After identifying the officials of the old dynasty who came to Chen Liucheng with Cao Cao, Liu Yi did not make a decision to deal with it immediately, because it still needed to be carefully checked before it could be. What's more, their roots are still in Xudu, and this kind of thing can't be rushed.

After pacifying the people of Chenliucheng, the New Han Army also controlled the regional towns around Chenliu at the same time, completely opening up the Dutou passage between the Yellow River section of Chenliu and the Jizhou River on the north bank of the Yellow River. In this way, whether it is military horses and materials, etc., they can be quickly exchanged.

Of course, now that Cao Cao ordered his Cao army to surrender, the world has been unified, and there is no need for frequent mobilization of military horses, materials and other goods, but it is equivalent to opening up a fast channel for trade and trade on the north and south banks of the Yellow River.

It is believed that if the local officials strictly implement the decrees, within two years, all localities will be able to quickly recover their vitality, and in another year or two, they will be able to enter a period of high-speed development.

As for Chen Liu, Xu Du and other Central Plains regions, although Liu Yi has always seen the situation in the territory of Cao Cao's forces from some intelligence, he did not see it intuitively, so Liu Yi first asked a group of courtiers to escort those officials of the old dynasty who had been screened to Xu Du. He invited Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Lu Zhi and other generals to inspect Chen Liucheng and the surrounding towns, mainly to personally understand and feel the real situation of the people in these areas under Cao Cao's rule.

Only by clearly understanding the real situation of the local people, it is possible for Liu Yifang to combine it with the government decree system of the New Han Dynasty according to their situation. Policies suitable for the production and development of the people in the Central Plains region should be formulated.

In fact, through the investigation of public sentiment, Liu Yifang knew that although he had defeated Cao Cao. But there's also an element of luck. I don't know if I don't investigate, but the people in the Chenliu area are quite loyal to Cao Cao and have a very high degree of recognition.

In the face of Liu Yi, many people in the Chenliu area frankly admitted that they were quite satisfied with their current life. I don't care too much about being ruled by Liu Yi or being ruled by Cao Cao.

Under Cao Cao's governance, the government and the officers and soldiers were almost able to do without disturbing the people. Many of the government's decrees imitated the decrees of the New Han Army to govern the people, so that the people did get a lot of tangible benefits. At least, the lives of the people. More or less guaranteed. It's much better than the time when the princes of the world were fighting. Government taxes, conscriptions, etc., were all within the scope of what the people could bear.

Even, many people, they were a little dissatisfied with the New Han Army coming to attack them, thinking that it was the New Han Army that broke the good life they had seen hope for and broke their tranquility. Of course, there are not too many people in this part, I guess. It was a child of their family who died in the battle with the New Han Army. That's why they have a little bit of hostility towards the New Han Dynasty. But. Most of the common people were able to understand some things and did not have much hostility to the rule of the New Han Dynasty.

After all, most of the people understand that no matter what, they are all Han Chinese, and Chen Liu and Luoyang seem to be not far apart, and the people between each other are not regionally specific, so whoever can treat them well will obey whose rule.

Moreover, most of the people can understand in their hearts that relatively speaking, the rule of the New Han Dynasty is indeed much more enlightened than that of Cao Cao, and the happiness of the people living in the area of the New Han Dynasty is much higher than that of the people under Cao Cao's rule.

The main reason should be that Cao Cao failed to be as thorough as the New Han Dynasty, and failed to really let all the people have their own fields. Cao Cao always had to rely on the support of the local noble families in various places, so it was impossible for him to deprive some landlords and nobles of their fertile land and distribute it to the poor people who had no land to cultivate, as the New Han Dynasty did. As a result, most of the people under Cao Operation's rule rented the landlord's land. The main reason why they feel that their lives are not bad for the time being is that Cao Cao ordered those local scholars to only levy land taxes on the people according to a certain proportion, and reduce it as much as possible, so that the people can have food and drink and a little surplus food.

