Lushun.

Port of Dalian.

Lushun Taishou Luo Cunxiao brought a group of generals to greet him.

"I heard that you actually took Wang Bo into account?"

"Well, not only have I incorporated Wang Bo, but I also have to recruit those elite fighters from those exiled rebels into the army."

"You are too bold, these people are rebels, they were supposed to be executed, but it was you who saved them so that they were exiled to Liaodong instead. Now that you're about to co-opt them into your command, aren't you afraid that someone will impeach you? ”

Luo Cheng patted his brother on the shoulder.

"Fourth, don't look at what the situation is now. Although His Majesty has issued the holy decree of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, but I think, these three expeditions may not be successful, you look at the Central Plains now, although Yang Xuangan and Liu Yuanjin have been pacified, but the place is not peaceful, on the contrary, the more and more chaos is raging. ”

The emperor said three signs, but if the world does not obey, the emperor can't do it.

And he Luo Cheng was in Liaodong, but he might have to bear the pressure of Goguryeo alone, and maybe even in the end, the emperor Zhongyuan could not send a large army, but asked him to fight alone.

"It's better to plan ahead."

"Originally, after the Jiangdu was put down, hundreds of thousands of people would be exiled to Liaodong, but I learned that Wang Shichong was in chaos in Jiangnan, and now the entire Jiangnan is in chaos, and it is estimated that there will not be a few hundreds of thousands of displaced people at all."

The entire Liaodong is not a small number of soldiers and horses now.

Lushun has 6,000 soldiers, Jian'an has 4,000 soldiers, in addition to the first army left by Luo Yi in Liaodong, Xincheng also has an army led by Li Yuan to guard, in addition, Qu Tutong guards Liucheng, Wang Rengong guards Liaoxi.

The six counties together have more than 100,000 soldiers, but the two towns of Liaoxi and Liucheng are west of the Liao River.

Li Yuan was stationed in Xincheng and unified the army, Song Laosheng was stationed in Jian'an, with 4,000 and Luo Cunxiao stationed in Lushun with 6,000.

Luo Cheng, the military of eastern and western Liaoning, controlled the soldiers and horses of the six counties, but except for the two armies of Song Laosheng and Luo Cunxiao, it is estimated that the others are not very easy to control.

In fact, Liaodong and Liaoxi are not short of soldiers now, but the problem is that the supply is completely dependent on the Guannai, and the local area is simply unable to be self-sufficient.

Once the turmoil in the Central Plains continues, then this supply will be very difficult, even if there are 100,000 troops, they will not be able to hold on, and it is very likely that some troops will be withdrawn back at that time.

He now recruits rebel exiles, he has two plans, one is to enhance his strength as much as possible, and the other is to appease those who are not exiled, after all, many exiles are exiled by their entire families, and now there are people in the army as soldiers, which can always bring them closer rather than completely opposites.

"Cun Xiao, how many people are there in Lushun now?"

Hearing this, the fourth shook his head.

"There is no population, that is, our 6,000 garrisons, and then there are about 30,000 Goguryeo prisoners, and about a few thousand fishermen and merchants, but they are just here to fish and trade."

The 30,000 captives were left to build the city and fort last time.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment, "What about the people who were exiled before?" ”

"It's still in Arthur Port, there are several batches of people, about 10,000 people, I don't know how to settle it, let them build the castle together for the time being."

At this time, it is already autumn, and winter wheat can still be planted at this time.

"I brought about 20,000 displaced people this time, plus you here, there are also a total of 30,000 displaced people and 30,000 Goguryeo captives, and now in this season, you can still plant winter wheat, you have to suspend the construction of the city, and you have to rush to plant the wheat, so that there will be a harvest in the spring of the next year."

"We have food now, and we have been transporting it from Donglai."

"It won't be long before Donglai Port will freeze, and sailings will be suspended. Besides, what will happen to these captives and homeless people will they starve to death in winter? You have to prepare for the long term, and now you should plant in the autumn. ”

"How?" The fourth child is not interested in these things, and he doesn't know how to start.

Luo Cheng had already thought about this aspect when he came, and he had a plan in mind.

"In this way, among the 6,000 soldiers stationed in Lushun, you give each of them a hundred acres of land, and those outcasts and prisoners of crime shall also be given a hundred acres per ding. The soldiers' land is collectively cultivated and harvested by the sergeants, and the seeds and farm tools are all from your Lushun Yamen, and half of the harvested grain will be distributed to the soldiers, and half will be returned to the government as military food. ”

"The land cultivated by the displaced people and the prisoners of crime was rented to them by the yamen, and the grain harvested was 20 percent of the seeds, farm tools, cattle and so on, and the prisoners of the exiles received 30 percent, and the remaining 50 percent also went to the yamen."

This is a semi-military tun, the military tun is cultivated by the soldiers, and all the income goes to the barracks, but Luo Cheng can give full play to everyone's enthusiasm and seek some benefits for everyone, so the yamen only collects half of it in the end.

"Do you want to collect these rents?"

"Of course not, this is a military tun, and the income from the military tun is needed by the border army."

"If there is still a surplus of the field, it can be used as a public land or a field for public offices, and let people share the seeds, and half of the income will go to the tenants, and half will go to the public party or officials."

30,000 captives and 30,000 homeless people, of whom one-third are estimated to be young and strong, can cultivate about 20,000 hectares of land according to 100 acres, 6,000 garrisons and 6,000 hectares of garrisons, a total of less than 30,000 hectares.

There is still plenty of land.

"The rest of the fields will be given to the officers and soldiers to divide the fields of honor and yongye fields, and each soldier will first give fifty acres as the field of honor, and the remaining part will be given to those who have honors as the fields of honor."

"The rest are the public fields and the office fields."

"There is so much land, there are only so many people, and I can't plant it if I divide it."

Luo Cheng doesn't care if he grows it or not, it doesn't matter, it's a wasteland.

But if it is divided, it will be the land that belongs to the soldiers, and for these soldiers who are stationed in the Central Plains and come to the sea, this can undoubtedly enhance their feelings for this land.

"I can't plant it now, but I can still plant it in the future. I will also find a way to continue to immigrate from the Central Plains, and when the time comes, I will have land in my hands, so that I can give it to those displaced people to farm, and just sit back and wait for the rent to be collected, is this not a good thing for the brothers? ”

Now many people have not really regarded the land of Liaodong as belonging to the Central Plains, Goguryeo is not dead, and no one knows what kind of recurrence Liaodong will have.

Therefore, whether it is the court or the nobles, their hands have not yet been stretched out. Luo Cheng is going to hit this time difference now, since he came first, he has to get it first.

Divide the land first, and give it to the soldiers under your command, regardless of whether you plant it now or not, the land is your own.

"By the way, there is another thing you have to do, there are also many women among those captives, you pick out the unmarried among them, and then arrange them for the brothers stationed there, and let them take a concubine here."

"Concubine?" The fourth child couldn't understand what Luo Cheng was thinking in his head.

"Well, let the stationed brothers take Goguryeo women as concubines, have fields and women, and will have children in the future, then they will be stationed here with their hearts, understand?"

The fourth child exclaimed, "Are you planning not to go back in the future?" ”

"Just in case!"
