MTL - The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family-Chapter 531 planning (two-in-one
"So, don't worry." Yan Huaiwen said softly: "It can be planned and planned slowly."
"Start small, strive for stability step by step, observe what you do and learn from it, and turn it into your own use... When you are competent enough to take on the affairs of the militia, who can compete with you!"
Yan Huaiwen saw that he still couldn't make a detour, and there were no outsiders in the house, so he simply made his words clearer: "Don't underestimate the small militia group of Huju. Heroes have been born from the ancient north. The men in Guanzhou are strong and fierce, brave and good at fighting. Standing up to protect the family again, I will not hesitate to fight.
Compared with the frontier army, the militia has obvious disadvantages. There are no strong generals, no salary, and the villagers are scattered, and there is no court supply.
Single ordnance war horse and these two things make it limited and unable to grow.
But now, I have iron in the tiger's seat, and I have been ordered to forge weapons by myself..."
Yan Huaiwen paused here. I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence, which aroused infinite reverie.
"Huju has been invaded by the Northern Army all year round, and the villagers are brave. In the past years, the frontier army often recruited strong men to the camp for training. They already have the foundation, and they only need a few months of hard training to see initial results.
In the event of a major war, the main force is still the frontier army, and the militia only needs to support it from the side. "
Yan Huaiwen turned his head to Master Tian and said: "My lord, Huaiwen still has one more thought about next year's spring plowing. If there are any deficiencies, please correct me."
"Huaiwen, please tell me."
I have to say that Master Tian and Yan Huaiwen are quite similar in some ways, for example, they can enter the state of work anytime and anywhere.
"Spring plowing is a major event. I have a shortage of labor, and there are countless barren fields but no one has cultivated them. Moreover, due to the climate, I only harvest one season a year. There is insufficient food, and it is not easy to support the population. Due to the prolonged cold weather, diseases breed and people's livelihood improves. It's difficult." Yan Huaiwen talked eloquently.
Master Tian nodded solemnly.
These are the difficulties that Huju and even Guanzhou are difficult to develop.
Yan’s second son was a little dazed, he talked about the militia, and then turned to the people’s livelihood.
Yan Yu was a little conscious, looking at her uncle with burning eyes, and of course she didn't miss her teacher's reaction.
By the way, Master, you are still covering your head now, do you know that, making such a serious expression, ahem, she bears it!
For such a moment, Yan Yu was a little out of character.
However, the conversation between the two quickly drew her attention back.
What is concentrated cannot be concentrated again.
"The soldiers are not moving, the food and grass go first!
Whether the people’s life is good or not depends only on whether they have harvested a few buckets of rice this year, and whether they are hungry..."
Having said this, Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but lament in his heart, the people's livelihood is so difficult, and what they can ask for is nothing more than this, but the word "full stomach" prefixed with "everyone" is so difficult!
"The militia recruits strong men, and spring plowing will inevitably be stretched, and if they are allowed to go home, their morale will be easily broken and sluggish. The hard work done before is in vain, and they have to start all over again.
Huaiwen wants to plan all the cultivated land in Huju as a whole, deploy cattle and farm tools in a unified way, and then send people to the countryside to check the grain types, and the militia groups will rotate and concentrate time to help the people in spring plowing everywhere...I don't know what Huaiwen thinks, my lord how about? "
Check the grain types, coordinate the land, cattle, farm tools, manpower...
Yan Yu's heart fluctuated.
Her uncle, really capable!
Based on the knowledge of an ancient, this consciousness is too advanced!
No, fundamentally speaking, her uncle is the protagonist in the book, so he should be so amazing, thinking what others can't think, thinking what others dare not think.
Master Tian frowned and said: "If you are in the same village, it's okay to help each other, and it's okay to borrow cattle for farming, and it's okay for adjacent villages, but as you said, all the arable fields where tigers occupy are included. There are so many things in the middle...the way is not enough."
"Teacher, what my elder brother thinks is that it's a little troublesome, but the trouble is only for the planners. It's actually not that difficult for the folks." Yan's second figured out what his brother meant.
He continued: "During the autumn harvest, Xiaoer and I went to the countryside to collect grain taxes. There are several remote villages with little land and few people, and no farm tools. There should be no farming cattle, and some villages also Not much, one end and two ends.
If you can do the calculations and use the oxen to plow first, you can save a lot of trouble, and the time for spring sowing will be greatly shortened. If the work is done ahead of time, everyone will be free, and they can be assigned to help in other places. Thank you! As far as the guys are concerned, they don't have to think so much, they just listen to the government's arrangements. "
Then you can plow the land for nothing? It is equivalent to exchanging labor.
The labor paid is almost the same, but unified planning has an advantage, which can greatly avoid the waste of labor.
As he said, after this matter is done, the people working below should do what they want, and the people above are the ones who are tired, and the work is detailed and heavy.
Yan's second child is particularly keen in accounting.
He felt that if this method was used well, some more wasteland could be opened up.
"Brother, if we really do this, do we still have the energy to open up wasteland?" This is his brother, so he asked if he didn't understand.
