“…… With regard to the reorganization of the armed forces, the most important premise is how many armed forces can be supported by internal affairs. I need to get the relevant grain yield within a month, including the speed of production on the robes and weapons. In addition, the financial spillover in the county allowed the Fan, Lu, and Jia clans to buy horses, cattle and other livestock in Guanzhong, Longxi and other places in the form of private business. ”

Lu Zhede admitted that he had partially misjudged the shape of the south before, he originally thought that the cavalry was of little use in the southern battlefield, but this time he found one thing in the battle of Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, and Huizhang County, the south is a mountainous and river system, but the cavalry in many areas can still play a lot of advantages.

Horses are not only used for military purposes now, the animal power used in agriculture in Qindi, including the Central Plains, is to use horses to pull the fields, and the use of cattle is relatively less, which is probably related to the quality of the soil, and it is also quite related to the fact that there is no shortage of war horses in various places?

The previous source of horses was basically from Zhao Gao's pasture, and the number of horses obtained was between 15,000. Now that Zhao Gao is a little too busy to take care of himself due to various factors, it is difficult to provide horses on a large scale, and Lu Zhe plans to organize a cavalry of about 20,000, so the demand for war horses is between 40,000 and 50,000, which is something that Zhao Gao cannot do alone.

Now the only premise for buying horses from the private sector is that Daqin doesn't know if there are any restrictions on horse trading? Lu Zhe remembered that Great Qin didn't seem to have promulgated any laws restricting the sale of horses, and how could he say that Nan County, Hengshan County, and Cangwu County were still within the territory of Great Qin, and he himself was also the Marquis of Lu County and the general of Zhengnan of Great Qin, so should the purchase of horses from Qin land be restricted?

"The hoarding of copper is indeed a bit too much." Xiao He rarely said the last sentence.

Due to various reasons, Lu Zhe previously restricted the refining of copper ingots into coins, because he did not know that half of the taels of Great Qin were not all official products. In addition to the central workshop in the production of zuò half taels, Shu and Han have two families have workshops for making half taels, Shu is the Ba (widow Qing) family, and Han Di is the descendants of the surname Ji (one says that it is the Zhou royal family, the other is the Han royal family).

At this juncture. It is no longer the key whether Daqin allows private self-made zuò coins, and at the same time, Daqin really does not allow private self-made zuò coins without permission, Lu Zhe had more complicated concerns before, but he will not feel jealous now.

Nowadays, coins are not actually the main trading currency, and a large part of the private trade is still in the stage of bartering, and Lu Zhe, who has always been in the army, obviously does not know this. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know it, he can only buy livestock from a big family, so he must use currency, otherwise how to exchange things for things?

"How are you going to reorganize the army?" Yan Bi probably felt that he was asking a strange question, and added: "Do you want to cut the soldiers?" ”

That's a given. The number of troops is too large and too mixed, and a large number of troops does not mean that the military strength is strong, and Lu Zhe also understands that the grain looted from the Baiyue people will run out one day, and it is necessary to reorganize the army first when there is still food in stock, and it is impossible to leave the problem until the situation arises before being forced to make changes.

"In several major battles in a row, our army has won, and it will be discouraged in the stage of rewarding, which may cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers?" Yan Bi vaguely expressed a different opinion.

Although it was a temporary defeat of the Chu State, the danger on the Qin State's side was also lifted. But now is the time of great chaos in the world, and the various forces wish that the army should be as large as possible, and they can't understand how Lu Zhe can do the opposite.

"I remember who just said that the people were overwhelmed?" Lu Zhe remembered wrongly, he said that labor is extremely poor. But no one is going to correct it. He talked about the ratio of the people to the soldiers, and then talked about the social structure, and then talked about the role of soldiers and non-soldiers on the battlefield this time, and finally said: "The structure of the army and the people should be appropriate." That's the key to my need for annual grain production. As for the dissatisfaction of the soldiers? If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have no merit, you will be appeased. ”

Kuaitong pulled Yan Bi, who was still opposing. The composition of the army in the army has become ten times more complicated than before, and he advises Yan Bi not to express his opinions indiscriminately if he does not understand the situation.

Yan Bi was afraid that the military would be dissatisfied with the disarmament, so he ignored Kuaitong's hint and said to Lu Zhe very cautiously: "Please also ask the Lord to consult the opinions of the generals and colonels before making a conclusion." ”

Lu Zhe nodded to himself: "Next, the garrisons of the various armies have to be discussed, and I will ask them one by one." ”

Xiao He, who didn't speak much, understood, they seemed to be thinking of where to speak, there was no certain process, so he pinched the bamboo slips in his sleeves countless times and didn't know whether to take out the prepared numbers, those were his existing records of the fields.

The hall was silent when Lu Zhe finished speaking, and when Xiao He was hesitating whether to take out the number jù or not, and let Lu Zhe have a score on the number of acres as soon as possible, someone outside told him.

"The Korean envoy Liang, the Wei envoy Wei, the two of them asked to see each other."

Zhang Liang asked to see him once two quarters of an hour ago, and now he is pulling Wei Bao to ask for a meeting, is there something important that must be seen?

Xiao He saw that Lu Zhe intended to meet him, he felt that the relationship between the fields and acres was important, and finally took out the bamboo slips in his sleeves: "Lord, this is a brief record of the statistics of the subordinates on the fields and acres of Nanjun, Cangwu County, and Hengshan County. ”

Lu Zhe had just opened his mouth to signal that Zhang Liang and Wei Bao would be invited to the front hall, when Xiao He suddenly came and made him stunned a little.

