The Yingchuan area is one of the sources of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and many poor peasants have gone to participate in the Yellow Turban Uprising, so naturally many farmers have abandoned their fields and run away, and of course, there are some people who do not want to follow the Yellow Turban Army, these people are probably not much better, and most of them will leave their homes because of the war.

The reason is naturally very simple, although the Yellow Turban Army relies on bewitching the people to gather the righteous army, but behind the scenes, I am afraid that it is also catching strong men to fill the army, and the same is true for the official army, and the military disaster has forced many people to leave home, which has also formed a homeless people, and some homeless people may come back, but who knows which Gada nest they will run to, and I am afraid that there are very few people who come back.

After all, the war is to kill people, and the unlucky ones are those honest villagers, after this battle, the population of Yingchuan must be greatly reduced, which is also an inevitable situation, not to mention, the Yellow Turban Army is almost more than 100,000, these people Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun may not spare them, so this war will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in population.

Guo Jia can see it clearly, since the population has decreased sharply, then it is bound to make the fields barren, and the only way out is to appease the homeless people to cultivate, if you don't start early, I'm afraid you won't even be able to drink the soup in the future, Guo Jia thought for a moment, and then said to Meng Ge: "Meng Ge, according to what you say, we must be fast, go, call Shanbo, just say I have something to order!" ”

As soon as Uncle Shan heard that Guo Jia had something to discuss with him, he knew that the matter was clear, so he immediately rushed over, he knew that this young master was quick-witted, and he must have thought of a way.

Soon Meng Ge and Shanbo came to the study, Guo Jia wrote something on the paper, and when he saw Shanbo coming, he immediately said: "Shanbo, a few days ago, you went out to check, and I asked you if there were already homeless people in Yangzhai?" ”

Uncle Shan didn't know Guo Jia's intentions, but just said truthfully: "Hui Gongzi, that's right, there are indeed homeless people outside the city, but the number is still very small at the moment. ”

What Uncle Shan said was similar to Guo Jia's expectation, Guo Jia was happy at the moment, and immediately said: "That's good, now you go and appease the homeless people immediately, the specific method I have written here, just do it according to what is written on it, strive to gather the homeless people in the shortest possible time, and then let them live around the grange first, although it is the height of summer, but the night is still relatively cold, if there is a house in the grange that is abandoned, it doesn't hurt to live for a while." ”

"To appease the homeless, is the son saying that the land will be rented out again? But will the government approve of this? Son? As soon as Uncle Shan heard it, he understood what the young master was thinking, but there were many problems.

Without waiting for Guo Jia to explain, Meng Ge said: "Don't worry, Uncle Shan, at this time, the officials and masters of Yangzhai may not have time to come back, and they are still fleeing for their lives, even if they come back, I am afraid they don't have the heart to care, if Gongzi helps them solve these people, it must be too late to be happy, where will the Gongzi be blamed for many things, and besides, it is a good thing to appease the displaced people is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is too late for them to praise them, maybe the future Gongzi can also be filial piety because of this." ”

"That's right, just do what I wrote!" Guo Jia nodded, this matter should not be delayed, although this family has died a lot in this battle, it has been a big injury, but these families have a deep heritage, although the loss is great, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, give them a period of time to recover their vitality, then they can't fight them in the future.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Guo Jia will ask Shanbo to do this immediately, and there is a more sinister idea, that is, as Meng Ge said, Guo Jia is not a good person, maybe this move can make some families fall from now on.

However, when Uncle Shan saw the strategies written by Guo Jia to appease the homeless, he immediately shook his head, and immediately said: "Childe, are these conditions you said too generous, only ten taxes and one land rent, our field rent has not been so low in the past, and if necessary, we can also provide seeds to them, this is really ......."

