Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2122 Slapping the head

  In history, Yin Guan did not leave many imprints, but they are very important.

   This is a character who was buried in the vast dust of history, but now he meets Wei Yan.

   To put it simply, Wei Yan, who was in Zigui, committed an old problem and wanted to bring some people to attack Jiangling. But the problem is that from Zigui to Jiangling, without a boat, it is really difficult to travel. For the sake of concealment, Wei Yan has no way to say that he can walk as he wants, and he just ran into the scene of Yin Guan ambushing these overtime hunters in the woods .

At the beginning, Wei Yan thought it was aimed at him, but after finding out it wasn't, on the one hand, he felt that Yin Guan was interesting, and on the other hand, he also wanted to learn about the situation in Jiangling, South County through Yin Guan, so in the end Appeared to cook Yin Guan's hands, and "invited" Yin Guan to be a guest...

  In the historical records of the Three Kingdoms, it is very interesting that the three countries wrote their own, and after the unification, the information is not complete. And Chen Shou, who was originally an official of Shu and later became an official of Jin, undoubtedly had some hands and feet in it, and there was always something wrong with the places where small knives were used, either you can't touch here or you can't pinch anywhere, the skin is so tight Tight, as if it was about to explode at any moment.

   It's like Yin Guan.

After Yin Guan left that sentence that could not be ignored, he acted as Liu Bei's valet, and his position was even higher than Pang Tong's Zhuge Liang, but he disappeared without warning, without mentioning a single word, which is quite strange. nature.

   May be sick, or die in battle, or...

  『I have seen General Zhengshu. 』After seeing Wei Yan revealing his identity, Yin Guan greeted him politely.

   Wei Yan looked at Yin Guan, and then asked straight to the point: "How is Nanjun doing now?" 』

  Yin Guan didn't hesitate, and said almost immediately: "Nanjun is in great chaos at the moment. Jiangdong soldiers are stationed in Jiangling, looting everywhere to fill Jiangdong, corpses are everywhere, and the fields are barren." Nanjun's century-old accumulation is now destroyed. I came from the barbarian road, there is no one on duty in the city, and the city outline is empty, if the general wants to take the barbarian road, it should not be difficult, but..."

  『But what? ’ Wei Yan asked.

   Yin Guan replied: "If the general wants to enter Jiangling, there is something wrong. 』

  『Why? ’Wei Yan stared at Yin Guan and asked.

  Yin Guan lowered his head slightly, "If there is no one else, the epidemic will happen." 』

  『Plague? ! Wei Yan was obviously not aware of this problem before, and was startled, "Jiangling plague? Did you see it with your own eyes? 』Wei Yan’s personality can generally be regarded as rough and fine, but the foundation is still thick, and occasionally a little thin, it’s like water with minerals added under the signboard of natural water, selling small money that is superior to others, but The foundation is still the same as filtered tap water.

Yin Guan shook his head, and said: "I didn't go to Jiangling, I just heard that people who came here at the turning point said that many people died along the way... Besides, huh..." Yin Guan sighed, "On this journey, I saw refugees among the refugees. , much younger and stronger..."

  Wei Yan froze for a moment, then realized, "So..."

Under normal circumstances, there are not many young and strong people among the refugees, because the young and strong labor force is a kind of wealth no matter what time it is, like these young and strong people among the refugees, they don't need to pay attention to any labor laws, and they don't need to spend money. What kind of salary is naturally a lot of 996, 715 ah, who would be willing to let these wealth slip away so easily? Therefore, in many cases, when these refugees go all the way, the young and strong will be sieved over and over again, or arrested, or lured, resulting in the young and strong population who can finally remain in the refugee queue. not much.

Jiangdong soldiers plundered places, and the population is naturally a wealth that will not be easily let go. They have been hunting around all the time, and then seized and sent them to Jiangdong. Weak women and children.

  Now there are more young and strong, either there are spies specially sent by Jiangdong among them, or Jiangdong people don't even catch these young and strong, and don't want them anymore.

   This is obviously unreasonable.

