The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 360
The news that Shanyue was raging in Yuzhang finally got out, and when the fast horse galloped into the city, everyone knew that something big was about to happen.

However, in Shouchun City, the crowd didn't cause any panic because Yuzhang County is really far away from Jiujiang County.

Among the Ordnance Division.

Busy for half a day, noon is the time to rest.Naturally, Chen Ran will not squeeze the labor of these craftsmen without limit, this combination of work and rest is the long-term solution.

If you blindly oppress these craftsmen to do things, it may be counterproductive in the end.After all, what Chen Ran is looking for is quality, not just quantity. This Mingguang armor is for body protection. If something goes wrong in the end, it will kill the soldiers' lives.

At this moment, several craftsmen gathered together and chatted boredly. Such days are naturally extremely comfortable.They go to work on a set period and have a stable salary, which is many times better than before.

Although the requirements are a bit stricter, if you do things seriously, this is not a problem.

"Have you heard?" A tall and thin craftsman said mysteriously, "Shanyue in the south is actually attacking a city."

"Shanyue?" A sturdy craftsman was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Didn't they always fight with the government's well water? How could this happen?"

"I heard! Yuzhang's harvest was not good, and those Shanyue were robbed by thieves." The tall and thin craftsman explained.

Wu Tong just happened to pass by, he heard several craftsmen discussing, and he also showed some surprise, not because of anything else, he is from Yuzhang.

"Shanyue? How could this be?" Wu Tong muttered to himself, but he didn't interrupt, still listening curiously.

"Isn't that right? I've heard that those Shanyue captured several cities one after another, and they took all the men and women from them. A good city turned into an empty city!" Someone interjected.

"It's so miserable, but it's a real thing?" someone questioned.

Someone replied: "Of course it is true. Didn't you see that the envoy is already mobilizing the army in the city? I'm afraid he is already preparing to conquer these mountains."

"Do you know which county was captured?" Wu Tong listened, suddenly feeling a little anxious, and asked.

The person who was asked looked at Wu Tong with some hesitation, and said hesitantly: "It seems to be the county towns of Guangchang and Ningdu!"

Wu Tong's eyes widened immediately, he was from Guangchang County, how could he not be surprised when he heard that Guangchang County was breached?
Logically speaking, he was not affected in the slightest in Shouchun City at the moment, so he should feel lucky instead of being so anxious and shocked.

But at this moment, Wu Tong is really anxious, let's not talk about others, but his mother is still in the village, and the village is not far from Guangchang County, whether it has been affected, he has no idea .

But he didn't dare to think too much, and he didn't even dare to think about the benefits, Wu Tong's face became more and more frightened.His mother was his only relative, if something happened, what should he do, how would he explain to his dead father?
Wu Tong's face changed, he came suddenly, everyone looked at it in surprise, not knowing what happened to make Wu Tong look like this.

Wu Tong was disappointed and walked away. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do. He suddenly wanted to go back. Since you came here to gain a foothold in Shouchun City, he had saved some money in the past few months.Able to live in Shouchun City.

He can bring his old mother to Shouchun, so he doesn't have to be so frightened.

But he was afraid, he was afraid, what should he do if something happened to his mother when he went back.

Ever since, Wu Tong was in a mess.

Then, the messy Wu Tong met the messy third uncle of the Li family. Obviously, he also knew the news.

"Dalang, what should I do? These mountains are so cruel, and my whole family is in the village. If something happens..." He himself didn't dare to continue.

Wu Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I want to go back and have a look."

The third uncle of the Li family smiled wryly and said: "I asked, if it was before, you could still go back, but now, the envoy is recruiting troops to attack Shanyue, under such circumstances, it is impossible for us to leave Shouchun City."

The third uncle of the Li family sighed, and said again: "Even if we leave Shouchun City, what should we do? The two armies are fighting, and we are going to die?"

Wu Tong paused for a moment, then resolutely said: "No, I don't have a mother, I'll die too, I have to go back and have a look, I'm going to find the envoy."

The third uncle of the Li family was taken aback, but he didn't say much. He knew Wu Tong's stubborn temper. Now that he had made up his mind, he probably wouldn't change it easily.Maybe Wu Tong can really find some way.

……

The order to call up the army has already been issued to all the counties, including Zhou Cang and other generals, all leading the team to gather towards Shouchun City.The water army is also ready to go at Chaohu Lake, and can go straight to Yuzhang along the waterway at any time.

At the same time, the grain and grass in each county are also being rapidly mobilized.Although the harvests in Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County were not very good, the impact on the northern counties was not great.

Naturally, it is not a big problem to mobilize these grains.But this is only relatively speaking, if Chen Ran really wants to fight a protracted war, Yangzhou's current grain reserves may really not be able to support it.

This is not just two or three kittens, but tens of thousands of troops. After the first battle, countless money and food were spent.If Chen Ran only knows how to consume but not how to make money, Yangzhou will be dragged down by him sooner or later.

But fortunately, the current situation of making ends meet will change in a few months.

Chen Ran's hybrid rice is already the first wave of successful harvest.Chen Ran kept some of them for himself to taste, and the rest were all used as seeds to distribute to the common people.

Of course, these seeds are still not many after all, Chen Ran is mainly centered in Shouchun City, and radiates to the surroundings.

These seeds came out of nowhere, ordinary farmers were naturally unwilling to accept them, and Chen Ran was also helpless. He didn't want the benefits of sending them to his door?

Then Chen Ran thought of a way, which is to sign a contract with the farmers, and after the harvest, there are two ways to pay taxes.

One is that after the harvest, one-third of the harvest is directly paid to the government, and the rest is their own.

What?unwilling?That business, Chen Ran said, when the time comes, he will pay directly according to the size of the field and the market price, and the harvest will belong to him, and then he will follow the normal tax standards.

These farmers breathed a sigh of relief, saying that they would definitely choose the second method!Pay a third of the tax?Is it stupid?
At that time, who and who will know.
