Chapter 747: Rear

There is no snow in Nanling in November, and the air is a little humid after the continuous rainy season in autumn.

Now there are not too many places where there will be snow in China, not to mention the extreme cold in eastern and western Liaoning, and there has been no snow in the north and western Xinjiang for three years, and there has been no snowfall in most parts of the Central Plains this year.

The temperature deviation of the four seasons of Nanling is not too large, the spring is often about 23 degrees, the highest temperature in summer will not exceed 30 degrees, the autumn is between 18 degrees and 24 degrees because it is raining, and the coldest in winter will not be lower than 15 degrees.

This climate is related to the warm season in the world, and the position of the earth around the sun, which is a direct phenomenon of warmer weather around the world.

In fact, it is precisely because the earth is in a warm region in the orbit of the solar system that there has been no snowfall in the northern grasslands of China for several years, so that the Hu people of the grassland have enjoyed a rich life of water and grass for several years, and the population and livestock of the Hu people have grown explosively.

In the original history, Mao Dun seized the opportunity given by God, and tried to increase the population of the Xiongnu community while attacking westward, and it took less than six years to drive the Da Yue clan to Central Asia, until it was in the modern Tianshan region and met the more fierce Wusun that he stopped expanding westward; After Maudun stopped expanding westward, he turned around and went east, relying on the warm season that had not been seen in a hundred years, to defeat the Donghu entrenched in the north of Liaodong and annex part of the Donghu people. In the eyes of the nomads, the expansion of the territory is secondary, and the most important thing is to increase the population, which once made the number of people in the hands of Mao Dun exceed 500,000, and the total population of the Xiongnu has reached the highest peak of more than 5 million in history, and the population of the Xiongnu has never exceeded 5 million since then.

The absence of snowfall is a good phenomenon, almost all of them are war-torn times, and once snowfall is a disaster for Qianshou, it will be an indescribable tragedy for a group. It's because God still gives face for a while. In the original history, Liu Bang was able to regain his domination of the world, and there were nearly 15 million.

In this version of Lu Zhe, God is still very face-saving and has given warm weather for several years in a row, Lu Zhe rose strongly, quickly pacified the south, and intervened in the Central Plains to destroy Qi and Yan in half a year, how many people are still in the land of China, but the population in the area ruled by Lu Zhe is nearly 14 million after preliminary statistics, and this does not include Qin, Zhao and the local areas of the Central Plains. If the population statistics after the first emperor ruled the world are calculated, the population of Qin is more than 3.3 million, the total population of Zhao is more than 4.6 million, and after the merger of Lü Zhe with Qin and Zhao, the total population on paper will exceed 20 million. And this is almost impossible, after all, in this version of Lu Zhe, Zhao Di has suffered the most military disasters.

The Han method of population counting was relatively simple, relying on registration during the cash-for-work period, and the other was the re-verification of the land.

The Celestial Empire relied on re-measuring the land to achieve the goal of population statistics at the fastest speed, and of course Lu Zhe did not forget it, but compared with the Celestial Empire, Lu Zhe did not do the thing of all land being nationalized and then completely redistributed. Once the land is involved, the amount of land owned by the person will be confirmed, and the land will be returned to the state if it is not claimed. The fugitive and hidden populations will be minimized, as it is clear what the land means to the individual farming people.

The Han State has a compulsory military system, and every summer and winter the young and strong people (including healthy women) in each village will gather for drills, and after the country enters a state of war, the compulsory soldiers are no longer trained but armed to be used as second-line troops. Most of the second-line troops were used to participate in the transportation of grain and other materials, and a small part were used as a local guard or pacification garrison.

Entering the compulsory military system year after year, Xiao He, who originally lacked manpower, was very relieved.

It is clear that the two seasons of the year concentrate on the young and strong for training, which is a situation that can only exist in militarism, but this system is not the first of its kind in Lu Zhe. The first country to establish this system was the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Jin State also became the most powerful country at that time because of this system.

In fact, the sowing and harvesting seasons are surrounded by farming peoples, and the rest of the season is basically in a state of leisure. Lü Zhe's establishment of summer and winter concentration of young and strong is a kind of gospel for people who have nothing to do in summer and winter, and it is much better to be paid just because they are called up, than to be idle and have nothing to do.

As Lu Zhe attached great importance to commerce and industry, there was an inevitable situation in the Han Kingdom, and the closer to the Nanling area, there were fewer and fewer people who simply relied on the production of acres to live.

At the beginning of the national mobilization of the whole people, there were too many people who received dividends from this mobilization, and what was indirectly achieved was the initial opening of the people's wisdom. Of course, the "wisdom of the people" here is the "benefit" of luring with profit, and teaching people that there are other means of income in addition to digging food in the land. Later, because of the development of Qianzhong (the current Cangwu County) recruited a large number of people to participate in land consolidation, and the management of the Yangtze River and rivers, one after another national projects, copper money sprinkled out like flowing water, and the money in the hands of the head of Guizhou also stimulated consumption in disguise, and the demand for consumption will inevitably drive commerce, and the development of commerce needs to be industrial production.

