Although strategy is important, without population and food, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot win the battle. Even if you win a temporary victory, you will still fail when the population and food are used up. "My lord, it is not too realistic to increase the population in a short period of time. However, my lord has just captured Yizhou. Although the population of Yizhou is not as high as that of Jingzhou, it is similar. Although Yizhou has been experiencing constant wars in recent years, there has been no major disaster. He only needs to cultivate for a period of time, and when the people of Yizhou win over, the army that the lord can mobilize can be increased by at least one hundred thousand." Xu Shu pondered for a moment and then said: "As for food and grass, the most important thing is to increase the cultivated land. Regardless of whether it is Yizhou or Jingzhou, most of the cultivated land is controlled by aristocratic families, but there is very little cultivated land in the hands of the people. If we can think of ways to allocate these cultivated lands to the people for cultivation, I think whether it is Yizhou or Jingzhou, The food and grass can be increased several times." After Xu Shu finished speaking, everyone frowned. Although Liu Qi didn't need to worry too much about any aristocratic family, the aristocratic family was an aristocratic family after all. If he was forced to blindly force these aristocratic families, he would probably be forced to do so. opposite. At this time, Liu Qi is very powerful, and these aristocratic families will not say anything, but once there is any crisis in Jingzhou, these aristocratic families will immediately stand up and stab him in the back. Jingzhou¡¯s development momentum is rapid, but it is not without some hidden dangers. On the contrary, Jingzhou¡¯s development is too rapid. Without much accumulation, it cannot be considered top-notch in terms of foundation and strength. If there is any obstruction along the way, it is likely to fail. "My lord, why don't the government buy the farmland from the aristocratic families and then distribute it to the people?" Xu Shu thought for a while and said. "No, the land in Jingzhou and Yizhou is very vast. Even if the government wants to buy land, it must have enough money, and even if it wants to buy it, it must be sold by those aristocratic families." Jia Xu shook his head. In the eyes of aristocratic families, there are two most important things, one is books, and the other is farmland, otherwise there would not be so much time to annex land. Listening to the methods of several people, Liu Qi shook his head and said nothing. The problem of land annexation has troubled China for thousands of years. As long as private ownership of land exists, land annexation cannot be avoided. The final result of land annexation often leads to continuous uprisings and changes in dynasties. People often sell their land when they are living in embarrassment, but once the land is sold to aristocratic families, it is difficult to buy it back. In this era, once the people have no land, it means they have no fixed income, and the idle people In order to make a living, it is likely to trigger a series of turmoil. "This matter will be discussed later. The last time the Cai family was destroyed, the land confiscated was enough to be distributed to the people of Jingzhou." Liu Qi shook his head and said that the land annexation in Jingzhou was not too obvious. Before Liu Biao took office, Jingzhou was in chaos, with several forces competing against each other. Fighting, countless aristocratic families perished. Except for those powerful aristocratic families, other aristocratic families were unable to protect themselves, so how could they spare the effort to annex the land. After Liu Biao took office, although he supported aristocratic families, these aristocratic families were just starting out, and those families that survived the war were also suppressed and restricted by Liu Biao in different ways. Although the methods were loose, he did not dare to be too arrogant. . There have been no wars in Jingzhou in recent years, and taxes are relatively low among the princes. The people are far from selling land to support their families. But this does not mean that there is no land annexation in Jingzhou, it is just that it has not caused major harm yet. "In addition, from today on, land in Jingzhou and Yizhou is not allowed to be bought and sold privately. If you want to buy or sell, you must get approval from the local government, and the price must not be less than one thousand yuan." "Hiss!" As soon as Liu Qi said this, the three of them Everyone took a breath of cold air. At this time, the world was in chaos, and land was not as expensive as in the peaceful times. It was rare for an acre of land to be sold for five hundred yuan at this time. Liu Qi raised the price by one word. Times, even aristocratic families have to consider the gains and losses involved. Looking up at the two of them, Liu Qi said again: "As for Yizhou, the families who are willing to cooperate will hand over the general land. If they are not willing, Kong Ming and Zibu will handle it." Jia Xu and Xu Shu were both silent. , they naturally knew what Liu Qi meant by dealing with it. The relationships between the aristocratic families in Jingzhou at this time were complicated, and many of them had supported Liu Qi. Even a few people would feel inappropriate if they acted against them. And the situation in Yizhou is much worse than that in Jingzhou. Being able to confront Liu Zhang during these times, one can imagine how powerful these aristocratic families are in Yizhou. "In addition, starting from today, any land that is reclaimed by oneself does not need to pay taxes to the government within three years. After three years, it only needs to pay taxes on inferior land." Talking about the land, Liu Qi suddenly thought of returning farmland to forest for later generations. At this time, The population is far less than one-tenth or even a few hundred percent of that of later generations.First, the tools are far different from those of later generations. Even if everyone