Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 8 Ready to Fly Section 6

Chapter 8 Arrow on the Bow Section 6 Sun Ce was inspired by Zhou Yu's words, and immediately felt his blood boiling, and he couldn't wait to immediately leap on his horse and whip and gallop across the field.

Zhou Yu's face flushed, immersed in the dream of scolding Fang Xuan and pointing out the country. Lu Su was also excited, looking eager to try.

Sun Ben, Zhu Zhi, and Cheng Pu have been on the battlefield for a long time, and the expressions in their eyes are very complicated, although Zhou Yu's words can be inspiring, but the bloody facts of more than ten years tell them that dreams and reality are often very different.

Young people have dreams and passions, and it is understandable that in the future, after they have experienced many ruthless and cruel blows, I hope they can still stick to this dream in their hearts and maintain this passion in their hearts.

Whether it's to survive or to achieve ambitions, having dreams and passions is the most important thing. The three of them looked at each other and were silent.

Zhang Zhao was very calm, without the slightest excitement, and there was an uncontrollable look of appreciation in the eyes of the three experienced people who looked at Sun Ce, and perhaps a little self-deprecation.

As I get older, I have seen more, and my understanding and views on world affairs are very different from those of these three men.

He didn't speak, perhaps he thought that this time should not be stopped by words, but should be more motivating the fighting spirit of these years.

Only with indomitable fighting spirit can there be morale, and with indomitable morale can we be invincible. Zhou Yu calmed down his emotions and continued to talk to Sun Ce and others about the strategy of attacking the two counties of Yangzhou and Jiangbei.

Sun Ce's soldiers and horses in the Jiangdong area had more than 30,000 people, and after the defeat of Guangling, the army was reduced by about 10,000.

With the current strength, it is not a problem to attack Jiangbei, but because Yuzhang County has the troops of Liu Xuan, Hua Xin, and Zhenrong, and the Lingyang area in the west of Danyang County has Tai Shici's army.

Therefore, the 10,000 troops of Zhu Zhi and Sun Ben of Danyang County could not move. In addition, considering that the army could not return in the short term after attacking Jiangbei, Wu County and Huiji County had to stay with troops.

In this way, Sun Ce could only lead 5,000 men and horses to cross the river to the north at most, and even if Zhou Yu's 3,000 soldiers were added, the total strength was only 8,000.

It was too difficult to take Jiujiang and Lujiang counties in a very short period of time with 8,000 people.

"In order to be able to personally gather more troops to cross the river and go north, can Brother Bofu shake hands with Liu Miao and Hua Xin on the grounds of crusading against Yuan Shu?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said with a smile.

"Although we have been fighting with Liu Miao for three years, Liu Miao is obviously at a disadvantage, and if we take the initiative to negotiate peace with him at this time, he should be very happy." Sun Ce hesitated for a moment and turned his face to look at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao's face was cold, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. Negotiating peace with Liu Xuan is equivalent to negotiating peace with Zhen, and Zhang Zhao obviously will not agree.

Of course, Zhou Yu understood Sun Ce and Zhang Zhao's thoughts, so he smiled slightly and made an explanation. Since we drove Liu Miao to Yuzhang County, why haven't we taken Yuzhang County yet?

Why has his army been blocked in the area of Jingyang and Lingyang in the west of Danyang County? The reason is very simple, when Liu Miao and Zhenrong retreated to Yuzhang, they still had considerable strength.

As long as they join forces, with our current strength, it will be difficult to make an inch. The more we fight, the greater the determination of the two to join forces, and the less contradictions there will be between the two.

In the end, we got nothing. Therefore, let's take a step back and give Liu Miao and Zhenrong a stable time, so that they can fight for Yuzhang County.

When both of them are defeated, we will be able to win Yuzhang without much effort. After taking Yuzhang, we can directly kill Jingzhou.

The ostensible purpose of taking the initiative to negotiate with Liu Miao was to capture the two counties of Jiangbei, but the real purpose was to take Yuzhang County and open up the road to Jingzhou.

Liu Miao and Zhenrong have always had a grudge, and you all know it. Three years ago, after we successfully crossed the river to attack, Zhen Rong and Xue Libing retreated to Yuzhang, and Liu Miao and Tai Shici were still fighting fiercely with us in the area of Wu County.

