Wei Shuo insisted on releasing the tenants and did not back down.

In desperation, the major families could only choose to give in.

In just one and a half months, more than 50,000 people were liberated from the Maison.

In this way, the originally empty Taiyuan County suddenly became lively and full.

However, even with tens of thousands of more people, it will not be enough to fundamentally change the reality of the vast and sparsely populated state.

Looking at the number of more than 500,000 people in the account book, Wei Shuo was so anxious that he couldn't wait to send troops to other places to capture some people back.

In ancient times, the lack of population in a place would greatly affect the economic development of the region.

None will be more affected than agricultural production.

And without stable agriculture, there can be no stable rule.

In the past, Hexi's grain needs mainly relied on external imports, such as Persia in the west and the Great Jin Dynasty in the south, which were important grain purchase and production areas in Hexi.

However, Hexi cannot always rely on purchasing grain to survive, and must be self-sufficient in grain.

In the past, the northwest was barren, and Weishuo was not allowed to over-exploit oases and wetlands.

As a result, there is a shortage of arable land and the food produced is difficult to meet daily needs.

Now occupying and merging the state, Hexi is expected to obtain a grain production center.

It must be known that the Sanjin Dynasty may be slightly inferior to the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Hebei, but it is also much stronger than the Northwest.

Not only is the arable land area vast, but also the land is fertile.

It was only because of the lack of population and the influence of the rebellion that a large number of fields were abandoned and never fully utilized.

Now, as the new owner of the state, Wei Shuo must solve this problem and revitalize Sanjin agriculture.

In the plan, subduing the family and liberating the population is only the first step.

The next implementation of the equalization system and the large farm plan is the most important thing, and only by doing these two steps well can it be expected that the state will be built into an important grain production area.

The implementation of the equalization system is the key to stabilizing the merger of prefectures and consolidating the foundation of the masses, and it is also a necessary step to control the merger of prefectures.

Only when the common people have their own fields in their hands will they identify with Hexi from the bottom of their hearts.

However, for today's state, the land is not important, the population is the key.

The population of Bingzhou is too small, and even if everyone divides 100 or 1,000 acres, there is still a large amount of barren land that no one cultivates.

It was for this reason that Wei Shuo did not order the confiscation of the family's land, but allowed it to continue to farm in order to promote the large-scale farm plan.

He knew very well that in the vast and sparsely populated prefectures, the small-scale peasant economy, which was dominated by yeoman farmers, could not meet the needs of the real people.

At this point, the big farm is the only option at the moment.

As far as he knows, among the successful agricultural models in later generations, there are large farm models represented by the United States and Australia.

Farmers themselves and a small number of permanent workers are hired to manage large areas of farms, and large-scale mechanization and automation are implemented.

Large investment, large returns, and large production are the main characteristics of this model.

Specialized high-tech, as well as a perfect supporting service system, is the foundation of the farm to maintain its advantages under this model.

In modern times, a farmer can control thousands of acres of land, which is conducive to the development of intensive agriculture.

Inputs and outputs are concentrated, fully mechanized production, and management is also relatively convenient.

In this case, large farms can achieve economies of scale through intensive agriculture to achieve maximum benefits for agricultural products.

However, this model is very demanding for both the state organization and the individual farmers, and it is obvious that it cannot be achieved under the current conditions of state integration.

In addition to the American model, there is also a relatively successful example of intensive large-scale agricultural management in later generations, that is, the farms under the management of the Production and Construction Corps.

These farms have become one of the few planting industries in China that can keep pace with the world's advanced agricultural production.

Wei Shuo drew on some of the experience of domestic farms and combined it with the current government military system to launch the ancient large farm plan.

The Bingzhou Farm is an agricultural production organization modeled after the nature of the Production and Construction Corps, with members ranging from 300 to 500.

On the farm, a single soldier owns a certain area of land and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the field.

The farms are responsible for the unified operation of ploughing, sowing, irrigation, harvesting, and the prevention and control of sudden disasters.

According to the agricultural plan proposed by the Prefecture and the Prefecture of Thorns, the farm implements the cultivation plan in detail.

In this way, the income of the farm soldiers is directly linked to the operation and management of their own plots, which mobilizes the enthusiasm of the soldiers for production and ensures the unity of responsibilities and rights.

In addition, the soldiers on the farm also receive military training and are still one of the important armed forces to maintain local order.

However, to Wei Shuo's surprise, the family did not look down on such farms, but was interested in the large ranch system like the United States in later generations.

In this regard, Wei Shuo not only did not hinder him, but gave high affirmation, and strongly encouraged the family to take the road of a big farm.

