[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

The war in Yanzhou continued, but the Anguo Yuan Mansion was still as peaceful as before.

After Xun Yu took the initiative to take over the military affairs, Xun You finally condescended to go to the courtyard specially arranged for them to handle official duties. The uncle and nephew were busy with their own affairs, and quickly figured out the situation in Zhongshan thoroughly.

The situation in Zhongshan County is not difficult to sort out. Although there has been no prefect for two or three years, there has been no trouble. What surprised them is the huge amount of food, grass, gold and silver in the house.

As the capital city of Han Dynasty, Luoyang has so many rich families and wealthy businessmen. In order to collect money, Dong Zhuo branded thousands of wealthy families in the city as "conspiracy and rebellion" overnight, causing countless families to be ruined and their properties not returned. All the treasury was taken away by Dong Zhuo and transported to Meiwu.

They knew that Dong Zhuo searched for the people's fat and people's anointing, not only the rich households in Luoyang, but even the tombs of the emperor's relatives. He had stolen almost all the imperial tombs around Luoyang.

However, I only knew that Dong Thief had amassed a lot of wealth before, but I didn't know how much it was. Now that I finally sorted it out, I realized how many crimes Dong Thief had committed before.

Not counting the priceless jewels, the grain brought to their house can support a 10 elite soldiers for 30 years. No wonder the lord didn’t feel bad at all when transporting grain to Yanzhou. The grain shipped out looks like a lot , but to their lord, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Xun You put down the bamboo slip in his hand, rubbed his forehead in a trance, and was so shocked by the numbers on it that he couldn't speak.

No, he has to take it easy.

Xun Yu poured himself a glass of water with trembling hands, and his hands were still trembling after drinking, "Gongda, does your lord know the exact amount of food and grass in the house?"

"I don't know." Xun You shook his head. When Zhang Liao brought over the unsorted bamboo slips, the lord's expression was as shocked as he was. Obviously, he didn't expect so many things.

He remembered that the lord was still seriously ill at that time, Lu Fengxian and Zhang Wenyuan came to Anguo one step ahead of time, the lord was weak, and had not had time to ask about the situation of the mansion. Before his arrival, many things were handled by Gao Fuyi.

It is difficult for Gao Fuyi, a general who leads troops to fight, not only has to endure two colleagues who are too energetic, but also finds time to deal with military affairs.

Xun You came back to his senses with difficulty, picked up the bamboo slips he had just arranged and was about to get up, "You will go and hand these over to the lord now."

"Wait a minute, you and I will be together later." Xun Yu had almost finished the work at hand, and they happened to go there to report together. It has been half a month since Lv Bu left with his troops, and he does not know how the situation in Yanzhou is now.

Liu Dai is dead, and Yanzhou is in a state of no owner. The lord's body cannot be shaken, so the position of Yanzhou Mu will definitely fall to someone else.

Cao Mengde did his best to defend against the Black Mountain bandits, but he didn't know that Yuan Shaole was not willing to let his friend who was always by his side be equal to him.

In other words, I don't know if Cao Mengde is willing to continue to follow Yuan Benchu ​​after going through so many things.

In the main courtyard, Yuan Huan was watching the little guy eat. The white and tender little doll focused on the custard in front of him, and ate it in one bite, with his little face shaking. After swallowing, he continued to repeat the action just now.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Little Yuan Jing is afraid of the heat. It doesn't taste good to eat anything when the weather just starts to get hot. I don't dare to put an ice basin in the room, for fear that he will be hurt by the cold if he is too young, and the little baby will wilt He didn't have much energy, and when he got too hot, he lay motionless on the bamboo mat, almost scaring the nanny out of his wits.

Yuan Huan himself didn't feel anything, no matter how hot the weather outside was, he still couldn't feel it, his hands and feet were still cold in hot weather, after getting used to drinking bitter medicine three times a day, summer was actually the most comfortable season for him.

The little guy inadvertently found that his father was cold and comfortable, and he came here to make a fuss and refused to leave when it was too hot. Yuan Huan had nothing to do with him, so he could only take this little ancestor with him all the time.

One of them is afraid of the cold and the other is afraid of the heat, they are a perfect match.

The food on the table is very simple, a bowl of barley rice, a plate of green vegetables, two cups of egg custard, and a small plate of fruit. Compared with the exquisite and gorgeous jade bowl, the things contained in it look very shabby.

Yuan Huan was in poor health, and the doctor wished that his three meals a day would be medicated diets. It was because his pulse condition improved a little these days that he could eat a few normal meals.

As we all know, the longer the era, the more scarce the food, and then 2000 years ago, even if you dressed as a tribal leader, you might not be able to eat enough. The ability to eat wind and drink dew is really impossible to survive.

