Chapter 191: Accumulation of Grain

In fact, it was not only Huang Zhong who wanted to leave the Northwest Battlefield, but there was also another person who was not happy in the Northwest.

This person is none other than Xu Rong, a native of Youzhou.

Today's Xu Rong is still the temporary Sima, stationed in Fufeng with Huangfu Song.

The credit ahead is not his share, and he can only live empty under Huangfu Song.

Previously, Xu Rong was recommended by Liu Jian to accompany Zhang Wen on the expedition, and he thought that this battle of Liangzhou would give him a chance to shine and become famous in Xizhou.

But it turned out that Xu Rong's idea was wrong.

Living in this era, the gap between dreams and reality, and the leap of personal classes, really cannot be changed at will by relying on personal ability.

Zhang Wen didn't think much of him.

It can even be said that it is not important at all.

In fact, Zhang Wen can't be blamed for this, when he led his troops to aid Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, the auxiliary generals, captains, and Sima who followed him were the best military talents among the counties.

Among them, there are no longer a few people who are privately recommended by local county guards or ministers of the DPRK and China.

In the eyes of a group of high-level bureaucrats, the battlefield process of the Han Dynasty is also a debt of human affection, and there are reasons to reuse or not to reuse anyone.

At least in the eyes of Zhang Wen, who was born in Nanyang County, Emperor Guangwu Township, during the period of leading his troops to the west, he had no reason to reuse Xu Rong, a person from the border county of Xuanwu County.

Until Zhang Wen was awarded the title of lieutenant and returned to Luoyang, Xu Rong did not get much opportunity to establish meritorious service in Xizhou.

In the end, together with Huangfu Song and others, he was sent back to Fufeng to station.

said that it was stationed, but in Xu Rong's view, this was a waste of time, after all, he was almost forty years old, and in this era of average life expectancy, in the eyes of ordinary people, three-quarters of his life had passed.

During this time, Xu Rong began to constantly reflect on himself, and at the same time, he also began to miss the old days under Liu Jian.

It's not that Liu Jian gave him much future, but he is also a person from the border county of Youzhou, and Liu Jian really promoted him and appointed him.

If you think about it carefully, this trip to Liangzhou is really not worth it!

After a lot of weighing left and right, Xu Rong finally made up his mind.

…………

Since the death of Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, the whole city of Luoyang has fallen into chaos, on the surface, the Yuan family seems to have benefited the most, but Liu Jian knows in his heart that things are far from being as simple as they seem on the surface.

In history, in addition to the two princes of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, other people in the Yuan family actually participated in the competition in various places.

Yuan Yi is Shanyang Taishou, Yuan Zhong is Peixiang, Yuan Xu is Jiyin Taishou, and Yuan Yin is Danyang Taishou...... Each can be regarded as a prince.

Although it is a little different from the current situation, in the routine, the Yuan family's current way of doing things has not changed from now.

In the eyes of the Yuan Chinese, their layout may have been very successful, and it was originally the same in history.

Yuan Shao attacked Hebei in Jizhou, Yuan Shu attacked Jingzhou in Nanyang, Yuan Yi plotted the Central Plains in Shanyang, Yuan Zhong attacked Xuzhou in Peiguo, and Yuan Yin attacked Yangzhou in Danyang..........

It seems to be full of stars, but in fact, such a layout is not firmly rooted.

is not a famous child, and he will definitely be able to become a hero in the local area.

The job of the local male lord really depends on some talent.

Coupled with the collapse of the most powerful Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Yuan family's industrial layout in history declined extremely rapidly.

Now the trend of history has changed, but the strategic layout of the Yuan family has not changed, and the people involved in this bureau have not changed.

Since the layout and executors have not changed, there is no doubt that the results will definitely not be much different from history.

After the expansion of power in the local area, the contradictions of the Yuan family will eventually become irreconcilable.

However, unlike in history, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were originally suspended between the north and the south, did it this time

Neighbor.

And the land of Hebei, in this era, will also be relatively peaceful because of Yuan Shao's southward movement.

This is conducive to Liu Jian's strategy of conscientiously operating, accumulating strength, and building high walls to accumulate grain.

……

The Tuntian policy began to be implemented in full swing in Jizhou, and a large number of displaced people who flocked to Jizhou were recruited as Tuntian guests by Liu Jian's government, and the Animal Husbandry Department coordinated the leasing of farm tools and ploughing cattle to Tuntian guests, and then divided them according to proportion.

