First update! Ask for collections, ask for recommendations!

But Huo Yi knew that this part of the population was not something that he could move lightly now, although he was currently very valued by the lord Liu Bei, and even arranged his future heir to his side to follow him to experience and grow.

But Huo Yi knew that Liu Bei really controlled Jingyi Erzhou, relying on nothing else.

Huo Yi is apprehensive, in charge of a county affairs has high requirements for a person's comprehensive quality, although Wuling is sparsely populated, but the composition is very complex, a large number of Nanban makes himself a headache, Wuling County Han people are not more than 10,000 households, more than 60,000 people. But judging from his last contact with Nanban, the largest Wuxi clan can easily mobilize more than 30,000 capable warriors, and it is conservatively estimated that the population of the Wuxi clan is more than 100,000.

At this time, Wuxi swallowed Youxi again, and its strength increased greatly, in addition to these two branches, there were Xiongxi, Zhangxi, and Chenxi who were equal to Wuxi's strength. From this point of view, the population of Wuling County still exists, but most of them are barbarians, and a small number are Han people, so the development of Wuling County is still quite backward.

Could it be that as soon as he takes office, he has to take the barbarian tribes?

Wuling Wuling, with such a sparse population, how can you let yourself show your strength? The barbarian matter is complicated, and the grievances of various ethnic groups are entangled, and if he starts to cut with Wuxi as soon as he takes office, it will inevitably cause chaos!

Since Huo Yi took office, he has done almost nothing except to select the county soldiers, and the grain taxes produced by the population reported by the counties are only enough to maintain the use of the county soldiers recruited by Huo Yi now, and where will the money and grain come from to run the huge county mechanism?

Wuling! Huo Yi racked his brains to think about all the memories of Wuling in his previous life. It seemed that God was looking after Huo Yi's hard thoughts, and he felt his helplessness, and a flash of inspiration flashed in Huo Yi's head. This is still a text that Huo Yi memorized when he was in middle school: "In the Taiyuan Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty, the people of Wuling fished for their business, traveled by the stream, and forgot the distance of the road......"

Yes, this is Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", which tells the story of a fisherman who got lost and went to an unknown place, isolated from the world, and the people living inside entered the mountains and forests to escape the war.

Hiding from the war, although this is a matter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but it knocked on a door for Huo Yi, when he camped in the valley, he also found the corpse of Man Gu in a valley, and the local people just used this valley as a hiding place, so didn't the people move to the desperate valley in order to permanently escape the war?

Wuling County is mountainous and watery, with rugged roads and a huge mountainous area, and it is difficult to count the population if refugees enter it.

Huo Yi gathered more than 1,000 county soldiers, all of whom were children of the Zhongshan District of Wuling County, who were accustomed to trekking through mountains and rivers, and were very familiar with some mountainous areas in the Wuling area.

Deng Ai led these thousand county soldiers, focusing on inspecting the mountainous areas of the Han people's activity area in Wuling County, to find out if any Han people had entered the mountains to live in seclusion. In fact, finding a recluse can often involve a lot of people, the Han Dynasty people are heavy on clans, people who belong to the same clan often like to live in groups, and even the movement migration is based on the clan.

For example, Deng Ai's clan is an example.

Deng Ai knew that population was important to a regime or a separatist force, and that Wuling County was vast and sparsely populated, and the land that had not been cultivated for many years was very fertile, and if people could be found to move to these sparsely populated areas, it would often be able to make a place prosper rapidly in a short period of time.

Second, Deng Ai took this thousand county soldiers to the mountainous area of fifty miles west of Linyuan City, this mountainous area is one of the largest mountainous areas in Wuling County, many county soldiers used to fish and hunt in this mountain to make a living, in order to choose this mountainous area, one is familiar with the terrain, the other is closer to Linyuan City, but the supply is very convenient.

Huo Yi watched Deng Ai's men and horses enter these mountains, and he did so with the mentality of taking a gamble, although many scholars and experts in later generations raised doubts about the population recorded in the existing historical records when they studied the population of the Three Kingdoms, and also put forward some statements about the concealment of the population.

But although it is said that the fact that the scholars are hiding their private affairs and the fact that the guests are attached to them is already a fact that he has seen, but hiding in seclusion in the deep mountains and Daze is something that Huo Yi can't affirm, and he only guesses based on Tao Yuanming's article that I don't know if it's apocryphal.

The training of the Wuling county soldiers was very hard, unlike the five hundred elites trained by Huo Yi at that time, these county soldiers had almost no military literacy, and there were many mountain people and villagers, and it was difficult to order neatly, but these were minor problems.

As mentioned earlier, Dong Yun and Fei Yi, who had just arrived in Linyuan from Zhijiang, had already devoted themselves to the management and rectification of various political affairs in Wuling County. The two were shocked to find that the financial situation of Wuling County had reached a state of exhaustion.

Huo Yi had a headache, his major in his previous life was the economic history of the Three Kingdoms, now it seems that theory is higher than practice, a typical eye master is low, although he has a high attainment in theory, but he really found that what he has learned is not consistent with the actual situation, and the most critical Wuling County, the population is too small, no matter what kind of economic production, people are needed to complete.

At this moment, Huo Yi is really powerless, and there seems to be only one thing he can do: reduce taxes and taxes, and do nothing.

When the people are suffering from huge losses due to the war, I am afraid that there is only one way to go.

But Huo Yi knew that he didn't have much time, and he needed to integrate all the forces of Wuling County in a short period of time to make the strength in his hands more substantial. Otherwise, with a war, who will give you time to produce steadily?

Fighting hard is a way you must go!

Admittedly, this road is not easy to follow, he needs to exploit the people, and the taxes are very heavy.

Everything can only be Deng Ai's search results in the western mountains, and all he can do now is to slowly train the county soldiers that he has mastered. But what can 3,000 people do in the fierce battle that follows?

In all fairness, Huo Yi admired Guan Gong's bearing very much, but he was stubborn and self-serving, and it was not impossible to call him a "single husband", which also established the style of his army, brave and durable, and Cao Ren in the north used patience to drag down the elite of Jingzhou led by the arrogant Guan Yu.

In addition, when his army heard that Jingzhou was occupied by the Wu army, the soldiers had no intention of fighting for a while, so they were defeated, and Guan Yunchang was heroic, and he also fell in this war that made future generations suffocate.

Some people say that he deserves to die, some people say that he is a pity, in Huo Yi's view, Guan Yu is undoubtedly a banner for his own forces, and his fall is a suppression of the morale of his own forces.

Of course, Huo Yi didn't want such a thing to happen, but Guan Yu, who couldn't listen to anyone's words, could he change his fate in this life and reverse the decline of the late Shu Kingdom? According to the current situation, it is really difficult to do this by yourself.
