Chapter 406: A Divine Thought
Yuan Tan is a township lord, but he got the fief of the county lord.
This is definitely a violation.
But as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said, this is a precedent.
One sentence will do the job.
Quzhou is located between Guangzong and Guangzong, covering an area of 100 square kilometers.
It is a big county in Jizhou.
It is also a wealthy county.
But it is no longer possible, the nature is changing, and the land is desertified seriously.
With such a large area, it is impossible for Yuan Tan to see all of it.
So I came to one of the most typical villages.
It is also a village composed of the families of Shence Mansion.
Throughout Quzhou, more than 100,000 family members of the Shence Army have been resettled, which can be regarded as a super large community.
Each village can be regarded as a family courtyard.
In later generations, there are "jurisdictions of bureaus", "yuans of factories", and "yuans of ministries and commissions".
Here is the large community of Shence Mansion, the family courtyard of Shence Mansion.
This is the source of Yuan Tan's strength.
But now there is a problem with the source, and it is still a big problem.
If you don't pay attention, people's hearts will be scattered, and the team will be difficult to lead.
This village is called Zhaojia Village.
The members of the Shence Army waited for Yuan Tan at the entrance of the village early.
The village head is Zhao Yu, Zhao Yun's elder brother.
And the more prestigious families in the village are Er Gouzi, Zhao Daniu and other family members of the personal guards.
They talked a lot.
"Isn't the eldest son clearly cheating us?" Er Gouzi's father-in-law Zhao Hai said.
Zhao Daniu's daughter-in-law, Zhao Shi, also spoke up, "I thought the per capita rent was two mu, and the rent was lower than that of the gentry and other government officials.
The eldest son is really benevolent, and he came here happily, but he didn't expect the actual situation to be so bad. "
"How can you say that? The eldest son can give us such sandy land? It is impossible." Zhao Yu immediately denied it, and said: "I feel that there may be other things involved."
"Even if it wasn't the Eldest Young Master who cheated us, someone else must have plotted against us." Chen Haidao.
The family members nodded in agreement.
"Look, it should be the eldest son!"
The family members are excited, and it can be seen that they love and love deep in their hearts.
A group of people on horseback gallop across the field.
Yuan Tan raised his eyes and saw the sandy land stretching as far as the eye can see. It cannot be said that not a single blade of grass grows, but most of the vegetation is sandy land.
In the cultivated land, ridges have been formed, indicating that the spring plowing has been completed.
But in this environment, it is certain that not many crops can grow.
Guo Jia pointed to the village in front of him and said, "My lord, here are the family members who migrated from Changshan County. There are Er Gouzi, Zhao Daniu's family members."
It can be seen that this is an important 'family courtyard'.
He added: "Commander Zhao Yun didn't arrange for his brother to live in the county seat, but settled down here."
Yuan Tan's expression became serious, "You and Chen Jiaozhang should provide refreshments for the placement of the relatives of generals at a fairly high level. Especially for this kind of immediate family members who have no jobs, they must arrange suitable jobs."
"Like a porcelain shop, they can be arranged for employment."
"And retired soldiers who can't find a job can also find a job in the chamber of commerce."
"For these, you can discuss the specific docking process with Yan Shan, but there is one thing, you can't let them intervene in the operation."
In other words, you can only receive wages.
Yuan Tan promised that retired soldiers and those with meritorious deeds can act as an agent to deal in porcelain and open a shop to make money.
This is the placement of meritorious veterans.
But on active duty, they must not be allowed to go into business, and neither can their family members.
So as not to enjoy luxury and produce degenerate desires.
Guo Jia nodded deeply, and arranged life for the retired soldiers, especially those who were injured and disabled, and further enhanced the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army. Of course, he understood Yuan Tan's good intentions.
...
"I'll see the eldest son."
Zhao Yu led all the villagers to worship at the entrance of the village.
Yuan Tan immediately got off his horse, helped the leaders up, and said, "Father folks, please stand up."
Zhao Yu found out that Zhao Yun didn't follow, it should be to avoid suspicion.
Er Gouzi Zhao Daniu and the others followed, but seeing his own family members at this moment was no different than seeing strangers.
The family members did not dare to go to get close.
Zhao Hai and the others were arguing fiercely just now, and now they dare not make a sound.
From the bottom of my heart, I don't think Yuan Tan has harmed me.
Zhao Yu led the people to invite Yuan Tan into the village.
"Let's not go into the village yet, let's take a look inside the ground first."
At Yuan Tan's request, everyone came to the field.
I couldn't see clearly when I was galloping on horseback before, but this time when I came to the field, even Yuan Tan, a layman in farming, can see that the emergence rate of the cultivated land is very low.
Of course Guo Jia also saw it, and his mood instantly sank to the bottom.
With such a low germination rate, I can't get enough to eat. Then, there is a famine, young people go out to beg, and the corpses of the elderly are everywhere.
Hundreds of thousands of people just finished like this.
Things are still in Yuan Tan's fiefdom.
Then, even if Yuan Tan's way of fighting for world hegemony continues, he will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Especially fame.
Let's push Guo Tu out and sell him.
