    Han Shimou 259_Chapter 259: The camp finally became a success. Xu Huang and Zhou Cang appeared again in the valley. Suddenly, the crowd was still hesitant. The bewildered thieves dropped their weapons one after another and fell to their knees.  - "This work is recommended by registered members of Piaotian Literature" This work is recommended by registered members of Piaotian Literature./You don't even know it!  You are out after reading the novel - "Piaotian Literary Registered Member Recommends This Work" Xu Huang looked coldly and nodded to Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang immediately led a group of soldiers to gather the surrendered thieves together.

    After a while, Zhou Cang counted the number of people who had surrendered and came to report to Xu Huang.

    "Four Generals, more than 1,800 thieves surrendered. Except for the two generals and a dozen thieves who escaped just now, more than 3,000 other thieves died in the valley. This battle can be said to be a great victory.  Victory. The four generals are clever and have the style of a young master."

    "General Zhou, are you so happy about the victory in this small battle? Did you know that back in Zhuo County, the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Cheng Zhiyuan was almost burned to death by Third Brother. Compared with Third Brother, I am  Not even close.¡±

    "Haha, fourth brother, don't underestimate yourself. Your talent will never be half lower than that of third brother, or even worse. Fourth brother, don't be too hasty in some things. Your sharpness will surely make the world better one day.  Deep understanding.¡±

    At some point, Wen Han led the archers at the top of the valley down.  The top of this valley can be reached from the dense forests on the left and right sides of the valley. It was discovered by Xu Huang.  Xu Huang deliberately told Wen Han to be careful when leading the army, so he bypassed the spy sent by Yang Feng and lurked at the top of the valley without anyone noticing.

    Wenhan walked up to Xu Huang, his eyes softened and concerned. Xu Huang was startled, and then he realized that Wenhan had discovered his thoughts.

    Except for Zhou Long, who is not interested in fame and fortune, now among the Wenhan brothers, Wenhan and Guan Yu are already famous all over the world. Although Xu Huang's record is outstanding, it is inevitable that he will be a little incompetent against Wenhan and Guan Yu.  Therefore, this also made the arrogant Xu Huang feel more stressed.  I don¡¯t want to be left behind by my two older brothers.  Therefore, he eagerly wanted to make more military exploits and prove himself.

    Wenhan saw Xu Huang's impatience, which was what a leading commander should have. Xu Huang was talented, and Wenhan also wanted to train him, so he was allowed to guard Xihe.  But if Xu Huang's impatience continues, sooner or later he will make a big mistake.

    Xu Huang is a smart man. With a little reminder from Wenhan's words, he understood what Wenhan meant.

    "The fourth brother remembered the words of the third brother and made the third brother worried. It is really the fourth brother's fault."

    Xu Huang got off the horse and looked at him very carefully before admitting his mistake.

    But Wenhan smiled and punched Xu Huang on the shoulder.

    "You brat, if you dare to be so polite to your third brother, I'll get you beaten."

    ¡°Either it¡¯s Wenhan¡¯s smile, or it¡¯s Wenhan¡¯s understanding and concern.  Xu Huang suddenly felt much more at ease, and the impatience that had been lingering for many days gradually dissipated.

    Xu Huang's soldiers and horses fought with the Bingzhou army all night, and everyone was exhausted. After clearing the battlefield, they took the prisoners and went back to Pingyang to rest for the night.

    Early on the next morning, the generals of Qian Bingzhou Army said goodbye to Wen Han, Xu Huang and others, retired after their success, and led their troops back to Jinyang.  As for the 1,800 captives, Xu Huang accepted Wen Han's suggestion and incorporated them.  After sending the grain truck team all the way to Hedong, he left 1,500 soldiers to escort him, and led 500 soldiers and 1,800 prisoners back to Xihe.

    Back to Hedong, the journey is much safer.  After all, Wenhan was the governor of Hedong and could mobilize troops at any time in nearby counties along the way.

    Three days later, Wenhan finally returned to Anyi.

    Watching the grain trucks full of grain being transported into Anyi City, Wen Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Haha, considering these days, I originally thought that the prefect should come back to Anyi three or four days ago. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I thought something happened to the prefect. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep day and night, and I didn't think about food or tea."

    Xilong walked over with a smile, but Wenhan's face suddenly darkened. Xilong thought Wenhan was annoyed that his words were unlucky.  However, Zhou Cang quickly walked to Xilong and whispered a few words before Xilong finally understood.  I was speechless and laughed in my heart. His lord's character was really weird, and no one was allowed to call him "sir."

    ¡°However, there must be a story in it.  Xilong knew Wenhan's temper well and guessed that there must be something deeply irritating to him during his conversations with the refugees.

    And under Wen Han¡¯s command, except for Zhang Hong who wants to be on the right track in everything, others really don¡¯t care much about this title.  In particular, Wenhan didn't like to use this title to highlight his different status.  Usually when Zhang Hong is away, Zhou Long, Guan Yu, Xi Long and others all call Wen Han by his first name or as brothers.

    "Feifan, this is just a title. Don't worry about it. If you don't like it, then I willNo need to call me an adult.  Haha, congratulations to Bufan, you finally got what you wanted.  Farming can be implemented.  "

    Wenhan sighed deeply. Just now, the words of the little girl that day echoed in his mind.  Wenhan calmed down and returned to the usual chuckle.

    "There is a story in this. I will tell Zhicai in detail later. Where is my second brother, can he borrow food and grass from Meng De?"

    "The second general transported two thousand stones of grain and grass back to Anyi six days ago. The second general said that this Cao Mengde is really interesting. His counselors such as Xun Yu and Cheng Yu all tried their best to oppose the borrowing of grain, but  But he insisted on lending it to Bufan and then asked the second general to bring a message to Bufan."

