――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――If you want to plunder the population of Liangdi, food is necessary, otherwise, you deceived so many people in Liangdi to come, and in the end let them starve to death in the wilderness, wouldn't that be evil?
When Xiang Zhuang asked him, "Ziyi, this year's summer grain has been harvested, right?" ”
Xiang He said: "As early as more than half a month ago, the summer grain had been harvested. After saying this, Xiang reminded Xiang Zhuang again, "But the king, since the beginning of the previous year, my Dachu's tax has been changed to gold coins, and no longer collects grain, and it will not be levied until after autumn, so even if the summer grain is generally harvested, Taicang will not get half a grain of grain." ”
Nowadays, the industry and commerce of Chu have been extremely developed, with the development of industry and commerce, with the prosperity of industry and commerce, it has become possible for Chu to collect gold coins in a unified manner, of course, at this stage, it is still limited to the five counties of Jiangdong, and the six counties of Bashu and Jingxiang that have just been incorporated into the Chu State are impossible to replace the tax in kind with gold coins in a short period of time.
The advantage of replacing taxes in kind with gold coins is that the loss of intermediate links is greatly reduced, because if the grain is collected directly, it not only requires a large number of carriages and horses to ship, but also requires a large amount of labor, which also needs to eat and consume food. The disadvantage is that from now on, there are only gold coins in the treasury, and if the country needs food, it has to use gold coins to buy it from the people.
"This widow knows that as long as the people have food in their hands." Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, with Mrs. Qin, a red-capped businessman, are you still afraid that you won't be able to buy the surplus grain in the hands of the people? Mrs. Qin is the heir to the mantle of the widow Qing, with her business acumen, coupled with the power of the Qin family, within half a month, there will be a steady stream of grain from Bashu to Ziling.
At that moment, Xiang Zhuang said again: "You don't have to worry about food, you still have to think about it, how to plunder people, right?" ”
Xiang He said: "This is not difficult, just send people into Liangdi to spread the news, the people of Liangdi are almost cut off now, as long as there is something to eat, they will definitely be willing to come." ”
"Okay, then I'll leave that to you." Xiang Zhuang nodded happily.
After everyone dispersed, Xiang Zhuang summoned Qu Bucai out again, and advised: "Old Qu, let your people keep an eye on Xianyang and Luoyang, no matter whether there is a major incident or not, you must report to the widow every day." ”
"Whoa!" Qu Bucai bowed down and took the order.

When Xiang Zhuang was calculating to plunder the population from Liangdi, Han Xin's army had already arrived at Chengqiu, which was still more than 100 miles away from Dingtao, but Zhao Yan had already taken Shen Tujia and was waiting on the side of the road.
"Zhao Yan, the widow has heard of you." Han Xin turned over and dismounted and helped Zhao Yan up.
"I'm ashamed." Zhao Yan looked stunned, his current identity is still Liang Chen after all.
In order to alleviate this embarrassing atmosphere, Lou Jing behind Han Xin said with a smile: "As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord to do things, King Liang is tyrannical, honest is not the master, it can be said that it is wise to abandon Liang and return to Qi." ”
Han Xin smiled and said, "Zijin, from now on, you will be a widow's military advisor. ”
Zhao Yan said abruptly: "I also hope that the King of Qi can treat the people of Liangdi well, and I am very lucky." ..., Han Xin held Zhao Yan's right hand and said as he walked: "From now on, the people of Liangdi are the people of my Daqi, the people of the widows, and the widows should be treated kindly." After that, Han Xin's gaze swept over the face of Shen Tu Jia, who was standing solemnly behind Zhao Yan, and asked, "This must be the Shen Tu General of the Yong Champion Three Armies, right?" ”
Shen Tujia hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully: "The last general, Shen Tujia, see King Qi." ”
"Good, good." Seeing Shen Tujia's majestic posture and calm expression, Han Xin couldn't help but nod approvingly, and said, "Qing is still the captain of the Great Qi Guardian Military Academy, specializing in protecting the safety of the military division. ”
Zhao Yan took the map, unfolded it with the help of Shen Tujia, and then said to Han Xin: "King, this is the map of the seventy-two counties of the five counties of Liangdi. ”
Han Xin took the map with both hands, and his heart couldn't help but be a little agitated, the thirty-six counties of Qin, he Han Xin had already obtained the ten counties of Jibei, Linzi, Jiaodong, Langxie, Xue, Chen, Dong, Dang, Yingchuan, and Nanyang, and there was one of three out of three counties in the world! As long as you destroy Zhao State, Yan State and South Korea again, you can get fifteen more counties, and the world is almost under control.
Zhao Yan sighed and said, "King, the situation in Liangdi is not optimistic. ”
Zhao Yan knows very well that Han Xin is now on the rise, and it is indeed a bit unfortunate to tell him this, but the situation in Liangdi is indeed not optimistic, and Zhao Yan also wants to see if Han Xin really pretends to be the people, if Han Xin is also a tyrant like Peng Yue, and he doesn't care about the life and death of the people, then it is better to rest.
"Oh?" Han Xin frowned slightly and said, "Tell the widow." ”
Zhao Yan nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Liang Di is under the rule of Peng Yue, Yao Servitude and Tian Fu are extremely heavy, and the people are already very poor, this expedition to Jingxiang, the 100,000 army has harmed Liang Di all over the place, nearly half of the people have run out of overnight food, if you don't want to find a way to give help, Liang Di will definitely break out a large-scale famine." ”
Han Xin's expression also became serious, and he asked, "Zijin, according to your estimates, how much food do you need?" ”
Zhao Yan said: "There are more than 1.8 million people in the five counties and 72 counties of Liangdi, and at least 800,000 people are short of food. "500,000 stone grain feeds 800,000 people, even if you only boil gruel, it can only last for three months, which is already the minimum.
Han Xin frowned suddenly, there are still 500,000 stone grain in Linzi Taicang, but it is military food, and it must not be used without authorization, and the grain stored in Taicang cannot be moved, so the grain is collected from the hands of the people of Qidi? Obviously, it won't work, Wang Ling and Lou Jing will definitely not agree, and Han Xin himself is unwilling.
So, where should we go to raise these 500,000 stone grain?
Next to him, Lou Jing suddenly gently tugged at the corner of Han Xin's clothes and said, "King, Zhao has grain." ”
Han Xin woke up like a dream, and said to Zhao Yan at the moment: "Zijin, the matter of food is handed over to the widow, but it also takes time for the widow to raise food, as little as ten days, as much as half a month, the first batch of grain can be transported, during this time, I have to trouble you to take care of the widow for one or two, at least not let the situation in Liangdi get out of control." ”
Zhao Yan bowed his hand and said solemnly: "The minister should do his best." ”

