Chapter 325: The First Discussion on Internal Affairs (I)
Ordinary people think about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and officials think about how to go further while keeping their official positions, so everyone's thinking will always change again and again at what stage and what status.
If there is only one county in Nanjun in his hands, and Wu Rui occupies most of Changsha County, he will be attached to Lu Zhe, even if Wu Rui has other intentions, Lu Zhe will probably accept it.
Knowing that he pretended to belong to Lu Zhe and gave material support, he wanted Wu Rui to withstand Baiyue's northern invasion, so he volunteered to be fooled again and again. In this way, even if people in the world know that Wu Rui is pretending to defraud the materials, they know that Lu Zhe is to let Wu Rui support him, and there is no reason for any jokes, and they will praise Lu Zhe for his long-term vision and no matter what the details.
Now that Wu Rui has lost Changsha County, what will he talk about again? The remnants of the army are only 3,000, there is not an inch of land, and there is a history of pretending to be attached, if Lu Zhe accepts it happily, it is estimated that he will disappoint his subordinates, and it will make the princes have a laugh in vain.
There is another factor that Lu Zhe must consider, Wu Rui is a figure of a prince before no matter how down, if he accepts Lu Zhe, what position should he give Wu Rui?
It is natural to have land and soldiers to give a high position, but now Wu Rui has no territory and only 3,000 remnants, and he will inevitably refuse to accept the high-ranking lineage, and if the official position is low, it is to bury Wu Rui. Even if Wu Rui himself is willing, how should Lu Zhe face some possible "princes" in the future, should they all be given high positions?
It's difficult, it's too difficult, and the matter of buying horse bones also depends on how to do it and to whom.
Aside from politics and military affairs, the army has been either running back and forth or fighting for nearly three months, and it has been exhausted to a certain extent. After all, the composition of the army has indeed become complicated, and if it is not rectified, let alone any "one leader" thing, it is still unknown whether the army can not mess up on its own in wartime.
Lu Zhe, who returned to Nanling City, specially asked people to find Wen Mu, and he wondered how to find that the troops were not the number he knew, but reached an astonishing 460,000!
Not a hundred thousand. Not 200,000, not 300,000, but 460,000 in just two months!
How many heads are there in Nan County, Hengshan County, and Cangwu County? There are only more than 2.4 million people! Even if Lujiang County and Jiujiang County are counted, the Qianshou under Lu Zhe's rule will not be more than three million. With less than 3 million Qianshou having 460,000 troops, can the army not be rectified?
This is not the era of Internet links, where all parties can record and then turn on the computer and look it up. On the one hand, Lu Zhe did not know the correct number of troops because he was constantly running back and forth and could not grasp the situation under his command; On the other hand, since the victory over the southbound Qin army, there have been too many armed forces in the Central Plains such as Chen County, Lujiang County (south), Jiujiang County, and even Surabaya County.
"Originally, counting the soldiers, auxiliaries, and newly recruited soldiers, the total strength was 180,000. Later, he got the leased troops of Huan Chu and Wu Rui, and the strength swelled to 230,000. After defeating Sima Xin, he won another 110,000 Qin troops. That's three hundred and forty thousand. There are 30,000 attached to the Shu family, and there are 10,000 remnants of the Huan Chu army, which is only 380,000...... "Lu Zhe looked at the number and saw that his brain hurt, because there were too many armed forces that came one after another to vote, and in addition to the Chinese, there were also Baiyue people.
"Too much, too much!" The more the army, the better, Lu Zhe has a clear understanding of this, "pick out 150,000 and organize it into ......", he was stunned when he said this. "There were 80,000 soldiers in the original, and after the battle, there were 50,000 more than 110,000 Qin troops under his command, excluding those who died in battle and were disabled," he said. "150,000 soldiers, isn't it ......"
Xianyang's attitude was that the Qin army that remained in the south could not be reorganized and split, so the establishment of 110,000 needed to be retained. If Lu Zhe only planned to reorganize 150,000 soldiers, wouldn't that be to account for the 110,000 Qin soldiers of the Qin family? And this is absolutely not allowed.
"Three million people ......" feels cold when I think about it. Lu Zhe has five counties, but the population is only so many.
Not to mention that Lujiang County's own "civil war" caused a large number of Qiantou to flee or enter the deep mountains and old forests, Xiang Liang's ravaging of Lujiang was too ruthless and poisonous. The 300,000 young men in a county were either killed or taken away by the Chu army, so that what Lu Zhe got was a Lujiang with not many young and strong men.
Ji Bu, Sima Xin and others retreated from the direction of the Lujiang River, and they had not yet returned to Nanjun to report that they had been sent.
It is difficult to see men between the ages of twelve and fifty in Lujiang County now, and the whole county has strangely become a "daughter country", and the ruins that the army has seen everywhere are destroyed by the war, which means that the people's livelihood in Lujiang County has also been completely destroyed by the war.
After reading the report, Lu Zhe felt that it was not enough to describe Lujiang County as "full of devastation", it was clear that the entire county was completely destroyed.
