Early the next morning, Yuan Xi took Tian Chou and said goodbye to the villagers. The people surnamed Tian were not prepared for Tian Chou to leave at all, and they panicked one by one. Tian Chou was smart when he was a child, and once became Liu Yu's staff, and later returned to the township because of the loss of his mother's filial piety, and when he went out of the mountain again, Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan. Tian Chou chou cried in front of Liu Yu's tomb, which alarmed Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan didn't dare to kill such a celebrity, so he let him go. He immediately took one hundred and eighty people in the township to find such a place to live in seclusion, which can be regarded as avoiding the disaster of killing.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but be very happy when he knew that he still had such a background. It's strange to be famous, it turns out to be a pearl in the sea. These three kingdoms are really full of talents, not only the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, but they have gone on their own trip, and they have successfully dug one up? Looking at the favorability, there is also 55, and it is slowly rising every day, and it seems that he is also very satisfied with his lordship.

is indeed very satisfied, on the way back, Tian Chou has been pestering Yuan Xi to discuss problems, mainly focusing on the economy, and asking some livelihood issues. Although Yuan Xi was also born in a professional class in later generations, some principles of economics have almost been forgotten, and the ancient social environment is also different, so it cannot be copied.

"You say that exchange can improve the quality of life, so why do those merchants hoard and collect grain at a cheap price in a good year, and sell food at a sky-high price in a disaster year, one out and one in, how many ordinary people are ruined, which is also called improving life?"

"This is a manifestation of the failure of the market mechanism to regulate, the divergence of price and value. It is also caused by the scarcity of resources, which is a bit like the ebb and flow of the tide. On the other hand, at least the wealthy businessmen thought of hoarding, and they took the risk. If everyone hoards, they will not be blackmailed by merchants even if the disaster year comes. Besides, if the next year is not a disaster year, or a good year, won't these businesses lose money? ”

"But the merchant can afford to lose, what a huge profit. You said that if you come to govern Youzhou, what will you do? ”

"I also hoard ......"

“……”

Yuan Xi asked people to get a carriage and sat in the carriage to argue with Tian Chou. Lou Jingshu was responsible for guarding his safety, so he also sat in the carriage. After a while, Lou Jingshu yawned and said, "Why don't I go out......"

The two men discussed fiercely, and neither of them paid attention to her.

She had no choice but to jump out of the carriage and stretch her muscles, and Lu Fang immediately leaned up and said, "What are they discussing inside?" ”

Lou Jingshu glanced at him vigilantly and said, "I don't know." ”

Since Tian Chou came, Lu Fang has rarely been told by Yuan Xi, and he can't help but feel a little lost, he used to feel that he was the first strategist, why was he left out in the cold now? What is the origin of this Tian Chou, and how can he smell like the second son?

He approached the carriage and heard a voice from inside.

"If you want to encourage trade, why do you encourage people to farm? One set of mouths, another set of subordinates. ”

"The problem in Youzhou is that there are too few people who farm, and I plan to issue Order No. 1 after I go back, open up the wasteland, encourage everyone to farm, collect rent and tax exemption for the first three years, and the land will be their own after three years."

"Clearing the wasteland? How can there be a barren land for you to open? ”

"The place at the junction with Jizhou, there are barren fields, it turns out that Youzhou and Jizhou are at war, and no one cares about these places, so they can be taken back. and Liu Yu's fiefdom before his death......"

"Bold! The fiefdom of the clan, you dare to move? ”

Yuan Xi said: "Hehe, where is there any sect now?" Even Emperor Xian's hometown of Han Xian was copied......"

"Emperor Han Xian?"

"Oh, it's the Son of Heaven today."

"Bold! Your Majesty is still here, and you dare to install it...... Name? It's a big rebellion. ”

"Don't get excited, this emperor will give up the country to Cao Cao, isn't it just a sacrifice. Fair and reasonable. When he reinvigorates the monarchy, let's change the name again, it's just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. ”

Lu Fang listened for a while and thought to himself, what kind of mess is this. It's just this square-faced guy who has the patience to talk so much nonsense with the second son, and if he is himself, he can only write it down and go back and think about it slowly.

