Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 357 Development of Fishery
"It's inconvenient to talk here, Zhang Liang, you are familiar with this place. Is there a place in the navy barracks that is polite, spacious and secret?" Feng Yao still has a lot to say. It is not strict.

"My lord, in the naval barracks, there is a secret room specially used for military discussions, I wonder if it is possible?" Zhang Liang said.

"Okay, the secret room is better, you lead the way!" Feng Yao's eyes sparkled, and in his mind at this time, a plan to solve the people's livelihood has gradually come to fruition, and he can't wait to tell everyone, and in the next step day, quickly execute.

Xu Shu's eyes were also shining, he was already attracted by Feng Yao's words, and his mind was full of thoughts!
The same is true for Jian Yong. Along the way, he was almost thinking. At this time, because of Feng Yao's words, all the unresolved problems in his mind suddenly became clear, and his mind seemed to open a shining door. The gate, and the other side of the gate is a vast new world!
There was a hint of worry on the face full of pets, and the brows were slightly wrinkled.

Yang Wuze is more concerned about Feng Yao's safety and everything related to Feng Yao. Although he occasionally mentions some things about people's livelihood, he also knows that it is not his forte, so he simply And I won't worry about it, as long as I protect Feng Yao, everything will be resolved! !

This is a house closest to Yingshui. Unlike other barracks, this house has a yard, and two soldiers are guarding in front of the yard.

"Master!!"

"Master!!"

Seeing Feng Yao, the two soldiers immediately knelt down to greet him.

However, one of the soldiers swayed and almost didn't fall.

"What's going on? Are you sick?" Feng Yao asked immediately.

Feng Yao is very clear about his soldiers, if they can't even stand firmly, or their feet are not stable, they will definitely fail the examination, not only can't be a soldier, even a handyman who is lower than a soldier Go up, and this unsteady soldier is stronger than ordinary soldiers in terms of size!

Stand still, unless you are sick!

The soldier showed shame on his face, and after stabilizing his body, he clasped his fists and reported: "My lord, this subordinate is very healthy and not sick!" His voice was quite resounding.

Feng Yao was surprised, and when he was about to frown, he suddenly noticed that the posture of that soldier who was supposed to be kneeling on one knee was different from that of the other soldier.

Taking a closer look, I was shocked to find that the soldier had only one leg, and the other leg that should be bent to support the body was empty at this moment!
"My lord, he lost a leg in a battle!" another soldier explained for him.

Feng Yao's heart trembled, he glanced at the two of them, and suddenly remembered that these two soldiers were once members of the Tiger Guards! !

Not only that, but Feng Yao personally healed this injured Tiger Guard. Although Feng Yao couldn't pronounce his name, he remembered this face very clearly!
Perhaps sensing Feng Yao's suspicion, the tiger guard with a broken leg said loudly, "My lord, although my subordinate is missing a leg, in the water, my subordinate is no worse than others!"

Feng Yao was greatly moved, he helped him up, and said: "It doesn't matter, I believe in your ability, and, from now on, I will grant you a license to avoid kneeling and worshiping in the future!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!! But even if your subordinates only have one leg, they will stand more and more steadily!"

That Tiger Guard looked excited, his eyes full of admiration and loyalty.

Nodding to the two tiger guards, Feng Yao didn't stay too long, because compared with the two tiger guards, he still had more important things to do.

After entering the yard, Zhang Liang pointed to a room and said, "My lord, this is the room. The subordinates in this room purposely didn't leave any windows! It was designed for secrecy!"

Pushing open the door of the lobby, and then entering the secret room, Feng Yao nodded in satisfaction, and ordered two personal attendants to guard the door, while the other personal attendants were waiting in the courtyard.

Feng Yao, Xu Shu, Yang Wu, Zhang Liang, Jian Yong, and Man Chong sat on the floor.

"Everyone, you are all the most important subordinates under my command. You have been following me all the time, and we rarely stop. This time, we will really start to manage Yuzhou!! And we must manage Yuzhou well. , the most important thing is to solve the food problem of the common people, and we can talk about other things when we are full!!"

Feng Yao's voice resounded, sonorous and forceful, Xu Shu and the other five stared at Feng Yao intently.

"The transformation of Ruhu Lake is just to solve the problem of food for the common people. According to my prediction, severe drought and plague are very likely to occur in Yuzhou area! As early as last year, there were many cases of plague infection in the local area. Strict regulations were enacted, and doctors were ordered to develop pills to reduce the chances of the common people being infected with the plague!!"

"So far, good results have been achieved. According to intelligence from various places, the number of people infected with the plague in Yuzhou is much smaller than other states!"

"However, if our food is calculated based on the current stock, plus the newly added population of 50, the food can only be supported for another two years at most, and during these two years, this year we have already implemented the implementation of the law on most of the people. If the policy of tax exemption is adopted, I will not be able to collect food from the people until next year!"

"The transformation of Ruhu also made the land less, and some people lost their land because of this. Although we compensated a lot of money for the people who lost their land, this is not a long-term solution!"

Feng Yao quickly presented the current situation of Yuzhou in front of everyone. Xu Shu, Zhang Liang, and Yang Wu had a basic understanding of Yuzhou, but it was the first time for Jian Yong and Man Chong to participate in the internal affairs of Yuzhou. Hearing Feng Yao's words, the two There was a look of surprise in everyone's eyes.

If the situation is really as Feng Yao said, the prospects of Yuzhou in the next two years are not optimistic, it is no wonder that Feng Yao gave up continuing the campaign, but chose to negotiate peace with Liu Biao.

Feng Yao paused for a while, looked at everyone's expressions, and continued: "Originally, I planned that after Ruhu Lake was established, the common people could change from farmers to fishermen, so there was no need to worry too much, but today, I suddenly understood one thing!!"

"As a local, Cai Meng is quite intelligent. He was framed by villains and almost lost his family because of this. But around Ruhu Lake, there are a large number of big and small tyrants. Once Ruhu Lake starts to produce fish, these tycoons They will definitely use various means to erode Ruhu Lake for their own benefit and exploit the fishermen!"

"More importantly, the benefits obtained by these tyrants will not be handed over to us, and we may be facing a situation where we are about to run out of food at that time!! So I decided that we must form a fishing ground under our own control Come on, although this fishery is in the name of the government, it is not actually managed by the government, but we hire people to manage it and hire people to work!! I hope that this fishery will eventually control more than [-]% of the fishery in Ruhu Lake !"

"Only in this way, under our management, more people will be able to get life protection from Ruhu, and we will have more income to support our growing army!!"
