Chapter 237 Three hundred catties

"Magistrate Wang, can you notify them of preparation this time?" Li Sangou asked.

"It's not possible yet. We must wait until the Xixia army arrives at Jintang City and Baibao City before the truth can be revealed."

"It's too late. Besides, the army is approaching, and the intelligence will not be delivered at that time."

"Information can be solved, at most, you can go around some roads. From the Great Wall Ridge to the security army in the north, then around Huaichi, or take off from the Huaian Road in the south. And there is also a benefit for the army to be in the face of the border. Usually, everyone may not be afraid, and they will promise to assist in this battle. However, countless armies are rolling in, and some tribes will retreat. It doesn't matter if they are leaked, and the major events will be gone. When the army is approaching, the tribes are cowardly and afraid, they can be seen and can avoid them and will not be leaked."

This tribe is afraid not, but refers to the people of the entire tribe, but to the chiefs and prestigious people of the Yeli tribes.

The main thing is that they would not talk to the people of each village at that time. But when they really make efforts, they would let these chiefs convey the truth to the people, and then they would lead the people to do things. Some people might oppose it, some people were afraid, but everyone started to take action. It was too late to report those who opposed it, and those who were afraid had to follow. Then the plan could be close to success.

Wang Ju handed him another piece of paper and said, "It says the conditions I issued."

Li Sangou opened it and looked at it, and said happily: "I don't have to worry about these conditions."

"Uncle Sangou, this is just one of them. You know that the country's financial difficulties have been in the past two years. After this battle, your Yeli tribe will be rewarded and the court will have rewards. But that reward is not much. But there is a good news for your Yeli tribe's future."

“What good news?”

"You often say that the court does not trust the foreign people very much. There is such a thing. But have you ever thought about whether there have been some foreign tribes on both sides of the Song Dynasty and Xixia in recent years? Are there some foreign tribes who rely on the many people in the tribe and are unruly towards the government? Are some foreign tribes who defect to the Western Xia and even openly rebel? Not only now, but also in the future. Li Liangzuo began to change some methods, both soft and hard, but it has not yet softened. If the mountain promises some conditions or gives some heavy money to buy, will more foreign tribes defect to the government? How do you let the court believe it?"

This is also a fact. Li Sangou was speechless.

"Let me talk about how the imperial court treats the British people. You have lived in Wangjiazhai for a long time. As a border citizen, how much burden does the Han people have? But how much burden does the foreign people have? Even if the strong people train, they can only set up training in each village with team as the organization. My three battles have shown some prestige, which made them train at the Xihua Chi Fort. In that case, they dare not be too long. It is good. The imperial court has soft strategies and has not protected the foreign people well from invasion. But the two are complementary and inherited. The foreign people do not pay enough loyalty, sometimes rebellious, sometimes arrogant, will the imperial court agree to spend a greater price to protect?"

"This problem is a headache. Different races are different. Some are loyal and some are unfaithful."

"Uncle Sangou, that's right. This year, Xixia promoted Xi'an City to protect the Tai Army and let Yu Zang Huama defend it. Why did Xixia believe in Yu Zang Huama? He betrayed Tubo and brought his subordinates and Xixia officers and soldiers to Qinzhou to burn, kill and loot. Neither country could tolerate him anymore, and could only accompany Xixia to honor and disgrace. That's why Xixia believed him. The same principle is that the more than a thousand tents on the other side of the mountain abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and participated in the war at the critical moment, and he could never rejoin Xixia again. So when the imperial officials identified which foreign tribe was trustworthy, they would choose which foreign tribe? Once trust was generated, all resources were tilted, it would be impossible for you Yeli tribe to not thrive in the future. Of course, please remember not to be like the Murong tribe in Huanzhou."

"Yes, County Magistrate Wang, don't worry. Once they come here, I will let them swear by the stele and swear that as long as the Song Dynasty does not let them down, they will be loyal to the Song Dynasty forever."

"That's good. Maybe in a few years, I will be able to return to Gyeongju again."

