The second general thought again, "The night is deep, you don't need to move the stove, you don't have to take anything." ”

"Especially dates." She quickly added.

There wasn't much to eat, there were dates, honey cakes, pickled crispy radish, and a pot of wine.

It is said that decent people divide meals, but the conditions in a hurry do not allow it, so they can only serve a few plates, plus three pairs of dishes and chopsticks to make do.

She diligently pushed the dates in front of the second general, took the plate of honey cakes herself, and put the pickled radish in front of Chen Qun.

Chen Qun stared at the dish of radishes and said nothing.

…… Now let's talk about the tribes and the outcasts.

"If you are frugal, you will have a good reputation from the beginning," said the second general, "and if those homeless people want to join the army, you can also choose some of them to enrich the army." ”

"Then why don't I recruit them as good men?"

The second general still hasn't understood, and is still trying to talk about the importance of the trilogy for the generals.

To give a recent example, once Boss Cao was kicked out by Yuan Shao to be the general of the expedition to the west, the Yanzhou army dispersed in an instant, but the veterans of the tribe who followed him in Ziqiao County were still there.

Their ancestors have followed him for generations, whether they live or die, their brains have fixed this string, and they follow him and Zhu Xiahou Cao and this group of people to the ends of the world, unreasonable.

"Do your ancestors have to follow me for generations?" She asked.

He nodded.

"Will their children, and their children's children, be slaves and servants?"

There was silence in the side room for a moment.

Someone picked up a piece of radish with a bamboo chopstick and began to bite "click" and "click".

"If you want your lord to take some money and food out to settle the displaced people here," said the second general, "it is not difficult now, and I will talk to my brother tomorrow." ”

"Now" is naturally not difficult, because the lord has just won Xucheng, not all the displaced people in Yuzhou have rushed here, and there are still many people who have not received the news and are still on the way.

But if they know about it and flock to it, something may have to go wrong with the money and food.

At the same time, the scholars of Qingxu ran over to buy houses, buy land and buy slaves, and the scholars of Yuzhou also ran back, and even fought a lawsuit for snatching these - didn't this become a matter of killing two birds with one stone?

Selling those homeless people to the family, and the family is responsible for feeding them, this is no longer a burden for Liu Bei.

Many officials definitely think so, not only many officials in Yuzhou, but also many officials in the Han Dynasty, and even thousands of years to come.

"And then, as in Qingzhou," she said, "they don't talk about their lives, and the state doesn't collect taxes anymore." ”

Chen Qun's face suddenly turned pale again.

"This time Ciyu is a homeless person, and he is more governed," he said, "and the government is not clear and unjust, so there are such officials." ”

She looked at Chen Qun and waved her hand politely, "Don't worry about it, after all, everyone is used to it." ”

Chen Qun's face turned even paler.

"Most of those who go back and forth to the county government to seek official positions are mostly people who ask for land and ask for help," the second general thought for a while, "If they are officials, they can be okay for a while, but I am afraid that they will be ...... for a long time."

Chen Qun also protested against this civil official system at the end, "If there is really corruption, there are also postal inspectors who can supervise subordinate officials, and the case will be examined and imprisoned, so as not to make the people unjust!" ”

Superintendent of Mail, Superintendent of Mail.

She picked up the honey cake and nibbled on it, thinking about it.

But the second general didn't know why, and suddenly let out a very short, very weird laugh.

“…… Two generals? ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing," he hurriedly waved his hand, "and what the long text says reminds me of some old trivia." ”

Chapter 483

The sun is rising again.

Liu Bei yawned and came out of the inner room, rubbing his eyes.

He got up a little late, but it was mainly because he had feasted on the guests last night, drank a few more glasses of wine, and slept a little late, and in his own mind, it was certainly not a profligate behavior.

Before he finished rubbing his eyes, he thought that he should drink a little soup for morning food, preferably tofu soup, add a little river shell to it, and sprinkle a little dogwood, so that it tastes fresh and spicy, and the most important thing is steaming, which can not only drive away the cold in the early winter morning, but also drive away the drowsiness, and also dispel the lethargy after the last bit of drinking.

