Chapter 937

Because he had to return early to prepare for the resettlement of the million refugees.

So Duan Yu handed over the matter of introducing the million refugees, as well as the main force of the Liangzhou Army bringing up the rear, to Li Ru and Jia Xu, and then quickly returned to Jixian.

Inside the political hall of the residence.

After returning, Duan Yu summoned everyone who was nearby in Jixian.

During the time Duan Yu was away from Liangzhou, several more people were introduced to Liangzhou one after another.

The first one was Zao Zhi, the vanguard of the military colonies, who was escorted back by Wang Hunu.

Subsequently, there were Xun You and Xi Zhicai.

Counting Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Yan Zhong, and Chen Qing'an who remained in Hanyang Commandery, more than a dozen subordinates stood in two rows on the left and right sides of the political hall.

"My Lord, Hanyang, Longxi, and Jincheng commanderies have all begun to implement the production team model."

"And the results are very good. If the total grain output increases after the autumn harvest this year, this model will collect far more grain than the tax model."

"And the people have surplus grain in their homes, which is enough to store wealth among the people."

"Military colonies have also been implemented in the three places at the same time and have achieved decisive results. If this continues, in less than a year, all the commandery troops in Liangzhou will be able to be self-sufficient."

"And the grain output has greatly increased."

Zao Zhi, dressed in a black robe stained with dust, bowed to Duan Yu in the middle and said.

Compared to before coming to Liangzhou, Zao Zhi was darker and thinner now.

But his overall spirit looked very good.

Duan Yu listened to Zao Zhi's report while looking at the record books on the recent data of the production teams placed in front of him.

The production team model was proposed by Duan Yu to Zao Zhi when he was in Yingchuan.

Using pavilions as small production teams and townships as large production teams to manage land in a centralized manner.

This form prevents powerful scholar-clans from encroaching on land and also guarantees the interests of every commoner.

Those who are capable work more, and those who work more get more.

In this way, it also stimulated the people's labor and enthusiasm.

The production team provides farming tools and grain seeds to the people.

And the people use their labor to exchange for points.

After working every day, it is recorded by the township assistants, the three elders, and the small officials in the township pavilions.

Abandoning the tax collection model, the surplus of the production team is used as tax.

This saves the people from the oppression of harsh taxes and levies, making the people return their hearts to Liangzhou.

Killing two birds with one stone.

"Not bad," Duan Yu looked up after reading the data and looked at Zao Zhi with a smile: "Daoyan, you just arrived in Liangzhou and put all your energy into work. It's only been a few months, and you've lost a circle of weight and become darker."

"Work needs to be done, but the body is equally important."

"Daoyan is a pillar of Liangzhou, so you must cherish yourself."

"Before I returned from Luoyang, I had already petitioned His Majesty to establish a separate department in Liangzhou, called the Ministry of Agriculture. Daoyan will be the Minister of Agriculture from now on, with a rank equivalent to two thousand shi. Not only the military colonies in Liangzhou but also the planting of mulberry and silkworm raising will all belong to the Ministry of Agriculture in the future."

"As for the planning of the Ministry of Agriculture and the personnel under it, Daoyan can choose from the local officials in Liangzhou and then submit it to me."

Hearing about the promotion, Zao Zhi was naturally happy.

But compared to the happiness of promotion, what moved Zao Zhi more was that Duan Yu cared about his health first.

"Zao Zhi will definitely not fail the Lord's high expectations," Zao Zhi bowed and saluted.

Duan Yu waved his hand with a smile.

"Yishan, when I was in Jizhou, I received intelligence that the Qiang tribes were raiding Jincheng and other places again?" Duan Yu frowned and looked at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng, the Governor of Hanyang Commandery, who stood at the forefront of the crowd, walked out from the crowd and bowed to Duan Yu: "My Lord, just before you returned, Beigong Boyu of the Huangzhong Yi contacted the Western Qiang in Wuwei, Zhangye, and other places, as well as the Eastern Qiang near Beidi Commandery, and several tribes raided Jincheng many times."

"Many mulberry fields were destroyed by them."

"The Colonel Protecting the Qiang, Zhang Liao, and the Jincheng Commandery Lieutenant, Zhang Xun, led troops to fight them several times, but Beigong Boyu is extremely cunning. Although they won more than they lost, they were never able to capture Beigong Boyu."

"Moreover, the original locals of Jincheng Commandery, Han Yue, Bian Zhang, and others also joined Beigong Boyu and the others and killed the Jincheng Commandery Lieutenant, Leng Zheng."

"Currently, Wuwei Commandery has been occupied by Beigong Boyu and the others."

"The two Generals Zhang do not have many troops and can only defend passively, waiting for you to return to make a decision."

Duan Yu's gaze turned cold.

This Beigong Boyu has been jumping around for long enough.

It seems that this time it must be completely resolved.

"Yishan, the million refugees have now entered Hanyang Commandery. You first preside over the resettlement of the million refugees, and prepare for the diversion of the refugees with the Longxi Governor, Fan Jian, and the Jincheng Governor, Gai Xun."

"As for Beigong Boyu..."

Cold light flashed in Duan Yu's eyes: "I will solve it myself."
