Life Winner Training Guide

They were talking to each other, but the banquet was not officially opened.

After a while, the guests arrived, and the maids brought sake. This wine was not the white wine sold as a treasure in Qingzhou, but the winter wine brewed by You Hongyin. It had been buried under the flower tree last winter, and it was not brought out this morning to entertain everyone. Many wine lovers among the guests smelled the fragrance and shouted, "Good wine" before they drank it.

Then You Hongyin toasted a glass of wine at the main seat, which was considered as the formal opening of the banquet. Then he asked the maids to serve the dishes, but did not discuss the problem at the beginning. After all, you can't be too exploitative and force your subordinates to work on an empty stomach.

The first dishes served were four appetizers, magpie climbing plum, butterfly leisure roll, osmanthus sugar lotus root and ginger fish fillet.

Everyone ate without raising their heads.

Magpie climbing plum is a pattern dish. The main ingredients are several vegetables and pickles. As for the taste, let's not talk about it, but the meaning is very good, so everyone ate it for a good omen. But the other three dishes were all very new. At least, Lu Yun had never seen such dishes before. You know, he was born in the Jiangdong Lu family. What kind of luxurious scenes had he not seen? On weekdays, he never tires of fine food.

Especially the ginger fish fillet, which was very popular with Lu Yun. He originally loved fish, and this new method was refreshing for him.

When the dishes were halfway through, the main course came.

Sautéed beef fillet with scallions, fried scallops, eight kinds of drunken shrimp, braised fish bones and arhat prawns.

Because Jiaodong Bay is not far from Qingzhou City, and the road has been built, seafood can be considered very fresh and can be delivered to Qingzhou City. This also led to more seafood at the banquet hosted by You Hongyin.

Seeing that everyone was eating hard and no longer whispering, you can know that the dishes tasted good.

In fact, these dishes still lacked seasoning, but even so, the taste at this time was already unique in the world.

After the main course, there was a dish of soup, stewed with deer tendons and some mountain mushrooms. It was only a common dish, but the taste was not bad. Everyone had almost finished eating, and it was just right to drink soup to warm their stomachs.

Finally, two more snacks and a piece of fruit were served, and it was time to start discussing formal issues.

Lu Yun looked at his master with great resentment. He almost gave up the manners of a celebrity and ate too much. At this moment, he just wanted to stand up and take a walk, and then go back to the house to sleep! He believed that he was not the only one who had this idea.

Fortunately, those who were sitting here now had very strong self-control. Gradually, the conversations at the banquet disappeared, and everyone quieted down. You Hongyin gave the topic for today.

Even if they were full and their brains were not supplied with enough blood, the smart people in Qingzhou would not give wrong suggestions.

The discussion progressed quickly, and the general framework was also out.

First, Yizhou Wuneng immediately copied the system of Qingzhou and began to implement it.

Because Yizhou is surrounded by enemies, if it is like Qingzhou, it will just become a cash machine for the surrounding enemies. Even if they don't want to use Yizhou as a cash machine, the rich and stable living environment will attract people from all around, and it will become a target of public criticism.

Therefore, the most important thing for Yizhou is to build a solid city fortress, quickly expand its armaments, and at the same time incorporate scattered villages in the wasteland. After having the ability to protect itself, it will consider developing people's livelihood.

During this period, Yizhou itself cannot bear such heavy labor and military service, and there is no hope for much production in the fields, so the state will have to rely on Qingzhou for support.

Qingzhou can afford it, but this way of management is wrong, so the key point now is to find a way to feed everyone in the war without wasting manpower based on the characteristics of Yizhou itself.

But this method is simply to create something out of nothing, and everyone is helpless.

Lu Yun drank tea and took a piece of cake. His strength lies in the overall situation. He can't be counted on for such practical matters related to people's livelihood. He used to rely on his brother Lu Xuan for support.

Some people proposed to build sentry towers and Wubao to bring good fields into the protection scope at the lowest cost, and then feed the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou by planting these good fields.

But this method was rejected. The method is good, but it is not suitable for Yizhou now. It will be the best time to use this method after Yizhou develops for two or three years.

You know, Yizhou's main enemy is still Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan was born in the Xiongnu, and his strongest troops are cavalry.

So it is unrealistic to rely on the Wubao checkpoint to stop the cavalry. There is no need for many people. As long as a team of cavalry re-enters the defense line and sets a fire at the harvest season, a season of hard work will be in vain.

Before the army of Yizhou is officially strong and capable of confronting Liu Yuan's army, it is difficult for Yizhou to develop agriculture as comprehensively as Qingzhou.

Then someone proposed to build Yizhou into a commercial center.

Even in Liu Yuan's Han Kingdom, there were merchants. Whether it was Xianbei, Youzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, etc., which were bordering or not far from Yizhou, they all needed a commercial transit station. If Yizhou was built into such a commercial center, then there would be no need to worry about the people of Yizhou having no food to eat. By then, there would definitely be many job opportunities, and at the same time, the Yizhou government would have a lot more taxes, enough to support the Yizhou military and civilians.

The person who proposed this idea was named Zhu Qing, a clerk in Changguang City who came with Ge Hong. You Hongyin took a look at him and felt that this person could be trained more, and he might get a talent that could be of great use in the future.

However, although this method is good, it does not work immediately. The word "business" has a very important characteristic, that is, "trust". Only when merchants give credit can the business expand, and only when the government gets the trust of merchants and customers can it attract more people.

However, Yizhou today does not have such conditions to make merchants and customers trust it. Only when the military force is strong and a few more victories are won can it be announced to the world that Yizhou is capable of guaranteeing the safety of everyone. No matter whether it is people or goods, as long as they enter Yizhou, no one dares to invade.

Therefore, this proposal was also rejected.

