In the pavilion in the southeast of Xuchang, the door of the library is opened.

Bags of corn were shipped out of the warehouse and transported to ships in the water.

The shogunate ordered that 450,000 Hu of millet was sent to Xinzheng Cang.

Xinzhengcang allocated almost the same grain to Xingyang.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The hoarding of war materials is a prerequisite for waging war, and it can even be said that it is a matter of life and death.

Near Xuchang Palace, Shao Xun held an on-site meeting.

Under the shade of the elm willow trees, the main aides of the Shogunate of Heito arrived.

The first to speak was Changshi Pei Kang.

He is dying of old age, but after doing a long history, he doesn't know how to do it, his face is radiant, and his body seems to be much better, which is a medical miracle.

Just listen to his voice, which can be called calm and powerful: "Ming Gong, the servant thinks that it is not appropriate to use swords at this time." As soon as the four counties had a surplus last year, they began to control the water, and they sent a large number of servants, which consumed a lot. If you want to go on an expedition, do you want to collect grain from the four counties? ”

The four counties refer to Xiangcheng, Nanton, Xincai, and Chen counties, with a total of 20 counties and about 360,000 people. Because it is a directly administered territory, it has carried out key construction, and it does consume a lot.

In recent years, Shao Xun mainly asked for grain and grass from the nobles, and they generally came from outside the four counties. In the long run, I am more or less dissatisfied, and you have arranged a large number of people in Tuntian, but you do not collect taxes from them, but only ask us for them, what does this mean?

In the past, there were reasons for this, such as that the displaced people have not yet taken root, and the harvest is limited. But it's the third year, and the four counties even have surplus grain to control water, so it's not appropriate for you to collect taxes anymore.

"The wheat harvest in May, in June and July, you can collect some grain beans and hay as appropriate, and one household can produce three grain beans and five bunches of hay, how about it?" Shao Xun said.

There are about 77,000 households in the four counties, and they can probably collect more than 200,000 grains and less than 400,000 bunches of hay.

This is the result of multiple considerations.

In fact, until the two Song Dynasty periods, the average mu income in the north was only one Hu (Tang Hu, Song Hu more than 100 catties, equal to three Jin Hu), a family of five, the average person eats four Hu grains per year, a total of 20 Hu, that is, adults and children are average, one person eats more than one catty a day.

A pound of two taels of grain a day is more than enough for modern people, but for ancient people, it is not enough to eat, and they have to find vegetables, melons and fruits to supplement, in order to survive the green and yellow time, so the family must cultivate 20 acres of fields to solve the problem of food and clothing, this is still the case of not paying taxes.

If you have to pay taxes, or if you are plowing the fields, you will have to go hungry.

If the ploughing is the upper field, it can barely be supported.

The role of water conservancy projects is to eliminate the lower fields as much as possible, and turn them into middle fields and even upper fields, so as to increase yields.

The people of the four counties still have an average of 30 acres of land per household.

After this year's summer harvest, it is true that some grain can be levied in small amounts.

"Since the Ming Duke has a successful calculation, it is not easy for the servant to say anything." Pei Kang said: "It is best to use troops after the summer sowing is over. ”

The summer harvest is followed by summer sowing, which is mainly planted with miscellaneous grains and harvested before the snowfall. The yield per mu of miscellaneous grains is very low, but it is also a harvest and should not be neglected.

"It's June in the summer, and then send troops after packing up, it's already July, and when you get to the enemy's territory, I'm afraid it's not August, four months have passed, what kind of battle are you fighting?" Zuo Sima Chen Yougen glared and said.

Pei Kang glanced at him and didn't bother to say.

Although Chen Yougen has been working hard to read and write, and seems to be studious, he is still a martial artist in his bones, and he knows how to kill and kill all day long, as if they will not make progress in their great cause without conquering the city.

Water conservancy projects, transplanting mulberry seedlings, determining the official system, and cleaning up people's hearts, which is not a major event to lay a solid foundation?

"Don't be impatient if you have a root." Shao Xun whispered.

"Yes." Chen Yougen arched his hand and stopped talking.

Right Sima Yangchen watched from the side and nodded secretly.

Before that, he was a little worried that Chen Gong would be coerced by the martial arts and gradually become desperate, so that the capital invested by the Yang clan would be dangerous, and there was a risk that he would not be able to recover it.

Now it seems that Chen Gong still has a number.

The warriors couldn't coerce him, he had enough prestige to suppress the warriors, and at the same time, he also paid attention to laying a solid foundation and recuperating, giving them the space for the literati to display their ambitions.

If you change to someone with a slightly worse prestige, the civil and military imbalance will be unbalanced, and life will be sad. At that time, he will not have much heart to do things, either fight openly and secretly, or stand by and watch.

In short, he was not very satisfied with Chen Gong's release of the fierce beast of martial arts and the erosion of the interests of the family, but he had invested too much in the early stage, and he was a little reluctant to withdraw now. In addition, Chen Gongming was sensible and knew how to balance, so he relaxed a little, bear with it, the world is like this, and everyone has to pay the price.

