………………………………………………

Lu Zhe knows very well why he will always achieve military victories, and the reason why he can defeat the strong every time is nothing more than a deep understanding of the truth of "attacking unpreparedness by surprise".

This attack on Qianzhong County once again embodied that concept in action, and when Nanjun was in turmoil and no one felt that it was impossible to start a war, it once again caught the Baiyue people who were preparing for war by surprise.

Is it the Baiyue people who are careless? No, not really. The current social structure is somewhat special, and the destructive effect of war on people's livelihood is very great, and it takes a lot of time to deal with it. Moreover, even if you want to send troops regardless of the people's livelihood, there will always be time to prepare, and the preparation cycle generally takes a long time.

Under this premise, anyone will have a fixed mindset, who would have thought that after the great turmoil, Nanjun did not recuperate, but was so quickly ready for war and launched a large-scale attack?

Nanjun actually attacked when he was short of food, it can be said that this military operation did not conform to the common sense of the war at that time, but it was precisely because he thought that although Baiyue was prepared, he did not pay attention to it, Lu Zhe was able to lead the army to easily capture Linyuan, and then took advantage of the unsmooth news to gradually expand the results of the battle.

Surprise attacks on unpreparedness are only effective in the early stages of the war, and waiting for the news to spread will be ineffective. Fortunately, there were no telephone, telegraph and other means of long-distance communication in these years, and the speed of news transmission was very slow, and it is estimated that when the news of the fall of Linyuan and other places in the Qianzhong County Governor's Mansion, the Qin army had already approached the city, and there was no difference between Zhilu Dao and Zhilu Dao at that time.

In addition to Su Lie, Mei Kai, and Wu Liang leading 30,000 soldiers to continue south along the Yuanshui, Gongwei, Ji Bu, Zhao Xian, and Kunchuan were organizing people to harvest the grain of the newly occupied territory.

Up to now. In this operation, Lu Zhe's unit had already seized 2.15 million stone of last year's old grain, and the lieutenant counted the acres of land occupied, and estimated that about 1.5 million stone of new grain could be plundered. Wealth, leather goods and other items are still being counted slowly because they are not too important, but the value should be very high.

If the attack on the Qianzhong County Mansion goes well, and Su Lie and the others will capture at least one million stone of grain, then the total amount of grain plundered by Nanjun from Qianzhong County will exceed four million and six hundred thousand stone of grain!

In addition, the number of leather goods captured in the repeated operations against Baiyue is very huge, and the leather goods captured in the previous battles, large and small, have exceeded 500 cars according to the calculation of "cars", and these have not counted the plundering of Qianzhong County.

The ladle, who was very interested in wealth, had specially calculated that the value of a "car" of leather goods was generally between 400 and 500 eridium. And this is still a preliminary calculation, if the precious leather goods are singled out and then sold through commercial means, the value will be higher.

Lu Zhe was not clear about the value of leather goods, and his way of dealing with leather goods was very simple, that is, to pick out the furs that were considered precious, and to classify those leathers that were suitable for armor.

Leather has always been one of the indispensable materials used in the manufacture of armor, and without leather armor, it cannot be manufactured. The structure of a piece of armor is everywhere but the role of leather is not expected, first of all, the inner layer of the armor is a layer of treated leather, and the link of the armor also needs leather, and the leather is needed to bind the armor.

Lu Zhe has always had a strong interest in things that could not be achieved before. For example, building a city or ...... Conceived a gorgeous armor. In his free time, he was figuring out how to create a set of armor that looked beautiful and had strong defense, and he had already drawn a few sketches, but he was not satisfied.

Lu Zhe is no stranger to management, and it should be said that he is very familiar with it. After all, there used to be an engineering team of 500 people.

After everything was deployed, Lu Zhe was not as busy as he imagined. To be honest, if you are too busy to keep your feet on the ground, you can only say that you are not the right leader.

A good leader is nothing more than categorizing things. Find out the corresponding talents to implement, the leader only exists as a deployer and coordinator, and when necessary, go down to inspect and inspect.

