Chapter 209 A million rivers are given to the people

In the first year of Zhongping, he hurriedly passed by a turbulent chaos. (eng.com_) Looking at the Han Dynasty, there were "mobs" rising up and "generals" who occupied land and became kings everywhere. In addition to Yizhou and Jiaozhou's remote areas were sparsely populated and did not rebel, even the vassal states under the Chief of the Western Regions dared to resist the orders and disrespect them. They were flirting with the Kangju, Kushan, Dayuezhi and other countries outside the country, and there were signs of being out of control of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the world is not all messy. At least the Bingzhou occupied by Zhao Xing is still like a pot of warm water. Its relationship with the court is lukewarm, and its contacts with other prefectures and counties are not salty or indifferent. It is not like other forces that attacked the Yellow Turban rebels who cried with the court every few days, so they were poor, so they were seeking credit, and officials. Zhao Xing’s principle is: Don’t mess with me!

Zhao Xing now likes to quietly hide on the Taihang Mountain behind Wohu City to see the scenery, and hide in the backyard of the city lord's mansion to tease the two brothers and sisters Zhao Zhenbang and Zhao Siping who can't speak. For him, the world's major events are not as important as roast lamb legs for three meals a day. Since the battle with the Xianbei people in "Qingniwa", Zhao Xing has undergone some changes. Only those who often have contact with Zhao Xing will find such changes, such as several sworn brothers, Li Tiezhu, Dian Wei and the female relatives in the backyard.

According to the talented woman Zhang Xin, it is that "the husband has become a little sympathetic and inexplicably sad." The situation in Bingzhou is now very good. In the internal affairs, Jia Xu, Sima Zhi, Zao Zhi, Cui Yan and Li Fu, all the refugees were placed, the military and civilians guarding the border and farming were in place, and the food in Bingzhou was also harvested; the military had just achieved a shocking victory in the world, and Zhao Yun's Canglang Army is still in the rear of the Xianbei people, and the reduction of personnel caused by the loss of war has been made up by the hard-working Gao Shun. Why is Zhao Xing still inexplicably sad in this situation?

Zhao Xing was worried about the homeless people in other states, and was sad about the grassroots who had divorced their wives and children, destroyed their fields, and had no food to fill their stomachs. Although he was also a grassroots person, although he could temporarily peace in the people of a state, he was currently unable to save the people in the world who were in dire straits. According to Zhao Xing's prediction, a major disaster with the same plague and famine in the second year of Zhongping is likely to break out, and the direct consequence of this catastrophe is to take away tens of millions of lives!

The population in the late Eastern Han Dynasty began to decline rapidly. Since Emperor Ling of Han ascended the throne, there was a plague or famine every two or three years, which was also the direct cause of the Yellow Turban Uprising. The people had to face the danger of hunger and endure the rampant plague. They were all killed, so they simply started to kill officials and rebel. If they did well, they could become founding heroes.

As the saying goes, "If a person has no long-term plan, he will have immediate worries." Zhao Xing felt sad because he considered the long-term, but this would not affect the mood of the entire Bingzhou people. In their eyes, the Spring Festival in the second year of Zhongping is a rare "big fat year"! In order to further promote the integration between the Shangdang people, Qiang and Hu people in Hexi and the refugees who moved from Jizhou, Zhao Xing issued a notice before New Year's Eve that he would open a gathering club in Jinyang, eldest son, Mayi, Wuyuan and other places in Bingzhou to welcome the New Year. At that time, the General Mansion of Zhenbei will distribute three altars of long river songs to each household in Bingzhou for free to celebrate.

As soon as this news came out, Bingzhou caused a sensation. The population of Bingzhou now exceeds 1.5 million. According to the five households, Zhao Xing will give away one million karaokes for free this time! When Zhao Xing told the General's Office that Qin Yilu and Liu Jili, who were in charge of finance, he was strongly opposed. In Qin Yilu's eyes, this million karaokes are the inventory of Wohu Winery for half a year. If it is exchanged for property and food, it can fill the Wohu City. Liu Jili also felt that the number of noodles for free to give wine to the people is too huge, which will affect the General's Office's fiscal budget for the next year.

Zhao Xing had no way to explain to the two people what the term "stimulating domestic demand" means, so he had to rely on his identity to force the order and told them that they would send one million jars this time, and the harvest for the next year might be ten million jars. The two of them didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to say much, so they had to open the door of the wine-stowed cave in Taihang Mountains with great distress and watched the soldiers bring jars of good wine onto the cart...

After the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, the Zuixianlou, which was distributed to Changhe Daqu, all places also distributed the benefits promised by General Zhenbei to the people of Bingzhou. Given the reputation of "Zhao Shaved Head" and the character of "Little Overlord", there was no robbery in various places, but lined up in order to collect it. There was no one who received it once against his conscience. After all, the official's list article was very clear: Once someone found that he had falsely claimed or had multiple entries, he would immediately remove his Bingzhou household registration and drive him out of Bingzhou!

In front of the newly opened Zuixian Tower in Wuyuan City, a mother with a little worn clothes was standing in the middle of the crowd waiting to receive the wine.

"Mom, why did General Zhenbei send us the long river to Daqu?" The older boy raised his head and asked the woman.

"Shuang'er, General Zhenbei is the great benefactor of our Wang family. The long river song he gave us can be sold to others, worth three gold, enough for our mother and mother to overcome the current difficulties." The woman caressed the head of the young Wang Shuang lovingly, with her eyes showing her longing for the future and hope.

According to Zhao Xing's idea: the refugees who had just moved to Bingzhou had no savings at their families. After receiving the long river Daqu, most of them would exchange it for money and materials to purchase production materials to lay the foundation for the economic development of the family in the coming year. Many of the original people in Bingzhou have already begun to embark on the road to prosperity, with surplus grain and surplus wealth. The three jars of wine given by the General's Mansion were not enough to drink these farmers when visiting relatives and friends in the first month. What should I do if I don't drink enough wine? Go to Zuixianlou to buy it!

Before the Spring Festival, one million Yuan of the Long River Songs were distributed to the people of Bingzhou, followed by the first month of the assembly. This form of assembly was Zhao Xing who learned from the commodity trade fairs organized by various places in later generations. According to Zhao Xing's requirements, Jinyang, eldest son, Mayi, Wuyuan and other places specially opened places for trading in the city for the people around the city. The people paid the business tax of the government government at a rate of one tenth. The government dispatched a large number of government troops to maintain public order and protect the safety of the people's property. At the same time, various jugglings were organized around the club to promote the liven up.

The people who were suppressed by the Xianbei people some time ago have recently received a gift from General Zhenbei. Everyone's consumption enthusiasm suddenly erupts like a volcano erupts. In all cities with a club, there are traffic and crowds every day. By the 25th day of the first lunar month, when the clubs in various places have ended ten days, a statistical result of the government tax revenue during the club was reported to the General's Mansion. If it is converted into a long river, the total income of five million yuan in the long river.

Zhao Xing looked at Qin Yilu and Liu Jili with a smile, and said proudly: "Do you two know the intention of my gift to the people?"

"The general is full of wisdom and tricks, and he is dull. Please make it clear!" Qin Yilu said humbly with admiration.