Because of the behavior of mixing spies, it may be useful in other places, but you have to mix all the way from Jingzhou Nanjun to Sichuan... After all, whether it is Padang or Brazil, because of the geographical location, the counties along the way are not big, and the garrison soldiers are also small. Many, even if the Jiangdong soldiers were really mixed with spies, it would be meaningless to have no follow-up soldiers come to garrison after the attack.

  Especially as Yin Guan said, there is no one on duty in Yidao.

  Yi Dao leads to Zigui on the top, Yi River to Sichuan and Shu in the west, and Nanjun to the east. If Jiangdong really deliberately dispatched spies to deal with Wei Yan, why would Yi Dao be left vacant?

"General, about 20 li to the east, there is a valley, where we stayed down..." Yin Guan continued, "In the valley, there are people who died of disease, and they are displayed beside the road...Therefore, if the general takes the barbarian road, he should It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand, but you want to enter Jiangling..."

  Wei Yan pondered, apparently having difficulty making a decision.

  『The general wants to take Nanjun, maybe he can occupy it for a while, but he will be alone outside, without support from the Guanzhong, and there is mountains and rivers to the west, so it will be difficult to hold for a long time. It can be said that if you advance, you will not be able to overcome it completely, and if you retreat, you will be taken advantage of by the enemy. It is really inappropriate. Once something happens, all previous efforts will be wasted. Now it is better to take the Yi Road, one can see the changes in Nanjun, and the other can cover the gates of Sichuan and Shu, so that both advance and retreat can be achieved. I hope the general thinks twice. 』Yin Guan said slowly, his words were honest.

  Wei Yan nodded slowly, and kept his eyes on Yin Guan's face, "Excuse me, sir, what do you want?" 』

  Yin Guan sighed: "There is no one else, please protect your family, the general, and you can reach Sichuan and Shu safely." After going through those hunters who voluntarily worked overtime, Yin Guan realized that even if he could resist this time, he might not be able to defend against the second and third times. Now that he met Wei Yan, he naturally tried to show his abilities as much as possible. , To get the respect of the other party, in exchange for ensuring the safety of his family members along the way.

  Wei Yan did not fully believe in Yin Guan, but he also felt that Yin Guan's point of Yi Dao was very important, so Wei Yan was going to take the Yi Dao first, and then decide whether to continue marching according to the situation.

   It's just that Wei Yan didn't expect that he would encounter new troubles in the Yidao...

  ……

  For many social animals, one of the most disgusting things is that the leader pats his head and says, "Comrades, I have a new idea..."

  Every time I hear such words, the subordinates either turn pale and fight with each other, or smile on their faces, MMP in their hearts...

   Such a situation happened in Jingbei.

   There are also refugees in Xiangyang, Jingbei, and there are a lot of them. At the beginning, except for arresting some young and strong people for supplementary labor, the Cao family let them go to Guanzhong, but now they finally realized that something was wrong.

  『If it is resettled on the spot, is there a way? ’ Xiahou Dun asked.

After Fei Qian further diverted the local people, especially after Cao Ren hurried back and rushed to Wancheng to meet Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun realized that his original strategy had gone wrong, so he thought about starting to collect the local people vigorously. People, stop the loss of ordinary people.

  In this era, the connection between cities, towns, towns, and villages is not as close as it is in later generations. Even in the feudal dynasties of later generations, it is common for government orders not to go to the countryside. Xiahoudun now wants to change his mind from expelling the people to scrambling for the population, and then resettling the population. It only takes a pat on his head, but when it comes to implementing the work, it is not that simple.

  Cai Mao, who hastily arrived from Xiangyang under orders, has a big head.

Changing the strategy is not only about announcing an order, but also related to many issues. Before abandoning these manors and forts in Jingbei, playing with a strong wall to clear the wilderness, and intentionally letting the hussars bear the burden of the refugee population, now they are overwhelmed by Fei Qian's righteousness. Such a sting, in turn, is going to compete with the hussars for population?

  What did you do earlier? How easy is it to change the strategy now?

  Xiahou Dun's original strategy, if he met someone else, would be extremely correct, because if the two sides are fighting, the more important thing is to fight for soldiers, so the priority of ensuring the supply of soldiers has naturally become the commander's most concerned issue.

  Reducing your own consumption and increasing the enemy's loss is of course the best tactic, but it's a pity that you encounter a hussar who doesn't take the usual path.

