of Yan Xing's mouth were slightly hooked.

"Wait!"

The art of fixing the country lies in strengthening the army and having enough food, and the men and horses under Yan Xing have experienced many battles and have been sharpened into an elite army of soldiers and horses. And the arrival of Master Yan also made the shortcomings of sufficient food begin to be slowly filled.

In the final analysis, the tuntian system of Jiangyi and Linfen is to unify and integrate the land resources of the two places, and then forcibly resettle those displaced people who have lost their fields in these tuntian points, so that they can resume production and continuously supply grain and cloth to the two places, so as to expand the situation to all industries on this basis, and finally realize the scene of prosperity of all industries.

In the past year or so, Yan Xing and others have been doing these things, and now the foundation has been consolidated, and the ditch water conservancy is also in full swing in the two places, and more importantly, under the overall planning and leadership of Yan Shi, who holds the title of a classic agricultural history, a group of Tuntian officials and a complete system have appeared.

This means that after Yan Xing recovers the northeast border of Hedong in the future, he can fully replicate this set of models, so that the cities and towns in the northeast of Hedong can truly be transformed into an important territory for Yan Xing's camp to continuously provide food and money for soldiers.

Therefore, in this farming season, Yan Xing still maintained contact with Ganling in Anyi, Li Ru in Chang'an, Yang Feng in Pingyang, Jia Kui in Jiangyi, and Pei Jia in Wenxi, so as to make early intelligence preparations for the war in the spring.

Now the situation in Kanto, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan's battle for Jizhou has just begun, in addition, the forces of the two sides are facing each other in Qingzhou and other places, and Yuan Shu and Liu Biao's battle for Jingzhou has already entered the white heat, but Yuan Shu has lost Sun Jian, a fierce general, the offensive has shown fatigue, and the situation has gradually become a tug-of-war.

In addition to these two camps, there are Cao Cao, Lu Yi, Zhu Jun, Liu Bei and other figures who have sprung up in the Central Plains, plus the Southern Xiongnu, the Black Mountain Army, and the Yellow Turban Army that are wandering and harassing, and the heroes of Kwantung Prefecture and County attack each other, and they have no time to care about the land of Sanhe and Guanzhong in a short period of time.

In the land of Guanzhong, after Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, in order to consolidate his authority, he traveled in a Qinggai Jinhua car, and also called three Shangshu to his mansion to perform affairs, and rewarded the Dong family in a big way, so that his family members flooded the court inside and outside.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo's power was expanding day by day, the undercurrents in the court were surging even more turbulent, and finally caused a thrilling case of Wu Fu's assassination of Dong.

This assassination case involved a wide range of people, He Hao and Xun Yu in the court were imprisoned, and Zheng Tai, the speaker of the court, fled to Yuan Shu. But Dong Zhuo, who was assassinated, did not intend to stop there, and under the internal and external setbacks, his temperament has become more and more violent.

Dong Zhuo then showed his thunderous methods, killing Zhang Wen, forcing to death Huangfu Gui's widow, booby-trapping the rebel soldiers in the north, and killing some of the old Guanzhong clans, using the way he is most familiar with to shock people's hearts, making the government and the opposition both inside and outside the country silent.

Then, the ambitious Dong Zhuo moved to the newly built Hewu, looted a large amount of property to enrich the Hewu, and stored grain for 30 years, claiming to sit and watch the success or failure of the world, and firmly control the operation of the Chang'an court on the other hand.

Therefore, when Dong Zhuo learned that his former sworn enemy Sun Jian had been killed in battle, and the Kwantung Prefecture was attacking each other again, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed on the plan to attack the Kanto Prefecture on a large scale in the spring of the next year.

The dispatch of soldiers and horses has also been sent to Anyi, Hedong.

This kind of situation in which the east and west sides are too busy to take care of themselves is undoubtedly like a fish in water for Yan Xing, who runs Hedong, and can do whatever he wants.

However, there was one more thing that Yan Xing needed to worry about.

"Master Yan, now that the affairs of Jiangyi and Linfen Tuntian have achieved initial results, and all industries in the two places are waiting to be developed, don't let the small money newly minted by Chang'an ruin this hard-won situation."

Yan Xing looked at Yan Shi and said, Yan Shi heard about Chang'an's small money, and also spoke.

"Recently, in the market of Linfen, there is indeed a lot of small money pouring in, which has increased a lot more than in the past, although it is not easy to prohibit it explicitly, but the county temple has issued a document, stipulating that in the city and military and government-related transactions, all are settled in rice and cloth, and the people also know in their hearts, those small money cannot be circulated on the surface, and naturally it cannot be ruined."

Yan Xing heard Master Yan's countermeasures, thought about it, and nodded.

At present, many cities in Hedong are still under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an Imperial Court after all, and it is not possible to blatantly abolish the newly minted small money in Chang'an, but now Jiangyi and Linfen are waiting for a hundred industries, and the transactions in the market are still bartered to occupy the majority, and the method of the strict division is to use the government decree to consolidate the barter transaction method, so as to achieve the purpose of restricting the circulation of small money in Chang'an.

In fact, in the case of the prestige of the central court plummeting and the inability to control the local coinage, it is inevitable that the heroes of the various parts of the country will use the coinage money to collect money, this kind of thing, the former Han Dynasty's Gongsun Shu has done, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan will also do it in the future, and even among the people, there are some lawbreakers who take advantage of this opportunity to mint private money to collect money and make profits.

According to the law of bad money driving out good money, there will be less and less Han five baht on the market, and the market will be full of these shoddy and inferior coins. At this time, if we are not able to adopt strong measures to crack down on lawbreakers and restrict the circulation of such bad coins, then regressing to the barter transaction mode can be regarded as a compromise response.

After all, bartering will be the main way of trading in the following troubled decades. However, if you simply blame the regression of this barter transaction method on Dong Zhuo, who minted small money, it will be a little shallow.

Currency, the kind of circulation, originally needs to be built on the basis of abundant social material production, which can be used to communicate with each other, imagine that the world is in chaos, the cities and countryside are all in ruins, farmers are not allowed to plow, peasant women are not allowed to weave, at this time the currency has lost its original role, regardless of whether there is Dong Zhuo's small money, the way of bartering will appear in this turbulent troubled times, and form the mainstream, until the day when the troubled times end.

After thinking about this, Yan Xing also agreed with the feasibility of Yan Shi's countermeasures, and Yan Xing also had confidence in Yan Shi's ability to coordinate within his means.

Therefore, Yan Xing turned his gaze back to the deep and unknown river, at this time his buoy was floating up and down, Yan Xing could even feel a strong pull on the fishing rod, he focused on the river, and began to retract the rod in his hand.

Big fish, already hooked.
