Liu Yu first fetched a few buckets of cold water by the well to rinse off the wine on his body, and then used his strength to dry the water vapor, and then entered Liu Yu's room. As soon as I entered the room, I saw that Cai Yan was also here, chatting with Liu Yan energetically!

Seeing Liu Yu, Liu Yu immediately stood up, pulled the somewhat shy Cai Yan to Liu Yu, and complained: "Why did we make our sisters wait so long?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Cai Yan, who was peeking at Liu Yu, and asked with a smile: "Why are you together, you don't want to learn from those guys outside and want to fight me, right?" ”

Cai Yan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was ashamed, lowered his head and played with the corners of his clothes, not daring to talk. Liu Xuan couldn't look at it from the side, stepped forward, and scolded with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? Yan'er is still a yellow flower girl, if you want to say it, you have to wait until tonight! ”

Liu Yu hugged the two of them in laughter and walked towards the new bed covered with dragon and phoenix quilts. Liu Yu pulled them to sit on the edge of the bed, reached out to hold Cai Yan's slightly trembling little hand, and said softly: "Yan'er, you belong to me from now on!" ”

Cai Yan raised his head and looked at Liu Yu, and said affectionately: "Yes, I belong to you!" It's been since a long time ago! ”

Liu Yu smiled and said, "There is still one last step left, you really belong to me!" Now, let's ...... Hey, hey, hey! ”

Just as Liu Yu was about to carry them to bed, Liu Yu suddenly broke free of Liu Yu's arm. Then in Liu Yu's stunned eyes, he smiled and said, "You are Sister Yan'er alone tonight!" ”

Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and then suddenly suddenly. So Liu Yu winked at her. ** said: "However, from tomorrow night, you will really use the wheel warfare method on me!" You know. I'm doing this for your good! ”

Liu Yan's cheeks turned crimson, and he said coquettishly: "You are really a big-pervert-ghost!" People don't pay attention to you! After speaking, he stepped on Liu Yu fiercely, and then ran out of the door. In addition to the pain, Liu Yu was left with the beautiful back and crisp laughter.

Hmph, count yourself as a fast runner! But your good sister is still here, so I'll collect some interest from her first! Liu Yu turned his head and glared viciously at Cai Yan, who was laughing non-stop.

Cai Yan was startled, and she retreated to the corner of the bed. Curled up and asked timidly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Liu Yu rubbed his hands and licked his lips. Kinky - smiled and said, "What do you think I'm going to 'do'?" After speaking, he pounced on her in Cai Yan's screams......

……

patted Cai Yan, who was sleeping in the crook of his arm, and Liu Yu called softly: "Yan'er, Yan'er, it's time to get up." The sun is shining on me. Don't get up again. You're going to be laughed at! ”

Cai Yan opened his eyes lazily, wrinkled his nose at Liu Yu, and said in a greasy voice: "Husband, people don't even have the strength to move their fingers now, so you can let people sleep for a while!" If my sister dares to laugh at me, husband, you will beat her...... Hee-hee, little butt! ”

Looking at this funny sleeping beauty, Liu Yu shook his head helplessly. Never mind. Just let her sleep a little longer! Although Liu Yu was very gentle last night, Cai Yan was a little crazy. This made Liu Yu realize that she was actually a hard-to-find flattering person in the world. Liu Yu finally knew why Wei Zhongdao in history died early......

Under the service of Ren Hongchang. Liu Yu quickly finished washing. When he was about to go out, Ren Hongchang suddenly asked softly: "Master, will you take the little maid in the future?" ”

Liu Yu looked at her quietly for a while, and finally said in her expectant gaze: "If you still want to marry me when you are sixteen years old, then I will accept you!" ”

After Ren Hongchang heard this, he was ecstatic. She muttered to herself: "Sixteen years old, sixteen years old", and then said loudly to Liu Yu: "Master, you must wait for the little maid!" ”

Why does this little girl's words sound like I'm going to die soon! Liu Yu shook his head and walked out of the door. greeted Cai Yong first, and then walked towards the garden where Liu Yu practiced in the morning. Although the national situation of this era is polygamy, and Liu Yu is also a generous woman with traditional virtues, Liu Yu still wants to comfort her. After all, no woman can really be jealous, Liu Yu doesn't want the woman he loves to be depressed!

