- With the huge harvests twice a year, Jiangnan has truly become a land of plenty. The mountains of food there are already nowhere to be disposed of. Except for the large amount used for brewing wine and feeding livestock, there is still a huge surplus every year.
A few years ago, people came from troubled times and were reluctant to waste a grain of food. But now we have to worry about how to dispose of the food.
In the past two years, the Jiangnan Army has tried its best to encourage the entire population to have children with supplies, but the population has only reached less than 10 million.
¡° Let these tens of millions of people eat freely every year. It is also impossible to consume all the food harvested from the fields cultivated by people in a fanatical mood. The abundant supply has made food in Jiangnan extremely cheap now, with a handful costing only 150 yuan.
So much so that the old people always lamented that even in the most fertile years of the Han Dynasty, the price of food was never lower than 200 qian per hu.
The sharp drop in food prices has caused the labor force that focuses on farming to gradually shift to other more profitable industries. Coupled with the gradual recovery of productivity in various industries, the supply of all daily necessities is becoming increasingly sufficient.
With more products, the corresponding prices will naturally be greatly reduced. To Jiangnan, only these Huns would regard these materials as treasures that are now as cheap as grass.
But they don¡¯t know that for the Jiangnan Army, it¡¯s not even worth the freight to transport these low-quality grains and ironware back. It would be more convenient to give the estimated value to the Huns cavalry in one lump sum and use it as part of the materials in exchange for the captured troops.
And when the trade routes were opened, countless discerning merchants poured into the barbarian camps everywhere with a large number of Jiangnan specialties. It is bound to take these common materials that are available everywhere, and their value will depreciate just as quickly outside the Great Wall.
Until, under large-scale trafficking, these things are not much more expensive than Jiangnan.
At this time, Sun Ce looked at Qubei who was bowing his head, with a smile on his face but thinking in his heart: "We must go through the chamber of commerce established by Wu Yong, the number one merchant in the Han Dynasty. We must control the quantity of merchants who go north to transport goods. .
"We can't let my merchants from Han Dynasty travel thousands of miles to deliver supplies to Hu Di, only to end up losing everything." This kind of unrestricted blind competition not only does no good to businessmen, but also does no good to people in the world.
Even if there are no restrictions on the trade of civilian goods, the Hu people must understand it. The hard-won truth that materials are precious! There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. Things that are too cheap will always make people not cherish them.
"We can't let the barbarians, who were living frugally and frugally, suddenly fall into the rice vat. That would really break them! Yes, a reasonable tax rate must be levied on materials shipped out of the country.
This can not only increase tax revenue, but also ensure that the price of supplies will not be ridiculously low. It is also a good safeguard for the hardworking and frugal habits of the people outside the Great Wall. Well, let¡¯s impose a 100% tariff for the time being! Consider tapering down later.
"Anyway, the cost of transporting rice to the outside of the Great Wall is at least 1,000 yen per bushel. Even if the tax is doubled, the cost of transporting grain to the outside of the Great Wall is only about 400 yen." For the sake of their own profits, those merchants will naturally adjust the selling price to a reasonable price.
With the original garrison, some Spark Battalion commanders will be sent to the border in the future. Even if someone wants to smuggle, it is just a matter of seeking death. Coupled with the gradual reduction of tariffs, food prices outside the Great Wall can undergo a smooth transition and remain at a high level. "
After arranging the cooperation with King Youxian in Qubei, he sent an envoy back to the court of the Huns with a personal letter from Qubei. The royal court is required to issue notices to all tribes to prepare for trade. And do the important task of protecting the Han caravans along the road.
You know, according to the agreement, if the Han merchants have an accident outside the Great Wall. Not only did the Xiongnu royal court have to pay for the losses, but they were also responsible for hunting down the relevant murderers. The most critical thing will definitely affect the Han Dynasty. At this time, it has a relatively tolerant policy towards the right Xiongnu.
This is a scene that Qubei, who has already made up his mind, and the elders who are still far away in the royal court absolutely don¡¯t want to see.
Countless warriors outside the Great Wall, in order to break through the small passes between the two mountains. For the rich products of thousands of miles of splendid mountains and rivers far away in the Central Plains. After generations of accumulation, no matter whether it was the Huns cavalry or the Hu tribes, countless lives and blood were sacrificed.
Now that there is such an opportunity in front of us, Hu people¡¯s dreams can be realized with almost no effort. I'm afraid that any far-sighted Hu man would hope to realize it and maintain it conscientiously at any cost.
At Sun Ce's request, the Huns cavalry followed Qubei's order and temporarily stored a large amount of harvest in the temporary camp. The Eight Thousand Knights, who had not suffered much damage, began to implement the second step of cooperative action agreed in advance.
The Jiangnan Army is facingAfter the execution of the first-class Hu people began, they led a large group of people, including the Huns cavalry, through the execution site one by one. The sound of the fire knife slicing and burning the flesh while cutting through the flesh.
