Chapter 237: Three Hundred Pounds

"Wang Zhixian, can you inform them to prepare this time?" Li Sangou asked.

"Not yet, we must wait until the Western Xia army arrives in Jintang City and White Leopard City to tell the truth."

"It's too late, and if you don't talk about the army pressing the border, you won't be able to deliver the information when the time comes."

"The intelligence can be solved, it's a big deal to make some detours, enter the security army from the Great Wall Ridge in the north, and then go around to Huachi, or take a detour from Huai'an Road in the south. And there is also an advantage to the army pressing the border, everyone may not be afraid in peacetime, and they will promise to assist in this battle, but countless armies are rolling in, and some tribes will retreat, it doesn't matter if they retreat, in case it leaks, the big thing will go. When the army pressed the territory, it was notified that those tribes were cowardly and afraid, and it could be seen, and they could avoid them and would not leak out. ”

This tribe is afraid, not of the people of the whole tribe, but of the chiefs and men of repute of the tribes of Yeli.

The main thing is them, even at that time, they will not talk to the people of the villages, but when the real power comes, these chiefs will be allowed to convey the truth to the people, and then they will lead the people to do things. There may be some people who oppose it, and some people who are afraid, but everyone has begun to act, and those who oppose it will be too late to report it, and those who are afraid will have to follow. Then the strategy can be close to success.

Wang Ju handed him another piece of paper and said, "It is written the conditions I offered." ”

Li Sangou opened it and said happily: "With these conditions, I don't have to worry about it." ”

"Uncle Sangou, this is just one of them. The country's finances have been tight for the past two years, as you know. After this battle, you Yeli clan will have merit, and the court will be rewarded. But that reward is not much. But there is good news for the future of your wild tribe. ”

"What's the good news?"

"You often say that the imperial court does not trust the Tibetan people, there is such a thing, but have you ever wondered, over the years, have there been some Tibetan people between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia? Are there some people in the Tibetan tribe who rely on the large number of people in the clan to be unruly to the government? Did some of the Tibetan people defect to Western Xia or even openly rebel? Not only now. There will be in the future. Moreover, since last year, Li Liangzuo has begun to change some methods, both soft and hard. But it hasn't softened yet, if the mountain side promises some conditions, or sends some heavy money to buy, will more Fan people defect to the past? How do you make the imperial court believe? ”

This is also true. Li Sangou was speechless.

"I'll talk about how the court treats the Tibetan people. You have lived in Wangjiazhai for a long time, and you are also a border citizen, how heavy is the burden of the Han people? But how much burden do the Tibetan people have? Even if the strongman training camp can only be arranged in the nearest villages to train in teams, I played some prestige in the three battles, which made them train in Xihua Chi, just like that, the time is not too long. Yes good. The imperial court was soft in its policy and did not protect the Tibetan people from aggression well. But the two are mutually reinforcing. If the Tibetan people do not pay enough loyalty, sometimes rebelling, sometimes arrogant, will the imperial court agree to pay a greater price to protect? ”

"This is a headache, different races, some are loyal, some are unfaithful."

"Uncle Sangou, that's right. This year, the Western Xia ascended to the west to make the city as the Baotai army, and let Yuzang Huama defend it for the unified army. Why did the Western Xia believe in Yuzang hemp? He betrayed Tubo, and took his subordinates and Western Xia officers and soldiers to Qinzhou to burn and loot, and the two countries could not tolerate him, so they could only honor and disgrace with Western Xia. That's why Xixia will believe him. In the same way, the more than 1,000 Yeli tribes on the other side of the mountain abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and participated in the war at the critical time, and there was no way to return to Western Xia in the future. So when the court officials screen which one can be trusted in the future, which one will they choose? Once trust is generated, and resources from all sides are tilted over, it will be impossible for you Yeli clan to thrive in the future. Of course, please remember, don't be like the Murong people in Huanzhou. ”

"Yes, Wang Zhixian, don't worry, once they come over, I will let them swear that as long as the Song Dynasty does not live up to them, they will always be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty."

"That's good, maybe in a few years, I can return to Gyeongju again."

