! Please vote! He begged for everything!
Serenity Plains was the poorest province in the Great Han Dynasty.
As for Dai County, it was ranked third from the bottom in Youzhou Province.
In the county, the people were in dire straits.
Along the way, Liu Xuan had seen countless starving commoners. He had seen countless commoners digging up tree roots and eating tree bark to fill their stomachs.
In a peaceful world, the price of grain would naturally not be high. However, in a chaotic world, the price of grain would inevitably rise by a lot.
And the era that Liu Xuan was currently in was a chaotic one!
One had to know.
He had spent five glass marbles, which were considered rare treasures during the Three Kingdoms period, to purchase 300,000 dans of grain from the great clans.
As the saying goes, the rarer something is, the more valuable it is. If Han Wu were to use the glass marbles to exchange for food now, he would probably lose half or even more!
And now!
He had plundered nearly 100,000 stones from the residences of Dai County county magistrate and county captain!
What kind of concept was this?
Dai County, County Governor Manor.
When Liu Xuan heard this news from his subordinate, he was shocked!
After the shock, it was anger!
Endless rage!
Liu Xuan was so angry that he wanted to rush straight to the prison and kill the county magistrate and county captain who took advantage of the people.
However, he endured it.
Because before this, he had already planned how those two people would die.
"Bring me over to take a look!"
Liu Xuan said to the new county magistrate.
" Yes, Lord County Governor."
Under the lead of the new county magistrate, Liu Xuan arrived at the former county magistrate's mansion.
His first reaction was that it was luxurious!
The two stone lions at the door were carved lifelike, and the material used for the stone was also very good.
Within the mansion, there were all kinds of pavilions and pavilions.
Liu Xuan's second reaction to this mansion was that it was huge.
It occupied an area of five to six hundred acres, which was about the size of fifty to sixty standard football fields. If it was converted into a basketball court, it would be the size of eight to nine hundred basketball courts.
Under the lead of the new county magistrate, Liu Xuan walked around the mansion for quite a while before arriving at the storeroom in the depths of the mansion.
They walked into the storeroom.
The huge warehouse was filled with food.
A moldy and rotten smell filled the warehouse, making Liu Xuan vomit.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that a lot of the grain had already gone moldy and spoiled because it had been piled up for too long.
"The wine and meat of the vermilion gate are stinky, and the road is frozen to death!”
Recalling the scene of the commoners eating tree bark and grass roots to fill their stomachs, Liu Xuan finally understood the true meaning of this sentence.
"Pass down the order."
After a moment of silence, Liu Xuan said,""Every household, based on the number of people registered on the household register, each person can receive 50 catties of grain, but they can only come personally to receive it. They can't claim it without authorization. Stand! Decide!"
Including the 200,000 dans of grain he had obtained from the raid and the 300,000 dans of grain he had bought from the great clans, Liu Xuan had a total of 500,000 dans.
According to the information he had obtained from the documents of the County Governor's Office, the registered population of the entire Dai County was about 300,000.
If 300,000 people were to be given 50 catties of grain each, then Liu Xuan would have to give out 15 million catties of grain, which was 125,000 dans of grain. Liu Xuan could still accept this.
There were many benefits to doing so.
Firstly, it would allow Liu Xuan to easily secure his position as the governor of Dai County.
Secondly, Liu Xuan could gain a large number of people's hearts.
Thirdly, Liu Xuan could gain a huge wave of reputation.
Fourthly, Liu Xuan could use this opportunity to register all the citizens in Dai County that had not been registered, which would make it easier for him to manage them in the future.
Fifth, opening the granaries to release grain could reduce the number of bandits in Dai County.
After all, the people of this era were very innocent. If it wasn't for a mouthful of food, how could they go back to live a life of bloodshed?
Sixth, it could attract a portion of the citizens from other prefectures and counties, increasing the total population of Dai County.
It could be said to be killing six birds with one stone!
"Understood!"
The new county magistrate looked at Liu Xuan with a moved expression, his voice trembling slightly.
Looking at his tearful appearance, Liu Xuan knew that he had completely won this person's loyalty.
"Oh right, you must explain to the people that if there are people who are not registered in the household register, they only need to register on the spot and they will still be able to receive 50 dans of grain!”
"Yes!"
"Men, women, old and young, widowers, widows, and orphans can receive it!”
"Yes, sir!"
"If the refugees from other counties are willing to settle down in Dai County and register themselves in Dai County, they can also receive food!”
"Yes, sir!"
Two hours later.
Dai County.
At the city gate.
A county historian brought a few soldiers over and posted a notice at the city gate.
After he posted it, one of the soldiers started to beat the drum in his hand.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sound of drums and gongs immediately attracted countless people to come and watch.
However, most of the people were illiterate. They stood in place and waited for the county historian to read the contents of the announcement.
More and more people gathered.
Finally.
The county magistrate spoke, completely conveying Liu Xuan's order to open the granary.
Everyone was stunned.
