After the surrender of the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao not only selected 30,000 strong soldiers as soldiers, but also dispersed the surrendered more than 1 million people to various counties and divided land for the people.

Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin recruited and sent 3,000 Danyang soldiers from Danyang, Cao Cao knew that Li Xian wanted Danyang soldiers, so he pulled 500 people to him, so that he could make up for the broken camp to 1,000 people.

Because there are still half of the veterans, with veterans leading new recruits, Li Xian doesn't have to work so hard.

He has Danyang soldiers, and he doesn't have to worry about dealing with the Yellow Turban's pawns, in addition to training to break the camp, Cao Cao often summons him to talk.

Since the Battle of Xingyang to the present, Li Xian has also made many meritorious contributions, and now the official has also been promoted to the rank of captain in battle.

Xiahoudun is now the captain of the Taishou and Zhichong of Dongjun, Xiahou Yuan is the captain of the cavalry, Cao Ren is the captain of Li Feng, and Cao Hong is only a Sima in the army.

Li Xian is actually only behind Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, and above Xiahouyuan and Cao Hong.

It can be seen that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Li Xian.

From the reversal of the battle of Xingyang, to the recruitment of troops in Danyang, to the merit of Dedong County, the work of recommending Xun Yu, the merit of welcoming Cao Cao's family, the merit of breaking the Black Mountain Thieves and breaking the Yellow Turban.

Li Xian was promoted from a small Wu Chang to the current lieutenant, relying on his ability, and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and others had no complaints.

Now that he was a little more relaxed, Li Xian was lying in the courtyard outside the pavilion basking in the warm sun, thinking about what would happen in history next.

At this time, a doorman came to report, saying that Gongzi Ang was visiting.

Li Xian hurriedly sat up and tidied up his clothes.

Although Cao Ang has not yet reached the crown, he is also seventeen years old, and in any case, Cao Ang is also a young master, so he has to be treated politely.

Cao Ang walked over, followed by Cao Min.

Cao Min is now fifteen years old, and he can marry at that time.

Li Xian looked at Cao Min and saw that she was slim, with a white face and tender skin, and she was delicate and lovely.

He hasn't seen Cao Min for more than a year, and they all say that the female college has changed eighteen, and Cao Min has changed seventy-two.

Li Xianzheng watched blankly, blushing embarrassedly at Cao Min.

Seeing this, Cao Ang pretended to cough, and then pulled Li Xian back from the dream.

"Brother Li really enjoys it, and he is basking in the warm sun here." Cao Ang said enviously.

He now has to read books and practice archery every day, and he feels very bored, and he knows that Li Xian is free, so he comes to see it.

Cao Min knew that he was coming to find Li Xian, and he was pestering to follow, but Cao Cao happened to see it and said, "Zixiu, since Min'er is going, you can let her follow." ”

Cao Cao spoke, but Cao Ang had no choice but to bring her.

Li Xian said: "Gongzi Ang, you don't study well in the mansion, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”

"I know that the eldest brother is idle, and there are some problems in my heart that are difficult to solve, so I came to the eldest brother for solutions."

Cao Ang sat down on a stone and said.

"What's the matter, tell me."

"My father first beheaded the yellow scarf, and then took it as a pawn for the people, what should be done with this art of governing the people?"

"Governing the people?" Li Xian didn't expect Cao Ang to ask such an esoteric question, he thought for a while before saying: "Governing the people is governing the people, which is nothing more than attaching equal importance to grace and power." The good people rule with grace before authority, and the evil people govern with authority before grace. ”

Li Xietunbing also used to read ancient books when he was in Baima and Dunqiu, but he didn't expect that he would say such a thing.

In fact, this is the same as his management of the army, he usually calls you a brother and a brother, but as long as you violate military discipline, you will never be merciful.

Some of them drank with you today, and the next day you broke the military discipline and beat you with a stick, and the next day you came to drink again, and those soldiers later knew about it.

No matter how close you are to drinking with General Li, you can't break military discipline.

And those soldiers who are usually a little arrogant, which one is the most majestic, he will find which one to single-handedly challenge.

After subduing a few, no one in the army dared to disobey his military orders anymore.

"The Yellow Turban is for the wicked people, so my father first threatened and then gifted, right?"

"That's right, but there aren't many really evil people among the yellow turbans, and many of them are robbing for food. If the people are not rebellious, as long as they are fed and not cold, they have their fields, their houses, and their clothes, then they will all be good people. ”

Li Xian suddenly thought that Han Hao would propose Cao Cao Tuntian in the future, so it was better to let Cao Ang propose it now, so as to add points for Cao Ang to take over the power in the future.

"Childe, now the world is in chaos, and all sides are using troops. The people themselves are still short of food, and it is even more difficult to levy them for military rations. What do you think about recruiting the landless people to come to the tuntian, and then drawing the percentage for military rations? ”

"Wonderful, I often heard my father say that it was difficult to recruit military rations, and he had a headache, and now there are too many people without land, so he has become a coward. If they are allowed to farm, they will have food and clothing, and the military rations will also be sufficient, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Cao Ang smiled happily after figuring it out.

Cao Min also understood a little on the side, and praised Li Xiandao: "Brother Li understands a lot of truths, Min'er admires it." ”

"Don't be too happy, there are still many difficulties. For example, how do you get land? Now that many fields are in the hands of wealthy families, how can you expropriate their fields to tuntian? ”

Li Xian seemed to pour a basin of cold water on Cao Ang.

Cao Ang thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a good plan.

"Forced expropriation will inevitably provoke civil uprising, and my father's power to govern Yanzhou is not stable, so it is impossible. If it is shared with them, then the military rations in their hands will be minimal. How good is that? ”

"There are a lot of abandoned lands in the state, why don't you open up wasteland for fields?" Li Xian said.

"Clearing the wasteland for fields? Most of the abandoned fields are dry land, so how can they be cultivated? Cao Ang seems to have read a lot of books and knows some problems.

"Store water for the lake, open a canal to divert water." Li Xian only said eight words.

Cao Ang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yes, in this way, if there is water and land, there will be fertile fields." With fertile fields, there is no shortage of people, but the people are afraid that they will not have cattle. ”

"The common people had no money to buy cattle, so they could rent official cattle, and at the same time set up tuntian officials to manage the affairs of tuntian. What do you think? ”

"Brother Li, such a clever plan, why don't you mention it to my father."

"I just thought of it, but I want you to mention it, don't say that you taught it, but say that you realized it yourself, understand?" Li Xian didn't want to rob Cao Ang of the credit, and wanted him to accumulate more political capital.

"Okay, then I'll go and propose it to my father." Cao Ang was so happy that he danced.

At this time, a soldier came to report, saying that General Cao had invited him to go to an urgent meeting.

Li Xian hurriedly went to the state pastoral mansion with Cao Ang and Cao Min.

Cao Ang couldn't participate in the discussion at this time, so he took Cao Min back to the backyard.

Li Xian entered the council hall and saw that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren had already arrived.

After everyone greeted him briefly, Cao Cao also came to the council hall.

Everyone stood quietly on both sides below.

Li Xian couldn't guess what was going on for a while, because when he was just about to think carefully about what happened in history, Cao Ang came to disturb him.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai seemed to know what was going on, but their faces were not as expectant as Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others.
