Chapter 245: People who don’t know whether to live or die.
At this moment, a bustling scene was taking place outside Xinye City. 180,000 people and 12,000 elite soldiers, led by Tian Feng and Zhao Yun, were cultivating barren fields and building villages one after another.
Xinye City, this city has been regarded as his own by Liu Feng. Naturally, all of his 180,000 pieces will be stationed inside and outside Xinye.
A population of 180,000 is definitely not a small number. Fortunately, the population of Xinye is not very dense now. After all, it has experienced turbulent times and wars.[
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although the impact in Jingzhou was relatively small, it was not without it. In terms of population and land, it was very loose.
It's a little more difficult to station 180,000 of them, but it's still very easy to station 80,000 of them.
Now that he has regarded Xinye as his own, Liu Feng naturally ordered the fields to be reclaimed and prepared for farming next year. Because he was delayed a lot of time on the road, this year's farming period has passed, and he can only pin his hopes on next year.
Fortunately, Liu Feng begged nearly 200,000 shi of grain from the three major princes along the way. If he lived frugally, he could still last for a year.
The rest is not enough, I will think of a solution when the time comes.
As for who owns this field, whether it has an owner or not, Liu Feng doesn't care about that.
To be honest, Liu Feng's move was illegal and without any basis. But in Xinye, because the prefect went to Xiangyang, the remaining officials did not dare to resist and could only watch Liu Feng settle down.
But today, the person who stands up for the Xinye officials has arrived.
That was Cai Mao's nephew. This time he went north to meet the official who conveyed Liu Biao's orders, Fei Ke.
When the officials received the news, they immediately welcomed Fei Ke into the Xinye Prefecture, and formed a circle to ask Fei Ke to make the decision.
"Master Fei, you have to make the decision for us. You see, although the fields outside the city are still wasteland, they are owned by owners. Lu Su developed and occupied them without saying a word when he came. It's really...
Robbers, thieves."
An official who was closely related to the interests of the fields outside the city cried out.
The position of prefect is usually filled by outsiders. However, the officials in a city are usually people from the city. Moreover, most of them are powerful people in the city or people from well-off families.
In today's Jingchu, the Cai family and the Kuai family are in power, and annexation of land is common. The people above are doing this, and the people below naturally follow suit.
During this time, Liu and Feng opened up wasteland, and most of the villages they built were actually the land in their pockets. The powerful men of this era were almost the same as the landlords of later generations.
The most precious thing is their own land. But Lu Su is strong, and there is nothing they can do about it. Now that they have met a person who can make the decision, it will naturally be as painful as it is.
Who is this person in front of me? He is Cai Mao's nephew and a direct descendant of Fei's family.
As one official began to complain, the rest of the officials immediately started shouting, and they burst into tears.
After Fei Ke heard this, he immediately became very angry.[
He is Cai Mao's nephew and a direct descendant of the Fei family. The interests he represents are the interests of powerful and powerful families. The land under his account and Zhuangzi are all iron bankers who pay for them.