reclaims the land together, it will not cause a large-scale reduction of forests. But even so, Liu Qi has decided to wait until the world is peaceful and order to abolish this decision again. At this time, the world is in chaos and the population has dropped sharply. The existing land is enough for everyone to cultivate, and further cultivation will be of no use. "No." Jia Xu and Xu Shu both had their eyes lit up and bowed in response. "How do you think the arrangements for Mr. and others will be done?" Liu Qi asked again. The news that Jushou and others came to Xiangyang could spread throughout Jingxiang in a short time. If they were given too much power, they would definitely be dissatisfied by everyone under his command. "The lord can select some people and give them certain official positions. As for the others, why not let them go to the recruitment hall for assessment. If they can pass the assessment, wouldn't it be easier for the lord to arrange affairs for them." Jia Xu said with a smile. After a few months, the name of the Talent Recruitment Hall has already spread throughout Jingzhou, and even has a tendency to spread to the entire world. With the expansion of the name of the Talent Recruitment Hall, several assessments have also been added to the Hall. So far, no one has been able to pass all these assessments. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The recruitment hall will announce the number of examinations he passed, and no one will say anything when the time comes for appointment. "Oh, in that case, let them all take part in the assessment. I also want to see if anyone can pass all the tests." Liu Qi smiled. One of Jushu and Zhang Zha was a top counselor, and the other They are also top-notch generals. He really hopes that these two people can try it out. "This is a wonderful plan!" Xu Shu also nodded in agreement. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡°Yuan Zhi is here, but Lord Zhou Mu already has a solution?¡± In the post house, General Jushou Xu Shu walked into the room and asked in surprise, not long after he left Liu Qi, could Liu Qi and others have figured out how to arrange for him and others? Zhang Jia beside Jushu also looked at Xu Shu curiously. He was also curious about how Liu Qi would arrange for them? "Yes, my lord has indeed thought of how to arrange the arrangements for you and the others." Xu Shu nodded as they sat down. "Oh, I would like to know how Mr. Zhou Mu will arrange for us?" Jushou's expression calmed down a little, and he asked solemnly. He was not worried about himself. He was worried about the few people who came with him. If these few People are not taken seriously here, and he has no face to face a few people. However, he also knew that if these people were to occupy high positions without any merit, they would definitely make things difficult for Liu Qi. "Have you ever heard of the Talent Recruitment Center?" Xu Shu said with a smile. "The Talent Recruitment Hall?" Jushou was stunned. Although he had only been in Jingzhou for two days, he had heard about the Talent Recruitment Hall since he set foot in Jingzhou. He also knew that all the people who came out of the Talent Recruitment Hall were based on their differences. Appointed to different positions, the name of this recruitment hall has long been known to everyone. Recruitment hall? Could it be that Liu Qi wanted him and others to go to the Talent Recruitment Hall to take the assessment? Jushou was stunned. His first feeling was that this was inappropriate. Those who followed him to Jingzhou were all capable people. If they were allowed to participate Recruitment Hall, isn't it a distrust of these people, but also a distrust of him. But then I felt that it was feasible. The name of this talent recruitment hall was already dusty. A few people participating in the assessment of the talent recruitment hall would not only make others look down on it, but would actually make others care more about it. Turning his head and looking at Zhang Zha, Ju Shou nodded when he saw Zhang Zha nodded and said, "Then I won't refuse. I wonder when Mr. Zhou Mu will set the time?" Among this group of people, except for himself, Zhang Jia has the highest prestige. If he doesn't object, others won't have any objections. As for whether other people will be dissatisfied, he only needs a little explanation. Those who can come here are not ordinary people. They must know this recruitment hall. the benefits of. The most important thing is that as long as you join this recruitment hall, you will take the initiative to let go of the past, and it will be easier to integrate into Jingzhou and be accepted by others. The Recruitment Center is of great significance! Jushou¡¯s eyes became brighter and brighter. This arrangement could not be more perfect. "Haha, it seems that you have already understood what your lord means, so there is no need for me to say more. However, my lord has a message for me to convey to you." Xu Shu nodded secretly in his heart, and was extremely satisfied with Zhang Jia and the two of them. "Oh, Yuan Zhi, please speak." Jushou said with a solemn look on his face, cupping his hands at Xu Shu. "We in Jingzhou only promote talents, and we have clear rewards and punishments. Anyone who can pass the assessment of the Talent Recruitment Hall is a talented person. I, Jingzhou, will definitely not treat you lightly. Please rest assured about this matter." Xu Shu's body remained calm, but his temperament suddenly changed , the whole person looks likeThe calmness he expressed was even more solemn every word he said. "Thank you Lord Zhoumu for your consideration. Yuan Zhi also took me back to show you Lord Zhoumu. I promised you that I will not let him down." Jushuo felt warm in his heart, and he let go of his last trace of worry. After all, they are not from Jingzhou, so they must be somewhat disadvantaged compared to others. Liu Qi's words undoubtedly indicate that he will not treat them differently because of their status. He obviously treats them equally with the people from Jingzhou. ???¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡??I haven¡¯t finished the meal and I¡¯ve finished a chapter.
