Shi Xun picked up the shelf again, in fact, because he couldn't understand Cao Cao's expression, so he planned to burn the stove a little more vigorously, so he could continue to stir-fry. Sure enough, Cao Cao was about to kowtow again, but Xun hurriedly stopped him, and then he put his thoughts together-
"Mr. Xi's worries are not without cause, millions of yellow turbans, 300,000 households, at the moment is expected to run out of food, just in winter, there is no way to eat, even if they are given wasteland to cultivate, there is a lack of farm tools, lack of seeds, and even the food for the winter can not be found, it is easy to rebel again......"
Cao Cao was no longer cautious, and nodded again and again: "How to deal with it?" Shi Xun replied: "In the fourth year of Emperor Xiaowu's Yuanzhen, he once issued an order to Tuntian, does Cao Gong still remember?" Cao Cao suddenly heard this: "What does Mr. mean is that millions of yellow scarves can be gathered in Tuntian to fund the military?" β
Shi Xun smiled slightly: "Emperor Xiaowu is a military tun, and now he can hold both the people's tun and the military tun at the same time." Select the ones that can be used in the yellow scarf, make it a military cantonment, cultivate when busy, train when idle, and get 100,000 elite soldiers in one year, and there is no shortage of food. Then make the rest of the people, the official family loan seeds, farm tools, and even cattle, and the obtained rations and seeds for the next year can be retained, and more than 50% of the output can be entered into the government. In this way, there are three benefits: first, to get soldiers, second, to get food, and third, to use the army to remediate, concentrate on reclamation, and send people to supervise and monitor, which can also make it difficult for them to gather and become thieves. In this way, in three years and five years, the people can be turned into normal households, and at that time, Yanzhou had a flourishing household registration and fertile fields, isn't it a good foundation for Cao Gong to regain the power of the people and re-secure the world? β
Cao Cao was able to dominate Northern China, in fact, a big reason was Tuntian. But Tuntian was not done at the beginning, in the original history, after the surrender of one million yellow turbans, he left 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and the rest of the yellow turbans rushed home to farm, but because of the lack of farm tools and seeds, the harvest was not very good at the beginning. Later, he attacked Xuzhou and Lu Bu, but they all stopped fighting, why, because there was not enough food to eat. It wasn't until four years later that Zao only offered the policy of Tuntian, so he and Ren Jun were sent to be in charge of this matter, and agricultural officials were also set up in various places, and the military and Mintun were promoted at the same time, and a bumper harvest was obtained in the first year, and Yuan Shu was driven out of Yuzhou and rushed to Huainan in one go.
Now that it was Xun who had come up with the strategy of Tuntian in advance, Cao Cao and Xi Xian glanced at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal irrepressible surprise. Cao Cao grabbed Shi Xun's hand and shook it again and again: "Mr. is really a talent!" But there's still something I don't know, and I want to ask Mr. β
"Cao Gong doesn't have to be like this, just call it a certain name," it was Xun Xin who said that there was a big loophole in my strategy, which could directly lead to the second topic, so I don't know if you can see it or not, "If you have any doubts, you can say it clearly." β
Cao Cao did not call Shixun's nameβthat would be too rudeβbut called him "Hongfu", and he said: "Hongfu, although the plan is good, but at this moment my military resources are not sufficient, where do we get the surplus grain, farm tools, and even ploughing cattle to organize the tuntian?" β
Bingo, congratulations on getting it right!
Why did Cao Cao wait until four years after the collection of millions of yellow scarves to start Tuntian? Is it because no one could have thought of this clever plan before this? It is possible, because the Yuan brothers and other princes did not expect it, so when Cao Cao had already reaped the fruitful results of the first two years of Tuntian, Yuan Shao's army was picking mulberries in Hebei, and Yuan Shu's army was fishing for clams in Huainan, all of them were hungry and waiting to be fed. But there is another big factor, that is, Cao Cao proposed it at this time, Tuntian has to have an early investment, and there is nothing to do without capital.
Cao Cao not only surrendered the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, but a few years later, he also surrendered a large number of Runan Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turban thieves in Runan are not as fierce as the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, so the blows they have suffered before are also very limited, they are not only wandering around and robbing, but also planting wherever they go, so they keep a lot of farm tools and raise a lot of livestock. Cao Cao relied on seizing a large number of ploughing cattle from the Yellow Turbans in Runan, which began the first step in Tuntian.
Now there are no ploughing cattle in the hands of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, even if there was one, it is estimated that all of them will be forced to slaughter and sacrifice the Five Organs Temple at this time, and Cao Cao, the landlord, has no surplus grain, how can he engage in Tuntian?
At that moment, Shi Xun smiled slightly and patted his chest: "As long as Cao Gong agrees, ploughing cattle and planting seeds will be wrapped in a certain body." β
"Oh~~" Cao Cao's voice dragged on for a long time, and he turned two corners, which showed his surprise and joy. Only then did he hear Tuntian's strategy, thinking that he had no capital, he was still playing the drum in his heart, and said that this is Mr. Hongfu's idea is good, but unfortunately it is not suitable for the current actual situation, and he can't conjure up starting materials out of thin air, right? Let's wait for me to ask, if we stop him like this, our momentum will rise again, and we don't have to be led by his nose all the time. But I didn't expect that Shi Xun actually patted his chest and said that it was no problem, as long as he agreed to a condition, what condition? Do you want to buy it with money? Then you have to find Daddy first, he still has a lot of gold and silver there, I don't know if he will let go...... But where are there enough cattle and crops to sell to themselves? Hurriedly asked: "I don't know what Hongfu said, which condition is it?" β
Is Xun naturally moving on to the next topic - ah, ah, or is this time cool, since the momentum is overwhelming, the words are like water going down, gushing endlessly, as if it is like Zhuge Liang's whole "Longzhong Pair", I don't know if future generations will condense my set of rhetoric, and also make up a paragraph of "Suixiang Pair" or "Strategies in the Account"?