"Haha, I must have died of happiness at that time," Li Sangou laughed loudly, at that time, Wang Ju would not be a magistrate, it might be the magistrate of Gyeongju!

After saying this, Wang Ju looked at Yao Ji again and said: "Autumn is coming, it seems that it is the time of Western Xia plunder, I am very arrogant in Huachi County, but there is no movement at all on the front line, which is not good." ”

Yao Yi smiled and understood: "Okay, after I go back, I will immediately order each capital to step on the White Army to take action and clean up all the Western Xia scouts in front of Rouyuan Village, Dashun City and Liyuan Fort." ”

In fact, the frontline patrol is strict, and there will be Western Xia scouts operating in the Song Realm.

It's the same on the Western Xia side, because of the past investigation, some scouts in 6 continued to have accidents or sacrifices, but Wang Ju didn't send scouts over? Will also be sent. However, with the heavy patrols, the range of scouts has decreased, and the information that can be found is limited. In fact, the mountain has begun to tighten, and if it weren't for the help of the Yeli clan, the information that Wang Ju got in his hands would be limited, and even this news channel has become an important source of information for Cai Ting.

And it must also be tight, it will not move now, in a few days, with the Xixia army 6 continue to prepare to open, this side is also going to start acting, the main layout is in Liyuan Fort, Dashun City, Rouyuan Village!

Yao Ji said again: "It would be better if it was a year late." ”

If training is done as it is now, in another year, the army will be even more combat-ready. And in another year, you can even change the officers and soldiers of several battalions of Huachi together, especially the armor.

It's really light, Yao Ji wore a new-style vest, and he felt that the pressure on his body was reduced by more than half. Riding on a horse, there is a feeling of wanting to fly.

But Wang Ju said in his heart, if it is a year late, then I will be sad, maybe the court will not know how to demote me to the Lingnan Depression because of anger.

He smiled and said, "Be content, in terms of armor and weapons, now all the armies on Huanqing Road, which one and the Huachi camps?" Don't forget, some of them will rush to Dashun City, which is the main battlefield. Also, that battle can give the other party more than a year to prepare? ”

"Hahaha, content, content. At least I haven't led such a powerful army. Yao Ji said happily.

Not only the armor, but also the morale, and the martial arts that have been practiced for a year. In addition, many fighters have been tested in bloody battles last year and have some actual combat experience.

This is also Wang Ju's last preparation.

However, on the surface, Gyeongju is still the same as in previous years, except for the officials of Hwachi County who continue to be "arrogant", the officers and soldiers of the other battalions are still sleeping in turtles, and they are even tighter than turtles.

Cai Ting also seemed to be dazed and ignorant, and when August came, he first went to Huachi County to see Gaoliang. Subsequently, he presided over the autumn festival. It seems that some of the exams in Ke Yu have done well this year, Cai Ting also personally set up a banquet to entertain him, and called Wang Ju and Cai Ting over to accompany them.

In fact, there are only officials large and small in Gyeongju. There are nearly ten of them who are genuine Jinshi, but the meaning of the two Zhang Wang is different, one is that the two are last year's Jinshi, and the other two are very high. The top of the second class. All within the top 10. Therefore, they come to accompany each other, which has some symbolic meaning.

Wenchen, aren't these your favorites?

There is also what Wenchen likes, that is, internal governance.

Cai Ting spread another piece of dew cloth, autumn is coming, this year the wind and rain are smooth, but I hope that the officials will not be harsh on the people, and assigned the people from all over the country to pay taxes and grain in the nearby fort towns. to be lenient to the people.

Later, he came to Huachi County, which still has nothing to do with the military and politics. Rather, it is the yield of sorghum.

He asked people to choose a sorghum with the best growth, and then began to harvest, and then sent a messenger to weigh and measure the acres of land.

After a while, the yield came out.

The yield per mu is 290 catties.

Although he had been mentally prepared, including Cai Ting, he was stunned one by one.

A servant said, "Three hundred catties." ”

It's still ten catties away, but it's still okay to falsely report ten catties.

Cai Ting also muttered, "Five stones." ”

The five stones include one season of winter wheat, and together, the two seasons reach five stones.

