At first, Liu Bei did not realize that he had to separate the technical personnel in Liangzhou, so except for women of childbearing age, all other prisoners were beaten as coolies.
Later, Liu Bei received a report that some coolies were overwhelmed by the heavy work and secretly collected raw materials to make weapons to resist, killed some supervisors, and caused some minor troubles.
Fortunately, the army suppressed it in time, otherwise it is hard to say whether it would have triggered a series of chain resistance in the mining area.
From this, Liu Bei realized that the grassland tribes also had skilled craftsmen. They could also forge iron and make weapons. Although their skills were not as good as those of the Central Plains craftsmen, the weapons they produced could still kill people.
So Liu Bei began to adjust his captive strategy, singling out the technical personnel among the captives and treating them differently, including them in household registration, taking them for his own use, and giving them more generous treatment.
So these technicians began to be used by Liu Bei.
After losing these technicians, the coolies have become much more honest and have no way to obtain weapons to resist. Even if they want to resist, the harm will be greatly reduced.
So later on, after Liu Bei defeated the enemy and captured prisoners, he would always pay attention to selecting the technical talents among them and use them for his own use, using guys without any special skills as coolies. As long as there was a skill, he would see if it was useful.
The population of this wave of captives was relatively large, including Xianbei, Wuhuan, Huns, and all kinds of miscellaneous people whose ethnicity could not be distinguished. There were more than 700,000 people in total, and their number was almost catching up with the number of Han people in Youzhou.
Therefore, the number of women of childbearing age is approximately 210,000.
If all these 2.12 million women were included in the Youzhou household registration, it would certainly be a great supplement to the population of Youzhou.
In addition to the more than 30,000 special skills personnel selected later, the total number will be close to 250,000.
Of course these people are of great help, but how to distribute them, how to feed so many mouths to eat, and the subsequent development of Youzhou also require supporting measures.
Of course Liu Bei also had a plan.
Use this war to build Youzhou into the second Liangzhou and completely transplant the Liangzhou model to Youzhou.
For the Liu Bei Group, this is not a strange thing. Rather, it is a very normal thing. Now the land of Youzhou has been severely damaged. After the chaos, there must be great governance. If there is a big change, it will
For Youzhou people, this is no longer unacceptable.
In times of peace, people don't like to fuss and are generally conservative, but in times of war, everything is different.
After thinking about it, Liu Bei thought about the people under his command who were trustworthy and trustworthy, and then he thought of Xiahou Dun, who was serving as the prefect of Anding County in Liangzhou.
He has been the prefect of Anding County for several years, and has accumulated some experience in politics. He has excellent political performance, a good official reputation, and is honest and self-responsible. Every year in Liangzhou's official assessment, Xiahou Dun always ranks at the top and is deeply loved.
Zhizhong engaged in the company's praise.
Among the first series of subordinates who followed Liu Bei, Xiahou Dun is currently the only one who is still serving as his governor of Anding County. Except for Guan Yu, who is still guarding Liangzhou, only Xiahou Dun has not changed, and is a person with junior qualifications than him.
They were all promoted to generals, but Xiahou Dun still held the position of captain and was not promoted.
Despite this, Xiahou Dun did not have any emotions and would not fight if there was no war. He just did what he had to do. Therefore, the development of Anding County is the fastest among the counties in Liangzhou, and the population is also the fastest growing.
one.
Liu Bei admired Xiahou Dun's political ability very much, so he now needed a Youzhou governor who had strong execution ability and was willing to obey orders. This person was none other than Xiahou Dun.
He did what he said. On the one hand, Liu Bei wrote to Xiahou Dun asking him to make preparations for the handover. On the other hand, he also wrote a memorial to the court, noting that Xiahou Dun would be appointed governor of Youzhou.
At the same time, Liu Bei did not intend to give in this time. Youzhou was beaten to a semi-disabled state and needed strong manpower to clean up the situation. At this time, allowing the imperial court to settle the insects in Youzhou would be harmful to Youzhou. Liu Bei planned to all
People use their own hands to rectify Youzhou and implement Youzhou's reform plan.