With Lu Zhe, he is in Nanjun as a co-ordination. Everything quickly got on track, and South County ushered in a peak period of development.

A large number of projects have recruited a large number of people, and the demand for goods has increased as they have money, and the number of vendors who have been pouring into Namgun has been surging recently.

Many of the vendors who came to South County first made a lot of money, and the news that there were a lot of business opportunities in South County was spread by them, and more vendors came to South County.

Some businessmen who felt that they were powerful came to Nanjun and asked to see Lu Zhe, mostly to ask for land to buy and build shops. Some merchants knew that there was now a large amount of leather goods in Daonan, and they were very discerning to eat it in one bite, and wanted to establish a purchase contract to achieve the purpose of monopoly. Some of the bold businessmen asked to go with the army and become businessmen.

Lu Zhe had met a lot of foreign businessmen before and after, and when he was wondering how the clans and gentry in the county were indifferent, those patriarchs and gentry really came.

In fact, the last time the patriarch and the gentry met Lu Zhe with Yan Bi was to talk about something, but at that time, Lu Zhe was angry and fell into a short period of confusion, and they did not bother very much.

"You're just in time!" Lu Zhe looked at the patriarchs and gentry who came together: "I have some things for you to do. ”

The patriarchs of the three major clans in Nanjun were all there, and a middle-aged man named Fanxian took the lead in giving his hand: "Please give the Lord orders." The rest of the people hurriedly followed and saluted.

Lu Zhe casually invited everyone to sit down: "Recently, there have been a lot of foreign businessmen, and a large amount of goods have poured into Nanjun, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for Nanjun. ”

At this time, it is estimated that no one knows the concept of economic plunder, Lu Zhe is not very clear but not completely ignorant of Lu Dao, he is happy that the tax has increased, but he is also worried that a large number of goods have poured into Nanjun and swept too much money out.

"In addition to the large number of seized leather goods, Nanjun also produces a lot of special products, you are all from Nanjun, what special products must be very clear," Lu Zhe looked at the people present, and saw that someone showed a clear look, and was a little happy for a while: "I have some thoughts here." Speak up and discuss with you. ”

"The lord general is too polite," Lu Nan, one of the three major clans, straightened his waist and bowed his hand: "But please command!" ”

"No, no, no!" Lu Zhe smiled and said, "It's not an order, but a discussion." ”

The gentleness of the superior can buy people's hearts very much, and these people present have more or less received Lu Zhe's favor, and now they are even more respectful when they see Lu Zhe amiable.

"Merchants from other counties can enter Nanjun, and you can also sell the goods of Nanjun to other counties," Lu Zhe said and narrowed his eyes: "I have a general understanding of those merchants from outside, they are all wealthy and hired warriors, or guards formed by the young men of their own clan. Rao is like this, there will be a large number of caravans that have been sacked by the rebels on the way to Nanjun, and most of the goods have been lost if they can come to Nanjun. ”

Someone is confused. Someone had already guessed what Lu Zhe was going to say next.

Those who guessed what Lu Zhe was going to say, their expressions all became extremely excited.

Nowadays, no matter whether the situation is chaotic or not, there are accompanying escorts when going out, and the scale of the business generally depends on the number of goods carried. This is still the case in times of peace, let alone times of chaos?

"You must have come here to ask if the county supports merchants, right?" Seeing that they kept nodding, Lu Zhe smiled heartily: "That's exactly what I want to talk about." The accompanying guards of other counties are hired with a lot of money, but there is no need for this in Nanjun. I have a proposal that if you are traveling to the county or abroad, you can ask the garrison in the county to send an army to accompany you, so that you don't have to send any more goods. If you have to pay all the dead and wounded of the accompanying army, you will not have to pay the pension, but all the pension will be borne by the future. It's a reward for your support of Ben. ”

Almost everyone wanted to cheer loudly. The cost of the guards hired by the caravan brigade was generally large, and the presence of regular military escorts not only eliminated the need for additional use. The combat effectiveness of the regular sergeants is not comparable to those guards, how can they be unhappy?