When Zhenrong and Xue Libing retreated to Yuzhang, Zhu Hao, the Taishou of Yuzhang at that time, and Zhuge Xuan, the Taishou of Yuzhang sent by Yuan Shu, attacked each other, competed for Yuzhang, and forced Zhuge Xuan to retreat to Xicheng.

After Liu Miao was defeated by Sun Ce, he went west to the west and garrisoned Pengze. After hearing the news of the fierce battle between Zhu Hao and Zhuge Xuan, he wrote to Zhen Rong and ordered him to lead the army to help Zhu Hao deal with Zhuge Xuan together and keep his last foothold.

It's a pity that Liu Xuan's trust is not human, and Zhenrong's nature is difficult to change, thinking that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and he can take Yuzhang and no longer be controlled by others.

Hua Xin pointed out to Liu Miao that Zhu Rong had a bad nature and was a trustworthy villain, and Zhu Hao had always treated people with integrity, had a good nature, and was easily poisoned by Zhu Rong, and might be killed like Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling, and Zhu Hao should be notified as soon as possible to guard against Zhen Rong, but it was too late.

Zhen Rong betrayed his master and abandoned his friends, decisively raised his knife to kill Zhu Hao, and seized Yuzhang. Liu Miao was remorseful, worshiped Huaxin as Yuzhang Taishou, and the two marched together to attack Zhenrong, but because Liu Ce's army attacked continuously in his rear, Liu Xuan was defeated by Zhenrong several times.

Zhu Hao's elder brother, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Zhu Fu almost sent troops north to avenge his brother, but was persuaded by Mu Zi and temporarily withheld it.

After Zhenrong used shameless means to seize Yuzhang, it was difficult to gain the support of the people, and life became more and more difficult, and gradually retreated to the southeast of Yuzhang County, while Liu Miao and Hua Xin were repeatedly attacked by Sun Ce, and they were no longer able to take care of Zhenrong.

In order to survive, the two parties negotiated peace and turned to work together to deal with Sun Ce. In order to re-provoke the war between Liu Miao and Zhenrong and let them fight each other in Yuzhang, we must not only take the initiative to negotiate peace with Liu Xuan, but also pretend to agree to all the conditions of Liu Xuan.

In this way, we can not only recruit more troops to attack Yuan Shu in the north, but also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, kill Zhen Rong with Liu Xuan's knife, and we can also wait for the opportunity to take Yuzhang.

Zhou Yu's strategy was unanimously appreciated by everyone. Zhang Zhao's reserved face also showed a rare smile.

solved the worries, and then sent people to the north to discuss Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and presented a guilty table to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court.

Sun Ce took advantage of the emptiness of Xuzhou's troops to attack Guangling, and formed a hatred with Cao Cao and Liu Bei. If this person who goes north to negotiate peace chooses badly, it is very likely that his previous achievements will be wasted.

Zhang Zhaozhi recommended Wang Lang, the former Huiji County Taishou. Wang Lang is a famous person in Xuzhou, and he is close friends with Xuzhou officials Chen Deng, Zhu Zhu, Sun Qian and others.

If he goes north to negotiate peace, he will definitely succeed. In addition, Sun Ce had just conquered Huiji County, and Wang Lang had a lot of influence in Huiji County.

When Sun Ce went north to attack Yuan Shu, it was not safe to leave this man in Jiangdong. When he went to Yuzhang County to discuss peace with Liu Xuan, Zhang Zhao recommended his friend Zhang Hong, a native of Guangling.

At the end of September, when Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others were deploying their troops and Huaibei crossed the river to start attacking, Yuan Shu's letter was delivered to Moling.

In the Battle of Jizhou, the outcome of the Northern Expeditionary Army having to retreat due to Yuan Shu's betrayal was expected by everyone, but the heavy losses suffered by the Northern Expeditionary Army on the way to retreat greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Hebei's strength is too strong. In addition to being shocked, in the face of the Central Plains War that had begun, everyone had a confusing and unpredictable feeling.

Will Yuan Shao come forward to support Yuan Shu? Will the Northern Xinjiang Army take advantage of the situation to cross the river and go south? If Yuan Shu had received the support of Yuan Shao and defeated Cao Cao to capture the Central Plains, the situation in the world would have changed dramatically, and at that time, what would be the fate of Sun Ce's betrayal?

