Chapter 246 Liangzhou Politics

Liu Ye hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "What did the princess say? It is my duty to destroy the Han bandits and pacify Liangzhou."

Unexpectedly, Liu Yunji said in a serious manner: "The people of Liangzhou have been ravaged by the Qiang people, and Yunji's gift is also to thank the emperor's uncle for the people of Liangzhou."

Liu Ye has some respect for Liu Yunji. After all, there are absolutely not many leaders who can care for the people these days, but Liu Yunji, a woman, can worry about the people of Liangzhou thousands of miles away. This kindness alone is worthy of respect.

"Yun Ji didn't know that Emperor Father was meeting with the ministers, since that's the case, Yun Ji stepped back first."

After Liu Yunji said her resignation, she retreated slowly, but Emperor Ling looked at his daughter with kind eyes.

You must know that in ancient times, the so-called long live and ten thousand years were exclusive to the emperor, and generally speaking long live was said to the emperor. Don't you see that powerful people like Wei Zhongxian dare to call themselves nine thousand years old at most?

However, Emperor Ling named Liu Yunji "Princess Wannian", from which he could understand his love for Liu Yunji.

After Emperor Ling talked with Liu Ye for a while, Liu Ye resigned from Emperor Ling and walked out of Xuande Hall with Xun You.

"Princess Wannian has people in her heart, it's really rare." Liu Ye sighed.

Xun You also nodded, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Princess Wannian is an imperial daughter after all. If she is a man, it would be great to be a prince."

The title of Princess Wannian was conferred in the third year of Guanghe, that is, 180 years, but she is actually fifteen years old now, a few years older than Liu Bian. As the saying goes, a state-owned elder is a blessing to the community, and Princess Wannian is more suitable than Liu Bian and Liu Xie in her age, but it is a pity that she is a daughter.

The two walked and talked, walked out of the palace, and then parted ways, Xun You returned home, while Liu Ye returned to the post house.

the second day.

"Brother Mengde, Brother Gongda, there is no need to send them off. If we take a while longer, I'm afraid we will be sent directly to Hangu Pass." Liu Ye stood on the horse and said to Cao Cao and Xun You who were behind him.

Cao Cao sighed: "It's been so many years, I don't know when I will meet Yuqing again."

Xun You nodded in the same way, apparently quite reluctant to part with Liu Ye's departure.

Liu Ye turned around, put his fist on his heart, and said with a smile: "The friendship between gentlemen is the most important thing. Although the world is big, friends are always in the heart."

Cao Cao laughed: "Well said!"

Liu Ye turned around and said to the side, "Ling Ming, let's go."

Pound nodded, and shouted to more than a thousand Liangzhou cavalry: "Let's go!"

More than a thousand cavalry roared and galloped westward, galloping over the wilderness, and soon turned into a pile of small black spots.

Liu Ye spent more than a month in the process of coming and going in Luoyang, and when he returned to Liangzhou, it was already January of the fifth year of Zhongping.

And Liu Ye, who returned to Liangzhou, couldn't be idle anymore, because the spring plowing was about to start, so he immediately organized spring plowing with Fu Xie to persuade farmers to teach mulberry. Last year, Liangzhou experienced wars, more than 100,000 troops fought endlessly, and Geng Bi also issued an order to recruit soldiers. Therefore, Liangzhou’s production was severely reduced. The food and grass seized from the search and seizure of Jincheng County barely survived this year.

Fortunately, Han Sui was captured and beheaded, Liangzhou stabilized again, and Liu Ye immediately organized the refugees to start production again.

"Inspector, this is Mr. Fazhen, a famous scholar in Liangzhou."

In the Sheriff's Mansion, Fu Xie introduced Liu Ye.

Liu Ye laughed, and said to Fazhen, "Mr. Fa, long time no see."

Fazhen also had a smile on his face: "Inspector Liu has the power of the Marquis of Huaiyin to use his troops. He wiped out more than a hundred thousand soldiers in Han Sui's rebellion in one fell swoop. To tell the truth, Inspector Liu, he really came to take his grandson from Japan and wanted to take refuge in Luoyang, so he went to my son. Thanks Inspector Liu pacified Liangzhou."

Seeing that the two got along so well, Fu Xie was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Fa and Inspector Liu are old acquaintances, but something has happened."

Liu Ye put away his smile and said solemnly: "Mr. Fa, although the Marquis of Huaiyin has the ability to use soldiers like a god, if there is no Marquis Xiao to guard the rear, train new soldiers, and raise food and grass, it will be difficult to win Gaixia. Now that Liangzhou is suffering from military disasters, It can be said that there is a lot of waste waiting to be done, I wonder if Mr. Fa is willing to show his talents and take up the post of Liangzhou Biejia?"

Fazhen nodded: "The life of a family member of Fa is saved by the governor, so it is naturally obligatory."

Liu Ye was overjoyed: "With Mr.'s help, I feel like a fish in water."

The so-called don't drive is a high-ranking official in a state who is second only to the state shepherd. He is in charge of government affairs. Driving means a carriage. Don't drive means someone who can accompany the state shepherd and ride in another carriage. revered.

For example, Tian Feng, the most resourceful man under Yuan Shao, later assumed the post of Jizhou Biejia, and Tian Feng's support also saved a lot of trouble for Yuan Shao's successful entry into Jizhou. Although Tian Feng was later imprisoned by Yuan Shao, but In the early years, he relied far more on Tian Feng than others.

Fazhen is indeed worthy of the name of a famous person. After taking office in his sixties, Fazhen did not hesitate, and vigorously sorted out a set of farming measures, which involved several core issues.

Insufficient food, the main problem lies in the lack of productivity, and the warlords have been fighting for years, and the strong laborers of the family have been taken away to fight and cannot farm. With the reduction of food production, ten rooms are empty, and the number of soldiers is reduced, forming a vicious circle.

Fazhen’s farming measures first proposed that refugees who fled their hometowns due to wars be organized into “civilian households” and that the government would lease them cattle, horses, farm tools and seeds to reclaim wasteland for the first year. Collect half of the tax, and then gradually restore and reduce it to 15 taxes. First, it increases the labor force, and second, it stabilizes the refugees, and is also conducive to the reconstruction of order in Liangzhou.

The second core was aimed at the more than 20,000 Qiang soldiers captured. In order to calm the hearts of the Qiang people, Liu Ye released them without charge. Fazhen thought that Liu Ye's move was too kind. After all, he was rebelling against a thief, and he must not let it go easily. However, since Liu Ye has already spoken, he cannot settle accounts later.

Therefore, Fazhen proposed to let these Qiang captives serve as free labor force, which is actually serving corvée for the government. Four months per year and three years of corvée will be used instead of post-war punishment. This will not only save people from killing, but also supplement The role of labor.

At the same time, Fazhen also cryptically suggested that the main reason restricting the development of Liangzhou is the lack of population, so the government should encourage folks to have children with grain and rice.

After Liu Ye, Fu Xie, Fazhen and the officials in the prefecture discussed and supplemented it, a land reclamation order was released. Under the guidance of the Land Reclamation Order, the spring plowing in Liangzhou is in full swing and flourishing.
