On the ninth day of the first month of March, it was already the season of green grass, and Ye Zhao married Cai Yan in Chengdu with the etiquette second only to the prince, which attracted the attention of people all over the world.

For the big man, marrying a ...... with such fanfare Flat wife, I'm afraid even the emperor rarely has such a high-profile.

But what really cares is not the wedding itself, but the meaning behind it.

Because of this wedding, but the Son of Heaven helped correct his name, and he personally issued an edict to recognize the status of the flat wife, even the Son of Heaven didn't care about this matter, and the princes and scholars naturally found it difficult to criticize this matter, and even after that, the princes and clans around the country also followed suit, and set up the position of the equal wife above the concubine.

What's more, Ye Zhao became the lord of Shuzhong, and the imperial court also issued an edict, in addition to Ye Zhao's hussar general and Ye County's marquis, he also served as Yizhou pastor, which is what the princes really cared about.

Don't look at the fact that everyone refuses to recognize the orthodoxy of the imperial court now, but in this kind of thing, everyone is still consistent, because now the official positions of the princes from all walks of life are basically canonized by the imperial court, and Ye Zhao has in fact occupied Shuzhong, with the terrain of Shuzhong, even if he doesn't admit it, he can't do anything with Ye Zhao, but it is easy to provoke Ye Zhao, it is better to be a favor.

At the same time, many things in Shu were also well known to the princes, such as the establishment of academies in various counties for poor students, and as a large number of scholars came to watch the ceremony, the news was transmitted back to the Central Plains and gradually spread in the Central Plains.

Many princes are keenly aware that although Ye Zhao does not have any communication, this is inviting them to do it together, that is to say, Ye Zhao is calling on the princes of the world to join him in this way, not to mention against the family, but it is really to snatch the monopoly of knowledge from the family.

As a prince, no matter how big or small, he can be regarded as a soil emperor, and the angle of looking at the problem is naturally different from that of a courtier, as long as he is not too stupid, he can see the mystery.

However, the Central Plains is not as good as Shuzhong, even if Ye Zhao has created a precedent, no one dares to do it in a short period of time, not everyone has the strength to suppress the scholars like Ye Zhao, and Shuzhong does not have to consider the attitude of the corporal in the world, but in the Central Plains, even if it is as strong as Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, they have to consider the attitude of the corporal in the world, so no one follows suit, and even most people are scolding Ye Zhao with the scholars, but this seed is planted, just when the time is ripe, Ye Zhao believes, There will be people who will stand up and break the circle with themselves.

After all, printing has now been popularized, and the poor have many more ways to access knowledge, and the base has been greatly increased, even without the support and deliberate promotion of the government, as long as there is enough time to brew, a large number of talents will emerge among the poor in the future to fill the world and begin to help the princes against the family.

At that time, it is the best time to dominate the world, because the scholars' right to speak and their ability to influence the world will be greatly weakened, and Ye Zhao's resistance will naturally be reduced too much, even without the support of the scholars, Ye Zhao can still gain the allegiance of a large number of poor talents.

In the third year of the first peace (192 AD), when the princes of the world were busy with disputes, Shuzhong was silent, and the road between Hanzhong and Guanzhong was closed in the north, in addition to the necessary official exchanges, almost cut off contact with the outside world, and in the south, Zhang Lu finally did not do it, with Ye Zhao's step-by-step economic blockade, Langzhong was almost trapped by Ye Zhao into a dead land, especially with Ye Zhao's division of Bazhong, Brazil has been surrendered, Zhang Lu's position has become more embarrassing.

At the end of the third year of Chuping, Zhang Lu finally couldn't support it and handed over the rights in his hands, and Yang Ang and Yang Ren led 20,000 Shu troops to surrender to Ye Zhao, and at the same time, Yan Pu, a staff member under his command, was also recruited by Ye Zhao into Chengdu/Du, Zhang Lu continued to be the Brazilian Taishou, but as Ba County was divided into three by Ye Zhao, Brazil County, which only had three counties, was gradually and completely controlled by Ye Zhao after Ye Zhao institutionalized step by step.

In Shuzhong, the power of the county taishou in addition to handling government affairs, even the finances can not be controlled, Ye Zhao has a special tax officer and a supervisor triple supervision official in each county, not subordinate to each other, two bright and one dark, although it is impossible to completely eliminate corruption, but to limit the living space of corruption to the greatest extent.

"This year, because of the promotion of manure, even if the tax of five taxes and one is paid, the tax of Shu County, Guanghan and Qianwei is the land of the three counties of 800,000 stones, although it is not as good as in previous years, but the other counties because of the appearance of manure, the grain production has increased greatly, and the balance can be basically guaranteed, without the support of the three counties, so calculated, the entire Yizhou field tax is more than in previous years, even if the 200,000 stone grain and grass that paid tribute to the imperial court are put aside, it is enough to feed my Yizhou army." In the Hussar Mansion, Qiu Chi, who was in charge of the farmland, bowed to Ye Zhao with a thick smile on his face.

Counting Zhang Lu's 20,000 troops and the 30,000 soldiers and horses recruited, now Yizhou has a total of 100,000 troops, plus 20,000 defenders in Hanzhong, which is 120,000 people.

