The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The person who opposed the above was Taiwei Yang Biao.

In his letter, Yang Biao put forward the reasons for opposing Xun Zhen's planting of fields around Xu County.

He believes that if most of Xu County is surrounded by unowned wasteland, then it is suitable to carry out farmland, but now the fields around Xu County are not all unowned wasteland, on the contrary, the number of unowned wasteland only accounts for a small number. ——Although Yingchuan also has a decrease in population, after all, although Yingchuan is not as frequent as those in Guanzhong, it has experienced both natural and man-made disasters after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the looting of Dong Zhuo’s troops, and the fierce battle between Sun Jian and Lu Bu. Constantly, the reduction of the population is of course inevitable. However, Yingchuan is still much better than the situation in Guanzhong. Therefore, the entire territory of Yingchuan, including Xu County, still occupies the main land. Most of them, especially those powerful and powerful clans, took advantage of this opportunity to merge wantonly, but they became more and more borderless, but for a while, due to lack of labor, there may be some fields that are now uncultivated, or the results of cultivation. It's not good, but in the end, most of them still have a master.

Yang Biao put it this way: If only the unowned wasteland is used to build farmland, the number of wasteland is not large, and it is obviously difficult to play the role of farmland; but if the area of ​​the farmland is enlarged, that is, to ask the common people for farmland, and to put the owner of the farmland. If the land was taken over and distributed to the soldiers and people who settled the fields for cultivation, it would inevitably damage the hearts of the people and disturb the people.

Therefore, he concluded that Xun Zhen's proposal for the settlement of the farmland was ill-considered, and it was nothing to do with it, and must not be adopted.

——The reason for Yang Biao’s objection in the above table is actually only a superficial reason. The reason why he fundamentally objected to Xun Zhen’s plantation in Xu County was because of the matter he was discussing with the ministers recently, namely Cheng. Jia inquired and learned that he wanted to report to Liu Xie with the ministers and suggested that Liu Xie repair the palace city in Luoyang, and then return to Luoyang when the palace city was repaired.

With the idea of ​​still keeping Luoyang, it is impossible for Yang Biao to turn a blind eye to the fact that Xun Zhen wants to settle farmland in Xu County.

If nothing else, just two, Yang Biao must object.

One is that once the field is opened, it will give the outside world the impression that "the imperial court will stay in Xu County for a long time", which is not conducive to him persuading Liu Xie to return to Luoyang. Another point is that "the output of a county in Yingchuan is not enough for the court and the garrison", which is one of the reasons he intends to use to persuade Liu Xie to move the capital. Wouldn't it work?

Moreover, Yang Biao also believed that Xun Zhen's plotting of farmland in Xu County would disturb the local scholars and harm the interests of the local scholars.

Liu Xie received Yang Biao's list, and after reading it, he felt that Yang Biao's objection reasons were reasonable, but he felt that if he only opposed the settlement on this ground, it would seem

It was not enough, and it was difficult to make a choice. He asked Zhong Yao, and said, "Yang Gong's watch, on the grounds that 'the field may disturb the people', is opposed to the invitation of the chariots, Yuan Chang, what do you think?"

Zhong Yao definitely supported Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen had discussed this matter with him, and he greatly agreed with it.

It is not difficult for Zhong Yaoru to refute Yang Biao’s objection in his letter, but Zhong Yao knows that he does not need to go out to refute Yang Biao, and there will be others in the DPRK and China to refute Yang Biao’s statement. In order to avoid giving Liu Xie the impression that he and Xun Zhen are one party, and affecting his role at a critical moment, he replied slowly: "Returning to Your Majesty's words, Yang Biao's objection to Tuentian. The reason, Yao Yu thought, seemed reasonable."

Liu Xie asked, "Are you agreeing with Duke Yang's opinion?"

Zhong Yao said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take Yang Biao's book down to the Shangshu Terrace and discuss it with all the ministers in the court."

Liu Xie thought for a while and agreed with Zhong Yao's suggestion, so he asked Yang Biao to go down to the Shangshu Terrace and asked the ministers to discuss it.

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

However, as expected by Zhong Yao, on the day Yang Biao's letter was announced to the court, several watches were handed over to the palace to refute Yang Biao.

