At dusk, the sky was darkened, and it grew darker as the night progressed.Rows of wild geese flitted across the sky from the south, making crisp chirping sounds.

Thick smoke was rising from the kitchen stove in the Han army camp, and the smoke drifted horizontally for several miles along the breeze, like a black belt, dividing the sky.

At this time, the gate of the camp was wide open, and soldiers of the Han army on both sides stood holding halberds. Yan Fei, the prefect of Jingzhao County, and important officials in the county walked in the middle of the road, leading directly to the Chinese army camp of the emperor.

The leader, Yan Fei, was neatly dressed, holding the county seal of Jingzhao County in his hand, and behind him, the chief historian, meritorious officer, master book and others presented the bamboo slips of Jingzhao County's population households, and followed closely behind Yan Fei.

Following the attendants shouted: "The country has declared, and Jingzhao descended to the account!"

Yan Fei and the others walked into the tent with their heads bowed, knelt down and placed the seal, and said: "Yan Fei, the sinner of Jingzhao, brings the officials in the county and the account of the population of Jingzhao County to His Majesty."

With a smile on the corner of Liu Chan's mouth, he got up from the couch, helped Yan Fei himself, and comforted him: "Why do you say you are a sinner? In my opinion, Qing has contributed to the great Han society."

As he said that, Liu Chan took off the county seal that Yan Fei was holding, tied it around his waist again under his surprised eyes, and said with a smile: "I heard from Lu Qing that Qing has governed Yin for more than ten years, and there is a reconstruction The merits of Jingzhao Chang'an, in the future, I will need you to continue to govern Jingzhaoyin on my behalf."

The place where Chang'an is located was always called Jingzhaoyin in the Han Dynasty; but in the Cao Wei Dynasty, Caiyin was changed to a county.As the successor, Ji Han officially changed the county to Yin, called Jing Zhaoyin.

There is no difference in salary between the county magistrate and the magistrate. The biggest difference is that one is the capital and the other is not.The meaning of Liu Chan's words is also very straightforward, to give Yan Fei higher honor and favor, after all, as the governor of the capital, his grace and status are different from others.

Yan Fei glanced at the emperor of Han with the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, and said respectfully: "I thank you, Yan Fei, for your country's kindness, and may your majesty live happily ever after and receive blessings forever."

Yan Fei also very politely changed the sinner into a minister, calling His Majesty.

Liu Chan came forward with Yan Fei on his arm, and said: "Give Yan Gong a seat here, and sit beside me. The rest of the ministers give seats to the left and right, and sit in the tent."

"promise!"

"Don't dare!"

Yan Fei sat down in panic, then stood up and took the bamboo slips with household registration from his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Please review the number of warehouses and mouths, the number of strong men and strong women in Jingzhaoyin, and the number of old men and women." , the number of the weak, the number of officials and scholars, the number of taxes and taxes, the number of cultivated fields, the money grain, the number of prisons, the number of horses and cattle.”

Liu Chan nodded slightly, very satisfied with Yan Fei's performance, and said: "Qing temporarily reports the number of household registration population, and the rest can be handed over to Guan Shizhong and Lu Shizhong for performance appraisal."

After Liu Chan finished speaking, Guan Xing and Lu Zhi, who were on the left and right, stood up and took over the confidential documents recording Jingzhao County from the officials of Jingzhao County.

Lu Zhi, who had completed the task of persuading Chang'an to surrender, was directly appointed by Liu Chan as a servant to ascend to the sky, which is the right to be the supreme ruler.

Yan Fei opened the bamboo slips, found the line that recorded the household registration, and read aloud: "My Majesty, in the 11th year of Jianxing (AD 233), the counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhaoyin include Chang'an, Chiyang, Duling, Zhengxian, and Lantian. ...there are 58 registered households with a population of 32 people...."

...

As Yan Fei continued to read out the numbers of Jingzhao County on the bamboo slips, the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Han army present all looked happy, and Liu Chan, who had always been calm, kept nodding his head.

Although Guanzhong experienced military turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty and has always been an important military town, it also had a period of peaceful development for more than ten years. At the same time, a large number of people were relocated from Hanzhong and Wudu to enrich the population of Guanzhong.Although the current population in Guanzhong is not as large as the hundreds of thousands of households and millions of people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it still has some signs of life.

