Three Kingdoms

Wei Jian sent an old man away respectfully, and when he turned around, his face was already gloomy.

Ever since the news about Fei Qian's request for food and grass supplies came out, Wei Jian had already received guests five or six times. Just now, even an elder-level clan uncle from his family was dispatched.

There were two main sources of food and fodder for the army in the Han Dynasty. One was the "taxes" fixedly paid by the citizens, and the other was the "transfer" allocated additionally by the people in the area.

According to Han law, the border defense army's salary standards for Benshan soldiers are 20% to 30% higher than that of ordinary county soldiers. For the border defense army, because of the inconvenience of long-distance transportation of grain and grass, most of the time, the court encourages the border defense army to The grain and grass are directly provided in surrounding counties and counties.

This means reducing the amount of grain and grass distributed by the imperial court in the "taxes", increasing the amount of money paid, and then relying on "transfers" to the surrounding counties and counties where the garrison is located, as well as local purchases to support the supply of grain and grass to the border troops.

"Tune" is not unlimited. First of all, it can only be "tuned" when the "Zhu Fu" is insufficient, and the number of "Tune" cannot exceed one-third of the "Zhu Fu", and the number of "Tune" cannot exceed two in a year. times, and the interval between two times shall not be less than half a year.

The Zhonglang General who protects the Xiongnu has a very powerful position. He supports integrity and has an official rank of two thousand shi. He oversees the three states of You and Liang and the two camps of Duliao and Wuheng. His status is higher than that of General Duliao and Colonel Wuheng. It can be said that The entire northern defense line, guarding the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, has the authority to govern and supervise the movement. Therefore, the permanent number of soldiers to protect the Xiongnu Zhonglang General is about 12,000, and if there is a war, it will be increased again.

The Zhonglang General who protects the Xiongnu has five departments under his jurisdiction. Each department is led by a captain or an army commander. The official rank of the captains or army commanders under these Zhonglang Generals is Bi Qian Shi, and each department is about a thousand stones. There are about 500 to 2,000 people.

One of Fei Qian's official positions is "Sima of the other divisions of the generals who protect the Huns", which is this level. However, because of the additional word "biebu", it means another unit independent of the generals who protect the Huns. The Huns were under the jurisdiction of the Zhonglang General, but they did not have to report everything and had independent military and financial powers.

Now Fei Qian is stationed in Hedong County, so Hedong County is the current station of "protecting the Xiongnu Zhonglang General and other Sima", and naturally must bear the responsibility of "adjusting" grain and grass.

In addition, over the years, Bingzhou's grain and grass were basically imported by ceremonial officials. The two main sources were Hongnong County and Hedong County. Therefore, the court also exempted some of the taxes that Hedong County and Hongnong County had to pay to the central government.

But the problem is that since the first year of Zhongping, Shangjun has been under the rule of overseas Chinese. During this period, the grain and grass that Hedong County should have paid to Shangjun was interrupted. However, the amount of food and grass that the imperial court was exempted from was reduced due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and what followed was Emperor Ling was seriously ill and a series of other things, but no one adjusted them at all, and Hedong County was happy to pretend that they had forgotten this matter.

Now, based on the information provided by Cai Yong, Fei Qian calculated that from the first year of Zhongping to the present, Hedong County should pay to Shangjun, and then add in the money that needs to be paid to "Protect the Huns Zhonglang General Sima of the Other Department", the total is as high as three When the list of 1.81 million stones of food and grass was handed over to Lu Chang, it was like a depth bomb, which suddenly exploded and made the people who were hiding aside to watch the show unable to sit still.

Although everyone understood that Fei Qian's move was mostly to scare people, what if Fei Qian was forced to panic? This bite is so severe that no one can bear it!

Moreover, Fei Qian was on a day trip to Anyi with his soldiers and armor. Even a person who knew nothing about military affairs knew that Fei Qian had more than a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers under his command. He really wanted to kill Fei Qian. Qian was so angry that he led his soldiers to block the entrance of Zhuangzi and begged for food and grass. Should he give it or not?

