After the powerful families in Yongchang County and Yizhou County in Yizhou were taken over by the Han army, they were left open and defenseless.

The Yizhou Army and the Jingzhou Army directly cleaned up the two counties.

Those who ransack their homes will have their homes ransacked, and those who are guilty will be beheaded.

It seems that these powerful families were unlucky. They wanted to flee directly when the situation turned bad, so they mobilized all their team members.

If they had not targeted Zhuge Liang, but had chosen to escape, maybe there would not have been such a disaster.

However, Zhuge Liang dug the foundation, and no one can swallow this bad breath. After knowing that Zhuge Liang only had more than a hundred people, he naturally wanted revenge.

In the end, not only was there no revenge, but all the aristocratic families were involved.

The powerful families suffered heavy losses. Leaders of powerful aristocratic families such as the Yong family, the Zhu family, and the Gao family had their homes confiscated and executed.

This also allowed the Han army to successfully occupy Yongchang County and Yizhou County, and accept the resources of the two counties at the same time.

It has to be said that even though they were prepared, they were still shocked by the powerful families in these two counties!

It is not an exaggeration to say that these families' decades and hundreds of years of heritage can be worth half a year's treasury income of the Han Dynasty.

You must know that the current Han Dynasty is a big Han Dynasty that has been reformed and developed by Han Emperor Liu Chen, who opened the Silk Road, trade exchanges, and developed innovations.

This was not the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the country was in a state of decay, with limited income, and had to rely on exorbitant taxation to fill the national treasury.

Coupled with the production of new technologies such as soap and glass from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Han's income was terrifying enough for Liu Chen to launch a campaign across the world.

And it is such behemoths, the powerful families in Yongchang County and Yizhou County, whose families have accumulated decades and hundreds of years of wealth, can actually be comparable to half a year's income.

It is conceivable that these local emperors at the southern end of Yizhou really made a lot of money by using the secret trade routes between Yizhou and the Shan Kingdom.

Of course, now they all belong to the big man.

Zhuge Liang and other Yizhou civil servants and generals spent about three months dealing with the aftermath of Yongchang County and Yizhou County.

Most of the time was spent on the road of rushing, searching homes, and receiving goods. Because there were no cement roads and canals in the southern end of Yizhou, more than half of the time was spent on the road.

After all the aftermath work was completed, the civil servants and generals of Yizhou immediately wrote to the capital to inform the Han Emperor that the war in Yizhou had been settled.

Of course, there was actually some minor turmoil.

The Southern Barbarian rebels such as Meng Huo, King Mulu, and Mrs. Zhu Rong have not yet truly surrendered.

However, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and other advisers secretly calculated that these southern barbarian rebels would never be able to hold on for long.

The current stubborn resistance is just to use his own strength to increase the bargaining chips after surrender. as expected.

Two more months later, when the Han army had completely taken over Yongchang County and Yizhou County, and opened up all Yizhou counties, the surrender letter from the Nanman rebels arrived.

Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and other advisers, as well as generals such as Li Yan and Zhang Ren, finally relaxed completely after seeing this scene.

Even the generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici of the Jingzhou Army felt relieved.

At this point, the war in Yizhou was finally completely settled.

Although this battle lasted for a long time, Zhuge Liang still relied on Zhuge Liang to take risks and investigate the truth, and finally it was completely settled, but they also deserved a lot of credit.

After Liu Chen unified the Han Dynasty, there were no big wars to win military merit.

Huang Zhong and Xu Huang led their troops to pacify Goguryeo, and now they are preparing to invade Japan. This is considered one of the wars.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai and other Jiangdong troops recaptured Jiaozhou, pacified the Linyi Kingdom, and swept through the Golden Triangle countries. This was also considered one of the wars.

Liangzhou troops such as Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong flattened Qinghai on their side, drove the Qiang and Di tribes away from the Kunlun Mountains, and occupied the source of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. This was also one of the battles.

Now they, the Yizhou Army and the Jingzhou Army, are quelling the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians in Yizhou. The powerful families threaten the bandits' self-respect and profit from the chaos, which is also part of the war.

According to the post-war rewards in previous battles, this time their Yizhou Army and Jingzhou Army definitely made a lot of contributions.

……

Information from Yizhou was sent to the capital one after another during this period, all of which were good news, making the capital full of joy.

