Yuan Xu and his entourage arrived in Taiyuan, and Gao Gan personally greeted them outside the city gate.

During the Battle of Guandu, Gao Gan did not directly participate in the battle, but only supplied grain, grass and soldiers to the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao discussed counterattacking Cao Cao, and did not invite him to Yecheng.

Yuan Xu, who has traveled to this era, is still seeing him for the first time.

Seeing Yuan Xu from afar, Gao Gan greeted him.

He bowed: "I'll wait until I show up!" ”

"Cousin!" Yuan Xu replied: 'I came to Taiyuan to take up a post, and I should go to meet me, why did I go out of the city to greet me in person? ”

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so it makes sense that we should go out of the city to greet us." Gao Gan stepped aside: "Xianxin, please enter the city." ”

Taiyuan is located in Bingzhou, the battle of Guandu did not affect here, and the people in the city are very lively.

"My cousin has managed the state in an orderly manner, and Taiyuan is much more lively than Yecheng." Walking towards the official mansion, Yuan Xu praised Gao Gan.

"Yecheng used to be very lively, but it was a little depressed after the Guandu War." Gao Gan replied: "As long as Cao Cao is defeated, the fleeing people will return to their hometowns, and they will be the same as in the past." ”

"I just want to experience in Taiyuan, and I can share my father's worries in the future." Yuan Xu asked, "Cousin doesn't have any ideas, right?" ”

"How so!" Gao Gan laughed: "It's great that you can come to Bingzhou." When I first got the news, I made a decision to hand over Taiyuan completely to you. ”

Yuan Xu didn't expect him to do this.

He asked Gao Gan, "What do you mean, cousin?" ”

"You govern the place, and I am pointing fingers on the sidelines, isn't it adding to the chaos?" Gao Gan said: "If you don't understand, you can ask me, you and my brother work together to make the state stable, and it is also to solve my uncle's worries." ”

"I'll go to Yanmen." Gao Gan replied: "It's not far from Taiyuan, so it's easy to take care of something if you have something." ”

The more humble Gao Gan was, the more embarrassed Yuan Xu felt.

He didn't want to keep him in a false way, so he simply asked Gao Gan: "When does my cousin plan to leave?" ”

"Early tomorrow morning." Gao Gan replied: "Accompany you for a walk in the city today, and then explain the affairs of Taiyuan." ”

"Thank you, cousin." Yuan Xu thanked him.

Taiyuan is the seat of the state, and the mansion of the high cadres is in the city.

He decided to go to Yanmen, and Yuan Xu naturally became the new owner of the mansion.

Before Yuan Xu came to Bingzhou, Gao Gan's family had already gone on the road, the house had already been cleaned up, and even the sleeping mattress had been replaced with a new one.

All he had to do was stay.

Gao Gan's house is much larger than his other courtyard in Yecheng, and the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard bring a bit of elegance to this house.

Accompanied Yuan Xu into the mansion, Gao Gan introduced him: "This mansion was built by the previous governor and the state assassin history, and after I came, I renovated it." The house is fairly clean, and I haven't seen any ghosts and evil spirits. ”

Yuan Xu was secretly amused in his heart.

The spells he cultivates are specialized in attracting evil spirits, so how can he be afraid of any ghosts and evil spirits?

If there were those things, they would soon be reaped by him as slaves.

"My cousin gave me Taiyuan, and even the house was handed over, and I wrote down this friendship." Yuan Xu arched his hand.

"How to govern Taiyuan, does Xianxin have any plans?" Gao Gan asked.

"Whether it is local stability or a large army going on an expedition, food is indispensable." Yuan Xu replied: "I plan to expand agriculture and animal husbandry. Within a year or two, everyone will have clothes to wear and meat to eat. ”

Gao Gan nodded: "I've always wanted to do this, but the world is turbulent, and many things have not been started, and they are stillborn......"

After saying that, he sighed.

"How much grain can be produced per mu of land in Taiyuan today?" Yuan Xu asked about grain production.

"A hundred acres is not a hundred stones." Gao Gan replied: "After years of conscription, there are not enough farmers, and sometimes they can't reach so much. ”

One acre in the Eastern Han Dynasty is equivalent to about 0.228 acres in later generations.

According to the data given by Gao Gan, with the unit of measurement more than 2,000 years later, the yield of one mu of land is only one or two hundred catties.

With such a small amount of grain per acre of land, once the population grows, of course, there will be famine.

In addition, there is a serious shortage of labor force due to years of war, and grain production will be lower.

Yuan Xu nodded: "The strong labor in the field is insufficient, and it is indeed necessary to think of a way." ”

"What can be done?" Gao Gan shook his head: "A few years ago, there were yellow scarves, and the cattle were robbed in various places, and most of the farmers now rely on manpower to cultivate. In many places, there is no fertile land, but grass can only grow there. ”

"What about the woman?" Yuan Xu asked, "Although they can't cultivate the fields like men, at least they can do some weed-clearing work." ”

"Women spin and weave, or wear anything." may have thought Yuan Xu's question was funny, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xianxin was too far away from the people in the past, and he didn't know much about this. ”

Yuan Xu smiled.

He didn't argue, but he thought in his heart that if he got the rice seeds of hybrid rice after 2,000 years, and then put some high-yield chickens, ducks and geese into feeding, it would take less than two years for Taiyuan to be full of grain.

When the time comes, the population will be encouraged to have children, and after ten or twenty years, Taiyuan alone will not be easily coveted by other heroes.

The two were talking about topics related to Taiyuan, and Zhen Mi's handmaiden came over.

"Childe, Madame has settled down." The handmaiden owes her life.

"I'll go and explain a few words to my wife, and I'll walk around the city with my brother later." Yuan Xu bowed his hand to Gao Gan.

Gao Gan replied: "Xianxin just go, I'll wait here." ”

Led by the maid, Yuan Xu walked into the inner courtyard to find Zhen Mi.

Born in the Zhen family, Zhen Mi's previous house was more courageous than here.

It's just that at that time she was just the daughter of the family to be married, and now she is the mistress of this mansion.

The identity is different, and the feeling is certainly different.

After settling in, she did not stay in the house, but took her two maids and strolled through the back garden.

Seeing Zhen Mi from afar, Yuan Xu walked over quickly.

Seeing him coming, Zhen Mi bowed and saluted: "I've seen my husband." ”

"What does Madame think of here?" Coming to her, Yuan Xu asked with a smile.

"From now on, this is our home??" Zhen Mi still doesn't seem to believe it.

"Of course." Yuan Xu stepped forward and hugged her, and smiled sheepishly: "Madame's menstrual affair has also passed, and we have also arrived in Taiyuan, ...... tonight"

Knowing what he was talking about, Zhen Mi blushed and lowered her head.

When her daughter's family gets married, she will experience this sooner or later.

As Yuan Xu's wife, how could her refuse when her husband mentioned it?

"Gao Gan is still waiting outside." Yuan Xu said to her again: "Madame will wash up and wait for me at night, and I will come back when I finish my work." ”

Zhen Mi lowered her head shyly and did not respond, Yuan Xu smiled evilly and pinched the tip of her nose: "I'll go first." ”

Yuan Xu left.

It wasn't until he walked away that Zhen Mi raised his head.

Thinking of what he said just now, Zhen Mi's cheeks instantly turned red again......
