Chapter 20 The Displaced People Enter Jiameng Liu Xunyi Tuntian
Liu Xun immediately said: "Tell Zhang Song and Fa Zheng to come to the council hall to see me immediately, and there is something important to discuss." "The soldiers on the left and right took the order and left.
Not long after, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng arrived, and Liu Xun asked straight to the point: "Recently, tens of thousands of displaced people have flocked to Jiameng Pass, Brother Yongnian, what are your ideas?" ”
"Tens of thousands of displaced people poured in, first, to prevent the enemy's army from mixing in and taking the opportunity to seize the Jiameng Pass, and on the other hand, to solve the problem of feeding these people," Zhang Song said. ”
"Brother Yongnian means to ask Yang Huai and Gao Pei to guard the gate, not to let the exiles enter the gate, and let them fend for themselves?" Liu Xundao.
"I am also thinking about the great cause of the lord, so many displaced people have poured into Yizhou, and if one is not handled properly, it will also provoke a civil uprising, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be repeated," Zhang Song said worriedly.
"Brother Xiaozhi, what do you think?" Liu Xun saw that Fa Zheng was silent, knowing that he was old and serious, so he asked.
"I think Yongnian's words make sense, but if these displaced people are kept out, it will do more harm than good," Fa Zheng said slowly.
"Oh, tell me why keeping these homeless people out of the country is doing more harm than good," Liu Xunzhi asked further, knowing that Fa Zheng had a talent for governing the country.
"Lord, please think, why do these homeless people wander around? Where do they come from? Why didn't the princes accept them? Fa Zheng asked rhetorically.
"I have received a report that at present, in the Luoyang area, Dong Zhuo was assassinated, Li Dao and Guo Yan led the army to fight with Lu Bu, and the people did not survive, and the people fled one after another. Most of these displaced people are from Guanzhong. ”
"As for the princes of those who have divided one side, the reason why they are unwilling to accept these exiles is probably not much different from Brother Yongnian's analysis."
"Why did they flock to Yizhou? Probably wandering all the way, passing by, right? I couldn't figure out why. Liu Xun scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Congratulations to the lord, this is great news", Fa Zheng finished speaking, left his seat, and waved to Liu Xun.
"Filial piety, what are you doing here, where does my joy come from?" Liu Xun was puzzled by Fa Zheng, as if falling into a fog.
"This is the result of the Lord's benevolent government over the past year. The lord distributed the lawless and powerful land in Yizhou to the poor people, and the name of benevolence and righteousness spread far and wide, and now everyone in the world knows it, which is the reason why this group of displaced people poured into Yizhou. Fa Zheng's analysis was reasonable, and Liu Xun was secretly happy in his heart.
"Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the lord distributes the powerful land to the people, to be honest, at the beginning, Fa Zheng did not think so. Now it seems that the significance of this measure is far-reaching, and the more Xia Guan thinks about it, the more he feels that the decision of the lord that day is very wise", Fa Zheng said that he was happy, and his eyebrows fluttered, and he almost danced with his hands.
"Then, filial piety, in your opinion, it is time to accept this group of displaced people", Liu Xundao.
"Not only must we open and accept them, but we must also set up porridge sheds to help them, and they must not be turned away from the door when they come from afar," Fa Zheng said loudly, "This is related to the reputation of the lord, and even more to the lord's grand plan and hegemony." ”
"How to solve the problem in the future? Now that the finances are empty, the state cannot come up with extra money to resettle them, and it is impossible to always rely on setting up porridge sheds to relieve them. At first, those displaced people will be grateful to us for taking them in, but after a long time, if their living conditions are not improved, there will be chaos? Liu Xundao.
"Is there a solution to these problems?" Liu Xun asked.
"The lord's concern is not unreasonable. I'm patronizing the immediate problems of these displaced people, but I haven't thought about how to solve them fundamentally," Fa Zheng said.
"I thought of a way, I don't know what filial piety thinks?" Liu Xun sold Guanzi.
"The lord has already made up his mind, but let me bear the burden for a long time," Zhang Song said, "If the problem of eating these homeless people can be fundamentally solved, I will also agree to let them enter the customs." ”
"My method can not only fundamentally solve the problem of feeding these displaced people, but also allow our Yizhou to have enough food and clothing, and the soldiers will be strong and strong," Liu Xundao.
"Is there such a good thing?"
"Two of you, please think about it, these homeless people are from Guanzhong, if it weren't for the war, would Guanzhong be richer, or would we Yizhou be richer?"
"Of course, Guanzhong is richer, Chang'an and Luoyang are the capitals of the emperors of the past dynasties, in addition to the important strategic location, it is to fancy the wealth of that place. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who win the middle will win the world. ”
"In addition to the fertile land, an important reason for the wealth of Guanzhong is that the farming technology in that place is relatively mature compared to other places, and the two of you agree with this statement," Liu Xun induced.
