Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 68 The Rapid Development of Chenliu County
Nearly two months,

Chenliu County's villages and less taxation policies have attracted tens of thousands of refugees.

In addition to the aborigines and Yellow Turban captives Cao Cao moved from Dongjun, the entire Chenliu County increased by about 20 people!
What is the concept of 20 population?
Chenliu County is 530 miles east of Luoyang, with a total of 17 cities.

According to incomplete statistics, the entire Chenliu County has a population of about 70 to [-].

At this time, more than one-third of the people moved in. It was undoubtedly a great test for Chenliu County's public security management and population planning.

Especially the Yellow Turban captives in Montenegro,
Although most of these people who surrendered were old and weak and those who dragged their families and refused to fight anymore,

But some of them are bandits after all,
This made Lu Yan have to guard against it.

For the refugees from outside, Lu Yan took a voluntary approach to them,
Those who are willing to farm can participate in the folk village,
If you like to do business, then do business.
If you know some skills, then congratulations, as long as you pass the official assessment, you will be able to get a job with a good salary!

Lu Yan did not have the class thinking of ancient people, farmers, businessmen,

He knows well that the economy and military are the foundation of a strong country,

Commerce makes the country rich economically, industry makes the country strong military,

The development of these two cannot be separated from the activities of merchants and craftsmen.

Businessman is a double-edged sword, use it well to get rich quick and prosper the economy,

If it is not used well, it will be like a disaster for the country and the people.

But everything has two sides, and the necessity of its existence cannot be completely denied just because of the bad side. Therefore, business should also be encouraged, but the supervision of businessmen must also be strengthened.

Craftsmen are the most important part of promoting the development of productivity, so Lu Yan pays more attention to craftsmen than businessmen.

Of course, scholars and farmers cannot be left behind either.

It's just that the status of the four of them has undergone some subtle changes under Lu Yan's management.

It's not obvious what Lu Yan is doing now,
After all, sometimes reforms that are too advanced are not necessarily a good thing. We still have to consider the acceptance of the times and people's hearts.

If he doesn't care about drastic reforms when he comes up, it can only be said that he is tired of life.

What's more, the too radical approach is not in line with Lu Yan's style of fishing with pay.
Anyway, it's human-made, just push it when you have time, and change the method if it doesn't work.
As mentioned earlier, for the refugees who voluntarily came to Chenliu County, Lu Yan adopted a relatively mild and free arrangement.
But for the Yellow Turban population, Lu Yan took stricter measures and forced them all into civilian and military settlements.

All the young and strong population of the Yellow Turbans entered the military camp, plowed the fields during the farming season, and participated in training and brainwashing in their free time;
Elderly and weak women enter villages where the work intensity is lower.

In the first five years, ten taxes are five, and after five years, like ordinary people, ten taxes are four or even ten taxes are three.

At this time, the tax is generally [-] taxes and [-] taxes, and the black ones have [-] taxes and [-] taxes.

Once Cao Cao's "low tax" policy was announced, one can imagine its appeal to the common people who couldn't live happily ever after.

Lu Yan felt that he was a bit cruel to Huang Jin, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

Ordinary refugees often have all kinds of wrangling and disputes,
On the contrary, those Yellow Turban populations in Montenegro not only often help each other, but also have a very high enthusiasm for work, and their overall performance greatly exceeds that of the refugees.

After a little thought, Lu Yan understood the reason for this phenomenon.

"Most of the Yellow Turbans are ordinary people who can't survive. Only after experiencing despair, will they cherish the hard-won hope even more."

The captive Yellow Turban population thought that what awaited them was cruel and animal-like labor,
What they never expected was that they could still live a good life with fields and food!
It was based on real experience that the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans quickly recognized Cao Cao in their hearts.
Since there is a stable life to live, who is willing to rebel?
In the third year of Chuping, in February,
In the meeting hall of Chenliucheng government office,
Mao Jie was reading the latest statistical results for Lu Yan and Xi Zhicai.

What Mao Jie held in his hand was the tabular statistical method promoted by Lu Yan after Cao Cao agreed.

However, he did not disclose the Arabic numerals, but continued to use the form.

"From July last year to late January this year,
My Chenliu County attracted a total of more than 12 refugees, and moved to Dongjun County with a population of [-] million. "

Mao Jie paused, and continued to read:

"Current statistics have cultivated a total of more than [-] hectares of fertile land. I think we will not have to worry about food in the next few years."

Mao Jie only said that in the next few years,
It is because considering that Cao Cao's territory will continue to expand, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no food shortage due to too fast expansion in the future,
Besides, there are natural and man-made disasters, who can guarantee that there will be no shortage of food in the future.

Speaking of this, Mao Jie bowed his hands to Lu Yan for the first time and saluted:
"The rapid reclamation of new fields is all due to Changsheng's policy of village settlements and Quyuanli's reclamation efficiency!"

Before Mao Jie finished his sentence, Xi Zhicai clapped his hands and added:
"Not only that, Captain Lu also perfected the lijia system and household registration system.

Three persons over the age of 50 who are virtuous, knowledgeable, and respected by the public are recommended to serve as Jiazheng. Under the Jiazheng, there are ten more Jiashou to manage the affairs of one mile together.

The improvement of management and household registration has enabled the population under Duke Cao to be fully managed and recorded, and tax revenues have naturally increased. "

Xi Zhicai didn't mention the family, landlords, and gentry about the shady households here, but everyone was open-minded.

When it comes to Yinhu, I have to say more here.
Why was the population so small in the late Three Kingdoms period?

In addition to the long-term war that caused the population to drop sharply,
In fact, there are reasons why the Three Kingdoms gradually stabilized, and the wealthy families began to plunder the country's wealth wantonly,

One of the more typical ones is the shade household.

Shady households refer to those household registrations controlled by bureaucrats, nobles, landlords, and gentry in feudal society relying on their privileges and influence.

Whether it is tenant farmers or private soldiers, their existence will not be reported to the state,

Naturally, a lot of taxes and manpower also fell into the hands of these people,

As a result, the country will lose a large amount of tax revenue, and in the end it can only increase taxation, making it more difficult for ordinary people to survive.

Population is wealth, this is something that Lu Yan often mentions in his diary,

It can be seen from the actions of Cao Cao's migration of the people in Dongjun, and the actions of the captives packing away the population of the Yellow Turbans.
He has a positive attitude towards Lu Yan's idea.

Only when there are people can there be a labor force, and only when there is a labor force can the development of society be promoted.

Therefore, after referring to the Lizheng and Yellow Book systems of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Yan,

Combined with the existing system, a relatively complete and suitable for the current situation of the Lizheng and household registration system is proposed.

All systems must be adapted to current conditions and cannot be used invariably. As long as it is the most suitable for the current situation, it is the best system.

Xi Zhicai admires Lu Yan's system reform from the bottom of his heart.

Even Mao Jie, who couldn't get used to Lu Yan's tired appearance,
After reading the year-end summary report, I finally understood what Xi Zhicai said: "Changsheng looks at the overall situation and the situation"
To two hard-working fellows,

Lu Yan bowed his hands in embarrassment and said back: "You two don't need to do this.

Yan is just offering ideas,
It is you and countless grassroots managers who really realize the ideas! "

"Yes, there are countless people who realize their ideas.

But the only person who can think this way is you, Lu Yan! "Mao Jie's words are resounding!
Lu Yan raised his head and looked at this virtuous gentleman who had always wanted to "spur" himself,

for a while,

I don't know what to say
