Chapter 53 Quality Improvement
Xu Chong replied:

"Actually, it's not that small in comparison."

"Liu County Magistrate, you came from Huaiyang, and you also know how serious the drought is in Huaiyang this year. Our summer grain harvest in Huaiyin is more than 100 kilograms per acre, while theirs has almost no harvest."

Liu Xuan nodded and said,

"That's right. If you compare it to this, the tenant farmers in Huaiyin can at least make a living by working hard for a year."

"However, Huaiyin County has resettled more than 1 refugees this year. These refugees have no food stored in their homes. If the survival problems of the refugees cannot be solved, people may starve to death in Huaiyin in winter."

Although Liu Xuan has endless rice, this rice is also limited, only one bucket at a time.

As the number of people in Huaiyin City increased, it was impossible for Liu Xuan to provide food for everyone.

During times of food shortage, a few porridge stations are set up.

People are inherently lazy. If they are used to getting something without working, they will no longer have the desire to work.

The endless rice will only be used as military ration in the future.

Liu Xuan had been in a fighting state before, killing the county magistrate and Ji Ling, and then attacked Shouchun,
Now I finally have time to manage Huaiyin County.

The problem of refugees is an urgent problem that needs to be solved now.

[Notepad opens.]

[In 197 AD, Huaiyin County, you returned to Huaiyin after the war in Shouchun and began to manage Huaiyin's internal affairs. You found that there were too many refugees in Huaiyin city and there would be a food crisis. You decided to solve the survival problem of the refugees first. 】

[Trigger random mission: people’s livelihood issues]

[Task details: Solve the survival problems of the refugees in Huaiyin County. 】

[Task reward: entry*2]

The task is triggered and entries can be obtained again.

Liu Xuan turned around and asked Xu Chong:

"Xu Hucao, do you have any suggestions regarding the livelihood security of the refugees?"

Xu Chong's eyes moved, and Liu Xuan's expression didn't seem to be fake.

In the past, county magistrates would not care about the lives of these refugees at all.

Zhu Ting, the only county magistrate who knew how to manage the refugees, only wanted to catch the refugees to work as miners.

He thought for a moment and said seriously:

"Xu Chong has been in charge of Hucao for many years, and he has also thought of some methods, but he has never had the chance to implement them. Since Magistrate Liu asked about it, I won't hide it anymore.

"In my opinion, the newly arrived refugees can be arranged to reclaim wasteland outside the city. During this period of time, the government will distribute food."

"After the wasteland is reclaimed, the land will be taken over by the government as compensation for the grain."

"After that, the refugees can continue to cultivate these abandoned fields, and there will be a three-year rent-free period. When the abandoned fields turn into fertile land, they can pay rent normally."

“In this way, it can not only increase the area of ​​official land, but also ensure the basic survival of the refugees.”

"As long as they are willing to work hard to reclaim wasteland, they can survive in Huaiyin."

After Liu Xuan listened to Xu Chong's suggestion,
eyes lit up,
Cash-for-work?Wonderful!
He was originally worried that giving out porridge to the refugees would make them lazy.

If Xu Chong's suggestion is followed, the enthusiasm of the refugees can be mobilized.

"Okay, let's do it like this. You go back and draw up a plan, and then put up a notice in the city."

While talking, the two of them had arrived at Hucao's warehouse.

Xu Chong took the initiative to introduce,
"County Magistrate Liu, these are the wheat seeds that will be sown this autumn. The autumn sowing is about to begin. I am preparing to distribute seeds to tenants these days."

"Well, I understand," Liu Xuan nodded, pushed Xu Chong away and said,
"You go ahead and draft a plan. I can just look at it here alone."

Xu Chong left wisely, and Liu Xuan closed the warehouse door.

With a sudden movement of consciousness, he lifted an ancient box out of a hidden corner.

Improve the quality of the seed box and see how it works.Liu Xuan grabbed a handful of wheat and put it into the seed box and closed the lid.

[Notepad opens.]

