Uncle, please help the Han family

"cavalry."

"It must be cavalry!"

Liu Yu quickly figured out the direction, but was locked up even faster.

It takes a year for a military horse to be able to serve at the fastest, but the time left for him is only more than a year.

So there is no time to raise horses at all, and even buying horses from folk families is enough. After all, the number of horses needed is very large-at least [-]!

"How can I step on a horse to conjure [-] horses out of thin air!"

When Liu Yu was struggling, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Where can one get ten thousand horses?

Liu Yu raised his head slowly and told himself the answer: "Hu people."

Chapter 9 The State Shepherd of Flowing Water, the Iron Family

As an airborne official, it is necessary to have the necessary insight to grasp the factions that exist among the officials under him, or that will exist at certain times, so after several days of retreat and study in the study of the mansion, after basically understanding the current situation of Youzhou, Liu Yu notified the first morning meeting.

Similar to the emperor's early dynasty, the state shepherd, as the head of a state, will also have his own government office, and then conduct activities similar to the upper court from time to time.

Those attending the meeting were basically key officials with a monthly salary of more than ninety hu, that is, at least the county magistrate and school lieutenant. Fan and others are the main ones, and the rest of the people sit according to their official positions.

Because Zhao Ziyu was formally promoted by Liu Yu to be a school lieutenant, he is also eligible to participate in this meeting.

"Please don't read the agenda for the morning meeting." Liu Yu raised his hand and asked Zhao Gai to set the agenda for this morning meeting.

Although there is such a form, in fact, the officials have been notified of the content of the meeting before the meeting, which can make the meeting more efficient, and also allow officials with the same views to form a small group, and elect representatives to speak to save time.

Also, the meeting was not in the form of Mite Qing, where the boss sits and other people act as slaves and stand stupidly. All the officials sit on both sides, and the atmosphere is quite relaxed.

After Liu Yu gave the order, Zhao Gai got up from his seat, faced the ministers, moistened his throat, and said, "At this morning meeting, there are two problems that need to be solved. One is the remnants of the Yellow Turbans scattered in various counties. There are more than [-] people, the government is short of food, and cannot afford to support these refugees, but letting them go will disturb the law and order, or occupy mountains as bandits, or seize cities to gather crowds to rebel, and the problems of these refugees cannot be dealt with by lower-level counties, and need to be discussed. It is a good strategy to eradicate the refugees. The second is the protracted barbarian suffering. Youzhou has been suffering from barbarians for a long time. Almost every county has been plundered by the barbarians. It's still a draw, if we fight, how should we fight, if we fight, how should we fight..."

At the beginning of taking office, various problems came one after another, but the State Shepherd's Mansion, as the highest level of government in the state, needs to solve some fundamental issues, which is why Liu Yu decided to bring out internal and external troubles first.

"First of all, let's talk about the refugee issue. What do you think?" Liu Yu raised his head slowly and asked peacefully.

"The last general thinks that punishment should be strengthened, and these mobs should be moved to the north to build a city wall to prevent bullying." A burly, rough-looking general clenched his fists, and his voice was sonorous and forceful. Refugees can solve it, it kills two birds with one stone!"

As soon as the exiles finished speaking, an old civil servant retorted: "No, the Yellow Turban refugees are also Han people. The northern border is bitter and cold. It is considered lucky that one out of ten people exiled there can live. Arouse public anger. We should implement benevolent government and appease properly."

"It's nice to say, how can I appease you properly? There is not enough food for the court, and there are hundreds of thousands of rebels." In ancient times, there was no live broadcast of the meeting, so there was basically no consideration. Some straightforward generals faced different situations. The voice is easy to get offended.

"Refugees are still people after all. As long as the party leaders are eradicated and they are not allowed to gather together, there will be no more chaos." The civil official completely disagreed with the other party's point of view, so he directly advised Liu Yu, "We should let the counties The county resettled the displaced persons in situ, gave them acres of land, and encouraged farming.”