Before Shanbo finished speaking, Guo Jia said: "Shanbo just do it, maybe you may not understand, but Gongzi, I naturally have my reasons for doing this, this time our loss is not small, if we want to avoid greater losses, we can only quickly resume production, now it is only May, if we can gather the displaced people as quickly as possible, then it is possible to plant another season of corn and wheat, then the loss must not be so big, Shanbo just do it, if there is a problem, then find a few more people to help, These people can also choose some literate among the displaced people, and you can just look at the specific Shanbo! ”

Meng Ge, who was standing on the side, glanced at the method written on the paper, and admired it more and more, this guy is worthy of being a genius, his talent is quite agile, and it is not easy to come up with such a plan in a short period of time, and in Meng Ge's opinion, this plan has been basically perfect, for example, the tax rate of ten taxes and one, this alone can attract most of the displaced people, although the Han Dynasty is ostensibly implementing fifteen taxes and one one, but this has never fallen on the head of the village, and the landlord collects far more land rent than this number, Some may be able to reach the terrible point of two taxes and one, or even three taxes and two.

Guo Jia proposed to implement a land rent of ten taxes and one for the villagers, I am afraid that those homeless people will fight for it, and this alone can see Guo Jia's amazing decision-making ability, but not everyone has the courage to dare to make such a determination, of course, it is not only this one.

In addition to this article, Guo Jia listed a total of three strategies, the second is about the lease of seed cattle, although there are no ploughing cattle in the house now, but Guo Jia wrote on it, let Shanbo buy back a few ploughing cattle, of course, the more horses, the better, of course, but also do what you can, and hand it over to the dealer to use in turn after buying it back.

The third is the solution of housing, the displaced people who have no place to live can live in the grange first, and the Guo government will also help build houses to solve the housing problem, of course, if there is no rations, they can also borrow some rations from the government to tide over the difficulties temporarily.

If such a generous treatment could not attract the displaced people, it would be unreasonable, and Meng Ge felt that what Shanbo should consider now was to try to buy more land and come back, maybe it would not take two years for this Guo Mansion to become one of the largest landowners in Yangzhai.

It's just that the risk of doing everything is not small, Meng Ge roughly knows the direction of history, of course he knows that there will be a period of stability after the Yellow Turban Uprising, but the problem is that Guo Jia definitely doesn't know, at most he has a certain prediction of the situation, if Guo Jia is unexpected, the Yellow Turban Army will resurgence again, I'm afraid this will have to be wasted, the consequences are not a joke, at this time the people who dare to immediately start appeasing the displaced people are definitely brave enough, not only that, but this can also win a good reputation, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Since Guo Jia said so, Shanbo has no opinion, he must have his thoughts when he wants to come to Gongzi to do this, although there will be certain losses, but it can also recover a lot of losses, and there is no other way at the moment, Shanbo has to do what Guo Jia said.

After Shanbo left, Guo Jia fell into contemplation again, Meng Ge's head was spinning, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the study suddenly fell silent, no one knew what the other party was thinking.

On the other hand, after Bocai was completely defeated by Huangfu Song, the Han official army began to suppress the surrounding Yellow Turban Uprising and continued to march towards Runan, and the Yellow Turban Uprising, which was originally in the limelight, was losing step by step.

But Bo Cai didn't die, Peng Tuo didn't die, even Liu Gan didn't die, although they experienced a big defeat in Changshe, but they survived, although they were embarrassed, they survived, but the others were not so lucky, many people died, and the dead were afraid of tens of thousands.

Today's Liu Gan has long lost the vigor of a few months ago, a cloth armor has long been tattered, his hair is scattered, his face is tired, and Bocai is not much better, Huangfu Song's counterattack made him suffer a big loss, and then he was defeated again and again, and now there are 2,000 people left in the team, a few months ago, but no less than 50,000 troops were gathered, but I didn't expect it to change overnight, the dead and the fleeing, the mighty army in the past, became the remnants of the defeated army in the blink of an eye.

Looking at these demoralized soldiers, Bocai felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do at the moment, and suddenly the guards came in a hurry and shouted loudly: "Bocai is handsome, Bocai is handsome, the officers and soldiers are not continuing to chase, we are safe!" ”

"It's safe!" The Yellow Turban soldiers who originally lowered their heads raised their heads one after another, looked at the robes around them incredibly, and kept running for their lives, this time they were finally safe, and the dejected Yellow Turban soldiers all showed joy on their faces.

Only Bo Cai frowned, after many failures, Bo Cai became more and more cautious, hearing that the official army had stopped pursuing, but he didn't dare to be careless in his heart, and immediately waved his hand.

"Probe!"