This yield would have been put in nine hundred and fifty years, and it would have been a staggering one, but in the Song Dynasty, it was an astonishing output. Later, Wanchun polder was opened, and the highest yield could reach seven stones in two seasons, which was a fertile polder, plus high-yield rice, and only the yield was available. However, it also shook the imperial court, so Jiangdong Wei began to officially put on the agenda.

It may be that the Qin Dynasty left the Great Wall Lingqu for future generations, and the Sui Dynasty left the Grand Canal, but the two countries quickly perished due to the two major projects.

But which dynasty left the most behind? It's not the Grand Canal, it's not the Great Wall, it's the Song Dynasty. Jiangdong Wei, Taihu Wai, all kinds of terraced fields, Zhancheng rice, until more than 900 years later, descendants are still benefiting.

The current sorghum has nothing to do with those projects.

Now Jiangdongwei has not come out for the time being, there is, but it is not big, and the imperial court has not begun to pay attention to it. It's out, and it has nothing to do with northern production. The output of the entire north is only about two stones, and this time five stones are mentioned, which makes everyone feel like they are in a dream.

Wang Ju smiled and shook his head, the output of the Song Dynasty made him really have nothing to say, looking at everyone being stunned, Wang Ju said: "There are not so many, after a sun, the weight will be reduced." Besides, it's a special case. About this kind of transfer technology can make the sorghum yield two stones per mu, if there is a lack of water, less fertilizer, or poor soil, the yield will be less. ”

"You, what does the old man say about you, how can you not be satisfied." Cai Ting was amused and patted Wang's giant head and said.

Yes, you can't use this piece of land as proof, on average it may only be two stones, but it is sorghum, not high-yielding rice, if you don't plant it in this way, one acre of land is just over one stone. The reason why there are many people who plant is mainly that it is drought-tolerant, the north lacks water, so it has to plant it, in addition, it needs very few seeds, unlike wheat and rice, an acre has to be dozens of catties of seeds, often only one pound of seeds per mu, if this method is used, the seeds may only be enough for a few taels.

So everyone was stunned together, including the owner of the land, the poor old man and his family, listening to the discussions of these officials and officials in front of them, as if in a dream. The old man muttered, "The small one actually grows three hundred catties of sorghum? ”

"You planted it, but you have to thank your magistrate." Cai said funny.

"Zhixian is a good person, and in just one year, everyone's life will be better." The old man said excitedly.

"Life has gotten better, it's because you are hardworking, you work hard, and you don't have much to do with me, but old Wengweng, hurry up and dry them, and throw some deflated grains away, I believe that when the news spreads, there will be many people who are willing to buy them at a high price and go back to make seeds."

"Yes, yes."

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and a Xu official said: "Cai Gong, report to the official's house." What is a big event, a great achievement, this is called a big event. How many people have to be fed? ”

"That's something you have to report." Cai Ting said, it's good news, but there is still bad news coming, but even now, Cai Ting still hasn't made the news of the imminent invasion of Western Xia public. After snorting his mouth, Wang Ju understood and walked to the side with Cai Ting.

"Is there any news over there?"

From now on, both sides are tight, that side is openly tight, the inventory is strict, this side is seemingly nonsense tight, Wang Ju is tossing around, in fact, in this seemingly nonsense tight, it is really tight. The cavalry army of Huachi County and the Tabai army both moved to Huai'an Town, so the Western Xia did not get much news on the northern line of Gyeongju, and the Song Dynasty did not get much news on the other side of the mountain. Therefore, the source of the Yeli tribe has almost become the only reliable source in Gyeongju.

"The mountain side is only a point set, but it has not yet assembled, as for whether the rear of the Western Xia has been assembled, it is impossible to know. However, the Western Xia began to escort grain and grass to Hengshan for 6 consecutive years. ”

"The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and it seems that the time for invasion will not be too far away."

"But the Yokoyama side has not yet assembled, and it is estimated that we still have more than 20 days of buffer time, and they will invade in late September and early October."

"You have a point, the old man will go back to report to the court immediately."

You have to continue to ask for money, now that the money is here, it will definitely be too late to turn it into weapons and armor, into a body, and into a war horse, but when the war comes, can't you boost morale by pulling out real money and silver? (To be continued!)
