Chapter 2123: Pat on the head

 In history, Yin Guan left not many imprints, but they were crucial.

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, fell back on his old habit and wanted to lead a few people to sneak attack Jiangling. But the problem was that it was really difficult to go from Zigui to Jiangling without boats. In order to stay hidden, Wei Yan just

There was no way to say that I could go wherever I wanted, but I happened to see Yin Guan ambushing these overtime hunters in the woods.

At first, Wei Yan thought he was coming for him, but later found out that he was not. On the one hand, he thought Yin Guan was interesting, and on the other hand, he also wanted to know something about the situation in Nanjun Jiangling through Yin Guan, so in the end

Appeared to cook Yin Guan's hand, and "invited" Yin Guan to be a guest...

Among the historical records of the Three Kingdoms, it is very interesting that the three countries wrote their own books, and after they were unified, the data was not complete. As an official of Shu, Chen Shou, who later became an official of Jin, undoubtedly had some influence in it.

Hands and feet, there is always something wrong with the places where a knife has been used. Either you cannot touch here or pinch somewhere, and the skin is so tight that it seems like it will explode at any time.

Just like Yin Guan.

After Yin Guan left those words that could not be ignored, he served as Liu Bei's farewell officer. His position was even higher than that of Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, but then he disappeared without warning without mentioning a word. This was quite unfair.

nature.

Perhaps due to illness, or death on the battlefield, or...

"I have met the general who conquered Shu." After Yin Guan saw Wei Yan reveal his identity, he greeted him politely.

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

Yin Guan did not hesitate and said almost immediately: "Nanjun is currently in chaos. Jiangdong soldiers are stationed in Jiangling, looting everywhere to fill Jiangdong. Corpses are everywhere, and the fields are barren. Nanjun's century-old accumulation has now been destroyed. I will follow Yi Dao

When we come here, the city is unmanned and the city walls are empty. If the general wants to take the barbarian route, it shouldn't be difficult, but..."

"But what?" Wei Yan asked.

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

"What?" Wei Yan asked, staring at Yin Guan.

Yin Guan lowered his head slightly, "Without him, it would be an epidemic."

"Plague?!" Wei Yan obviously didn't realize this problem before, and was startled, "Jiangling Plague? Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Wei Yan's character can be generally considered to be rough and fine, but the foundation is still rough, and occasionally a little bit

When it's detailed, it's like water with added minerals is branded as natural water and sold for a small premium, but it's still essentially filtered tap water.

Yin Guan shook his head and said, "I didn't go to Jiangling. I just heard from people who came here that there were many people who were sick and died along the way... Besides, phew..." Yin Guan sighed, "I saw refugees along the way.

Among them, he is much younger and stronger..."

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, "So..."

Under normal circumstances, there are not many young people among the refugees. This is because the young labor force is a kind of wealth no matter what time it is. For these young people among the refugees, there is no need to pay attention to any labor laws or develop.

Of course, there are many 996 and 715 people who are willing to let this wealth slip away easily. Therefore, in many cases, when these refugees have a good career, their young and strong will feel like they are being sifted through a sieve over and over again.

, either arresting or luring them, so naturally there will not be many young and healthy people who can ultimately remain in the refugee queue.

The Jiangdong soldiers plundered the place, and the population was naturally a treasure that they would not let go easily. They had been searching everywhere, and then captured them and sent them to Jiangdong. Therefore, many of the refugees who fled before were old and young.

Weak women and children.

But now there are more and more young people. Either there are spies specially sent by Jiangdong among them, or the people of Jiangdong don't even catch these young people and don't want them anymore.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Because the behavior of mixing spies may be useful in other places, but you have to go all the way from Jingzhou Nanjun to Sichuan... After all, whether it is Badong or Brazil, due to geographical reasons, the counties along the way are not big, and the garrisoned soldiers are not

Not many. Even if the Jiangdong soldiers really used spies to mix it in, it would be meaningless if there were no follow-up soldiers to garrison after the attack.

Especially since Yin Guan said that there is no one on Yi Dao.

