When Yan Bei entered the Taishou Official Office, he was not idle, in fact, he had not been idle for a long time. www.biquge.info Although his official position is too guarded, the responsibilities he shoulders are not just too guards.

He was the Taishou, and he also had the responsibility of joining the army of Liaodong soldiers and horses, and also had jurisdiction over the 4,725 hectares of private land under the names of Tiewu and Yanbei, as well as the money and grain dispatch of 15,000 warriors in the land of Liaodong. Aside from these, there are also foreign movements in the surrounding Xianbei, Wuhuan, Goguryeo, and Buyeo directions that need to be controlled.

Yan Bei leaned on the porch with his arms crossed, watching Fu Zhu write a secret letter and send it out, and then Guo Yuan, who was standing outside the official office, entered again to discuss the matter of Tuntian with Fu Zhu for a while, and then agreed to talk again in the evening, and after greeting Yan Bei, Guo Yuan left, and then Zhao Fan, who was the official in the county, entered the room with a book slip, and reported to Fu Zhu the winter clothes and rewards that needed to be allocated to each county in winter...... The list goes on.

Seeing others greeting him, Yan Bei gave them a look and told them not to speak, so one by one the county officials who came out of the official room left lightly, but they didn't know that Yan Bei had come.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Bei ordered the servants walking around in the official office to fetch some honey syrup and sake, and wait outside the official office.

After a while, Yan Bei looked at the frustration from a distance and was almost busy, so he coughed lightly under the door, and said to the frustration with a smile on his face: "How is it, it's hard?" ”

"When did the lord come?" Frustrated and rubbed his forehead to get up, and just wanted to move twice, he saw Yan Bei standing outside the door with a smile, and hurriedly knelt down again, and said to Yan Bei: "Please come in quickly." ”

Yan Bei rubbed his hands, the heavy snow has stopped in the past few days, but it is colder than the previous snow, smiled and beckoned into the room to sit opposite the frustrated teacher, and ordered the servants of the official office to put the honey syrup sake on a wooden plate next to it, and gestured with his hand: "I ordered someone to take some warm syrup, and drink it, this is too tiring." ”

Fu Zhu smiled and poured honey syrup into Yanbei's bowl first, and then served it for himself, shook his head and said: "This is nothing, now the important officials in the county are filled with talented people, and it will be easier next year." That is, when the year is approaching, you will be touched by the most tired time, otherwise you usually have leisure to read some books every day. ”

"Guo Yuan and Zhao Fan, what are the talents of the two of them?" Yan Bei blew the honey syrup and said: "It's good that you are not very tired, you are the pillar of the county, if it is cold today, there is a headache and brain fever, and half of this Liaodong County will collapse." ”

Fu Zhu nodded and thanked Yan Bei for his concern, and then said: "Zhao Fan's talent is good, he has a foundation in arithmetic and scripture, he is a good scribe, and he has a county talent at a young age; Guozini is a real talent...... No, this is the idea that Guozi Ni just gave me about Tuntian, and my subordinates thought that it was very useful for compiling the words of the township and the doctor. ”

Yan Bei nodded and opened the book, looking at it slowly, and couldn't help nodding during it. He planned to organize the field soldiers and their families in Liaodong into 20 townships distributed throughout the county, with Qu Junhou as the chief official, and from next year onwards, they would each reclaim the barren land, and in addition to the more than 4,700 hectares of land under the name of Yanbei, the newly reclaimed barren land would belong to the field pawn and pay taxes to the county government.

From a rough point of view, it made Yan Bei frown. This year, they opened up 4,000 hectares of wasteland, and next year they can open up at least 3,000 hectares, and with the construction of Liaodong and the vacancy of more wasteland, the land under the name of Yanbei is likely to reach 10,000 hectares, becoming the largest landlord in Youzhou and even the entire northern part of the empire, and the grain produced in one year will be enough for the needs of Liaodong County for three years and five years.

If you follow Guoyuan's suggestion, then the land under Yanbei's name may only be less than 5,000 hectares, which is equivalent to cutting off the benefits that Yanbei may obtain, what good will it do him?

But after looking at it, Yan Bei's brows slowly expanded, and even a smile appeared on his face.

The second half of Guoyuan's book seems to have been written to persuade Yanbei. First of all, these field soldiers are still serving Yanbei, their families will have enough labor to cultivate the fields, these warriors who have participated in the war will continue to be led by the military marquis to form a township and train soldiers, in the next year, they will reclaim more than 5,000 hectares of land, these lands can be taken out of half or even one-third, to encourage those who perform better in the drill and land reclamation of 2,000 to 3,000 people, by the next year will be able to completely digest these 10,000 field soldiers, each field soldier will have 50 acres of land, Become a farmer and a farmer.

The benefits are obvious, Yanbei no longer needs to continue to provide grain, grass and money for this 10,000 field soldiers, this alone can save him 230,000 stone of grain every year, which is more than 43 million yuan in exchange for a lot of money. There are also more than 20 million dollars for the clothing and soldiers of the soldiers, and this part of the money will also be saved.

Because they owned the land, they could buy the food and clothing they needed for their lives, and even the ring swords and armor that some of the people used in battle, within two years.

And those fields that are rewarded can be taxed at higher rates, such as three taxes and one ten times that of the common people in the first year; This will also be a huge annual income in the county, and these military households will be easier to manage than ordinary people, because they have just changed to a camp called so-and-so township to live with their wives and children.

