On March 12, the last group of Wu prisoners gathered at the dock outside Jiangling City, and this group of prisoners was mainly generals and military officials.

At the moment they are assisting in the transportation of grain, moving the grain unloaded from the dock to the small boats moored in the moat.

The southern city of Jiangling is only three miles away from the Yangtze River, but the moat is dredged to the Han River...... That's right, it's that magical.

There is no moat in the west city of Jiangling, the south moat leads to the living water of Tuoshui in the west, and the east moat connects the north moat, from here to Yunmengze Lake, the lake water system is numerous, there is a Jingling that can pass through the south bank of the Han River, that is, Liu Zhang's hometown.

It is the northernmost tributary of the Hanshui River from Jingling, less than ten miles away from Hanjin.

It's just that there is a dry season in spring and summer, and these many and complicated small rivers can only be navigated by small boats and bamboo rafts.

The Yangtze River also has a dry period, the west of Jiangling is Zhijiang County, the reason why it is called Zhijiang County, because the Yangtze River flows here like branches after leaving the Three Gorges, and the main amount of water flows south into the Xiangjiang River, and then converges again in Baqiu.

During the dry season in April and May, the river level between Gangneung and Gangneung Jungju on the south bank is gentle, and pontoon bridges can be easily erected.

At this moment, the Wu army prisoners were unloading the military rations, and Tian Xin sampled them from time to time, and he was going to bring them to Nanyang for consumption.

Quan Cong, who resisted the sack, sarcastically passed by: "Now that the two families have made friends for many generations, why should Tian Junhou be so cautious?" ”

Tian Xin was holding a handful of unhulled rice in his hand and sniffed it gently, turned around and instructed Yu Zhong who was following him: "The rice of Jiangdong is mixed with a small amount of sand, and some of the rice is old rice, and there are rice worms. told Zhuge Ziyu that he would add another one percent of rice, otherwise Quan Cong, Sun Qian and other generals would be detained. ”

Yu Zhong looked at Quan Cong, then at Tian Xin, and arched his hand: "Huh." ”

Tian Xin put the rice back into the bag, and said to Quan Cong, who was panting for breath and looking angry, "Are you going to ridicule me for being a villain? In my opinion, only the villain is a metaphor for righteousness, and a gentleman is a metaphor for profit. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, pay money with one hand and deliver with one hand, and the price is clearly marked. Only villains will be full of morality and righteousness, and want to deceive things. ”

Bombarded by the idiom, Quan Cong was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Tian Junhou means that what Confucius said is inappropriate?" ”

"Confucius said that if the country can be strong and beneficial to the people, why did the country of Lu die first? Moreover, at this time and that time, the century-old Han law pushes the old and the new, and it is still difficult to govern the ever-changing world, what is the use of the words of the ancients 800 years ago? ”

"In my opinion, there are only two sentences of Confucius that are useful besides exhorting learning. One should not do to others what you do not want to be done, and the two are the initiators. ”

Tian Xin said and glanced at several Jiangdong generals and Sun Quan's close ministers gathered around Quan Cong: "Do you still have different opinions?" ”

Liu Su arched his hand: "Tian Junhou disdains Confucius, I don't know where to learn?" ”

"What I have learned is quite varied, and I advocate adapting to local conditions and applying what I have learned."

Seeing that Tian Xin was proud when he said this, the pride was overflowing, and everyone suddenly felt empty, Jiangdong is a cultural desert, and it is better than Jiaozhou.

Tian Xin's learning is said to have been inherited from Dr. Han, and to question Tian Xin is to question the teaching philosophy of those Han doctors.

In these years, there was no separation of civil and military, and for scholars, there was only a saying that they were good at cutting people, or they were not good at cutting people.

Jiangdong's great Confucians generally did not accompany the army, Lu Yi was a well-educated person, Yu turned his major to Yi, and it was too late to stand here to support Tian Xin, how could he refute it?

In addition, the family and the Hanmen, without exception, the family are all family traditions and knowledge, and they have a clear blood lineage, and the bloodline is mostly the blood of the princes and kings of the pre-Qin Dynasty. And the Hanmen clan also has a blood inheritance, and the most recent is also the descendant of the pre-Qin doctor, or after the meritorious service of the two Han Dynasty.

Tian Xin's family is a poor family, and the bloodline can be traced back to the clear Tian Qi royal family, and the descendants of the concubine.

