20. Jointly and provincially
Hearing this, Gao Yue hurriedly knelt down and got up with Xiao Yi's head:
"This judgment of A and B is true for the whole world, but it has not yet reached the point of life and death."
"Yi Song is now in charge of the country and holds the power of thousands of troops, so he naturally doesn't have to be at stake." Xiao Yi was naturally a smart guy and immediately understood what Gao Yue meant.
"But it is also very important to meet the meeting. This determines what I and Brother Jingzhi will gain in the future." Gao Yue remained silent.
"Yi Song just plans the world of the lake and sea, and it's just a matter of business, and I don't need to worry about it." Xiao Yi bowed and said.
Then the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Sheng Qiang Baicao Army!" Gao Yue shouted with his arms raised.
"Ji Qiang Xingyuan Mansion!" Xiao Yi immediately responded.
In May of summer, all counties in Xingyuan Prefecture were shining brightly. The harvest season for winter wheat was coming. Taking advantage of such a good weather, the Yin-Yingyuan Gaoyue quickly issued a document and printed it with bamboo paper. You Yi from each county rode a fast horse, stood up a wooden thorn at the heads of each township and village, and posted it on it, warning farmers not to delay the day of harvesting wheat. If the harvest was too late and the rain came, the wheat grain was soaked before it could be harvested and the hard work of that year would turn into "suffering".
So, first, the troops stationed in Shanheyan and Chiyaguan took the lead, and then the people of the whole mansion also mobilized. People carried sickles, Mai Chuo, brothers and sisters, father-in-law and sister-in-law in the fields, all of which were walking side by side, covering the northern dams and the south hills, carrying the scorching sunlight and facing the fragrance of the wheat waves, mowed the "yellow clouds and wheat seas" in the high fields one by one, and piled up in Tuen Mun or outside their homes. Children and widows could also follow the bamboo baskets or calf carts for transporting wheat, pick up the fallen wheat grains, and go back to make delicious cooked cakes to eat.
The soldiers in the military camp were fighting to pick up wheat, comparing each other with more strength.
The winner in the end was naturally Cai Fengyuan, a soldier who had more than all the soldiers, and was a well-deserved strongman.
The one who was most unwilling to give up was of course Guo Zaizhen, who was always competing with Cai Fengyuan. He carried the wheat bundle with a shoulder pole while everyone was watching and cheering, and weighed five dou each in front and back. It was exactly one stone (one stone in the Tang Dynasty was 53 kilograms now, about 100 kilograms). Without changing his shoulders, he walked five miles in one breath and arrived at Chiya Cang - but Cai Fengyuan was able to carry three dou one stone!
Guo Zaizhen was defeated.
After returning, Yuwen Saijin saw that her husband's shoulders and neck were swollen and deformed, and felt extremely distressed. She went to Gaoyue's house to ask Yunshao, Yun and his sister for herbal medicine to apply.
Although Guo Zaizhen recovered later, his neck had some sequelae and was skewed halfway.
After harvesting the wheat in Xingyuan Prefecture into the warehouse, it was indeed as Gao Yue was worried. Dark clouds floated from the Baoxia Road and Luogu Road to the north, and a few severe rains fell, but the wheat in Xingyuan was not lost at all. The people and soldiers sighed that Da Yin was indeed as expected and deserved to be the person whom Empress Zhaode sent a dream.
After the rain, the water slabs in the desert ponds of Baishui were rotating endlessly. The temples in Huguo Temple charge money for milling classes to provide milling for wheat from the military and civilians. The "study money" in the temple is much cheaper than those of the wealthy families in Xingyuan, and in the end the wealthy families had to lower the price to make money from the water slabs.
After a while, the military and civilians worked together to flatten the high fields that planted wheat, set up water trucks, dig out ridges and ditches, introduce rivers and water to irrigate, and rush to plant late rice.
