"The lord has worked hard all the way!"

Guo Jia led people into the Taishou Mansion, and the left-behind Xi Zhong came out with Zhongshan Wenwu to greet him.

"Zhicai has worked hard!"

Guo Jia smiled and reached out to help him up.

It's been a few months since he left, and Zhongshan has always been in order, which naturally can't be attributed to Xi Zhong.

Xi Zhongke has always been Guo Jia's right-hand man.

With him in Zhongshan, Guo Jia can leave with confidence.

Bong Hyo!

Cai Yong greeted him with a smile.

For this son-in-law, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it becomes.

"Father-in-law!"

Seeing Cai Yong, Guo Jia didn't dare to slack off, and held the gift of the younger generation with both hands.

Cai Yong took his hand and said earnestly: "This time I went out to play yellow scarves, it is the duty of a courtier to serve the country, and you must not be proud of your achievements." ”

The son-in-law went out to win the battle, and his father-in-law also had a light on his face.

But young people should beat it up, so as not to be arrogant.

Yes, yes, yes!

For this pedantic and old-fashioned old Taishan, Guo Jia is naturally submissive and does not dare to say more.

Fortunately, this father-in-law didn't know that he had killed the court officials in the military camp, otherwise he would never have spoken so well.

The appearance of full favor helped Guo Jia get rid of this father-in-law with a strong sense of justice.

Man Chong came to report political affairs to Guo Jiayu, and when he saw that his son-in-law had serious things to talk about, Cai Yong was naturally convenient to disturb, so Shi Shiran left.

"Lord, this is the harvest from some time ago!"

Man Pet took out two scrolls, one was the tax revenue of Zhongshan in the past six months, and the other was the resettlement of the displaced people.

Needless to say, the tax has been affected because of the Yellow Turban Thieves, but it has been carried out in an orderly manner.

Guo Jia's attention was immediately attracted by another scroll.

In the past two months, Zhongshan has resettled 1 million displaced people from the surrounding area.

Seeing this number, Guo Jia was also taken aback.

You must know that before he took office, the population of the entire Zhongshan was only two or three hundred thousand, and now after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of Zhongshan has poured in, and now it is several times that of before.

"Don't worry, lord!"

Man Pet said with a smile: "Zhongshan was originally vast and sparsely populated, and due to the thieves and alien races, a large area of land around it was deserted. Now the surrounding counties are in turmoil, but our territory in Zhongshan is peaceful, so people from the surrounding counties have migrated to us on a large scale. The subordinate Mao Rank had settled these people properly and allocated the surrounding land to them. There will be no problem in a short period of time. ”

Guo Jia has already subdued the thieves of Taihang Mountain, and the surrounding area of Taihang Mountain is also peaceful, and there is no danger in settling the displaced people there.

In addition, due to border trade, ethnic minorities such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei also profited from it, and they never came to trouble Zhongshan.

So don't worry about the border either.

In this way, the displaced people can live and work in peace.

Is it?

Guo Jia nodded.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. The surrounding area is a place of war, but Zhongshan is a pure land, and it is natural for everyone to rush here.

As a shepherd, it is also his duty to let the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment.

Other than that......

Full of favor and worried.

"Lord, Guangyang, Shanggu and Daijun are empty, and now they are also in our hands, these three counties are our external barriers, and they need to be garrisoned by a large army. But right now, we are in dire need of troops, and we can't take care of it at all! ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia was also embarrassed.

Zhongshan is not a border county in the strict sense, because there are still Guangyang Valley and Daisan County in the north of Zhongshan.

These three counties are the real border counties, and the three counties border the Xiongnu Wuhuan and Xianbei respectively, and have always been war-torn places.

The imperial court also had no time to govern, and no one wanted to come here to be an official.

In the past, there were still some garrisons, but after the Yellow Turban Uprising, these three places were even more empty, and basically became pastures for foreign races.

With such an opportunity, Guo Jia naturally would not let it go, and immediately sent people to the three counties, intending to build the three counties into a barrier to the outside of Zhongshan.

In this way, Zhongshan, a border trade center, is more stable.

But in this way, a large number of troops are needed to garrison it. But what Zhongshan lacks now is troops.

At present, Guo Jia only has 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry.

Where is Xu Huang?

Guo Jia asked suddenly.

"The last general!"

Xu Huang immediately appeared in front of Guo Jia.

"How's the training of the Forces nouvelles?"

Guo Jia asked in a low voice.

"Back to the lord!"

Xu Huang said word by word: "It's already ready to go to the battlefield!" ”

During this time, he was ordered to train cavalry.

Komeito has worked hard!

Guo Jia hurriedly helped Xu Huang up.

Among the generals, Xu Huang was the best at training, and the first cavalry in Zhongshan was trained by Xu Huang. Zhao Yun's White Horse Yicong is basically from Xu Huang's team.

When Zhang Niujiao was defeated, Xu Huang was ordered to train cavalry, and now it has a preliminary scale.

Very good!

Seeing Xu Huang's achievements, Guo Jia was overjoyed.

This time he defeated the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Jia captured four thousand war horses again, and with these four thousand war horses, he could form four thousand cavalry again.

Guo Jia didn't want to give this arduous task to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang's original 2,000 soldiers and horses were handed over to Zhao Yun.

Promise!

Xu Huang took over this task without saying a word, he was kind and didn't care about anything.

Military training is also his forte.

Xu Huang's 2,000 cavalry of the New Army can temporarily relieve Guo Jia's urgent needs, but they are still much worse than the future needs.

The cavalry must be trained, and the infantry must also be trained.

Guo Jia frowned, and suddenly said, "Yu Ban!" ”

"Lord!"

Yu Ban also strode in front of him.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "I will hand over the Yellow Turban Army prisoners of war and the victims of Nangong County to you, how much time can you use to train them." ”

Last time, he captured nearly 20,000 Yellow Turban thieves, plus 5,000 strong men in Nangong County, a total of 30,000 people.

These people have all experienced the battlefield, and they are the best source of soldiers, and it is also a double benefit to be able to digest them.

Yu Ban said lightly: "Three months!" The last will be able to hand over 20,000 men to the lord. ”

He also has a set of experiences for military training.

However, Yu Ban is strict, believing that it is better to have a shortage than to abuse, and at least one-third of the 30,000 people must be eliminated.

Good!

Guo Jia immediately made a decision and decided to hand over these people to Yu Ban for training.

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. ‘

Since the ban was activated, he did not hesitate to support it.

Promise!

Yu Ban also responded.

"That's right!"

Guo Jia suddenly said: "Take that Zhou Cang with you, this person seems to be a talent." ”

Zhou Cang!

Yu Ban was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly.

He also agrees with this person.

There are not many people who can sit with him and talk about the Tao, and this Zhou Cang happens to be one of them.
