Yanzhou has a population of four million, and suddenly entered a million refugees. Not to mention that this is an era of underdeveloped economy, even in later generations, a small country with a population of four million suddenly broke into a million refugees, which would cause an unbearable burden. What's more, million refugees are not refugees who are honestly open to their mouths to eat, but million refugees who are looting everywhere!

According to the normal tax of 30 yuan, Yanzhou has four million people, and the young and middle-aged people are only one million. In other words, only one hundred and eighty acres of land can be cultivated per capita to feed millions of refugees with normal taxes. This is only half a year of famine. Once wars occur, it will often cause a whole year of famine, and the per capita of 180 acres of farmland is only for the lives of millions of refugees.

How is this possible?

Even if the people of Yanzhou did not become hungry people due to the looting of the millions of Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, even if the soldiers and officials in Yanzhou did not need a grain of food to feed them, after Cao Cao became the governor of Yanzhou, he would not be able to support the millions of Yellow Turban Army for half a year. Moreover, it has entered a tense wheat harvest season. Liu Dai had just been defeated and killed. Cao Cao would never be able to solve the millions of Yellow Turban Army in half a month. He could not let Yanzhou quickly calm and turn to autumn grain farming within half a month. Once he missed the planting of soybeans, millet (millet), rice and other autumn grains, it would mean that at least 1.5 million people would be famined in the next year, and at least 10 million to 15 million stones of grain were needed to rescue disasters. Otherwise, the tragic situation of starving to death and eating people would occur.

How could Cao Cao, a man who had just succeeded as the governor of Yanzhou, have not yet completed the "55% share" military farming situation, how could he take out 10 million grain?

Anyway, Dong Hu didn't believe it, but Cao Cao did not have a solution to the problem, that is, to use the method of "robbing the rich and saving the poor".

The wealthy families in Yanzhou control all the land in Yanzhou. It is impossible for the normal tax of 30 taxes to obtain such a huge amount of food, but the "70% to 80%" of the wealthy families can obtain high rents.

If Cao Cao wanted to surrender to the millions of Yellow Turban Army, he had to instigate the Yellow Turban Army to seize the wealthy family. Otherwise, he would rebel again if he surrendered. Just like the civil unrest in the late Ming Dynasty, he would rebel and rebel. The fundamental reason was that he had no food to save the disaster.

Dong Hu knew that Cao Cao had ambitions and knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Yanzhou, he also had to have a direct army to suppress the local family forces in Yanzhou.

The time when the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou invaded Yanzhou was too critical. Yuan Shao was fighting for hegemony with Gongsun Zan in the north, Tao Qian and Yuan Shu in the south also needed to stabilize the territory. Dong Zhuo in the east was killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, causing everyone in Liangzhou to be in danger. No prince interfered in Cao Cao's dominance of Yanzhou, which also allowed him to spend the most difficult year. After he had been farming for a year, he condoned the Qingzhou army to loot and slaughtered the wealthy families in Yanzhou. After gaining allegiance from the Qingzhou army, it was too late for others to send troops to intervene. As for Lu Bu later entering Yanzhou, the counties and states of Yanzhou rebelled, it was also a resistance of the local families of Yanzhou, but this resistance was too late. After all, Cao Cao still had countless Qingzhou troops serving.

Of course, Dong Hu could not make it so easy for Cao Cao to occupy Yanzhou. Not only did he transfer 50,000 elite infantry cavalry in Luoyang to Tongguan, he made the illusion that he wanted to enter Guanzhong, but he also claimed to the public that his true body was still in Bingzhou and that "he" was also in Shangai County to rectify the Heishan Army.

Dong Hu hid in an ordinary courtyard outside the city and publicized to the outside world that he was still in Bingzhou. The surrender of Zhang Yan of the Heishan Army also gave all the princes legitimate reasons to believe.

Cao Cao was suspicious and if he could not feel safe, he would be worried that during his most difficult time, Dong Hu would suddenly launch an attack on Yanzhou.

Da Ya's doubts dissipated and she no longer asked about Yanzhou. She just asked Liu Sheng to go to Liu Sheng and asked him to make less trouble. Then she took one or two thousand female riders north to Taiyuan County.

Dong Hu's true body observes the situation in Guanzhong nearby. He must ensure that Li Jue and Guo Si are honest and obedient. If they dare to harm the people, he will cut off their heads to prevent the situation in Guanzhong from getting out of control.

At the same time, he stared at Yanzhou with one eye. Once he found out that Cao Cao had indeed swallowed the poisonous bait, and once he began to instigate the Qingzhou army to attack the wealthy families in Yanzhou, he could also mobilize tens of thousands of troops in Shan County to attack Yanzhou day and night.

The surrender of the Heishan Army was a major incident, and the threat to Yuan Shao did not decline but increased. There was also a person with enough weight to take charge. Moreover, Daya appeared in Bingzhou, and even in Shexian County, which belonged to Jizhou but was occupied by the Heishan Army, and others would think that Dong Hu must be in Bingzhou.

The confusing action was made, as for whether Cao Cao believed it or not... Dong Hu could not confirm it, it was all about how great Cao Cao's ambition and calmness were.

Jie County has improved the salt drying method, and the salt production has increased greatly. Every day, salt-carrying civilians will travel to various places. However, no one knows that there is a big man living outside the city. The people only think that it is the prefect who protects their troops.

The people are profitable, and no one wants to live a life of warmth and fullness. After the policy of low taxes and low tenancy rent and support for the people was successfully implemented, the prestige of all families in Hedong County was not as good as before. If you want to make a promise, don’t think about it. Instead, a group of people who eat melons are often surrounded in front of the prefect’s mansion.

