"In the past, the land is frugal and unpredictable. If you are fighting and farming, you will be able to strengthen your horses to facilitate your rush to the enemy. Since ancient times, you will win when you go out and be free when you go. However, at this moment, a large number of soldiers and civilians are here, and their daily food, clothing, housing and consumption are consumed greatly, so you must drive the people to farm in order to have some colonies and enrich the granaries. This is what is called using the people. Shao believed that the direction of using the people is one of the most important, and the urgent ones are one of the most urgent ones."

This use of the people means organizing the people to enter production and construction. Lu Yao is busy with military affairs and has no good ideas about this. However, Shao Xu said that there are serious cases and urgent cases, and he seems to be confident. Lu Yao was worried about the current situation of the current situation, so he said: "Please tell me that the urgent cases are first."

Shao Xu dipped his fingers in water and drew a winding arc on the table: "General, please see, this is the Qiyi River that runs across the Luochuan Plain from east to east." He drew several circles on both sides of the arc: "The Luochuan thieves who were originally entrenched here have been plundering Han refugees as serfs for many years and forced them to engage in farming. These are the fields that can be farmed by the Qiyi River, totaling eleven farms, covering an area of ​​less than 30,000 mu. These acres are mainly dry land, and the planting of grain, millet, sorghum, and so on. Although they were abandoned due to war, they were not long after all, and they only needed to weed and replanted in time to ensure production."

"As for the strategy of restoring production, there is no better way to farm farming: under the prefect's mansion, a farmer is set up to specialize in farming. The farmer officials inspected various places, examined the land's appropriateness, and assigned people to be farmer farmers; fifty-day garrisons were set up to establish a farmer, and led them with old soldiers who were familiar with farming. Recently, they defeated the Hu tribe and obtained many cattle and horses, so they could be provided to the plunderers. By September, the public would receive six of them and four of them into private parts. Even if the minimum limit of yield per slur per mu, more than 18,000 stones of grain would be put into the warehouse by the autumn harvest, which was enough to raise soldiers."

Directly implementing the method of military farming, taking over the land to public ownership, and using all the refugees in their hands as tenants as tenants, is a method to gather material resources in the shortest time. Lu Yao deeply agrees, but...

"The land of the country has been established, and people are full of doubts. The number of people in thousands of households is uneven, and the wealth and poverty are uneven. It seems difficult to be classified as military farmer. In addition, the situation of military households is different. How should we deal with it?"

Military farming is an effective method, but when it is implemented in detail, it cannot be simply one-size-fits-all. It is fine if the people were originally poor and humble, but they would not be willing to live without any self-reliance. Those who had a small family property and assets would definitely not be willing to be a tenant for a long time; and those with larger families could control the civilian villages by relying on the number of people, which was not favored by Lu Yao. Should the families of soldiers be given preferential treatment during the military farming process? This is also a problem that must be considered. If there is no good solution to these problems, the people will not be able to farm with peace of mind, and Lu Yao's controlled area will inevitably cause trouble.

Shao Xu smiled and said, "The General is indeed aware. If we only have one Luochuan, it is indeed difficult to deal with it. But as the prefect of Dai County, all the problems will be solved. In the past few days, I have traveled to various parts of Dai County and witnessed that there are still many unowned farms in Guangchang, Dangcheng, Dai County and other places. Although most of them are deserted for a long time, they are not as good as Luochuan, but the area is not less than thousands of hectares. We can announce all the military and civilians that after the autumn harvest, we will all allocate the fields. The fields near the military pass can be classified as military camps; the meritorious soldiers can receive rewards for the fields; if there are subsequent refugees, they can cultivate and settle on their own; the clan surnames that do not intend to settle the people can also be moved out gradually. In this way, the military households and civilians will feel that they have a better future and will be satisfied."

This is indeed a way to take into account the output of farming and sericulture and stabilize people's hearts, and it is indeed enough to solve the current urgent tasks. But these civil affairs are really unfamiliar to Lu Yao. So he felt that he needed to think carefully and agreed immediately without agreeing.

"Mr. Shao may as well talk about it again, what is the serious one?"