    "Oh, what are you talking about?"

    "Cao Mengde said that regardless of success or failure, I would like to ask Bufan to write down the means and measures to him in detail."

    "Whether he succeeds or fails, he will do it? Haha, Mengde is really interesting."

    Having a close friend like Cao Cao, Wen Han feels extremely lucky, although the two may become rivals in the end.  But Wenhan attached great importance to his friendship with Cao Cao. Cao Cao helped him many times. It can be said that if it weren't for Cao Cao, he would have died countless times.  Wen Han has always kept Cao Cao's kindness and friendship in mind. As long as he has the opportunity, he will do his best to return these kindnesses to Cao Cao at all costs.

    "In this way, my second brother and I have completed our mission and borrowed seven thousand stones of grain and grass. In addition to the grain originally stored in various counties in Hedong and the grain and grass secretly funded by the Wei family, we already have ten thousand stones on hand.  That's 1.2 million kilograms of grain. It should be enough for the refugees in Hedong County and the refugees from other counties who are expected to come here. Zhicai, how about the materials for building houses and the grain for planting?"

    "Half a month has passed since Bufan left. In this half month, with the rapid execution of the people we have deployed in each county, all these preparations have been completed. Everything is ready. As long as Bufan implements the farmland policy, the counties can start implementing it immediately!"

    "Okay! Zhicai, go back immediately, revise the book with Zhang Hong, and inform the counties in Hedong to start promoting farming from tomorrow!"

    "My subordinates take orders!"

    Xilong¡¯s expression condensed, and his eyes exuded an extremely bright light.  Once farming is implemented, it will enable thousands of displaced people who are homeless and hungry to survive.  This is an act of great benevolence and righteousness that benefits the people.

    This is exactly what Xilong wants and hopes to fight for!

    "Tomorrow, I will make the entire Hedong shocked!"

    Wenhan¡¯s eyes also exude brilliance as bright as stars. Farming is a particularly crucial step in his ambition to drive the world with public opinion!

    The government divided the land 50-50 and distributed grain seeds.  What is even more unbelievable is that during this year of farming, before the harvest was harvested, their meals were provided by the government in advance, and then deducted from the money when the harvest was harvested.  When the news of this farming policy came out, the whole Hedong was hit by an uncontrollable series of frenzy, not to mention a shock.

    The refugees in the counties east of Hedong are simply crazy. They are pouring into neighboring counties one after another, scrambling to register with the government to ask for land.  No matter which county in Hedong, there are always crowds of people, and the whole street is filled with naked refugees.  And when the refugees at the back heard one after another the refugees in the front were crying and shouting loudly about the righteousness of the literary champion.  The refugees in line at the back suddenly became even more crazy.

    The news of the division of land was indeed true. It was as if they had found a rope that could bring them back to the light in the darkness of the abyss, and they were frantically trying to catch it.  If it hadn't been for the officials assigned by Wenhan in each county to have prepared and ordered the soldiers to maintain order, the entire street would have been broken down by these refugees.

    The refugees who had been allocated land were led by some soldiers and went to the wasteland outside the city to start preparing to build houses.  When these refugees met with the government, they not only prepared food for them, but also prepared materials for building houses, which ignited the hope of survival in all of them.  Having a house and food, this originally unattainable dream is now within reach.

    Countless refugees, with tears of excitement in their eyes, lifted pieces of wood piles, which were insignificant compared to the suffering they had suffered in the past.  The smile that had not appeared on their lips for an unknown period of time appeared on their faces again.  As long as it belongs to a man, whether he is a child, a young man or an old man, he should contribute to his future cabin.  The women, with tears streaming down their faces, held the grain distributed by the government in their hands and prepared the stoves. From today on, they would no longer have to worry about food.  She and her family were able to have enough to eat.

    The entire wasteland east of the river seems to have been dyed into wet soil by the tears of these refugees.

    In Anyi, Wen Han, Zhou Long, Guan Yu, Xi Long, Zhang Hong, Han Song and other government officialsHe led the soldiers from Anyi and built houses for these refugees beside the wasteland.

    "Come, everyone, come quickly. Kneel down and kowtow to the prefect."

    ¡°I don¡¯t know when, thousands of refugees came over. They looked excited, as if they had received a great gift. They knelt down and kowtowed to Wenhan.  Every blow was made with great force, and the ground was dug into their foreheads.

    "Get up! Everyone, get up quickly! These are things Bufan should do! If you do this again, Bufan will turn around and leave immediately!"

    Wenhan didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit happy, satisfied, or thought he was great.  For some reason, he felt sad, very sad.

    These refugees didn¡¯t know why Wenhan had such a painful look on his face, and they all looked at each other in confusion.

    "Heaven is a healthy gentleman who strives for self-improvement. Each of you should live with dignity and backbone when living in this world. Don't kneel down and kowtow easily.

    You don¡¯t need to do this.  I am the governor of Hedong, and this is what I should do.  Moreover, after farming, you have to pay 50-50. You have put in your labor and sweat, so you deserve to be paid.

    Listen, you all deserve this, so don¡¯t give me such a big gift again, you hear me!  ?  "

    As a later generation, Wenhan sincerely hates feudalism. Feudalism almost destroys human dignity, especially the etiquette of kneeling at every turn. Wenhan is particularly disgusted.

    Wenhan knows that if he is to realize his great ambition to drive the world with public opinion, it will not only require the efforts of him and a group of like-minded people, but also the ideological changes of these people at the bottom.

    Although, this will be an extremely difficult road.  At this time, the Yanhuang land has gone through thousands of years and dozens of generations, and feudal ideas have been firmly engraved in the bones and blood of these people.

    It¡¯s difficult, very difficult, to ask them to change for a while.