After everything was safe, first, the wheat was abundant, second, Gao Yue presided over Xingyuan Mansion, and asked Liu De’s room to formulate a balanced rent-loss method and a trash method. Third, the Huguo Temple of Monk Mingxuan also provided relief to poor households who were not able to save themselves: Therefore, Xingyuan Mansion and even the states under the jurisdiction were all full, with the soldiers and soldiers filling their stomachs, brewing wine and cutting flesh, hanging water wheels on the wall, singing and dancing in groups, preparing for clubs and playing, and drunken peace.
In midsummer, among the piles of wheat straw everywhere in Chiya Pass, amid the intense drum sound, the "shooting Zongzi" drama of the soldiers and civilians of Xingyuan Prefecture began.
Previously at the Dragon Boat Festival, Hanchuan under the city of the city had held a "crossing" competition. Gao Yue introduced the customs of Chu in the south and ordered the light boats built in the mansion to plant a red flag and set a three hundred pillars of lottery. Amid the cheers of the crowd, several light boats rushed towards their destination like lightning. The so-called destination was the Hanchuan Transportation Courtyard building near the water, with a bamboo pole on it and a ribbon hanging on it.
The people shouted in the thunderous cry. The light boat that rushed to the destination first, raised the oars, and proudly picked down the ribbons. Those who arrived later could only sigh in disappointment.
And at this time, there is another shot of rice dumplings:
On the open ground under Chiya Pass, a "tu River" that stretches through hundreds of steps was built. Every section of the stack mark was erected. There were plates on the stack mark, and small corn dumplings were placed in the plate. Then the soldiers used horn bows and women used small bows to shoot arrows in order to shoot the dumplings.
But this is not so easy to shoot? The rice dumplings are not only small, but also smooth, so they all fall off the target, causing people to laugh.
Finally, even Gao Dayin, who was in the purple goldfish bag, also had fun with the military and civilians, and his wife Cui Yunshao and his sister Cui Yunhe, and led the generals and subordinates in the military palace and their families to shoot the rice dumplings under the sound of drumbeats.
The winner of the "Military Mansion Team" was Yuwen Saijin. She finally made up for her husband's regret when picking wheat. She drew fifteen arrows and won four balls of rice dumplings, making the first move.
But the military unit was not enough to see the military troops who came from Minghuaiyi's city. Minghuaiyi drew fifteen arrows and scored nine in a row. Minghuaiyi's sister-in-law was of course his current concubine, and he also scored seven in a row when he shot fifteen arrows.
This lively and boiling scene made the 1,500 recruits recruited along Hanchuan stunned.
Most of this group of recruits are from Shandong and Jingnan, and a small number are from Qianzhong Prefecture.
They were settled in the barracks, paid their wealth and food, and after shooting the rice dumplings, they gathered under the Chili with the veterans of the Baicao Army in the sun. Gao Yue, the Great Yin and the governor of Xingyuan, stood on the high pile of wheat straws and gave them important speeches.
Those who are far away and cannot hear clearly must stand in place and then be conveyed clearly by their superiors after returning to the camp.
What Gao Yue said was the military reform of the Baicao Army, "The Confession of the Change of Officials and the Generals of the Governors to Generals (Shooting) Soldiers and Joint Ventures and Provincial Soldiers".
Gao Yuexian said that our Xingyuan Army had 20,000 soldiers (actually 18,000,000, the reason was not detailed). Now that Guan Jian was abolished, the division of the earth group was changed to 8,000 soldiers and 12,000 soldiers. The generals no longer had to be stationed in the farmland and were concentrated and stationed seven miles outside the city. This is called "joint camp".
Then there was the military service. Gao Yue said that the entire Baicao Army and the original land units of various states (unity), who were over fifty years old, were weak and injured, would all be divided into shares from the military camp and granted their land for eternal dynasties. Since then, they have been "exempted for the people" and the missing part of the military quota will be filled by the new recruits.
One joint venture and one provincial army have brought great shock to the entire Xingyuan army.
