Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Left Pocket Money Move To The Right Pocket
The moment Zang Ba fell from his horse, he thought of a person in a daze. In Hulao Pass, he dared to single-handedly challenge Lu Bu, Zhang Fei. After that, he black out.
Zhang Fei lifted up Zang Ba who had fallen off the horse so that the cavalry behind him would not step over his body. He could see that the reason Zang Ba lost was not because he was too weak, but because the opponent he encountered was already inhuman.
"Zang Ba has been taken down by me, abandon your weapons and surrender!" Zhang Fei roared, his voice directly suppressing the screams of Zang Ba's army.
"Surrender!" The commander was captured, and the army was divided. There is only one dead end without surrendering. Zang Ba's army, who had no morale, completely lost his fighting spirit after Zang Ba was captured. Under Zhang Fei's roar, the whole army completely wilted like a frosted eggplant.
Hua Xiong commanded his army to capture Zang Ba's army. Originally, after this kind of war, the capture of the prisoners was done by the rear army. After all, the front army was basically exhausted after a battle.
Hua Xiong has only so many people in total, and there is no rear army at all, and the original bandit army did not have such a thing as human right under Hua Xiong's command. Hua Xiong said that capturing the prisoner is much safer than climbing a cliff with a boulder on your back. Besides, this group of bastards have been defeated before, so what is there to worry about.
Hua Xiong's bandit army sorted out five hundred lightly wounded people under Hua Xiong's arrangement and drove the captives together like sheep, and another 3,000 people were placed on guard. The rest were scattered like scouts to give an early warning.
As for those captured by the Hua Xiong bandit army, which was only one twentieth of the army and were all lightly wounded, none of them dared to resist during the march. It seems that Zang Ba's army was basically defeated. At least for a short time, the thought of resisting the silent army that defeated them will not appear at all.
"Zijian, I didn't think you were really good at training!" Zhang Fei held Zang Ba and gave a thumbs up to Hua Xiong who was standing on the boulder.
"Don't mention it, I don't know what's going on. The military adviser asked me to train like this. I still don't understand why. These people are not afraid of death and will do whatever I say." Hua Xiong waved his hand saying that this was not a question of his ability to train troops, it was entirely Chen Xi's ability.
"Oh, I didn't expect Chen Xi to have such a method. He didn't teach me, Zhang Fei. I will ask him when I go back." Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and then shouted angrily to give Chen Xi a good look.
"Don't ask the military adviser on this kind of thing. Wake up Zang Ba. Then you go back and lead the troops to seal the main roads around the area. The military division ordered us to catch Sun Guan. I still don't know where Sun Guan is. How do I catch this? I hope Zang Ba knows." Hua Xiong said with a wry smile. The task Chen Xi gave him is not difficult. The difficulty is to find Sun Guan in Taishan. Now the only one that can know is Zang Ba, this is why Hua Xiong took the risk to attack Zang Ba.
Zhang Fei found a basin of water and directly splashed it on Zang Ba to wake him up. He didn't worry about Zang Ba's wound getting infected, and he didn't have to worry about preferential treatment for prisoners of war. In this era, if you are basically pleasing to the eyes, they will treat you preferentially. Now, who made you a prisoner of war? It is said that a master at the level of refining qi into liquid does not have to worry about getting sick. General minor illnesses are not difficult to get rid of, but once they get sick, they are basically not far from dying.
"Cough, cough, cough." Zang Ba opened his eyes while coughing up blood. Seeing the two people he had seen before were looking at him, he knew that he had been captured. He said, "I want to know if I was defeated in the hands of Yan Ren Zhang Fei."
" Yeah. Zhang Fei, people know you, see if it's your fellow." Hua Xiong laughed and teased.
"Hmph, I don't any fellow thief. He most likely figure it out from my strong martial arts and burly figure." Zhang Fei said uncomfortably.
"You don't need to say that. Chen Xi has already said that 80% of the people in this world who don't recognize you can recognize your snake spear. You are not as good as your weapon." Hua Xiong continued to tease Zhang Fei. His fear for Zhang Fei is basically absent.
"You said, how did you recognize it?" Zhang Fei grabbed Zang Ba and asked with a grim look.
Hua Xiong squinted at Zang Ba with half-closed eyes. This was what he learned from Guan Yu. Looking at people with this look makes people feel uniquely murderous, and it looks very majestic. At least now Zang Ba is covered in cold sweat with this look.
"Okay, I'm not joking anymore. Zhang Fei, give Zang Ba to me, I still have something to ask him." Hua Xiong is not a person who is all strict, and just made a few jokes.
"I'll leave it to you. After seeing you fight a battle, I feel itchy, but unfortunately, I only have cavalry under me, so I can't fight in the mountains." Zhang Fei threw Zang Ba to Hua Xiong and said helplessly." It seems that I can only go to Qingzhou with my second brother to gather the refugees in Qingzhou."
At the beginning in the troubled times, the people no longer recognize the Han Room, and the pure disaster relief has been unable to spread out. The reason is very simple. The people don't believe that you will give out food for no reason. Even if someone spreads it to Qingzhou, the displaced people are unwilling to believe it. They believe that they can feed their family with their own strength.
Based on this reality, Chen Xi directly extinguished Liu Bei's idea of opening a warehouse to release the grains. It is not worthwhile to spend so much grain to create such little profit. Hundreds of thousands of living people with hands and feet can't create profit? This is all money.
On the contrary, after the grains are distributed and they are fed, they have now become a burdened. Instead of opening the warehouse for food, let these refugees directly work. The money and food are treated as every day wages, which is more harmonious.
Chen Xi put out the idea to purely open warehouse for food, and immediately began to use it to pay for work. Since they have hands and feet, it is better for them to eat the food they earn than the food from disaster relief. Although national disaster relief is also an obligation, isn't it more reasonable to work for food? By the way, it can also stimulate economic circulation, and give them a small amount of money to let them see more hope than more promise.
With this idea in mind, Chen Xi didn't even plan to open the warehouse to release the grain anymore. Anyway, the country's credibility is basically gone. It's better to build a new trust and in the process other things can also be done.
For example, using the idea fishing people by teaching them how to build houses, and giving them food when they have finished building. This tell the refugees that the wages previously issued to you can be used to buy the houses you built. If there is not enough money, then they only need to pay a deposit. The government can loan it to you first, and then pay it back when you have the money.
Similarly, if you want to farm land but don't have the money to buy land, the government can still grant you the land. You can follow Zhao Yun's order on the Tuntian system, 40% is the national tax and 10% is the rental fee. After five years, only the national tax will need to be paid. The field will then be yours. Of course, this grants is only for 50 acres for each adult.
Look, what a good policy, even Liu Bei was shocked, and he even asked Chen Xi if the money and food were enough to do this? In the end, Chen Xi smiled and didn't say anything. He wanted to ask Liu Bei, when did your eyes see that I spent money. Is this not about transferring the money in the left pocket to the right pocket and making a spending circle. In the end, the money is still not in his hand, but instead, you have more people making money.
