The return of life to the ordinary is a kind of enjoyment for Liu Yi, he is not the kind of person who likes to pursue excitement too much, he can accompany his wife and children in his own acre and three points of land, do something he likes to do, occasionally guide seven or eight-year-old children who should not be confused, point out the direction of life for them, and more, it is occasionally with friends.

Liu Yi likes this feeling very much, he doesn't have to worry about the world's major affairs, he doesn't have to run around for his livelihood, and he is dedicated to pursuing his ideals, but this beautiful and ordinary life has been completely broken with the arrival of a person.

According to the usual practice, when there is nothing to do, Liu Yi usually does not get up too early, after all, the physical strength and energy consumed at night need enough sleep to replenish.

"Husband, Jun Cheng is waiting in the hall." Lu Lingqi was held in Liu Yi's arms, and looked out of the door with some uneasiness, she was not wearing clothes now, if the maid came in at this time, she would feel a little embarrassed, and her soft and elastic delicate body writhed uneasily in Liu Yi's arms.

"Just let him wait a little longer." Liu Yi drilled his head into the quilt and found a more soothing position to continue to sleep.

The hot air spewing from the end of her nose made Lu Lingqi blush a little, her husband is good at everything, but her anger seems to be getting heavier and heavier recently, so she slapped Liu Yi angrily and said, "Then let go of the concubine, and the concubine will get up first." ”

"No, it's comfortable to sleep like this." Liu Yi arched his head and said dreamily.

"Husband~Jun~" Lu Lingqi's voice suddenly became extremely gentle.

Liu Yi, who was stuffy in the quilt, shuddered, sobered up, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Get up~sighs~ I can't live this day!" ”

Under Lu Lingqi's service, Liu Yi reluctantly got dressed, and rubbed several handfuls of oil during the period, and slowly came out of the room in Lu Lingqi's dissatisfied anger, looking at the well-behaved little ring in front of him, his eyes were full of resentment: "Here you go again?" ”

"Hmm." Xiaohuan nodded obediently, Liu Yi has the biggest temper at this time, so it's better to stay away!

"Iniquity!" Liu Yi sighed and said, "Let Sister-in-law Deng send the breakfast to the main hall." ”

"喏~"

Xiaohuan hurriedly agreed, helped Liu Yi open the door of the cloud room, and sent Liu Yi down.

In the main hall, a young man was sitting precariously, and when he saw Liu Yi coming out, he bowed his head slightly and said, "I've seen Fujun." ”

"No need to be polite, can you eat breakfast when you are young? How about you and I eating together? Liu Yi sat down and looked at the young man in front of him, the resentment on his face also dissipated a little, and he said helplessly.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Ma Jian was not polite, he would push back one or two at first, but now, he didn't bother to refuse.

As he spoke, Deng had already come in with two food plates, which were placed on the low table in front of Liu Yi and Ma Jian and then retreated.

"Fujun, this is Xiajun, Tang, Yiyang and Luo County last year's taxes and harvests, in the next has been made one by one, Yueyang also made a record, just because Yueyang was first built, there is no record of previous years, it is impossible to compare, only from the Xiajun, Tang, Yiyang, Luoxian four counties, from the promotion of the Fujun made by the beginning of the year to the present, the tax is more than in previous years, but the Quyuan plough has not been fully promoted, Xiaguan is expected to improve this year, but the specific data, it is not easy to list at the moment, It will take at least two years before there is a clear comparison. ”

Ma Tan glanced at Liu Yi, who was silently drinking porridge, and said with a smile: "In addition, according to the regulations of the Fujun, the annual increase in population is recorded, since last year, there are nearly 5,000 people in the four counties, and there is no detailed data recorded in previous years, but it should be roughly between 3,000 and 4,000, and the number of people who have passed away seems to have decreased significantly, and if this continues, within ten years, the population of Yueyang County may climb to 200,000." ”

Speaking of which, Ma Jian was also a little surprised, the biggest reason for the sparse population in Jingnan is that the mortality rate is too high, including those who died at birth, and there are not many people who can live past fifty, but it seems that the situation has improved in the past two years, at least the number of natural deaths is declining every year, as for the reason, no one is in the mood to look for it, but according to such a situation, ten years later, it is not a problem for Jingnan to have a population of more than one million, but young children will account for most of it.

"That's a good thing." Liu Yi nodded as a matter of course, although it is only the data of the four counties, but this data is extended to the entire Jingnan and even Liu Bei's entire sphere of influence, if Jingnan can be stable for a few years, Liu Bei's foundation will be even stronger, but judging from the previous attitude of Liu Bei and Kong Ming, I am afraid that entering Sichuan will be a matter of the past two years.