If it is a clear-sighted people, a people with foresight, they will be worried about this, because they are afraid that the ruling order will change immediately, and they will not have their own land, and they will always be subject to the local nobles. In case one day, the local nobles do not obey Cao Cao's orders, or Cao Cao's power is difficult to coerce the local nobles, then it is possible that some decrees may be changed by the local nobles at will, and the most likely thing that worries the people is the problem of land rent and taxation. Because the field is not theirs, it is equivalent to the lifeblood in the hands of someone else. A good time does not mean that it is always good, and it does not mean that it is good from generation to generation.

And there are some old people who have lived for more than a year, and they are more insightful and understand the world, because they have experienced too much and have rich experience. Where they lived, I don't know how many successive magistrates they had to go through, some were honest and strict, some were corrupt and took bribes, and some were looted and extremely vicious. Anyway, there is a good time and a bad time, and it is always new and changeable, but they, the ordinary people, are always powerless to fight and resign themselves to fate.

Therefore, they yearn for the new Han Dynasty even more.

Of course, it is not appropriate for Liu Yi to copy the decrees and policies of the New Han Dynasty and implement them in the Central Plains, and there must be a compromise plan. The reason is that in recent years, under Cao Cao's governance, the local noble families have implemented the policies promulgated and implemented by Cao Cao, so that the class conflict between the people in these areas, the low-level people and the local noble families has been reduced to a minimum, and they can basically be temporarily balanced. Even, the simple people will have a certain affection and gratitude for those wealthy families from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, in ancient times, even during the Tang and Song dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties, if it was a period of peace and prosperity, ordinary people, as long as they could still live, would not have a hostile mentality towards those wealthy families, but would envy and respect, and everyone would be proud to be able to make friends or enter the wealthy families. Or take it as a target. This is similar in the postmodern era, when the general public can survive better. They will be even more envious of those wealthy families, want to make friends with wealthy people, want to enter wealthy families, and aim to become wealthy families.

If Liu Yi wants to crack down on those wealthy families at this time and deprive them of the inherent interests of the wealthy families to balance the gap between the rich and the poor, I am afraid it is not feasible. Fearing that the opposite would backfire, causing ordinary people to hate the New Han Dynasty along with those wealthy clans.

And so, after an investigation. He also consulted and discussed with a group of advisers. They all felt that for the Central Plains, the New Han Dynasty did not have to completely copy some government decrees and policies, but carried out certain local political reforms in a differentiated manner. Appropriate will be in the middle of the New Han Dynasty. Feasible strategy implementation. You can do some minor surgery, and you don't need to do it in a big way.

For example, it is necessary to publicize the basic national law of the Han Dynasty of the New Han Dynasty, and this must be implemented in every place. Then, clarify the responsibilities and obligations of the scholar family, so that they, the scholar family, must also bear a certain responsibility for the revitalization of the Han Dynasty. As a Han Chinese. Born in the Han Dynasty and living in the Han Dynasty, if you can't exert a certain amount of heat for the great governance and rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty. If they can't be an example for the Han people, then they are not worthy of being a wealthy family of the Han people, and they are not worthy of living in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, it is necessary to implement the policy of abolishing the slaves and private soldiers of the noble families, they can continue to hire slaves, they can continue to hire certain guardians, but these people are no longer the private slaves and slaves of their families. These policies are to be implemented by the entire Han Dynasty. No one is exempt, and this is a matter of human rights education.

Starting from this point, Liu Yi also believes that it will definitely not arouse the disgust of the general public, and believes that they will support the New Han Dynasty even more.

Such a situation has already been implemented in some areas by the New Han Dynasty, and good results have been achieved. Slowly, it weakened the prestige and deterrence of those wealthy families among the local people.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, Liu Yi does not want to completely suppress the wealthy families, after all, the development of society is impossible to put an end to the emergence of wealthy families, and sometimes, there must be a wealthy family as an example for the ordinary people and become the goal pursued by the public. If there is real social unity, it will certainly not be possible, and it will be a regression of humanity.

There must be classes, but there must be a good means of neutralization, so that they can coexist. Even if it is a person, although Liu Yi does not say it, in fact, invisibly, there will be people divided into three, six, nine and so on. Something, it will come naturally.

