Chapter 46: Post-war Harvest and Jiangdong Foundation (please book for the first time, please book for the first time)

When Danyang County was clearing out the powerful forces south of Jingxian, Sun Ce had already led his troops back to Niuzhu Camp.

He gained a lot in this battle. Not only did he collect more than 10,000 men and women from Shanyue, but he also harvested tens of millions of money, more than 600 pieces of silk and more than 8,000 stones of grain from Zulang!

He was the largest Zongshen in Jingxian County, and all his main forces surrendered in Wanling, so his wealth in the fort was first counted.

Tens of millions of dollars are actually equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars. In later generations, families may be rich in wealth, but at present, due to Dong Zhuo's mess and money, the copper coins depreciated significantly, and they may have barely bought more than 10,000 stones of grain, and others may not be willing to sell them.

After collecting this copper coin, it is basically equivalent to depreciating in your hands every day. The people of this era are not stupid. They may not have the concept of depreciation, but they also know that money is becoming less and less valuable!

The reason why Sun Ce was willing to bring these copper coins back was mainly for moulding. He planned to cast a batch of currency that could be passed in Jiangdong after he captured Jiangdong. He could not always have money and goods. He carried cloth to trade. If he bought two kilograms of meat, he had to cut the cloth on the street. Of course, this was a relatively good situation, and the worse ones were directly bartered.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo, a traitor, was extremely poisonous to the world, and the traitor at the end of the Han Dynasty was the most sinful.

Sun Jian's attack on him really left a great reputation and blessing to the Sun family.

I heard that Sun Ce raised an army, opened warehouses and released grain, and tens of thousands of refugees crossed the river to the surface.

As soon as Sun Ce returned to Niuzhu Camp, Liu You, the commander of the military farm, couldn't sit still and found him as soon as possible.

"General, there have been many refugees crossing mountains and rivers recently. The number of soldiers in the garrison has exceeded 20,000, and the number of people is useless. I have arranged all the new refugees to be corvee, and the number has increased to nearly 5,000. However, the equipment is far from enough, and the process of water conservancy construction is very slow."

Regarding equipment, Sun Ce recruited mostly refugees, and even could not reach the level of two or three agricultural tools and iron tools per household in every household.

Sun Ce was also very concerned about this: "This time I went south to the alliance, confiscated more than 6,000 agricultural tools from the powerful, and bought more than 3,000 pieces in Wanling. A total of tens of thousands of equipment is enough to solve the temporary urgent needs of the camp."

When he heard that Sun Ce brought back tens of thousands of agricultural tools and equipment, Liu You laughed in surprise and said, "With tens of thousands of agricultural tools, it will be more convenient whether it is farming or water conservancy construction!"

"But just relying on seizure is not a long-term solution. You still have to be able to build this farm tool and plowing plough by yourself. Only by holding it in your hands can you be safe. What is the number of plows created in the camp?"

"Just about to report to the general, there were thousands of iron officials in the camp, and more than 200 sets of curved plows have been built, and the speed of land reclamation is far beyond expectations. So I plan to allocate some people to reclaim paddy fields, and use this month or two to open up tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields to sow early rice around the Qingming Festival."

Sun Ce was very grateful and felt comfortable. He said to Chen Wu: "Go and get a piece of brocade and encourage Liu Duwei Zhongke."

Then Sun Ce looked at Liu You and praised him: "Liu Duwei is very considerate. If all the soldiers in the camp are like you, why worry about major issues!"

Liu You took the initiative to surrender to Sun Ce, hoping to help the heroes to help troubled times. Therefore, he devoted himself to his work, and was loyal to his great cause. He not only did his best to deal with military farming matters, but also thought very thoughtfully.

The reason why the lower reaches of the Yangtze River can obtain harvest in one county is that they forget hunger for several years is that in addition to the fertile water and soil, another important reason is that the rice can be ripe twice a year.

The powerful family harvested rice in October, which refers to late rice. Planted rice in August and harvested in October. In addition, there is early rice, planted rice in April and harvested in July. In July, the harvest is also the same. Wheat is harvested in June and corn is September. Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty has been levied twice a year for a long time, and taxes are collected in summer and autumn respectively.

One important reason why the Song Dynasty was able to grow into the former dynasty was that the officials of the Song Dynasty paid great attention to promoting high-yield crops and widely promoted Chameng rice in the south. It can be divided into early, medium and late rice, and may even be ripe three times a year, and the yield per mu increased, so the total yield of rice increased significantly.

Sun Ce never stings inspiring and making ambitious ambitions to his subordinates. He smiled and said to Liu You: "In the past, the Han Dynasty sent a light chariot envoy Fansheng to supervise the three auxiliary plants to plant wheat, and Guanzhong became a prosperous one. He wrote the "Book of Fansheng" and was well-known throughout the ages. Liu Duwei supervised the three counties in Jiangdong to plant rice, so that the land in the south of the Yangtze River would be abundant and the land of fish and rice would be a land of fish and rice. The achievements may not be weaker than that of Fansheng. I hope Liu Duwei can write the "Book of Liu Younong" to benefit the people."

