"My lord, gentlemen have arrived." Outside the secret room, Liu Xiu's guards approached the secret room and said respectfully.

"Tell them that my father will be there soon." Liu Xiu stopped pondering, still constantly refining the vague plan in his heart, so he didn't do it immediately for this summoning.

…

"You've all arrived..."Liu Xiu thought as he walked, and soon arrived at the study, and saw that all the strategists and generals had already arrived, so he shook his spirits and said with a smile: "Delongwangshu, Delongwangshu..."

"Now it's the opposite..."

"Oh?!" As soon as Liu Xiu's words came out, everyone was suspicious, and then someone asked: "The lord has decided on Hanzhong?!" ”

"En...," Liu Xiu smiled and nodded, "Liu Bei has withdrawn from Hanzhong." ”

"Liu Bei is so courageous!" Someone praised.

"Indeed, he has made all the preparations, and there is no need to be afraid that I will regret it..."Liu Xiu recalled this period of time, and he was quite emotional: Soon after he agreed to sign the Luoyang Covenant that day, there was news that Jiangdong had promised the alliance, and then, almost overnight, everyone in the world knew that the three families were about to form an alliance against Cao

As soon as this news came out, as expected, it was Cao Cao who was most worried, and the most unlucky was Sun; The frightened Cao Cao not only sent strong troops to consolidate Yanzhou and Runan, guarding against Liu Xiu and Liu Xie, but also displayed a large number of soldiers and horses on the border of Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and took special care of the Sun family, just because, now, everyone can see that Liu Xiu has expanded a large number of territories in a short period of time, and he has some indigestion, and it is impossible to break out a large-scale war with Cao Cao;

Around Cao Cao, under the eyes of all enemies, except for the strongest Liu Xiu, the weakest emperor, Xiliang, which is separated by a merger state, there are only foreign clans outside Youzhou, and there will be a war with the Sun clan in the southeast, so the border between the two families suddenly became tense

"Presumably Liu Bei should have laughed in his dreams this time..."

"But I don't know how the Sun clan would agree to this kind of alliance?! Isn't this specifically for Liu Bei to attract Cao Cao's troops, and he won't get anything after that?! ”

"How can it be that there is no gain!" Everyone was discussing, and Liu Bowen also said: "Cao Cao's troops are limited at this time, and he will definitely not be able to take care of several heads, he will focus on the Sun family, and the state side will definitely be given a chance by Liu Bei and His Majesty,"

"Plus those foreigners who are ready to move, and the lord is eyeing the south side of Runan"

"Cao Cao can be described as embattled, where does he have any ability to pose a threat to the Sun family..."

"Presumably, Liu Bei's next step is to send troops to Hexi and threaten Taiyuan! And Your Majesty will presumably take the opportunity to send troops from Hedong and Hanoi..."

"They are very calculating, hehehe..." Liu Xiu smiled, and just said: "Regardless of them, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, as long as we have the opportunity, we can gnaw Cao Cao's Runan and other places, we can weaken our great enemy, and we can also strengthen a few bodies, why not?!" ”

"The lord is wise!"

"Well..."Liu Xiu nodded and continued, "I came to you this time, but not for these..."

"A few days ago, we have agreed that as long as Hanzhong is captured and the land is consolidated, we will start to carry out large-scale reforms and develop steadily,"

"Now that the time has come, let's talk about it..."Liu Xiu said, sitting on the main seat and looking around at everyone.

……

[Reform, development]!

This is Liu Xiu's most urgent matter, only the war from last year to this year's half a year, although there have been successes, but it still makes Liu Xiu feel difficult!

Why?!

From the beginning of the war, the grain and grass and armaments used by Liu Xiu were all accumulated in Jingnan in the past two or three years, and after the capture of Bashu and Jingbei, although the grain and grass armaments were replenished to a certain extent, they were only the old things used by Liu Zhang and Liu Biao

It can be said that Liu Xiu has been a prince for eight years, of which eighty percent of the time and money are given to the war, and all political affairs are entrusted to Fang Xuanling and Zhao Zeping. However, it was also because he ruled too small to be unnecessary before, but now, he has made up his mind to develop his own states.

Needless to say, he must make a lot of reforms in the area of people's livelihood and agriculture alone, otherwise, he will not be able to meet the future conquest if he just continues to use the previous system...

"What is the Lord going to do?!" Some people ask their father-in-law, clearly know what the lord thinks, this is a compulsory course for every subordinate.

When Liu Xiu heard this, he became silent: in terms of people's livelihood and agriculture, he has all kinds of insights and ideas, but it is very messy...

"Today, for the people, some eat, some wear, some live, and they will not be killed for no reason when they walk on the road, which is all they have, and this is the most basic livelihood!"

Liu Xiu vigorously searched for the knowledge about this piece in his mind and began to talk eloquently, "And among them, the most important thing is food, which is food!" It is also the most important thing with our army! ”

"Farming!"

"Therefore, I want to vigorously develop agriculture, reclaim wasteland, and reform agricultural equipment!"

"The most important thing to develop agriculture is [field]! Except for the reclamation of wasteland, the rest is only in the hands of the old clan! ”

"Reclamation of wasteland is easy to say, but it is only a problem of this world, but it cannot be solved in one day..."

"In this regard, I want to start from both sides!" Liu Xiu said, stopped to take a sip of tea, and looked at the people who were contemplating with low eyebrows, if they want to say anything else, their lord is really not as good as them, but if they talk about agriculture, maybe there are really few who are as good as him.

"The first one was to reclaim wasteland!"

"In my Jingzhou, Bashu and Jiaozhou and other places, the land is fertile, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and some are wastelands that have not yet been opened, so it is imperative to gather countless displaced people and the people to farm for their own people!"

"I wonder how the lord intends to exercise this land system?!"

"First, all the reclaimed wasteland is owned by my Chu Mansion, and then leased to farmers, and when it is completed, each household pays two layers of taxes, and the rest belongs to the farmers themselves!

Second, all fields shall not be bought or sold without permission; If there is a levy in the Chu Mansion, the surplus grain of each household must be sold in the Chu Mansion! ”

Liu Xiu said that these two regulations are actually to raise their own local owners, instead of allowing themselves to collect grain from the landlords, which not only allows the farmers to be exploited, but also makes their military rations insufficient...

"As for the fields of the old clan, if my father doesn't touch it first, you will boldly recruit displaced people and farmers for my father, and my father will dig up all the tenant farmers on the side of the clan!"

"Besides, Berwyn, those chambers of commerce that you let my lord cultivate, open to all the clans, buy effort!"

"My father wants to be the biggest landlord in the world! (To be continued.) )
