Chapter 389: Nanling City (II)

Lu Zhe didn't know much about the development of people's livelihood, so he could only set a general direction, and the details of the affairs needed to be negotiated by the ministers under his command to negotiate a feasible plan.

In fact, even if Lu Zhe is an expert in people's livelihood, it is impossible to do everything himself, after all, no matter how you say that Lu Zhe is not a small official, he is the master of one party, and it is a disaster to really do it himself and ignore other estimates.

Here I have to talk about the vassal structure under Lu Zhe, a group that has risen for a short time, and at the beginning of its beginning, it didn't want to have any civil affairs experts, basically most of them were brave people.

There are only a few Wen Cheng that Lu Zhe can get his hands on now, Kuaitong and Yan Bi don't look like good hands at managing people's livelihood no matter how they look at it, they tend to be business, and Xiao He can't see anything for the time being.

Except for a limited number of people, Lu Zhe, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and other figures in each county, basically don't even summon them, so don't mention anything to understand their talents

In some ways, LΓΌ Zhe's promise to Xianyang to send the county guard over was also due to the lack of civil affairs talents.

There is a saying that "a thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find", but civil affairs talents are far more rare than generals. In the military, it is still possible to gain experience from military books and war examples, but it is difficult for a qualified civil affairs official to gain experience in governing the people's livelihood from books, and what civilian officials need is on-the-ground accumulation.

In the future, Lu Zhe will check the development of each county one by one, take a look at the resumes of officials above the county level in each county, and then establish a set of evaluation systems from the general direction to tap some talents.

"Lord, do you want to go and take a look?" Yan Bi saw Lu Zhe looking at the direction of the house in a daze, thinking that he had moved his mind to find out.

Lu Zhe's itinerary for leaving the mansion had already been decided, and there was nothing to see in such a piece of dwellings, so he shook his head and signaled the team to move on.

The Qianshou in the distance naturally found a large group of armor soldiers, but the number of troops in Nanling City is only much more than that of civilians, thinking that which army is ordered to go where.

Then again, even if the leaders knew that Lu Zhe was among those sergeants, there would be no such thing as gathering around to greet them. It's more likely that they knew about it and hid farther away than they do now.

Is it Lu Zhe who provokes the anger of the heavens and the resentment? In fact, whether to hide or not has nothing to do with whether Lu Zhe is good or not to Qianshou, but a respectful attitude that Xiaomin has had towards officialdom since ancient times, after all, it is impossible to get any benefits from getting together, on the contrary, if you accidentally provoke any big official, you will definitely fall into blood mold.

Nanling City is not big to know only by walking around in person, Lu Zhe almost came out of the house from the time (nine o'clock in the morning), to see how the sun is now four o'clock (ten o'clock in the morning), and after walking for half an hour, you can see the towering city wall in the distance, but it is estimated that you still need to walk for another half an hour.

Lu Zhe's temporary residence is relatively close to the city center, and the direction is probably easterly. From there, they had to walk for an hour to the northern part of the city, eliminating occasional stops on the way. That means that it will take at least two hours to walk from one end of Nanling City to the other.

Two hours is four hours in modern times, and it's still an empty place, and it takes more time to make a detour with buildings. There is a vague record that in Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty, it took a whole day to walk from the north of the city to the south of the city? Of course, Chang'an did not plan Nanling City as Lu Zhe said, so there is no comparison.

It is undeniable that Lu Zhe built Nanling City with such a huge area in the hope that it could become a heroic city in the world, but when he came to the north of the city, he climbed the city tower and looked at the city. Seeing that such a large piece of land he had carved out was in a desolate state, he felt that it was impossible not to be at a loss.

To put it bluntly, Nanling City has now been built with city defense facilities, and the settled population in the city is only more than 60,000. Compared with the total area of about 180 square miles, with a population of just over 60,000, how can it not be desolate.

"A few years of foundation houses, a hundred years of city ......" Lu Zhe looked at the city: "I hope to see Nanling filled with population in my lifetime." ”

"Lord." Kuaitong felt that it was a good idea for Yan Bijian to enter Nanling from the immigrant population from outside, so he stood next to Lu Zhe and said in a low voice: "Immigrants filling the city is a practice of rapid city building since ancient times. ”

Lu Zhe was shaking his head, just immigrating 150,000 people from the north would have a lot of trouble. They are now able to maintain stability if they can, and large-scale migration is bound to cause trouble, unless it is forced or plundered from abroad. Otherwise, how can it artificially cause internal social unrest?

"Let's discuss and come up with a set of incentive policies that are feasible. However, at present, the construction of Nanling City is not the most urgent for us, and more importantly, for the industrial and agricultural development of Cangwu County, manpower is needed to fill the population of Cangwu counties. Lu Zhe stopped and randomly ordered a few camps: "Each camp is 50,000 soldiers, and you can see six camps from here, and they are now our top priority." ”

"What about after the reorganization of the army?" Kuaitong had a different opinion: "Nanling City is our main city, and it can't always be barren, which is inconsistent with our strength, and I'm afraid it will be laughed at by all countries." ”

"Jokes?" Lu Zhe raised his eyebrows: "You mean the envoys of Zhao, Wei and Han?" ”

The envoys of Zhao, Wei and Han were indeed a little surprised to see the empty Nanling City, but they knew that Nanling City had been built for less than a year, and they were surprised not to look down on it but to be surprised by the speed of construction of Nanling. Instead of feeling that there was anything wrong with the empty and desolate Nanling now, they felt that this was normal, after all, it was less than a year.

