Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1696 Transformation

When Feiqian was engaged in the school competition in Pingyang with great fanfare, Zhao Yun in Yinshan was already arranging various affairs, and he tried his best to arrange all the affairs properly, because Zhao Yun would soon have to set off.

  In Yinshan, there are mainly three aspects of affairs, one is the settlement of the people, the other is the military training, and the other is the affairs related to the Hu people.

As for the villagers, according to the Han system, it is natural that the registered households are Qimin. This matter is because most of the refugees on the Yinshan side are granted land, so there is already a picture book, so it is not very difficult to collect taxes according to the picture book. The problem is Because with the population competition in Yinshan, the land has been developed from raw land to mature land, and the grain production and grain varieties are constantly increasing. Zhao Yun and Ma Yue's rough handling methods can't keep up with professional civil officials, so This time, Pei Mao from Hedong took up the post of Prime Minister of Yinshan, who was responsible for people's livelihood and government affairs, which relieved Zhao Yun's burden a lot, and also allowed Zhao Yun to leave these government affairs for the time being and concentrate on military affairs.

The Pei family and the Fei family were actually a family in the Spring and Autumn Period, but they were separated later, so the relationship is naturally closer than usual. Now that the Hussar General is more and more powerful, the Hedong Pei family is naturally They are getting closer and closer, so even though Yinshan is not a good place for prosperity, Pei Mao still comes, and he is diligent and diligent, without any complaints, because Pei Mao also knows that Yinshan is very important.

   If you want to compete for the world, the natural food and grass come first. If you don’t have money and food, how can you fight for the world?

And now under Hussar General Fei Qian, the food and grass potential of Pingyang River East is basically fixed. Although Guanzhong is gradually recovering, there are many people in Guanzhong itself, and there may be more people in the future, so the additional Yinshan production area is natural. It is very important, and now in the Yinshan Mountains, both the grain output and the types of grain are much more than in previous years. Different grains require different storage methods, which is naturally not what Zhao Yun or Ma Yue are good at.

  Therefore, as soon as Pei Mao came, he immediately started to rectify the warehouse. On the one hand, he planned manpower and prepared for the autumn harvest. Pei Mao didn't come alone, he also brought some children from the family, and he immediately made the civil affairs of Yinshan look decent and impressive.

I have to say that although the aristocratic families have this and that problem, they really cannot do without these aristocratic children these years. Those who graduated from the Pheasant University often have a big gap in terms of vision, experience, and dealing with people.

Here in Yinshan, the refugees come from a variety of sources, not only from various regions and districts, but also from "conscientious" people. In addition, they are mixed with the Southern Huns, so they are also a little confused. Now Pei Mao naturally can't see it, and sorted out the folk register again. This is not a matter of simple sorting. It also involves many affairs in the countryside, such as widows and loneliness, which must be arranged. At the same time, Pei Mao went deep into the villages and chatted with ordinary people...

Of course, this is also what officials of the people's livelihood in the Han Dynasty, such as county magistrates, should do. It's just that since Emperor Hanling started buying and selling officials, the index of many officials became the amount of money. Officials only focus on collecting money, and are not interested in and never do things that do not have money income. Therefore, no one is doing things like visiting people's livelihood. So now, Pei Mao, the Prime Minister of Yinshan, as a Qianshi official, can really squat on the ground and chat with the old farmer, which is considered pretty good.

  Some of the Pei family's children persuaded Pei Mao, saying that the muddy smell and the smell of the earth had tested his identity, "We should pay more attention to its prestige, and it is not appropriate to talk to the old peasants..."

Pei Mao got angry and scolded in public, "I used to live in Hedong, and my family was also poor. I often plowed the ridges with my relatives. Now, no matter how valuable it is, since I have a job, I need civil affairs! If you see mud, you will feel it is filthy, and you will be afraid of it. Shoes and socks, if you smell feces, you will feel smelly and fear that your clothes will be stained. If you see old farmers, you will feel dull and fear that you will lose silk and bamboo. How can you understand the people's sentiments when you are so far away from the people?! How can you know the opinions of the people and pass them on? Isn't it embarrassing? In a high position, the corpse is a vegetarian?!"