"I understand, the lord is to organize these displaced people to reclaim wasteland and make them self-sufficient", Zhang Song patted his head and suddenly realized, "Lord, I guessed correctly." ”
"The heroes see the same thing, Brother Yongnian's thoughts coincide with mine," Liu Xundao, "In this way, not only will the problem of feeding the displaced people be solved, but they will also be able to hand over excess food, so that the state capital will be rich." ”
"What we need to provide is nothing more than some ownerless wasteland, plus land that has not been dealt with under the names of Zhao Yun and other lawless heroes, as well as some ploughing cattle, farm tools, seeds, etc.", Fa Zheng also enlightened, "This is really a good way to do it once and for all." ”
"Not only that, but I also plan to organize some armies that do not fight wars in peacetime to do farm work, so that the army can be as self-sufficient as possible," Liu Xun boldly envisioned, "In this way, the financial burden can be greatly reduced."
"I call this method - do - tun - field", Liu Xun said word by word.
"Good way, I have a suggestion, you can set up an official position to be in charge of Tuntian," Zhang Song suggested.
"Okay, this official position is called Tuntian Official, this position is very important, what are the candidates for the two, can you recommend?" Liu Xun asked.
"I have a candidate, this person offended the old lord because of his outspoken advice, shaved his hair, and removed his official position. This person is more strategic, let him be the official of Tuntian, should be able to take on heavy responsibilities", Zhang Song said.
"Could it be Peng Yongyan", Liu Xun vaguely remembered this person, an inconspicuous little person in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was this person who foresaw that Deng Xian would dig the embankment of the Fujiang River and flood Liu Bei's army.
Liu Xun remembered Peng Yongyan, and because of this incident, he felt that this should be a very knowledgeable person.
"It's Peng Yongyan, the lord has heard of him?" Zhang Song's face was puzzled.
"I have heard of this man, but I have not met him, and tomorrow you will call him to me. I'm going to look at it, and if this person is really talented, I'll hire him for a certain amount. ”
After making up his mind, Liu Xun immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book, letting Yang Huai and Gao Pei release the exiles into the customs, and at the same time strictly prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to infiltrate.
At the same time, it was pointed out that tents would be erected temporarily to provide accommodation for the homeless. Porridge shacks were set up to provide food for the homeless.
After Yang Huai and Gao Pei received the order, although they were unwilling in their hearts, they still opened and closed the door and let the exiles enter the customs. Find ways to provide accommodation and food for the homeless.
Before Jia Meng Pass, everyone cheered for a while, praising Liu Xun's benevolence. These people were accustomed to seeing the burning, killing, and plundering of Dong Zhuo's army, and along the way, they saw the brutal faces of the princes from all walks of life.
Although he later heard that Liu Xun, the pastor of Yizhou, treated people with benevolence and righteousness, and distributed the land of the Haoqiang family to the poor people, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, and tens of thousands of horses and horses traveled to Yizhou.
Even so, in the hearts of many people, it is doubtful whether Liu Xun is really as benevolent and righteous as the legend.
Now, I saw with my own eyes that the general of Jiameng Pass passed Liu Xun's order, not only let them enter the pass, but also provided them with food and lodging, and the messenger also said that they should wait patiently, and the state pastor would also settle them well.
"Lord Zhou Mu is really a living immortal!" I don't know who was the first to shout, and suddenly there was a voice of gratitude.
"The grace of life, never dare to forget, the state pastor is really our reborn parent!"
"From now on, we are the people under the rule of the state pastor, and we will swear to defend the state pastor."
It's a pity that Liu Xun didn't see this touching situation. What he may never have imagined was that some of the things he had inadvertently done for the poor people were gradually changing the era when the noble family was dominant.
……
At this time, Liu Xun was thinking about how to face the current situation. Although Yizhou is located in the middle of nowhere, it is impossible not to get involved.
When he wanted to get into trouble, his subordinates reported: "A disheveled man, claiming to be Peng Yongyan, came to ask to see the lord." ”
"Please."
A burly, dignified-looking man, wearing a pair of slippers and a shabby dress, entered Liu Xun's sight.
From the short neck-length hair of the man, it can be seen that this is a tortured man. Because the ancients paid attention to the hair and skin of the body, the parents who received it must not be damaged in the slightest. Naturally, this person's hair could not have been shaved off when he was bored.
"Lord Governor, I heard that you called me here, I don't know what happened?" It seems that the person who came deliberately pretended to be stupid, no wonder, this person was loyal, but he was demoted by Liu Zhang and shaved his hair, and it was a little uncomfortable to change anyone.
"Brother Yongyan, let you suffer, Liu Xun's father and son are guilty", Liu Xun hurriedly left his seat, took off the big coat he was wearing, and put it on Peng Yongyan's body instead.
"The state pastor is so loving, why is Peng Yongyan so restrained. Yongyan has thanked him for the crime of disrespect here, and the Lord of Weizhou is the first to look forward", Peng Yongyan didn't expect Liu Xun to be so polite and virtuous, and his eyes were a little moist.
"The matter of the homeless people, I guess Zhang Yongnian has already told you, I don't know what Brother Yongyan thinks?" Liu Xun put down the shelf and sincerely asked for advice, of course, he also had the intention of taking the opportunity to investigate the other party.
"According to the grass people's opinion, ......", Peng Yongyan was about to make a generous speech, when a carrier pigeon flew in and landed on Liu Xun's case.
made a gesture of stopping, temporarily interrupting Peng Yongyan's words.
Liu Xun took a piece of paper from the pigeon's leg, unfolded it and read it, and as he read, his brows began to tighten.
looked at Liu Xun suspiciously, and intuitively, Liu Xun encountered a tricky thing.
