As for the army, Li Yi also made a large-scale reform this time.

The new Youzhou Army is divided into three types of troops.

The first type is the Han Border Army, which is directly under the General's Mansion, with a size of 120,000. Among them, 20,000 were commanded by Zhang Jaw to guard Liaodong, and the other 100,000 were stationed in the five western counties.

The second type of army is the county soldiers who maintain local security, and the size of the army is maintained between 2,000 and 5,000 according to the population and economic situation of each county. For example, counties such as Shanggu, Yuyang, and Liaodong, which have a large population and are in the border areas, can form 5,000 county soldiers, while counties such as Liaodong vassal states, as well as Guangyang and Zhuo counties, which are in the interior, have relatively few county soldiers, generally two or three thousand. In the entire seven counties under Li Yi's control, the number of county soldiers formed by him was temporarily controlled by him at the scale of 30,000 people. This type of army is considered a reserve force for later generations.

The scale of the third type of army is very terrifying, including all Youzhou personnel who need military training, militia, cantonment troops, engineering troops, etc., and so on, almost including all men between the ages of 14 and 50 in the seven counties under the direct jurisdiction of the state governor, the number has reached 2 million.

Speaking of which, there is a problem that has to be said, that is, the ratio of men and women in Youzhou today is in a very embarrassing situation. The seven counties under Li Yi's rule have a total population of more than 4.5 million, but the number of women is only 1.5 million, and the ratio of men to women has reached 2:1.

The main reason for this situation is that when the Yellow Turban Army was exterminated last year, Li Yi received nearly 700,000 prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army and took in nearly one million displaced people. Most of these people are men. As a result, the ratio of men and women in Youzhou is completely out of control.

In order to change this situation, Li Yi has already ordered to go down, and the Li Chamber of Commerce will start next year. Not only do you have to sell goods, but you also have to be a human trafficker, mainly to buy a large number of school-age women from all over the country, and then bring them to Youzhou, so as to change the dilemma of a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in Youzhou.

Fortunately, now that the Han Dynasty has just experienced a large-scale war, except for Youzhou, there is no shortage of women in other states and counties, or even a surplus of women, and this task is not difficult to complete.

Thinking that he had become a "heinous" human * trafficker, Li Yi felt embarrassed. This person is really forced in many cases.

………………

All affairs in Youzhou are proceeding at a high pace, and time is passing rapidly.

On this day, Li Yi met with Cheng Pu, who rushed back to Quanzhou City from Drifting Yujin to report the situation, and when he came out of the council room, it was already the time when the moon was full.

Three days later is Chinese New Year's Eve, and after the victory, the mansion is lit up with lights, and the festive atmosphere cannot even be covered by the cold wind. A warm spring is coming.

"Lang Jun is fine." Most of the servants in the past were old people in the palace before Li Yi raised the army, and when they saw Li Yi, they all had a look of awe on their faces, but they still used the previous titles.

This is the custom of this era. and all the men of the city were called kings. Young children from large families like Li Yi are usually called Langjun, and if they have an official position, they will be named after the official position. Such as: envoys, commanders, and so on.

Li Yi was still a little uncomfortable when he heard it, and the meaning of "Lang Jun" in later generations was not "young master", and he got used to it after a long time. Titles like "so-and-so". It's more comfortable than those adults in later generations, masters, villains, slaves and the like.

Quanzhou City is not big, and Li Yi's handling of important military and political affairs is not so clear, and what can be handled at home will be handled at home, and the specific division will be discussed when Jixian County is rebuilt.

Think about it, since I came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, I was destined to be a hard life.

When he first came to this era, the Li family was in a predicament of hunger and cold, and in order to survive, he had to work hard to make money.

Later, life gradually got better, but for a better life and for his hegemony, he still ran around and never had idle.

Then there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year, and there was very little leisure for the whole year. Either fighting against the Yellow Turban Army, or entering Beijing to face the saint, returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, recruiting talents, and then returning to Youzhou is all kinds of busy.

I thought I could take a break this year, but the plan always couldn't catch up with the changes, and with the beginning of the Liaodong rebellion, my plan to take the four counties of Liaodong was completely disrupted, and then it was more than half a year of campaigning. By the time the war was over, it was already the end of the year.

Perhaps, next year will be a little easier? Li Yi thought a little uncertainly.

According to his plan, in the next three years of Zhongping, there will be no major military operations in Youzhou. After two consecutive years of conquest, Youzhou was initially decided, and it was the time to recuperate.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Li Yi heard a burst of laughter like silver bells, followed the sound and looked over, and saw Zou Yuniang and Bian Yuer surrounded by a group of women like stars and moons, their faces were red and coquettish.

"Eh, you broken mouths, if you talk nonsense, I won't introduce General Zilong to you."