For example, if according to Liu Yi's idea, the whole world will belong to the Han people in the future, then the Han people will naturally be the most noble among the invisible, and those alien people who are attached to the Han Dynasty, even if they are completely sinicized, but unless they really forget their original tribal heritage, otherwise, the Huns are the Huns, the Wuhuan people are the Wuhuan people, and they live with the Han people after Sinicization, they are afraid that they will be inferior to the pure Han people. Of course, in thousands of years, this hierarchical boundary will slowly fade, but it will definitely not be now.

Captives and slaves will still exist, and Liu Yi will not deliberately abolish them. Of course, the lowest is definitely the Japanese people, needless to say.

Taking Chen Liucheng as an example, taking the urban areas around Chen Liucheng as an example, after formulating some political strategies suitable for implementation in these areas, Liu Yicai went to Xudu with a group of military generals and strategists.

Cao Cao's defenders in Xudu, after Cao Cao's order to surrender was delivered, they had already surrendered the city.

When Liu Yi and the others arrived in Xudu, Xudu City was already under the control of the New Han Army.

By this time, several days had passed.

Cao Cao and his generals, under the custody of the First Army of the New Han Army, escorted Emperor Xian to Luoyang and Kyoto.

The majestic Luoyang Kyoto, after many years, was once again displayed in front of Cao Cao's eyes. This familiar and unfamiliar Kyoto city made Cao Cao feel a lot.

Originally, Cao Cao felt a little proud that he had managed Xu Capital City so prosperously and majesticly. I always feel that I will not be worse than Liu Yi, at least, I feel that my Xu Capital City will definitely not be worse than Luoyang City run by Liu Yi. However, seeing it again now directly made him stunned.

Because if you don't say anything, just talk about its scale, it is no longer comparable to Xu Yi.

Luoyang City has been expanded, plus a more solid and majestic city wall, it is estimated that this expansion is half larger than the original Luoyang City. From a distance, a peripheral city wall, the middle of the original Luoyang city wall, and then the central area, is the city wall of the imperial palace. Layered and orderly. In the city, there are many pavilions, some tower-mounted buildings, up to more than 10 floors, it is estimated that when you reach the top of the tower, you can have a glimpse of the scenery of the whole city.

Of course, this is not counted, along the outer city wall, there are actually a lot of gardens, a series of bluestone broad avenues vertically and horizontally, connecting those gardens together, but also taking advantage of the majesty of the Luoyang city wall.

Looking at the west from a distance, that direction is the direction of the Xishan Military Academy, a big school field, which is the training point of the New Han Army, and that direction is also a building.

It turns out that Luoyang has changed so much, I don't know how many people this Luoyang capital accommodates? Cao Cao was really dumbfounded when he thought about it.

The general who escorted Cao Cao to Luoyang was Yan Liang. His injuries weren't completely healed, but nothing was wrong. Liu Yi deliberately sent him back to Luoyang, on the one hand, he stared at Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he also wanted him to recuperate.

"General Yan Liang, I don't know how many people there are in Luoyang now? Also, how could so many garden houses be built outside the city? In case an enemy kills Luoyang, what will happen to the people around Luoyang City? Shall they all go into the city? After Cao Cao was surprised, he asked Yan Liang, who was accompanied by his son.

There is a reason why Cao Cao asked this, because in his impression, Luoyang City, when it was most prosperous, was estimated to have a population of only about one million. Now, I'm afraid it's far more than a million, and his Xu Capital City is probably only about a million people, I would have thought it was very prosperous, but compared with Luoyang, it really can't be compared.

"In recent years, Yan is not in Luoyang, many buildings outside the city are newly built, and Yan is not very clear about the specific population situation. However, back then, the Dong thieves wanted to burn Luoyang, and captured the people within a radius of hundreds of miles from Luoyang, and wanted to be forced to move to Chang'an. At that time, when we stopped and rescued those people, there were millions of people, of course, not all of them were located in Luoyang, but scattered around Luoyang. Later, Luoyang developed, and more and more people from Zhao moved into Luoyang City, and it was expanded. During Yan's time in Luoyang, Luoyang City had a population of millions. Now, I'm afraid there will be more. ”

Yan Liang said roughly, then glanced at Cao Cao coldly and said, "Now the big man, who else can kill Luoyang?" Our city walls, in fact, can only be used for ornamental purposes. (To be continued.) )
