Seeing that Zhang Zhao still lowered his head and said nothing, Liu Xiang lost interest in trying to persuade him.
"Brother, is there something wrong with me?"
"Father wants to see you."
"Is Mr. Zhang in the county?"
Zhang Zhao replied: "In a certain home."
"Brother Yuanhou is acting coy and not as usual. Does he not want me to go to see Duke Zhang?"
"yes."
"Why?"
"A certain person is a thief in Hunu County under the rule of the Han Dynasty. His duty is to hunt down bandits and bandits. You are a rebel!
How can you be a rebel? Why... why are you a rebel?" Zhang Zhao was very excited.
"If I can't survive anymore, I will rebel."
Zhang Zhao stared blankly at Liu Xiang. Seeing that Liu Xiang showed no regrets, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Liu Xiang didn't stop him or follow him to meet Zhang Huai because he had deep feelings for them, which would unconsciously affect Liu Xiang's sense of them and make Liu Xiang feel close to them.
But this remaining consciousness cannot influence Liu Xiang's mind.
I hope that their father and son can live a good life. After all, they are not bad people.
Seeing Zhang Zhao walking further and further away, Liu Xiang turned back to the county government office. He still had many things to do.
Recruiting talents and soldiers cannot stop. When the land is allocated, a group of common people will definitely come to apply, and there will also be some children from poor families who will come to join forces. These people's interests are consistent with Liu Xiang's, and they can all be trusted.
Liu Xiang plans to use them to form a front army and a rear army. In a few days, the 800 veterans who have recovered from illness will be able to leave the camp, and there will be no shortage of officers.
With the four armies at the front, rear, left and right, plus the central army composed of five battalions of Xiaoqi, Huqi, Guards, Shesheng and Zhongba, the Anping Army in Liu Xiang's conception is almost complete, with about 20,000 troops.
No more Yuyang can be raised.
Currently, there is a serious shortage in the Chinese Army, so we can only choose among new recruits first. Later, Chinese Army soldiers will be selected from the front, rear, left, and right armies.
Liu Xiang also wanted to set up a cavalry battalion with cavalry and archery as the main means of combat, and a light vehicle battalion with crossbows, trebuchets and other combat tools as combat means. However, there are too many things and insufficient personnel, so he can only shelve it.
Cui Yi was left to lead the Xiaoqi camp and the Anping Zuojun to garrison Hunu and supervise all matters related to the division of land.
Liu Xiang rushed back to Yuyang first. Tomorrow Yan Rou would take Hu Qiying and the Anping Right Army to escort some of the slaves back to Yuyang.
He wanted to use these people to expand Yuyang, and continue to expand one mile north beyond the original north wall to build a city wall.
A workshop area will be built there, and workshops for armor, crossbows, swords, long soldiers, shields, weaving, etc. will be built there. The ironmaking workshop will be expanded on the basis of the original iron official camp.
A kiln for burning lime and burning pottery was expanded in the valley outside Beicheng.
A craftsman supervisor is established to have unified jurisdiction over these workshops, kilns and mines. There will be one worker officer, one Cao chief, Cao Yu, and several assistant envoys as the supervisor.
A soap workshop also needs to be established. Soap production has been suspended for several days. Only veterans in the army still have some stock, and they are no longer willing to use it.
It became a treasure that these veterans used to show off their sense of superiority. They would show it out in front of the recruits at every turn and proudly say:
"Did you see it? This is called the Anti-Plague Pill. The one in my hand was refined by my lord himself. When my lord made the elixir, I was waiting on it.
You haven't seen it. When the elixir is completed, the ghosts and gods come to the world in fear of the punishment from heaven, and the sky and the river pour down with lightning and thunder. Only a hero like this who has fought a hundred battles can survive that scene. If it were you, you would be scared to death.
.
The Lord has great magic power, so he used a method to cover the sky and avoid the punishment of heaven, so that the anti-plague pill can appear in the world.
Thinking that someone had some merit, I rewarded someone with one, which was to be a family heirloom.
In other words, a certain generosity allows you to open your eyes and soak up the immortal spirit. Others want to see it? But they don't have that blessing.
If you dare to stretch out your hand, I will beat you."
The behavior of these veterans was so bad that the recruits' eyes turned red with envy.
The soap workshop must be established as soon as possible, not only to distribute it to the army, but also to sell it for money. After all, everyone thinks that soap should be called Anti-Plague Pill. When you hear this name, it is worth spending a lot of money to buy.