"Haha, I must have been so happy at that time," Li Sangou laughed loudly. Wang Ju would not have been a magistrate at that time, but might be the magistrate of Qingzhou!

After saying this, Wang Ju looked at Yao Yi again and said, "Autumn is coming, and it seems that it is the time for Xixia to plunder again. I am very arrogant in Huachi County, but there is no movement at all on the front line, so this is not great."

Yao Yi smiled and understood: "Okay, after I go back, I immediately ordered the capital to take action on the White Army, clean up all the Western Xia scouts in front of Dashun City and Liyuan Fort."

In fact, it is to become more strict on the front line, and there will be Xixia scouts operating in the Song Dynasty.

The same is true for Xixia. Because of the past investigation, some scouts had accidents or sacrifices, but Wang Ju would not send scouts there? He would still send them. However, with the strict patrols, the scope of scouts' activities decreased, and the information they could inquire was limited. In fact, the mountain had begun to tighten. If it weren't for the help of the Yeli clan, Wang Ju would have limited information, and even this news channel became an important source of information for Cai Ting.

And it must be tight, and it will not move yet. In another ten days, as the Xixia army is preparing to start the deportation, the main arrangements are in Liyuan Fort, Dashun City, and Rouyuan Village!

Yao Yi said again: "It would be better if it was one year later."

If you train like this now, the army will have stronger combat effectiveness in another year. And in another year, you can even change the officers and soldiers of several battalions of Huachi, especially the armor.

It's really light. Yao Yi wore a new vest and felt that the pressure on her body was reduced by half. When riding on the horse, she felt like she wanted to fly.

But Wang Ju said in his heart, if I was one year later, I would be miserable. Maybe the court would not know how to demote me to a corner of Lingnan because of his anger.

He smiled and said, "Satisfied, in terms of armor and weapons, all the troops on Huanqing Road now, which one and the Huachi camps? Don't forget that some of them will rush to Dashun City, which is the main battlefield. Also, can that battle be prepared for the other party for more than a year?"

"Hahaha, I'm contented, I'm contented. At least I haven't led such a powerful army yet." Yao Yi said happily.

Not only armor, but also morale, as well as martial arts practiced in one year. And many soldiers have experienced the test of bloody battles last year and have some practical experience.

This is also Wang Ju's last preparation.

However, on the surface, Qingzhou is still the same as in previous years. Except for the officials of Huachi County who continue to be "arrogant", the officers and soldiers of other battalions are still staying in turtles, which is even more important than turtles hiding.

Cai Ting was also as confused and ignorant as August came, so he went to Huachi County to see Gao Gorge. Then he presided over the autumn examination. It seemed that some of the students who performed well in the examination this year. Cai Ting also held a banquet and called Wang Ju and Cai Ting over to accompany him.

In fact, nearly ten officials of all sizes in Gyeongju are from genuine Jinshi, but Zhang and Wang have different meanings. One is that they are the Jinshi last year, and the second two are very high in rankings. Both of them are among the top ten in the second grade. Therefore, they have some symbolic significance when they come to accompany each other.

As a civil servant, these aren’t these the favorites?

Another thing that civil officials like is internal governance.

Cai Ting released another dew cloth. Autumn is coming and the weather is good this year. But I hope that all officials will not be harsh on the people. They also assigned people from all over the country to pay taxes and grains to the nearby Baozhai Towns to make it lenient to the people.

Then he came to Huachi County, which still had nothing to do with military and political affairs. It was the output of sorghum.

He asked someone to choose a sorghum who was the best in growth, and then started to harvest, and then sent a servant to weigh the weight and measure the land.

After a while, the output will come out.

The yield per mu is 290 kilograms.

Although I was mentally prepared, everyone, including Cai Ting, was shocked.

A clerk said, "Where are three hundred kilograms?"

It's still ten kilograms away, but it's okay to falsely report ten kilograms.

Cai Ting also murmured: "Where is Wushi?"

Five stones include one season of winter wheat, which adds up to five stones of yield in two seasons.

