Three days later, Xu Zhen's inspection trip began.

The configuration is followed by Jia Xu and Yang Xiu.

Chen Deng and Zhuge Liang guarded the internal affairs of Qing Han.

Dian Wei led his Blue Tiger Army of 22,000 people to guard the city and obeyed Zhuge Liang's dispatch.

Qi Yue, Wang Meng, and Wang Hu have returned from Hefei because of Xu Zhen's order, and naturally the eight hundred heroes under Zhang Liao's command have also arrived here, and most of Xu Zhen's troops have returned to Jizhou at this moment.

Jizhou plus Cao Ren personally led the 80,000 soldiers and horses guarding Yecheng, a total of 160,000 troops, coupled with the gradual recovery of slow recruitment of troops and horses in various places, it can continue to garrison troops in a few years to resist Youzhou and Merge Prefecture.

In fact, it cannot be said to be a countermeasure, but a threat.

Yuan Shang still needs to quell the chaos in Bingzhou, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers he got are all the headquarters that Yuan Shao brought out from Jizhou, which can be described as the last family foundation, and the biggest treasure is to leave Gao Ran to him, the last one of the four court pillars.

If Yuan Shang offered him as a treasure, maybe the road to quelling the chaos would be smooth, and he could survive for a few more years, and in the land of Youzhou, Yuan Xi fought by himself in ordinary battles, and after being ambushed and defeated by Xu Zhen in Youzhou, he already had a shadow in his heart about the sword and shield soldiers, and even felt fear.

Xu Zhen's parade, in order to inform the counties, do not hide his trip, the soldiers and horses he led are the most famous armor horses, Xu You and Xu Chu actually worked together, for the civil and military ministers to walk, responsible for the size of the matters along the way.

So half a month passed in full swing, and the parade soldiers and horses walked about three counties, stopped at Changshan County, stopped in Zhending, and went to his hometown with Zhao Yun, which was regarded as accompanying Zhao Zilong to return to his hometown.

Zhao Yun set up a banquet in his ancestral house in his hometown, his ancestral house is not very big, it is a courtyard near a hill, three families live in it, and now only the wife of his eldest brother Zhao Feng is there.

There is also a little nephew Zhao Ning, who is not very old, Zhao Yun was an infant before he ran away, and now he is a drooping child.

Under an old tree in the courtyard, Xu Zhen and his party sat in a row, and the rest of the people were celebrating, only Xu You and Yang Xiu were called in front of them, and Xu Zhen and Jia Xu continued to see and hear all the way to evaluate the officials in Zhending, Changshan and other places.

"This year's celestial phenomena have been good, the harvest should be self-sufficient, Changshan Country has always been tepid, Zhang Yan and others hide in the mountains and no longer show their heads, the Black Mountain thieves may be able to slowly turn into ordinary people and settle down within a few years."

"The policy of the prince is that he will no longer pursue the Black Mountain thieves, but allow them to be exiles, be resettled, and join the army as soldiers and horses under his command in the future, so that they can be governed."

"Therefore, the stubborn disease should disappear in a few years, this is a clever plan," Yang Xiu put his hands behind his back and said what he thought in his heart, these days he has been thinking about Xu Zhen's benevolence to the displaced people, the reason why he has done so loudly is that there is an effect that can actually digest the Black Mountain thieves, and all the officials in the past are estimated to have this kind of courage.

"In the case of Changshan, Hejian, and Bohai counties, they can all be self-sufficient, and the results of opening the warehouse and releasing grain this year are also fruitful. Prince, the policy has been completed, and now it has already been operational, and there is no need to worry about it. ”

"Well, what I want now is to be rich and strong."

Xu Zhen looked at the summary report on the note, and basically saw the whole territory from the three counties, at this time, the harvest of the three counties was already self-sufficient, and he was not afraid of poverty in winter, which meant that doubling the balance next year would not be a problem.

With a surplus of grain, the people can live a richer life, and with the cultivation of pig makers, the villagers who breed meat do not have to worry, and the number of cattle, fat pigs, and wild fowl can be abundant.

The population will continue to increase, and Jizhou will be able to eat more homeless thieves, who are completely enough to settle down.

Now timber and stone are also in the solution of the urgent need, slowly have reserves, manpower cutting and mining, another side of tree planting, take remote and dense talents, plant near the city barren ridge, several years of work can be seen.

Then, the cities, the villages, the places where the people live are also increasing.