Even if he huddles in Zhuangzi and ignores it, Fei Qian may not attack the village, but what about the young crops in the fields outside Zhuangzi? Do we still need to send someone out to take care of it? You know, if you delay for a while, you will delay for a year!

The most important thing is that all the noble clans in Hedong have understood that this is what Wei Qian wants to find trouble with Fei Qian, and then Fei Qian fights back. Now even the uncles from the side branches of the Wei clan have come forward, meaning It's very simple. We don't care what grudges you, Wei, want to resolve, but don't drag us into the water!

Besides, Fei Qian’s original intention was to buy it with money. Who would have trouble with money?

Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents!

Now because Wei covets you, not only can't he make any money, but he also has to sell it to others. Who can bear this?

Wei Qian's face was sullen. He really didn't expect Fei Qian to do such a trick to him. In his mind, he wanted to rectify and punish Fei Qian. If Fei Qian understood current affairs and was willing to come to his door and lower his head to beg for mercy, maybe he would be merciful and let Fei Qian go.

But now Fei Qian actually played tricks on him, confronting him head on, and forcing him to be quite embarrassed now.

Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong County, did not communicate with him, but directly spread the news about Fei Qian's order. His meaning was also very clear. I don't care how you, Wei Qian, want to find trouble with Fei Qian, but you, Wei Qian, expose it. I, Wang Yi, will not help you with your problems.

Moreover, at the south city gate where soldiers were recruited, Fei Qian's tricks also made Wei Qian suffer a loss.

Who would spend 600 monthly money to recruit an ordinary guard who knows nothing?

It actually takes a year to write the paperwork!

Unfortunately, when Wei Ju immediately stopped Wei Feng's stupid behavior after he found out about it, the Wei family had already signed documents for nearly 500 people...

This is 3.6 million dollars!

If Wei Feng hadn't been his clan brother, he would have considered cutting him alive.

Wei Jian ordered his servants to call Wei Feng.

Wei Feng came in trepidation, not even daring to call him "eldest brother" as he was close to him. He called him the head of the family honestly and stood in the hall, waiting for his words.

There was silence in the hall.

Wei Jian didn't speak, and Wei Feng didn't dare to speak. He lowered his head and didn't dare to move.

The invisible pressure forced Wei Feng to sweat, and it flowed down his face. It was extremely itchy, but Wei Feng didn't even dare to wipe it until he let the sweat drop onto the bluestone on the ground and let out a sound. The sound of "ticking" broke the oppressive silence.

"Wei Fu came to see me today..." Wei Jian looked at Wei Feng who was sweating profusely and said, "Yan Xinjin's escort fee is six hundred, but Wei San's wait is only five hundred..."

Wei Feng fell to his knees with a pop and kowtowed repeatedly.

Wei Jian sighed slightly and said: "Get up, this is my fault, I just peeked at this person..."

Jiang Wei held a long sword in his hand and was supervising the army at the top of the city. Liao Hua stood beside him and saw half the sky covered with red clouds. The scenery was magnificent and unparalleled. The enemy troops were flying and galloping below the city, and their ferocious faces were faintly visible.

When I looked at Jiang Wei again and saw him standing erect on the top of the city, his majestic wind rustling, my heart couldn't help but be filled with indescribable admiration and attachment.

The two of them support each other and become stronger over time. Today, a strong enemy is approaching, and it is difficult for anyone to predict whether they can repel it again.

Liao Hua thought to himself: Boyue and I have been partners for thirty years, and most of our lives have been spent on defeating Wei. We fight against a powerful enemy together, even if both of us shed blood on the city wall, our life will really be in vain.

At a glance, I saw a few more white hairs on Jiang Wei's left beard, and I couldn't help but feel a little pity: "Once the enemy soldiers attacked fiercely, Bo Yue had dozens of white hairs...