The soldier who gave the order was stunned at first, but immediately responded: "Yes! ”

"Dashuai, why is that?" Peng looked at Bo Cai puzzled, he didn't understand this order, he had already detected the retreat of the official army, why did he want to probe again.

Bo Cai looked at Peng Tuo and explained lightly: "Without him, the officers and soldiers will not let us go easily, if it is a plan to lure the enemy, once we are exposed, I am afraid that we will die and have no place to be buried, so we must not be careless." ”

Hearing Bo Cai's words, Peng Tuo suddenly felt Ling Ran in his heart, they did not have the calculations of the officials and soldiers in this mountain, and now he is also afraid of calculations, for fear that the officials and soldiers will have another fire, and the consequences are unimaginable, I am afraid that these three thousand people will have to explain here.

Not long after, the scout came to report again, and there was no trace of the enemy army within ten miles, but only the trace of the enemy scout, Bocai's face instantly turned cold, and his ass could no longer sit still, so he immediately stood up and kept walking around in front of everyone.

Now that the enemy scouts have been spotted, it means that the enemy is likely to be around here, waiting for their tracks to be exposed, and Bo is lost in thought, not knowing what to do now.

The rest of the Yellow Turban generals also understand the meaning of each, the appearance of the enemy scouts made them feel bad, the appearance of scouts at this time shows that they have given up the pursuit, only because they have not found a trace, so they will stagnate, this time is very dangerous, whether it is Bo Cai or Peng Tuo dare not be careless, once careless, maybe they will die without a place to be buried.

After thinking for a long time, Bo Cai had to sigh: "It seems that we can only continue to hide in the mountains, otherwise we are likely to face the strangulation of the officers and soldiers again, at the moment our army is only 3,000 soldiers, and it is impossible to reach the large army of the officers and soldiers. ”

This is very true, if it weren't for the terrain of the mountains and forests being too complicated, Bo Cai would have been awarded the head a long time ago, thanks to Liu Gan's strategy, he came up with this method, not only that, but he also proposed to strangle the enemy scouts, and then throw the scouts' corpses somewhere else, so as to mislead the enemy troops, so as not to let the enemy find traces.

This method really worked after a try, and the officers and soldiers failed to find any traces of the army for a few days, turning around like headless flies, which gave the Yellow Turban Army a chance to breathe, but now the officers and soldiers seem to be ruthless, and they still pursue this wave of talented troops unrelentingly, without the slightest intention of retreating.

Peng Tuo is also very helpless, now there are only 3,000 people left, and he must not be able to fight, only there is some hope for running, and it is understandable for Bo Cai to say so, but he gave up so easily, he was really a little unwilling.

Looking at the depressed soldiers, Bo Cai said slowly: "Without further ado, let's set off immediately and go to Niutou Mountain, what do you think?" ”

Liu Qian sighed and said with a depressed expression: "Hey, that's all, Dashuai, let's go!" Otherwise, it will not be good if the enemy army comes! ”

Everyone present nodded their heads, so that no one had any objections, Bo Cai led the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers to escape into the mountains, except for a few sentry guards, all of them gathered on the Niutou Mountain defense line, at this time Bo Cai's army gradually moved away from Yang Zhai and withdrew from the ranks of the uprising.

"Report! General, no trace of the thief army was found! ”

Before the trace was found, Cao Ying's face suddenly turned pale, and he coldly spit out two words: "Explore again!" ”

Cao Ren, who was standing on the side, said: "Meng De, calm down, the thief army has escaped into the mountains and forests, and it is difficult for us to find its main force, you see......"

After being tricked by those Yellow Turban thieves a few times in the past few days, Cao Ying was full of anger and had nowhere to go, and immediately shouted: "Zixiao, do you say that they are so cheap, you dare to play with me, see if I don't destroy them!" ”

Under the yell, Cao Ying's spit flew sideways, Cao Ren couldn't avoid it, and was sprayed with spittle, so he had to say helplessly: "Meng De, with all due respect, you really can't destroy them now, even our army has lost more than ten scouts, you see?" ”

Cao Ying's face became darker and darker, he didn't know about these situations, but he was unwilling to fail like this, so he had to order the whole army to retreat with a black face......
