Chapter 301
In Guangzong City, in the hall of the official temple, Guan Yu and Xu Huang were shocked when they heard the news Liu Yu told them after he returned.
"Tanghai County has become a Tanghai direct jurisdiction..."
Xu Huang said with a smack of his lips.
"Including half of Youzhou, several counties..."
After taking a few breaths, his face turned from stiff to happy.
"The county magistrate has directly ascended to the level of a governor!"
"Not only that." The civil servant Chen Qun took over the conversation.
"The governor of the Tanghai direct jurisdiction has much more power than the former governor."
"It is even higher than the governor of the state just announced by the court."
"The governor of the direct jurisdiction is only responsible to the emperor."
"Whether it is officials from other places or ministers in the court, they have no right to ask about anything in the Tanghai direct jurisdiction."
"Hmm!" Guan Yu and Xu Huang understood a little more in Chen Qun's explanation.
But no matter what, the county magistrate was directly promoted to such a high position as the district governor.
Even having some say in the court still shocked the two.
Frontier officials, such words echoed in their minds.
Liu Yu in the lobby asked the two how they did in Guangzong City to collect Yellow Turban captives.
Guan Yu roughly replied that only more than 10,000 people were collected.
The rest, according to Liu Yu's request, had spread the news that Tanghai County had food to eat.
I don't know what will happen next.
Will there be more refugees and displaced people going north to seek refuge?
"Don't worry, there will be." Liu Yu sighed.
"Where else can they go if not to Tanghai County?"
"The world is so big, but there is no place to farm and eat."
"Such a situation is really forced."
"Instead of waiting to die, it is better to go north to Tanghai County to fight."
"If the news is true, then there will be a good life in the future."
"The Han people's dependence on land is deeply engraved in their bones."
"More profound than anything else and truth."
Other commanders nodded one after another.
Liu Yu ordered: "Pass the order, as long as the Yellow Turban captives perform well, they can be spared from death and join the large-scale development movement of the Tanghai Direct Administrative Region."
"As long as they perform well in the actions of opening up wasteland and planting crops, they will have the opportunity to obtain civilian status later."
"In addition, collect the wealth in Guangzong City and return to Tanghai from the north!"
"Yes!" The commanders in the hall responded loudly and then went down to get busy.
More than 10,000 Yellow Turban captives were very excited when they heard the news announced by Liu Yu.
They didn't expect that they wouldn't have to die.
They could also have a chance to obtain civilian status.
Reclaim wasteland and grow crops to eat food!
Is this something they dared to think of before?
Linhai Direct Administrative District Pastor.
Such an official title sounded like thunder in the ears of the Yellow Turban captives.
Such a big man promised something, especially when the other party was the former Tanghai County Magistrate.
Let the Yellow Turban captives firmly believe that that day will come.
Apart from other things, in recent days, although they are captives, they can guarantee a meal of porridge a day.
They have no strength, but it is better than starving before.
Being able to survive and linger is already a luxury for them.
Before the Tanghai commanders ordered the Yellow Turban captives to work, they also gave them a meal of dry rice.
Although it was not much, it gave the Yellow Turban captives strength.
When they started working, the captives rushed to work.
They were scrambling to perform, fearing that they would be driven out by the team and not allowed to follow them north to the Tanghai Direct Administrative Region.
Now, all the captives' thoughts fell on the newly established direct administrative region.
According to Lord Qu Mu, there was a good life waiting for them there.
As long as they worked hard, they could live.
As long as they could eat enough, they would work hard, not to mention working hard!
The morale of the Yellow Turban captives soared, and they worked very hard.
"Food is the first necessity of the people!" Chen Qun looked at the Yellow Turban captives who were working hard to load various materials, and felt a lot of emotion.
"Lord Qu Mu is right. No matter what time it is, food is the most soothing and motivating thing." Zhong Yao nodded in agreement.
The children of the two big families had different feelings when they saw such a scene.
In the past, they considered the interests of their families in everything.
And ignored the great cause.
Under Liu Yu's subtle influence, the two of them paid more and more attention to the lives of ordinary people.
They agreed more and more with what Liu Yu said, that only when ordinary people are strong and everyone is strong can a nation be truly strong.
It is not that only when some aristocratic families are strong can the country and nation be strong.
How can eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned?
The two children of aristocratic families gradually understood that Liu Yu always emphasized the meaning of the country.
Without a country, there is no home.
Liu Yu sent people to release the message again.News.
As long as refugees come to Guangzong City for refuge, the government will give them life-saving food.
One bowl of porridge a day.
Follow them north to the Tanghai Direct Administrative Region to participate in the action of reclaiming wasteland and building the direct administrative region.
If you perform well, you will have food.
The news spread, and many yellow turbans who had escaped from Guangzong City before threw away the yellow cloth wrapped around their heads and turned into refugees.
Return to Guangzong City with their families.
It's almost the same as what Liu Yu said.
These people have nowhere to go.
That is, they hide in the mountains and barely survive by hunting and digging wild vegetables.
But that kind of unstable life, coupled with the attacks of wild beasts and mosquitoes in the mountains, people keep dying.
It makes the yellow turban captives want to return to Guangzong City to fight.
Some of those who went out to spread the news were men in the former yellow turban team.
Those people are still alive and kicking and have not been executed.
After all, the news can't be false, right?
Liu Yu ordered the team to wait for a few days in Guangzong City.
After gathering more than 20,000 "refugees", they set off to the north.
The food stored in Guangzong City was enough for these refugees to eat porridge on the road.
Although the food was even enough for those refugees to eat dry rice.
But Liu Yu still gave them porridge.
This made Zhong Yao a little confused.
Liu Yu's explanation made him completely convinced.
People's hearts.
If they were fed too well at the beginning, they would ask for more in the future.
Only gradual improvement is the best.
Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others.
The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the population under control is getting bigger and bigger.
More shrewd means of controlling people are needed.
Only then can there be no problems internally.
...
Guangzong City, Zhao Yun led the team to it, but found that the city had become an empty city.
"We are late."
Riding on a white horse and looking north, he gave the order without hesitation: "Keep going north, straight to Tanghai County."
A team of eight people drove the war horses and galloped north.
...
In the wilderness, Huang Zhong and his family walked north.
When leaving Jingzhou, Huang Zhong spent the last bit of silver to buy a deer cart.
Pushing some cooking tools and his son who was in poor health, he headed north.
Along the way, Huang Zhong and his wife dug wild vegetables, set traps to catch wild animals, and tried their best to maintain their rations.
It was the first time for Huang Xu to go far away.
He was originally in poor health, but because of happiness, he became a little stronger.
In the eyes of Huang Zhong and his wife, they were very excited.