If you want to be rich and strong, you can use business.

"Bartering was the original trading principle, but because of artificial planning, there was more currency, and now it is five baht, and gold and silver."

"The amount of five baht money circulating in Jizhou, the effect is not high, it is still based on grain and minced meat, cloth, gold and silver, etc., the effect of five baht money is not high, we must restore the utility of the five baht money in the past, advocate this as currency, and now circulate in the territory, extended to all places, as for gold, silver and cloth, etc., it still has valuable effect."

"In Jizhou, you can open a grain bank, from this autumn harvest, the grain bank only uses five baht money to exchange grain, improve the circulation of five baht money, I want to see how much money can be taken out in the territory."

After all, after Dong Zhuo changed to a small currency in Chang'an, the five-baht coin lost its effectiveness within a few days at a rapid speed, and after a month, someone picked up a load of five-baht coin on the street, and could only buy a few buns and a few pieces of ordinary cloth.

Since then, the five-baht coin has been scrapped.

If you want to circulate it again, you must take Xu Zhen's reputation as the standard, first use grain to increase the value of the five-baht coin, and at the same time set a price, so that the people in the territory can get the convenience of the five-baht coin, and spend all the coins hidden in the family back then.

When we come back to the end of the year, we can basically calculate how many five baht the people in the territory have, and then set a price in the coming year.

This kind of policy, similar to the implementation of currency, is likely to be just a decision for Xu Zhen, but the real effect is huge.

The slightest carelessness will cause turmoil among the people, and the grain supply in Jizhou will not be equal, which requires officials and businessmen from all over the country to constantly measure and change.

Yang Xiu immediately thought: "We can set our own prices, this is the case for minced meat and grain, and only when the five baht money generates value can the people circulate among themselves." ”

"Yes, a price to be set."

Now the five baht of small coins is only the size of a finger, and a bag contains 100 pieces, and the casting is made of iron, and there are still many molds cast in the local government offices, so as to prevent imitation and carve unique marks in many unknown places.

If there is a counterfeit coinage, it will be confiscated, and in the Luoyang era, the five-baht coin was still the most popular coin, so it is still preserved in every household.

But after it was made smaller, its value was still there, but the value of its own production was reduced by half.

As for the price setting, several people discussed for a long time, and then decided to wait for the autumn harvest grain to be taxed, first set up grain stores in various places, and wait for the officials and businessmen to sell the grain.

"In addition, the more goods we take out in Jizhou, the more we can earn all kinds of money, and strange goods can live," Xu Zhen touched his chin, "Over there in the Tiangong Academy, we are researching new things, and the furniture made of woodworking is deeply liked by the officials of the Xu Dushi clan, and the sales to Jiangnan are not bad, among which small reclining chairs, wooden benches, etc. are the most popular." ”

"There are also round table utensils that can be used in the back kitchen at home, which can be kept in the homes of ordinary people, and they do not need Confucian etiquette to entertain guests."

"I think that these people in various places can divide their household registration into villages, pavilions, and groups, and form public households for every 300 households, so that among the public households, a capable person can be elected as the head of the household, and he can take the lead in farming, business trading, and even hard work, so as to facilitate the formation of a cohesive pattern of the people in various places, and unified management and deployment."

"Guys, what do you think?"

Xu Zhen's words under the big locust tree in Zhao Yun's house made several people hear some cross-era cognitions and ideas again, and he planned to let the so-called "head of the household" be a small official to manage 300 households.

That is to say, the people can settle the people, and even bring 300 households to continuously collect work and increase the harvest of one family, so they can increase their income and grain every year and develop and grow.

It's a ...... A good way to compete for profits, as an official, only need to manage at the top, or release the opportunities that can make money in the form of preferential policies, and the rest will be managed by the people themselves, all of them want to run a way out, of course, they will not waste opportunities at will.

As for the slave people of the Shi family, of course, they can also be recounted when the household registration is investigated, and they can be included in the household registration of the people in Jizhou.

As for how to enrich and strengthen the territory, of course, the tax revenue of the merchants will be increased, so that the public can pay taxes, and the money distributed to the people is real.

They will naturally spend, once the expenses will be circulated, circulation, money will continue to generate value, at this moment several people are also transparent in their hearts, standing in the position of the state pastor, they actually do not fancy how much money they have.

But it can make money flow back and forth among the people like flowing water, as if Jizhou is a lake, the deeper the lake, the better, the pond fish will be more and more prosperous.