To be honest, anyone who saw that Lu Zhe was able to build the walls of a city in less than a year would be surprised, and after the surprise, he wanted to learn the skills of construction.

Uncle Tian and Li Zuoche wanted to form an alliance to attack the Qin State before they came, but after coming to Nanling City, they learned that Lu Zhe only spent half a year to build a majestic and long city wall, and they had another goal, that is, even if it cost a lot of money, they wanted to regain this kind of technology.

If he had this kind of quick-building technology, Zhao Guo would be able to immediately rebuild the city defense of Handan City, and he would have a little more certainty of defending against the Qin army, wouldn't he?

Kuaitong was directly speechless when Lu Zhe asked him, who can't see that Zhao Weihan is asking for them, and it's too late to make friends, how can he have a joke.

Lu Zhe took the initiative to mention the envoys of Zhao, Wei and Han, and Yan Bi had something to say.

Yan Bi approached Lu Zhe and called out, "Lord." Then leaned over and whispered: "Last night, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms held a meeting at the post house, ......", explained for a while, and finally invited the merit to smile.

"Huh? The King's Horn? Of course, Lu Zhe knew what the title of King Zun meant, but Yan Bi had said a word about most of the things discussed by the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, and specifically focused on such a thing, which was obviously tempting.

Brought up by the State of Wei, and then the defeated State of Chu was the first to admit it? And it seems that Wei Bao was also commissioned by Xiang Liang? What does this mean in the state of Chu?

Three question marks in a row popped up in Lu Zhe's mind, and he subconsciously felt that as long as it was Xiang Liang's doing, it was definitely not a good thing.

In the final analysis, the matter of honoring the king is too far away from too many people, even if the natives do not have a certain identity and literacy, they will not appreciate the many consequences of being the king.

Yan Bi is a native, right? However, as soon as he learned that the Wei envoy was going to mention that Lu Zhe was the king, he saw a great opportunity, and he would not understand what kind of bad situation he would face after becoming king with a short-lived force like Lu Zhe. And what about Zhang Liang? is a native of the same person, but how to say that Zhang Liangzu is also a prime minister's family, and his gaze and the strictness of the situation have a sufficient understanding.

"What is Zhang Liang's reaction?" Lu Zhe didn't wonder that Yan Bi would send someone to keep an eye on the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.

Yan Bi saw Lu Zhe's expression and said repeatedly: "Lord, it is the king, the king who can build the temple!" ”

Lu Zhe began to be displeased, isn't he just the king? As long as they gain a firm foothold, it is a matter of time before they become kings, and Yan Bi is really a bit of a trade-up to the name.

Yan Bi saw that Lu Zhe's expression was unhappy, and he was a little frustrated, after all, even if Wei was weak now, it was once one of the Warring States, and it was a matter that could be recognized by the nations when Wei was called the king, and it was much more orthodox than calling himself king, he really felt that it was an opportunity that could not be missed, but it was a pity that Lu Zhe was unmoved.

"Since Wei Bao mentioned the matter of the Zun Wang, Zhang Liang has not said a word." Yan Biqing was a little depressed, and he became weak when he spoke.

"The King?" Kuaitong, who was at the tip of his ear, heard these three words and immediately spoke up: "What is the king's name?" ”

Lu Zhe briefly recounted the contents of the meeting between Zhao, Wei and Han last night, and then looked at Kuaitong with a smile.

"Its meaning is annoying, and its heart is punishable. Lord, it seems that this time we did not hurt the Chu State, if there is a chance, we should destroy this scourge in one fell swoop! Kuaitong was furious.

There are still people who understand, Lu Zhe nodded to Kuaitong with satisfaction, and then reprimanded Yan Bi: "Use your brains more in everything." ”

Yan Bi wanted to ask, "Why am I so brainless?" But I really can't ask.

"Deputy Envoy Zhao Guozheng is also harboring evil intentions. So the Six Kingdoms ......" Kuaitong pulled a long tone, and he didn't know what kind of mood it was, "Whether the world is unified again this time or forms a division of princes, a few of the Six Kingdoms will definitely disappear." ”

Yan Bi was strange, how could Kuaitong think so much from this matter, and even said that the six countries of the restored country were going to disappear.

"I intend to ask King Han for Zhang Liang, I don't know what Mr. Kuai has in mind?" Lu Zhe has been thinking about this possibility for a long time.

"Oh? If the Lord wants to ask for Zhang Liang, it is easy to say and difficult to say. It's just that I don't know if the Lord wants Zhang Liang's sincere assistance, or as long as Zhang Liang is under his command? Kuai Tong was not surprised at all, he had already seen many clues from Lu Zhe's attitude towards Zhang Liang. (To be continued......)