  From the very beginning, Huqi Feiqian's main strategic target was to accommodate the population of Jingzhou, so Xiahou Dun's tactics that he thought would drag down Huqi and increase the consumption of Huqi, turned out to be in the hands of Hushi.

  Now Xiahou Dun suddenly came to his senses after hearing Cao Ren's report, and wanted to make up for it, but it gave Cai Mao a headache.

The Cao Group also has military settlements, and the scale is not small. They mainly accommodate the population of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Now Xiahoudun thinks that it can be implemented in Jingzhou, but he found Cai Mao and thought that it could be followed. , but did not expect to be splashed with cold water by Cai Mao.

Of course, Cai Mao didn’t mean to hate Xiahou Dun on purpose, but it involved a lot of resettlement of the refugees. Whether it was to use the military settlement method or the civilian settlement, or the refugee policy of the old system of the Han Dynasty, it would bring different results and require different equipment. The most important thing is whose land these refugees are cultivating, how to calculate the ownership of the land, who is responsible for the expenditure, and how much is the tax. There are all kinds of these things, and there is no problem It's simple and easy, and you can settle down casually...

  According to Cai Mao's guess, Xiahou Dun definitely wanted to implement a military settlement like in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, but the problem is that the interests of the military settlement belong to the Cao family! This is not possible, but the problem is that since the benefits belong to the Cao family, why do the Jingzhou gentry still contribute money and effort?

  If it is Mintun, how will the benefits be distributed? Who is more and who is less? If these issues are not straightened out first, how can Cai Mao talk about it and do it when it is settled?

  But like most leaders, Xiahou Dun was obviously not happy with this result. Looking at Cai Mao's gaze became a little unfriendly. After all, all the crows in the world, um, the leaders all have the same idea, like that sentence? Well, as long as the thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties, isn't it?

Cai Mao's ability to observe words and emotions is naturally super strong, so he didn't say it was difficult, but explained how to resettle refugees, measure wasteland, repair ditches, cultivate land and other specific things, saying that he was not without work, but also very It was hard work, and finally added: "General, if you need to resettle the above, it will cost a total of 10 million in the initial stage..."

"How many? 』Xiahou Dun thought he had misheard.

"What you need in advance is 10 million yuan..." Cai Mao's breath was steady and undisturbed, "General, this refugee is empty-handed and has no food and clothing. If you want him to settle down and help him farm, you have to subsidize one or two yuan. This ten thousand Thousands of dollars is still less…”

  『Is this still a small number? ’ Xiahou Dun laughed back angrily.

  Cai Mao nodded and said, "Indeed. In the old days when Emperor Wu moved to Dingbian, the expenses in the first year were more than 10 billion, and the same in the next year... Mao is now also reduced a lot, not counting the expenses for clothing and housing, which is already very little...』

  Cai Mao pointed to the number on the slips, "General Mingjian, this refugee is newly settled, do you need some rations?" Even if the supply is halved, men still need six buckets, and women and children are half as old and weak. In this way, a family of five will make up one stone per month. In this way, after a year, you will need at least ten thousand yuan... This is just a living. At the beginning of spring, farm tools and seeds are especially needed... and water conservancy repairs and ditches... This tens of millions of dollars can only accommodate 100,000 refugees. If the number is more... it will be difficult to maintain...』

  『What if there is no money? ’ Xiahou Dun stared.

  Cai Hao was also unambiguous, "Then there is no way." 』

   An indescribable silence spread between the two of them. After a while, Xiahou Dun waved his hand, signaling Cai Mao to leave the form for calculating the resettlement of the refugees, and he stepped back first.

  Cai Mao left.

  Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen turned out from the back hall.

  『This man has so much lies! Cao Xiu said angrily, "Nowadays, the refugees from Jingzhou are originally from all over the world. They need to be guided back to their own country so that they can resume production. Why should they spend more on clothing and shelter?" Could it be that the people of Jingzhou had no clothes before and could not live in the open air? 』

What Cao Xiu said is not unreasonable, but what is reasonable does not necessarily mean that it can be executed, just like "the murderer pays for his life" was originally the most basic principle that human society must follow when forming together, but what if you take money to compensate? …

  『Scholars from Jingzhou ask for a high price, it’s nothing more than seeing the general’s eagerness...’ Cao Zhen said, ‘If you force them, it’s not beautiful...It’s better to start with Qiu Fu...』

  Xiahou Dun nodded and said: "This strategy is not bad, but it is too slow...Although we have set up checkpoints along the way to intercept refugees, resettlement must be the top priority, otherwise there will be chaos in the long run..."