"Let the county government distribute the land to the people?"

"Why not?"

"The population and fields in each county are different. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans have fled to large counties with dense household registration. How can there be fields in these places?"

"There has been a famine in Youzhou in the past few years, and the population has dropped sharply. There must be some unowned fields. Even if there are none, you can let the refugees cultivate the owned but unplanted fields."

"Are you willing to give your fields to the Yellow Turban Thieves?"

"You...you!" The civil servant, who was caught one after another, blushed suddenly, pointed at the other party and said, "It's unreasonable!"

It can be said to be very real.

Although they are also officials, their identities are aristocratic families. In this era, "people-oriented" is really just a joke, because meat eaters don't care about the interests of the people at the bottom.

Of course, there are also those who want to solve the problem.

A thin, fair-skinned official stood up and said: "The government cannot afford these hungry people, but it is too inhumane to send them to build walls. In my opinion, it is better to let the noble families from all over the world take in these refugees."

Aristocratic family, a group that played risk hedging the most in the Three Kingdoms period.

The lord may change one after another, but as long as the family doesn't do it, it will almost never go bankrupt.

The one who spoke represented the family of Quanzhou (Quanzhou County, Yuyang County, not Quanzhou in Fujian) Chen.

Although the little brother of the Chen family spoke nicely, some people soon realized the essence and directly objected: "No, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was caused by the annexation of land by the clan, and the people had no jobs and were displaced. Now the riots have stopped. Let those common people go back to work as servants, wouldn’t that force them to rebel again.”

On point.

The essence of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is that the big landlord class annexed the land, the peasants lost their means of production and became servants, and were forced to rebel if their material conditions were not met.

As long as the clan exists, the peasant uprising will never stop.

Nowadays, returning the 30 refugees to the family, although it can solve the refugee problem, does not benefit Liu Yu, on the contrary, it can strengthen the power of the family, even if the Han Dynasty is really revived in the future, it will leave a legacy ills of descendants.

"If not, how should these refugees be resettled?" The descendants of the Chen family asked back.

"Then rush to Jizhou! Jizhou is a big state, and it is always richer than Youzhou."

Let's talk about it as a general who is chaotic and neutral.

Although this statement is immoral, it has also been echoed by many people.

So, the bullying started.

"My lord implements a benevolent government, which is why the people of Youzhou are willing to trust the government. Now that they are driving the people out of other states, isn't it the lord's injustice!"

"Youzhou is impoverished, how can these hundreds of thousands of people afford to support them? Anyway, they will starve to death anyway, why not drag them to build the city!"

"Thousands of 10 people have to eat to build a city. Where can they get food? Isn't it a perfect solution for the family to take in refugees for the government?"

"No! The Yellow Turban Rebellion must not happen again!"

Looking at these blushing guys, Liu Yu has always been calm.

Taking advantage of the gap in the debate, he said at the right time: "What everyone said makes sense, listen to me next."

After Zhou Mu opened his mouth, the quarrel stopped quickly, but they still refused to accept each other, until Liu Yu said the two words: "Juntun."

"Juntun?"

Juntun is a system established in the Western Han Dynasty. The state plans land and then allows soldiers stationed on the spot to carry out reclamation. It is a very efficient way of farming and can greatly enrich the treasury.

But what puzzled everyone was that this was a period of turmoil, and soldiers were in short supply to defend against the affliction, so how could there be more troops to farm.

Besides, what does the military settlement have to do with resettling the common people?

Zhao Ziyu, who has been thinking about how to solve these two major issues, did not speak from the beginning to the end because there was no good solution.However, she feels that although the methods of the adults are more or less extreme, they still focus on solving the problem, but the protagonist directly avoids this problem. What does it mean?

Zhao Ziyun's blue eyes revealed a confused expression.

Other civil and military officials also felt the same way as her.

