Not counting the word count: The grain yield per mu in the Central Plains area in the previous chapter was wrong. It should be about 1.5 shi per mu for small acres and about 3.6 shi per large mu. However, the average grain yield per mu for large acres in Liangzhou is less than or equal to 1 shi, and in some places it is even only 0.4 shi.
, it can be seen that border farming is destined to be a loss-making business. [Reading with Brother] However, farming does not require the court to transport food all the way (10 shi of grain is transported from the Central Plains, and only 1 shi is left when it reaches the border). It can also stabilize the situation on the border. This is
In the eyes of the imperial court, money cannot be measured.

Gai Jun led the generals and officials to stand on the edge of the field. He looked up and saw the bright yellow millet and wheat as far as the eye could see. His heart was quickly filled with happiness. For more than half a year, he had endured all kinds of hardships in order to wait for this day.
First, there was a severe drought that lasted for a month. Gai Jun's eyes were red at that time. He didn't go anywhere or return home every day. He just stayed in the fields and led the people to fight against natural disasters. He finally controlled the drought, but locusts came again.
, overwhelming, the people followed Gai Jun's locust extermination strategy to fight off the locust plague, and then encountered a continuous heavy rain, and started draining water non-stop...
"It's too difficult," Gai Jun said with emotion more than once, and this sentence almost became a mantra in his life. No matter in his previous life or in this life, he was a person who had no worries about food and clothing. He never thought that growing some food would be a good thing.
So difficult.
"After going through wind and rain, you will finally see the rainbow. Only when it is hard to come by will you cherish it." Gai Jun said silently in his heart.
A fat middle-aged man next to Gai Jun said with a smile: "Looking at this momentum, we can get at least one stone of grain per mu. Congratulations to Gai Jun."
During the spring plowing, Gai Jun estimated that the yield per mu would be 0.8 shi at most, and now it was even more than expected. However, he did not feel happy, and instead had a look of disgust on his face. It was not because of the work, but because of the people around him. Everyone around him was like this.
A plump, middle-aged man named Cheng Mingqiu is currently appointed as the governor of the Liangzhou governor's department. Zhizhong and Biejia are the right-hand men of the governor. Although they are only officials, they are said to be half of the governor. Within one state, they have two thousand stone governors from various places.
They all give up three points to each other, which can be said to be overwhelming power.
Cheng Qiu was born in the Cheng family, a wealthy family in Anding. It is said that the conduct of people from a large family would not be too bad, but this man was greedy and plucking hair when the goose was too busy. Everyone in Liangzhou, from the officials to the common people, hated him. [Brother, read a book together.
] He came here to ask for food and soldiers.
In the middle of the year, Geng Bi was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou. Geng Bi was born in the Youfufeng Geng clan and was a direct descendant of Geng Yan, the twenty-eighth general of Yuntai. He has made many actions since taking office. The biggest one is his plan to attack the Jincheng rebels after this autumn harvest.
To launch an attack, Wuwei was specially ordered to recruit 5,000 soldiers from each of the six counties of Longxi, Wudu, Hanyang, Anding, and Beidi to join Hanyang.
Geng Bi had long heard that Gai Jun was working in the north and sent Cheng Qiu to ask for food. Cheng Qiu was used to showing off. In addition to asking for food and soldiers, he also hinted that the officials in the north would give him money, otherwise he would be responsible for the consequences.
Liang Gu didn't let him go. He was so angry that Chang Shi Liang Gu turned against him in public and cursed loudly. Cheng Qiu was so angry that he asked to see Gai Jun and wanted to sue him. Who is Gai Jun? He is the best protector of calves in the world.
I didn't even see Cheng Qiu.
Cheng Qiu left Beidi County in despair and returned to Hanyang to say bad things about Gai Jun and Liang Gu to Geng Bi. Geng Bi did not know the truth and felt that he had lost face. He immediately launched a network of contacts. A month later, Ma Rixi and Qian Bei
Geng Hun, the captain of the capital, sent letters to Gai Jun one after another, asking him to take the overall situation into consideration and not to act out of anger. Gai Jun could ignore Geng Hun, but he had to listen to the teacher and hold his nose and admit it.