#############################################################

Liu Yu waited for the food shortage predicted by You Heng in his deep affection, but the location where he was born was in Qinghai, Hebei, and Yansanzhou. In Yuzhou, on the other hand, because the measures were properly and thoroughly implemented, there were not many incidents of death due to starvation. It is precisely because of this that a large number of refugees from Qinghai, Hebei, and Yanzhou flocked to Liu Yuyuzhou.

"Lord, if it goes on like this, Yuzhou must be chaotic!" In the chamber, Lu Qian and Mao Jue made a summary conclusion on the security problems brought by the large number of refugees to Yuzhou.

This is indeed a problem. Most of the people who can endure hunger and travel long distances to Yuzhou are young and strong young adults. Before receiving government relief, a small number of unscrupulous people had bad intentions. Although they are not afraid, they will also cause great economic losses to Liu Yu, which Liu Yu never wants to see!

When Liu Yu was thinking about the solution, Chen Qun, who was in charge of Yuzhou's infrastructure construction, suddenly spoke: "Lord, do you think we can use work for relief?" ”

Liu Yu's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you mean to let those refugees build roads and cities for us in Yuzhou, in exchange for their living rations?" ”

"Yes. In this way, it can not only prevent refugees from having nothing to do, but also speed up the construction of Yuzhou! ”

Chen Qun's method was approved by everyone, and everyone added it one after another. While they weren't paying attention, Liu Yu quietly slipped away! With these political talents in hand, why does Liu Yu have to do it himself? What's more, Liu Yu also received a message from Tang Zhou, Liu Yu can't use the thousand-mile sound transmission technique in front of these people, right? If this is really done, I am afraid that Liu Yu's subordinates will panic because they think that Liu Yu is suffering from hypothesis!

Coming to the quiet room where he practiced internal skills, Liu Yu responded to Tang Zhou's call request.

"Master, please forgive the sin of the minions for disturbing!"

"Just say anything!"

"Yes, master! Pass guò for three months of transshipment. The minions have emptied all four treasure vaults of the Taiping Sect. According to Su Shuang's inventory, there are: all kinds of money and jewelry are about 13,740,000 taels of silver; grain 189,645 stones; In addition, there are armor for 30,000 men and 250,000 arrows. ”

"Hahaha, well done!"

"Thank you for the compliment. The minions will definitely do better! The slave knew that the master was now worried about the large number of people under his rule and the lack of food, so he had asked Su Shuang to cooperate in secretly loading the grain on the ship, preparing to transport it to the Guandu Wharf in batches, and asked the master to send someone to pick it up. ”

Liu Yu really praised Tang Zhou a few words, and then ordered him to leave five million taels of silver as funds for the expansion of Xinghua Society, and then hand over the rest of his belongings to Su Shuang for disposal. At the end of the day, Liu Yu instructed him to check the news of Sun Jian, a native of Fuchun, Wu County.

Among the three giants, only Sun Jian and Liu Yu have not seen it. It stands to reason that he also participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising. But Liu Yu didn't hear a little news about him, which is completely unscientific!

###########################################################

There are nearly 200,000 stone of grain transported by Tang Zhou, plus rice and noodles stolen by the Xingchanglong Trading Company from profiteers from all over the country. Liu Yu survived the crisis of food shortage very smoothly. Liu Yu, who has countless living people, is worshiped as the protector of the people, and many families have Liu Yu's birth card. There are even people singing "Liu Yu has a sword, there is food in the world", "eat his mother, wear his mother". There is no shortage of food under Liu Yu's rule"......

This made Liu Yu and the others laugh at Liu Yu for several days. Liu Yu was angry and ordered Xinghua Society to investigate. In the end, it turned out that these ballads came from the mouths of more than a thousand thinkers! So, Liu Yu found Dong Zhao, who was in charge of propaganda work.

"Why do you ask people to sing those songs?"

"My lord, my subordinates are doing this for your own good. If you don't take this opportunity to leave a good image in the hearts of the people, how can you be worthy of the food we sent? ”

Although Liu Yu agreed with Dong Zhao's point of view, he couldn't help but criticize him: "Even if you want to establish a great image of Liu Yu, you should write some better words!" Now what do those look like! ”

Dong Zhao retorted confidently: "The subordinates are not written for the scholars, this kind of tone is to the taste of the common people!" ”

……

The direct consequence of this incident is that after the autumn harvest, there are many refugees who want to stay in Yuzhou and not return to their hometowns! Liu Yu couldn't ask for this. An agrarian reform decree was issued immediately.

