As Cao Cāo and others had guessed, Liu Xiu was indeed plundering the wealth of the powerful people in Jizhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoHebei has always been a place where the wealth of the world gathers, and Emperor Guangwu won the world with the strength of Hebei. The foundation of the heroes of Jizhou is no worse than that of Yanyu, Qingxu and Xu. In order to avoid making sandwich rice like Yuzhou, he decided to solve this most difficult problem before solving Yecheng.

The powerful are unwilling to surrender easily for their own interests, and want to save their family business, which is exactly what he wants. No drop? That's great, if you don't surrender, you're the enemy, and I'm just eating the enemy. The distribution of the loot is mine, as long as I rob it, I can distribute it as I want. As for you, just stay in Yecheng and watch.

So Liu Xiu didn't want them to surrender at all from the bottom of his heart, and if they surrendered, things would be difficult to do, just like the current situation in Yuzhou, he had to pull down his face to emigrate, and he also aroused a lot of opposition. How good is this, I can smoothly dispose of all the land outside of Yecheng, and then talk to you about besieging the city or surrendering.

With this idea in mind, Liu Xiu called the generals to arrange the task. After the destruction of Yuan Shao's army, the remaining main forces of Yuan's army are basically in Yecheng, and the other counties have limited troops, and there are only a few cities that are really a little difficult, such as gall pottery and the like. Our task now is not to storm the city, but to divide the land.

"There are about hundreds of people in each county, but there are no more than 1,000 people, so after the army is divided into departments, the captain is the leader, and each person is responsible for a county. Don't attack the city, just watch the defenders. Just don't let them out of town. Then the people of each county were gathered together, and all the grain was gathered up, and then the land was re-measured. to those who are willing to submit. ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "Of course, if you want to get the land, you have to pay for labor first." These things are things like harvesting. You can leave it to them to do it. I'm sure they'll work very hard. ”

The generals laughed and were overjoyed. There is a lot of land in Jizhou, but the situation of land annexation is also very serious, there are very few real Ziyou people, most of them have become vassals of the powerful people, all the harvest on the ground has nothing to do with them, what they can hope for is a mouthful of food. If someone is willing to give them the land. They can do anything.

"Everyone should know that we have been able to get to where we are today because our roots are deeper and deeper, so that we can stand firmer." Liu Xiu glanced around, and finally his gaze fell on the faces of Gao Ran and Fu Zhi and other generals, "I believe that some people still can't fully understand my thoughts now. But it doesn't matter, time will tell. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. ”

Fu Zhu lowered his head a little embarrassed, he really couldn't understand what Liu Xiu said. As soon as he thought of surrendering, he would be deprived of his land. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, although Liu Xiu made some concessions to these generals and did not rob them of their land, compared to those who were still in Yecheng, they were somewhat lucky. But after all, this is cutting meat from one's own body, who can say that it doesn't hurt?

"What is practice? Quite simply, the states and counties that have implemented the New Deal are the practice, and their current situation is the best proof of this. Liu Xiu said unhurriedly: "Jizhou is the last state to implement the new policy, but Jizhou has a deep heritage, I believe that Jizhou will soon be the latecomer, just like Yizhou and Jingzhou, within two or three years, it will become a rich land of the Han Dynasty again." ”

Liu Xiu laughed, and said to Lu Bu and other generals from the state: "It's pitiful to merge the state, although it is the place where the Han Dynasty first implemented the new policy, and once became a big tax payer, but after all, the natural conditions are not good, and the top few positions are not yet hot, and they are about to be at the bottom again." ”

"Hahaha......" the generals laughed. Lu Bu stood up and arched his hand solemnly: "What the king said is very true. Lu Bu is not talented, trusted by the imperial court, has been a Shuo Fang Taishou for a few years, and knows the lives of some people. Although the people of Shuofang can be fed and clothed now, compared with a strong state like Jingyi, it is too shabby. The last general dared to ask the king to reduce or exempt the taxes of the people of Shuofang, anyway, the grain of the imperial court increased, and it became fatter and fatter like a cow, and it was not bad for Shuofang's cold hair. ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh again. Liu Xiu couldn't help but laugh and said: "I can't see that Lu Fengxian is still a good official who loves the people like a son, no wonder someone even goes out to rob and has someone to help you say good things." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, ashamed, ashamed." Lu Bu touched his head awkwardly and shrank back.

The generals talked and laughed, and took Lu Bu to make fun of it. Fu Zhi and Gao Ran glanced at each other, but they were secretly frightened. The reason why Yuan Shao will implement the new policy in Jizhou is because he has seen the amazing speed of development after the implementation of the new policy in Jizhou. They can't see other places, they don't know what Yizhou and Jingzhou are like, they only know that they are merging states. Now I heard that the state is not prominent, even if it has the advantage of being the first mover, it is not as rich and strong as Jingyi and other states, and I can't help but secretly feel suspicious.

What would it be like to be stronger than the state? The two sides are at war, the borders are blocked, and although some businessmen with good hands and eyes are able to cross the border to do business, after all, they are still a minority. All they could imagine was the speed at which Liu Xiu replenished the military rations during the Yanzhou War last year, and it only took more than half a month, and the mobilization of the northern counties of Jingzhou alone solved the problem of military rations, which shows the strength of Jingzhou. You must know that Jingzhou had only just implemented the new policy for less than a year.