When the news of the Nanman rebels came, Guo Jia, Xun You and Xun Yu informed Liu Chen of the news.

Liu Chen was not stingy either. He was rewarded based on his merits. He was promoted to one or two ranks. Even if his military merits were not enough to be promoted, there were also rewards such as bounty and knighthood.

Now that the war in Yizhou has been calmed down, Jiaozhou has been successfully recovered, Liangzhou has occupied Qinghai, and Youzhou has conquered Goguryeo. Today's territory of the Han Dynasty is definitely the largest in history.

Even many dynasties in later generations cannot compare with Liu Chen's prosperous Han Dynasty.

Even during this period, Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and other Jiangdong troops had led their troops to conquer the countries in Southeast Asia such as the Golden Triangle.

Huang Zhong, Pang Tong and other Youzhou garrison troops have already set foot in the Japanese country, hoping to turn this place into an outer island for the Han Dynasty and act as a barrier to the outer sea.

Nowadays, the territory of the Han Dynasty is expanding bit by bit, and it is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented.

Soon, Nanhai will become the inner sea of ​​the Han Dynasty.

This made Liu Chen feel excited, and he was naturally even more generous with the rewards given to the Yizhou Army and Jingzhou Army.

He made a ten-year rest and recuperation plan, but now only six or seven years have passed, and the big man has grown to this point.

I believe that after ten years, even the Kushan Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Roman Empire in the West will be unable to stop the Han cavalry!

Of course, in fact, the current Han army has such strength, and its ability has been increased six times, which is definitely not a joke. pity.

Lack of population!

Nowadays, the fundamental reason that restricts the Han Dynasty from expanding its territory and continuing to develop and grow is the lack of access!

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the population of Han Dynasty was about 60 million.

However, as the war spread, many states and counties were left empty-handed, and their populations shrank rapidly with the war.

Even if Liu Chen quickly unified Jizhou, Youzhou and other northeastern areas, making this place a destination for people to migrate, a paradise.

But there are still many people who died in the war and during the relocation of their families.

Later, Liu Chen led his army south, and finally conquered the north and south to unify the Han Dynasty.

It ended the original historical Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony and avoided the tragedy of the final population shrinking to a few million. But tens of millions of people still lost their lives in this turmoil in the late Han Dynasty.

Liu Chen predicted that at least 10 to 20 million, or even 20 to 30 million people would die in the war.

This is why Liu Chen formulated a ten-year rest and recuperation plan.

Not only to improve the military level, economic level, people's livelihood level, etc. of the Han Dynasty, but also to let the people create people crazily and increase the population of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Chen opened a lot of tricks, and even had krypton gold acceleration, so that the level of infrastructure development, technological development, etc. was changing with each passing day and advancing by leaps and bounds.

But.

It is difficult to improve the krypton gold acceleration of pregnancy in ten months, otherwise it would be too appalling and unbelievable!

Therefore, in the past twenty years or so, even though the medical level of the Han Dynasty has improved by leaps and bounds, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, are happy and healthy, and have been crazy about creating people, the total population of the Han Dynasty is still in the tens of millions, and has not yet exceeded 100 million.

Fortunately, Liu Chen allows everyone to join the army and take temporary positions, so the"ability bonus" can improve everyone.

This includes vitality.

The original life span of only thirty or forty years has gradually increased to sixty or seventy years old, and even longevity of seventy or eighty years has appeared in many areas.

Even though these people are just old people, they can still make their own contribution to farming with their ability bonus.

Even the elderly can take care of their children at home, allowing young people to start their lives, and they can also go out to farm and work to earn money to support their families.

With Liu Chen's land reform, everyone has land, and taxes fluctuate according to the harvest, so there will not be exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in disaster years.

Moreover, Liu Chen reduced the military service and other corvee services, which prevented the people from leaving their homes for a year and a half and wasting their fields.

Moreover, in the past, the military corvee was all participated by the common people at their own expense. Liu Chen directly abolished this move that wasted people and money.

Let the common people join the army nearby, and labor is not voluntary labor, but paid.

There are also the construction of many factories, allowing many farmers to leave their fields and enter factories to become workers in the new era.

If this virtuous cycle starts, the population will soon increase by leaps and bounds.

Liu Chen decided to conduct a census during this period to see how the Han Dynasty had developed in recent years and where the population had reached.

Now that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, and the population is the east wind for the Han Dynasty!
