After sending Zhang He and the others away, Yuan Shao thought about it carefully and found that there was no problem and his arrangements were very reasonable.
The prefects and generals of Bohai are Wang Xiu and Zang Hong who have recently defected to him. They are also famous talents in history. There will definitely be no problem in guarding Bohai. They can be regarded as overqualified.
The rescue team, headed by Zhang He, with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhu Ling as their wings, can be considered a very luxurious lineup. He was also worried that their strategic abilities were insufficient, so he specially asked Guo Jia, the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms, to accompany the army to make plans, and also asked Yuan Fang to provide intelligence. It can be said that everything that can be considered has been taken into account by oneself, and everything is guaranteed to be foolproof.
After thinking about it like this, Yuan Shao felt at ease. He no longer had to think about the Bohai Sea. He could leave it to Zhang He and Guo Jia and wait for the good news.
So he didn't care about it, and just spent every day in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, teaching his cheap son a lesson, and waiting to hear the reports from his subordinates.
All the official affairs in Jizhou are handed over to Tian Feng, Jushu and Xun Yu. You can just listen to the reports and give them their opinions. Don't live this life too happily. No wonder you want to travel through time every day. Who knows the feeling of it.
When I was anxious at home, I went to the military camp to see how Zhao Yun and the others were training the army. I stopped by to persuade Xu Rong to surrender. After this guy came back from Luoyang, he finally became a little looser. Of course, he was striking while the iron was hot.
It is worth mentioning that since the last battle with Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao has been recruiting troops continuously since he came back from victory. Now the size of the army has reached 200,000. When the training is mature, it will be time for a decisive battle with Gongsun Zan. In one battle, Youzhou will be leveled, and in one battle, the north will be determined.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Xun Yu and Liu Ye coming hand in hand. Yuan Shao was curious and wondered how they could come together.
Yuan Shao suppressed the doubts in his heart and waited for Xun Yu and the others. After greeting them, he asked them to sit down and asked.
"Sit down, you don't have to be polite. I wonder if you two are coming together. Is there any big deal?"
Xun Yu and Liu Ye looked at each other, and Liu Ye signaled to Xun Yu that he had said it first and that it was not an important matter.
Xun Yu was not polite, and just reported to Xianhui first: "There is a matter concerning farming. If Xun Yu has some ideas, please let the lord make a decision."
Oh, farming, Yuan Shao knows a little bit about it. After hearing what Xun Yu said, he expressed his interest.
"Wen Ruo please made it clear that if possible, we will implement it now."
"Thank you, my lord."
Xun Yu thanked us and then told us his thoughts about farming.
Farming has existed since ancient times and originated in the Western Han Dynasty. During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty used criminals, slaves and recruited peasants to guard the borders and farm the fields. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dispatched a large number of soldiers to farm the Western Regions. However, at that time, farming was mainly concentrated in the western and northern borders. The main form was military settlement, and the scale was small.
To put it simply, farming means that the state forces farmers or soldiers to cultivate state-owned land and collects a certain amount of land rent. But now, according to Xun Yu's suggestion, there must be a complete system for farming, which is the so-called farming system.
He suggested that farming should be carried out near Yecheng. There are two types of settlements: civilian settlements and military settlements. There is one village for every fifty people in the village, and there is a Sima in the village, and above it there are Diannong Captain, Diannong Xiaowei, etc., and they are not under the jurisdiction of counties or counties. The military garrison consists of soldiers working in the fields, with sixty people in a battalion, guarding on one side and working on the fields on the other. The harvest was shared with the state, and farmers and soldiers were not allowed to leave their fields at will.
After hearing what he said here, Yuan Shao reacted and had to express his admiration. How could I have forgotten this big killer, thanks to Xun Yu's reminder.
With this big killer, you won't have to worry about food, grass and soldiers in the future. From now on, who will be your opponent?
Yuan Shao was very proud and excited, and praised Xun Yu fiercely. He is indeed my son-in-law.
"Sir, you are a great talent. After listening to your words, I was enlightened and enlightened."
Xun Yu humbly said, "The general is so complimentary. This is just his duty."
