Chapter 214: It's Bad for an Emperor

Since the death of Mu Dingyuan in Bingzhou, Bingzhou has been in a state of no leader, and the counties and counties in various places are basically uncontrolled.

Although Lu Bu is Ding Yuan's adopted son, he is the chief culprit who murdered Ding Yuan after all, and [-]% of Ding Yuan's old subordinates spurn him.

Miraculously, after Ding Yuan's death, there were no disturbances in the counties of Bingzhou. Perhaps it was the Hedong Wei family who was intimidating. Not only did the rebels disappear without a trace, but the barbarians did not run rampant like in previous years. A great opportunity to recuperate.

And because the Yellow River is in the territory of Bingzhou, the silt brought in every year has created a wide range of fertile soil. Even if the crops can only be harvested once a year, the grain output of Bingzhou is not much lower than that in the south.

Wei Cheng took a fancy to this vast and fertile river beach. If the first five-year plan could be supported by tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, maybe the overall progress could be advanced by one or two years.

"I probably understand what Cheng'er means. Send people to take over these lands immediately. It's just that, I'm afraid it will offend many people."

There are also many wealthy families in the counties of Bingzhou. The Wei family has just wiped out the Taiyuan Wang family, and now they want to touch the interests of those families. I am afraid that they will really be attacked by groups.

Of course, today's Wei Shi is not afraid of them.

But if it can be solved in a gentle way, several clan elders still hope that Wei Cheng will not use force.

Wei Min said: "Let me take a trip in person first. These edicts are still useful. Now Cheng'er has replaced Ding Yuan to become a veritable Bingzhou Shepherd. He has the power to guard one side, even if it is a family, he must give some help." face."

"What's more..." Wei Yan looked at Wei Cheng who was on the side, and said with a smile: "It is not advisable for a single family to dominate after all, we can share some of the high-yielding crops, and by the way, we can win over a few aristocratic families to unite the front, Cheng'er thinks how?"

Wei Cheng doesn't care about these things, as long as he can have a large amount of food in the autumn harvest next year, it is best to be able to supply as much food as tens of millions of people, because in the first five-year plan, there is a policy to encourage childbirth. Eating is a problem.

The reason why the farm plan is important is that many people need to be raised. Wei Cheng's idea is not only to encourage the common people to have children, but also to encourage migrants to move to Hedong County.

This time it’s not just for craftsmen, doctors, and scholars... This time, as long as you are a human being, it doesn’t matter whether you have a skill or not. In short, as long as you can still live, you can become a commoner in Hedong County. food.

In this era of lack of food and clothing, if Wei Cheng dared to make such a call, I believe that many people in the big man would definitely come.

When there are more and more people, some industrial products that can be operated on the assembly line will start to come out. Ordinary people only need to work in factories to support a large family without facing the loess and back to the sky. .

"Okay, let's leave it to the second uncle. It's best to solve it before the spring of the next year, otherwise, I will use the city guard."

Wei Cheng is not afraid of offending people, he doesn't have a good impression of these aristocratic families, if they can truly lead the people to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing like himself, then he can say nothing, but the aristocratic families have long been accustomed to exploiting the people .

"Before the spring of the coming year... that's fine, I'll go north in the next few days to convince them before the New Year's Eve." Wei Min said.

Restaurants in the city.

Zhang Fei came in with an oiled paper bag, saw a few people in the booth, and said with a smile, "The freshly baked sweet-scented osmanthus cake, hehe, cost me three food coupons."

Xu Huang raised his glass and drank it all, then said with a smile, "Can't you correct your greedy mouth?"

"Then don't eat it." Zhang Fei stuffed the oiled paper bag into his arms angrily.

Seeing this, the silver carp hurriedly said: "Don't, Brother Xu won't eat if he doesn't eat it. I didn't say he wouldn't eat it. Give me a piece to satisfy my hunger."

Zhang Fei proudly raised his eyebrows at Xu Huang, and generously opened the oiled paper bag. The osmanthus tree was fragrant for a while, attracting the attention of many diners.

A big hand reached out silently.

Zhang Fei frowned, and shouted, "You don't want to eat?"

"I just said you are greedy, I didn't say I wouldn't eat it!" Xu Huang took a mouthful, and his mouth was full of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei moved the oiled paper bag into his arms, ate the pastry, and asked curiously, "Where's Mr. Tian?"

With its mouth full, the silver carp shook its head and said, "We haven't come yet, but we arrived early, and the master said it was not time."

At this time, a carriage stopped at the door, and Tian Feng and Xun Yu came hand in hand.

"You three came so early." Tian Feng smiled and cupped his hands.

The three of Xu Huang got up to return the salute, and everyone sat down in groups.

Tian Feng picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake casually, took a bite, and nodded intoxicated, "It's really delicious!"

Xun Yu cupped his hands at Zhang Fei, took a piece as well, and said with a smile, "I've always heard that the pastry in the pastry shop is hard to buy. Not only do you need food stamps, but you have to queue up a few hours in advance. I didn't expect that Captain Zhang would be able to snatch it." Get a copy."

Zhang Fei said complacently, "Hey, I don't have to wait in that long queue. I asked the cook at the young master's house to help me get it."

"Hahaha, I remember that cook, it is said that she has a soft spot for Yide." The silver carp laughed loudly.

Xu Huang pretended to be just aware of the matter, and joked: "Since that's the case, why don't you ask Madam to take a look at it, it just so happens that you are gluttonous and she is a cook, so it's a good match."

Zhang Fei recalled the cook's age, he was about to be his mother, and quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I won't look for her again."

"You are really realistic." Xu Huang said narrowly.

The crowd laughed.

After he was full of wine and food, Tian Feng slowly talked about the business.

"I think you all know the court's decree. Brother Gongming was conferred the title of General Zheng Bei, ranking third. Under General Wei, Brother Hua Chuan and Yide also received awards. One is General Pingbei and the other is Anbei. Generals are all in the third rank, but everyone knows that the so-called Sizheng, Si'an, and Siping (corresponding to east, west, north, south, respectively) are actually empty positions and have no real power."

Tian Feng put it more euphemistically, in fact, these so-called generals are just a general title of a miscellaneous name, not a full-time job.

Generally, it is just followed by other positions, and is used to call a good-sounding false title. Like Liu Bei, he has the title of General Zuo.In fact, when there are no soldiers and horses in hand, there is no one to beat him at all.

In the previous Fourth Army, there were only four general titles: front, rear, left, and right. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many heroes. In order to win people's hearts, there were four Zhengs, Si'an, and Siping, which were actually useless at all.

The reason why Tian Feng explained this to Xu Huang and the others was that Wei Cheng didn't want them to accept the court's will, but he was worried that they would feel uncomfortable, so he specially asked Tian Feng to test it out.

No, Tian Feng just explained what is a false job without real power, and Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, and Hua Chuan burst out laughing.

Xu Huang said with a smile: "Sir, there is no need to say any more, not to mention mere vain positions, so what if you give me the position of a general, can he still have me as the commander-in-chief of the Longshan Army?"

Zhang Fei also said with a look of disdain: "Can the [-] Imperial Guards defeat the [-] Longshan Army? Anyway, I will not abandon the brothers of the Longshan Army."

The silver carp was born as a water bandit, so he didn't like the imperial court at all. After drinking a glass of wine, he sneered and said, "We don't want to be so comfortable now, and we don't care to be an emperor, let alone a bullshit general."

"Uh, this..."

Tian Feng and Xun Yu looked at each other in blank dismay, what to do, the prepared speeches are useless at all.
