Sun Jian nodded silently. He understood. Zhang Xuan patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "I just wanted to explain that population is more important than land, but in fact, it cannot be occupied at will. You can refer to the method of Beihai County. The land is divided into official land and private land. Private land is a fixed quota, and official land is leased, which depends on your ability. In short, you can't bear to bear the child and not be so petty."

"I understand."

"Implement it now! After the wheat is harvested, let them come to Gaotang County to reclaim the land. If the manpower is insufficient, the army can help."

Sun Jian agreed and turned around and left. Zhang Xuan did not enter the crowd to greet him, but looked at the elderly, weak, women and children who followed the soldiers into the city from afar. He was considering how to resettle these people. He imagined that Zhang Xutuo's Qi County plan was centered on Licheng County, and the people were distributed around him. If there was any danger, the people would immediately go to the city to take refuge. This was the castle plan, a population preservation plan that has been effective for thousands of years, and could maximize the military deployment.

In many cases, his war with the enemy is actually a war for population. No matter who has the population, he has the greatest war resources.

"Master!" A low voice came from behind.

Zhang Xuan turned around and saw Li Jing appearing behind him at some point.

"Is there anything wrong with the pharmacist?"

"Master, I want to talk to you."

"About what"

"Bohai Association!"

Zhang Xuan nodded and asked his personal soldiers to give up a horse, "Go on the horse!"

Li Jing turned over and followed Zhang Xuan to the north along the official road, and the personal soldiers followed them from afar.

There are large wheat fields on both sides. The wheat is already yellow. The breeze blows, and the wheat waves roll, showing an endless golden color.

"The harvest is good today!" Zhang Xuan looked at Mai Lang and smiled with relief.

Li Jing seemed a little worried, Zhang Xuan looked at him and smiled, "Is it possible that the pharmacist is also from the Bohai Society?"

"That's not the case, I have nothing to do with Bohai."

"What are you worried about?"

Li Jing sighed, "I am afraid that the general will make a mistake, so I missed the opportunity to wipe out the Bohai Association."

Zhang Xuan laughed, "I hope to hear it carefully!"

"The Grand Marshal may not know how deeply the Bohai Association penetrated in Hebei. I came from the Li family of Zhaojun. In my memory, since my father, the Bohai Association began to contact Hebei gentry. At that time, they were called the Daqi Remnants Association. Although the Hebei family had not completely turned to the Bohai Association, after decades of contact and development, I believe that the Hebei family has already had a close relationship with the Bohai."

"I actually know, too!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Someone from the Lu family joined the Bohai Association, and they are still important figures. Even Luo Yi and Dou Jiande are members of the Bohai Association. They also have foreign aid. Goguryeo has always supported the Bohai Association. Since the Northern Qi era, both have been allies, which is also an important reason why the late emperor first launched the battle against Goguryeo."

"What is the Da Zheng going to deal with the Bohai Association?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I decided to let them go."

Li Jing was stunned and said for a while: "How could the general explain to the court?"

Zhang Xuan said slowly: "I am actually very clear about the infiltration of Bohai in Hebei. I know that letting these people go back to the mountain. But everything has to be weighed. The Bohai Association is my enemy, but having them in Hebei will do more benefits than disadvantages. I also need the existence of the Bohai Association. At least in this year, I still need such an enemy. Once I don't need it, it's not too late for me to eradicate them. To be honest, I really didn't take the Bohai Association to heart, as for the court."

Zhang Xuan smiled, "I think someone will do this for me."

"Is the Grand Marshal Yu Shiji?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Since he expressed his willingness to make friends with me, I will see how he performed."

"What if he doesn't keep his promise? How can the Grand Marshal put his destiny in the hands of others?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Are there more than a thousand Bohai soldiers? They are used to plug this possible loophole."

Li Jing sighed helplessly. He knew that Zhang Xuan had settled his mind and could not persuade him. Zhang Xuan understood his regretful mood and in turn advised him: "Damage is the basis of good fortune, and good fortune is the basis of misfortune. If Bohai will not be active in Hebei, I am afraid I will not be able to return to Qingzhou. Why did the emperor choose me to come to Hebei? Isn't it because I have no aristocratic family background? Similarly, if I eradicate Bohai, then I will have no value to the emperor, and I will even become the second Yang Yichen. That's why I said that leaving an enemy now is beneficial or harmless to me."

"Although it's reasonable, I think the risk is still a little too great."

Zhang Xuan said lightly: "Hebei is not only controlled by the gentry, but also many old nobles of Northern Qi. They still have great power in various counties. They have brothers, sons and nephews, and their families are no less than aristocratic families. There are thousands of people. If they kill these 70 captured Bohai Association members, it is equivalent to adding an enemy to him in Hebei. They will always be hated and resisted. If they cannot kill them all, I think it is better to let them use it for me. Bohai will make them loyal, why can't I let them support me?"

"The handsome man is smart, I'm still short-sighted!" Li Jing fully understood Zhang Xuan's intention, and he felt a little ashamed.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "You are not short-sighted, but we have different starting points. You are considering the aristocratic family, but I am considering the aristocratic family, so the choice is different. If I were born in aristocratic family, maybe I would have the same choice as you."

"The Grand Marshal is right, and it is indeed a different starting point." Li Jing wanted to say that Zhang Xuan was considering the problem from the perspective of the king, and he was considering the problem from the perspective of the minister, but he hesitated for a moment, but he didn't say it.
