Chapter 85

However, shortly after they entered Luoyang, they found that the people who were captured and intercepted by Dong Zhuo were successively returned to Luoyang. At first, they thought these people had escaped from Dong Zhuo's army, so they didn't care. However, as time went by, more and more ordinary people returned to Luoyang, and they began to be a little scared. Did Liu Bin's Youzhou army actually rescue all the people who were caught and intercepted by the Xiliang army? They sent people to ask about these people and roughly knew the specific situation. It turned out that Liu Bin did not have much battle with the Xiliang army on the road. The Xiliang army only sent some old, weak and remnants to guard them. These people were easily defeated by the Youzhou army and surrendered. The Youzhou army escorted them to the countryside, so they came back.

After hearing these people's words, the princes breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the Youzhou army had not yet really started with the Xiliang army. That's good, let them fight. Just enjoy it here with peace of mind. But before they were proud of them for two days, some Youzhou soldiers escorted Wang Yun and other ministers back to Luoyang. The return of these ministers made these princes feel like they had eaten a fly, which was disgusting. They knew which ministers were snatched by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, and they were very proud. They didn't want a certain mountain to be pressed on their heads. They came to attack Dong Zhuo for the sake of the so-called righteousness. They didn't want to have a tight curse for themselves. They wanted all the ministers to die. In this way, they could be free and free to be the local emperor.

But who knew that Liu Bin actually rescued these ministers and who were the best ministers. He sent them back to Luoyang. Isn’t this causing them trouble? With these three ministers, it was their turn to be arrogant in Luoyang. This Liu Bin is really hateful. However, although they were a little tired of these ministers, they could not welcome them respectfully. Fortunately, although Luoyang has become a ruin, some palaces in the palace were rescued in time and kept a little, so they can still maintain the appearance of the court.

A few days after these ministers were disgusted, Liu Bin brought back the army and brought back millions of ordinary people. These princes and the rescued ministers were all confused. Why did Liu Bin and his Youzhou army come back so soon? Didn’t he fight Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang army? This doesn’t seem to be Liu Bin’s habit of doing things. However, although they were confused, Liu Bin came back and they had to come out to greet him.

Yuan Shao took the princes and ministers such as Wang Yun to go out to greet Liu Bin. After Liu Bin smiled and saw the ceremony with them, Yuan Shao took the lead and said, "I dare to ask His Highness King Jin. Why are you back? Has His Highness King Jin wiped out the rebel Dong Zhuo? But why didn't you see the emperor return? Could something happen?" Now, Luoyang, Sishui Pass, and Hulao Pass have all been occupied by Yuan Shao's army. He has regarded himself as the masters of these places. Although these places were captured by Liu Bin, Liu Bin has too few subordinates and cannot occupy so many places at all. In the end, wouldn't he still need his own army?

He was a little unhappy about Liu Bin's sudden return. He thought that Liu Bin had come back to grab his victory fruit, so he asked Liu Bin in his master's tone and reminded Liu Bin that these places were now his. Let Liu Bin avoid paying attention to these places. After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Liu Bin couldn't help but smile. He naturally understood what Yuan Shao meant, but he was too lazy to argue with Yuan Shao. He didn't like these places yet. Although Luoyang was nominally the capital of the Han Dynasty, in fact, it was already the ceasefire line between the Guandong princes and the Xiliang army, and it was a quagmire, which could easily make people fall into it. It was not a suitable place for development at all. Liu Bin had long wanted to throw it away. He was very happy about Yuan Shao's attitude. As long as Yuan Shao fell into it, it would not be so easy for him to develop. He could lose another opponent and reduce some trouble.

So Liu Bin just smiled and said, "Of course not. Although Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army fled in a panic, its strength is still there, and there are still hundreds of thousands of troops. Our army is too small. Although we are brave and good at fighting, it is impossible to eliminate them so quickly. However, all the people along the way were captured by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army. It was really inconvenient to fight. So I plan to escort these people back first to relieve the worries of future troubles, so that we can do our best to eradicate the big traitor Dong Zhuo."

