First it was Yaoren, and then it was the Zhang family of Qishan County.

Smacking the meaning for a long time, Wei Changpan sighed slowly, but Yu Chen Shiyan still didn't understand the meaning.

"The killers of the deer cutting platform are gathering north, and the number of people stationed in Jiangzhou will definitely be much worse than before, which is excellent news for us. Chen Shi finally gnawed the last scrap of meat on the roe deer leg, but he was not happy to use thick noodles to dry cakes like Wei Changpan to satisfy his stomach, and then took a freshly roasted fragrant hare from the fire, tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Wei Changpan and chewed the rest of the half, "Although there is also the intention of Gao Xu who is unwilling to cut the deer platform and mix too much into the Jiangzhou rivers and lakes, but not to fight with these killers who are always hiding in the shadows, it seems that it is not bad for a while..."

Wei Changpan held the rabbit leg that was still fragrant, but he didn't have the intention of feasting before, and his mood didn't feel heavy for any reason.

"I just said the stupid thing of your kid who is a hero, and then talk about the grassland tribes after the battle under the city, except for the Taiqige department, in fact, the damage of the tribes is insignificant, this time the barbarians went south to Jinzhou to attack the city and plunder the land, except for the troubled times of the rise and fall of the dynasty, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime scene, that Dun Mao is indeed a hero, this southward move has to be prepared from ten years ago, as for the secret capture of the lure from Da Yao, the construction of siege equipment skilled craftsmen to the grassland, not to mention that it can be achieved overnight...."

"This steppe eagle suddenly lost nearly 30,000 cavalry in Jinju, and the slave warriors who had worked hard to train those who were used to attack the city were also killed and wounded, not to mention the siege equipment, and his own life was almost confessed to the city. Chen Shi, who was full of rabbit meat, said vaguely, "Hey, well done, let this grandson bring troops to besiege the fortress back then, and finally suffer what to do." ”

"The Taiqige tribe needs time to lick its wounds, but the rest of the grassland tribes only need to strengthen themselves with the wealth plundered from Jinzhou, the grassland is not the Central Plains, and there are not so many lords who will use the wealth exchanged for the lives of their subordinates to build those flashy Guidian Lan Palaces. ”

"The merchants who come and go between the north and the south are not much different from those who lick the blood at the tip of the knife, 'if there is 20 percent of the profit, they are ready to move, if there is 50 percent of the profit, they dare to take risks, and if there is 10 percent of the profit, the law of Dayao can be trampled on'. Hey, this scholar's mean words really speak to the sore spots of those merchants. ”

After burping loudly, Chen Shi wiped the greasy side of his mouth with his cuffs, and seeing that the rabbit leg in Wei Changpan's hand still didn't move at all, he rolled his eyes and snatched it from him, "Such a good game doesn't go down while it's hot, it's really a waste to give you a kid...."

"Having said that, those grassland tribes are now bulging in their pockets, and they must always have a flower place, which is also why our Dayao Imperial Court has been sparing no effort in recent years, even if it is to do a loss-making business, but also to let those grassland nobles know that the days of eating lamb mare's milk wine, compared to the splendid silk and silk Peijin Yu Linlang, it is really not a pleasure..."

Wei Changpan was a little puzzled: "Why...."

Remember the URL

"Why would the Dayao Imperial Court use such a method that seems to be contrary to the righteous path?" said that Wei Changpan had not yet spoken, Chen Shiyu smiled narrowly, " In the early years of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu went north several times to go deep into the hinterland of the barbarians, and set fire to the original smelted sword as a monument, which was able to protect the peace of the northern Xinjiang half of Jiazi, and the people lost a lot of money, but it was far from the point of benefiting future generations. ”

This is also the emperor of the past dynasties, although many of them are interested in clearing the northern wilderness, after weighing again and again, they all unanimously choose either the year or the decree of harmony, the grassland is bitter cold, even if the Central Plains army marches north, it will inevitably cost countless money, if it is defeated, it will be taken advantage of the situation by the grassland tribes to invade the south, then it is very likely to shake the country.

"Even if you lay down the grasslands in the north to burn the wasteland and plant wheat, you can only ripen once a year, and there is no high city wall to protect you, no matter how many soldiers there are, you can protect it for a while, and you can't protect it for a lifetime, and the little food produced in the field is not to say that it is for the army, and even the rations for feeding the farmers are owed, and the land occupied by the army will have to be recaptured by the barbarians in a few years."

But these lands, which were cultivated with countless military salaries and the lives of soldiers of the imperial court, could not be handed back to those barbarians who drank blood so easily.

