As soon as the words of these two people were finished, Xu Shu and Shi Tao suddenly fixed their eyes on Zhao Yun!

Tian Yu, they hadn't heard of it, and when they heard him give such a general introduction, they didn't realize his skills at all, but Zhao Yun was different! White Horse Righteous Servant, that is the same cavalry as the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry and the Liangzhou Flying Bear Army, they are in the hearts of the grassland people, that is a demonic existence!

Xu Shu and the others naturally glanced at Zhao Yungao!

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu came together, from Jizhou all the way to Xuzhou, because Yuan Shao's territory, the investigation and punishment of horses was too high, so neither of them rode horses. Along the way, the two walked for more than a month.

And Xu Shu and Shi Tao are in a similar situation! Since they separated from Tian Fan in September last year, they have been paying attention to the news from Xuzhou, the battle of Cao Liu, the disappearance of Tian Fan, and the battle of Liu Yuan, they all know.

In June this year, their studies were completed ahead of schedule, so they bid farewell to the three teachers of Pang Degong, and they went together. The two of them were very curious about Qu County, so they made a special trip. It's a pity that people are allowed to enter Qu County, but no one can enter those salt farms and other places.

The two had no choice but to turn back and go down. It was also a coincidence that in this position in the East China Sea Kingdom, I met Zhao Yun and Tian Yu.

The four of them all discovered a strange phenomenon, in all parts of Xuzhou, if you don't catch up with the accommodation because you are in a hurry, you can find a farmer at any time, and you can stay overnight. Moreover, there is no money for food and housing!

The food is good, they can be regarded as seeing the wealth of the people of Xuzhou, the salted fish of the seafood, they washed it, removed the salt taste, and then cooked, and they did not eat the salt washed down, they fed the livestock. And the salt they use is refined salt! According to these people, the price of refined salt is the same as the price of coarse salt a few years ago! This surprised them, considering that in other regions, the price of refined salt is three times that of coarse salt!

Pork, or pig in the water, is an indispensable dish for the people here to entertain them, or for the same reason, cheap and delicious!

These meals are all meals for ordinary people in Xuzhou.

Seeing all the way, the four of them also had a feeling that they couldn't understand Xuzhou! At the same time, I am also full of confidence in the future of Xuzhou!

The four of them are all from background, have ability, and they all plan to invest in Liu Bei, naturally, the more they talk, the more thorough they are, and the more they talk, the more speculative they are! started from Bai Ma Yicong, and naturally, he talked about Gongsun Zhan.

Tian Yu shook his head and said regretfully: "General Bogui is indeed a good general, but unfortunately, he is not a good lord!" His leadership talent is indeed very high, and I also approve of his attitude towards the Hu people! It's a pity that as the lord, he is stubborn and self-serving, does not listen to people's words, and is small in popularity, only cares about himself, regardless of the life and death of the people, he is really not the master who can achieve things! ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Not bad!" The general has gone too far with the people! Moreover, his strategy for dealing with Hu Ren is also a little too harsh! I only know how to kill, but I don't know how to pacify...... You must know that the Hu people are inexhaustible! ”

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, to treat Hu Ren, you should use both grace and power!" ”

Tian Yu was about to interject, but he heard an arrogant shout outside, "Chen Liangdao, you dead man, Lao Tzu is here, you don't even go out to greet him?" ”

Chen Shuangdao smiled and shouted: "Lao Li, do you really think you have become a big official?" Do you have to go out to meet me? ”

Footsteps sounded, and after a while, two people came in from outside the door.

A man in his forties, a literati in his thirties.

When the two of them saw so many people in the house, they were stunned!

The literati clenched his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Li didn't know that there were guests in Chief Chentun's house, Meng Lang!" ”

Zhao Yun and the others signaled that it was okay, and Chen Liangdao said: "Lao Liu, Lao Li, come, sit down and talk!" ”…,

Both of them had eyes, and when they saw the four guests in the hall, they were all extraordinary people, and sat down cautiously.

Chen Liangdao introduced several people. It turned out that this man in his forties was Liu Tunchang, who was close to Tunzi, and this scribe was a small official who came to collect taxes.

Liu Tunchang's name is Liu Kai, a native of Qingzhou, who came to Xuzhou last year. The little official surnamed Li, called Li Ren, is a native of Yanzhou. During the locust plague the year before last, he was displaced to Xuzhou, where a large number of refugees were poured in, and there were too few officials to resettle. Therefore, Tao Qian and others selected many literate people from the refugees to serve as small officials. This Li Ren began to enter the officialdom at that time.

As a result of his outstanding performance, he is now the most important clerk in his county, specializing in the collection of taxes.

Liu Kai and Li Ren are both old acquaintances of Chen Liangdao, so they naturally don't need to be formal, but after hearing the identities of Zhao Yun and the four of them, as well as their acquaintance with Liu Bei and Tian Fan, they naturally respected them a lot. From this, they understood the reason why Chen Liangdao didn't go out to greet them!

Seeing that they were restrained, Xu Shu smiled and said, "Two, we are here in Xuzhou, and we are also going to vote under the emperor's uncle's account, and in the future, we will be colleagues!" You don't have to be intimidated, we want to hear what you have to say! ”

Li Ren listened, sighed, and said, "Since this is the case, then the little brother is welcome!" ”

After that, he turned his head to Chen and said, "Old Chen, the figures of your summer harvest have been counted, right?" ”

Chen Liangdao nodded and said proudly: "Of course!" ”

Li Ren nodded and said, "This season, how much grain can be handed over?" ”

Chen Liangdao smiled, stretched out five fingers, and said, "This number!" ”

Li Ren hadn't spoken yet, Liu Kai interjected! He laughed and said, "That's it? Tell you, hehe, Bentun, you can hand over 6,500 stone this year! What do you think? Compare yourself to me, right? Hahaha! ”

Xu Shu and the four of them listened leisurely beside them, and when they heard this number, a mouthful of water in Zhao Yun's mouth squirted out directly! He coughed a few times and asked in exclamation, "How much do you say?" "Xu Shu and the others also looked like they had been struck by lightning!