Can Sun Ce still hold Jiangdong? Yuan Shao's attitude determined the fate of Yuan Shu, the outcome of the Central Plains War, and the life and death of Jiangdong Zhonghao.

Sun Ce felt that a bloody war knife was raised on the head of Jiangdong Zhonghao at this time, and if he was not careful, the war knife would fall with a thunderous blow, and the jade would be burned.

Sun Ce hesitated. Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others took Yuan Shu's letter and gathered around the map to discuss the situation.

After the Battle of Jizhou, Hebei suffered heavy losses, and there was a rebellion in Liaodong, so it was unable to cross the river to the south in the short term.

Yuan Shao's strength is still strong. Cao Cao's three alliances were battered and on the verge of breaking. Yuan Shu's public betrayal has become the target of public criticism.

At this time, the Battle of the Central Plains happened to be the best opportunity for Yuan Shao to defeat Cao Cao and Yuan Shu and monopolize the Central Plains, and the possibility of Yuan Shao helping Yuan Shu defeat Cao Cao was almost none.

If Yuan Shao occupies the Central Plains, his strength will be strong enough to fight Hebei. Then, no matter whether Sun Ce betrayed Yuan Shu or not, he would eventually become the target of Yuan Shao's attack.

Since Yuan Shao will not help Yuan Shu, he has the intention to put Yuan Shu to death, and since Yuan Shao will have to stretch out his hand to Jiangdong sooner or later, then Sun Ce attacked Yuan Shu and occupied the two counties of Yangzhou and Jiangbei, which is equivalent to helping Cao Cao keep the Central Plains.

Cao Cao kept the Central Plains and formed a strong trend with Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce was equivalent to keeping Jiangdong and buying time for Jiangdong's development.

In addition, now that the Son of Heaven is in Cao Cao's hands, helping Cao Cao is equivalent to helping the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, from this point of view, it is correct to attack Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce and Jiangdong will get the greatest benefit from this attack.

After Sun Ce attacked Yuan, Yuan Shu would suffer a heavy blow, and he would either be killed by Cao Cao or defect to Yuan Shao, but no matter what choice Yuan Shu made, the feud between Sun Ce and Yuan Shu was settled.

In this way, Sun Ce could only be tightly tied to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and Cao Cao would once again rebuild the alliance of the three to fight against Yuan Shao.

With Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the Central Plains as his backing, Sun Ce could take the opportunity to vigorously develop Jiangdong and quickly kill Jingzhou.

Jingzhou Liu Biao and Yuan Shao have always been solid allies, fighting Jingzhou, one can avenge Sun Jian, the second can expand the strength to achieve Jiangdong hegemony, the third can threaten Yuan Shao with Cao Cao from the east and south, and the fourth can use Jingzhou as a foothold to plot north to occupy the Central Plains, so as to realize the grand ambition of pacifying the world and reviving the Han Dynasty in the future.

The incisive analysis of Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others gave Sun Ce a lot of confidence, and he thought twice and finally made up his mind.

October of the first year of the founding of the Han Dynasty (197 AD). On the end of October, Jinyang. When the general Li Hong arrived at Longshan, he came to greet Taichangqing Xun You.

Li Hong talked and laughed with Xun You affectionately, but he felt a little strange in his heart. According to the usual practice, it should be Xian Yufu and Li Wei who went out of the city to welcome him back to the court, why did Xun Yu come today?

I have been away from Jinyang for more than half a year, and many things in the DPRK and China need Xian Yufu and Li Wei to ventilate to me first, what is going on today?

Xun You seemed to know the doubts in Li Hong's heart. After greeting Li Hong, he immediately explained: "The general won a complete victory in Jizhou, and his military exploits were brilliant, and His Majesty, the eldest princess, and the ministers of the court and the central government specially prepared a grand ceremony for the general to enter the city in order to thank the general for everything he did for the Han. At that time, His Majesty, the eldest princess, the Chinese military minister, and hundreds of thousands of people will gather under Jinyang City to welcome the triumphant return of the great general. ”

"At this moment, the eldest princess and the ministers of the court, including Lord Xian Yu and Lord Li, are busy in the city for tomorrow's ceremony." Xun You bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"The two adults will rush to Longshan tomorrow morning to welcome the general back to the court." Li Hong was stunned, and suddenly felt wrong.

