Cao Cao's sons also staged a good show of fighting for the throne, but at that time, Cao Cao was in good health and with Cao Cao's suppression, Cao Cao's sons could not do something very deviant. In addition, the main people who fought for the throne were all born by the same mother, so the battle for the throne at that time was not very tragic.

But now Cao Pi is seriously ill and can no longer be in charge of the ministers, and these foreign relatives are not something ordinary officials can do. So during this year, Yecheng was chaotic by the foreign relatives. Everyone formed gangs and attracted ministers. However, most of the ministers were still waiting and watching.

The Jiangdong side was also calm. Sun Quan realized that Jiangdong was in short supply and was not as good as Wei in the war of attrition. So Jiangdong ordered the Yue people to move out of the mountains and forests and vigorously develop Jiangdong.

Shouchun.

As soon as Zhuge Ke came back from Kuaiji, he ran to Shouchun Palace without stopping to meet Sun Quan.

"Yuan Xun, you just came back. If you don't take a break quickly, why did you come here?"

"Your Majesty, I not only went to Kuaiji this time, but also went deep into the hinterland of Shanyue. On the way back, I came up with a plan and came to report to Your Majesty."

"Yeah, I'll give you a seat, and there are some refreshments. Yuan Xun, you probably haven't eaten yet, so you can talk while eating." Sun Quan said happily.

Speaking of which, Sun Quan really likes Zhuge Ke very much and almost treats Zhuge Ke as his son. There are not many people in this palace who can receive such treatment.

Zhuge Ke took a breath slightly and said, "Your Majesty wants to develop Shanyue and other places and lead Shanyue people out of the mountains and forests. And I also thought of a plan to equalize the fields."

"A plan to equalize the fields?"

"Your Majesty, the southeastern part of the Yangtze River is now sparsely populated, especially the coastal areas and Jiaozhou. However, according to my observation, the climate of those places is warm. Although these places are just wastelands now, if they are good at reclaiming, they will definitely become fertile land. Therefore, I think that after moving the Shanyue people out of the mountains and forests, men over fifteen years old need to reclaim twenty acres of wasteland, and women need to reclaim ten acres of wasteland. After these wastelands are reclaimed into two days, they will be granted the reclaimer to return the land when they are old or dead... In this way, I can produce ten acres of fertile land in Jiangdong!"

"What a plan to equalize the fields!" After hearing this, Sun Quan's eyes glowed.

Today, the places where Shanyue lives are still forests. Although there are many hilly areas in southeast China, the warm climate and abundant water volume are still very suitable for grain cultivation.

A large number of Shanyue people were moved out, so they naturally needed to survive. Generally speaking, these Shanyue people might have to be garrisoners, but Zhuge Jun came up with this method of equalizing the land. Let Shanyue people reclaim wasteland by themselves. These reclamators naturally had to pay taxes to cultivate new land, but after the reclamators died, they had to hand over the land to the state. From any perspective, Sun Quan made a profit.

At the same time, Sun Quan’s fundamental purpose is to develop Jiangnan. As long as the original deep mountains and old forests are turned into fertile fields, people will naturally pour in. This development of Jiangnan is equivalent to half of the success.

News of Sun Quan's implementation of the mutual field quickly reached Chang'an.

After A Dou received the news, he immediately thought of the equal-field system in later generations.

"I'm really stupid. Now Yongzhou is so short of people, there are a lot of wastelands without people. Why did I forget this equal land system? Another year has been wasted!" Adou sighed slightly.
