In Guangling, Xuzhou, today's Guangling City, can be described as thousands of empty alleys, the entire Guangling City gathered in an instant from all over the world Han people, including high-ranking officials and nobles, there are also those ordinary people, more are those businessmen.

Within ten days, the passenger flow in Guangling City reached dozens of times that of the past.

There is a reason why so many people came.

A few months ago, the Yangzhou Navy, which set off from Guangling as a Yangzhou monarch-class warship with a mighty caravan, was coming back.

This is the reason why the alley was empty this time.

The return of the navy alone is not yet satisfactory, but this time it is back with a caravan, which makes the entire Yangzhou territory boil.

In particular, ships have already come back to report the news.

On top of a tall building at the port of Guangling City, a group of people were looking at the sky-high coast.

Upstairs and downstairs, there are all armor guards, and at this glance, you can know where the dignitaries are.

"Your Highness is coming, Weichen has missed the welcome, and I ask Your Highness to atone for your sins!" A middle-aged scribe dressed in official robes came to the bottom of the tall building, and behind him he knelt down towards the dignitaries in the building.

"Isn't that our Lord Thorn!" Someone with sharp eyes could see the identity of the middle-aged scribe at a glance, and shouted loudly.

"Yes, that's really Lord Thorn Shi, you see, isn't his left side too Shou-sama!"

"It's really, it's not just Lord Thorn Shi, but also don't drive!"

Some well-informed people in Guangling naturally recognized the identities of the middle-aged scribe and others.

The history of a state's assassination, this can be said to be at the level of a provincial governor. But such a man bowed down to a young man in the building. The identity of this youth.

"Lord Thorn Shi called him His Highness? Isn't it? Someone vaguely guessed.

"Brother Yuanlong. Why do you want to see the outside like this? A helpless voice sounded in the building, and I saw a man in a royal robe walking out and speaking to Xuzhou Thorn Shi over there.

"Ah, really His Royal Highness the King of Han!" Liu Mang's appearance rate can be regarded as very high in Yangzhou, from the scholars and scholars to the people of Liming, as long as they are representatives of all walks of life, they have all seen Liu Mang, and Liu Mang is also very close to the people. Many times the fields are harvested or sown in the season, and the people rejoice.

And this Xuzhou assassin is not a stranger, it is the old team of the original Lu Bujun, our Mr. Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong.

Chen Deng's eyes looked at the man in front of him who was called His Royal Highness the King of Han, it has only been a few years, and the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes, just a few years ago, on this land of Xuzhou, he Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong also led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands to encircle and intercept the young people in front of him and those defeated soldiers of Lu Bu.

almost made Lu Bujun a kind of history in the world of this big man.

But it was from which time he Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong. Only then did he get on the warship of Lu Bu's army, and then it was Lu Bu's army that changed. has become the current Yangzhou Army, and he Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong can also return to Guli, from the beginning of Guangling Taishou, now it has become the history of Xuzhou Thorn.

Liu Mang's subordinates are only a few states, and it is enough to see how important the status of the Xuzhou assassin history released is enough.

Chen Deng was stunned when he thought about it, and even forgot to listen to Liu Mang's shouting on the side. "Bold!" The two door gods around Liu Mang quit, especially Guan Hai.

The current Guan Hai has completely regarded the protection of Liu Mang as the first priority, and has done his dogleg function very loyally.

In this Yangzhou, how can anyone ignore the words of His Royal Highness the King of Han.

Even this Xuzhou thorn history can't do it.

"Hey!" Liu Mang waved his hand to stop Guan Hai, Chen Deng was the old man of the original Lu Bujun, and he made great contributions to Lu Bujun, and his Guangling Army was once the predecessor of his Liu Mang Chengguan Army.

"Ahh Chen Deng reacted at this time, "Please forgive your Highness, the minister has just lost his mind!" “

"Haha, our Lord Thorn Shi, are you thinking about that girl, this is not good, I am going to sue Mrs. Sù!" Liu Mang said with a haha.

The awkward atmosphere was swept away.