This output may be a big deal after 950 years, but it was an amazing output in the Song Dynasty. Later, Wanchunwei was developed, and the highest yield could reach seven stones in two seasons. It was a fertile polder, and the yield was only achieved with high yields of rice. However, it also shocked the court, so Jiangdongwei began to officially embark on the agenda.

Perhaps the Qin Dynasty left the Great Wall Lingqu Canal for future generations, and the Sui Dynasty left the Grand Canal, but the two countries quickly perished due to two major projects.

However, that dynasty left the most things? It was not the Grand Canal or the Great Wall, but the Song Dynasty. Jiangdongwei, Taihu Lake surrounds, various terraced fields, and rice from the city were still benefiting until more than 900 years later.

The current sorghum has nothing to do with those projects.

Now Jiangdongwei has not yet come out, but it is not big, and the court has not begun to pay attention to it. Even if it comes out, it has nothing to do with the production in the north. The output in the entire north is only about two stones. This time, five stones are mentioned, making everyone feel like they are in a dream together.

Wang Ju smiled and shook his head. The output of Song Dynasty made him really have nothing to say. Seeing everyone in a daze, Wang Ju said: "It's not that much. After the sun is dry, the weight will be reduced. Besides, it is also an exception. This load transfer technology can make sorghum produce two stones per mu. If there is a lack of water, less fertilizer, or the soil is poor, the yield will be even smaller."

"You, why are you not satisfied with me?" Cai Ting was amused and patted Wang Ju's head and said.

Yes, this land cannot be used as a proof. On average, it may only be two stones, but it is sorghum, not high-yield rice. If you don’t use this method to plant, one acre of land will only be more than one stone. The reason why there are many people who plant it is mainly because it is drought-tolerant. The north is short of water, so you have to plant it. In addition, it requires very few seeds. Unlike wheat rice, it takes dozens of kilograms of seeds per acre, and often only one kilogram of seeds per acre. If you use this method, it may only be a few taels of seeds.

So everyone was shocked, including the owner of the land, the poor old man and his family, listening to the discussions of the officials and clerks in front of him, he seemed to be in a dream. The old man murmured: "The little one actually planted three hundred kilograms of sorghum per acre?"

"You planted it, but you have to thank your magistrate." Cai Ting said with a funny look.

"The magistrate is a good person. In just one year, everyone's life will improve." The old man said excitedly.

"You have improved your life, because you work harder and more work, and it has nothing to do with me. But old man, please dry them quickly and let some of them go away. I believe that the news will spread, and many people will be willing to buy them at a high price and go back to make seeds."

“Yes, yes.”

Only then did everyone come to their senses, and a clerk said, "Duke Cai, report to the official family. What is a big event, a big achievement, this is a big event, a big achievement. How many people should I support?"

"That must be reported." Cai Ting said, it was good news, but there was still bad news coming soon, but even now, Cai Ting has not made any public announcement of the impending invasion of Xixia. After whining, Wang Ju understood and walked aside with Cai Ting.

"Is there any news coming over there?"

From now on, both sides have become tight, and the other side is openly tight and the other side is tight, and the other side is tight, and Wang Ju is trying to make trouble. In fact, it is really tight in this seemingly nonsense tight. The cavalry and the White Army in Huachi County have both moved into Huaian Town, so Xixia has not received much news on the northern line of Qingzhou, and the Song Dynasty has not received much news on the other side of the mountain. Therefore, the source of the Yeli tribe has almost become the only reliable source of news in Qingzhou.

"The other side of the mountain is just a gathering, but it has not gathered yet. As for whether there is a gathering in the rear of Xixia, it is impossible to know. However, Xixia began to escort grain and grass to Hengshan one after another."

"The three armies have not moved, and food and grass are ahead. It seems that the time for the invasion will not be too far away."

"But there has not been aggregation in the other side of Hengshan. We probably have more than twenty days to buffer, and they will invade in late September and early October."

"You make sense, I will go back and report to the court immediately."