Some of the people who thought more were even more bright-eyed, they knew this advantage too well, even if they had a clansman who could form an escort team. But that was just the power of the people, and Lu Zhe used the regular army as an arm to protect the merchants, which means that whoever moved the merchant brigade was making enemies of Nanjun. This deterrent power is incomparable to that of civilian armed forces.

"At the same time," Lu Zhe smiled and waved his hand to let those who were talking in the ear be quiet first, "Ben will also give you a lot of convenience. For example, the special products of the county are sold by you for a fee, and the military merchants are only open to the people in the county. ”

Jia Ping, one of the three major clans, stood up very knowingly and said, "The county lord is so kind, I am grateful. He looked around at the people who came with him, and saluted Lu Zhe respectfully: "If you have an order, you will never give up!" ”

Oh, shouting "county lord" is not the "county lord" of the royal woman, the current title is Lu Zhe is the lord of the southern county, with the habit of this era, as much as possible, there are only two words left: "county lord".

Lu Zhe's benefits were not in vain, he really said: "The caravan you sent will go to many places, and it will also take root and develop in many places, what I need is for you to spy on the local intelligence." This information is not limited to military affairs, but also to record and write down the customs and customs in detail, and also pay attention to whether there are great talents in the local area. ”

Many people's minds instantly thought of the word "fine work", and they hadn't figured out the risks involved, and Lu Zhe continued to say it.

"If you find a talent, bring him back, or recommend him to me. If you are really talented, I will reward you greatly," Lu Zhe smiled, paused to let them think for a while, and after a while, he said, "This is a voluntary act, you are free to choose whether to agree or not." If not, the army will not change to escort the caravans. ”

Sending troops to protect the caravan was a deliberate decision made by Lu Zhe, which was to support the business of the county, but also to expand the influence of the people, and at the same time, the troops could also be trained to train some officers to lead the caravan.

There is another layer of deep meaning, the number of troops who go out with the traders will not be too much, even if the traders in other counties and counties are accompanied by regular troops, they may be afraid but will not be too stimulated. Once this kind of small-scale movement of troops back and forth becomes the norm, and it is just a pure escort caravan that does not take the initiative to threaten anyone, those armed forces will only slowly become accustomed to it, and Lu Zhe wants to use this kind of small-scale troops to paralyze the armed forces of other counties and counties, which can be regarded as a strategy of boiling frogs in warm water.

The patriarchs were quite bold and immediately agreed, and some of the gentry also agreed. Some gentry are hesitant.

There are no benefits in the world that come for no reason, Lu Zhe did so to take a step closer to bundle interests, so that he could unite the powerful and influential people in Nanjun more closely, rather than purely using "power" to oppress.

It is not difficult to imagine that they know that they can get benefits from Lu Zhe, and if they want to betray, their interests will be damaged, and they will immediately consider whether the betrayal is worth it. The tighter the binding of interests, the less likely it is that they will turn their backs on Lu Zhe, and at the same time, they will not cooperate out of necessity, and they will do their best to protect Lu Zhe with the involvement of interests. After all, Lu Zhe's interests are also their interests.

Sending troops to protect Nanjun's caravan was only Lu Zhe's first step, and he had many more steps to do in the future, which would eventually make Nanjun's original power fully accept and become part of this huge group. Just like Fan Zeng once said, as long as he is willing, it is difficult to achieve actual separation.

In addition to bundling the interests of the people, Lu Zhe is also making arrangements for the army, and he feels that it is time to give the army some benefits, after all, the army is the guarantee of his survival.

The arrangement of the army is not so complicated. Isn't Lu Zhe building a new city? When the outer walls are erected, he will first build a number of houses, which will be divided into several grades, and then distributed to the soldiers of the army free of charge. The most common houses will be given to the Soldiers. Meritorious soldiers will be graded higher, junior officers will be assigned servants in addition to larger houses, and the benefits of more senior officers will be increased accordingly.

I vaguely remember a sentence that calls those who are in constant birth have perseverance. The general idea is that people will use that determination to maintain it if they have an inheritance, and as long as the soldiers get the house, then they will have a concern in the southern county.

