Chapter 108: The Year Begins

A group of generals quietly looked at each other, they were not familiar with each other, and they did not seem to have anything in common with each other.

Some have followed the lord for more than ten years, some have only come to vote this year, some have started from the end of the year, some have been surrendered to the enemy, and some have their fathers who are known to everyone.

Guan Ping felt the gaze around him and was unmoved.

"All are here? Then come in. It was Zhao Yun who spoke.

With a thick amount of information in his hand and a bucket of tea in his hand.

Opening the hall door and letting the soldiers guard it, Zhao Yun opened the windows on all sides, and what appeared in front of the generals was a huge sand table.

Xiahou Lan, Gao Xiang, Chen Shi, and Fu Wei had bitter faces, and remembered that they had been tortured by the hellish battle of Xiangfan.

Then I remembered: Ma Yan, who was together last time, is said to have gone to help the military advisor, what about Shiren?

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "According to the order of the lord, you will complete five deductions here in the next two months." ”

Handing out the information sheets in their hands, the generals looked curiously at the instructions on it.

Fu Wei breathed a sigh of relief: Judging from the content in his hand, this deduction is much more reasonable than the last time.

Last time, 30,000 people defeated 70,000 people, and 30,000 people were captured, which is ridiculous!

Zhao Yun picked up a long stick and pointed on the sand table in turn:

"The battle of Jingxiang, the attack and defense of Hanzhong, the breaking of Wu by Xiangshui, the siege of Hefei, and the rejection of Yiling."

"In this deduction, you are all colleagues, and you can freely deduce according to the situation described in your hands, and if you think you can pass, you can be assessed by this general."

Zhao Yun smiled, but no matter how you look at this smile, it doesn't mean well:

"For example, in the battle of Jingxiang, after deducing once, Yibian deduced, and only after passing twice can it be qualified."

But to Zhao Yun's disappointment, the generals present did not come up with enthusiasm to challenge him directly.

This year's new generals want to see how the veterans deal with it, but generals such as Guan Ping, Chen Shi, Fu Wei and other generals have always been cautious.

The excitement will have no effect, and Zhao Yun is not interested:

"This place is confidential, the law is unforgiving, and I also ask you not to say anything about this here, not to draw a picture of this place outside, and not to bring out the records in your hands."

"Otherwise, when you are held in front of the lord, it will be too late to regret it."

The generals were solemn.

Seeing that the generals in the hall were looking at each other, Zhao Yun simply went out for a stroll by himself, so as to give this group of generals a space to communicate.

Until now, Gong'an County is not large, although Lei Xu brought a population of 50,000 before, but with the takeover of Jiangling City, as well as the garrison of Linfu, Dangyang, and Jingyang, and General Guan and Sun Qian overhauled Jiangling City, the people who want to live and the displaced people from the neighboring four counties have chosen to go to these new cities.

The lives of the people who remain in Gong'an County are no longer the same as before.

When he first came here, the lord took the advice of the military division and ordered the soldiers to open up the wasteland and give it to the people, and the people were grateful.

After being inspired by the light curtain, the military advisor led the agricultural affairs, taught the method of breeding, selection and cultivation, gave the song plough to help the farming, and taught the method of manure.

The hard work of the military advisors and Jiang Wan has made the grain production in Gong'an County now more than 30 percent and a half, and the promotion in the four counties of Jingzhou is slower, but the harvest statistics have also increased by 1 and a half percent.

The grain is sufficient but the endowment is reduced, only ten taxes and four, and the public security county is more and more grateful to this Liu Jingzhou.

Liu Bei didn't think there was anything, after all, the four counties of Jingzhou were ten taxes and six or seven, and the grain was not enough to pay under the hardship of the people.

This year's grain production has increased, and it is very easy to collect four out of ten taxes, and the people are happy and the treasury is sufficient, which is very good.

And the follow-up processing of grain has a low-cost water power workshop, and every household's idle labor or into the paper mill iron workshop, or to help build a new city, can get an extra amount of money.

Different from the public security county that withered last year, now there are cloth societies, paper societies, and iron societies on the straight roads in the city, and there are three or four horses that slaughter dogs and pigs.

Even the gum tooth dumplings, which are often sold during the Chinese New Year, are sold by merchants at this time.

In addition, there is a new thing called ink cake, and the merchant who is selling it says that the price of a pound is only 40% of charcoal, but it burns longer than charcoal.

Of course, Zhao Yun knew about this thing, in fact, all the latest things in Gong'an County would be tried out by his two hundred pro-soldiers who had already been equipped with straddles.

The previous charcoal powder was very well received by the soldiers, and this ink cake is the same.

Seeing that the people stopped and worried about being deceived, Zhao Yun squeezed over and slapped the money in the merchant's hand:

"There is a Zhao flag hanging in front of the door in the back street of the county government, and thirty catties are sent over."

"General Zhao!" "General Zilong!"

Most of the people know Zhao Yun, his appearance is outstanding, and when the Zhuge military division came to help with farming, he always accompanied him, was approachable, and he also contributed a lot when he worked.

Zhao Yun smiled and waved his hand and left, and the people also understood what it meant, this ink cake is a reliable thing!

When Zhao Yun returned, the generals in the sand table hall were really familiar, and the two sides were not polite, the generals on one side worked together, and Zhao Yun on the other side was calm.

An hour later, as Zhao Yun lured out the defenders of Jiangling with the remnants of his army, the cavalry of the headquarters and reinforcements went out to cut off the back road, and the city defense of Jiangling was completely broken.

Stretching, Zhao Yun shook his head and admonished: "You should cross the river and go to Jiangling to see how the sailor practices when you have time." ”

Ignoring how the officers whispered and discussed, Zhao Yun looked up at the sky that was already a little dark, and suddenly remembered the north.

At this time, Changshan must have been covered with snow, right?

Zhao Yun didn't think much of his hometown before, but after seeing the ancestral temple and archway built for him in the hometown of the light curtain in later generations, as well as the new Gan Gui who was voted by the lord here, he would rather die and return to Linjiang in Ba County.

The idea of going back to his hometown and seeing it suddenly took root in Zhao Yun's heart.

I don't know what year I will get it back?

It should be soon, although the lord and the military division have not said it recently, but the storage of materials, the recruitment and training of troops, and the large water builder have already made Zhao Yun smell a familiar smell.

Compared with last year, although the monarchs and ministers are busy, Liu Bei is a lot more comfortable, at least he doesn't have to go to Sun Quan to complain.

At the banquet, Liu Bei's two ladies and grandsons worked together, looking at Liu Feng, who had returned from Zhang Fei, to greet Mrs. Gan, who was in good health.

Adou snuggled in Mrs. Sun's arms without making noise or noise, and Liu Bei spontaneously felt satisfied: civil and military harmony, harmony in the back house, children and grandchildren follow etiquette, and the Han family is hopeful.

Zhengdan's backlog of official duties has led to more and more busy people, especially the two military advisors.

Kong Ming not only had to calculate and count the materials, but also prepare for the cultivation and manure plan that could be extended to the four counties in the new year.

Pang Tong planned to refer to last year's harvest and grain distribution of the public security to formulate the most reasonable tax policy for the four counties.

There are even Ma Liang, who was sent to Wuling to repair water conservancy and teach agriculture and mulberry, until January was exhausted, and rushed back.

Around the appointed time of the light curtain, everyone was finally able to take a breath.

Liu Bei is still pinching the list and making uncertain moves, and Pang Tong is already looking forward to it:

Kong Ming, the talent of the world, let me take a look!
