Chapter 183: Farming and Soldiers (Subscription is not enough, please ask
Subscriptions are really weak. During the same period, Tosa no Yume’s collection was over 8,000, and the subscription exceeded 1,000 in three days. Xiaofeng’s collection was over 10,000, but it was still far away from breaking 1,000. I almost lost confidence. I’ll give this to my brother who is raising a child first.
The first order gives me peace of mind.
Farming can only succeed and cannot fail. In order to show his determination, Gai Jun left the affairs of the county to Chief Shi Lianggu to handle shortly after the spring plowing, and took his family to live temporarily by the Nishui River.
Gai Jun patrolled the farmland every day, and all the kings of the county behaved like this. How could the new county magistrates dare to hide for a while? Within a few days, several large blood blisters appeared on the soles of their feet. They were in unspeakable pain and secretly complained.
Gai Jun pretended not to see him, but he smiled coldly in his heart. If you can't persist in this and are still acting like a shitty official under me, get out of here as soon as possible.
The villages were divided into civilian villages and military villages. The civilian villages were mainly composed of landless civilians. They were based on households and li. There were about 25 households per li with a population of 100. Each household was allocated 30 acres of land. In the Han Dynasty, the land was divided into acres.
A large mu is one hundred paces, and a large one is two hundred and forty paces. The former is the old system in Guandong, and the latter is flourishing in the Qin Dynasty. In the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the whole country unified the mu system and implemented the large mu system. However, for hundreds of years, the small mu system was repeatedly banned.
Over time, officials and wealthy families have repeatedly used this to usurp the interests of the people.
Military villages were composed of soldiers and Qiang and Hu. They were organized by word of mouth and organized into camps. Each person cultivated 20 acres. Compared with 30 acres per household in civilian villages, military villages cultivated one-third less land. This was not because the land was not divided enough.
, but Gai Jun didn't want the tigers and wolves of the Han army to transform into farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, so he always had to set aside some time for training, right?
The land allocated to the military and civilians seems to be a lot, but in fact it is not. The land along the Nishui River is fertile and suitable for farming. However, compared to other places in Liangzhou, the water conservancy facilities are simple. Gai Jun's pessimistic estimate is that the yield per mu is only 0.8 big stones, which is only 0.8 tons.
Half of the output in Guanzhong, including seeds, farm tools, cattle, and grain, are all produced by him. It is certain that he will lose everything in the first one or two years. To be honest, he has never thought of relying on farming to become the best in the world, because he knows that
It was wishful thinking. He only hoped that hundreds of thousands of people could be self-sufficient and that the Han army would not have to worry about food rations. In this way, the farming would be considered a success.
Although farmers can't get rich, business can. The area around muddy water is very suitable for grazing. Gai Jun asked some Qiang people to return to their old business of raising horses, cattle and sheep. At the same time, he encouraged the raising of chickens and ducks. He used these livestock products to exchange for a large amount of necessary materials from the Guanzhong area.
As for money, no money is accepted. When Gai Jun first came, a horse was worth tens of millions, but later it grew to more than two million dollars. Even in the Song Dynasty, when there was a shortage of horses, the price of horses would not reach this level.
On the one hand, it is the monopoly of the wealthy families in the border areas, and the more important reason is inflation. Now it is so exaggerated that you need to use a car to carry money to buy things. It is about to become a primitive society where things are exchanged for things.
In late spring, the weather is getting sunnier and warmer day by day. Looking up, we see a lush green sky. Under the green grass and blue sky, colorful horses gallop in groups, roaring into the distance, causing waves to fill the sky.
of smoke.
Gaimoben was walking accompanied by his mother Cai Wan. When he saw the horses, his face turned red immediately. He broke away from his mother Cai Wan and stepped forward step by step. He shouted: "Big horse, big horse...
Father, mother, look at Malaysia..."
Cai Wan looked surprised. He was still crying and crying when he let him go just now, saying he was scared. Now he is not scared anymore?
