Chapter 1021 Grain and Field

"Learn from the method of screening?" Chen Zhi knew what he meant when he heard this, but he said deliberately, "If this refugee, if the refugee comes, it cannot be screened for them. First, it is unnecessary, and second, it cannot organize so many people. Besides, many of the refugees are illiterate at all. How to screen them?"

"The general is asking questions knowingly, and he wants to compare me," Sun Xiu laughed and pointed out directly, "The method of reference and screening mentioned below does not mean screening for every migrant person, but rather refers to the pattern of gaining fame after the screening method is implemented, and also creates a scene where the refugees actively come to vote."

Chen Zhi refused to comment and said casually: "Listen to Mr. Sun's meaning, it seems to be quite familiar with the impact of screening method."

Sun Xiu had been waiting for this long ago. He smiled and slapped the feather fan, and said, "The method of screening is very wonderful. It can be seen that the general has not yet perfected it, leaving a lot of room for him. Even so, it has already reflected enough value and significance, attracting many poor children to join him, making the officials under the general's mansion more motivated because they can see the future path to promotion."

While speaking, he pointed outside the door: "For example, Wang Gou, who was just now, had no chance to stand out if he was in the court, even in Wang Jun's army, he would have a rare future. Perhaps it was a way to join the Hu people, but there was a great risk. Not to mention the exclusion of the Hu people from the Han family, the situation on the grassland changed rapidly, and it was hard to say whether he could survive tomorrow. In contrast, under the rule of the general, as long as he was innocent and could pass the screening method, he could be an official, hold power, and show his strengths. How clear is it!"

Sun Xiu couldn't help but feel a little excited. His life experience cannot be said to be a high-ranking family, so he naturally empathized with it: "Because of this, the method of screening was only slightly spread, and the poor scholars smelled it. Over the years, many have come to join us. This is because of the reputation effect, which attracts corresponding people. They can imitate them in the face of refugees and lure them with fame. It is better than plundering and winning the hearts of the people."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy for people from poor families. They have learned a lot of skills and have nowhere to use them. All they want is just a background. Unfortunately, what can satisfy this idea?"

Chen Zhi nodded, not mentioning screening or poor families, but said: "Mr. Sun means that he should follow the method of screening to attract poor families, and also create some reputation and attract those refugees. In his opinion, what kind of reputation can attract them? Or, what system should be established so that things can generate reputation?"

Sun Xiu said without hesitation: "Only grain and field!"

Chen Zhi signaled the person to continue talking.

Sun Xiu said: "If the refugees escape from their ancestral land, they are nothing more than being able to survive. They seek a way out, but the root is on the land. Without farming land, there will be no grain output. So where can there be stuttering, the refugees will run to them. If they want the refugees to stay and become good people, and all households are all registered, they need land for them to farm. As long as they have the reputation of these two aspects, the refugees will not be afraid of the long journey, difficulties and obstacles, nor will they be afraid of the reputation of the bitter and cold Youzhou, and come thousands of miles away!"

"Grain and field, this is the case." Chen Zhi had such thoughts, but he lacked a man to implement them. Seeing that Sun Xiu could see the problem thoroughly, he had a thought when he moved his mind, but he did not show it, but asked Sun Xiu's suggestions.

Sun Xiu said: "The general has made a decision, why bother to show his bad intentions? When I came, I heard people talk about the farming method of Dai County. Not only was there a unique book guide like "Qimin Yaoshu" written by the general, but it was more strictly enforced by the law of using the field and the law of zodiac. What was even more amazing was the newly introduced sweet potato. Although this thing is afraid of wet, it is easy to live and easy to plant. Although it has a poor taste, it can be swallowed to help refugees. It is best!"

"I strictly prohibit the leakage of sweet potatoes. I didn't expect you to know. It seems that I was very careful." Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, but there was a cold and harsh atmosphere.

Even though Sun Xiu had already said and planned, he was still feeling cold behind his back. He thought that the majesty of the General of the North was even better than that of the royal princes. As expected, he was indeed a powerful lord who could conquer Youzhou and dominate the North!

This also strengthened his thoughts. When Sun Xiu held his fists and bowed, he immediately knelt down and said in a sincere tone: "This matter is indeed a secret. Because I like to decipher things, I pay attention to them. I followed the clues and found out that I should not report them, but I did not want to hide them. As a hero who was rare in a century, the general was determined to work hard. After knowing the incident of sweet potatoes, he thought about the key points and the method of promotion..."

Seeing that Sun Xiu was about to explain, Chen Zhi waved his hand and skipped it directly, just asked: "Sweet potatoes originally mean to expand production, but there are still flaws. Therefore, they want to find a piece of land to improve it. Try it. Now there are many gains. With the method of keeping it in storage, it will not be concealed after a large number of planting next year. People around them will even come to steal and go back to plant. You said that you can use this thing to raise your reputation and attract refugees, which may not last long."

Sun Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that Chen Zhi had agreed to what he asked, so he immediately changed his name and said, "What the lord said is very true. The key is that in the past few years, he will spread his reputation as a wise man in one year and accept refugees for three years, and he will accumulate enough strength and also have a farming system..."

Next, this religious figure, a strategist in the history of chaos, explained his views on agricultural reform and development, which was quite insightful.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is very useful, and it is limited to farming. It's a bit stingy. Besides, there are many wealthy families in Youzhou, many clan families, and there are many tenant farmers under his command. It's not easy to let them promote new crops..."

"The other thing that my subordinates want to say in this matter," Sun Xiu smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth. "First use wasteland to resettle refugees and do government affairs; first use refugees as government tenants, planting and borrowing cattle, collecting grain as rent. When the time is ripe, the general will force the great clan to open up the tenants, as the Dai County does. However, the Youzhou tribe is different from the Dai County tribe, and there is also the Lu family. If the Zu family is deeply rooted, they will refuse to submit. They will have an excuse to do military affairs and make decisions in one fell swoop. Then the new law can be implemented without any obstacles."

As soon as this said, Chen Zhi suddenly fell silent, looked at Sun Xiu, narrowed his eyes and said, "The big clan is the foundation of the local area. Shi Le occupied Jizhou. As the Jie people, he still had to give in to the help of scholars from the aristocratic families. How could I go against the way?"
