Luo Shang people are like a tide, and 10,000 households live in 100 squares.

Although strictly speaking, the current pattern of Luoyang City is only 81 squares, but the real number of people is not more than 10,000 households.

Qitai once made a more detailed statistics in the sixth year of Xingtai, and there were more than 47,000 households in Luoyang City at that time. This is only the registered households, and does not include the military forces requisitioned in various places, the hard labor captured on the battlefield, and the army that entered the Luogong Guard.

Of course, this number is not very accurate now, six years after Qitai, Luoyang City has not yet been built, and at least one-third of the planned square area is still idle or under construction.

In the second half of the seventh year of Qitai, although there was a large-scale war in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the main mobilization was still concentrated between the three prefectures of Qingdao, Yan and Xu, which did not have much impact on the operation and development of Luoyang.

The seventh year of Qitai is also a year of the provincial affairs of Xingtai, with the general west tour of Chang'an, the full recovery of Guanzhong came to an end, although then there was a war in northern Shaanxi, but it was mainly participated by the military government of various roads, and many civilian troops sent to Chang'an before began to withdraw from Luoyang on a large scale.

In addition, when the western expedition to Guanzhong a few years ago, they took care of many hard laborers, they repaid their sins, and after several years of labor, they also began to gradually release their naturalization, and the main place of residence was Luoyang.

Therefore, although the distance from the last census is not too far, the number of registered households in Luoyang has increased very significantly, and now it is conservatively estimated that the number of residents in Luoyang City has reached at least 60,000.

With 60,000 households, even if it is only estimated by the most conservative family of five, the residents of Luoyang City have exceeded 300,000. Again, this does not include those who are in service and in the military.

Compared with the population of some prosperous capitals in history, the population of Luoyang City of 300,000 is not very remarkable. But today's Xingtai, has not yet taken up the homeland, far from the unification, and the formal large-scale construction is still after the Qitai reform, during which Xingtai is still fully implementing the western line strategy, to this day, has Jiangdong's Jiankang City far behind.

Luoyang was able to have such a large scale in just a few years, mainly because after the general established the status of the first person in the court in the chaos pass, he also determined the idea of Xingzhi, that is, to fully promote the construction of regional center nodes, and use these Dayi as nodes to build a network to achieve the effect of drawing the region.

Because in the past few years, not only Luoyang has developed rapidly, but also Yuhang in Jiangdong, Guangling in Huainan, Pengcheng in Huaibei, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Yuzhang and other places, all of which have different degrees of progress.

Concentrating manpower and material resources on regional nodes can not only greatly improve the efficiency of various resource scheduling and allocation, but more importantly, it can greatly reduce the cost of administrative management.

Although Xingtai has also been cultivating talents for general affairs and officials in the past few years, and has cooperated with the first soldiers to return to farming and enter the township, if it is applied to all the areas under governance, it will not reach the point of completely replacing the township heroes.

Too laissez-faire manpower and material resources to disperse the countryside, these local tyrant sects still have a large area of shelter. At present, the military is still the priority, and there is not much energy to build a supervision system covering the countryside, and this strategy is also a temporary expediency.

In these regional cities where people gather, there are also state schools and county schools to reserve relevant talents. When the military pressure is relieved and the four sides are stabilized, they can push the vigorous people to return to their hometowns, and attack the order of the clans and villages that still exist in the countryside with the momentum of breaking the embankment.

However, even with the supervision of the government decree of the line, the development of Luoyang City to its current scale has temporarily reached a critical point. It is difficult to make further improvements until the overall situation has changed drastically.

In the entire Heluo area today, all the people and households have to be used to maintain the scale of Luoyang City today. Even if this is still a little insufficient, it still needs to be supplemented by several counties in southern Henan.

But the benefits of this gathering of resources were also great, and the general returned to Luoyang in mid-October and officially issued an order to levy troops to launch a general attack on Hebei next year. Approaching the end of the year, more than 50,000 people have been mobilized in Luoyang alone, and they have been dispatched to Xingyang, Hanoi and other places to pave the way for the assembly of armies from all walks of life.

Therefore, the dispatch of the July army as stated in the ultimatum issued by the General's Office to Hebei at the beginning of the year was also quite confusing. After the addition from Jiangdong, in May, Wang Shi was basically able to attack the country in the north on a large scale.

Even if there is still some reluctance in terms of material use, after the summer of May, the back road water transport, including the sea transport that can be directly connected to Huiji, can also complete the second round of supplements in September and October.

Because it is the entire line of the industry at the moment, there is no martial arts, and it can be said that they are all sharpening their knives and waiting to be slaughtered. As for other matters, they must be put aside for the time being.

After the Shangsi Festival in March, the situation of the unrest in Liaodi was reported back to Luoyang. Because during last year's war, Wang Shi had already begun to touch the Bohai Sea and set up coastal strongholds, which greatly shortened the period of transmitting news with Liaodong.

After learning the news, Shen Zhezi was also sincerely happy, and said to everyone with emotion: "Wen Hongzu is talented, and he is chasing his father, and the big thing can be entrusted!" ”

Shen Zhezi's joy was not only because of how much the turmoil in Liaodi would cause to the state of Qian in the subsequent war. The situation has developed to this point, and the pace of Wang Shi's northward advance is by no means something that can be affected by Liaodi, which is in a remote corner.