Gai Jun said with a smile: "You are a kid? Don't be surprised if you suddenly learn to walk." After saying that, he picked up Gaimo, held him in his arms, and asked softly: "Do you want to ride a big horse? If you want to ride, my father will get it for you.
A foal."
Cai Wan lightly spanked the unruly husband. Little Gaimo was only two years old and more than ten months old. He could not walk steadily and could not ride a horse.
Gaimo seemed to be dissatisfied with his father disturbing him. He opened his mouth and bit Gai Jun's shoulder with eight teeth.
People have recently become his new hobby, and he has to bite whoever he wants. Even his brother Gai Yi has not escaped his magic teeth. He has been bitten and cried several times. Gai Jun is of course the worst, but the little guy is also afraid of Cai Yi.
Wan still feels sorry for her mother and has never bitten her.
Gai Jun pinched his face and threatened: "You stinky boy, if you bite me, I will throw you into the stinking ditch..."
"It stinks, it stinks..." Little Gaimo fanned the tip of his nose with his hand.
"I'm riding a big horse..." Gai Jun loved him so much that he let him straddle his neck. After playing with his son for a while, the family of three came to a hillside. Gai Jun lay lazily on the grass and asked casually.
: "My father-in-law really wants to find a wife for me? He is only fourteen years old this year. Is it too early?".
"It's too early to get engaged at fourteen and get married at sixteen."
Cai Wan sat down and put her legs flat. Two slender and straight legs came out of her skirt, which made Gai Jun look at him greedily. Unfortunately, Gai Mo quickly climbed onto Cai Wan's legs and rolled back and forth. Gai Jun admitted
He was jealous, and wanted to lie there. He said, "Oh, that's strange. Who once brought me the Rites of Zhou and said that a man should marry at thirty and a woman at twenty? Who said that today's population
Five times as much as in the early dynasty, there is less land and more people, so it is not appropriate to get married early?"
"Gai Lang..." The softness in Cai Wan's heart was touched by Gai Jun's words, and her bright eyes almost turned into a puddle of water. Remember, that should be what she said eight years ago. That year, he was seventeen, and she
16. He is the most famous young man in the world. I don’t know how many ladies in the capital have secretly fallen in love with him, but he is the only one who falls in love with her who is seriously ill. In this life, I will not marry anyone other than you, and heaven and earth are a lesson; if I don’t die, I will
As your wife, heaven and earth serve as a guide. The old alliance seems to be just yesterday. In the blink of an eye, he is twenty-five and has become the most famous hero in the world today. She is also twenty-four, and they have the fruit of their love.
Gai Jun sat up and gently hugged Cai Wan into his arms.
Gai Jun knew better than anyone else the darkness of the future world. Even though both farmers and merchants were under control, the military did not give up. Not counting the thousands of troops Gai Yin and Huang Zhong each commanded, Beidi County only had more than 5,000 troops on the surface.
Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Territory, has 3,000 men, 1,000 men are under the direct control of Gaijun Prefecture, and more than 1,000 county soldiers. There are many hidden ones. Of the more than 200,000 Qiang and Hu, with just one move, six or seven can be gathered.
Ten thousand, of course, this is the strength of the troops in the eyes of the Qiang chiefs. To Gai Jun, it cannot be said to be sophisticated. If according to his standards, he can probably mobilize two to thirty thousand elite cavalry. The Han people selected tens of thousands of elite infantry.
Pawns are not a problem. To put it bluntly, in a real fight, Lieutenant Zhang Wen might not be able to beat him.
But... there are still three years before Dong Zhuo enters Beijing. Will he stay in Beidi County safely for three years? He is not sure. During this period, he only needs a piece of paper from the court. Whether he is transferred to another county or transferred back to Kyoto, he will
He had to obediently let go of everything in front of him. He couldn't resist the power of the great man. He often couldn't help but wonder, was he making wedding clothes for others?
"kill--"
A cry of killing woke up Gai Jun. He kicked his horse's ribs and walked over. In front of him, tens of thousands of Xuanjia soldiers were divided into hundreds of small squares in units of a hundred, covering the sky and the earth with a majestic momentum.
