Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 24 Plan ahead
In the spring of 185 AD, famines occurred in Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou.In the same month, different plagues and locust plagues occurred in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, and the people of the big man lived in dire straits.However, the ten permanent attendants concealed the disaster memorials and told the Lingdi that all the world was peaceful.

The originally thriving land of Jizhou is now full of abandoned farmland, and there are disaster victims everywhere walking on the roadside, and there are even scenes of cannibalism.Faced with such a situation, Zhao Lei hurriedly called everyone to discuss countermeasures.

In the hall, the atmosphere was heavy.Everyone seems to be in a bad mood.

"I just received a letter from Han Fu. This spring Jizhou has no grain harvest. Many people have no food to eat and no land to plant. If this continues, the famine will become more serious this autumn." Jia Xu wanted Zhao Lei to report.

"My lord, I suggest that the people should be allowed to reclaim more farmland to increase food production in the future," Zhang Han said.

"But the common people don't have money in their hands, how do they grow it?" Zhao Lei worried.

"At this critical time, I suggest that we contribute money to help the people cultivate the land, and we will ask them for a little food in return when there is a good harvest in one season." Zhang Han said again.

"Is this method feasible? Zizhou?" Zhao Lei was a little worried.

"The subordinates think that Zizhou's method can be tried. If it continues like this, it may cause a civil uprising in Changshan County." Jia Xu said.

"Okay, let's do it like this. I also want to exempt the people of Changshan from taxes and corvee. Do the two military advisers think it is feasible at this time?" Zhao Lei asked Zhang Han and Jia Xu.

"This matter is both feasible and not feasible." Zhang Han said.

"What do you mean?" Jia Xu asked, he didn't understand Zhang Han's sentence at all.

"Why do I say that? Because in principle, local officials are not allowed to change taxes and corvettes without permission from the imperial court. But now the memorials sent to the imperial court by officials from all over the place are intercepted by the ten servants, and His Majesty can't see them at all, so We can do this. If the higher-level officials in the court know about it, they can use the reason that the disaster is urgent and they deal with it without authorization.” Zhang Han said, but thought to himself: “When the time comes, the court will I have long lost the right to control warlords everywhere, who will pursue such things as us."

"I agree with Zizhou's point of view." Jia Xu understood Zhang Han's meaning now.

Zhao Lei looked at Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, and they both nodded.

"Since you all agree, this bill is passed, let's talk about the next item." Zhao Lei said.

Here is a supplementary explanation.After Zhao Lei had a general understanding of what to do as a prefect in ancient times and the process of discussing matters, he made a rule.Any major decision must be discussed and voted on by the two military advisers Zhang Han and Jia Xu and the two school lieutenants Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao of Zhao Leifeng. Jia Xu disagreed with this idea at first because he thought that if something happened If it's all votes, what do you want the lord to do?However, it is indeed difficult for the ancients to understand the way people think today, which is understandable.But after several discussions, Jia Xu found that this voting method solved many problems very efficiently, after all, there are more people and more power.So he didn't object too much, so the previous motion on tax exemption was produced by voting in this way.

"The next topic is about army training. Zilong, come and report on the recent army training situation." Zhao Lei said to Zhao Yun.

"Returning to my lord, the training of the troops is normal now. The new Jizhou soldiers have been integrated with the original troops, and the formation coordination has been somewhat effective. Now some siege equipment is being built in the barracks, and the next step is to let them They trained how to attack the city and seize the towers." Zhao Yunhui reported.

"Very good, but I want to add some training items to their original foundation. Zhang He, Gao Lan." Zhao Lei called the two of them.

"The subordinate is here." The two replied in unison.

"Have you roughly mastered the fighting skills I taught you in the past month?" Zhao Lei asked.

"Return to the lord, the subordinates have basically mastered it."

"Okay, then from tomorrow onwards, after dinner, you two will teach those soldiers the fighting skills I taught you in the army. I will train more than 5000 people into a special force, which will become our army in the future." A strong team in China." Zhao Lei said.

"The subordinates must live up to the lord's entrustment." Zhang He Gao Lan said in unison.

"This is the end of the military affairs, and the next thing is about the tea industry in Yecheng. There is a famine recently. I'm afraid the business of the teahouse is not good?" Zhao Lei asked Jushou.

(To add, Zhang Han recruited Jushou without knowing what he said. What exactly did Zhang Han say? I want to save it for later.)
"Returning to the lord, it doesn't really have much influence. The people who come to the teahouse are either rich or literati, and the chaotic world outside has nothing to do with them, so it is true that there are fewer customers than before, but the overall business of the teahouse is still good. It is normal and has not been greatly affected by the famine."

"I also heard that the owners of those tea houses went to Han Fu to sue me in private, saying that I blocked Changshan to hinder their business. Is this really the case?" Zhao Lei asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter has been settled by my subordinates. My subordinates have already chased away the leading tea merchants. In addition, Han Fu has a very close relationship with my lord. Whatever my lord wants to do, Han Fu thinks it's right." Yes." Ju Shou laughed.

"It would be great if this is the case. It's almost the Spring Festival, and then send someone to Han Fu's mansion to send some gold, silver and jewelry to make him happy." Zhao Lei laughed. As long as Han Fu is not in the way, Yecheng's He can monopolize the tea industry. You must know that in this era, there are no laws such as anti-monopoly laws.

"Your subordinates obey." Ju Shou said.

"Mr. Ju, there is still a very important thing for you to do." Zhao Lei said.

"My lord, please tell me, I will do my best." Ju Shou replied.

"Mr. Lao Fanju went to Wujun, Yangzhou, where he opened a tea house and planted and cultivated tea. Prepare for the later stage of our army." Zhao Lei said.

"My lord, Master Zhang has mentioned this matter to me. Will my lord go to Yangzhou for development in the future?" Ju Shou asked Zhao Lei.

"Yes, this is the first step in the master's plan, so I hope that Mr. Ju will collect more information about Yangzhou for our army after he arrives in Yangzhou, and there are many heroes in Jiangdong. I hope Mr. Ju can recruit according to his ability to broaden our army Talents in the army." Zhang Han said.

"Your subordinates must keep in mind that after finishing the business in Yecheng, your subordinates must rush to Yangzhou." Ju Shou said.

"I sent Zhang Liao to protect Mr. Ju's safety," Zhao Lei said.

Zhang Liao came out and said, "Your subordinates must live up to my lord's entrustment and protect Mr. Ju well."

Zhao Lei seemed very satisfied when he heard Zhang Liao's words.

A month later.

After Zhao Lei implemented the reclamation policy, Changshan County gradually regained its vitality, and almost no barren land was seen.Zhao Lei also built houses for those homeless victims and let them learn to farm. The situation in Changshan temporarily calmed down like this, but this was only temporary, because now the whole Jizhou is suffering from famine, and only one area in Changshan County has been solved. The county's problem was useless, so Zhao Lei suggested to Han Fu that all Jizhou should follow his example. Han Fu followed Zhao Lei's suggestion, and the whole Jizhou began to rectify vigorously.

When all Jizhou's attention was focused on fighting the famine, Zhao Lei ordered Jushou to go to Yangzhou. Jushou took his family and a lot of tea seeds and shadow tea powder and left Jizhou in a mighty way to Yangzhou for development.

Although Zhao Lei completed the first step of the plan, the most important thing is that the Yellow Turban Uprising did not break out. If there is no shareholder style, then Zhao Lei's play will not be able to be performed?