  The resettlement of refugees should focus on the word "placement". Otherwise, arresting young and strong men to supplement soldiers and labor can deal with most of them, and then drive the rest to other places, or even throw them to hussars...

However, after the hussar general Fei Qian yelled the righteous slogan of "don't ask for land, only save people", if Xiahou Dun continues to do so, he will completely lose the so-called position of loyalty of the big man, which is very important for the "ruling party" For the Cao family in the position, it is undoubtedly a heavy blow in terms of reputation.

  Xiahoudun can even imagine the faces of those so-called Qingliu who talked about this matter...

  It’s like some officials secretly hide some high-end wine, buy some high-priced watches and eat some high-end chicken. As long as they are not discovered, they can talk about it on the stage with a righteous face, but once the fig leaf is torn...

Even if he is cheeky and doesn't care about the government and the opposition, Xiahou Dun can even imagine that if the Cao family really continues to do this, at a certain point, such as when the autumn harvest is approaching, there is no need for hussars to send out any military horses, but to send some scattered personnel to the Cao family. Tuntian District stirs it up, distributes some kindling or something, maybe these young men who are forced to separate from their wives will be agitated, and then riots break out again!

  So, in the hall, all three people began to think.

  『My nephew has a plan! Cao Xiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said in a deep voice, "It's better to start with business!" 』

  『Start with business? ’ Xiahou Dun frowned and thought.

  『Exactly! Cao Xiu said, "Jingzhou now has a lot of business contacts with Guanzhong. If... hehe, you might as well let the wind go. If you don't want to resettle the refugees, you will cut off their business opportunities!" 』Cao Xiu was very proud, raised his chin slightly, and dealt with these disobedient guys, there are many ways!

  Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen thought about it for a while. Although he felt that there was something wrong, he couldn't think of anything for a while. In the end, he could only say that he could give it a try...

   Give it a try. Most of these three words mean that there will be troubles in the future. If it is solved well, there will be no problem. If it is not solved well...

  …(*`ェ*)…

  At this moment, Fei Qian and Zhuge Liang are also discussing about these refugees.

For Zhuge Liang, Fei Qian still has high expectations, and even consciously guides Zhuge Liang in the direction of being an all-rounder in internal affairs. The first thing Zhuge Liang needs to understand is that administrative orders cannot violate or replace the development of commercial economy Rules, not to mention taking things for granted...

  『For example, at present, the most important thing to resettle refugees is to subsidize farmers with business... 』 Fei Qian stood on the high hill, and said to Zhuge Liang beside him, 『This strategy is simple to say, but it is not easy...』

"In this dynasty, Gaozu and Wenjing all practiced the policy of unrestraining the people, and the business was prosperous. In the past, Guanzhong gathered the world, and Pingyang goods in the north were distributed. Toyoya...』

"However, from the beginning of Emperor Wu, he emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and the border trade declined. The Hu people could not get what they wanted, so they plundered places and invaded the border. What... huh...」

   Fei Qian laughed twice, then sighed.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is such a controversial character. On the one hand, he conquered barbarians and expanded the country, spreading his country's prestige far. On the other hand, he resorted to militarism, salt and iron official camps, extended autocracy and centralization to all levels of society, and collected wealth by killing chickens and eggs. The people became poorer and poorer.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power for fifty-four years, which not only ruined the family property left by Wen Jing, but even pushed the lives of the Han people at that time from affluence to the abyss of poverty. In some respects, there may have been "a little bit" of inconsideration, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still made a strong statement, and more of them were the inaction and disorderly actions of local officials...

  『The Han Dynasty moved the people to the north, why was it so expensive? Fei Qian looked at Zhuge Liang, "Now that we resettle the refugees, although they are not rich, they are not in distress, why?" 』