   Immediately, Pei Mao drove away the boy who said that he should "respect his prestige" and prevented him from staying in Yinshan. Regardless of whether this was a show, or whether it was done on purpose by Pei Mao, at least in this way, Pei Mao's image among the people of Yinshan was established, and the people of Yinshan gradually accepted Pei Mao.

Zhao Yun observed for a while, and secretly recorded some of Pei Mao's methods, and then he explained to Pei Mao: "The strategy of hussars farming, renting and taxation, labor rounds, brother Juguang needs I'm bothered... a certain army needs to be prepared now, and the general will also march soon..."

"Going to war?" Pei Mao frowned a little, not because Pei Mao dared to point fingers at military matters, but since he was going to go to battle, according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, it must be necessary to store food and grass for transfer, and it would also be necessary to recruit civilian labor and so on, not to say a few words It can be solved with words, which is almost equivalent to a big mess. Now it's autumn harvest, no matter from that point of view, it's not easy to deal with, so Pei Maocai is a little hesitant and embarrassed.

  It was the custom in the Han Dynasty that labor was apportioned locally. Soldiers went out to the battle. Even if the labor was one out of ten, a large number of people and labor force would be mobilized. If the scale of the battle was larger, maybe more people would be needed...

Zhao Yun smiled. He knew what Pei Mao was worried about, so he explained: "Brother Juguang doesn't know... This time, the troops will be eaten by the enemy... and the Xiongnu Wuhuan will be used as two wings, so there is no need for extra civilian labor to accompany you... "

   "Eating from the enemy? Oh, so it is!" Pei Mao was stunned, and suddenly admired. "A certain one didn't think of it! The general really thought about it..."

  Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "This is the order of the hussars, I just followed the order..."

  Pei Mao immediately picked up, saying: "General Hussars strategizing, we are beyond my reach!"

  Zhao Yun smiled, and did not continue to talk about this topic, but said: "Brother Juguang may not have seen Shan Yu yet, it is sunny today, so how about a certain colleague coming to visit? It will be easy to get along with in the future..."

  Pei Mao naturally readily agreed.

   The two ordered guards and walked westward, gradually leaving the place where the Han people criss-crossed the fields, and entered the boundary of some Hu people's tents.

In the past few years, the Southern Huns have gradually begun to learn from the Han people to settle down and grow crops, so Pei Mao came all the way and saw many Hu people opening fields in front of and behind the tents and planting some crops. In the mature period, there are still some Hu people working among the crops. If you don’t look at the tents and cattle and sheep sheds on the side, you just look at the scene of them working among the crops and crops, and there is almost no big difference from the Han people.

Seeing this, Pei Mao frowned, and said to Zhao Yun: "Here, the Xiongnu are so concerned about farming and mulberry? They are like the Han family. I am afraid that they will be the same as the Han people... If so, in the future... We shall have nothing to trade..."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment. He had never considered this issue before. Hearing what Pei Mao said, he seemed to feel that there was some truth in it. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and finally said: "This is a policy of enlightenment... "

   "Hu people, barbarians, after all..." Pei Mao shook his head, and said, "Hussar's strategy is too gentle... After a while, I will go to the table to make a remonstrance..."

  Zhao Yun did not express his approval or objection. After all, this was Pei Mao’s own business. It was also the responsibility of a serious local official to write a letter to Hussar General Fei Qian if he had any ideas, so it was understandable for Pei Mao to say so.

   While marching, suddenly a group of Hun cavalry came from a distance, and slowed down at three or four hundred paces, and the leader even shouted loudly: "But General Zhao is here?"

  Zhao Yun said with a smile: "The boss of the bald rose! That's right, I'm here! Do you have good wine there?"

Tu Gui came laughing, obviously very happy with Zhao Yun's directness, and ordered his men to go down and report to Shan Yufulo of the Southern Huns, while walking forward to greet him, "Let's go! Go to my tent first! Good wine! There must be good wine!"

The last time Tugui came to Youzhou with Zhao Yun, Ganfeng and others. Although he did not directly attack the territory of Youzhou, he also got a lot of Yuan Jun's armor, knives and guns. , It is not a small gain, and in fact there is not much damage to the personnel along the way, so seeing Zhao Yun is naturally very cordial and enthusiastic.