In order to reduce the mortality rate, Liu Yi has built a medical center in each county and county, and the delivery room for delivering babies has played a role, and if there are conditions in the future, it will be good to implement this medical hall to all counties, after all, although the attributes of the general medical hall cannot directly improve the medical skills of the medical craftsman, it can improve the work efficiency, clear mind, and subtle ability of the medical craftsman.

Ma Jian nodded, it is indeed a good thing, but there are also bad things: "There are more people, but the tax increase is not as much as the population growth." ”

There are more people, but taxes cannot keep up with the growth rate of population, this problem is not a good thing for a regime, the reason is that Liu Yi encourages production, and the reason for this is that Liu Yi encourages production and gives certain convenience to families who have children in Changsha County, so the taxes are naturally less.

"It's only temporary." Liu Yi said with a smile: "For a long time in the future, there will be more newborns in the four counties of Jingnan, these people have no production capacity, but they also have to bear taxes, which will undoubtedly increase the burden on a family, you have to give them food to feed their children, right?" ”

Ma Jian nodded, the truth is indeed the case, it seems that this prince is quite benevolent, thought about it and said: "In addition, it is the disaster of Shanyue, last year, although there was no major chaos, but the four counties around Shanyue attacked and disturbed hundreds of times, although the scale is not large, but it is quite damaging to the people's hearts." ”

The so-called Shanyue, is to live in this mountain and river all the year round, unwilling to be subject to the control of the imperial court, but the living conditions are extremely evil, all day long with the mountain beasts as a companion, but also formed these Shanyue people are fierce, if you talk about individual combat power, that is not to say, and most of these Shanyue are independent, there is no big trouble, but the small attack is innumerable, the army is not good to suppress, most of the time can only be passively defended.

"What is the solution for the young man?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

"Now the lord is asking for stability, not easy to fight, but can not let these mountains come to the Hu, the lower officials think, one, can choose one or two strong, and the harm is quite harmful Shanyue to destroy it, in order to deter its heart, and the other is to open trade, other counties do not know, but as far as my Yueyang counties are concerned, the grain is quite abundant, and you can open trade with Shanyue, and exchange grain and salt for some precious medicinal materials in the mountains, beast skins and other things." Ma Tan said with a smile: "This is not enough to eliminate disputes, but it can win over some Shanyue who are willing to get close to our dynasty, help them repair their houses, reclaim the world, build cities, and then bring them under the rule of our army. ”

"Not bad!" Liu Yi looked at Ma Jian approvingly, not to mention practical ability, as far as this theoretical ability is concerned, Ma Jian definitely has the potential of a first-class strategist, as for practical ability, can it be cultivated, you don't have to take on heavy responsibilities from the beginning, you can cultivate it from these small battles, accumulate experience for him little by little, and when you really need to use him, you won't treat the war as a child's play, so Liu Yi said as a matter of course: "This matter will be handled by Youchang." ”

"Uh......" Ma Jian looked at Liu Yi with a little stunned.

"Having trouble?" Liu Yi saw Ma Yan's expression and said suspiciously.

"Fujun, under is the county, if you say that you can open trade with Shanyue and persuade Shanyue to surrender, you can do it for you, but the matter of sending troops to recruit is ......" Ma Jian kindly reminded that he was just a civil official, and the war was not under his own control, besides, a group of rabble, do you need to do it yourself?

"Who's in charge?" Liu Yi looked at Ma Jian and asked rhetorically.

Ma Yan pondered and said: "I have heard that the prince of the palace was originally two thousand people and horses to pacify the four counties, and this matter is ......."

"Luck." Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "Besides, how can there be a reason that the Taishou personally goes into battle, and the officials look behind their backs, I will issue an official document, and the soldiers of the four counties, including the county lieutenant, will be dispatched by you. ”

It is impossible to fight a war, and besides, by doing this, it is also to help Zhuge Liang cultivate Ma Yan, so as not to make low-level mistakes similar to the loss of the street pavilion in the future.

Liu Yi looked at Ma Jian with an expression of "I am good for you", and said seriously: "There are often geniuses in children, but they lack experience, and this military should also be tempered more." ”

Shouldn't I be thankful?

Ma Jian looked at Liu Yi and was speechless, this is obviously because you are lazy, you have been here in Yueyang for a month, almost all the big and small affairs are handled by yourself, Liu Yi is either reading books or being a craftsman every day, or accompanying his wife and daughter, that life, Ma Jian is a little blushing, why is this right so uncomfortable?

"Sister-in-law, another bowl!" Liu Yi ate with peace of mind, and after drinking the porridge, he shouted outside the door, and did not forget to look at Ma Jian and said: "Don't be polite when you are young, you have to eat well this morning, and you have to work to have energy, eat more, it's enough here." ”

Ma Yan: "......"

"Thank you for your hospitality, I still have official business to do, so I will leave first." Ma Tan silently put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and bowed to Liu Yi, he swore that he would never come if he had nothing to do in the future!