The area of Jiujiang County is not large, and the population was only 630,000 before the war, and it will definitely be reduced after the war begins. To be honest, Lu Zhe didn't know how many people there were in Jiujiang County now, and the figure Shu said was that there were still 500,000. However, Shu's is not the county guard of Jiujiang, and that number is completely used in Meng, so there is no credibility.
Shu said that the population of Jiujiang County was overwhelmed. There are no words such as "post-disaster reconstruction" and "restoration of war wounds" now, but tilting resources to restore people's livelihood is something that every government will do, and Shu simply wants to get more resources from Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe was not familiar with agriculture, but he knew that about three million Qianshou could not support an army of nearly 500,000 at all, and even if there were troops in Tuntian, it would be difficult to afford it.
"Will ...... Kuaitong, Xiao He, Mian Lao, Xiao He are invited. "Lu Zhe knew that he didn't know about agriculture, so he had to find someone who did.
At present, if you want to develop agriculture, you need not only arable land but also labor, and labor does not mean that you want to have it, in addition to continuously attracting people from the outside, it can only rely on childbirth, and having a child is not to work on the ground, it will take at least 13 years for the child to grow up.
Relying on the marriage and childbirth of the head of the Qianshou under his rule, slowly increasing the population? Lu Zhe has the patience to boil slowly, but can the situation allow? He was already thinking about how to get more people, and it seemed that Nanyang County and Chen County were good targets, both counties were ruled by the Qin army to maintain a part of the county, but the township was entrenched by large and small forces?
Can Nanyang County and Chen County be regarded as located in the Central Plains? Lu Zhecai didn't care about this. He didn't bother to know which of the two counties was the territory of the previous Warring States, he only needed people, a very large number of people, and how many counted counted.
"Seems like Surabaya is also a good target?" Lu Zhe has reached the stage of doing everything, "Jiujiang County was cut off by me, and Surabaya County has become an enclave of Chu State. Xiang Zhu led 50,000 Chu troops south, and the Chu army in Surabaya County should not have much ......"
Now that Lu Zhe's sphere of influence has bordered Surabaya County, there is no problem at all in reaching into Surabaya County from Jiujiang County, and Xiao He is not from Surabaya County? Lu Zhe felt that after Xiao He came, he should ask about the feasibility.
From people's livelihood to civil affairs, Lu Zhe "suddenly" remembered that Xianyang would send the county guard, and it seemed that it had been almost a month, why was there no movement at all?
In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhe owned five counties......
Nanjun is the place where he started, and it is the county that Lu Zhe thinks is the best developed and the most popular among all the counties, and Nanjun has been immigrating inward, and now the population in the household has reached 1.83 million, which is the largest among all the counties under his rule.
Cangwu County was recovered from the Baiyue people, and due to the fact that the opportunity did not allow the external situation, Lu Zhe never cleared the Baiyue people who were still in Cangwu County. However, he understood that Luo Yao had done a good job in Cangwu County, eliminated the hostility of the local Baiyue, and even recruited more than 90,000 people from the Cangwu Baiyue tribe, and now those people are attacking Ba County under the leadership of Luo Shao and Wu Liang.
Hengshan County is the county that Lu Zhe did not pay much attention to before, and after the army occupied Hengshan County, he has been immigrating from there to Nanjun, and he also looks at the value of Hengshan County from a military point of view, so there is no development in people's livelihood at all. However, now that the situation has changed, some changes should be made in the tilt of policy.
Now there are more Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, not to mention Lujiang County, Jiujiang County Because Lu Zhe promised the Shu family, one-third of the territory of Jiujiang County will be managed by the Shu family according to the promise. To put it bluntly, what kind of positioning should Hengshan County have in the past has now been transferred to Jiujiang County, and it is destined that Jiujiang County will definitely not be able to get Lu Zhe's material tilt in the future, so no matter what Shu's calculations are, it is destined to fail.
Lujiang County has really become a big problem, a county has become a daughter country, the imbalance between men and women is not a big deal, and it may become a reason to attract men, but there are ruins everywhere, which is not easy to do.
"Lord, the four gentlemen have arrived."
"Huh? Tell what, just invite them in. ”
Mengsan won't take that sentence seriously, he used to live in a tent, and there was no way to keep the etiquette simple. Now Lu Zhe lives in a huge mansion, and there is no shortage of specifications such as the front yard, hall, and hall that the prince's family has. It's just that Meng San doesn't know how the prince meets guests, and Lu Zhe himself doesn't have that mind, so the specifications that should be there are there, but they have never been implemented.
“…… In just one August, a big city has risen on the ground, which is really gratifying. ”
"The cement road that runs through the whole city is more than 200 miles, and the outer and inner walls are also basically repaired, but the residential area and urban area are ......."
“…… The Lord has already planned it, but it still needs time to build them one by one. Now that the Lord has returned, and the place where he lives does not match his identity, it is time to strengthen the manpower of Miyagi ......"
Urban? Miyagi? Lu Zhe listened to their conversation for a while, and at this time, the city generally refers to the trading place, so the urban area should refer to the business district. It's just that what kind of place is that palace, he clearly remembers that he didn't plan any palace city in Nanling City. (To be continued......)
