In military matters, Wang has always been keen, she only calculated the approximate total amount of taxes and fees increased this time, and she knew it in her heart.

Hejian County has a total of 12 counties, and aside from the population hidden by those powerful clans, there are 10,000 people in one county, and the entire Hejian County has a population of 120,000.

Taking the average tax of 75 per person, the Andong tax paid by 120,000 people is as high as 9 million.

At present, one stone of grain in the north costs 300 yuan, and 9 million is 30,000 stone of grain.

Daqing's 30,000 stone is equivalent to 1,860 tons in modern times, and even if there is a loss, it is thousands of tons of grain, which is enough to support an army of 100,000 to start a big war!

Wang's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The Yuan clan of Jizhou and the Cao clan of Xuzhou are going to fight in Yanzhou, and it is very likely that it will be a big war. ”

And compared with this upcoming war, the previous Yanzhou Red Turban Army rebellion was simply a child's play.

Xu Yue and the others were shocked when they heard this, Xu Dalang directly took Xu Yue into his arms and hugged him, looking like he was ready to run away at any time, so embarrassed that Xu Yue twitched the corners of his mouth.

Xu Erniang asked, "Will it affect us?" ”

Wang shook his head uncertainly, "It's not good to say, it seems that the main battlefield is in the area of Shanyang County in Yanzhou, which is far away from Hejian County, but things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and we can only prepare early to respond to all changes." ”

Xu Yue lamented, "Then it seems that it will be within these two months." ”

Wang looked at her little daughter's wrinkled face funny, and she felt that there was no need to be too pessimistic.

Wang dug Xu Yue out of Xu Dalang's arms and put it on the table to signal her to listen carefully.

Then she dipped her fingers in water on the small table and drew Ji, Yan, and Xu Sanzhou into three adjacent circles and began teaching.

"This year, everyone is saying that the snow is falling early, the weather is abnormal, and this winter will not necessarily start."

"When the spring comes, I have to be busy with farming, and Shanyang County has just experienced a year of drought and needs to recuperate."

"If Shanyang County is used as the main battlefield, the logistics supply line of Xuzhou Cao's in this battle will be very long, and if it is really fought, Jizhou has a great possibility of victory."

"But ....." Wang didn't dare to say too much, and added: "I don't know the specific situation of the two sides, these are just my shallow guesses." ”

Shallow?

Xu Yue shook her head violently, A-Niang, you are not shallow at all! No one who has had dozens of battles can say these words.

"Anyway, even if the fight starts, Jizhou is defeated, we are in the rear, and it is still too late to run, so don't think too much, you should eat, sleep, and sleep."

Wang looked at Xu Da and urged: "You hurry up and make a few more kangs and earn back the taxes you handed over today." ”

Xu Da raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that he didn't need you to remind Lao Tzu to know, but he still nodded obediently on his face.

But after listening to Wang's words, he would never treat her as an ordinary woman again.

If you can't cook with children, you can't eat, with such a clever brain, what kind of children do you cook?

It's time to pick up the spear and go to the battlefield, make a meritorious career and take their whole family to the pinnacle of life!

At this moment, Xu Da had a shameful thought, his stomach was not very good, and he wanted to eat soft rice......

Wang immediately noticed the signs that something was wrong, his eyes turned cold, and he shouted in a low voice: "Get out!" ”

Xu Da: "Okay! ”

......

Although I knew that the big war would come at any time, I still had to go on as usual.

However, since we have predicted that the war is coming, we must prepare in advance now, just in case.

After confirming that the small kitchen in Xu Yue's research room had a certain amount of storage space, Wang took advantage of the fact that the price of grain was still stable and purchased reserve grain at home in batches.

Xu Yue grew up in the south since she was a child, and her staple food is rice, and now she has traveled through Daqing, and she has been eating bitter pasta for a long time, and she wants A-Niang to help her find some rice.

However, due to the fact that the center of economic, political and cultural activities in Daqing is in the north, and the people generally like to eat pasta, even if the Wang family wants to reserve more food for her little daughter, she has no choice but to buy more mainstream grains such as wheat and millet.

The family's savings were spent, and they bought 20 stone of grain, which was converted into 1240 catties of modern catties, in order to put down these grains, Xu Yue dismantled all the tables and chairs in the small kitchen of the research room, and the small room was full.

With more than 1,000 catties of grain in her hands, Xu Yue felt a lot more stable when she slept.

However, due to the hardships of drought before, Xu Yue asked Daddy to bring a clay jar back when he went out, replaced the enchanted plastic bucket that was being used at home, put the plastic bucket into the laboratory, and stored a bucket full of water.

Just when the family was preparing the grain reserves, the news that the Yuan and Cao families were preparing to go to war came out, and the panic among the people skyrocketed, causing the price of grain to rise all the way.

When Wang bought grain two days ago, he paid 300 yuan a stone of corn, but when he went out today, it actually rose to 400 yuan a stone, and there was a rising trend.

But what is even more terrifying than the price increase is that the grain store has no grain to buy.

Since November, grain stores have stopped selling grain in large quantities, and each person can only buy one bucket at a time.

There is now a long queue outside the grain store every day, and every time Xu Da leads the apprentices of the Huo Kang Gang to pass by the grain store, they are secretly glad that their speed is fast enough, and the card point has completed the grain reserve in advance.

However, after experiencing the difficulty of buying grain, Xu Yue's family has a deep understanding of the current chaos in Daqing, and their vigilance has been greatly improved.

However, in this tense and intense atmosphere of preparation, the expected battle of Yuan Cao did not come.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, a sudden blizzard affected Yan, Hebei and Xuzhou, freezing three feet, difficult for cars and horses, and pedestrians on the streets avoided at home, not daring to come out and wander in this extremely cold weather.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Under such circumstances, the two armies could not start a war, and after many parties, a reconciliation was reached, and the Cao clan ceded Dongjun to the Yuan clan of Jizhou, and then Yuan's large army withdrew from Shanyang County to Dongjun to standby.

The two Cao and Yuan families, who were tense and tense, restored a brief period of peace.

Xu Da's fire kang team has grown from eight people at the beginning to more than two hundred, and when he walks in the streets and alleys of the city, anyone who sees him can call Master Xu.

It's like in the entire Hejian County, there is no one who doesn't know Xu Da.

Such an impact is bound to attract the attention of the above, Liu Rong came to Xu's house twice to mix rice, and at the same time, he also expressed to Xu Da the message that "you are favored by the superiors, and you may be about to develop".

After that, I don't know if it was the fifth uncle or Ah Shan, who leaked the news, the brothers of the entire Beicheng Huokang Gang would go to Xu's house every morning and dusk to ask for peace to the ancestor master, in order to get one person to attain the Tao in the future, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven.

The Xu family in the north of the city was in the limelight for a while.

It's just that in this kind of hot atmosphere, Xu Yue faintly has a bad premonition.