Liu Ye also reacted and answered happily, "Brother-in-law is right, Wen Ruo's suggestion is really good. With the farmland, we will become stronger as we fight in the future, and the reunification of Hebei will be just around the corner."
"Haha, I wonder who Diannong School Wei Wenruo thinks can take on the role?"
Yuan Shao liked what he said very much, laughed endlessly, and asked Xun Yu.
When Xun Yu heard Yuan Shao's question, he knew that he agreed. He was very happy and wanted to answer.
You know, it was Liu Ye who intervened and said, "I have a person who is very qualified and I recommend it to the lord."
Oh, after hearing this Yuan Shao became interested and looked at Liu Ye waiting for his next step.
Liu Ye was also unambiguous and said, "I also know this Wen Ruo, and I came here this time and wanted to recommend it to my brother-in-law."
He also knew him, so Xun Yu asked with interest, "I wonder who he is?"
Yuan Shao also listened attentively, and Liu Ye stopped talking and just said it. It turned out that Man Boning was doting on him, and he had a close relationship with Guo Jia and Liu Ye, and was known as the Iron Triangle of Yingchuan.
Xun Yu was very happy to hear that he was favored by Man Chong, and he quickly recommended, "What Zi Yang said is true, the position of Dian Nong Xiaowei belongs to none other than Man Boning."
Of course, Yuan Shao understood Man Chong very well. This guy was a famous general of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He served the Cao family for three generations and was in charge of the judiciary. He was known for his strict law enforcement and was a cruel official.
But he was brave and resourceful and participated in the Battle of Chibi. Later, when Guan Yu besieged Fan City, Man Chong assisted Cao Ren in defending the city, discouraging his plan to abandon the city and flee, and successfully persisted until reinforcements arrived. Later, he was stationed in Xinye and was responsible for the war against Wu on the Jingzhou side, and he made many contributions. He finally held the position of Taiwei, and he was a seriously underestimated talent.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was very happy and asked, "I wonder where Boning is now?"
Liu Ye said to him, "Just waiting in the living room, the lord summoned me."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to meet Daxian together."
Yuan Shao was very anxious and took the lead towards the living room as he spoke. Xun Yu and Liu Ye followed behind with satisfaction.
After a while, we arrived at the living room. When Yuan Shao walked in, he saw a resolute-looking scribe about the same age as Liu Ye, drinking tea calmly.
Yuan Shao said happily, "I don't know Boning, you have arrived in Jizhou, and I am not expecting you from afar."
When Man Chong saw Yuan Shao coming, of course he could no longer remain calm and quickly stood up to pay homage.
"Sanyang Manchong, I have met Master Zhou Mu, and the general is polite."
Yuan Shao stepped forward, helped Man Chong up and asked him to sit down quickly. At the same time, he also called Liu Ye and Xun Yu to take their seats.
We were all friends of Xueyou Yingchuan in the past, so we were naturally very familiar with each other, so we bowed to each other. Liu Ye also told him about recommending Man Chong as the captain of Diannong School. As expected, he was from the Iron Triangle. Man Chong understood the importance of this position as soon as he heard it and agreed without hesitation. I'm a little happy, just waiting for Yuan Shao's appointment.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao was unambiguous and took the opportunity to order, "Since Boning is happy with it, I will appoint you as Dian Nong Xiaowei and concurrently as Yecheng Commandery."
After being appointed, Xun Yu and Liu Ye were both surprised. In addition to being responsible for farming, the lord also handed over the important position of Yecheng Ling to Man Chong, who had just arrived. They had to be admired.
As for Man Chong, he had long been grateful. He bowed to the ground and thanked her.
"My lord is so kind and loyal, and he loves you so much that he is loyal to you. It's hard to repay your kindness in case something happens."
"Bo Ning doesn't have to be like this, it's just a matter of knowing people and doing them well," Yuan Shao said calmly.
These words made Man Chong burst into tears and vowed to fight for his lord's great cause for the rest of his life. Xun Yu and the others also sighed that their lord's mind was as broad as the sea.
Yuan Shao discussed the details of the farming with Xun Yu, Man Chong and others. Let them go to Tian Feng and Jushu with their own passwords and give them orders to farm.
But he took Liu Ye to the backyard to find his two sons, chatting about family affairs and discussing family happiness.
