In the winter of last year, Liu Bei adopted Zhuge Liang's suggestion to vigorously revive Jianghuai, and agreed to Huo Jun's request.

In December, Liu Bei issued an edict that if the old people of Jianghuai in Jing, Jiang, and Yang Prefectures were willing to return to Jianghuai, they should be allowed to return to Huai, and no official or official could obstruct them.

Huo Jun received the approval from Liu Bei, and immediately ordered Jiang Ji to supervise the political affairs of the three counties of Guangling, Lujiang, and Jiujiang, and be responsible for the return of the people of Jianghuai to their hometowns.

That is, to the fourth year of Zhangwu (222 AD), the first month.

Huo Jun woke up from the jade body and looked at the battlefield on the bed, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, feeling that he was absurd.

Last night, there was a banquet in the lobby for Jianghuai Wenwu, and the drinking was too enjoyable, so when I came back, I immediately pulled my sisters and concubines to the dark.

Since Huo Jun accepted Xiao Qiao, he has been quite interested in sister flowers. But how easy is it to find a dignified and outstanding-looking sister?

After all, beauty is rare, not to mention that sisters are beautiful to each other, and their appearance should be similar.

But Huo Du's identity is always different, and it only takes a little effort to get a beauty.

In the New Year's season, the foot trainer sent sister flowers to Huo Jun out of nowhere, and their posture was superb, and they were all beauties when they were brought out, not to mention that the two sisters were similar in appearance, and they were even more upscale.

Under the temptation of sinful beauty, Huo Jun couldn't bear it, and finally sank.

Through the torture of the 'stick', Huo Jun learned that the two sisters were brought for him by Mi Fang.

Ershu is a native of Zhu Ti and a surname Zhu. Born in a small Haoqiang family, because his father was suspected of participating in the rebellion, the whole family was served by Mi Fang.

Ershu is a rare beauty, Mi Fang originally wanted to give it to Liu Bei, but considering Queen Mi, it was given to Huo Jun as a New Year's gift.

Mi Fang lived a really nourishing life in Nanzhong, and during the few years of his governance of Nanzhong, the wealth of the Mi family grew like a snowball, and during his tenure, he directly completed the wealth accumulated by his ancestors for several generations, enslaved more than 10,000 people, and produced hundreds of millions.

The caravan formed by Mi Fang stretched from Longyou in the north, Jiangzuo in the east, and Jiaozhou in the south, which can be said to be all over the prefectures and counties of the Southern Han Dynasty. With the wealth accumulated in this way, can Mi Shi'an be rich?

The big family that can compare with the Mi family is estimated to be Liu Pu. It sits on a county's taxes, salt and iron, and it can almost be said that it can make money every day when it opens its eyes.

While sighing at Mi Fang's wealth, Huo Jun replied to Mi Fang with a letter and a few simple greetings.

Under the service of Ershu, Huo Jun went out to talk to Jiang Ji when he asked to see him.

When Jiang Ji saw Huo Jun, he handed over the gift first, and said, "I wish the governor a happy New Year, and then make miraculous achievements." ”

"Zitong is polite!"

"Happy New Year!"

Huo Jun invited Jiang Ji to take a seat, and said with a smile: "I drank a lot last night, and I am resting today, why do you get up so early to ask for a meeting?" ”

Jiang Ji smiled and took out a brief map from his arms, and said: "Huaimin is coming one after another, how dare Ji rest." ”

Spreading out the map, Jiang Ji pointed to the Qimen Ridge on it and said: "Ji discussed with the Taishou of Lujiang, thinking that the Qimen Weir could be repaired in Shucheng, cut off Shushui, and divert water to irrigate the fields, so that all the people of the Huai Lujiang River could be placed here. ”

Qimen weir is not re-excavated and built, and its construction period can be traced back to Liu Xin, the Marquis of Tangjie in the early Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Xin was sealed to Shucheng by Liu Bang, saw that Shushui came out of the steep mountains of the West Mountain, was like a building, stopped at the foot of the Qimen Ridge, blocked the river and built a weir, opened a canal and built a sluice, led the river to the northeast, carried the flat land, the branches ran through, and the irrigation field was more than 80,000 acres.

Not only that, Liu Xin also dug Wuyang Weir in the east of Qimen Ridge and irrigated more than 10,000 acres; Repair the Caozhi weir again, irrigated more than 20,000 acres. A total of more than 110,000 acres of irrigated fields in Qimen and Sanyan, about 2,200 hectares, are enough for 10,000 households to cultivate.

Although Qimen Sanyan is good, but like Dujiangyan, there is no government responsible for it all the year round, which will inevitably lead to the destruction of Sanyan, which is not enough to irrigate the fields.

The Huainan theory proposed by Xi Huofan mentioned Sanyan, but it did not meet the military needs of Huaidong and was shelved. Huo Fan proposed that the military tun land is in the area from Feishui to Hangou, and the middle water and lakes are all military tun land.