The Yidao Road leads to Zigui in the upper part, the Yishui River in the west to Sichuan and Shu, and the Nanjun County in the east. It is such a key node location. If Jiangdong really deliberately sent spies to deal with Wei Yan, why would the Yidao Road be left vacant?

"General, about twenty miles to the east, there is a valley, and there was a stay down there..." Yin Guan continued, "There are people who died of illness in the valley, and they are displayed by the road... Therefore, if the general takes the Yi Road,

, it’s as easy as flipping a finger, but I want to enter Jiangling..."

Wei Yan pondered, obviously having a hard time deciding.

"If the general wants to take Nanjun, he may be able to hold it for a while. It will be isolated outside without support from the pass. There are mountains and rivers to the west, so it will be difficult to hold it for a long time. It can be said that if you advance, you will not be able to completely conquer it. If you retreat, you will be taken advantage of by the enemy. This is not true."

"Okay, once something happens, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Now it is better to take the Yi Road. On the one hand, we can observe the changes in Nanjun, and on the other hand, we can also cover the Sichuan and Shu gates, and we can advance and retreat. I hope the general will think twice." Yin Guan said slowly, speaking slowly.

Sincerely.

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

Yin Guan sighed: "Without him, please ask the general to protect the family members, so that they can arrive in Sichuan and Shu safely." After passing through the hunters who volunteered to work overtime, Yin Guan realized that even if he could resist this time, he might not be able to defend himself.

The second time and the third time, since I met Wei Yan, I naturally tried my best to show my ability and gain the respect of the other party in exchange for ensuring the safety of my family along the way.

Wei Yan did not completely believe Yin Guan, but he also felt that the Yidao node mentioned by Yin Guan was very important, so Wei Yan planned to take the Yidao first, and then decide whether to continue the march based on the situation.

But Wei Yan didn't expect that he would encounter new troubles in Yi Dao...

……( ̄﹌ ̄)>……

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

Every time I hear such words, my subordinates will either turn pale and feel trembling, or they will smile with smiles on their faces and MMP in their hearts...

Such a situation happened in Jingbei.

There are also refugees in Xiangyang, north of Jing Dynasty, and there are a lot of them. At first, except for arresting some young men to supplement their labor force, the Cao family allowed the rest to flow to Guanzhong, but now they finally realized that something was wrong.

"If we resettle them on the spot, is there any way?" Xiahou Dun asked.

After Feiqian further diverted the local people, especially after Cao Ren hurried back and rushed to Wancheng to meet Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun realized that there was something wrong with his original strategy, so he thought about starting to vigorously collect local people.

Common people, prevent the loss of ordinary people.

In this era, the connection between cities, towns and villages was not as close as in later generations. Even in later feudal dynasties, it was common for government orders not to be sent to the countryside. Xiahou Dun now wanted to go from expelling the people to competing for the population.

When it comes to resettling the population, changing an idea only requires a pat on the head, but when it comes to implementing the work, it is not that simple.

Cai Hao, who came from Xiangyang in a hurry, had a big head.

Changing the strategy is not only about announcing the order, but also related to many aspects of the problem. Previously, the manors and forts in Jingbei were abandoned, and they tried to clear the country with a strong wall, intending to let the Hussar bear the burden of the refugee population. Now Fei Qian Dayi Lingran

With such a stab, he will in turn compete with the Hussars for population?

What did you do earlier? Now you have to change your strategy, but is it easier said than done?

Xiahou Dun's original strategy, if met by others, would be extremely correct. Because the two sides are fighting, the more important thing is to fight for soldiers, so ensuring the supply of soldiers first has naturally become the commander's biggest concern.

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

At the beginning, the main strategy formulated by Hussar Feiqian was to absorb the population of Jingzhou, so Xiahou Dun originally thought that the tactics that could drag down the Hussar and increase the consumption of the Hussar played right into the Hussar's ambitions.

Now Xiahou Dun suddenly realized 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 camps, and the scale is not small. They mainly resettle and accommodate the population of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Now Xiahou Dun thinks that he can follow the example in Jingzhou. However, he only found Cai Mao and thought that he can implement it accordingly.

