Chapter 306: Mother and daughter are safe
There is no shortage of fools among the people, and in fact the meat eaters are the same, the wise and the stupid are in the minority, and there are ordinary people everywhere who have no ability.
It's not surprising at all, and even if you're really stupid, it's nothing more than being honest and honest, and that's not a bad thing. The real bad thing is that these stupid people claim to be smart, but in fact they are stupid and messy, and this is the bad thing that harms others and themselves.
Last year, a farmer in Changshan, Jizhou accidentally got wheat with a yield of more than four stones per mu in the field, and it happened that the officials of the state government sent a place to collect farm tools, and I heard that there was such an amazing thing in the county, and 20 acres of 70 acres of fields grew 100 stones of grain, and he was very surprised. The officials collected all the grain of the hundred stones at a high price and distributed it to the counties of Zhao as grain.
Yanbei also used to be a farmer, attaches great importance to high-yield grain, not to mention that Zhao County has many fields, not to seek to produce four stones per mu, only fifty percent of them can be enough for two counties, what does this mean?
This did not have much impact on the taxes collected by Yanbei, but it could reduce the grain price of Jizhou's original 200 yuan to 180 yuan; And Zhao County, which bore the brunt of the incident, suddenly had hundreds of thousands of stone of grain, which was enough to make the price of grain in the county plummet to thirty yuan.
This is traceable, in the early years, the world was not chaotic Youzhou was chaotic, and the poor Youzhou could not be self-sufficient every year, and Jizhou and Qingzhou needed to transport money and food supplies. Liu Yu was appointed as the governor of the state at the beginning of his tenure, and in the past few years, he urged the people to farm and open up the wasteland, and when he met a good year, the price of grain in the entire Youzhou fell to 30 yuan.
At that time, the bumper harvest in Youzhou was probably difficult to reach the four stone grain per mu of Zhao County today.
If the price of grain can fall to 30 yuan, Yanbei will be able to buy enough grain from the farmers of Zhao State to meet the needs of the north, and in this way for three or five years, the appearance of poverty in the world can be improved.
There is no problem in growing grain, although Yanbei's own fields in Zhaoyuan are less than four stones, they are more than the usual two stones, two and a half stones, and basically maintain them at three stones...... Although Yanbei's own hundreds of hectares of fields outside Handan City are fully irrigated, they are really not fertile soil, and they used to be the forests of Zhao Yuan, with weeds growing everywhere. After Yanbei had people renovate, they built corrals to raise horses and cattle, and the rest of the land was used as fields, which was about the most inferior land in Zhaodi.
If such a yield per mu can be achieved near Zhaoyuan, then what the farmer of Changshan said is true, and the yield of four stones per mu is not empty words.
However, the grain price in Zhao County has not fallen sharply this year, at least not as Yanbei imagined...... There are not many people in the county who really obey the will of the government. When it was reported in the county that someone had planted four stones of grain, the people panicked and hurriedly asked the government and the people who were farming with peace of mind.
It's not stupid, what is it?
Originally, the opportunity to grow a variety of food was placed in front of them, and the grain was delivered to them, who knows where it was thrown away.
For a while, Yanbei didn't bother to bother with this matter, so he simply changed his strategy, no longer gave away in vain, and sold these grains in the market at a price slightly higher than the price of grain, but it was sold out in a few days.
By late September, good news was finally coming from the northern border.
"King, Xianbei is in chaos!"
The messenger riders in northern Xinjiang hold the letter of Youzhou Muyan Dongyin, and have the right to escort the pavilions and horses along the way to the palace of King Zhao. The rider got on his horse from Youzhou and galloped all the way for seven days and seven nights with letters and war reports from outside the Saiwai, his legs were dripping with blood, and he couldn't walk when he got off the horse. In this battle, the soldiers who delivered the battle report from Youzhou to Handan City were not illiterate soldiers, they were all the best students of Youzhou Academy, and they were among the best in Sinology, archery and military strategy.
However, when this rider was carried to the palace of King Zhao on a wooden frame by the soldiers on the gate of Handan City, the atmosphere in the palace was depressing and worrying.
The palace people ran before and after, everywhere was filled with the smell of herbal frying, and there were hundreds of monks sitting outside the East Palace, preaching the Buddha's name; Hundreds of people sacrificed, and there were even witches dancing in the middle...... Yan Bei walked out of the palace with a calm face, turned over and galloped in front of the palace gate, and said to the rider lying on the mat: "How is the battle going?" ”
The cavalry didn't know what was going on in the palace, and said tremblingly: "In early July, General Taishi broke through the Eastern Xianbei, and the rest of the Eastern Xianbei moved west to the central Xianbei infighting, attacked the Kebineng Department, and the leader of his subordinates, Zonu, was killed in battle, and then broke through hundreds of tribes, and walked all the way west until he was defeated by the West Xianbei Lord Budugen. ”
Yan Bei's calm face finally had a little joy, and he nodded: "Okay, very good." ”
After that, he assigned someone to take the cavalry down to heal, and said to the left and right staff: "Give the cavalry a good life to heal, and now the most important thing in the palace is the healer." ”
The left and right staff nodded yes, and then Yanbei called Ueda Feng and others to walk all the way to the side hall, and said as he walked: "If this is the case, there will be a reason for Kebi to withdraw the army in the north, and the state herdsman Shoucheng has not returned, find out the battle report of the previous days, how many soldiers and horses did he lead out of the customs?" ”
Most of the Xianbei tribes in the central part were defeated due to internal strife, but it was impossible for the Eastern Xianbei tribes who moved west to sweep away all the tribes on the grassland, just as Tai Shici could not follow all the tribes of the Eastern Xianbei all the way. These westward migrants helped the Yan clan clear the biggest backing of Kebineng, and the next thing Tai Shici had to face was the soldiers and horses of Kebineng's headquarters.
Although Kebi Neng had many soldiers and horses, this time he was pulled by the westward migrants from the eastern tribe to the same situation as Tai Shici, and the expeditionary force had a greater chance of winning.
Now it depends on whether Ma Teng and Tai Shici can reach a situation of encirclement against Kebi.
"The state horse envoy Jun personally led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses out of Yanmen, and he should have fought with Kebineng." Tian Feng held the battle report and said as he walked: "At this time, at this moment." ”
Yan Bei nodded, and sketched according to the direction of Tai Shici and Ma Teng's attack on the map, but he knew that all this was just to comfort his own heart, and it would not have any impact on the battle situation at all. Immediately, he raised his head and asked, "Isn't the war in Yizhou yet fruitful?" ”
"The two sides have fought many times under the Baishui Pass, and they have won and lost each other, and there is no good way to break through the enemy army." Tian Feng then didn't need Yanbei to ask, so he went on to answer the battles in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and said: "General Xu of Jiangdong has led a large army to cross the river, and the strategy of garrisoning the east attack west of Chaisang is attacking the Sun clan. The battle situation in Jingzhou is not clear, but there should not be much surprise in the overall situation. ”
"Good ......"
Before Yan Bei's words were finished, a person suddenly broke into the hall and bowed down outside the hall with a happy face, singing loudly: "Congratulations to the king, the princess and her daughter are safe!" ”
Yan Bei got up from the couch suddenly, took a deep breath, turned his head to look left and right, and the staff on the left and right all bowed down and congratulated.
"Good, good, good!"
