Chapter 51: Ziyi
After listening to what Lu Fan said, Sun Ce immediately felt a basin of cold water poured down, pouring out the enthusiasm just now.
Yes, no matter how beautiful the vision outlined by Zhang Zhao, if there are no seeds, no ploughing cattle, and no farm tools, the most important thing is that if there is not enough food to feed these 100,000 strong men and more than 200,000 old and young women and children until the early summer of next year, then everything will not be discussed, so does the Jiangdong Army have food now? The answer is no.
Yes, a batch of grain will arrive in a few days, and the quantity is quite a lot, 50,000 stones.
However, these 50,000 stone grain is military food, and then the Jiangdong Army will attack Lujiang, especially to wipe out the Yuan family, how can it be done without military food?
In the face of Lu Fan's questioning, Zhang Zhao was not in a hurry, and said to Sun Ce: "This is the second point to be said next, the number of cattle, farm tools, and seeds needed to cultivate tens of thousands of acres of land is huge, and it is far from enough to rely on the power of the government alone, so in addition to replacing food with work, it also needs to be supplemented by the method of exchanging grain for land." ”
"Grain for land?" Sun Ce said, "How to change the law? ”
Zhang Zhao explained: "General, the four counties of Jiangdong have always been rich, and the families, scholars, and large families have quite a lot of money and grain in their hands, as well as surplus seeds, farm tools, and cattle, and the general may issue an edict to sell the newly built lake fields at half the market price, provided that the buyers must buy them at the price of seeds, farm tools, and cattle. ”
Sun Ce's eyes lit up again, and he clapped his hands and shouted: "This method is wonderful, this method is wonderful!" ”
Since the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Central Plains, the princes of various places have risen up one after another, attacking and killing each other, and the common people can not survive, so they have fled to escape the war, and most of them have fled to Jingxiang and the four counties of Jiangdong.
Among the common people who fled south, there is no lack of family scholars, after these family families fled to Jingxiang and Jiangdong, it is inevitable that they will buy industries, which leads to the shortage of land in Jingxiang and Jiangdong.
If the government sells the fields at half the market price, buyers will inevitably be enthusiastic.
Moreover, Sun Ce knew that these big families in Jiangdong had money and grain, and if a little leakage from their fingers, the seeds, farm tools, and farming cattle of the thousands of hectares of lake fields on Chaohu Lake were all found.
Sun Ce looked at Zhang Zhao with burning eyes, and said loudly: "Mr. Zibu, I want to go to the imperial court, and Mr. Biao is the captain of Huainan County, but I don't know what Mr. wants?" ”
Zhang Zhao got up and shook himself to the ground, and replied loudly: "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, took Zhang Zhao's hand and said: "A certain Zibu is the Gao Emperor's Xiao He Ye!" ”
Sun Ce is really arrogant, he directly compares himself to Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, and his ambition to be the emperor is obvious, so it is no wonder that he wants to recapture the jade seal after fighting his life.
Zhang Zhao said to Sun Ce again: "Lord, in fact, there is another benefit to enclosing the lake and making fields. ”
"But so-and-so knows." Sun Ce interrupted Zhang Zhao, and then continued, "After the lake field is built, a certain can be sold to the scholars of Lujiang at a low price, so as to curry favor with the Lujiang scholars and make people obey my Jiangdong Sun clan." ”
"The Lord is a wise man." Zhang Zhao took a long look, knelt down and sat back on the table without speaking.
Sun Ce said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I actually have to thank Yuan Shu, if it weren't for Yuan Shu's perverse actions, driving away all the families and scholars along the Chaohu Lake, and displacing hundreds of thousands of people in Huainan, how could I get thousands of acres of fertile land for nothing?" If it weren't for these thousands of hectares of fertile land, how could a certain person be able to collect the hearts of the scholars of the six counties in Jiangdong? ”
Zhang Zhao nodded and said: "The way to control chaos has been like this since ancient times. ”
"Speaking of Yuan Shu......" Sun Ce turned his gaze to Zhou Yu and said, "Gongjin, calculate the time, the scouts sent out should almost have news back?" I don't know if Yuan Xiao'er will go south to Lujiang. ”
Zhou Yu said firmly: "Don't worry, Bo Fu, it is expected that Yuan Xiao'er will definitely go south." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jia Hua hurriedly entered, and reported: "My lord, the scout cavalry sent to Runan has returned, and the remnants of the Yuan clan have entered the Lujiang River from Yangquan. ”
"Good!" Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this.
Yuan No'er finally came.
(Dividing Line)
Sun Ce was in a good mood, but Yuan Nuo's mood was not very good.
The reason is that Yuan Wei was deflated by Tai Shici again.
Tai Shi Ci's injury is more serious than Sun Ce, but because Hua Tuo, the holy hand in medicine, Tai Shi Ci's recovery is a few points faster than Sun Ce, Sun Ce can only lie down, and he is very reluctant to sit up, but Tai Shi Ci can already sit up, Hua Tuo also said that in half a month, Tai Shi Ci will be able to go to the ground.
This means that there is not much time left for Yuan No.
Once Tai Shi Ci healed from his injuries, he would inevitably choose to leave.