The Tuntian policy is one of the most effective means to appease the displaced people and stabilize social stability in times of war.

Sure enough, with the issuance of the Tuntian policy, the number of displaced people who flocked to Jizhou and kept running to Taihang Mountain and Montenegro was greatly reduced, after all, if there was land to plant, and according to a certain proportion of grain, no one would want to rush into the mountains and pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers to do the murderous and arsonous acts.

……

The Tuntian pilot next to Yecheng has entered the busy farming season at this time, and today, Liu Jian led a group of subordinates to inspect back and forth in the newly reclaimed wasteland.

The people and Li Shu, who were busy in the fields, after seeing Liu Jian inspecting, all put down their farm work and ran to the edge of the ridges, raised their hands towards Liu Jian, and shouted, "Envoy!"

Liu Jian smiled and beckoned to them, and then asked them to hurry back to work in the fields.

Behind Liu Jian, followed by the pawn farmer, as well as Zhao Yun and Chu Yan.

After Chu Yan was captured alive by Zhao Yun, Liu Jian did not treat him for his crimes, on the contrary, he ordered people to treat him well and leave him in Jizhou temporarily.

Since the beginning of Tuntian, Liu Jian has often gone out to cruise, and every time he goes on patrol, he has to take Chu Yan with him.

He wants Chu Yan to clearly see the changes in the lives of these displaced people under his governance.

Chu Yan is also the same as Zhao Yun, a hero who came out of the low-level township, but his style of acting is very different from that of the Zhao brothers.

If it is said that the brothers Zhao Jun and Zhao Yun, who are really determined in Changshan, act loyally and righteously, then Chu Yan will repay his grievances.

As the number one person in the famous Montenegrin Army in history, the reason why Chu Yan was able to integrate the originally disintegrated Montenegrin Army is, to a certain extent, a proof that he is a charismatic person.

And after Cao Cao marched into Hebei, Chu Yan was able to immediately drive his troops to Cao, which is enough to prove that Chu Yan is a person who can understand the situation. ….

But since he is a hero with his own unique charm and a person who can understand the current situation, why didn't he devote himself to Yuan Shao's command during the most powerful period in history?

After all, it is because Yuan Shao, who is the spokesman of the Hebei Wangzu valve, has irreconcilable contradictions with the Montenegrin Army in terms of fundamental interests.

After all, the group of well-dressed giants represented by Yuan Shao made a living by suppressing and enslaving Chu Yan and other classes.

In fact, slavery is just that, but they can't even eat when they are enslaved.

The reason why Montenegro is Montenegro is that they don't want to die because of their excessive enslavement.

……

Not long after, Liu Jian took Chu Yan to the edge of a field and ditch.

Liu Jian put aside his skirt and sat on the ground, looking at the surrounding wheat fields with emotion.

Chu Yan stood aside, looking at the situation around her, and seemed a little confused for a while.

"In a few days, you'll be gone." Liu Jian on the side suddenly said to Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was taken aback when she heard this.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Jian who was sitting on the ground, and carefully observed his expression, but he didn't seem to be telling a lie.

"Let me go?"

Chu Yan was slightly surprised and said: "A certain person in Montenegro, although he is not a Qu Shuai, he is also quite prestigious, if you let me go back like this, aren't you afraid that I will rise up in Montenegro in the future and seek revenge on you?"

Liu Jian shook his head with a smile and said, "What ability do you have to take revenge on me?"

"Your Montenegrin army is just a product of the chaos in the world, and the people have nothing to cultivate and nothing to do, and now I have ordered each county to set up agricultural officials to recruit people who have no land to cultivate, thinking that the people are tun and the people of tuntian are exempt from service

Military service and conscription, within a year, the number of displaced people will inevitably be greatly reduced, and you continue to lose troops in Montenegro, what can you take revenge on me?"

Although Chu Yan is from a low background, he is not an uninformed person, and Liu Jian's method of Tuntian is indeed a great hope for the displaced people to find peace in troubled times.

The reason why the Black Mountain Army and Taihang Mountain are strong is because there are too many homeless, but when the number of homeless people gradually weakens, everyone can barely have a bite to eat, who would want to go into the mountains to be a thief?

In fact, the common people of the Han Dynasty had really low requirements.

They don't ask for much, as long as they have a bite to eat and can make ends meet, they won't rebel.

Liu Jian summoned Tian Feng, Tian Feng, and several people to continue to discuss how to expand the scale of Tuntian.

And Zhao Yun patted Chu Yan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chu, you come with me, I'll take you to see something."