The above lists are from the hands of Xi Zhicai, a servant, Cao Shangshu, Xun Yu, a servant of the audience, Huangfu Li, and a doctor of Guanglu, Jia Xu.

Among them, Xun Yu's content in the table above caught Liu Xie's heart the most.

Xun Yu believed in the above book that Yang Biao’s statement in the above table, “If you set up a farm, might disturb the people,” is really just a glimpse of the leopard in the tube, and the sea with a lid.

He pointed out in his letter: If the fields in Xu County were not settled, then the daily needs of these garrisoned troops in Yingchuan would have to be borne by the people of Yingchuan County and the people of nearby Chenliu and Runan counties. The people of the county will be a big burden, especially for the people of Yingchuan in this county, the burden will be even greater; secondly, as we all know, the transfer of grain and fodder on the road consumes a lot, and the military rations mobilized from Chenliu and Runan are also If you have to go through the transfer, the consumption on the road is equivalent to increasing the burden on the people.

On the contrary, if the farms are to be planted in Xu County, then when the farms are harvested, it will be at most one year, that is, next year, the grain and fodder needed for the garrison in Yingchuan can come from the farms, not from Yingchuan. The people of Chuan or the people of Chenliu and Runan came to provide the burden.

Not only that, not only can the daily grains of the Yingchuan garrison be supplied by the field, but if the field has a lot of output, it can also supply the emperor and courtiers for daily expenses, and even if there is more, it can be stored in the warehouse until the time of famine. , to help the people.

Xun Yu believed that Yang Biaozhi saw only a little short-term disadvantages, but did not see that in fact the long-term benefit of cultivating farmland was the real way to lighten the burden of the people; at the same time, Xun Zhen planned to use it in Xu Some of the laborers in the county farms were originally from the Yellow Turbans, and some were originally refugees. First, they were all Liu Xie's subjects. By arranging them in the fields, it could reflect Liu Xie's love for the people. Second, , and can also eliminate some hidden dangers that they may have caused by allowing them to have land to cultivate.

The reasons mentioned in this book to support Tuntian can be said to be well-founded and long-term.

After Liu Xie looked at it, he admired it very much, and said to Zhong Yao: "When Xun Yu was an official, he wrote to Cao, and he called him a clear, well-informed, and a pillar of material. I looked at this table, and the words are clear and insightful. Xiaoche, Che Qicheng has the ability to know people! I have also heard that Xun You, the governor of Yanzhou, is also well-known and has a talent for governance. There are so many talented people! There is the Yingyin Xun family in the country, and the court has a chariot and rides Duke Xun. This country is lucky, the dynasty is lucky, and I am lucky!

Zhong Yao said, "I have known Xun Yu and Xun You for a long time, and their uncle and nephew are indeed talented." He asked Liu Xie, and said, "I dare to ask, can your Majesty's opinion on the field be settled?"

Liu Xie said: "Xun Yu's statement on this path is well-founded and has a strong sense of love, so I should adopt it."

Most of the courtiers in the court supported Tuntian, or at least kept silent and did not oppose it. Liu Xie's idea was determined, and this measure was no longer hindered by the court and was approved by the court. Two days later, the will was fulfilled, and the edict was issued.

Xun Zhen immediately passed on Chen Deng and officially assigned him the role of allocating the land for the farmland. He told him to start to understand the specific arable land conditions in Xu County. After the autumn harvest at the latest, he would start this work, and he had to catch up with the winter wheat. Before planting, this work was completed; Jiang Qin and Zaozhi, who were in charge of the military and civilian villages in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, were passed on separately, and they were asked to transfer some soldiers and civilians from the military and Mintun villages, and it was also the latest to wait until the end of the autumn harvest. , he sent to Xu County; he also gave Zhang Zhao and Xun You a message, and asked them to prepare grain seeds, cattle, farm tools and other items.

Afterwards, Xun Zhen went to Liu Xie again and nominated Zao Zhi as the chief official in charge of the settlement of fields in Xu County.

Liu Xie Zhunzhi, the edict of the appointment of Zao Zhi was issued and sent to Xuzhou.

There are many things, and there are many things that do not need to be elaborated.

But while he was in full swing, busy with the matter of planting the fields, Duan Xun, who was far away in Huayin County, wrote a Taoist book to the court.

The book put forward a petition, asking the court to make Xunzhen a general.

When the news came out, one person was instantly furious.
