I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 371, The Struggle of Xi Zhicai

July of the fourth year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty (AD 193)
Qingzhou Plain City, Yellow River Ferry
This is where Xu Wei and Cao Cao agreed to exchange prisoners of war!Xu Wei came here with a battalion of 5000 soldiers, as well as 10 woolen cloth for trading!
Cao Cao's fleet took the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army.

The messenger was Cheng Yu from last time, and there were 3000 prisoners of war following him!

He came to Xu Wei and saluted: "Mr. Lei is in power, and the transaction is divided into 10 batches. We will release 3000 captives in exchange for 1 bolts of woolen cloth!"

"Let's start!" Xu Wei waved his hand and said.

"Okay!" Cheng Yu also waved to the soldiers behind, and 3000 prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army began to walk towards Xu Wei, and at the same time, Cheng Yu also brought the soldiers to carry the woolen cloth!
The actions of both parties are orderly and do not disturb each other!
Soon all the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army came to Xu Wei's side, and Xu Wei prepared 10 pieces of woolen cloth, and Cheng Yu led his men to load them onto the ship, and transported them away!
"Shuai Qu, I have let you down!" At this time, a man in prison clothes saw Xu Wei kneeling in front of Xu Wei and cried!

Xu Wei got up and realized that this was a letter from the Tengjia Army. He was the first group of troops to support the Yellow Turban Army!
Xu Wei patted Bao Xin's body and said: "You can persist for so long surrounded by big men, and you will be fine in the future. Now that you are home, you can have a good rest!"

And the troops sent out by the Gotoko Army came to Xu Wei one by one. After being captured by Cao Cao, they all thought they would be killed by Cao Cao, but they didn't think that they would be rescued by Qu Shuai and returned to Jizhou. Make many people weep bitterly!

Xu Wei also felt emotional for a while. At the beginning, he supported more than [-] soldiers in Yudu, but now there are only dozens of them alive, and the death rate exceeds [-]%!It is not easy for everyone alive.

Xu Wei waited for them to vent their anger and said: "You guys take care of your health in Pingyuan County first, and whether you want to work or farm in the future, I will make arrangements for it!"

Bao Xin said angrily: "Shuai Qu, Cao Cao killed many of our companions, I want revenge!"

Others also said angrily: "We want revenge!"

Xu Wei said helplessly: "Okay, you stay in Pingyuan County, and I will arrange for your subordinates to settle in Pingyuan County. When we attack Cao Cao, you will be the vanguard army!"

Then Xu Wei stayed in Pingyuan County and tried to find a way to resettle them. After all, there were more than 3 people, and it was not easy to resettle them. If they were unwilling to fight again, Xu Wei allocated them fields and land, so that they could live as ordinary people. Those who want revenge, put them into the army, and when they attack Cao Cao, they will be the vanguard!

At this time, Zhang Baiqi also approached Xu Weihui to report: "In power, Yanzhou, and Sili, people affected by disasters continue to pour into Jizhou. Up to now, there are more than 5 people, and the number is still increasing. Do we want to stop it?" They entered Jizhou?
Xu Wei smiled and said, "Didn't you dislike Jizhou's small population, and now that people are coming, you want to chase them away?"

Zhang Baiqi smiled bitterly: "Now Jizhou can't even support itself, but there can still support so many victims!"

Xu Weidao: "First put them in a centralized place, then take them to Tianjin County, Youzhou, and then take the sea to Liaodong. Now Liaodong is under great development and there is a shortage of people. These victims came just in time!

But tens of thousands of people are still affordable for the current Daqian!It happens that these victims can be used to enrich the four counties of Liaodong, and it can also reduce the number of people in the Han territory!After all, at the end of the war, the population is the battle. Obviously Yuan Shao has not realized this yet.

Xu Wei stayed in Pingyuan County for half a month, and there was a lot of news from Qingzhou, Yanzhou Sili and other places.

He found that Cao Cao actually came up with the Fubing system under his own pressure. He distributed the fields to the soldiers in advance, which was even more generous than him. He only allocated 30 acres of land in Jizhou, but Cao Cao's soldiers allocated 100 acres. The land, Xu Wei knew that in the future, the method of dividing the land by the big cadres would not work on the Qingzhou army, and they might even hate the big cadres, because according to the big gan system, they would have to take away 70 acres of land, and they would have to bear 3 acres. Narita tax!These alone are enough for the people of Qingzhou and Dagan to work hard.

