These days Lu Yao's military strength has expanded, and the elite of all races have returned to him. There is no need to say that the strong soldiers and soldiers are gathered together. However, the literary style of the northern border is not strong, and no literati with real talents and knowledge were found in just a few days. Therefore, the general affairs of the army still rely on the Chief Shi Shao Xu.

It should be noted that Lu Yao crossed the military and political paths, and another army was lonely. Compared to when he was in Jinyang, the environment was much stranger, and all kinds of complicated matters were more than ten times more. It was really a lot of tricks to raise food and fodder, allocate materials, allocate weapons, organize civilians, etc. At the same time, facing hundreds of vulgar beauties who are ignorant, speak in words, and cannot explain clearly than the number of fingers. How difficult it is to count the supplies they provide one by one? Thinking about this situation, it will make people stand up.

Fortunately, Shao Xu did not rely on his family background to talk about the mysterious and ministers. He had been the head of the county and county, and had accumulated practical experience in governance. Not only did he handle things skillfully, but he was also very quick and easy. He followed the army to various places in Dai County, resting for only one or two hours a day, and took a few officials who could barely read the text and write to count, count, copy, distribute, and deal with affairs. He maintained the situation with all the situation. Not to mention that Lu Yao was able to rely heavily on him, all the generals admired him.

At this moment, Shao Xu was sitting in the first seat on Lu Yao's right hand. Although he had been dealing with soldiers and Hu's men recently, he still had a wide robe and a small crown with a scholarly demeanor, but now he was pouting and trying to tear the cow's tendons, which was really out of tune. After hearing Lu Yao's question, Shao Xu wiped his beard with a slutty beard, and did not look for the account book, and answered casually:

"The seizures in recent days are roughly as follows: 1,300 swords and swords, 40 spears and swords, 220 sets of leather armor, and 40 pairs of horn bows. Half of them have been scheduled to be distributed to the army to make up for the damage to the war, broken weapons and armor, etc., and craftsmen have been ordered to repair them as soon as possible. It is expected that more than 1,000 soldiers and armor can be provided in half a month. At present, the arrows of each army are seriously insufficient, but the storage allowance is only more than 12,000, and the speed of craftsmen is limited, so it is a bit difficult."

After all, the northern border is barren, so this is certainly not good news, but it is also within Lu Yao's expectations. Lu Yao nodded and asked again: "Where are other food and fodder?"

Shao Xu owed: "The inventory has not been completed yet, but the food and fodder should be twice as many as ten months ago, and there are no counts of cattle, horses, and livestock."

Lu Yao nodded again. Ten days ago, the two of them also calculated the stock of materials here. At that time, Lu Yao was very happy about the seizure after the capture of the Daiwang City. If the food and fodder they had mastered now could be more than that, it would be quite good. Not to mention the innumerable cattle, horses and livestock from the destruction of the entire tribe. In order to grazle the cattle and sheep, several grasslands around Luochuan had almost completely occupied.

"only……"

Lu Yao knew what Shao Xu meant, so he took the conversation and quickly reported another set of numbers counted by Shao Xu yesterday: "But now we directly control the 7,000 iron cavalry, 3,900 Jin people's households, and more than 2,700 Hu's households, and more than five times the number before ten months. In line with this, the food and fodder seemed tight again."

Dai was originally a remote place in the northern border, and the Hu people were extremely powerful. Over the years, Han refugees hiding the Hu people to avoid taxes. As a result, during the Taikang period of the State Dynasty, the number of households in the entire Dai County was only 3,400. However, this time, Lu Yao attacked Dai County and destroyed many of the Mishu tribes that refused to obey. Not only did he search for a large number of hidden households, but he even enlisted a large number of Hu people who surrendered. The number of military and civilians of this scale, even if there was no war, was consumed by eating, drinking and training every day. Since Lu Yao was the prefect of Dai County, he had to have a long-term plan. It was not a solution to live in vain.

Shao Xu moved forward and said solemnly: "I have heard that if you take it, you will still be successful, and if you hesitate, you will not be in trouble. Although the current situation will not be a problem for one or two months, what is the next step? How should civil affairs behave outside of military affairs? How can you truly take root in Dai County? Shu Shao Xu is so angry, dare you ask if the general has any plans?"

