The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 167

Originally, according to Fang Xuanling's calculations, the current grain in Changsha County can fully support the harvest of the first season of grain, and there is even a slight surplus, which can last for more than 20 days.

In fact, there are not many times allowed to go to war in a year. From February to April, and from September to November, there are only four or five months.After April, it was rainy in the south, especially during the rainy season. It rained almost every day. Not to mention that the march was hindered, the military rations were also prone to damp and moldy, and the dry rations carried on the body would be soaked.

Needless to say, July and August are the hottest time in summer, especially in the south. When wearing armor, after a day of exposure to the sun, there will basically be a large number of non-combat attrition.

Shi Hui didn't plan to fight after the autumn harvest, so he launched an attack around February.In the state of war, the consumption of military rations is always a completely different concept, and the consumption rate has increased significantly. If it is not replenished, the army will directly run out of food before the first season of food is harvested.

Shi Hui was not in a hurry, after all Lingling and Jiaozhou could provide him with food.However, transportation takes time, and far water cannot save near fire, so it is the best choice to eat from the enemy!

"In Wuling County, which noble families are friends with you, and which ones have never listened to your orders?" Shi Hui was not in a hurry to fight, but directly took Zhang Xian to the side and asked in a low voice.

"What is the general going to do?" Zhang Xian was not stupid, and immediately became vigilant when he heard these words.

"Don't be so vigilant, what I'm going to do is good for you!" Shi Hui's lips curled up slightly, "It's rare for me to come here once, so I will help you completely subdue all the families in Wuling County. By the way, I will pay back the debts owed by each family under the tax."

"The general is willing to help Zhang, I am very honored! But this tax, how to make up for it?" Zhang Xian did not relax because of this.It is said that he has expressed his loyalty to Shi Hui, but if what Shi Hui does will damage his reputation, then there is no need to discuss it.

It's not surprising that Shi Hui saw this.Most scholars value their own reputation, but this also shows that Zhang Xian has not really returned to his heart.However, he has no power at all to appoint a sheriff!Sending someone to say Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang County, actually had this consideration in mind!As for the attack on Wuling, the initial goal was to bring down Zhang Xian to the maximum!
"Haha, prefect Zhang has forgotten that I compiled this "Enlightenment by Counting"? If you want to check the accounts, Shi feels that there are not many people in the world who are proficient in this way than me! All you need is the prefect to provide the account books. Summon all those big clans, and naturally we can use excuses to clean up some disobedient ones, and at the same time recover some taxes by the way!"

"Miaozai, Miaozai!" Zhang Xian quickly figured out the key point, "Great general!"

If it is forced to requisition rations, or threatens and lures the other party to 'support' some military rations, it will inevitably be a bit ugly to spread the word.But if it is a normal 'audit', then the imperial court must be standing on the moral high ground, and there is no worries.

So without delay, I resigned immediately and went back to write a list.As for taxes, just one year's tax records are thick and stacked.Fortunately, Caihou paper was used, but if bamboo slips were used, it would have to be a thick pile.

"My lord, you shouldn't overdo it. These tycoons are married to each other, and the relationship is already complicated..." After handing over the things, Zhang Xian still didn't forget to remind him.

"I just hope they are interesting!" Shi Hui accepted the list and turned back to the camp.At this point, Zhang Xian couldn't persuade him to say anything, so he could only go back to the government office silently.

"It's been almost a year since I took office. I didn't expect that there are still so many tyrants who have not been subdued." Shi Hui returned to the barracks and checked the list with Li Yan. None of the three strongest tycoons had been subdued.What's interesting is that one of the families is the family of Hanshou county magistrate. "This family really has hands and eyes, and can actually let its children serve as county magistrates in their hometown."

"These are all centuries-old families in Wuling, and they have managed their connections intricately through marriage. As for Zheng Li being able to serve as the county magistrate in Hanshou County, it only shows that the imperial court has lost control of the place." Li Yan returned.

"The problem is that the county magistrate of Hanshou has already surrendered to us. It would be bad if we target their families again!" Shi Hui was a little embarrassed. It was a bit unreasonable to attack his family as soon as he subdued others.

"Zheng Li is Zheng Li, and the Zheng family is the Zheng family! This time, we must treat everyone equally, and no one can be spared, otherwise it will be bad for the Zheng family! But if Zheng Li cooperates, it will be easy to collect taxes and taxes." A lot!" Li Yan replied immediately.

"Well, I want Zheng Li to be a babysitter..." Shi Hui nodded, and he could probably guess Li Yan's intentions.As for the meaning of "Tuoer", I explained it to Li Yan briefly, and the latter nodded his head.

Without wasting time, he sent people out directly to summon all the tyrants and gentry on the list around Linyuan County.Shi Hui even met with Zheng Li overnight and talked with him in detail for an hour.During the period, the three marching master books, in cooperation with Li Yan, sorted out all the books. What is outrageous is that according to the meaning of Shi Hui, further false books were made.

On the third day, the tyrants who received the invitation sent people to the meeting one after another.As expected, the Zheng family sent Zheng Li.When he came to the army and saw the soldier's badge, he nodded vaguely and then sat down.

"It's almost time, and I don't want to wait for the rest. Thinking about it, there are still some people who don't take this general seriously?" After 10 minutes, seeing no one came again, Shi Hui didn't bother to wait, and directly announced the start.

Most of the invited tycoons came to the meeting. Three veteran tyrants came from the Zheng family and the Pan family. Only the He family did not send anyone. At the same time, there were two middle-level families who had a strong relationship with the He family.

"The meaning of summoning everyone is very simple!" Seeing that the guests have arrived one after another, Shi Hui sat in the first place and looked down at the people in the first place, "One general, as the general of Zhennan, wants to recover Jingzhou for the imperial court and crusade against the rebels. Thief Liu Biao, it's just that the army is short of food!"

"The Zheng family is willing to subsidize two thousand shi of food!" Zheng Li immediately stood up and directly offered to support Shi Hui's food.

"Haha, I would be very relieved that the Zheng family has this awareness! But I am going to raise troops for the great man, how can I collect food at will?" Shi Hui came down, stretched out his hand to press down, and motioned Zheng Li to sit down, "So I found Taishou Zhang and asked him how much food he can support? The prefect said that this year's tax revenue has dropped, and after paying the previous deficit, there is no more food left."

After clapping his hands at this point, someone naturally brought over the account book, and Shi Hui took the opportunity to continue: "I don't believe it, let him take out this year's account book and check it. It turns out that it is not right, the number is wrong!"

Speaking of this, all the rich and powerful families who attended the meeting suddenly felt a 'thump' in their hearts.Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that the real purpose of Shi Hui's invitation to them is probably in these books.

"The day before yesterday, I sent out to check the cultivated land in the surrounding counties, and combined with this account book, I found that the problem is a bit bad. Each family has part of the money and food, which has been missed!" Shi Hui pointed to the account book, looked at each family, Said with a smile.

"It really is like this..." Everyone immediately understood that Shi Hui really planned to do something about the old taxes and extort a sum of money from them.Those who have ghosts in their hearts are naturally a little uneasy, and they feel at ease to pay all the food and wages. Let's see what tricks Shi Hui is going to play.

　The Pan family is the family that Pan Jun belongs to, at least that's how it is set up. According to records, Pan Jun is from Hanshou County, Wuling County!The problem is that Pan Jun should still be a child now...
