54, fishing

"Hehe, the fish is on the bait!"

Yan Xing was wearing a sable fur and fishing on the Fen River where the ice was broken. When he saw the float shaking up and down, he laughed, got up and put away the rod, and took a crucian carp the size of a palm into the fish bag beside him.

In this winter, the heavy snow has stopped for two days. Now the busy farming seasons in Linfen and Jiangyi have come to an end. After the winter, Sumai sowed in autumn has been nourished by ice and snow and grows well. Therefore, Yan Xing, who is rarely free today, brought some staff to assist the officials and went out to inspect several military farm sites outside Linfen City.

After inspecting the growth of Sumai in the military farm and the situation of the military farm households, Yan Shi temporarily decided to break the ice and fish at the Fen River. Yan Xing knew that he was a leisurely person, so he immediately ordered a team to turn back to the city and come to the nearest river bank.

In winter, there are only a few people who can enjoy fishing for the snow in the river, so Yan Xing did not let all the assistants come to the river to fish in the cold. Most of them stayed in a house built for the military farm site not far away, and Yan Xing accompanied Master Yan to fish at the river.

Yan Xing's personal guards chiseled and cleared the floating ice near the river early, then wrapped the felt again, and scattered it around not far away to prevent Yan Xing and the fishing pleasure that Yan Xing and the other two had a temporary rise.

"I originally thought that the lieutenant was good at fighting battles and fighting in battles, and was not good at farming, but unexpectedly, the lieutenant could not help but understand farming, and the fish was also well caught."

Although the climate was severe and cold, the teacher still stood up quickly and put the fish into his fish bag. When he heard Yan Xing's happy words, a smile appeared on his face, which had already appeared, and he expressed his thoughts.

Yan Xing did find a great change with him when he first met Niu Tai. Although Yan Xing was defeated, he was still aggressive. Once the momentum was ignited, the hostility on his body also rose up. For this reason, Master Yan implicitly warned him.

Now, Yan Xing has escaped the difficulties of losing and fleeing, and has strong troops in his hands to manage Hedong. His strength is also thriving. However, at this time, Yan Xing is not as sharp as when he first met, and he is slowly restrained. At this time, even if someone wants to deliberately induce him, Yan Xing can still be calm and unremitting.

Even Yan Xing himself may not be able to fully feel these changes. He was in the Liangzhou coalition, in the captive camp, and under Xu Rong's command, and had many edges and corners, but his sharpness was not seriously damaged, thus condensing a temperament of persistence in Shen Yi. This change was clearer than Yan Xing himself.

However, at the moment, Yan Xing did not want to bring the topic of fishing to his own family. He smiled calmly, looked at Master Yan and said:

"In fact, Yan may not be a person who is good at fishing, but fishing and fighting also have similarities, so he only gains something."

"oh."

Master Yan looked at Yan Xing when he heard this. He was also a little curious about what Yan Xing said about fishing and military battles. Could it be that the fishing rod in their hands could turn into a spear to assassinate the enemy on the battlefield?

After Yan Xing put the bait on, he lowered the rod again. He focused his eyes on his fishing rod and looked at the float and began to slowly say:

"The military struggle is nothing more than two words, "counter" and "deception". After calculating the strength of the enemy's troops and the movements of the troops, we can dispatch troops and respond calmly, and successfully deceive the enemy's eyes and ears. We can avoid the real and attack the weak and defeat the strong with the weak."

"The same is true for fishing. This section of the water is wide and the water flows smoothly. It was originally the place where fish gathered that we had calculated accurately. But cheating means showing that they can't do it, and using it without using it. It is obvious that they want to eat its meat, but they have to apply bait on the hook."

"And after doing both, what I need is only some patience and luck to wait for the moment when the fish take the bait."

After listening to Yan Xing's remarks, Master Yan's eyes were full of colors. He learned a lot and was compatible with many theories of Confucianism, Law, and Taoism. When he heard about the General Yan Xing's formation, he was easily associated with fishing. He really had a deep feeling in his heart, which was exactly in line with the Taoist purpose of "the most simple way".

Turning back to the river in front of him, although Yan Shi had been busy with farming, he also keenly felt that in military affairs, Yan Xing seemed to be secretly preparing for a large-scale military use.

"I believe that the captain must have a patience, but I don't know if the luck the captain wants has arrived?"

Yan Xing's mouth curled slightly.

"wait!"

The technique of establishing a country is to strengthen the army and have enough food. Yan Xing's men have been tempered into an elite army after many wars. The arrival of the strict army has also caused the shortcomings of the full food to be slowly filled.

The military farming system in Jiangyi and Linfen, after all, is to unify the land resources of the two places, and then force the refugees who have lost their fields to these military farming sites, so that they can resume production and continuously supply grain and cloth to the two places. Based on this, the situation will be expanded to all industries and ultimately achieve a prosperous situation.

The most difficult thing about military farming is to integrate land and resettle refugees. In the past year and over the past year, Yan Xing and others have been doing these things. Now the foundation has been consolidated, and the ditches and water conservancy has been fully developed in the two places. More importantly, under the coordination and leadership of a strict teacher with the title of classical agricultural history, a group of military farming assistants and a complete system have emerged.

This means that if Yan Xing recovers the northeastern border in the future, he can fully replicate this model, so that the cities, towns and villages in the northeastern border will truly transform into an important territory for Yan Xing's camp to continuously provide military, food, money and money.

