In the evening, there was a lively scene outside the west gate of Luoyang, the camp composed of more than 2,000 tents of all sizes stood in the wilderness outside the city, hundreds of thousands of poor people in tattered clothes surrounded the camp, leaving only a small road leading to the city gate, looking at it from the city wall, the crowd could not see the head at a glance, the mountains were all over the black press, the scene was probably only more than a year ago when Dong Taishi set up a porridge shed at the east gate to relieve the victims outside the gate, the poor people who watched were still increasing rapidly, in addition to the victims in Luoyang City, The poor in the countryside near Luoyang also rushed to hear the news. In order to prevent accidents, the 5,000 Xiliang iron cavalry brought by Zhao Yun and the 5,000 sailors brought by Sun Ce were fully armed, wearing armor and knives to guard around the camp, and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang transferred another 10,000 black cavalry to help maintain order.

Outside Dong Zhuojun's fence, countless people were surging, and countless pairs of eyes shining out looked through the gap left by the fence and the Dong Zhuojun soldiers standing guard, staring at Dong Zhuojun's cook who was cooking dinner in the camp, but this time Kang Peng invested a lot of money, and asked Zhao Yun to bring a lot of cattle and sheep snatched from the hands of the Xiliangqiang people, and Kang Peng plagiarized the first batch of processed ham invented by Grandpa Zong Ze and also transported some, the fragrance - it simply made these hungry poor people want to go crazy.

It's not just the poor people of Luoyang who want to go crazy, but also the civil and military officials and merchants in Luoyang, who have been living a tight life for more than a year, are also standing on the city wall, smelling the smell of meat wafting in the air and swallowing their saliva, especially the aroma of fried ham with chili peppers, they just want these former rich men to rush into Dong Zhuo's military camp - look what is so fragrant!

Of course, Kang Peng will not waste so many delicacies in vain, he has to be rewarded, when Dong Zhuojun opened the meal, Zhao Yun deliberately ordered the food to be delivered to the Dong Zhuojun soldiers standing guard, and ate it in front of the people of Luoyang outside the village. What's even more annoying is that after some ordinary Dong Zhuojun soldiers received the four steamed buns that were allocated to them, they deliberately opened the steamed buns, making the people outside the village exclaim, "What a big piece of meat!" I ate it triumphantly, and said in my heart, do you see it? This is what happened to you who forced us away from Luoyang in the first place!

When the poor people of Luoyang who were watching swallowed their saliva wildly, a small colonel Dong Zhuojun walked to the side of the fence with a pot of steamed buns and meat, carefully looked at the people outside the village, and picked a strong young man and asked, "Boy, how old is it?" What is your name? ”

The young man replied: "Master Huijun, the villain is nineteen this year, he has no name, and everyone else calls me Ah Xing." ”

Then Colonel Dong Zhuojun asked again: "Is it from Luoyang?" Who else is in the house? Are there any fields? ”

Ah Xing's eyes were red, and he choked up: "The villain is from the countryside of Luoyang, my father died of illness when I was a child, and my mother starved to death when I was seven years old. ”

Colonel Dong Zhuojun reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't cry, master, I was the same as you back then, I was also an orphan, born in a bitter family, but I was luckier than you, I followed Mrs. Dong as a soldier, and now I am not mixed up." Then Colonel Dong Zhuojun handed him two more meat steamed buns, "Hungry, eat some." ”

Ah Xing's eyes were red, he said a few polite words, and hurriedly grabbed the steamed bun and chewed it, and Colonel Dong Zhuojun smiled: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke." By the way, since you have nothing to worry about now, it just so happens that my master and I are short of people, so I will help you say to the general and let you also be a soldier of Dong Taishi, are you willing? ”

Ah Xing stopped suddenly, his eyes were wide open, and he asked vaguely, "Master Bing, are you serious?" With Mrs. Dong, can you eat enough? ”

Colonel Dong Zhuojun laughed, "Of course it's true, with Master Dong, you can have a full meal every day, and if you are discharged from the army in the future, you will be divided into five acres of land, and if you are lucky, you can also share two or three wives, who doesn't know these days?" ”

Ah Xing swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth fiercely and yelled: "I want to be a soldier, I will be a soldier of Dong Taishi." ”

"Okay." The Dong Zhuojun soldier pointed at the gate of the village and said with a smile: "Come in, master, I'll find you a new set of clothes, throw away your ragged clothes for me, don't bring fleas in." And the shoes, none of the soldiers of Dong Taishi wore such shoes with open toes. ”

Ah Xing was ecstatic, devoured the steamed buns in three or two times, yelled and threw away the torn coat and shoes on his body, squeezed through the crowd while wearing a pair of pants, and ran into the village. When Colonel Dong Zhuojun smiled and turned around, the people of Luoyang in front of him were already crazy, and they all shouted wildly, "Master Jun, are you still short of people?" Can I? ”

Colonel Dong Zhuojun said with a smile: "There are still a few missing, as long as you are over eighteen years old, those under thirty years old are fine, and if you are willing to be a soldier of Mrs. Dong, go to the side of the village gate to line up to sign up." ”

One pass ten, ten pass hundred, not much work, there are several miles long queue next to the walled gate, not only the age meets the conditions, many of the age is not enough and more than the one is also ranked among them, of course, after Dong Zhuojun picked the strongest of them away, the scholar merchants of Chang'an also happened to come out to recruit workers and tenant farmers. These poor people are a burden in Luoyang, and Chang'an, which has shown signs of shortage of manpower in the rapid development of agriculture and commerce, is a treasure, and only on the night of arrival, Dong Zhuojun recruited more than 5,000 qualified soldiers with great potential, and only after training, he can become a warrior who can fight well. The Chang'an Shi businessmen have also recruited a large number of workers and tenant farmers, and many of them have seen the general trend of future development, once the divine seed auspicious rui in the hands of Dong Taishi is popularized, then grain production will exceed demand, grain prices will plummet, growing grain will become unprofitable, and controlling land will not be so important, only business is the shortcut to make a fortune in the future, and doing business must have commodities, to produce commodities, there must be enough manpower, only now to control cheap labor, in the future can make a lot of money.

