Without the slightest surprise, the grand Sima of the dignified court ordered Youji to raise a donkey, which caused Yanbei to attract many jokes for no reason. It has been a long time since the imperial court moved east to Yecheng, and it has been a year since it was seen, and most of the courtiers have figured out Yanbei's character, neither as violent as Dong Zhuo nor as barbaric as Li Guo. Thereupon...... Everyone dared to laugh at him.

In fact, in many cases, the magnates who were born in a reckless manner are more tolerant of others than those noble relatives of the world, and they are more magnanimous in terms of good obedience. It's just that often, these powerful people don't feel.

In all fairness, whether it is Dong Zhuo, who is known as angry, or Li Dao Guo Yan, who is vulgar, under the direct words of Yang Biao, Sima Lang and others, most of them did not kill these ministers in anger. On the contrary, Wang Yun, who was born in a large family in Bingzhou, killed Cai Yong just because he compiled history...... Who are the real narrow-minded?

But it is also undeniable that compared with the disasters brought to the people, a hundred Wang Yun tied together are not as good as Dong Zhuo or Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Not to mention Yan Bei, although the number of people in the world who died because of him in the past years of wars has caused more than 100,000 people in the world to die because of him, he himself is not a tyrannical person with murderous intent, especially in the treatment of ministers and scholars. He is good at learning, which is not only reflected in his studiousness, but also because he knows how to summarize the experience of the failures of his predecessors, learn and remember the reasons for the success and failure of others.

After following Zhang Jiao to rebel, he saw that the reason for Zhang Jiao's failure was that he fell into the opposite side of the warrior clan and the powerful and strong, and accepted the bandits, so that he knew that it was not enough to simply connect the soldiers and the rebels of ordinary people, so when he followed Zhang Chun's rebellion, the mainstay of the army was not his old brothers in the past, but the reuse of Lu Yi and Gao Ran, the middle and lower level officers of the Han army who surrendered, and were able to stand out among the hundreds of thousands of chaotic troops.

Gongsun Zhan's troops were very strong, Yuan Shao's momentum was huge, but one of them was a poor soldier who did not know how to sympathize with the people, and the other was too selfish and gradually lost the scholars.

Later, Dong Zhuo opened a new door for him, and also let him see Dong Zhuo run the court with military might, watch Dong Zhuo succeed, see Dong Zhuo defeated, not to mention his own death, the entire clan was killed in Long Live Wu.

Now is the time for him to remember the failures of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo. People said that Dong Zhuo died of tyranny, but Yanbei thought that Dong Zhuo did a good job, but he was too careless, so he set up a school temple to deter the princes of the imperial court; Li Guo really died of tyranny and incomprehension, so the situation in Yecheng was stable, so that the ministers could perform their duties and ...... With Dong Zhuo's experience, Yanbei did not plan to win over the ministers to stand with him too early, including Zhong Xuan and Fu Wan, as long as they were not at odds with him.

Dong Zhuo was the first person to lead the army into Beijing to control the court, that is, he wanted to hold the authority, but he did not dare to go too far in some things, and his own soldiers and generals could only serve as generals. But in the era of Yanbei, it was different, he used Li Damu to guard the palace ban, and Tai Shici to guard the Yedu for the ruling Jinwu.

No one can do it better than him.

After looking for ambush to drink, he smiled and talked about Yanbei's order to raise donkeys, Fu Wan said that the secretary of state in Beijing said that this move was absurd, and Emperor Yousheng walked a donkey in the West Mansion, Yanbei just smiled and said to Fu Wan: "General Fuguo will wait and see, we will calm the world, and we may have to rely on these absurd things in a few years!" ”

His words surprised Fu Wan, and Yanbei's order to raise donkeys in the prefectures and counties was extremely huge, and within five years, all counties in Youji should build pastures that could raise as little as 100 heads and more than 1,000 heads according to taxes. It's not that no one thought that Yanbei would use these donkeys to go into the war, but instead of using such inputs to raise donkeys, it is better to build a horse farm...... Even if there is no shortage of horses in the two states of Youji, is there still too much such thing as war horses?

I wanted to ask anything more, but Yanbei didn't say anything.

It's not clear how vulgar are meat eaters? They only knew that donkeys were not as fast as war horses, but they did not know that donkeys were more than capable of pulling packs than war horses, and that they could transport baggage in war and plough the land in their spare time. He had them tried outside the city, and a donkey could plough three acres in a day by stepping on a plowshare.

Although it is not as good as a ploughing ox, it is much better than manpower. Where can ordinary people afford to buy cattle, I don't know how many people who don't even have cattle at home can only rely on manpower, and they can take care of forty acres of land all year round.

If it was in the past, forty or fifty acres of land would be a lot, after all, the price of land is expensive and there are many people...... But is it still the same as it used to be? Even if the two states of Youji have the largest number of people in the world, there are only 5 million people, because the war has left large areas of land deserted and no one to cultivate. In the more desolate Guanzhong, the rich Sizhou in the past now has only a few hundreds of thousands of people, and even only the same as the Bingzhou with few people and few fields, this is still because Yanbei moved people from Baibo and Montenegro into Guanzhong, otherwise it would be a red land.

The problem now is that there are fewer people and more land, and it is obviously not feasible to rely on human cultivation to cultivate the land. In the past, the decree implemented in Liaodong has been changed to Youzhou and Jizhou, as long as the family land has not arrived, Xunyue stipulates that the people of 200 acres can go to the county official temple to receive farm tools and fields, and the land will be given away for three years, and the first year will be tax-free. In this way, it is difficult to send the fields out, because they cannot be cultivated.

Relying only on manpower and agricultural tools, where can so much land be cultivated? Even if you look greedy, you don't dare to receive it, because the state government has a field governor, and the tax is collected according to the number of acres of land, regardless of the harvest. That is to say, if the family has 200 acres of land, even if only 50 acres are cultivated, the taxes at the time of the harvest must be collected according to the unified standard of the government of 200 acres.

Therefore, many fields are still deserted in the hands of official temples, and the people who do not have fields would rather go to other people's houses to work as tenants to support themselves than to take the fields from the official temples and cultivate them themselves. Because there are ploughing cattle in the big clan, but they ordinary homeless people can't afford to buy ploughing cattle at all.

But farming cattle are not easy to raise, even if Yanbei can raise farming cattle in the name of the state capital, it is also difficult to promote to the people's homes, because the people who can't afford to raise farming cattle still can't afford to raise them. It's not because there are no ploughing cattle on the market, it's that they simply can't afford it, and they can't afford to raise it...... Ploughing cattle should not be too tired, and even some people only use ox carts to travel but do not let them plough the fields, because when the ploughing oxen are tired, they lie on the ground and do not eat grass, and they cannot work the next day.

But the donkey is different, it doesn't use **millet, it's easy to feed. If the state government can feed a large number of donkeys in the pastures, the people will be able to raise them in the future, and it will be easier to cultivate the fields, and even travel and forced labor will become easier.

Yan Bei has always had a huge enthusiasm for such things, because when he does these things, he can feel that he is changing the whole world!
