After surviving three years of spring plowing and summer harvesting in Yuanfeng, the situation of the old Yuan family suddenly improved. In the classical feudal era, people did not panic when they had food in hand. However, the old Yuan family went crazy with reclamation from last year to this year, and even did not hesitate to slash and burn, using very
Farming in a rough way, finally accumulated a large amount of grain and grass during the summer harvest.
After all, the Eastern European plains are one of the most fertile black soils in the world. Of course, the Slavs didn't know how good the soil was if they didn't farm. After the Yuan family moved here and put the Slavs on the right track, the Slavs didn't work hard to farm until last year.
After the Yuan family started to engage in high-alcohol wine, the Slavs understood the justice of farming!
Fishing and hunting? Go, go, go, go as far as you want. I’ve got this place covered. You don’t have to eat the fish, you don’t have to hunt the beasts, you have to drink the wine. Come on, come on, tell me what’s best for making wine. Come and tell me.
I, the Slav, am reclaiming the wasteland with such enthusiasm.
So in the third year of Yuanfeng, the Slavs reclaimed an average of 100 acres of wasteland per capita. This was the average after accounting for women, children, the elderly and the weak. I feel that in order to drink, the motivation of the Slavs was strengthened to the level of 20.
In short, the Slavs, who had been cultivating the land for a summer, relied on the support of the celestial phenomena to achieve a bumper harvest. The Yuan family made a lot of money, giving one-third of the grain to the Slavs to make wine, collecting tax on one-half, and the remaining six
One part was reserved for the Slavs' rations.
However, judging from the current situation, one-sixth of the rations reserved for the Slavs were also used to make wine, so Xun Chen still began to study whether to revise the tax regulations for the Slavs next year. Anyway, from the beginning
When Lao Yuanjia Si Zhao City was founded, it was divided into several classes: countrymen, subordinate people, civilians, naturalized people, and soldiers.
Although except for the Chinese people, who are really one level higher, and the soldiers are treated the same as the Chinese people during their time in the army, the other classes are roughly at the same level.
However, each one has its own special features, and it is still important to adapt to local conditions. For example, the Slavs have the highest grain tax. If they cultivate their own land, sow their own seeds, and farm their own land, they need to pay up to one-third of the grain tax.
Therefore, part of the reason why Yuanfeng collected one-half of the grain tax for three years was that, in addition to the land being reclaimed by the Slavs, the seeds and tools were provided by the Yuan family, so the collection was slightly higher. Well, it doesn't matter.
How can I say that this is already a tyranny in the Central Plains!
But the advantage is that the country provides Slavic wineries and provides extremely high-quality liquor.
The Slavs strongly support this policy, because the Slavs' brewing skills are quite rubbish. After all, this is a people who used stone axes in the fifth century and brought them to their tombs. It is simply poisonous.
Naturally, the tyranny of the Yuan family is not a problem for the Slavs at all. In Eastern Europe, the Slavs used to live well by fishing and hunting, so rations? I will not go hunting for bears after drinking. After three bottles of white wine, my hands
Barbarians who tear apart tigers, leopards and jackals have no problem.
In short, the Slavs did not think that the Yuan family was engaged in tyranny at all. They only hoped that the winery could provide more high-altitude spirits. The other Slavs did not mind that much.
Similarly, the Celtic tax was replaced by ironware, with an average of two hundred kilograms per capita. Of course, the Yuan family provided the iron ore, and just turned in a sufficient quantity and quality of iron on time every year. As for food and clothing, the Yuan family provided it.
, to put it simply, the old Yuan family took care of the Celtics.
Both the Celtics and the Pope are satisfied with this result. After all, the Yuan family's current prosperity is a golden thigh, and they don't mean to be harsh.
As for other ethnic groups, the Yuan family each has its own response. In short, every one of them has played its due value and contributed to the growth of Sizhao City.
"How is the construction of the underground granary going?" After confirming Huangfu Song's arrival the day after tomorrow, Yuan Tan came to Xun Chen first. In any case, Huangfu Song came for their Yuan family. Even if the crisis was over now, Yuan Tan should also
Show due sincerity to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
"Two hundred and forty-three underground granaries we have built in various places have been filled with grain. A total of 74 underground granaries around Sizhao City have been filled." Xun Chen answered directly without looking at the information, while Yuan Tan
Hearing this news, I feel relieved a lot.
The plan at that time was that the underground granaries around Sizhao City would be filled enough for the Yuan family to survive a year of famine, while the remaining underground granaries were distributed locally in the Slavic strongholds in Eastern Europe. On the one hand, transportation was not easy, and on the other hand,
It was also the Yuan family who was preparing to conquer Eastern Europe.
"We will support the legion brought by General Huangfu at the highest level and do our best to meet every request. If you are willing to stay, we will divide the houses and farmland next spring." Yuan Tan directly set the tone. Regardless of whether the other party helped or not, he should do his best when he came.
To the friendship of the landlord.
"Here!" Xun Chen cupped his fists and saluted.
