Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Cao Shuo walked all the way from Liaodong County to Feiru County in Liaoxi County, and stopped here.

The plump guard Xu Huang asked sadly, "Your Majesty, can you relocate some people to Youzhou? There is no one planting a large area of ​​land here, so it would be a waste."

Liaoxi County has been infested by Xianbei and Wuhuan all year round. Most of the people have moved to Liaodong County or Guangyang County. The population of the entire Liaoxi County is less than 3 people, not as many as soldiers.

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Youzhou is still not stable enough to provide them with a stable life. Many of them are unwilling to move here, and the cold in the north makes ordinary people unbearable."

Xun Chen said: "Compared with the south, the yearly grain output in the north is less than [-]%. The people living here are people whose ancestors have been here for generations, and their families don't have much money to support them to move to the south."

Cao Shuo was very upset. If this matter was not resolved, the soldiers guarding here in the future would definitely complain in their hearts. It would be difficult for them to marry a daughter-in-law. How could they guarantee their loyalty.

Cao Shuo suddenly remembered what the later generations would do, and said, "I have an idea, let's see if it fits."

"Your Majesty, I ask for instructions!" Everyone looked at Cao Shuo expectantly.

In their hearts, Cao Shuo's thinking is much more open than theirs, maybe he can think of a solution to the problem of the sparse population in the north.

"We can encourage them to have more children, reward each child with ten acres of land, and exempt them from tax for five years."

"This……"

Everyone was terrified. Wouldn't they have to collect a lot less tax in this way?
Cao Shuo said again: "Although our college has expanded in Jizhou, there is no college here yet. We can let the Imperial Academy operate and start to build a college in Youzhou, so that their education problems can be solved in time."

Liu Ye was puzzled and said, "My lord, how do we get the money, food and taxes for our army?"

Cao Shuo explained: "The goods sold by the Zhen's Chamber of Commerce are enough for the army and the imperial court. There is no need to increase the burden on the farmers, but we need to set a condition for them. The surplus food must be sold to the local government. Selling food privately."

Food is the guarantee for the survival of the army, and certain people must not be allowed to control food.

The grain is sold to the government, and if you want to buy grain, you have to buy it through the government, so that some people in the province will raise the price of grain privately.

Xun Chen agreed, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea."

Liu Ye looked at Cao Shuo in surprise. It was the first time he had heard that grain was more useful than money in wartime for princes who did not need to collect grain. Cao Shuo was so rich that he could use money to buy grain.

Cao Shuo was affirmed by all the ministers, so he promulgated a decree in Youzhou, giving birth to a child, rewarding ten acres of land, and reducing taxes for five years.

All the people in Youzhou rejoiced and thanked Cao Shuo for his generosity. It was their honor to meet such a lord.

Cao Shuo led the ministers to a certain hill in Lulongguan, looked at the grassland outside the Great Wall and said: "After the north of the Yellow River is stabilized, I will personally lead the army to conquer Xianbei outside the Great Wall, and let them know that the Han people are no longer that The age of being slaughtered."

All the civil and military men fell to their knees and said, "I will assist the lord to complete the hegemony!"

"Looking at the scenery beyond the Great Wall, I suddenly became interested and wanted to write a poem!"

The generals looked at Cao Shuo expectantly. Many of them knew that Cao Shuo wrote nearly a thousand poems in one day.

"Changyun dark snow mountain in Qinghai, the lonely city looks at Lulong Pass in the distance, the yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Xianbei will never be returned if it is not broken."

"Nice poem!"

All the ministers applauded, Xianbei will not be eradicated, and the Han people will never be peaceful. Only by eradicating the great trouble in the north can Youzhou be full of vitality.

Liu Ye said: "The Xiongnu in Xianbei has always been a major problem in the Central Plains. Now the Xiongnu have survived in name only. If Xianbei is removed, then the north of the Yellow River will not be much worse than the Yangtze River."

Xu Huang said with a smile: "After the king settles down the world, I will raise cattle and horses outside the Great Wall, and spend my whole life."

Cao Shuo gave him an annoyed look and said, "Then you have to be mentally prepared. Every three to fifty years, you may not be able to retire."

Xun Chen said meaningfully: "If Gongming can give birth to more fierce generals like you, maybe the king will see you for your hard work and training pillars for Wei, so you may not be allowed to leave the field early."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed heartily, and wanted to retire as soon as possible, Xun Chen's suggestion was indeed good, to have a few more children, and then leave them to take care of them.

Cao Shuo looked at Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, before Xianbei invades, prepare more wood. After we invade Xianbei, we will build a city on the grassland of Xianbei, and wood must be indispensable."

"The last general immediately ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees."

Cao Shuo also said: "It's okay to cut down trees, but you must not cut them down randomly. After cutting down, plant new saplings inside. There is a lot of sand and dust in the north. The desert must not be expanded due to war."

Xun Chen asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty, what does the expansion of the desert have to do with the felling of trees?"

"The reduction of vegetation will cause water and soil erosion and land desertification. Trees can play a good role in windbreak and sand fixation."

Everyone was confused, what is vegetation?What is soil erosion, land desertification, and what is windbreak and sand fixation?

It took Cao Shuo a lot of effort to explain clearly to them.

"My lord is well-informed, and I can't catch up with you."
