Chapter 10: Solving the Food Problem
Just when everyone was silent, I only heard Dong Xun slowly speak: "At first, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, the eunuchs were killed, and Yuan Shao and other traitors were in rebellion, and the imperial court soldiers and horses fought one after another, costing countless money and food. ”
"Dong has already solved part of this military salary, although the means are not very clever, but it can be regarded as raising a lot."
Everyone was speechless, Dong Gong's methods were not very clever, they were completely robbing.
At this time, I only heard Dong Xun continue: "If there is a big chaos today, the currency is not good, and the small five baht that Dong ordered was minted before and promoted it rashly, there are indeed some problems." ”
Speaking of this, Dong Xun paused and glanced at everyone, "In addition to the slightly poor manufacturing process, there is also a part of the reason why these new money are not recognized by the family and are secretly rejected. ”
"Is what Dong said wrong?"
Dong Xun moved his gaze to Yang Biao, "Wen Xian, what Dong said is this truth?" ”
Yang Biao, word first.
Yang Biao saw Dong Xun ask himself again, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "What Ming Gong said is exact." ”
Dong Xun nodded and asked, "Wen Xian, is there a good plan?" ”
"This ......"
Although everyone knows that Dong Zhuo likes to discuss national affairs at banquets, how can Yang Biao come up with a countermeasure for such a question?
"Wen Xian, sit, sit."
Dong Xunyan raised his head and said in a loud voice: "If there is chaos today and the people's livelihood is withering, if you want to restore the people's livelihood, it is nothing more than money and food." ”
Everyone nodded, but said in their hearts, Dong Xiangguo, what you said is complete nonsense.
Everyone here is a brilliant person, otherwise they would not be in a high position, everyone knows that money and food are the key, the question is where do you go to make money and food?
It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.
And before Dong Xiangguo ordered to mint a small amount of money, it was a way that was not a solution.
Could it be that Dong Xiangguo has changed his temper now?
Know if this method is not feasible?
Sure enough, just when everyone was pondering, they only heard Dong Xun speak: "You should know that Dong Mou was at the border in his early years and often dealt with the Hu people. ”
"And not all of the Hu people live by grazing, most of them have merged with the Han people and started farming to make up for the shortage of food."
Everyone listened to Dong Xun's words, and their hearts sank, could it be that Dong Xiangguo really had a way?
Dong Xun chuckled lightly and raised his voice: "Recently, Dong Mou thought about it day and night, and combined with the situation of Hu Han on the border, he came up with a method, and said that he would listen to it with the princes. ”
"Let's see if this works?"
"I don't know what Ming Gong said?"
Yang Biao didn't answer Dong Xun's question just now, and then he made a joke very interestingly.
Dong Xun said in a deep voice: "This method, Dong is called Tuntian." ”
Dong Xun did not hesitate to plagiarize the Tuntian used by Cao Cao a few years later on himself.
"Now that the people are displaced and the fields are barren, it is time to try this method."
"Tuntian?!"
Everyone frowned slightly, because Tuntian was not an original secret method, but had already existed a long time ago.
"Thinking back to the period of Emperor Wu, Zhao Guochong Tuntian was on the border, but it was not promoted nationwide."
"In the past, the border tuntian was mostly carried out by soldiers, but now it can be used not only for soldiers, but also for tuntian, which can be divided into three categories."
At this time, I only heard Huang Wan ask: "Dare to ask Xiangguo, what three categories can this law be divided into?" ”
Huang Wan has governed Yuzhou and is a practical person, and after listening to Dong Xun say Tuntian, he already had a general idea in his heart, but since Dong Xiangguo proposed it, Dong Xiangguo must have a case in his heart.
Only then did he ask.
Dong Xun glanced at Huang Wan and said with a smile: "Different from the border military tun, we can set up another people's tun and a commercial tun." ”
"Juntun, Mintun, and Shangtun are carried out at the same time, and there will definitely be gains."
Hearing this, Huang Wan pondered for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know how Xiangguo arranges these three?" ”
Dong Xun explained: "The military tun is based on soldiers, and sixty people are a battalion, which can defend one side and cultivate. ”
"Mintun is a tun of 50 people, and Sima is placed in the tun, if the official cattle are used, the government collects six, and the people take four, if they use private cattle, the government and the people can be half."
"Wonderful!"
Huang Wan was overjoyed, and praised repeatedly: "Xiangguo's method is feasible. ”
"This method works."
"If this method is practiced, those people who are attached to the Yellow Turban thieves will naturally not continue to rebel if they have land, and they will also bring grain and grass to the imperial court."
"This law is good for both the country and the people."
Dong Xun nodded, glanced at Huang Wan, and said with a smile: "Since Ziyan thinks this method is feasible, how about leaving it to you?" ”
"Hmm." Dong Xun paused, and then said: "Ziyan can be a general in the middle of the farmer, specializing in this matter. ”
When the people at the banquet saw Dong Xun arrange it like this, they felt a little strange in their hearts.
Huang Wan opposed Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital before and was removed from the commonplace, and he was entrusted with a heavy task in the blink of an eye?
That's a bit too big, isn't it?
Huang Wan was also surprised at this time, but this is equivalent to something that is beneficial to the country and the people, and he is naturally willing to do it.
Huang Wan got up and saluted: "Wan will definitely live up to the trust of the country." ”
Dong Xun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ziyan's difference in words is not to live up to Dong's trust. ”
"If Ziyan can handle this matter well, he can save countless people."
"I still hope that Ziyan will abandon his previous suspicions."
Huang Wan's face was complicated, before he not only opposed Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, but also conspired with Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo, that was because no matter how you look at Dong Zhuo, he is a scourge.
Now that the assassination has failed, Dong Xun still does not pursue his previous crimes, and even thinks of such a good way.
Huang Wan is worried about the people, so naturally there is no reason to be lazy.
At this time, I saw Huang Wan Zhengse and said: "Wan has acted in his life, worthy of the sky, and Wan will definitely do his best in this matter." ”
"Good! Good! ”
Dong Xun said with a smile, "Since this is the case, then it is decided, Ziyan is afraid that he will not be able to catch it alone." ”
"Dong sent another Zhonglang to assist Duan Xuan with you."
Zhonglang General Duan Xuan is a native of Wuwei in Liangzhou, belonging to Dong Xun's lineage, Huang Wan is in charge of Tuntian, Duan Xuan assists from the side, and he is not afraid of Huang Wan making trouble.
In this way, Huang Wan's rights were balanced in the matter of Tuntian, and the matter of grain and grass was firmly grasped in his own hands.
At this time, I only heard Huang Wan ask: "Xiangguo just said about Juntun and Mintun, so I don't know how Shangtun acts?" ”
Dong Xun explained: "The people of Tuntian can exchange the grain and grain of the tuntian with the imperial court for salt, so that there will be a lot less loss in the middle. ”
"Salt?!"
Everyone talked about it, salt is a necessity like grain, but unlike grain, the control of salt has always been firmly in the hands of the imperial court.
In the current situation, exchanging grain for salt is indeed a good way.
When Huang Wan heard this, he sighed lightly and exclaimed: "I can't wait for the country's strategy." ”
"With this method of tuntian, the people have no worries."
Of course, he also added in his heart that with this method of tuntian, the army under Dong Xiangguo would not worry about the problem of grain and grass.
