Without spending a single soldier, he killed Zhou Zha, Zhou Zha's subordinates were 10,000 people, in addition to more than 2,000 loyal escapes, and more than 500 died due to cannibalism, and more than 7,000 people all fell to Yang Yan, but unfortunately, Zhou Lin ran away.
Although this battle is not a tough battle in the real sense, and although Yang Yan's role cannot be ignored, Xun Guan's whole person's spirit is different, after all, she commanded it, and she took the idea.
This is her first big victory since she took charge of the army, but at the moment she can't care about rejoicing, and the imminent problem is the morale of the army.
In fact, the current situation is far more difficult than when Yang Yan first arrived in Tancheng, Yang Yan's army is only 2,000, and there are nearly 30,000 men, women and children in the team, and the food and drink of these 30,000 people is a problem.
In the past, the Zhou family had land, but now the land is gone, and Concubine Pei does not even have an acre of land in her hands, and because of the turmoil in Jiankang, the big families have fled, and the purchasing power has seriously declined.
Besides, Danyang Jingi, the heart is heavy, and it is impossible to rob the house again, Xun Guan's excitement quickly passed, and he turned his head and said: "Yang Yanzhi, there are so many people, even if I gather the power of Xun Mansion and Concubine Pei, I can't afford to raise them, or you can take some people to Tancheng, just leave two or three thousand troops for me, I think with the strength of my family and the income from Concubine Pei's sale of oil and salt, I can barely support it, and when the turmoil in Beijing stops, the rich families will come back one after another, and the situation should also improve." “ Yang Yan shook his head: "It's good if the court doesn't hold me accountable for destroying the Zhou family, how can I be allowed to take the Zhou family away and secretly bring three or five hundred no problem, how can tens of thousands of people bring money and food to me, these old and weak women and children can't always eat idle meals, they have to find some work for them to do, these days temporarily stationed in Jiangcheng, integrate the army, and when they return to Jiankang, they are already raw rice cooked and mature, and the scholars surnamed Wu are powerless to do anything about ghosts, you first find me a craftsman who is good at spinning and weaving." “ "What are you going to do?"
Xun Guan's eyes flashed with doubt.
Yang Yan was about to explain, but Jiang Yan, who was left on the boat, hurried over and said, "The last general, General He, and the girl have a great victory."
Now everyone in the army can see that Yang Yan and Xun Guan have a problem, and in line with the principle of invincible pillow wind, Jiang Yan doesn't mind holding a handful of Xun Guan.
Sure enough, a smile appeared on the corner of Xun Guan's mouth.
Yang Yan also smiled and waved his hand: "Zhou Zatu chicken tile dog, it's not worth mentioning, there can be movement on the dock in the past two days" "I'm about to report to the general" Jiang Yan showed a strange look and said in a hurry.
In the first two nights of Yang Yan's return to the river, Diao Xie hurriedly crossed the river with his entourage, but there was an internal commotion in the team, and his subordinates wanted to kill Diao Xie to ask Wang Dun for credit, and the accompanying troops took their lives as the price to protect Diao Xie and ran to the dock alone, due to the war, the defenders had already retreated to the city of Jiangcheng, and the original boat was sailed away by Liu Kui, who crossed the river first, and never returned, so Diao Xie called for help to Yang Yan's boat.
Jiang Yan didn't want to do much, but since Diao Xie opened his mouth, it was not appropriate to see that he was killed, so he sent troops to get off the boat, killed all the officials under Diao Xie, stripped his clothes and threw them into the Yangtze River, and put Diao Xie under house arrest on the boat.
Diao Xie was injured and is recuperating with peace of mind.
Xun Guan was quite surprised, turned his head and said: "Although Duke Xuan Liang is often embarrassed by you, but this Duke is different from Liu Kui, the Duke is loyal to the country, does not seek personal gain, but is a loyal and upright minister, of course, if you have other considerations, you can kill him, anyway, people don't know it." ” Yang Yan had a very absurd feeling in his heart, the history books clearly recorded that Diao Xie was killed by the entourage because of his strict treatment of people, Yu Jiangcheng was killed by the entourage, Yang Yan did not intend to intervene, let Diao Xie fend for himself, but Diao Xie still fell into his own hands, and Xun Guan's original intention of saying this was not to intercede for Diao Xie Yang Yan waved his hand: "Diao Gong and I also have some origins, how could I kill him, General Jiang, you go back first, and I will visit Diao Gong again in a while, don't make a show." “ "No" Seeing that Yang Yan didn't mean to blame, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the ship.
Yang Yan said to Xun Guan again: "Go find someone, bring me paper and pencils, and ask for charcoal."
