I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 406, Just Because Lei Gong Came!
The Battle of Beidi County shocked the whole of Xiliang. The heroes of Xiliang knew that Lei Gong was powerful, but they did not expect it to be so powerful. 2 people fought against 6 people, and the Xiliang coalition forces were completely wiped out in one battle, shaking the whole of Xiliang. The tyrants in Xiliang feel like the sky is falling!There is no one who can stop Lei Gong from occupying Xiliang!
Later, Han Sui surrendered to Xu Wei, which meant that there was no regular army in Xiliang to resist Dagan's occupation of Xiliang!

Longxi County, Hanyang County, and Wudu County surrendered one after another under the attack of Wang Lei's right-hand army. It can be said that Wang Lei's right-hand army completely conducted an armed parade and did not experience any war at all. Half of Xiliang was so easy. Captured by Dagan!

Although Daqian did not encounter too many obstacles in capturing Xiliang, this does not mean that the natives of Xiliang welcome Daqian. In fact, the entire Xiliang tyrants are in a panic. It doesn't mean that they don't know what Lei Gong is doing in Hebei, beating local tyrants, dividing land, public trial, killing gentry, Lei Gong will kill all the tyrants like them!

At this time, Xiliang is as strong as an ostrich, hiding in the dock of their own house tremblingly. Although they know that this will not be of much use, they can't think of other ways besides this!
And at this time, Han Sui's letter came to these powerful patriarchs, which brought them a glimmer of hope. It seems that Lei Gong didn't want to kill them all in Xiliang, otherwise Han Sui would not have sent them a letter and asked them to come to Linjing Discuss the stability of Xiliang!

Obviously Lei Gong values ​​the Central Plains more, Bing doesn't want to spend too much energy in Xiliang!

After thinking like this, Xiliang's tyrants finally felt more at ease. As long as Lei Gong still needed them to stabilize Xiliang, he would not kill them all!
Therefore, after receiving Han Sui's letter, the patriarchs of the major families in Xiliang brought their elites to Jingcheng!

At the beginning of October, the whole Dahan started the annual autumn harvest. Although the land of Hebei to the north of the Yellow River was also affected by the drought, because of the most complete water conservancy facilities in Dahan, the most advanced steel farming tools and struvite With the help of Liaodong Development, this year’s overall bumper harvest, this year’s autumn harvest alone has imported 10 million shi of grain into the customs, and this is still in the case of resettling 2000 million immigrants from Hebei.Obviously after two years of development, Liaodong began to show the potential to become a granary!

Now, the whole Daqian never said that the development of Liaodong was wrong, but admired Xu Wei, saying that he was far-sighted, and he developed Liaodong when he knew that the Dahan was about to suffer a drought, ensuring the food security of Daqian.

You must know that without the development of Liaodong, the entire Dagan will lose more than 5000 million shi of grain in the past two years, which is almost the annual ration of 500 million people. Without these grains, Dagan would never have survived the drought so easily

Thanks to the good harvest in the development of Liaodong, the autumn harvest in Hebei this year, while retaining the one-year rations of all the tribes, has a surplus of 6000 million shi of grain, which makes the surplus grain of the entire Dagan enough to satisfy the entire tribe for half a year The lowest consumption, this is the best news for Xu Wei, the grain reserves have finally started to grow slowly!

But in the south of the Yellow River, the autumn harvest was not satisfactory. Cao Cao learned the policy of working hard, dug canals, used bird droppings to fertilize the land, and tried to build fishing boats to catch sea fish. He managed to keep 7% of the food, but because he needed one and a half The state raises more than [-] troops. Although [-]% of the rations are kept, it can only guarantee that he will not have to support his soldiers at his own expense.

If it weren't for the comparison with Hebei, Cao Cao would definitely laugh out loud. In such a catastrophic year, Cao Cao supported hundreds of thousands of troops with only one and a half states. ability.

And Yuan Shao in the Central Plains is the worst. He has no coastal land, so naturally he can't get struvite to increase food production, and he can't afford struvite. In addition, the places where the drought is severe this time are Guanzhong and Yanzhou. It's all his territory. If Yuzhou didn't suffer too much drought, Yuan Shao would have to eat soil this year, but even with Yuzhou raising the average grain output, Yuan Shao's territory can barely keep 5% of the ration!

Fortunately, Yuan Shao has a strong foundation, and with only [-]% of the food, he can barely feed the people of the three states and the [-] troops. Of course, this is thanks to the support of the Xuzhou clan!Otherwise, even if Yuan Shao could keep the people of the three states, he would not be able to keep the army in his hands!

Among the princes of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was the luckiest. Although he suffered losses from floods, the food losses were not very large, not to mention that Liu Bei captured Yizhou, and Liu Yan's accumulation for several years was in Liu Bei's hands.

Central Shu was originally a land of abundance. In the few years after Liu Yan arrived, there were no natural disasters or man-made disasters, and there was no need to pay taxes to the court, so the official warehouses in Central Shu piled up like a mountain of food, enough for Liu Bei to enter the Shu army for three years!It can be said that Liu Bei has won this battle!

Thousands of boats of grain were transported down the Yangtze River to Jingzhou to relieve the disaster-stricken people!

Liu Bei even provided food from Yizhou to support Yuan Shao. Of course, Liu Bei did not support it in vain. He took away more than 100 victims from Yuan Shao and gave Yuan Shao [-] million shi of food.All these victims were arranged by Liu Bei to farm in Changsha County.

Yuan Shao could only watch as the number of people on his territory became less and less. The struggle for world hegemony depended on population, and this drought made Yuan Shao lose nearly 200 million people on his territory!Yuan Shao could only watch helplessly as people from all walks of life dug out his foundation, but he was helpless. Liu Bei was considered good, he dug away the people and gave them food and grass.Lei Gong didn't even give him a straw!
Of course, these are just the situation of the princes from all walks of life, and this situation is much better than the original history.

When this drought occurred in history, it was also the time when the Great Han War was the most intense. The princes of all walks of life were trying to find ways to fight, and no one cared about the lives of the people. The people of the Great Han suffered heavy losses in this drought!Nearly ten million people died in natural disasters and man-made disasters. The population of the Han Dynasty decreased rapidly due to this drought and internecine wars. Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou with only [-] soldiers. He could hardly maintain his power and wanted to join Yuan Shao.

Now that there is Lei Gong as the great enemy, although Yuan Shao's soldiers are several times more than in history, and the pressure is greater than in history, they still have to find a way to rescue the people even if they slaughtered all the powerful and noble families in Xuzhou.

This is not because their moral character is higher than that of the officials under Emperor Ling, it's just because there is Lei Gong in the big man. If they don't want to help the people, the people will turn to Lei Gong and even help Lei Gong to beat them!
But for the common people, it was a surprise for the government to help them. In previous years, even if there were no disasters, hundreds of thousands of people would starve to death, but this time, in such a drought year, not many people starved to death. The government actually gave them food and tried to find a way to keep them alive. This simply made the people of the big man overjoyed.

In the past few years, the officials of the big man have become more reliable than before, and they actually care about the lives of the common people like them, it is simply the master of the sky!

So although this autumn harvest is not satisfactory, it does not affect the living people to imagine next year's harvest. It has been drought for two years, and God will give people a way to survive. There should be a bumper harvest next year!The official master of the big man is not greedy anymore, he should be able to eat a few more full meals next year!
