After a long time, Yuan Wei finally came back to his senses.

Looking back blankly, I saw a light boat swinging out of the dense reeds in the deep water of the swamp, and I saw several strong men standing on the light boat.

The strong man in front of him was particularly majestic.

At this time, it was already twilight, and Yuan Wei couldn't see what the strong man looked like with all his eyesight, but faintly saw that the strong man seemed to be wearing a brocade robe, and there seemed to be a pheasant feather on his head.

But it was obviously this man who saved his life just now, because he still had a longbow in his hand.

Yuan Yaoyao clasped his fists and shouted to the man: "Thank you for the grace of the strong man's life, and I hope to give you a great name." ”

The strong man laughed and said, "Why don't you want to repay your kindness, but you leave your name?" However, I still have to advise you, in the future, you should come to this kind of deep swamp and swamp less, and the next time you encounter a giant python, no one will come to save you. ”

After speaking, the strong man waved his hand lightly, shouted again, and the light boat under his feet shot into the reeds like an arrow, and faintly, Yuan Fu seemed to hear a bell ringing softly.

Until Ye Qingzhou walked for a long time, Yuan Wei was still standing there stunned.

After another moment, the neighing of horses and people finally came from the direction of coming, but it was Zhang Niu Calf who came with fifty fine horses.

Seeing Yuan Nuo standing in Daze soaked, but the mount under his crotch did not know where to go, but beside Yuan Nuo, there was a giant python the thickness of a clay pot curled up, and Zhang Niucalf and the fifty sergeants accompanying him were so shocked that their faces turned white.

"Childe, Childe, are you okay?" Zhang Niucal asked tremblingly, asking nonsense at all.

Yuan Wei didn't bother to blame Zhang Niucal, but just ordered: "Bring this python back and stew soup for the soldiers." ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Nuo rode on the mount that Zhang Niu Calf gave him, and rode his horse away, Zhang Niu Calf quickly led forty horsemen to chase after Yuan Nuo to protect Yuan Nuo, and then ordered the remaining ten horsemen to find a way to bring the giant python back to Juchao City.

This time, there were no accidents on the road, and I returned to Juchao City smoothly.

Hearing that Yuan Wei had returned to the city, Jin Shang and Yan Xiang hurriedly came over to inquire about the results.

However, seeing Yuan No's face, Jin Shang and Yan Xiang knew that Yuan No's trip was not going well.

Yuan Wei ignored Jin Shang and Yan Xiang, and ate the wild vegetable porridge that Xiao Ruoliu cooked for him.

The two big bowls of hot wild vegetable porridge fell into his stomach, and Yuan Fu's mood was better, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to Jin Shang and Yan Xiang: "Yuan Xiugong, Brother Ziyin, Fan is unwilling to borrow it." ”

Jin Shang persuaded: "If you don't borrow, don't borrow, don't care too much about the son." ”

Yan Xiang also said: "What Yuan Xiugong said is very true, the Fan family doesn't borrow, let's find someone else." ”

Yuan Wei sighed and said helplessly: "Brother Ziyin, you don't need to look for other families." ”

After speaking, Yuan Wei told Sun Ce about building water conservancy in Chaohu Lake, enclosing the lake to build fields, and selling the newly built paddy fields to the Lujiang Shi clan at a price lower than the market price.

Jin is not good at internal affairs, and he has not tasted anything.

Yan Xiang was a talented person who was good at internal affairs, and he immediately heard the subtlety of it, and sighed: "Who came up with this method of tuntian?" First to the displaced people to make land, and then the good paddy field sold to the Lujiang scholars, and the purchase of land, can only be compensated by farm tools, cattle and seeds as the price, so that Tuntian, Anmin, thousands of acres of fertile land at your fingertips, but also to please the Lujiang scholars, wonderful, this method is very wonderful, very wonderful! ”

Yuan said: "Ziyin, what's so good about this method?" ”

Yan Xiang said: "Childe, let me state a fact to you, and you will know where the magic of this method is." ”

After sorting out the wording, Yan Xiang said again: "Here's the thing, before the implementation of tuntian, Sun Ce had neither grain, nor farm tools and cattle, naturally there would be no 10,000 hectares of fertile land, and there were still hundreds of thousands of displaced people to be resettled, if you take these hundreds of thousands of displaced people back to Jiangdong, the treasury of the four counties of Jiangdong will be dragged down, yes or no?" ”

Yuan Wei and Jin Shang nodded in agreement, the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of displaced people is indeed not a trivial matter.