Next, Wei Shuo sat in Jinyang, and with the assistance of Guo Qing and Wang Zhongde, he successfully settled the Bingzhou family.

……

This incident had a far-reaching impact and greatly eased the conflict between Hexi and the family.

In the future, there will be many families who will take the example of the Bingzhou family and take the initiative to choose to take refuge in Hexi.

The successful subjugation of the family did not ease Wei Shuo's downturn, because chaos broke out in Xinxing County again.

As for the reason for the outbreak of chaos, it is also related to the current policy of organizing households and uniting the people.

Organizing the people means that the commanders and leaders of the Hu people will lose control of the tribe, which is unacceptable to many Hu leaders.

But in the face of the strong Hexi, most of the Hu people could only choose to give in, endure the pain and hand over the herdsmen, and go to Jinyang City to become a rich man.

Erzhu Yujian, the chief of the Ranqihu tribe, boasted that he had 2,000 Qihu warriors under his account, and was unwilling to surrender power, so he raised an army to rebel.

When the news reached Jinyang, Wei Shuo immediately convened everyone to discuss counterinsurgency.

"Chihu? What kind of hu is Chihu? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"Most of them don't know something, and the Qihu is the karma."

"During the Yongjia period, the Wuhu rebellion, and Shi Le, the leader of the Qianhu Dynasty, established the Later Zhao Empire in the north with the assistance of the Han Zhang Bin."

"Later, due to the uprising of the king of Wumourning, most of the Qiang Hu were slaughtered, and only a few of the Qiang people survived, and Xiurong City, Xinxing County, was one of the gathering places of Qihu."

"The leader is Erzhu Yujian, and his command is nearly 2,000 savage and fierce Qihu warriors, who are quite famous in the local area."

"And the minister also heard that this Erzhu Yujian had a close relationship with the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuobaju."

"Oh, I see."

After listening to Guo Yi's introduction, Wei Shuo had some understanding of this Qihu.

At the same time, as soon as he heard about the other party's leader, Erzhu, he immediately thought of the heroic Erzhu Rong in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

How did Wei Shuo know that the famous Er Zhu Rong was the great-great-grandson of Er Zhu Yujian.

"Humph! Thinking about it, Erzhu Yujian hadn't seen the situation clearly, and thought it was an era when Qihu was rampant in the world. ”

"Since he wants to die so much, Shuo will fulfill him."

Wei Shuo immediately authorized Wang Zhongde, the governor of the prefecture, and ordered him to be responsible for suppressing the rebellion of Qihu in Xinxing County.

To tell the truth, he didn't take the deed nonsense seriously at all, and only entrusted all affairs to Wang Zhongde.

"Zhongde, you must exterminate the Qi as soon as possible, even if it is found to be involved in the Northern Wei Dynasty, don't expand the situation, understand?"

Based on the current situation, it is by no means a wise choice to involve the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After the battle of annexing the state, Hexi will enter a long period of dormancy to develop people's livelihood.

In addition, Guanzhong is the next most important target to solve, and before taking Guanzhong, he will not take the liberty of making enemies with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

……

The autumn evening breeze, with a hint of coolness, slowly blows through Xiurong City.

Inside the city, Erzhu Yujian, the leader of the Qihu, was full of melancholy, and his face was full of worry.

originally thought that the policy of Hexi would not be popular with all Hu and the family, as long as he ascended to the heights, all parties would inevitably look at the scenery.

At that time, Tuoba Wei will be recruited to help in the war, even if he can't defeat Hexi, he can also rely on Daidi to divide the northern Jin Dynasty.

Clinker, when he raised the anti-flag, he found out that things are not so simple.

The family had been subdued by Wei Shuo, and most of the Hu people had long been frightened by Hexi and did not dare to rebel openly at all.

In this way, it exposed the Qihu tribe under Hexi's nose, and also put Erzhu Yujian in danger.

Thinking that Wang Zhongde was leading thousands of iron horsemen to kill, Erzhu Yujian suddenly shuddered.

Suddenly, he jerked to his feet, a grim look flashing in his eyes.

He must not accept his fate, otherwise when the city is broken, other clansmen may live, but as the leader of the tribe and the culprit of the rebellion, he will never be spared.

Er Zhu Yujian paced back and forth in the hall with a cold face, thinking about how to get out of trouble.

At present, it is absolutely impossible to stay in the lonely city, and staying in Xiurong can only wait for death.

So he could only think of escaping, taking advantage of the fact that the Hexi army had not yet arrived, and fled as far away as possible......
