Chapter 131: Two strategies for finding food

"Okay, brothers, don't be yelling too much." Song Shijiang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you know this? Today, I will discuss with everyone and find a way."

Yes, the problems of food, grass, military and war horses have become the most restrictive factor in the development of the guards at the moment. Indeed, when the thunder and thunder were used to carry the entire Liangshan camp to the sky at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the 108 Tiangang and Earth Demons headed by Song Shijiang, they also carried hundreds of thousands of food, grass, thousands of war horses and countless military supplies. These were all accumulated by the heroes of Liangshan who fought against the Song army and villages countless times over the years and attacked the city of Zhuangzhuang Village. But no matter how much savings were, they could not withstand the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of guards in a large county in Dongping.

Nowadays, Dongping County has one county and five counties that are in ruins. The lives of the people and the people have been settled. Not only can they not receive money and grain, but they need help in urgent need. The military farming project led by the chief of Dongping and the Tian Cao Shi Xun You has been stationed in the military farming project of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers and their families, and has reclaimed and cultivated millions of acres of land. He was so busy that he was overwhelmed and could not enter the house. Even if he arranged in an orderly manner and had a talented person, how could he have grain and grass output only last more than a month?

As for war horses, Liangshan originally had three or four thousand horses, and then collected hundreds of yellow turban remnants. Later, the princes gathered two or three thousand horses to seize the battle against Dong Zhuo. Then, Shou Zhang and Zhang Bo collected hundreds of horses in one battle, Dongping and Liang Zhongning captured more than a thousand horses in one battle, and then each county collected hundreds of horses. The full plan was that there were only tens of thousands of horses in Dongping. How could the 100,000 guards be divided?

The equipment that made the guards always proud has become too embarrassing. Why did Liangshan stand in the late Han Dynasty? Not only were there more than a hundred loyal and brave heroes, but also had sharp armors. The many Song Dynasty weapons that were hoarded in Liangshan had been technically accumulated for thousands of years, and were well-made and extremely strong. There was also Song Shijiang's thoughts and set up a logistics craftsman in a timely manner. Thousands of craftsmen later recruited, under the leadership of the Golden Leopard Tang Long, Tongbing Ape Hou Jian and others, day and night, the stove was beating and needlework flew away, made and forged countless armoured weapons, and made and sewed countless armored and coats. However, the materials were limited, the time was limited, and the manpower was insufficient, so where could they provide timely supply of 100,000 troops? It was just a little better than the previous two questions.

"The food and grass are not enough, the horses are insufficient, and the military is insufficient... Are you going to have a plan?" Song Shijiang looked at the group of counselors in the lower left and asked for strategies.

The strategists heard the question, so they lowered their heads and whispered.

Soon after, Guo Jia, the leader, stood up, stepped into the hall, bowed to Song Shijiang, and said, "Lord, I only have one county in Dongping, supporting 100,000 elite soldiers, and the food, grass, and armor are indeed difficult to sustain. How to solve it? The whole world is one, the only word is E. Looking for food, horses, and armor..."

"How to find it?" Song Shijiang knew that Guo Jia would continue to talk, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"Lord, there is just such a little land, some people, and some harvests in Dongping. Looking for the county is not the place to go, but just looking outside the county." Guo Jia's eyes were as bright as stars, and he chuckled on his back, "There are two strategies to look for the county outside."

"Share to the filial piety, but say it." Song Shijiang was very happy immediately.

"Lord, I have insufficient food, grass and horses in Dongping, but the money of Jinzhu is piled up like a mountain. The former is expelled from Dongyang. My guards seized hundreds of carts of Jinzhu supplies, and they can be sold for food, grass, horses and weapons. This is a strategy."

"Where to buy it? Such a huge number? Are the princes of each family willing to sell it?" Song Shijiang had long been determined to go out to purchase food and grass, but he didn't know where to go. After all, in such a chaotic era, food, grass, horses, weapons and armor are the foundation of the forces in various states, counties and parties. How could they sell you for no reason, and there were tens of thousands.

"The lord is a bad person. We don't look for the princes' prefectures." Guo Jia smiled with his lips, "The world's food, grass and supplies are ten dou, and the Gaomen's aristocratic tribe dominates seven dou, and we look for the Gaomen's aristocratic tribe to purchase."

"Yes, why did you forget it?" Song Shijiang slapped his head. Alas, he blamed himself for being in Dongping, and Dongping was beaten up by the Yellow Turban again, and no powerful clan reminded him.

During the Han Dynasty, if there was any difference between the social system and the later dynasties, it was the aristocratic family. What was the aristocratic family? Yan Shigu's note quoted by Yan Shigu as Ruchun, "Aristocratic family means that there are wealth and family members for generations." As an important class in the social structure of the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family forces had an important influence on the Han society in their formation and development process. Mainly reflected?

In terms of politics, with the continuous development of bureaucracy, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a family of "semi-officials" that controlled local governments for generations or were senior central officials for generations. They had a long history and had a huge clan scale. The universal world officialization based on bureaucracy caused a confrontation between the aristocratic families and the royal power, and the royal power was even weaker at this time. In terms of economy, the aristocratic families bought land through political and economic strength, or obtained land rewarded by the state through military merits. At the same time, they reclaimed wasteland in the mainland and border counties based on their own advantages. Through their power, the aristocratic families frantically occupied the land, making the land highly concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the food and grass in the world were themselves.