What's more, the nobles in Qingzhou seem to be working hard, and they don't talk about mysteries. Instead, they work hard to train soldiers. Kong Rong, a great scholar of a generation, has become a general. This is simply beyond Xu Wei's imagination. Xu Wei It's hard for Wei to imagine what Kong Rong looks like with all his muscles!
And Yuan Shao is not idle in Luoyang City, he is stronger than Cao Cao, and the location of Luoyang City is better than that of Qingzhou. Although Luoyang City and Chang'an City say that there is no terrain that can be controlled by one man, but one has eight defenses. , a terrain with Hangu Pass natural danger is no better than Cao Cao holding a map of Pingchuan, it is very difficult to resist!

So his pressure was a little less, and most of his subordinates were members of the nobles, and it could even be said that Yuan Shao's power was a combination of the nobles!Naturally, it is impossible for him to use the method of equalizing the land. Even his Yuan family is the largest landlord in Runan, and if he really equalizes the land, he will give his own land to the average.In this world, it has always been easy to kill others, but difficult to kill one's own. Naturally, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to divide his own family's land!

Of course, he didn’t do nothing in the face of the pressure of the big cadres. The military system of the small government of the Eastern Han Dynasty with tens of thousands of people guarding the world is obviously not enough for this era. Yuan Shao and his advisers, combined with the system left by Dong Zhuo, Formulated a military system in line with the Si Li situation!

Soldiers recruited honest farmers from remote villages, and the commanders and corps chiefs were basically the children of the powerful clansmen. After all, every powerful clan in the Han Dynasty had many children. Even Yuan Shao had many down-and-out relatives. Now Yuan Shao’s method It is to let my down-and-out relatives take charge of these low-level positions so that they can control the army and not be easily bought by the big bosses!
The official positions such as team leader, head of the village, and military marquis are all the children of powerful gentry, Tai students, former officials of the aristocrats from all over the country, and the final senior officials above the army Sima are held by the core children of the aristocrats.

In this way, Yuan Shao passed the relationship between fellow villagers, classmates, students, relatives and friends.He controlled the entire army from bottom to top. At the same time, he used his power to have the advantage of Taixue, and there were many scholars. He let these scholars join the army, and used the Confucian ethics of three cardinal principles and five constant rules, and the hierarchy system of superiority and inferiority to share with fellow villagers. Yuan Shao's army became an army that effectively maintained feudal rule.

Xu Wei couldn't help laughing after watching Yuan Shao's military reform. This is not a copy of the Hunan Army, but this system is not as effective as Cao Cao's Qingzhou Army. The soldiers of Daqian are as powerful as a rainbow. Cao Cao needs to use 30 acres of land to make the Qingzhou Army have the determination to defend their homeland!

But now Yuan Shao is reluctant to part with the field, and thinks of using brainwashing methods to improve the army's combat, and there is no real use for it. Even if you invite Confucius to the Analects, it will be useless!

Seeing Yuan Shao's actions, Xu Wei decided to use Yuan Shao's territory as a breakthrough in the next battle.

Of course, this time is not the time for war. Taking advantage of the drought in the Central Plains, Xu Wei kept moving the victims of the Central Plains to Liaodong.

July in midsummer is the season with the most abundant food in Liaodong. The tribal people on the land of Liaodong and the savages in the deep mountains have begun to take advantage of this good time to collect winter supplies.

And this year they have a new destination, which is to go to the territory of the Han people to help the Han people do things, not only can they have enough food, but they can also get some food.Such a good thing caused the tribes and savages around Liaodong to come to the land of Liaodong to find work, and nearly 10 savages poured into the four counties of Liaodong.

For the officials of the four counties in Liaodong, this is a wild man who is as strong as a cow, eats less, does more work, and is a better labor force than a large animal. These people have brought a large amount of labor to Liaodong, and also brought Vitality, this is probably the first batch of wild workers in Liaodong!

At this time, a large group of immigrants with thousands of people was curiously walking on the official road in Liaodong!They are disaster victims from the Central Plains. After more than a month of relocation, they came to Liaodong.

At this time, an officer riding a horse said to these immigrants a little jealously: "We have already helped you build simple houses, and you can start to open up wasteland when you come to the reclamation area. We didn't have such good treatment back then, so you are enjoying the blessings." , the ruling government helped you with a loan of 30 billion, and helped you buy a large number of cattle and horses. Each reclamation site can allocate hundreds of such large animals. You are blessed! Although it is a bit late, but still If you can grow some vegetables, wait until after October to plant winter wheat, so you can harvest a batch of grain in half a year!"

The 30 billion Liaodong development bonds allow each immigrant to receive tens of thousands of dollars in resources. Naturally, the treatment of these immigrants has improved too much from before, so much that the first batch of immigrants are a little jealous.

After hearing this, the immigrant was also bursting with joy. For farmers, there is no better gift than big animals.