Now, in order to settle the old people of Jianghuai, considering that Shu County is far away from Shouchun, the geographical environment close to Chaohu Lake, and the rich water conservancy conditions of Qimenyan, Shucheng is the most suitable for the people who settle down and return to Huai.

"How many hectares of land do you want to open in Qimen and Sanyan?" Huo Jun asked.

"The three weirs are fully opened, more than 2,200 hectares, and 10,000 households." Jiang Ji replied.

Huo Jun looked at the location of the river weir on the map, frowned and asked: "I am afraid that there are less than 10,000 Huai people in my hometown, and more than 2,200 hectares of land have been opened today, so I am afraid that there will be a waste of manpower." It is better to open the seven weirs first, and then repair the black sheep and Cao Zhi two weirs to find the number of people. ”

In governing the locality, Huo Jun often worries that it will cause administrative waste. Today, in order to resettle the Huai people, embark on a large project, do not pity the people's power, if there are not many people in the hometown, it will definitely waste the people's power, and lose a lot of money and food.

"No!"

Jiang Ji shook his head and said: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, wars broke out all over the world, and there were no less than hundreds of thousands of Huai people who ran south to Jing, Jiang, and Yang. If Huainan is prosperous, will countless thousands of people return to their hometowns? ”

As he spoke, Jiang Ji arched his hand and said: "Governor, the world is effective in words and deeds, and the master is subordinate to the guest." If the governor wants to make the Huai people return to their hometowns, they can persuade Nandu Zhuqing to move to Huai. When the people moved, those who crossed the Huai people should return to the south one after another. ”

Huo Jun paced and thought about it, although what Jiang Ji said was simple, how to let the generals of Huaisi who were born in Nandu return to their hometowns and move back, it was not a small problem. However, if the middle and high-level Huaisi people do not return home and want to revive Jianghuai on a large scale, they are afraid that it will be empty talk.

Jianghuai is not revived on a large scale, and Huo Jun wants to go north to the Central Plains, and its logistics supply is a big problem.

"Let me write a letter to Bu Yangzhou!"

Huo Jun stopped and said: "Buyangzhou, Linhuai people, there are many Huaisi villagers on its left and right. If you can let the people of Yangzhou relocate to Huai, you can make a large number of Huai people and soldiers return to their hometowns. According to the general saying, if the upward movement is downward, there will inevitably be many people returning to their hometowns. ”

The Huai people take Lu Su and Bu Qi as the core circle, such as Bu Qi and Zhuge Jin, Yan Ji, Wei Jing and other Huai Si people. In addition to the Huaisi literati, almost most of the generals were under Huo Jun's tent.

Compared with the families of military generals who were moved to Wuhan, these county guards and state assassins often follow them. If Buqi is willing to take the lead in moving back to Jianghuai, most of those Huai civilians and martial arts are willing to move back.

"By the way, Lu Jiaozhou is a native of Guangling Hailing, and I will write my own letters." Huo Jun said.

Huo Jun's contacts in the Southern Han Dynasty, which had been operating for many years, were finally going to be brought into play, and he was ready to write a letter to persuade those Huaisi people who had contacts with him to move back to Jianghuai as much as possible, and he would take safety and acres as a guarantee.

Jiang Ji smiled and said, "I don't know if the governor wants to repair a single weir or open a third weir?" ”

"Open Sanyan!"

Huo Jun was firm in his determination and said: "If there are no thousands of people moving to Lujiang and Jiujiang, how can you dare to say that Jianghuai is prosperous? ”

There are about 40,000 to 50,000 people in 10,000 households, and if 40,000 or 50,000 people can return to the county in Lujiang and Jiujiang, plus the amount in Guangling, the household registration of the six counties in Jianghuai may exceed 300,000.

There are 300,000 people, plus the people along the left side of the river. Whether Huo Jun is out of Surabaya or Henan in the future, it is not difficult to ensure logistics grain and grass under the premise of waterway transportation.

"No!"

"Zitong, is there enough cattle today?" Huo Jun asked.

Jiang Ji shook his head and said, "Today, the price of Jianghuai cattle is high, and three or four cows are worth a horse. If you want to buy farming cattle, you may have to pin your hopes on Nanzhong. ”

"Good!"

"I should be a letter to Mi Nanzhong, so that he can squeeze out a thousand heads of cultivation and my Jianghuai."

Huo Jun nodded and said: "Zitong can let people cross the river, advertise the old people of Huai, and return to their hometown." Those who return to their hometowns will choose the best paddy fields and be exempted from land rent and taxes for one year; For those who return to their hometowns with two households, they can reduce or exempt land rent and tax for two years; Three households returned to their hometowns and were divided into one cattle, and the land rent and taxes were reduced or exempted for two years. Thousands of ploughing cattle, first come, first served. ”

South Africa is a purely agrarian society, where barbarians graze all year round, so they are not only rich in horses, but also produce cattle.

Mi Fang passed through Nanzhong, in addition to buying and selling slaves and war horses, he also sold cultivated cattle to Wu Chu. In order to attract a large number of Huai people to return to their hometowns, Huo Jun is afraid that he will not be able to attract too many people without bleeding.

"No!"