Endless oppression. The soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, spears with flat ends, following the commander, the team led the slogan, and thrust forward uniformly, full of masculinity.
The village chief with a scar on his face shouted loudly: "Since you don't have the bravery of Zhonglang, Yang, Guan, Ma, Huang and Xiao Lieutenant, just line up for me honestly. Do you know what a formation is? A formation.
That is, a team, a team, a village, a hundred people are like one person..."
"Come again...kill..."
"kill……"
The commander's face turned purple, he walked up to a strong soldier, kicked him in the heart, and kicked him a foot away. As the blood rushed to his face, the scars from his left eyebrow to his right cheek became even worse.
It was obviously like an ugly centipede, and all the soldiers were so frightened that they all lowered their heads.
The village chief still couldn't get over his anger, so he rushed forward and punched and kicked him, targeting areas that were painful but not harmful to the body. While beating him, he yelled and cursed: "Do you think I'm farting when I say something? I don't obey orders? I know you, but
What do you have to rely on? How dare you show off to me when you are running rampant in this village? I have killed more than fifty moth thieves and barbarian heads on the battlefield. You, the little maid, gave birth to them."
Feeling refreshed, the commander let out a breath of thick air, his pale yellow eyes moved in all directions, and the soldier did not dare to take a breath.
"Obviously, he doesn't have the strength of Yang, Guan, Ma, Huang, and Xiaowei, so if he disobeys orders, I will beat him until he obeys orders. Do you understand? Tell me if you understand..."
"No." Hundreds of soldiers shouted.
The village chief frowned and cursed: "Are you farting? It's still a dumb fart."
"Nuo" hundreds of soldiers roared violently.
The village commander said "Hmm" and slowly walked up to a soldier of moderate stature, patted his face hard, and said with a ferocious smile: "Why the hell do you act like a bitch? Are you so soft? Boy,
I guess you must have been bullied a lot in the village? It's okay, you just need to cooperate with Pao Ze and you can easily kill the enemy, no matter how brave and fierce the enemy is."
"No." The soldier yelled back.
"It looks good this time." The village chief nodded with satisfaction, and then heard someone calling his name.
"Liu Diao..."
Liu Tiao frowned and turned around. He wanted to see which grandson dared to call him by his first name. He was immediately dumbfounded.
"So majestic." Gai Jun said with a smile. Although Liu Tiao's status is not high, he is famous. The reason is that he has offended Pang De and Yang Aruo one after another. He is the only one in the entire Gai Jun army. How can such a legendary figure Gai Jun
Do you know?
Liu Tiao said incoherently: "Sima... no, no..."
"Okay. We are all old brothers, so you can call me Sima."
The soldiers looked curious. They knew the virtues of their commander very well. Even his immediate superior, Junhou, was not impressed, but there was someone who could subdue him. Hearing the commander call him Sima, he still had the previous official position. Could he be the fourth commander?
Dadu, one of the captains? Too young?
Gai Jun asked casually: "How about the field soldiers?"
Liu Tiao hated the iron and said: "You have to practice hard, it's too tough. If you randomly pick one person from our old camp, you can beat ten of them. I would rather go back and be a team leader, or even a captain."
Gai Jun smiled and said: "Work hard, there will be a martial arts show at the end of the year. If you train an elite soldier, I will promote you to the rank of military prince."
"Garrisoning soldiers and marquises?" Liu Tiao was not happy. It was meaningless to field soldiers and even be a Sima.
"Marquis of the Shooting Tiger Camp." Gai Jun put down these words and turned around to continue his inspection.
Liu Tiao was stunned for a long time, then slapped his thigh hard, turned to the garrison soldiers and shouted: "From now on, whoever doesn't train seriously, I will skin him alive."
"Shooting the Lord of the Tiger Camp?" The soldiers looked at each other in confusion. There was only one person in the North who had this ability, and his name was ready to be spoken...
