It is related to the development of Yongzhou and the proportion of local financial contributions. Even if Zhang Xi is dizzy, he still has to do what needs to be done.
We have to cry for poverty, otherwise with the small number of Dingkou in Yongzhou and the scale of the current farmland, if the court does not provide sufficient support and subsidies, when will the people's livelihood be truly restored.
Moreover, our Yongzhou is still a frontline and a border state. We must always be on guard against threats from Cao Wei. Isn’t it too much to ask for more money and food subsidies? !
Apart from anything else, as for the distribution of those smuggled grains, I, Yongzhou, should take the lion's share, right? !
Then Zhuge Liang and other local governors said - you want something good for you! ! !
Among them, General Wei Zhao Yun had the biggest objection.
This time when he returned to Chengdu to discuss matters, the serious Liangzhou governor Xu Miao did not return to Chengdu. He stayed in Liangzhou to deal with the mess caused by the withdrawal of Liangzhou King Hu Zhiyuanduo. Liangzhou was already poor, and it suffered from snow disasters and military disasters one after another. If we don't properly appease the place, there might be rebels in Liangzhou now.
Therefore, it doesn't really matter whether Pang De stays to suppress him with force, Xu Miao stays to caress him with benevolence, and whether Zhao Yun stays or not.
Another thing, the three giants of Liangzhou have also discussed together. This time they go to Chengdu, they must need money and food, otherwise they will have to rely on the bitter cold land of Liangzhou. God knows when they will recover.
As for Zhao Yun, as a general of Wei and a powerful general of the Han Dynasty, he also had a high status within the court and a larger network of connections. It was obviously more appropriate for him to ask Zhuge Liang for money and food than to ask Xu Miao.
The only thing he worried about was that Zhao Yun had a peaceful temperament and was too talkative, and would be fooled by the governors of other states. Therefore, Xu Miao also taught Zhao Yun some speaking skills to explain the hardships of Liangzhou and how to block the governors of other states. Q.
Zhao Yun is not a fool. He has been in Liangzhou for a long time and knows the situation in Liangzhou. With Zhao Yun's temper, he cannot bear to see the people of Liangzhou suffer. Although the methods taught by Xu Miao are somewhat unkind, for the sake of the people, Zhao Yun I decided to risk my own skin.
A veteran general who was over sixty years old cried with tears in front of the governors from all over the country, complaining about the poverty of the people in Liangzhou, how difficult it was to appease the people in Liangzhou, and how to organize the army and train cavalry, and how heavy the burden was on the people. You, the local governors who enjoy the privilege of Jingzhou, Yongzhou and other elite areas, have the nerve to compete with an old general who is almost sixty years old for this money? !
Zhang Xi, Wang Ji, and Jiang Xu were all stunned. They didn't expect that Zhao Yun would be so generous and would actually do something like crying on the spot.
As long as they want to save face, these three people should not compete with Zhao Yun. Let’s not talk about Zhao Yun’s status, just talk about Zhao Yun’s age. If you fight with him, you will get the reputation of bullying the elderly. It is not worth it.
But the problem is that if you don't argue, Zhao Yun won't be polite.
Zhao Yun hoped that Zhuge Liang could allocate more grain and grass to Liangzhou and at the same time reduce the proportion of taxes paid by Liangzhou. Finally, Zhao Yun actually asked Yongzhou to transfer part of the grain smuggling share to Liangzhou to supplement Liangzhou's military food consumption.
If Zhang Xi doesn't stand up to oppose this, he will probably be complained by Jiang Wan, Chen Zhi, Huang Quan, Wei Yan, and even the entire Guanzhong family after he returns.
Therefore, Zhang Xi had to stand up and oppose Zhao Yun's remarks.
You are working hard in Liangzhou, and life in Yongzhou is not easy either.
There are four counties in Yongzhou. Beidi County and Anding County are located in the northwest. They are actually no different from your Liangzhou. It is good to be self-sufficient, but don't expect any harvest.
Yongzhou's population has now been reduced by half, and even the most basic foundation for the development of agriculture is gone. All people can be concentrated in Youfufeng County to preserve the agricultural output of Youfufeng County. As for Zuo Fengyi, although he is working on farming However, the total number of people who moved to Zuofengyi in the past two years was less than 100,000. The soldiers were busy fighting guerrillas with Cao Wei's army that was harassing Yongzhou, and they had no time to set up military camps. Today's Zuofengyi camp , I can only say that at the beginning, I couldn’t even be self-sufficient.
The only advantage is to take advantage of the geographical advantage to engage in some grain smuggling. This matter has only been carried out for less than a year, and you, Liangzhou, are thinking about dividing up this grain. Isn't it a bit unjust? !
Besides, although the land in Liangzhou is said to be barren, the population is not large. Although the output of the land is not much, it should not be a problem to feed the people of Liangzhou. Why do you have to argue with the people of Yongzhou? Food.
This is true, let alone Zhao Yun, even Jiang Xu couldn't stand it anymore and joined the chaos.
The situation in Qinzhou is actually not much different from that in Liangzhou. They are both sparsely populated and barren. Although they can farm, they can only make a living.
