    "Summon Gu Yong to come here!" Yuan Shu ordered the attendant.  "No!" The attendant took the order and left.  Having acquired 300,000 people, we naturally have to discuss arrangements with Gu Yong.  At the same time, Yuan Shu also wanted to know the current population under his rule.  After a while, Gu Yong came over, bowed and said: "Greetings, my lord!" "No need to be polite! Sit down." Yuan Shu pointed to the seat aside.  "Thank you, Lord!" Gu Yong thanked him and sat down in his seat.  "Ahem!" Yuan Shu cleared his throat and asked: "Yuan Tan! How many people are there under my rule?" Gu Yong pondered for a moment and replied: "It has reached 15 million people." Yuan Shu was overjoyed.  , 15 million, already exceeded his expectation.  "Good! Good!" Yuan Shu praised loudly.  Gu Yong smiled slightly, he was also very satisfied with this.  "The Han Dynasty experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and its population dropped sharply to less than 30 million. Now I alone account for half of it, who can be my enemy in the world?" Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel proud.  After hearing this, Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "My lord, you are wrong! The world's population is more than 30 million?" "Huh?" Yuan Shu looked at Gu Yong in surprise and asked, "What do you mean by Yuan Tan's words?  "My lord! All the people we know are recorded, that is, ordinary people, but the servants of the major families are not included in this list. Moreover, the world is in chaos and there are countless refugees in various places. These people have also not been recorded."  , the world¡¯s population definitely exceeds 30 million,¡± Gu Yong said.  "Why didn't I think of that!" Yuan Shu frowned and his face was extremely solemn. He naturally knew that none of the servants of the family were in the official records, and that he had spent countless efforts to drain all the people from the family.  Perhaps because of this, Yuan Shu focused all his energy on "extracting" the population and ignored the registration issue.  After calming down, Yuan Shu asked Gu Yong: "What is the population of the world now?" Gu Yong calculated silently in his mind for a while and replied: "It is definitely more than 50 million." "Hiss!" Yuan Shu took a breath of cold air.  We must know that the Han Dynasty only had nearly 60 million people (those recorded in the books) during its heyday. According to later historical records, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and before the Battle of Guandu, the population of the Han Dynasty dropped by half, leaving only about 30 million people.  Based on this calculation, the world's aristocratic families actually have a population of 20 million. What a terrifying thing.  In fact, it is not as exaggerated as Yuan Shu thought. The aristocratic family probably only has a population of more than 10 million, and it should be noted that refugees also account for a large part.  After calming down, Yuan Shu recalled carefully and finally discovered something strange.  According to historical records, after the Three Kingdoms War, the world's population was only about 7 million. After the unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, after ten years of prosperity, the population increased sharply to more than 39 million, nearly 40 million.  ¡° From more than 7 million to 39 million, such a huge span is really unbelievable.  However, now Yuan Shu finally understood the reason.  First: After hundreds of years of war, the world's population has dropped sharply, and there will inevitably be a phenomenon of more land and fewer people. People are simple and simple, and they yearn for land most. The servants of aristocratic families are no exception.  It is conceivable that a wave of redemption must have followed, and for some reason, the emperor at that time, either because he simply wanted to increase the population or to weaken the power of the family, acquiesced to this situation and even contributed to it.  Second: The war in the world caused the displacement of people in various places, and the government was naturally unable to record these people. However, after the unification of the world, society became stable and people began to settle down again.  ¡°With these populations in mind, seven to thirty-nine million is not an exaggeration.  "The [revolution] has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!" After thinking about everything, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He thought he had reached the end, but he didn't expect that he had just started on the road. Things are unpredictable!  