Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 188 AD.

In February, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various places rose up one after another, and the Yellow Turban Army in the Baibo Valley of the West River was the most powerful. Guo Tai and the Baibo Valley of the West River rose up, and captured Taiyuan County, Hedong County and other places in October. For a time, the hearts of the court were fluctuating, and they did not think about pacifying the thieves, but they had ghosts, and they did their best to collect money. Among them, the craziest is the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, under the role of Liu Hong's "example", officials at all levels unscrupulously scrape the people's fat and ointment, up and down, and the same is true for the officials of various states and counties, the suffering of the people who can't eat is unspeakable, and there are displaced refugees everywhere......

Looking at the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only the people of Yingchuan live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials are honest and promising, which is a peaceful scene.

In this case, one can imagine where the refugees will go. As a result, a large number of refugees poured into Yingchuan, with Runan County being the largest. In less than a month, more than 2 million refugees were received in 17 counties in Yingchuan State.

For Yingchuan, who has a lot of money and food, this is undoubtedly a huge test.

Liu Zhan knew that Yingchuan was now standing at a crossroads, and proper resettlement of refugees had become Yingchuan's top priority at present.

If they are dealt with, these refugees will become the wealth of Yingchuan's development, and if they are not careful, they will lose the results of Yingchuan's governance in recent years.

Liu Zhan knew very well that the world was about to be in turmoil, and the era of princes rising up was about to begin. In the world of great contention, strength is respected.

What is Strength?

Of course, the army is strong, the country is rich and the people are strong.

The army is the weapon of the country, and it is also the capital to compete with the princes. For Liu Zhan, he was one step ahead, occupied a county, and there were 40,000 horses and horses that had been tempered by the battlefield, and there were several enemies of 10,000 people, he could have stood firm in this upcoming troubled era, but Liu Zhan always had a sense of crisis, he knew what kind of heroes he was facing, or heroic characters - Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Jiangdong Sun, etc., none of them were good persimmons. Liu Zhan is convinced that only the last laugh is the last word.

The army is the blade, the national strength is the foundation, and the people's national strength is the root. In that sparsely populated era, population was an important indicator of a country's strength. The population is small, no matter how rich it is, it is also the water without roots, and it is only for others to make wedding dresses, and wealth will flow into the hands of others sooner or later. If the population is large, there will be a basis for forming a strong army, and as long as it is properly governed, a country with a large population will certainly be stronger than a country with a small population, and the number of troops will naturally be larger. Of course, there is also a magnitude problem here.

At such a time, Liu Zhan was unusually sober: he wanted to settle the refugees as soon as possible and take root in Yingchuan, so that they could become a force for Yingchuan's prosperity and strength, at least when he fought in the future, he could have sufficient troops and sufficient military funds.

Inside the main hall of the royal palace.

Liu Zhan frowned and listened carefully to Xun Yu's report.

After half a stick of incense, Xun Yu stroked his beard and sighed: "That's it, the biggest difficulty at the moment is that there are too many refugees and not enough officials." If the number of refugees continues to increase and they are not properly resettled, it will bring disaster to our Yingchuan. At the moment, the military strength in the country is also insufficient, once there is a change, we will not be able to deal with it, so we can only turn to the imperial court for help, and I, Yingchuan country, never pay taxes to the imperial court, I am afraid that the time will ......."

Xun Yu stopped abruptly as he spoke, looked at Liu Zhan, and tried to see some clues from Liu Zhan's eyes. Xun Yu has always been curious, why was Liu Zhan able to make a country within a state within the thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty, and what agreement did he reach with Emperor Ling? Why does this nephew in front of him always have an unknown side, and how many secrets does he have?

"What should we do for the sake of the present? Please also ask my uncle to teach me. ”

Liu Zhan had a rough idea of the predicament in front of him, but he still had to listen to Xun Yu's advice. After all, Xun Yuzhi was recognized by Prime Minister Cao Cheng.

"There are three ways: first, the counties are ordered to immediately appease the refugees to reclaim wasteland, and exempt them from taxes for the first three years; Second, each county has a separate field officer, and the uncultivated farmland is distributed to the refugee families according to the capitation, and the tax is exempted for the first year; the third is to immediately issue a recruitment order, recruit talents from all over the world, enrich the county government offices, and fill the vacancies; Fourth, it is necessary to immediately recruit villagers to maintain public order in various counties. ”

"Good! Just do as my uncle said. However, this fourth article is not necessary. Liu Zhan was very satisfied with Xun Yu's strategy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sure enough, Xun Yu is not in a hurry to deal with things, is clearly organized, and takes appropriate measures, which is really a treasure! It's just that because of Niu Zhan, he is really unaccustomed to calling his uncle now......

"Zhan'er, there are too many refugees, if there is any change, you can't force it, and the consequences are unimaginable."

Xun Yu frowned and reminded worriedly.

"Haha, uncle, Zhan'er has a team of men and horses, and they will arrive in Yingchuan in a few days, which can just come in handy."

"How many?"

"40,000 elite soldiers."

"Huh?! Fight you! Is it ......?"

"Haha, naturally I don't have that kind of thought. It's just a means of self-preservation. ”

Liu Zhan smiled on his back and looked at Xun Yu who was shocked on the spot.

"That's fine, if you want to be a sinner for the ages, I won't be the first to agree." Xun Yu's three souls returned to their positions, and immediately mentioned Liu Zhan.

……

Just when Liu Zhan and Xun Yu were discussing things, Liu Hongzheng, who was far away in Luoyang, was secretly discussing with Liu Yan and was about to make a major decision that would affect the situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Yan as a political speculator in the Eastern Han Dynasty, quite discerning, he is keenly aware of the collapse of the imperial road, the world or chaos, then if the future is a troubled time, then he Liu Yan has to find a place of refuge for himself, after thinking about it and meditating, Liu Yan thought of an excellent place - Bashu, but, with a good place, you have to have a life to get away with, going to Bashu alone to be an official and being an official in Luoyang seems to be no different. Just when Liu Yan was at a loss, it happened that the yellow scarf rose again, so the smart Liu Yan was blessed to his heart, and he immediately had a great idea, he wanted to play the Spirit Emperor immediately.

After listening to Liu Yan's performance, Liu Hong was overjoyed: "Aiqing, you are worthy of being a clansman of the Liu family!" Loyalty can show the sun and the moon, like a surging river! I, quasi-play. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Yan was also overjoyed, feeling one step closer to his small goal.

In this way, Liu Hong issued an edict to change the assassination history to the state pastor, and selected Lieqing and Shangshu as the state pastor.

From then on, the state pastor began to take charge of the administrative power of a state, the position was very heavy, and he could have the army on one side, and it was logical that the state pastor began to support the army and gradually formed a secession regime.

Of course, Liu Yan, as a counselor, became the pastor of Yizhou as he wished, and he successfully ran to a place far away from the emperor of the mountain and became the emperor of the soil......