A tall, melon-faced girl smiled and said, "Hey, what's that?" Although General Zilong was born handsome, he was too serious, and his face was like a god in the Taoist temple, if he wanted to be as scary, he was scary, not a good match, not a good match. ”

Another girl with a round baby face also said: "No, General Ziyi is not good, he is also very handsome, but his temperament is too fierce, which makes people look so scared." ”

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl next to her, who looked round and jade, also smiled and said: "If you want me to say that General Pengju is actually good, not only is he handsome, but he also has a good temperament, but unfortunately he already has a family, and I heard that Mrs. Yue is the most jealous......"

A girl with a slender figure and a pair of dreamy and innocent big eyes spoke: "Yes, if you want to marry Li Pengfei, a young hero, and you have the name of wind and flow, which woman doesn't love it?" I'm afraid that a few sisters will knock over the vinegar jar and don't allow us to enter the door, hehe. ”

"Qiao Niang, Xiao Juan, Ah Zhi, Wanyi, you dead girls," Zou Yuniang and Bian Yu'er said angrily, "Talk nonsense, see if we don't tear your mouth apart." ”

For a while, there was a mess in the backyard, and the women joked while dodging, giggling and laughing.

These girls are the current maids of the Li family, and most of them are some hard-working girls taken in by Li Yi's mother Xun a few years ago.

Now, with the prominence of the Li family, these girls have finally come to a happy life and live a happy life.

Li Yi was not interested in the gossip of girls, and was trying to avoid them, but he never expected that sharp eyes caught a glimpse of him, and screamed: "The prince is here." ”

The laughter stopped abruptly, except for Zou Lin and Bian Yu'er, who were still looking around blankly, all the women squatted down and saluted together, and said softly: "See the prince." ”

Li Yi touched his nose, so embarrassed, okay, this posture is like a harem......

When the girls saw Li Yi coming, they dispersed one after another after saying goodbye, and they were busy with their own things, only Zou Lin and Bian Yuer followed behind Li Yi and walked to Li Yi's mother Xun's room together.

In this way, the scene is a little awkward. This was mainly triggered by an incident that happened the other day.

It turned out that because the two girls had been following Li Yi's mother Xun for a long time, she fell in love with these two beautiful girls with very good personalities. Especially Bian Yuer, who has big milk and a round butt and looks good, has won the favor of the Xun family.

Therefore, when Xun chatted with Yue Fei's mother and talked about the marriage between Li Yi and Cai Yan next spring, he said that he wanted Li Yi to accept Zou Lin and Bian Yuer together.

Then, the news spread in the courtyard of the Li family, and a group of little girls often teased Zou Lin and Bian Yuer with this, and Li Yi heard it more than once. Although the little girls did not dare to tease him because of his majesty, they inevitably felt embarrassed when they heard it.

Li Yi didn't know what to say, so Qian Crisp pulled the topic away and asked, "What were you talking about just now?" ”

Zou Lin and Li Yi have a closer relationship, and after listening to Li Yi's words, she immediately said coquettishly: "You have to ask ...... girl's whisper."

And Bian Yu'er, who was on the side, had just faded red, and when she looked at Li Yi again, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

Seeing her look of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Yi asked with a smile: "Yu'er, you don't really want to be a matchmaker, do you?" ”

"It's not a solution for the sisters to be so idle in the house all the time." Li Yi was just joking, but Bian Yu'er actually nodded and replied seriously, "Everyone is very grateful that you don't treat them as ...... Well, they used to look like that, but they felt uncomfortable just like this as the eldest lady in the house. Besides, the sisters are not too young, and getting married is a way out, don't look at what they just said, in fact, it's all wrong. Qiao Niang's Nizi loves General Zilong, and she still reads General Zilong's name in her dreams. ”

"That's right." Li Yi was happy, "That's not right, you and Yu Niang will help them be matchmakers." ”

"You......" Zou Lin and Bian Yuer looked at Li Yi without resentment, knowing that he didn't hear the hint in the words, the two of them don't have official names now, how can they be matchmakers?

However, men are like this, and it is indeed too demanding to expect them to be meticulous.

Zou Lin and Bian Yu'er glanced at each other and quietly changed the topic, Bian Yu'er asked, "What about the others?" ”

"I'm in charge of that, too?" In fact, the two girls were deliberately looking for a topic, thinking about spending more time together, but Li Yi didn't notice it, this request made him scratch his head, and after thinking about it, he simply waved his hand and said with a big grin, "That's good, you organize a blind date meeting, so that they can meet some generals and colonels in the army who are not married." Anyway, many generals and colonels in the army are unmarried, which just helped them solve major life events. ”

"Huh?" This time it was Zou Lin and Bian Yu'er's turn to be stunned. (To be continued.) )