"Ruling the king, the king sent an official letter."

Xiao He's eyes were fixed on the wooden calf, and his hand was already stretched out.

The person who presented the official document to Xiao He was called Lu Ze, and Lu Ze was Lu Pheasant's elder brother and was currently a servant in the ruling government.

What kind of officer is a servant? If it is according to the system of three princes and nine secretaries, the servant is a month and 16 days...... That is, an adjutant of one hundred and ninety-two stones a year. In the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, a servant is equivalent to a small official, not even an official.

However, the Han State under the rule of Lu Zhe is quite freak, under the consultation of Lu Zhe and Shusun Tong and others, the Han State is neither the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries system nor the Nine Grades Zhongzheng System, and at the same time preserves some systems of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system, and at the same time blends some of the systems of the Nine Grades of the Positive System, for example, there are Taiwei and some Shangshu Shilang, and there is no general nor Zài Prime Minister, and what is even more strange is the establishment of aristocratic ranks, such as the advanced titles of one, two, three, four, and five, but there is no rank of zài in the official position.

The prime minister of the Han State is actually the ruler, that is, Xiao He Xiao is in power, but he does not have any power to command the army when he is in power in the Han State, much like the prime minister of the modern Celestial Empire, and according to the official position of "I am the Qing Dynasty", he is the prime minister of civil affairs.

Xiao He's transfer of second-line troops to the front-line army to transport baggage needs to go through the Taiwei Bureau, and the Taiwei Department has to go through the king's ...... That is, Lu Zhe's seal allows, and the general's palace plays the role of a supervisor, and this kind of ring-by-ring administrative system is a balance...... Well, it's actually checks and balances.

At present, the total number of Han troops who have left the mainland to carry out missions has exceeded 1.4 million. The army that went out of the fortress to fight with the Hu people was 320,000, of which the number of soldiers reached 140,000, and the rest were auxiliary troops. Of the troops that did not go out to fight, nearly 300,000 were in Qi and Yan to maintain law and order and necessary pacification, and the other 400,000 were naturally the Central Plains Army of the Qin State that had just changed its banner, and this unit was currently ordered to stop at Sanchuan.

The official letter sent by Lu Zhe to Xiao He was related to Xu Yan's department, and Xianyang had completely stopped sending baggage to the more than 400,000 original Qin troops who had just changed their banners, so this pressure was naturally borne by the Han State.

Xiao He has an excellent memory for numbers, and he knows how many people can be dispatched, and when he saw Lu Zhe sending an official letter requesting the transportation of enough grain for 400,000 people to eat for three months to Xu Yan's headquarters in Sanchuan County, Xiao He immediately smiled bitterly.

Lu Ze looks honest and gentle, and he also belongs to the kind of docile person in terms of personality. He saw that Xiao He didn't let him retreat and stood quietly in place, seeing Xiao He frowning and smiling bitterly, although he could see the official document clearly by moving his gaze slightly, he didn't look at it, let alone ask the reason because it was Lu Zhe's brother-in-law.

After a while, Xiao He came back to his senses from thinking and found that Lu Ze had not left, and after putting down the official document in his hand, he said, "Can you still get used to it?" ”

Lu Ze did not square his hands (that is, his hands honestly clinged to his lower abdomen) and replied: "My colleagues take care of them. ”

Xiao He smiled and said, "Shi Zhi has entered the Nanling Garrison, and you have entered the ruling government, and it is just right for you to have one article and one martial arts." ”

Lu Ze didn't quite understand what Xiao He meant by these words, his younger brother Lu Shizhi entered the army, but he didn't receive any preferential treatment, he was still a senior for almost a year, and he himself entered the civil service system for almost two years before he got a position as a servant.

"The transportation of grain requires an official from the ruling government to sign the detention," Xiao He said here and stopped and looked at Lu Ze: "Are you willing to go?" ”

Lu Ze raised his hand and shook his head, but simply replied, "No!" ”。

Xiao He smiled and signaled that Lu Ze could retreat, and his eyes kept looking at Lu Ze's back, and his tired eyes flashed with depth.

There is a story about the two brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi choosing one article and one martial arts, which is the advice given by Xiao He after Lu Pheasant asked Xiao He. And Xiao He will "conspire" for Lu Pheasant, that is because Lu Pheasant gave birth to another boy last year, and it is also Lu Pheasant who repeatedly hinted that they are both from Pei County and should take care of each other.

Whether Lu Pheasant wants to seek the position of the master of the harem Xiao He has not seen the clue at present, Xiao He gave the Lu brothers a literary and martial arts starting point is also very simple, that is, Xiao He knows that Lu Zhe's heirs will be divided in the future, so that the Lu brothers belong to the civil and military field in advance, so that they can help their nephews in the future.

Of course, Xiao He actually wants to maintain a good relationship with Lu Pheasant, after all, Lu Zhe loves Lu Pheasant more in some ways...... (To be continued......) R1292
