Following.

Yang Zhai is a county governing the big city. At its peak, Yangzhai City could accommodate about 80,000 people, which was indistinguishable from Anyi City.

The Han Dynasty at the same time was far from being comparable to Western countries, and there were at least 40 cities with a population of more than 50,000 at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Before the Qin Dynasty, the "Jingtian system" was implemented, and there were 20,000 to 100,000 people in large cities at that time, and this population was the number of people that the city could cover, that is, the urban and rural areas combined. At that time, there were thousands to 20,000 people living in the city alone.

The well field system refers to the state ownership of land in ancient Chinese society. It began in the Shang Dynasty and gradually collapsed after the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qin Dynasty was established and completely abolished.

The well field system is to divide the cultivated land into a certain area of square fields, surrounded by meridians, there is a ditch in the middle, the longitudinal and horizontal, like a 'well' character; one person cultivates about 100 acres; 100 acres is a square, called "a field", and the word "field" in the oracle bone inscription also comes from this; A well is divided into nine squares, and the surrounding eight fields are cultivated by eight households, which are called private fields, and all the harvest of private fields belongs to the cultivators; In the middle is the public land, which is cultivated by eight households, and all the income goes to the nobles of the feudal province.

After the Qin Dynasty, Li Si presided over the implementation of the county system, completely abolished the "well field", so that the people could migrate, the city has been developed rapidly, repeatedly expanded, and many large cities have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, many people fled in Yangzhai City, but there were still some people left in the city. In addition to these civilians, there is also a large number of family members of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Compared to the families of the Yellow Turban soldiers, the original people in the city were severely exploited. The people of the city hated the Yellow Turbans.

Liu Fan also learned that many of the surrounding towns and villages were also in a similar situation to the people in Yangzhai City, resulting in a lot of arable land being barren and seeing no hope for the autumn harvest.

Liu Fan took dozens of soldiers in the army who were good at mathematics to calculate the grain in the city in person.

Liu Fan felt that the 100,000 stone that Liu Pi told him was too little, and the Hedong Guards and his family could take out 100,000 stone of grain. There are also Wei Zi who gave Cao Cao grain and grass support when Cao Cao raised troops in the future, Xuzhou Mi and Chen, Hebei Zhen, Yangzhou Lu, Quan, Jingzhou Cai, Kuai, all of which are only stronger than Hedong Wei's big families.

These big families have the city and Wu Fort to defend it, and the Yellow Turban Army can't easily gnaw it, but the Yellow Turban Army, a second-class Haoqiang family, has plundered a lot, not to mention that the Yellow Turban Army also looted some food for ordinary people.

Liu Pi is really illiterate! Liu Fan didn't know how he calculated the 100,000 stones. It's still hearsay when I used to be a yellow scarf. Liu Fan calculated that the result was 500,000 stones.

And after Liu Pi got the news, his face was red and his face was red, and he was embarrassed.

After finding the granary yesterday, he didn't have time to calculate. He used to hear Bocai say that his own grain is more than 100,000 stones. When he heard more, he believed. So when he reported to Liu Fan yesterday, he said, "It is estimated that it will be at least more than 100,000 stones."

On this day, Liu Fan integrated the 40,000 Yellow Turban troops who surrendered into a team. It is impossible for Liu Fan to let them live a life of eating and opening their mouths.

Liu Fan wanted to distribute some of the grain in the city to the poor people, and surrendered to the Yellow Turban to serve as a grain transportation team.

The Yellow Turbans are very willing to do this kind of thing, and there is no trace of unavoidance. Three meals a day, the treatment is better than when there was a rebellion, and the most important thing is that you don't have to work hard, and you don't have to leave infamy everywhere.

The next day, Liu Fan led dozens of guards and a yellow turban grain transport team of more than 1,000 people to a township by Yingshui in the east of Yangzhai.

There are three major rivers running through Yeongcheon-gun, namely the northernmost part of Yeongcheon-gun, the central Yeonsu, and the southern Yesu. These three major rivers belong to the branches of the Huai River, and most of the county seats in Yingchuan County were established on both sides of these three rivers, with Changshe in the south of Weishui and Yangzhai in Yingshui a little north.

In the Han Dynasty, the official positions in the county, except for the county order and the county cheng, were not called officials, but officials.

The county has a township, and the three elders are selected as the three elders who are highly respected, and the county is assigned to have rank management; There is a pavilion in the countryside, which is managed by the pavilion chief; The pavilion is set up, and there is a lizheng.