Ziling, Ling Yin Mansion.
More than 200 Taixue students have been gathered, and Xiang He is giving them a lecture.
Nowadays, the national examination of Chu has been formalized, determined to be once every three years, the examination subjects are still eight subjects, and those who pass all eight subjects will be awarded the lowest-level dukedom, and then enter Taixue to continue their studies.
A screen was placed in the hall, and a map of Liang was hung on the screen.
Xiang He pointed to the map and said: "According to the information provided by Wumuya, there are about more than 1.8 million people in the Liang Kingdom, and at least 800,000 people have been sacked by the Liang army, and the target of your lobbying is these 800,000 people, and you will be divided into 20 small teams to go to the most severely affected counties and counties respectively, and persuade the people there to flee south and return to Chu!" After a pause, Xiang He said again: "Ben Ling Yin doesn't expect you to be able to bring back all the 800,000 people affected by the disaster, but you have to bring back at least 300,000 people to Ben Ling Yin, especially women, children and strong men, the more the better, do you hear clearly?" ”
"Hear me clearly!" More than 200 students responded with a bang.
Xiang Zhuang said: "Okay, then let's prepare to go." ”

In Pengcheng, there is another person who is also calculating to get some benefits from the Liang Kingdom, and this person is the Minister of Huainan Kingdom.
Kui Che has never relaxed his attention to the surrounding situation, since the Liang King Peng Yue raised troops, the spies of Huainan State have constantly sent the latest news back to Pengcheng, and learned that Peng Yue's army was defeated by Lu Yeze, and the 100,000 army was annihilated, Kui Che was also taken aback, but in addition to being surprised, he also knew that the opportunity for Huainan to get involved in Liangdi had arrived.
However, the next development of the situation was once again beyond Quicher's expectations.
Xiang Zhuang sealed the king's order, and forced Zhou Bo's 200,000 army back to Wancheng, this time, Kuaiche's wishful thinking fell through, he originally pointed out that the Han army would fight with the Qi army in Liangdi, and when the Han and Qi armies were both defeated, the Huainan army would clean up the mess, so that the five counties of Liangdi could be obtained without much effort!
But now, the Han army has retreated back to Wancheng, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Qi army will have the land alone.
The land could not be seized, so Kui Che wondered if he would plunder some people from Liang Land?
However, Yingbu, the king of Huainan, did not seem to have much interest in plundering the population of Liangdi.
"King, what is the root of a country? It's the population! Kui Che patiently explained, "If the population is large, the field is more, the strong men are more, the army is more, and if the king wants to dominate the world, he needs more money and food, more troops, and more population, and now is a good opportunity to plunder the population of Liangdi, which must not be missed." ”
Yingbu shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "Forget about this, it's not appropriate to make enemies with the Qi State right now." ”
Kui Che was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged in his heart, since Yingbu was captured and put back by Han Xin last time, he didn't trust Kui Che very much, in fact, Kui Che was quite good, the general Zhao Zhen wanted to take advantage of Yingbu's capture to help the prince take the throne, but he was directly killed by Yingbu casually found an excuse, and even the prince was deposed.
Out of the palace, Kui Che couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, now the heart of the king of Huainan has changed greatly, he is addicted to wine every day, and he only trusts the villain, Huainan has no hope.
Thinking about the situation of Qi now, Kuai Che couldn't help but feel more and more sad, remembering that when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting, Kuai Che had persuaded Han Xin to let him support the army and respect himself, and Chu Han was in a three-legged situation, at that time, Han Xin rejected Kuai Che and blatantly sent 300,000 troops to help Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu under the wall.
However, times have changed, and the situation that Kuaicher hoped for back then has become true today.
After Han Xin won the five counties of Liangdi, he and Guanzhong Liu Bang and Jiangdong Xiangzhuang faintly became a three-legged situation, and the Chu State is now busy digesting and absorbing Jingxiang Bashu, Liu Bang will also be busy cleaning up the internal hidden dangers, Han Xin can just free up his hands to clean up the Zhao State, Yan State and South Korea in Hebei, just wait for Han Xin to destroy Han Zhaoyan, and the world will really become a full momentum.