This is only the first year, the people are still resistant to manure, but because of the tax reduction, the enthusiasm of the people has increased greatly, and Shuzhong this year's wind and rain are smooth, even if the effect of manure is not fully played, it still makes Shuzhong have a bumper harvest this year.

It is foreseeable that after the people have a new understanding of manure and are familiar with the use and production methods of manure, as long as there is no filling in next year, Shuzhong will usher in a greater harvest.

"Now the status of the lord in the hearts of the people in Shuzhong is not lower than that of the first saint." Zhang Su said with a smile.

Ye Zhao nodded: "The role of manure needless to say, since now the grain is enough to meet the people of Shuzhong, I want to start next year, in all parts of Shuzhong, open some pastures, I have ordered the caravan in this year, from outside the territory to buy a lot of livestock, Chengdu / Du ranch this year trial breeding, is also a great success, only one year, will get 1,000 calves, more than 2,000 foals, more than 5,000 lambs, remarkable results, but the government to do is to regulate, governance rather than farming and raising livestock, is to let some people willing to try to breed, the old rules, two percent of the tax, if our soldiers want to train more elite, they need more meat. ”

"Lord, now because of the manure, the grain production has increased greatly, if it can be like this every year in the future, it is indeed possible to vacate some areas to raise livestock, but the minister is worried that it may not be able to harvest every year, it is a large-scale breeding, I am afraid it will ......" Zhang Su stepped forward and looked at Ye Zhao with some concern.

"You don't have to be so rigid about the problem, in fact, raising livestock is not as complicated as Junqiao said." Ye Zhao explained with a smile: "For example, a farmer's family, planting ten acres of land, can raise two cows, a pair of chickens, in addition to the grain harvested by the dealer, those remaining branches and leaves do not have to be burned, can be chopped up and fed to cattle, and some chickens can also be put into the field, not only do not need to be specially fed, but these chickens can also help to remove insects, so calculated, in addition to the cost of buying cattle and chickens, there is basically no need to spend, and after the cattle grow, whether it is used to continue to lay cubs or sell, it is a lot of income." ”

"What the lord said, it can indeed be tried, but the minister thinks that it should be cautious and gradually promote it, so as not to get out of control." Changshi Zhang Song stood up with a smile, and his ugly face was like a chrysanthemum blooming.

Ye Zhao said that now it is just an ideal state, you can try it, if it succeeds, the people will be richer, the people will be richer, and the government will naturally be rich.

For the new lord of Shuzhong, after Zhang Song's rejection from the beginning, after a year of running-in, his admiration is greater than his resistance.

In just one year, the whole Yizhou has almost changed compared with last year, and it is foreseeable that if the current situation can be maintained for ten years, Yizhou will definitely become the richest state in the world.

"Let's talk about the population." Ye Zhao nodded, now Shuzhong is in the midst of infrastructure construction, mainly agriculture and animal husbandry, and when these two things are saturated, other industries can develop into a natural situation, otherwise if there is not enough to eat, the development of industry and commerce will be a bit of a seedling.

"Back to the lord." Man Zhong bowed and said: "In the land of Jingzhao, after the Xiliang Army was expelled, a large number of people from Sanfu poured into Hanzhong, but Hanzhong now has a population of one million, which is not suitable for resettlement, and it is a minister who moved many people from Guanxi into Sanba and other places, with a population of about 80,000 households, after verification at the end of the year, if Yizhou is now counted in Hanzhong, the registered population will be 2.73 million households, 8 million people. ”

"How is the negotiation on the Qingqiang side?" Ye Zhao looked at Qin Mi, in the era of cold weapons, the competition for the world is population, grain and grass, and now that Yizhou is in the stage of accumulating strength, Ye Zhao hopes that the population can be as large as possible.

And the aid of the population, one is as the previous full pet said, absorbing the displaced people, the second is natural production, and the third is naturalization, now Ye Zhao's main goal is above Qingqiang, after all, this Qingqiang is a Qiang tribe whose living customs are closest to the Han people, and it is also the easiest to naturalize.

"I have persuaded some small tribes, but because the leader of Qingqiang died in Mianzhu Pass before, Qingqiang is very hostile to us, and if you want to move out, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it in a short time." Qin Mi smiled bitterly.

"I have a plan." Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "You can communicate with them first, food, equipment, in short, except for weapons, anything can be communicated, and when they can't leave, it will be easier to persuade them, if you still don't agree, cut off these, I think, they will agree." ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched, they had long known that the military advisor beside Ye Zhao was not a gentleman, but now it seems that it is true, but this method is worth trying.

"Lord, Mrs. Cai is born!" Just as Ye Zhao and everyone were naturalizing the direction of the coming year, a hussar mansion man rushed over in a hurry, was stopped by Dian Wei at the door, and shouted loudly.

"I don't know the rules!" Ye Zhao frowned and looked out the door.

"Congratulations, my lord!" When everyone in the hall heard this, they stood up one by one and bowed to Ye Zhao to congratulate him.

Ye Zhao nodded, also stood up and said, "That's all for today, if you have other things, you can come to my mansion at any time to report." ”

"Congratulations to my lord!"