The merchants of Chang'an secretly admired that the ugly and fierce appearance of Dong Taishi was able to come up with the idea of 'contract labor', which eats people without spitting out bones, and contracted the working hours of workers for several years, so that the production of goods can be completely guaranteed and there will be no shortage of workers. It's just that there is one thing that is not good, Dong Taishi has imposed on the wages paid to workers and the prescribed working hours, which are supervised by the government and are not allowed to be deducted, which is bound to have a certain impact on his profit margins, but then again, it is better to have profits than nothing. The merchants of Chang'an did not, and this trick was another way for Kang Peng to steal from future generations, in order to quietly guide them to become the first batch of big capitalists in the Three Kingdoms, and the impact on them and future generations would be far greater than they imagined.

Early the next morning, Lu Su led the scholars and merchants of Chang'an to enter the palace to meet the emperor and pay tribute to a batch of grain goods produced in Chang'an. Before entering the palace, Lu Su also had some skirmishes with Ma Ridan and other old stubborn people because of the Chang'an merchants, for no other reason, Ma Ridan and others thought that the four elements of the world were Shinong and industrial, and the merchants were the last, and they were not qualified to see the emperor, and Lu Su retorted: "The four elements of the world, Shinong and industry and commerce are together, and there are no merchants to sell and take merchants, how can the goods in the world circulate?" Where can the private sector buy what they need? Where did the imperial court get the tax revenue? If you look down on the world's businessmen, then how about you please play the holy and exempt the world's businessmen from paying taxes? The words made a few old stubborns red-faced, but the Chang'an businessmen were all grateful.

Jin saw that Emperor Xian was nothing more than going through the motions, when he kowtowed to Emperor Xian, the heart of Chang'an Shishang was still in the recruitment office of peasants and workers in Luoyang City, and he only cared about how much cheap labor the housekeeper and servants had brought to him at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to what kind of official title the little emperor gave himself - that's all the little emperor could get, but Chang'an Shishang didn't care about this, in Chang'an, the level of taxes was not collected according to the level of the title, but according to your land and property, Chang'an Shishang did not dare to resist King Dong Yan, and secondly, the more taxes were paid in Chang'an, The greater the privileges, the more the knighthood can only enjoy the official grain, but can not have the privileges, those grains in the eyes of these rich people, big businessmen, but not even a dime, so the people of Chang'an have gradually developed a habit, meet people do not look at the title, first look at the property. Of course, Kang Peng also understands what drawbacks this set may bring, and he has greatly improved the strength of the civil and military forces in active service, and his military achievements have also become more abundant, so as to eliminate future troubles to the greatest extent.

During the Jin Dynasty, Lu Su repeatedly asked Emperor Xian to move the capital to Chang'an, but Emperor Han Xian was afraid of the ugly and fierce Taishi, and repeatedly refused - this is also what Kang Peng and Jia Xu wanted.

Three days later, under the repeated hints of Ma Ridan and others, Lu Su, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others led all the merchants and troops of Chang'an to evacuate Luoyang, returning with nearly 200,000 people, and the problem of Chang'an's labor force was temporarily solved. Although Kang Peng sent envoys to this trip cost a lot, but it was definitely worth the money, relative to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who lost troops to grab the population of Hanoi, Kang Peng did not spend a single soldier, and brought it to Chang'an, and since then, the poor people in Luoyang, Hongnong and other places have gradually moved to Chang'an, so that Kang Peng's hegemony has laid a good foundation.

Before evacuating, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang also found Lu Su and asked, "Lord Lu, our army has completely controlled Luoyang, and it is very popular with the people, why don't Taishi return to Luoyang and regain control of the cardinal?" Why do you have to evacuate after the hard occupation? ”

Lu Su smiled and said, "Two generals, don't be impatient. Listen to Su's explanation, although our army returned to Luoyang, but Luoyang is located in the key point, the road extends in all directions, our army is stationed here, there is Liu Biaojingxiang's army in the south, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao tiger and wolf in the east, and there are Huns and barbarians in the north, and they will be attacked from several sides. Wouldn't it be better to sit and watch the princes of the Central Plains compete with each other, and use Luoyang as the way to collect the world's displaced people? ”

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang thought for a long time before they barely understood, and were about to say something more, when Lu Su waved his hand and said, "It's good to understand, don't need to say it." Lu Su smiled again: "The Taishi knows that you want to make meritorious contributions, but you still need to be patient now, and you will have to fight in the future." Lu Su added in his heart, "If nothing else, today next year, we should stand on the land of Hanzhong." ”

For Kang Peng, the happy letter not only deceived the nearly 200,000 population of Luoyang, but on the way back to Lu Su and others, the fast horse and the carrier pigeon alternately transmitted the message, bringing the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation of the emperor in Huainan to Kang Peng, after Kang Peng received the letter, he knocked over the desk in laughter, "Haha......, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, you really want to be the emperor, this time I want to see, how many people can be left in your Huainan?" ”
