In modern terms, Xiao He originally had free time to socialize, but suddenly encountered overtime.

That is, the country under the rule of Lu Zhe has the word overtime, otherwise if it is according to the established historical development, how can the land of China get "I Daqing" after there is no such thing as overtime in the Republic ~ national stage. Previously, even if you work all day, it was within the normal range, and there was no overtime, let alone overtime pay.

What caused Xiao He to work overtime was an unexpected event, the Hu people gathered in the depths of the northern grasslands went south earlier than expected, and the plague in Linzi County and Jiaodong County had also been eliminated, coupled with the various affairs that had already existed, it was a little urgent to take on the work of the entire ruling government.

In fact, the ruling government was already doing the work of consolidating the logistics of the northern Xinjiang army in the early days, and had been preparing for it since it learned that a large number of Hu people would gather in the depths of the grassland and move south, but in terms of scale, it was to maintain the peacetime use of the northern Xinjiang garrison, that is, not to target the campaign-level material reserves.

Knowing that the Hu people are speeding up their march south, the combat readiness level of several counties in northern Xinjiang will definitely be upgraded, and the ruling government's adjustment in logistics and dispatch will definitely be in place.

In fact, the army's material reserves have corresponding plans, such as the lowest level of maintenance and stationing, low war-level consumption, high battle-level consumption, and campaign-level emergency dispatch.

The manpower and material resources used at any level are different, and the level of slow and urgent is even more different. The most obvious is that the unurgent should give way to the urgent. Some time ago, it was the northwest frontier that was relatively urgently needed for logistics line support, that is, the battlefield between the army and the Hu army of Touman, and the logistics needs of the army in other places were to make way for the northwest frontier.

Grading material scheduling is not necessarily correct. But there's always nothing wrong with giving more support where it's needed most.

The war in Northwest Xinjiang came to an end with the surrender of the army led by Touman, and the ruling government did not reduce the material replenishment to the northwest Xinjiang, but on the contrary, it strengthened it in a targeted manner for a certain period of time.

There is nothing incomprehensible about the strengthening, first of all, there are more than 100,000 mouths to eat in the northwest of Xinjiang, and the army that has won a big victory also needs to be rewarded, so the normal transportation of military supplies is reduced, but the materials with a celebratory taste such as water and wine have been increased.

Thankfully, what? It was the end of the war in Northwest Xinjiang. It is enough to transport a large batch of materials for celebration, and it is enough to transport a batch of materials, which is a one-time act. In the subsequent stage, the manpower and material resources originally invested in the northwest can be shifted to other places. Now the highest level has become the northern Xinjiang garrison, the transportation route needs to be planned, the number of transfer stations needs to be increased, and the manpower invested is not yet known.

The ruling government was happy to transport congratulatory supplies to the northwest, and there was an element of victory for the army there. In fact, the biggest reason is not humane. But it's a good thing in the end.

Nearly 150,000 prisoners of war were obtained in the northwest of Xinjiang at one time, which was of great help to the ruling government's future development of the grasslands, which was the biggest reason why the ruling government increased the quota of celebration materials.

If we only open up the territory and expand the land without development, the more land we occupy, the more land we occupy, the more we will not be able to obtain the administrative burden.

The topic of grassland development has been discussed countless times. They came up with a lot of plans, and they made epoch-making progress under Lu Zhe's suggestion.

The so-called progress is really sharding planning. Send people to investigate the local topography, climate and other information, and formulate a farm construction plan if it is suitable for the development of farming. Other planning is carried out in non-farmable areas.

What year is it? It was not long after the end of the pre-Qin era of antiquity! We must not forget that the current Chinese ethnic group is not shrinking into the so-called "world", but a simple farming nation. In fact, a large number of people in the Chinese ethnic group are still nomadic, especially those who are still grazing in the northwest and northern territories, and they are more grazed than cultivated. The existence of this kind of herding group means that the Chinese ethnic group has not "abandoned" the means of grazing except for farming.

The Chinese people, who still have the means of grazing, do not consider most of the uncultivated grasslands to be of little value, and many of the groups that still retain nomadic habits are even happy that the army has conquered the grasslands.

