Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 41
After Liu Ce became the prefect of Yecheng, he began to immerse himself in the development of this city as a base.

If you want to get rich, build roads first!
Liu Ce divided the prisoners captured after each battle into three categories for labor reform.

The first category is young and strong, they will be assigned to build roads, build cities and cultivate land.

The second category is the old, weak, sick and disabled, who will be arranged to spin, weave and pick.

The third category is those with a little culture. These people will be arranged to teach and cooperate with the government's gentlemen to carry out ideological reform on prisoners of war.

Because Liu Ce has systematic rewards for food and grass, he is not worried about not being able to support these people at all.

Ever since, in just three years, the number of Yellow Turban prisoners in Ye City exceeded 60.

In Montenegro alone, 20 people have defected to him!

Why defect?
Because following Liu Ce, I can eat enough, and I can also farm and learn calligraphy.

Isn't this their ideal life after the rebellion?
Since surrendering can achieve this, why bother rebelling?
As a result, many yellow scarf thieves surrendered when they saw Liu Ce's troops, and even traveled thousands of miles to ask them to surrender.

So much so that Liu Ce had to post a notice at the gate of the city to advertise it.

The general meaning of this notice is that the prisoner holding capacity in Yecheng has been saturated, and those Yellow Turban brothers who are willing to surrender are invited to try Wei County.

At this time, Xi Zhicai had been recommended by Liu Ce as the magistrate of Wei County, and Wen Chou and Yan Liang followed him as chief and deputy captains.

In fact, Wei Jun has already begun to develop in the direction of Liu Ce's second base.

Army farms, civilian farms, and prisoner farms blossomed everywhere within the two counties.

The seeds of the crops they used were all redeemed by Liu Ce in the system.

Therefore, these farms not only have high yields, but also are not easy to get sick.

It’s just that the fertilization in the fields has not kept up, so the crops are not growing very vigorously.

To this end, Liu Ce brought together Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, Guo Tu, Cui Yan, Chen Lin, and Hua Qin to discuss issues related to "shit"!

In the prefect's mansion of Yecheng, all the counselors looked embarrassed, and no one was willing to speak first.

Liu Ce looked around and saw that everyone was a little embarrassed.

So he cleared his throat and spoke proactively.

"Everyone, don't feel embarrassed! A person's life is nothing more than eating, drinking, and messing around! What we're going to discuss now is just the issue of shitting!"

Tian Feng opened his mouth for a long time after hearing this, but he didn't say a word in the end.

It was Cui Yan who was more upright, and immediately spoke in response.

"What my lord said is very true. Regarding this... this issue of Lazard must be taken seriously. It will be summer in one month. If it is not handled properly, mosquitoes will be recruited, and diseases will easily breed."

Cui Yan expounded his views from the perspective of sanitation and epidemic prevention, meaning that he supported Liu Ce's reform on "shit".

Guo Tu rolled his eyes and hesitated before speaking.

"My lord, the reform plan you mentioned needs to consume a lot of money. Food and clothing are still a problem in many places these days. Isn't it a little... a little..."

Guo Tu didn't dare to say the final definition word, but a word popped up in everyone's mind at the same time - prodigal.

It is still a big problem to have enough food in other places, and now Yecheng and Weijun are going to implement "shit" reforms.

Isn't this just burning money?

Can't you use the money you spend to cure "shit" to do other serious things?

Thinking of this, everyone tacitly turned their heads to look at Liu Ce at the same time.

Liu Ce still had a charming and confident smile on his face.

"Everyone, those of us who are in the leadership must be forward-looking no matter what we do or decide! Those who solve current problems are talents, and those who can solve future problems are talents! I hope everyone will focus on Go farther, don't just look at immediate interests."

At this time, Xi Zhicai felt that it was necessary to stand up and help, so he spoke slowly.

"The latrine reform plan mentioned by the Lord is aimed at solving future problems, right?"

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this, because they really couldn't understand why their lord had to have trouble with "Shit".

"Why did this going out of the palace become a problem in the future?"

"Such an indecent thing, it's unavoidable that it's a little insulting to say it openly..."

"Think carefully about what my lord said, but it's not rude at all!"

"After standardizing the toilets, the smell in the city will be much less, right?"

Everyone said something to each other, but the discussion was a little lively in low voices.

Liu Ce saw that some people's minds were already enlightened, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said.

"What Cui Yan and Xi Zhicai said just now are correct, but they are a bit one-sided! The latrine has to solve not only the problem of epidemic prevention, but also solve the problem of insufficient fertilizer in farmland! I decided to form a health department, and the medical The pavilion and latrine will be the top priority of future construction.”

Hearing Liu Ce's explanation, some of the crowd quickly changed their minds.

The success of the village system is obvious to all, but the shortage of fertilizers has become a major problem for all villages.

Some clever people in charge even directly ordered the army to go to the fields to solve the problem.

Considering this aspect, toilets are indeed the best way to solve the fertilizer problem.

Seeing that everyone had no opinion, Liu Ce immediately turned to Cui Yan and said.

"Mr. Ji Gui doesn't have any official duties recently, does he? Why don't you take care of the Department of Health's affairs on your shoulders!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. After all, no one wants to take care of "shit"!

Cui Yan frowned tightly when he heard Liu Ce's words, but he had to listen to the lord's words.

"This... I can only reluctantly do what I can."

Liu Ce chuckled after hearing this, and then asked Que Chao to bring a bunch of drawings and bamboo slips.

"The specific implementation methods and toilet construction drawings are here. If you have any good suggestions, you can consult with me at any time. I will allocate you 1 taels of gold, 13 silver, and the [-] prisoners of war recently captured. Orders. Officials and troops in Ye County and Wei County must cooperate with Cui Gong unconditionally! Anyone who dares to disobey orders will follow the military law."

The last sentence Liu Ce said was cruel enough!

It was only at this time that the others realized that Liu Ce really cared about the "shit" thing.

That being the case, everyone dare not neglect in their hearts.

Liu Ce just solved the problem about "shit", but Que Chao whispered beside him.

After hearing Que Chao's words, Liu Ce immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then walked out quickly.

When walking out, Liu Ce asked Que Chao in a low voice about what happened just now.

"What else did Bi Lan say in the letter? Did you say why the emperor suddenly called me to Luoyang?"

Que Chao frowned tightly, shaking his head like a rattle.

"The little one didn't dare to open the letter, but just heard from the little eunuch who delivered the letter."

"Where is the messenger?"

"I'm already waiting for you in the study. It is said that the imperial edict is already on its way here."

"Then you go back quickly and let all the adults wait in the hall! In addition, notify the kitchen to prepare a lunch, and invite all the generals in Ye City to discuss matters."