Therefore, a lot of reputation will be lost, but it is also better than chicken flying eggs.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia secretly peeked at Yuan Tan's expression, not knowing what the eldest son of his family was thinking.
Anyway, in the eyes of the ghost genius Guo Jia, there is no possibility of a good end to this matter. In any case, the loss will be great.
For example, how much is the food for these hundreds of thousands of family members moving here and there?
Hundreds of thousands of people in the fief are gone, even if Guo Tu is used as a shield, people will spit out Yuan Tan's scolding.
In the future, people will be intimidated by Yuan Tan and stop moving forward, basically withdrawing from the stage of fighting for world hegemony.
At this moment, the villagers all looked at Yuan Tan eagerly.
Hundreds of thousands of people live or die in this song, depending on Yuan Tan's words.
In a word, millions of people live and die, and if they are not in this position, they don't know that the burden is heavy.
Can't speak easily.
"How was the yield per mu last year?" Yuan Tan asked solemnly.
"Old Zhang, tell me, Old Zhang." Zhao Yu called an old man, "Young Master, he is one of the few local households in the village."
Old man Zhang was trembling, fearful, "My lord, many people in the village starved to death, and the beggars went out to beg for food. Ten rooms are empty."
Zhao Yu and the others immediately turned pale, and if they didn't do it well, this would be their end.
"Eldest son, you are here, we are your people, please save us." Old man Zhang cried and knelt down.
Guo Jia was anxious, what are you going to do? What about your mu yield? What do you say to help? This is simply to drag Yuan Tan into the water. In this way, even if ten Guo Tus are chopped off, it will not be able to stop the infamy of abandoning the common people.
Those who strive for hegemony in the world, who dares to abandon the people?
Throughout the ages, no one who has done this has truly pacified the world.
Guo Jia hastily and amiably helped old man Zhang up, "Old man, the eldest son asked you about your mu property."
"Uh uh... last year, it was fifty catties, a big harvest."
The faces of Yuan Tan's newcomers changed drastically.
Dian Wei counted on his fingers, "Fifty catties, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, one catty more in seven days, one tael a day! That's not enough to starve to death!"
This is still a bumper harvest.
If there is no harvest, people will starve to death at that time.
All eyes were on Yuan Tan.
Obviously, this is no longer a place for people to stay, and what to do depends on Yuan Tan's words.
But what Yuan Tan said, he can't afford to support hundreds of thousands of people.
Yuan Tan thought about it, and walked into the endless fields.
People looked at his back and remained silent.
In fact, Yuan Tan discussed it with Guo Jia in private.
If the matter of Qu Zhou was brought to Yuan Shao's place.
Yuan Shao will definitely change Yuan Tan's fiefdom.
Pick whatever you want.
However, Yuan Tan couldn't change it.
Because the matter was made public and spread, it was not good for Yuan Tan, nor good for Yuan Shao.
Moreover, people like Wang Yun will take the opportunity to make trouble. What kind of system is it to change fiefdoms randomly? Shameless, extremely shameless.
The overall prestige of the Yuan family was lost.
If Yuan Shang continued to add fuel to the flames, then Yuan Tan would not be able to hold his head up in the family.
So, about Qu Zhou.
Yuan Tan had to bear it down.
As long as he gets through, things will be reversed, and the countless popularity will set up his image in the hearts of the people in the world.
To fight for world hegemony, the people must have you in their hearts.
But, how to solve it?
Sandy land cannot grow crops, but can it grow other things?
But any reasonable person would think so.
And no matter how the ancients thought, they couldn't think of a way.
But Yuan Tan is not only an ancient man, but also a modern man.
He came to the farmland with thousands of views, looked at the sandy land under his feet, and let go of his mood.
Suddenly, an idea for future generations popped up.
He walked back excitedly, and waved his hand, "Everyone, the sandy land is also very good. You don't know, I just want this sandy land, because it can make a lot of money."
What!
Everyone was astonished as if struck by lightning.
They thought that Yuan Tan would move the people away from this barren land, but when they saw Yuan Tan excited, they were already ready to salute with gratitude in excitement
Unexpectedly, the eldest son said that he specifically asked for the sandy land.
And make a lot of money.
Everyone was indeed stunned by the Arabian Nights.
You must know that giving people such land is cheating people and killing people.
They kept convincing themselves that it was not Yuan Tan who intentionally harmed the people.
Why are you still actively jumping into it?
"Is this okay?" Zhao Yun's elder brother, Zhao Yu, immediately became angry, and was about to starve to death, regardless of who was who. "My lord, we won't be able to harvest the crops next season, and we will all starve to death."
Yuan Tan smiled, suddenly feeling that technology is productivity, no matter how difficult it is, as long as krypton gold technology is used, it will be effective.
And fortunately, the matter of the fief's own oolong has not been made public, otherwise, he would not be able to openly admit that it was a specially selected sandy land.
It is bound to affect his and Yuan Shao's face.
After all, distributing the land to his eldest son was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Yuan Shao.
And Yuan Tan took such a poor place, how can he get over it?
Now, you can just let things take their course.