Cheng Qiu felt victorious and came to Beidi County again arrogantly. Gai Jun couldn't stand it, so he asked his wife's brother Bian Bing to summon more than ten evil boys and knights in the city to take advantage of jealousy in the society and give Cheng Qiu a good meal.
He was beaten so hard that one of his teeth was knocked out, and he even showed a bright knife, with a fierce look in his eyes. Cheng Qiu was not a fool. He quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy. Afterwards, he hid in the inn to recover from his injuries. He didn't dare to be reckless anymore. He has only recovered recently.
Seeing that there was no one to answer, Cheng Qiu laughed dryly and said: "Since the northern region has a great harvest, we don't need more governors, just 300,000 shi (dendrobium)."
"How much?" Gai Jun glanced sideways, expressionless.
Gai Jun's eyes had substance, like blades. Cheng Qiu looked away unnaturally and said, "Two, two hundred thousand stones will do..."
Gai Jun turned his eyes back to the golden wheat field and said lightly: "Fifty thousand, not one more dendrobium."
"This..." Cheng Qiu said anxiously: "Fifty thousand is too little. I'm afraid Geng will blame you and the subordinates can't afford it." The daily ration for each soldier is six liters. Calculated based on January 30, that is
1.8 hu of dendrobium, 50,000 hu of dendrobium is only enough to feed 10,000 people for less than three months. [Free novel www.]
"If Geng Shijun feels it's not enough, just ask him to come to me." Gai Jun's tone was still calm.

Liangzhou, Jincheng County, Linqiang, Huangzhong Qiang Camp.
The dozen or so Qiang commanders in the Chinese army's tent looked ugly and were drinking wine. In the middle of the year, they sent 30,000 Huangzhong Qiang cavalry to attack Hanyang County. The area north of the Weishui River in Hanyang had been designated by Hanyang Governor Fu Xie.
The Qiang and Hu were used to farm the fields. In order to protect their own interests, the Qiang and Hu fought vigorously. The two sides fought for more than ten days. Dong Zhuo led ten thousand cavalry to attack from behind. The Huangzhong Qiang were defeated and returned with losses of tens of thousands. Not long ago, they
Thinking that Hanyang was not easy to fight, he turned south and marched south to Longxi County. He did not want to be blocked by the fortified city again. He was unable to defeat it for a long time. When he retreated, he was pursued by soldiers from Longxi, Hanyang and Wudu counties, and suffered thousands more losses.
The Huangzhong Qiang have been in Liangzhou for hundreds of years, and they were even known as invincible during the Duan Jiong era more than 20 years ago. At that time, Duan Jiong brought 12,000 Huangzhong Yi from the Qiang to sweep across the entire Liangzhou.
They blocked the killing of the Buddha and beat the Qiang and Hu soldiers in Liangzhou to the point where they would circle around when they saw them. They were more brave than the Han army. Now they have been defeated in consecutive battles and their muscles and bones are broken. How can the Qiang commanders accept this?
A Qiang commander drank a glass of wine and frowned and said: "General Beigong, let me make peace with Bian and Han Erjun. At the end of last year, under the command of Bian and Han Erjun, we defeated Zhou Shen's five-pronged army and captured them.
Tens of thousands, the beating was really a relief. However, since we had a falling out with Bian and Han, these days..."
Someone added: "Yeah, times are much harder than last year."
Some people lamented: "Without the help of the Han people, it would be difficult for us to move forward in Liangzhou."
Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou's expressions darkened, and the other man slapped the table and said, "Damn it, are you crazy about wanting to be Han slaves?"
The Qiang commander who spoke earlier sneered: "I only know that I haven't gained any benefit this year, but the warriors under my command have suffered thousands of casualties, and there will be more casualties in the future."
Most of the Qiang commanders agreed: "Yes, yes. It is not an option to continue like this. The general must think about it carefully."
Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou finally looked at each other, and the latter said: "Bian, Han has always wanted to annex us. If we surrender to them, we will be dead or abolished within two years. So... don't mention this matter again in the future.
.”
