Chapter 319
Scholars came to vote one after another, whether it was Zhuge Jin, Xun Yu, Chen Deng and others, the first reaction was not that there were newcomers coming to grab their seats.

As the most outstanding group of scholars, they can be said to be quite keen on controlling the current situation.

The positions of the three of them had already been stabilized since they first took refuge in Yuan Tan.

Unless he is a truly peerless talent, the situation of the three carriages in Yuan Tan's internal affairs will never be easily changed.

Even if they are really talented, they will still be suppressed by them due to the limitation of qualifications.

the reason is simple.

Many of Yuan Tan's ideas and concepts are different from the existing systems in the Han Dynasty, whether it is the emergence of water hammer transfer cars, or compost processing stations, etc.

Including the special army that has just emerged in some prototypes, but Xun Yu and others have not really realized what this production and construction army is.

It all means that if a newcomer wants to integrate into the military and political group of Xuzhou, he will not have a few years of hard work, and it is impossible to do so.

It is a talent of the sky, it also needs a long period of running-in.

On the contrary, on this basis, there are still a large number of scholars from the Central Plains who are willing to invest in Yuan Tan's account.

It also means that the hegemony and prestige of the Yuan family in Hebei has grown to a very high level.

Even if they knew that investing in Xuzhou now would probably require them to sit on the bench for several years, those scholars would be happy with it.

It cannot be said that all people belong to each other, but it is real to say that people's hearts are attached.

Xun Yu, Chen Deng, and Zhuge Jin are not fools. After seeing this scene, they thought further.

There is also more motivation to do things.

As long as people have the seven emotions and six desires, everyone will think about Conglongzhigong.

Three people will not have too many exceptions.

Where Yuan Tan, and the Yuan family behind Yuan Tan can go, is also closely related to their future.

And a large number of scholars entered the Qihou Mansion in Xuzhou, which also greatly made up for the re-establishment of the official system.

The three major government agencies, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel, have vacancies at the grassroots level.

To put it bluntly, if there is no such wave of scholars to vote, Zhuge Jin alone will handle those affairs.

Even if Zhuge Jin had three heads, he wouldn't be able to finish it.

"The 1 hectares of land that have been abandoned for a year have almost been screened, and the corresponding reclamation work has been arranged one after another."

Zhuge Jin slowed down for a moment, allowing Yuan Tan time to look through the documents, and then continued:
"According to Junhou's order, each household will divide [-] mu of land. At present, it has divided about [-] hectares. Before and after Qingming, there should be [-] hectares of land that can be used for spring planting."

Thirty thousand hectares of land is already quite good.

Although there is a gap between the [-] hectares of land in Yuan Tan's plan, Yuan Tan has now traveled around the counties of Xuzhou and checked the situation on the spot.

Even though I was still a little unwilling, I had to admit it.

Xuzhou right now is a fucking mess.

The registered population of the six counties does not exceed 30 people. In other words, the number of refugees he recruited this time is almost twice as many as the aborigines in Xuzhou.

Damn it...who can I talk to to reason with you?

The frequent wars at the end of the Han Dynasty caused huge damage to the consumption of people's power in the Central Plains, which can be seen in Xuzhou alone.

Not to mention the situation of Xu Du and Chen Liu.

The flames of war that have been endured there are much more than those here in Xuzhou.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Tan said:

"In short, in the next year, Xuzhou's main strategy will still be to encourage production, and Quyuanli will speed up the implementation. I will write a letter to the prime minister for the lack of cattle and horses."

Previously, Daddy Cheap had already ordered a border market to be launched on the border of Youyan and the grassland aliens.

And in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Yongzhou, several horse farms have been opened successively.

There is no shortage of war horses. Similarly, it is naturally impossible for every horse produced in a horse farm to be suitable for use as a war horse.

"Xun Langzhong, before I left Zhoucheng, I asked Xun Langzhong to write a letter to the prime minister, talking about the purchase of rough horses in Xuzhou for farming. I don't know how it has been implemented?"

Yuan Tan turned his gaze to Xun Yu.

Every state and county lacks such things as farm cattle. It is definitely too late to raise farm cattle now, so we can only count on the border to buy them from alien races on the grassland.

In addition, those poor horses that are not suitable for war horses are put on plows.

Although it is definitely not enough compared to farming cattle, it is better than relying on manpower to be efficient.

Xun Yu also knew that agriculture must be the first priority in everything in Xuzhou right now, so naturally he did not dare to take this lightly.

In charge of the Ministry of Rites, he was not only responsible for negotiating with external princes, but also for communicating internally with Hebei.

Seeing Yuan Tan turn his gaze to him, Xun Yu naturally didn't dare to neglect, cupped his hands and said:
"Yan Gong has already received a reply. Before the middle of the month, three thousand poor horses will arrive."

Three thousand horses... This number is not small, but Yuan Tan still feels that it is not enough.

Raw horses are mostly kept in the hands of those merchants, after all, there are a lot of nasty horses in the caravan to transfer goods.

When it comes to merchants in Hebei, of course they cannot escape the Zhen family.

Yuan Tan who accepted Zhen Mi, as his status rose, the Zhen family also benefited accordingly, and it was time for them to make some repayments.

"Please send another letter from Langzhong Xun and send it to the Zhen family, asking them to raise another two thousand poor horses."

After estimating the financial resources of the Zhen family, Yuan Tan gave a relatively reasonable figure.

Two thousand horses are just within the acceptable range for the Zhen family. They are the kind that cause some physical pain but will not damage the muscles and bones.

Xun Yu nodded and wrote down the matter.

Yuan Tan looked at Chen Deng again:
"Chen Langzhong, after the horses arrive, you will be responsible for monitoring the distribution of the officials. The distribution of the people in the six counties of Xuzhou is different. In some places with a lot of rich households, there is no need to deploy too many official horses. After all, they have their own cattle. Counties and counties where refugees gather can allocate more official horses for the convenience of the people."

Chen Deng clasped his fists knowingly, these are all due meanings, he advocated that the Ministry of Officials should be responsible for supervision.

But the real distribution work still has to fall into the hands of Zhuge Jin.

Yuan Tan specifically told Chen Deng that he was mainly worried that the scumbags he brought in would end up taking advantage of the aristocratic and wealthy families.

With Chen Deng, the blood-stained butcher's knife, at least it can make those aristocratic families fearful when they stretch out their hands.

Five thousand poor horses arrived in Xuzhou, and the efficiency of reclamation should be able to improve a little bit.

But Yuan Tan doesn't expect to be able to reclaim more wasteland at this moment.

The dilapidated scene in the six counties of Xuzhou has made him realize that 50 refugees should be an upper limit.

This is still because he took advantage of the Taishan bandits, otherwise, it is estimated that 20 refugees could be recruited, which is already a pretty good number.

Over the past ten years of wars, too many people have died in the flames of war.

The same is true for refugees. This moment is different from the time when the Yellow Turban Rebellion just started and refugees were everywhere.

After more than ten years of fighting, more than [-]% of the displaced population either died of hunger or cold, or were conscripted as soldiers and then died on the battlefield.

Yuan Tan sighed uncontrollably, and kept these sympathies in his heart.After waving his hand to indicate that everyone can end the meeting, he got up first and turned back to the inner house.
