System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

As a result, Luoyang and Sili had already finished harvesting, while Jizhou had just started the autumn harvest.

[Ding, because the host is feeling emotional about the autumn harvest, a lucky reward is triggered: a gift pack of crop seeds.]

"System, are you still alive?"

Dong Yu's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh.

[The system's energy decreases as the number of triggers increases, making triggering increasingly difficult.]

The system's cold answer echoed in his mind.

Although Dong Yu felt a little regretful about this, as this system did not seem to be that powerful, it was still enough for him to dominate the late Han Dynasty.

"Will you die then?"

Dong Yu couldn't help but ask.

【…】

【As long as you live, I will not die. 】

The system seemed to be speechless because of Dong Yu.

"My lord, along the way, the prosperity of Jizhou far exceeds that of Luoyang and Chang'an."

"Logically speaking, the impact of business practices on agriculture is relatively large."

"Why is it that while the Lord is vigorously promoting commerce, Jizhou is still able to maintain its prosperity?"

Liu Ye, who had just joined, asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"Indeed, when the common people see merchants making money, some will inevitably be envious and want to engage in business and neglect farming."

"But if the population base is sufficient, commerce can boost people's living standards."

"Once the people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, they will naturally increase their reproduction, and the population will increase."

"Moreover, merchants are the most informed. The prosperity of Jizhou will spread to other states and counties through the mouths of merchants, which will attract more refugees."

Dong Yu nodded and immediately explained to Liu Ye.

It is certain that in the early years of the dynasty, the goal was to achieve great order, emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce.

Due to the shortage of labor, if a large number of people go out to do business, fertile land will naturally become abandoned.

But throughout history, business has always been extremely developed in prosperous times.

In times of chaos, we should do the opposite, seize the fortune of other states, and strengthen our own prosperity.

It can be said that the prosperity of Jizhou was entirely achieved by stepping on Youzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

You can't do that when the troubled times are just coming to an end, because the whole world belongs to you.

But in troubled times, people plunder each other's resources.

When I am strong, you are weak.

The strong will be strong, the weak will perish!

"I see."

"My lord, this is a very clever trick."

Liu Ye was secretly shocked by Dong Yu's plan.

This move is absolutely impossible for other princes to defend against.

By the time you react, the gap in Jizhou is no longer something you can catch up with.

Even if you want to copy it later, you can't do it without people.

How to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost and stop the refugees and common people from heading to Jizhou?

That is even more impossible to stop.

Even in developed later generations, there were still people who stowed away their secrets, let alone the ancient times where people were always leaking information.

If the official road is blocked, there are small roads; if the small road is blocked, there are mountain roads.

"Yecheng is ahead."

"I haven't been back for several years, and I don't know what happened to them."

"Will he be led astray by Fox Jia?"

Dong Yu looked at the city in the distance that was gradually coming into view and couldn't help but think.

...

邺城

Outside the governor's mansion, Dian Wei has been guarding it day after day for years.

This place has become a forbidden area.

No one is allowed to enter, lest the color of life be stained on the head of their lord.

"Alas, when will the lord come back?"

"The 828 days since my lord's absence, I've missed him."

Dian Wei sat on the steps outside the mansion with his chin supported by one hand.

"Dad, I don't want to expose you. Are you thinking about the lord or the lord's salary?"

"Dad, do you think the Lord doesn't want you anymore because he thinks you're ugly?"

"Dad, you always brag about your martial arts skills, but why doesn't the lord take you with him wherever he goes?"

"Dad, you... wuwuwu~"

The boy next to him was eating a chicken leg and muttering with curiosity.

These words were heart-wrenching and made Dian Wei become famous very quickly.

Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. Before his son could finish speaking, Dian Wei reached out and stuffed his son's chicken leg into his mouth with lightning speed.

"Eating chicken legs can't even stop your mouth."

"My Lord, you just dislike my ugliness. Could it be that you also dislike the ugliness of these ladies?"