Liu Mang put Chen on the throne, and the purpose of their coming here was the same, that is, to wait for the warriors who had returned from going to sea to return to the land of Yangzhou.

There are many storms above the sea, so the distance is naturally not agreed to at all.

Originally, the ships that came back to report the news in front said that if the water was on the water, these ships that had gone to sea should have come back last night, but they had delayed until today, and there were still no ships in sight.

It's boring, and the waiting time is always long.

On the tall building, this tea has been changed to one pot after another, and Liu Mang himself has gone to the toilet several times.

"Your Highness, otherwise, let's go back for the time being!" Chen Deng said respectfully to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang shook his head, he looked at Chen Deng, the world is impermanent, everything has changed, the original Chen Deng, that was a white dress, there are furrows in his chest, and he is confident on the battlefield, and Chen Deng's martial arts are not weak, even stronger than Liu Mang's second-rate peak.

At the beginning, he was neither humble nor humble, and Confucianism showed his demeanor sharply and exquisitely.

But after meeting like this, there is less of the previous closeness, but more respect.

Even if Liu Mang was prepared, he was smiling bitterly in his heart, isn't it cold in high places! It has already happened in Yangzhou, and now it has also happened in Xuzhou.

In the past, Liu Mang could still call Yang Hong Uncle Hong, but now Yang Hong is unwilling to agree. In the past, I was able to mingle with Cheng Yu and Huang Xu and others, but now when we meet, they are all before and after His Highness. It's not uncomfortable.

The only one of these individuals who has not become Zhuge Liang Xu Shu and others, but one of them is still far away in Xiliang, and the other is so busy that they can't get rid of it.

"Delicious. Delicious! Just when Liu Mang sighed, a foodie's voice came over there.

The corners of Liu Mang's mouth twitched. If anything. He Liu Mo really forgot about one person, that is the pit of Zhoucang, people say that eating a trench will grow a wisdom, but this Zhoucang is completely a negative teaching material.

Because of his mouth, Liu Mang punished him a lot, such as going to the kitchen to help, just to see if he was allowed to eat, such as going to the stable to help.

All sorts of punishments. But this Zhou Cang is still the same kind of indifference.

You punish you, I'll do mine, which makes Liu Mang so angry that his teeth itch.

"Yuanlong, how is the harvest in Xuzhou like this?" Liu Mang chatted with Chen Deng over there.

"Back to Your Highness, Xuzhou has a bumper harvest this year!" There was a hint of red light on Chen Deng's face, and Xuzhou was thriving under his hands. Liu Mang also nodded, Xuzhou's grain and grass supply this year is almost comparable to Yangzhou.

"Just!" Chen Deng said.

"Just what!" Liu Mang asked suspiciously.

"It's just Your Highness, the people in Xuzhou have more children, although my Xuzhou is a population. But there is no one to cultivate the field! Chen Deng looked at Liu Mang in embarrassment.

Liu Mang understands what Chen Deng means, and Liu Mang has always encouraged childbearing since he was in power. The reward for giving birth to a son and the reward for giving birth to a daughter is more to reward the common people with the land.

Because the common people still don't have much impression of money, you sue her for one gold and one thousand gold in his opinion, which are a lot of money, and there is not much concept. It can only be abstract.

But the fields are different, with the fields, there is farming, there is cultivation and there is food, and with food, you can naturally eat enough to live.

For a family of three, five acres of fertile land is enough to eat, if it is ten acres of fertile land, it is enough to live a good life.

So rewarding the field is very intuitive.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, the reward of this field has stimulated many people, plus there were not many entertainment activities in ancient times, and the sky will be dark at night, everyone is blind with black lights, what if there is no entertainment?

Create zào!

A very simple activity is to make a villain.

The medical conditions of the ancients were not good, so the fertility rate and survival rate were not high, but they couldn't stand the crowd.

There are no condoms, no family planning and so on.

It's impossible to have a doll a year, but a doll a year and a half is still possible.

Especially after the first child is born, the second child and the third child are much smoother.

All of a sudden, there is a lot more newborn population in Xuzhou.