I am very opposed to this kind of extravagant and luxurious etiquette, and Northern Xinjiang has never held any celebration gifts for so many years.

Everyone knows about this matter, from the eldest princess to the ordinary officials in the court. Why did you suddenly go against the norm this time and hold such a big gift?

Li Hong took a closer look at Xun You. Xun You's smile was very kind, but a faint sadness could be faintly seen between his eyebrows.

"General, the Longshan camp has arrived. Please go to camp and rest. Hu Ben Zhonglang, who accompanied Xun Yu to greet Li Hong, said respectfully.

Li Hong looked up at the military camp under the mountains in the distance, then looked up at the sky, and shook his head,

"Return to Jinyang immediately." Xun You and Duan Xuan were taken aback. Duan Xuan waved his arm and persuaded softly: "General, Your Majesty has a will, please ......"

"I'll go back and ask Your Majesty for guilt." Li Hong's tone was unquestionable.

"Return to Jinyang immediately."

"General, it's nearly dusk. If you want to go back to Jinyang, it's the middle of the night. Xun You hurriedly dissuaded,

"The eldest princess and the ministers have been busy for tomorrow's ceremony for more than half a month, if you return to Jinyang overnight, what about tomorrow's ceremony?" Li Hong shook his head, stopped talking, and then sighed.

He wanted to say that because the army lacked money and food, the number of troops attacking Hanoi had been reduced to a minimum. But it's so unreasonable that you're here to celebrate and spend money in a lavish way.

When the words came to his lips, he remembered that there might be something else hidden in this matter, and swallowed it back.

"Back to Jinyang." Li Hong said loudly. Li Hong did not ride a horse, but sat in a carriage with Xun You.

It was getting darker and darker, and the inside of the carriage was gradually plunged into darkness. Li Hong sat opposite Xun You, his eyes closed.

Xun You crossed his arms and lowered his head, as if he was asleep. Li Hong couldn't help it, he sat up straight suddenly, stretched out his hand and pushed Xun You,

"Lord Xun, you always have to say something to me, right?" Xun You looked up at Li Hong, hesitated for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "General, do you think the current three-metric system of the imperial court is appropriate?" Li Hong Huoran realized, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

In order to compete with China and North Korea for power, the ministers of the foreign court fought again. Since Zhang Wen and other seven old ministers arrived in Northern Xinjiang, the struggle between prime minister and imperial power has intensified.

Zhang Wen and other people mainly revised the official system, re-established the system of three princes and nine secretaries headed by the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant and the imperial historian, and vigorously cut off the power of Shangshutai.

After Emperor Xiaoxian arrived in Jinyang, Zhang Wen and other ministers insisted on revising the official system. However, due to the resistance of Emperor Xiaoxian, he had to mediate and force the ministers of the foreign dynasty to give way, push the eldest princess to the front to lead the Shangshu affairs, and made a six-year covenant.

Six years later, Emperor Xiaoxian was in charge, and the eldest princess returned this part of the power to the foreign dynasty through restructuring within six years.

However, no one expected that the emperor would die. The consequences of the emperor's death were severe. First of all, Hebei ushered in the Jizhou War, and secondly, the eldest princess took charge of state affairs.

The former forced Hebei into a difficult situation, and the latter forced the imperial court into a struggle between imperial power and relative power. Li Hong now regrets it, he knows that the mistake he made at the beginning was fatal, and this mistake led to a series of crises in Hebei.

If he had resolutely stood on the side of Zhang Wen and other foreign court ministers and refused to return the power, and forcibly moved the Son of Heaven to Jinyang, there would have been no later Jinyang rebellion case, the emperor would not have died, and this year's Jizhou War and the current court crisis would not have appeared.

Li Hong was remorseful.

"How long has this been?" Li Hong asked weakly.

"It began when the general decided to change the operation on the outer line to the inner line and move a million people out of the war zone." Xun You said in a low voice,

At that time, many ministers of the DPRK and China opposed fighting on the inner front, but due to the resolute support of the eldest princess and many ministers, the general's decision was successfully passed. From this incident on, the eldest princess and the monk Shangtai monopolized power, and all political matters unrelated to the Jizhou War were shelved, and the contradictions between the outer court and China and North Korea were finally stimulated. Xun You's second half of the sentence was very vague, but the key was in the second half of the sentence.