After thinking for a while, Yuan Shu said to Gu Yong: "Yuantan! Go and count all the people and divide them into three groups: young, strong and old. Those who are under eighteen years old are young, and those who are eighteen to forty-five are strong.  , forty-five and above." He paused, and then said: "Except for the foreign barbarians, everyone else must be recorded, and no one can be left out." "No!" Gu Yong agreed without any pressure. The family under Yuan Shu's rule.  There are no more slaves. Even if there are some maids to guard the courtyard, the relationship between the two parties is only an employment relationship, not a master and servant. Yuan Shu's move should not cause any backlash.  Afterwards, Yuan Shu asked again: "What is the effect of gathering the refugees now?" Gu Yong looked bitter and sighed: "It is no longer what it used to be! The princes in various places have begun to restrict the people under their rule and strictly prohibit family migration. In the past two years,?Runan, Wancheng and other places basically did not gather many people.  " Yuan Shu is not surprised. The other princes are not fools. How can they not know the importance of population? Once they find out, they will definitely take measures to prevent the loss of population. "It doesn't matter!  Although the north is still full of princes, it is much more stable than before, and there are naturally fewer refugees. We can accept them if we can, without forcing them.  "Yuan Shu comforted. Gu Yong nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. "That's right!  "Yuan Shu suddenly thought, the business has not yet been said. "I have reached an agreement with Xuzhou. Soon 300,000 people from Xuzhou will migrate to Jiangling and other places. You should prepare and settle down.  " Yuan Shu ordered. Gu Yong was overjoyed and said: "I never thought Liu Bei would pay such a price.  " After a pause, he asked again: "I don't know what my lord has promised.  " "Same as Tao Qian, as long as Liu Bei is around, I will not set foot in Xuzhou.  "Yuan Shu said casually. "What?  Gu Yong was taken aback, frowned, and remonstrated: "My lord, think twice. Tao Qian is old and sick, and his time is running out. It's okay for my lord to make such a promise."  But Liu Bei is in his prime, how can he make this promise and tie himself up?  " Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "Don't worry!  Liu Bei is indeed a figure with a heroic appearance, but it is a pity that he is destined to be unable to gain a foothold in Xuzhou.  " Gu Yong wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Shu was extremely insistent, so he had no choice but to give up. "Go!  "Yuan Shu waved his hand and said. "My subordinates resign!  "Gu Yong bowed and slowly exited the lobby. After Gu Yong left, Yuan Shu began to quietly think about the situation in Xuzhou. To be honest, Yuan Shu really didn't take Liu Bei seriously at this time. Before he met the demon Zhuge  , Liu Bei was just a lost dog, abandoned his wife and children, and fled with his life. The reason why Yuan Shu was so interested in Xuzhou was because of Lu Bu. Yuan Shu had a slight headache when he thought of Lu Bu. He really wanted to conquer this god of war. Of course.  There are also his generals, but this can't be done just by talking. "It won't be long before Lu Bu will be defeated by Cao Cao and defect to Xuzhou.  Next year" Thinking of this, Yuan Shu frowned. Next year is a special year. In the year of Jian'an, Cao Cao hijacked Emperor Xian and officially began to coerce the emperor to order the princes, and Liu Bei was his first target. "Cao Cao is one of the fake emperors in history.  He ordered Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu, and then Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to capture Xuzhou. However, now that Yuan Shu is powerful, Cao Cao may not dare to offend him, so the drama of Liu Bei's attack on Yuan Shu may not be possible. "I don't know if Cao Cao will order Liu Bei to attack.  where.  "Yuan Shu's guess is not accurate. He himself is unlikely. The same is true for Qingzhou. Kong Rong, Tian Kai and Liu Bei have old ties. Cao Cao will not be stupid enough to let him go to Qingzhou. When the time comes, Liu Bei will not be able to do the work.  There is nothing Cao Cao can do about it. "Maybe Cao Cao will let Liu Bei go.  " However, Yuan Shu quickly rejected this idea. Cao Cao's goal was Xuzhou. If he wanted to capture Xuzhou, he would naturally have to weaken Liu Bei's power. The best way would be to let Liu Bei have a fight with another prince and hold the emperor in his hands.  This trump card was not afraid of Liu Bei's disobedience. After thinking for a long time, Yuan Shu was still not sure, so he simply gave up. After a while, he heard Yuan Shu's voice from the hall: "Haha!  I'm also very curious about what Cao Cao's final choice was.  "