, but unexpectedly Cai Mao poured a basin of cold water on him.

Of course, Cai Mao did not mean to antagonize Xiahou Dun, but the resettlement of the refugees involved a lot. Whether he adopted military settlements or civilian settlements, or adopted the old Han Dynasty system of refugee policies, it would bring different results and require different equipment.

To arrange different affairs, the most important thing is whose land these refugees farm, how to calculate the ownership of the land, who pays the expenses, and how much the taxes are. There are all kinds of things, and there is no problem.

It is simple and easy, and can be settled casually...

According to Cai Mao's guess, Xiahou Dun definitely wanted to implement military settlements like those in Yanzhou, Yuzhou. But the problem is that the interests of the military settlements belong to the Cao family! This is not possible, but the problem is that since the interests all belong to the Cao family,

, then why do the Jingzhou gentry still contribute money and effort?

If it is a civilian village, how will the benefits be distributed? Who has more and who has less? How can Cai Mao discuss and implement these issues if they are not sorted out first?

But like most leaders, Xiahou Dun was obviously not happy with this result. Looking at Cai Mao, his eyes became a little unfriendly. After all, crows in the world, well, the leaders all have the same idea, just like that

What's the sentence? Well, as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties, right?

Cai Hao's ability to observe people's emotions is naturally very strong. He immediately stopped talking about difficulties, and instead explained specific things such as how to resettle the refugees, measure the wasteland, repair ditches, and cultivate the land. He said that it was not that he had not done the work, and that he was very good at it.

It was hard work, and finally he added: "General, if the above needs to be resettled, it will cost a total of ten million yuan in the initial stage..."

"How much?" Xiahou Dun thought he had misunderstood.

"The initial need is ten million yuan..." Cai Mao's breath was calm and not disturbed at all, "General, these refugees have nothing to eat and have no food or clothing. If you want them to settle down and help them farm, you have to give them a subsidy of one or two. This is

Tens of thousands of dollars is still too little..."

"Is this still a small amount?" Xiahou Dun laughed angrily.

Cai Mao nodded and said, "That's true. In the past, when Emperor Wu moved the people to Dingbian, the cost in the first year was over 10 billion, and the same was true in the following year... Mao has also reduced it a lot now, not including the cost of clothing and shelter, which is already considered extremely high.

not enough……"

Cai Mao pointed to the amount on the slip and said, "General Mingjian, these newly settled refugees need to be given some rations. Even if the supply is halved, men will need six dou, and women, children, old and weak will need another half. In this way, based on a family of five,

Just to make up for one stone a month, in this way, at least ten thousand yuan will be needed in a year... This is just a living. When spring comes, we will especially need farm tools and seeds... and water conservancy repairs, ditches and dredging... These tens of thousands of yuan, only

It can resettle 100,000 refugees, but if the number is larger... it will be difficult to maintain..."

"What if there is no money?" Xiahou Dun stared.

Cai Mao was also unambiguous, "Then there is nothing we can do."

An indescribable silence spread between the two people. After a while, Xiahou Dun waved his hand and signaled Cai Hao to leave the stamp on the resettlement plan and leave first.

Cai Mao left.

Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen came out of the back hall.

"This person has so many lies!" Cao Xiu said angrily, "Nowadays, the refugees in Jingzhou are originally people from all over the country. They just need to be led back to their own homes so that they can resume production. Why bother to spend more on clothing and shelter? Could it be that they are from Jingzhou?"

The people had no clothes before, how could they live in the open air?"

What Cao Xiu said is not unreasonable, but what is reasonable does not necessarily mean that it can be implemented. Just like "the murderer must pay for his life" is originally the most basic principle that human society must follow to form a mutual structure, but if you take property compensation



"The people in Jingzhou ask for a high price, but they are just eager to see the general..." Cao Zhen said, "If you force it, it will not be beautiful... It is better to start with Qiu Fu..."

