When Liu Xie arrived in Shaanxi County, Xun Yu hurried to see the driver.
When he received the edict, he was quite surprised.
Although the emperor stayed in Chang'an during this period, after all, there was no edict to move the capital, and Anyi was still a temporary capital. Liu Xie's eastern expedition should have passed Anyi and examined the political achievements of Hedong in recent years.
Xun Yu was already ready to take the lead, but suddenly he received an edict saying that Liu Xie would not go from Hedong and wanted to leave. He felt a little sad.
Is this the emperor dissatisfied with me?
Because a large number of Ruying people were trapped in Yecheng and became hostages of Shen Pei, Xun Yu received a letter of help from Xun Chen very early and knew that Xun Chen had contacted Xun Wenqian. But he had never expressed his opinion, just not wanting to arouse the emperor's words.
Disgusted.
Now it seems that some things are not something he can do if he wants to.
He was ready to accept severe inquiries. He sat in front of Liu Xie, but found that Liu Xie was calm and slowly looked through the plan book he brought, without any sign of getting angry.
After reading the book of the plan, Liu Xie asked a few questions.
First of all, the Xianbei and Xiongnu prisoners were naturalized.
The five years of Jian'an are the period for the first batch of prisoners to be naturalized. How many of them meet the conditions? Bingzhou, and whether Hedong has prepared enough land to resettle people who want to move into the inner county must be raised in advance. As a great Han Dynasty, Hedong has been prepared for enough land.
The temporary capital was the first choice for Xianbei and Xiongnu prisoners to be naturalized, and Xun Yu had the heaviest burden on his shoulders.
Secondly, there is still much room for growth in Hedong in the next few years.
The geographical conditions in Hedong are not superior, and many large tribes have not been cleaned, so the land controlled by Xun Yu is limited. After relocating the remaining part of the Yellow Turbans, a portion of the naturalized Hu tribe may not have free land.
Without free land, can we find new development space?
The last and most important question is, can Hedong support the Eastern Expedition of Youyan Protectorate and the imperial court at the same time?
Because the situation in Jizhou changed, Liu Bei was restrained in Qingxu and could not escape, and his plan to conquer Liaodong was affected. The emperor personally conquered Jizhou, and Hedong would inevitably have to bear some of the food and taxes.
Can Hedong hold on?
Speaking of government affairs, Xun Yu was very calm.
The Hu people's naturalization was going well. In fact, the selection work began after the edict was issued. At present, there are about 30,000 households that meet the requirements.
Thirty thousand households are not a big number. When Hedong County was in Xijing, there were 230,000 households, but now there are less than 100,000 households. Even if all 30,000 households are arranged to Hedong, there is no pressure, let alone some of them.
The reason for insufficient land is that in addition to the annexation of some aristocratic families, it is also because of the unstable frontiers and often attacked by Hu cavalry. Now Yanran’s guardian is in charge of Meiji, and the cavalry is patrolling far away, and the Continental is peaceful,
The abandoned land can be used again.
There are indeed many people who want to move into the inner county now, but that is just that they are worried that Hu Qi will come back and ask for peace of mind. In a few years, when they find that Senei can maintain long-term stability, maybe someone will ask to move out.
.
For the Hu people, grazing is the life they are used to.
Speaking of Hedong's development space in the next few years, Xun Yu is also full of confidence.
As for growing real estate and producing grain, there is indeed little room for growth, but industry and commerce have great development potential. In addition to the textile industry, fur industry, there are also industries such as papermaking, book printing, and pen and ink.
There are a large number of mountains and forests in Hedong, and the burned pine smoke ink is very popular among literati.
There are also many fine pens made in Hedong, and the growth momentum is gratifying in the context of national education.
Hedong is profitable from a great river. The fur outside the border is easy to transport in, and the cost is extremely low. After processing, it is sold to Shandong, making a lot of profits.
Xun Yu turned his fingers and found it like a family. The boring numbers on the book turned into a vivid life. Liu Xie could even see the prosperity of the people from his expression.
Speaking of the last question, Xun Yu was surprisingly concise.
Hedong cannot provide much grain, but it can provide cured meat. The salt is the salt of Anyi Salt Pond, and the meat is the tax paid by the herdsmen of Xihe and Shangjun. After the autumn, they started preparing. Now the warehouse is full and can be shipped at any time.
Liu Xie was very interested when he heard this. Using cured meat as military rations was a method just developed by the Agricultural School. It is still in the experimental stage, so Xun Yu took the lead.
He asked. Xun Yu said frankly that he had two sources of information.
One is the research of the agricultural school, and the other is the experience of the Hu herders.
After Xun Chen left Chang'an, he passed by Hedong and talked to him about research in the Agricultural School. He was very interested and specially sent someone to Chang'an to find Shi Tao and ask about the relevant methods.
Hu people also have experience in curing meat, but salt is too rare, so they are reluctant to use it, and usually smoke or air-dry it directly.
Once the two were combined, Xun Yu developed a cured meat that could be preserved for a long time. The taste was pretty good and could be eaten as dry food. In fact, after the promotion of this method, some people kept the meat in this way, so as not to be reluctant to leave it for a while.
Eat it and break it.
Liu Xie was very satisfied and finally asked a question: "What suggestions do Lingyin have for military use in Jizhou?"
Xun Yu bowed and bowed. "Your Majesty, I only have six words: A king has a battle but no war."
Liu Xie was not surprised, nor was he in a hurry to make a statement, and signaled Xun Yu to explain in detail.
"Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, Chu and Zhao were the most tragic. Although Chu had three families, Qin would have destroyed Chu. Today's Han people are actually descendants of Chu, and the revenge of Chu people was considered to be avenged. However, Zhao people's revenge has never been avenged."
Liu Xie was stunned.
Why is this getting further and further?
It was said before that the heart knot of the people of Jizhou was Guo Shengtong, the empress of Emperor Guangwu. Now Xun Yu talked about Zhao State again. Will the Battle of Zhuolu in the future be involved?
Seeing Liu Xie’s doubts, Xun Yu was not surprised and said slowly: “Your Majesty, the dynasty has risen and fallen, but people are still those, especially the family. In fact, most of them are descendants of the princes and princes from that time. Because every year, they pay homage to ancestors and trace back to them.
Ancestors, their memories are far longer than ordinary people.”
Liu Xie blinked. "So, the court cannot get rid of the shadow of the Qin army?"
"I can't get rid of it." Xun Yu laughed. "But Your Majesty is almost stepping over."
"How do you say this?"
"Your Majesty, King Wu's army to attack Zhou also came from the west. Now the general of the Fu Army does not kill people or massacre the city in Henan, but goes to prevent autumn floods and seek welfare for the people. Who would still say that they are the army of tigers and wolves? The reason why Jizhou is
If you don't surrender, you're just hesitating. I don't know whether this is the kindness of a person and a temporary one, or the will of the court to perform the kingly way. Now that your Majesty personally fights, if you can be completely unsuccessful, it will be too much like the general of the army, and the people will naturally eat pots of slurry to welcome them.
King’s Army, where does His Majesty need a bloody battle?”
Liu Xie suddenly realized, stared at Xun Yu for a while, and shook his head with a smile.
"Ling Yin is really eloquent."
Xun Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is my heartfelt words."
Liu Xie thought for a while. "What does Ling Yin think of Liangtian?"
"I naturally support it, but... it's not a hasty."
"The Chang'an discussion is imminent, and a lot of controversy has been published, but most of them are in the wild, and no one has spoken out. In the fourth year of Hedong, the ruler was always the best in the world. Should he also publish a little?