What are the records of the acres in the three counties? It seems that Xiao He has only been in charge of civil affairs for half a month, and he has always had to ensure the grain and straw of the front-line army in this half month, so he still has the energy to count the acres of land in the three counties?

Lu Zhe's eyes looked over from Yan Bi, Kuaitong, and Mian Biao one by one, each of these three guys was in charge of civil affairs for a longer time than Xiao He, but Xiao He put his energy into counting the acres of land?

Xiao He was apprehensive when he saw Lu Zhe's actions, and he had already sensed that something was wrong.

Kuai Tong looked like he was smiling, he was in charge of civil affairs was Lu Zhe's unavailable person, at that time, he was about to solve the difficulties of immigrants in the north, it was purely to catch ducks on the shelves, and it was normal to do nothing to count the acres of land, right?

Over there, Mian Bi and Yan Bi looked at each other, and they could see each other's embarrassment.

He was changed from being in charge of the army to being in charge of the people, and his achievements in business were very good, and he finally left his merits.

What about Yan Pi? He was a county in Yandi, and when he was in charge of civil affairs, Lu Zhe seemed to get a southern county, and it seems that he didn't do much when he was in charge of civil affairs, and even poked a lot of baskets, so he was transferred to be in charge of diplomacy, and later became a secret agent.

Lu Zhe glanced at them with his eyes, and then took the bamboo slip handed by Xiao He, and when he opened it, he found that Xiao He had checked the previous records and the statistics made by the newly added acres of land later. This kind of statistics is obviously not field-based, but he feels that Xiao He doesn't seem to have the time to do any field-trips, and it is very good to be able to do this.

"I have a heart." Lu Zhe looked at Xiao He with an admiring gaze and nodded frequently.

Xiao He saw that the other three people were also looking at him kindly, and he didn't seem to notice any unpleasant feelings between the three of them, and his originally anxious mood slowed down a little. To be honest, he really didn't want to offend his colleagues, and it was a good thing that the three of them didn't feel offended.

In fact, which accountant is better than Yanbi, Xuanpao, and Kuaitong? They knew very well that Lu Zhe was extremely short of civil affairs talents, and it was too late to rejoice in Xiao He's talent in civil affairs, how could they care so much.

Lu Zhe glanced around at everyone again, and finally stopped at Xiao He: "Since Mr. Xiao has already started to do it, the matter of counting acres of land will be handed over to Mr. After speaking, he glanced at the other three again.

"It's the best thing to do." The three of them said in unison.

Is that okay too? Xiao He, who felt that he had only been here for a long time, knew very well that this appointment was very important, and he was a little dazed for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw everyone looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but hurriedly salute: "I am willing to serve the Lord." ”

Only now did Lu Zhe have the strength to look out of the door, where the soldiers who came to pass the ceremony still maintained a saluting posture: "Invite the two envoys to the front hall." ”

The armor sergeant who had been waiting for a long time received a reply and saluted again, "Hey! "Stand down.

"Lord," Yan Bi's smile was a little mocking no matter how you looked at it: "Han soldiers are only 10,000, and Wei Wolf bèi fled from Xinzheng to Xincai." Although the two sides are called kings, their strength is inferior to that of some army leaders. ”

"You can't say that," Kuaitong pulled his beard and said with a smile, "Why are they all queens of the royal family." ”

Yan Bi saw the ill-intentioned from the smile on Kuaitong's face, but he understood Kuaitong's personality, this guy didn't look like a legalist at all, many times he was more like a miscellaneous family, he should have thought of what Han Wei could use?

The royal family, the more Lu Zhe understands the current years, even the era when the fallen phoenix is more noble than a chicken. Even if some princes and grandsons have nothing, they can still be treated with corresponding courtesies wherever they go, which is a kind of affection that ordinary people have for the royal family for thousands of years and do not know how to describe it.

"Wait for me to change into your clothes, and then go with me to meet the two envoys." Lu Zhe slowly stood up, he couldn't dress to meet Zhang Liang and Wei Bao, otherwise he would be regarded as extremely disrespectful.

The four of them watched Lu Zhe walk into the back hall, Yan Bi suddenly looked at Xiao He and said with a smile: "There were three counties in the past, plus Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, Mr. Xiao is busy. ”

Xiao He didn't understand what he meant, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

"Well, that sour look is annoying." Kuaitong interrupted: "With this kung fu envy Mr. Xiao being reused, it is better to think about how to share the worries of the Lord next." ”

Yan Bi was not only envious, but also jealous, and he did not hide these two points at all.

Xiao He was a little confused, and looked at Yan Bi in embarrassment, not knowing what to say. He knew that Yan Bi had accompanied Lu Zhe from the most difficult time to the present, and if Yan Bi intended to make things difficult, then the future would definitely not be easy.

"Haha! Mr. Xiao, don't mind, he is such a person, there is nothing wrong. He smiled heartily: "He used to be in charge of the civil affairs of Nanjun, but he was messed up and punished by the Lord. He was just joking, not malicious. ”

Yan Bi snorted.

The fox looked at Yan Bi suspiciously, and Xiao He looked at Yan Bi and Kuai Tong again. He thought it was a strange way to get along with each other. (To be continued......)