There are still very few types of food now, but at least you won’t be hungry. After all, this is an era when it’s difficult to even “hold a steamed bun in your hand without a drop of oil in the dish”. It’s already good to be able to survive, and I can’t ask for it. too much.

Fortunately, he is a son of a noble family, and the original owner left him enough things. If he was an ordinary person, he would hardly even dare to think about it.

When Yuan Huan just woke up, he felt that it was very difficult to live. He was rescued from the pile of dead people in a daze, and he almost lost his life. It's nothing.

The troubled times of the separatist regimes have begun, and the big families may not have the strength to protect themselves. A big family like the Xun family will move the whole family when the war burns. No one can escape the fate of being displaced.

It is said that there are only thousand-year-old families and no thousand-year dynasties, but there are indeed families that have passed on for thousands of years, and there are so many families that have disappeared completely in the troubled times.

The general trend, no one can escape.

——The palace is burned out, and all the officials are covered with thorns and thorns, leaning against the walls.The prefectures and counties each had strong soldiers, but they were unable to lose. The group of officials was hungry, and Shang Shulang and others went out to pick weeds, and either starved to death in the walls, or were killed by soldiers.

Human life is worthless in troubled times, even the emperor is reduced to eating wild vegetables, and the number of officials starved to death is unimportant. If the emperor is like this, the situation of the people must be so tragic.

The little guy was able to walk very steadily now. After eating the custard in his bowl, he looked to the side, tilted his head and watched helplessly for a while, and then rushed over with his short legs, "Father, father... Second-rate……"

Yuan Huan picked up a silk cloth and wiped the corners of his mouth. He really didn't have any appetite. Seeing that the little guy had almost eaten, he ordered the maid to remove the food table.

However, the little guy clung to the food table, looked at half of the food left in the bowl, and jumped out word by word, "Father... this time..."

Yuan Huan: ...

Cub, daddy knows it's not good to waste food, but daddy really can't eat anymore.

The little guy sat down on the ground, persistently looked at his father who was not eating well, and continued to urge, "Next meal."

When Xun Yu and Xun You came over, the father and son were looking at each other across the food table.

Yuan Huan blinked, looked away from the increasingly difficult cubs, called Xun's uncle and nephew to sit down, asked if they had eaten, and then asked the maid to bring over two more meals, trying to attract the little ancestor's attention force to go elsewhere.

Xun Yu sat down with his sleeves rolled up, and saw that there was a lot left on the food table in front of him. The wheat and rice were barely touched, and half of the egg custard was left. A grown man's food was not as much as a baby's, so he frowned immediately. , "My lord, but the food is not to your liking?"

"No." Yuan Huan shook his head, picked up the egg custard helplessly, and ate a few more mouthfuls under the supervision of the little guy, and then successfully coaxed him away from the food table, "Gongda and Wenruo are here at this time, but the things have been tidied up. gone?"

"Exactly." Sitting in front of the desk, Xun You just replied verbally, "My lord, the house now has plenty of food and grass. It takes 30 solar eclipses for one person to use [-] hu of grain. Now the food and grass in the house are enough to support a hundred thousand troops. Years."

Yuan Huan was stunned for a moment, and quickly started the multiplication formula in his heart, and then he was taken aback by the number he calculated, [-] times [-] times [-], and there was a string of zeros behind it.

Meiwu occupies a very large area, but Yuan's mansion is not that big. Yuan Huan was dizzy with a series of dizziness in his mind, and couldn't help asking, "Can the granary in the mansion hold up?"

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are solely responsible for the grain, gold and silver. He has never seen it himself, and he really can’t imagine how big such a huge amount of grain will be piled up. More food?

"Originally, it was not enough. General Wen Yuan ordered to build several large warehouses, so that all the grain and grain could be stored in it." Xun You explained a few words, and the maid brought a water basin for them to wash their hands, and the food was quickly placed on the table. before.

The same wheat rice, custard and fruit, but the portion was much larger than what Yuan Huan had in front of him, and there were two more plates of fried meat.

Yuan Huan came back to his senses in a trance, and asked them to show him the bamboo slips and documents first, and the specific situation will be discussed after dinner.

The little guy's shallow eyebrows were frowned, and seeing the custard left in the bowl with a look of bitterness and hatred, Yuan Huan was amused by his little expression, and before the heat dissipated, he would eat it in two or three bites. After eating the contents, he shook it in front of the little supervisor, and then asked the nanny to take him to the inner room to play.

It's really helpless to start worrying when you can't say anything.

After the little ancestor was taken away, Yuan Huan shook his head and opened the bamboo slips. After seeing the words on it, he still couldn't hold back his heartbeat.

