7. Liantun manages military food
"Master, please follow this Confucius tomorrow and then go to the south of the city to inspect." After nightfall, Gao Yue asked Mingxuan in the monk's house in Alanta Temple before the oil lamp.
"Gao Kongmu's words are correct. It is the second appropriate place for military camps to the south of the city and to the Purun and Linyou places in Fengxiang Prefecture. Ming Xuan said with his hands together.
Mingxuan next invited Gao Yue for dinner. The ebony table was a bowl of thick green bean porridge, mixed with coix seed, red bean paste and sugar candy. After Gao Yue finished eating it in one breath, he felt the fragrance and beauty. His internal organs were mixed and his fatigue during the day was also cleared. Then Mingxuan invited a bowl of soup, uncovered the lid, and found that it was pear water soup, and drank it all. He said in his heart that it was really enjoyable to eat porridge, rice, and pear water on this early summer night.
In the Buddhist temple outside, the Anxi soldiers respectfully worshiped the Buddha statues, sat in the yard under the corridor, each ate corn porridge, and then borrowed some firewood from the temple's ash yard to make a fire, and sat around the fire. Someone pulled out a bamboo flute, and the sound was whimpering, and the sound was as cold as the sound of a hometown.
At this moment, in the building of the Kongmu Courtyard in Jingzhou City, Yun Shao seemed to have heard some music, so he put down the chess pieces on the double-land chessboard, pulled up the roller blinds, and looked at the distance through the window through the window. He saw several buildings in the southwest corner of the outer land, with bright lights, "Is it the music camp in Jingyuan?" Yun Shao said unknowingly.
Zhihui, who was standing behind her, nodded, and the sound of the flute tube really came from the music camp.
Yun Shao couldn't help feeling sad: I was originally in Weizhou like Songqing, and my parents were far away in Jincheng, Xichuan. Now because I married Songqing, I came to Jingzhou in the western frontier with him. My life is really like a floating palusade! These prostitutes in the camp also left their hometowns and came here to seek survival.
"Zhihui, where are you from, and where are your parents' graves?"
After asking this, Yun Shao turned around and saw Zhihui smiling sadly and shook her head, meaning she didn't know how to answer the mistress's question at all.
In the monk's house of Alantu Temple, Gao Yue and Ming Xuan both stood up in their clothes and walked out. Gao Yue, who was standing on the rocks of the temple, looked down from the lights, unlike the modern society he once lived in. The mountains and rivers of Jingzhou were covered with dark colors. It was really a huge mountain valley with long winds for thousands of miles. Only the city of Zhou and Lianyun Castle far away, there was still some faint firelight, and the Pavilion River was winding like a white lining.
"From the east to Lulongsai,
Haoran Guests miss their own will.
The pavilion is lined with thousands of miles,
The Han soldiers were still preparing for Hu.
The dust in the north sea,
The enemy cavalry is still driving south.
How can you make a long decision when you turn the fight?
Marriage is not a distant picture..."
Mingxuan couldn't help but recite the poem in this situation. Gao Yue could understand that what the monk was talking about was the "Border on the Frontier" written by his ancestor Gao Shi, who was his time. I guess that Gao Shi was also constantly wandering in the battle dust of the northwest frontier back then?
Through all the things today, it seems that this old monk Mingxuan is not a vulgar person.
Gao Yue asked Mingxuan where he was from. The answer he got was from Xizhou. "Now, most of Longyou was embezzled by Xifan, and only a small number of Tang troops were left alone. Mingxuan, like these Anxi soldiers, I have a family to go back!" Mingxuan sighed.
What other hometown do you need to serve the Buddha?
At this time, Gao Yue couldn't help but think of the murdered former prime minister Yuan Zai. The former governor of Xizhou, who had served as the governor of Xizhou, and Fang Ce who built the city of Yuanzhou and restored the west of Longyou Hexi. He had analyzed in detail before he became a Jinshi. Yuanzhou happened to be west of Jingzhou, so Gao Yue couldn't help but spread the "Anti-Ons Picture" given by Duan Xiushi on the floor of the monk's house, and studied it carefully with candles as big as beans...
In the next few days, Gao Yue rode a horse, took a group of Guan Jian who was sweating profusely, and the monk Mingxuan who volunteered to act as a guide, walked from Liangyuan and Duyuan in the southwest of Jingzhou to Bailicheng in the middle, and then came to Baishiyuan and Queguyuan in the Shiraishiyuan where Lingtai County was located. At this time, Gao Yue, who was standing barefoot in the surging river of Daxi River, could already see the mountain border of Fengxiang Mansion further south.