Xiahou Dun nodded and said: "This strategy is good, but it is too slow... Although we have set up checkpoints along the way to intercept the refugees, we must eventually resettle them, otherwise there will be chaos in the long run..."

To resettle the refugees, the emphasis is on the word "resettlement". Otherwise, by capturing young men to supplement soldiers and labor, a large part of them can be dealt with, and then the rest will be driven to other places, or even thrown to the hussars...

However, after the hussar general Fei Qian shouted the righteous slogan of "not asking for land, only saving people", if Xiahou Dun continued to do so, he would completely lose the so-called loyalty of the Han Dynasty. This is not true for the "ruling party"

For the Cao family in terms of position, it is undoubtedly a heavy blow in terms of reputation.

Xiahou Dun could even imagine the faces of those so-called Qingliu people when they talked about this matter...

Just like some officials secretly hide some high-end wine, get some sky-high prices, and eat some high-end chicken. As long as they are not discovered, they can talk on the stage and look upright, but once the fig leaf is torn...

Even if he was shameless and ignored the discussions between the government and the public, Xiahou Dun could even imagine that if the Cao family really continued to do this, at a certain time, such as when the autumn harvest was approaching, the hussars would not even need to dispatch any more military horses, but would just send some scattered personnel to the Cao family.

If the Tuntian District is instigated and distributed some fire or something, these young men who have been forced to separate from their wives and children will be incited and riots will break out again!

As a result, the three people in the hall began to think.

"My nephew has a plan!" Cao Xiu suddenly had an idea 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, "Nowadays, Jingzhou has many business contacts with Guanzhong. If...hehe, you might as well let the wind go. If you don't want to resettle the refugees, they will cut off their trade routes!" Cao Xiu was very proud.

Lift your chin slightly, there are many ways to deal with these disobedient guys!

Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen thought for a moment. Although he felt something was 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 trouble 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 were also discussing the issue of these refugees.

Fei Qian still had high expectations for Zhuge Liang, and even consciously guided Zhuge Liang in the direction of becoming a generalist in internal affairs. The first thing that Zhuge Liang must understand is that administrative orders cannot violate or replace the development of the commercial economy.

Rules, let alone taking them for granted...

"For example, the most important thing to resettle the refugees now is to use business to supplement farmers..." Fei Qian stood on a high hill and said to Zhuge Liang beside him, "This strategy may sound simple, but it is not easy..."

"In this dynasty, Emperor Gaozu and Wen Jing all followed the policy of having no restrictions on the people, and trade was prosperous. In the past, Guanzhong brought together the world, goods were distributed in Pingyang in the north, and Hu and Han traded with each other. Border trade continued to flourish, and a lot of gains were made.

Toyoya...』

"But when Emperor Wu began, he focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, and border trade declined. The Hu people couldn't get what they wanted, so they plundered places and invaded the borders. Although Emperor Wu was better than the Xiongnu, it greatly damaged the country's power... It is understandable that Emperor Wu was talented and broad-minded, but for the economic and civil affairs

What the hell...hehe..."

Fei Qian laughed twice, then sighed.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is such a controversial character. On the one hand, he conquered the barbarians and expanded the territory, and his national prestige was far-reaching. He conquered Korea in the east, annexed Baiyue in the south, conquered Dayuan in the west, and defeated the Xiongnu in the north. This laid the basic scope of the Han Dynasty and created

On the other hand, he resorted to militarism, salt and iron government affairs, extended autocratic centralization to all levels of society, and amassed wealth by killing chickens and laying eggs. The people became poorer and poorer, refugees spread everywhere, and the population was reduced by half.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power for fifty-four years, which not only ruined Wenjing's family fortune, but also pushed the lives of the Han people from wealth to the abyss of poverty. In the later period, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to admit that he was in a certain situation.

In some aspects, there may be a "little bit" of inconsideration, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still made a colorful statement. Most of them were the inaction and disorderly actions of local officials...

"Why did the Han Dynasty move people to fill the northern territory? Why did it cost so much?" Fei Qian looked at Zhuge Liang, "And now we are resettling the refugees. Although we are not rich, we are not embarrassed, so why?"
