Three Kingdoms

Chapter 588 Pingyang Strategic Reserve

Fei Qian, who returned to Pingyang City, did not immediately start preparations for the battle with Xianbei. Instead, he had to arrange the backlog of government affairs and some related production matters before he could concentrate on the battle.

Just like the real-time strategy games of later generations, when the soldiers advance forward, it is often the best time to open new mines in the base camp. At the same time, the production sequence within the barracks must be arranged. Otherwise, after the soldiers in front have been defeated, you will look back and accumulate He acquired tons of minerals but had no soldiers, and then he was brutally ravaged by the opponent's three or five soldiers but could only stare...

details make a difference.

This is the most profound sentence that Fei Qian understood in later generations.

In the Han Dynasty, these related knowledge and experiences had to be taught individually within the family. Some knowledge would even be kept strictly confidential and should not be taught lightly unless it was passed down directly or directly.

The most classic examples are Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei.

Although both of them are on the Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei is obviously several levels behind in terms of control ability at the rear. Although he has some qualifications, status and other factors, for a wise general, these things should not be done. Repeated falls under similar circumstances.

Therefore, regarding the issue of employment, Fei Qian and Du Yuan also said that you can make mistakes, but you cannot make the same mistake a second time under the same or similar circumstances.

Du Yuan is mainly responsible for the logistics management of the entire Fei Qian Army. When there was a shortage of manpower in the early stage, he used Fei Qian's method and selected a number of ordinary people to join the lower-level officials for operation. It took more than a year to calculate. Time has passed, then it’s time to carry out relevant sorting and assessment.

Fei Qian looked at the accounts and the staff roster, and then said: "This is going to be like this for the time being. After the Xianbei matter is resolved, we will determine a specific employee assessment standard... Well, the staff inspection standards, Wenzheng you Now it’s enough to have a rough idea in mind.”

Du Yuan accepted the promise with his hand, then took the account book, bowed and left.

Fei Qian can be almost 100% sure that there must be dirty hands and feet among the grassroots officials here, but there is no air traffic control now, and it is not yet time. After the battle with Xianbei is over, he can seize the victory power. Then use force to suppress them, clean them up, and then establish a system. It should be able to support it for a period of time and no one will dare to reach out.

Du Yuan is pretty good at logistics, but this official doesn’t know what he can do to give Du Yuan a sneak peek in advance. In fact, one is to lay the groundwork, and the other is to conduct experiments. If there is any news, then...

Zao Zhi came next. It looked like he had been running outside these past few days and seemed to have tanned a little more. There is no way, now the only one who is in charge of mulberry farming is Zao Zhi, who is relatively professional, so even the mission to Yuan Shao can only be postponed, at least until the autumn harvest is low, and Zao Zhi will have some free time. …

"Zijing, didn't you wear a wide-brimmed hat? Look at how tanned you are..." Fei Qian said with a smile.

"What hat?" Zao Zhi was a little confused.

Fei Qian suddenly remembered that in the Han Dynasty, there were hoods, felt hats, and various crowns, but there seemed to be no wide-brimmed straw hats with sun protection...

Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Well, I'll let someone make one for you another day, with sun protection... How are the harvest statistics this year?"

The standards for acres between the Qin and Han Dynasties were all different in size, with side lengths ranging from 160 to 240 steps, and yields per mu were often calculated using a variety of mixed units. Although officials repeatedly emphasized that agriculture was the foundation of the country, The vast majority of officials themselves are not very interested in things in farmland, so most of them have only a little knowledge. In addition, they like to simplify the use of words and denominators, which gave Fei Qian a headache at the beginning.

Now between Pingyang and Yong'an City, Fei Qian has stipulated that the measurement and calculation should be based on the standard of large acres, which is more convenient and unified.

Speaking of the harvest, Zao Zhi was obviously very happy and said: "The old canal in Pingyang is very useful for irrigation, and the surrounding crops are good. In addition, the ones in Yong'an are also good, but there are many Puzi mountains and the fields are thinner... But overall I think this year’s harvest should be pretty good!”

Zao Zhi motioned for Fei Qian to look at the number at the end of the book.

Fei Qian looked at it, made some calculations, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He smiled and said: "It seems that we need to seize the time to build a few warehouses..." Fortunately, Pingyang's household registration has not yet been included in the Han Dynasty. In the system, it means that all the food turned in by the people working in Pingyang, well, all of it is in their own pockets.

This feels good.

"But..." Fei Qian said, "Zijing, you may need to organize some manpower as soon as possible. For those that are gradually mature, you must harvest those that can be harvested first... Although Xianbei is not a big problem, but just in case... ...We also need to send people to garrison the fields, mainly to prevent fires. Once the autumn harvest is completed, Zijing will have done a great job!"

Zao Zhi naturally nodded solemnly and said yes.

Looking at Zao Zhi's leaving figure, Fei Qian would have really wanted to have a drink to celebrate if it weren't for the fact that there was no alcohol in the main hall where the work was being done. The three county towns produced a total of nearly one million grains of grain, which was almost a great relief to Fei Qian. With the constant pressure on food and grass, we can save 300,000 to 400,000 dan of food and grass if we eliminate the rations for farmers and the army. This way, whether it is recruiting new soldiers or going on an expedition to the Yinshan Mountains, we have the most fundamental guarantee.

The grain and grass purchased before Fei Qian included compensation from the Wei family in Hedong, and even the grain stored by the gentry and wealthy people of Hedong's generation were plundered through relatively bad means through inflation. Although the amount of grain and grass purchased It is indeed a lot, but after all, it is non-repeatable and has a completely different meaning from the produce in your own field.

Now that Xianbei is moving south, although Fei Qian himself can directly seize the grain and grass that was originally to be handed over to the court as military ration according to the imperial decree, and can even issue orders to requisition grain and grass from Hedong Shangdang and other areas, Fei Qian knows in his heart that Orders are orders. After being plundered by yourself, if you want to seize some food from these local tyrants and evil gentry, it is really no less than God.

Therefore, the nearly 200,000 acres of newly reclaimed land near Pingyang City and irrigated by canals is the most fundamental guarantee for grain production. The Shangjun area north of Beiqu is mostly a folded area of ​​the Loess Plateau, which belongs to the Sussex Field. , even farming does not produce much output.

Therefore, the only basic reassurances are these grain and grass belts on hand now.

The most important thing is that only with sufficient food reserves can Fei Qian transform the military system into a full-time military system, and be prepared for irregular battles throughout the year...

Let’s talk about it here…

The ancient word "stone" is pronounced (dan). If you read it wrong, please stand on the left...

In ancient times, "stone" was divided into two units: one is weight, one stone is four jun, one jun is thirty kilograms; the other is capacity, one stone is ten dou...

Because it involves these things, after all, it is impossible to write a scientific article, accurate to the decimal point in logical reasoning...

So let’s just laugh it off and forget it…

Um?

Why don't you laugh?

If there is anything you are not happy about, you might as well say it to make everyone happy...