"Yu Gongzhong said that the land of Youzhou today is only white soil, and only middle ground, and has not been fertile land since ancient times. The land of Du Kang in Fanyang was blocked into a large swamp. However, during the Warring States Period, Yan State built the 50-mile Du Kang Canal, which turned the land of Du Kang into fertile land. Yan State relied on this to compete with the Central Plains and became one of the seven heroes. During the Jiaping period of the Former Wei Dynasty, there were also a thousand soldiers in the northwest of Zhenbei, Liu Jing, general of Zhenbei, guided the Liangliang River, built Guangliye, and opened the car box channel. From northwest of Ji to Changping, Yuyang and Lu County in the east, there were more than ten thousand fields in the fields, and the border people benefited them. To this day, Wang Jun, the general of the Cavalry, was harsh and violent, but he could use tens of millions of tiger cavalry and surplus supplies. According to half of the wall of Youzhou, he was called a powerful man in the world, and it was all the shade of Du Kang Old Canal and Guangli Canal."

The pattern that Shao Xu had drawn on the table table had already dried up. He dipped it again and marked the Qiyi water and the surrounding terrain one by one: "Daijun is a good horse warrior, and it can be used as the basis for making achievements. I also know that the general always has the wish to clarify the world, not just those who are complacent of 2,000 stones. However, Chao Cuo once said in the Han Dynasty that the stone city was ten feet high, the pond was a hundred steps, and the armor was one million, and the millet was lost. No matter what measures we take next, relying solely on the 10,000 hectares of dry land in Daijun is not enough. Therefore, please ask the general to raise all the people to build water conservancy. This is the most important thing to use the people."

He pushed the tableware, wine utensils and the like on the table table to the corner, dipped it in water and continued to write, adding many lines along the Qiyi water, densely packed with spider webs: "General, please see, if you can build a pond and serve as water on the Qiyi water, and then dig small canals on the left and right sides of the river to dig the river water for irrigation, you can turn all the Luochuan Plain into a fertile land. When used for farming, you can replant wheat and grain, and produce more than four stones per mu! "

"Oh?" Lu Yao really didn't expect that Shao Xu had some experience in water conservancy. He couldn't help but stand up and came to the desk to take a closer look: "The yield of four stones per mu? If the land in Luochuan can be fully cultivated, it will be more than 100,000 mu in two days? If it can yield more than four stones per mu, it will be enough to supply a 100,000 army, haha! Haha!"

Shao Xu leaned over to Lu Yao and said word by word: "During the Han Dynasty, the general under the command of Ban Chao, the Dunhuang native Suole once gathered thousands of Han men, crossed the riverside and dominated Loulan. In the Datian of Loulan for three years, he accumulated millions of grain, so he was able to level the Han road, cut off the right arm of the Huns, and impose the thirty-six countries. Dai land and Ji, Bingzhou were separated by thousands of mountains and valleys, just like hanging out of the territory, facing the strong Hu on three sides. Although the people were trapped in the barbarians for a long time, they were frightened by the benefits of their soldiers and swords, they were unable to support the court with all their hearts. In Shao's view, the situation was like the Western Regions. Therefore, he dared to ask the general to follow the stories of his ancestors, use the people to cultivate mulberry and water, and first make the land of the generation prosperous and strong. This is the most important thing in political affairs."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yao's joy suddenly faded away. He fell into a long silence.

Although Lu Yao is not a famous scholar who is good at analyzing mysterious principles, he can also hear the string songs and know the meaning of elegant meaning. He could imagine that in Shao Xu's eyes, although he was born in aristocratic families, he started his own family and had few cultural education. In recent years, he has gained a high position after a series of fierce battles, and his actions have become more fierce and tough. Since entering Dai County, Lu Yao has severely punished and ruthlessly killed externally, which has also confirmed Shao Xu's view. That's why he made a suggestion at this time, hoping that Lu Yao, the new prefect of Dai County, could stolen martial arts and culture, suspend the war, and put civil affairs first.

This suggestion is correct. If you want to be a rank-level official who makes a difference, this is the right way. However, Lu Yao had no way to guarantee that he could follow the path planned by Shao Xu. He could only sigh deeply: Even if someone with true insight like Shao Xu could not predict how tragic collapse the Great Jin Dynasty would face!