Amid the curls of green smoke, the smell of burnt meat floated in the air. The tortured leaders made sounds of struggle in extreme fear and pain from their blocked mouths. The timid Hun cavalry did not dare to stay on the execution ground for a moment.
These Hu cavalrymen understood that this was the last warning given to them by the Jiangnan Army. If they, the Huns cavalry, continue to do what they did in the past, they would dare to hurt the merchants and common people of the Han Dynasty. This extreme torture of life and death is their fate.
" Chen Dao's team was left to deal with the prisoners according to the previous regulations. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu immediately took all the generals and 10,000 cavalry soldiers and rushed to Tutang at full speed, a vast area north of the Chao line.
This is the historical Three Kingdoms period, near the dividing line between Wei and Wu.
That was the best ambush battlefield set up based on the marching routes of the Yuan and Cao armies. The 150,000 heavily armed Jiangnan Army had already secretly sneaked in through the Chaohu Waterway. And a large net was opened toward the north along the plains around the official road.
The wide plains and dozens of miles of desolate fields are perfect places for large-scale battles. According to the plan of the Yuan and Cao armies, the Hu people's cavalry was required to coordinate the attack on Liyang three days later.
Occupy the last stronghold in Jiangbei as the headquarters of the general offensive. In order to launch an offensive against Jinling on the other side of the river, save Emperor Xian and achieve their strategic goals. As long as Emperor Xian is in hand, they will naturally be able to make Emperor Xian give orders willingly.
Calling on all the aristocratic families and common people in the world to come together to resist the "tyranny" of the Jiangnan Army! The truth is always on the side of the winner. As for whether what the Jiangnan Army implemented was tyranny, that was only in the victor's mind.
In the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion in Hefei City, Cao Cao, who had just led his army into the city, was sitting quietly on a chair. After the war with Yuan Shao, in just one year, Cao Cao's originally black and shiny hair turned obviously gray.
It can be seen that the pressure he has been under during this year is also extremely great. If Xu You hadn't sent a fire to Yanjin and Wuchao. Today's Cao army is probably still struggling and fighting under the pressure of Yuan Shao's army.
Even so, compared with the purely numerical military strength of the Yuan and Cao armies, the Yuan army still had a slight upper hand. As for the actual combat effectiveness, no one can make a conclusion until there is a decisive battle.
After all, in war, strength and planning are the main ingredients. But luck also has a huge influence. Who can guarantee that the perfect plan that you rack your brains to come up with will be ruined by a strong wind or heavy rain!
At this moment, Cao Cao was holding the tea cup in his hand. It had gradually cooled down, but he just stopped there and thought about it. It's been a moment since he got the tea cup, but he didn't bother to take a sip of tea.
On the round stool he set down, the eldest son Cao Ang sat upright and waited there. His father didn't speak. Cao Ang never took the initiative to interrupt his father's thinking. This was a habit he had developed over the years.
After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao finally turned his attention to his increasingly stable son, with a glimmer of satisfaction and kindness in his eyes.
Cao Cao was very satisfied with the performance of his eldest son since joining the army, but as a father, he still said in a serious tone: "Zixiu! Have all the soldiers in our army been arranged? The war is imminent, but we can't go out. What a mistake!
This battle not only determines the fate of our army, but also determines the general trend of the world! You have to be careful! "
Cao Ang, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, finally reacted like a robot that had received an order. But he raised his eyes and looked at Cao Cao. Facing his majestic father, he opened his mouth hesitantly, but did not answer immediately.
Cao Cao certainly knew what his son was thinking about his unusual behavior. There was a slight darkening on his face, and he said sadly: "Zixiu! You still have some kindness as a woman! You must know that military and national affairs are important, the war is dangerous, and the kindness and tenderness in your heart cannot be tolerated!
Your father knows these feelings! When governing a country, kindness is very necessary. However, it absolutely cannot exist in a war before the country is determined. Because the enemy facing you is the enemy who wants to destroy you and your entire family! "
"But father, no matter what, the Sun family in Jiangdong can be regarded as our relative's family. And if they didn't give us so much support at the beginning, we would not be able to sustain the Yuan family's offensive!"
"Father, I still think that fighting against the Sun family, which has selflessly helped us, is not a good idea for our army!" "
"You! Bastard!" Being contradicted by his always loyal and submissive son made Cao Cao's face fierce.? She turned red and wanted to scold her son severely.
When he glanced at his eldest son, who had never stared at him so insistently, he sighed inwardly. But he did not maintain his anger, and his face still had such a calm expression.
"Zixiu! It seems that you love your wife very much! She is a daughter of the Sun family. Alas! But have you forgotten that my father once told you that there can only be one ruler in this world! And we The Cao family may not have a chance if they are involved!"