If Jingzhou can be like this, why can't Jizhou, which has comprehensive conditions no less than Jingzhou? Frustrated with some emotion.

Liu Xiu stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the lively tent suddenly quieted down, and everyone's excitement had not passed, and they all looked at Liu Xiu eagerly.

"I know that there are some things that are hard to imagine without experiencing them firsthand. However, fortunately, it was not just when the new policy was implemented in the merged states, and there was no precedent to follow, and now several states in the world are implementing the new policy, and the results are obvious to all. If anyone is interested in having a trip, I'm very supportive. Zifu, are you interested? ”

Frustrated for a moment, he quickly stood up. "I would like to listen to the general."

"Okay, I'll take you a trip. First go to Luoyang to get the decree, and then go to Yizhou to transfer Yizhou to assassinate Li Ru to Jizhou, and I will write to the imperial court. It was requested that Li Ru be transferred to Jizhou Assassin Shi, and he would preside over the implementation of Jizhou's new policy. After you finish sending the order, you can go back to Jizhou with Li Ru. You can also travel on your own and see in Yizhou and Jingzhou. ”

Frustrated, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu saw his doubts, which was not a problem, but Liu Xiu's solution to his doubts surprised him: Liu Xiu asked him to see for himself.

Facing Liu Xiu's confident gaze, most of the worry in his heart suddenly disappeared. Although he hasn't seen how rich Jingzhou and Yizhou are, since Liu Xiu dared to let him see it, it means that it is indeed good. And not just lip service.

"Whoa." Frustrated, he bowed down to receive the order, and his face suddenly became relaxed.

"Zifu is a rare talent, I believe you will judge with your own eyes." Liu Xiu smiled faintly, waved his hand to signal that he would return to his seat, and then turned his head to Zhang Yan and said, "Dashuai, your Yellow Turban started an incident in Jizhou, and it was once supported by hundreds of people. I believe that today's arrangement of land distribution in Jizhou will be a scene that the great sages and good teachers are willing to see in the spirit of heaven, and it is also a day that countless Yellow Turban soldiers are eager for. ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly got up and saluted. She has not yet been appointed by the imperial court, and as the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, she sits with the generals of the imperial court. It's a bit out of place. However, hearing Liu Xiu's words, the excitement in her heart suddenly covered up all the restraint and uneasiness.

"You immediately contact the Yellow Turban in Qingxu and ask them to assist you in land distribution in Jizhou, so that they will not be confused when they do the same in Qingxu in the future. In this matter, please take more responsibility, send more people who do things and are fair to rush to the counties to take responsibility, and make sure that everyone is satisfied, this is a great opportunity for you to preach again. ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Yan replied loudly, her body straight. Yang Feng and other Yellow Turban generals behind her heard this, and their eyes moistened with excitement. From the time Zhang Jiao began to preach, their dream was that the cultivator had his land, and Zhang Jiao died in battle, but Zhang Jiao's dream came true, and it was Zhang Jiao's former enemy who helped them realize their dream.

Not only that, Liu Xiu also had to let the Taiping Dao re-preach and compete with the Heavenly Master Dao. You must know that after the Yellow Turban Uprising, Taiping Dao has become a cult suppressed by the imperial court, and the Heavenly Master Dao, with the support of Liu Xiu, has become popular in the north and south of the river and has become a righteous path with the support of the imperial court. The two are not the same. For the Taiping Dao believers who once did not put the Heavenly Master Tao in their eyes, this mood can be imagined. Now that Liu Xiu wants to support Taiping Dao and give them such a good opportunity, it is really a great gift. If they don't seize this opportunity, how will they face the heroic spirits of Taiping Dao sages such as Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ming in the future?

"Please rest assured, the king, I, Zhang Yan, swear here that I will make all the people grateful and not have a trace of resentment." Zhang Yan knelt on one leg and said solemnly: "I wish to represent Jizhou Li Shu and thank the king." ”

Yang Feng and others attended, knelt down behind Zhang Yan, and shouted in unison: "I wish to represent Jizhou Li Shu and thank the king." ”

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, got up and left the table, helped Zhang Yan and the others up, and looked around: "Everyone, you don't need to thank me for this. It is the responsibility of officials to let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, the cultivators have their fields, the weavers have their clothes, the little are supported, and the old are dependent, which is the responsibility of the officials, not any grace. Just like the soldiers of our Han army, if they can't protect the people thoroughly, they are not worthy of being called children's soldiers, and if they can't love the people like sons and benefit the people, how can they be called parents officials? ”

Frustrated, he suddenly felt like a lightning bolt in his mind, and a new world slowly unfolded in front of his eyes. He somewhat understood the difference between Liu Xiu and Yuan Shao, and he somewhat understood why Liu Xiu said that the reason why he was able to defeat Yuan Shao and take the whole world was because his roots were deeper and broader than Yuan Shao.

Yes, Yuan Shao's foundation is the world's Shi clan, while Liu Xiu's foundation is the world's Li Shu. The Yuan family got the hearts of scholars, but Liu Xiu got more than just scholars, he paid more attention to those ordinary people. The new policy he implemented was not to exploit the powerful and powerful, but to exchange the profits of industry and commerce for the land on which the common people depended for their survival. Land is the foundation of the people's survival, and the people with land have become the foundation of Liu Xiu. Compared with Yuan Shao's foundation of a wealthy family, Liu Xiu's foundation is of course deeper, broader and more solid. rq！！！