Liu Kai smiled and said smugly: "Six thousand five hundred stones!" ”

Xu Shu asked urgently, "How many people are there in your tunzi?" ”

Liu Kai thought for a while, and then said: "One hundred and twenty-six people, among them, eighty-eight strong men, twenty women, and the rest are children and old people!" What's wrong? ”

Shi Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Chief Liu Tun, you have handed over so much grain, how much can you have left?" He thought that Liu Beijun collected such a heavy tax, so there must be very little left for these tun people!

Liu Kai said puzzledly: "Well, there are fifteen stone rations left for each person!" Is there something wrong? ”

At this moment, the four of them were dumbfounded! So, this small tunzi of more than 100 people can produce more than 8,000 stones in a quarter? How is this possible?

Tian Yu asked, "How much land do you have?" Why is there so much production? ”

Liu Kaidao: "There are a total of 3,500 acres of land, and this season's wheat is planted more, about 2,000 acres!" What, what's wrong? ”

Xu Shu is about to collapse, is there anything wrong? What is the ...... He asked with a twitch on his face: "More than 100 of you, can you weigh 3,000 acres of land?" Also, how much grain can be produced in one acre of land? ”

Li Ren understood the reason for their gaffe, smiled slightly, and interjected: "Several, you don't have to be surprised! At the end of last year, after the success of the Quyuan plough studied by Tian Junshi, it was immediately distributed to all military and civilian tuns, which saved manpower and material resources, so last year's cultivated area was much larger! In addition, the various farming techniques studied by Tian Junshi have increased the yield of wheat per mu from about three stones to more than four stones! The government also prepared ten cows for each tun, and when it came to farming, it was not a big problem! Also, in our county, there are also people who are in charge of farming, and when they are busy, they will bring their own farming cattle and farm tools to help in the fields! ”…,

A few people listened to it, and then they were no longer surprised.

Li Ren said again: "It's just that during the harvest season, it will be very busy!" Fortunately, the army in our neighborhood will come to help! ”

A few people nodded, only feeling in their hearts that this Xuzhou is really different!

Tian Yu made a silent calculation in his heart, and asked Chen Liangdao: "Chief Chen Tun, how many people are there in your tunzi?" ”

Chen Liangdao said: "One hundred and nine, seventy-four strong men, seventeen women, and the rest are old people and children!" ”

After speaking, he snorted and said to Liu Kai: "The surname Liu, don't be complacent!" Although you have a lot of food in your tunzi, we can hand in 40 pigs in our tunzi this year! When the time comes, another four cows will be exchanged, and next year, you won't want to overtake us! ”

Shi Tao asked strangely, "What do you mean?" Ten pigs for one cow? ”

Liu Kai and Chen nodded their heads, and Li Ren said: "Hehe, four, this matter is also the credit of Tian Junshi!" In the middle of last year, he consulted with the clans, and since then, all the clans have started to raise cattle in large quantities, and those of us who need cattle exchange one cow for every ten pigs! Especially since the beginning of this year, there have been thousands of cattle smuggled from the north to Xuzhou every month. Now, Xuzhou is not so short of cattle!

"Hehe, I won't tell you anything, the distiller's lees used for raising pigs are all sent by the winemaking workshops distributed by Tian Junshi's family in various places, and we just beat some pigweed, so it becomes very easy to raise pigs! Although ten pigs for one cow is a loss, but we have nothing, and now we have the opportunity to have our own cattle and land, what is there to be dissatisfied with? ”

Liu Kai nodded and said, "Not bad!" Now we raise pigs in exchange for ploughing cattle! If in the future, we have enough cattle, then we can sell them for money! Now, the pork consumed in the army accounts for most of the consumption in Xuzhou, and I think that in the future, ordinary people will have money at home and already like to eat pork! So, it's still good to raise pigs! A pig has to be raised for a year, and the weight is about 400 catties, which can be exchanged for about 1,500 yuan, hehe, it's already a lot! ”

Chen Liangdao nodded and said, "Hehe, the last time I saw Tian Junshi, he said that in the future, there will definitely be more pigs!" However, compared to the population of Xuzhou, it is still not enough! So, he encouraged me to raise more, hey, alas, the amount of sake lees is too small to raise too much! Feed it with food, I don't think it's appropriate! With that, he shook his head with a look of regret.

Zhao Yun heard what they were talking about and went to raise pigs, and hurriedly interjected: "But, you have to hand over so much grain every year, are you willing to do it?" ”

Chen waved his two knives and said, "What's unwilling?" We are all homeless people, and we couldn't even eat before! Tian Junshi and Uncle Huang gave us land, let us cultivate, and gave us better farming techniques, providing us with so much convenience. Just like Li Ren said, the team that is specifically responsible for cultivating land is available in every county, and it is also Tian Junshi and Uncle Huang who know that we are too busy, so they are prepared! They are so good to us, and we are all well fed, what else can we say? Besides, in five years' time, the land we cultivate will be our own! At that time, we only need to hand over 20% of the harvest every year! ”