Even in peaceful times, the annual harvest of these two states is only enough to ensure that the people do not starve to death. Not to mention that the world is in chaos now and the surrounding alien races are ready to move. If there is not enough money and food to support, how can the defense of the two states be guaranteed? !
The Qiang and Hu tribes will not stop robbing you just because you are poor. They are even poorer than you.
Therefore, the biggest use of the money and grain needed by Liangzhou and Qinzhou is to recruit county soldiers and reserve military rations to deal with the invasion of surrounding barbarians at any time.
This cannot be omitted.
Your Yongzhou is a border state, aren't Liangzhou and Qinzhou also border states? !
You can't think that just because the Qiang and Hu people are weak at this time, they are not a threat. Last year, the Hu King of Liangzhou invaded Liangzhou, and 200,000 people gathered at once. A rebellion of this scale, If we don’t have enough money or food, how can we keep going? !
Not to mention that Qinzhou and Liangzhou also have the responsibility of raising horses for the imperial court. War horses cannot be cultivated by just pulling in a bunch of horses, they need to be carefully selected.
Even so, during the period when a war horse grows from a foal to a qualified war horse, adequate nutrition must be ensured.
The grains and bean sprouts in Liangzhou cannot provide enough nutrition for these war horses. In addition, in winter, due to weather conditions, all horses will lose weight, and if they lose weight like this, they will not be able to raise them again after spring. , then this horse is considered useless.
Really, Jiang Xu had no intention of speaking for Zhao Yun, but Zhang Xi said this. It sounded so irritating and did not take into account the actual situation of Qinzhou and Liangzhou at all.
If Zhang Xi deducts Liangzhou's share for an excuse, Qinzhou, which is not as important as Liangzhou, will also gain little benefit.
Therefore, Jiang Xu took the initiative to stand up and help Zhao Yun speak. At the same time, he also pointed out the difficulties of Liangzhou and Qinzhou to Zhang Xi, Wang Ji, Yang Hong and others present.
In fact, this is also the issue that Zhuge Liang is most worried about. Even Zhuge Liang is also thinking about how to persuade the other three governors to make concessions and give some preferential treatment to Liangzhou and Qinzhou.
Today's big men, what they lack most are war horses, and the stability of the northwest is of great significance to the production of war horses, and must not be messed up.
In the past, Qinzhou was guarded by Ma Chao, and the surrounding Qiang people had been honest for nearly ten years. But now that Ma Chao has died, Jiang Xu and Ma Dai do not have enough prestige to deter the Qiang people. The Qiang people are already unstable, and their investment in Qinzhou has It must not be reduced.
As for Liangzhou, it suffered from snowstorms and military disasters, and was in urgent need of blood transfusion assistance. Therefore, Zhuge Liang's inner balance was indeed biased towards these two states.
Zhang Xi, Wang Ji, and Yang Hong each have a grain production base in hand. Even if there are difficulties for a while, as long as they calm down, they will naturally be rewarded.
But Qinzhou and Liangzhou are really different. Not only does this place have to bear the important responsibility of producing horses, but more importantly, it does not have much value-generating place. If the court does not provide sufficient subsidies, then the people of Liangzhou and Qinzhou will , definitely can't survive.
The problem of instability in the northwest of the Han Dynasty has not changed for a day or two. There are so many lessons learned from the past, so we must not fail to see it.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang planned to take advantage of the situation and speak from the standpoint of Qinzhou and Liangzhou.
"The patient in Qinzhou and Liangzhou is no more than Ma Zheng'er. In this case, why not implement the green reserve policy to deal with the winter when the war horses have no grass to fatten and waste food instead?!"
A certain shameless time-traveler started spouting wild words again.
When Zhuge Liang heard Zhang Xi's words, his mind immediately changed and he took back what he was about to say, waiting for the reactions of Zhao Yun and Jiang Xu.
"What is Qing Chu's policy?!"
Sure enough, Jiang Xu was the first to react and asked.
It has been passed down in the northwest of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the Tianshui Jiang family has never heard of the "Qingzhu strategy".
Zhang Xi was also stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said calmly, "Harvest the spring and summer fodder, store it in the warehouse, take it out in winter, and feed the horses with bean sprouts. This is called green storage."
Jiang Xu and Zhao Yun were stunned after hearing this, thinking that Zhang Xi had said some clever strategy.
But after listening to this guy's nonsense, the two of them were speechless and said almost in unison, "This is called hay!!!"
Why, someone has thought of this method since the days of Arima, and they still use you to remind them? !
But the problem is that if a horse eats hay and bean sprouts, it will still lose weight, and there is no way to stop it.
Zhuge Liang also shook his head slightly. He originally thought that Zhang Xi had any good ideas, but in the end, this was it? !
Therefore, Zhuge Liang also said, "Yuan has been in the Central Plains for a long time and does not know what is going on in the northwest. This is not surprising. It is also the policy of Qingchu mentioned by Yuan. If it is just for this, it is okay not to discuss it."
Turning his head, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun and Jiang Xu, smiled slightly, and was about to speak.
At this time, a certain time-travelling native dog murmured again.
"Actually, it's not like that, the stream can still distinguish between hay and green storage."
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was stunned. Isn't it? !
"Please Yuan Chang please elaborate."