Economics, education, health, judicial justice... these are things that Dong Hu attaches great importance to. Dong Sizhong ignores how others do it. He is Dong Hu's adopted son and dare not be careless about these things.

In the farming society, the biggest source of income is the grain in the land. Encouraging the people to open up land and cultivate is the most important thing. As for the development of business... besides selling salt, it is difficult to develop. There are few people and the market is small. The men, women, young and old in a county are only 8,000. Even if the people build chicken cages, it would be good to sell a hundred of them all year round. It is similar to the temple fairs in later generations. It is opened once or twice a year, and the guys needed in a year are all bought at one time. As for the shops in the county, they are only rice and grain shops, wineries, teahouses, etc., and the business is not very good.

There is little population, a small market, and it is difficult for the commercial economy to develop. The main source of income is the output of the land. There is nothing to say. The health aspect mainly relies on publicity to post the military health regulations, and repeatedly publicize the importance of hygiene that Dong Hu mentioned when he was in the military.

In this era, the epidemic is frequent, and the epidemic is different from the epidemic. Some have high mortality rates and some are low. Targeted response can effectively reduce the spread and death of epidemics. There is a seal of the prefect on the notice. The heads of the town will come to the door to explain, and check whether there are special digging septic tanks at home. There will be village chiefs outside the city. Village chiefs come to the door to promote. Whether the people listen or not, they should promote them as much as possible.

Hedong County has advantages in education. All the descendants of families of all sizes have more or less read. According to Dong Hu's government orders, any teacher who teaches and educates people will have certain tax exemptions. The real son of a big family will not care about that little discount, but there are also poor people in the big family. With the hopeless future, getting tax exemptions for teaching is also a way out.

In addition to the poor scholars who are willing to teach and educate, some big families are also willing to promote this matter. On the one hand, they gain greater reputation through the friendship between teachers and students, and on the other hand, they can also get more tax exemptions for family land. One person is exempted from dozens of acres and one hundred people to teach? Do you no longer have to pay taxes on the land at home?

There are many people in the big family, and hundreds of people are just drizzling. As long as one big family protects the family's land through "education loopholes", other families will follow suit. Of course, Dong Hu is also happy that they use this method to evade taxes.

The favorite thing about the people of Hedong is to go to the government office to watch the show, to watch a group of masters quarreling and insulting about a chicken, and I don’t know if it’s a spoof. Dong Hu moved the jury system to this era. More than a dozen old men do nothing on weekdays and quarreled in front of the government office all day long. People in the city would go to the government office to watch the fun if they had anything to do...

The models in various places are similar, but some places are better and some aspects are worse, but the results are still good. The people like it. Families suppressed by policies can also quarrel with others in the government office. But these are just criminal laws. Not that no one in Hedong County has proposed that administratively is the same as jury, but they are all rejected by Dong Hu without mercy. What a joke? If the democratic parliamentary model is launched and the parliament is controlled by all major families, then what else can he do?

Although he had not met any official, he was not unfamiliar with the situation in each county and was quite satisfied with Dong Sizhong's efforts over the past year or two.

Daya went to Bingzhou, and Dong Hu hid in the courtyard to enlighten the child. He was staring at the 50,000 infantry and cavalry outside Tongguan. In addition, Dong Xiaoyi and Dong Sizhong had already stepped into the territory of Guanzhong. Li Jue and Guo Si and others were also panicked until Jia Xu came with Dong Hu's handwritten letter...

"What--"

Guo Sigang snatched the letter from Li Jue, and then burst into tears the next moment.

"Dong Shuai really can give us a state?"

"Even if you give it, it can only be Liangzhou or Bingzhou. What's your fuss?"

Li Jue snatched the letter again, snorting coldly with displeasure. The generals were shocked and looked at Jia Xu together. Jia Xu frowned, knowing that they would not want to go to Liangbing, but there was no change on their face. They nodded silently as if they agreed with Li Jue's words.

"If General Li likes to be a general in his hometown, I think Dong Shuai will not refuse. General Guo can be a governor in any state in the Central Plains..."

Li Jue was shocked, Guo Si was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Jia Xu's arm, sitting next to him regardless of the pull.

"Do Dong Shuai really want us to be the governor of the state? Is it Yuzhou? Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Dong Yue are all in Yuzhou. Is Dong Shuai going to attack Yuzhou?"

Jia Xu was about to speak in Yanzhou, but when he heard Guo Si's words, he was about to nod and agree. Li Jue spoke up dissatisfied.

"Guo Duoduo, what are you talking about? Even if Dong Shuai wants to take Yuzhou, that's not today!"

Li Jue shook the letter a few times and said unhappily: "Dong Shuai said to place brothers in one of our states, but he did not say which state it was, nor did he say who was the state governor. He said that he was asking us to discuss it by ourselves. Even so, that would be the matter after the New Year!"

"snort!"

Guo Si just read the beginning of the letter. After hearing what Li Jue said, he felt displeased and got up and wanted to grab the letter.

"You read the letters all over. Wouldn't you let your brothers know what Dong Shuai said?"

Li Jue stood up and was about to point at Guo Si and furious. Jia Xu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the person.

"All of them are brothers in the army, so you can discuss what you have to say..."

"snort!"

Guo Si grabbed Jia Xu and looked at Li Jue angry.

"Wenhe, don't get involved. This bastard robbed the emperor and he snatched all the benefits. He didn't dare to surpass Dong Shuai's chariot and cavalry general, so he got General Yang Wu and said that all the troops were under his control!"

"snort!"

Guo Si snorted coldly, and was extremely angry that Li Jue snatched the emperor. The two sides even fought over this matter. Hearing that he was going to argue with him again, Li Jue should have been angry and confronted him, now...

"I want the emperor so much?"
