Yuan Zhi, please tell me." Chen Mo looked at Xu Shu with a smile.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "It is said to be a strategy, but in fact it is just a strategy to divert disaster to the east. My lord, do you still remember the Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui?"

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded. When the princes challenged Dong, these two people also joined the alliance, but they did not contribute any force. However, Dong Zhuo withdrew to Chang'an at that time, and it was indeed because of these two people.

"My lord can go to the court and recommend these two people to be governors or governors, and at the same time secretly send people to contact Ma Teng, so that Han Sui can join forces to seize power from Li Jue and Guo Si." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Yes, no matter whether the court agrees with the lord's recommendation or not, and whether the two of them are willing to join forces with the lord, as long as the lord comes forward, Li Jue and Guo Si will definitely worry about the lord joining forces with them, and then the Xiliang army in their hands will not dare to

Move lightly." Man Chong stroked his hands and said with a smile.

Nowadays, people like Li Jue seem to be powerful, holding 200,000 Xiliang troops. However, some of these Xiliang troops are controlled by Xu Rong and Hua Xiong. Each of them occupies a county, which means they are self-reliant. Within Chang'an, Li

Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji may not all be of the same mind. As long as Chen Mo makes them freeze, he can gradually bribe or cannibalize these Xiliang troops secretly.

This is also Chen Mo's plan. He is still weak now. If he takes control of Guanzhong at this time, even if he can take advantage of the Xiliang army's internal fighting and take the opportunity to seize Guanzhong, it will be difficult to sit firmly. What's more, there are Qiang and Han people in the direction of Xiliang.

Then, Ma Teng and so on, so Chen Mo has been gathering the refugees to accumulate strength.

This time, Li Jue and Guo Si sent Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to lead their troops to Xinfeng, intending to expel Chen Mo and come to plunder. However, since Chen Mo had already captured Hongnong and collected a large number of people, he naturally could not let these people go anymore.

Suffering from military disasters, these Xiliang generals were good at fighting, but their governance was a mess. Even if they continued to use the methods they had dedicated to Dong Zhuo, they would not be without food.

Xu Shu's plan was similar to what Chen Mo thought, but Chen Mo didn't say it out loud. Sometimes the master was too comprehensive and would undermine his subordinates' self-confidence. It was good to know in your heart, there was no need to compete with his subordinates for work.

"I will write a memorial as soon as possible to contact Ma Teng and Han Sui..." Chen Mo looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile.

"I would like to help you!" Xu Shu bowed and said.

"In addition, my military order was passed, and Wu Yi was ordered to be the commander of the Xiaoqi School and lead eight thousand troops to station in Huayin." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

"Here!"

…

Luoyang has regained some vitality as Chen Mo began to move residents here last year. The spring is cold and the spring plowing has not yet arrived. Zhong Yun followed Chen Mo's method of using work as a substitute for prosperity and recruited manpower to repair some villages. At present, the land of Heluo

The most important thing is to resume farming, so the city does not need to be repaired extensively.

On this day, a young man came to Chenggao with several followers guarding a carriage. Chen Mo said that although Chenggao and other places sent troops to garrison, they did not completely cut off all contacts with the Central Plains. Merchant merchants could still come and go.

It is common, but a bit more stringent. Especially if you want to leave the customs and go to the Central Plains, you must have a transfer document issued by the local government office. This is not possible for those from the countryside. As for those coming from the Central Plains, it is much simpler. You only need to do

You can pass the level with just one record, whether it's easy to get in or difficult to get out.

The group of people walked unhappily, but after passing Chenggao, they found that the atmosphere had changed. Everywhere in the villages they passed, people were repairing houses, and some were loosening the soil. Although it seemed chaotic at first glance, upon closer inspection, it was orderly.

"Boss, didn't you say that all the people in Heluo were moved away? There are quite a few of them." A subordinate spoke with a northern accent and said to the young man who led him.

"Last year Dong Zhuo was assassinated, the Xiliang army rebelled, and there was chaos in Guanzhong. It must have been the people there." The young man looked at the busy figures around him, and saw that it was less dilapidated, giving people a sense of prosperity.

"There are people coming over there. Why, a village wants to check us out?" Several subordinates looked at the people hurriedly running this way in the distance, raised their brows, and each touched their own weapons. The Central Plains was in chaos.

Along the way, they were often exploited.

"Don't mess around, this is Heluo." The young man waved his hand and rode up to meet him.

"Are you guys going to settle here?" A decent-looking middle-aged man asked with a smile and cupped his hands in front of everyone.

"What do you mean, father-in-law?" the young man asked doubtfully.

"You don't know? Where do you come from?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Qingzhou." The young man dismounted and said.

"Qingzhou is great. I heard that this Zhou Mu also stayed in Qingzhou for a while." Li Zheng said with a smile: "We are all from the same hometown. Judging from your appearance, you are all strong. Now Zhou Mu has a lot of benefits.

As a policy of the people, if you are willing to settle here, you will not only be exempted from half of this year's taxes, but also be allocated a part of the land, divided according to households, directly under the government's control, without paying additional taxes. In addition to not being able to buy or sell,

That’s yours, how about it?”

"Is there such a good thing? Is there enough farmland in the land of Heluo?" A follower couldn't help but ask.