Liu Yu ordered all landless peasants to go through the naturalization procedures or show their household registration certificates at local governments from now on, so that each of them could be allocated 10 mu of cultivated land. And those who have a field of residence also need to go to register. More than 10 acres are retained, and less than 10 acres are supplemented; Otherwise, it will be regarded as the official land it owns.

The field yield in this time and space is neither too much nor too little, and the average yield per mu is about 500 catties in a relatively mature area like Yuzhou. Therefore, Liu Yu ordered that from now on, each mu of cultivated land only needs to pay 80 catties of grain for field tax at each harvest, and the rest will belong to himself. However, those who have immediate family members in the army will enjoy the preferential treatment of halving the land tax on 10 acres of cultivated land. However, all newly allocated fields are not allowed to be bought or sold or given away, but can only be passed down from generation to generation; If they are unable to cultivate, they must be returned to the government.

As soon as this order was given, the people applauded, and the civil officials shouted tired. Two months later, Liu Yu attended the work meeting chaired by You Heng again for this matter.

"My lord, at present, a total of 976,852 people have come to register, and more than 9.77 million mu of cultivated land has been divided."

"How can there be so many people?"

"In addition to refugees and farmers in the state, displaced people from all over the country and relatives of our soldiers also came from far and wide. The report in the hands of the subordinates was made the day before yesterday, and now there are probably hundreds more people registered! ”

"How much arable land is there in Yuzhou now, and is it enough to divide it?"

"Official land, military land, private land, plus the fields that have been divided this time, Yuzhou has a total of nearly 30 million mu of cultivated land, and there are more than 20 million mu of arable land that has not yet been opened."

"How many people do we have under our rule? Is there enough food to eat? ”

"The total urban and rural population is more than 6.28 million. This year, because we planted in time and in good weather, the harvest was excellent, enough to sustain the ration of 10 million people until next autumn! ”

"In other words, I have a large number of laborers without any trouble!"

“…… It's not that there are no troubles at all! ”

Liu Yu asked with some surprise: "How do you say this?" ”

You Heng glared at Liu Yu and said, "It's not your lord's order, 'If you have immediate family members in the army, your land tax will be halved'. Now there are at least 60,000 or 70,000 people clamoring to join the army every day. ”

"That's a good thing! Anyway, we have enough food, and there is no shortage of land taxes for tens of thousands of people, why are you so scolded! ”

You Heng was angry when he heard this: "Who said that his subordinates slammed the door? Subordinates, this is all for the sake of you! Yuzhou is close to Sili. We have another 300,000 troops, how can the imperial court not pay attention to us. My lord, you have suddenly increased your troops by 60,000 or 70,000 now, and the court doesn't think it's strange that you want to rebel? ”

Dian Wei, the military representative who had not spoken, jumped up and shouted: "If you rebel, you will rebel, we are afraid of a bird in the court!" ”

Silence raided the conference hall, and after a while, Xun Yu suddenly stood up. He glanced at the crowd first. Then he looked directly at Liu Yu and said, "My subordinates absolutely believe that the lord can become a generation of heroes comparable to Han Wu." It's just that the subordinates want to ask the lord, have you ever thought about replacing it? ”

What does Xun Yu mean by this? Persuade me to be emperor? It shouldn't be possible! Back then, Cao Cao just wanted to be king. He didn't even care about Yiqiē's opposition, so how could he build a rebellion now? However, I do have the idea of establishing a new dynasty......

Liu Yu was silent for a moment and stood up. Take in the various expressions of the subordinate warriors. Then he stared at Xun Yu and said slowly: "The emperor is not a good messenger: if he does not do it well, he will attract infamy from future generations; And if you want to do well, you have to get up early and work hard. So I really haven't thought about being emperor for a while! Looking at Xun Yu's relieved expression, Liu Yu asked again: "I wonder what your ministers think of the current situation?" ”

Guo Jia, Fu Zhu and the others looked at each other, and then Guo Jia got up and replied: "After the analysis of the news from the Xinghua Society, the ministers all think that the world is about to be in chaos!" ”

"How is that possible? Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has subsided, Liangzhou Han Sui is also about to fall, although there are bandits in the world. But the imperial court has ordered troops to be recruited and suppressed in various places, what kind of chaos can there be? "It was Liu Ye, a patriarch of the Han family, who spoke.