[Wheat seed quality has been improved, yield has been upgraded, disease resistance has been upgraded, pest resistance has been upgraded, and drought resistance has been upgraded. 】

[Obtain: high-quality wheat seeds, estimated yield: 300-600 pounds per mu (as soil fertility increases)]

[The quality of wheat seeds has been improved, and similar items can be rendered. Do you want to render them? 】

"Rendering!" Liu Xuan responded following the guidance of the notepad,
As Liu Xuan's order was issued, a golden light appeared at the opening of the seed box.
The golden light covered all the wheat seeds in the warehouse.

The light faded, and Liu Xuan felt that the pile of wheat seeds in front of him seemed a little different.
It looks plump and shiny, exuding a strong wheat aroma.

[Rendering completed, similar seeds have obtained the same quality. 】

Liu Xuan put away the seed box with satisfaction. This seed box was indeed not a mortal thing.

Wheat seeds with improved quality through seed cassette,

The yield per mu can reach up to [-] kilograms.

You know, the average wheat yield in this era is only one hundred pounds per mu.

The output has increased several times at once. It can be expected that next spring's wheat harvest will definitely make Huaiyin's tenant farmers very happy.

After leaving Hucaosi with satisfaction, Liu Xuan returned to the county government office.

Zhao Liniang is already waiting here.

"Lord, the money in the treasury has been counted."

"Oh, so fast?" Liu Xuan was a little surprised.

Zhao Liniang pursed her lips and smiled,
"There are Arabic numerals and multiplication tables taught by my lord, as well as all kinds of magical formulas. It's hard not to think quickly. The other sisters in the army have also learned these skills, and counting is indeed much faster."

"How is the result?"

Zhao Liniang handed a piece of paper filled with words and numbers to Liu Xuan.

"The newly added five-baht coins in the treasury this time are about 5000 million yuan. In addition, the gold bricks, silver ingots and jewelry are estimated to be worth about 5000 million yuan according to the market price. Adding the original [-] million yuan in the treasury, the total is [-] million yuan. [-] million dollars.”

"so much?"

Liu Xuan was a little unbelievable when he heard this number.

How much money did Yuan Shu plunder in Shouchun? A total of [-] million yuan of property.
No wonder the three Liu Bei brothers were guarding the door when they left the city.

To transport so many five-baht coins to Huaiyin, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were needed to transport the money.

If he didn't have the secret corner of this dimensional space, he would definitely not be able to bring out so much money.

Zhao Liniang smiled and said,
"My Lord's attack on Shouchun this time is a risky move, but the benefits are huge,"

"Not only will we get hundreds of millions of dollars, but more importantly, Huaiyin will not be in a war for a long time."

"The Lord would like to take this opportunity to make Huaiyin our base camp."

"Once chaos breaks out in the Central Plains in the future, we can advance to attack and retreat to defend."

Liu Xuan looked up at Zhao Liniang in surprise. Seeing her talking eloquently, he said,
"Liniang, your strategic vision has improved a lot recently. How do you foresee that chaos will arise in the Central Plains in the future?"

Zhao Liniang smiled lightly, with a hint of wisdom in her eyes, and said slowly,
"It is said that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, not to mention that there is no danger in the Central Plains. Now there are four tigers hiding there. How can we live in peace?"

"Then tell me who the four tigers are?" Liu Xuan listened to Zhao Liniang's analysis of the situation with great interest.

Zhao Liniang is not shy either.
"Yuan Shaohu is located in the north of Hebei, facing Cao Cao across the river, while Cao Cao occupies the land of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and recently acquired Qingzhou. He is eyeing the north of the river. These two tigers are definitely incompatible."

"Liu Bei and Lu Bu have always had a grudge. In this battle of Shouchun, Lu Bu sent out troops and gained nothing in the end. With Lu Fengxian's arrogance, he will not tolerate Liu Bei for too long. Sooner or later, these two tigers will face each other with their fangs."

"In your opinion, who will take action first?"

Zhao Liniang replied decisively,
"Lu Bu."
