There is no doubt that Zhao Yun’s suggestions work.
Compared to rewards, land is more attractive to ordinary soldiers. No matter how much rewards are, they will be lost after use. However, land can be produced every year and can be passed on to descendants in the future.
Fifty acres of land are not too much, but it can allow a family of five to have a meal and maintain a basic life.
Fifty acres of land are enough to make a soldier fight to the death.
But there are also major risks behind this suggestion. The powerful men who have occupied a large amount of land will be afraid and will defend themselves by the fortress and even surrender directly to Yuan Shao.
In addition, Zhao Yun's suggestion is also more radical than the military farming practices implemented by Cao Cao in Xu County. It is similar to the farming wars in the Qin system, and it is easy to remind people of bad words such as tyrannical Qin and Qin methods.
"Xianhe, what do you... think?"
Jian Yong thought about it with his messy beard, then suddenly turned around and said to the knight who sent the edict: "It seems that there is still a letter in your arms?"
The knight said, "Yes, but it has nothing to do with Liu Envoy, it was written by Liu He to the village party Wang Lang."
"Liu and Liu Gongheng?" Jian Yong's eyes lit up.
“That’s right.”
Jian Yong looked back at Liu Bei, quickly exchanged a look with Liu Bei, and then asked again: "When did Liu He arrive?"
"It's two or three days before the edict was issued." The knight scratched his head. "I don't know the specific situation very well, but the emperor trusted him very much, so I asked me to bring this letter. I dare to ask the envoy, Wang Lang is in Tan
County?"
"Here, there." Liu Bei agreed, but he felt strange and felt like he was a certain number in the dark.
Liu He arrived two or three days before the edict was issued, and Wang Lang returned to Tan County the day before the edict arrived, as if he had made an appointment. But I didn't know what Liu He said in the letter, Wang Lang was again
What will happen?
If Liu He mentioned Zhao Yun’s suggestion in the letter, would Wang Lang support it?
Generally speaking, it should not be. However, judging from Wang Lang's sect's inheritance, since Yang Biao and Yang Xiu can support the court's new policy, Wang Lang seems to be likely to accept it.
When Liu Bei was guessing in his mind, Jian Yong carefully asked the knights about Liu He. The knights who could be sent out to deliver the edict must be the elite of the imperial guards, either Hu Ben or Yu Lin. They were familiar with the situation and were all first-hand.
The information is something that Liu Bei urgently needs to know.
Hard work pays off. Jian Yong not only knew about Liu He, but also knew that Tian Chou had arrived a few months ago and is now the counselor around the emperor.
Liu Bei, Jian Yong and Tian Chou had no friendship, but they knew that Tian Chou was a famous scholar in Youzhou and had been on an envoy under the order of Liu Yu and had a good relationship with Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou and others. It was normal for him to get together with Liu He.
What happened. Tian Chou and Liu He stood firm around the emperor and served the court, indicating that Xian Yufu and others would also be loyal to the court rather than forming an alliance with Yuan Shao.
From this, Liu Bei inferred that Yuan Shao did not control Youzhou and could only maintain the front line in the Yishui area. Since Xian Yufu and others were loyal to the court, Youzhou was placed under the control of the court like Bingzhou and Liangzhou.
Xun You, who was stationed outside the border, could lead his troops south at any time, and threaten Jizhou like the troops stationed in Taiyuan, Shangdang and Hanoi.
This also means that Yuan Shao could not have been besieged Xuzhou for a long time, so he could only fight and decide quickly.
Liu Bei felt confident.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to defend Peixian and Pengcheng, complete the tasks assigned by the court, and restore his clan origin.
In an instant, Liu Bei made a decision.
If you can restore your clan, do you still have to worry about your future?
As for the great tribes in Xuzhou, I don’t have to care at all. Anyway, I don’t want to separatist Xuzhou and become king. The ideal result is of course to return to my hometown Zhuo County, or Zhongshan, and become king of Zhongshan.
"Xianhe, what about your opinion?" Liu Bei asked Jian Yong's opinion again, his tone had become much calmer.
Jian Yong smiled. "Xuzhou has experienced a long war, and the household registration loss is serious, and a large amount of land is abandoned. It is no problem to concentrate those lands and distribute them to the soldiers. It is not a problem to raise 20,000 to 30,000 people. Lord, this is the best way to restore your ancestors' glory.
Opportunities must not be missed."
Liu Bei nodded, feeling reasonable.
His mission is to defend Pei County and Pengcheng, with 20,000 or 30,000 people enough, so he doesn't need so much land. The idle land in Pengcheng and Donghai counties is enough, so there is no need to conflict with those big clans for the time being.
"I will see Wang Jingxing tomorrow, and I will listen to Wang Jingxing's opinions again." Liu Bei said.
Jian Yong agreed happily.
Liu Bei said this, obviously just to be polite. Whether Wang Lang agreed or not or supported him could not change Liu Bei's decision.
Jian Yong was flexible and afraid that there would be any adverse news in Liu He's letter. He told the knight who sent the imperial edict that Wang Lang would come to see Liu Jun tomorrow, so you don't have to go to deliver the letter specifically. Wait here and have a good rest overnight
, Just wait for Wang Lang to come.
The Knight didn't think too much and agreed immediately.
He was really tired after running for more than 5,000 miles.
Jian Yong arranged for the knight to rest, and Liu Bei returned to Ganmei's room. The moment he closed the door, he hugged Ganmei and cried with joy.
"The bitterness is over and sweet. Amei, you are my luck. I want you to give birth to a son."
The next morning, Liu Bei invited Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers to tell me about the edict that they received at night.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were both surprised and happy. If they hadn't seen the edict with their own eyes, they wouldn't even believe it, thinking that Liu Bei was talking in his sleep.
Liu Bei has always claimed to be the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, but there is no evidence. Even if he is, he is afraid he will not be in his sect for a long time, and it will not be easy for the emperor to find evidence. It is somewhat of a bit of Menglang for his decision to make such a decision.
I can only say that this is the emperor's infinite trust in Zhao Yun.
For the Mi brothers, no matter what the emperor made such a decision for the purpose, the edict was true, and this promise was true. As long as Liu Bei's ability to protect Xuzhou, he could restore his clan family. And for them, the East China Sea Mi
For the clan, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to make friends with the royal family and change the status of a rich but inexpensive businessman.
Liu Yu and Liu He are the royal family. They had no chance to cling to each other before. Now Liu Bei is right in front of them and urgently need their help.
Mi Zhu immediately proposed that he hoped to marry Liu Bei and marry his sister Mi Lan to Liu Bei as his concubine to consolidate the alliance.
Liu Bei was overjoyed.
Before he could restore his clan, he had already begun to enjoy the benefits of clan. Although the Mi family was merchant, it was unlikely that they would marry a woman to someone else as a concubine, and at least they had to find a position of equal wife.
After a few words of humility, Liu Bei agreed.
He is 37 years old this year, with a wife and a concubine, but he has been fighting all year round and running around. He does not have many children. Only his wife, Mao, gave birth to a son for him. In the future, he will be restored and may even be crowned as king. Of course, he needs to be further improved.
Many descendants.
Mi was willing to marry him, but he couldn't ask for it.
After a few words, Liu Bei made an appointment with Mi Zhu to marry him, and then set off and visited Wang Lang. He provided you with the fastest update of the Han Dao World, Chapter 582: Your own fixed number is free to read.
