Turning back to Jiangling, Lu Zhe returned to his residence before he could raise his teacup, but Yan Bi walked in: "County Lord, the people you sent earlier are already on their way back. ”

There was no beginning or end to what he said, and Lu Zhe was a little confused when he heard it.

There were a lot of people who were sent from Nanjun to various places before and after, some of them were sent back to Guanzhong to contact Zhao Gao, Xu Yan, and Meng Yi, some were sergeants sent to Surabaya County, Donghai County, and Huiji County to invite people, and more were sent to various counties as spies for detailed work.

"Where are the people back?" Lu Zhe took a sip of cold tea and put down the teacup casually, and as soon as the words fell, Yixiu actually came out of the inner tent, walked over with the tea, and walked back to the inner tent.

Now it was Yan Bi's turn to be stunned, it was very strange how that girl could be in the county lord's tent, and it seemed that Lu Zhe had long been accustomed to this scene?

"It's only been a month since I went to Changsha County, when did the county lord have such a little lady?" Yan Bi held back the curiosity in his heart, and said with a fixed mind: "It was the garrison over there that sent someone to report that it was the sergeant you sent to Surabaya County to protect a person named Guan Ying who had arrived in Anlu. ”

"Baby-filling?" Lu Zhehuo stood up: "Let's talk about it carefully." ”

The information reported by An Lu was a little brief, just stating that he arrived in Surabaya and quickly found Pei County, and now he is back to his life.

Unable to understand what had happened from such a brief message, Lu Zhe hurriedly called the wings to come in and ordered: "You personally take the people to Anlu as soon as possible, and bring the people who have returned from Surabaya to Jiangling." ”

The flail replied: "Hey! ”

Guan Ying is Xiao He's right and left hand, he is a county lieutenant in Pei County, and he has a little reputation in the local area, and the people sent to Surabaya can bring Guan Ying back, at least it means that they have indeed found someone.

Nanjun has been owned by Lu Zhe, and the government affairs of the entire county have been overwhelming him, if Xiao He can be abducted to Nanjun, then Xiao He will be the best candidate to manage civil affairs.

About two months ago, Lü Zhe sent 150 sergeants to Surabaya. I don't know why Lu Dao came back twenty people with only one baby, it seems that there are some stories in it.

There is a distance of more than 200 miles from Jiangling to Anlu, and it takes a whole day to go quickly, and it is another day to bring the baby to Jiangling, and Lu Zhe is already a little impatient.

Yan Bi saw that Lu Zhe's face changed again and again, and he was mostly happy and expectant, and asked tentatively: "Is that baby irrigation very famous?" ”

"Famous?" Lu Zhe was surprised: "This person has some courage, and he is meticulous in his work, and he is a county lieutenant in Pei County, which can be regarded as a little famous." ”

Yan Bi smiled on his face. I don't know what Lu Dao is thinking.

At present, there are many brave people today, and there are not a few people in Nanjun who are extraordinary, but their positions in the army are not high, and most of them are appointed as 100 generals and 500 lords.

Yan Bi is very clear about the concept of the Qin army, Wu Yong is just a warrior in the Qin army, it is difficult to become a general, the Qin army emphasizes collectivity and discipline, and the role of individual martial arts is very low in battle.

In fact, the regular army really doesn't attach that much importance to martial arts. Only the undisciplined rabble needs to be brave enough to set the benchmark and use martial arts to boost the morale of the army.

The goals pursued by the army of Nanjun were no different from those of the Qin army, and they all emphasized the collectivity of wartime, and Yan Bi did not think that Lu Zhe was happy because he had obtained a fierce general.

"Remember what happened to you in Yangzhou County, right?" The anticipation on Lu Zhe's face could not be concealed at all.

"Is it the Peixian county man named Xiao He?" Yan Bi's eyes flickered. He heard Lu Zhe admiring the person named Xiao He more than once, and his logistics and organization skills, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

"That's him!" Lu Zhe subconsciously waved his right arm: "There are a lot of government affairs in Nanjun now, and the logistics of the army also need specialized talents to coordinate. It includes the military's operational, logistical, governmental, and diplomatic ...... There are so many things to focus on, and I'm already a little lacking. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhe was looking for Xiao He, he deliberately entrusted him with a heavy task. Yan Bi really can't be calm.

There are few people in charge of civil affairs in Nanjun at present, and Cha Cha Yan Bi is also one of them, and now Lu Zhe is interested in purging a more standardized department. It's a big deal. It wouldn't be a big deal if one of them was promoted as the chief officer, but Lu Zhe obviously wanted to entrust it to a newcomer, so how could it?

"County Lord, I don't know what to say?" No matter what kind of mentality it is, Yan Bi saw Lu Zhe's signal, and said dryly: "Your subordinates all start from the end with you, and they may not have extraordinary talents, but they are all dedicated to their hearts." If an outsider is just out of your expectations, and he gets a high position without even an inch of merit, I'm afraid ......"

How could it be! Lu Zhe knew too well the mentality of the gang of people under him, so he would not do such a thing.

Everything is too much, Xiao He was entrusted with a high position as soon as he came, not only the old people in Nanjun were not convinced, but even Xiao He would be frightened and retreated.

