In the fields outside the city, a group of farmers sweat in the fields wearing only a pair of trousers.

There were also some peasant women who only had an extra short coat on their bodies, barely covering their chests.

The sun was big, and the bare skin, like bronze poured, was thin, but it looked powerful.

A few little dolls, running and playing on the ridges.

"Baby, we don't have to go hungry again this year."

The man was about thirty years old, and his muscles were very tight, and he wiped a handful of sweat, and his face was stained with some mud.

"yes, never go hungry again." The woman wielded her hoe, tired but smiling.

"The state pastor is kind, this year's tax revenue is only 10%, we work hard, more than two acres of land, even next spring, there is still surplus grain."

The man looked at the children playing on the ridge and was full of hope.

He has to work hard, a little more in the past two years, and in the next two years, when the child grows up a little, he will send the child to the academy.

As the head of the family in this ordinary family, the man did not go to the academy, he did not know how to read, and he could not even write his own name.

But he can let his children go to school.

The son of Lao Wang's family next door can now write his own name, and he can also help Lao Wang count, which makes the man very hot.

His son will certainly not be worse than others.

"This year I want to grow three acres of land, and next year I must rent a ploughing cow."

The man's thoughts are what most farmers in Jizhou think today.

For countless years, they did not have enough to eat and not to be warm.

But now, they finally see hope.

Even if they can't, their children and grandchildren will be able to feed and clothe themselves.

That's their hope.

With hope, they are full of energy.

They are no longer numb, even though they are tired every day, but they rejoice.

And all this because of one person.

Their benevolent state pastor - Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui's name has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of Jizhou.

Jizhou is recuperating.

Zhao Hui often visits outside the city, and he likes to see the happy smiles on the faces of the people.

Only a smile is an affirmation of him.

"It's not enough to plough cattle."

Zhao Hui looked at the field, and the farmers mostly used their own hands.

If they have cattle, the area they can cultivate in a year can be greatly increased.

Jizhou is not afraid of no land now, but a lot of land is uncultivated.

At the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, many people had no land to cultivate.

But ten years later, the population of Dahan has decreased by 30%.

Now even the high-quality fertile land in the hands of the gentry is difficult to find people to cultivate, so it can only be left there as wasteland.

Zhao Hui is also afraid that the population is not enough, as long as someone comes, he can allocate land for them to cultivate.

And the tax is definitely the lowest in Dahan today.

The cattle in Youzhou are now enough.

Every year, Zhao Hui will get a large number of ploughing cattle from the grassland.

The amount of land that can not be cultivated per person has increased dramatically, and the annual income of each family has increased.

For the people of Youzhou, most families can now have food in stock.

Wei Shuang is in business, and he can bring hundreds of millions of money to Zhao Hui every year.

Zhao Huicai was able to reduce the taxes of the people of Youzhou, Jizhou.

Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei also have the support of businessmen, the Wei family's business has not been as good as before in recent years, and the income has been declining every year.

And Mi Zhu is even more simply, all the family businesses of the Mi family have been pressed on Liu Bei.

The Mi family can no longer be said to be a businessman.

There is not much left of the Mi family's industry.

Mi Zhu didn't have the energy to take care of it, and Xuzhou changed hands, and the Mi family suffered heavy losses.

Today's Mi family, in terms of financial resources, gives Liu Bei very little support.

However, the roots of the Mi family for many years are still there, as long as Mi Zhu is given the opportunity, the Mi family can still regain a foothold in business, and many industries can grow rapidly.

But no matter what future growth the Mi family has, it is impossible to shake Zhao Hui.

Wei Shuang's caravan and annual net profit are constantly growing.

Clothing, food, housing, transportation, all walks of life, Wei Shuang's caravan has formed a scale.

In the four states of Hebei, each city has a restaurant established by Wei Shuang.

Even in the south, there are also some restaurants controlled by Wei Shuang behind his back.

Every day, there will be fine brocade, flowing out of Shuzhong along the Yangtze River.

There are also tea, silk, and jade and coral in the south.

Wei Shuang now operates more than 100 kinds of products.

Whether it is a volume or a high-end quality specially provided for dignitaries and nobles, Wei Shuangquan has it.

Moreover, Wei Shuang's volume is large, the price he buys is lower than that of other merchants, and the price he sells will be lower than that of other merchants.

It has long been the most popular businessman in the north and south of the country.

The entire Han Dynasty, now Yanzhou, is the area that Wei Shuang has entered the least.

Yanzhou is Cao Cao's territory, and Wei Shuang entered Yanzhou several times, but he was suppressed, not only failed to make money, but lost a little profit.

Yanzhou now has only a few secret industries, and on the surface, Wei Shuang's caravans no longer enter Yanzhou.

Some people don't know who is behind Wei Shuang, but how could Cao Cao not know.

Although there is still an official fight with Zhao Hui now, Cao Cao is already preparing.

Yuan Shu was an ally of Zhao Hui before, Lu Bu was also an ally of Zhao Hui, and Wei Shuang's caravans, which were previously in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, were almost unimpeded.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou also had no enterprising spirit, and they didn't notice Wei Shuang's caravan at all.

Wei Shuang's caravan, no matter where it went, was in good order, and it never forced to buy and sell.

It's just that all the local officials will be counted, so that their caravans will not be troubled in the local area.

Jiaozhou!

Wei Shuang rarely came to Jiaozhou before.

But this time he personally came with the flotilla.

Yuan Shu no longer sold grain to Zhao Hui, and Wei Shuang now needed to buy grain from Jiaozhou.

But Shi Xie didn't want to before.

This time, Wei Shuang came with armaments to trade with Shixie.

Shi Xie doesn't need money, and here in Jiaozhou, even if he has more money, he can't spend it, he just stays in the warehouse and rusts.

But the armor is what Shi Xie wants most now.

Everyone thought that he didn't have the heart to spy on the Central Plains.

But this is not allowed in terms of strength.

After all, Jiaozhou is too weak, not even as good as Liangzhou.

Even if Shi Xie has the ambition to swallow the sky, but he has no soldiers in his hands, no weapons and equipment, what will he earn and rob.

He can only retreat in Jiaozhou and be his soil emperor.

Jiaozhou is not a place where the Han people like to stay.

This has always been the place where the big man distributes criminals.

Those who can be exempted from capital crimes, but who cannot escape living crimes, are basically sent here.

Shixie now does not have the strength to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, but he also does not want other forces to enter Jiaozhou.

So he rejected Wei Shuang in one breath and was unwilling to sell grain and grass to Zhao Hui.

But now it's different.

Sun Ce's people were eyeing Jiaozhou, and Shixie needed to get enough armor and weapons from Zhao Hui to resist Sun Ce.

Between him and Zhao Hui, a deal was finally reached.