In the end, it was You Hongyin who made the decision.

Yizhou needs to expand its army and train soldiers. In addition to the logistics of food and wages, horses and armaments are the top priorities.

Chapter 211: The Elegance of Famous Scholars (Thirty-eight)

Both horses and armaments are the top priorities for training elite soldiers.

Among them, horse breeding is not suitable in either Qingzhou or Yizhou, so in the end it still depends on trading with the grassland tribes, which is not mentioned for the time being.

Another thing is armaments. There are not many iron and copper mines in Qingzhou. The surface mineral reserves are scarce and difficult to collect. At the beginning, most of the iron was obtained through sea trade. The amount of money spent is countless, which can be regarded as a major key project of Qingzhou's fiscal output.

If Jizhou expands its army on a large scale, food is not a problem, but weapons, armor and other armaments are the biggest cost.

So You Hongyin decided to build iron mines and iron forging workshops on a large scale to reduce military expenditure.

And Yizhou meets such conditions.

Sufficient iron ore resources. When his apprentice Shen Yuan was drawing, he had already discovered several iron ore points, but he knew that this kind of information was confidential, so he didn't even mark it on the map, but sent it directly to him through Hongyan using pigeons to send letters.

Sufficient manpower. Whether it is mining ore or forging ore, this process requires a lot of manpower. There are not many idle manpower in Qingzhou, and Yizhou is just right.

Once Yizhou starts producing armaments, it won't have to worry about whether it can support itself. If it can't, it can still do arms business. Some inferior armaments can be sold to others. Ha, war money is the easiest to make.

Finally, the plan is to expand Yizhou's army on a large scale, and at the same time build new cities or expand old cities on various traffic arteries and old cities. For the convenience of transportation, a road will be built to connect Qingzhou and Yizhou. Of course, these works are mostly done in the form of corvée, but the treatment of corvée is not much different from that of Qingzhou corvée, with food and some food. ⊙This work is organized and uploaded by ⊙SiTu⊙Online⊙Reading⊙Netizens⊙

When the city and the road are almost built, they will start to mine and smelt iron to make weapons and armor. In addition, fortresses and beacon towers are built in places close to the city, and canals are built in these fields for cultivation.

Afterwards, everyone discussed and revised some details of the plan. After it was really decided, some people started to talk and laugh. There were few idle people in the place where the lord was in charge, and everyone had countless work to do.

Others agreed that those who were busy all day long did not think it was so hard. They all believed that the hard work at the moment was just for a happier future, for the young to be raised, the old to be supported, and the world to be peaceful and no longer displaced.

This is also the common wish of all knowledgeable people.

Time passed quickly, and it was already the third year of Jiankang.

Sima Yue moved south with the emperor. Originally, he planned to make Guangling the capital, but in the end, because of the Chen Min Rebellion, he settled down in Jiankang first. However, when Chen Min was destroyed, Sima Rui, who had made great contributions, refused to give up Guangling. So Sima Yue had to compromise and changed the capital Guangling to Jiankang, and in order to show the new atmosphere of the new capital, he also changed the year name to Jiankang.

Sima Rui's title was King of Guangling. Former emperors and deceased princes were all given the title of King of Guangling. Sima Rui felt that this title was very important. As a big city, Guangling provided him with unimaginable tax revenue every year. He didn't want to just give it to Sima Yue.

Sima Yue's so-called "holding the emperor hostage to command the princes" was effective for others, but it had no effect on Sima Rui.

Moreover, compared with Sima Yue, who was once the King of Donghai, Sima Rui had much more connections in the south. Most of the southern families basically supported Sima Rui, while some northern families did not necessarily support Sima Yue. Sima Rui laughed in his heart, wondering who the guy who suggested Sima Yue to move the capital was. He was simply crazy.

Indeed, after the relocation of the capital, the power of the northern aristocratic families was greatly reduced, and their influence was much weaker than before. Of course, this was not the case for the top few families. Even if they came to the south, they still had enough followers and tenants. As long as they found a large enough piece of land, they could still be the top aristocratic families like in the north. What's more, they even made arrangements in the south early on. Not only did they make friends with the southern aristocrats, but they also had disciples in their families who defected to the southern prince Sima Rui.

This is the aristocratic family. It is very difficult for them to be loyal to one person, unless that person is the emperor who unifies the world. But it is this kind of multi-party investment that allows these aristocratic families to be passed down from generation to generation. Even if one line is cut off, there is another line to protect. Otherwise, where would the saying of a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family come from.

But soon, Sima Rui's face was swollen.

Although everyone says that a dragon crossing the river cannot suppress a local snake, a dragon crossing the river that sticks together is no worse than a local snake.

Sima Yue was indeed a wise prince. He began to implement the overseas county system.

What does overseas county system mean? It means that the original counties are not moved, but new counties are chosen to accommodate the nobles and people who moved here from the north.

In fact, the northerners left their hometowns and could not compete with the southerners, but they could start a new life. The northerners gathered together again, which was equivalent to transplanting the northern counties directly to the south.

It was a very shameless way of parasitism, but this parasitic interest transfer allowed the northern noble families to breathe a sigh of relief and temporarily stabilize.

But behind this stability was the contradiction and struggle between the northern and southern nobles hidden under the waves.

This method was indeed good and solved the biggest crisis at the time. You must know that Sima Yue's power came from the emperor, and the emperor had the orthodox imperial power with the support of various noble families. If the northern nobles failed, the imperial power would become empty talk.

Sima Yue's palace in Jiankang city occupied half of the street, but Sima Yue still disliked that the palace was not grand enough. It was not his fault. Since Sima Yue was born, the house he lived in had never been as small as the one he lived in now. There was almost no place for his wives and concubines in the palace.