However, it was also highly concentrated in the hands of a few people. In terms of culture, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Confucianism was the only one who respected Confucianism and established the dominant position of Confucianism. Practicing Confucianism and understanding the classics became an important way to combine aristocratic families and power. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rulers attached more importance to Confucianism. "When Guangwu revived, he loved classics, but before he got off the bus, he first visited Confucianism... So he established a doctorate in the Five Classics, each of whom was taught by family law." Emperor Zhang of Han "then ordered all Confucians to select top students, and received "Zuoshi", "Guliang Chunqiu", "Ancient Literature Shangshu", and "Mao Shi", and thus the four classics were carried out in the world." Because the government vigorously advocated Confucianism, the family studies of aristocratic families were very prosperous at this time, which gave the aristocratic forces a "cultural advantage".

Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, the power of aristocratic families continued to develop, but due to the constraints of imperial power, they did not form an independent social and political group, but were an accessory of imperial power. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the power of aristocratic families became mature, they survived and perished with the feudal dynasty under the constraints of feudal state power. After the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty collapsed and the families of the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually declined.?

Okay, OK, Song Shijiang's head is running at high speed, and the knowledge of aristocratic families that studied history and literature quickly flashed through his mind. Now the two strongest aristocratic families in the Later Han Dynasty should be the Guanxi Yang family and the Guandong Yuan family. What about Jingzhou? It is also a region with relatively dense aristocratic families. Cai Huang Pang Kuai, four famous aristocratic families. The Xun family in Yuzhou, the Zhen family in Jizhou, the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Chen family in Xuzhou, and the Gu Lu Zhu Zhang family in Yangzhou, etc. These are also famous aristocratic families in history. Song Shijiang looked back one by one and couldn't help but think about it.

"Lord...Lord..." Guo Jia had to shout softly when he saw Song Shijiang Shen wandering away.

"Oh... cough cough..." Song Shijiang woke up and coughed quickly to cover up, saying, "In this case, Fengxiao recommends that the He family buy it?"

"There are two more places to go, please let the lord decide. One is Jizhou, Zhongshan Zhen family; the other is Xuzhou, Donghai Mi family. The two furniture are of great generations, and now they have become businessmen. The wealth is as good as the country. The food, grass, cloth and silk are like mountains and seas, and they can be purchased." Guo Jia replied.

"Will they sell me?" Song Shijiang asked.

"I don't know, I can get the negotiations." Guo Jia shook his head.

"Who is the right person to go on an envoy?" Song Shijiang asked again.

"Lord, Jia has a candidate, which is the most suitable one." Guo Jia smiled with a touch of her sleeve.

"Who?"

"The Chief Historian Xun You." Guo Jia replied loudly. He bowed gently to Xun You on the left and said, "Duke Xun of Yingchuan is from a famous family, famous and famous. He is loyal and confidential, skilled and powerful, and has many children in the clan. He is currently on missions to travel to and from Hebei and Xuzhou."

Xun You also stood up after hearing Guo Jia's recommendation, bowed to Song Shijiang, and said, "Xun is willing to act and worry for the lord."

Song Shijiang was overjoyed and said, "That's how good." He shouted to the direction of the lower right military general: "Shi Jin, follow the order."

Shi Jin immediately left the line and clasped his fists and said, "Here."

"You will lead a thousand elite soldiers to guard Xun Changshi to and from Ji and Xu to the two prefectures of Ji and Xu, and there must be no mistakes."

"Affect the order." Shi Jin responded loudly.

"Duke Xun, please give me Duke Xun." Song Shijiang bowed solemnly to Xun You.

"Please wait for some good news, and I will set off immediately." Without further ado, Xun You decided to set off immediately. He bowed to Song Shijiang, turned around and walked out, walking in a hurry, and Shi Jin followed closely behind him. "Oh, the farming matter has been carried out. I'll ask you to supervise the daily matter..." As the door approached, Xun You did not forget to turn around and give a reminder.

Guo Jia, Wu Yong, Chen Gong laughed and replied: "I must not forget it, please don't worry Mr. Xun..."

Xun You left in a hurry.

Song Shijiang still remembered that there were two strategies to find food. When Xun You left, he asked Guo Jia again: "There are two strategies to find food outside the county, what about the second strategy?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia burst into laughter, turned around, stretched out his finger, pointed gently at the right seat, but did not speak.

Chen Gong and Wu Yong also smiled and said nothing.

Song Shijiang looked along his fingers, but at first he was puzzled, but then his eyes lit up, laughed loudly, and said loudly: "This strategy is more about a certain intention."

The generals and heroes under their seats stared at each other, but they were confused. How could they have any plans?

Li Kui couldn't help but jumped up and shouted, "Lord, military advisor, what puzzle do you have? What strategy do you mean?"

Because Qin Ming was concerned about the war horse armor and armor of his soldiers, he was also paying close attention to the strategy. He didn't understand what strategy he had said, so he also asked loudly: "Lord, what is the second strategy? Why do you think more about the lord?"

Zhao Yun, who was sitting in the front row of the right, and the two generals Zhang and Liao looked at each other, stood up together, bowed with fists, and said in a singular voice: "Please give an order, I am willing to serve the lord."

"What!" Several heroes were even confused by Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

"Haha! Brothers! This second strategy is about you..." Song Shijiang stopped his smile, looked at the heroes under him, carried his hands, and shouted loudly, "Now I have 100,000 troops and 100 generals in Dongping, with enough soldiers and armor, and the morale is strong, and the people's hearts are in favor. It is the time to rush the troops in all directions and expand the territory. Why worry about insufficient food and grass and insufficient war horses?"

The generals suddenly realized.
