Chapter 47 Tuen Tian!

Shangdang County, on the outskirts of the eldest son city.

Three thousand troops built a barracks on a wilderness. This time, the soldiers were not training, but cultivating the land.

It turned out that after Liu Bian stipulated that one training per day, the physical strength of the soldiers was greatly consumed by the training, so Liu Bian changed from the original two meals a day to three meals a day.

As a result, more food was consumed.

A few days ago, Xun You came to Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, when we originally incorporated Shangdang, we had 18 shi of grain and grass, which was enough for an army of [-] for two years. However, Your Majesty opened a porridge shed again, so that we can wait until the people's autumn harvest. It can only last for a year."

Xun You looked haggard and said, "Your Majesty has exempted the people from taxes for a year, which means that by March next year, we will run out of food and we will not be able to replenish it! How about your Majesty cancel the training every day, so that we may survive until next year?" It's time for the autumn harvest!"

"No, one training a day can't be canceled. The soldiers have just started to improve, and their combat effectiveness is also steadily increasing. This army is my foundation, and it must be the best of the best. Not only must we train every day, but we must also eat enough!" Liu Bian said categorically.

"But in this way, the food is not enough at all. Could it be that His Majesty has some solution?" Xun You said with bright eyes.

"There are two solutions! First, take Xihe, Shangjun and the two counties should be able to supply these [-] soldiers!"

Xun You frowned and said: "But in this way, if His Majesty is like Shangdang again, collecting people's hearts and exempting taxes, he will still be unable to make ends meet in the coming year, and he will not be able to expand the number of soldiers!"

Indeed, after Liu Bian got Shangdang, he implemented benevolent policies extensively, but in this way, it was a huge burden on food and property.Not only will there be no income within a year, but a lot of expenses will be incurred.

If the same policy is being used, even if the resources of the two counties are obtained, it will not be enough.But if benevolent government is not implemented, it will be difficult to win the hearts of the people.

"That's the second way, Tuntian!" Liu Bian thought for a while.

"Garn the fields?" Xun You said with his eyes brightened.

"Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the people have been displaced, and Bingzhou has suffered from disasters, and even more aliens have been plundered year after year. Many lands have been abandoned. Why don't we use these lands? Spring plowing is coming, and [-] troops are ordered to train in the morning and reclaim wasteland in the afternoon. Can it catch up with the spring plowing? During the autumn harvest, the food obtained may supply the army's needs?" Liu Bian smiled.

"Miaomiaomiao! Once your majesty comes out with this method, our soldiers don't have to worry about lack of food. The training in the field is not delayed, the soldiers are enough, the soldiers are full, and the training works harder, the army will be more elite! This is one action Count it!" Xun You couldn't help being overjoyed.

The farming system has already appeared in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao was cited on a large scale, and the system is different in each era.

According to the situation of Shangdang, Liu Bian came up with the farmland system which is the most suitable now!

"Divide the soldiers into a team of 3000 people and distribute them throughout the Shangdang. Reclaim wasteland and prepare for spring plowing. How much can be reclaimed! And the training should not be left behind. You must lead by example, and you must feed the soldiers. Don't be arrogant. If I find someone who dares to disobey the order, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Liu Bian summoned all the generals in the army and ordered.

Among them were Lu Zhi, Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, Wu Fu, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji and others, as well as a group of military lords newly selected from the army, Sima.

"It's Your Majesty, we will do a good job in farming and training our soldiers!" A group of generals bowed their hands and took orders.

As soon as the farming system came out, led by Lu Zhi, Li Xianzhong and others, each team of 3000 people rushed to various counties to reclaim wasteland.Welcome to spring plowing.

Both training and labor were required, and the soldiers complained in agony, but fortunately, all the generals were warned by Liu Bian.They are all taking the lead. Although the soldiers have suffered, the general has done it himself. What can we say?
What's more, after working hard, there will be enough meals to eat.Suddenly the soldiers had no complaints.

On this day, Shi A came to look for Liu Bian in the Tuntian area outside Shangdang City, which was managed by Liu Bian himself, and Yang Zaixing helped train soldiers.

"Your Majesty, almost all the princes of the world have responded. Your Majesty, we agree to attack Dong Zhuo together in the spring of next March!" Shi A informed Liu Bian of the news he had received.

After Liu Bian heard this, he clapped his hands happily and said: "Okay, with the support of the princes of the world, my throne is unshakable, the Shangdang has calmed down, everything is on the right track, and we can proceed to the next step of the plan! Shi A, immediately Invite Xun You to come see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Shi A turned and left, looking for Xun You.

But Liu Bian went to his camp. Sitting in front of the case, Liu Bian quickly wrote two edicts, stamped the big seal, and waited for Xun You's arrival.

Not long after, Xun You came to the camp and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, I don't know what is the important matter for your majesty to summon my minister!"

Liu Bian handed over the imperial edict and said: "Just now, the news came that all the princes of the world have publicly supported me. With their support and the deterrence of the [-] Shangdang army, Xihe and Shangjun are almost ready to attack!"

"In this way, the aristocratic families of the two counties will not dare to act rashly. It is not difficult to control the two counties!" Xun You said with bright eyes.

"That's right. Wang Yue is in Shangjun, and Cao Cao is in Xihe. They have almost inquired about the news from the two counties. It's time to start. These two edicts, one is the edict of your Shangjun prefect, and the other is Mengde's Xihe prefect. edict."

"Now the land is almost reclaimed, and some places have begun to go dark, and the manpower is not too tight. In this way, you take 2000 people, go to Xihe first, give the edict to Meng De, leave 1000 people for him, and then go to Shangjun. Both sides are two-pronged. Take the two counties!" Liu Bian ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xun You's eyes were full of joy. Although His Majesty often consulted with him, this time, he gave him a heavy responsibility. What a trust!
The aristocratic family, the first thing to think about is the interests of the family, and they will do everything they can to make a profit.But if things cannot be done, some sacrifices will be made to preserve the interests of the family.

Just like now, the princes of the world have publicly supported Liu Bian, and Liu Bian has an army of [-], so close at hand.At this time, it is not impossible for Liu Bian to send people to incorporate the two counties.

Although Dong Zhuo can be turned to for help, it is still unknown whether he will send troops.In addition, judging from the situation, Dong Zhuo would most likely perish soon.With the shrewdness of the aristocratic family, they will not provoke Dong Zhuo and set him on fire.

On Liu Bian's side, it's not easy to provoke, if he doesn't respect the new prefect, it may also cause Liu Bian to attack.Under such a result, the aristocratic family has only one choice, to respect Liu Bian and the new prefect.

However, respect is one thing, and control is another. Whether you can gain the power of the second county requires the ability of the prefect.

Therefore, Liu Bian sent Xun You and Dong Zhuo, two extremely shrewd characters, to fight against the family.

"Also tell Cao Mengde that I have only one request. No matter what method you use, the power of the two counties must be firmly in my hands!" Liu Bian said solemnly.

"Yes!" Xun You said with a serious expression.