So he said: "There is an elder who once offended Cao Gong in the past, and now he wants to join him sincerely." As long as Cao Gong ignores his past suspicions and forgives him, he will be like the Feng Yong teeth of the ancestors in the past, and the hearts of the people can be attached, and the cattle and seeds can also be obtained. β
Cao Cao frowned slightly and asked him, "I don't know which one?" "My heart says that I have a lot of enemies, but I have enough energy, and I really can't think of who this young man is talking about.
It was Xun who turned over the hole cards: "It was a family affair that had just been decided before, and the bride had not yet passed the door, but was the daughter of the Cao family of Peiguo County, and now in Xuzhou." β
This could not be clearer, Cao Cao heard it, and immediately sank his face. It's not right, is there really such a big hatred? I've laid so much groundwork, and you still won't let go? Just as he was about to persuade again, he saw Cao Cao's face suddenly change, his little eyes narrowed, his beard curled, and his face was full of smiles: "Ah, it turns out that they are all family, I almost pushed my brother-in-law out and beheaded me just now, look at what he said...... I'm sorry, brother-in-law, those who don't know are not guilty. β
It's a "grunt" in Xun's heart, and the heart said why are you trying to kill me again? Is this a warning to me, or is it a threat? But fortunately, looking at this, he was going to loosen his mouth - it was really a traitorous male, and his face changed like turning a book.
Cao Cao then asked: "Could it be that the two uncles, Zhong Hui and Shu Yuan, have enough grain and grass materials?" Are they willing to sponsor me? β
It's Xunxin who said it's really fast, it's really fast, and even "uncle" is called out at this time. He shook his head lightly: "Although they have a family house in Xuzhou, for Cao Gong, it is also a drop in the bucket. Cao Cao was confused: "Then Hongfu, what do you mean ......?"
Shi Xun replied: "I am a native of Beihai, and I moved to Xuzhou to avoid war, and my brother married the sister of Elk Zizhong as his wife, and the younger sister also married Chen Yuanlong as the stepfamily, and now it is a marriage with the Cao family...... "He really noticed that Cao Cao and Xi Xian looked at each other again, Cao Cao was fine, but Xi Xian gasped.
So he continued: "Now that the Xuzhou army has occupied Hua, Fei and Rencheng, it is difficult to retreat, and Cao Gong can send an envoy to Tancheng to question Tao Gongzu. At that time, Cao Gong can put forward conditions to provide farm tools, planting seeds, and ploughing cattle - this year Xuzhou is ripe, and the treasury is filling itself, and he is expected not to refuse. β
Now Cao Cao completely understood, the feelings of the four of you have joined forces and basically controlled the political situation in Xuzhou, so as long as I extend an olive branch and mention some conditions by the way, you are willing to persuade Tao Qian to leave Gongsun Zhan's camp, and even not to enter Yuan Shao's camp, but to form an alliance with me. Ah, this is Hongsuke, it's really not simple.,It's a ring after a ring.,So big a benefit.,I can't refuse it at all.γ There's something else in his stomach, I'll have to try to figure it out againβ
"Since Xuzhou is ripe, why don't I just send troops to ask for it?"
Shi Xun had expected that he would be so tempted, so he simply lifted the last hole card: "Zang Ba is in China, Fei, Cao Bao is in Rencheng, curb its danger, Cao Gong with a tired army, the remnants of the grain, can you protect it?" Tao Gongzu is dying of old age, time is running out, why should Cao Gong be anxious? β
Cao Cao understood, and said in his heart that it would be good for you to have this thought. He asked again: "As Hongfu said, if the land of the four wars in Yanzhou cannot be self-reliant, it will be broken by outsiders." If he can't enter Xuzhou, and the soldiers will have enough food in the coming year, where will Cao go? β
This problem is outside of Shi Xun's plan, but it is not difficult for him, after all, his grasp of the general trend of the world at this moment is more than that of ordinary scholars: "Hebei cannot be contested, Cao Gong can take Yuzhou in the south and enter Yuan Shu." If you occupy Yan and Henan, and there is Xuzhou to protect the flank, you can enter Henan and restore the old capital, at that time, the world was ordered, even Yuan Jizhou did not dare to fight against the public head-on. "Of course, this is just a beautiful word on the surface, in fact, after Cao Cao took possession of Yan, Yu, Xu, and Si, he will soon face Yuan Shao, who also owns the land of Ji, Qing, You, and the four states, and the other party is still bigger than you, and has more soldiers and horses than you. But that's an afterword, and you can't say it all - first, some things are too much like a prophet or a demon to say now, and second, some things may be turned over with their little butterfly wings.
That's all for the rest of the day, it's going to be dark if it continues, and it's too late to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and Guan Hai will have to starve for another night - regardless of whether he can survive this night, there are many dreams at night, who knows if there will be any traitor to assassinate him at night, or he can't think of a chance to kill himself again if he can't think of a chance to see no one?
So Shi Xun hurriedly took it out of his arms: "There are two more letters, which are to be submitted to Cao Gong'......"