"I remember you told me that the cows in our village can lead the farmland after wearing nose rings?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
"Yes, you can walk away as soon as you pull the rope, but you are obedient." Yan Lao Er said.
Master Tian: "Even if there are a lot of cattle in Xiao'an Village, it is still not enough for the entire Huju."
Yan Huaiwen smiled lightly, and glanced at Yan Yu seemingly unintentionally.
Yan Yu received the signal instantly!
"There are cattle in Beirong!" Yan Yu's eyes lit up: "We brought dozens of cows, hundreds of sheep, and horses to one gathering place, and these are not considered leather..."
The harvest is too great, and you will get rich once you do it once!
"Bei Rong robbed us of our grain, so let's rob them of their cattle. They come to harm us, and we can't bear it, take them back!"
Yan Yu said a little excitedly, and the words became more and more dense: "We are so poor, and if we want the villagers to join the militia in the spring, we have to work hard to do ideological work. Who wants to leave home? Let the strong men in the family work and eat, and when the spring comes, as long as you work hard in the wasteland on the mountain, you can find a stutter, and there is no money for training in the militia... there is no money, uncle?"
Yan Huaiwen nodded.
said lightly: "The money and food are really tight."
Yan Yu clicked his tongue, and said again: "But it will be different if we can **** cattle, sheep and horses! Take a look at our village, people who have been there last time don't talk about getting rich, life is much easier anyway, especially cattle, Farming the land is too hard, and it is really different to have cattle, if our family does not have the Three Treasures, we will definitely not be able to develop those lands."
"Big brother wants to replace the strong men with cattle and let the militia go out of production?" Yan Er Er asked thoughtfully.
Yan Huaiwen praised: "The word 'off production' is well used."
"Isn't that the same as the frontier army?!" Yan Xiangheng blurted out.
Yan Huaiwen and Mr. Tian did not make a sound.
Yan's second child and Yan Yu's father and daughter exchanged frequent eye contact.
"Teacher, this is a virtuous circle." Yan Er Er carefully chose his words, good guy, he can't wait to mobilize all his brain cells at this moment.
Don't lie down, get up and work!
"We have a small number of people, so we use cattle to make up for it, open up more land, and grow more food. The villagers live a better life. Only when they have enough food and clothing can they raise more children. ...In the future, we will have more Huju people, how dare the Beirong come?"
Kill him to death!
Master Tian was noncommittal.
God bless this idea is too ideal.
It's not okay to only think about the good.
But he didn't refuse outright.
Yan Huaiwen's thoughts, it is a lie to say that he is not tempted.
He also believes that changing the status quo of Huju and increasing the population is the most important thing, and he has been working hard for this.
All policies are based on this.
But such a radical method was something he never dared to think of before.
"Bei Rong has bullied me in Guanzhou for a long time. It was a coincidence that they succeeded last time. If such things happen frequently, Bei Rong will definitely not ignore them. If winter comes, it will be inconvenient for them, but it will be difficult for us to fight." Tian Da The master said so.
"My lord, forgot Xizhou?" Yan Huaiwen hinted.
Master Tian still couldn't figure out the connection between the two.
"As far as I know, General Xue has already reported to request reinforcements." Yan Huaiwen said.
The frontier army was beaten to pieces, and Guanzhou had a limited number of strong men, making it difficult to recruit soldiers.
This is not the first time Xue Zongqi has reported it, and this is the reason.
How could he have no soldiers under his command? Huju is a border city, and the city was broken by Bei Rong. If he didn't send troops, he wanted Bei Rong to come in again?
Being anxious and angry for a while, he often ran to the government office, obviously to complain, but also to let Mr. Tian help him beat the side drum and talk about the difficulties of the frontier army.
Without new recruits, Huju really can't hold it!
Only in the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, the letter of approval was obtained, and the imperial court will conscript troops from other big houses and send them here.
Xue Zongqi stopped.
He is a person who does not stick to trivial matters, and there are always more ways than difficulties.
Huju didn't have enough soldiers on the frontier, and he had to go from Xizhou to Qishan on business all the way, so he left his old face and Longxing to borrow soldiers.
Long Xing’s end was really lent to him.
I don't know whether it is enough friendship or some benefits.
"Conscription after the year, it is heard that the prince has submitted a form, requesting the imperial court to make up the amount of troops owed by Guanzhou over the years."
Master Tian seemed to see the sun after the clouds: "What Huaiwen means is...the prince...is..."
Yan Huaiwen thinks exactly like this.
Xue Zongqi went to Xizhou to investigate for an excuse. They secretly reported the abnormal situation in Xizhou to the Wangfu.
Including agreeing to their request, building their own militia, and tacitly allowing Huju to purchase a large amount of iron from Xizhou, etc.
There is a difference in Xizhou, and the king of England dare not suppress it, and he can't report it publicly, so he can only report it secretly.
Just look at whether the Holy Majesty will accept Guanzhou's request for reinforcements, and you will know what you want.
If his expectations are correct, the imperial court will not only make up the number of soldiers, but also no longer procrastinate in awarding rewards to those who have killed the enemy.
