Chapter Ninety-One: Youzhou Shakes

Lelang County. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It has been three months since Zhang Qi was captured by Liaodong County because of his participation in Yuan Shao's plan to establish another Liu Yu, and the soldiers and horses of Linjun were stationed in Lelang.

Settled in Lelang County safely, without hurting the people's livelihood and not being able to afford the war, it made another county under the name of Yanbei, the general of Duliao, and Yandong and Zhao were indispensable. However, obviously, their exploits in ruling Lelang County were completely overshadowed by the light of Tian Yuyi's sword and Xuansu.

Compared with the commendable Xuansu County, Yandong, who seems to rely on the power of soldiers and horses to determine the matter of Lelang, is always a little less of a talking point as a township.

It's really embarrassing to think about, if it weren't for Tian Yu's assassination of Gongsun Du, now the people of Youzhou are interested in the name of Yan Saburo in the songs sung by the people.

Yan Dong thought of these things, and there was always a peaceful smile on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't care about his name, at least his brother who was far away in the Central Plains sent a letter back from the horseman, praising him for doing a very safe job in Lelang this time.

To be able to get a word of recognition from my brother is much stronger than the concern of thousands of people!

Yan Dong knew very well what it meant to control Lelang County to their forces.

When the elder brother first arrived in Liaodong, there were 70,000 people in Liaodong, and the taxes were not enough to even pay the soldiers' rations.

Now, there are more than 110,000 people in Liaodong, which is very good.

Xuanwu County, too shou Tianyu, is now led by the county Chengtian Chou affairs, because of the narrow land under its jurisdiction, the people are only more than 40,000 people.

And what about Lelang County? Although it is said that there are Han families and foreigners in the register, the number is large enough...... There are 260,000 registered people in Lelang County!

What is the concept of 260,000? It's more than the sum of the two counties of Liaodong and Xuansu!

Although the first Taishou Zhang Qi was confused into the whirlpool that Yuan Shao set up separately, and broke himself into Xiangping Prison, this Lelang County was really well governed. Although it is different from Hu and Han, it has left Yandong with a huge foundation for county governance.

It took almost no effort to settle the people in the county, and after Yan Dong began to govern the country...... He knows the situation in Lelang County, although the population is large, but only forty percent of the people are engaged in farming, although the county is wide, but there are only more than 13,000 hectares of land.

Moreover, this amount has basically reached the limit, and even if it is reclaimed, it can only expand the scale by another 3,000 hectares.

The remaining sixty percent of the people in the county are engaged in fishing, hunting, pottery, etc., which causes the county to pay too little tax, if you only talk about the land rent, even if it is a good year because of the barren land in Lelang County, you can collect less than 100,000 stone of grain.

As for the oral arithmetic and other poll taxes, although there are many points, if there is no tax evasion, more than 20 million yuan can be collected throughout the year.

For three months in a row, he led the cavalry to increase the land in the north, to the sea in the south, from Changcen in the west, and to the single single collar in the east. Yan Dong's footprints have traveled to every county in Lelang County, and at this time, he admires Yan Bei and Fu Zhu in his heart.

"If there is no Lelang County, I'm afraid I really don't know how hard my brother and Fu Taishou have worked to make Liaodong County have so many taxes." Back in the county capital, Yandong pondered, shook his head when he saw the lead in, and said: "The people of Liaodong are less than half of Lelang, but the taxes are twice as much as Lelang, not to mention the elder brother's private land with millions of stone grains a year. ”

"Zijing, when will we make Lelang County become like that?"

Zhao shook his head and asked: "I don't think it's difficult, in addition to the fact that there are more people in Lelang County, the terrain is mountainous and foresty, and it is similar to Liaodong, why not copy the set of Fu Taishou, use soldiers as field pawns, reclaim wasteland, and recruit more field pawns?" ”

"I plan it this way, but the land in Lelang County is barren, not to mention that the land that can be cultivated is far less than that of Liaodong, even if it is vigorously cultivated for a year, it will only be able to increase 2,000 hectares of land next year, and at most 40,000 stones of grain and grass, and it is not possible to put the barren land together in one place like Liaodong, and scatter it all over the place...... In this way, once there is a change, it is impossible to gather troops. ”

The effort is not proportional to the gain.

"That's true." He also nodded and said: "We only have 3,000 soldiers at the moment, and at least 4,500 soldiers are needed to reclaim 2,000 hectares of land...... Speaking of which, General Yan is really courageous! ”

Pulling Zhao Leng Buding praised Yan Bei, which was really the true feeling in his heart. Perhaps because of Yanbei's humble background and complicated experience, he can be called 'unscrupulous' in governing the place!

Would an ordinary Taishou general form a caravan for the sake of the lack of resources in the county? Will Tie Wu be designated to specialize in making farm tools? Will you dig the mine yourself? Will you let the elite soldiers who serve and die under your command go to plow the fields?

Yanbei not only will, but he has done it all.

The caravan earned money for him, and exchanged the money for grain to solve the urgent need for military rations in Liaodong County that year; The farm tools made by Tiewu were exported to Youzhou and Jizhou after being used in enough counties, and now they have begun to make armor; As for the matter of the mine and tuntian, it has also revealed the wisdom of the original measures!

He did the right thing, everybody knew it. But will others lower their profile and do it because they know that these things are right?

Not really.

