The tenth round: open the warehouse and release the grain

After Gao Yun returned to Lixian, he still couldn't let go of what happened in the Su family, in order not to let himself have time to think about these troubles, Gao Yun took out his one-word tungsten steel knife, and practiced in the yard every day from morning to night.

In the blink of an eye, the twentieth day of the lunar month passed, and the county magistrate Liu Xu felt that everything that should be done had been done, and it was not interesting to stay here. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Liu Xu wanted to deliver it early so that he could go home for the holidays.

Gao Yun was originally afraid of long nights and dreams, and since Liu Xu had this meaning, Gao Yun was naturally happy to agree. He took Sun Bin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and twelve personal retinues to the county government to take over.

Liu Xu kept his word this time, and after Sun Bin inspected the granary, he reported to Gao Yun that the coarse and fine rice grain in the warehouse was 150,000 hundred, only a lot more. Gao Yun was naturally very happy when he heard this, and immediately gave Liu Xu another twenty gold, which was also to prevent Liu Xu from being bad in the last ten days.

After Liu Xu left, Gao Yun completely took over the county government of Lixian County, and there were a total of 500 soldiers stationed in the county office, and more than 100 of them worked with the government. Except for a few people with large grievances who were disposed of by Gao Yun on the spot, the rest still returned to their original posts.

Gao Yun also appointed Sun Bin as the master, the prime minister of the county government, reviewed the previous files, and found that the suspected and unjust cases were immediately retried; Zhang Fei was appointed as the commander of the army, and the soldiers stationed in the county government were rectified.

It is said that Gao Shun should be more suitable for the whole training of soldiers and horses, but the guards in these county offices are different from other soldiers. Because no one has been controlling them for many years, most of them have become idle ruffians. Gao Yun felt that in order to change their habits, the first thing they needed was not Gao Shun's strictness, but Zhang Fei's deterrence and majesty.

After arranging these things, Gao Yun issued his first list of documents, announcing: "On the same day, the warehouse will be opened and the grain will be released, and according to the population within the jurisdiction of the county, regardless of men, women, and children, each person can receive half a piece of fine grain, one piece of coarse grain, and fifty wen of money." In addition, the whole county was ordered to not allow any landlord to force any landlord to ask for money and rent grain before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and once the violator was discovered, he would be punished ten times the amount of money and grain he had sought."

As soon as this list was posted, the whole county became a sensation, and villagers from near and far took to the streets one after another, spreading the word to each other, and the streets and alleys were crowded, each holding a grain bag, and happily went to the county government to receive relief money and grain.

The county has a total population of more than 18,000 people, and according to Gao Yun's notice, a total of more than 27,000 pieces of coarse and fine grain, that is, more than 700,000 catties, will be distributed, and nearly 1 million yuan will be distributed.

Since he wants to recruit troops and horses, it is impossible for Gao Yun not to know the importance of money and food, so why did he do this. In fact, Gao Yun really didn't have any other purpose this time, his only idea was to let these toiling people have a comfortable Spring Festival. He felt that this was his duty as a county magistrate.

Although Gao Yun took this for granted, these people in the county didn't think so, for them, this was unprecedented, a great favor, and something that their ancestors had not enjoyed for generations.

This means that they don't have to hide in Tibet to avoid creditors, they don't have to worry about running out of rice on Chinese New Year's Eve, and they can even hope to pull a foot of flower cloth for their little girl and buy a brand new pair of tiger head shoes for their young son in the New Year.

These are the things they have hoped for every year, but they have not fulfilled every year. Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, they have already erased these thoughts in their hearts. But they didn't expect that this newly appointed county magistrate made them suddenly realize their long-term wish on the verge of despair, how could this not make them grateful to Dade.

These people did not leave immediately after receiving the money and food, but gathered at the gate of the county office, and they wanted to thank Gao Yun in person for the new county order.

"We want to see Tall Man! We're going to see the big man! Seventy or eighty-year-old people and seven or eighteen-year-old children shouted at the door.

Gao Yun was looking through the files in the county office, discussing money and food rations with Sun Bin, when he suddenly heard a shout outside the door, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly ran out of the county office.

"Tall, sir!" Some people who knew Gao Yun knelt down and kowtowed first, and those who didn't know him immediately knelt down, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord Gao, for your kindness!" ”

Seeing this scene, Gao Yun's eyes moistened, not because he was moved, but because he was sad. He couldn't imagine that his little favor would make these people grateful like this, and he can imagine how miserable these people's lives are.

"Folks, get up, get up, I, Gao Yun, a junior, don't dare to accept such a big gift from the folks. I am here today to assure you that from this year onwards, as long as I Gao Yun is the county order, every year on the twentieth day of the lunar month, it will be the day to open a warehouse and release relief! ”

Gao Yun spoke in a sonorous and high-pitched tone, more like he was swearing an oath, thinking about this cannibalistic world, his heart was full of grief and indignation.

Hearing Gao Yun's words, the people were even more moved, and even many people cried bitterly on the spot.

Sun Bin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and those officials behind him were all amazed when they saw this scene. They had never seen a county magistrate receive such support, and at the same time, they also developed a sense of pride in being Gao Yun's subordinate.

Gao Yun's reputation has been established since then, and in the hearts of the people of the county, Gao Yun is their blue sky, and he is the Bodhisattva who came to save them from suffering.