Li Hong frowned slightly, and asked: "What are all the political affairs that have nothing to do with the Jizhou War?" Xun You did not answer.

"The eldest princess and monk Shangshutai monopolized the power, starting from shelving all political affairs that have nothing to do with the Jizhou War? Or do you want to start by deciding to support my decision to fight Jizhou? Xun You still didn't answer.

"Lord Xun, you must explain this matter to me clearly, otherwise who should I listen to when I return to Jinyang? Is it to listen to the eldest princess, or to listen to the ministers of the foreign court? Xun You still didn't answer.

"Lord Xun, who provoked this? Isn't it a foreign minister? Li Hong's voice suddenly became stern,

"Is it the Three Princes and Nine Princes including you? Does it include ministers such as Xian Yufu and Li Wei? Xun You looked at Li Hong in the dark and nodded.

"Lord Xun, I would like to hear your explanation." Li Hong slammed the car door open, and waved his hand arbitrarily at Cao, the thief under the door guarding the carriage,

"Give the order, stop the march, and rest on the spot." Li Hong closed the car door, looked at Xun Yu with both eyes, and waited patiently.

Xun You thought for a long time and began to slowly talk about what had happened in Jinyang in the past few months. After the Jizhou War was changed to an internal war, a series of problems were immediately involved, the biggest of which was the northward movement of a million people and the year-long relief for this million people, as well as the food shortage caused by the fallow of dozens of counties in the southern part of Jizhou.

The shortage of money and food immediately became the biggest problem that the imperial court needed to solve. If this problem is not solved, the life of the imperial court will be difficult next year.

Western Xinjiang and border counties all need relief and money and grain. If the money and grain could not be delivered to Xijiang and the border counties in time, Han Sui of Xiliang was likely to betray the imperial court, and the Hu people of the border counties were likely to take advantage of the opportunity of Kirby Xiong's claim to be king in the desert and the rebellion in Liaodong to cause trouble in the desert and the border fortress.

Once the western frontier is out of control, and once the border counties rekindle the flames of war, it will be more difficult for the imperial court to pull Han Sui back and stabilize the border fortress again.

In order to solve the problem of money and grain, the foreign ministers agreed on a series of contingency plans, which involved taxation, salt and iron, land system, cargo breeding, agriculture and animal husbandry, water conservancy, and so on.

However, there are only three states in Hebei, and only Jizhou can provide the imperial court with the financial endowment it needs, so the result of the implementation of these emergency plans is nothing more than to increase the burden on the people of Hebei and delay the pace of Hebei's accelerated development.

This was the only way to survive the current situation, but the eldest princess and a group of ministers from Shangshutai ignored it and shelved it after careful deliberation.

Of course, the eldest princess will not sit idly by and ignore the current situation in Hebei, and she also put forward a bill, which provoked the fierce struggle for power between foreign and Chinese dynasties.

The eldest princess planned to increase the financial income of the imperial court by promoting land cutting and renting shade households. The so-called land break refers to the re-demarcation of the boundaries of the counties and counties, and then the unified household registration is compiled according to the Xinjiang boundaries of the counties, and all residents within the boundaries of the counties and counties are registered in the official household registration of the counties and counties where they live, so that the imperial court can collect taxes and levy the levies of the people in the unified manner.

The imperial court is implementing

At the time of "counting the dictation of the field", a unified household registration had been compiled, why did the eldest princess still implement the policy of breaking the land again?

Because it is attached to the shade of the gate valve wealthy family. The so-called shade household is a part of the household registration controlled by the wealthy clan of the gate lord by virtue of their privileges and power, including slaves, servants, slaves and maids, as well as tenants who rent the land of the wealthy clan of the gate lord, as well as poor clans and guests.

They are all attached to the gate lord family. In addition to paying rent and performing labor for his farming, he also served as a private soldier, a home guard, and a patrol guard.

These shaded households, which were under the control of powerful landlords, were hidden under the doors of the wealthy clans, and no longer had any relationship with the imperial court.

of the Imperial Court

The regulations of the "counting and granting land" system are very clear, and the shaded households of the wealthy families of the gate valve must be registered in the household register, and the land shall be granted equally, and the taxes and servants shall be paid equally.

But the imperial court has the policies of the imperial court, and the gate valve rich have the countermeasures of the gate valve rich.

