Chapter 318
Before Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others returned to Yecheng, Xun Yu rushed from Jizhou to Yecheng. There was an important matter for his trip and he had to discuss it with Han Zhan.
Seeing Xun Yu's appearance, Han Zhan was quite surprised. He thought that something had happened to Emperor Xian of Han, so he asked: "Shi Shi Xun, do you know if something happened to the saint?"
"Sage, what can the Saint Carriage do?" Xun Yu couldn't help but be confused when he heard Han Zhan's question.
Although Xun Yu was his elder, when it comes to official business, Han Zhan still asked in an official business manner: "Since the sage is fine, why did Shi Xun hurried from Jizhou to Yecheng?"
"Spring plowing is about to come, but now a large number of people are still building palaces." Xun Yu said with a serious expression: "If you miss the farming season, then there may be a failure in the harvest in Jizhou today."
After hearing what Xun Yu said, Han Zhan felt that the current priority was spring farming and the construction of the palace could be temporarily put on, so he said to Ju Su: "Your Majesty, Xun Changshi is right. If the farming season is missed, then the crops this year may be poor. In the opinion of this marquis, the construction of the palace should be postponed for the time being."
"No!" Unexpectedly, after Han Zhan finished speaking, Ju Su stubbornly said, "From the moment, the palace will be completed in at most half a month. How can we give up halfway at this time?"
Ju Su was eager to let Emperor Xian of Han live in the newly built palace as soon as possible, and Xun Yu hoped to suspend the construction of the palace in order not to delay the farming season. The two had a dispute just to continue to build the palace, or to work on spring farming first.
There were many civil and military officials from the court in the conference hall. When they heard the dispute between the two important officials in Jizhou, they were automatically divided into two factions. The ministers led by Yang Biao and Zhu Ye agreed with Ju Su, hoping to build the palace as soon as possible and allow Emperor Xian of Han to settle in. After all, since Han Zhan sent people to kidnap Emperor Xian from Chang'an, the world has been unparalleled for several months. The ministers who supported Xun Yu believed that food is the most important thing for the people. If the farming season is missed, if there is a bad harvest, people will inevitably starve to death.
Seeing that both sides said that their parents were right and said that their mother was right, Han Zhan was so quarreled that his head was almost broken. To be honest, he wanted to support Xun Yu and first concentrate on doing a good job in spring farming. After all, he postponed the original plan to fight Qingzhou in the east for spring farming. However, when he saw that those who supported Ju Su were all important officials in the court, he had to consider it carefully.
After the two sides fought in the conference hall for more than half an hour, Zhao Qi, the grand servant who supported Xun Yu, still pushed the conflict to Han Zhan: "Governor of Jizhou, please give me some advice on this matter."
Seeing that the civil and military officials in the conference hall had been divided into two factions and knew that neither side could be offended. Therefore, after hesitating, Han Zhan said, "Sir, is there any plan to achieve the best of both worlds that will not delay the construction of Your Majesty's palace, nor will it miss this year's spring plowing?"
As soon as his question was spoken, all the civil and military officials who were originally politely closed their mouths. When it comes to being an official, everyone has their own tricks, but when it comes to farming, I'm sorry, that's not something we are good at.
Fortunately, Han Zhan has been to this era and has visited the fields many times. Otherwise, he would have been very troubled by spring farming like a civil and military minister in the conference hall. He coughed gently: "I have a plan that is the best of both worlds, and I don't know if it is suitable."
When Xun Yu heard Han Zhan say this, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Lord, what good is there? You might as well say it out and let everyone know about it."
The civil and military officials in the court also felt that Han Zhan’s method should be a good way to resolve the current dilemma, and hurriedly agreed: “What good strategies do the Jizhou governor have? Why not tell me about it?”
"I heard that there was a kind of chariot in the previous dynasty." Although Han Zhan knew very little about ancient farm tools, he remembered that he had launched a kind of chariot in the Western Han Dynasty, which could improve the efficiency of farming. Emperor Wu of Han issued an order to promote it. At this moment, he happened to take out an emergency: "One person was holding a cow in front and one person was holding a chariot in the back and sowing a chariot in the back. One hectares of land can be sown in a day, which not only greatly improved the sowing efficiency, but also increased grain production."
Neither the officials of Jizhou or the civil and military officials of the court were stupid people. When Han Zhan suddenly mentioned the cart, he couldn't help but show joy on his face. They knew that this was the key to resolving the dispute. Ma Riyan asked with a smile: "I don't know if the Jizhou governor intends to promote this kind of farm tools during the spring plowing period, which can save manpower and provide farming efficiency."
As soon as Ma Riyan finished speaking, Yang Biao continued: "We can arrange manpower to build chariots and allocate them to farmers for use during spring plowing. In this way, a lot of manpower can be saved to farm to ensure that there are enough manpower to continue to build palaces for His Majesty."
When Xun Yu heard Han Zhan mention the cart and knew that using this kind of farm tool could indeed improve the efficiency of farming, he did not continue to argue. Instead, he thought in his mind that he would arrange craftsmen to build this cart as soon as possible and distribute it to farmers to improve the efficiency of farming.
After Han Zhan made the decision to build a palace and spring farming, he asked Xun Yu curiously: "Shi Xun Changshi, this marquis has moved nearly 300,000 people from Chang'an and other places one after another. Now they are all placed in the south of Yecheng. You must also start as soon as possible when allocating land to them."
"Lord," Xun Yu and Han Zhan finished speaking, quickly bowed to him and said, "I have a busy official business and have no time to take into account the people who have recently moved to Jizhou. For such a major event, the lord should appoint someone else."
After hearing what Xun Yu said, Han Zhan immediately realized that he was not considering it carefully. Xun Yu was the Chief Secretary of Jizhou and had to deal with so many things every day. How could he leave the matter of relocating the people of Chang'an to him. So he nodded and said, "Since Xun Changshi has no time, then I will hand over this matter to others to complete it."
After Han Zhan finished speaking, he glanced at the Jizhou civil and military officials in the conference hall and decisively selected the candidate: "Xun You, where is Shi Tao?"
The two civil officials who were named immediately walked out of the queue, bowed to Han Zhan, and replied, "I'm here!"
Before Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others returned to Yecheng, Xun Yu rushed from Jizhou to Yecheng. There was an important matter for his trip and he had to discuss it with Han Zhan.
Seeing Xun Yu's appearance, Han Zhan was quite surprised. He thought that something had happened to Emperor Xian of Han, so he asked: "Shi Shi Xun, do you know if something happened to the saint?"

When they heard the dispute between the two important officials in Jizhou, they were automatically divided into two factions. Ministers led by Yang Biao and Zhu Jun agreed to Ju Su, hoping to build the palace as soon as possible and allow Emperor Xian of Han to settle in. After all, since Han Zhan sent people to kidnap Emperor Xian from Chang'an, the world has been unowned for several months. The ministers who supported Xun Yu believed that food is the most important thing for the people. If the farming season is missed, once the food is poor, people will inevitably starve to death.
