After discussing with the ministers, Gongsun Xiu entered the deep palace alone.

Gongsun Yuan sat in the hall drinking, looked at the singer dancing under the court boredly, yawned lazily, and said, "This is really boring."

An old man next to him looked around 60 years old, with thin cheeks and a little feminine temperament. He said lightly: "I have only been a few days and I feel bored? I have been alone in prison for ten years, and it is not necessarily boring. Now I have wine and meat, and living in this deep palace is much more comfortable than prison."

Gongsun Yuan let out a "hoosh", glanced at him with a squint eyes and said, "This only means that my son is filial after all, and he is willing to give me a chance to enjoy his old age. If I make up my mind, you would be no longer alive ten years ago. It would be much better for ten years in prison."

The feminine old man's voice was extremely sharp, which made people feel creepy and said lightly: "Is that right? In this way, I want to thank you."

“That’s natural—”

Gongsun Yuan smiled indifferently.

The feminine old man snorted coldly and shook his head and said, "Now Liaodong has finally got a place to use its skills in Xiu'er's hands, rather than handing it in your hands. He provoked all his strength to become kings, causing the world to attack, and even Gongsun Huang was killed by you."

Gongsun Yuan was immediately dissatisfied and stood up to argue a few times. At this time, a somewhat lazy laugh came from outside the door: "Can't you chat happily together?"

The two of them looked out the door at the same time, and saw Gongsun Xiu standing quietly by the door, smiling at the corner of his mouth.

Gongsun Yuan restrained his composure and said awkwardly: "Ah... Anu, are you here?"

Gongsun Xiu waved his hand and held back his servants, shouting "Grandfather" to the feminine old man.

The feminine old man was Gongsun Gong, Gongsun Yuan’s uncle and his grandfather. He was also the third ruling man in Liaodong.

In the second year of Taihe, Gongsun Gong suffered from male reproductive diseases and had to cut off his reproductive organs and became a eunuch. He was weak and unable to take charge of Liaodong. He was forced to step down by Gongsun Yuan and became the master of Liaodong.

Gongsun Yuan became the lord of Liaodong and put Gongsun Gong in jail.

Until this year, Gongsun Xiu usurped the throne of King Yan. In order to show his kindness and righteousness, he not only did not throw Gongsun Yuan into the prison, but instead took the two of them to the deep palace for free.

Three generations sat together, and they were separated from each other.

Gongsun Xiu was also embarrassed and picked up the insoles with his toes. He looked up at his uncle, looked at his father again, and lowered his head, thinking to himself: "The three of us sat together, and I really don't know what to talk about. When my grandfather Gongsun Kang died young, Gongsun Gong took over Liaodong, and then occupied the position of the King of Liaodong. Gongsun Yuan took advantage of Gongsun Gong's illness and forced him to step down and proclaim himself the King of Yan. And I, the two armies of Yan and Wei fought and seized Gongsun Yuan's throne in the chaos."

The three of them have their own guilt and their own bad intentions. Gongsun Xiu even felt that this meeting could be named "all-member evil people".

In general, Gongsun Gong admired this nephew more. First, it was not that he usurped his throne, second, it was that he took himself out of the prison, and third and most importantly, Liaodong finally regained its vitality from his hands.

Gongsun Gong smiled and said, "Xu'er, how could you have time to come to the deep palace today? My uncle heard about your achievements, which not only improved the bad policies, but also drove away the Wei army. It's really awesome for young people. My uncle and your father no longer have to worry about their ancestors' business."

You don't need to worry about it.

Gongsun Xiu thought to himself, and he blew up and said, "My uncle has been too proud, and I just did what I should do. There is only one thing at the moment, that is, the issue of expanding the population of Liaodong."

Gongsun Gong was stunned: "Expand the population of Liaodong?"

Gongsun Xiuzheng said, "Everyone is the people-oriented to help the world. After all, Liaodong is scarce in population. How can it achieve great things?"

Gongsun Gong said: "It is naturally to encourage childbirth and reward farming. The people of Liaodong live and work in peace and contentment, and the population can gradually increase."

"It will take at least decades to do this, and Liaodong does not have such a long national fortune to operate. In today's great struggle, if Cao Rui had not advanced, he would retreat. If Cao Rui had not been dealing with the two countries of Wu and Shu, he would have no time to be distracted. I'm afraid Liaodong had been slashed by the Wei army. No matter how good we are in battle, we would have only delayed the speed of annexation."

Gongsun Xiu immediately denied this idea. In such an environment in ancient times, it was very difficult to push the population of Yan State.

If we want to increase the country's population, we must first have a stable environment. China under the ancient agricultural civilization was very willing to give birth to several more.

There are four reasons: one is that the survival rate is low, and the baby often dies before it is raised, or there are three disasters and five diseases. Once you encounter this kind of problem, the family will easily lose its heirs.

The second is to increase labor force. If one more person in the family, one more person will cultivate land and farm, which will significantly increase the family economy.

The third is that the old age has a basis for it, and the thoughts under the traditional concept of filial piety for thousands of years have been hard-working, so that even if the elderly in their sixties and seventies can still enjoy their old age.

Fourth, there are no good contraceptive measures.

The increase in population is reflected in the social environment. First, it is war and chaos. It is extremely difficult to stabilize the population during the war and there is no suitable soil. It is also the reason why the 64-point military farm system can still be implemented under such a background.

Gongsun Yuan looked at his son's expression and suddenly said, "Do you want to rob the population?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, now only by looting people and filling Liaodong can we develop military and agriculture on a large scale. Since ancient times, all the emperors and powerful countries have been based on farming and warfare."

Gongsun Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "What a farming battle is the basis."

"If this is true, Xiu'er's goal, if I guess wrong, is it Goguryeo?" Gongsun Gong suddenly laughed.

Gongsun Xiu exclaimed secretly, thinking that although his uncle was imprisoned for ten years, he was meticulous and his judgment was still not weak. He nodded and said, "The Goguryeo Kingdom is capricious. This time, he took advantage of the emptiness of Liaodong and attacked Xiangping. This is a very evil grudge. Although the King of Dongchuan and Mo Huba escaped, I have already obtained 30,000 of them and were incorporated into the army as military farmer. I will get two million hu of food and grass next year. When the army horses are ready and the ice and snow melt, I can conquer Goguryeo."

This time, the temptation of 30,000 people in Goguryeo is simply addictive. The population can become soldiers and farmers. The benefits it can bring are enough to offset the people's efforts to fight against the Wei army this year.

Gongsun Gong smiled sinisterly. Since he became a eunuch, his yang energy dissipated, his speech was insufficient, and his voice was feminine and artificial, which made Gongsun Yuan and his son creepy.

Gongsun Gong said lightly: "Since Xiu'er has the ambition of a king and domineering king, he should learn from your great-grandfather, Zhang Haidong, and all the foreigners."

When talking about Gongsun Xiu's great-grandfather Gongsun Du, his eyes showed light and his spirit was also heroic.