As a wealthy Jingzhao County in Guanzhong, it is not bad to have a population of nearly 200,000. In addition to the Youfufeng, Zuofengyi, and Anding counties that will be attached to it in the future, the population of Guanzhong should not be less than [-].

"Your Majesty has finished reading. I wonder if Your Majesty has any doubts?" Yan Fei closed the bamboo slips and said respectfully.

Liu Chan thought for a while, and said the big man's current concern: "I don't know if you know the population of the other counties in Guanzhong?"

Hearing this, Yan Fei closed his eyes and muttered, clutching the bamboo slips in his hand, opened his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if the slaves and hermits are deducted, I estimate that the population of Guanzhong should be between 21 and 24. There are 3000 people in Jingzhao County, and there should be between 120,000 and 150,000."

"Huh!" Liu Chan exclaimed, "There are more than [-] people in Guanzhong, which is far away from the heyday of the Han Dynasty. But in troubled times, it is not easy to have more than [-] people."

The population of 30,000 people is too small for Guanzhong. You must know that Guanzhong has [-] counties, and the average is only more than [-] people, which is really too small.However, it is much better than Longyou and Liangzhou. After all, when Longxi County was initially established, such a big place was only [-] to [-] people, which is pitifully small.

Just when Liu Chan was lamenting, Liao Li acted positively and said: "Your Majesty, now that Chang'an is surrendering, you should pursue Jiang Ji quickly, and don't let him move tens of thousands of people into Tongguan. If he succeeds, there may be no one in the east of Chang'an." also!"

"What Liao Shizhong said is reasonable. Wei Jiang Lezhen also led thousands of people to take Wuguan Road, and wanted to move the people of Shangluo and Shang counties to Wuguan and enter Jingzhou. If your majesty does not pursue, I am afraid that the more than [-] people in the pass will lose tens of thousands. Humans too!" Lu Zhi clasped his hands and added.

Hearing the word Liao Shizhong, Yan Fei looked at Liao Li and asked, "I don't know Liao Shizhong, but Liao Li, is Liao Gongyuan?"

Seeing that someone knew his name, Liao Li said with a smile on his face, "Exactly, next!"

Hearing this, Yan Fei cupped his hands towards Liao Li, smiled coldly, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi pretended to be ignorant, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.Liao Li was puzzled by Yan Fei's behavior, and felt annoyed by his contemptuous attitude.

For Liu Chan, he didn't have time to worry about the three of them. Instead, he turned his head to look at Huang Quan, and said in a deep voice, "What Gongyuan and Shiying said is reasonable. Tomorrow, General Lao Cheqi will lead his army to pursue Jiang Ji. Be sure to keep the people in Zheng County, Huayin and other places, and not let Jiang Ji move away."

"Your Majesty takes orders! May I ask who your Majesty wants to stop Le Chen from relocating?" Huang Quan asked worriedly.

In the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao moved the people away in front of his eyes, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes today.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you let Boyue or Shi Zai lead the army, who would you choose?"

Huang Quan stroked his beard and replied: "Your Majesty, Bo Yue is too courageous and thoughtful. It is better to let him lead an army of [-] days and nights to pursue Leqi and prevent him from relocating. Auxiliary, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to leave the army."

"Yes!" Liu Chan looked at the ranks of military officers under the tent and shouted, "Where is Jiang Wei?"

"The end is here!" Jiang Wei responded.

"I command you to lead an army of [-] days and nights to pursue Lezhen and prevent them from moving to Shangshang and Luo counties to enter Jingzhou. If you can defeat Lezhen, try to attack Wuguan, or retreat." Liu Chan ordered.

Jiang Wei responded excitedly: "The last general takes orders!"

After a pause, Liu Chan glanced around and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, except for the former general's subordinates, the rest of the generals will follow Jiang Ji on horseback."

"No!" Everyone responded.

After speaking, Liu Chan looked at Wang Ping again, and said: "Tomorrow when the army enters the city, there must be no crime in autumn. Anyone who takes the property of the people without authorization will be executed."

"No!" Wang Ping replied.