This kind of calculation disappeared in an instant after rubbing his eyes and seeing the servant standing under the porch.

Chen Qun was waiting for him, and had been waiting for a while.

…… Liu Bei couldn't quite understand.

He walked around the city during the day yesterday to explore the living and living environment of the homeless people everywhere, Liu Bei knew about it, and later at night he heard that he followed Yun Chang to patrol the night again, and he also heard about it.

It seems that when Yuan Tan attacked Qingzhou, Chen Qun had settled the displaced people, so he had some experience and insights, and he had to walk more when he came to Xucheng, and only after understanding the situation could he start to assign the officials below to do things.

So in Liu Bei's heart, Chen Qun should definitely sleep in the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying at this time.

But not only did he get up early, but he also brought a roll of something, and it seemed that he had not slept all night.

“…… Long article? ”

Chen Qun bowed and saluted, "Lord." ”

The young man was wearing a gray-blue straight jacket, with two or three jade accessories around his waist, which shone with the same faint light as the jade cicada on the crown of his head, and the whole person looked cold and dignified.

But Liu Bei's first feeling was a little uncomfortable, as a prince who could interact with people very cordially and naturally in the face of court officials, wealthy families, soldiers in the army, and peddlers and pawns, he rarely felt this way.

But after all, he is a person with very strong willpower, and in just a moment, he has already suppressed many subconscious small actions - such as touching his hair crown, straightening his belt, and straightening his back.

After all, Chen Qun is a person who has one board and one eye, and always seems to be hinting to others, asking them to look at each other with him, and there can be no mistakes in his clothes or behavior.

Liu Bei still smiled and stretched out his hand, invited him to sit down, and asked him if he wanted to have some morning food together.

The answer to this is generally "no".

But today's Chen Qun was very different, he hesitated for a while and thanked him and agreed.

…… It's also unusual.

There are actually a lot of people who come to Liu Bei's mansion to eat in the court, the second brother and the third brother are the most common, Jian Yong and Xu Shu are also a lot of times, Lu Hangyu is not in Qingzhou most of the time, or not going out to fight, but as long as she comes to Xiapi, she is always not polite, and she will exchange food experiences with him while eating.

But Chen Qun didn't have it once, so Liu Bei looked him up and down suspiciously, and the young civil official who looked cold and dignified was a little uncomfortable.

When the servants went to the back kitchen to give orders, they could speak.

"Changwen patrolled the city hard last night, why don't you rest for a while?"

Chen Qun handed over the scroll, "For the sake of the homeless, I can't sleep." ”

Liu Bei flipped through the densely written strategy and began to read it word by word.

In fact, the content is not new, that is, it is recommended that the tuntian should be carried out on the premise of formulating wartime regulations.

Yuzhou has been destroyed, there is not much good land left, so it will be fought for by the family, but it does not mean that there is no field here, but those barren, even re-covered with thorns and trees of the land want to reclaim it takes effort, the wealthier ones disdain to reclaim, the scholars from humble backgrounds are not willing to reclaim, and the displaced people do not have enough farm tools, ploughing cattle, and seeds to reclaim.

In places where the population has plummeted and villages have been abandoned, not only thorns, but also wild beasts and bandits have grown, which are also not something that the homeless people can fight on their own.

Therefore, Chen Qun suggested that Liu Bei organize the displaced people on a large scale, arrange farm tools, ploughing cattle, and seeds for them, help them open up the wasteland, and re-establish the village, and divide the income in half, which can not only enrich the military rations, but also help the displaced people settle down again.

If someone has their own private cattle, they can be four officials and six people, and if the private cattle can be lent to the government, they can also earn another subsidy.

Cattle are the most important, because it takes at least two years for cattle to go to the field from breeding to fertility and then to maturity, and the cattle in Qingxu and Xu are also stretched and cannot be deployed on a large scale.

