Kuai Yue surrendered to Liu Jian, and Liu Jian was a little hesitant about this matter at first.

To be honest, for Liu Jian himself, whether Kuai Yue surrendered or not meant little to him.

However, when Liu Jian turned his head to look at Xu Yu on the side, his mind changed, and then he said: "Since the different degrees have the heart to be obedient, I also want to be an adult, you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and follow me in the future." ”

Kuai Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank Liu Jian.

Xu You, who was on the side, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that Liu Jian actually accepted Kuaiyue.

He wanted to admonish Liu Jian, but Liu Jian had already agreed in public, what could he say?

Besides, he slapped Kuai Yue just now, and Liu Jian, who had already provoked him, was very dissatisfied.

No matter how arrogant Xu You is, he knows at this moment that he can't speak anymore.

And Xu You's complicated expression quickly fell into Liu Jian's eyes.

He couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

This is a very good state for him.

Nanyang County has just been recovered, and people like Kuai Yue and Xu Yu can stay and use it, which is also very beneficial to their future.

……

Wancheng was breached, which was equivalent to Nanyang County being breached.

Here, it is the hometown of Emperor Guangwu and the land of Longxing of the Han Dynasty, which has been seized by Yuan Shao for more than ten years and has not returned to the hands of the rulers of the Han Dynasty!

Now, Liu Jian, with the respect of the emperor's uncle and the prime minister, has won Nanyang County in one fell swoop, which is of great significance to the current Liu family and all the Liu clansmen in the world.

Compared with the same period in history, although the prestige and power of the Liu clan did not fall as badly, because of the chaos in the world, there were still some criticisms among the people about the legitimacy of the Liu family's rule over the country.

After all, this is an era of divine monarchy.

The emperors of the past dynasties have been infiltrating a kind of idea to the people, that is, the imperial power is a gift from heaven and the arrangement of fate, and those who can be emperors have been favored by the sky, so they can become the masters of Shenzhou.

It is true that the popularization of this kind of thinking does have a certain effect on the rulers, but once their rule is shaken or threatened, it will also shake the common people to their ruling identity.

After all, in everyone's ideological concept, since it is the power of the monarch, there is no reason why the sky will always favor a person.

It's like in the past ten years, because of the chaos in the world, the local separatist forces have formed, although everyone still thinks that the Han family is orthodox on the surface, but in fact, in the locality, especially in the south, many people have begun to feel that the Han Dynasty may have been abandoned by the sky, and the monarchy that has been granted by God for so many years may be time to change the family.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Jian, who represented the Han family, retook Nanyang County and included it in the territory of the Han Dynasty, which was very beneficial to the prestige of Liu's orthodoxy among the people.

Regarding this point, Kuai Yue raised it to Liu Jian after surrendering.

And after he raised this point, Xu You immediately admonished Liu Jian, hoping that Liu Jian would start to use the propaganda channels in his hands to publicize this matter in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Jian then asked Jia Xu: "How to publicize this matter?" ”

Xu You squinted at Kuai Yue, and then said: "Prime Minister, according to Xu's opinion, now that the Prime Minister has taken Nanyang County, the court is excited, the morale of the three armies is high, and the people's expectations for the court will also increase significantly, and the prime minister himself, as a clansman, is even more famous. ”

Xu You said this long paragraph, and the most important four words in it are "increase auspiciousness".

Liu Jian looked at Jia Xu and Guo Jia on the side.

I saw the two of them nodding to Liu Jian together.

Then, I saw Liu Jian laugh and said, "Okay, then act according to Ziyuan's words." ”

"Fengxiao, how to act in this matter, I will leave it to you, and let Xenodu follow you to assist you in handling this matter."

Xu Youshi heard that Liu Jian had adopted his opinion, and he was still happy.

Now that he suddenly heard it, Liu Jian actually wanted to hand over this matter to Kuai Yue, and his face suddenly fell.

How...... That's it!

……

……

Kuai Yue has just defected to Liu Jian's command, and he has not yet controlled the establishment under Liu Jian, and he has no actual power and merit at all, most people still have resistance and prejudices against him, so he and Liu Jian used their mouths to offer advice, but it was a little difficult for him to let him operate specific things.

So in fact, this time about how to publicize and set up auspicious Rui in the territory of the Han Dynasty, all of which were handled by Guo Jia.

After all, Guo Jia was previously the minister of assassination in charge of the military administration of a state, and he governed and merged the state all the year round, dealt with the major local families, and also dealt with the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the outside world, so Guo Jia's ability over the years has been extraordinary.

Arranging auspicious things in the territory is really easy for him, it is too simple.

Soon after, an auspicious heat wave began to set off in various parts of the Han Dynasty.