So the courtiers of the dynasty worked hard, and all the best arithmeticians and strategists gathered in one place, and finally came up with a plan. Since the grain produced by the cultivation of the land is not enough to feed the army guarding the land, why not let the army stationed in the cantonment be self-sufficient? In this way, with sufficient troops to defend the land they occupy, the household department will no longer show a deficit in the account of the household department at every court meeting in order to raise the sky-high military expenses required by the cantonment army.

This policy called Tuntian in history was used to the extreme after Emperor Taizu's three northern expeditions, and the territory of Jinzhou alone was expanded several times on the original territory, and Jinzhou had more than 80,000 Tuntian soldiers in its heyday after the implementation of the Tuntian policy in a state, which did not include more than 30,000 people in the original Jinzhou state army. Jinju alone can support more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the work of Tuntian is of great benefit.

"Now it is not the Emperor Taizu who is the one who crowns the great Yao with his martial arts that is in control of the entire dynasty, even if that person has extended his life to this day, it is impossible to expand the territory with all his military force like in those years. After the crisis of the previous year in Jinju, the imperial court had no choice but to restore the Tuntian policy, which had been abandoned for more than 20 years in Jinju, and in just two years, the number of Tuntian soldiers had exceeded 50,000.

Chen Shi's gushing words attracted the children of Yanyulou who had originally gathered in three or five to the fire, and many of the children of Yanyulou, who were born and raised in Jiangzhou, said that they were sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, but because of their own bodies, they were tied up in Yanyulou, not to mention Jiangzhou, and they had never even made a few trips to the boundary of Maoli County, so when they heard what Chen Shi said about Tuntian Ce, Emperor Taizu and the scenery of the grassland, they couldn't hold back their curiosity and came over.

Although the warriors who are fighting in the rivers and lakes can be regarded as figures who have traveled from south to north and seen the world in the eyes of the neighbors, except for those who are most miserable and often have the risk of not having enough to eat, if they want to walk freely in the rivers and lakes in their lifetime, it is still the dream of the vast majority of orthodox disciples to walk in the rivers and lakes in their lifetimes.

Yanyulou Songfeng Mountain, a first-class Jianghu sect in a state such as Songfeng Mountain, or is regarded as a disciple who is not low-minded and has outstanding talents, and is led by the elders of the master to experience in the rivers and lakes. However, even in the Yanyu Building, there are less than 100 children who can be treated like this, and the scar-faced man with the highest status when these people were still in the lake has only been out of the Jiangzhou territory once.

"The news from the north to the south is that the lost territory of Jinzhou has been recovered, but after all, this is just the statement of the Jinzhou government in order to calm people's hearts, as for the actual situation, although you Chen Bo still has some connections in the border army, but you really don't know much, not to mention that now you are still in the name of an official to arrest a criminal, hundreds of dollars a head, although those old brothers will not exchange my old bones for a few rewards, but if the news leaks, it is not a good thing..."

He Chen Shi may be alone now and has no worries, but behind these old brothers who were born and died, there are more or less clansmen who have to take care of them. As a general of Jiangzhou, the Gao Xu brothers of Songfeng Mountain have some connections in Jinzhou, and it is common sense that if they really know something about these mongrels, although his old brothers will not be like Chen Shi and become a lost dog hiding in Tibet, life will never be much better.

"I don't know what's going on tonight, nagging so much. Chen Shi folded a nearby branch to pick out the flesh between his teeth, and then threw the branch into the embers of the bonfire that was about to be extinguished, "Go to bed early, I'm tired of tossing and turning for days, old man, I don't listen to these nonsense." ”

The children of the Yanyu Building, led by the scar-faced man, wanted to speak and stopped, but they all scattered back to the place where they had found a place to spend the night earlier, and the other three were scattered out as secret sentinels around the stockade.

There have been more than one time when people who don't know their identity want to take advantage of the night to come close to visit, although looking at their clothes and clothes, it is just a powerful messenger in the yamen to catch fast, probably to see if this mountain is entrenched by bandits and bandits, and the government can deal with it as soon as possible. However, the unintentional actions of the people in this official mansion almost broke their whereabouts, if it wasn't for the early warning of the secret whistle, I am afraid that Chen Shi would have to shoot this person on the spot with his own hands.

When the children of Yanyulou had dispersed and Wei Changpan was about to get up and leave from the campfire to sleep, Chen Shi grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Uncle Chen, is there something?"

"With our current manpower, there is no addition for a while, and in front of Songfeng Mountain and the deer cutting platform, we are as weak as a chicken that can be pinched to death at will, and taking a wrong step is a situation that will never be recovered. Chen Shi whispered in a voice that was still inaudible from Wei Changpan's distance, "It's better to fight one-on-one with Songfeng Mountain than to hit a stone with one enemy and two eggs right now, I just hope that Panzi you don't blame Uncle Chen...."

Wei Changpan stood silent for a long time, then slowly let go of Chen Shi's hand that was holding the hem of his clothes, and then left without saying a word.