"When General Huangfu comes, organize the main civil and military officials in Sizhao City to greet him." After Yuan Tan thought about it, he decided to give Huangfu Song the highest courtesy. After all, the other party represents the support of the Han Dynasty, even if it is the worst.
The situation didn't happen, but being able to come shows your sincerity.
"The construction of Xian City on the west side has not yet been completed, but it can be sheltered from wind and rain if it is stationed by the army. Moreover, the infrastructure is complete, and the city defense and residential areas have been partially completed." Xun Chen suggested after thinking about it, Yuan
Tan thought about it for a while and agreed to the proposal.
After all, Sizhao City is now full. I thought Rome was coming, and the Yuan family's main layout was to the west of the Ural Mountains. On the west side, close to the Ural Mountains, the Yuan family built a new city for expansion and outsourcing.
The arriving Han army.
Compared with Xian City, which has not yet been built here, the city over there has even prepared grain, grass, military equipment, horse farms, living quarters, etc., but it is a pity that the Romans have not come yet, leaving the Han army
Going over the mountain to live there is obviously a bit inhumane, so first take a look at the top of the city.
"Let me explain it to General Huangfu then. It's not that we don't pay attention, it's just that the Romans are too stupid." Yuan Tan said helplessly. The Romans really look down on their old Yuan family when they play like this, but it's okay to look down upon them.
, at least if they survive for another year, they will be stronger.
Xun Chen nodded, this was a matter of his own right and it was the right thing to do. Even if Yuan Tan didn't come to specifically warn him, he would handle it well.
Two days later, when the winter snow stopped for the first time, Xun Chen and others did not hesitate to use their energy to cover the entire Sizhao City under the sun. A group of civil and military officials from the Yuan family went ten miles out of the city to meet the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty. At about noon, Huangfu Song and others
Appeared mightily on the horizon.
"Oh, the old Yuan family seems to be more reliable than it has been in more than ten years." Huangfu Song looked at the Yuan family's civil and military personnel standing in the snowfield, as well as the leader Yuan Tan, and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiahou Dun and Zhang Jia were a little puzzled by this, but Huangfu Song had no intention of explaining it. After all, the Yuan family back then was really annoying to them, the generals of Guanxi. The disciples and former officials of the Yuan family in Runan are all over the world. I really don't think so.
What a joke, even Huangfu Song could feel Yuan's arrogance and alienation at the beginning.
However, those bastards of the older generation died and retreated. When he looked at the Yuan family again, Huangfusong's senses were much better.
"Huh?" Xiahou Dun suddenly exclaimed, and then stared at the girl behind Yuan Tan who was looking around, looking a little distracted.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jia asked casually, without giving any idea that Xiahou Dun would answer. However, Xiahou Dun gave a strange reply.
"The woman behind Yehou is a top military general." Xiahoudun said cautiously. Xiahoudun had gone very far on the road of inner energy leaving the body, and even touched the barrier of breaking the boundary. Therefore, when he saw the Pope
At that time, Xiahou Dun felt a faint threat.
After all, compared to the more restrained approach of the Central Plains, the Pope is free from Celtic constraints and has a relatively cheerful temperament.
"Really?" He opened his jaw and looked twice, and his expression became cautious. I have never seen him before, but he is indeed very strong.
Huangfu Song listened to Zhang Zha and Xia Houdun's nonsense and glanced twice. The Pope may have also noticed the sight. He turned around and looked at Huangfu Song for a moment. Then he seemed to finally realize that he was picking up someone, and quickly pretended that he was
He was very serious and completely stopped looking around.
Yuan Tan came with a group of people on horseback. After the two parties met, Yuan Tan introduced his civil and military skills to Huangfu Song one by one. As for the Pope, forget it, just bring him out for a meeting, forget about the introduction, Yuan Tan
Anyway, it's a shame.
"Jun Yi, long time no see." Wen Wu under Yuan Tan's command was not familiar with Huangfu Song and Xiahou Dun, but he was very familiar with Zhang Zha. Even though many of them were very confused about Zhang Zha's departure that year, they were very familiar with Zhang Zha.
On the one hand, Yuan Tan let Zhang Zha leave, and on the other hand, if Zhang Zha could come at this time, they would not be entangled in what happened back then.
"Well, long time no see." Zhang Jia looked at those brothers from back then and couldn't help but sigh. He knew very well that the choices he made back then had made it impossible for him to go back to where he was before. But there is no regret medicine in this world, so just take care of the present.
"Let's go to the city first. The camp in the west of the city has been arranged. I'd like to trouble you to rest in Xian City. The Romans have already retreated due to the winter snow. In the short term, the general will not need to cross the Ural Mountains to go to Eastern Europe." Xun Chen said to Huangfu Song.
He bowed and said a little sadly.
Huangfu Song also had some guesses about these things, so he didn't pay much attention to them. What's more, looking at the current spirit of the civil and military members of the old Yuan family, he also knew that the overall situation was definitely getting better.
"Enter the city." Yuan Tan made an invitation gesture and invited the main generals to enter the city. Huangfu Song nodded and entered with the generals who had already been arranged.