  Zhao Yun introduced Tuguilai to Pei Mao, so they gathered in one place and turned to Tuguilai's pasture. By the time they arrived at the tent of Tuguilai, the men of Tuguilai had put down several cattle and sheep, set up a dozen piles of bonfires, and many people came out with bags of kumiss...

  Vulture laughed and waved his arms: "Go and drag two more cows! And wine? How can this be enough? Go get it, go get it! Take it all out!"

  Pei Mao was a little dumbfounded.

   "If we wait for the country to be strong... that's how it is..." Zhao Yun saw Tugui coming over, and then said, "Brother Juguang, sit down, you're welcome..."

Tu Guilai, who turned around, just heard the second half of Zhao Yun's sentence, nodded and laughed loudly: "Yes, yes! Don't be polite, don't be polite! Come! Drink this first! Eat some of this too , this is also good!"

  Pei Mao couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart, he also laughed, and picked up the wine bowl, "This glass of wine is to Huqi...well, and to your Shanyu..."

  Vulture also excitedly raised the wine bowl, dipped it with his finger, flicked it twice, which represented a respect to heaven and earth, then held it up and shouted in Hun language, and drank it down.

   After drinking a few more bowls, Tu Gui couldn't bear it any longer, and asked straightforwardly: "General Zhao, are you going to send troops again? This time, go to Youzhou?"

  Zhao Yun came here originally to find Yu Fuluo to ask for soldiers, so he didn't hide anything after hearing the question from Tugui, so he nodded and said, "That's right, what's the matter, are you going this time?"

"Of course I'll follow! It must be me!" Tu Guilai patted her chest with joy, then couldn't help standing up, and shouted a few words to the clansmen beside her, which immediately attracted the attention of the clansmen The enthusiastic response was like celebrating the Chinese New Year, full of festive flavor.

  Pei Mao looked at it, with a slightly thoughtful look in his eyes.

Because the places where the Southern Huns were stationed were relatively scattered, even if Tugui came and informed Yu Fuluo, Yu Fuluo would not be able to arrive immediately, so Zhao Yun and Pei Mao came here for the time being. They stayed in the tribe and waited for Yu Fuluo's arrival.

Zhao Yun drank three bowls, then stopped immediately, and began to eat and drink. When the food and drink were almost done, he told Tugui that he wanted to rest, and he called a fellow who was more able to drink to accompany Tugui to drink for a few rounds. Leaving the bonfire dinner in Tu Guilai with Pei Mao.

Tu Guilai didn't take it seriously, and didn't force Zhao Yun to fight for wine, and if he really wanted to act with Zhao Yun this time, naturally he couldn't rely entirely on his drinking skills. There were still some things to prepare for in the clan, so After Zhao Yun and Pei Mao left, it didn't last long, and when it was almost over, they left the venue and each took a rest without mentioning it.

  Pei Mao thought about it, and was still puzzled. Finally, he couldn't help but asked Zhao Yun: "General Zilong, are all the Huns like this? So... quite happy when they hear the battle?"

  Zhao Yun said: "It's not entirely true. When I went to Youzhou before, the Huns were also a little hesitant... This time, hehe, most of them are driven by profit..."

   "What?" Pei Maohui misunderstood, frowning and said, "Do you need us to pay more?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "The food and salaries are given, but most of them are raised by themselves, and there is no additional allocation..." There will be a wave when they set off, which is probably the meaning of the settlement fee. How much you earn back is the business of the Huns themselves, and they will not give more food to the Huns.

   "What? Really? In the past" Pei Mao was stunned, unable to believe it.

Pei Mao remembered that in the fourth year of Zhongping, because Zhang Chun was not angry because he was not reused by Zhang Wen, he rebelled with Zhang Ju and some people in Wuhuan, disturbing the borders of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liaodong. At that time, there were more than 100,000 people gathered in large numbers, and they plundered everywhere. The imperial court did not have any extra troops at that time, so they conscripted Hedong and recruited a part of the Southern Huns to cooperate in countering the rebellion. People don't seem to be so excited and cooperative...

  The Huns were also recruited for assistance, but the attitude of the Southern Huns seems to be completely different. What has changed? And on the whole, it seems that there is less food and other things for the Southern Huns, but the Huns are happier?

  Pei Mao was thinking, unable to calm down for a long time...
