The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 131 The wedding is imminent
Under the admiration of the Order of Seeking Talents, Yuan Yao harvested Fengchu Pangtong, one of the top advisors of the Three Kingdoms, which made him very happy.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, under the theory of scholars, many people liked to judge people by their appearance. Pang Tong was relatively ordinary, but to be honest, he was ugly. He was not as good-looking as Zhuge Liang. In addition, he is not very famous now. There are often Chollima, but Bole does not often have it. .

It is for this reason that many people think that Pang Tong is an ordinary person without much talent, which makes Pang Tong's military talent buried.

That's why Pang Tong heard that Yuan Yao was carrying out the Order of Seeking Talents in Jingnan, so he boldly ran to recommend himself. Now Pang Tong has just turned 22 years old, and he is proud and arrogant, and he is also bold in his actions.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it came to March in 202 AD. The remaining cold air has not dissipated, and the people who are eager to plow in the spring can't wait to come to the field and start plowing the soil and planting seeds.

The plan for a year lies in spring, no matter how the flames of war spread, people always need to recuperate, even war is no exception.

Only this time, in Yuan Yao's jurisdiction, the scale of spring plowing was particularly huge. Whether it was in Changsha, Lingling, or Guiyang, both the common people and soldiers were constantly busy.

Due to Yuan Yao's generous treatment of others, tens of thousands of refugees flooded into the three Jingnan counties.

No matter how many capable people under Yuan Yao's command, the sudden influx of so many people will put a huge pressure on the finances of the area under his jurisdiction. Of course, the most difficult thing to deal with is the issue of land. The land of the three counties, Although it is wide, most of it is owned land, and the few remaining wastelands have been reclaimed in winter.

In other words, in the three Jingnan counties, there is not much land that can be allocated to the refugees for farming.

The wasteland has almost been reclaimed, and there is still some fertile land to reward meritorious subordinates, and there is not so much land that can accommodate so many refugees who poured in at once.

This time, tens of thousands of people flooded in, instead of the continuous migration of hundreds of people and thousands of people like before.

In the prefect's mansion of Lingling County, Yuan Yao discussed countermeasures with the county magistrates for this matter.

After the efforts of the county magistrates, only half of the tens of thousands of refugees who have poured in can be resettled. That is to say, the other half of the refugees will face the embarrassing situation of having no land to cultivate.

This half of the refugees is exactly what Yuan Yao and many officials are worried about. Once the refugees who come here with hope have no land to cultivate for their livelihood, there will be riots and even troubles.

Even if Yuan Yao could suppress it, the consequences would be disastrous.

When everyone came together, Yuan Yao ignored those vain rituals, went straight to the point, looked at everyone and said, "I called you here today just to resettle the more than ten thousand refugees. Now the land in the three counties has reached its limit. Even some desolate land should be reserved for rewarding meritorious soldiers, how should the rest of the refugees be resettled?"

As the head of the civil servants, Du Ruhui was the first to stand up and replied: "All the people who come to vote are all admiring the lord who loves the people like a son. There is a lot of wasteland between Guiyang Hanning and Qujiang County, where a group of refugees can be resettled!"

Qujiang?

Yuan Yao frowned, but shook his head. That was the junction between him and Sun Ce. Although Sun Ce hadn't completely pacified Lujiang County, it had already come to an end. There is a war, and the people are put there, and their lives cannot be guaranteed at all.

However, on the side close to Hanning, it is still possible to barely accommodate thousands of people, but in this way, it can only treat the symptoms, but not the root cause.

Pang Tong, who was sitting here, wanted to speak a few times, but he held back his words, obviously hesitant.

This scene happened to be seen by Yuan Yao. For Pang Tong, Yuan Yao still has a good impression of him. He is a man of action. What he says is never aimless. Since Pang Tong can't say it, Yuan Yao doesn't mind pushing him, laughing. Said: "Pang Tong, do you have any good suggestions?"

Yuan Yao pointed out his surname, and Pang Tong couldn't hesitate anymore. He got up and saluted Yuan Yao: "My lord, forgive me. It's just that I thought of a method in my mind just now. It's just that this method will cost too much, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement. Hesitant again."

Yuan Yao smiled, motioned Pang Tong to sit down and talk, and said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as you have an idea, everyone can talk freely today, as long as these people can be resettled, the cost is nothing."