All in all, it is a pavilion and a township. The county is the township, and the township is the township.

The place where Liu Fan came is called Huashi Township, where the fields have been ruined, and there are crops in some areas, but the weeds are deeper than the crops. Moths and thieves are everywhere, and the people dare not go out at all.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has been going on for three months, and some people who can't survive have joined the Yellow Turbans, some have fled to other places, and some people have stayed at home without leaving their homes.

There were originally more than 1,000 households in Huashi Township, but now there are only more than 500 left.

Liu Fan came to Yingshang Pavilion, and the people were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out when they saw Liu Fan with such a big formation.

The reason why they didn't run away was because Liu Fan had already ordered the surrendered Yellow Turban Army to take off the yellow turban on their heads. In addition, these people at the head are wearing the armor of officers and soldiers.

In desperation, Liu Fan knocked on the door of the family. After a while, an old man with white hair staggered over and opened the door.

"Meet the official!" The people are afraid of officials, and since ancient times, the old man wants to bow down to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan stretched out his hand to support the old man, bowed in turn, and bowed, "Meet the elder."

The old man was surprised, I don't know why?

Why did such a magnanimous young general bow down to me? I'm just a commoner half-buried in the ground.

"I've been walking for a long time, begging for water." Liu Fan said again.

"Please!" The old man replied.

Then he turned around and walked inside the house.

Liu Fan saw that the old man shook step by step, struggling with difficulty. Hurry up and hold on.

The old man's body trembled, and he continued to walk into the house. and invited Liu Fan to come into the house to rest.

Liu Fan found that there was also an eleven or twelve-year-old boy and a five or six-year-old girl in the house.

Their clothes were old and tattered, their complexion was yellow, and they were malnourished.

After they saw Liu Fan, they squatted in the corner and snuggled together, very scared.

The old man invited Liu Fan to sit, went to pour a bowl of water, and brought it to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan took the bowl and drank it all.

"Does the elder know that the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan has been pacified?" Liu Fan drank the water and asked the old man.

"What? The moth thief has been pacified? The old man said in surprise.

In the next second, old tears crisscrossed between the wrinkles on his face.

"Son! You can rest in peace. ”

"Could it be that Lingzi died at the hands of the Yellow Turban?" Liu Fan asked the old man.

"My son is the head of the local Yingshang Pavilion, because he is a small official, he was killed by a moth thief, and even his daughter-in-law was not spared. The moth thief snatched most of the food in the house, and the grain at the bottom of the warehouse was exhausted. The old man cried.

In the entire Huangshi Township, as long as they are involved with officials, they will be killed by the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Fan came to the corner of the house, touched the little boy's head, and said to him: "Your grandfather is old, you should take on the responsibility of this family."

Under the boy's gaze, Liu Fan walked out silently and said to the guard: "Take two bags of millet, then two bags of rice and a thousand coins."

Millet is yellow rice, which is a treasure in this era, because it is unpalatable, few people in later generations eat it. Rice is rice.

The old man is close to the age of sixtieth, the boy is not yet the year of dancing the spoon, and the girl is still drooping. Even if the family has arable land, they cannot afford to cultivate it.

"No!"

Four guards came to the house carrying four sacks of grain.

The old man wiped away his tears and asked, "What is this?"

"A few bags of millet, rice, and a thousand pieces of money." Liu Fan replied.

After speaking, Liu Fan saluted the old man and withdrew from the house with his personal guards.

There are so many places he has to go, and he can't afford to delay for a moment.

"Dare to ask the general's name?" When Liu Fan was about to go to the next house, the old man went out on crutches and asked, and the little boy and girl followed him.

"Liu Fan, Liu Shimin!" Liu Fan replied.

In the next five days, Liu Fan and his cronies led these surrendered Yellow Turban Army to deliver food to the people of Yangzhai door to door, and those whose families were very dilapidated would also give some money. In addition, Liu Fan also posted a post announcing that the Yellow Turban in Yangzhai County had been pacified, and asked the people to resume farming, dispose of wasteland, and let agriculture operate.

Liu Fan also ordered Guan Yu to lead a part of the surrendered Yellow Turbans to transport grain to Changshe County in the north, and use the same method to revive Changshe County.

In the face of the thousands of thanks of the people everywhere, Liu Fan was ashamed. These things were originally robbed of by the Yellow Turban, and Liu Fan just returned them with interest.