In the two years since the implementation of the "counting and dictating fields" system, due to the imperfection of the system and the turmoil in the period, the result has been that the wealthy men have seized all the loopholes in the field system, resulting in the imperial court granting the fields to these shade households, but failing to collect all the taxes of these shade households.

The policy of land cutting off was implemented in order to rent the land of the shady households and levy the conscription of the shady households. Secondly, after the implementation of the policy of land breaking, the royal family and the Hu clan of the border county also became the objects of taxation by the imperial court.

There is a special one in the clan of this dynasty

"Clan name", the county time, reported separately

"Zongzheng" is not in the company of the people. These clans, including their households, were not required to pay taxes to the imperial court.

In addition, the Hu people in the border county area of this dynasty, because of various relationships, many Hu people were not included in the imperial court household, which also caused the imperial court to lose part of the taxes.

The eldest princess's policy of breaking off the land and leviing rents on the tenants this time was directly aimed at the royal family and the wealthy of the gate lords, and the waves caused by this can be imagined.

The eldest princess suddenly became the target of everyone.

"When did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell me? After listening to Xun You's narration, Li Hong was extremely shocked.

"That was three months ago. Before the general left Jinyang, he had said it to the ministers. Don't tell you anything that has nothing to do with the Jizhou War, and after the eldest princess took out this bill, she also repeatedly warned the ministers not to tell the general. The Jizhou War is related to the survival of Sheji, who dares to influence you to fight at this critical moment? Xun You sighed lightly,

"This bill involves a wide range of issues and takes time to discuss, so before there is no result, there is a tacit understanding between the top and bottom of the court, and no one will bother you, but ......" Xun You glanced at Li Hong nervously, and shook his head again and again,

"Last month, at the most critical juncture of the Jizhou War, the eldest princess, despite the dissuasion of the ministers, suddenly issued an order and ordered Taiyuan County and Hedong County to immediately start experimenting with the new policy." Taiyuan Taishou Tianyu and Hedong Taishou Zuoyan are both staunch supporters of the new policy.

There are many royal relatives in these two counties, and there are many wealthy people, one has the eldest princess at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the other has the support of the rear general Xu Rong in Hedong, so Tian Yu and Zuo Yan took the lead in implementing the new policy despite the resistance.

The contradiction between the ministers of the court and the eldest princess immediately became white-hot, and the two sides used their own tricks, fighting from the court to the two counties, and they did not give in to each other.

The eldest princess was weak and gradually disadvantaged, but at this time, the news of the Liaodong rebellion reached Jinyang.

The spearhead of the ministers of the DPRK and China was pointed at Xu Rong almost at the same time. The eldest princess had no choice but to recall Xu Rong.

Zuo Yan was alone in Hedong, and the implementation of the new policy in Hedong came to a standstill. After the initial shock, Li Hong slowly calmed down.

He knew what the eldest princess and the ministers of the court and the central government meant by holding a grand ceremony to welcome him back to the court. The princess needs her own help and support to maintain the majesty of imperial power.

The ministers also need their own help and support to suppress the extremely inflated imperial power, regain the lost power, and maintain the checks and balances between the two.

Li Hong closed his eyes in the dark and thought silently for a long time.

"The Yin households in the three prefectures of Hebei, the Hu tribes in the border counties, how many people are there in total?" Xun You was also pondering, he was awakened by Li Hong's words,

"There are about 3 million people in the shade of the three prefectures of Hebei, and about 1 million people in the Hu tribes of the border counties, including the Xiongnu in Hexi and the Qiang people in the western Xinjiang." Li Hong was startled and involuntarily sat up straight,

"Three million shade households? There are so many shaded households in the three states of Hebei? ”

"Do you know how many displaced people and disaster victims have crossed the river to the north every year since the adults arrived in northern Xinjiang?" Xun You smiled bitterly,

"During the war, how many ownerless fields were privately swallowed by the rich men and lords in various places, do you know? Do you know who is cultivating those fields of the gate tycoons themselves? Li Hong shook his head in disbelief, no wonder the eldest princess was so determined that she dared to be an enemy of the entire Jinyang court.

This little princess has really grown up.

"Lord Xun, do you think that the eldest princess's implementation of the policy of land breaking and renting shade households is beneficial to Zhongxing Dahan?" Xun You hid in the darkness without any sound.
