After five years of farming, Handan entered a period of large-scale construction.

Yanbei, who had been crowned King of Zhao for several years, finally found a sense of peace of mind after receiving the news of Sun's flight overseas. This is not to say that the Sun family is a great threat to the king of Zhao, in fact, the Sun family has always been no threat to the Zhao country, but they are just small princes who have divided a land, and it is precisely because they are harmless to humans and animals that Yanbei feels that it is a good thing to force them away.

After all, Jiangdong is located in the southeast, and Yan's main enemies Liu Bei and Cao Cao are located in the southwest, and the two-sided battle has brought great pressure to the transportation of baggage.

Yangzhou rice is very good, although there have not been many people in the southeast, and the transportation is not as convenient as the Central Plains, but because there has been no war for many years, the people in the state have not been able to farm like many places in the north because of the war caused by the barren fields, so Yangzhou's grain output can even be compared with the Central Plains.

This formed Sizhou for the Yan clan to supply Yizhou Ma Chao and Zhao Yunjun; Yangzhou sent supplies to Zhangliao in Jingzhou by water, and the western part of Yanzhou and northern Jingzhou to Zhang's army, which further reduced the pressure on Zhao.

This year, Yanbei sent two armies as usual, one was the Taishi Cibu who had already had experience in going out of the fortress from Youzhou, stabilized the Tingsai along the way, and went west to conquer Budugen; The other is the army of the Western Regions led by Lu Yi, which shouldered the mission of cleaning up Song Jian and bringing Zhang Lu to spread Taoism to the west into Liangzhou and marching towards the Western Regions.

It has only been two months since he left, and Chen Qun has already sent four or five letters to Yanbei in Liangzhou, frankly saying that Liangzhou is under great pressure, hoping to reduce the supply to Zhao Yunbu. Come to think of it, Liangzhou was originally a bitter cold place, and even after belonging to the Yan family, the court did not have the ability to make much changes in Liangzhou. It is not easy for Chen Qun to be able to govern the Liangzhou Thorn History Department, where the Han and Qiang live together, and the local people in Liangzhou can't eat well, so where can he get the food to supply the Lu Yi Army's westward expedition.

At most, Liangzhou can only assume the responsibility of the grain road, and the source of the soldier's grain still depends on the tuntian of Sizhou.

In fact, the first place where Tuntian appeared in the Han Dynasty was the military tun when General Fubo Ma aided the troops in Liangzhou, but now it has long been decayed, even if the county soldiers who supply all over Liangzhou are still insufficient, not to mention the western army of Lu Yi? Now there is only one place where the Tuntian owned by Zhao State has really become large-scale, and that is the richest place in Guanzhong in the past.

At the earliest, the Yan clan was in Tuntian, Liaodong and even the four counties of Youdong, but later due to the impact of Tian Ce, the military tun was distributed to the people, and now the Yan clan does not have much land for itself in Liaodong, let alone Tuntian. However, in the past, Sizhou, where every inch of land was valuable, because Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital caused chaos in Sizhou, he was exploited by Yanbei, and the best fields were uncultivated, and all of them were cheaper for him.

Later, the Black Mountain military and the Baibo military and the civilian were sent to Sizhou, and what they did was the work of Tuntian. Up to now, in addition to the less than 30,000 troops left in Sizhou, the 300,000 troops transferred to Guanzhong have all become farming people. If Yanbei ruled the four counties of Youdong and suddenly gave him 300,000 troops, he would definitely be overjoyed, but when he commanded Youji, and then took out the 300,000 troops composed of Baibo and Montenegro, to be honest, he couldn't look down on it.

Yanbei's military thinking has been changing, in the early years, he used his old brothers, Jiang Jin and Wang Yi They didn't know as much as him, recruiting and training and even marching and fighting all by themselves, never felt how good they were, but they didn't feel how failed they were, because there was no comparison.

But this is not the case later, since Lu Yi trained elite soldiers under his command to conquer the south and the north, he watched an army comparable to the heyday of the Han Dynasty born under his rule, not to mention that the sour jujube alliance has seen all the princes of the world, and then to see the chaotic army of Black Mountain Baibo, where will he still see pleasing to the eye.

The soldiers of Black Mountain Baibo, it is okay to use them to fight a smooth battle, but it is difficult to fight against the princes as the main force. But I have to say that although it is not possible to fight, it is a good hand to let them farm the land.

But even so, there was not much left of the fields in Sizhou under the purchase of the people, and the military rations handed over to Ma Chao were all supported by taxes.

For a long time in the past, Yan Bei didn't understand what was good about Xun Yue's Tian Ce, he just felt that distributing the fields to the people could reduce the manpower burden on him to the greatest extent, so that more soldiers could become professional samurai, and they didn't have to delay the war because of farming. For this reason, giving up the money and grain brought by the vast fields is a worthwhile trade-off in Yanbei's view.

But it wasn't until Yanbei came to his current status that he really understood Xun Yuetian Ce's original intention and deep meaning.

To help him fight? Bullshit!

The real purpose of Tian Ce is to hide the wealth from the people, curb the gap between the people and the Haoyou after the land annexation, and take out most of the fields that originally belonged to the Haoqiang and the big clans and hand them over to the people, which makes most of the people have a surplus of money, and after living a prosperous life, they begin to read and write, learn martial arts, and learn the emperor. When Yanbei looks forward along this line of thought, he can see a very bright future.

The county, county, state, and even Taixue will usher in more students, and the status of ordinary Qianshou will be further improved, and the price of luxurious clothes and decorative handicrafts will rise, and the scholar family is likely to find unsuccessful children in the clan to do business.

Yanbei felt that the taxes collected by the merchants should be a little more. Even if there are more, it will be difficult to curb people's enthusiasm for business in the future. On the other hand, the proportion of craftsmen and apprentices will also increase, which seems to be a good thing.

King Zhao, who got up from the couch, sighed, he had been a businessman in the past, and he was not the best among them, and the shrewd businessmen he could think of could naturally think of it, so presumably the wise businessmen were now paving the trade routes.

However, Yanbei has more power than others, and he can't prevent others from taking profits, but he can decide where others will make profits - the so-called large-scale construction of Zhao State is not to build any useless viewing platforms, but to build a state and city between Handan and Changling, and collect and distribute goods for merchants who come and go.

The trader may not always make money, but the tax collector will always make money.

In front of Yanbei, there is a map of Zhuzhou, on which he has placed several wine vessels, and what is pressed under the wine vessel is what he expects to be the city opened by Zhuzhou, which will be the largest commercial market in a state in the future; The city of the city is opened under the county city; Counties and cities are opened under the county city; Open townships and cities under counties and cities; In this way, the abolition of the customs and defense tax will inevitably bring more money to the country.

This is much faster than the first emperor buying and selling officials!

When the money in the treasury is piling up, he can do more useful things for the world.