Therefore, during this slack season, Yan Xing still maintained contact with Ganling in Anyi, Li Ru in Chang'an, Yang Feng in Pingyang, Jia Kui in Jiangyi, and Pei family in Wenxi, and prepared early intelligence for the war in spring.

Now in the situation in Guandong, the battle for Jizhou between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan has just begun. In addition, the forces of both sides are confronting each other in Qingzhou and other places. The battle for Jingzhou between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao has already reached a fever pitch. However, after Yuan Shu lost Sun Jian, the powerful general, the offensive has become exhausted, and the situation has gradually become a tug-of-war.

In addition to these two camps, there are Cao Cao, Tuo Yi, Zhu Jun, Liu Bei and other figures emerging on the Central Plains. In addition, the heroes of the Southern Xiongnu, Black Mountain Army, Yellow Turban Army, and Guandong Prefecture County attacking each other. In a short period of time, they have no time to worry about Sanhe and Guanzhong.

In Guanzhong, after Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, in order to consolidate his authority, he traveled on a Qinggai Jinhua cart and called the Minister of Santai to report to his mansion. He also rewarded the Dong family, allowing his family members to fill the court.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's power expanding, the undercurrents in the court were even more surging, which eventually led to the thrilling Wu Fu assassination of Dong.

This assassination case involves a lot. He Yong and Xun You in the court were imprisoned, and the congressman Zheng Tai fled to Yuan Shu. However, Dong Zhuo, who was assassinated, did not intend to stop. With internal and external frustrations, his temperament has become increasingly violent.

Dong Zhuo then showed his thundering methods, killing Zhang Wen, forcing Huangfu Gui's widow to death, luring and killing rebel soldiers from the north, and killing some old tribes in Guanzhong, using the most familiar way to shock people, making the inside and outside of the court and the outside world silence.

Then, the ambitious Dong Zhuo moved to the newly built Yiwu, plundered a large amount of money and enriched the Yiwu, and reserved 30 years of grain storage. On the one hand, he claimed to be on the side of watching the success or failure of the world, while firmly controlling the operation of the Chang'an imperial court.

Therefore, when Dong Zhuo learned that his former mortal enemy Sun Jian had died in battle and Guandong Prefecture and County attacked each other again, he was happy and immediately agreed to plan to attack Guandong Prefecture and County on a large scale in the spring of the following year.

The manifesto of dispatching troops was almost sent to Anyi, Hedong.

This situation where both the east and the west are too busy to take care of themselves is undoubtedly like a fish in water and can do whatever they want for Yan Xing, who runs Hedong.

However, there is one more thing that Yan Xing needs to worry about.

"Sir Yan, the military farming in Jiangyi and Linfen has begun to be achieved. All industries in the two places are waiting to be developed. Don't be the newly minted small money in Chang'an ruined this hard-won situation."

Yan Xing looked at Master Yan and said, "When Master Yan heard about Xiao Qian in Chang'an, he also spoke.

"Recently, there has been a lot of small money pouring in on the market in Linfen, which has increased a lot more than before. Although it is not easy to explicitly prohibit it, the county and temples have issued a manifesto, stipulating that all transactions related to the city and military and political affairs will be settled by rice and cloth. The scholars and people also know that those small money cannot be circulated on the surface, so they naturally cannot ruin major events."

When Yan Xing heard about Master Yan’s countermeasures, he thought about it and nodded.

At present, many cities in Hedong are still under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an court. It is not possible to blatantly abolish the newly minted small coins in Chang'an. However, now all industries in Jiangyi and Linfen are waiting to be developed, and barter in the market still occupy the majority of barter in the market. The strict teacher's method is to use government orders to consolidate the barter in the transaction method to achieve the goal of limiting the circulation of small coins in Chang'an.

In fact, when the prestige of the central court plummeted and was unable to control the local coin minting rights, it was inevitable that the heroes in various places would use coin coins to make money. Gongsun Shu of the former Han Dynasty did this kind of thing, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan would do it in the future. Even among the people, some illegal people took advantage of this opportunity to mint private money to make money and make money.

According to the law of bad money driving out good money, the original Han Wuzhu on the market will become less and less, and the market is full of these shoddy bad money. At this time, if powerful means cannot be used to crack down on illegal and disorderly people and restrict the circulation of such bad money, then regressing to the barter trading model is also a compromise method of dealing with it.

After all, the bartering model will be the main trading method for decades in the next chaotic world. However, if you simply regress this bartering transaction method and blame Dong Zhuo, who is minting small money, it will seem a bit shallow.

Currency, a circulating object, needs to be based on the abundant production of social materials and can be used to communicate with each other. Imagine that the world is in chaos, and all the cities and villages are broken into ruins. Farmers are not allowed to farm and peasants are not allowed to weave. At this time, the currency has lost its original role. Whether there are Dong Zhuo's small money or not, the barter transaction method will appear in this turbulent and chaotic world and form the mainstream until the end of the chaotic world.

After understanding these, Yan Xing agreed with the feasibility of the countermeasures of strict teachers, and Yan Xing also had confidence in the coordination ability of strict teachers to live within their means.

Therefore, Yan Xing turned his gaze back to the deep and unknown river water. At this time, his float was floating up and down. Yan Xing could even feel a strong pull on the fishing rod. He focused on the river surface and began to close the rod in his hand.