"My lord, is our land good? The governor said that the land in Liaodong is so fertile that you can harvest three stones of grain. You don't even need to fallow!" asked a sad middle-aged man. .

For the peasants of the Celestial Dynasty, the land is the most precious thing. At this time, the people who immigrated to Liaodong basically want this hundreds of acres of land. If it is really possible to produce three stones per mu as Xu Wei said, this is already It is comparable to the family of small landlords in the Han territory.

It is for such a piece of land that many farmers who have not left their hometowns are willing to take the risk to come to such a wild land!
The officer smiled awkwardly: "The land that has just been reclaimed will take some time to grow, but when the water conservancy facilities and chemical fertilizers catch up, three stones will not be a problem!"

This is Xu Wei's fault. He thought that there were black soils in the entire three eastern provinces, but in fact, the black soils of the Celestial Dynasty were mainly distributed in the Songliao River Basin, with a total area of ​​[-] million hectares.And Liaodong, which is now being developed vigorously, just happens to avoid the scope of the black soil.Only Gaoxian County can barely see a little black soil.

Xu Wei really wants the immigrants to really want the black land, and he has to find a way to destroy the Fuyu country. It happens that the black land is within the territory of the Fuyu country, but it is a pity that they basically do not farm the land, but fish and raise cattle and sheep for a living. What a waste of such a treasure.

The immigrants felt that something was wrong, but now that they have all come to Liaodong, how can they turn around and go back? Now it seems that they can only go one way!

The immigrants walked forward, and there were countless dense grass and lush forests. There was no trace of civilization in such a place. This made the immigrants more and more worried. Are they really going to a barren land?

After walking for half a day, everyone finally came to a small plain area. You can see facilities such as docks, roads, waterwheels, and canals, and even many people are busy building roads. This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Anyway, there are some signs of civilization, they are not going to a barren land.

"Scholar Xizhong, the people under your rule are here, so hurry up and receive them!" the officer shouted.

Seeing thousands of people coming, Xi Zhong dropped the shovel in his hand and said, "Everyone welcomes the newcomers, let's celebrate tonight, and continue to build roads tomorrow!"

That's right, Xi Zhicai who took refuge in Xu Wei. After Guo Jia left him, Guo Jia continued to travel to Xu Wei's territory. Xi Zhicai entered the political system of Daqian in the name of a husband. First, he grabbed classes and seized power as a teacher He became the village head in Jizhou in the name of Li, and with his talent, he made the village prosperous in less than half a year.

At this time, Xu Wei promoted the great development of Liaodong, and as long as the cadres who went to Liaodong could be promoted to a higher level, Xi Zhicai signed up to join the border aid cadres after he knew about it.

As soon as he came here, he became the head of the village in charge of thousands of people, and then he led the immigrants to reclaim wasteland, build docks, roads, water conservancy facilities, and even tried to recruit wild people around him to help him work.

In this way, Xi Zhicai led the immigrants to struggle for half a year, and finally established a small town in the wild land of Liaodong that is not inferior to many in the pass!The town with a radius of hundreds of miles has become the local economic center.

And he did such a good job, even if there is basically no one better than Xi Zhicai among the hundreds of Wubao, everyone around him admires Xi Zhicai's ability, and he has a high prestige in the local area.

Everyone cheered when they heard Xi Zhicai's words, and they can rest for a while.

Then they followed Xi Zhong to welcome these new immigrants to the simple wooden castle they built!Xi Zhong and others welcomed the new immigrants into the wooden castle!
Don't look at the small wooden castle, but the facilities inside are very complete, there are many medical halls, blacksmith shops, private schools, and even a tavern!The houses inside are neatly erected in rows in the middle of the wooden castle. It looks like a wealthy town!It is because of this complete set of facilities that Xi Zhicai has such a great prestige in Liaodong, even Liu Hu, the governor of Liaodong, has heard of Xi Zhicai's reputation!
Such an environment finally let the new immigrants breathe a sigh of relief. Although the environment here is not as good as in the pass, it is better than they imagined!
Then Xi Zhong commanded his subordinates to arrange the new immigrants in his house.

Xu Wei raised 30 billion funds, and the treatment of this group of immigrants has been improved. Not only will they have houses to live in once they arrive, they will even have simple furniture, half a year's rations, and various iron farm tools. Paired with a cow and horse to open up wasteland, it can be said that it is extremely considerate for the immigrants who came to Liaodong!
At this time, Xi Zhong approached the officer and said, "Deng Fang, find a way to get some savages to come here. I have too much to do here, and there are too few people!"

Deng Fang said with a smile: "The people you manage now are almost the same as a small county, and you still dislike the lack of people!"