"The Wu clan and the Yi clan have already sent people over, and they have sent a letter of public opinion to the ruling government, asking that they be able to move to the Hetao for grazing, and for this reason they have promised to increase the number of horses sold to the military on the basis of the original, and to increase the number of cattle and sheep and other livestock sold to the Ministry of Commerce every year."

The Ministry of Commerce is a subordinate department of the ruling government, and when the head of the Ministry of Commerce heard the mention of the "Ministry of Commerce," he couldn't help but turn his head and pay attention.

The place where Xiao He listened to the report was in the main hall, and this side is also the place where all kinds of report items are concentrated.

"The Uzh is from the Northlands, right?"

"Yes, the largest of the remaining nomadic clans in the Northlands. In the past six years, they have provided the military with at least 130,000 good horses that can be trained to become war horses, more than 300,000 horses, and nearly 1.8 million cattle and sheep. ”

"Where's Yishi?"

"The Yi clan is a family in Longxi, but compared to the Bang clan and the Xi clan of the Longxi clan, the Yi clan is relatively small in the scale of grazing. It was only recently that the Yi clan suddenly increased the sale of war horses to the military, and the quota for cattle and sheep sales to the mainland was also increased recently. ”

Whether it is the "Lu Zhe Army", or the "Han Army", or the future "Imperial Army", the source of war horses for the military to form a cavalry corps is estimated to depend on Qin for a long time, and that is also due to the customs of Qin Di.

The western and northern frontiers of the Qin State have always had groups that maintain nomadic habits, especially the largest number of people in Longxi who maintain nomadic habits, which is related to the geographical appearance of the western and northern Xinjiang of the Qin State. It is also the Qin State that has really fused too much in the past few hundred years, and Rong Di has something to do with it.

Compared to the northern borders of the nations, the Qin army fiercely prevented the invasion of the Hu people, and the grasslands retained by the Qin land were the most among the old warring states. There is no one at most here. After the former Rong Di was annexed by the Qin State, they may not have changed much in their living habits, but they have actually been completely "Chineseized" in terms of cultural acceptance and ideology. To put it bluntly, those Rong Dita, who were fused by the Qin State, considered themselves to be Huaxia people rather than Hu people in their hearts, although they were still herding......

The Qin State spent great effort on the integration of Rong Di, resulting in the phenomenon that the former Hu people completely regarded themselves as Chinese, and even after the fall of the Qin State, most of the nomadic tribes did not accept the rule of the Liu Han Dynasty at all. Some of them died in the subsequent battles with the Han army, while others ran to areas beyond the reach of the Han army in areas such as the Hetao.

What's a weird example? It was during Liu Che's expedition to the north that no one thought of before, at that time, there was an army wearing the style and color of the Qin army that had died. Although there were not many such troops, and they did not cause much trouble to Liu Che's northern expedition to the grassland, the deeds of wearing the Qin army's battle robes and shouting the Qin army's battle horn to confront the Han army really appeared on the grassland battlefield at that time.

Although Lü Zhe also destroyed the Qin State in a sense, Lü Zhe did not destroy the Qin State in a devastating and violent way. It is an example that was given in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Mergers are accomplished with the threat of force from above.

Lu Zhe's swallowing of the Qin State was also in a special period, as the ruling family of the Qin State, the Zhao family surnamed Ying succumbed under pressure, and the hatred caused by the civil level of the two sides was not too great, even if there was hatred, it was limited to the high-level, and the people were not destroyed by the war, and the resistance level was completely different from the two results of the Liu Dynasty.

There are also some nomadic groups on the Zhao and Yan sides, but they are few and far fewer than those on the Qin side. Both Zhao and Yan were successively conquered by Qin. When the Qin army eliminated the Zhao and Yan states, the methods were extremely ruthless, and the Zhao army and the Yan army suffered extremely heavy casualties under the desperate resistance. Whether the resistance of the Qianshou of Zhao Di and Yandi was slight or fierce, under the Qin army's method of evaluating military merits according to the first rank, the number of Qianshou slaughtered by Qin soldiers and soldiers as military merits is difficult to calculate.