Fighting for the ancestors, Tian Xin is not a so-called family, he is not afraid of fighting fists, and he is not rare of the other party's family heirlooms, so there is no need to be timid.

It's really reasonable, just punch down.

It is said that Song Confucianism and Ming Confucianism will roll up their sleeves and fight when they quarrel, and the two Han scholars are more efficient and speak with swords.

Not long after, Zhuge Jin came to Tian Xin: "Marquis Tian, please forgive me." Wuchang grain reserves have arrived in Jingzhou, but they are really unable to increase rice and grain. ”

"If you don't give this rice, you will leave a boat worth one percent of rice, and I will exchange the boat for rice."

Tian Xin said and raised his hand to the three sacks of rice stacked at the edge of the moat: "Mr. Ziyu, come with me to take a look." ”

Zhuge Jin followed, Tian Xin opened the bag and pointed to the rice and said: "The upper chaff is full, but the inside is mixed with fine sand. The fine sand has a uniform texture and should be river sand. ”

He pointed to another bag and said, "This damp and moldy rice will cause diarrhea and death if you eat it at worst!" ”

He kicked the last bag of rice with his foot: "The old rice of this maggot can also feed the horses." The essence used in our army's war horses is all new grass and new beans, and we can't eat this raw maggot and old rice. I don't want to go to your family Wu Hou to worry about it, and I hope Jiangdong will be more attentive and considerate. ”

Zhuge Jin stepped forward to open the bag and checked, raised his head with a bitter face, and listened to Tian Xin's firm tone: "One percent of rice is only 12,000 stones." When will it be transported, and when will I release it back to the Jiangdong military officials. Mr. doesn't have to go to Ma Jichang to intercede, most of the captives are forced to land by Tian, and it's up to me whether to let him go or not. ”

Zhuge Jin held a handful of rice and his wrist trembled, trembling angrily: "This is not Jiangdong's original intention, I don't want to treacherously and slippery officials and cause a big deal!" Tian Junhou, the Wei army poured the country to attack, and it was the time for Jiangdong to employ people! I implore the prince to put the overall situation first, wait for Jin to return to Wuchang, and then ask the Supreme to transport grain to help Jingzhou. ”

Tian Xin also reached out and grabbed a handful of rice from the moldy sack, and kneaded it into rice flour mixed with chaff in his hand: "Knowing that the Wei people are attacking the country, and also knowing that our army is short of food, why don't you be cautious and do things carefully?" If the Jiangdong military officials eat all the bad rice today, I will enlarge the little military officials and return to Jiangdong with Mr. ”

Reaching out to Quan Cong, Tian Xin asked, "Do you dare to eat?" ”

Quan Cong stared at Tian Xin's angular, obviously hard and refreshing face, and Liu Su behind him gently pulled his arm.

Seeing Quan Cong's restraint, Tian Xin looked sideways at Zhuge Jin: "I expect that these rice should come from the powerful family of the Jiangdong clan, and the Jiangdong army refused to eat it, but it was transported to our army, I really don't know what your family Wu Hou has in mind." ”

Zhuge Jin just sighed for a long time, Tian Xin shook off the rice flour chaff in his hand, and glanced at Quan Cong and the others.

If he dares to eat bad rice, he dares to inspect every bag of rice and eat these people to death.

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to go to the city to find Jiangdong grain merchants to raise food.

Nearly half of the grain merchants in Jiangdong have changed, and there are only two producers of grain outflow from Jiangdong, one is a great family of the old family, and the other is a general who owns the tribe and the tun requirement. There was only one Zhu family left in the Jiangdong clan that was wiped out, and most of the grain merchants in the city were naturally under the command of Jiangdong generals.

Gangneung is an important trading city, and if the Gangdong General School wants to obtain some luxury goods and fashion items, it has to send people to Gangneung to trade and barter.

In fact, Jiangdong also had a currency reform, and Sun Quan ran wild on this road, leaving the Jiangdong officials far behind.

From the cautious fifty denominations at the beginning, to the 100 denominations that were bold to try, then the 500 denominations, the 2,000 denominations, and the maddening 5,000 denominations...... Koto's economy collapsed completely.

No matter how inferior Yizhou's Zhibaiqian is, there is also a tendency to reduce the use of materials, but relatively speaking, it is already very valuable.

Through Gangneung, Yizhou's Zhibaiqian is continuing to spread to Jiangdong.

Selling money in Gangneung, and then taking the money to buy things in Gangneung, Zhibaiqian has the most important stability of currency.