This was not only an inspiration for the high-ranking officials and generous salaries that Sun Ce promised him, but also a direct affirmation of his ideal pursuit.

As for humans, it is impossible for them to always be so material, and they are more or less idealistic. Liu You himself is an idealistic scholar, and writing books and doing such things has been the highest spiritual pursuit of literati throughout the ages.

There were several agricultural calligraphy masters in the Han Dynasty, and Fansheng was the best. "Book of Fansheng" summarized the wheat planting methods, the method of planting gourds, the method of selecting ears, the method of adjusting the water temperature of rice fields, the method of cutting mulberry seedlings, etc., and each of them had excellent results.

As the commander of the military farming army, it is impossible for Liu You to read "The Book of Fansheng". He even planted rice, as well as how to cultivate paddy fields, how to adjust the water temperature of rice fields, and how to plant mulberry grafting, are recorded in the book.

Liu You was familiar with these things and was also very committed to striving for excellence, so he said to Sun Ce with confidence: "You will definitely be humbly asking those who are strong in the field to ask for farming experience, summarize the methods of farming and subways, encourage farming and subways to teach farming and subways, direct farming, so that Jiangdong will be prosperous and prosperous, just like Guanzhong."

Sun Ce waved his hand and said firmly: "You are too modest and cautious. Jiangdong is rich and prosperous, but it is definitely not comparable to Guanzhong. I believe that your talents will make Jiangdong fertile and far superior to the country of Tianfu. Money, grain, rice, sericulture, silk and brocade are the best in the world."

Speaking of silkworm raising and silk reeling, Liu You remembered another thing he came and said: "General, the mulberry trees in Jiangnan sprouted nearly a month earlier than the north. Now the mulberry trees have mulberry leaves in February, but in the Hengjiang Pavilion, there is a shortage of foil in the hands of soldiers and wives, so we should also pay attention to it."

Cluster foil is a tool for raising silkworms. Among them, foil is the mat that is laid on the ground when raising silkworms. The mat in Liu Da'er weaving mat should include this type. Clusters are clusters used for spinning silk for silkworms. High-end and professionals can be made of rattans and built with wood. The most common people use is wheat straw stacks.

These things are not difficult to prepare, and in which county there are not many ordinary people like Liu Da'er who weaves and sells mats?

So Sun Ce said to Liu You: "One of the biggest gains of this time going south to the alliance is that it has received full support from Danyang County, and all counties are restoring order. You can order people to purchase supplies in Liyang, Shicheng, Chungu, Wanling and even Jingxian. The soldiers and wives raise silkworms and silk, which is related to long-term plans, so there is no need to be stingy. After buying the cluster foil, they are directly sent to each household, which is considered to be a comfort to the families of the soldiers in the army."

Liu You received so much generous support from Sun Ce and made great convenience in farming, so he said goodbye and left with confidence.

Sun Ce said goodbye to him, sat back at the table and thought for a while, thinking, thinking that it was really necessary to find a wise minister to be fully responsible for internal affairs.

Although he has no territory yet, his internal affairs are gradually increasing.

When I am now in a military conquest and fighting for the territory of counties, I will definitely have a lot of time to lead troops to fight outside. No one in the rear government affairs will decide to deal with it, which will delay a lot of things.

Thinking of competing for territory, Sun Ce's heart was also burning. He now urgently hopes for a county where he can make full decisions.

Danyang County is now in the hands of my father-in-law. Even if my father-in-law fully supports it, it is not as convenient as controlling a county by himself.

According to time calculation, my father-in-law can stay in Danyang for about half a year.

The battle for hegemony is often counted in years. In half a year, Sun Ce still waited. He would not go crazy and compete with his father-in-law for the foundation and do some things that his relatives would feel happy with his enemies. At least half a year later, his father-in-law would leave Danyang and find a way to take over the entire Danyang.

The most important thing at the moment is to continue to fight, expand the territory to the east, and then recruit outstanding talents. Danyang County is still far behind the beautiful and beautiful Wu County, which is quite popular.

So Sun Ce ordered Chen Wu: "Go and invite Cheng Pu, Xu Kun, Zhou Yu and Jiang Qin."

All four of them were responsible for heavy responsibilities. During this period, Sun Ce was basically the military in the camp, Cheng Pu and Xu Kun were basically in charge of the military in the camp. Zhou Yu was Sun Ce's greatest help, commanding the soldiers who were funded by Danyang County to Sun Ce. The tens of thousands of people captured in Wanling in this battle are fully resettling these people to build bridges and build water conservancy.

Jiang Qin arrived first, and Sun Ce saw him and asked with a smile: "How have you accomplished the important task you have given to you?"

