He Jin finally replaced the list and official position given to him by Guo Sheng with the result of the previous recommendation.

When he saw the list that was different from the previous discussion results, Yuan Shao suddenly wondered, "General, why has this list changed slightly?" ”

He Jin was said by He Miao, and he also muttered a little in his heart, and said, "When I returned to the mansion, I felt that the original arrangement seemed to be unfair, so I changed it, what?" Can't I change it? ”

Yuan Shao scolded in his heart, really if he didn't know anything, yesterday Guo Sheng just entered your mansion, and someone went to Yuan's house to report the news.

It seems that He Jin still has a fluke with the Ten Standing Attendants.

No, we have to find a way to get them to fight completely!

Yuan Shao muttered in his heart, but his mouth said that the general should be decisive, and he heard that He Jin was called a beauty.

After Yang Biao and others learned that things had changed, they also understood that it was the Ten Standing Servants who were in the way, but these bigwigs also wanted to set the overall situation first, especially those who were ready to be introduced as foreign aid.

After the election of the general's mansion and other four governments, and then through Shangshutai, and then by Liu Hong's handpicking, the whole process is not short, not to mention for the time being, the camera flew thousands of miles and returned to Jizhou.

Ma Qiang of Jizhou had already begun to withdraw his troops, and he returned all the way with the army, first of all, he went straight to Zhongshan Zhen to borrow grain.

This is really grabbing a sheep to death!

- Zhen Mansion

"Thank you Brother Zhen!" Ma Qiang thanked Zhen Yan excitedly, "The short is one month, the long is two months, Youzhou will inevitably have countless iron tools and farm tools transported to Jizhou, and then I will ask Brother Zhen to help transport the world." ”

Zhen Yan smiled and said, "This is natural, the goods of the Red Star Battalion are sought-after goods, as for the grain and grass, although Jizhou has a shortage of grain due to the war this year, there is still a lot of surplus grain in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which can be dispatched." ”

Zhen Yan learned that Ma Qiang needed grain and grass, and immediately agreed, now that the yellow scarf has been extinguished, the world is about to be peaceful, and the price of grain and grass is about to fall, and there is no point in hoarding it.

Grain is inconvenient to store, and there will be new grain every year, Zhen Yan, who is half a scholar and half a businessman, pursues a small bucket out, a big bucket in, not just in and out.

Ma Qiang glanced at Zhen Mi, who was already able to walk and waved his little hands in the air, and he didn't have any thoughts, so he gave his hand and said goodbye.

Out of Zhen's mansion, Ma Qiang got into his carriage, and Duan Ying and a little Taoist priest sat in the carriage.

"This Zhen family is really big, it's a pity not to build a Taoist temple." Zhang Ning looked out of the car window and said.

"People have a good house, what kind of Taoist temple to build!" Ma Qiang glanced at Zhang Ning.

It has been half a month since the withdrawal of troops from Guangzong, and due to the large number of prisoners of war, they are walking very slowly, and they have only arrived in Zhongshan at this time.

Many of the prisoners of war knew Zhang Ning, and Ma Qiang didn't dare to let her go around, so he could only keep her with him.

Fortunately, Zhang Ning also knew that he was powerful, and he never ran around, and even the sound of chanting from outside the tent from time to time made Ma Qiang feel that his sleep quality seemed to have improved.

"Ming Gong, although the Zhen family can purchase food for us, but from this time to next year's autumn harvest, it will take about a year, so many people, the pressure on Youzhou is not small."

Ma Qiang nodded and said, "Indeed, last year, there was a war in the whole country, and the grain and grass were not rich everywhere, and I couldn't slow down in a year or two, so I was going to go back and persuade Liu Yu to write to the imperial court, asking for a reduction or exemption of Youzhou's one-year field tax, and leave the grain in Youzhou." ”

"I'm afraid that it's not just Ming Gong who is preparing to write a book, but Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou will be written in all parts of the country, so that the income of the imperial court will be greatly reduced, and I am afraid that Your Majesty's official hat business will be opened again."