What is the yellow dragon in the sea, the real dragon has appeared, what is the white tiger in the deep mountains, what is the dragon turtle in the lake, where the morning glow is in the sky, and the purple qi is coming to the east.

Or maybe there's a phoenix somewhere, or there's a unicorn out of the mountain......

In short, it is a variety of small animals that represent auspiciousness, and they all begin to emerge in various famous scenic spots of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, the propaganda team under Liu Jian advocated in the Han Dynasty, and only linked this shareholder trend with Liu Jian's seizure of Nanyang County and its return to the rule of the imperial court, and turned the matter of Nanyang County into a great opportunity for the stability of the Liu family and the eternal future.

In the Han Dynasty more than 1,800 years ago, this kind of thing was very convincing.

Most ordinary people have never read a book, and superstition is still very serious.

The appearance of these auspicious little animals really makes these ordinary people feel that the world is really going for the better.

This world really has to be Liu's world!

Also, today's prime minister is really a real hero who can save all the people from fire and water, a real talent!

The incident in Nanyang County was really a milestone for the imperial court.

It is of great significance for the Liu clan to reinvigorate the Han Dynasty and reconsolidate the ruling power of the Han family.

But compared to Yuan Shao and these people, this matter is too big a blow to them.

Yuan Shao had previously lost a large number of troops in Nanyang County, although in addition to Nanyang County, he still had Runan County and other large counties in Jingzhou as his population supply base.

However, the loss of the capital of Nanyang County had a great impact on Yuan Shao himself, and many wealthy families and people in his jurisdiction began to question Yuan Shao's ability.

Moreover, the loss of the capital also made the morale of the entire Jingzhou side not high, and everyone questioned Yuan Shao's ability.

Especially now that Yuan Shao doesn't have the time or the energy to manage these people, because the blow caused by this incident to him is also very huge.

After returning to Xiangyang City, Yuan Shao directly collapsed.

He hid in his mansion, saw no one, and only indulged in drunken dreams every day.

And his third son Yuan Shang and eldest son Yuan Tan also rushed back to Xiangyang City at this moment.

After seeing Yuan Shao, the three sons cried and worshiped on the ground together.

Yuan Shao looked at the three of them back and forth, and his eyes fell on Yuan Tan's body.

"How did you come back too?"

Facing Yuan Shao's sharp gaze, Yuan Tan hurriedly said: "After the child saw Uncle Highway, he was worried about his father's safety, so he asked Sun Bofu to lead the troops to Nanyang County to rescue him, and on the other hand, he came to Nanjun, thinking that if his father's frontline war was unfavorable, the child could also urge the local soldiers and horses to go north to meet his father in Nanjun and ensure his father's well......-being."

"Oh? Is it? ”

Yuan Shao sneered a few times and didn't say anything.

After all, he is also an old man who has been up and down in officialdom and has dominated the world for more than ten years, how can Yuan Tan's tricks and thoughts escape Yuan Shao's eyes.

However, he did not directly blame Yuan Tan.

To be honest, Yuan Shao can't blame Yuan Tan for this, compare his heart to his heart, wasn't he like this when he was young?

For the inheritance of the family's great cause, he even gave his brother Yuan Ji a yin.

Therefore, knowing that Yuan Tan had the same thoughts as himself back then, Yuan Shao couldn't make any ruthless decisions after all.

He looked back and forth at the three sons in front of him, and finally sighed helplessly.

"That's it, that's it...... I am not a sage, and you are not a son. ”

"Tan'er, Xi'er, you two have to step aside, I have something to say to Shang'er."

As soon as these words came out, there was nothing wrong with Yuan Xi, and Yuan Tan's heart trembled slightly.

He seemed to have sensed something.

But even if he could feel something, what could he do?

……

……

After Liu Jian occupied Nanyang County, he began to promulgate the imperial decrees in Nanyang County.

As the center of the world and the most prosperous county of the Han Dynasty in the past, Nanyang County fulfilled Liu Jian's new policy, which was of extraordinary significance to the entire Han Dynasty.

Imperial examinations, fields, taxation and other systems, Nanyang County all began to implement the new policies of the imperial court.

At the same time, in terms of population and fertility, Nanyang County also began to implement new policies.

For the kings of all dynasties, population is the top priority, for the monarch, people are the productive forces, and only population is the most important support for a country.

However, most of the policy adjustments of the Han Dynasty's successive kings in terms of population growth were characterized by oppression and persecution.

Starting from Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he would force the people to marry and have children through various means such as taxes.

But Liu Jian is different.

Liu Jian encouraged childbearing, and since he arrived in Hebei, he has always encouraged more children and more children.

However, if there is a child in the people, whether it is a boy or a girl, the local township government offices must send people to celebrate the door, and if it is a second or third child, the government office will also give a certain amount of money, meat and cloth.

