Wang Yong checked the materials seized this time, and there were a lot of oxen and farmers, not to mention the population. The real problem was food.

If there is insufficient food, even if people are scattered into the counties in Cao Cao's territory, the food will be enough for about two to three months of consumption. If you don't find a solution, the food problem will soon appear and may even affect the cost of military rations.

To be honest, Cao Cao even thought about whether he should learn from Zhu Jun or Huangfu Song and directly cheated the more than 200,000 Yellow Turban thieves. Which of her under her command, and the newly expanded Yuzhou, is not a place for four battles? If the military rations cannot keep up, it will be a dead end!

"How to farm the farm?" Seeing Wang Yong's advice, Cao Cao planned to give him a chance.

"First, the deserted unowned farmland was nationalized, and the Yellow Turban prisoners and the recruited refugees were organized into groups according to the army. The court provided the land, seeds, oxen and farm tools, and they were cultivated and cultivated. The harvest obtained was divided into proportion by the state and the farmers in the military. If it was on the front line, a military farming army could even be formed, both fighting and farming, and the soldiers and farmers could be combined. This part could be directly selected from the Yellow Turban prisoners." Wang Yong suggested.

Originally, Cao Cao also started to farm this year because he captured a large number of Yellow Turban thieves and seized a large amount of grain, plowing tools and oxen. It can be said that in Lao Cao's history of making a fortune, the Yellow Turban thieves really helped a lot. In the early days, there was a lack of soldiers, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban came to his door; the food problem had just happened, and the Runan Yellow Turban came to his door to deliver food to others!

After thinking about it, he added: "In order to avoid the rebellion of the Yellow Turban thieves surrendering and rebelling, several generals should be arranged to serve in other places. At the same time, during the slack season, local governments can organize these military farming tourists, repair roads, repair water conservancy and carry out some basic projects. In contrast, the government must provide them with food, or even a certain salary."

"You can know that since ancient times, the government has collected labor service and the people have brought their own food!" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong.

"This pre-Qin period led to the rebellion between Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and even forced Liu Bang to the side of the rebels. Although the Han Dynasty improved the labor service, it also continued some pre-Qin regulations. The people who were confiscated had no time to farm first and had to bear food. In the end, they would have to become poorer after one turn for labor service. After a few times, they were immediately poor and destitute. They had to sell their land, or even sell their children..." Wang Yong said slowly.

To be honest, corvee is really too operational. Local landlords only need to collude with local governments to force a group of self-cultivated farmers to become proletarians, then annex the sold land and expand the land under their own name.

Over time, land annexation became more and more serious, while the people became poorer and poorer. The wealth was basically gathered in the hands of wealthy business landlords. These guys had no idea of ​​consumption and directly hid the money and saved it. The economy of the entire society was dead.

Others don’t know that since Wang Yong traveled to a world with such an ancient background, he naturally had to put forward opinions on this issue.

"Then why pay wages?" If you say that you pay food is to avoid the people, the more you perform labor service, the poorer you will be. Then there is no need to pay wages, right? In this way, what is the meaning of labor service?!

"Lord, why not think from the perspective of others!" Wang Yong organized the language, "If the people have money and have stable income every year, they have extra money, will they choose to repair their houses, buy farm tools, or even daily necessities?"

"If conditions permit, who doesn't want to live a better life?" Cao Cao agreed with this statement after thinking for a while.

Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain: "When people buy farm tools, the business of blacksmith shops, cloth shops, and even carpenter shops will become better. If the business of blacksmith shops becomes better, more iron ore will be needed, which will drive the sales of iron ore; if the business of cloth shops becomes better, more cloth will be needed, so the income of the people who grow flax will be increased; if the business of carpenter shops becomes better, more wood will be needed...

As the economy in the city improves, people's dietary needs will increase. The result of the increase is that the price of crops will increase, and eventually the income of farmers will also increase. The process of commercial activities will also increase commercial taxes. Finally, when the economy becomes active, the government can also receive more taxes. This part of the increase is even much more than the salary paid to farmers. At the same time, all walks of life have become more prosperous, and a virtuous cycle has gradually formed."

"Wuyou means, don't you support saving money?" Xun Yu saw some clues.

"The essence of money is equivalent, it is just a metal product that cannot fill the stomach and warms the body. Only by circulating them among the people can they promote the development of all walks of life. On the contrary, if they are saved, the entire market will be dead, and prices will gradually increase. In the end, the people can no longer afford to buy the goods they need, and the people in the city can no longer afford what they want, and taxes will gradually decrease..." Wang Yong thought for a while and replied.

"So, in other words..." Xun Yu was in charge of the account, so he naturally knew the situation in recent years. "Taking Dongjun as an example, tax revenue has indeed been sluggish in the past two or three years. At first, he thought it was caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters... Think about it carefully, the sudden increase in prices is probably related to the insufficient reserves of private wealth."

"It's just that this involves the revision of the "Han Law"..." Cao Cao was a little embarrassed.

"It can be tried in Xudu or even Yingchuan County, and then achieve results in two or three years and then gradually promote them!" Wang Yong hurriedly suggested that the pilot model, no matter where it is, will have a great effect.

For example, Zhang Juzheng's reform was to pilot it in Fujian and Guangdong, and then gradually promote it. What policies were there in later generations were also piloted by local governments, and then promoted it nationwide.

"Well, after I go back, I will report to Your Majesty that it will be promoted in Xu County. The military farming system is also good. It takes two or three months to strive for a variety of high-yield crops, which may be able to meet the needs." During this period, Cao Cao was also very advised, especially those suggestions that were obviously considered for her.

Perhaps he was young, his brain was pretty smart and could keep up with the rhythm. In his later years, he had to think about a problem for a long time, and the ministers could not analyze it directly. Of course, this is the original Cao in that world and Cao Meng in this world, and it is said that there are still hundreds of years of adolescence!

Wang Yong even doubted that if the Three Kingdoms in this world follow the normal historical process, would they give him a reward of two hundred years? At that time, how to solve the population problem? It won’t really be a civil war to the destruction of the country, right?!

Fortunately, he traveled to this world and threw himself into Cao Cao. He had to make a fuss and end the war in this world early so that the Chinese nation could turn their attention from civil strife to the north, the west, and even the east and the south as soon as possible.

With the basic strategy set, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has also stopped, so there is no need to waste time here.

However, Xun Yu suggested sending troops south to take advantage of the fact that Runan County is now ravaged by the Yellow Turban thieves, and there are insufficient defenders everywhere, so they directly suppress and subdue them and expand their territory to Runan County.

Cao Cao thought briefly after hearing this, and swept Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun...