Guo Jia shook his head. Explained: "This is the root cause of the chaos! The current emperor and several former emperors are so extravagant that the treasury is empty, and they cannot support the army to conquer the bandits. As a last resort, the county governments in various places were ordered to recruit their own soldiers. And it is difficult for the county guards to cook without rice, and they have to rely on the wealthy and powerful families in various places. In this way, the military power will be in the hands of local forces, and it will be difficult to take it back when the time comes! ”

Well, it is worthy of several wise men in the late Han Dynasty, and they are really far-sighted! Liu Yu glanced at the subordinates who were deep in thought, and then said to You Heng who was smiling, "Tell me what you think." ”

You Heng glanced at Liu Yu deeply and said, "The minister has also noticed the astrological aspect of the great chaos in the Lord world in the past few months, and the minister has also appeared next to the Emperor Star four new stars, one of which is extremely bright, once overshadowing the light of the Emperor Star. ”

Four new stars? It doesn't mean me and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian...... Wait, it seems that Guo Jia and You Heng both called themselves "ministers" just now, what do they mean by this? Did they indicate to me that they would henceforth be my retainers and not officials of the Han Dynasty?

After hearing You Heng's words, everyone stared at Liu Yu with strange eyes. And some sensitive people who noticed the change in his and Guo Jia's name for Liu Yu kept changing their faces. After a while, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao took the lead in breaking the silence and said in unison: "The ministers are willing to follow the lord and never leave until death!" ”

Everyone who came to their senses also said respectfully: "The ministers swear to follow the lord to the death!" ”

Dian Wei scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing here?" Haven't we been loyal to the Lord for a long time? Why do you want to do more? ”

Liu Yu had no choice but to explain to him with a smile: "The title of 'subordinate' represents that we are superiors and subordinates, colleagues, and courtiers of the Han Dynasty. And the title of 'minister' means that you are my retainer, and your allegiance is to me and not to the current emperor! Got it? ”

When the big man heard this, he looked very excited, he nodded again and again, and said loudly: "Lord, I ...... Got it! I...... The minister will retire first, and the minister will tell Boss Huang about the news, otherwise they will blame the minister for eating alone! ”

You kid can't speak! Eating alone? Can this be described as such? Ridiculous!

After Dian Wei ran out, Liu Yu turned to Xun Yu and Liu Ye, who had not yet expressed their position, and said: "Although I will not be loyal to the current emperor, I will never rebel!" Don't forget. As Princess Yangzhai's concubine, I can also be regarded as a member of the Han family! Do you know that in addition to internal strife, the current Han Dynasty also has external troubles: Xianbei and Wuhuan in the northeast. The Xiongnu in the north, the Qiang and Di in the northwest. These alien races are all eyeing us, and once our national strength is greatly reduced due to civil strife, they will detain the land of our country with iron hooves. This is what every son and daughter of the Han family does not want to see, so I would rather bear the infamy of the ages than take the lead in being a prince who divides one side, disobeys orders, and controls military and political power. Moreover, all the people under my rule can live and work in peace and contentment, can this be seen in other state capitals? So. I'll ask you two to stay and help me, even if it's for the benefit of the people! ”

Everyone was moved to tears and said, "The lord has great ambitions." The ministers admire, and they are willing to do their best to help the lord! ”

Xun Yu and Liu Ye knelt on the ground and cried: "The ministers misunderstood that the lord had the heart to seize power and seek rebellion, but he really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" I hope that the lord will forgive the ministers and other capital crimes. Rong Chen and the others continued to follow the lord. Even a scribe is enough! ”

Liu Yu sighed at the infinite power of the "Dragon Aotian Aura", and helped the two of them to be relieved. When everyone's feelings calmed down a little, Liu Yu announced that the meeting would continue.

It was You Heng who spoke: "Actually, we also have some benefits from this refugee incident. In addition to the prestige of the lord, it has also attracted some talents to come to work. ”

Liu Yu was very interested in this, and couldn't help asking, "Who are they?" ”

"There are a total of 10 outstanding talents. On the Wu side, there are Li Dian, Huang Gai, Cao Xing, Han Meng, and Mu Shun, and on the Wen side, there are Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Kong Rong, Ren Jun, and Liu Fu. ”

Li Dian, Huang Gai? Well, now Cao Cao has no generals available except for a few of his brothers! Sun Jian was even worse. The four major generals at the beginning of his army are now left with Zu Mao! …… I'm too lucky, right?! But why do you always have some ominous premonitions, as if you are being targeted by something......

