Chapter 266 Cui Hao’s melancholy

Liu Xin saw that Du You was cautious, and he did not force the other party. He asked Jiang Li and Jian Yong to accompany him and give him the best hospitality. He would be satisfied with everything the other party wanted to see, and he did not need to ask the other party before leaving. All kinds of "local specialties"

Serve it with two gold cakes.

They all mailed them back and reported to Cui Wei on the situation in Xiandu County. In less than a year, Liu Xin had improved the strength of the entire Xiandu County by several levels. The people in the four major townships outside the city lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was much better than in Changli County.

Jiang Li and He Ye's political achievements are both excellent. Xiandu County's population is now close to catching up with Changli County's. If the outer city wall is built, Liu Xin may live a more comfortable life than Cui Hao.

"Sir, the people of Xiandu County are building the outer city wall together. When the city wall is completed, Xiandu County will be more than twice the size of Changli County.

Then Liu Xin also paid wages to those mud-legged people, and some Xianbei prisoners also received wages. There were no victims or beggars inside and outside the city, and the entire Xiandu County was very prosperous." They all returned to Changli County and saw Cui Cui, the prefect.

Report from Haohui.

"So, Liu Xin is not only good at fighting, he is also very good at governing Xiandu County. Do you know where Liu Xin got the money to give to the poor people? This is a huge sum of money." Cui Nao asked.

The current population of Xiandu County is close to 40,000. According to Du You’s understanding, it will cost at least tens of millions of dollars every month, and it will not exceed hundreds of millions this year. If Cui Hao has so much money, how can he use it?

He went to Changli County to serve as an official.

"Back to your lord, Liu Xin built a market at the mouth of the Pingzi River and transported all kinds of goods from the south. He controlled the grain, cloth, salt, tea, etc. in the entire Xiandu County, and he earned a lot of money every month.

few.

Many people in Xiandu County respect Liu Xin very much. Even Xianbei prisoners are very obedient in Xiandu County. Many Xianbei prisoners have become ordinary people. They wear Han clothes and live in Xiandu County like ordinary people.

." Du Zhi replied.

Cui Nao couldn't help but start to think. He didn't expect Liu Xin to be so powerful. He had already achieved such achievements in less than a year after arriving in Xiandu County. Moreover, he could defeat the 20,000 Xianbei army. His combat power was completely unmatched by him.

Yes, everything like this is not easy to handle!

He had read Liu Xin's letter rejecting the transfer order several times. The other party was not stupid and would not give up everything he owned in Xiandu County due to this transfer order. Cui Ao himself did not dare to really confront the other party.

If he had angered Liu Xin, how could he be his opponent? Then he would have fled back in despair. Even if he told the court that Liu Xin was planning to rebel, the court would not have sent troops to suppress it. The most likely thing would have been to give up the post of governor of Changli County to him.

He tried to comfort him.

Therefore, Cui Nao has only one way to appease the powerful Liu Xin. But if Liu Xin is allowed to continue developing like this, how will he stay in Changli County? Wait until he brings all the people in Changli County to Xiandu County

Go? Show off your incompetence as a prefect like this?

Suppression can't be suppressed. How can he win back the other party if he conquers himself? Cui Nao suddenly remembered that Liu Bei, the classic historian of Xiandu County, came to visit him a few days ago. Listening to the other party's tone, it was clear that he was not on good terms with Liu Xin. He might be able to disintegrate from within Xiandu County.

They thus took Xiandu County into their own hands.

Thinking of this, Cui Xiang sent his cronies to Xiandu County to quietly contact the officials of Xiandu County. At the same time, he remembered that Liu Bei said that his two sworn brothers were now the most important generals under Liu Xin.

Liu Xin waited for the autumn harvest to be completed. While he asked his servants to expand the scale of raising chickens, he urged them to plow the 90,000 acres of fields outside Xiandu County and fertilize the land before winter came.

At the same time, the reclamation of new fields in each township cannot be put aside. The cultivated land cultivated in the four townships has exceeded 100,000 acres, but it will not be cultivated next year. Liu Xin asked the officials to be responsible for cultivating all the land that can be cultivated before next spring. If it reaches

According to Liu Xin's fertilization requirements, these new fields can be cultivated the year after tomorrow.

With Zhou Tai leading his army in the southern part of Xiandu County, Wuhuan cavalry has never been harassed in the area 30 miles from Xiandu County. In the past few days, there have been many incidents of wolves attacking villagers. Liu Xin has sent people to clear them out.

There are wolves in Xiandu County.

Seeing the farmland outside the city becoming more and more flat, Liu Xin came to the countryside outside the city. Most of the people were building the city wall outside Xiandu County. He saw that the construction of every village in this township had almost been completed.

It is much simpler for ordinary people to build houses than to live in city walls. They just need to build mud bricks with multiple layers of hay and mud to keep out the rain. Some villages have built fire walls, but most of them are used to breed earthworms. Liu Xin saw that the lives of the people are actually still the same.

He is on the line of food and clothing. When the outer city wall is completed next year, he must renovate the houses in the villages outside the city so that every family can live in a fire wall house.

The winter in Changli County is very cold. Winter usually starts in November and does not end until the end of February, which is about a month longer than in Zhuo County.

After checking the situation in each township, Liu Xin asked each township to build more houses with fire walls and raise earthworms. When the people couldn't bear the cold at home, they could come here to keep warm. He didn't want the people under his rule to freeze to death.

The weather started to get colder, and it was only mid-October. Liu Xin was talking to Zhang Qingyu at the county government office. Zhang Qingyu was now his financial manager. She was reporting to Liu Xin on this year's accounts.

Liu Xin has been in consumption in Xiandu County this year, spending more than 40 million yuan, and there are so many goods with a total value of about 70 million yuan.

However, he obtained many war horses, which were worth more than 140 million yuan. This did not include 5,000 horses, 6,000 cattle, countless herbs, furs, and animal bones.

While talking happily to Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Qingyu is now 16 years old, and she has become accustomed to the way she gets along with Liu Xin. She is dedicated to being Liu Xin's good wife, taking care of the entire county government's backyard, and taking good care of Liu Xin's daily life.

Suddenly Liu Xin heard a commotion outside the county government office, and soon he saw He Ye walking in armor. Liu Xin guessed that the Xiandu cavalry might have encountered a situation, but he had not seen any soldiers killed in the past few days.

"Greetings, sir!" He Ye saluted Liu Xin.

"What's going on? You're so panicked!" Liu Xin waved his hand to Zhang Qingyu to get down.

"Sir, the Murong tribe has been fighting with us for more than half a month. There is nothing we can do. Now he has gone to the west. The direction he is going is towards Changli County. The Murong tribe may be attacking Changli County!" He Ye told Liu Xin

said.

"Attack Changli County? They may not have plundered much this year. They are going to Changli County to grab food! They know we are not easy to offend and change the target.

Our governor may ask us for help. Winter is about to enter, and Pingzihe City does not need too many troops to protect. Let Zhou Tai and others lead the cavalry to withdraw to the county!
