"Huh? That's because I blamed the husband and you, and I hope the prince and don't blame it. Liu Yao said with a smile, "This day has entered April, it is the time for spring ploughing, it is better to go back quickly, otherwise it will be bad for late spring ploughing." ”

"My lord, please enter the city first. Otherwise, these people would not have left. Frustrated and helpless, he said. He had already tried, but there was nothing he could do about the people who would not leave.

Liu Yao's heart moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh that the people of this era are simple. Whoever is good to them, then they will naturally repay him,

Immediately, Liu Yao was not verbose, turned around and shouted, "Everyone, thank you for your support to me Liu Yao, but this is the time for spring ploughing, so let's go back quickly." ”

Immediately, Liu Yao shouted to the army, "The army will follow me into the city." Saying that, Liu Yao entered Jixian County in the eyes of many people with gratitude and worship.

Youzhou General's Mansion. Liu Yao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this mansion, but then smiled helplessly. After all, with his current identity, he also needs such a mansion. And after Liu Yao settled Diao Chan, Cai Yan, and Liu Xin, he immediately issued an order for the meeting, and all the important officials who are now in Jixian County were summoned.

In the conference hall, Liu Yao sat on the main seat, and on the left hand side below were Cai Yong, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Chen Lin, Gu Yong, as well as Mo Tian and Ma Jun.

On the right hand side are Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Zangba, Hua Tuo, Ou Feng, as for Ma Chao and Ma Dai, they are just children, and they are not qualified to participate in such a meeting for the time being.

Liu Yao looked around at everyone, and found that a few faces were missing, so he asked, "Gonghe, what about Han Sheng, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Zitai (Tian Chou), Zhongde (Cheng Yu), and Yuanbo (Gao Lan), why aren't they here?" ”

"Qi lord, Zitai received a letter of appointment from the imperial court sent by the lord, and he went to Liaodong half a month ago, and Yuan Bo went to assist Zitai, after all, there is still Karasuma Cun zài on the side of Liaodong, and a general must be needed."

Liu Yao couldn't help but suddenly forget that he had just sent the appointment letter back a few days ago. This Tian Chou naturally went to Liaodong, and although Gao Ran is not good at military formation, there is no need to say much about martial arts. With the two of them in Liaodong, this is also a good combination.

"As for Hansheng, although that Karasuma was defeated by us, there is still a humble existence. Last year, in the autumn of the month, Xianbei also violated the border of Shanggu in Youzhou, so I asked Ziyi and Zhongde to lead an army of 50,000 to block it, and defeated Xianbei by a big defeat. And now Hansheng is now replacing Ziyi, taking Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to guard it. Zhongde was also there to assist Hansheng. Frustration said slowly.

"Xianbei!!" Liu Yao couldn't help frowning when he heard this name, and asked, "Gonghe, what is the situation of this Xianbei now?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, over the years, Xianbei has become stronger and stronger in October under the leadership of the Xianbei king Tanshi Huai, and has basically occupied the land of the original Xiongnu, with a population of two or three million, which can be said to be the most powerful party among these foreign races, but fortunately, this Tanshi Huai died of illness for a long time four years ago, and now it is his son and Lian who succeeded to the throne, which is much worse than Tanshi Huai, so with Hansheng guarding the upper valley, it is absolutely impossible for Xianbei to step into Youzhou."

"Tanshi Huai" Liu Yao couldn't help but move when he heard this name. It is not an exaggeration to say that this sandalwood acacia is a masterpiece of a generation. When he was young, he was brave and resourceful, and was elected as a tribal leader. The royal court was established in Gaoliu Beidanhan Mountain, plundered the counties along the border to the south, resisted Ding Ling in the north, repelled Fuyu in the east, attacked Wusun in the west, and completely occupied the homeland of the Xiongnu, reaching more than 14,000 li from east to west and more than 7,000 li from north to south.

These achievements all show the ability of this sandalwood locust, but fortunately, he died of illness, if he is still alive, this Xianbei is really a difficult bone to gnaw.

This Xianbei was not a unified clan in the first place, and originally relied on the ability of Tanshi Huai to temporarily unify it, but as soon as Tanshi Huai died, He Lian succeeded to the throne, which is too far behind Lian than other fathers, poor martial arts, poor resourcefulness, and even the most important courage is also poor. Therefore, as soon as he ascended to the throne, Xianbei suddenly split. Xianbei has nothing to fear under the leadership of such a person.

Immediately, Liu Yao stopped paying attention to Xianbei, and asked at Fu Zhu, "Gonghe, I don't know how our Youzhou has developed in the past year?" ”

"For more than a year, I have been following the instructions of my lord and constantly recruiting displaced people. Now the population of this Youzhou has reached 7 million. ”

"So many !!" Liu Yao exclaimed in surprise. He originally thought that four or five million would be good, but now it exceeded Liu Yao's expectations. Liu Yao frowned, and asked with some worry, "Gonghe, is the food in our Youzhou enough to feed so many people?" Where do so many people come from to live? ”

"Lord, you don't have to worry about that. Last year, the wind and rain in Youzhou were smooth, and the main celebrities reclaimed a large amount of wasteland and distributed it to the people. As well as the agricultural tools such as waterwheels developed by the lord, they have also been manufactured and distributed to the entire Youzhou in large quantities. This year, our grain production in Youzhou alone has reached 10 million stones. And I have been following the instructions of the lord to continue to purchase grain from Xuzhou, Yizhou and other grain-producing states, not to mention 7 million, just say 10 million is enough. Now the grain stock in Youzhou is enough for the entire Youzhou for three years. Frustrated said with a smile.

"As for the place to live, don't worry, I selected four pieces of empty land around Jixian County according to the lord's previous mentions, and arranged for those displaced people to build a city. And wages are food, which is distributed once a day. In this way, we can solve the problem of homeless people, and we can also add four cities to Youzhou for me. It is also good to surround our Jixian County in the middle for protection. ”

Liu Yao was shocked when he heard this, what is the concept of this 10 million stone grain. The annual grain output of this big man is only 30 million stones. That is to say, the annual grain production of Youzhou has reached one-third of that of the entire Han Dynasty, and the current population of Youzhou is only about one-sixth of that of the Han Dynasty.

As for the matter of the four cities, Liu Yao used to just casually bring up the matter of the Acropolis when he was chatting with Fu Zhu, Liu Yao himself forgot about it, but he didn't expect Fu Zhu to remember it clearly in his heart.

And Cai Yong, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the newcomers to Youzhou, couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the words 10 million stones. couldn't help but look at Liu Yao with some admiration. If Liu Yao really regained the Han in the future, then with such a grain output, there would never be any more starvation deaths in the Han. If you go to a barren land like Youzhou, you can have such a yield, let alone a rich land like the Central Plains.

Immediately, Liu Yao asked with some concern, "Gonghe, let's let those homeless people build a city, won't there be any problems?" "Liu Yao is worried that those homeless people will not be able to make any mutiny, and it will be troublesome.

"Don't worry, my lord, because the food we give to the people every day is not only enough for a day, but also surplus, which is undoubtedly the greatest benefit for these homeless people who are almost unable to eat every day. Moreover, as we said beforehand, these cities were the places where they would live in the future. In order to have a stable home, these homeless people will also do things with their hearts. ”
