Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1020: Can refugees come to You when they are fleeing?
Those who followed Chen Zhi were all from Jixian's wealthy families, but there were no officials, because Chen Zhi came to greet him as a private person, but the people accompanying him also had an extraordinary status in the entire Youzhou, allowing Liu Gang and Peng Qi to come into contact with him at once When I reached the upper echelons of Youzhou, I had connections.

Then there was a dinner party, which was very lively and made the two of them even more emotional.

That night, Liu Gang and Peng Qi slept soundly, looking forward to the future and looking forward to a good future in Youzhou.

Chen Zhi had already gotten angry with the two of them. They wanted to become officials, but they could not rely on their status and background. They were at most subordinates. If they wanted to be officials and control people, they had to pass the screening.

The content of this selection was about knowledge and involved hundreds of schools of thought. Liu Gang and Peng Qi thought to themselves that they had studied hard for many years, so they accepted it happily without any worries.

But after the two fell asleep, Chen Zhi did not rest. He was still full of energy in dealing with things, and called Wang Gou immediately.

Wang Gou came in, bowed respectfully, and then cast his eyes to the corner of the room. He saw a scribe sitting there. The man was silent. Although Wang Gou didn't know him, he didn't ask about his origin. Waiting for Chen Zhi to ask.

When he saw the person, Chen Zhi asked, "How is it? What did you think of the scene in Jizhou while walking along the way?"

Wang Gou then replied: "I don't have a comprehensive view of Jizhou. I only look at Changshan County, and I know that there are many hidden dangers. This is because the Hu people have a low heart and do not take the people as their roots. Instead, they exclude them, distinguish between superiors and inferiors, and oppress them." Regarding the affairs of the people, the traders and footmen are regarded as slaves, and the common people are like pigs and dogs. Even the aristocratic families are like cattle and horses kept in captivity. They want to use them, but they are on guard against them, and they are even more hostile. In this way, the top and bottom are against each other. You can be strong for a while, but it is difficult to be strong for a lifetime. Therefore, although the territory is peaceful, there are no refugees and bandits running rampant, and no one is there to control it."

After hearing this, Chen Zhi thought for a moment and then said: "Listen to what you said, the people in Jizhou are working hard. There are refugees and thieves. They have to bear land rent and taxes, and they have to endure the oppression of the barbarians. So, do you think these people will have some problems in the future?" How many people have to flee?”

Wang Gou said resolutely: "If there were no years of famine or famine, five out of ten people would flee. If there were natural and man-made disasters, there would be no one out of ten."

Seeing Chen Zhi pondering, he continued: "When Master Bao recommended his subordinates, he told his lord that he was a refugee. He first looked for a few places. In addition to Youzhou, there were also Weijun and other places. , because I was worried about the uneasy journey, I went to explore first, but for various reasons, I fell into the army. My brothers from the tribe are still waiting for news in their hometown in Beihai. My subordinates have done a lot of research on this matter of fleeing and migrating."

"Oh?" Chen Zhi nodded. When Bao Jingyan came back with Wang Gou, the secret agent did a general investigation. Although there was not much information about him, he knew the general life of him, so he was accepted into the mansion for key training, "Then it's up to you. Look, this Jizhou territory, especially the people under the leadership of Shi Le, is brewing a huge wave of migration and fleeing?"

"That's right," Wang Gou replied without any hesitation. "The time of the outbreak is probably within a year or two, and Shi Le should have no countermeasures, and will not change policies for this."

Chen Zhi asked directly: "Then do you think that if the people under Shi Le's rule in Jizhou become refugees, how many of them will come to Youzhou?"

"Youzhou..." Wang Gou hesitated this time and did not answer immediately.

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, just speak your mind. No one in Shi Le dares to speak disobedient words. Among the superiors and subordinates, they dare not tell the truth. They either flatter each other or be wary of each other. How can it last long? I can't do the same here, and I know what's going on with Youzhou. In the past few days when I took over the files, all the shortcomings can't be eliminated in a day, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and there must be a goal first."

Wang Gou felt relieved and said: "Youzhou has a good reputation in the north, but the main reason is that the original governor of Youzhou, General Wang Jun, had many military exploits, and he had the Xianbei people as his subordinates, so he had a very bad reputation. , Although it is famous, this kind of reputation..." "This kind of reputation can make people fear it, but it will not attract people." Chen Zhi understood what Wang Gou meant, "What's more, Youzhou is close to the north, and further north is the desert. There are many invaders in the grassland, and the winter is cold, so it is called a bitter cold land. If the people want to flee, they must go to the south or east first. If they have no other choice, they will choose the north."

Wang Gou was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded in agreement, and then said: "It is indeed true. If my subordinates look at it, they may choose Beidi, because this place is full of waste and has a bright master. But for others, the first thing they want is the stability of the family." , even if you are a subordinate, even if you come to Youzhou, you will find a way to move your family to another place, probably Wei County, which has been scouted for a long time."

"What you said sounds quite true. Okay, I understand the general situation. You have done a good job on this matter." Chen Zhi nodded lightly and did not make any promises, but it made Wang Gou happy. He knew that he could It is more useful to be named in the heart of the lord than to cash in the credit immediately!
"My lord, please rest early, and my subordinates will leave first!" After taking the initiative to leave, Wang Gou glanced at the man in the corner, then left the general's mansion, walked to an empty corner, couldn't help but waved his fist in the air, Vent your excitement.

"Gao Bing, who is next to Ran Zhan, was born in Goguryeo and has no family background. He was screened first and then made meritorious service. The key is to leave an impression in the heart of the lord, and then he was transferred to Ran Zhan. Only then can he rise to the top, and now he has gained power; Compared with him, even if I am not as good as him, my background is not too bad. If I were in other places, it might be difficult to think of promotion, but in Youzhou, I have the opportunity, so I must seize it!"

Thinking like this, he walked with energy and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

On the other side, Chen Zhi called the scholar sitting in the corner of the room over.

Looking at this person, Chen Zhi smiled and asked: "Sir, you have heard about this situation, what's your opinion?"

The man opposite him was dressed like a scholar with a feather fan and silk scarf, but with a long beard. He was clearly Sun Xiu, Zhao Wangsun's aide.

Sun Xiuben served the family of King Zhao, but King Zhao was trapped and his son was silent in Beijing. He escorted King Zhao and Sun to Dai County, and wanted to ask for help, but failed. He ran to Wang Jun again, but there was still no response. Everywhere, they finally returned to Dai County, and it turned out that there was a big war, and Chen Zhi had no experience to deal with them, so he was resettled.

During this period, Sun Xiu often wrote letters to offer suggestions, and gave Chen Zhi a lot of ideas, and some of them were adopted. After repeated visits, Chen Zhi gradually grasped Sun Xiu's thoughts.

This time in Jixian, Chen Zhi planned to forge the entire Youzhou and lay the foundation, so he summoned Sun Xiu to meet with Wang Gou for questioning. He also asked this person to listen and now asked him what he thought.

"If the general wants to wait for Jizhou to be in chaos, it will be in vain. As far as I know, although Shi Le is cruel, he is not mean to his own people. There are quite loyal people who serve his life. With these people as the skeleton, even if there is chaos in Jizhou, It can also be suppressed and no one will take advantage of it. However, it is possible that the people will be overwhelmed and flee in all directions. And as the gentleman just said, in the next few years, the general will think, It’s nothing more than seizing the opportunity to attract people, and this strategy works.”

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and asked, "In your opinion, how can we attract the refugees to come here?"

Sun Xiu smiled and said, "We can learn from the method of screening..."
