I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 878
In the original history, it was because there were such powerful docks all over the place, which split the whole society and formed a manor economy. Only then did the gentry and the powerful merge, which dominated the historical process for the next two to three hundred years.

Although Zheng Xiaoming didn't know this, he also knew that these fortresses with strong defense forces, coupled with the rise of local tyrants with many private soldiers, were very detrimental to his rule.

Therefore, they directly drew their salaries from the bottom of the pot, mobilized powerful soldiers from all over the country, and formed state soldiers.Then use official positions to buy these powerful warriors.

At the same time, Zheng Xiaoming gave an ultimatum to the real and fake Yellow Turbans all over Qingzhou, strictly ordering them to disarm all their weapons and surrender obediently within three months, otherwise they would be rude to them.

Zheng Xiaoming's illustrious reputation was earned, and there were precedents such as land distribution and resettlement in Donghai County, so those refugee armed forces who were only wearing the Yellow Turban banner surrendered to Zheng Xiaoming within a time limit.

Among them are Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and other bandit leaders who led people to surrender.

Among them, the most famous one is of course Tibetan Ba. This person is from Taishan County, and he is rarely known for his force.It was after his father Zang Jie, the county jailer, was arrested and sent to prison because he offended the prefect.He was rescued by this Tibetan tyrant brother who led people to rob prison, and then turned into a bandit, gathering a large number of people.

This time the Yellow Turban riot, after Zheng Xiaoming issued an ultimatum, the Tibetan tyrant wisely led all the brothers to surrender obediently.

The other brothers Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Wu Dun, etc. are also in the same situation.On the contrary, few of the Yellow Turbans led by the serious Taipingdao surrendered.

However, they didn't dare to contend with Zheng Xiaoming, so they withdrew from Xuzhou one after another and went to Qingzhou next door.

Angrily, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou who had just taken office, cursed at him!
However, this incident also let the world see Zheng Xiaoming's great deterrent power.It's just an ultimatum to let the yellow turban bandits surrender and those who escape will flee.Let the whole Xuzhou be peaceful for a while.

This made the gentry and tyrants from all over Qingxu look sideways, and even more closely united by Zheng Xiaoming's side.

As for Zheng Xiaoming's next steps to seek land from local tyrants to resettle the refugees, they all proceeded smoothly.

Mainly in this era, land is not the most precious thing.

In this era, the population is at most [-] to [-] million, and it can be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are still many uncultivated lands.

So at this time, these tyrants can hold their noses and give up the land.

In the later generations, when the land is sparse and the population is large, those landlords are probably more important than the fields and lives!
Moreover, Zheng Xiaoming improved farming methods, vigorously advocated the planting of wheat, introduced rice from Jiangdong, and so on.

This has greatly increased the manpower consumed in farming... In the past, farming was very extensive, so that one person could serve more than ten acres of land.

But now, Zheng Xiaoming has improved the agricultural technology, fertilization, weeding, etc., which greatly increase the labor cost. It is very good that one person can serve five acres of land!

Of course, in this way, the grain yield per mu in various places in Xuzhou will also increase greatly, and in many places it can even increase several times!
This allows the same land to house more people.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a family of five needed at least a hundred acres of land to support themselves, pay taxes, etc.

Although agricultural technology increased, it was reduced to [-] mu by the end of the Han Dynasty.

But now, after being improved by Zheng Xiaoming, this number has been reduced by half again.About [-] to [-] acres of land can support a family of five.

There is still a lot of potential to be tapped. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were not many families with [-] to [-] acres of land... In the south of the Yangtze River, it is already very good for a family to have two or three acres of land. up!

In fact, what really changed Zheng Xiaoming's reputation and made scholars look at him differently was actually his agricultural technology reform.

In this era, there is no such thing as strange tricks or obscenity.It can be said that a saint can do this kind of thing that can double the yield per mu of land!
In addition, Zheng Xiaoming is capable of fighting, employs people with discipline, and is also a future relative.So more and more people are optimistic about Zheng Xiaoming.

Especially in Qingzhou next door, because of the rampant Yellow Turbans, they fled to the peaceful and safe Xuzhou.

For example, Hua Xin, Guan Ning, Wang Lie and so on from Qingzhou.

These are famous people, since they took the initiative to send them to their door, Zheng Xiaoming would not be polite, and directly recruited these famous people who came to Qingzhou.Let his screen expand again.

The only pity is that Chen Gong loves his family too much and stayed in Qingzhou. Otherwise, with his reputation and talent, if he joins him, he will make a lot of money!
In addition to these big celebrities, more small celebrities, some not-so-famous scholars, etc. have also come to defect.

Not only that, even his hometown in Nanyang has more and more people coming to seek refuge.

After all, relatives got rich!
Originally, although the Yin and Deng families in Nanyang were optimistic about Zheng Xiaoming and made some investments in him, they didn't really spend their money, at least they didn't fully support him.

Those who followed Zheng Xiaoming were all juniors from the Yin and Deng families. Now, the real storytellers of the old Nanyang families began to invest in the real talents within the family.

Zheng Xiaoming began to feel that he had too many talents under his command, that his official position as Xuzhou Mu was a bit small, and that there were too few officials in the mansion.

But the living can't be suffocated to death by urine. Anyway, the official position under the state shepherd has no fixed number of people. As long as he can afford the salary, then naturally he can set as much as he wants.

With so many talents, Zheng Xiaoming naturally would not let them idle, but instead spread his rule to the lower levels.

Try to go deep below the county level and really directly control the village!
At this moment, three people suddenly came to see Zheng Xiaoming.

When I asked what his name was, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, about Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide.

Zheng Xiaoming originally didn't plan to meet this kind of unknown junior in person.

At this time, those who came to see him were naturally seeking refuge and official positions.It's nothing more than arranging a small official post to get rid of it.

However, that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande claimed to be the clan of the Great Han Dynasty, which made Zheng Xiaoming chuckle.

At this time, Chen Qun, who was sitting next to Zheng Xiaoming, asked, "Why is Fang Bo laughing? There are so many clans in this world. Since this Liu Bei is not well-known, then he must not be seen!"

He was discussing military affairs with Zheng Xiaoming, so he said disapprovingly at the moment.

The other celebrities present all agreed and nodded.

Don't think that the name of a mere clan will have much deterrent power to these people. Just kidding, the big man has been multiplied for nearly four hundred years, and there are so many people with the surname Liu in the world?
Even if they are poor, there are not a few people who sell shoes and weave shoes.I have never heard of Liu Bei's name, so naturally he is not a famous person.What does this kind of person see him for?Delay important things for nothing.