Farm tools and seeds can be allocated, especially in Qingzhou, there is a wise man named Zhuge Liang, the plough has been shortened and changed, much lighter and more durable, Qingzhou farmers have gradually used it, the effect is very good - Chen Qun wrote that now it is possible to suffer Tian Yu and Zhuge Liang, let them arrange craftsmen, make more farm tools to send over.

Liu Bei secretly wrote down the name Zhuge Liang in his heart.

Before, I only knew that he was good at making machine expansions, and he had improved some crossbow machines for Xiao Lu. Oh yes! His uncle is still a master whom Xiao Lu values very much, and he has worked so hard to invite back, but he didn't expect that there would be a very smart nephew!

It is also the year of the crown, Liu Bei thought, please come and see it one day, if it is really as outstanding as rumored, he will go out to eat and sleep at the same table, how can he also be brought to work for the Han Dynasty.

"However, if you want to be displaced from the fields, you will get half a cent," Liu Bei refocused his attention on this strategy, "I am afraid that after a year or two of stability, there will be people who will either flee or enter Haoqiang's family as a hidden household." ”

"I have considered this below," Chen Qun said, "as long as each household has cultivated the official land for five years, the official land will be recorded as the private land of the household, how about it?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Chen Qunfa for a while, not understanding how he could come up with such an unfriendly idea for the family.

During this period, the issue of land annexation did not matter, because the common people had already died, and the scholars had also died, so a lot of wasteland and mountains and forests were vacated.

But if everything follows the old way, the family's ability to resist risks and recover is much higher than that of the people, they can quickly buy houses, buy land, and buy slaves and maids from Liu Bei, and the desperate people can only sell themselves as slaves in order to survive, and become farmers or even hidden households for the family, and then snowball, the more and more the family's fields are bought, and after buying the fields, mountains, forests, lakes, and those free people have no land to plant, they will either starve to death or become slaves.

Then a new uprising began, and Tianjie stepped on the bones of the princess, and the family was stunned.

But in fact, it is difficult for these scholars to see their own faults, they will admit that they have exploited the peasants a little, but only a little, if the court does not exploit, relatives do not exploit, eunuchs do not exploit, if the layers of magistrates do not exploit, how can they force the peasants to rebel?

…… But this is their idea, because others will think, why only the scholars eat meat, and the emperor's relatives and eunuchs can only drink soup?

Chen Qun's ideas were not clever, and he couldn't even think of how to kill once and for all the reincarnation of every dynasty that would inevitably decline and land annexation would inevitably lead to turmoil.

But he still tried his best to use this method of "borrowing money to buy land", and tried his best to delay the pace of recovery of the scholars.

As long as the people can survive without relying on the family, as long as the family has to pay high taxes for their land and slaves, and the land of the entire Han Dynasty has been reclaimed, they will always have time to think of a way before the population is too large to have a place to stand, right?

What's more, Qingzhou's drama city school palace is gradually proficient in printing books, and there are more and more female officials from humble backgrounds, is it that one day in the future, those Qianshou who are struggling in the mud are also qualified to be officials?

There will always be a day when the gentry will protest fiercely, but is it still too late then?

Liu Bei was very emotional, wanted to say something, and finally patted his thigh and smiled.

"If you do what you say, although the Banshi people can't abandon me and go to Jizhou, they will have some resentment in their hearts."

Although he said this, there was no hesitation or embarrassment on his face, so Chen Qun's heart let go.

"Yuan Benchu was burdened by the Hebei family, and although he had many soldiers, he could not defeat the lord," he said, "If anyone is really short-sighted, he will regret it in the future." ”

"If I really defeat Yuan Benchu, it's not because he can't control the family." Justice to the Lord.

Chen Qun's eyes widened slightly.

"Why is that?"

"Of course, it's because my generals are invincible!"

The lord laughed, and the advisor at the head was silent.

It was at this time that the morning eclipse came.

There is a tofu soup that Liu Bei wants to eat, a soup boiled by river shells, with very tender tofu, sprinkled with some dogwood, served steaming in a pottery bowl, with a plate of pickled lotus root, eating crispy, very tasty, and it is also a hangover breakfast that Liu Bei likes very much.