"Then send troops after the summer sowing, before that, but send grain and grass military supplies. Don't be in a hurry, don't levy too many people, the summer harvest is coming soon. Shao Xun made the final decision, and everyone had no objections.

"Ming Gong." Liu Anzhi, who was engaged in Zhonglang, said: "Previously, the Ming Duke set the strategy of cutting down Wang Mi, and now he is hoarding grain and grass in Xingyang, why not? Isn't there a change? ”

Shao Xun glanced at him approvingly and said, "This is exactly what I want to discuss with you today. It is definitely going to be fought, but who to fight has not yet made up its mind. Hongnong, Hanoi, and Hebei choose one of the three, and let's discuss it. ”

After speaking, he explained the emergency situation in Hebei, so that everyone could have a deeper understanding of the current situation.

During the Cao Wei period, because most of the Wuhuan people moved into the Central Plains, leaving a vacuum in the northern grassland, Murong Xianbei began to move into western Liaoning, and later assisted Sima Yi to pacify the Gongsun clan, and was named the king of Yiyi, living in the north of the Great Thorn City (now Fuxin, Liaoning), and today, and grazing and farming, gradually developed.

In the fourth year of Yuankang (294), Murong Diao officially moved the capital to Dajian City, established an official system, gathered the Hu and Han people, and Yourong scholars, and the country became more and more prosperous.

When the Central Plains was in turmoil, some scholars went north to take refuge in Xianbei.

For example, Liu Yin of the Donglai Liu clan wanted to avoid chaos in Liaodong, and when he went to Youzhou, he was left by Wang Jun, and he was the Taishou of the Bohai Sea.

In addition to the Liu clan, people from Donglai, Beihai, Pingyuan, Taishan and other counties all went north to join the Murong clan.

For now, only some of the children have been sent over to fight the front station, and the family representatives have not yet passed, but it is difficult to say if it will continue to develop.

Although there is a lot of waste in the family, there are not a few people with shrewd eyes. There are people on Murong Diao's side, which shows that these people really have a deep understanding of the general trend of the world.

Hu Wufu said a while ago that someone in their family had taken refuge in Murong Xianbei with a small family, a ministry, craftsmen and books, and mentioned that the Murong family had strict laws and disciplines, humbly recruited talents, and constantly learned the Central Plains rules and regulations, and made localized transformations.

Headed by the prince Murong Hao, the children of the nobles have apprenticed to learn the culture of the Central Plains.

In addition to managing politics, Murong Diao also went to the school to listen to lectures and recite classics.

It's just that Murong Xianbei is still very capable of fighting. With such a regime, the momentum of its rise is already very obvious, and Shao Xun also gave them an assist, and Duan Xianbei will probably not last a few years.

Speaking of Duan Xianbei, they have now almost completely withdrawn from Liaoxi, and the people of the two tribes have taken refuge in Yuwen and Murong everywhere, and the rest have mostly rushed into Youzhou.

The three forces that once competed in western Liaoxi are now only Murong Xianbei in the south and Yuwen Xianbei in the north.

Yuwen Xianbei was originally stronger than Murong, but in the second year of Tai'an (302), Yuwen Xianbei took the initiative to attack Murong and was defeated twice in a year, with extremely heavy losses, and the gap in strength between the two sides was not as big as before.

After the decline of Duanbu Xianbei, the Murong clan got the largest inheritance, and the strength of the two sides was already very similar, coupled with the fact that the Murong clan was brave and good at fighting, and tried his best to learn the culture of the Central Plains, there were scholars to help take care of the place and give advice, and it was only a matter of time before Yuwen Xianbei fell.

After analyzing the situation, the shogunate officials were not very interested.

In their eyes, those things are a bit far away.

Murong Diao does seem to be a generation of male lords, but his sphere of influence has stopped in Liaoxi, and he currently respects the Jin family, so he doesn't seem to have the idea of rebellion. Not to mention anything else, the national dynasty still has a history of Pingzhou assassination in Liaodong, and there are Zhu Taishou, and it is not difficult for Murong Diao to capture these places, but he did not do so, which shows his attitude.

"Duke Ming, is Duan Xianbei already attached to Wang Jun?" Yu Liang, who joined the army, asked.

"Sort of." Shao Xun said: "They are unwilling to withdraw from Liaoxi, and they are still dreaming of recovering lost territory. Wang Jun couldn't, he had to accompany them to fight, and he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the Xiongnu offensive. ”

"Can Wang Jun's soldiers fight?" Yu Liang asked again.

Joining the army, Kim Zheng sneered.

Yu Liang turned his head suddenly, angry in his heart, but didn't say anything.