"You're very good." expressed an attitude, and Lu Zhe's eyes became deep: "I will make good use of every person who follows me." ”

"Yes, with the current situation, the interior of South County is mainly stable." Yan Bi felt that he had fulfilled his responsibilities and achieved the desired goal: "You are a wise person, and we know this very well. ”

"Huh." Is it wise? Probably not. Lu Zhe is very clear about his position, he just knows how to make profits, life is to live for all kinds of goals and dreams, give them the treatment they deserve, and gather a group of people to serve them, this has been the case throughout the ages.

After the reminder was finished, Yan Bi wanted to retire, but as if he thought of something, he saluted first, and then said: "Nanjun now has a population of 1.6 million, more than 500,000 are building fortifications, new cities, and water conservancy, nearly 400,000 are being coordinated by you to make armor and other things, and thirteen 'Yuecheng' are urgently forging weapons. ”

Almost all the manpower that can be used is being used, but because it is paid labor, this wealth is also flowing out of the country in a "boom", although this can avoid the people being overwhelmed in the form of forced labor, Lu Zhe has never been stingy in the use of wealth, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why he can gain a firm foothold so quickly.

"Huh?" Lu Zhe is proud of the full integration and utilization of the people's power in Nanjun, and some don't understand what Yan Bi is trying to remind him of.

"There are nearly 180,000 acres of land in Linyuan Zhou in Qianzhong County, which is the land that has been developed and 'ripe', and they are now your private industry." Yan Bi thought for a while: "There are 230,000 acres of land registered in Nanjun, of which 60,000 hectares can also be regarded as your industry. ”

Originally, there would have been more acres of land in Nanjun, but in order to make way for the new city, only more than 3,000 hectares of land were newly developed. Some of the government land in other counties is being developed by the Tuntian soldiers, and there will be more acres of land as time goes by.

At present, the annual output of one mu is about three stones, and there are 100 acres of grain, and what Yan Bi wants to express is probably that if there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters and proper operation, Lu Zhe will not be short of food in the future.

Lu Zhe bowed: "The ladle has already transferred out 200,000 stone of grain, waiting for the people from Sanchuan County to come over and pay it to Xianyang as the tax of Nanjun this year." ”

200,000 stone is not much, Yan Bi doesn't care about this, his tone is a little tactful: "The construction of Nanjun requires too much labor, you are not allowed to use the 'gold' of minerals, and you will reward most of the wealth captured in the battle, and the wealth that can be used now ......"

In several battles with Baiyue, due to Baiyue's robbery of the people and the government, the amount of looted wealth and silk was too much, and the number of seizures before and after several battles with Baiyue by the Nanjun army was very large. Lu Zhe's concessions to the army and the people are actually not much, even if the share of the reward is removed, there are still 70,000 Eridium gold in the treasury, more than 1.3 million half taels, which was already a huge amount of wealth at that time, and you must know that the entire Qin State received less than 2 million Eridium from the people in a year.

The administrative structure of Nanjun was not very complicated, the newly mined minerals belonged to Lu Zhe, and the weapons and armor only needed to pay the craftsmen, and it was enough to pay the craftsmen, and it didn't cost much money.

The folk clans and gentry also had minerals and forges, but they were taxed on their sale, which was the source of most of the taxes in the southern county. The more the army procures, the more taxes they pay. Lü Zhe was in charge of Nanjun for almost six months, and a large number of workshops sprang up in the county, which were also the main force to provide taxes for Nanjun. It can be regarded as a virtuous circle in the economy.

In addition, due to the affluence of the people of Nanjun and the influx of merchants from other counties, they provided a large amount of taxes for Nangun, and at this stage, Nanjun is in a state of balance and there is no fiscal deficit.

The most beneficial thing for the government is that the army does not need military salaries, but only needs to be given food - food, just like the officials. Therefore, the government does not need much money, and the most important thing is still grain rather than money.

"The path you are currently choosing needs to rely on a lot of financial support," Yan Bi still made his words clear: "In Nanjun alone, your financial expenditure for half a year is more than 300,000 yuan. Next, you want to develop Qianzhong County, is the money enough? ”

Lu Zhe heard something from it, Yan Bi was not talking about the amount of wealth, he was suggesting the use of these wealth.

"At present, all counties are in war, and the amount of food among the people is insufficient, and those who have money cannot buy food." Lu Zhe is well aware of this situation.

"This time I went to Changsha County, and I privately bribed Wu Rui's generals," Yan Bi had a deep meaning: "As you often say, the wealth stored in the treasury is just a pile of metal. ”

It turned out that he was going to say this, Lu Zhe laughed "hehehe", and he looked at Yan Bi elegantly: "So, do you want to be in charge of 'vertical and horizontal'?" ”

Vertical and horizontal should be said in the whole sentence, that is, the combination of vertical and horizontal, and in the present it is diplomacy.

Yan Bi made a mistake in presiding over internal affairs some time ago, and according to the established rules now, it is impossible to participate in internal affairs in a short period of time. He had a lot of experiences in Changsha County, and felt that this was an errand that he could cope with. Moreover, he probably understood Lu Zhe's strategy for Changsha County, if he could rely on vertical and horizontal to obtain Changsha County, it would be a great achievement, and no one would be able to shake his position in Lu Zhe's heart at that time.