After hearing this, the princes nodded and realized that Liu Bin did not want to fight Dong Zhuo, but for these people. He really didn't understand him. Since these people blocked the road, let's kill them, why would he escort them back? It's really troublesome, and now Luoyang is like this, with an army of hundreds of thousands stationed there, so where can they live? And there is not so much food and grass for them to supply them. In the end, they still starve to death and freeze to death? After these assists, they did not intend to use their own military rations to replenish these people.

However, it is not convenient for them to say these words. After all, it seems that they are too weak. But they have no way to say that there are some people. Situ Wang Yun is the person with the highest status and official positions, including everyone, including those who have drunk enough. Moreover, Situ is in charge of the government affairs of the world in name, so he said: "His Royal Highness of Jin loves the people as much as his son, which touches us very much. But now Luoyang has become like this, and all the houses and food have been snatched and burned by the thieves of Xiliang. Even if these people come back, they still have no food or a place to live. What should we do?"

After hearing this, Liu Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Situ. I have already thought about it. Now Luoyang cannot accommodate so many people. Staying here will only increase casualties. However, my Youzhou has suffered a lot of population due to continuous wars, so our website plans to move them to Youzhou if these people do not object. As for their houses and grain, we naturally have our Youzhou to supply this. This is not something that Situ is worried about."

After hearing this, Wang Yun nodded and expressed his satisfaction. As Situ, he naturally did not want a large number of casualties near the capital. As long as these people can live, that would be great. As for whether he is in Youzhou or Luoyang, it doesn't matter, they are all people of the court.

But when the princes heard this, they couldn't help but secretly laugh at Liu Bin. They thought that Liu Bin was too kind. Although he did this, it would add a lot of good reputation to him, it would drag him down and drag down the entire Youzhou. Although Youzhou has developed well in recent years, its foundation is too shallow. No matter how rich Liu Bin is, he can't take out food that can supply millions of people at once. In the entire Youzhou, no, it should be said that under the control of Liu Bin, there are already millions of people. If millions of people are flocking to Youzhou, then Youzhou will not be poor by these ordinary people.

After all, a county can support a population of a county. At its peak, the entire Han Dynasty had only more than 50 million people. Now Liu Bin actually wanted to use most of Youzhou to support tens of millions. Isn’t this too whimsical? With this money and food, it’s better to expand his army. As long as he can conquer a larger territory, are he afraid of lack of people? Liu Bin seems to be a little short-sighted. All the princes think that Liu Bin’s decision was a big failure. Youzhou will not be enough to intimidate the princes in the world from then on.

Even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao think so. After all, it is impossible to feed one-fifth of the world's land with one-twentieth of the world. No, it should be one-third of the population now. It was not possible before, but now it may not work. Moreover, the land in Youzhou is not very fertile. This is even more difficult to achieve. Liu Bin's decision made them feel that they were so arrogant to Liu Bin. Liu Bin may be very powerful in fighting, but it is probably much worse to manage local civil affairs. Liu Bin will definitely regret this decision in the future. He is no longer enough to intimidate the world. He doesn't have to care too much about him in the future.

However, although they thought that Liu Bin's actions were a big failure, no one took the initiative to remind Liu Bin to share his worries and solve his problems. Instead, they praised Liu Bin in the senior year, saying, "The benevolence and righteousness of the King of Jin is rare in ancient and modern times."

"The King of Jin loves the people as his son, and the people deeply admire them."

Wait, it seemed like they were worried that Liu Bin would not do this, and encouraged Liu Bin to stick to the end. They had a good plan. If they could do it without spending one soldier and one soldier, they could relieve Liu Bin's big troubles. That would be the best. They applauded and it was too late, so how could they organize Liu Bin to do this?

When Liu Bin saw these people's flattery, he just smiled and said a few humble words on the surface. He secretly scolded these people for being ignorant and ignorant. He didn't know who was stupid. Of course, he understood what these people thought, but he was not worried at all. What these people could not do in the past does not mean that they could not do it. Who said that a state could not support so many people. People's creativity is infinite. How many people can support a state can support a state is determined by the local economic and technological conditions. You must know that Zi'an modern, one with Henan Province can support 100 million people. Although it is impossible for modern technology to develop in this era and its productivity is far inferior to that of a decade, it is still possible to support 10 million people. His measures have gradually improved the productivity of Youzhou, increased economic strength, and increased grain output. In addition, a large number of livestock have raised 10 million people, but he still thinks it is too small.
