Western Liang.
In the Provincial Governor's Office.
Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Hwa Xiong, and the others gathered together.
Steamed potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes were placed on the round table in the middle!
Hwa Xiong swallowed his saliva and said,"My lord, can this thing really produce dozens of stones per mu?"”
"Yes!"
Dong Zhuo frowned.
Li Ru said worriedly," My lord, if Beiliang is no longer poor, Yan Chuan will definitely use troops against the Qiang Hu and the Western Regions. The more meritorious he is, the more the balance of Liangzhou will be broken. The states and counties of Xiliang will be compressed and divided into Beiliang!”
"Try it!"
Dong Zhuo picked up a corn.
He couldn't resist the alluring fragrance.
When everyone saw Dong Zhuo start eating, they also reached out to take the corn and sweet potatoes.
"It smells so good!"
Although Dong Zhuo was not interested in the food of Northern Liang, he could not help but praise,""Yan Chongzhi, a vicious man from the military, actually has such farming skills. It seems that he had endured a lot in Jade Gate back then!”
"Potato, is this a product of the Western Regions?" Li Ru's body trembled.”
"No matter what, the scout brought back some fruits. If he can plant them, we can too!" Dong Zhuo said with narrowed eyes.”
"Here!"
Li Ru said respectfully.
After enjoying the delicacies.
Dong Zhuo brought Li Ru, while Hwa Xiong and the others carried hoes.
He planted three potatoes, two corns, and a sweet potato in his backyard and watered them with well water.
If Yan Chuan knew about this, he would definitely scold Fatty Dong for wasting such a precious treasure.
"Miao 'er!"
Dong Zhuo wiped his sweat and looked at the flat ground. He sneered,"You guys grow well. When you come out, I can plant more. One mu, five mu, ten mu. The Feng Shui of Western Liang is much better than that of Northern Liang!“
"My lord, this thing can break through the soil in ten days!" Li Ru said respectfully.”
Several days later.
Northern Liang Prefecture, in the study room.
Ma Teng and Zhu Wu returned with blood on their bodies.
"Yan Jiang!"
Ma Teng said respectfully," The Little Yue Clan has 568 families and 2,243 people were all killed. The emperor rewarded us with three million dollars, and we even drove back thousands of cattle and sheep and more than a thousand warhorses!”
"Yes!"
Yan Chuan nodded.
Jia Xu smiled lightly and said," General Ma, General Zhu has worked hard. General Yan has already prepared food in the hall. You can go down and rest first!"”
"Here!"
The two bowed respectfully.
Zhu Wu left the study room after Ma Teng left.
"Wenhe, how's the white paper coming along?" Yan Chuan asked.”
Jia Xu took out a white paper bound with Luoyang paper from his bosom and said with a pained expression,""Yan Jiang, are we really going to use Luoyang paper to bind it?”
"Haha!"
Yan Chuan flipped through the Northern Liang White Paper and smiled,""Money is an external object, and it will come back again. Although your white paper is straightforward, it doesn't sort out the policies well. For example, we have repaired the trade routes in the Western Regions, implemented pension policies, distributed grain seeds, and reformed taxes. We don't just want to attract people, we also want to let merchants come out to do business. We have to take back the tax reduction from the merchants!”
"Business tax?"
Jia Xu said in surprise.
"We can use the militia to ensure the safety of the merchants, but we have to increase the taxes on the businesses!" Yan Chuan nodded.”
"Here!"
Jia Xu said respectfully.
Yan Chuan looked at Xun Yu and said,"Wen Ruo, are there any people migrating over these few days?"”
Xun Yu was extremely impressed. He said," General Yan is indeed a man of divine foresight. After Dong Zhuo became the governor of Xiliang, he immediately raised several taxes and began to recruit strong men from the people to join the army. Many people fled into the mountains to avoid the recruitment. In just a few days, thousands of people migrated from Xiliang!”
"Too little!"
Yan Chuan shook his head and squinted his eyes,"After the white paper is written, copy it immediately and secretly send it to Bingzhou, Xiliang, Xichuan, and Sanfu. We want the people to continue migrating here.”
"Here!"
Xun Yu said respectfully.
"Da!"
"Da!"
"Da!"
Yan Chuan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,"Support the people to develop animal husbandry. We can sell them to Western Liang and Sanfu. Domestically selling them is not the way to prosper. We must sell them to the outside world, including potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, but the price cannot be too low!”
Xun Yu frowned and asked,"General Yan, what do we eat after we sell it?"”
"Plant!"
Yan Chuan smiled faintly and said," The grain seeds ignore the soil and season. I will buy new grain seeds. The four county mayors are responsible for distributing the grain seeds to the people. The people are our biggest source of grain. As long as we have enough per mu, even if we have to pay 50% tax, it will be more than what we can grow ourselves!”
"Here!"
Xun Yu said respectfully.
Yan Chuan looked at Jia Xu and said in a deep voice," Ma Teng will form a militia, and Lu Bu will be in charge of the Iron Blood Army. You can let the two of them pick any Qiang and Di tribes to go to war. They have never invaded the territory before, so they can submit to Beiliang as citizens. Those who used to follow Beigong Boyu in the uprising will be exterminated. They can take cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses!"”
"Here!"
Jia Xu bowed.
He could feel Yan Chuan's killing intent.
That suffocating and suffocating aura was too terrifying.
The Qiang and Hu tribes have caused chaos in the Northern Liang Dynasty for many years. It is unrealistic to exterminate all the Qiang and Di tribes.
The Qiang Tribe, which had never invaded the territory and had always been friendly with the Great Han, could join the Northern Liang. This was the way of long-term development.
