Xu Shu smiled: "Don't be arrogant!" This is the unanimous opinion reached by everyone in Lumen Mountain after discussion, and there is no exaggeration. Although the He family is not more than 100 years old, he has been operating Nanyang for ten years, expelling the Yellow Turban and anti-thieves and protecting the territory and the people. Vigorously develop agriculture and commerce, encourage childbirth, and govern the government clearly. Not to mention that it is in Jingzhou, it is second to none in the entire Han Dynasty. If there is a natural or man-made disaster in the surrounding counties, the first reaction is to try their best to get the road guide and migrate to Nanyang County! If you can't do it, you will flee to Nanyang as a homeless person and serve for free for three years to get a household registration in Nanyang! ”

"Holy! Is Nanyang household registration so hot now? He Xian still didn't believe it in his heart, and turned his head to look at Li Yan.

Li Yan's strategy is not outstanding, but he is indeed a good hand in internal affairs. He accurately grasped the core of He Xian's "super strong thought", and used the Yellow Turban Disaster to mobilize the power of the people when the clan power of the Nanyang County family was the weakest, enhance the prestige of the government, and govern Nanyang in an orderly manner. Moreover, the Nanyang model of the coexistence of the "people's commune" and the "family landlords" was explored, and the displaced people were constantly attracted, the wasteland was reclaimed, the income was increased, the industry was developed, the people were educated, and the medical treatment was promoted.

Li Yan held an account book produced by Nanyang Paper Mill and said proudly: "Lord, what Xu Gongzi said is basically not bad!" Not to mention anything else, just talk about population. In the first year of Jianning (168 AD), when the first emperor ascended the throne, there was a statistic in the seven counties of Jingzhou, with 900,000 households and a population of more than 4.5 million; There are 260,000 households in Nanyang and a population of more than 1.3 million. Since then, Nanyang has encountered a series of epidemics, yellow turban thieves are in chaos, and the people are sick to death, starvation, and war death. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Nanyang was determined, his subordinates did a census in order to measure the land and divide the labor equally. There are 150,000 households in Nanyang, with a population of less than 800,000. Now, five years later, the number of household registrations in Nanyang has increased to 300,000, with a population of more than 1.3 million. According to the data obtained by the subordinates, the total number of households in the remaining six counties is less than 400,000, and the population is only more than 2 million. “

From the comparison of Li Yan's population data, it can be clearly seen that the population of Nanyang County has grown violently in recent years.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Three Kingdoms, when the Jin Dynasty ruled the world, China's population was in a state of significant decline. At the time of Shu's death, there were 280,000 households, 940,000 people, and 102,000 soldiers with armor, accounting for one of the nineth. At the time of Wu's death, there were 530,000 households, 2.3 million populations, 230,000 internal soldiers, accounting for one of the whole tens, 32,000 officials, and 5,000 harems. At the time of Wei Pingshu, there were 660,000 households and a population of 4.4 million. The three countries have a total household of 1.4 million and a population of 7.76 million. From a population of more than 50 million people, it has been declining by more than 7 million, nine out of ten, which shows the fierceness of natural and man-made disasters at that time, and the hardships of the people's existence.

He Xian stood up, bowed to Li Yanshen and said, "Over the years, Brother Fangzheng has worked hard!" ”

Li Yan hurriedly replied: "The lord praised it falsely!" Nanyang Daye is the credit of the lord! With the lord and the generals constantly leading the troops to fight, Nanyang can obtain today's special status. With Wen Xiang, Wei and the two adults constantly purging the bandits in the county, the people of Nanyang can live in peace. With Li Feng and Wang Xiaoxiao, two adults, who kept educating the people and reforming the Yellow Turbans and the displaced people from other counties, Nanyang could have a bumper grain harvest and economic development. Mr. Sima presided over the Shuijing Academy, and set up county schools and Mongolian schools in various counties, so that Nanyang education could be opened. With Mr. Zhongjing's extensive teaching of medical skills and the cultivation of doctors, the people of Nanyang can stay away from illness and live a healthy life...... Everything in Nanyang was bought by the princes with hard work and sweat, and they didn't dare to be greedy! ”

"Congratulations! There are so many talented people under his command, united as one, for the benefit of the people and the Han! Xu Shu said with sincere admiration.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to my lord! And they stood up in conformity.

"Fang Zheng is right, Nanyang can have today, all because of the efforts of everyone here. Ben had a dream that troubled times would not come. But now it seems that the troubled times are unstoppable. I hope that within the jurisdiction of my ability, I can reserve a piece of paradise for the people and leave a spark for the Han Dynasty! He Xian said with some emotion.

"In this way, the lord can't give up Jingzhou, and the people of the other seven counties of Jingzhou are still waiting for the lord to protect him!" Xu Shu said with a smile.

He Xian smiled and said: "Speaking of the five great families in Jingzhou just now, my He family is barely a family because of the advantage of Nanyang's large population. So what about the other four? “

"The Cai family is a Jingzhou family. He lives in Xiangyang County, South County, and his current family name is Cai Mingmao, and his aunt is the wife of Zhang Wen, the former Taiwei. Huang, Jiangxia Wang clan. Now there are two, one is still in Jiangxia, which is Jiangxia County Shouhuang Zu; The other moved to Xiangyang, Nanjun, and the head of the family was the father of Yueying's little lady, Mr. Huang Yancheng. Kuai's family, living in Zhonglu County, Nan County, the head of the family, Kuai Liang, and his brother Kuai Yue are all people with outstanding intelligence, if the lord can get the loyalty of the Kuai brothers, it is easy to govern Jingzhou. ”

"And what about the Xiang clan?" He Xian continued to ask.

"The Xiang family is also a native of Xiangyang, Nanjun, although not as prominent as the Cai family, but the family education is profound. Xiang Lang, the current head of the family, is still the senior brother of the lord! Because Xiang Lang used to study under Mr. Sima when he was young. His younger brother Xiang Pet, now also studying in Lumen Mountain, is Shu's younger brother! ”

"In this way, the Huang family, the Xiang family and my Nanyang have a lot of relationship, if the lord comes forward, he should get the support of the two of them!" Li Yandao.

"The Cai family and my Huang family are each other's in-laws! Cai Mao's eldest sister is Yueying's eldest mother! Huang Yueying added.

The eldest mother, that is, the meaning of the wife. Huang Yueying's mother has foreign blood, so she is just Huang Yancheng's concubine and has no status in the Huang family. But fortunately, Huang Yueying has been smart since she was a child, especially in the field of organ arithmetic, so she is deeply loved by Huang Yancheng.

In the Han Dynasty, families formed an intricate network of relationships through mutual in-laws, so that they could help each other and watch over each other in times of suffering.

This Cai Mao was also a well-known figure in Jingzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Xian rode into Jingzhou, he married another sister of Cai Mao and gave birth to a son, Liu Cong. Cai Mao, as Liu Biao's brother-in-law, became the second person in Jingzhou under Liu Biao. He was in power in Jingzhou for more than ten years, until Cao Cao went south, he and Kuai Yue jointly forced Liu Cong to subdue Cao Cao, and then entered Cao Cao's command, successively engaged in Zhonglang, Sima, Changshui Lieutenant, knighted as the Marquis of Hanyang Pavilion.

Now Liu Biao has quietly sneaked into Jingzhou, but I don't know if Cai Mao's sister has been slept by him.