Yan Dong felt that he could fight wars and govern the government, and he was an all-rounder. But he thinks that Saburo's brother, General Yan, is a real all-rounder.

Liaodong's academies, mines, tuntian, tiewu, water villages, commercial markets, and horse farms are many things that have never appeared before Yanbei ruled this land, and after the arrival of Yanbei, they pulled a group of Central Plains people and Jizhou people to see the development of Liaodong's military, politics, commerce, and agriculture from scratch.

That's really amazing.

Even one can imagine how much change Liaodong Academy can bring to this land after ten or a hundred years.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation in the world, Yanbei, a rebel-born horse bandit, actually found so many scholars who could be respected as great Confucians even in the Central Plains in the barren and barren land of Liaodong, and gathered them in the academy to give lectures like Taixue.

Zhao Zhao is optimistic about Yanbei, a general, far more than all the princes in the world.

All Liaodong County needs is time, just time.

"Zijing, what do you say if I follow my brother's example, raise a pawn to go to Tuntian, and then use a pawn to fish and hunt?" The book on Yandong's case has already made up some plans, and he said to the person sitting on the side: "On the one hand, I sent letters to the counties, persuading the people to carry out agriculture and mulberry, and then recruiting thousands of soldiers to reclaim, but it is not as good as the entry of Liaodong County, and it is enough to have an extra 3,500 hectares of land and thin fields next year, and then use the sailors to go to the coast to practice fishing in parallel...... If the salt field is opened up again, it is not a good recipe for a rich county, what does Zijing think? ”

Of course, the method is a good way, needless to say, the key is whether Yan Dong is willing to do this.

"It's doable, but then the sergeant will need to be recruited." He nodded and said, "The pawn now is definitely not enough. ”

"Let's raise another three thousand, if you don't have enough money, please ask Fu Taishou to allocate some. It's not good to drag it like this in the county, Zijing you go to recruit troops, and I will send a message to Liaodong. "In fact, it doesn't matter if Lelang County remains the same, there is always some surplus in the annual tax and field rent, but it is the competitiveness in his heart that drives him to make Lelang County better.

He wants to prove it to Yanbei!

Leaving the county government with the order to recruit troops, he was immersed in the strategy of how to deal with Lelang, not knowing that the crisis was getting closer and closer to him.

……

Fuwen is a Hu man in Liaoxi, and Gongsun Yue has the grace of life for him. Because of this, when Gongsun Fan secretly recruited dead soldiers in the county, he was the first to stand up, asked Gongsun to take care of his wife and children, and walked through the land of Liaodong County to Lelang County alone.

Assassinating Yanbei's younger brother, who in the entire north is not afraid? What's more, it's still Fuwen, a foreigner who hasn't been to many places.

With a short knife in his arms, Fu Wen handed over the 4,000 yuan reward given by the Gongsun family to his family, and he only took 300 yuan and went on the road.

It's just that he didn't expect that although Lelang County always heard it in his ears, it was so far away from Liaoxi County.

It took more than 20 days to leave.

When he arrived in Lelang, Fuwen found that he still underestimated the difficulty of assassinating Yan Dong.

Wang Xiancheng's inventory was extremely strict, and in order to blend into the city, he even snatched an old man's civil registration wooden plate in the wild of Lelang County, so that he could enter Wang Xiancheng.

After that, he stayed at the corner of the street at the entrance of the county government, watching Yan Dong come out and go in surrounded by guards, and when he came out and went in, he never found the opportunity to assassinate...... He was not afraid of being captured or even killed by Yandong's guards, he was ready to die a long time ago.

What he was afraid of was that he couldn't kill Yan Dong and couldn't complete his mission of repaying his kindness.

After waiting for more than ten days, this time Yan Dong finally came out of the mansion without his disgusting guards, and only led two young men dressed in official clothes to stride down the stage.

Fuwen knew that his chance had come.

"Yanfu-kun!"

Fu Wen was dressed in tatters, and he waved to Yan Dong in a tone with Wuhuan Tu in his mouth, and walked slowly.

Yan Dong didn't doubt him, he just frowned and thought that he didn't seem to know this person, and raised his hand and asked, "Are you?" ”

"A certain person came from Liaodong, this road is really not easy, I made a special trip to bring a letter for Fu Jun...... said, the distance between Fu Wen and Yan Dong was only a few steps, and his right hand reached into Huang Zhong and touched the cold hilt, "Fu Jun, please look!" ”

Yan Dong turned his head and wanted to ask the subordinate officials who came from Liaodong next to him if he could recognize this person, but when he saw a cold light, he felt that the cold hair behind him exploded, and he only said angrily: "You ......"

Before the words fell, the poorly dressed assassin had already stabbed Yan Dong in the abdomen.

Encountering this change, the two subordinate officials beside him hurriedly pounced on one and shouted to the attendants in the house.

Yan Dong dared to have severe pain in his abdomen, and his eyes were wide with anger, but he couldn't exert any strength on his body, so he could only grab the assassin's hand holding the hilt with both hands, and his robe was torn apart.

In just a few breaths, an assassination was coming to an end, and the soldiers who rushed out of the mansion and the subordinate officials of the county government captured the assassin together, and Yan Dong was carried back to the mansion, and blood was sprinkled all over the mansion door.

On the same day, Le Lang Taishou Yandong was assassinated, and Du Wei led the army to lock the king and search for the assassins' comrades.

The news of Pegasus spreads to Liaodong, and Youzhou is shaken!
