For Ma Tan's hanging, Soochow gave the greatest respect. After hearing the news, Lu Shu, the general of Wu who was in charge of the siege of Xiangyang, rolled up his armor overnight.

At this moment, Ma Tan's prestige has reached the point where the Jingzhou generals of Eastern Wu want to flee in despair. Such treatment has exceeded Hefei Zhang Liao, and in a few years, as soon as Ma Tan appears, Dongwu may abandon the city and leave.

So, Ma Tan went to Fancheng to fight a loneliness. In the face of the military pressure that had ended, Ma Jian could only return to Xinye with a scolding, ready to deal with the problem of the displaced people in Nanyang with Li Hui.

At this moment, Li Hui is still wearing a decay suit, although a year has passed, he still has a sad face. However, when he saw Ma Jian scolding and scolding back from Fancheng, he couldn't help laughing.

"Li Tingshi, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ma Jian stepped forward and saluted Li Hui and said calmly.

"In the past, Chengdu was goodbye, and we haven't seen each other for ten years."

"You've changed a lot." Li Hui looked at Ma Jian seriously, and Ma Yan, who was already dressed in military uniform, said softly.

After Zhuge Liang's conquest of Nanzhong, Li Hui and Zhuge Liang went to Chengdu to receive a reward. At that time, I saw Ma Jian was frivolous and dressed as a scribe, how unreliable he looked.

Right now...... It's like a different person.

"It's all forced to be helpless, and it's not enough." Ma Tan shrugged his shoulders and lightly revealed the matter.

"The matter of Li Yi...... I'm sorry I didn't catch up. ”

"It's okay, life and death are fate." Li Hui shook his head gently, and then without saying a word of nonsense, he directly spread out the official road,

"Since you have come to Nanyang, I just need you. Now Nanyang is no longer suitable for large-scale tuntian, so many displaced people can't afford to raise it, so they have to move to Guanzhong. ”

"You are from Jingzhou, you should be a little famous in the local area, you still need your help in these things."

"Wait, wait...... What does it mean that Nanyang is no longer suitable for large-scale tuntian? I'm a local, don't scare me. Ma Jian interrupted Li Hui's words and asked a little suspiciously.

The climate and land of the Nanyang Basin are extremely suitable for cultivation, and countless fertile fields can be cultivated. It stands to reason that this should be a good Tuntian area, but it is not suitable to get to Li Hui here.

"That's all the old yellow calendar, and now it's not an ordinary difficulty to get to Nanyang Tuntian." Li Hui rolled his eyes and said.

"But before ......"

"It used to be before, and now it is now, and you haven't been here for too long, and you don't understand it anymore." As he spoke, Li Hui spread out the map and calmly explained to Ma Yan.

Under Li Hui's explanation, Ma Jian roughly understood the specific situation of Nanyang.

The current Nanyang is roughly divided into three areas, Wancheng, Xiangfan and Xinye. Among them, Wancheng and Xiangfan are both frontlines of the battlefield, even if you are here, the people of Tuntian are not happy.

When the battle began, all the people fled.

The only one suitable for Tuntian is the Xinye area in the central part of Nanyang. The infrastructure here has been badly damaged, and there are no roads and canals.

In particular, the damage to the infrastructure on the Shinno front line was mainly not caused by war, but by deliberate sabotage.

This was again the handiwork of Cao Wei, who artificially destroyed the local infrastructure in order to prevent the future northern expedition of the enemy in Jingzhou from obtaining supplies from here. A large number of canals have been blocked, roads have been destroyed, and many fields have been forced to be ploughed by horses.

Historically, this is the period when Sima Yi was in power, and Deng Ai proposed and began to use the Kwantung power to Tuntian on the front line of Nanyang, Huainan. It took more than ten years for Nanyang to briefly regain a little popularity.

And because of Ma Tan's butterfly effect, Deng Ai went to the north to herd horses, Sima Yi went to Nanpi to retire, and Nanyang has been abandoned.

"It's going to take too long to reorganize here, and I can't afford to have so many displaced people in Nanyang during this period." Li Hui threw the pen aside, spread his hands and said to Ma Yan.

"Now there are tens of thousands of displaced people near Xinye, and these people can't afford to support them locally."

So what you mean is ...... Let them flee the famine? Ma Yan's brows furrowed, and he asked rhythmically tapping on the table.

"That's right, there is only one option now to encourage displaced people to flee." Li Hui nodded and affirmed Ma Yan's guess.

So far, Nanyang has been overwhelmed, and even needs Hanzhong to subsidize grain and straw every year to maintain. If so many displaced people are brought to open up the wasteland, the cost is not at all affordable for Nanyang.

On the contrary, on the Guanzhong side, although the land was abandoned due to the war, the canals and infrastructure are still there. In addition, there is a shortage of population in a large number of tuntians, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.

"So no matter how you look at it, it's the right thing to do right now. The only difficulty is how to empower the people to flee north, which needs to be done by you. ”

Li Hui's meaning was understandable to Ma Tan, but for a while, Ma Tan's face was a little more wry.

"And they will flee north to the famine...... These homeless people don't know how many more people will die. ”

"It's really in response to the old saying, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer......"

"When did you become sentimental? It's not like you. Li Hui raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ma Jian with some surprise.

"But this is also a matter of no way, what can we do about the evil created by pseudo-Wei?"

"Let's do what we are doing now, we don't have time to be as emotional as those Confucian students."

…………

Less than three days after the withdrawal of troops in Eastern Wu and the end of the Xiangfan War, the Nanyang Escape Law was promulgated.

As a native of Jingzhou, Ma Jian personally stood up and called on the displaced and homeless people in Nanyang. Encourage displaced people to flee north and go to Guanzhong to eat in Tuntian.

"Folks, there are frequent wars in Nanyang, and the government cannot organize the reclamation of tuntian. In addition, the puppet Wei wreaked havoc on this place before, and if you continue to stay here, you can only wait for death. ”

"But now that Guanzhong in the north has been recovered by the Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty personally organized Tuntian over there. As long as they arrive in Guanzhong, everyone will have enough to eat and a piece of land, which is guaranteed to support their families! ”

Ma Tan made a promise to the people in this way, and at the same time promised that the county towns along the way would do their best to provide food.

At the same time, Ma Jian also pulled Liu Xuan out and asked the prince to stand up and appease the people. And promised as the crown prince that the imperial court would try its best to ensure that there were fewer people who escaped from the famine.

"Your Highness, look at these yellow-skinned people, these are the subjects of the Han Dynasty." Ma Jian encouraged the people to flee the famine, and turned his head to look at Liu Xuandao.

"If His Highness ascends the throne and wants to enjoy it, let's recall today's events."

Liu Xuan's expression was also depressed, after all, everywhere he could see were unclothed victims, and he could see how bad their lives were just from their appearance.

Is this a civilian in the midst of war? It's really not human.

Just when Ma Tan took the prince and encouraged the escape in the name of the East Palace, an accident suddenly appeared.

In the midst of the chaotic noise, Ma Jian suddenly heard the sound of a crossbow being wound! As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, Ma Jian reacted immediately,

"Cover Your Highness! There are assassins! ”