"What an important task! Isn't it just raising horses? I have already calculated clearly that there are 227 war horses, 756 wild horses, and 426 cows." Jiang Qin took out his booklet and lowered his head, and reported it word by word.

Sun Ce's smile even more. As expected, it was a very wise choice to leave the matter of raising horses to Jiang Qin. Although he read the book, the statistics were extremely accurate. Moreover, he was very virtuous, simple and honest, and would never be greedy for money, so the number of war horses would never be hidden.

So Sun Ce was shocked by the final count. He didn't know it. Before he knew it, there were so many horses in the army.

War horses are mainly seized, while the source of pack horses is relatively complicated. Some are obtained from seizures, some are reorganized from Wu Jing and Sun Ben's army, some are carried by powerful men when they joined the army, and some are obtained from horsemen.

But now Sun Ce does have the momentum of a strong army, with nearly 10,000 troops and more than 1,000 horses, and a huge Danyang County supporter.

When Cheng Pu, Xu Kun and Zhou Yu both arrived in the tent, Sun Ce took the initiative to speak and said, "This time he went south, he has reached an alliance with Danyang County Government. Zhou Fujun will fully support us in clearing the strong enemy and expel Liu Yao. He also sponsored our soldiers for 4,000 yuan and more than 30,000 grains."

"We have no worries and can continue to march and conquer the city!"

Xu Kun said excitedly: "We have been training troops in the valley for more than a month. From crossing the river in the first month to now, spring plowing in February has passed. It is indeed a good opportunity to start a war. The soldiers are eager to prepare for success."

The soldiers were happy when they heard the battle, which was undoubtedly a great situation.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had already planned the offensive route.

Sun Ce asked Chen Wu to tell everyone the Danyang map moved by Chen Wu: "According to the previous deployment, we marched in two directions. We led our troops along the Yangtze River to attack Moling and Shuhu areas. Gongjin set out later in the camp, reorganized the soldiers and sent troops to the right to attack Danyang, Jurong and other places."

Zhou Yu's army expanded a lot, but it was a bit large and uneven.

The main reason is that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both look down on the combat effectiveness of the Danyang soldiers. The so-called Danyang elite soldiers have not undergone rigorous training and their military discipline is too dispersed.

There were even a large number of old and weak and cunning people among the four thousand people. Sun Ce planned to give Zhou Yu a few days to choose strong men and women, and to form a strong army.

Regarding military discipline, the opponent is also Danyang soldiers, and it will not be much better than them. Both sides can only temper and grow in war, and then they can hone an elite soldier.

Zhou Yu helped Sun Ce with loyalty, and Sun Ce was also very generous and said to him: "It is not easy for Gongjin to rectify the army. I will transfer a few good generals to help you. Xu Kun, Zhou Tai, and Xu Yi will help you train troops and fight."

Xu Kun, Zhou Tai, and Xu Yi are all brave and good at fighting under Sun Ce’s tent. Xu Kun and Zhou Tai are both brave generals in the army, and Xu Yi is a hero who is famous in Danyang.

There are Zhou Yu, famous generals from all ages, as commanders, Xu Kun, Zhou Tai, and Xu Yiqiang are strong and strong as their minions. Even if their opponents are heroes like Cao and Liu, they may still win big victories like Chibi and Yiling. Those who are in the Qing Dynasty under Liu Yao's command are even less likely to be their opponents.

Sun Ce was not worried about Zhou Yu's division of troops.

Moreover, Xu Kun and his team led 2,000 troops to assist in the battle. Xu Kun commanded two thousand soldiers of the Yuanyang formation as deputy generals, with excellent combat power and would be able to successfully eliminate the powerful enemies in Danyang County.

When Zhou Yu returns to Danyang, Xu Kun can take over the entire army and continue to fight against Wujun.

Zhou Yu immediately bowed and solemnly promised: "I will never let Bo Fu down, march eastward, divide the counties and counties, and clear out all powerful enemies."

"I believe in Gongjin genius. In order to help you fight, I will leave all the carts for you. There are nearly a thousand carts in the camp now, which can transport grain, grain, grass and grass at a time, as well as a large number of goods and equipment, and contradictory arrows. It is enough for you to march to far away."

With so many carts, the army has the ability to march quickly and cross counties. Even fighting in Danyang County, there is no need for supply from the rear in the short term. It is enough for Zhou Yu to fully utilize his military talents.

The food and grass supply of Sun Ce's main army mainly relies on the navy's ships. The navy's ships only have hundreds of ships. In addition to small combat combat ships, there are more than twenty large ships. These are all large ships that can carry 500 stones of grain, and twenty can transport tens of thousands of stones of grain.

The army advances along the water and land, and Sun Ce's main force has no need to worry about logistics supply at all.

After capturing Jiangdong, Sun Ce even wanted to build a giant ship that could transport 2,000 soldiers and carry 3,000 stones to prepare for the future Northern Expedition.

The next update will be around five o'clock