Logically speaking, this is a happy event, but the things that make Chen Deng worried, those who have sons and daughters have won many people's homes, and there are more than ten acres of fertile land in the reward alone, plus the addition of some other things, such as a woman who has to cultivate after giving birth.

These more than ten acres of fertile land, how can one man be enough, so these ordinary people only have fertile land but no one cultivates it.

Labor is scarce, after all, now those women are doing less and giving birth to more dolls, giving birth to a doll and a few acres of fertile land will be in hand, if you go to cultivate the land, how much do you earn in a year, one of the consequences of this is that the land is wasted and the food reserves are almost insufficient.

Half-grown children eat Lao Tzu to death.

"Haha!" Liu Mang listened to Chen Deng's embarrassment and suddenly laughed: "Yuanlong! These children are the hope of our Yangzhou future! ”

It is impossible for Liu Mang to listen to Chen Deng's words and stop these policies to encourage childbirth.

Because these policies are the real national policies that belong to Liu Mang.

How many years has this big man been in chaos? From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, before the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion began.

The entire Han Dynasty, the population from the original 40 million people, suddenly locked in water to 12 million, this is a reduction of several times, if this war continues, the troubled times come again, then in the end the Han can have a population of several million and laugh secretly.

Why are there five nonsense flowers? One of the very important reasons is that there is no one in my Han Dynasty, the able-bodied people have died in the civil war, and the rest are old and weak women and children, how can this resist the invasion of those foreign tribes.

So Liu Mang has always been encouraging childbearing, no matter how she is, as long as you can give birth to you, you are a good person.

Liu Mang also specially met with a farmer's family when he was in Yangzhou, their mother-in-law is simply a lucky star, a child gave birth to four, which is rare, in modern times, it will also be difficult to give birth, but this mother is not the first child, so the danger is greatly reduced, plus there are Hua Tuo Zhang Ji These old miracle doctors are there, so it will soon be safe.

gave birth to quadruplets, two boys and two girls, and Liu Mang was happy to give him a knighthood, which can be regarded as a typical example of Yangzhou.

Only when the population grows can we compete for future survival.

Now Xuzhou is a little more difficult, but if you wait for another ten or eight years, and wait for more than ten years, then Xuzhou's population will inevitably double, and young adults will make Xuzhou exude vitality, rather than the kind of dead air that has too many old people and negative population growth.

"Yes! Deng was taught! Chen Deng also nodded, the image of the Han Dynasty has long been in the hearts of the people, and Chen Deng also knows the impression of this war on the population, so this fertility strategy must not be changed lightly.

"As for Yuanlong, you said those grain and grass problems! Nature can also be solved! Liu Mang smiled and said, Xu Shu once raised such a question when he was in Yangzhou.

The solution given by Liu Mang, two!

The first one is to grow sweet potatoes, this thing has a high yield and is easy to survive, but how high the starch of this thing is, the danger of long-term use of the body is relatively large, so Liu Mang can only be regarded as an occasional need.

There is also one that is to buy, where to buy it, there is nothing more than Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places, as well as Yanzhou Lao Cao, but Lao Cao is not having a good time, after all, it has been so many years old, and a lot of land has been wasted.

Liu Mang can't let the Han people here be full, let the Han people on Lao Cao's side go hungry.

The big man was born from the same root, isn't it?

Then there is one place left, and that is to go to sea. Liu Mang had long known that there was good fertile land overseas, and there was also a good supply of grain and grass, so Liu Mang added a condition to those ships that came back.

That is to bring food back.

As long as you go to sea like this, you must make a lot of money, but you can't let the businessman be rich alone, even if you are rich and rich enough to rival the country, only if you make the country rich, you are really a person from the Heavenly Empire.

Therefore, the tax paid when you go to sea and come back is naturally not low, and now Liu Mang is after going to sea, I will exempt you from paying taxes on a shipload of goods if you bring back a boatload of grain and grass. Even those grains and grass, I don't want you for nothing, I will buy them back for you at the world price, so that you don't suffer losses.

"It's coming, it's coming! They're coming! "All of a sudden, there was an explosion of excitement in the harbor. (To be continued......)