Just when everyone was immersed in the shock, Sun Bin was already thinking about another thing. Back in the county hall, Sun Bin said to Gao Yun: "Lord, look at today's situation, the people of the county are already grateful to the lord, and his subordinates think that this is an excellent time for the lord to recruit soldiers, and I don't know what the lord plans to do."

Gao Yun nodded, "Well, what Mr. said is very right, but I still don't want to disturb the villagers for the New Year, so let's wait until the Lantern Festival is over."

Although Gao Yun did not fully adopt Sun Bin's suggestion, he recognized his talent even more. Gao Yun felt that it was very commendable that Sun Bin could make such an orderly analysis at such a crowded moment.

was disturbed like this, Gao Yun didn't have the heart to check the case file anymore, leaving Zhang Fei to sit in the county government, and he took Sun Bin and Guan Yu back to Gaofu.

As soon as he entered the house, the housekeeper greeted him and said that the Su Mansion of Zhuo County had sent someone to bring a message, so that Gao Yun could prepare early and set off on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Gao Yun counted the days, there was still more than half a month, and there was still plenty of time to prepare. According to Su Shuang, it will take two or three months to go, and now it is the Spring Festival of 182 AD, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion will break out in another year and two months, which is very urgent for Gao Yun's plan. Therefore, although others are not at home, the preparations in the county must not stop.

And the most urgent of these is to smelt fine iron and forge weapons, Gao Yun knows that the quality of an army's equipment is an important factor affecting combat effectiveness, so Gao Yun used his knowledge to measure the current conditions, and decided to use the carbonization heat treatment process, which is often called "stuffy steel", in fact, this is Gao Yun's main intention to make crucibles.

Although this technology has appeared in modern times, it is still very difficult for equipment of this period. Moreover, this process is already very cumbersome, and it needs to be quenched and tempered after carburizing, which undoubtedly greatly lengthens the forging time.

So Gao Yun decided to let Sun Bin fully master this technique before leaving. In this way, even if he is not there, Sun Bin can lead the blacksmith to keep forging weapons.

So he said to Sun Bin: "Mr. Furen, after I came back from Zhuo County, how did I explain a few things to you?" ”

"Oh, the production of the repeater and the round shield is quite smooth, but the smelting of the iron ingots is a little slow, because the weather is cold and the furnace temperature is not easy to grasp, so the output is not very high."

"Well, there's no way around it, but we're pressed for time, and even if it's cold, we can only overcome it. How many of these things have been produced? ”

"Back to the lord, there are more than 1,000 crossbows and nearly 3,000 round shields, but they haven't dried up yet, and the iron ingots are less than 1,000 catties."

This production speed has exceeded Gao Yun's expectations, and he can't help but be a little worried about the quality.

"It's already very good, Mr. Trouble will take a few of each and I'll take a look."

"Yes". Sun Bin agreed, turned around and went to the warehouse.

It didn't take much effort, so Sun Bin took two entourages who carried samples into the front hall.

After Gao Yun looked at them one by one, he was convinced of Sun Bin. With such simple conditions, there can be such a high yield, and the quality is also ideal, which shows that Sun Bin has worked very hard.

Gao Yun knew that Sun Bin was working hard, and he felt a little unbearable, but the next thing had to rely on his talent, so he had to say: "Although I know that Mr. Furen has worked very hard during this time, but as the saying goes: 'Those who can work hard', after I leave, there is another very important thing, I have to rely on Mr., and I hope that Mr. will not complain that I Gao Yun is unkind." Mr. has worked hard and made great achievements, and I Gao Yun will remember it in my heart."

In fact, in Sun Bin's heart, the more Gao Yun assigned him tasks, the happier he became. Because he felt that this was not only Gao Yun's trust in him, but also an opportunity for him to repay Gao Yun.

Now seeing that the lord still pities himself like this, his heart is even more moved, and he hurriedly said: "The lord is serious, Sun Bin has no way to repay the lord's great kindness, and the lord has something to order, even if Sun Bin is broken."

Sun Bin's hard-working behavior made Gao Yun feel admired, he stood up and pressed his hand on Sun Bin's shoulder, "It's good to have you by my side."

It was these few words that Sun Bin cried, he was glad that he had such a husband who valued love and righteousness, a lord who could die willingly for him.

First, Sun Bin was smart, and secondly, Gao Yunjiao was careful, and it only took three days for Sun Bin to completely master this skill. Gao Yun saw that Sun Bin had already learned, so he asked him to recruit skilled blacksmiths from all over the world and start forging weapons.

If these things are properly arranged, it will already be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. This "thinking of relatives every festival", Gao Yun inevitably felt a little melancholy and sadness in his heart. Fortunately, he still has these brothers and a virtuous wife.

"Come on", Gao Yun called two soldiers who were on duty.

"You go, tell the master, the second master, and the third master, and let them put down everything they are doing and come back for the New Year. In addition, tell the housekeeper to divide the staff up and down the house into six shifts, from today to the fifth day of the new year, leave one shift on duty every day, and the rest go home on vacation, and the wages will be paid as usual. The one on duty is paid three times the wage".

"Pay for the holidays? When the value is still tripled? This is something that I have never heard of, and the two of them were stunned for a long time before they reacted, and ran out again and again.
