Chapter 227: Niu Jin's Troubles

Zhuo County is a large county with abundant water, especially a lot of groundwater, even in later generations, the groundwater reserves near Zhuo County are still as high as 640 million cubic meters, coupled with the influence of geothermal resources in its territory, it is a more suitable place for rice cultivation.

However, now northerners are still accustomed to planting wheat and corn, because the yield of rice is still relatively low due to the influence of climate, and its stress resistance and vitality are not as good as that of hybrid rice, so corn and wheat, which are easier to survive and develop, are the things that the locals like to grow.

After Cao Pi came to Zhuo County, he immediately summoned the Taishou of Zhuo County, and the current Zhuo County Taishou was still in office during the Yuan Shao period, because Zhuo County was far away from the main battlefield of Yuan and Cao Cao during the war, and it was not a border county, so it was not affected too much, and when Yuan Xi left, Zhuo County Taishou immediately surrendered to Cao Cao, so the people's livelihood in this place was better protected, and the richest place in the whole Youzhou was Zhuo County.

Similarly, the place that lent the most grain to Cao Pi was also Zhuo County. Taishou Li Li is a big creditor of Cao Pi, but when he saw Cao Pi, Li Li couldn't put up a creditor's shelf, but very politely invited Cao Pi to his home for a banquet. The Li family in Zhuo County is a super big family, and the people in their family cannot dominate Zhuo County~~ County, but in another county called Fanyang, half of the residents of this county are the Li family, either the tenant stewards with a relatively high status in their manor, or the craftsmen who make wine and fire utensils in the manor, or they are the strong men who lead the township in their family.

The people of Zhuo County all said that the real governance of Zhuo County was actually in Fanyang, not Zhuo~~ County. This Li Li Cao Pi actually has a little impression, when he played chess with his chess friends, the old man once said the rise and fall of Jingzhou, a place that must be fought for in the world, first said that Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou and laid a large foundation, and then said a very legendary time in the history books.

That was when Jian'an was thirteen years old, and suddenly a woman in Jingzhou suddenly cried out: "There will be a big funeral in Jingzhou." The magistrate in the county felt that she was confusing the people with her bewitchment, so he locked her up, and after a month, the woman suddenly cried again in prison: "Liu Jingzhou died today." The county official specially sent a horse official to Xiangyang, hundreds of miles away, to inspect, Liu Biao really died, and the county official released the woman, and then the woman said: "Li Li is a nobleman." Later, Cao Cao leveled Jingzhou, and sure enough, Li Li Jingzhou was assassinated.

That Jingzhou Thorn History Li Li is a native of Zhuo County, Cao Pi doesn't think that a Thorn History will have no official position at all before this, so this Zhuo County Taishou Li Li must be the future Jingzhou Thorn History. When he heard this story, Cao Pi asked a few more questions because his ancestral home was ~~~~~ Hubei, although he remembers it clearly now.

In addition to the fact that there was no white rice, the Li family's banquet was almost as rich as the first time he ate a big meal at Zhong Xuan's house, and they actually had wine here, which made Cao Pi improve his food, so Cao Pi was very kind to the officials of Zhuo County.

Li Li took the opportunity to say: "The state pastor, Zhuo County is rich, it is the crown of Youzhou, but if you pass through a place, since you should start with a rich land, you might as well move the state capital to Zhuo County, and the lower officials will definitely try their best to manage the state pastor." ”

Zhuo Jun Cheng also said: "Li Taishou is reasonable, the grain of Zhuo County can account for seventy percent of Youzhou, although there are many people in Zhuo County, there are 100,000 households, but there are a lot of anointed land wasted, I heard that the thaumaturgy of the state herd first farmers, as long as the army is opened in Zhuo County, it will be able to feed the people of Youzhou." ”

This county is also a member of the Li family, and the entire Zhuo County can be said to be under the control of the Li family. Cao Pi smiled and said: "Jianxian is reasonable, but now that the Northern Barbarians have not been destroyed, the Yuan family is still there." Youzhou is not stable, as the pastor of a state, I should guard the border county to ensure the peace of the party,"

Cao Pi did not call Li Li Taishou, but called him by the word, which was already a great show of goodwill at the first meeting, and everyone in the Li family did not say more, but praised Cao Pi for having a quiet heart. Then Cao Pi said: "But I must handle the matter of Zhuo County's tuntian, Jianxian can circle the emperor who is suitable for planting rice in Zhuo County, and I will send people to establish Tuntian, build a village in one year, and start planting rice in the spring of the following year." ”

Li Li immediately spoke: "Zhou Mu is relieved, although Zhuo County is not big, it is no longer a problem to spread out more than 5,000 acres of plastered land. ”

Cao Pi smiled: "That's very good. Li Li sent Cao Pi to a separate courtyard in Fanyang to rest, and suddenly said in the courtyard: "The grain of the Li family borrowed by the state pastor does not need to be repaid, and if it is difficult to return in two years, there is no need to pay it back, after all, the state pastor borrowed grain to feed the people of Youzhou, and the lower officials are also from Youzhou, and they do not ask for anything in return." ”

This is actually equivalent to showing favor to Cao Pi, but I heard Cao Pi smile and said: "Jianxian this heart I received, but the grain that should be returned still has to be exchanged, this is not that I don't want to produce less food, but this move is a matter of faith for Shang Yingli Mu, if you don't say what you say, then you will lose your trust in the Youzhou clan, although this Youzhou is the state pastor, but as small as a county, a city, a county, a township, a mile, after all, it is still Jianxian such a local family can take care of it, it is my hope and you and so on, naturally to win the trust of you first, is to practice what you say." ”

After hearing this, Li Li suddenly realized, and was greatly moved and said: "The state pastor treats us northland squires like this, and we will definitely do our best to assist the state pastor. ”

Cao Pi smiled, feeling a little ridiculous in his heart, this family is actually a big tumor itself, and it is a bloodsucking worm that absorbs imperial power, but now he has to appease them, and even find a way to make them stronger, as if you know that marijuana is harmful to the body, but you can't do without it, which makes Cao Pi feel a little uncomfortable.

After saying goodbye to Li Li, Cao Pi returned to the main hall of the courtyard where he stayed, and said to Niu Jin beside him: "The matter of Zhuojun is over, tomorrow we can go back to Youbeiping, wait for the news of General Zhang, Ziwen, and Ji Yong, and after the news from all three sides comes, we will prepare for the crusade against the remnants of the Yuan clan and the Wuhuan people, Cambridge, this time I will let you lead an army, and you will follow me since you have been familiar with military books for many years, and you should also apply what you have learned." ”

Niu Jin was very excited when he heard this, these days he felt that he was more irritable, as the kid grew older, his strength and martial arts became more and more powerful, and he actually had the feeling that he could not resist, he himself understood, it was because the fifteen-year-old was still in the stage of growing his body, and his body bones had been fixed, and it was difficult to have room for improvement in strength, but he was improving every day, he was worried that his role as the leader of the guards would gradually be inferior to that of the Tyrant, but now he had the opportunity to lead an army by himself, It was when he proved himself to Cao Pi that he immediately replied loudly: "I will collect the remnants of the Yuan family and smash the Wuhuan royal court."
