After Yuan Shao's nine-grade Zhongzheng system was announced, it immediately caused an uproar, and the wealthy families advocated for Yuan Shao without exception, and they almost blew Yuan Shao into an eternal sage comparable to Yao Shun.

Families of all sizes flocked to join him, which made Yuan Shao's strength swell in a very short period of time. It is said that Yuan Shao even declared at a banquet that "Yuan shares the world with the scholars".

Seeing that the effect of the "Jiupin Zhongzheng System" was so good, the other princes couldn't sit still, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Liu Xuan, and Liu Yan successively put forward similar policies, but they just changed the name of the Jiupin Zhongzheng System and used it.

However, there are also a small number of princes who are not blinded by the immediate interests, and clearly understand the huge harm brought about by the "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng System", and do not choose to follow the trend.

After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao issued three edicts within a month, namely "On the Order of Officials and Scholars", "Order of Seeking Talents", and "Order of Promoting Virtue and Integrity", which opposed the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

In fact, it was extremely difficult for Cao Cao to issue these three edicts.

In order to restore Luoyang City as soon as possible, Cao Cao took out a large amount of rights and interests to attract wealthy families to invest, and the power of the family in Luoyang City was unprecedentedly huge. Long before Yuan Shao released the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, many subordinates from families put forward similar suggestions, but they were rejected by Cao Cao.

Later, Yuan Shao made a bad start, and the family forces within Cao Cao's influence immediately clamored and wrote to Cao Cao to implement similar policies. With Cao Cao's eyesight, he can see through the price behind the Jiupin Zhongzheng system at a glance, and resolutely oppose the implementation.

In this way, Cao Cao's descendants began to fight with the family forces on the talent assessment system, and after several months, Cao Cao finally had superior skills, divided and collapsed, forced the family forces to bow their heads, and raised the banner of real meritocracy.

Although this kind of meritocracy is not as obvious as the effect brought by the comprehensive reversal to the family, and it cannot enhance its strength in a short time, it also offsets the negative impact of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system to a certain extent, and in the long-term interests, it is even more abandoned to the eighteen streets of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system!

Liu Bei, Lu Bu and other princes also followed suit, and issued similar edicts one after another, but they made different degrees of deletion and modification based on their own actual conditions.

The world is bustling, and the princes have stood in line in the employment system.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others fell to the family in an all-round way, while Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others suppressed the influence of the family on the one hand, and on the other hand, they co-opted the wealthy family to serve, belonging to the centrists, while Shang Ji directly stood on the opposite side of the family and the wealthy family, openly and comprehensively suppressed the family.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Shang Ji once again held a high-level meeting in the Xiangping City Lord's Mansion.

The first to speak was Deng Yan, compared with half a year ago, Deng Yan at this time was obviously much haggard. The rotation of officials, the transformation of new annexed lands, the confiscation of rebel families, and the resettlement of migratory families............

There is too much work for Deng Yan to be responsible for, so that he has aged a lot in half a year.

"Ahem, first of all, let me introduce you to the basic situation of Qingzhou and Youzhou. In the past six months, there have been more than 6,000 rebellions, including 3,670 rebellions of more than 2,000 people. 2,600 clans were exiled to rebel families, and the number of exiles was 32 million (including domestic servants and rebel soldiers, who were disrupted and immediately distributed to various villages, and their status was about equal to that of slaves)!

There are more than 6,700 migratory families, and the cumulative number of migrants is 125 million (including domestic servants). In addition, more than 7.6 million households have taken the initiative to apply for immigration, and more than 38 million people have taken the initiative to immigrate.

Within six months, 195 million people had migrated to remote areas. ”

Deng Yan listened to this, took a breath and continued: "In the past six months, in order to provide relief to the victims displaced by war and other reasons, and to pay for the transfer of officials and the relocation of immigrants, our army has spent a total of 516 million gold, 3 billion stones of grain, 25 million cattle and horses, 7 million horses and healthy horses, 8 million jars of wine, 90 million pieces of cloth, and 200 million pieces of fur. ”

Because the northern region was too barren, the merchants vigorously encouraged immigration, and ordinary people migrated to designated areas, not only with monetary subsidies, but also free horses, grain, cattle, wine, cloth, fur and other daily necessities, and at the destination can be freely cultivated, cultivated for five consecutive years, and after paying the field dues normally, these reclaimed cultivated land became the private property of individuals.

Attracted by these preferential policies, although they have to migrate thousands of miles and the natural conditions are relatively harsh, there are still many ordinary people who choose to take the initiative to immigrate.

Objectively speaking, such a large-scale, long-distance migration of the whole world will be possible for the whole world to be able to do it. If the other princes don't say anything else, they can't afford the food consumed on the way to emigration!

"Up to now, we have built more than 20,000 new villages in remote areas such as Zhenfan and Lintun counties (corresponding to the reality of Heilongjiang, Jilin and further north regions), and newly reclaimed 3.2 billion mu of cultivated land.

However, due to the constraints of objective conditions, it is impossible for the immigrants to complete their own independence until tomorrow's summer grain harvest, and we still need to support food and other daily necessities, and a rough estimate is that it is estimated that two billion stone of grain will be consumed. ”

"Mass migration, including many children of families who have a grudge against us, what is the security situation there?"

Seeing that Deng Yan's introduction was almost over, Shang Ji took the initiative to ask.

"This question will be answered by the Lord in the future!"

Liu Yi took the initiative to get up and said loudly: "Although we have migrated nearly 200 million people to Zhenfan, Lintun and other places, because the local area is too vast, after the migration, it is still a typical vast and sparsely populated area, and jackals and beasts are infested from time to time. In order to protect the security of our settlements, all non-exiled adult men are given weapons and troops are stationed along the roads to protect the settlements.

Even those who have a grudge would not dare to leave the settlement without permission - because in that case there is only one dead word to leave the shelter without permission! Whether it's the cold or the ferocious beasts, they will tear apart the exiles who run away without permission.

The difficult environment makes people have to unite, and due to a variety of factors, the security in the immigration area is not as bad as imagined. ”

Shang Ji smiled with relief when he heard this, it took so much effort and such a big price to spend it, isn't it for today's scene? Only when there are truly thriving towns will these places truly become the control of the merchants, rather than just on the map, as was the case before.

"Very well, you guys did a good job. However, we must make persistent efforts to persist until the summer grain harvest. Until then, we must do our best to help the migrants, they are all signboards and demonstrations, as long as the first batch of migrants is successful, it will be much easier to migrate from the interior to the north in the future. ”