"Ming Gong." Jin Zheng said: "From Tai'an to Yongjia, ten years. If Wang Jun sent troops alone, he rarely won victories. In the past, Shile had just gained momentum, and the battle of Feilong Mountain could only cause a small setback to Shile, and almost all the 100,000 soldiers retreated. The reason why Shi Le was afraid of Wang Jun was not the Youzhou soldiers, but the Xianbei soldiers. I really think that Wang Jun has any ability, without the help of Xianbei's son-in-law, it is easy for Shi Jun to be destroyed. There are some scholars who don't have to look down on them. ”

Now many people are looking at Kim Jong.

Jin Zheng didn't care, and glared back one by one, what's the matter, Lao Tzu is still afraid that you won't succeed? Besides, I didn't beat the scholar to death with a stick, I only mentioned Wang Jun, why are you so sensitive?

Shao Xun also looked at Kim Jong.

Jin Zheng's arrogance suddenly disappeared, arched his hand, and said, "I thought I should hit Shile." Guanzhong and Hongnong go with him, they can't take care of it. Hold Shi Le down first, don't let Wang Jun be destroyed by him. ”

Shao Xun looked at the others again.

Pei Kang coughed and said, "But it's up to Ming Gong to decide." ”

"Ming Gong, let's fight Shile." Chen Yougen and Liu Anzhi said almost at the same time.

"Ming Gong, the servant thinks he still has to fight Hanoi." Engaged in Zhonglang Mao Bang suggested.

"Oh? Why? Shao Xun asked.

"If Hanoi is not captured, it will be difficult for the left battalion of the silver spear to withdraw, and there will be no troops available."

"What did you say?" Hou Feihu, who was newly promoted to the post of Shogunate Governor and leader of the Black Guard, was dissatisfied: "The Black Army has recruited more than 2,000 people, and it has been trained for many years, and with the help of the Tuntian Army, it is more than enough to defend the three cities of Heyang. ”

Mao Bang turned his head away from him.

I don't know why, Wang Qi'er, Jin Zheng, and Hou Feihu, who have known each other for many years, are now a little angry with him, which makes him a little sad.

"Ming Gong, the servant thought that he still wanted to beat Wang Mi." The shogunate joined the army, and Hongnono said that he was too morigaki Yan.

His face is not very good-looking, perhaps because Hongnong's situation is too difficult.

At the beginning, because of the existence of the Zhongwu Army and the location of Hongnong's strategic location, he was able to be listed as one of the six military members.

Now there are only a few hundred remnants of the loyal army left, and they can't resist Wang Mi at all. Every time the thieves rushed over, they had to gather Ding Zhuang of Danshan, Jinmen, Yunzhong, and Gancheng forts to rescue, and over time, the Luoshui River Valley became the front line, and the husband could not plow, the woman could not weave, and the life was sad.

Shao Xun was silent after listening to his words.

The Loyal Army was the first unit under his command to be almost annihilated by the formation.

At its peak, there were 4,500 cavalry of the loyal army, but now there are less than 500 remnants left, and it is indeed difficult to support such a wide Luoshui River Valley.

At present, small groups of Xiongnu cavalry often set out from Wang Mi's territory and rushed into the Luoshui River valley, burning, killing and looting, and agricultural production was greatly affected.

This is an important exposure on the Western Front, and it is still losing blood, and it is very critical indeed.

"Where is the governor of the battalion?" Shao Xun asked.

"The end will be here." The eldest nephew Shao Shen had a low status, sat in the back, and got up directly when he heard the words.

"The Loyal Army must be rebuilt." Shao Xun said: "The soldiers are recruited from the four docks of Gancheng, and I will draw a part of the elite from Guangcheng Zetunding to pay you." As for the apparatus—"

Shao Shen was overjoyed.

Yuanyan looks like he's about to lose ground. Without the army, he is no different from the county order, it is better to be directly stationed in Xuchang and concentrate on being a staff member. From now on, the Luoshui Valley will be decided by him alone - Shao Shen's wife Du Shi was born in Yiyang.

"Come with me to Luoyang." Shao Xun said.

"No." Shao Shen sat down, looking quite excited.

The shogunate officials pondered.

Now there are three directions in which fighting is possible. Looking at Chen Gong's meaning, he tends to fight Shile, but Yiyang's side is also a troublesome matter that must be solved.

Whether a big war will break out in Heyang Beicheng, no one dares to guarantee.

Will Qingzhou Cao Wei go west? Hardly.

Although there are many soldiers, they meet the enemy everywhere, and they lack skills.

"Hikoku." Shao Xun looked at Hu Wufu, the sacrificial wine in the West Pavilion, and said, "If you go to Nanyang, you will say that I want Yang Pengzu (Yang Dan) to lead the army north." ”

"No." Hu Wufu responded.

Yangdan's soldiers were not the army of the imperial court, but the private soldiers of the three counties of Nanyang, Shunyang, and Xinye.

He led his army north, and naturally he had to discuss with the Nanyang family and get them to agree to release him.

Yang Dan has a brutal temperament, but his soldiers have experienced many battles, and he defeated Du Tao once a while ago, so he is much stronger than the Tuntian army.

"So be it." Shao Xun waved his hand and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
