Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 136 Carve up Yanzhou
Chapter 136 Carve up Yanzhou
Seeing that his reasons were untenable, Yuan Shao said immediately.

"Prefect Ye, why bother to be aggressive, how about you and I give in?"

Ye Xiao asked immediately when he heard Yuan Shao say that.

"Why do you give in to each other?"

Yuan Shao sat up straight and said to Ye Xiao.

"Shanyang and Jiyin counties belong to you, how about Dong County as your buffer and neither side can occupy it?"

Hearing what Yuan Shao said, Ye Xiao began to recall the topographical map of Yanzhou. Jiyin and Shanyang counties are in the north of Yuzhou, but these two counties are in the center of Yanzhou.

It can be said that it is the old nest of the Yanzhou family, and it will take a lot of effort for Ye Xiao to manage this place, not to mention other things.

"I can agree with everything else, but Chen Liu and Jiyin counties are my bottom line."

Chen Liu and Ye Xiao are sure to win, Chen Liu is located at the junction of Yingchuan and Yanzhou, and Chen Liu can go to Luoyang in the west, and go straight to Dongjun in the north.

Moreover, the place of Chenliu is not fat enough. You must know that Dong Zhuo demoted Liu Bian to Chenliu. If this place is not fat, how can it support an emperor.

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave. Looking at Ye Xiao who got up, Yuan Shao knew that if he didn't make a decision, Ye Xiao was going to leave.

"My lord, let's make a decision. As long as we have the right to garrison the East County, that's enough, and Ye Xiao has already given in, from four counties to two counties."

Tian Feng looked at the hesitant Yuan Shao and said.

"However, Chen Liu...

Tian Feng knew that Yuan Shao was reluctant to part with Chen Liu, seeing that Ye Xiao was about to leave, Tian Feng said anxiously to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, do you want to fight Ye Xiao?"

Yuan Shao was stunned by Tian Feng's question. He came here to fight the autumn wind. If he had the opportunity, he would grab a few pieces of land in Yanzhou with both hands. After all, Yuan Shao's main enemy at this time was Gongsun Zan, not Cao Cao or Ye Xiao.

"Of course I don't want to."

Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, Tian Feng interrupted.

"Since the lord doesn't want to, why are you still hesitating? Winter is about to begin. If this matter is not resolved, we will be facing Gongsun Zan and Ye Xiao in the spring."

In fact, Tian Feng was a little anxious when he said this. You must know that in ancient times, wars followed the farming season. Wars were seldom fought during the farming season in spring, and the general decisive battles were reserved after autumn.

"Spring? Does Ye Xiao dare to fight me in spring? Does he not care about farming?"

Yuan Shao caught Tian Feng's loophole and asked back, Tian Feng said anxiously when he heard Yuan Shao's words.

"My lord, is this the time to worry about this? Ye Xiao will leave if you don't make a decision."

Hearing what Tian Feng said, Yuan Shao looked up at Ye Xiao who was about to leave and shouted.

"Prefect Ye, wait, I agree to your terms!"

Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Yuan Shao and said.

"Okay, if that's the case, please brother Benchu ​​take Cao Mengde away."

After Cao Cao was taken away by Yuan Shao, Bai Qi and others walked over and looked at Ye Xiao and said.

"My lord, is it letting Cao Cao go back to the mountain?"

Ye Xiao looked at Cao Cao who was going away, nodded and said.

"I know, but even so, I can only let him go. After all, we don't have the strength to spend with Yuan Shao anymore."

Ye Xiao looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, stretched out his hand to grab one, the snowflakes fell into his palm and slowly began to melt.

"Veteran, I need veterans too much. Not only that, I don't have enough food reserves, but also the economy. The aristocratic families in Yuzhou have been looted by me this time. Now I need to develop the economy. I hope there will be enough time."

Ye Xiao looked at the endless fields in the distance and said to himself.

"Bai Qi, Yue Fei obeys orders!"

"The end is here!"

Bai Qi and Yue Fei stepped forward and said to Ye Xiao.

"The two of you are now leading [-] elite soldiers into Chenliu and Jiyin to take over these two counties. If you encounter resistance, you will be killed without mercy."

"Yes."

After giving the order, Ye Xiao returned to Yingchuan with his teacher.

The first thing Ye Xiao thought of when he entered Yingchuan was to check the farmland. First, he came to the responsibility field he had assigned to each farmer.

When Ye Xiao came to the field of responsibility, he found himself embarrassed. There was no one on the field of responsibility.

Only then did Ye Xiao realize that this is not the case in a modern society with developed agriculture, where there are still things to grow in winter. Farmers in this period are basically idle in winter.

But winter is not completely idle for farmers. They have to serve corvee and repair farm tools.

The so-called corvee is to put it bluntly, to work for the court for free, and it is still similar to the current compulsory labor, but the content is much more serious than the compulsory labor.

Seeing that there was nothing to see in the field, Ye Xiao changed into casual clothes and came to the blacksmith's shop.

Blacksmith shops are the busiest in winter, and farmers have to bring their farm tools over for repairs.

"Guest officer, do you want to repair farm tools, or build something?"

The clerk at the blacksmith shop saw Ye Xiao walking in and asked with a flattering face.

"have a look."

Ye Xiao responded perfunctorily and walked towards the interior of the blacksmith shop, where the master blacksmith was located.

Guests were allowed to visit the blacksmith shop in ancient times, and he was not afraid of stealing the teacher. After all, even if you stole this thing, you would not be able to open a shop without the authorization of the imperial court.

Entering the shop, Ye Xiao saw a few big men with naked upper body. Although it's winter now, due to the heat of the blacksmith's shop, beads of sweat can still be seen on their bodies.

"Ding! Boom!"

The two blacksmiths, one wielding a sledgehammer and the other wielding a small hammer, cooperated in perfect harmony.

I saw one of them putting the beaten iron into the water.

"Stab!"

Countless water vapor burst out instantly.

Then the two began to install the finished ironware, Ye Xiao waited for the two to complete the installation and went up to ask.

"I don't know what the two masters built?"

Seeing Ye Xiao's inquiry, the two blacksmiths looked Ye Xiao up and down and said.

"At first glance, the young master has never been in the farmland, and he doesn't even know the plow."

Ye Xiao was taken aback, walked over to have a closer look, and thought, is this a plow?It's straight?Shouldn't the plow be curved?
Moreover, the posture of this plow requires at least two oxen to pull it. Isn't it the Quyuan plow that is used now?Ye Xiao closed his eyes and tried his best to recall the history of farm tools.

Finally he remembered that the Quyuan plow was only invented in the Tang Dynasty, and all the straight-yuan plows are used now, and this kind of plow requires at least two oxen to pull it.

For a family with only one cow, it is necessary to send a young and strong family member to act as the "cow".

Looking at this plow, Ye Xiao fell into deep thought. You must know that the key to agricultural production is cultivated land. If the cultivated land is well cultivated, the harvest will naturally be high. A high harvest means that he can receive more military rations, and more military rations mean that he can With confidence, Ye Xiao became more and more excited as he thought about it, and ran out of the blacksmith's shop.