Some officials even doubted Liu Yu's ability in their hearts. For example, the son of the Chen family felt that the new master was whimsical.

But Liu Yu, at this time, already has a plan in mind. He knows that his thinking is correct, not just talking on paper, because in the near future, Cao Cao, the hero at the end of the Han Dynasty, will take the lead in launching the farming system and use it as a national policy to stabilize the country.

"From now on, all soldiers over the age of 45, or those who are disabled or weak, will be incorporated into the Tuntian Army. At the junction of the three counties in Zhuo County, we will settle on the spot." While all civil servants and generals were thinking about it, Liu Yu ordered, "At the same time, all the refugees in the entire border of Youzhou, including those who fled from other states, will be incorporated into To the troops in the field, distribute farm tools, oxen, and work collectively, and carry out the military-civilian integration model of the field.”

As soon as this remark was made, all the ministers in the hall suddenly became enlightened.

That's right, the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers are incorporated into one army, and then all the refugees are assigned to the army for control, and the army and civilians are integrated into the farmland. It is only necessary to ensure that the refugees have a bite to eat, and all the rest Returning it to the treasury, wouldn't it be possible to streamline soldiers and resettle refugees at the same time?

Wonderful.

"Master." After Liu Yu promulgated the forward-thinking military-civilian joint settlement system, the children of the Chen family quickly noticed something was wrong, so they stood up and advised, "Zhuojun, Guangyang, and Yuyang are all Dajun, although the land is vast, there are still many private fields, and it is not easy to carve out a piece of land that can be cultivated by hundreds of thousands of refugees at once... "

As soon as the words fell, the reasonable guest agreed: "Yes, the lands of Guangyang and Zhuojun are all owned lands, but the places of Shanggu, Daijun, and Youbeiping have few people but a large land. Why not go to those places? Where is the local farming?"

"Yes, yes, it makes sense and makes sense."

Several people popped up all of a sudden and directly replaced the content of Liu Yu's plan.

This is completely expected by Liu Yu. After all, if a system is to be practiced, it will inevitably harm the interests of some people. Even if the land of the aristocratic family is robbing the people by disgraceful means, and the amount of land has far exceeded what he owns. To the extent that it is needed, it will not be returned to the people if it is left barren.

Of course, Liu Yu considered the questions they raised.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were three forms of land ownership. One is the feudal state land ownership system, which is public land, that is, the emperor’s private land. It is absolutely immovable land. The lifeblood of Tianlong people.The second type is the landlord land ownership system, that is, land controlled by aristocratic families, which generally adopts the production model of large manors and employs servants.The third is the land ownership system of self-cultivating farmers, which is the fields of the common people. However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the common people’s land was annexed by the gentry in various ways and became servants. The tax is already enough, and it can't be squeezed anymore.

If you want to farm, you must use the collective farming model, and the reason why you choose the junction of the three counties is the conclusion drawn by Liu Yu after several days of research.

Shanggudai County is mountainous, the land is barren, and it is close to the Great Wall. It is close to the Xianbei Wuhuan and other tribes. It lacks a stable farming condition, and the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in the army are not strong in combat. It will greatly affect the production efficiency.

Therefore, it is necessary to connect a piece of area for centralized management and far away from the fighting area.

The area at the junction of Guangyang and Yuyang in Zhuojun County is the best place to farm, and because it is more dependent on the abundance of sea water vapor, there is no need to worry too much about drought.

Therefore, Liu Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, answered the question of the Chen official very smoothly: "The acres of farmland are mainly barren fields and grass fields that no one cultivates, and they will not forcefully occupy an acre of cultivated land. After checking that the land belongs to private individuals, the government will replace it with land from other places. If the land is not needed, they can compensate according to the price. If this is the case, what does Master Chen think?"

"This..." Chen's official was embarrassed by the words, he knew that if he persisted, his selfishness would be too obvious.