There are only 12 households in the entire Zhongshan County. There are [-] counties under the jurisdiction of the county. On average, there are only more than [-] households in each county. The original owner enjoys food for more than a thousand households with the title of Tinghou. The county marquis is even taller.

Jizhou is a big state with a lot of people, and counties and counties can have so many people. In today's Yanzhou Yuzhou, I am afraid that adding another zero will not be able to reach the number of households here.

There are 12 households in Zhongshan County, adding up to a total of about 30 people, of which [-]% are old people and children, [-]% are women, and the remaining [-]% ​​are young and strong who can serve as soldiers. If there is a war, Zhongshan County can at least Collect [-] soldiers.

There are nine prefectures and states in Jizhou, so it is true that Yuan Shao has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.

Old people and children don't consume much food, and a family may have the same labor force as a man in his prime. Calculated on the basis of [-] days of food per person and [-] hu, they can feed millions of people.

Xun Yu and Xun You were thinking about something, hurriedly finished the meal, and the three of them moved to the study and sat down separately, with the same serious expressions on their faces.

Yuan Huan spread out the simple version of the map he drew himself, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the small characters marked on it, "The amount of food stored in the house is beyond imagination. Mencius said that if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world." , you two think, are we qualified to help the world now?"

It is not difficult to be good for one's own body, but it is not so easy to benefit the world. But for them, it is not delusional to have enough food to feed millions of people and want to open up a paradise in troubled times.

Xun Yu forced himself to wake up from the beautiful fantasy, and the remaining rationality kept him awake. "It's a good thing that the Lord has a heart, but now Jizhou is not under the master's control. If you want to benefit the world, you have to plan it slowly."

Now that the imperial court is in decline, the official position of the prefect of Zhongshan is far from enough to help the people all over the world, at least one state must be the foundation.

Not counting the grain brought out from Meiwu, Jizhou itself is a large state rich in grain, and it is connected to the grasslands in the north, the Central Plains in the south, Zhili Guanzhong in the west, and Goguryeo and other places in the east. It is very convenient for merchants in all directions. grow.

In addition, there are not many wars in Jizhou. There is Youzhou in the north and Bingzhou in the west. All the Xianbei and other tribes on the grassland are blocked. At least not as cautiously as now.

Youzhou Gongsun Zan is coming in a menacing manner. Yuan Shao has just acquired Jizhou not long ago, and has not yet completely conquered the hearts of the people. Many counties in Jizhou surrendered in fear of Gongsun Zan's power. Yuan Benchu ​​was in a state of desperation.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, seeing that Yuan Huan didn't respond, he pursed his lips and asked softly, "My lord, after all, you are from the Yuan family in Runan. Don't tell me you really won't recognize Yuan Benchu ​​from now on?"

"Until the soldiers and horses are enough to suppress the entire Jizhou, everything will go with the flow." Yuan Huan looked indifferent, he had no interest in identifying relatives, and just wanted to reap the benefits when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought.

Yuan Shao had 20 elite soldiers, and there were quite a few strong generals. He wasn't sure if the two brothers would fight when they met, so he could only prepare for the worst.

He now has Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun under his command, all of whom are famous generals with one enemy against one hundred, but the generals alone are far from enough. The number of soldiers is the basis for fighting. , but the difference cannot be too great.

"In this case, we can continue as usual." Xun You nodded, holding so much food and grass in their hands is their confidence, they only wait for the opportunity to get Jizhou, and then they can use their hands and feet.

While the few people were talking, the messenger soldiers from Yanzhou knocked on the gate of Yuan Mansion, and the servant hurriedly delivered the letter to the study, not daring to disturb the discussion of the master's house, and hurriedly retreated with his head down.

Yuan Huan opened the cloth bag, glanced roughly at the content written on the bamboo slips, and couldn't help laughing for a moment, "Wu Chenghou brought too many soldiers and horses. Meng De was worried that there would be insufficient food and grass, so he asked for more food and grass."

Xun Yu couldn't help laughing, "The most important thing my lord needs at this time is food and grass."

"I'm afraid not." Yuan Huan smiled and handed them the bamboo slips, and then looked at Xun You narrowly, "Compared with grain and grass, those money are really astonishing."

With the help of Lu Bu and Sun Jian, Cao Cao made a big move to copy the hometowns of Bai Rao, Yu Du and other ministries. The crisis in Yanzhou was lifted, and Sun Jian didn't want to go back to Yuan Shu to wait for orders. The meaning in the letter seemed to be to them. Very excited.

Not for anything else, but for his generosity in giving food.

The smile on Yuan Huan's face was even more gentle. If he could get Wu Chenghou to vote, he could give it even more generously.