Lu Zhe also took one thing into consideration. Since most of the army is from the remnants of the Six Nations, most of them have lost their loved ones. He decided to announce the news of the distribution of houses to the whole army after the capture of the Qianzhong County Governor's Mansion, and then announced that he would also announce that he would give money to the soldiers who wanted to start a family to complete the marriage, and if there was no woman he liked, he would also give a maid. There is reason to believe that as long as the soldiers learn of this news, their morale will be boosted, and they will not be able to fight hard.

Women's affairs are easy to solve, attacking Qianzhong captured quite a lot of Baiyue women and Chu women, Lu Zhe is a little hesitant about the allocation of acres, according to the logic that the distribution of acres is much more appropriate than women, but he is not sure how Xianyang will react, although the distribution of houses and women is sensitive and does not violate the laws of Qin, but the distribution of fields is really too rebellious, this year only the first emperor has the right to reward his subordinates with land.

Over there, Lu Zhe was thinking about how to distribute the benefits of the army, and Fanxian hesitated for a while before he asked cautiously: "I don't know how much the lord will invest in the caravan?" ”

Become a shareholder? Oh! As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was actually a saying of shares, and now it is not surprising that Fanxian asked so much. In fact, in the Qi State during the Warring States Period, that is, the Qi State during the Guan Zhong Period, the state had shareholding in various industries, among which the operation of brothels was the most famous.

Lu Zhe felt that depending on the type of commodity, it was most appropriate for dry stocks to go from 30% to 60%, but he still wanted to ask their opinions.

Everyone saw that Lu Zhe had been silent for a long time and did not speak, and after several people looked at each other, Fanxian asked cautiously: "I don't know if the Lord of Sicheng thinks it is appropriate?" ”

Lu Zhe classified the shares in detail, and he simply said frankly: "Among the leather goods, there are some precious furs. Among the minerals, there are similar jewelry made of gold and silver. These are all processed by the prefecture as raw materials......"

To explain in detail, since most of the goods are indeed provided by the county, these things are completely controlled by Lu Zhe, and it is normal for him to have a high proportion of shares. They couldn't find a reason to oppose it, and even felt that Lu Zhe was willing to provide raw materials, rather than them paying for it and taking advantage of it. For some things that are open for purchase, Lu Zhe proposed to occupy fewer shares or even no shares, which is also reasonable.

After a long period of negotiation, after confirming the general intention, Lu Zhe suggested that they could go back and think about it, and if they agreed, they would sign the contract at a later date.

Until they came out of the military tent, the patriarchs and gentry who came had not recovered from the excitement, they were very glad that they could come today, and they found out that Lu Zhe's idea was one, and they were even more pleased that Lu Zhe could have the intention of supporting the county's industry, and they all felt that it was right to take refuge in Lu Zhe.

Waiting for everyone to finish, Lu Zhe fell into contemplation again, of course he knew that this kind of cooperation method was economically speaking, the patriarchs and the gentry took a big advantage, and seriously said that he didn't understand the economy very well, so he had to come up with it and felt that it was the best plan, whether he maximized the benefits or not, it didn't matter. In many directions, he could not only look at the economic aspect, but also the political effects of economic cooperation.

Thinking about the gains and losses, Lu Zhe seemed to hear Yi Jian asking to see him outside, and from his tone, it sounded like he was in a hurry?

After Yi Jian came in, he didn't know whether the expression on his face was joy or worry, in short, it looked a little complicated, and after he finished saluting, he hurriedly said: "Tell the chief general, I found that a force of more than 3,000 people is approaching in the direction of Nanyang!" ”

"Huh!?" Lu Zhehuo stood up, "What about more details?" ”

"Hongling's urgent envoy is still on the way, and he learned from the beacon first," Yikan hesitated, "Since it is coming from the direction of Nanyang County, it should be ......."

"It's Xianyang who has reacted!" Lu Zhe spoke for Yijian, and his expression became more serious than ever: "I've been waiting for almost three months, and I finally have to wait for the result!" ”

Yes, I have been waiting for three months, whether to continue to serve the Qin State, or to carry out the secession or even direct rebellion, and finally wait for the people of Xianyang! (To be continued......)