Qiang Shuai seemed to be unwilling to accept it, his face showed a struggle, and asked: "Is there really no room for maneuver?"
Li Wenhou just shook his head and suddenly saw the Qiang commander slamming his cup to the ground. The large cowhide tent was instantly cut open by countless swords. Dozens of Qiang people rushed in with ferocious faces, specifically to kill Beigong Boyu. Li Wenhou and his cronies, the Qiang commander, all
There was a flash of swords and shadows inside the tent, shouts of killing, the sound of sharp blades piercing bones, and screams of death. At the same time, there were loud shouts of killing outside.
Li Wenhou's martial arts skills were average. After killing two people, his left leg was cut off. Before he could get up, several knives fell down and he chopped them randomly. He had countless stab wounds on his body. He received six knives on his head alone, and his brains were scattered all over the floor.
Yes. Beigong Boyu cursed angrily, wielding a big sword with great skill, slashing left and right, with unstoppable courage. In a blink of an eye, he was the only resister left in the tent. The Qiang people retreated one after another, drew their bows and arrows, and shot him into pieces.
hedgehog.
Looking at the mess in the tent, Qiang Shuai sighed: "General, don't resent us, it's you who blocked our way."
Liangzhou, Jincheng County, Yunwu.
Late at night, Bianzhang's mansion was flooded with blood, and the ground was littered with corpses. Without exception, there was a trace of confusion and anger on their faces, and they died with their eyes open.
Han Sui held a sword dripping with blood and walked deeper step by step. His handsome and elegant face flickered in the darkness, giving people a coquettish and strange feeling.
Qu Sheng trotted up to Han Sui and reported: "There are more than 500 people in Bian Mansion, all of them have been killed. Only Bian Zhang is left."
More than five hundred lives seemed insignificant in Han Sui's eyes, so he continued to move forward with solid steps without stopping.
Bian Zhang An An was sitting on the main seat, his clothes were as white as snow and spotless. Under the black Jinxian crown was an extremely plain facial features. He looked past the murderous soldiers in the hall and looked directly at the people walking in.
of Han Sui.
Bian Zhang slowly said: "I knew there would be such a day."
Han Sui was silent. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his beloved sword. After a long time, he said, "Step back."
All the soldiers looked at each other until Han Sui shouted back again and then evacuated the hall like a tide.
"Close the door." Han Sui said again.
Bian Zhang laughed and said: "Aren't you afraid that I will hide my crossbow and kill you on the spot? You know, with just a click of your finger, everything you have worked hard for in the first half of your life will be gone."
Han Sui shook his head with a complex expression: "I know you very well after decades of friendship."
"Decades of friendship? People will change..." A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Bian Zhang's mouth: "Just like you.".
"I haven't changed." Han Sui shook his head again.
"No. You have changed. You are no longer the Han Wenyue I know. The Han Wenyue I know is upright, hates evil, and aims to kill eunuchs and save the world..." Bian Zhang became more and more emotional.
, and the speed of his speech also increased: "What now? Look what you have become now? Kill comrades and eliminate dissidents. What do you want to do? Do you want to be the second in Weixiao? Be the king of Xiliang?"
Han Sui's eyes were calm and he said calmly: "My ambition has not changed from the beginning to the end. Everything I do now is for the goal in my heart."
Bian Zhang sneered: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Han Sui returned the sword to its sheath, walked to the left and sat down in front of a cattail mat, and whispered: "Bo Yun, you are my best friend and best confidant in this life. I don't want to kill you. But, you
I had to die, and I hesitated for more than half a year before making up my mind. Facts have proved that the Liangzhou Army working independently is a piece of loose sand and vulnerable to attack. Only the Liangzhou Army twisted into a rope can achieve my wish. There is only one way to go,
I have no choice..."
"Kill all the leaders of the Liangzhou army and you will be the leader alone?"
Han Sui acquiesced, and then said: "When I conquer Kyoto one day and invigorate the country, I will go to your grave to worship you."
Bian Zhang shook his head and said, "You can't do it."
"I can do it because I am Han Sui." Han Sui said, got up and walked out. As he opened the door, countless soldiers rushed into the hall, and the sound of crossbows could not be heard.