Two days later, Duan Xiushi saw Gao Yue, who had been tanned in the main office of the Jingyuan camp, and asked him what he had done about this trip.
Gao Yue pulled the "Annotation Picture" away in front of Duan Xiushi's knees, then pointed to Baiquan north of Gechuan and Lianyunbao, and followed his fingers to Gonghu, north of Zhoucheng, and said, "Under the festival, you can first be at Baiquan and Gongchi Lake, and 800 hectares of military camps. If it is successful this year, you can establish another 3,000 hectares of military camps in Liangyuan next year, and then at Baishiyuan, and 3,000 hectares of military camps in Weiguyuan - Baiquan has its own springs and will never dry up. Liangyuan's military camps can be irrigated by Jingchuan water, and Baishiyuan and others can be irrigated by Daxi River, without any effort. Once the military camps are
Dacheng, after three years, the Jingyuan camp could accumulate 300,000 stones of grain, so that the soldiers could have enough food, and then report to the court to expand the quota of the seven thousand camps of land soldiers, recruit Qiying to stay in the future and farm, and then the army stationed the soldiers to go out to war, first overcome Panyuan, then join forces with Shuofang Army to overcome Yuanzhou. Once Yuanzhou is overcome, it can connect Jingyuan, Fengxiang, and Shuofang army as the vanguard, Hedong and Hezhong soldiers resisted, fight with Xifan, and restore Longyou and Hexi. From then on, the Tang land can be fully equipped with the beauty of Jinbao, and Jingzhao will not have any troubles."
"How much does the farming cost? Can Yisong get something?"
"After the festival, I have calculated clearly that if you open military camps, you don't plant rice, but only millet, wheat, and millet. This year, you can open 800 hectares of fertile land in hundreds of springs. You only need to collect five dou per mu to collect 40,000 stones of grain. These 40,000 stones can be directly added to the granaries of Jingzhou. There is no need to worry about the cost of buying rice, and there is no difficulty in transferring the money. This way, the price of buying rice can save more than 100,000 jin."
"It costs military personnel, grain planting, and oxen to be plowed."
"The military personnel are all athletes who receive food from the court, and there is no additional fee. The grain planting is about five liters per mu, and the cost of 800 hectares is only 5,000 guan. There are also plowing oxen, fifty acres (one hundred and fifty acres) of one oxen, and 800 hectares require 540 oxen. Now, you can buy oxen from Fengxiang and Binzhou. Each oxen is worth about 4,000 guan, and a total of 2,000 guan is required. Moreover, oxen can be used for twelve years, and the cost of 330 guan per year is only 3,300 guan. There are also plows, hoes, sickles, water wheels and other utensils, and the total cost is only 5,000 guan, and all can be used for more than ten years. In this way, if you are in the Baiquan Military Station, the cost is only less than 15,000 guan. Compared with the income from the military station, you can say that one oxen and one oxen will be ten profits."
Hearing this, Duan Xiushi couldn't help but nodded, then stretched out his hand and begged Gao Yue to talk about the specific regulations on military farming.
"After the festival, the salt warehouse is exposed outside the city and is easily attacked by the enemy. The defeat of the Xiyan Ware in Mazhen in the past is a lesson. Now, the salt warehouse, armored warehouse, granary and stable can be built in the four corners of the city, and each sets up a Wutai to guard it. Then, the beacon shops, city walls and soldiers of Lianyun Castle are expanded. As long as Lianyun Castle is protected, Xifan will cross Qingshiling, every move is under our control, which can be called Kongmu, Jingzhou. The hundred springs are five
Ten acres are a garrison, and a total of 16 garages are established. All under the care of Lianyun Fort. Each four garage gathers one fort, and builds four forts, steam sand and soil, and sets up towers. One fort can be built for about twenty days (twenty days). Each fort is set up again, and the beacon can be built. It can be cultivated after being planted and protected by itself. It can also be set up beacon can be set up in Maayuan, which leads to Changwu City, and in the grass wall garrison of Tongfengxiang, and is in Shuofang and Longyou Army Palace as support. If the enemy comes to raise police, why not win?”
"Well!" Duan Xiushi was rarely excited.