Ma Qiang smiled: "Why don't you buy a position for the third prince too?" ”

"Ying doesn't want it, living without virtue, it's just to send money to His Majesty."

The chariot, Ma Xiaoxiao, no matter how long the road is, there is always a time to finish, when the first snow falls in Youzhou, Ma Qiang also came to Jixian County.

Liu Yu took a large number of officials out of the city for ten miles to greet Ma Qiang, and the group came to the Assassin's Mansion with laughter.

After the banquet, Ma Qiang and Liu Yu came to the study to have a secret conversation.

"Liu Yuanjun, I have to work hard to get 200,000 people, you have to help me arrange it, if you starve to death or freeze to death, it will be in vain!"

Liu Yu wanted to expand the population of Youzhou before, and now Ma Qiang sent 200,000 people, he was very happy, he smiled and said, "This is natural, I am going to place them in Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbei Pingping County, and place them separately!" ”

Saying that, Liu Yu sighed and said, "This year's military disaster, although Youzhou is blessed with righteousness and righteousness, and the chaos is very fast, but the people are still suffering a lot, so it is said that Youbeiping, after counting, is less than 40,000 mouths." ”

When Ma Qiang heard this, he shook his head helplessly.

The population of Dahan is still too small.

Don't look at Youzhou, there are three million people on paper, but they are basically concentrated in Guangyang, Zhuo County, Yuyang and other places, such as Youbeiping and Xuansu County, when they were at their peak, the population did not exceed 60,000 people, and they were scattered in four or five counties, which was simply pitiful.

"These 200,000 people, a lot of young and strong, we want to develop in Youzhou, although farming is important, but it is naturally not comparable to Jizhou and other places, we must rely on salt and iron in Yuyang and other places!" Ma Qiang proposed, "I want to divide these 200,000 people into three parts, select 30,000 young people for mining, smelting, and work, and then select 60,000 of these 30,000 young and strong family members, and settle them in Guangyang and Yuyang, open up wasteland and build roads, and the rest of the people will be moved to the border counties for resettlement." ”

As he spoke, Ma Qiang walked to the map hanging on the wall and said, "In addition, I recommend Zhang Sheng as the county commander of this place, I don't know what Liu Yuanjun thinks?" ”

Liu Yu saw the place where Ma Qiang pointed and said, "Quanzhou? ”

Ma Qiang nodded and said, "Quanzhou has water conservancy, and the salt and iron of our Yuyang can flow from here to Jizhou and even Qingzhou, so that my Youzhou can be rich." ”

Among the people Ma Qiang can trust now, there is no one who can be the county guard, so he can only fight for the position of the county commander.

The location of Quanzhou is probably the Tianjin of the later generations, but it is nearly 2,000 years apart, and most of the Tianjin of the later generations is still the sea.

There is a direct access to the Bohai Sea in Quanzhou, this Gushui fork leads directly to Changping County on the one hand, and can reach the place where Anle, Hunu and other iron mines are located, there are two rivers under Quanzhou, namely Ma Shui and Yi Shui, which can pass through Zhongshan and Hejian two counties respectively, plus close to Bohai County, it can be said that Ma Qiang will contact the best bridgehead in Youzhou in the future.

Even if Ma Qiang reaches the plains, he can also use sea ships to contact Quanzhou, which is much faster than the land route.

Although Zhang Sheng is a native of Yuyang, the Three Mutual Law just does not allow him to be the county guard of Yuyang and the county commander of the county, and Quanzhou County can barely do it.

Liu Yu looked at the location of Quanzhou and nodded, "The terrain here is flat, but it is a good place to open up wasteland, if the water conservancy construction is effective, it is not difficult to resettle 60,000 people." ”

Liu Yu is a qualified politician, he knows how to exchange mutual benefits, and it is because of this that he has received support from top to bottom in Youzhou so quickly.