Throw off the foresight. Liu Yu drew his attention back to the preface and said, "Please meet all the virtuous people!" ”

I don't know if someone has done the ideological work in advance, after Huang Gai, Kong Rong and others entered the hall, they knelt directly on the ground, and said in unison as if they had made an appointment: "The ministers are willing to serve the Lord and the public!" ”

Liu Yu personally stepped forward to help them up, talked to them cordially one by one, and then sat them down, sat in the council, and motioned for them to speak freely. At this moment, more than a dozen of the main generals of Liu Yujun, who were still in Yingchuan, walked in with excitement on their faces under the leadership of Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.

As soon as Wu Anguo came in, he shouted loudly and asked Liu Yu: "Lord, listen to the old classic, have you decided to be the emperor?" ”

Dian Wei, who was glared at by Liu Yu, was taken aback, he lowered his head and said innocently: "The minister didn't say that." The minister just said that these ministers were swearing to the lord that from now on they would only be loyal to the lord and not to the current emperor. The minister didn't talk nonsense! ”

Liu Yu stretched and rubbed his temples, reluctantly put the gaffe aside, and gave an explanation for these later generals, until they said they understood, and then let them sit down. Then Liu Yu appointed Li Dian, Huang Gai, Cao Xing, Han Meng, and Mu Shun as the captains in front of all the civil and military personnel, and Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Kong Rong, Ren Jun, and Liu Fu as the commanders. After doing these things, Liu Yu let the meeting continue.

Xun Yu didn't know what psychology he was for, but he uncharacteristically preceded You Hengyan: "Now that the official style of the court is corrupt and the people's hearts have been lost, the Lord Justice should take advantage of the situation to accumulate popularity and gather the virtuous people in the world." The minister asked for the order to set up a 'recruitment hall', thinking that the main public is looking for talents! ”

My current subordinates are already open, and you don't have enough to open a recruitment hall?! How can you embarrass other people?! Although he couldn't stop complaining in his heart, Liu Yu still planned to go his own way and let others have no way out. Yes, and he nodded without much hesitation, "Well, your mention is very good." However, you have to remember one thing: virtuous can not only refer to those who can write and martial arts, but also those who are proficient in medicine, casting, domestication, and cultivation and weaving are also talents! With them, we can ensure the health of the people, the strength of the army, and the prosperity of the economy. So, don't ignore them! ”

Xun Yu said with admiration: "The lord is wise, and the ministers must keep it in mind!" ”

After Xun Yu sat down, You Heng stood up again and said: "Lord, due to the continuous natural disasters, there are now nearly 10,000 orphans who are not able to support themselves in Yuzhou. The ministers and others think that they can be given to wealthy families in Yuzhou for adoption, but I don't know what happens to the lord's public will? ”

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "How did you deal with the hundreds of orphans you rescued from the Yellow Turban Army before?" ”

"The minister placed them in a farm on the outskirts of Zhongmu County, and invited Mr. Wenwu to teach."

"Well, yes, let's do it! In the future, all the orphans and elders under my rule will be raised by the government. In addition, another decree was promulgated: In the event of death or disability in the line of duty, the immediate family members of any officer of our army, regardless of his position, shall not only receive ten times the annual salary of his or her employment, but shall also have ten acres of fertile land that can be bought and sold for only one percent tax. However, the buyer will pay the tax as usual. If you are disabled but can take care of yourself, you can get ten times the annual salary during your employment and be arranged by the government to work. If you are disabled and unable to take care of yourself, and you have no relatives to rely on, you will be supported by the government for the rest of your life! ”

Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and other military generals were all happy when they heard this, but You Heng, Xun Yu and other ministers looked at each other, and in the end, it was Liu Fu, a newcomer, who took the lead in asking questions under the burning eyes of the generals: "If you do this, will Yuzhou's finances become stretched?" ”

Adhering to the concept of "professional things to professional people", Liu Yu asked nonchalantly: "That's your business!" What do I care about so much? ”

Looking at the Wenchen who fell into a petrified state, Liu Yu couldn't bear to say something: "In fact, Yuzhou is a place rich in resources: in addition to fertile farmland, there are also silk weaving, coal iron, clay and other materials. As long as you can plan and make good use of it, then Yuzhou will no longer worry about finances! (To be continued!)