With Yuan Yao's affirmation, Pang Tong finally let go of his worries and said, "My lord, in the land of the three counties, there may not be much wasteland left in other places, but Jiuyi Mountain is vast, but there is still a large piece of wasteland, and, as for Jiaozhou, The territory is vast, not to mention tens of thousands, even a hundred thousand people can be resettled, but there is a barren mountain, and if you want to resettle the people there, the money and food that will be spent must be incalculable."

Jiaozhou?

Yuan Yao's eyes lit up, occupying Jiaozhou was a plan that Du Ruhui had made before, all the generals in Yuan Yao's army knew about it, but these county magistrates who had just taken office didn't know about it.

Jiaozhou has a large land and few people, so it is a good place to resettle refugees. However, as Pang Tong said, there are very few people there, and there is not even a decent county town. It is still in an undeveloped virgin land. If you want to move people there, you must The continuous construction of cities along the way, as a protection, must cost a lot, but if it is really built, the benefits are self-evident.

After all, the larger the land, the stronger his strength.

When it comes to Jiaozhou, one has to mention the current governor of Jiaozhou, Shi Xie.Yuan Yao didn't know much about Shi Xie's deeds, so he thought about it, but instead of paying attention to the refugees' problems, he asked everyone: "Jiaozhou Shi Xie, how is he?"

Everyone was taken aback, not understanding why Yuan Yao suddenly switched to this topic.

Pang Tong was sitting next to Yuan Yao, but he heard the implication, and said with a smile: "Shi Xie, whose name is Weiyan, is a man of Cangwu Guangxin. Xiongchang a state, the prestige is supreme!"

Yuan Yao sighed, but didn't ask any more questions, just said to Pang Tong: "Since Jiuyi Mountain is vast enough to accommodate the people, you can order people to survey the places in detail, make preparations, and ask me for money and food. , but there is one thing, you only need to do your best to appease the people."

Pang Tong got the order, and retreated respectfully, seeing that nothing was wrong, Yuan Yao pushed everyone away, got up and walked into the inner hall alone.

Du Ruhui and Li Ji on one side looked at each other, but they didn't leave. They waited until the crowd had left, and entered the inner hall hand in hand. In the inner hall, Yuan Yao sat on a chair, and there were two empty chairs beside him.

Obviously, he knew that his two counselors would come.

Du Ruhui and Li Ji were not polite and sat down together.As for these two confidants, Yuan Yao didn't need to hide any more, he said in a deep voice, "Du Gong, military advisor, can you take Jiaozhou now?"

Du Ruhui smiled slightly, and said: "Jiaozhou has a vast land, and my lord can take it, it can be a land of money and food, and it's just the right time!"

Li Ji also said: "Nowadays Jingzhou is in turmoil, whether it is Xiangyang Liu Biao or Jiangxia Liu Bei can't take care of themselves, if the Lord can take the opportunity to capture Jiaozhou, his strength will be greatly increased."

Yuan Yao nodded with a smile. The two confidants agreed that he would attack Jiaozhou at this time. This satisfied him very much, so he asked again: "Then what do you think, how should we take it?"

Du Ruhui frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Zhang Jin, the former governor of Jiaozhou, was killed by the general Qu Jing, and he is now entrenched in Nanhai County. My lord can take revenge for Zhang Jin and go out to attack."

Li Ji also said: "Now there are tens of thousands of refugees here, the lord can use the name of reclaiming wasteland, and there are some elite soldiers among them, and send them to the junction of Jiuyi Mountain and the South China Sea to hide it from the eyes and ears of the district, and then wait for the opportunity to launch Thunderbolt hit."

Yuan Yao was even more delighted, and after discussing with the two for a long time, he selected elite soldiers from the Dingnan Army, mixed them with the refugees, and moved to Jiuyi Mountain together. Suspicious mountains and fields.

All of a sudden, when various places were busy with spring plowing, a group of ragged refugees, under the guidance of officials, gathered in Jiuyi Mountain one after another.

Pang Tong got the news early, and also sent a large number of people to survey areas suitable for farming, and arranged for the refugees to reclaim wasteland on the spot, but this time the reclamation was moving towards the direction of the South China Sea intentionally or unintentionally.

At the same time, many spies also took the opportunity to sneak into Jiaozhou to spy on the military situation in various places.

Originally, Yuan Yao was a little worried. After all, such a large-scale crowd movement might disturb the warlords in Jiaozhou and attract hostility.