But from the standpoint of the aristocratic family, the garrison system will do them all harm but no benefit.

To give the simplest example: the aristocratic clan robbed the people of their land, and then hired them to cultivate it for themselves. A small part of the food they got was given to the government, and most of it was kept for themselves, and then only a very small part was needed to feed the servants, or even feed their servants. It's fine if you don't die half full.

But after the implementation of the farming system, servants don’t have to be exploited by big landlords, and they can farm for the country. Generally, there are about [-]% to [-]% of the commission, and even more than [-]% for those who have private cattle. There are food reserves.

So, do you still want to be a servant?

Once this system is implemented, not only the refugees will be happy to settle in the army, but also those servants who are attached to the big landlords can get rid of the aristocratic families and join the farming with their families.

When Cao Cao implemented this policy in the early days, it also hit the aristocratic clan to a certain extent, but the gentry clan was too powerful, and the farming system was gradually destroyed in the middle and late stages, and the land was eventually returned to the aristocratic clan, which fell short.

"What do you guys think?" Liu Yu asked again.

"This move can indeed solve the problem of refugees, and it can also enrich the treasury. I think it is feasible."

"Yeah, it's a very good move, very good."

"Now the troubles of refugees can be easily solved."

Most of the officials present believed that the military settlement was feasible, and it was a very shrewd concept, especially the creatively proposed military-civilian integration model, which would solve the living conditions of hundreds of thousands of people at once, which was really wise.

However, it's not that simple.

A family of iron and steel in the state of flowing water.

If the new official does not feel a little resistance after taking office, it would be too rude.

After all, this Youzhou belongs to Youzhou people.

After the seven or eight officials exchanged winks, one person took the lead, that is, Master Chen, who spoke on behalf of them: "The remnants of the Yellow Turbans were originally refugees from various prefectures, but now they want to seize the fields of the people of Youzhou. My lord's move is probably... "

"It's barren fields and grass fields, how can we seize them?" Liu Yu interrupted directly.

"But both Zhuo County and Guangyang land are owned by the owner."

"Who is the Lord?"

After being questioned by such a soul, the young man held back for a long time before replying stiffly: "The people are the Lord, and the land belongs to the people."

"wrong."

Liu Yu, who has always tried to be elegant and easy-going, suddenly darkened his face. Looking down at these stubborn old forces, he said coldly: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land?"

Chapter 10 Stopping the Enemy Beyond the Great Wall

Is it the king's land under the whole world, the most politically correct moral kidnapping in Chinese feudal society.

Exercising all privileges in the name of His Majesty the Emperor.

So when Liu Yu uttered these words, the descendants of the aristocratic families were stunned for a moment, unable to refute at all.

Otherwise, are you going to confront the country?

And there is another point, when these words are spoken by Liu Yu, there will be an invisible coercion.

In Youzhou, the families of these adults are indeed prominent.

But how does it compare with Luoyang Liu's?

"..." The expression on that young Master Chen's face went from being free to stiff, and finally went numb. It only took three seconds, which was very funny.

He originally thought that Liu Yu was just a pampered son-in-law. Even if he had served as the shepherd of Youzhou, but now the situation is different, with internal and external troubles, so he would rely on the aristocratic family of Youzhou like Liu Biao, but he didn't expect to make such a move so viciously. , The first decree stripped the aristocratic families of their skins.

"If you have no objections, then use the strategy of military settlements to appease the refugees."

When Liu Yu proposed the strategy of farmland, most people actually agreed with it, and felt that Liu Yu was really a little genius who could think of this level.As for the jumping beams, there were only a few clowns who entered the ruling class of Youzhou by buying officials, so when they all shut up, Liu Yu directly made his first and most important decree.

Soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass. In this troubled world, having food is equivalent to having blood. Even if all the soldiers under him are wiped out, they can quickly pull out another army.

This point is much better than those warlords who rob the common people of food when they are full and hungry.
