Chapter 65 Conflict
What Xun Yu said was right, farming farmland is easy to say, but difficult to put into practice. After all, those rich and famous families are all eyeing the unowned land. Who doesn't want to earn more?
It is true that you, Liu Xiao, are the governor of Qingzhou, and you are in control of the power, but don't cut off our money, and people's money, like killing your parents...

Not to mention Kong Rong in Beihai, Liu Xiao left the [-] elite cavalry led by Gao Chong in Beihai County, just to let this god of killing deter Xiaoxiao, and without Dian Wei, Gao Chong is the one who can scare people the most. He kills people like crazy, and the young man never blinks an eye when he kills people.

Liu Xiao took the people all the way back to Qingzhou and resettled the refugees temporarily.

"Wen Ruo, I'll leave it to you to clean up and measure the land. In addition, there is also a strategy for farming. We must come up with it as soon as possible. Work harder, time will not wait!"

Liu Xiao said in a deep voice.

Xun Yu nodded and said, "My lord, don't worry, I will leave this matter to Xun Yu."

Liu Xiao looked at Tai Shici, and then said: "Ziyi, during this time, you don't need to be involved in military affairs, lead five hundred elites, assist Mr. Wen Ruo in clearing the land, and protect Mr. Wen Ruo's safety. You guys, it’s absolutely necessary to make trouble for us.”

Taishi Ci bowed and agreed, then turned around and went down to prepare.

In the next half month, Xun Yu led people to start a large-scale land clearing on the territory of Qi County. Because of the chaos caused by the Yellow Turban Army, the owners of many lands did not know where they went, and there were even many A large family, the entire family was destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army, and a large amount of land was left unused.

The rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army dealt a heavy blow to the rule of the imperial court, but it also brought huge damage to the people. There is no chicken crowing for thousands of miles. This is not an exaggeration in the poet's pen, but a true portrayal.

Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, Qingzhou had a population of millions. Over the past ten years, the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused the population of Qingzhou to drop sharply. Now, it is less than half of the original population. The whole Qingzhou still has a population of 200 million. As a result of including the rebellious party, one can imagine how much land was left uncultivated and abandoned in the past ten years.

Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land were abandoned, and the tyrants in Qingzhou were naturally envious. At this time, whoever snatched these lands would belong to them!Once you grab it, you only need to report it to the government, and it will be yours.

However, suddenly the imperial court sent a new governor to start cleaning up the unclaimed land, and wanted to take all the unowned land back to the imperial court. Wouldn't that be a grab for the rice bowl of the noble family?
Not only the local noble families, but also the royal family in Qi County, Qi Wang Liu Cheng, although Qi Wang does not have much power in his hands and does not directly control the appointment of officials and the military, but after all, he is the prince of the country and has a respected status. This is the real clan of the Han family. Compared with Liu Xiao in Hejian and Liu Yu in Youzhou, these royal families not only enjoy the taxes of a county, but also wantonly embezzle land in the local area. Could it be that the common people dare to talk to the prince if they have nothing to do? challenge?
If other counties and counties each have their own prestige and power, then Qi County, that is, Qi State, the biggest power is Qi Wang Liu Cheng, who owns at least hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Even more were embezzled.

Now that Xun Yu is cleaning up the land in Qi County, the one who suffers the most is this Qi Wang Liu Cheng!
Xun Yu cleared the land directly, and the rest of the Han clan landlords naturally did not dare to resist the government's decree, but King Qi was different, naturally he was unwilling to hand over the land in his hands and the land he was about to grab.

In order to protect the land he had obtained, King Qi even sent out private guards from the palace to directly protect the land, and even directly clashed with Xun Yu's people!

"That's it? Is there anything else?"

Xun Yu asked calmly.

The clerk on the side cried, "Sir, are these not enough? The people we sent were all beaten back by them. The people in Prince Qi's mansion are too domineering..."

"You go down first, I will deal with it myself, please come over to General Ziyi..."

Not long after, Tai Shici came to Xun Yu's residence.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, what are your orders?"

Tai Shici bowed and asked.

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "As for the matter of clearing up the land, the people sent out to clear up the land happened to encounter the land occupied by the King of Qi. In the eastern suburbs of Qi County, there are [-] acres of fertile land without an owner. We want to take it back. As a result, the king of Qi refused to let it go, and sent someone to call back the scribes who cleared the land..."

Tai Shici was startled, and asked, "What happened? Does my lord know?"

Xun Yu shook his head and replied: "Even if the lord is involved in this matter, it is not easy to come forward. After all, he is a relative of the Han family, and he is of the same line, and he is still a vassal king with a high status. I mean, there is no need to tell the lord. , directly in the name of the Prime Minister of Qi, to forcibly take back the land, and you immediately lead an elite team to the eastern suburbs, if someone dares to stop you and take them all, do you dare to do these things?"

Tai Shici smiled and said: "Mr. Wen Ruo, you are not afraid. How can I be afraid of a martial artist? My lord has said that my task is to escort you. If there are troublemakers, just take them down. Don't worry about the king of Qi and Zhao Wang. If you are obedient, then just deal with him directly. You must know that the court has laws and regulations. The king of Qi enjoys the taxation of a country, but he cannot interfere with the government's government orders, he is not allowed to support private soldiers, and he is not allowed to form cliques. If he dares to cause trouble, let his head be sacrificed to the flag!"

"Ha ha……"

Xun Yu laughed loudly and said, "Sacrifice the flag? Well, Taishi Ziyi deserves to be courageous, no wonder my lord admires you so much! However, it's not enough just to force it, you come here..."

Taishi Ci hurriedly lay down, Xun Yu whispered a few words, and laughed: "Go, I want to see how King Qi responds!"

Tai Shici's face darkened, and he said in a muffled voice: "Sir, when dealing with people like you, you have to be more careful, even if you are sleeping, you have to keep one eye open, otherwise you won't know how to die..."

Tai Shici walked out with his hands in his hands, assembled his troops, and headed straight for the eastern suburbs.

Xun Yu shook his head, put down his writing brush, and rushed straight to the Governor's Mansion. Half a month passed quickly. It is not impossible to become the most affluent place in the north, even surpassing Jizhou!

"My lord, this is the farm strategy I have drafted. It has been completed. Please take a look at it, lord!"

Xun Yu presented Fang Lue to Liu Xiao, and said in a deep voice.

"Um……"

Liu Xiao opened the farm plan, watched it carefully, and asked, "I heard that when the land was cleared, there was a conflict with King Qi?"