Not to mention other places, Liu Bei will recommend candidates from his old Liangzhou army to serve as governors and captains of the five counties and one vassal state of Liaodong: Zhuo County, Yuyang County, Guangyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County, and Liaodong vassal state.
Choose the smart and capable ones among them.
The remaining grassroots officials will also be selected from among his disciples and former officials. On the one hand, they will strengthen the political power under their control, and on the other hand, they will ensure that Youzhou is properly governed. Otherwise, Youzhou will collapse and the entire Hebei region will be unlucky.
In the next period of time, Liu Bei did not rush back to Luoyang. Instead, he inspected suitable officials in Youzhou, and decided on governance measures and procedures one by one, ready to be handed over to Xiahou Dun for implementation.
How to settle the population, how to establish collective farms step by step to restore agricultural production in Youzhou, how to control the large number of captured foreigners, how to use them to renovate Youzhou's infrastructure, and some preparations for the future, etc.
Anyway, he has done a lot of things that he should do, so he seizes all the time.
By the time he was ready to lead his army in triumph on March 29, many things in Youzhou had already been put on the agenda and were on the right track. Officials and people were performing their duties, and everything was peaceful and peaceful, with no conflicts breaking out.
Man Chong was retained by Liu Bei as the temporary acting governor of Youzhou, and was responsible for continuing to promote the governance of Youzhou until Xiahou Dun took office.
The army followed Liu Bei from Yuyang County all the way south. When passing through Zhuo County, Liu Bei went back to the Liu clan. Under the warm welcome of the clan members, he returned to the place where he and his mother had lived for more than fifteen years.
That ancestral house.
Fortunately, when Yuan Shao led the rebels to attack Zhuoxian, the Liu family's settlement was not completely destroyed, especially the house where Liu Bei lived, because it was relatively remote and escaped disaster.
When he went back to take a look, the house was still intact there, and the old mulberry tree in the yard was still there, and it even looked better than when he left.
"Uncle, this..."
Liu Bei looked at Liu Bo who was standing aside.
Liu Bo smiled.
"After you became successful, your tribe respected you very much, so the place where you lived was renovated at the expense of the tribe. After that, you hired people to clean and maintain it every day. As the second most important place in the Liu clan after the ancestral hall, ordinary people can't
Come in."
"Hi!"
Liu Bei laughed out loud and said: "What's not allowed here? It's not a place where ghosts and gods live. If you want to come in and have a look, you can have a look. What's the point of sealing it so that no one can see it?"
"That's what I say, but you should be treated a little more specially."
Liu Bo whispered: "Because of you, the Liu clan has a chance to turn over, to further study, and to become a high-ranking family. This room is of great significance to the clan members. This time, it was not occupied by Yuan
The thief destroyed it and everyone was happy."
Liu Bei nodded and said nothing. He walked into the house and took a look. His eyes were filled with memories of the past. When he blinked, he seemed to still be able to see the time when he and his mother were sitting together drinking porridge to satisfy their hunger.
When he came to his mother's room, Liu Bei sat down next to the small table and reached out to touch the small table.
"Back then, my family was very poor and couldn't afford to eat. We could only drink some porridge and eat some pickles at every meal, which was a rare delicacy. I still remember that at that time, I was growing tall and couldn't always eat enough. When I was eating, my mother said
Use a small bowl, I use a large bowl.
Every time I finished eating my big bowl, my mother's small bowl had only a small half left, so my mother said she was full and gave me the remaining half. I always happily ate the small half.
The food was clean, but then I thought about it, how could my mother have enough to eat?
She just gave me the last bit of food to make me a little full, but even so, I couldn't fill my stomach. I was hungry. I was hungry all the time. I wanted a big fish all the time.
The meat fills my stomach, and there is almost nothing in my head except eating.
Uncle, if you hadn't helped us and our son from time to time and sent us some food, we, our mother and our son, might have died of cold and starvation on a certain winter day. You were our savior.