"You don't know, this land in Luoyang is ownerless. Dong Zhuo killed many aristocratic families in Luoyang. Later, the people here moved to Guanzhong, so naturally no one took care of the land. Those who went to Guanzhong at the beginning

The rich households were almost wiped out. Most of the cultivated fields in Luoyang were now ownerless. The state pastor was kind and took these cultivated fields back to the government, and then rented them to the people. They used taxes as taxes and only collected them once.

, as long as you settle down, the harvest will only be 15% in the first year, and in the future, it will only be 30% at most. In addition, the farm cattle of the government office can also be used. If you have one here, the men can get one more acre, and the women can get one more acre.

You can get half an acre more, everyone, our area is pretty good, and it is the closest to Chenggao, and there are people from all over the place."

"You don't all have the same surname here?" the young man asked doubtfully.

Before the world was in chaos, most places had one surname per li. For example, Zhuangzi, where Chen Mo lived when he was young, had various surnames. This was gradually formed by the gathering of refugees, and there were not many of them at that time.

"Of course not. In the land of Heluo in Guanzhong, there are not many people with the same surname in that area." Li Zheng shook his head, and then looked at everyone expectantly and said: "How about it? Everyone, you will not suffer a disadvantage if you settle here.

If you can have children, there will be tax exemptions."

"Old man, I'm going to Hedong to visit my old friend. I'm sorry to have to obey my order." The young man got on his horse, clasped his fists at Li Zheng and said with a smile.

Li Zheng nodded with a disappointed look on his face, watching the other party's carriage and horses starting off again, he couldn't help shouting: "If you want to settle down, the state capital now takes good care of Luoyang, and it would be great to settle down here!"

"Thank you for telling me." The young man waved his hand on the horse without looking back.

"Boss, this is a good place!" A guard rode forward, came to the young man's side and smiled: "If I didn't want to follow you to find wealth and wealth, I really couldn't help but want to settle here."

"Why do real men worry about being homeless? After we have established a successful career, where can we not find a home?" There was a bit of pride on the young man's handsome face.

It's easy to get into Heluo, but it's a bit troublesome to go east of Hedong. It's not that someone is making things difficult, but the villages encountered along the way are too enthusiastic, and everyone wants them to join their hometown.

Some of them even included women, and several of the subordinates couldn't help but want to stay.

When they arrived at Luoyang, everyone had to stop. If they wanted to go forward again, they got the yamen office to change the criminal documents. The criminal documents from various places in the Central Plains could be used in Chenggao, but they could not be used after Luoyang.

Moreover, if you pass Chenggao, you only need to record it, but in Luoyang, you have to check carefully.

"Where are you from?" In the noisy Household Registration Office, it was finally the group's turn to record. The clerk in charge asked with a numb face.

"A person from Huang County, Donglai County, Qingzhou." The young man said helplessly. He had just seen everyone's process and found it a bit cumbersome, but there was nothing he could do.

"What's your name?"

"Tai Shi Ci."

"Why are you here?"

"Visiting old friends."

"Who is my old friend? Where do you live now?"

"..." Taishi Ci didn't know how to answer.

"Huh?" The scribe raised his head, looked at Taishi Ci and said, "Why don't you tell me?"

"My name is Chen Mo, he should be in Anyi, Hedong Province now." Tai Shici felt a little dry in the mouth.

"Chen Mo... Hedong... An..." The clerk was reading while writing, but at the end of the writing, his movements suddenly froze. He slowly raised his head, looked at Taishi Ci and said, "The Chen Mo you are talking about is..."

"Now it should be Bingzhou Mu and Changling Marquis." Tai Shici nodded.

"Wait a moment!" The scribe stood up, took a careful look at Tai Shici, turned around and left. Chen Mo's old friend, whether he was an old friend or not, it was not his turn to take care of this matter.

There were many people around who were staring at the registration. When the clerk suddenly ran away, they shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, why did you just leave? I haven't recorded it yet!"

"Boss, what should we do now?" Several subordinates looked at Taishi Ci.

"Wait." Taishi Ci shook his head, helped his mother aside and sat down, saying, "Mother, my old friend has some status now, and I should be able to see him soon."

"It's okay. I know something for my mother. Even in Luoyang these years, the envoy never forgot to ask someone to come and take care of me. My son must not be rude."

"How could it be?" Taishi Ci shook his head and said with a smile, "The child is unfilial. He has been alone away from home all these years and has not been able to fulfill his filial piety. Unfortunately, when he received the letter from his wedding, it was already several months later and he could not come."

Half an hour later, the scribe hurried back and brought someone with him. The person who came was quite dignified. He swept around the crowd and came straight to Tai Shici and his party. He bowed slightly and said: "At the next bell.

Yun, but you claim to be my lord’s old friend?”

"That's right." Tai Shici nodded and said, "How did you know it was me?"

"Those who can have friendship with our Lord must be extraordinary." Zhong Yun said with a smile.

"I'm Tai Shici from Donglai, I don't know Mr. Zhong..." Tai Shici said with a bow.

"I have heard that the archery skills are extraordinary. My lord has mentioned it more than once." Zhong Yun said with a smile: "I am busy with secular affairs and it is difficult to get away. If Brother Taishi is willing, I can arrange for someone to send Brother Taishi to Hedong to meet the lord."