Is this considered selling anxiety in the Han Dynasty?
Liu Xiangding's taxes are too low to support his army. In the past few years, he could plunder the assets of powerful families, but this is not a long-term solution. He plans to develop manufacturing, take the state-owned enterprise route, and then form a caravan to make money on his own.
Feed the army.
There is no reason not to make money through technological innovation, monopoly operations, large-scale production to reduce costs, and the development of offshore trade.
Feeding an army of a certain size is not a problem.
This is enough to get through the early stage of entrepreneurship. When the territory becomes larger and there are more people, some shares can be given to the emerging Xungui Group and they can participate in dividends. This is much stronger than a political marriage.
The land distribution was in progress, and Liu Xiang asked each secretary to bring the soldiers, each of whom was responsible for a piece of land, and walked through each pavilion. He required that everyone's land deeds must be stamped with the seal of the Anping General's Palace.
If there are any obstacles, they will be beheaded in public.
But if there is any omission, he will be punished with hard labor for ten years.
If someone dares to commit corruption, the whole family will be reduced to slavery.
Liu Xiang would not compromise at all on the matter of dividing the land. This was his foundation.
The people in Yuyang County and Hunu County suddenly became so strong that they could run dozens of miles away to watch people dividing their fields. If one view was not enough, they would follow the procession of dividing fields to the next pavilion and watch again. The more they watched, the more comfortable they felt.
, after several lifetimes, I finally have my own land.
Just looking at it is not enough, you also have to count with others. An adult with fifteen acres of grain fields can count on his fingers how many fields he can allocate. The more he counts, the happier he becomes.
What? And Sang Ma Tian? What should I do if I don’t have enough fingers?
Watch it over and over again, listen to it over and over again, and count it over and over again.
Come on, come on, it's almost your turn.
Each secretary led a team of soldiers and followed a group of common people, wandering around the village pavilions. When they met those who didn't understand, they would give advice and help those who were moving.
If anyone resists, follow the soldiers and kill them all.
The resistance to land distribution is very small, even for a few small landowners, and they have no choice.
Although Liu Xiang did not take away their fields, he allocated fields to their tenants, so no one would farm them. What's the use of having empty fields? Even if he wanted to sell them, no one would dare to buy them at this time.
It can only be sold to the General's Mansion at a reduced price.
It hurts. Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. If someone is so anxious, he will try his best, and then he will die.
Liu Xiang got a lot of land and real estate without spending any money. It was a good business without any capital.
As for why there are only real estate and fields? Don’t delve into this kind of thing. Let’s make a fortune together. What a great model.
Dividing fields, building cities, building workshops, recruiting talents, recruiting soldiers, and recruiting craftsmen, Liu Xiang was busy all over. He wanted to sort out the technologies that future generations could apply in the Han Dynasty, but he couldn't spare much time, so he had to take his time.
As more and more people were allocated fields, Liu Xiang's reputation grew and his foundation became stronger and stronger.
He had the idea of Lu County again, and his eyes gradually looked beyond Yuyang County, such as Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County to the east.
The populations of these two counties are quite small, and together they are not as large as Hunu County. What really attracted him was Shanhaiguan.
Of course, there is no Shanhaiguan Pass now, and it was only built in the Ming Dynasty.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was called Linyu, the western exit of the 400-mile Liaoxi Corridor.
There is a fierce man on the east side of the Liaoxi Corridor, his name is Gongsun Zan.
During this period, Gongsun Zan served as the chief historian of the Liaodong vassal state. It was there that the prestige of Baima Changshi began, and the Baima Yi Cong was also established there.
If Gongsun Zan were to call him, Liu Xiang would probably be in trouble.
Therefore, no matter how prepared he was, he wanted to capture Linyu in Liaoxi County, build a pass and build a city there, and block Gongsun Zan out of the pass.
Fighting hard will not work. Liu Xiang feels that it is a general dereliction of duty to always let his soldiers and horses fight hard and hard.
You need to find a way to mobilize the enemy troops and make them move. Once they move, they will reveal their flaws and then give them a fatal blow.
The two thousand troops stationed in Lu County defend the grain road leading to You Beiping. If Lu County is moved, You Beiping's army will definitely be mobilized.
After all, there is no better way to plot poison than to run out of food.
