Zhao Yun smoothly took the class and immediately settled Liu Yu, Zhao Yun ordered someone to invite Liu Yu to his house, personally set up a banquet for wine, and frightened Liu Yu.

As soon as they met, Liu Yu sighed angrily, "Hey, it's hard to say, General Zhao, the old man never dreamed that he would fall into this step, I'm really ashamed." ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly persuaded "Adults don't have to be sad, something has happened, Gongsun Chan has a violent temperament, he doesn't know how to sympathize with the people, and sooner or later he will swallow the bitter fruit." ”

Liu Yu suddenly suffered such a catastrophe, and he was restless and worried and sentimental for several days, not only adding a lot of gray hair, but also a lot of haggardness.

Zhao Yun patiently comforted, and finally let his mood gradually stabilize, and as soon as the dinner was over, Fang Yue strode in, "Lord, Gongsun Chan sent an envoy to ask to see." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that at this time, Gongsun Zhan sent someone to come, and it must be related to Liu Yu.

Sure enough, Gongsun Chan heard that Zhao Yun sent someone to rescue Liu Yu's family, so he was furious and sent someone over, hoping that Zhao Yun would not interfere in the affairs of Youzhou and hand over Liu Yu to Gongsun Zhan.

Zhao Yun categorically refused and directly blasted the envoy out of Luoyang.

Defeated King Zuoxian, Zhao Yun did not give the court a good performance, he has always disliked to be too high-profile, and after Wang Yue returned from Chang'an, Zhao Yun brought Wang Yue and asked him to take the head of King Zuoxian to the Southern Xiongnu.

Next, Luoyang was rarely calmed down, and in May, after a year of reclamation and cultivation, the farmland within a radius of 200 miles in Luoyang ushered in the first bumper harvest.

On this day, Zhao Yun led people out of the city to inspect, accompanied by Liu Zheng, Bing Yuan, Fang Yue and others, and even Cai Yong went out of the city in a carriage.

The breeze blows, and the weeping willows sway.

Outside Luoyang City, looking far away, a golden wave, boundless, between heaven and earth, there seems to be only one color, that is, the golden harvest of brilliant harvest.

In the fields, there are many people, there are busy figures everywhere, everyone sweats like rain, and some even sing songs, everyone's face is filled with the joy of harvest.

Zhao Yun rode on a horse, touching the scene, full of emotion, who would have thought, a year ago, this place was still a barren, everywhere was waist-length withered grass, the people nearby fled, ran away, uninhabited, empty and desolate, but now, the vicissitudes of life, the changes are great, unexpected.

Looking back at everyone, they were all smiling, especially Tian Chou, who had been doing it himself for the past year, running around in the fields all day long, only in his early twenties, he was fair-skinned and handsome, and he was graceful, but now he was good, he became dark and strong, if it weren't for this outfit on his body, he would be like a village man in the countryside.

"Zitai, all of this is your credit, thank you for your hard work." Zhao Yun said sincerely.

Tian Chou smiled and shook his head, "Lord, the law of Tuntian, but you put forward it, I don't dare to take credit, besides, so many people can move to Luoyang, it is also the credit of the lord, how can I do it, just do what I should do, the next step, there are four or five hundred miles of barren fields around, I plan to continue to lead people to reclaim, if the treasury is abundant, by the way, build a few more canals." ”

"Great!"

Fang Yue hurriedly shouted with cheers, but Liu Zheng and Bing Yuan frowned.

Liu Zheng shook his head, "My lord, there is not much left in the treasury now, if you can collect some more taxes and grain, you may be able to raise some gold and silver." ”

Tian Chou sighed, "The lord has a word first, no matter whether there is a bumper harvest or not, we only harvest 40% of each mu of fertile land, if the people provide their own ploughing cattle, only 300% will be harvested, and a total of 300,000 mu will be reclaimed last year, in other words, we can collect up to 300,000 denier of grain." ”

Once it was about equal to 120 catties of the hereafter.

Under the circumstances at that time, the grain output was not optimistic, and the yield per mu of good fields was only about three deniers.

One acre of land, 300 catties is the output, and the government collects one-third, that is, once.

The taxes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, thirty taxes or ten taxes, but other taxes, but there are many kinds, together, the people are very harsh, almost there is no surplus of food, Zhao Yun can not control other places, but in his jurisdiction, there is only one kind of tax, and around Luoyang, there are many fields, as long as you come here to cultivate, the government is strongly supported.

Zhao Yun did not hesitate at all, "There is no money, we will find a way by ourselves, and we must not give the people a showdown again." ”

Liu Zheng sighed, had to swallow back what he wanted to say, Zhao Yun didn't want to add a burden to the people, everyone knew it in their hearts, but there were too many places to use money, building houses, repairing cities, dredging canals, paying soldiers salaries, and giving pensions to dead and wounded soldiers...... Especially in the area of bereavement, Zhao Yun proposed last year that all soldiers who died in battle would receive a one-time subsidy of 50,000 yuan.

In addition, the cost of building a house, building a recruitment hall, and buying cattle and farm tools is really amazing. Zhao Yun just came to Luoyang, although Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others supported a lot of money and food, they couldn't afford such a big consumption, and their family was almost gone.

Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Zheng and smiled, "The difficulties are only temporary, don't worry, there will be good news soon." ”

Everyone was confused, and they didn't know where Zhao Yun got his confidence.

Without money, you can't do anything, don't look at Zhao Yun has won several battles, but once the war breaks out again, he can't support it at all.

In troubled times, when there is a war, what is fought is money, whoever has abundant wealth and rich money and food will have confidence, and it is in vain to have soldiers and generals.

……

Just when Liu Zheng and the others were worried, Wang Yue came to the Xiongnu court alone.

Riding alone, as soon as he appeared, he was surrounded by the Huns.

"Who?" Dozens of Hun guards, glaring at each other, pulled out their scimitars and rushed up, Wang Yue was calm, and sneered proudly, "I want to see you Shan Yu." ”

Since King Zuo Xian sent troops, Hu Chuquan has been worried, not thinking about tea and dinner, difficult to sleep, first was startled by Xu Huang, followed by the delay in getting the news of King Zuo Xian, Hu Chuquan became more and more flustered, at this moment, I heard that Zhao Yun sent an envoy to ask to see, Hu Chuquan's heart suddenly sank.

"Bring the envoy in."

After a short time, under the escort of more than a dozen sturdy guards, Wang Yue calmly walked into the big tent of Shan Yu.

Hu Chuquan is not very old, about thirty, huge, big ears, full of beard, a pair of Tongling big eyes staring coldly at Wang Yue, seeing Wang Yue's eyes like electricity, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth, he didn't kneel when he saw him, and he didn't salute, Hu Chuquan was furious, "Bold, it's really unreasonable, why don't you kneel when you see this king?" ”

Wang Yue sneered, raised a package in his right hand, and threw it in front of Hu Chuquan, the package was impartial, crossed an arc in the air, and landed firmly on the long table in front of Hu Chuquan.