"Hmph" Xun Guan snorted dissatisfied, turned around and went out to order, after a while, the pen and paper were sent first, Yang Yan began to draw, a very strange spinning machine gradually jumped on the paper, and the main component of the ordinary spinning wheel is only a wooden wheel, this spinning machine, like a car, the body of the car side by side eight spindles, there are side wheels outside.
"What are you drawing?"
Xun Guan was puzzled.
Yang Yan was ashamed to say: "This is a new type of spinning machine invented by me, and the efficiency can reach dozens of times that of the original spinning machine."
The spinning machine painted by Yang Yan is the Jenny spinning machine, the principle of the Jenny spinning machine is very simple, just want to get it and the unexpected problem, after listening to the explanation, Xun Guan couldn't help but glance at Yang Yan twice, and secretly said that this guy will not even be proficient in spinning and weaving Sure enough, Yang Yan drew another picture, this picture is the shuttle loom, the core of the technology is the shuttle, that is, the shuttle installed in the chute with a small wheel, the two ends of the chute are equipped with springs, so that the shuttle can quickly travel back and forth, compared with the traditional loom, it can weave a wider cloth, and in the past, the weaving needs two people to operate, and the application of the shuttle loom only needs one person, the speed is faster, and the efficiency is higher.
Originally, the shuttle loom should not appear in this era, the most critical part of its operation is the spring, it happened that Yang Yan arrived in Tancheng to get the spring, although there is no one at hand, but the technology has been mastered, and it is not too troublesome to remake.
Xun Guan looked at it for a long time, nodded and said: "The spinning machine and the loom cooperate with each other, you can weave more cloth, I understand what you mean, let the women in the army spin and weave cloth to support the army, but where did you get so much hemp and silk?"
Yang Yan groaned: "This question is a good question, in the long run, you can organize a part of Ding Zhuang to open up wasteland, plant mulberry and raise silkworms, or you can ask the Bao family and the Ge family Xiao family to plant mulberry hemp, but the far water does not save the thirst, I will find a way to go back to Jiankang." “ Xun Guan muttered: "How do I feel that you are all working hard, and I can't help at all." “ Yang Yan smiled slightly, in fact, it is not enough to have mulberry hemp, Jenny spinning machine is mainly used in cotton spinning and wool spinning, for the time being, cotton has been introduced to China in the Han Dynasty, but it is only limited to the Western Regions, the variety is not very good, and it is also necessary to introduce kapok from the body poison, and the premise of wool spinning is to raise sheep, and it is not considered for the time being, but even so, it can greatly increase the output of silk and linen, which is already a great achievement.
Of course, due to the limited manpower factor, a large planting of mulberry hemp will reduce a large amount of grain production, and because the profit of planting mulberry hemp is much higher than that of growing grain, once the spinning machine and loom are popularized and applied, the powerful landlords will spontaneously increase the planting of mulberry hemp and reduce the planting of grain, which is the law of economy, not to transfer by any human will, and this is precisely the result that Yang Yan needs.
He planted grain in a large area of Jiangdong, and gradually increased grain output through seed selection and then application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so as to supply grain to Jiangdong in the future and be a good granary for the people of Jiangdong.
"Isn't that proud?"
Xun Guan became angry as soon as he saw Yang Yan's pretending to be forced, and habitually twisted Yang Yan's waist and eyes.
"Oops" Yang Yan screamed and said speechlessly: "Girl, you can't be gentle" Xun Guan snorted: "If you want to be gentle, go to Xun Hua" As soon as these words came out, Xun Guan realized the language problem, and couldn't help but blush, and turned his head to hide the panic in his heart.
Yang Yan smiled, took advantage of the situation to hold Xun Guan's hand, Xun Guan's delicate body trembled slightly, she suddenly thought of Uncle Clan's jokes, but if Uncle Clan really protects himself for this guy, judging from Jiajun's attitude, I am afraid that he will push the boat down the river, Lu Ye can handle Ge Hong, but he can't control her Xun family.
It's just Ge Huiniang's job That girl is wise, how can she rob Hui Niang's husband Damn, I'm just friends with Yang Yanzhi, where do I want to go Xun Guan woke up suddenly, struggled, didn't break away, struggled again, still didn't break away, couldn't help but glared at Yang Yan angrily, Yang Yan didn't let it go at all, and pinched it tighter, so he accepted his fate.
Xun Guan's kung fu is higher than Xun Hua's, his hands are more plain white than Xun Hua, there is no cocoon in his palm, it is said that his hands are connected to his heart, Yang Yan held Xun Guan's hand, as if he was in harmony with his heart, while kneading with satisfaction, he asked: "The spinning machine is not famous, I want to crown it in the name of a girl, so it is called Xun Guan spinning machine, how" "What Xun Irrigation Spinning Machine" Xun Guan looked at it in surprise