Yuan threatened to save his life, and perhaps Tai Shici could be left temporarily.
But if you can't make Tai Shi Ci sincerely surrender, it is meaningless to do so, because Tai Shi Ci will have to leave sooner or later, so it is better to follow Cao Cao's strong man and break his wrist, and simply let Tai Shi Ci go, in this way, when he sees him on the battlefield in the future, maybe he can continue to have a period of incense.
But then again, until the last moment, Yuan Wei will not give up.
So in the past few days, Yuan Wei has come to Tai Shici as soon as he has the opportunity.
It's a pity that Yuan Wei finished saying all the words he could think of, and he felt tired when he said that he was tired, but Tai Shici never had the idea of changing his ways.
Just now, Yuan Wei even showed his last trump card.
Yuan No's last trump card is the wolf pack tactics of the Mongol cavalry!
Yuan asked Tai Shici: "The general must know about the wolf, right?" ”
Tai Shici chuckled and said: "Childe said that he was joking, not only did he know about wolves, but he also shot wolves with his own hands. ”
Yuan Wei said again: "So, I want to ask, how much does the general know about beasts like wolves?" ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "Isn't the wolf just a beast, carnivorous and too coarse, so why bother to understand it?" ”
"The general is wrong." Yuan Wei waved his hand and said, "The wolf is a beast, alert, suspicious, and good at running, but the most intimidating thing about it is that it has super endurance, tenacious temperament, and strict discipline among wolves. ”
Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly, and said in a weak tone: "The son is well-read and knowledgeable, and he admires it very much." ”
Yuan Wei didn't care, and then said: "I heard that there is a big country of 10,000 miles in the extreme west, and its king is called Temujin, and Temujin formed a cavalry according to the habits of the wolves, this cavalry has the same strict discipline as the wolves, and has the same perseverance and endurance as the wolves. ”
Tai Shi Ci was slightly moved, and then immediately questioned: "Is there really a territory in the world that far exceeds my empire of the Han Dynasty?" ”
Yuan said: "The empire established by Temujin and his descendants took a year to travel from east to west, and the general thought that its territory was compared to the Han Empire. ”
Tai Shi Ci said solemnly: "If this is the case, the territory of its empire is only far superior to that of my Han Dynasty. ”
Yuan Wei said: "No matter how strong the empire is, there will eventually be a time of decline, as early as a few hundred years ago, the empire founded by Temujin has collapsed, however, the cavalry tactics created by Temujin have not disappeared, and spread across the sea to the Han Dynasty, the general has always commanded the cavalry to gallop the desert as a long-cherished wish, don't you want to see the essence of Temujin's cavalry tactics?" ”
Tai Shi Ci's eyes immediately revealed a fanatical color, as a military general, and is still a cavalry general with the ambition of commanding the cavalry to gallop across the desert, Tai Shi Ci has a natural thirst for cavalry tactics, but unfortunately, the tactics of cavalry combat in the military books left by the soldiers of the previous dynasty are rarely recorded.
As for the military book dedicated to cavalry tactics, there is not even one.
However, now, Yuan Wei told him that there really is such a military book in the world that specializes in introducing cavalry tactics!
Tai Shi Ci's eyes showed a look of fanaticism, and asked Yuan if he said, "Childe, is there really a Temujin cavalry tactic in the world?" ”
Yuan didn't answer, just turned around and snapped his fingers, and Xiao Ruoliu walked into the tent with a large bundle of books.
Tai Shi Ci didn't wait for Xiao Ruoliu to put down the book, so he couldn't wait to pick up a volume from it, and after unfolding it, he saw that the title of the booklet was written "Temujin Cavalry Tactics" Seven Silk Xiu's official books.
This so-called "Temujin cavalry tactics" was written by Yuan Nuo for more than a dozen nights, dictated by him, and then written by Xiao Ruo Durian, Yuan Nuo in his previous life was a history buff, he had read a lot of illiterate, and he also had a considerable understanding of the wolf pack tactics of the Mongolian cavalry, and the dictation was just a piece of cake.
After Tai Shici finished reading a volume, he no longer had the slightest doubt about this military book in his heart.
Although in real history, the Mongol cavalry would not appear until more than a thousand years later, some things are the same, and Tai Shici, as a cavalry general who had a lot of experience in cavalry combat, could see at a glance that the army's combat discipline, communication methods, and array layout recorded in this "Temujin Cavalry Tactics" have their own uniqueness.
However, when Tai Shi Ci picked up the second volume, he couldn't help but didn't open it, but reluctantly put the book back on the wooden basin, and then said to Yuan Wei: "How can it be easy to show people such a heavy canon, but Gongzi is sloppy." ”
Tai Shici's love gave Yuan Fu great psychological satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, from now on, this military book is yours, you can read it if you want to, if you don't want to read it, throw it away, burn it, it's all your business." ”
"Is Childe serious?" Because of the excitement, Tai Shi Ci didn't even notice that Yuan Nuo changed his words to be commensurate with words, but then again, with today's gift of books, Tai Shi Ci and Yuan Nuo can indeed be said to be friends, and between friends, isn't it natural to be commensurate with words?