However, since the end of the Han Dynasty, people have poured into Jiaozhou in an endless stream. That time it was not a flow of tens of thousands of people. This time, although there were tens of thousands of people, the scale was larger, but because Yuan Yao did not Let the refugees cross the border.

All the officials in Jiaozhou thought that this was just a large-scale land reclamation campaign under Yuan Yao's rule, and they never thought that Yuan Yao already had the ambition to get involved in Jiaozhou.

Under the eerie tranquility of Jingzhou, Yuan Yao's national land reclamation campaign was carried out smoothly. From Jiuyi Mountain to Jiaozhou, the large wasteland, under the hard work of the hopeful refugees, in the day and night Under the night's reclamation, large tracts of wasteland have become fertile fields.

The appearance of these fertile fields has attracted more people to go to Jiuyi Mountain to reclaim wasteland. Among them, there are many rich and powerful families. These people brought their servants to reclaim a large amount of fields and built countless manors, scattered all over the place. are distributed everywhere.

The elite soldiers sent by Yuan Yao are hidden in these manors.

Unless the South China Sea sends out spies to conduct in-depth investigations, however, the area that rules the South China Sea obviously has no intention of provoking Yuan Yao. Being able to occupy the South China Sea is already the most satisfying thing in his life.

However, the amount of money and food that Yuan Yao needs to spend on such a large-scale immigrant is also an astonishing figure. Fortunately, with the money and food subsidies to extort Sun Ce, Yuan Yao can barely maintain his finances so that he will not collapse. However, unless he waits for the autumn harvest and wants to It is impossible to send troops on a large scale again.

That is to say, after three years in the Three Kingdoms, he, Yuan Yao, can finally rest comfortably for a while, without having to tense his nerves and think about war every day.

To be honest, Yuan Yao was not a belligerent person in his heart, but the circumstances dictated that he had to fight, especially in his position, one step back would be irreparable. It can only be said that the situation forced him to do it.

If it is said that there are still people who can advise Yuan Yao on the matter of resettling the refugees, the other matter must be faced by Yuan Yao alone, and no one can help him.

The thing is, it's time for him to get married.

Originally, what he promised his uncle Yuan Yin was that once he gained a firm foothold in Jingnan, he would marry Qin Liangyu.

Speaking of which, at Yuan Yao's age, it is normal for a son of an ordinary family to either get married early or not get married. The so-called thirty-year-old is not only talking about career, but also marriage, even if he gets married at 40 , and no one is surprised, at most surprised.

However, the key point is that Yuan Yao is not an ordinary son of an aristocratic family. He is the descendant of the fourth generation and third prince, and he is a prince who controls the three counties in Jingnan. It is strange that he doesn't even have a concubine at such a young age.

Everyone doesn't like a lord who is obsessed with women, and they don't want the lord to be really not close to women, resulting in no successors. Although Yuan Yao is still very young, but there is no heir. Very dangerous signal.

This is even more so in the society of the family.

Catch the ducks on the shelves!
This was the helplessness that rose in Yuan Yao's heart. The only difference was that he, a duck, was very voluntary, but it was a pity that he couldn't give Qin Liangyu a grand wedding.

In ancient and modern times, taking a famous woman would bring endless troubles and family wars, but in ancient times, being able to take a famous woman would bring great honor to that man.

The so-called beauty deserves a hero, which is exactly what happened.

The wedding was imminent, and one night, under the dim starlight, Yuan Yao saw a maidservant in the mansion standing in the middle of the backyard with a resentful expression. There is a large black birthmark on the dimple, which greatly damages the overall beauty, otherwise, it must be peerless and enchanting.

Yuan Yao stared at the woman, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you that lady from Lujiang County?"

The maid Yingying bowed down and said in a crisp voice: "Little girl Zhen Jiang, I have met Mr. Zhou Mu."

"Uh?"

Yuan Yao was taken aback when he heard the words, and lost his voice: "Zhen Jiang?"

Zhen Jiang!

That's the eldest sister of Luoshen Zhen Mi, how could she look like this?Yuan Yao was inexplicably astonished. Although this girl was full of charm, the birthmark on her face was too terrifying.

The woman who claimed to be Zhen Jiang wondered, "Why is Zhou Mu like this?"

"cough!"

Yuan Yao asked, "Are you Zhen Mi's sister?"

Zhen Jiang asked in surprise: "Have you investigated the little girl in private?"