In addition, their money will eventually be spent in the county's commercial markets, and now the commercial markets in Liaodong County are completely controlled by Yanbei...... The money will eventually return to Yanbei.

Everyone was happy.

"This country is ...... Good! Good! That's great! Yan Bei closed the book, slammed his fist on the desk and said: "If it is really as he said, next year half of the field soldiers will be rewarded with 50 acres of land, and the next year 10,000 field soldiers will everyone have 50 acres of land, and the county will have 200,000 stone of grain and tens of millions of dollars left every year, with this money, we will be able to recruit more field soldiers and move in more people!" ”

This time it was his turn to be surprised, he just thought that the county would be able to enrich the treasury after opening up sources and reducing expenditure, but he didn't expect that what Yan Bei saw was completely different from him, and couldn't help asking: "The lord still wants to recruit troops?" Recruiting a pawn? ”

"Not only the field soldiers, if this batch of field soldiers is turned into a field household, I plan to first draw 6,000 elite soldiers from the field soldiers, and then recruit 10,000 young and strong men to fill the field soldiers." Yan Bei drank all the honey syrup, poured sake, crossed his legs and changed into a comfortable posture, sighed and said to Fu Zhu: "This time I went to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, and the deepest feeling I have is that the Central Plains is getting more and more chaotic...... In these troubled times, if we don't have soldiers in our hands, we are fish on the chopping board, but I don't want to be fish. ”

The chaos in the Central Plains had already been heard about in the correspondence with Yan Bei, and he squinted his eyes and asked Yan Bei, "What is the lord going to do?" ”

"When I came back in Jixian County, I said to Liu Gong that I wanted to strike first, take advantage of the opportunity when my army is strong, and the Kwantung scholars will be ready to rise, and lead the troops south in the spring of the next year, first sweep Jizhou, and then cross the river to take the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan, and Henan, and defend Liu Gong with the momentum of the six states.

"Suck ......" To be honest, he was shocked by Yan Bei's words, he was not like Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Jaw, those two people did not have too accurate judgment of the world, so they didn't think about the possibility of this matter at all and directly thought that they didn't have such ability. Although they really don't have such ability, if the west of the world is the land of Dong Zhuo, and the east of the world is the land of scholars, Dong Zhuo's army is strong and the reputation of the scholars is high, so no one would have thought that Yanbei would have the ability to seize the six states. But Fu Zhu didn't think so, he leaned forward, looked directly at Yan Bei and even a little eagerly, and asked, "How does Liu Gong answer?" ”

I feel that Yanbei's plan can be realized, and it can really be achieved! The books they read made them more proud, giving them the illusion of a new prestige. But even if he can see it clearly now, why did Dong Zhuo drive them out of Luoyang like exile? Isn't it the soldiers and horses in hand! Why did Yanbei and his party become the overlords of Liaodong, not because of the soldiers and horses in their hands!

The whole world is changing, and soldiers and horses have become extremely important. Maybe the soldiers and horses are not so important now, because only a small group of people such as Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yan Bei, etc., who believe in force, but now the soldiers are not also recruiting soldiers on a large scale...... Dong Zhuo's handful plus scholars, isn't that the whole world.

Yanbei wants to go south to the six states, and they are so defenseless that they will be drawn from the bottom of the kettle. At that time, Dong Zhuo is in charge of the merger, Liang, and Si Li, and Liu Yu is in charge of the east and north six states, isn't that exactly what Yanbei said about the situation of the division of courts?

These people have become the men closest to the power in the world.

Yan Bei held the wine bowl and wanted to touch Fu Zhu, but Fu Zhu didn't move, just asked, "Lord, what did Liu Gong say?" ”

Yan Bei pursed his lips and looked away, squeezed his eyes and said, "What else, Liu Gong didn't agree, otherwise I would have started to prepare the troops and horses by now." ”

Call!

Hearing Yan Bei say this, his frustrated heart drooped, he looked at Yan Bei helplessly, and very consciously picked up the bowl containing honey syrup and touched Yan Bei, drank it all, and asked, "What is the lord going to do?" ”

"What else, don't have that life? Speaking of which, I remembered that Liu Bei told me before he left today, and he said that Xuande was embarrassed! Yan Bei had a wry smile on his face, "I don't think Liu Gong doesn't believe me, on the contrary, I think he believes in this matter, but he doesn't want to do it." ”

"Don't worry about the affairs of the Central Plains, although our forces are still very weak, but it is not something that those behemoths can ignore, this time in Jizhou, Dong Zhuo accepted my advice to let Montenegro surrender, Yuan Shao sent someone to send me Guo Daxian's head, Han Fu regarded us as a lifesaver...... No matter who wins, we won't be short of good. Now I'm worried about the neighbors to the west and north, what is Gongsun Du doing again, I heard a report that he has detained the envoys of the Buyeo people without permission? ”

"That's right, Gongsun Du's heart has been unsubmissive for a long time. Now it seems that Gongsun Du wants to be supported by the Buyeo people, but if we work hard and guide a little, we may be able to become the catastrophe of Gongsun Du. There was no smile on his face, he pursed his lips slightly and drew a map on the wine plate, and said to Yan Bei: "My lord, please look at ......"