This is also a sign of a change in wind direction.
Increase support for Guanzhou while not arousing suspicion in Xizhou.
So, God Bless really picked a good time.
Abandon literature and pursue martial arts, now is the right time!
…
On New Year's Eve, Yan Yu dragged his father up early and dragged him to make tofu.
"Father, how much did you understand what uncle said yesterday?"
It was late for them to go back to the house yesterday. Li Xuemei hadn't slept well these two days, always waking up after a short nap. It was rare for her to fall asleep, so the two of them didn't dare to make any noise.
Yan Yu kept holding back, and hurried to call her father out early in the morning to talk.
"Then I must have understood everything!" Yan Laoer looked like you underestimated someone.
Since we are here, we must not be idle, so the two of you talked while busy.
Yan Laoer scooped the cooked bean dregs into a cloth bag and hung them on the shelf.
Yan Yu held a wooden stick in each hand, twisted and squeezed skillfully to squeeze out the pulp.
"Then tell me about it." Yan Yu looked at him expectantly.
Yan Laoer coughed twice, and said with a straight face: "It's not like you're not here, you're also listening, what are you talking about, can we hear the difference?"
"Dad! Don't change the concept secretly, okay? What I'm asking is, do you understand what uncle said? How much do you understand?" Yan Yu continued to ask.
Yan Lao Er sneaked his back and rubbed his eyes, understood what he understood, he thought he understood, and when he came back to think about it, it seemed that there was another meaning, and when he thought about it harder, it seemed that there was something more, and then Thinking hard and thinking, the brain is not enough, and the paste becomes a ball.
I didn't fall asleep for a while all night, my mind was full of things, and I repeated the words of my elder brother and teacher over and over again.
But he must have understood the key points.
Brother asked him to join the militia and tormented the militia.
Go to Beirong to continue to grab cattle and sheep. Not only will there be cattle for farming, but it will also greatly relieve the financial pressure of the militia, and it will also mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers, killing three birds with one stone!
There is also the matter of spring plowing. With the cattle, he will lead a bunch of strong men from the militia to work around, and he will be able to occupy the existing good fields in a few moments. Haha, when the time comes, some wasteland will be opened up. There is no need to worry about the rations of the militia, which is the same as the military station of the frontier army.
"Your uncle wants to turn the militia into a frontier army without a number!" Yan Laoer whispered mysteriously.
Looking left and right, the voice is extremely low, for fear that no one will hear it.
Yan Yu looked at him, and whispered: "Father, we in Guanzhou don't care about soldiers and civilians. We will reward you for killing enemies. Where does this reward come from?"
Yan Laoer came here before opening his mouth: "It was given by the imperial court! Of course, we also posted a copy in Fucheng."
"The reward silver issued by the imperial court has never been enough, and the prince only took part of the output of the fiefdom to make up for it." Yan Yu said.
"You know?" Yan Er Er stared.
Can he not know about this? He often helps the teacher with work, so he knows a lot!
He thought that Yan Yu didn't know, but he didn't expect his elder brother to keep talking.
Say everything!
"We ordinary people will be rewarded with silver for killing Beirong. Except for the lack of military merits, it is not bad. Of course, our Huju is different. Xue Zongqi wants to win a hand in it. He only gives one tael of silver per head." Yan Yan Yu's tone was a little disgusted.
Yan Lao Er kindly added: "He doesn't like to give silver, if he gives copper coins, it's not enough for one tael."
"Yes, Mr. Xue is too much!" Yan Yujin complained a little bit with his nose, and didn't comment too much. Should I exchange money from General Xue or from my teacher?"
Yan's second child let out a cry, and suddenly realized!
"The militia was hired by the government. We support ourselves. All the expenses are paid by the government. Why should Xue Zongqi be in the middle? For sure, it must be your master who has the final say!"
"Then our militia, from a certain point of view, is equal to the frontier army?" Yan Yu finished neatly, unloaded the cloth bag, and poured out the bean dregs inside.
This is a good thing, people can eat it, and animals can eat it too.
The living creatures in the house like it very much, and it is very fragrant.
"From the point of view of money, we are not far behind. Others... are far away." Yan Laoer said: "He is a soldier, we are civilians, it is different."
"Father, you are so stupid! You said you understood!" Yan Yu sighed, and said, "Didn't my uncle say it at the beginning, you have no military merits, and you don't know how to fight with soldiers, but you said you can manage the internal affairs and logistics well." , but who knows? You must not be seen, the militia is your best stage.
Dad, I gave you all the skills, didn’t they all say that what you fight in war is the logistics, you can’t kill the enemy in battle, what’s the matter if you don’t know how to lead the army to fight, you just take care of the logistics and give us a stable rear , Let the big guys eat well, drink well, and practice strong. Let our hearts and strength go to one place, and no one will be able to do it..."
The brain-burning chapter, I will go through it again to see if there is anything missing, and whether the logical sentences are smooth~
Sorry everyone, I got stuck and repeated again. In order to keep full attendance, Zhai Zhai got thick-skinned again~