Moreover, Liu Jian not only values men, but also attaches great importance to the population growth of women.

Hebei Ta Kung Pao has repeatedly issued announcements on the female population, attaching importance to the number of female population, and repeatedly emphasizing that women are the cornerstone of the family, and without women, how can they have children.

Since ancient times, patriarchy has been preferenced.

Especially in this era of war and chaos, many families who cannot afford to raise children choose to abandon their baby girls or throw them into the river to drown.

The Hebei government office has vigorously grasped the bad practice of drowning female infants, but whenever it is found that there are places where female babies have been drowned, local grassroots officials will be removed from their posts, investigated, and severely punished.

In order to protect female infants, the Hanoi government office has raised the reward for giving birth to a female baby to the same level as a male baby, and severely punished those who are found to have drowned a female baby, so as to protect the survival rate of female infants.

Of course, Liu Jian has been trying to find a way to deconstruct the imbalance of the population caused by the war.

He incorporated the entire population of foreign women who had been captured by war into the Han nationality, and then promoted Han men to marry Xianbei women and Xiongnu women to increase the number of Han Dynasty population registers.

Then let the local government register them on the spot, give them land, houses, and encourage them to have children, so as to increase the local labor force.

The Hebei government bureau will also give incentives and subsidies to families with many children under its rule, and give preferential treatment of tax exemptions and additional incentives when the number of children reaches a certain number, and the treatment is even close to that of military families.

For women who have given birth to a second, third, or even fourth or fifth child, they are even more praised and rewarded, which is typical.

In addition, in order to increase the success rate and survival rate of female childbirth, the Han government has gradually set up special maternal and child health hospitals in the townships under its rule over the years, and sent doctors or stable women with experience in female childbirth and rearing to be stationed in the country, and give certain treatment, so as to ensure the success rate of childbirth to the greatest extent.

In large cities, women are generally called on to give birth not at home, but to give birth in maternal and child health hospitals, and with the help of special personnel, to ensure the best possible sanitary conditions, so as to increase the success rate of childbirth and the survival rate of mothers and children.

The success rate of women's births and the number of household registrations of female babies have also become an assessment indicator for grassroots government offices.

For more than ten years, the northern region with Hebei as the center has seen a prosperous population and a gathering of young and old.

The population accumulated over the past decade or so is enough to make the North and the South worlds apart.

And now, this policy has finally begun to extend to the south through Nanyang County.

Nanyang County is the middle of the world.

If the new policy of the imperial court is implemented here, it will basically affect the neighboring counties on the left and right.

……

……

Liu Jian made a new deal in Nanyang County, and at the same time, the news of auspiciousness everywhere in the Han Dynasty soon spread to the southern states.

After the battle of Nanyang, Yuan Shao's vitality was greatly damaged, and his forward position shrank to Nanjun, completely turning from attack to defense.

According to the judgment of many discerning people, Yuan Shao is afraid that he will always be on the defensive within ten years.

In other words, can Yuan Shao last for ten years?

A lot of people are starting to be skeptical.

Yuan Shao's defeat, the first person to be most affected was Yuan Yi in Yizhou.

After all, he was born from the same root as Yuan Shao!

If Yuan Shao is defeated, he will not have any good fruit to eat.

Yuan Yi can be said to be very nervous now, and there are two other people who are also very nervous, one is Sun Ce and the other is Cao Cao.

Sun Ce's father fought with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court and was killed by Xu Rong, Zhang He, Xu Huang and others.

And Sun Ce himself is still a very ambitious person, he is unwilling to be Yuan Shao's little brother all the time.

In his opinion, he himself is more than capable of sitting on the side.

But now, Yuan Shao's situation has taken a turn for the worse, and before he can take revenge and sit on the side, he watched Liu Jian's power advance by leaps and bounds, and Yuan Shao suffered a huge setback.

Therefore, the young Sun Ce also began to be anxious.

In particular, Liu Jian didn't seem to plan to stop, after he took Nanyang County, he immediately began to display his elite troops to the east, preparing to capture Runan County! Put your hand into Yuzhou.

Liu Jian knew in his heart that Runan was Yuan Shao's lair, and after taking Runan County, it would once again have a huge shake on Yuan Shao's overall influence.

On the Jiangdong side, Cao Cao had already begun to do business with the north, and the two sides built large bazaars and trading posts in the Xiapi and Guangling countries, and at the same time the Jiangdong side also opened ports, which had already begun to be put into use, and only after a short period of time, the Jiangdong tribes saw the hope of prosperity.

But obviously, Yuan Shao's loss of Nanyang County scared Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't expect Liu Jian to be so fierce!

It doesn't seem like the time for me to stand on both sides.

But it was at this time that Zhuge Liang of Xuzhou came to Jiangdong to negotiate with Cao Cao on maritime trade.