Suddenly, there was a "bang", only to hear a muffled sound on the panel of the carriage, followed by Tian Chou's voice: "Bold rebel, actually speak wildly......"

Yuan Xi said: "The gentleman doesn't use his mouth...... Lou Jingshu save me! ”

Lu Fang was shocked, oh no, this Tian Chou actually wants to harm the second son, this is okay. Next to him, Lou Jingshu just looked at the sky and didn't go up to stop it. Lu Fangdao: "The second son called you, why didn't you go up?" ”

Lou Jingshu said lazily: "I'm used to it...... It'll be fine after a while. ”

Sure enough, the cries for help flashed away, and then a new round of discussion began inside.

Lu Fang wiped his sweat and glanced at Lou Jingshu.

Lou Jingshu said lightly: "Do you second sons like men?" ”

Cold sweat oozed from Lu Fang's forehead, which he had just wiped off, and asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Lou Jingshu said: "These two people seem to have a very close relationship, and they stay together all day, and even I can't get in." Your second son doesn't seem to be interested in me at all, but he is very attentive to that stinky old man, don't you think it's strange? ”

Lu Fang looked at her dark skin, strong arms, and the top of her bare head with a few colorful braids, and couldn't help but say, "If it's you, it's not strange......"

Before the words fell, Lu Fang only felt a sharp gaze sweeping towards him......

When he arrived at a small river, Yuan Xi got out of the carriage and splashed a handful of water on his face. Tian Chou followed closely behind him and said, "Why do you think that the northern part of Youzhou is better developed than the southern one? ”

Yuan Xi couldn't help but have a headache. This Tian Chou is energetic, but he is too vigorous, his head is about to dizzy, he is still so bright-eyed and active.

"Wait, wait until I drink my saliva first."

He took the kettle handed by Lou Jingshu.

"Why don't you just drink the water from the river? Drink it from the kettle? ”

"It's boiled water, no parasites."

"Parasites?"

Seeing Tian Chou's eyes light up, Yuan Xi suddenly panicked, thinking that he would have to explain for a long time now. This Tian Chou has to get to the bottom of fresh terms every time, which makes Yuan Xi, who has always been open-mouthed, feel quite difficult. However, this time Tian Chou did not hold on to this topic, but said: "The southern plains of Youzhou are vast and there are many fertile fields, while the northern part is narrow, the land is barren, and they are often harassed by Xianbei people, how do you develop?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "This has to start from the structure of production relations, the Hu people are raging, many famous families in the north have moved to the south, they annexed land, bought good houses, and brought a lot of people, which made the south prosperous." But because of this, there are also fewer obstacles in the north. The social structure is more flat, and as long as there is a slight tilt in policy, it can quickly stimulate the enthusiasm of border residents. First, we have to establish a foundation. Shanggu County is bordered by Xianbei to the north and Dai County to the south, and its jurisdiction is dominated by mountains and passes, which is a transportation artery and can develop trade. Yuyang County, which is adjacent to Liaodong, has a natural pasture where we can encourage the development of animal husbandry. The layout of the industry must be reasonable, and the benefits must be the highest among each other, so as to drive the development of the surrounding areas......"

Tian Chou said: "Ridiculous, didn't you just say that you want to encourage farming?" How is it trade and animal husbandry? It's just a confusing idea! ”

Yuan Xi said: "It's one thing, one thing. You listen to me slowly, this layout is a long-term plan, and the most urgent thing at present is agriculture...... Agriculture is a pillar industry, without agriculture there would be no raw materials, handicrafts could not develop, and without handicrafts there would be no trade commodities, which is a thing that is linked one by one......"

The two took a sip of water and got into the carriage again, and everyone looked at them blankly, silent. The wheels turned slowly, passed Yuyang, and drove towards Ji County.