As for the money you want in wartime, you can access it at any time.

If there is enough water in the lake, it can even be able to get enough money for military resources without affecting the stable circulation and unrest the people, and marching to fight.

It's also a good idea.

"In the next, although I haven't figured it out yet, I have faintly felt that I have something to look forward to, maybe I can try it for a year, but I ask the prince to consider the slave people in the scholar clan, if all the people in the clan are recounted, I am afraid there will be a huge repercussions."

Yang Xiu knew that the party was in charge back then, and the eunuchs wanted to eliminate the influence of the scholars, so a huge persecution of the party members eventually led to too many collapses.

Even, many people speculate that behind the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, many party members organized persecution, in a vain attempt to overthrow the court and force relatives and courtiers to kill eunuchs.

Therefore, except for the family of the scholars, it cannot be achieved overnight, not to mention that Yang Xiu is the head of the scholar clan, even if he is loyal to Xu Zhen, he will not dare to really let the scholar clan be completely wiped out.

Now it is about to provoke the rebellion of the corporal people in the world, and the strength should not be underestimated, even Cao Cao may not be able to bear such consequences, and it may be possible to make all the existing achievements fail at any time.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Yang Xiu continued: "In the next suggestion, you can make the slave people among the scholars form caravans to run around, and make money by doing business, so that circulation can be implemented, and it can not be too fundamental, and my Yang clan can set an example and serve the prince." ”

"Good way," Xu Zhen nodded immediately, "According to this, first send what you think today to Xu Du, and when we go back, we will immediately implement this matter." ”

"Whoa!"

Yang Xiu felt a little more comfortable when he got the order, he was worried that he had become a sinner, and now Xu Zhen was obviously going to make innovations, his new policy was more drastic than before, and the impact on the scholars was greater.

From the very beginning, Yang Xiu understood that Xu Zhen had always thought of the slave people in the Shi family, because he had said more than once that if the slave people returned to the Han household registration, he was afraid that the population would be millions more.

A million people, placed in any state and county, will be a qualitative change, incompetent people will be dragged to death by these million people, and capable people can even change more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Moreover, Xu Zhen also said that the current situation is not even how to dominate the world, but how to let the Han continue to maintain national strength, prosper for several generations, and keep the family business from being devastated.

Otherwise, the end of the troubled times will depend on the outcome of both sides, and although the civil strife of the Han Dynasty will be peaceful, how to resist the insult of foreign enemies.

The letters from Changshan Kingdom were recorded in the form of Xu Zhen's miscellaneous conversations, written by Jia Xu, and sent to Qinghe County, and arrived in the hands of Zhuge Liang and Chen Deng in one day.

During the negotiation, the two understood Xu Zhen's intentions.

"If the business is feasible, let it go out first, let the slaves among the nobles form a caravan, prepare the merchant horses, and run the business along the road."

"How do you put this out?" Chen Deng expressed doubt.

They also had thousands of slaves in the Chen clan, all of whom cultivated the land in the township and had food to live on every year, but most of them had to submit to the hundreds of dead soldiers trained at home.

The rest of the families are afraid that there are more.

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My younger brother is now in Jingzhou, and my elder brother is a vassal in Jiangdong, and there are less than a hundred slaves in the family. ”

"It's all-powerful to form a caravan, as long as you and I take the lead, write a letter to inform the family, and act in a high-profile manner, there are already many people who want to follow suit."

"Brother Yuanlong, do you still think that no one is staring at us?"

Zhuge Liang smiled confidently.

"Heh, hehe......"

Chen Deng immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head, this is the truth, it is true that I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them, as long as there is any change, the scholars will follow suit, for fear of falling half a step.

"I'll write a letter home and send it to Xuzhou."

"Well, in addition to this, we must take the lead in building grain stores, and then order the officials in various places to issue announcements to the people in advance, informing them that the five baht money can be exchanged for money and grain, so that the family can prepare money, and most importantly, let the people everywhere prepare for registration."

"We asked the slaves to form a caravan at once, and at the same time ordered the people to prepare for registration, so that the nobles could prepare in advance and follow our example."

Chen Deng stroked his beard, smiled lightly, and praised Zhuge Liang, "Clever plan, don't say anything, but you have already begun to lead them by the nose and leave, what the prince wants is the scholar clan to help, not to completely suppress it." ”

"It is worthy of being the only protégé of the prince, and it is indeed ingenious not to drive."
