Just when Qin Bin and the cabinet bosses had a headache for too little labor and issued policies to encourage childbirth, because of the winter, the natural disasters in the Central Plains finally subsided.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and the others were also relieved because they slowly settled down within the government.

But the price of this stability is too great.

At this time, the population of Yanzhou and Yuzhou was greatly reduced, and what made Yuan Shao and others feel even more complicated was that not all of these large-scale population reductions died from natural disasters, but more to their enemies.

Yanzhou originally had a population of nearly four million, but because Yanzhou was the hardest hit area of drought and locust plague, after winter, Yuan Shao counted and found that the population of Yanzhou was only just over one million.

Digging deeper, I found that most of the three million people who disappeared had fled into the rule of the King of Qin, or some of them had been received by the Jizhou side, and there were really not many who starved to death due to the loss of grain harvest due to natural disasters.

This is thanks to the Han Daily and a group of Jinyi guards who bear the identity of newspaper readers, and the propaganda of the situation under the rule of the King of Qin is in place. Not long after the famine occurred, those ordinary people had to have their way to live somewhere, and even with the help of some ‘well-wishers, they continued to pour into the Qin king’s rule.

Yuan Shu’s Yuzhou, which originally had a population of more than five million, now only about two million remained, most of whom also fled to the rule of the King of Qin, and a small part went south to Yangzhou and southern Jingzhou. Not many people really died due to natural disasters.

Both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu knew the importance of population, and although they were indignant that the population had all flowed to the King of Qin and had been properly settled, they were helpless. Even the trace of conscience in his heart made Yuan Shao breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shao is for their interests and for themselves, but as long as they are normal human beings, they absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to the life and death of millions of people.

Because of this, when those ‘well-wishers’ were diverting the displaced people, Yuan Shao and others chose to pretend not to see it.

This is also the only thing that Yuan Shao and others can do beforehand.

However, there are also things that make Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and others wonder.

That is, Jizhou actually escaped this natural disaster, and the population has increased unabated.

However, as soon as the two brothers investigated deeply, they were completely angry, all because Jizhou Mu Han Fu did not know when he voted for the King of Qin, and now Jizhou has begun to show the frame to change the law, and Han Fu has actually gone to Luoyang at this time to take up the position of the so-called second product, the left attendant of Hube.

Now Jizhou Mu has become a middle-aged man named Fang Qiao, and because the Qin king system is a separation of military and government, the general of Jizhou is an unknown person named Guo Ziyi.

At this time, Fang Qiao was sorting out the internal affairs of Jizhou, while Guo Ziyi was leading 30,000 troops to station at the main checkpoint on the border between Jizhou and Yanzhou, and made every effort to rectify the old army of Jizhou.

After Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu got the news, they were simply furious, scolding Han Fu for not being a son of man, regardless of the friendship that the Yuan family cared for in the past.

But Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not dare to move, and at this time, the disaster was gone, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could only shrink in the treatment to lick their wounds, and they were unable to do anything else.

There is more than one piece of news that makes Yuan Shao and others sad.

Soon, the news that Qingzhou had fallen to the King of Qin also came.

Because order in Qingzhou was completely broken not long after the natural disaster began, when Guo Ziyi’s army was stationed on the border between Jizhou and Yanzhou, the Youzhou general Huo Qubing led troops south to Qingzhou and occupied Qingzhou in one fell swoop.

Now Huo Qubing was transferred to Qingzhou General, and Luoyang sent a middle-aged man named Du Ruxian to serve as Qingzhou Mu.

As for the general Youzhou, he was succeeded by a man named Li Jing, with Zhang Shougui as the deputy and Pei Xingjian as the counselor

At this point, it was only an autumn time, and the Qin king’s forces directly advanced to the Yellow River.

In this regard, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were very afraid, but before the two could think deeply about the countermeasures, it was reported that Xuzhou Tao Qian suddenly returned to Luoyang to report his duties!

Debriefing, describing his ~mother~’s duties!!

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu directly exploded, because the one who took over Xuzhou was Di Renjie, the prefect sent by the King of Qin, and the general of Xuzhou was Yang Ye, who also divided 20,000 troops from Qingzhou, led by Yang Ye into Xuzhou, to rectify the old army of Xuzhou.

In the end, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also discovered that the reason why Tao Qian showed the banner so quickly and merged it into Luoyang was because of the Xuzhou Mi family and the Chen family.

The Chen family didn’t have anything, just pressed the chips towards the King of Qin, who now had an absolute advantage. This is not the first time that the Chen family has done this kind of thing. Just like when Tao Qian entered Xuzhou, the Chen family was optimistic about Tao Qian and put their chips on Tao Qian, rather than the Cao clan, a native clan of Xuzhou.

And now, even the blind can see that the general trend of the world lies with the King of Qin.

Previously, because of the King of Qin’s rejection of the family clan, many family clans had great concerns about pressing chips on the King of Qin.

But since Zhong Xiu and Chen Qun appeared in that article in the Dahan Daily, dividing the family into two categories, good and evil, the family clans in Han understood it.

This was a signal, a signal that King Qin was unwilling to kill completely.

Of course, the premise is to obey the command of the King of Qin, then being a kind and obedient family can also gain power and profit.

For example, the most real example of the family gate valve that began to follow the King of Qin from Chang’an is that the Huangfu Song of the Jiangmen family is now in a high position, and the Huangfu family has been treated favorably many times.

What the Huangfu family had to pay was to abide by the laws of the new law of the King of Qin, and at the same time sell the excess land for the King of Qin to change the law and use it systematically.

There is nothing to abide by the new laws, after all, no matter how severe the new laws are, they are at most similar to the Han laws that evolved from the Qin law.

And land, with the popularization of the cultivation of high-yield grain under the rule of the King of Qin, it is now difficult for the King of Qin to make a fortune from the land.

The cheap food made many people under the rule of the Qin king begin to dislike the distribution of land, and looked forward to allocating a small building in the city.

It is also because of this that the Qin king had to hire peasants to farm the land by means of hiring, otherwise the grain would hurt the peasants, the land could not obtain sufficient benefits, and it was completely inferior to the long-term work for the government, then the Qin king’s rule was likely to eventually evolve into no one willing to farm.

In this way, the price of the field will fall wildly, so what is the use of those clans pinching the field? It is better to follow King Qin to do business investment, so that the money will come faster.

Because they saw through this, the Xuzhou Chen family, as well as some big clans in Xuzhou, after thinking twice, decided to fall for the King of Qin.

However, it was the Mi family that really made Tao Qian decide to vote for King Qin.

The Mi family is also one of the few families in Xuzhou, but the Mi family is a rare merchant background, because of generations of reclamation and accumulation of extremely strong assets. _