There is no specific numerical expression, but there are relevant documents that have written records that before the Qin State destroyed the Zhao State, the total population of the Zhao State was about 7 million. After the Qin State destroyed the Zhao State, the First Emperor conducted a census of the population of Zhaodi, and the result of the census was that the population of Zhao Land had more than 2.8 million. In other words, after the Qin army destroyed the Zhao State, the population of Zhao directly dropped from about 7 million to more than 2.8 million. After the chaos in the world, Zhao Xie restored the Zhao State, and the population of the newly restored Zhao State was 3.5 million.

Yandi has been a sparsely populated area since ancient times, and the Yan army is also one of the warring states with the least number of armies among the nations. Because the kings of the Yan Kingdom had never done a census at all, no one knew how many people the Yan Kingdom had in its heyday. After the First Emperor ruled the world, the officials of the Qin State did a census in Yandi, and the census figure was that Yandi only had a population of about 1.4 million.

In fact, because of the administrative efficiency and the degree of cooperation of the people, the data of the census of the population of the past dynasties are not necessarily true and correct, which can be the failure of the officials to find the number of settlements to record, or the local resistance to the census to conceal the population.

It is conceivable that the Qin State has always been known for its heavy taxes on the many conscriptions, and the exterminated countries should have cooperated with the Qin State officials in the census. It is estimated that there are many kinds of obstacles and concealments, and the phenomenon that has led to is that the census of the Qin State in the land of exterminating the nations is full of water.

Lü Zhe also conducted a census after gaining the right to rule the "world", compared with the large number of conscriptions and heavy taxes in the Qin State, the country established by Lü Zhe did not have the theory of conscription at all, and the taxes were not linked to the population, but mainly based on the number of acres of land and business contacts.

In that country, instead of forced labor, in many cases the labor force needed to be recruited according to the statistical population, and taxes were not linked to the population but to the acres of land and business dealings. The result of this phenomenon is that the people cannot find any reason to reject the census, and they will only hide the population if they are stupid, let alone hide the population, in fact, it is good not to lie about the increase in the population.

For a variety of reasons, the ruling government is 100% sure of whether the data is reliable or unreliable when it comes to the data for local censuses. Less than 12 years have passed since the census conducted by the First Emperor, and the latest national census of the ruling government, in the continuous census of the empire, recorded an exaggerated figure of more than 20 million people.

It is not out of hypocrisy to say that the exaggeration is not out of hypocrisy, but to doubt whether the data is correct or not, after all, all regions are more or less experiencing war, and there should not be many people in individual areas, but the reported data is too unexpected.

Xiao He has always been a headache about the correctness of the census, in such an era when no matter what you do, people need to work with their hands, the size of the population means the distribution of productivity, and the country will plan according to the data fed back before doing anything, so whether the basic data is correct or wrong is directly related to whether the plan formulated is in line with the local laborable manpower.

"What are the subsidiary requirements of these families who apply for relocation?"

"At present, it is only a request for relocation, and there is no request for administrative assistance."

Who knows what it means to develop with the help of national strength these days? That is, Lu Zhe is such a "freak" who will not squeeze the Qianshou under his rule, but on the contrary, formulate reasonable auxiliary policies, which is not a qualified centralized monarch at all, but conforms to the administrative quality of the feudal monarch.

To tell the truth, not to mention that the Qiantou at the bottom does not understand the state auxiliary policies of various names, the officials of the center are also in the understanding stage, if you want to say who is the person who knows the relevant policies best, it must be Xiao He, who is the great steward of the empire, that is Xiao He must understand, and if you don't understand many things, you can't even deal with them.

"Is it because you don't know the relevant policies, or are there no requirements?"

"This ......"

The army has laid down such a large territory, isn't it just to expand the living space of the ethnic group! Someone always has to build on the land, not to add to the map, and not to do it purely for fun.

"The electors explain clearly to the families who are applying to relocate." Xiao He doesn't want to be a bad person, he is an archon, managing and responsible for the construction of the country: "The king attaches great importance to the population gap in some areas, and takes the initiative to migrate the population from densely populated areas to the empty areas, and those people can play an exemplary role." Do you understand? ”

The waiter who was making the report instantly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and solemnly replied, "No!" When he retreated to the door, he immediately pulled his legs and ran. (To be continued......)