Yan Xiang said again: "Then what about after the implementation of Tuntian? Sun Ce only needs to feed the displaced people for half a month, and after the lake fields are built, he can obtain a steady stream of grain, farm tools and ploughing cattle from the Jiangdong scholars by selling the first batch of lake fields, so that he can properly resettle hundreds of thousands of displaced people without using a penny or grain from the Jiangdong treasury, in addition to tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land for nothing, and even sell the fields at a low price to please the Jiangdong scholars! ”

Yuan Fu's eyes lit up and asked, "Is this method really so good?" ”

Yan Xiang sighed: "Childe, this is not the most powerful, the most powerful thing is that with these tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land along the Chaohu Lake, and hundreds of thousands of Huainan displaced people as tenant farmers, in the next few years, the Sun family will be able to get millions of stone of grain every year, and after that, there will be no shortage of military food in Jiangbei and even in the Central Plains of Beitu!" ”

Yuan No and Jin Shang couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

Jin Shang frowned and said, "Ziyin, if you want to implement this Tuntian method, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" ”

"Admittedly, it's not easy." Yan Xiang nodded and said, "This method is completely different from ordinary tuntian, in addition to requiring one capable official to lead the overall situation, it also needs to be supplemented by a large number of small officials, otherwise it is not enough to straighten out the situation at all." ”

Yuan Fu's focus was different, and he asked Yan Xiangdao: "Ziyin, can we follow this method?" ”

Yan Xiang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Childe, please forgive me for being blunt, I'm afraid we won't be able to follow suit." ”

Yuan Wei frowned, and said in disbelief: "Chaohu Lake has fertile fields, Juchao also has fertile fields, Sun Ce has displaced people, and we also have a large number of displaced people in Juchao, why can Sun Ce practice this method of tuntian, but we can't?" ”

Yan Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "Childe, the reason why this method cannot be imitated is because the Jiangdong Shi clan believes in the Sun clan and is willing to take out farming cattle, farm tools and grain to Chaohu Lake to buy fields, and if Gongzi is building fields in Juchao, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, I am afraid that few scholars dare to ask Gongzi to buy fields, as for the reason, Gongzi must be clear." ”

Although Yan Xiang didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was already obvious.

The reason why the Jiangdong scholars are willing to go to Chaohu to buy land is because they have the willingness to buy land, and the main reason is that they believe in the Sun family and think that the land bought from the Sun family can be passed on to their descendants, but few people in the Yuan family are optimistic, in case the Yuan family is driven out of the Lujiang River by the Sun family, the land they bought from Yuan Wei will also be lost.

Speaking of which, it is still because the general trend of the Sun clan sweeping Jiangdong has been completed, and the Jiangdong clan is unwilling to move against the trend.

"Is it really impossible to emulate? But so-and-so didn't believe it. Yuan No didn't believe in evil, and said with a sneer, "Iron Man Wang Jinxi said, if there are conditions, you have to go up, and if you don't have conditions to create conditions, you don't believe it, the same thing, he Sun Ce can do it, but I Yuan No can't do it!" ”

Jin Shang and Yan Xiang looked at each other, who is the iron man Wang Jinxi?

Wang Jinxi? There doesn't seem to be this number in the ancient sages?

Yan Xiang asked, "Childe, do you really want to emulate this Tuntian method?" ”

Yuan Wei said: "How can a certain person be a man who is open-mouthed, and he still hopes that Ziyin will lead the overall situation for a certain general." ”

"If the son really wants to implement this method of tuntian, he should follow the work of dogs and horses." Yan Xiangchang shook his head to the ground and said, "But the most difficult part of this method is the first half a month, during this time, Xintian has not been reclaimed well, and the large number of displaced people recruited need to be fed, and they have to be fed, please forgive me, just rely on the three thousand stone grain borrowed by Yuan Xiugong from Qiao's family, I am afraid it is far from enough, according to 20,000 displaced people, it will take at least 10,000 stone for half a month." ”

Yuan Wei silently calculated, 10,000 stone is about 270,000 catties in later generations, and according to the calculation of 20,000 homeless people for half a month, each homeless person can only get one catty a day.

Ten thousand stones of grain is nothing to Sun Ce, and even Liu Xun can take it out.

But for the current Yuan No, 10,000 stone of grain is really an astronomical amount.

However, Yuan Wei was not a person who could be intimidated by difficulties, he said to Yan Xiang: "Ziyin, you just have to select people, first go to recruit the homeless, the rations of the homeless, come and find a way!" ”

"No." Yan Xiang waved his way and took the order.

Seeing Yan Xiang's figure go away, Jin Shang said worriedly: "Childe, do you really want to implement this law?" ”

Yuan asked Jin Shang rhetorically: "Yuan Xiugong, apart from this method, is there any other way to alleviate the dilemma of lack of military food?" Is there any other way to gain the support of the Lujiang clan? ”

Jin Shang said: "Childe, the old minister is afraid that the homeless people are recruited, but the food cannot be borrowed, and at that time there will be a dilemma, leaving the homeless people without food to eat, and the scattered homeless people will lose their trust in the world?" ”

Yuan Wei smiled and said: "Yuan Xiugong can rest assured, he will borrow grain." ”

Jin Shang sighed and asked, "Isn't the son already having a plan?" ”

"Exactly." Yuan Wei smiled slightly, and said to Jin Shang, "I'm afraid that this matter of borrowing grain will have to fall on Qiao's head, so Yuan Xiugong, you still have to work for your big driver, and go to Wancheng with a certain tomorrow." ”

"Joe's?" Jin Shang smiled bitterly, "Childe, I'm afraid this trip is going to disappoint you." ”

"Disappointed?" Yuan Wei smiled and said, "Hehe, no, definitely not." ”