"Although I have some superficial ideas, I don't know if it's appropriate. I still need guidance from Mr. Shao." Lu Yao said frankly. Whether it was before and after the journey, Lu Yao never had the experience of being a local official. Although he had some preliminary plans for future development, he could not guarantee whether it was appropriate. In order to avoid wishful creation of a castle in the air that was out of reality, he was very much looking forward to Shao Xu's effective suggestions.

And Shao Xu really lived up to what Lu Yao expected.

He covered his palm on the table and said in a deep voice: "In Shao's opinion, the next step is nothing more than three things to do. It is to regulate the people, use the people, and comfort the people."

"So please tell me in detail."

The noise at the banquet seemed to suddenly quiet. Only Shao Xu's confident words were heard in Lu Yao's ears: "The so-called "regulating the people" is to understand the people, and to distinguish the types. There are more than 5,000 households in the military and civilians of the county who depend on the generals. Among them, how many are capable of being an official household? How many are capable of being a military household? How many are capable of being a craftsman? How many are capable of working as a farmer? How many are capable of grazing? These need to be clearly distinguished as soon as possible, and properly placed according to their respective expertise and needs, so that they can play an appropriate role."

A huge number of dependent people here, simply using military orders to restrict and suppress it is not possible. It must be included in all aspects of politics, military, and economy to form a system with production capacity and form a fixed source of food and wages. However, the differences between the people in the Hu and Han areas of Dai County are very obvious. For example, Hu'er is not good at farming, Han people are not good at grazing, and the people here are fierce, and they are warlike and die lightly... If you arrange randomly, not only will you achieve half the result with twice the effort, but you will also have the risk of inciting conflicts. This requires you to in-depth and meticulously reorganize and understand their background as soon as possible. Only on this basis can you start the next arrangement. Lu Yao nodded repeatedly: "What Mr. Shao said is extremely true! Please continue to tell!"

"The two things in governing the people are to recruit talents. Governance should be like using the body to use the arms and using the fingers to control them. However, Dai County fell into the hands of the Hu clan for decades, and the gentry had withered. The prefect, the commanders, long and subordinates were all useless, as if there was no arm connected between the body and the fingers." Speaking of this, Shao Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past few days, he was so busy that he could hardly chop himself into three or five petals, which was thanks to this. If this continues for a long time, even the iron-killed muscles and bones could not be held back: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary strategies should be used. I also asked the general to issue orders to recruit talents and quickly and simply pick up officials and subordinates. Whether it is born or surnamed tribe, any person with a skill or acquaintance, should be given as a competent talent to enrich the shogunate."

This at first sounds a bit explosive. Could it be that you should only be talented and not limited to your family background? Lu Yao was stunned for a moment and quickly realized. Although Shao Xu was unlucky, his father and ancestors were both high-ranking officials in the court. He was a leader of a gentry in Anyang, Wei County, and a famous scholar in Hebei. How could he easily abandon his family's opinions? What he advocated was to significantly reduce the recruitment qualifications of lower-level officials to include the people in management as soon as possible. Local officials and important subordinates with truly higher status naturally would not choose people at will.

It was the norm at that time to emphasize the family status of the gentry. This trend has continued since the Han and Wei dynasties and has its own unique existence significance. Lu Yao did not have to or intentionally object, but he did not mind pushing Shao Xu's opinion a little more. It should be noted that decades of rampage of the Hu people have caused the Han tyrants and the gentry to suffer a major blow. Deep in Lu Yao's heart, he even vaguely felt that this was a big cleaning for him, which would help him, the new prefect of Dai County, to appoint his confidants without any scruples, and to directly control the military and civilians. Under this condition, if he could use the name of recommending talents to recruit heroes in the corpses, he would have won two birds with one stone.

So Lu Yao clapped his hands and said, "That's right. Do Duke Shao remember the recruitment order of Emperor Wu of Wei? "Yi Zhi, Fu said it was a bitch, Guan Zhong, and Duke Huan, and they all used it to promote it. Xiao He, Cao Shen, county officials, Han Xin, and Chen Ping were humiliated and were ashamed to laugh at him. He could finally achieve the king's career and make a name for a thousand years." It can be seen that talented people may not be out of humbleness. If there were talented people in the country, let alone the officials, what would it be like if they were the chief or the subordinates?"

This has greatly expanded the scope of recruiting talents. If you say this in a certain place in the Central Plains, it will probably trigger attacks from the powerful clan. But since it is in the northern border isolated outside the territory and is struggling with trouble and everything is invented, Shao Xu is also in trouble. He laughed and bowed to Lu Yao: "The general is extraordinary and Shao admires it."