In the past few months, the situation in Hebei has undergone new changes. Needless to mention, as Xingtai issued an ultimatum and vowed to exterminate the country, Ma Qiu of Yedi finally couldn't bear the pressure and gave up Yedi to evacuate in the direction of Xiangguo.

The retreat of the Yedi army meant that the complete Yellow River front had been mastered by the Wang Division, and Xingtai could assemble and invest troops at any point along the river line without being harassed by the army, and the southern Hebei region east of the Taihang Mountains was already within reach. The early battle after Wang Shi crossed the river will not be hindered in any way, and it is advisable to take advantage of this sharp situation to directly attack the last main force of the Qi Kingdom supported by Shi Hu!

Therefore, even if nothing happens in Liaodi, the war in May is a foregone conclusion! Even the Jingzhou army has already invaded Hanzhong and asked to continue to send more forces to attack Yidu, and the approval of Xingtai is only to do what it can, in order to concentrate more forces into the most critical battle of the Northern Expedition!

The reason why the Jingzhou army asked Xingtai for reinforcements was because the troops of Longyou Yumanzhi suddenly withdrew from Hanzhong, while the main force of the Jingzhou army was staying in Bajun and Jiangyang, and was attacking the Shanyue, Fuman and other tribes that depended on the Han Dynasty. Yu Manzhi's evacuation reduced the pressure on the northern part of Decheng Hanyi Prefecture, making it difficult for the Jingzhou army to advance further.

As for Yu Manzhi's evacuation, there is nothing to be done. In the middle of last year, Zhang Jun of Liangzhou died suddenly, and when the news came, the general had already left Guandong for a trip, and when he learned the news, he was not too surprised, but only ordered the officials of Xingtai to make a little posthumous gift after deliberation, and passed on the decree to support his heir Zhang Chonghua.

At present, Xingtai does not have more energy to interfere in the affairs of Liangzhou or even take it back completely, and the order of the heirs of Liangzhou is also very clear that Zhang Jun has established the status of his heir Zhang Chonghua when he is alive. Zhang Chonghua, a young man, Shen Zhezi also had a little contact and scrutiny in Guanzhong, and his basic mind was quite normal, and after seeing the underlying strength of Xingtai, he was also expected to maintain his father's vassal line unchanged.

In this case, the platform only needs to push the boat down the river, and as for the future, it will be discussed later. But the accident still happened, when Zhang Jun died, Zhang Chonghua was still on the way back, and his cousin Zhang Zuo connected a group of Zhang clansmen, called Zhang Jun's will, and let him supervise the military of Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, and Xihai counties, which can basically be regarded as the meaning of dividing land with Zhang Chonghua.

The Zhang clan in Liangzhou was in turmoil, which Shen Zhezi also predicted, but after determining that he would not directly interfere in the affairs of Liangzhou in a short period of time, he did not pay too much attention to it. Even in his heart, he was not happy to see Zhang Jun's sons discord with each other, but now that Zhang Zuo is doing this, he has the intention of refusing to accept Zhang Chonghua's return to the town if he does not agree to his request, and Xingtai always has to show the attitude of the sect master.

Because it was Shen Zhezi who ordered Yu Manzhi to temporarily collect his troops, and transferred the troops that attacked Qiuchi and Hanzhong back to Longxi and other counties, on the one hand, he sent troops to escort Zhang Chonghua back to the town and succeeded him, and on the other hand, he ensured that Zhang's family affairs disputes did not affect the situation in Longyou.

As for the offensive loopholes brought about by the return of the Longyou army, they can only be filled by the Xiangyang army led by Mao Bao first, but if you want to restore the previous situation, it will definitely take a few months of adjustment period. He also gave orders to all the men and horses on this line to ensure that there would be no major reversal in the war, and that it would not affect this year's battle in Hebei.

In short, all affairs under Taiwan at present must revolve around the subsequent war in Hebei, and this point will never waver.

In Liaodi, since Xingtai has not been able to directly intervene so far, it is more complicated than other places. Wen Fangzhi will not receive direct support from Wang Shi, and he can also use Liu Qun and other Liu Kun's remnants to incite the local forces in Liaodi, causing not a small turmoil and bringing direct and practical distress to the country, which is really commendable.

Among them, Wen Fangzhi's ability in all aspects made Shen Zhezi feel particularly gratified. This young man is no longer the childish young man he was when Jiankang first saw him, he has been training in the north over the years, although he has not performed brilliantly and amazingly, but as long as he can seize the opportunity, he has not let it go.

Not only is it warm, but in recent years, more and more people have gradually shown their edge, and many people already have the talent to work together and conclude a new prosperous era, which is also what makes Shen Zhezi feel very excited.

Because in recent years, Xingtai, or the entire Jin court, has reached the point where it has to be replaced. Although the restructuring of Qitai was carried out once, it was not completely at that time, due to various considerations, many Zhongxing old people are still in the vacant position, but now it has gradually withered.

Including now, when Shen Zhezi received the summons from Liaodi, he was not in the Xingtai official office, nor in his general's mansion, but in He Chong's mansion, and came to mourn He Chong.
